Late at night.
In the Marshland City's Heavensguard Pavilion, the current head of the Yamada family, Yamada Hosori, was still awake.
"The power of the Gui family is too strong. It has seriously threatened the position of the main family …"
In the discussion room, a few senior ministers all had worried looks on their faces. "Especially since we are going to hold a military parade. This is to consolidate the power of the troops under our command … We hope that our Lord can make a decision quickly!"
The Yamada family's royal merchant, Naito Takasaki, was kneeling in the last row, respectfully bowing his head, not giving him a chance to speak.
However, there was a trace of complicated and strange look in his eyes.
"The Gui family can now mobilize more than a thousand troops. Even with the secret help of the Kojima family, the Naramori family, and the Little Bird You family, it will be difficult to defeat them …"
Yamada Hosori murmured, "More importantly, the power of that person and his Gui 1 team!"
At the mention of this, everyone in the meeting room was silent.
That person was naturally the Gui family's supervisor, Guichi Dharma Eye, who had the name of God and Demon Help!
According to the rumors, this person not only had the power equivalent to the power of a thousand men combined, but was also a terrifying Yin-Yang master, with a terrifying battle record!
And even if Guichi Dharma Eye did not fight in recent years, the Gui 1 team under his command was also infamous, and the battle record they created was enough to scare anyone.
"My lord, please don't worry about this!"
Naito Takasaki knelt down and buried his head deep on the floor.
After the rise of the Gui family, there was a period of time when the Yamada family was restless. They did not dare to do anything out of line or cause hostility, for fear that the Gui family would seize the opportunity to attack them.
And during that period of time, Naito Takasaki made good use of his identity as a merchant to become the middleman to contact the Yiyu Clan, and his status was finally improved.
Otherwise, he would not even be able to enter this room today.
"Although Guichi Dharma Eye is a powerful Swordmaster and Onmyoji, the Yiyu Clan has promised to send a team of priests to help, and at the same time, they have also invited a Swordmaster and a Jonin, which should be enough to ensure the safety of the Yamada family …"
As soon as he said this, the discussion room was filled with gasps.
Swordmaster and Jonin! In Wu Ming's system, they were all Level 3 experts, existences that even the King had to pay respect to. Now, he had actually sent out two of them?
There was even a group of priests participating in the battle! Not only were the priests and witches proficient in the art of Yin and Yang, but they could also borrow the power of the gods they worshiped to form divine arts. They could even offer sacrifices and ask for the gods' avatars to help them.
"Ah … Since the Yiyu Clan's Priest Group of Izumo Taisha is here, they should be able to expel the evil spirits!"
Hearing this news, the henchmen all began to celebrate.
"Not only that … the Yiyu Clan's Elder Qiu Shang Yi's Temple will also lead an army of three thousand to rush over. During the Gui Family's military parade, they will also be stationed in the Iishi District to exert pressure on the entire county … At that time, I believe that all the powerful clans in the county will make their choice!"
Naito Takamasa said respectfully.
Clap!
Yamada Tsushiro slapped his fan and said in surprise, "In that case, what do I have to be depressed about?"
His joy was overflowing. Then, he looked at Naito Takamasa who was still kneeling respectfully and said, "This time, you have contacted the Yiyu Clan and made a contribution to the family. I will give you a hundred Knowledge Executors!"
"Ha! I will serve the family to the death! "
Naito Takamasa already had a family name. Now, with the hereditary title of Knowledge Executor, he would be officially promoted to a samurai.
From then on, all his descendants would be superior, and they would be able to become officials in Swamp City for generations. Their status would be much higher than that of the lowly merchants.
And in this process, how many people knew the sweat and effort he had put in?
Naito Takanmasa bent down and kowtowed with the most humble etiquette, but his eyes were already blurred.
…
At the same time, outside Swamp City.
Taking advantage of the night, Kanosuke Yamanaka and Guiyi Yijing sneaked in with Ashigaru.
"My ninjas are already lying in ambush in the city. Later, they will open the city gate and create chaos in the city … Lord, please seize the opportunity!"
Mochizuki Kotaro's figure appeared, and then quietly disappeared into the darkness.
"This kind of ninjutsu … I am afraid it is close to a Jonin?"
Kanosuke Yamanaka's eyes twitched, and then looked at the seven samurai in front of him. "Matsushita, Koizumi … I will leave it to you this time!"
After all, this battle was too important. Although Wu Ming had to stay in Tsukiyama Futa City and couldn't personally come to command, he still sent the strongest Demon Seven Samurai under his command.
"Please rest assured!"
Kenichi Matsushita and the others answered solemnly, and then a ferocious smile appeared on their faces. "I really want to see the beautiful scene of the falling blood cherry on the battlefield …"
These seven samurai were the first to follow Wu Ming, and were exposed to ninjutsu swordsmanship. At this time, they were generally at the peak of level 2.
With such strength, there was no doubt that they would play a role in the night attack.
"The ninjas have sent the signal, prepare for the surprise attack!"
After the arrangement was made, they waited for a while, and then three very rhythmic crows came from the darkness.
With Guiyi Yijing's eyesight, he could see several black shadows flashing on the city wall, silently killing the guard Ashigaru.
