In Sakurahime's tearful eyes, in addition to begging, she still begged.

However, through these begging eyes, Roger could see the deep resentment hidden in them.

Hatred is as deep as the sea!

Not only that, but it was mixed with hatred for mortal enemies, and lamentation of one's own powerlessness, mixed with the pain of losing one's parents, and a glimmer of hope in the face of despair.

What a complicated look......

Roger suddenly felt a lot of pressure! After all, this eye is staring at him closely.

However, it is not a trivial matter to attack a daimyo after all, and Roger is not the kind of person who will easily promise, so he immediately began to calculate in his mind how many chances he had of winning.

However, no matter how Roger calculated, the limitation of troops was always a big problem. Approaching the forces that might be gathered now, he really had no certainty of victory.

So under Sakurahime's gaze, in just a few breaths, Roger was already sweating profusely, sweating, and drenched in cold sweat.

Seeing that Roger had been silent, Sakurahime's tears suddenly flowed down her cheeks. And Roger, who saw this scene up close, immediately felt a tightness in his heart: he had already seen the death intent in Sakurahime's eyes!

"Okay, okay, isn't it just a big name in Yingzhou." Secretly sighing, Roger pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with a reluctant smile, "When we get the thing Alice needs, I'll help you get revenge, that's it, right?" ”

Sakurahime, whose eyes suddenly lit up, immediately grabbed Roger's arm tightly, but under the mixture of joy and sorrow, she was still choking twice from time to time, and she never could say a complete sentence, and finally she was even more sad. It was very simple, and he howled and cried in front of Roger.

The cry was so loud and the tears were so continuous that Roger was really in a hurry. After all, comforting people or something, this has never been Roger's strong point.

Sakurahime, who cried happily for two hours, completely vented the pain and sadness in her heart, slowly calmed down under Roger's clumsy comfort.

And look at the "bandage" on Roger's body that was wet with her tears, and because of being held tightly by her. As a result, the blood stains spread out from under the bandage again, and Sakurahime blushed and took out another set of sea animal skins of the same texture, and changed them for Roger very carefully. But this time, although there was still a touch of blush on her little face from time to time, Sakurahime would no longer hide it in front of Roger.

However, looking at the pretending natural Sakura in front of him, Roger's back was in a cold sweat, and the cold snort that suddenly came from the bottom of his heart immediately made him fall into an ice cellar.

He could already see the tragic future of breaking the countless washboards on his knees......

After dressing the wound again, Roger finally had time to discuss business with Sakurahime.

"This time we went to sea, and you also know the strength of our troops. Such a force is definitely not enough to defeat the old turtle of the Tokugawa family. Now that he has promised Sakurahime, Roger naturally began to calculate the strength of the enemy again, and tried to make a plan. However, the difference in strength between the enemy and me is really too big, which makes Roger scratch his head very much: "The top priority is to find an alchemy city as a foothold first, and then we can transfer troops from Emerald City." Even so, it was not enough to rely on the small number of troops that Emerald City and Alice now had. Do you have any great ideas? ”

"Although I am the heir of the White Sea Clan, the Mermaid Clan is not allowed to take the initiative to attack the Yingzhou Daimyo on land. So we shouldn't get much help in this regard, at most it's just a symbolic acquisition of one or two big whales. As soon as she got down to business, Sakurahime quickly regained her composure, even if it was only superficial.

"But ......" frowned slightly, Sakurahime glanced at Roger twice, and then said solemnly: "Although the current Oda family has been destroyed. However, due to the prestige left by my father during his lifetime, there are still quite a few people who are still willing to serve me. In addition to Sayuri Hattori and Akira Aki, who have been following me, there are several generals, nearly 10,000 elite alchemy warriors, and the ninjas of the Igara-ryu branch to which Sayuri belongs. Most of these people are still lurking in the territory of the Tokugawa family, collecting information about the Tokugawa family for me. These people can also be regarded as a help."

"This kind of strength is actually not weak, you can join other forces hostile to the Tokugawa family. Why did you come all the way to me? Hearing Sakurahime's words, Roger's brow couldn't help but twitch. He had a hunch that the strength of the Tokugawa family might be even stronger than he had estimated.

"No, this kind of strength is useless at all, the Tokugawa family has two legendary troops." Sakurahime shook her head helplessly, "In fact, the remaining so-called daimyo on the Yingzhou Islands is just because the turtle of the Tokugawa family has been cursed by the sea, so most of the time he has been recuperating in the city, so he has gained some respite. But even so, just those heroes and a legendary class of the Tokugawa family have completely overwhelmed the daimyo in other territories, so no one dares to accept such a remnant of my army at all. ”

"And His Majesty the Mercenary King of the Mercenary Kingdom and Her Majesty the Queen of the Elf Clan, after weighing the value of the Yingzhou materials I have, finally rejected my request." Sakurahime stroked her long golden hair, sighed and said, "For the Free Federation and the Elven Kingdom, for the sake of Yingzhou's various strategic resources, it is still possible to deal with a legendary class. But if you have to face two legendary classes in one go, it will be a bit more than worth the loss. Therefore, the two kings who put the national interests first put forward a proposal to exchange materials, equipment and troops for Yingzhou's strategic resources, but that didn't mean anything to me, so I politely declined. ”

The elf queen would make such a decision, Roger was not surprised, but the mercenary king, who seemed to be the kind of "brave and diligent" general, actually made such a political consideration, which surprised Roger.

