Chapter 29: Precursors

It was so hot and humid, there was not a hint of cool breeze.

Time passed slowly, and Mu Xiu, who had been walking around outside the black and straight curtain of the general general, had a slight hint of anxiety between his eyebrows. Waiting was the most annoying, and for the first time he felt that time had passed too quickly and too slowly.

I don't know when, but the wind rose, and it grew stronger, and from the fallen grass and the branches and leaves of the trees in all directions, it was enough to know the momentum of the wind. But the sound of the rain has not yet arrived, but the wind is getting louder and more manic.

About a quarter of an hour later, the originally cloudless clear sky was covered by dark clouds in a blink of an eye, and soon the heavy rain was mixed with the thunder through the gaps in the dark clouds, and it fell directly.

- It's coming!

Mu Xiu, who had been paying close attention to the changes in the weather, paused and stopped his meaningless circles, his eyes instantly became solemn, and his slender and powerful five fingers also caught the handle scroll of Hasebe Kunishige on his waist.

He didn't know if the Oda Army had arrived, but since the mission of the "Lord God" was arranged in this way, it was bound to happen, and he was just unsure of the exact time and the difference from the original plot.

However, if it is most likely, it is probably the period from this moment until the end of the rainstorm.

Mu Xiu glanced around, for ordinary people, the oncoming dense raindrops hitting their faces made it painful, and at the same time, it also caused them to almost lose sight of the road ahead. The sound of the wind was mixed with thunder, and the rain curtain became heavier and heavier, and the wind swept the raindrops the size of beans like whips, and pumped them to the ground fiercely.

But his vision clearly passed through the rain curtain and captured the scene around the formation, although it was blurry and hazy in the distance, but it was enough for him to see what was happening at the moment:

I saw that the mountains turned into mud in an instant, the branches and leaves of the trees crackled in the rain, and the weeds everywhere were overwhelmed and could no longer straighten up. Many soldiers also took off their armor and spears during the thunderstorm and hid in the woods to avoid the rain.

"This rabble, what is the reason for them not to die on the battlefield......" With a helpless sigh, Mu Xiu strode without hesitation and walked through the dense rain curtain towards the opposite side.

Soon, a series of noises could be heard clearly in the woods around the formation, even in the midst of the violent wind and rain.

And the change of voice is very regular, first angry scolding, then reprimanding, and finally unanimously turning into screams of pain and busy begging for mercy.

The soldiers who ran out to shelter from the rain were all found by the young man accurately and efficiently, and driven out of the mountains and forests. And looking at them rolling and crawling, running out at a speed faster than running in to avoid the rain, you can see how eager they are to return to work.

The process is very simple, and the solution is a little rough -

If it was Mu Xiu's own soldiers, there was no need to be reasonable at all, as long as he found the other party, he would obediently and automatically walk out and return to his original post. When the leaders of the ashigaru group saw their boss's indifferent face, they even took the initiative to run into the mountains and forests in fear, and rudely drove back the ashigaru under their jurisdiction.

As for the other ones that are not under Mu Xiu's control, it is more troublesome.

It's better to say that as long as the teenager walks over or glares at him with an indifferent gaze, they will automatically come out, pick up the armor and weapons they have thrown down, and re-enter the soldier mode.

But some of the unruly, or other Ashigaru generals are more troublesome, they may really not be convinced, maybe because they feel a little tougher in front of their own men, so they will generally raise the bar. Mu Xiu also understood this very well, but he still stepped forward directly and the knife was not out of the sheath, so he hit and slashed the first few to the ground.

Usually he is still very talkative, but now in such a critical situation, he has little interest in how to protect the human rights of the indigenous people in the Warring States period.

Although he knew that the soldiers of any country in ancient times were actually just a rabble compared to the modern concept of soldiers, and there were very few real elites, what was happening now still made him feel helpless and a headache.

- Just because of the sudden heavy rain, you just threw down your armor and weapons and went to the nearby mountains and forests to take shelter from the rain?

It is no wonder that in history, the main camp of 5,000 people was overthrown by 3,000 people of the Oda army.

Although there is a big deviation between the plot line of this world and the historical line of my own cognition, and many details are different, if you let it develop, I am afraid that the final result will be the same.

Because Imagawa Yoshimoto was full of confidence, he basically invaded the territory of the Oda family in an all-out way, and wanted to raid the entire territory of Owari in one go. And after Mu Xiu could initially trust him, she saw the young man's extremely ferocious iron swordsmanship, so she actually relieved herself to send Matsui Sonobu and many other generals out to fight in the form of an independent legion.

Of course, for the sake of insurance, she still left Matsudaira Motoyasu and the ninja Hattori Hanzo to ensure that Mu Xiu, a person with murderous swordsmanship, could play a protective role by her side, and at the same time, she would not suddenly become evil and have a "lower restraint" or something.

Therefore, although Mu Xiu's behavior is said to have crossed the line a little, it is not very serious.

After all, there is no officer in this formation who can stabilize him, and since this is the case, he will naturally have no psychological burden when he starts.

