Through the Misty Forest, the Plains of the Sea of Grass, and the Sea of Chaos, Lucius unconsciously reveals his powerful insight and deep scheming.

It can be said that the current Lecius will make use of almost everyone around him and everything around him, and he has already understood every aspect of his opponent without the inadvertentness of others.

Perhaps in the eyes of the three Fuso ronin leaders, the daimyo was so powerful that although they coveted each other's positions, they never chose to make a move, but kept turning the strength in their hands into zero, pretending to be a ronin and secretly operating in the territory of the other party's domain.

However, Russiuston's various clues, as well as the mechanical warriors he dispatched, and the use of Shirou's investigation of his worship boy, almost figured out the three ronin leaders and the daimyo of the feudal town.

"That daimyo does have some strength, according to the news brought back by the mechanical scouts sent by Belluti, the other party controls a large area of land and towns in the southeast corner of Fuso Honshu Island, including this seaside village, it can be said that on the surface, the other party is indeed extraordinary. ”

"Come to think of it, this is also the reason why Oda Nobumitsu and Soga Inamome and the two of them have turned their samurai into pieces and disguised as ronins lurking here, if they go head-to-head, it is obvious that the forces in their hands are not enough to overthrow that daimyo, and it is even more impossible to seize the other party's domain and status. ”

Hearing Lucius say this, Caroline asked with some puzzlement: "Since the other side is strong, will we be able to seize his domain and status if we go?"

Seeing that Caroline seemed to be a little worried, Lucius smiled and comforted: "Hehe, you don't have to worry, I just said that on the surface, the daimyo is strong and strong, pay attention, I am talking about 'on the surface'." ”

At the signal of Lucius, Beluti continued, "Actually. According to the news brought back by the mechanical scout, that daimyo should be a hereditary daimyō, somewhat similar to the hereditary nobles in the West, and the head of the family of this generation is a gentleman, so his retainers are very dissatisfied with his rule. ”

Du Liniang looked at Beludi with some consternation, and said incredulously: "In just one day, can you find out so much news?"

Lucius understood Du Liniang's worries and explained for Belloti: "Auntie, you don't have to worry, it's the mechanical scouts who are being sent. They are specially used for reconnaissance, and this territory is not very large, so it is natural that the news can be transmitted quickly. ”

Then Lucius saw that everyone was still surprised, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be so surprised, they can only be used for reconnaissance, not for combat, and since they are only for reconnaissance, they must have a mechanical demon spirit as their host, this group of mechanical scouts." It's Belletti's. ”

Du Liniang immediately understood something when she heard this, so she looked at Beludi and said, "That's why you asked us to bring Berudi with us?"

Lucius nodded and said, "That's one of the reasons. ”

"Oh, what's the reason?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him suspiciously, Lucius said calmly, "Another reason is that Beludi can command those mechanical warriors very well. Problems with the Mechanical Warrior can be avoided. ”

"Is there something wrong with those mechanical warriors?" said Caroline, who was immediately worried.

Belletti quickly explained, "Because some mechanical warriors are still in the promotion stage and are gradually advancing in the direction of mechs, there may be some minor problems in the battle, but you don't have to worry. With me, even if those mechanical warriors are promoted, they won't delay the attack. ”

I heard Belletti say that. Caroline relieved herself and said with some spirit, "In that case, when are we leaving?"

Seeing that Caroline was eager to make a move, Du Liniang quickly stopped her and said, "Don't worry, there are still some things to deal with now, and we can't rush into action." ”

Hearing this, Lucius waved his hand and said: "No, auntie, now is actually the best time to attack, to fight a time gap with those troops attacking the village, at this time a sudden attack, the other party will definitely not think that your sudden attack will definitely be able to receive unexpected results." ”

Du Liniang suddenly realized something, looked at Lucius in surprise and said, "By the way, if you don't say it, I almost forgot, now there is an army of 1,000 people, attacking the village, isn't it dangerous for you to stay in the village alone?"

Lucius said indifferently: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, I can hide in the village, my goal alone will be very small, I believe that no one will find out." ”

Du Liniang's brows were tightly locked, obviously still uneasy, and she was silent for a moment and said: "No, I don't think I can leave you here alone, that will be very dangerous, if that army does not find us here, it may be angry with the other people in the village, and you will also be very dangerous at that time." ”

Caroline also spoke: "Yes, Auntie is right, it is too dangerous for you to stay alone, in case they want to attack the village, how can you escape?"

