Chapter 1 Dress him in the clothes of the enemy
Yayu Island. Rattan Hood. Recently, the soldiers of the Heavenly Command have achieved a phased victory in the confrontation between the Bayu Island and the rebels who defend the island, and then as long as they hold the island and steadily encroach on the territory of the island, the rebels will be able to take the rebels in the near future.
Oda's three-man squad is tasked with patrolling the beach area of Fujidou today to prevent the rebels from landing on the north coast and launching a surprise attack.
"There are people on the sea!" Oda, who had just been recruited into the Heavenly Domain and had been sent to fight on the front line after a few days of training, saw a figure floating on the sea, and immediately nervously clenched the spear in his hand.
His brother's arm was cut off during the last battle against the rebels on the island. The promised compensation will only be paid if he joins the army in place of his injured brother, and Oda, who has just come of age, looks at his seriously injured brother and young sister, and has to join the Heavenly Domain.
He didn't want to do anything, he just went back safely. Hearing Oda's shout, the other two quickly raised their spears and took two steps back.
Although they joined the Heavenly Domain Sect earlier than Oda, it was only a matter of a few months, and no one was ready for the jade shattering.
But the body on the surface of the sea didn't move, it just rose and fell with the waves, seeming... It's a corpse.
"Oda, go over and take a look!" Oda, as a newcomer, was naturally the first to be instructed to investigate.
Oda could only wade into the sea with a gun in his hand, and cautiously walked to the floating body.
Oda walked to the point where the sea had already overflowed his waist, only two meters away from the body, he had the courage to poke the body twice with the tip of the gun, but there was still no response, and Oda's hanging heart finally let go.
"Captain Kimura! It's like a corpse! ”
"Drag it up and see!" Hearing Oda say that it was a corpse, Kimura, an old fritter who had fought two battles with the rebels, moved his mind.
When Oda dragged the body ashore, the three of them gathered around and discussed.
"It's a shame that he looks young, but he doesn't look like a rebel... It's not like an Inazuma person..."
"But look at his looks... Could it be that someone from Liyue was smuggled here? ”
"I've only heard that Inazuma was smuggled out... Aren't the people of Liyue crazy enough to smuggle to Inazuma?! ”
"Could it be that Liyue's caravan ships have had some accident around the Inazuma Sea?"
"Then do you think there will be a caravan of goods drifting to the sea..."Speaking of this, Oda Meru looked enviously at the calm shore.
Since the closure of Inazuma, the value of those foreign goods has more than tenfold and has become a luxury that ordinary people cannot afford, let alone goods from countries like Liyue, which symbolize trade and wealth.
If there were a few boxes of goods from Liyue drifting to the shore, the three of them would share them and sell them casually, and they would all be able to exchange them for prosperity and wealth.
"That's it! The sea surface of Inazuma has long been blocked by the Shogun's thunder, and even if there is any goods, it has been cracked to ashes, and it is already a gift from the Shogun that this person can leave a whole corpse, so don't be whimsical! Kimura withdrew his gaze from sweeping over the sea, and persuaded Oda and the two of them to dispel the idea.
"That's right... And what to do with the body of this young man now? Oda looked at the corpse with some regret.
At a young age, he was buried in the sea. Although Oda himself is in danger, at least he is still alive and has a slim future to look forward to.
"Find a rebel dress to change into for him, and then bring it back to the military Cao adults to receive merit!" Kimura had already had this idea when he heard that there was a corpse floating on the sea.
"That's not good..."Oda felt that it was tragic enough for a Liyue man to die in a foreign land, and it would be too embarrassing to end up with another person who was dragged to the end of his military exploits without even a grave.
"What's so bad? He's all dead, do you know him? Does anyone know him? It is better to give full play to the surplus value, as our military merits in exchange for food Mora, to feed the family, it is better than just find a place to bury it. Kimura's words are reasonable, and it seems that this is not the first time that such a thing as mixing military merits has been done.
But he saw that Oda still looked unbearable, for fear that Oda would show some of his feet at that time, and patted Oda on the shoulder bitterly and persuaded him: "If you join the Heavenly Leader Mission, if you want to survive, you have to climb up desperately until you become an officer in the back command... If Oda doesn't take advantage of the current truce to make some military achievements to upgrade, the next time you start a war with the rebels, a newcomer like you will definitely be used as cannon fodder to order you to go to the front line to fight the rebels..."Kimura's realistic speech finally shattered the little morality in Oda's heart, and after some struggle, although he still felt sorry for this nameless Liyue man who died in Inazuma, he remained silent about Kimura's behavior after all.
