Chapter 379
Kokomi doesn't know what's going on with the Shogunate, or to be precise, what's going on with that Kujou Sara.
It's as if she's gone mad, launching wars one after another for no reason.
Don't the people in the Shogunate army need to eat and sleep?
Or is it...
That the Raiden Shogun instructed them to speed up the pace of attack, to fight a lightning war, and to scatter the morale of the Resistance as soon as possible?
If that's the case, Kokomi is truly a bit desperate.
There aren't many resources on Watatsumi Island that support the Resistance.
The land occupied by the Resistance is also unsuitable for farming, and even places where few people live.
The food problem is one that can plague the Resistance to death.
Originally, there was the Alcor of Beidou coming to support, but now, it's been more than half a month.
The Alcor hasn't been here at all.
The food supply for the Resistance is already somewhat insufficient.
Kokomi glanced at the Resistance soldiers around her; they were all sallow and exhausted.
Although they were still bracing themselves to guard against the opposite side, Kokomi knew that they were already at the end of their rope.
Looking at the Shogunate army, although they were also very tired, at least they could eat.
After all, those scum in the Shogunate didn't hesitate to increase the taxes in Inazuma, scraping the fat and cream of the people, and then leaking some resources from their fingers to supply the front line.
The number of people in the Shogunate army is also quite large.
If this battle continues like this, they will undoubtedly be defeated.
"Her Excellency, Sangonomiya."
Gorou, with dark circles under his eyes, walked quickly into the big tent and bowed:
"The Shogunate army is still led by Kujou Sara, and they are already gathering their troops, preparing to attack."
Hearing this, Kokomi's vision went dark, and she felt a bit sorrowful.
"General Kujou, does she really want to force the Resistance to death? Are the Resistance not the people of Inazuma?"
"We just want to fight for our due rights and resist the Vision Hunt Decree. Why force us like this!"
"Is it wrong to take back our dreams?"
Kokomi clenched her fists tightly, her sharp nails piercing her palms, and blood trickled down.
She really doesn't understand why Kujou Sara suddenly became so crazy.
Gorou looked at Kokomi, gritted his teeth and said:
"Her Excellency, Sangonomiya, there is no time for sadness. Please agree to my proposal. Let me lead a team to assassinate Kujou Sara!"
"What's the use of that?"
Kokomi asked back, her voice deep:
"Not to mention that Kujou Sara is powerful and impossible to assassinate, even if you assassinated her, wouldn't there be others in the Shogunate army?"
"Wouldn't the Shogun have other generals to use?"
"Taking a step back, even if you killed Kujou Sara, how would you retreat?"
Seeing Gorou open his mouth to say something, Kokomi suddenly raised her hand, her tone firm:
"No need to say more! I don't want to hear that 'sacrificing me alone can at least buy some time for rest'."
"I don't want to hear such words again! We are already short of manpower. If you fall, we will only be defeated faster!"
Gorou opened his mouth.
"Her Excellency, Sangonomiya, I..."
"Retreat!"
Kokomi stood up, supporting herself with some fatigue.
"Gorou, gather the troops and prepare to fight the Shogunate army!"
Gorou looked at Kokomi in a daze, and for the first time, he saw a trace of fragility on her face.
Immediately, Gorou lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said:
"I obey!"
After speaking, Gorou turned and quickly walked out of the big tent.
The Resistance soldiers outside suddenly became noisy.
Kokomi walked slowly out of the big tent, looking at the dense Shogunate army in the distance, as well as Kujou Sara standing at the forefront, and closed her eyes in a bit of a breakdown.
"Shogun, I don't understand... we just want to take back our dreams and defend our wishes."
"Is this... also wrong?"
"Does eternity... have to sacrifice everyone's future?"
"Shogun, do you really love your people?"
There was no response to the whispers, only the thunder in the sky remained.
Kokomi sighed helplessly, reorganized her troops, and returned to her confident appearance.
No matter what...
As a strategist and commander, she cannot show weakness.
These countless soldiers are still counting on her.
240. Forcibly suppressing the war in Inazuma with the Sword Art.
On a high mountain not far away.
Several figures were quietly lurking here.
Quietly watching the movement below, after a while, one person exclaimed:
"Young Lady, the war is about to start again! What... what should we do?"
The person called Young Lady had a trace of nervousness on her delicate face.
"Thoma, hasn't the Alcor arrived yet?"
The person here is obviously the eldest lady of the Kamisato clan, Kamisato Ayaka, and the Kamisato clan servant, Thoma.
Besides them, there are also Yoimiya and Sayu.
Under these four major combat powers, there are dozens of ninjas raised by the Kamisato clan.
A few days ago, Ayaka received a message from Kamisato Ayato and knew the desperate situation faced by the Resistance.
Kujou Sara didn't know why she suddenly accelerated the pace of attack, and the Resistance had been forced into a dead end.
Ayaka decisively called for support.
It's just that this kind of battlefield really made her a bit dazed.
A battle of tens of thousands of people, how can it be reversed by the few of them?
Ayaka understood that Kamisato Ayato's meaning was to try to rescue Kokomi when things were impossible.
As long as she is there, the Resistance is there.
Just looking at the Resistance and Shogunate soldiers fighting below, Ayaka still couldn't help but have bloodshot eyes.
The elegant Kamisato Young Lady punched the ground hard.
"Why! Why does General Kujou have to force everyone to death?"
"Are the Resistance not the people of Inazuma?"
Thoma said in a low voice:
"Young Lady, now is not the time to talk about this, we have to prepare."
"There is no movement from Captain Beidou, the Resistance has fought many battles, and their military equipment can no longer keep up. This time, the Resistance will undoubtedly be defeated."
"We have to prepare to rescue Miss Sangonomiya Kokomi."
To be honest, he also has no idea about rescuing Kokomi.
That is a battlefield of tens of thousands of people, and the few of them going in is not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.
Even if there are many Vision holders here, it is just a drop in the bucket.
No matter how strong a Vision holder is, before ascending to godhood, they are still human.
Human power has its limits.
Yoimiya leaned over and whispered:
"I will set off fireworks on the other side later to disrupt the battlefield. Then, it will be up to you."
