Chapter 223: Safe Retreat

"Father, mother, brother...... I have avenged you......"

As soon as he let go of his hand, he let the katana that was still covered with blood fall to the ground, and Sakurahime, who was in tears, slowly fell to his knees, crying silently.

Sakurahime's tears soon wet the water god mirror in her arms, and the water god mirror slowly emitted a faint dark blue light, as if comforting Sakurahime, but Sakurahime's tears couldn't stop flowing.

Roger, who had changed from a panda monk back to a human form, sighed silently, and then used his Hero's Credential to send a signal to the troops who had stormed the castle tower to assemble.

Now that all the tasks have been completed, of course, it is time for everyone to run together.

With Phantom Shooters guarding the staircase, Roger had no fear of an enemy attacking the top floor in a short period of time. However, while waiting for the scouts and druids to assemble, the bored Roger rummaged through the top floor of the castle tower.

Not to mention, after all, the current Tokugawa family has unified Yingzhou, and there are indeed a lot of good things. However, things such as Yingzhou precious tea utensils Roger didn't know which things were more valuable, so he simply packed all the things he could take away.

After collecting all kinds of valuables, Roger remembered: he hadn't searched the body of the old Tokugawa turtle yet.

Although he felt a little disgusting, Roger still suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and searched carefully.

Then he found a wood carving, a wood carving of a goat.

This piece of wood carving looks very ordinary, the craftsmanship of the carver is obviously not very good, and the wood carving looks very crude. But in the elemental vision of the Eye of Knowledge. This seemingly ordinary wood carving constantly exudes a strange black atmosphere.

"Sheep, sheep singing? How is this possible! Haven't all those fallen have been slain by the Great Elders? "Look at this familiar wood carving. Roger's expression became unusually hideous.

"My lord! What's wrong with you? Sayuri Hattori pushed Roger's body with some concern, which made Roger struggle out of his memories.

He took a quick and deep breath. Then he added magic seals to the wood carving several times, and then took the wood carving into his arms.

"Sayuri, you go and help Sakurahime, let's get out of here immediately." Roger pretended to be calm, but his expression was still a little stiff.

Without asking anything, Sayuri nodded, quickly picked up Sakurahime, who was already crying and her eyes were red, and slowly stepped aside.

Struggling to calm himself down, Roger quickly made his way to the balcony. A few small seeds were sprinkled with a wave of his hand.

Under the influence of natural magic, those small seeds quickly took root and sprouted, and the magical vines that grew quickly climbed along the wall outside the balcony on the top floor of the castle tower to the lowest level.

Pulling the vine and making sure he wasn't out of shape, Roger took the lead and slid down to the ground. Although the surface of the magic vine is very smooth, there are some side branches, as long as you are careful, you can land safely.

The druids and phantom shooters of the Night Elves naturally slid down the vines with ease, and this difficulty of "rappelling" was no problem for the scouts cultivated by Sayuri and Elsa, and the only thing that was a little troublesome was the depressed Sakurahime. But there's Sayuri on the side to protect it carefully. Sakurahime also landed smoothly.

With a small army and the Night Elf shooters who stayed at the gate, Roger took the lead and rushed in the direction of Tuna and Wendy without saying a word. Transformed into a panda warrior monk again, he brandished the jasper bamboo that turned into a long stick, and opened and closed his way through the Tokugawa family's troops.

"Whew! Ha! Drink! ”

Looking at the panda warrior monk who was almost furious and rushed past him, Wendy couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded: "That's right, right?" Is this really the usual stupid owner? ”

“…… His situation is not quite right. Tuna frowned. You fly into the air and are in charge of covering for him. ”

"No problem!" Wendy gave Tuna a thumbs up, and then flew towards the Panda Monk with a smile on her face. "By the way, do you want me to help you find your opponent?"

“…… No. Tuna shook her head. commanded the rock elements under his command to protect the panda warrior monk faintly in the center, and then personally guarded behind the panda warrior monk.

Wendy is so happy. In fact, it was only because she successfully killed Tadaaki Ono before Tuna could solve the enemy. Although he has gained the power of demonization, Ono Tadaaki is still not the opponent of Wendy, who is eager to make meritorious contributions, so now Ono Tadaaki has been electrocuted to ashes.