Even the gate was slowly opened, and a few ropes were tied down from the city wall.
"Kill! Kill! Don't make a sound! "
Although Kanosuke Yamanaka lowered his voice, the excitement and excitement could still be heard.
"My first battle!"
Guiyi Yijing tightened his grip on the samurai sword in his hand. The blade of this samurai sword was as clear as water and had a sharp edge. It was the famous sword Mikazuki Munechika bestowed by the Gui family, and it attracted a lot of envy.
"I have to win this city for the main family …"
The young boy already had a plan for the future. "If the Gui family can become the governor of the Izumo Kingdom, they will support me in taking revenge in Luo!"
At this time, no one could see that the purple luck above his head was constantly surging, suppressing the luck of Moda City.
The team advanced very quickly.
In the midst of the rustling, more than a hundred Ashigaru sneaked into the Sanno Maru.
"Who is it? Kill! "
Clang!
In the sudden night, a shout and the sound of a samurai sword slashing could be heard.
"We've been discovered!"
Kanosuke Yamanaka's expression changed, and he shouted, "Kill! Kill! "
"Rush to the Sanno Maru!"
Guiyi Yijing took the lead and formed an irresistible attack with the seven samurai of the Gui family, killing the samurai and Ashigaru who rushed to fight.
The outer city of Moda City, the Sanno Maru, was the tallest and most solid. The walls were made of stone, while the walls of the Sanno Maru were made of wood. From here, one could even vaguely see the glorious Heavensguard Pavilion, in which lights were flashing and people were shouting. Apparently, it was also alarmed.
Whoosh!
Seeing this, Guiyi Yijing did not hesitate to take out the bow and arrows on his back and shoot. The Ashigaru and samurai on the top of the Sanno Maru were shot and fell to the ground. When the Ashigaru of the Gui family saw this scene, they became spirited and rushed forward.
"Kill!"
After using the bow and arrows, Guiyi Yijing pulled out the Mikazuki Munechika. The cultivation of ninjutsu and Yin-Yang arts made his body as light as a swallow. In an instant, he jumped onto the wall of the Sanno Maru.
The blade flashed, and two samurai who surrounded him were killed.
Boom!
The flag representing the Yamada family was cut down, and the gates and fences of the Sanno Maru were also opened.
"I, Guiyi Yijing, have broken through the Sanno Maru!"
Guiyi Yijing roared excitedly, feeling that his body was unprecedentedly carefree, and his blood was constantly boiling, letting him know that he was born for this battlefield.
"Very good! As expected of the samurai of the Gui family! "
Kanosuke Yamanaka and Kenichi Matsushita and others arrived later, with a gratified look on their faces. "This is your first time on the battlefield, right? Sure enough, you have inherited the bravery of the Lord Governor! "
This evaluation was quite good, which meant that some people had begun to favor Guiyi Yijing as the heir of the Gui family.
With the hearts of the people, a trace of luck poured into the top of Guiyi Yijing's head, and was firmly grasped. With this help, the Natal Qi became more active and was about to manifest its power.
Of course, Guiyi Yijing was not aware of all this, and only shouted excitedly, "Surround the Heavensguard Pavilion!"
The Heavensguard Pavilion was where the Yamada family's headquarters was located, the highest point in the entire Swamps City. Previously, when Guiyi Yijing came here, he could only look up.
But now, he could step on it!
"There are at least a hundred Ashigaru and samurai guarding the Heavensguard Pavilion … If we attack head-on, our Ashigaru will also be injured, which is not good for the family! Now, it's time to organize the elites to charge. I am willing to be the leader of the charge! "
Guiyi Yijing said.
If it was in a world without magic, without extraordinary power, even if they cultivated martial arts, the difference between individuals would be limited. With the narrow terrain and traps of the Heavensguard Pavilion, a hundred people would be enough to kill hundreds of people, and the Gui family would be greatly weakened.
After all, this was the residence of a daimyo, and also the last line of defense.
But in the Japanese world, it was different.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you!"
A look of certainty appeared in Kanosuke Yamanaka's eyes. "When we take down the Heavensguard Pavilion, I will definitely ask for credit for you!"
The vanguard was quickly assembled, and there were less than twenty of them. Gui Yi and the seven samurai were among them, and there were also a few ninjas. The common characteristic was that they all had level-two cultivation.
With such cultivation, every one of them was a level-one expert who had killed a hundred people. Ordinary traps would be useless against them.
"For the great cause of the family, charge!"
Guiyi Yijing first quickly set up a Yin-Yang formation, and then summoned a thick fog that enveloped the entire Heavensguard Pavilion. Only then did he take the lead and charge in.
…
"What's going on?"
A little earlier, Yamada Tsutomori had just freed himself from his usual uneasiness and fell asleep peacefully, but he was woken up by the noise.
When he looked down from his vantage point and saw the large number of battle cries and fires in the city, his hands and feet turned cold.
"The Gui family attacked us, and now they've killed their way to the Heavensguard Pavilion …"
Naito Takamasa was lucky not to be killed, and escaped back into the Heavensguard Pavilion. Looking at the Ashigaru of the Gui family below, he felt like he had fallen into an abyss …
