Lucius stepped forward and made the entire Edo Castle finally enter a state of readiness, but at this moment, the army outside the city had already approached the city, and Tokugawa and the people stood beside Lucius, looking a little lost.

Obviously, he was not satisfied with his performance this time, and seemed to feel that he had not been able to convince the people of the city to defend Edo Castle before the arrival of the enemy army, and that it was his fault that Lucius needed to intervene at the last moment, and that the enemy army had already arrived under the city.

Lucius looked at Tokugawa Kazuto, who was a little depressed, and patted him with a smile: "Hehe, don't be discouraged, in fact, you have done a good job, and I may not have done as well as you at your age." ”

After receiving Lucius's affirmation, Tokugawa and the people's expressions eased slightly, and the originally depressed mood instantly recovered a lot, looking at the army outside the city and asked solemnly: "Your Highness, can we really resist this army?" They look like they are eyeing each other, and we seem to be weak. ”

"Hehe, do we seem to be weak? No, we are not weak, in fact, you should change your inherent mind, not how strong a samurai is, everyone is equal in the face of death. ”

Saying that, Lucius stood in front of the tower, looking down at the army gathered below, and said calmly: "Everyone should be in awe of death, but we must not be afraid of death. ”

"When war comes, you should not hide because you are afraid of death, let alone pin your fate on others, if you want to defeat the threat of death, if you want to be the victor of the war, if you want to be able to survive, then you must show your own courage. ”

As Lecius spoke, he saw that the army outside the city had been assembled and surrounded the entire Edo Castle, and it seemed that the other party was obviously prepared, although in the face of the huge Edo Castle, the army outside the city seemed a little weak, but the other party was still scattered. Surround the whole city on all sides.

Looking down at the army below, Lucius suddenly shouted, "Oda Nobumitsu, I know you're here, come out to meet me, and I'm eager to see how you plan to attack Edo Castle in front of me." ”

In an instant, the heavens and the earth were silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lucius, whether it was the attacking army outside the city or the people in the city who were preparing to defend the city. All of them were shocked and didn't dare to make a sound.

With the sound of horses' hooves, a warrior wearing black rattan armor and riding a black-maned horse slapped out of the besieging army, stopped in front of the city gate, looked up at Lucius standing on the city tower, did not take off the helmet on his face, and just looked up at Lucius like that.

But the next moment, almost a man on horseback. He bowed to Lucius: "Meet His Highness the Venerable Lucius." ”

In fact, the current Oda Nobumitsu is no longer the original him, but there is a fear of Lucius in his memory fragments, and he still maintains respect for Lucius.

Even the will to control Oda Nobumitsu's body never imagined that Oda Nobumitsu would be so afraid of Lecius in his memory. Even just a fragment of memory would be hard for him to resist.

The most unimaginable thing about the wisp of will that originated from Pavaro was that he wanted to erase the fear of Lecius from his memory, only to find that almost every memory fragment contained fear of Lecius.

Hiding in the shadows, Pavaro was almost hysterical. It's hard to imagine what Oda Nobumitsu had seen before, so all the memory fragments have a fear of Lecius, you must know that although he controls Oda Nobumitsu with a wisp of will, he still has to rely on Oda Nobumitsu's previous memories.

Otherwise, it is impossible to simulate the role of the soul. In that case, Oda Nobumitsu will still become a glazed puppet, but to use Oda Nobumitsu's memory, it is inevitable that he will be afraid of Lucius.

In the end, Pavaro, who was secretly manipulating, could only give up, let Oda Nobumitsu's memory fragments play a role, and let Oda Nobumitsu's fear of Lucius go.

Seeing Oda Nobumitsu bending down on horseback, he was suddenly stunned after saluting himself, although it was far away and it was night, Lucius still relied on the special glasses on his eyes to clearly see all the expressions on Oda Nobumitsu's face under the helmet.

Especially when he saw Oda Nobumitsu's eyes being momentarily sluggish, Lucius sighed in his heart: he couldn't imagine that Oda Nobumitsu was really controlled by the King of Hearts.

After a moment of silence, Lucius smiled and said to Oda Nobumitsu: "Oda, you are very strong now, and you actually have such a large army, so you came this time to capture Edo Castle from me?"

Oda Nobumitsu then said: "Your Highness, this is what you gave me at the beginning, everyone should control their own destiny, I am now doing exactly what you taught me at the beginning, I want to become the king of Fuso, I don't want to continue to send people under the fence, so I choose to lead the army here." ”

"I, Oda Nobumitsu, want to overcome the mountain that was once placed in front of me, the first thing is to capture Edo Castle, and only when I get Edo Castle can I officially embark on the road to becoming a strong man. ”

Lucius naturally understood that these words should not have been said by Oda Nobumitsu himself, but by the guy who manipulated his mind, and deliberately refuted some of his own views through his mouth.

