Chapter 266: The Eve of the Great War
Thirty days passed in a flash, and under the deliberate suppression of Amaterasu Space, it was difficult for the Ming fleet to gain an overwhelming advantage. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The daimyo of the island nation have faintly formed a kind of alliance with the outside world. The explorers of Amaterasu Space did not try to persuade one by one, but issued an initiative to jointly resist the enemy through the Daimyo of Izumo Province, Niko, calling on all the daimyo and minions not to negotiate with Zhao Gao, and not to agree to any extortion conditions proposed by the Daming fleet, and the daimyo would also help the daimyo who were destroyed because of this to restore the country. Even families with feuds need to put aside their hatred for the time being and unite with the outside world, otherwise they will incur the joint revenge of all the daimyos.
In this way, the space that the Ming fleet could vacate immediately became smaller. Plundering the castle town can indeed collect some wealth, but it also needs to consume a lot of pirates, and the biggest problem of the Ming fleet is immediately exposed, that is, there is not enough troops to replenish!
Even if some soldiers can be recruited from the coast of the Ming Dynasty, these people cannot be directly pulled into the battlefield without professional training, and with the decrease in the number of Japanese pirates on the coast, the safety of the coastal people has been guaranteed, and there are not many people who are willing to join the fleet to eat the sword.
Therefore, even if the number of personnel lost in each battle was very small, the Ming fleet still could not accept such a kind of attrition. Moreover, with the help of Amaterasu space explorers, many soldiers in the castle were often able to join the battlefield in time. Their purpose was not to pursue, but only to kill a large number of them, and it was obvious that there were also wise men among the explorers of Amaterasu, and they quickly cut into the weakest link of the Ming fleet.
Behind all of this is inseparable from the shadow of Amaterasu, at least the explorers can quickly get in touch with the super daimyo of the Eleven Kingdoms of Sanyin and Sanyang, which is known as the "Yin and Yang One Taishou" of the Warring States period by later generations, and it is simply impossible without the invisible help of space.
In comparison, the help that Ark Space can provide is very limited. Most of them are confined to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, at most, they don't let the old guy's team have the constraints of the rear, and at this time the battles are all in Japan, and it is difficult to compete with the Amaterasu space, which has a local advantage, in terms of rules.
Intruders on the space battlefield often face this kind of problem.
The situation changed when the first wave of reinforcements arrived in Amaterasu Space, thirty days later. The first to bear the brunt was Mai Linglong: the Satsuma region ruled by her "cunning wolf of Hinata" was soon invaded, and several senior servants were wreaking havoc in her territory, specializing in hunting down the middle-level samurai she had cultivated with great difficulty, and once these people were killed too much, the combat effectiveness of her army immediately dropped by a large level.
Mai Linglong also tried to use her personal combat strength advantage to deal with it, and even successfully killed a servant of Amaterasu, but it was not of much use to turn the situation around. Especially the newly joined Amaterasu Space reinforcements, all of whom are senior duty officers, and their individual combat effectiveness may not be as good as Mai Linglong's, but it is not easy for her to kill independently.
In this case, the Ming fleet quickly invaded Mai Linglong's Satsuma City, which temporarily stopped this crazy behavior.
Because according to the rules that Nizi has established for a long time, before the Ming fleet is completely wiped out, the invaded daimyo's territory cannot be attacked by other daimyo. In this way, without the army as a supporting force, even if they defeat the soldiers under Mai Linglong's command one by one, it is not much meaning, and even Mai Linglong can ask Niko for strength to suppress this assassination - Mai Linglong is a branch of the Genji family approved by the emperor, with a reasonable bloodline and status, such a request, even Niko can not refuse.
Zhao Gao arranged Mai Linglong's idle son at the beginning of the task, and finally played its role at this time, that is, to use a reasonable identity to use the power of the plot characters that he can't rely on, such a double containment has won more time and space for Zhao Gao.
After being ambushed by several legendary ninjas, the Amaterasu space explorer was stunned. They really didn't understand why they were supposed to be on their own side to help the enemy, but several historical figures above the B level and many high-level plot characters quickly made them extinguish their hearts to kill Mai Linglong first. The problem is back to the beginning, that is, to find a way to block the Ming fleet, you only need to kill the Ming fleet, and Mai Linglong's territory will no longer be protected by the rules, and it will not be difficult to eliminate it at that time.
The two sides have returned to the initial stalemate.
Zhao Gao's Daming fleet has the power to choose the battlefield and battle time at any time, but the problem that has to be faced is that the participants in the Amaterasu space are collectively grouped, and if they fight head-on, they will not have an advantage at all; The explorers of Amaterasu Space are also depressed, obviously their own side has an advantage, but the other party just doesn't choose to fight with them, and they can't rush into the sea to fight tens of thousands of Japanese invaders, which is tantamount to looking for death.
Ten days later, the location chosen by the reinforcement explorers of the Ark Space was on the treasure ship of the Ming fleet. Among the explorers who came to help this time, the newly formed team of No. 76 unexpectedly appeared, and it can be regarded as having two old acquaintances.
No. 76 is still dressed as a British gentleman, and there is almost no difference from the first time Zhao Gao saw him, except that the kind and cruel old butler beside him is gone, that is, the scepter in his hand has become one size larger, and the place where the four gems were originally inlaid is occupied by a larger gem, and the equipment has obviously been improved again.
The pillar was replaced with a larger shield, large enough to almost enclose three people. His strength was outstanding, and he could carry such a huge shield without feeling the heaviness at all.
Seeing his eighth's eyes immediately lit up, and after careful questioning, he found that sure enough, the pillar can also forge life skills, and the level is far higher than the eighth's LV1, according to the pillar, his skills have been upgraded to derive the branch skill of weapon repair, which makes the old eight envious.
Life skills are no secret, the pillar was originally a blacksmith, and his life skills talent is "skilled", and manufacturing any equipment can reduce the time consumption by twenty percent, which almost makes Lao Ba drool.
The rest of the servants came over to ask Lao Ba about the plot, and they were all temporarily recruited. The Ark Space is more reliable this time, and it didn't fool the threshold people, and the last time it also sent a reserve duty, and the overall combat effectiveness was not too weak compared to the explorers of Amaterasu Space, of course, this was when the other party's pioneers did not participate in the war.
Having already received the mission, seeing the hint that a pioneer is about to join the battlefield, immediately eclipses these people. Everyone is not a rookie, for the pioneers, whether they know more or less, they all know that it is an existence that cannot be provoked, and they can't help but regret for a while that they are greedy for small profits to take this task.
"Where's the warrior?" No. 76 glanced around, and did not find Zhao Gao's figure, it stands to reason that as the commander of the fleet, he should be on this flagship, but in his perception, he really did not feel his existence.
"Get ready to fight!" Instead of answering No. 76's question, the eighth grinned and pointed ahead.