However, compared to Ono Tadaaki, who died in the hands of Wendy, Yagyu Soki, who was of the same level, retreated from Tuna's men, which made Wendy feel that he had indeed defeated Tuna, so he was overjoyed. Of course, Tuna didn't really take this matter to heart at all, but she was somewhat worried about Yagyu Zongju's retreat.

Unlike Tadaaki Ono, who is desperate with Wendy, Yagyu Soju, who is not low in strength, has been going around in circles with Tuna. Tuna, who has the strongest combat ability among the four elemental heroes, can clearly feel that it is not just because of the different styles in the genre, but that Yanagi Muneju did not do his best at all when he fought against her! Yagyu had always kept several hole cards, so he was able to flee quickly the moment Ono Tadaaki was knocked out.

Tuna, who is not good at pursuit, did not try to chase down Yagyu Zongju, but has been directing the troops to cover the Night Elf shooters guarding the gate, but Yanagi Zongju's abnormal behavior still makes her pay attention.

With the Panda Warrior Monk as the arrow, the assembled assault forces quickly turned around and began to break out. And until the entire army left the square smoothly, Tuna, who had been on guard, did not see the figure of Yanagi Zongju.

And Yanagi Zongju, who was watching the panda warrior monk and his party leave from a distance, sighed silently.

"Do you feel a little unwilling?" A voice rang out behind him.

"No, Lord Tianhai, my allegiance is to His Highness Xiuzhong. Therefore, it is the right thing to do to preserve a useful body for His Highness. Yanagi shook his head, and then slowly turned around. However, His Royal Highness the General actually died in a pirate raid. If such news spreads, how much will the world look down on the Tokugawa family, right? ”

The one who appeared behind Yanagi Zongju was the Tianhai Great Monk who should have died!

It's just that this Tianhai monk has a completely different temperament from the one shot by Melia, and his whole body is full of righteousness.

"I learned from my evil half-body that had been slain that it wasn't a pirate who came to Edo Castle this time, but the remnants of the Oda family." The great monk of Tianhai was chanting a Buddha horn, shaking his head and sighing, and said: "Although spreading this matter will damage the prestige of the family, it will make people jealous of those remnants of the Oda family." After all, the family killed many generals in battle this time. And even the family can't stop this army, so looking at the entire Yingzhou, I'm afraid there is no big name that can stop this kind of surprise attack. ”

"Besides, there is only a little girl left in the Oda family. After the revenge is successful, they should have no reason to continue attacking the family, and the rest of the Oda family's bloodline is under the control of the family. It's just that the reputation of the Oda family has been raised, but in fact, there is not much harm to the main family. Honda Masami, who came slowly, said.

And by Honda's side, it was Tokugawa Ieyasu's third son, with a gentle personality. Tokugawa Hidetada, who will become the second shogun.

"Master Tianhai! Father, father, is he really dead? Tokugawa Hidetada asked with some hesitation.

"Amitabha, yes, General him. It's true that I've already returned to heaven......" chanting the Buddha's name in a low voice, Tianhai lowered his head and said.

Tokugawa Hidetada immediately shed tears: "Well, there is no other way......

"Nope!" Honda said very seriously. "Your Highness, you actually know that, right? Since the time of that curse, the general has not been a general! And the cooperation between the general and those demons. It is very likely to shake the foundation of our family, so we have to do this! It's all for the sake of the family. For Your Highness! ”

Stretching out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, Tokugawa Hidetada turned around: "Zhengchun, Master Tianhai and Master, the rest will be left to you, please be sure to destroy all the monsters!" ”

"Hey!"

Seeing Tokugawa Hidetada leave, the three people who had been bending over slowly straightened up, and Honda Masasumi immediately asked the great monk of Tianhai: "Master Tianhai, are you still not sure where those monsters came from?" ”

The Tianhai Monk slowly shook his head: "I have been with the general for so long, every time I see those people, they are tightly wrapped. Aside from knowing that they were able to wield demonic powers, there really wasn't much useful information. ”

"So, is there anyone in the family who has an affair with these monsters?" Yanagi slowly put his hand on the hilt of the sword and asked in a deep voice.