Perhaps, the mercenary king who is now "entrusted" by Alice with a heavy burden. Unexpectedly, it was an old fox in the political field.

"Two super-rank...... Roger held his chin and thought, as long as it wasn't an overly strong super-level like the sea dragon, he could still deal with an ordinary super-rank. However, the figures of "Sea Dragon" and "Fishman Hero" suddenly flashed in his mind, which immediately made Roger's eyes light up.

"The three sea clans can't participate in the battle in Yingzhou, but the fish people can! Can we borrow the strength of the Fish-People? Roger asked very seriously. For this kind of thing, Sakurahime, who is a mermaid. Apparently there is enough to have a say.

"It's really hard to say." Sakurahime shook her head, "The Fish-Man Clan is the most complicated of the Sea Clan, and most of the Fish-Man warriors have no intelligence, and only rely on some predatory instincts to act. The few wise fishmen are also the ones who control a large number of fish-man warriors, and all of them are difficult to convince. ”

"It's just hard to convince, not unconvincing, isn't it? Haven't we all seen it, there are actually heroic generals of the Fish-Man Clan? Roger didn't give up on the idea, "Those wise fishmen." It should be tempting! And we don't need to control the fishmen directly, as long as we can get them on the battlefield. When they get to the battlefield, I have a way to make them honestly cannon fodder! ”

"In that case, you can give it a try." Sakurahime nodded slowly, "Wise fish-man nobles like the Tidemancer are very selfish guys. If it can make them feel profitable, they definitely won't care how many mid- and low-level fish-man warriors they have to sacrifice. ”

Roger nodded with satisfaction, if he could pull a batch of fishmen as cannon fodder. Then he successfully captured the next Yingzhou city and successfully gained a firm foothold on the Yingzhou Islands. This detachment of theirs has a three-tiered chance of defeating the daimyo of the Tokugawa family.

In addition, the collusion between the sea elves and the pirates of Yingzhou actually made Roger very concerned.

If the sea elves really united with the Tokugawa family, then they would have to face three super-level legendary troops, and among them, there was a sea dragon close to the demigod level, which was not an ordinary trouble.

I want to continue the discussion. Roger's body stiffened, and then he let out a muffled snort, which made Sakurahime very anxious.

Taking a deep breath, Roger violently spat out a mouthful of dark red blood. However, after spitting out the blood, Roger's face changed a lot.

"I'm fine. It just vomited blood. Roger waved his hand at Sakurahime, who was about to come over, "But this time the injury is not light, I'm afraid I need a period of recuperation, is this place safe?" ”

Seeing that Roger didn't seem to be telling a lie, Sakurahime suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded and said, "I came here in the name of the messenger of the White Sea Clan, and I passed the inspection through the Water God Mirror to disguise you as a male fishman. With the power of the Water God Mirror, the mermaid warriors who were in charge of checking your identity did not see through your identity, and with my obvious royal characteristics, the Blue Scale Clan here did not doubt our origins. And at that time, you were so badly injured, and the kind-hearted Queen of Blue Scales took in the two of us, so we were very safe for a short time. ”

"By the way, you close your eyes first." Speaking of this, Sakurahime suddenly made a request, which made Roger stunned for a moment.

However, seeing Sakurahime playing with her hair with some embarrassment, Roger obediently closed his eyes.

Then he felt a chill on his lips.

Roger, who opened his eyes in amazement, only saw Sakurahime's smooth and white back. Sakurahime whispered, "Don't get me wrong! When we kill the old turtle, I'll be your man!" Now, it's just for convenience, so I'll give you the blessing of the mermaid first! Don't think crooked! With this blessing, it's much easier for you to disguise yourself as a male mermaid next. ”

The blessings of the merfolk are very famous, and many sailors who have been shipwrecked when they go to sea have received this blessing, which can make the blessed person have the ability to move freely in the sea and the ability to breathe in the water.

To put it bluntly, this is like making terrestrial races such as humans or elves temporarily transform into sea tribes, which is a special blessing ability that only merfolk have.

Seeing that Sakurahime was so ashamed that his ears were red, Roger replied in a low voice, and now Roger really can't say that he doesn't really need this blessing.

As a druid, Roger has a way to move freely in the water, but now that the advantages have been taken over, there is absolutely no way to return it.

So Roger could only honestly accept this kindness.

Sakurahime, who had been sensing Roger's actions, was quietly relieved to see that Roger didn't suspect anything.

"Then, you have a good rest, I'm afraid you can't get used to eating the food of the mermaid clan, I will prepare some food for you to eat." As she spoke, Sakurahime swam quickly to the circular entrance. Without waiting for Roger to answer, she just swam out as if she were running away.

Roger, who always felt that something was not right, couldn't help but scratch his head, and then fell directly on the "bed" and fell asleep.

Sakurahime, who had swam out of the hole, turned around and closed the hole, and then reached out and stroked the circular pattern on her chest. This pattern looks like a tattoo.,It's actually a water mirror temporarily attached to Sakurahime.。 This, even if Sakurahime didn't say it, Roger had actually guessed it.

And Sakurahime, who temporarily stored her belongings in the mirror, calmed down a little when she felt the gentle magic fluctuations of the mirror.

In fact, the mermaid's blessing is not something that can be given so easily. Secretly, according to the tradition of the mermaid clan, it is a blessing that only the desired person can give!

At this point, in a short period of time, Sakurahime will definitely hide it from Roger. (To be continued.) )