Besides, these guys dare to do it on the battlefield when it rains now, so if nothing changes in the future, it is estimated that it will be just a "death" word.

With such a lofty idea as "I'm saving their lives", Mu Xiu used the scabbard to pull people up, and he was not soft at all.

No matter how unconvinced the big-headed soldier was, he was knocked to the ground three or four times in succession, and after trying the amazing power that even a horse seemed to be able to whip, and after experiencing the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, he had to swallow his anger and hatred, and got up and crawled out of the woods.

Even if the last part is particularly bloody, it will be dispelled by Matsudaira Motoyasu, who has just rushed over, to dispel the desire to fight hard. And when Matsudaira Motoyasu, who can represent the opinion of the lord to some extent, appears, the next thing goes a lot smoother.

Just like when you first started to shelter from the rain, as long as someone took the lead, they swarmed over, and the same herd mentality still applies at this time. After all, not everyone needs to be beaten to know what to do, and when they see others being beaten, they all return to their own formation, as long as they are not particularly dead-eyed, they know what they should do when they think about it with their navel eyes.

Soon, the camp was reorganized.

……

……

"Your Excellency Mu Xiu, I don't think it's wise for you to do this......" Matsudaira Motoyasu, a petite girl, didn't have anything special to do, just stood next to the young man, and the two of them were drenched in the rain together, and they were already soaking wet.

Seeing the soldiers running back to their main camp to get drenched in the rain, her expression seemed a little far-fetched, and there was a little more hidden scheming in her smile.

"I don't think I've done anything wrong, but they are like this, in case the enemy attacks, it is impossible to quickly gather troops to resist, do you think such an empty formation, how many strange soldiers do you need to be able to take down? Fifty or a hundred? ”

Mu Xiu was now drenched in permeability, but he looked expressionless and calm, as if his eyes were about to penetrate the rain curtain that was so dense that people couldn't open their eyes that they could not open it, and saw some enemy hidden at the end of the road.

Matsudaira Motoyasu stood two steps away, and she couldn't see the expression on his face as if he was facing a great enemy, she just said with a bitter face: "If someone really comes to attack, your move will naturally be a great credit, but if not-Your Excellency Mu Xiu, you are equivalent to driving them out to get drenched in the rain, even if Lord Yoshimoto-sama will think that you are doing the right thing, but others are ......"

She didn't say any more, but the meaning was self-explanatory.

“……”

Mu Xiu was just silent about this, and did not say anything. His spirit was now highly condensed, and a vague premonition seemed to be becoming clearer and stronger.

He doesn't have much special feelings about Imagawa Yoshimoto at the moment, it's just that he wants to use the huge power of the Imagawa clan, a famous Suruga family behind the other party, to test whether he can awaken the qualification of "overlord color" by becoming a human being, and then awakening the qualification of "overlord color" - human superiority or something, it is only possible in this era of strict feudal hierarchy.

At least he didn't think that after his exchange time was over, he would be able to awaken himself to the king qualification of standing on the human side by going back to become the vice president of the student union of the White Emperor Academy. You must know that modern society is at least a world where everyone is equal in words and on the surface, and even a few countries that still retain elements such as monarchs and royalty are only symbolic.

And then there's the side quest that the Lord God posted.

Four thousand five hundred bonus points is not too much for him now, but the two C-level side plots cannot be ignored. Whether he wants to continue to make up the price of the second B-level advanced ability, or he wants to push the electromagnetic manipulation ability to the level of Level 5 in one go, the side plot is the most important shackle.

Therefore, Mu Xiu made up his mind to complete this task no matter what.

As for the Lord of the Nation who has not adopted his opinion and insisted on going his own way, he doesn't have many other emotions, because he puts his position and mentality, and most importantly, he is currently positioning himself very correctly.

The peace of mind that is taken for granted is nothing but an inexplicable sense of superiority. He is not so arrogant that he feels that as soon as he speaks, others should unconditionally trust everything he says, and he will not feel that his proposal has been refuted, that is, the other party looks down on him, does not trust him, etc......

However, isn't this very normal?

It's just that many people don't have the habit of empathy, and they have never been able to understand the necessity of empathy, so they will always feel that everything is taken for granted-

What do you think they should think, what do I think they have to do, you rightly "think" so, I rightly "think" so...... But he didn't take into account that the other party is also a living person, and he also has his own calculations and opinions, why do you easily believe you?

An ordinary person would question, let alone the head of a country.

So it's not that you know in advance some secret information that can't be made public, so you can make choices and decisions for others, and this is simply a privilege for others to be gifted by God. If someone refuses their request, they will immediately be able to accuse them with a tough attitude.

Probably only when a person has less confidence in himself, the easier it is to cling to those insignificant bottom lines, and to show his strong self-esteem everywhere. This self-absorbed self-esteem is nothing more than a fragile self-aggrandizement built on insecurity.

In Mu Xiu's view, human energy is limited. I am doing a job now, and there is no necessary connection between what the employer thinks and what I should do.
