Create a fantasy paradise starting from Conan

"According to our investigation, Lord Soun is actively preparing for war, primarily focusing on defense. He is also continuously purchasing food and fodder from merchants."

"that's true."

That group of homeless poor people came here desperately to grab territory, but it is impossible to kill them all.

Therefore, the best way is to hold on, kill the daimyo nobles, and then accept the civilians.

Hojo Ujiyasu stood up unconsciously and paced back and forth in the living room. He thought and thought, but could not come up with any good solution.

"By the way, how good was that grandfather at fighting?"

"According to the investigation, he has never been defeated. However, because he has to lead the Onmyoji to fight ghosts in various places, his whereabouts are elusive and he disappears from time to time."

"That's enough. Just be better than me. I'm really not good at fighting."

When it comes to conspiracy and government administration, Hojo Ujiyasu believes he is no worse than anyone else.

But in war, all you can do is defend the city and bully those idiots.

In other words, he had lost all confidence after losing to Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin too many times.

"In that case, without further delay, we should set off immediately to the other Odawara Castle to discuss the alliance with our grandfather."

"Let's hand over our army to Grandfather as well. He should be able to stop those poor Oyu guys."

"As for the Oda family, we can only put it aside for now and talk about it later."

……

Because he had taken the initiative to give away Echigo Province, Uesugi Kenshin thought he would be severely scolded by his other self and would part ways with him.

Unexpectedly, she was not angry, and expressed her willingness to stand by him, but just wanted to meet that strange man.

So, two days after Echigo Province issued an announcement of its subordination to the Oda family, Shiramaki, who was still inspecting and reorganizing the army in the Koshin area, was invited by Uesugi Kenshin to come to Kasugayama Castle with Suzu-jo.

And Takeda Shingen also followed again.

On Nobuna's side, Uesugi Kenshin has silver hair, red eyes, snow-white skin, and always wears a monk's turban on his head. He occasionally reveals a lonely and weak expression, but when he picks up a weapon, he instantly turns into a Valkyrie exuding a murderous intent.

On Nobunaga's side, Uesugi Kenshin had black hair and black eyes, and although his skin was also fair, it was also within the normal range.

At all times, he exudes a firm and awe-inspiring aura, which is completely different from the Uesugi Kenshin that Takeda Shingen knew.

"Two Uesugi Kenshin! Hello, since it's hard to tell you apart, I'll call you Black-haired Kenshin and White-haired Kenshin based on your hair color."

Takeda Shingen greeted him with a smile, then curiously compared the two men's height, figure, and temperament.

In terms of appearance, both of them are very beautiful women.

However, Kenshin on his side was not tall enough, and looked a little petite when standing next to him.

On the contrary, it was the other black-haired Kenshin, who was of the same height as himself, and the feeling of rivalry was even stronger.

"Takeda Shingen? Hello."

Black-haired Kenshin was also full of curiosity. She heard that her self in another world was able to defeat both the Takeda and Hojo families at the same time. She actually didn't understand how he did it.

After all, he was alone, and when the four generals of Takeda, Fenglin, Huoshan and others were dispatched at the same time, he would always be unable to hold on alone.

Only by joining forces with Hojo Soun can the expansion of the Takeda family be barely curbed.

"I never thought that we, Takeda and Uesugi, would actually unite one day. Moreover, with two Takeda and two Uesugi, I really can't think of anyone else who can be our opponent, haha..."

Chapter 58 Even if I face gods and demons, I will decisively swing my sword

During the chat, several people got to know each other a little bit.

Although he still didn't quite understand why his other self decided to serve the Oda family, (black-haired) Uesugi Kenshin didn't say much.

On the first day of the fusion of the two worlds, she had already decided to advance and retreat together with her other self, no matter what happened.

After a while, a girl with blue hair, blue eyes and a big forehead walked in with a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old.

"Lord Kenshin."

The two spoke almost at the same time, and the two Uesugi Kenshin turned around almost at the same time and responded to them with a smile.

Black-haired Kenshin quickly reacted and took the initiative to introduce himself:

"This is Naoie Ai, my military advisor."

Seeing this, without waiting for the white-haired Kenshin to speak, the little girl said hurriedly:

"I'm Naoe Kanetsugu, I've just recently joined the Uesugi family and am currently serving as Ai's assistant."

It is obvious that Naoe Ai and Naoe Kanetsugu are the same person belonging to different worlds.

Takeda Shingen smiled knowingly, and at the same time thought unconsciously:

From this perspective, the two worlds are actually similar.

"Excuse me." After sitting down on the chair, Naoie Ai hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Kenshin, something happened at the Hojo family."

If possible, she actually didn't want to say these words.

However, both Kenshin are the type of people who like to meddle in other people's affairs, fight for others without asking for anything in return, and try to prevent wars everywhere.

Besides, it is difficult to conceal such things.

"The cause of this incident is the fusion of the two worlds... Currently, the Oshu Daimyo, having lost his home and been forced to relocate, is preparing for a bloody battle with the Hojo clan."

Upon hearing this, both Uesugi Kenshin fell silent.

Losing one's home and fighting for survival can never be considered an unjust war.

But the indigenous people of the Hojo family's territory are also innocent, and defending the country is also a just act.

At this time, Takeda Shingen couldn't help laughing:

"Hehe...are you struggling? I knew it, only Uesugi Kenshin would consider something like this."

"Because I've been fighting for others for free, I hate injustice from the bottom of my heart. So, I call myself the embodiment of justice and vow to fight against those who are unjust to the death."

