Accepting Oda's surrender, Lucius and the others entered the village under the leadership of Assuna and Shirou, while whispering to Oda about ronin.

Soon, Ruciuston Guò Oda learned that Oda and his group of samurai were forced to wander and become ronins because they were unwilling to be loyal to the great shogun Tokugawa Iehiko.

It was also because they were pursued by the samurai of the Tokugawa family, and they had to disperse and flee from Kyoto, Fuso Province, and could only appear in some places far away from Kyoto.

Oda followed Lucius's side and said very respectfully, "My lord, in fact, we didn't mean to besiege you, Su and I just wanted to show the village our strength so that we could live in the village. ”

Hearing this, Lucius couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, it seems that you are very unfortunate to encounter my iron plate, and as a result, you ruined your chances of expressing yourself. ”

"No, Your Excellency, please don't say that, your strength convinces Oda, Oda Nobumitsu sincerely follows Your Excellency, and regards Your Excellency as my master's home, Oda Nobumitsu is the knife in your hand, as long as you need it, Oda Nobumitsu will not hesitate to take action, clearing a qiē obstacle for you, until you lose your life. ”

Seeing that Oda Nobumitsu was unusually strict, Lucius turned his head to stare at him, and found that Oda Nobumitsu was like a loyal knight in the Western Continent, and he was a guy who absolutely kept his oath.

Sakura Rinko leaned over to Lucius and whispered, "This is the samurai spirit of Fuso Kingdom, once a samurai hands over his sword and swears allegiance to the lord, he will always be loyal to the lord until the lord breaks the contract." ”

After saying that, Sakura Rinko suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look at Oda Nobumitsu and asked, "I have also heard of a samurai of the Oda family, who is said to have been a fierce general under Tokugawa Iehiko. And he also won the title of 'Ghost Warrior', I wonder if you have anything to do with that?"

Oda Nobumitsu turned around and bowed to Sakura Rinko, and replied very sternly: "Miss, the Oda family samurai who has won the title of ghost warrior in your mouth is probably Nobumitsu." ”

"What? you, you're actually a ghost warrior?" Hearing Oda Nobumitsu's answer, Shirou immediately rushed forward, looking at Oda Nobumitsu with an incredulous face, his eyes revealing a look of adoration.

Sakura Rinko was also full of surprise, never thought that Oda Nobumitsu was actually a ghost warrior. You must know that the samurai who can obtain the title of ghost warrior are not very common in Fuso country.

At this moment, Sakura Rinko couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Lucius, thinking of her plan to restore the country, Sakura Rinko also longed in her heart that there would be a ghost warrior loyal to her, but a ghost warrior in front of her was actually loyal to Lucius, an outsider, which made Sakura Rinko feel a little resentful in her heart.

Lu Xius asked with some confusion: "What is the Oni Warrior? Is it the title of the warrior of your Fuso Kingdom, and is the warrior who has obtained this title very powerful?"

Oda Nobumitsu immediately replied, "Your Excellency doesn't know that most of the samurai of Fuso Kingdom believe in ghosts and gods. We all get power from the ghosts, and the amount of power we get from the ghosts determines the strength of each of our samurai, and the oni warrior is the samurai who can already urge all the ghost power of the oni god. ”

"Urge all the ghost power of the ghosts and gods?" Lucius asked after hearing this. "Then if you can use all the power of the ghosts and gods, what is it called?"

Oda Nobumitsu said with great reverence, "If you can use all the power of the demons, you will no longer be an ordinary samurai, but a real ghost." ”

Listened to Oda Nobumitsu's answer. Caroline, who leaned over, suddenly exclaimed, "What? Then how many ghosts and gods are there in your Fuso country? It seems that you and the ghost god called by Su I are not the same, right? Could it be that the ghosts and gods of each of you samurai are different?"

Caroline's words silenced Oda Nobumitsu. On the contrary, Sakura Rinko said with a solemn expression: "According to the oracle of Amaterasu, there are 80 million ghosts and gods large and small in the entire Fuso country. ”

"What? 80 million? A civilization born in such a small country as yours actually has 80 million gods? No wonder, no wonder your divine power is so weak. ”

Knowing that there were 80 million ghosts and gods in the entire Fusang Kingdom, even Lu Xius was surprised, even if it was the powerful Magic Heaven Kingdom in the Western Continent, in the period when the magic civilization was at its strongest, I am afraid that the number of gods and goddesses in the entire Magic Heaven could not be 80 million.

And now, in such a small island country of Fuso, the local civilization has 80 million gods, which is simply unimaginable.

You must know that the existence of each god requires civilization to supply enough power, even if those gods do not reach the strength that true gods should have, but the energy they draw from civilization is still no less than that of real ear gods.

And Fusang, an island country, does not seem to be as vast as the Western Continent, nor does it have as many populations as the Western Continent, but the native civilization has given birth to 80 million gods, and it is conceivable that so many gods are a very heavy burden on the entire civilization.

