"Report!"

"My lord, there are people attacking the camp, and some prisoners have been robbed." A soldier from Inabayama Castle broke into the main hall where Saito Yoshiryu and the others were eager to report, and reported to Saito Yoshiryu, who was confronting Tokimi and Takenaka Hanbei for protecting Takenaka Hanbei.

Suddenly, Saito Yoshiryu's expression changed, and he asked in a gloomy voice: "Who attacked the camp, how many people are on the other side, and which prisoner has been robbed?" ”

"Uh......" The soldier was stunned, looking up at the furious Saito Yoshiryu, speechless.

Because he didn't know who had attacked the camp......

"Say!" Saito Yoshiryu, in a fit of rage, burst out.

"It's Mamoru Ando, who was rescued by the enemy." The soldier hesitated, but reported what he knew.

In an instant, the faces of everyone present changed, and their moods became different.

For example, the Takenaka Hanbei let out a long and undisguised breath, and the whole person relaxed as if he had put on some kind of invisible burden.

And it's the same with Tokimi, who is covering her in front of her, her eyebrows are raised, and there is a certain sudden and smug expression on her face-

It's like saying; Look, now you're going to threaten me with something. So that Saito Yoshiryu, who was already angry in his heart because of Tokimi's appearance and troubles, could no longer suppress his temper, and yelled at her, "Is it you!" Did you arrange someone rob Mamoru Ando! ”

Although Inaba Ryotsu and the clan Naogen did not speak, they also turned their suspicious eyes on Toki Mei, who should not have appeared in this place, and doubted her movements.

"So what, no what? It's already this time, and you're still paying attention to these inconsequential places, and you're really confused. As she spoke, a long knife suddenly emerged from the void, and she grabbed it, and slowly pulled out the blade—

"Saito Yoshiryu, let's decide, whether to give up your current power, hand Mino back to me, and put it in the hands of the Toki family, or stick to your desires, and then take the name of Mino's guardian and go to hell to confess to the ancestors of the Toki family, you only have two breaths of time to think, now, tell me your answer." Tokimi's expression was wild, and she looked at Saito Yoshiryu who was standing in front of her with a certain kind of heavenly *** wantonness, and announced in a deep voice.

"I don't choose any of them!" Saito Yoshiryu shouted angrily.

Then he violently pulled out the matching knife at his waist and strode towards Tokimi.

"I've decided to send you to meet the ancestors of your Tuqi family!"

The blade whistled, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared above Tokimi's head.

"Pong!"

Toki Mei raised her sword to block the attack.

But he misestimated the strength of Saito Yoshiryu, and he couldn't help but bend his arm, and the blade was forced in front of him.

"To this extent, you dare to come to me to seize power? Who gave you the courage? The half-guard in Takenaka behind you? Completely pinning your hopes on a little girl, you people in the Toki family are really waste, and they deserve to be set aside and driven away by that guy Saito Michizo. Saito Yoshiryu stared at Tokimi in front of him, whose body was leaning back, and stimulated.

I'm really not afraid of big things, and I want to kill people, and I want to punish my heart, but I'm really not a kind person.

Unfortunately, the wrong object was used.

So the next moment, I saw a red light flash in the eyes of the enraged Tokimei, and a strange red light visible to the naked eye burned up and down Zhou's body, and with the explosion of huge force, Saito Yoshiryu was pushed out with an incredible face.

"Shut up!"

Then Toki Mei roared and rushed in front of Saito Yoshiryu, and the power of the demon sword exploded in full force, and the speed of the knife shrouded Saito Yoshiryu quickly.

Saito Yoshiryu, who was cornered and felt threatened to his life, hurriedly resisted, and desperately fought with Toki Mei, who gradually handed over her fighting instinct to the control of the demon sword.

It's just that after all, the manpower is invincible to the demon power, and in just a moment, the long knife in his hand was cut off by the demon knife that flashed with blood-colored light, and half of the arm flew over, and a big head was rushed out in the gushing of blood, and fell heavily to the ground on the side, rolling out of a distance of two or three meters......

Then Tokimi, who was splattered with blood on her body, turned around, looked at everyone in the field with a cold face, and asked in a cold voice: "Now I will inherit the position guarded by Mino, who is in favor and who is against." ”

Inaba Ryotsu and the clan Naogen glanced at each other, did not dare to hesitate, or said that the killing intent of Tokimi, who had just completed the killing, decisively chose to follow the heart, and greeted Tokimi, who was covered in blood with the courtesy of his subordinates.

"Inaba Ryotsu and the clan Naomoto have seen the lord."

Following the soldiers in the palace, after seeing the choice made by the two ministers, they also obediently laid down their weapons and the idea of fighting, and then met with Toki Mi, the new Mino guardian.

Only the half-guard of Takenaka looked at her with a worried face, worried that she would not be controlled by the power of the demon knife because of this first experience of killing, so that she would completely become a sword slave and never recover herself.

"Miss Mei......"

"Don't worry, Hanbei, I'm fine." Toki Mei looked at the Hanbei of Eitakechu, took a deep breath, regained the demonic power she had liberated, changed back to her original appearance, and said softly.

"Someone."

"Your Excellency." The soldier replied.

"In addition to Saito Yoshiryu's head left for cutting, throw Saito Yoshiryu's body into the mountains for me to feed the beasts!" Without hesitation, Tokimi commanded the soldiers.

And it's such a cruel order at the beginning, I don't know if it's the nature of this, or the influence of the demon knife or demonization, or if there are other plans?

Anyway, the soldier didn't dare to think about it, so he agreed, and called his partners into the house to clean up.

"My lord, I don't know ...... my uncle now" Seeing this, it was not easy to say anything, so Takenaka Hanbei, who could only wait for the matter to negotiate with Tokimi afterwards, hesitated.

"I don't know. However, I think it won't be long before the people who rescued His Excellency Ando will come to us on their own initiative. Tokimi replied.

"Will you come to us? You mean......" Takenaka Hanbei was stunned, and then he figured out what Tokimi meant.

If it weren't for Tokimi's arrangement, there would be only one person or group that could do this kind of thing at this time, the group of Akechi Mitsuhide who had come to meet Mitsumi at the hut and said that they would help her regain Mino's guardian position.

And only they can do it all in such a short time.

Thinking of this, Takenaka Hanbei paused and asked again, "Then what is the next arrangement for adults......

"If you put all of Mino's army under your command, how sure are you that you will be able to repel the Imagawa army and ensure that Mino is not invaded?" Tokimi looked at Takenaka Hanbei and asked rhetorically.

"If it is not a special means, if it is only a confrontation on the part of the army, I am only 30% sure that I can delay the offensive of the Imagawa army at most, but when it comes to ensuring the independence of Mino...... Judging from the number of soldiers we have and the current situation, it is basically impossible, unless there are new external forces willing to join us and help us resist the Imagawa army together. Takenaka Hanbei thought about it and said with a wry smile.
