Agong lifted up the chin of Shanhu Gong Xinhai and made the other party look up at him.
"As a military advisor, you should be smart. At this time, even if I am not the real Orobas, I am still your god with this power. You should know what to do."
"You hypocrite, there is only one god for Inazuma, and that is... um..."
Before Coral Palace Xinhai could finish his words, A Gong grabbed Coral Palace Xinhai's neck and his eyes became fierce.
"Well……"
Coral Palace Xinhai's breathing became irregular.
"Baalzebub, she doesn't deserve it!"
Is he angry?
At this critical moment, Coral Palace was still thinking, why was he so angry when Thor was mentioned? The demon god Orobas was killed by Thor, and this bloodline suppression was not fake, could it be a fake?
"Heh, do you want to hear what you are saying? As a rebel army against the shogunate, you actually recognized the Thunder God. It seems that you have been completely tamed by the shogunate over the past few thousand years. In your opinion, you are not against the rule of the Thunder God. If the order of the Eye Hunting Order is withdrawn, you don't want to fight anymore, right?"
Agong said gently,
"How can this be possible? Since you are resisting, you must carry it through to the end. Your ideological awareness is not enough. You are not qualified to be a witch or a military advisor. But it doesn't matter. I will help you."
The devilish words entered the ears of Coral Palace's heart.
"I will fight for you until the last soldier of Umijima dies."
Coral Palace Xinhai's eyes widened.
"Coral Palace Xinhai, I had high hopes for you, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. As a respected and beloved present-day divine priestess on Haigi Island, please let me borrow your identity."
He wants to destroy Umijima...or he wants to borrow the power of Umijima to destroy the entire Inazuma!
Agong gave the order: "Coral Palace, this place is in your hands."
Why are you suddenly calling me by my last name? Wait, who is this? Why is he wearing the same clothes and looks like me?
Coral Palace Xinhai looked in shock at the woman who looked almost the same as himself who suddenly appeared in the room.
"Hi, hi, hi!" Coral Palace came to Xinhai and greeted him with his hand. "Hello, you descendant of a failure. I am the most perfect work of Lord Orobas."
After saying hello, Coral Palace turned around and complained to Agong: "Can't you use illusion? It feels so troublesome."
"Illusions are not omnipotent. I don't have the extra energy to control another puppet. Stop talking nonsense and solve it quickly!"
"I know, I know!"
Shanhu Gong turned his head and stretched out his hand towards Xinhai, saying with some regret: "I thought you, as a member of the same clan, would join me. It seems that your little head as a military advisor is not as smart as mine. Then, let us become one."
The Coral Palace turned into liquid and enveloped the sea of heart that had no way to resist.
"Let's just write down today's notes. Let's clear our energy completely, hehe."
Laughter of the Coral Palace.
After a long time, Coral Palace opened the door and walked out naturally as if nothing had happened.
"Lord Coral Palace."
A respectful greeting was uttered as they passed by, and no one noticed anything was wrong.
Coral Palace stopped and looked at the other person. He was a young and energetic man. Coral Palace called out the other person's name in his heart, Zheping?
"Zheping, do you want the war to end as soon as possible?"
"Of course I do, Lord Coral Palace. Have you come up with a clever plan to defeat the shogunate?"
"The longer the war drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us, so we need to end it as soon as possible. Teppei, do you have this awareness?"
Coral Palace took out a pitch-black evil eye and handed it to Zheping.
"Please help me call all the soldiers here."
Chapter 90: There is no war without the dead
On the other side, Ying and Paimeng, who were entrusted by Xinhai to deal with the monster chaos on the island, finally finished their work. When passing by the village, they heard the villagers talking: "Have you heard? Recently, the shogunate was defeated by us and withdrew from Wuxiang Blade Gorge in disgrace."
"I was scared to death when I heard that the shogunate army was going to attack us, but they turned out to be so vulnerable. It turns out that the previous defeats were all strategically caused by Coral Palace. You are worthy of being our current human god priestess."
"Yes, I heard that our soldiers are getting braver and braver. If we continue like this, we will reach Narukami Island sooner or later."
……
Upon hearing the news, Ying and Paimeng stared in amazement.
