Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

In addition to determining the structure of the three dukes and nine ministers at the top of the royal court, Dou Ya also formulated some regulations.

Strictly speaking, the generals in the army were directly under the command of the Grand Marshal and did not need to report to the Grand Tutor.

However, the three dukes' positions are mutually supportive - even if you put aside her identity as the mistress of the dog tribe, Ling Yue also has the right to inquire about military intelligence when the other two dukes are absent.

As for whether the soldiers are willing to be commanded by the Grand Tutor, that is another matter.

And every action of the army must be transmitted to Shanya City through the magatama system, and then from Shanya City to the Grand Marshal who controls the troops of the world.

These rules make the straightforward dog demon feel a little at a loss, but the system should be established as soon as possible rather than later.

Rules can be adapted to slowly, but the foundation must be laid as early as possible.

Although the royal court now has many soldiers and generals, it still looks like a group of bandits gathered in the mountains, with only bravery but no rules.

After modern education, Douya always believed that a true dynasty—

What matters is not how many brave and capable generals one has or how much fertile land one occupies, but whether one can establish a legal system that runs like a precision machine.

Let "reason" become the running gear, let "law" become the standard of measurement, so that the entire country can operate on its own like the rotation of the sun and the moon, and will not rise or fall because of the survival of one person.

Of course, then again.

In this world, those who possess immense power can shatter mountains and rivers with a flick of their fingers and change the course of events with a single breath. The so-called laws of the dynasty are but a fragile veil in the face of absolute power.

The durability of an extraordinary civilization will always be the same as that of its strongest.

While the One holding the knife remains standing, the law is irrefutable.

But if the building is about to collapse and the strongest person is gone, even the most sophisticated system will collapse under the changes in people's hearts.

Suddenly, the red magatama on Ling Yue's waist glowed faintly, and a message flowed into her consciousness like running water.

Her eyes moved slightly, and she stroked the jade face with her fingertips, and the light dissipated like ripples on water.

"The Grand Marshal needs to dispatch personnel to escort the Tessaiga back to Yamaguchi City." Ling Yue turned her gaze towards Binglan Wan. "I'll leave this matter to you."

Hyoranmaru responded respectfully.

The warship named after the King's Sword carries not only flying weapons, but also the majesty of the entire royal court.

After reporting two pieces of military intelligence, Binglanwan raised his head slightly and spoke in a steady voice.

"Master Da Situ, in this battle, the mermaid's battlefield song has significantly boosted our troops."

"If you allow me, I would like to request that the Mermaid Regiment be incorporated into the Ashura Army to provide strategic support."

There was silence in the tent for a moment, leaving only the "knock knock" sound of Lingyue's fingertips tapping on the documents.

This proposal may seem simple, but it has far-reaching implications.

This proposal may seem like just a tactical adjustment, but in fact it has a far-reaching impact.

Previously, mermaids were treated as foreign troops and used at will.

Now is the time to incorporate mermaids into the dog tribe's military system, which is undoubtedly a major change for the entire demon world.

From now on, the mermaids and the dog tribe will change from being vassals who were once independent to being subordinates incorporated into the system and integrated into the system of the Demon Court.

What kind of problems could there be? This made Ling Yue, who was dealing with a problem as the Grand Tutor for the first time, somewhat confused.

But she couldn't explain what the problem was.

Binglanwan maintained a posture of asking for instructions, but the muscles under the silver armor had quietly tensed up.

As a commander who had personally experienced the battlefield, he knew better than anyone how those ethereal songs had caused the dog warriors' demonic powers to surge by 30% on the battlefield where blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and how their minds were as firm as a mountain, ready to face death.

This made Binglanwan unable to help but want to strengthen cooperation with the mermaids, and he inevitably communicated with the mermaid leader and knew the other party's thoughts.

So I don't mind going with the flow.

"What does the mermaid leader say?"

Ling Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and her thoughts were wandering between weighing the pros and cons.

Since it is difficult to understand the mystery at the moment, it is better to put it aside for the time being - the Demon Court aims to rule the world, so it should have the broad mindset of embracing all things.

Since it can accommodate the Crow Tengu clan, what’s the harm in having more mermaids?

"The mermaid leader, Minamoto no Yoshitomo, wishes to bring his wife and children to settle in Yamaga Castle and integrate his entire clan into the demon court."

Bing Lanwan leaned forward slightly and continued, "He is waiting outside the tent right now. Grand Master Situ, would you like to summon him immediately?"

Ling Yue said calmly, "Then call him in."

Bing Lanwan took the order and stood up, and the silver armor collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

He strode to the tent door and lifted the heavy animal skin curtain.

A chilly late autumn breeze blew into the tent, intertwining with the warmth of the charcoal fire.

A moment later, a man in green armor bowed and walked in.

He was tall and slender, his skin had a pearly sheen, and a few transparent fins were faintly visible behind his ears.

