Chapter 106: Ei: Does this knife of mine look suitable for making chopped pepper fish head?
Compared to being disappointed by the Raiden Shogun and being ignored from then on, the high-level officials of the Shogunate army are clearly more willing to cede some benefits to Watatsumi Island, even though this also makes them feel ashamed.
But benefits or something are not cut from their own bodies. When the time comes, there will naturally be Inazuman civilians to pay the bill. As for whether those commoners approve or not, this is none of their business. Anyway, they have the power to do so.
Sangonomiya Kokomi has great confidence in those guys in the Shogunate, to fight for benefits for Watatsumi Island without alarming the Raiden Shogun.
But now it has become different. But at this time, she can't do anything. Will the Raiden Shogun be alarmed?
Sangonomiya Kokomi's heart is full of worry. Looking at the resistance soldiers who don't know the specific situation and are even complacent because they have gained some advantages in small-scale wars, Sangonomiya Kokomi's heart is becoming more and more uneasy.
"Boom!" Just as Sangonomiya Kokomi was thinking about what to do next, a thunderclap exploded not far away. Everyone looked at it, looking at the purple figure that appeared abruptly on the battlefield, and then the people on the resistance side began to feel fear.
The Raiden Shogun, how could she appear here at this time?
It's just that Raiden Ei has no intention to explain anything to them at this time!?
"General!"
"It's the General who is here!"
"The eternal path is magnificent, Narukami is eternal!"
"The eternal path is magnificent, Narukami is eternal!" The Shogunate soldiers below don't know the twists and turns of the upper level. They don't even know that there have been problems behind Narukami Island.
After all, the high level will not explain anything to these people below.
After seeing the god they believe in, one by one they are like being beaten with chicken blood.
On the contrary, those high-level officials of the Tenryou Commission, especially the people of the Kujou Clan, felt a tightness in their hearts after seeing Raiden Ei. Why did the Raiden Shogun appear here?
Could it be that the information leaked?
This is not a good thing!
Listening to the carnival of the Shogunate army, Raiden Ei's heart couldn't be happy at all.
Once upon a time, she liked the scene of these soldiers shouting "The eternal path is magnificent, Narukami is eternal" in front of her.
She was also proud of it. This is the army of Inazuma.
But what about now?
Thinking of those guys in the Tenryou Commission who don't do human things, Raiden Ei's heart couldn't help but twitch.
"Where is Sangonomiya Kokomi?" Raiden Ei scanned the resistance soldiers in front of her, ignored their almost desperate faces, and said in a cold tone.
The resistance soldiers looked at Sangonomiya Kokomi in the crowd one after another.
At this time, even Sangonomiya Kokomi's supporters didn't know what to do.
Military Advisor, didn't you say before that the Raiden Shogun would not take action?
Why did the Raiden Shogun appear here at this time?
And it seems she is coming for you. How are we supposed to protect you?
At this time, even the people of Watatsumi Island are extremely nervous. Hand over Sangonomiya Kokomi?
This is impossible. Even some guys with bad intentions are unwilling to hand over Sangonomiya Kokomi. After all, Sangonomiya Kokomi is still the Divine Priestess. If there is no Sangonomiya Kokomi, it is impossible to organize the resistance army.
If there is no Sangonomiya Kokomi, the resistance army will become a plate of loose sand.
They couldn't imagine what Watatsumi Island would become without Sangonomiya Kokomi. Of course, it is also possible that because of the Raiden Shogun, their Watatsumi Island might completely cease to exist.
Looking at the suddenly arrived Raiden Shogun, Sangonomiya Kokomi is also bewildered at this moment. Although she has thought about the possibility that the Raiden Shogun would suddenly arrive, she knows that she has no way to solve the Raiden Shogun's problem.
After all, this woman is the Raiden Shogun who slew Orobashi!
If possible, Sangonomiya Kokomi would not want to be an enemy of the Raiden Shogun. This is an almost impossible opponent to defeat. It's just that there is no way, who told Watatsumi Island to have some big smart guys constantly inciting hatred between the two sides.
Some people even destroyed the wards of Yashiori Island just to hit the Shogunate side and to take revenge on Inazuma.
Yes, that's right, although there is no evidence, Sangonomiya Kokomi roughly guessed the truth of the matter.
Even starting a war against the Shogunate army was started by some people voluntarily. By the time Sangonomiya Kokomi knew about these things, it was already at the point where the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
Coupled with the Sakoku Decree, Watatsumi Island could not obtain food from the outside world. Watatsumi Island itself is barren. If they cannot obtain food from the outside, the residents of Watatsumi Island will also starve to death.
