"The result?"

Roger looked at Tuna and the others who appeared from the teleportation array, and asked impatiently.

"Of course it's all going well!"

Wendy, who was floating at the front, held her head high very happily, patted Roger on the shoulder very old-fashioned and said, "It's rare for you to come up with such a good idea, just wait!" Soon you'll be able to see me and Qingluan on the battlefield! ”

"That's fine." Roger smiled and nodded, don't look at Wendy as a tsundere Lori, but in fact, her real age is likely to be much older than the entire history of the elf race, and she is still very reliable in doing things.

“…… Thank you! ”

Tuna, dressed in heavy armor, strode over, and directly bent down to make a big salute, and Roger could even hear the crunch of the armor on her body.

"Thank him for what? We're doing things for him! Wendy was upset and tried to pull Tuna up very hard.

However, compared to Tuna, Wendy's strength is too far behind. She was like a breeze blowing on a hill and an ant shaking a tree, she couldn't make Tuna move at all, so angry that her little face turned red, and finally Roger smiled and pulled Tuna up.

Rabbit and Kerr didn't pay attention to Wendy at all, it took the four of them a lot of effort to renovate the phoenix nest, and they hurried back, and they didn't have that time to rest at all. So now Rabbit and Kerr didn't even want to say anything, and seeing that Roger was very calm and said that everything was normal in the city now, they went straight back to the room to rest.

In fact, Wendy is also exhausted to death. However, unwilling to be discouraged in front of Roger, she ran to the garrison of the Air Elemental Legion and went around, and then returned to her room with a yawn. And as the strongest of the four elemental heroes. Tuna, on the other hand, was still full of energy, even though Roger persuaded her many times. She still seriously guarded Roger's side.

In this way, two days passed peacefully, and on the afternoon of the third day, Roger was commanding the troops with Sakurahime to build the alchemy city of the mermaid clan when he suddenly received a notice from Grannie.

"What do you say, there is a man who claims to be from Shikoku? Want to work with us? Roger and Sakurahime looked at each other, both looking at Granny in disbelief.

"Yes, he calls himself Masashige Yoshida, and he is quite tall and burly, but he is dressed as a doctor. But I can feel it. He's pretty good. Granny said very seriously, "Lord Alice can't confirm his identity, so I'm here to ask Her Highness Sakurahime." ”

"Yoshida Masashige, I've heard of this person!" Sakurahime frowned and said, "He is indeed a retainer of the Nagazong Ibu family of Shikoku. However, the governor of Changzong's family has been demoted to a commoner, and I'm not sure if he is really still a member of Changzong's family. ”

"That's enough." Roger shook his head, "We don't need to speculate here, we just need to meet that person and ask for clarification." ”

Sakurahime frowned. However, she nodded slowly, and then followed Granny with Roger to the castle tower.

Alice, Roger and the others are not the kind of people who pay attention to the living environment, so although the Yingzhou-style castle tower layout is not very in line with their wishes, Alice, who is here to handle government affairs for the time being, still does not change those arrangements. It's just that some tables and chairs were brought over from the ship.

I have to say that in this Yingzhou-style room, there is a set of fine wooden tables and chairs produced by the elves, which is really a bit weird.

The tall Yingzhou people who claimed to be Masashige Yoshida did not sit on those tables and chairs. Instead, he knelt on the tatami mat, which suddenly made him look a little shorter than Alice sitting behind the desk. However, Yoshida did not seem to feel any discomfort. Instead, he was carefully looking at all the arrangements in the castle tower.

"This inner castle is worthy of the residence of the Shimazu family, just by seeing these arrangements. You can imagine the former glory of the Shimazu family. Unfortunately, all of this is now in vain. Yoshida sighed slowly.

It's funny to say, it's been so long since Alice and Roger captured this city, and this is the first time I've heard of the real name of this city.

"Do you feel a little bit of empathy? Changzong of my family. Roger walked in somewhat casually and sat directly next to Alice, "But compared to your family, the Shimazu family still has the identity of a samurai family." ”

While speaking, Roger also looked carefully at the so-called Yoshida Masashige.

is completely different from the short stature of ordinary Yingzhou people, this Yoshida Masashige is quite tall and burly, and his height is even close to one meter nine, which is a little taller than Roger and Alice. And its arms are also unusually thick, just looking at the muscles, Roger can be sure that this thing must be an extremely powerful general.