"But now, you finally understand the feelings of us ordinary people, right?"

"Whether it's for survival or for profit, war is war."

"The best way to stop the war is to unify the country and subjugate all those who disobey."

“When there is only one voice in the country, war will naturally disappear.”

"absurd!"

White-haired Kenshin stood up instantly without hesitation:

"You're just making sophistry. If there's no righteousness, how can there be any trust between people?"

"Even if the world were unified, the daimyo would have to guard against rebellions by the samurai, and the samurai would have to guard against rebellions by their subjects. What would be the point of such unification?"

"I absolutely do not agree with a country that uses violence to coerce others into obeying its orders, without using moral principles to restrain people's hearts."

Takeda Shingen also stood up, and instantly became a head taller than the white-haired Kenshin. He felt that he had suppressed her in terms of momentum, and even his voice became much louder.

"If your so-called righteousness were reliable, there would be no crime in the world..."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Bai Mu could only stand up, hold both of their shoulders, and sigh helplessly:

"Okay, stop arguing. You're both right, and yet both are wrong. Ultimately, you're both only seeing the tip of the iceberg, and yet you think you've seen the whole world."

"Three thousand years ago, the Zhou Dynasty ruled the country with rituals, which led to constant conflict during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and eight hundred years of unending war."

"Two thousand years ago, the Qin Dynasty ruled the country by law, but the laws were harsh and the monarch was unjust, which led to the struggle for supremacy among various warlords..."

"Laws, principles, benevolence and justice... none of these can be missing. Otherwise, you'd just be a disabled person with missing arms and legs."

"No matter how big it looks, it's hard to stand firm in the face of a sudden storm."

"I don't deny Kenshin's determination. Fighting for the people and stopping the war was never a mistake, nor was there anything to be blamed for."

"I don't dislike Shingen's strategy either. Fighting for unification, even if it means using some despicable means, is ultimately for a better future."

"If we have different ideas or don't like each other, we can discuss it later."

"But right now, the most important thing is to solve the problem rather than wasting time arguing."

Black-haired Kenshin stared blankly at the white screen, as if thinking about something, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

So, is this another reason why I decided to follow him? Because his ambition is all-embracing and very gentle.

Or is it because you saw a brighter future in him that you decided to make a change?

"I think Mr. Baimu is right. The Oba coalition and the Hojo family are about to go to war. We can't just sit back and watch."

"It's just that we have always been allies with the Hojo family led by Hojo Soun, and I really don't want to take action against our allies."

"On the other hand, I don't want to attack a group of people who are trying to survive."

"Mr. Baimu, do you have any solution to achieve the best of both worlds?"

Hearing this, Bai Mu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

How can one achieve both in this world?

When two sides are fighting, you either help A or help B. There is never a third option.

In other words, apart from these two options, any other options will be thankless.

"Kenshin, what kind of personality do you think Hojo Soun has?"

Seeing him staring at him, black-haired Kenshin naturally knew that he was asking him a question.

After a moment of thought, he slowly spoke:

"I haven't had much contact with Hojo Soun, so I only know a general idea."

"Unlike Hojo Ujiyasu's grandfather, who rose above his superiors and assumed the Hojo surname, the Hojo Soun I know is a legitimate descendant of the renowned Hojo family of Kanto."

"As Japan's most powerful Onmyoji, he often leads his Onmyoji team to various places to expel evil spirits and help those in need."

"At the same time, as the head of the Hojo family, he also used various incredible means to continuously expand the Hojo family's territory."

"Since he ascended the throne, in just a few short years, he has expanded the Hojo family's territory several times over."

"In the entirety of Japan, the vast majority of daimyo lacked the ambition and ability to unify the country. Perhaps only the Mori, Takeda, and Hojo clans acted with the goal of unifying the country."

"But it's hard to say."

"It seems to me that Hojo Soun also takes his identity as an Onmyoji very seriously."

Hearing this, Takeda Shingen couldn't help but say:

"Aren't Onmyojis and the like just old-fashioned artifacts destined to be eliminated? Or, in other words, most of them are just charlatans who use various techniques to scam people out of money."

? ?

Black-haired Kenshin was slightly startled and looked at her in confusion.

"Haven't you ever been to the shrine?"

"I've checked it, and I've opened the attribute panel, and the talent limit is 65. But that doesn't mean anything, right?

I've also seen Onmyoji appear on the battlefield, but in the final analysis, these are nothing compared to the muskets of Tanegashima.

I have read quite a few books about southern barbarians. With the improvement and large-scale popularization of firearms, onmyojis and shrine maidens will definitely be eliminated in the future.

Even samurai and ninjas might gradually disappear.”

"What's your level?"

"Level 7."

"I see. If you have time, you can go to the maze and take a look. Some ghost monsters are immune to muskets and swords, and only magic can produce any effect.

Onmyoji is a technique that Japan has improved upon based on the magic on the mainland.

As long as the monsters in the maze still exist, Onmyoji will not disappear."

"I don't believe it! So-called magic is nothing more than something like sword skills. Even after more than ten years of hard training, it may still be difficult to use. But a musket is different. Just pull the trigger and you can kill the enemy. You don't need to train too much."

Seeing this, Bai Mu gently patted Takeda Shingen's shoulder and shook his head slightly:

"Don't say any more, Shingen. This is a matter of your lack of experience."

"Although there are Onmyoji in the world you've lived in since childhood, the best they can do is destroy a city."
