Chapter 182 Black Maria (Childhood Version)
puff puff~
Clusters of human-shaped flames suddenly lit up.
The noble warriors, now ablaze, screamed and scattered in all directions, revealing the nobles protecting them behind them.
"How dare you! We are none other than General Sukiyaki himself—"
"This is Jiuli."
When Tengetsu drew his sword, the gleaming blade reflecting the near-noon sunlight.
His expression grew increasingly stern.
"This is the most peaceful Jiuli, a place built by our ancestors that must never be trampled upon by nobles like you!"
"Asura Child, what are you waiting for? Seize all the nobles!"
"Anyone who dares to defy the Daming Prefecture shall be executed on the spot!"
A steady stream of warriors rushed in from all directions, blocking their noble lord's path.
"How dare you!!"
"Lord Minagawa-"
Bang-!
After kicking the taunting samurai away, the beast-human form of Torikari laughed:
"I've put up with you so-called noble warriors for far too long!"
The samurai, pale-faced, took a half-step back in unison: "The demon...the monster spoke!!!"
"A monster? Hehehe, that's right!"
Dongli raised his greatsword and slammed it down.
"To you trash, we're nothing but monsters!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground cracked, and countless spiderweb-like fissures extended in all directions.
Seeing Dorry make his move, Broki also slammed down his giant axe with a strange laugh.
As the two giants wreaked havoc, the road leading to the depths of the noble district was immediately cleared.
"Let's go!"
Ashura Child immediately led his old followers out.
"My lords, I'm leaving this place in your care!"
"I will apprehend the wicked nobles as quickly as possible!"
As Ashura Doji charged into the nobles' residential area, Toki jumped off Loki.
"Loki, go and cause a ruckus too! This so-called noble district will become history." "Ah, I know, I've been holding back for a long time too."
Loki leaped into the air, the flames flashing in his pupils instantly transforming into lightning.
Rumble~~~
The rumbling thunder grew closer.
"All civilians should return to their homes!"
"This change has nothing to do with ordinary people. Just stay home and wait for the daimyo's instructions!"
Among the crowd, Fukurokuju, leading the civilians dressed as ninjas, was the first to run towards the outer city.
He would occasionally shout in the middle of the crowd.
"Run! The Daimyo is going to kill those despicable nobles!"
"If I run any later and get accidentally injured, it will be terrible. My wife and kids are waiting for me at home!"
"Yes, yes, my parents are the same way. They must be so worried they can't even eat!"
Parents, family, children—
One factor after another emerged, and the civilian ranks began to run frantically.
As for the samurai mixed in with them.
Tianyue Shi and the others saw this but did not say anything to stop it.
"Sister, shouldn't we just ignore those samurai?"
Amatsuki shook his head: "Stopping them now will only cause more casualties. Without the nobles leading the way, those warriors won't be able to cause any trouble."
The blade was returned to its sheath.
The overall situation was now settled.
This surprise attack caught the nobles completely off guard.
The open battle involves Loki, three giants, and Ashura Child and his former followers.
The Oniwabanshu were secretly providing support.
According to the original plan, once all the civilians had escaped from the inner city, the ninjas would quickly circle around to their backs.
They blocked several escape routes for the nobles in advance.
If they surrender, they might survive for a few more days; if they resist—
The Oniwabanshu, led by Fukurokuju, have completely submitted to Bazel, and those ninjas will show no mercy.
Forget about nobility; once the sword is pierced through their hearts and throats, they're nothing but dead dogs.
"Enel, after the nobles are captured, secretly do something for them."
Toki helped Enel unload the huge stone from his back, then knelt down and whispered some words of advice in the boy's ear.
"Those fleeing samurai will surely spread rumors around the outskirts of the castle, trying to incite public anger."
"Take my money and go into the streets and alleys, and say that this is a reward of 50 taels of silver given to you by the newly appointed official."
"They will definitely ask you why. Just say that you reported the noble samurai who had been killing people indiscriminately, and that the daimyo rewarded you for it."
"Reporting a noble samurai will earn you a reward of 50 silver coins if the report is verified; reporting a fleeing noble will earn you 1 gold coin."
"Did you understand?"
Enel nodded: "I'm best at this kind of street-smart stuff. I'll go find some ragged clothes first, and then I'll go out into the streets later!"