But now this big man, who was supposed to be a fierce general and thus crisscross the battlefield, is indeed dressed as a doctor, and there is a small medicine box beside him. And when Roger passed by him, he did smell the medicinal fragrance on his body, and it was obvious that this was not a temporary dress.

Although Sakurahime followed Roger closely, she didn't sit next to Roger, but stood behind Roger like Tuna, but she had been keeping her head down, but she had already looked at Yoshida Masashige carefully, and then through the contract with Roger, she told Roger with certainty: "That's right, he is indeed Yoshida Masashige himself." Although I heard that he went to work as a doctor after being demoted to the master's house, I really didn't expect this to be true. ”

For Sakurahime, Masashige Yoshida's behavior is a bit strange: the murderous samurai actually runs away to become a doctor who saves people, isn't it as funny as a meat-eating wolf turned into a sheepdog.

Roger didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and the soldiers who left the battlefield would be more or less unaccustomed to a peaceful life. However, looking at Masashige Yoshida's appearance, it is obvious that he has really laid down his weapons and started to live a peaceful life.

This psychological quality alone is obviously very unusual.

In the face of Roger's sarcasm. Yoshida Masashige looked at Roger very seriously. The status of women in Yingzhou is not high, and there are only ones like Sakurahime who can win the allegiance of their retainers. So although Yoshida Masashige understands that Alice and Roger are not from Yingzhou, he still regards Roger as the real principal.

Present. He looked at Roger very seriously, and said slowly: "Please don't compare the current Shimazu family with my master's family!" The people of the Shimazu family have lost the dignity of the samurai, and although my master family has lost the identity of the samurai, he still retains the self-esteem of the samurai! ”

"That's right." Roger raised his eyebrows, "Then let's talk about it, you came to me, what do you want to cooperate with?" ”

Roger's single-handedness was a bit unexpected by Yoshida Masashige, but he immediately calmed down. He said very seriously: "Since you can defeat the Shimazu family and the Maori family, then your strength is beyond doubt, so on behalf of the Nagazong family, I hope to unite with your family and attack the Tokugawa family together!" ”

"Wait a minute, that fight with the Maori family, but we lost." Roger looked at Yoshida Masashige very seriously, "Compared with the Maori family, the strength of our army is still insufficient. ”

"No kidding. Excellency! Yoshida Masashige patted the tatami mats with some anger, "The Motoshi of the Maori family was defeated by your family, and even the Motoshi himself was injured!" And the Shimazu family's troops are even more demoralized, so there will be infighting after discovering that you are not pursuing. In the end, the coalition collapsed directly! Anyone who is smart will know that you have the last laugh! ”

I see, there was infighting, so it's no wonder that the combined forces of the Mori, Tokugawa, and Shimazu families did not come to attack us.

Roger thought to himself. But he said: "Even so, the Maori family is still not to be underestimated." We don't have the ability to cross the territory of the Western Kingdom. ”

"No, no, no, you don't have to worry about that. My governor is ready! The Tosa Navy will carry us to attack the Tokugawa family from the sea! Yoshida's originally tense face relaxed slightly, and he could see that Roger's attitude was not as hard as it had been at the beginning.

Roger's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam: "Changzong and my family have been demoted to civilians, can they still control a naval army?" ”

"Of course!" Yoshida Masashige's face had a touch of confidence, "My family is also a daimyo who once ruled the four countries, so naturally I will leave a little hole card." Now the Tosa Naval Army is all from my family! ”

"In that case, you just went to attack the Tokugawa family by yourself, why did you have to travel so far to come to us and pull us up?" The corners of Roger's mouth curled slightly.