After that, Kimura found a suit of rebel clothes from somewhere and changed into the nameless corpse.
As for the original clothes on the nameless corpse, they were hidden by Kimura under the pretext of destroying evidence.
He saw that the fabric of the suit was exquisite, and the dye had not faded after soaking in the sea water for a long time, which should be worth a lot.
Take it back and wash it up, and maybe sell it for some money. In this way, a nameless corpse drifting on the sea was brought back by the three-person team to the territory of the Heavenly Territory stationed on Bayu Island in exchange for military merit.
"How dare you send a scout to investigate!? Hang this corpse from the camp flagpole! Let these guys of the rebels know that the Heavenly Leader is not easy to mess with! "The retainer of the Kujo family, known as the Kujo no Blade, who was sitting in the camp here, was furious and gave the order when he learned of this.
As a result, the nameless corpse, posed as a rebel scout, was hung high in the camp of the Heavenly Leader, exposed to the scorching sun, to show the enemy's might.
...
"Heavenly Spirits! It's too much of a deception! The rebel scouts wandering around the island saw the tragic scene of their companion's corpse being hung in the camp, and they were all stunned, eager to rush into the camp of the Heavenly Leader and rescue the corpse of their humiliated comrade.
"Calm down, don't spoil the big picture. Follow the plan of Sangonomiya-sama and wait for the rainy night to come! At that time, it was time to settle accounts with the old and new hatreds pursued by the Heavenly Leader! "There are resistance soldiers who are good at forbearance, suppressing the anger of their colleagues, quietly waiting for the thunderstorm to come.
The rainstorm that would wash away the Rebel's previous defeat did not make the angry rebel soldiers wait long.
When dark clouds obscured the night sky of Yayu Island, and the dazzling thunder light pierced the sky, the rebels began their action.
Taking advantage of the heavy rain to greatly conceal their bodies and movements, the elite group of the rebels attacked the soldiers patrolling outside at night, changed into the clothes of the shogunate generals, and captured the ships that happened to deliver supplies today.
"Sangonomiya-sama is really like a god! Even the supplies of the shogunate army will arrive on this thunderstorm night! "According to the plan of this Lord of the Coral Palace, the rebels almost bloodlessly took down the supplies of the Heavenly Territory Envoy Army.
"Then it's time for the second phase of the plan..."After returning the resupplied ships to safety, the elite of the rebels looked at death as if they were at home.
"The method that Mr. Nathan said was to destroy the suppression of the shogunate and restore the dignity of my great god... If you don't go well, you will die for the great god, and if you go well, you will retreat with your whole body. You must not reveal your identity, and even the appearance of the gods, witches, and witches..."A loud drum burst out in the camp of the Heavenly Leader.
"Rebel Night Attack!" I don't know when the rebels have actually entered the camp.
All the generals and soldiers immediately got up and raised their weapons to meet the enemy in the torrential rain. The rebels who came to attack the camp were outnumbered, and in the blink of an eye, they were suppressed by the soldiers of the Heavenly Domain, and they scattered in all directions.
"Don't let anyone go! Give me chase! "Feeling that the Heavenly Leader pursued majesty, the provoking Takaha Izumi personally led the team to encircle and suppress the pursuit on a rainy night, giving the second wave of rebels who were not far away in ambush a chance to rush into the camp and rescue the bodies of their colleagues who were hanging from the flagpole.
Even if it was a dead man, it still could not tolerate the humiliation of the shogunate army. Halfway through the pursuit, the general Takaban and Izumi heard the sound of drums coming from the camp, and finally realized that he had been tricked to divert the tiger from the mountain, and was about to turn back to encircle and suppress, but heard two bad news.
First, the supplies sent tonight were looted by the rebels. The second is that the Narujin Rock Pillar on Yayu Island has just been destroyed by the rebels.
Gao Ban and Izumi, who were constantly being played, were so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood, but in the end he could only shout: "The whole army retreats!" Withdraw from Yachiyu Island! "The destruction of the Narukami Rock Pillar means that the gods who were suppressed underground by Raiden Shogun will be resurrected, and if the evacuation is too late, I am afraid that all the soldiers of the Heavenly Domain stationed here will die, and there is no room for delay.