Qi Li'er, who had been suppressed by Caroline before and had not spoken again, also said at this time: "Yes, those people from Fusang Country, no one knows what their temperament is, it is too dangerous for you to stay." ”

Then, almost all of them objected, thinking that it would be dangerous for Lucius to stay alone, and did not agree with Lucius to stay alone in the village, but no matter how much everyone persuaded him, Lucius was always determined to stay, and he had obviously made up his mind.

In the end, Shirou, who was listening quietly, couldn't help but want to say something, but was stopped by Lucius's gaze, and Shirou could only lower his head and suppress the words that came to his mouth.

Lucius smiled and said to everyone: "Okay, don't do this, I don't want to fight with those troops, disguise myself as Fusang, I believe they will not be angry with the village." ”

Du Liniang said coldly: "However, you said before that there may be an inner line of the daimyo in the village, if those troops come and contact the inner line, wouldn't it be easy to find you? In this case, you will definitely not be able to stay, and you must leave with us." ”

Lu Sius didn't expect that Du Liniang was actually waiting for him here, he said to Du Liniang: "Hehe, auntie, things are not as complicated as you think, even if there is an insider, seeing that you are all leaving, how would you think that I would stay? ”

Speaking of this, Lucius suddenly remembered something, and said calmly: "Moreover, I can contact the battleship and ask Augustine to send some more mechanical warriors over." ”

Hearing Lucius say this, everyone finally relaxed for a while, and then discussed some details and analyzed some pros and cons of this attack.

Du Liniang finally instructed Lucius: "You must be careful, let Ogufodin send some robots, don't be reckless alone, if you really can't do it, run away quickly, go to us, I believe that with your kid's strength, you should be able to escape smoothly." ”

"Hahaha......" Lucius laughed when he heard this, and said: "Auntie, you know me, don't worry, if I see that the situation is not good, I will run away as soon as possible." ”

Seeing Du Liniang and them leave, Lucius knelt alone in the shrine, and suddenly said to the door for a long time: "Su I Daomu, since you are here, come in." ”

Then the door of the shrine was pushed open, and Soga Inamome cautiously bowed in, knelt in front of Lucius and bowed, burying his head on the ground, as if he wanted to say something to Lucius, but he didn't speak immediately, as if he was thinking about how to speak.

Lecius quickly preemptively asked, "Tell me, what do you think?" I think you didn't come here just to kowtow to me, right?"

When Su Daomu heard this, he no longer hesitated, and whispered to Lucius: "Lord, Su is very clear about my current situation, I am no longer competitive in competing for the position of the Daimyo, so Su I want to ask the Lord to help me." ”

Lucius grinned when he heard this, and looked at Soga Inami, who was kneeling in front of him, with his head buried on the ground, and thought of the high-spirited samurai before, the ronin leader who could drink Oda Nobumitsu and compete for power, but now he was wagging his tail like a dog in front of him and begging for mercy.

There was silence for a moment before Lucius spoke, "You should know very well that I won't be able to help you alone, so you can go back now." ”

Su I Daomu was taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and continued: "Lord, if yes, if so, Su and I are willing to give up fighting for the position of the great name?"

"Oh?" said Lucius, pretending to be surprised, "Do you really want to give up? That's what you and Oda Nobumitsu dreamed of, and you just gave up?" You know, in fact, you are only going to assist my warriors, as long as you do it properly, you still have a chance to get the position of Daimyo." ”

Su I Daome hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but finally gritted his teeth and insisted: "Yes, Su I am willing to give up the competition for the position of the Daimyo, and only ask the Lord to give me strength." ”

Lucius could feel Soga Inamo's thirst for power, and it was obvious that he only wanted to get enough power now, even if it was a heavy price, he didn't care anymore.

In fact, when Lucius subdued him, he had already thought about how to use him, as early as when he saw those iron orcs in the Grass Sea Plain, Lucius came up with the idea of transforming flesh and blood into machines, and this idea was also tried by the original creators.

It's just that the creators don't seem to succeed in the end, and the information left behind is limited, and no one has tried that kind of transformation again.

When he was in the Grass Sea Plain, Lucius had thought about trying, but he never got the right opportunity, and now he was in the east, and he was destined to collide with the descendant of the King of Hearts. (To be continued......)