"Whether it's Doi and Sakai, or Ii and Honda, there are actually people who have come into contact with those monsters." The Great Monk of the Heavenly Sea said slowly, "However, as soon as the news of the pirates' intention to attack the family came out this time, these people came to protect the family. And after this big battle, most of the people should die on the battlefield, and the rest of the people, we will slowly clean up in the future. ”

"Is that so?" Yanagi Zongju narrowed his eyes slightly, "So, how to deal with these remnants of the Oda family who offended the family?" ”

"According to the following opinion, it is better to turn a blind eye for the time being." Honda's face became a little solemn: "Our original plan was actually just to use these pirates as an excuse to take the opportunity to eliminate those people. However, the combat effectiveness of this unit of the Oda family is really amazing! Even if we secretly released water, they were able to break into the castle tower and kill the shogun directly! With such a terrible strength, it's better not to be an enemy for the time being! ”

"Are we going to spare these enemies who killed the general?" Yagyu Zongju's brow furrowed tightly.

"Yes." Honda said with a straight face, "The Tokugawa family needs time to repair, and they don't have the ability to hunt them down in person in a short period of time. And even if the family announced it to the world, nine times out of ten, the other daimyo would ignore them. After all, the Shimazu family in Kyushu, the Mori in the western country, and even the nine ghosts of the main island and the main family of Kanto have all fallen at their feet! ”

"Tsk." Yanagi Zongju couldn't help but pout, "Indeed, with such an amazing record, if no one took the lead in forming an alliance, those cunning daimyo would definitely not be stupid enough to be the first bird." What a damn one! I'd better lead the team to clean up those monsters. ”

Watching Yagyu Matsune stride away, Honda Masajun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Amitabha! After all, the Yanagi line is a guide to the art of war promoted by the general, and I am afraid that he is also very concerned about the general's death. Moreover, the Yanagi clan is a vein of ghosts, so they should also attach great importance to those monsters. Tianhai recited a Buddha name in a low voice, and then said with a smile.

"Master doesn't need to say much, I don't mean to target the Yanagi family." Honda Tadakatsu still squinted, "What I'm thinking about is ...... Even if you are loyal to Your Highness, there may be people who come into contact with monsters, so you have to think of a way to deal with it. ”

"Amitabha." The Great Monk of the Heavenly Sea was smiling and nodded.

On the other hand, the Panda Warrior Monk, who had successfully joined up with the Servant Koaki and the Rabbit, successfully broke out of Edo Castle when the Tokugawa family secretly released water. After meeting Elsa halfway, Roger finally regained his composure and quickly lifted his transformation state.

"Has it been delivered to Alice?" Roger asked Elsa in a low voice.

Aisha, who faintly felt that Roger was a little strange, raised her eyebrows, and then replied: "Yes, Her Majesty Alice has confirmed that the thing is intact." However, she managed to break through to the legendary realm in the battle with Akakaii, but she was also a little weak because of this, so she has now returned to the ship to rest. ”

"Well, it's good that people are okay." Roger shook his head, relieved.

Although Alice, who has the Demon Breaking Sword, can protect herself with the power of the Divine Sword even if she encounters a legendary powerhouse, and as Queen Gelaru, it is impossible for her to be without a life-saving hole card, but Roger is still somewhat worried about her safety.

After all, Alice's actual combat experience, especially the experience of fighting against strong people, is still a little less.

But just then, Roger received a message from Kerr.

"What do you say? The sea dragon is here again? Roger's face suddenly froze, and then he turned over and jumped off the rock element: "I'll go first, and you will also rush to the beach to protect the ship." ”

"Wait a minute! You better take me with you! Sakurahime, whose eyes were still red, suddenly waved her hand.

"Huh?" Roger frowned.

Looking at Roger's expression, Sakura suddenly pouted: "Don't forget, I saved you last time!" ”

"Okay, okay, wait a minute, but hurry up." Roger shook his head helplessly, and then turned into a golden-winged roc.

Entering the realm of legends, the size of the Golden-Winged Roc has shrunk a lot. If in the past, the Golden-winged Roc could carry five or six people on its back, now it can only carry one or two people.

But it's definitely more than enough to bring Sakurahime with you.

When Sakurahime climbed onto the back of the Golden-Winged Roc, the Golden-Winged Roc immediately flapped his wings, and the huge qi magic element immediately lifted his body, making him easily fly into the air. Immediately, the golden-winged roc flapped its wings again, turned into a golden light, and disappeared into the sky. (To be continued.) )