Takaban and Izumi, who had withdrawn from Yayu Island, looked at the area of Yayu Island with thunderstorms and could not understand. The destruction of the Narukami Rock Pillar would indeed drive the Celestial Lord's army out of Yachiyu Island, but it would also have no hope of being possible for the rebels to take it.
Even if it reached the Shogun, who was furious and personally marched to the Shogun, the rebels on Haiji Island would be wiped out in the blink of an eye, so why would they take such a big risk to destroy the Narukami Rock Pillar?
Gao Ban and Izumi couldn't figure it out, so they could only report the matter first. However, some of the scenes where the shogunate army was played tonight were omitted, and the fact that the rebels destroyed the Narukami Rock Pillar and released the gods was extremely heinous.
...
"Gorou-sama! The operation was a big success! Not only did he seize the supplies of the shogunate army, but he also rescued the remains of his comrades! Goro, the rebel general who was in charge of the operation in Wuming, heard the report of his subordinates, and his clenched fists finally loosened.
"Prepare to meet the enemy, let the soldiers in charge of this operation retreat first! We will act according to the plan and lead the enemy into the urn, and do not fall in love with war! Gorou knew that the retainer of the Kujo family, Takaban and Izumi, who was sitting in this camp, was an impulsive character who would definitely be retribution, and he would definitely pursue him to the end after being played like this, and he was already ready to lead the other party into the ambush circle and win a big victory.
"Goro-sama... The shogunate army did not pursue, and all of them have withdrawn from Yatsushima..."
"What?! Gao Ban and Izumi were able to endure it this time, could it be that someone behind him was pointing out? Something went wrong, Gorou frowned, and took out a few tips from his arms to see what Sangonomiya-sama had to say about the current situation.
"Probably not... Goro-sama, the retreat of the shogunate seems to have something to do with the destruction of the town of Yatsushima..."The scout who spies on the military lowered his voice and quietly told Gorou the news.
"Destruction of the town?! How so! "Things went completely out of the way planned, and Gorou was completely confused.
Shogunate Army... How is it possible to destroy the town? Gorou had no idea that it could be the rebels who did the operation.
Everyone knows what will become of Yayu Island after the destruction of the town, and the previous battles were fierce, and everyone deliberately avoided the sealed town.
"Who knows? The shogunate army has occupied Yachiyu Island these days, and it may have been affected by the gods..."The scout in charge of spying obviously knew something, and deliberately poured dirty water on the heads of the shogunate army.
The destruction of the town's property was a decision they made privately. It must not affect the current gods and witches.
"It's come to this, let's retreat first, and go back to report to Lord Sangogong for the time being before making a decision." The stakes are so high that Gorou can't be the master, so he can only announce the withdrawal of troops.
It was supposed to be a surprise attack with a complete victory, but because of the destruction of the town, Gorou now has no joy of victory at all, only endless worries.
... At this point, the rebels, who had rescued the body hanging in the camp, surrounded the corpse and began a discussion about its identity.
"I remember this dress is from the Sailfish Ichiban team, Shida, do you know him?"
"Why can't I remember that there were such young soldiers in the Sailfish Ichiban team? Did you wear the wrong clothes? ”
"Young people who join the rebels are usually assigned to the Ray Band, right?"
"There's no way we're on the Ray team with this face..."
"Which team is this? Anyway, now that everyone is back, count them carefully, and count the brothers who have been determined to have died... This young man, how does it seem to be an extra one..."
"Did you secretly set off with the army?"
"No matter, I can only wait until I return to Haizhi Island and let the people from the other teams identify them one by one."
"It's a shame to die at such a young age... Alas... If it weren't for the Eye Hunting Order, he would have a bright future..."The identity of the corpse could not be discussed in the end, and everyone could only put a white cloth over the corpse and then lean down to rest.
In the middle of the night, a strange sound suddenly came from the ship. The crowd rose up to search, and finally found that the strange sound was coming from the corpse they had snatched from the camp.
There are many monsters in Inazuma, and everyone shuddered for a while, and finally Gorou heard the news and came over to lift the white cloth to check.
But at the moment when the white cloth was lifted, even Gorou's hair exploded all at once.
The corpse suddenly opened its eyes.
