Chapter 207: Arrived at the resistance stronghold! The Traveler is going to rebel today!

The three of them acted immediately.

However, Thoma didn't plan to go to the resistance with them because he had his own place to go.

If his identity as the Kamisato Clan's housekeeper was exposed, it would be over if they suspected him of being a spy.

No matter how good he was at managing relationships with others, if there was a loophole in himself, there was no way.

"Then, Thoma, goodbye!"

After the Traveler and Paimon said goodbye solemnly, they headed toward the border of Narukami Island without looking back.

Fortunately, because the waterfall flowed into the river, their speed was faster than the Shogunate troops; maybe they would run into officers on the road who had received the news, but the number shouldn't be large.

"Where are we going to find the resistance?"

After only the two were left, Paimon asked in a low voice, looking around.

She was afraid that Shogunate troops would suddenly pop out from somewhere, shouting to catch the two and take them back to earn merit.

"Let's get to Tatarasuna first; maybe we can find news of the resistance there."

Since the front line was there, they could always find the organization.

It would be a bit troublesome if they were treated as spies.

But there's always a way, and it's better than being caught here.

There are always more solutions than difficulties.

After discussing, the two traveled through the wilderness, afraid of being discovered.

They traveled through Narukami Island, sneaked through Kannazuka, and arrived at Tatarasuna.

During this time, the two also solved two groups of pirates and ronin samurai who were blocking the road.

However, when passing through Tatarasuna, the Traveler found that there seemed to be a very important secret place here, with some kind of mechanical creation floating above the purple valley.

And this place was heavily guarded, and there were some Electro barriers around, which should have been set up by some Onmyoji.

While sneaking through, the Traveler heard some guards mention the name "Mikage Furnace," and their tone was quite worried, as if they were afraid of the safety of this thing.

Not quite understanding the role of the Mikage Furnace, she and Paimon passed through Tatarasuna, which was temporarily free of war, and headed toward Yashiori Island along Nazuchi Beach.

On the way, they heard Shogunate soldiers talking about the two, and it seemed that capturing them alive could lead to a promotion to the Tri-Commission.

Paimon couldn't help but click her tongue: "So we are worth so much?"

She even wanted to sell herself.

"Alright, don't make any noise."

The Traveler was unmoved by her value, but heard the Shogunate soldiers mention that the resistance had been driven to the northwest of Musoujin Gorge.

Having received the news, the two rushed to Musoujin Gorge on Yashiori Island.

On the way, they saw that the originally clear seawater at Nazuchi Beach had become turbid, stained with a trace of blood.

Even the plants on the roadside were filled with fierce energy, and some plants that had drunk their fill of blood turned blood-red, emitting the sweet, fishy smell unique to human blood.

"How many people died here!"

Paimon didn't dare to look, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air.

This was an anomaly caused by blood seeping into the soil.

The Traveler's expression wasn't very good either, and she whispered: "According to the news, we'd better go to the resistance's temporary stronghold, Fujitou Village."

According to the chats of the Shogunate soldiers they eavesdropped on along the way, they learned that the resistance's rear base was behind Musoujin Gorge, and if they wanted to defect, it was best to enter it.

As for whether they would believe the two, the Traveler had a special way.

Coming all the way, she not only rushed on the road but also kept the deployment and garrison details of the Shogunate troops in her heart, and could draw a map at any time.

I think this must be a timely gift.

For the resistance, which was weak on the front line and retreating steadily, this move was no less than doubling the reinforcements.

Therefore, the Traveler was not worried about being recognized as a spy, or rather, being refused to join the resistance.

Perhaps all the bad luck had been used up, and the luck finally turned.

On the way, the Traveler saw a team of isolated resistance soldiers surrounded and trapped by the Shogunate troops.

The blonde girl's eyes lit up immediately; defecting generally meant offering a map, but if someone could help speak for them, I think it would be easier to integrate.

So she didn't hesitate at all and directly beat the Shogunate team until they lost their combat effectiveness.

For some reason, she hesitated and didn't take their lives.

Afterwards, she learned from these people that they were members of the resistance's Shrimp Squad, and one of them was named Teppei.

This team had just been transferred to the front line, but they almost died before they could succeed, which was truly a joke.

Later, hearing that the Traveler and Paimon were actually here to defect to the understaffed resistance, and also possessed the strength to manipulate elemental power, Teppei was overjoyed.

Because although those who didn't want their Visions taken away all joined the resistance, they were still inferior compared to the Shogunate troops.

And the difference in personnel and territory made the number of soldiers also very different; if it weren't for the clever plans that appeared repeatedly on the front line, I'm afraid the resistance would have been defeated long ago.

Now that they had gained fresh strength, although not much, every bit counted, and the resistance couldn't afford to be picky.

Just like Teppei at this moment, he said very happily: "¨． Great, I must introduce you to General Gorou! But this is not the place to talk, let's leave first!"

With people to vouch for them, the Traveler and Paimon followed them through several protective fences and checkpoints of the resistance, and finally arrived at the Fujitou Village stronghold.

Although it wasn't the resistance's rear base, it was clearly much safer, and they didn't have to worry about being caught by the Shogunate troops at any time.

At this point, Paimon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Teppei was indeed very helpful, bringing the two to see the General Gorou he mentioned without any discount, and telling the ins and outs of how he was saved.

In normal times, perhaps Gorou would still be hesitant, worried that this was a trap set by the Shogunate troops, specifically using a bitter-meat trick to numb the resistance's sense of smell.

But the moment he saw the Traveler and Paimon, Gorou, who recognized them, immediately felt relieved.

"No wonder you could save my soldiers; it turns out to be the blonde Traveler and the mysterious flying pet wanted by Inazuma City."

Paimon was so angry at this "mysterious flying pet" that she stomped her feet and shouted a rebuttal.

"Not a flying pet!"

The Traveler interjected: "Actually, it's emergency food."

"That's right, actually it's emergency... Hey! It's not emergency food either! You two, you're really making me angry!"

With such a joke, the heavy feeling of the war not going well was instantly relieved.
