Chapter 10 Encirclement and Reinforcement

After most of the rebels went to the front, there were almost no old men, women, and children left on Hai Island. The young and middle-aged men you can still see are basically recruits like Teppei, who have no combat effectiveness, or wounded people like Anping who are recuperating on the island.

In order to fight against the shogunate army, the island of Kaiji has almost been called a soldier for all people. Every day, old people lose their sons, children lose their fathers, women lose their husbands, and the atmosphere on Haizhi Island is gloomy.

No one knows when this war will end, and no one knows whether victory will be achieved in the end.

As the fighting on the front line of Yayu Island is getting more and more stalemate, the residents of Haizhi Island, who have recently lost a large number of laborers, have fallen to the point of not having enough to eat.

Anping had to take Zheping out to sea every day to catch electricity, barely ensuring the daily diet of the islanders.

If it continues to develop at this rate, it is only a matter of time before the rebels are dragged down. Of course, this is not a problem that Anping should worry about.

Sangonomiya Kokomi will only be more anxious than him.

"Mrs. Peach, your hairstyle looks dangerous... It's better not to comb the ends of your hair to the front like this..."Anping will also tease the villagers like this when he gives them fish.

"Really? But I've always combed it like this..."

"In my hometown, it's common misfortune for a married woman to wear her hair like this... So Mrs. Peach, it's better for you to change it. The young wife, whose husband went to the battlefield within two years of marriage, believed Anping's words and quickly brushed the hair on the side of her shoulder back from her head.

"Then Anping, do you think this is okay?" Mrs. Peach, who was combed in a ponytail to the back, suddenly became much younger, and she had a little less of the taste of a wife.

“... Yes. Anping regretted a little, he shouldn't have teased her. Anping and Zheping carried a basket of fish, and sent them over one by one, and when the children saw Anping coming, they would always run out to Anping to ask for candy to eat.

Since the war began, children have hardly eaten candy as a snack. In the eyes of the children, their Anping brother is an omnipotent existence than the current god witch Lady Sangonomiya.

If you make a wish to him, candy will be fine.

"Okay, okay, after a while, my brother will find a way to bring you some candy back to eat." For the innocent wishes of children, Anping has never refused.

It's just that there is nothing to be done on Haizhi Island. The land eroded by the sea water, Anping can't even find a sweet flower.

"Brother Anping... I miss my dad...", but naïve wishes never mean simple.

Faced with the child's immature and fragile hopes, Anping was always speechless, and could only rub their heads silently.

The fighting on the front lines is becoming more and more tense. Even if the rebels have an absolute geographical advantage and can not be affected by the gods on Yayu Island, it will be difficult to compete with the shogunate army after all.

After all, in terms of equipment, personnel quality, the number of Vision owners, and logistics and supplies, the rebels are at an absolute disadvantage.

In the past, when the shogunate army occupied Yachiyu Island, the rebels were able to achieve a certain victory in a small friction by relying on Kokomi's clever strategy.

But now that the offense and defense are exchanged, the rebels must withstand the onslaught of the shogunate army in the face if they want to establish a strong foothold on Yachiyu Island.

The Shogunate was not stupid enough to allow the rebels to easily seize a strategic base. There was a god on the island, so the shogunate army directly bypassed from the sea and went straight to the island.

The rebels resisted stubbornly at sea, and the shogunate tried their best to eliminate or avoid the influence of the gods and attack the rebels' strongholds.

All of a sudden, the rebels, who were already numerically inferior, rushed back and forth, and it was difficult to take care of them. Fortunately, there is also a natural barrier of the gods, otherwise this time Kokomi decided to go all out to take the island of Yachi, I am afraid that the entire resistance army will be buried.

But Xinhai can't delay any longer, and if he doesn't take Bayu Island to expand land supplies, the rebels who are besieged on Haiji Island are still dying slowly.

In order for the rebels to gain a foothold on the island, they must completely eliminate the threat from either side of the sea or land.

Only then will it be possible for the all-out rebels to defend the island. Recently, Kokomi has been deducing from the sand table in the Coral Palace, trying to find a solution to the resistance army's troubles.

But in the stronghold of the rebels on Yayu Island, someone has already thought of a way before Xinhai.