Lucius and the others finally understood why the local civilization of Fusang Country could not give birth to real gods, and with those 80 million ghosts and gods, the civilization of Fusang Country naturally could not give birth to gods.

Seeing the surprised look of Lucius and the others, Sakura Rinko said a little strangely: "Is 80 million a lot? When Anameasu fought in Huangquan, there were hundreds of millions of gods under his command, and 80 million ghosts and gods were just a small part, and they were also the part that Anameasu could bring back." ”

Oda Nobumitsu also echoed: "Yes, Amaterasu God fought in the Yellow Springs, and it is said that he once tried to kill Middle-earth, but unfortunately he was finally defeated by the army of gods in Middle-earth, but now the gods of Middle-earth have begun to invade our Fuso country, but there are 80 million ghosts and gods brought back by Amaterasu, and those gods can't get much benefit." ”

Hearing this, Lucius said with a little crying and laughing: "However, have you ever thought that the strength of 80 million ghosts and gods is much lower than that of other people's gods, even if you occupy the numerical advantage, what can you do?

Lucius's words immediately silenced Oda Nobumitsu and Sakura Rinko, because they had no way to argue.

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that over the years, the gods of Middle-earth had continuously invaded Fusang and captured a large number of believers in Fusang, directly leading the Shinto civilization in Fusang to decline.

As Lucius said, even if there are 80 million ghosts and gods in the Shinto civilization, the power of those ghosts and gods is limited, and they have lost their original bodies, and they must rely on possessed warriors to be able to exert the power of ghosts and gods, which in itself makes it difficult for the Shinto civilization to compete with various civilizations in Middle-earth.

In addition, the Fuso Kingdom was in turmoil for many years, and the powerful samurai daimyo in various places supported their own armies and attacked each other, and there was no suitable environment for the development of Shinto civilization.

And some samurai daimyo who supported their own troops should have voted for other civilizations in order to gain strength, which made the Shinto civilization of Fuso even worse, Sakura Rinko and Oda Nobumitsu almost foresaw that in the near future, the Shinto civilization of Fuso would be completely crushed by foreign civilizations in Middle-earth.

After a long silence, Oda Nobumitsu spoke again: "My lord is right, so although we have 80 million gods, we are still no match for the invaders of Middle-earth. ”

Lecius could see the unwillingness in Oda Nobumitsu's eyes when he said this, and he could feel Oda Nobumitsu's desire to defeat the foreign gods, but he didn't have enough strength to do it.

Looking at the stubbornness on Oda Nobumitsu's face, Lucius couldn't help but smile and asked, "Oda, you were a samurai under the command of the great general Tokugawa Iehiko before, so why did you turn your back on Tokugawa Iehiko?"

Oda Nobumitsu fell silent when he heard this, and thought for a long time before he spoke: "I don't want to be Tokugawa Iehiko's lackey, I don't want to be with him, because he has turned his back on Fuso and chosen Middle-earth Buddhism, and he actually persecuted His Majesty the Emperor, such a guy I, Oda Nobumitsu, will definitely not follow him." ”

Listening to Oda Nobumitsu's words, Sakura Rinko's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and the eyes that looked at Oda Nobumitsu were full of excitement, and she almost wanted to reveal her identity to Oda Nobumitsu.

But thinking of Lucius and the others around her, Sakura Rinko still suppressed the impulse in her heart and did not reveal her true identity.

Although Sakura Rinko covered it up well, Lucius still saw the change in her expression, but Lucius didn't break it, but continued to ask Oda Nobumitsu: "So, you should be loyal to the monarch of your Fuso country, that is, the 'Emperor Xià' in your mouth?"

"That's natural, I'm a faithful Shinto believer, I serve the ghosts and gods with my body, and His Majesty the Emperor is a descendant of Amaterasu, so I naturally owe allegiance to the Emperor. ”

Lecius further asked, "Then if I am an enemy of your emperor, will you be loyal to me, or will you be loyal to your emperor and betray me?"

Oda Nobumitsu was stunned when he heard this, and Sakura Rinko was also full of shock, they obviously didn't expect that Lucius would ask this kind of question directly like this, in their opinion, Lucius was an outsider, and he had almost not officially set foot in the Fuso Kingdom, how could he be hostile to the emperor?

However, Lucius questioned it directly, which caught Oda Nobumitsu off guard, because he didn't know how to answer Lucius.

According to the spirit of the samurai of Fuso, since he swore allegiance to Lucius, then he should not turn his back on Lucius, but if Lucius is an enemy of the emperor, then Oda Nobumitsu does not betray Lucius, which is equivalent to being an enemy of the emperor, which is contrary to the Shinto religion that Oda Nobumitsu believes.

For a moment, Oda Nobumitsu was in a dilemma, not knowing how to choose, and looked at Lucius in a daze for a long time without opening his mouth to answer, or did he not know how to answer at all......?