Paimon muttered in surprise: "Ying, we've only been away for a few days, and the situation has changed so quickly?"
“That’s a good thing, too.”
There was some commotion among the crowd in front of the village. They were a group of rebels who had been injured and retreated from the front lines to recuperate. Pedestrians on the road made way for these heroes out of respect. Ying and Paimon also followed everyone and retreated to the sides of the road.
There seemed to be more veterans among this group of retreating rebels, and many of them had gray hair.
"Strange..." Paimon felt something was wrong, "Are there so many veterans in our resistance army? I've never seen them before."
Ying didn't think much about it: "After all, we don't know everyone in the squad, huh? Isn't that Teppei?"
Ying pointed at one of the rebels. Paimon looked in the direction of Ying's finger and said uncertainly, "It seems so? But he looks a little old."
After Ying rescued Thomas, he was wanted and came here to seek help from the resistance. The first person he met was Teppei who was being chased by the shogunate soldiers. After the rescue, with the help of Teppei, he joined the resistance and got to know Coral Palace Xinhai. However, compared with Ying before he left, Teppei looked a little haggard. Although his hair was not as pale as other veterans, he was visibly aged, and his previously black hair turned black.
Is this really Teppei? Isn't he a huge change from before?
"Hey! Teppei!"
Paimon shouted out loud, and Zheping in the team looked over here and confirmed that it was Ying and Paimon coming over.
Paimon muttered, "It really is Teppei."
Teppei greeted, "Ying, Paimon, I didn't expect to see you here."
Paimon asked with some concern: "How are you, Teppei? It seems that you are not in a good condition now?"
"It's okay. I just came back from the front line. I might be too tired. Ahem..."
Teppei said as he covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
"Sorry, maybe because I got injured on the battlefield, I need to go back and rest first, cough cough cough..."
He covered his mouth and started coughing again, as if he was really seriously injured.
"Then you have to be careful."
Teppei showed a healing smile on his face: "Don't worry, I'm much stronger now. After I have a good rest, I will return to the battlefield to kill a few more elite soldiers of the shogunate."
Under the worried gazes of the two, Teppei turned and left.
Paimon was still muttering, "I didn't expect Teppei to be able to fight against the elite of the shogunate. He has grown a lot since we first met... But I still feel like something is weird, that... it looks so inconsistent. Ying, did you notice that Teppei's hair has turned a little gray? It was gray just now."
At this time, Zheping, who was walking halfway, started coughing again. This time it was more serious than before. His waist was bent down. Even if he used his hands to block the blood, it still spurted out of his mouth. He couldn't stand and fell to the ground.
"Alas! Zheping!"
Ying hurried forward to support him. Ying touched the side of Zheping's waist, where there seemed to be a bulging stone-like object covered by clothes.
God's Eye? Teppei didn't have God's Eye before?
Ying seemed to have thought of something, and temporarily helped Zheping to sit steadily on a stone pier by the roadside.
"Thanks……"
Teppei thanked him.
"Zheping." Ying's voice became serious, and he showed the black stone he took from Zheping's waist, "Can you tell me where you got this thing from?"
Paimon looked at what was in Ying's hand and said in surprise: "Isn't this the evil eye of the Fatui? I heard that using this will overdraw your vitality... Wait, Teppei, you..."
Teppei avoided their sight.
"Feel sorry……"
Paimon belatedly remembered something and looked at the soldiers returning to the island, those gray-haired veterans.
"Could it be that... these people are..."
Paimeng didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Ying looked at Zheping who was avoiding her gaze. It seemed that Zheping knew what would happen if he used the evil eye... Then he looked at the returning team. Perhaps these people also knew. Then, who could order the rebels to use the evil eye...
Ying hurriedly brought Paimon to the Coral Palace on Kaigi Island. When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw Goro, the general of the Kaigi Island resistance army, and Coral Palace Shinkai, the supreme leader of Kaigi Island, standing at the door. The two seemed to be discussing something.
Wu Lang clenched his fists and said in a sad tone: "Master Coral Palace... why..."
"Wulang, I understand how you feel. I am more sad than you for making such a decision. They trust me immensely, but I..." Coral Palace closed his eyes, "But this is war."
"But they are all our companions, brothers we can trust in life and death, but..."