"After an afternoon of reflection, the common people must have relaxed their guard somewhat!"
"From now on, whenever I show up in tattered clothes, those people will be unable to resist their greed when they see the money I'm carrying!"
"That's right. As long as someone steps forward and says they got the money, the people of Oden Castle will stand with us."
Tenzuki straightened up and looked at the disheveled nobleman who had been pushed back by Nishino.
"No one will turn down money, especially when the target of their money is an enemy they once feared."
"You'll regret this, you vixen."
Ryoya Minagawa knelt on the ground, his hands and feet bound by the iron chains that had been found.
Her tightly combed hair had long since fallen loose, and she no longer looked as noble as before.
"Shut up, you bastard!"
A rap-like curse came from Nishino's mouth as he stepped forward, pushed Minagawa Yoshiya down, and kicked him hard.
Tian Yue Shi didn't stop them, but just watched expressionlessly as the other party went from cursing and threatening to screaming and begging for mercy.
"Your time is over."
More and more nobles were pressed before Tianyue, but they dared not utter a word of rebuttal.
The last one who cursed, Minagawa Ryo, was beaten half to death and lay in front of them barely breathing.
"Nishino,"
"My lord!" Nishino immediately knelt down on one knee.
Tian Yue said softly:
"Notify Fukurokuju and the Imperial Guards that after dealing with those escaped nobles, they should immediately return and use their expertise to search all noble residences."
"Whether it's gold, silver, or shop receipts, I want them all."
The Oniwabanshu?!
The expressions of the nobles who knelt and bowed their heads changed slightly.
Isn't that the general's private ninja force?!
and many more! !
It's over-
The nobles weren't fools; they knew they had heard things they shouldn't have, and that death was the only path awaiting them.
The newly appointed daimyo is able to command the Shogun's Imperial Guards.
Who exactly is this woman?!
"etc!"
Just then, amidst the restless crowd of nobles, an elderly nobleman with white hair and beard suddenly spoke up.
"I am the head of the Furuya clan, and my name is Furuya Itsuki."
"Your Excellency, by taking Oden Castle for your own use, you may be trying to rule this castle according to your own ideas."
"I know a bit about managing subordinates, even my former reputation—"
"The art of management?"
After dealing with the stubbornly resisting Wu Tu, Dong Li, who was sitting to the side, slapped the ground and laughed as if he had heard a big joke.
"Hey Brogy, this guy actually claims to know something about management?"
"Hehehe, that almost made me die laughing!"
"No one knows how to manage this ocean better than Boss Bazel, right?"
"You frogs in a well, your idea of governance is nothing more than using the privileges of nobles and the swords of samurai to threaten ordinary people."
"What kind of management is this?"
Furuya Tree did not refute, and only slowly spoke after the giants stopped laughing.
"I am willing to donate all my property and assist you in taking control of Oden Castle and the surrounding towns in the shortest possible time."
"Professionals should do professional things. Even if you have a lot of energy, you can't possibly do everything yourself."
"I have only one request."
The elderly nobleman slowly knelt down, placed his hands on the ground, and gently touched the back of his hands with his forehead.
"I beg you to spare the lives of myself and my adopted granddaughter."
"She was a baby I found while playing in the arcade, and she has no blood relation to the Furuya family."
baby?
Seemingly sensing Tengetsu's wavering, Furuya Itsuki felt a sudden realization.
He turned and walked into the crowd, carrying a blond baby with horns on his head.
"Hey, Loki, this is terrible!!"
Loki, who was resting in his beast form, opened his eyes and looked at Dorry, who was shouting.
"What is it now?!"
Dongli pointed to the corner of the baby girl's forehead, his expression changing slightly:
"There are infant-like beings like you!"
Loki was taken aback at first, then hurriedly got up and came closer, his demonic blood-red eyes sweeping over the baby's tender red horn on its head.
Wow~ Wow!!
Perhaps Loki's transformed Nue was too frightening, because the baby girl immediately burst into tears.
After glaring at Loki who was standing too close, Tengetsu quickly took the baby girl and gently coaxed her.
"What's her name?"
"When I found her six months ago, she had a letter in her arms, in which she was addressed as—"
"Maria."