"Mr. Nathan, are you telling the truth?" During the night, Nathan assembled several elite members of the rebel army to organize a sneak attack on the shogunate army.

"Of course, according to the scout tip, the reason why the samurai of the shogunate army were able to eliminate the influence of the gods and sneak attack the camp was because they went to the Narukami Taisha to ask for a town item from the Yae Miyaji. Relying on this artifact, the shogunate army also established a den on the island of Hachiyu, and after each attack on the camp, they returned to the town, and the influence of the gods was naturally eliminated. Therefore, our action is to destroy this town, so that the camp does not need to worry about the sneak attack from the shogunate army, and can go all out to deal with the shogunate army at sea. Nathan, a man of ambition who had come from Mondstadt to join the Shogunate, shared the important information he had received, and the action was immediately unanimously approved.

"Then should you inform General Goro of this matter first? Wouldn't it be bad for us to act in private? "Some of the players raised questions.

"Don't worry, I've already told General Gorou about this matter, and General Gorou said that he wanted to return to Lord Sangonomiya and wait for Lord Sangonomiya's opinion, but the battlefield is ever-changing, and once the shogunate army moves its den, it will be more difficult to find them next time, and during this period, I don't know how many brothers' lives will be lost... Don't worry, I will accompany you on this operation, and I will take all the responsibility. Nathan's words were not unreasonable, and after some discussion, the sneak attack was quickly decided.

... Recently, Anping had run out of electricity for fish in the nearby waters, and he and Zheping had to row a boat farther away to continue the electric fishing to ensure that the residents of the island would not go hungry.

Some time ago, Anping, who was irritated by the electric fish electricity in the offshore area, was about to help the rebels end this battle.

Until he saw the huge skull in the rain on Yayu Island. An Ping's restless heart calmed down instantly.

Especially after confirming with Tetsuhei that it was the head of the great god of the sea. According to Tetsuhei, Raiden Shogun's sword not only cut the sea god in two, but even the island of Yayu was cracked open together, forming a canyon, which is known as the Thoughtless Blade.

Looking at that skull, An Ping's heart has never been so peaceful and quiet. It strengthened his determination that he would never participate in the battle between the rebels and the shogunate.

Anping felt that most of his body still didn't have an island and a demon god hard, and with the thunder god stabbing down, he might not even have scum left.

"Do you think Sister Lingling is in danger on the front line?" Tetsuhei looked at the rain-covered Yayu Island and began to worry about Reiki Kinno.

"Don't worry, she's fine, the doctor won't be involved in the battle on the front line, there will be someone to protect her in the camp..."

"But won't the shogunate army launch a sneak attack on the camp, what if Sister Lingling is injured..."Although Teppei has been scolded by Nishikino Rei, Teppei still admires this doctor who lives on Narujin Island and is willing to help the rebels for free.

"If it hurts, she's also a doctor, and she'll treat herself... Why are you stunned? Hurry up and catch the fish that floats up! Anping gave Lingling a tip, as long as Lingling didn't lose consciousness directly in an instant, she could open the bag to ensure that her life was worry-free.

So Anping wasn't very worried about Lingling.

"Sister Lingling is so good to you?! You're not worried about her at all?! What Zheping has always wondered about is why Anping is obviously younger than him, but he can directly call Sister Lingling by her name.

But if he dared to call Lingling directly, he would be scolded by Sister Lingling.

"Nothing to worry about... Do you know water astrology? It was the world's greatest astrologer, Ms. Mona, who taught me water astrology, and I have already done divination for Lingling, and she will definitely be safe..."Anping didn't want to publicize that he had given Lingling a life-saving tip.

As long as I tell Teppei, there is no surprise that from tomorrow onwards, he will definitely be reduced to a tool to make life-saving tips for the rebels.

In that case, it would be better to destroy the shogunate army for them. That thing is not so convenient that Anping can rub it out casually.

"Really? Would you like to help me divinate and see if I have the possibility of gaining the Vision and becoming a strong man in the future? Although Zheping had never heard of Ms. Mona's name, he couldn't help but ask him about his future when he saw Anping's sinister look.

An Ping looked at Teppei expressionlessly. None of this requires divination. People who can't even practice swords for a few days have absolutely no chance of becoming a strong man.