Sangonomiya Kokomi admits that she also had small thoughts that she shouldn't have. If they could win, could they get some benefits from the Shogunate side?
Human hearts are always greedy!
Sangonomiya Kokomi is also like this. What if she succeeds?
Combining the forces she can win over, it just so happens that there are many people on Narukami Island who oppose the Vision Hunt Decree and the Sakoku Decree, not aiming at opposing the Raiden Shogun's rule, just to fight against the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree, trying to let the Raiden Shogun see the wishes of the people, and make their side look a bit righteous.
At that time, even if the Raiden Shogun wants to take action against them, she has to consider it before taking action.
It's just that I didn't expect the Raiden Shogun to take action!
And she named me!
What can I do? Of course, go out and see her!
Sangonomiya Kokomi stepped forward and saluted Raiden Ei: "I have seen the Raiden Shogun."
"Does Watatsumi Island still want to continue to exist?" Raiden Ei looked at Sangonomiya Kokomi who walked to her calmly and asked indifferently.
This sentence shocked everyone, including Sangonomiya Kokomi.
They never expected that the Raiden Shogun would directly ask Sangonomiya Kokomi whether Watatsumi Island should continue to exist.
Even Sangonomiya Kokomi was shivering at this moment!
No one else dared to say anything bold. Even those Watatsumi Island people who were shouting very loudly before, wanting to overthrow the Shogunate rule and avenge Orobashi, didn't dare to say anything at this moment.
Everyone shouts slogans, but when facing the Raiden Shogun, whoever dares to shout is truly courting death.
"General, no, Watatsumi Island does not mean to oppose you, just to let the General see the wishes of the people. The Vision Hunt Decree and the Sakoku Decree are really too harmful to Inazuma." Sangonomiya Kokomi explained quickly.
Resisting the Raiden Shogun is impossible. Even if you resist, you can't say it out loud.
Sangonomiya Kokomi felt that if she said it, she would probably be chopped by this General into a chopped pepper fish head.
Thinking of this, Sangonomiya Kokomi was shivering. Even if the IQ is high, in front of absolute strength, it is just a floating cloud!
"The Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree were issued by the Kanjou Commission and the Tenryou Commission, deceiving the superior and hiding from the inferior, in my name. I don't know many of the details!" Raiden Ei said the lines she had agreed with Yae Miko before.
It's just that before the resistance side could be happy, Raiden Ei erupted with an astonishing aura. A terrifying aura suppressed everyone so they couldn't lift their heads, and there were countless thunderclouds gathering in the sky, "But you Watatsumi Island destroyed the wards of Yashiori Island, causing Orobashi's grudge to affect the entire Yashiori Island.
Back then, after slaying Orobashi, I didn't completely destroy you and gave you mercy. I didn't expect that you not only didn't feel grateful, but also wanted to rebel against the Shogunate!
It seems I was too merciful before!"
"General!" Sangonomiya Kokomi explained quickly: "We don't know about the wards!"
This pot must not be carried.
"This matter doesn't need to be wrong. I only give you three days to hand over those who destroyed the wards. All resistance soldiers must accept review. If they joined the resistance army to oppose the decrees and the Sakoku Decree, after review, all crimes will be exempted.
Dissolve all military forces of Watatsumi Island, and at the same time, Watatsumi Island accepts the direct management of the Shogunate.
Demolish all sacrificial temples of Orobashi, and you personally come to Narukami Island to plead guilty!
If it is not done well within three days, the entire Watatsumi Island will not be left with a chicken or a dog!" Raiden Ei said her conditions in a cold tone.
"Impossible! We are the subjects of Orobashi! How can we surrender to you!" At this time, a man in his fifties scolded Raiden Ei indignantly.
It's just that as soon as his voice fell, a lightning bolt fell from the sky, directly blowing him and the people nearby into coke.
At this time, everyone reacted. The Raiden Shogun didn't come to negotiate at all, but to notify!
Such words are no different from asking them how they want to die!
At this time, no one doubted whether Raiden Ei could do this. Look at the snake bones of Orobashi not far away.
Orobashi was not the opponent of the Raiden Shogun!
How could they be opponents?
And those who joined the resistance army because of the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Vision Hunt Decree and the Sakoku Decree are gone, so Inazuma can recover, right?
At least the General did not blame them.
But all the subjects of Watatsumi Island were shrouded in despair.
What should they do now?
This is different from what was expected at the beginning. Even those who shouted the loudest usually didn't dare to have any actions at this moment, but were worried about whether they would be liquidated.
They have ambition, and they want to get benefits from the Shogunate side, that's true, but if they really let them fight Raiden Ei, how dare they!?
