After defeating the shogunate fleet and marching into the eastern city with a large group of men, by the way, the marines rushed over with a platoon of guns, and the warriors who called themselves the shogunate samurai had little ability to resist. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, after losing the most effective samurai and the military generals and retainers who stayed behind, the remaining shrinking scum and civil ministers, after comparing the military strength of Edo and the strength of Xiyi, Minzhi surrendered.
So for these two days, Lorraine and his mercenary army were able to have time to get a good taste of the political center of the eastern island country, Edo Castle, where Oda was in power.
According to Miura, who is desperate for the dog, with the continuous development of the Oda family over the years, it has now become a resident population of 800,000 and has 233 residential areas (towns, island country street nouns)!
That's a wonderful number......
In terms of population and size alone, the New World had a capital of this size only after unification, and the problem was that the Orientals were too wealthy.
There is no shortage of food (only rice), no shortage of clothing (there is a lot of silk), and magic has a long history (witchcraft and yin and yang), and it is really a country worthy of diplomatic relations.
"Speaking of which, you don't seem to see any mages here."
"Mage? Do you mean monk? ”
"Is a monk that bald? I'm talking about people who can cast spells like me. ”
"Oh! It turned out to be an onmyoji and a shrine maiden! ”
Under Miura's explanation, Lorraine once again learned that the knowledge is different from that of the earth, and that the mage is generally called a monk in the East, and believes in Buddhism from the East, but because the war of the gods many years ago has long been gone.
It's all the sages' war against the gods.
In any case, the monks, like the Lady of Dawn and the goddess of the sleeping moon, are mainly used for prayer, exorcism, healing, etc., and their skills are very useful.
As for the shrine maiden and the onmyoji, you can tell from the name that they are the existence of taming magic, just like mages and warlocks, using rune paper, magic weapons, Shikkai and the like, a bit like a local tyrant flow mage.
"What a wonderful Oriental spellcaster." Lorraine said that there were so many mages in the Orientals that he came to the Edo Castle Tower, the core castle of Oda's administration, and that there was a meeting waiting for him here.
Located in the center of the city, the castle tower is lined with low wooden buildings, with the occasional brick and stone house resembling a flock of tall chickens.
It doesn't seem strange.
"Your Excellency General Lorraine, what do you ...... Your Excellency, General? Did you hear what I was saying? "The short Oda retainer saw General Xiyi who was participating in the council, and he was actually in a daze over there!
"Huh? Ah, it's okay......" Lorraine came back to her senses and noticed that the members of the guard that Miura had brought with her wanted to laugh a little, shrugging her shoulders to indicate that everything was normal.
"You!! Is it insulting Dongei's administration!? ”

While Lorraine was preparing for an attack that could come at any moment, Oda Nobunaga returned with her army as the current head of the Oda family, the head of the three Toei royal families, and the shogunate.
Nobunaga rode on a war horse, and his yin-yang eagle eyes (oriental telescope) in his hand stared at Edo, the center of the world and her capital.
Now it has been seized by a group of white-skinned Xiyi who don't know where they came from, and it is said that there are as many as 10,000 people, as well as the advantage of a fleet and iron artillery.
This had to make her wonder, could it be that these people were invited by that bastard Shota of the Tokugawa family?
The Tokugawa tortoise does have this record, and they are the only ones in the entire archipelago who recruit mercenaries on a large scale, especially foreign mercenaries.
Even the hateful Uesugi Kenshin had a lot of Xiyi cavalry under him, all of whom were good men and not idle people.
As for Nobunaga himself...... It seems that only those down-and-out Fangshi (mages from the Eastern Continent), doctors from Xiyi, and the Iron Artillery Corps have taught these auxiliary forces to have the presence of foreigners.
"Nobunaga! There is an urgent report from the ninja army! ”
Taking the scroll handed over by the small flag, Nobunaga was a little helpless, wouldn't these ninjas keep pace with the times?
Learn from their counterparts in the East and West, intelligence unloading, easy to transport and hidden notes will die ah!
If you have to use scrolls, this kind of thing is not practical and easy to be captured by the enemy, it is really speechless!
"This group of people called themselves Bretanians from the New World, and the purpose of coming to Dongying was actually to establish diplomatic relations...... It's hard to believe, is there a way to see this? ”
“…… There were more than 9,700 Bretanian ghost animals on the shore, more than 50 warships, but the sailors were highly vigilant and could not be investigated in detail, and the number of heavy iron cannons was unknown, but each man had a new type of iron cannon. ”
Well, Nobunaga felt that the information in his hands was almost useless except for the number of people and the number of iron cannons, and this was what the ninja army handed in!
Don't think that ninjas are as powerful and handsome as in TV, movies, and anime, in fact, almost all of the ninjas in Toei are from broken backgrounds.
I can write three-legged cat kung fu, and then some messy knowledge, some mysterious spells, and most importantly, a sensitive body.
These constitute all the skills of a ninja, a super hodgepodge, a panacea that looks like everything, and to put it bluntly, a super half-ass.
Moreover, intelligence analysis and probing, such a relatively professional thing, their role is really not as good as that of the army, at least the intelligence submitted by scouts and spies will seem to be more focused.
"These ninja armies don't seem to be of much use......"
"Lord, I don't know what our army is going to do next?"
“…… Array, attack Edo with a siege array! Cheer up, this time the enemy is not ordinary! ”
"Hey!"
So, when Lorraine received the news, a large number of troops appeared outside Edo Castle, all of them gathered under the banner of plum blossoms, and marched towards the city in battle formation.
"It looks like the army of the Dongying people has returned, how is our army gathered?"
"Well, you know it's too comfortable these days, so the troops ......"
"Tell the truth, or I'll throw you on the death squad."
"Yes! At present, only 3,000 men were assembled, and the others could not immediately enter the battle due to physical strength or illness, and General Alexander, the deputy commander of the legions, had not been found until now, and it was said that he was looking for Miss Charlotte. ”
What can Lorraine say?
A group of people were confused when they saw the world of flowers, and two-thirds of the troops could not participate in the battle, so it can only be said that the belief of the Brittan soldiers was not qualified.
Just Dongying beauties and boys can defeat them, if they come to Songyue, won't they be directly confused to death by Dongtu?
It's okay to be a soldier, but Alexander, as the deputy commander, is you still looking for Lorraine's women's identity, and you can't even return to the camp, is this really okay?
Whether they have problems or not, when the time comes, war will not wait for you to be ready.