"It's absolutely impossible, you'd better die of this heart, don't think about going to the front line, just stay in the village and pick up water for the old people, you can't even be cannon fodder on the front line like you." Anping was outspoken, wanting to dispel Teppei's daily desire to go to the front line to fight.

Although Zheping's heart and willpower are a little worse, he is really a very good friend, and he doesn't want to watch Zheping go to death.

Teppei was silent for a long time.

"Anyway, you're so strong, why don't you want to go to the front line to help the rebels fight? If you were there, at least the rebels' brothers wouldn't have suffered so heavy casualties..."After the silence, Teppei looked at An Ping and asked the doubts he had been thinking about all along.

Zheping even felt a little dissatisfied with An Ping, who could only go out to sea to fish. Recently, the casualties of the rebels have obviously increased, and he can't help but want to ask An Ping this question for a long time.

The so-called injury, Teppei has the same idea as most of the rebel soldiers. That was just an excuse for Reiki Nishikino not to let Anhei go to the front line to fight.

How can any wounded person easily carry hundreds of catties of fish back to the village at a time! If these are all wounded, then isn't he a cripple?

"Alas... You're still too naïve..."An Ping shook his head.

"Guess why Kokomi didn't let me go to the front?"

"How dare you call Sangomiya-sama by his name?!" Zheping looked at Anping in horror, he was getting more and more bold!

"Ahh Your Sangonomiya-sama agrees with you, what do you think? An Ping looked at the fussing Zheping with disdain.

A few days ago, he would be called by Xinhai every day to help deduce the tactics of Bayu Island, and he had long been used to Xinhai Xinhai's calling.

"What!?" Teppei was incredulous.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter, have you ever wondered what the consequences of me going to war will be?" Anping didn't want to worry about these with Zheping, but he just called it a name.

If Teppei knew that he had punched Kokomi unconscious before, Teppei wouldn't have given him two stabs on the spot.

"What can be the consequences?" Teppei couldn't have imagined.

"The rebels are just a small fight in the eyes of Raiden Shogun, so she can tolerate it. Once a combat force like mine appears on the battlefield, although the shogunate army will definitely be defeated in a short time, it will definitely alarm the Raiden Shogun, and when the Raiden Shogun himself joins the battlefield, do you think the resistance still has the slightest hope of victory? ”

"Why not? Isn't the goal of our rebels to defeat Raiden Shogun and overthrow the shogunate? "Teppei is already naïve to the point of being kind.

It's just a slogan, and he really believes it.

“... The head of the great god of the sea is still there, you better think about what you just said..."Anping wanted to press Teppei's head into the sea water to sober up.

"Any questions?" Teppei didn't understand.

“... There's no problem, catch fish, you, if I go to the front line now, I'm afraid that the old and young people in Wanglong Village will starve to death..."

"There's Sangonomiya-sama here..."

"She's counting on me to do more to help the islanders tide over this difficult time! You don't want to talk nonsense! Catch fish! "An Ping is angry.

... When Anping and Teppei returned to the village with the catch, they saw that everyone was already waiting at the entrance of the village.

"Are you so hungry today?" Zheping was still puzzled, and An Ping had already chuckled in his heart.

"Brother Anping... Brother Anping... Please... Please, save my brother..."Future Sauce, who cried into tears, rushed over and hugged his thigh the moment he saw Anping.

"Mr. Anping... Please, only you can save my husband..."Mrs. Peach, whose face was full of makeup, grabbed Anping's hand tightly and was about to kneel.

Other villagers who were waiting at the entrance of the village also gathered around, and they were about to kneel down in front of An Ping with tears in their eyes.

Teppei was directly stunned in place.

"Can you tell me what's going on?!" An Ping frowned, and inexplicably felt that he had fallen into someone else's trap.

A group of villagers finally explained the ins and outs of the matter. Momoko's husband, her future brother, and several other rebel soldiers from Motaki Village have been captured alive by the Shogunate Army, and they have been used as bait to snipe several rebel teams that have gone to the rescue.

And General Goro on Yayu Island was also pinned down by the generals of the shogunate army, and the only thing the villagers could count on now was Anhei.
