"what's the situation?"

Kagome was still completely bewildered and hadn't reacted yet.

"I knew it."

Inuyasha grimaced in pain, but thanks to the powerful bloodline he inherited from his father, he was finally able to speak again.

He was just about to mock these hypocritical human nobles in front of him and also curse the stupid woman who made him "unhappy".

On the command platform, Uchiha Sō slowly raised his hand, signaling that Akechi Mitsuhisa should not continue to speak.

"My lord!"

Akechi Mitsuhisa felt a surge of anxiety.

"Ok?"

Granny Feng, who had been in despair, suddenly had a glimmer of light in her eyes.

"Light Repair!"

Uchiha Sho slowly rose to his feet, gazing into the distance with his hands behind his back.

What is the purpose of our ambition for hegemony?

"Of course, it's for the Hojo clan to conquer the world by force."

Without a second thought, Mitsuhiro Akechi gave the answer.

"Yes."

Uchiha Xiang smiled and nodded, but then changed the subject.

"In my view, the Hojo family's empire is made up of millions of ordinary people."

"They are the foundation of the Hojo family. The food we eat, the clothes we wear to keep warm, and the swords we use to fight our enemies all come from them."

"We who enjoy the offerings of the people naturally have a responsibility to protect them."

"If I were to face a monster today, would I abandon the villagers of Maple Village?"

"Then when we encounter an even stronger enemy, how can everyone trust me and not abandon them?"

"This is the true path to victory!"

"My lord!"

Listening to Uchiha Eizo's grand and insightful speech, Akechi Mitsuaki and the other samurai were all deeply moved.

Chapter 240, Unrivaled

"The path of benevolence and righteousness of our lord is the true way of the king."

"Your subordinate deserves to die; you almost jeopardized your lord's path to becoming a king."

“I, Akechi Mitsuhisa, hereby swear that I will use the blade in my hand to pave the way for a righteous world for my lord.”

"A benevolent and righteous king will never regret dying a thousand deaths!"

For a time, the Hojo army camp was filled not only with the oath of Akechi Mitsuhisa, but also with the united shouts of all the samurai.

They all cheered wildly and pledged their loyalty with great emotion.

"The Qilin of Xiangmo, the overlord of the East Sea?"

It took Kagome a while to react. Having just grasped the cruel survival rules of the Warring States period, she, from the future, seemed to understand the other's tenderness even better.

"This is simply the perfect name!"

In an instant, her fondness for the head of the Hojo family increased greatly.

"My lord, please put on your heavy armor."

Although Mitsuhisa Akechi supported his lord's ideals, he could not ignore his lord's safety.

After all, some lords with such great magnanimity have a high chance of creating a golden age for humanity.

As a retainer, he and all the other samurai around him will be remembered in history.

This is an unimaginable and great honor!

"Yes, Lord Hojo."

Kagome, who was almost a fan of Uchiha Elephant, stepped forward to persuade Inuyasha, who was looking at her with a hint of jealousy.

"On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes; safety comes first."

"Need not."

Uchiha Xiang adjusted his light armor and explained with a smile.

"Faced with that monster that controls the invisible sea of ​​hair, light armor will better ensure my agility."

"With the martial arts skills honed over many years (the combat experience of a ninja), maintaining agility is the best way to survive against such monsters (and perhaps even win)."

"Yes... I didn't consider this carefully!"

Mitsuhisa Akechi quickly realized that maintaining agility was the best option when facing an enemy skilled in area-of-effect attacks.

“In that case… I will accompany you on your mission, Lord Hojo.”

A beautiful young woman from the modern era, exceptionally passionate and daring.

Having mustered her courage, Kagome made a decision that surprised everyone.

She looked around and picked up a set of bows and arrows that was placed on the ground.

"Hmph, you stupid woman, don't get in the way. Just stay in the camp."

Before Granny Kaede could stop Kagome, Inuyasha spoke in a mocking tone.

Inuyasha, who possesses the bloodline of a great demon, has now regained his mobility.

"No, I'm not the kind of guy who just talks a good game. I'm going to do my part to protect the villagers."

Kagome shook her head, indicating that she absolutely had to go.

Whether it was to save the villagers who cared for him, or to protect this rare "wise ruler" of the Warring States period.

"Humph!"

Seeing that the priestess Kaede and the monster were still trying to stop Kagome from going into battle, and that their reason was the ridiculous safety issue.

Mitsuhiro Akechi snorted coldly, his face showing displeasure.

how?

Could a mere girl from a remote mountain village possibly be more valuable than her lord?

At this moment, although Mitsuhiro Akechi did not say it explicitly, his meaning was clear.

Granny Feng blushed instantly, but Inuyasha, that thick-skinned guy, didn't seem to care at all.

"Alright, Guangxiu."

Uchiha Sho waved his hand, stopping the unpleasant atmosphere.

Then, seeing the appreciative smile, he turned to Kagome and asked her a question.

"It's very dangerous, are you really going?"

"Of course!"

Kagome nodded firmly.

At this moment, Uchiha Sho suddenly understood why the original owner of this body was willing to be Kagome's "lapdog".

Faced with such a brave and kind young woman, how could a nobleman who had witnessed the darkness of a chaotic world not fall in love with her?

Unfortunately, I am no longer that boy I once was!

"Okay, stay with me from now on and don't stray from my side."

"It's too far away, I might not be able to protect you."

"In the battles to come, do your best to contribute to victory!"

Uchiha Elephant gave the brave girl he admired a positive affirmation.

"Ok!"

The feeling of being recognized thrilled Kagome. She gripped her bow and arrow tightly and vowed to fight hard later.

"Someone, teach her how to use a bow and arrow."

Without much conversation, Uchiha Sho turned and walked towards the gap without looking back.

Standing beside Uchiha Eizo, Akechi Mitsuhisa glanced at the excited Kagome.

He glanced again at Granny Kaede, who had reluctantly followed, and Inuyasha, whose expression was conflicted.

"My lord, you really..."

"Seize the last moment," Mitsuhiro Akechi asked in a low voice.

"Since you are the king, how can you not take the lead?"

With each step he took, Uchiha Xiang's aura grew stronger, carrying his sword.

By the time he reached the gap in the ditch, his aura was so intense that it was impossible to look directly at him.

Seeing their invincible lord ahead, even the warriors who were usually unwilling to risk their lives for the common people were now completely convinced and followed in their lord's footsteps to fight their way out.

"Understood!"

Sensing the change in the army's morale, Akechi Mitsuhisa immediately understood his lord's intentions.

With the benevolent and righteous actions of a king, the spirit of the Hojo army was forged.

Thus, as long as our lord remains standing, the Hojo army will be invincible.

My lord truly understands human nature!

"Charge!"

Uchiha Sō and the other samurai around him prepared together.