It was Minamoto no Yoshitomo, the leader of the mermaid tribe.

"Greetings to Master Da Situ."

Minamoto no Yoshitomo knelt on one knee in standard dog etiquette, his voice a little hoarse.

"The mermaids are willing to serve as citizens of the Demon Court and serve the Demon Court's Lord like dogs and horses."

Ling Yue's eyes fell down and she noticed his frail body as he saluted, and the lingering smell of blood all over his body.

This reminded her of the records in the battle report - Akasha did not allow the mermaids to support the dog tribe. In the bloody battle in Yuga City, the mermaids also suffered heavy losses.

The high-level monster in the tribe, Hei Zhangwan, was killed by Akasha with three punches.

If Binglanwan had not made a quick decision and threatened to kill the vampire duke to force Akasha to return to defend, the person kneeling in front of him at this moment would probably be the new mermaid leader.

"Minamotoyoshi."

Her eyes, as bright as the moonlight, stared directly at the kneeling mermaid leader.

"In this campaign to conquer Kyushu, the Mermaid Tribe made great contributions, and the Dog Tribe should show their appreciation."

After this brief polite speech, she suddenly changed the subject, and her tone became more solemn.

"And you just said that you were willing to submit your entire clan to the Demon Court..."

Ling Yue leaned forward slightly, and the pressure in the tent suddenly became heavier.

"There is no room for regret in this matter."

She spoke each word very slowly, as if she wanted to engrave the words into the other person's bones.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Minamoto no Yoshitomo's forehead, and were particularly conspicuous on his skin.

He clearly realized that this was not just a choice, but a path of no return.

But a foreign legion that is summoned and dismissed at will by the Dog Clan, no, by the Demon Court, is just cannon fodder!

As the leader of the mermaids who dominate the Seto Inland Sea, he knows the law of the jungle better than anyone else - as powerful as mermaids are, aren't they also enslaving the weak sirens?

Putting himself in their shoes, if he did not change his identity and become a member of the demon court, Minamoto no Yoshitomo would worry whether he would still be alive the next time the mermaids were deployed to the battlefield.

As for the credit, does the cannon fodder army deserve it?

His dream of the immortal medicine of Penglai was shattered, and Minamoto no Yoshitomo, whose thoughts returned to reality, knelt on the ground without hesitation.

"Master Grand Master, please understand! We, the Seto Mermaid Clan, are willing to be completely incorporated into the Demon Court system and pledge eternal loyalty!"

His voice echoed in the tent, with a determination to risk everything.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, King Douya promoted Da Situ to the rank of Great Monster.

High-ranking generals of the dog tribe are emerging like mushrooms after rain.

With such a good example before him, Minamoto no Yoshitomo also had a hope of becoming a great monster.

Even if it's very unlikely, it's better to have a chance than not to have one.

It is also better than foreigners who may be sacrificed at any time, and the mermaid who is the first to try it may get more benefits.

Minamoto no Yoshitomo secretly clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.

He made this bet.

"In that case, you will follow the last group of survivors to my Mountain Fang City, meet my king in person, and declare your feelings."

"The daily operations of the camps in various locations will also require Your Excellency Yuan Yi's care."

Ling Yue's tone was cold and calm, but it made Yuan Yichao feel relieved, and the tense shoulders finally relaxed slightly.

What people fear most is that they will lose their value and become garbage, which will be ruthlessly discarded and thrown into the garbage dump.

He still knelt on the ground and immediately said, "Please rest assured, Master Situ!"

"Every mermaid warrior in the Demon Court must fulfill their duties and never betray their orders!"

"Then go down and do your work."

Ling Yue watched Minamoto no Yoshitomo bow and leave the tent, then cast her gaze upon the people inside. "If there are no other matters, you should also complete your respective tasks."

Everyone responded in unison, and the sound of silver armor clashing was crisp and pleasant.

They bowed and retreated one by one, the sound of their footsteps gradually fading away, leaving only a few sparks from the charcoal fire in the tent.

Only after the last person left did Ling Yue close her eyes slightly.

The thick tent blocked out most of the outside noise, leaving only a few faint sounds to seep in.

The roar of the Tessaiga's engine as it set sail was like the roar of a deep-sea monster, intertwined with the desolate horn sounds from the distant military camp, echoing in the silent tent.

A new era is beginning with these subtle sounds.

"I should go back."

Ling Yue's fingertips gently stroked the warm jade on her waist, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her lips.

The candlelight in the tent flickered in her eyes, reflecting a rare softness.

"I don't know what that idiot is doing. Is he thinking about me?"

She suddenly collected her thoughts and tapped the magatama lightly with her fingertips, but deliberately did not convey any message.

The wide sleeves of the gorgeous clothes flowed like water as he stood up, shimmering silver in the firelight.