"Xin Hai!" Ying rushed over to interrupt their conversation. Ying took out the evil eye and said, "Xin Hai, this evil eye is..."
"Ying, I know what you want to ask. Just now, Goro asked the same question. It was me who gave the order to let some soldiers use the evil eye."
Without waiting for Ying to finish asking, Coral Palace admitted it.
Ying stared. Although she had guessed it before, she was still shocked when it was said directly.
"Xinhai, you are cooperating with the Fatui? Do you know the side effects of the evil eye? It will overdraw the life of the user..."
Coral Palace interrupted Ying again and said directly, "I know." Then he asked, "I know that cooperating with the Fatui is meaningless and will only hurt the tiger, but Ying, what do you think war is?"
Without waiting for Ying to come back, Coral Palace said directly: "War is a war that ends when one side completely annihilates the other side by any means necessary. There is no war without sacrifice. We are at a disadvantage. If I don't use the evil eye, then failure is inevitable. We will face the liquidation of the shogunate. I am the leader of Haigi Island and I bear the fate of everyone. I must lead everyone to victory in the war."
Coral Palace closed his eyes, as if he was having a final mental struggle. Finally, he opened his eyes and said calmly, "So the necessary sacrifices now are all for the sake of no more sacrifices after victory in the future."
Ying took a few steps back, unable to believe it, as if it was the first day she met Xinhai.
Chapter 91 Let the scattered soldiers deal with her
Wu Lang opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he remained silent.
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I will not force you to use the evil eye. Currently, the priority for using the evil eye in the army are soldiers who have no ties. They have no family or children. They were informed of the side effects before they set off, and they are all willing to do so."
"Yes, Lord Goro, Ying, we all volunteered."
Teppei, who came from behind and was supported by someone, explained for Coral Palace, "Sir Coral Palace told us everything before and advised us to think carefully, but... ahem... I think I'm not that strong. I can easily defeat a small group of shogunate soldiers with this power. I want to do more for everyone before my body completely collapses... ahem..."
Zheping's cough became more and more severe, and his voice began to become intermittent.
Ying looked at Zheping's face, which had turned completely white and aged, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I feel... my body is becoming weaker and weaker... Is it because I overused the evil eye? Unfortunately, there are still many things I haven't done..."
Zheping stood unsteadily, as if he had used up his last bit of strength. His eyes slowly closed, and finally he fell into the arms of the person who was supporting him.
Paimon shouted in panic, "Hey—Zheping!"
The conversation with Coral Palace ended with the death of Zheping. In front of the simple grave behind the mountain, Ying lowered her head in pain.
On this continent, another friend left me forever, and in this way.
"Xinhai, is this really okay?"
Ying lowered her head and asked Coral Palace who came to worship with them on the other side.
"This is war, I have no choice."
Ying clenched her fists. Damn war.
Shanhugong comforted her: "Ying, I know you are not feeling well now. It's not just Inazuma. This world is like this. Someone will sacrifice at any time. If necessary, for everyone, I can also sacrifice..."
Goro, who was beside Coral Palace, interrupted and said, "Master Coral Palace, please don't say such things. Haigi Island cannot have you. If possible, I will sacrifice myself for you."
"I see. Sorry, maybe I should calm down. I'm a little tired. I still need to formulate a strategy to prevent the shogunate's counterattack. I'll go back first."
Coral Palace left first.
Seeing Ying still standing in front of the tomb and not wanting to leave for the time being, Wu Lang advised: "Ying, you should go back and rest early as well."
Ying asked, "Wulang, do you think it's okay to continue using the evil eye like this?"
Paimon also whispered, "Yes, Wulang, the Evil Eye belongs to the Fatui after all. They must have some conspiracy. Why don't you try to persuade Xinhai?"
Goro was silent for a moment, then replied, "Shangri-san is our leader. Although I don't want to have anything to do with the Fatui, since it's Shangri-san's order... After all, the shogunate wanted to attack Umijima before, so Shangri-san had no choice but to do so..." Goro paused, then continued, "We relied on Shangri-san's strategy to fight the shogunate before. Shangri-san must have his own considerations for doing this."
Ying had already understood what Wu Lang meant, and he didn't want to persuade Xin Hai anymore.