Smiling indifferently, Lucius responded: "The path of the strong? is this how you understand what I mean by controlling your own destiny? If that's the case, then I really looked down on you before." ”

Lucius's words were a pun, not only to Oda Nobumitsu, but also to Pavaro, he knew that Pavaro must be nearby, and he must be able to hear his words, so he made a pun and directly pointed out that he actually knew the other party's little trick.

Then Lecius continued: "Mastering one's own destiny and venting one's desires are two different concepts, and mastering one's own destiny is to grasp the opportunity given by fate, and to strive for what one wants to get without violating the most fundamental moral bottom line." ”

"It's like, if you want to be a general, then you can become a general if you grasp every war, work hard to stand up at critical moments, and get the support of the soldiers. ”

After a pause, Lucius stared at Oda Nobumitsu below, and continued: "And if, in order to become a general, you use a conspiracy to frame your boss and thus seize his position, then you are doing it for your own selfish desires, not controlling and writing your own destiny. ”

"Hehehe, strong words, do you always pretend to be like this? I think I always stand on the moral high ground, and always put on such a face to others, Your Highness Lucius, you really disappointed me, I originally thought that you would beg me directly to let me quit, maybe then I would really pity you and choose to retreat. ”

After saying that, Oda Nobumitsu laughed even more unscrupulously, and it could be seen that his words contained contempt for Lucius, and there was no respect at all for him.

"Bang" and in response to Oda Nobumitsu's arrogant taunt, it was Lucius's unceremonious shot, and the bullet flew out, although Oda Nobumitsu tried to resist, but the bullet still hit the rattan armor helmet on her head directly, just when everyone thought that Oda Nobumitsu was going to be killed by a single shot.

The helmet actually shattered directly, but Oda Nobumitsu was not killed by the bullet, and looked at the helmet fragments on his face with horror.

Seeing the look of horror on Oda Nobumitsu's face, Lucius smiled and said, "Hehe, you'd better not taunt me, because I can kill you at any time." ”

Pavaro, who was hiding in the shadows, was horrified, and at the same time, a tingling pain came from the depths of his consciousness, almost making him unable to concentrate.

He knew that the stinging pain was because the other party didn't seem to have a bullet that pierced Oda Nobumitsu's head, but in fact it released a majestic spiritual power that directly attacked the wisp of consciousness that he manipulated Oda Nobumitsu.

It can be said that it is dangerous and dangerous, if it weren't for Pavaro's preparation in advance, I am afraid that the blow just now may directly lead to the disintegration of his own split soul, you must know that the stability of the split soul is not as good as the real soul, and he is using his own mental power to manipulate another body, and the sudden attack is very likely to cause the spirit to collapse.

With this experience, Pavaro became more cautious and protected his spirit when controlling Oda Nobumitsu's body.

On the other side, Oda Nobumitsu, who was under the castle, raised his head and looked at the castle tower angrily, and saw Lucius standing in front of the castle tower, his eyes revealed deep anger.

But he couldn't do anything with Lucius, because the other party had the advantage of a high place, just like what Lucius said just now, as long as he wanted, he could kill Oda Nobumitsu at any time, and Oda Nobumitsu didn't even have a chance to fight back, even his army couldn't avenge him in the first place.

The people who were still worried about defending the city saw the means used by Lucius, and they all had confidence, feeling that as long as Lucius was there, they would definitely be able to defend Edo Castle.

Lucius loaded the bullet, raised the gun in his hand again, and aimed it at Oda Nobumitsu's head again, at this moment Oda Nobumitsu did not dare to linger any longer, and before Lucius fired, he quickly turned around and galloped towards the army, and jumped off the horse directly after entering the army.

Oda Nobumitsu's approach was really ridiculous, but no one opened his mouth to laugh at him at the moment, because everyone saw the previous scene and knew the horror of the firearm in Lucius's hand.

Lucius looked at Oda Nobumitsu hiding in the army, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, do you think that if you hide in the army, I won't be able to beat you?"

As he spoke, he raised his gun again, pulled the trigger directly and shot below, as if he didn't need to aim at all, and he didn't need to find the exact location of Oda Nobumitsu, it was just that seemingly random shot.

"Bang" Oda Nobumitsu watched as a rapid bullet grazed his cheek and pierced the chest of a samurai standing behind him, who fell directly into a pool of blood, and died simply and directly without even having time to say a word. (To be continued......)