"This and this." Yoshida Masashige suddenly looked a little embarrassed, "In the battle with the Tokugawa family, the generals in the family were killed or wounded, and only a few young generals like me remained. And the only one in the family who can dominate the overall situation is the only one left by the governor of the family. However, the Governor must be in the rear, so the leadership of a few of our young generals alone is not enough to fight against the Kumano Water Army. ”

"Kumano Naval Army, the Ironclad Army of the Sea established by the pirate daimyo." The corners of Roger's eyes jumped, "Because you think you don't have enough strength, that's why you came to us as reinforcements?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Yoshida Masashige nodded again and again, "If you want to attack the Tokugawa family, the Kumano Navy is a difficult hurdle that must be overcome, so I hope that our two families can unite and attack the Kumano Navy together." ”

"Don't the other trolls need to have any scruples? It seems that the power of my family is very strong. Roger said with a smile.

"Of course not." Yoshida Masashige hurriedly shook his head, "That old turtle of the Tokugawa family is a powerful character, except for the Kumano Navy with considerable merit and the Edo Navy under his own command, the other Navy armies have all been seriously weakened in the open and in the dark, and there is nothing to fear." Originally, there was actually a Fangjin Naval Army that could be regarded as a force, but hadn't they been wiped out by Your Excellency? So now there are only the Nine Ghost Clan's naval army under the command of the Toba Castle and the Edo Naval Army under the command of the Tokugawa family. ”

"I see! I don't have any other questions, so let's make a covenant like that. Roger and Yoshida Masashige looked at each other and smiled, but they were already secretly scolding in their hearts.

The degraded governor of the Nagasamune family should really want to make a comeback, but the Tokugawa family has always been a mountain pressing on his head, and there is almost no hope of overthrowing the Tokugawa family. Therefore, the governor of the Chosho family of my family estimated that he just wanted to defeat the Kumano water army, and then reoccupy Shikoku to become his soil emperor.

The Shikoku area, like Roger's current Kyushu and the northernmost Hokkaido, was regarded as a remote place by the people of Yingzhou, and the Shimazu family has always been ridiculed as the wild monkeys of Kyushu. If Roger really cooperated with the Chosamune family to defeat the Kumano Naval Army, it is estimated that the governor of the Chosamune and my family would rely on the Tosa Suizu Army to quickly conquer Shikoku, and then occupy the mountain as the king as his monkey king.

And the general of the Tokugawa family really doesn't necessarily have to deal with this monkey king, after all, if the governor of the Nagamune family recaptures Shikoku, the Tokugawa family, who lost the Kumano water army, will really lose more than worth the loss if they want to defeat Shikoku: after all, there is really nothing good in Shikoku.

When the time comes, as long as the governor of the Chozong family submits to the Tokugawa family in name, so that the face of the Tokugawa family's general can be passed, it is estimated that he will really be able to be his monkey king safely.

However, this is not without benefits for Roger.

If you want to attack the Tokugawa family from land, the route is too long. Yingzhou Island is full of mountains, and there are not many plains at all, and God knows how long it will take to fight from Kyushu all the way to Edo Castle in Kanto.

Roger didn't come to Yingzhou to conquer this island nation, it was completely worth the loss, he just wanted to kill the Tokugawa family's generals, and then retrieve the leaves of the World Tree.

In this way, it was naturally a good idea to attack the Tokugawa family from the sea. However, Alice's fleet was quite badly damaged, and even with the help of a blue-scaled dragon whale, it was definitely not enough to defeat the Tokugawa family's sailors, so although he had considered this path before, he finally gave up reluctantly.

However, Yoshida's proposal gave Roger some new ideas. Roger and Alice are not short of generals and soldiers, only ships! So Roger immediately set his sights on the ironclad ship of the Kumano Navy. Compared with the ships produced by the elves, the ironclad ships in Yingzhou are naturally not enough, but Roger just needs some ships to carry the troops, and the quality of the ships actually doesn't matter.

When the time comes, when Roger and the people of the Chozong family attack the Kumano Navy together, they can use the Tosa Navy as cannon fodder and occupy as many of the Kumano Navy's ironclad ships as possible! As long as there are enough ships, it doesn't matter at all whether the Tosa Navy is willing to attack the Edo Navy or not.

Yoshida Masashige smiled very honestly, Roger smiled very kindly, and the two signed a covenant that no one took seriously at all. (To be continued.) )
