Chapter 386

By comparison, Luo Li had a rather strong desire for control; perhaps it was because he had served as a national ruler so many times that it had almost formed a fixed mindset.

Facing Luo Li's threat, which was unclear whether it was a joke or serious, A-Qi said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "If you intend to do that, we will not sit idly by and wait for death."

Although she could tell from the Abyssal Sect's attitude that the person before her was not simple, if it came to a life-or-death struggle, who would care about such things?

"An interesting girl. I hope we have a chance to meet again in the future—though, of course, it would be best if it didn't cause trouble like this."

Perhaps out of an affection for the house and its crow, thinking of how the half-necklace Kokomi wore could form a whole with A-Qi's, Luo Li felt no ill will toward A-Qi.

"I only want to find a suitable place for the Dragon-Lizard clan to inhabit; I have no intention of causing trouble for others."

This was what A-Qi thought in her heart; as for the consequences that might ensue, she herself was completely unable to foresee them.

Just like this time, when she almost successfully cooperated with the Abyssal Sect, she was easily deceived and only realized it after the fact.

"You only want to survive, then..."

Frankly speaking, this was perfectly normal; everyone had the right to live. It was a pity that, often, the most basic conditions were a luxury.

Luo Li pondered for a moment and proposed: "Since that is the case, I have an idea. I wonder if you are interested."

A-Qi met his gaze, hesitated, looked back at the Dragon-Lizards who placed their full trust in her, and finally spoke softly to agree.

"Please, tell me."

…………

Tatarasuna!

"Phew, finally finished the mission."

Breathing a sigh of relief, Lumine and Paimon looked at each other, feeling extremely exhausted from running around these past few days.

Following the mission issued by Luo Li and Kokomi, they had secretly sabotaged the Shogunate army's logistics and supplies, as well as several defensive lines and strongholds.

It was fine at first, but later, the Shogunate army became increasingly vigilant, making it extremely difficult for them to strike.

Fortunately, the delay mission took effect; for some unknown reason, the Shogunate army's manpower had decreased significantly, and they only knew that most of them were stationed at blockades.

Keeping the news in mind, Lumine prepared to return to the Resistance's frontline base to report the situation to General Gorou.

"With this, the Shogunate army probably won't be able to organize an effective war within half a month."

Setting fire to their grain and various resources—Lumine and Paimon were simply top-tier at causing destruction.

"Mm, we can also find Mr. Luo Li to fulfill the conditions he promised us, and everything he kept from us will finally be unveiled."

Thinking that she would finally no longer have to be like a fool, knowing nothing, Lumine was very happy.

"Hey, what do you think the treasure Mr. Luo Li will give us is?"

The little money-grubber Paimon thought of treasures and Mora first.

Lumine hesitated: "Perhaps in the end, it will be another empty promise."

She had experienced this more than once or twice; they would talk about treasure, but in the end, she would get nothing.

"Ah? No way."

Lumine shrugged; until the answer was revealed, who knew?

However, Luo Li was still somewhat different from others.

Although they were all seeking a tool, he at least set a clear price, while others only knew how to play the emotional card.

Damn it! Bullying her for being an honest person!

Chatting away, the two passed through the Shogunate army's territory and returned to Higi Village on Yashiori Island.

Here, they met General Gorou again.

Clearly, he was very satisfied with the mission the two had completed.

"If Her Excellency Sangonomiya knew, she would definitely promote you."

After praising them, Gorou seemed to remember something and said: "Right, I almost forgot. Since you arrived, two more powerful helpers have come. They seem very interested in how you escaped the Raiden Shogun's hands. Would you like to meet them?"

Paimon put her hands on her hips and said proudly: "Are they our admirers?"

She and Lumine were one; the two of them had joined forces to escape the Raiden Shogun.

It was similar to her and the others repelling the Vortex Archon—they had all made "huge contributions"!

Gorou hesitated: "I'm not too sure, but the other party hopes to meet you. Their attitude is quite friendly, though."

"Then that's no problem! They're probably people who admire us! Hehe, this time I must try to appear a bit more humble!"

·· ·Seeking flowers 0 ···

Paimon couldn't help but stomp her feet when she thought of something happy.

Lumine glanced at her; whenever the emergency food said this, it never ended well.

"If it's just to meet, I have time."

Although she had to return to Watatsumi Island to see Luo Li soon, before that, a simple meeting wouldn't waste much time.

Gorou also knew her thoughts and smiled: "They are also heading to Watatsumi Island. They have made great contributions during this time and need to be rewarded by Her Excellency Sangonomiya in person. You can travel together."

"Eh, what did they do?" Paimon was a bit curious.

"They joined forces to repel Kujou Sara and won a war head-on for the first time. Besides that, they also helped train soldiers and with tactics..."

.... 0 0

Speaking of this, Gorou immediately became eloquent.

Such talent—in terms of ability alone, even he might not compare.

"Especially Miss Chiyo, she is simply born for war!"

Hearing him brag so much, Paimon was stunned; it turned out they were so powerful after all.

Lumine felt it was fine and spoke up: "In that case, arrange for us to be together. I can even take them to Watatsumi Island on the way."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Although a major war wouldn't break out on the front line rashly, it was best not to let one's guard down, otherwise, it would be bad if an accident happened.

For this, Gorou thanked Lumine for her thoughtfulness.

In any case, she was a trusted person, so it didn't matter if she acted as the leader.

After discussing it, Gorou immediately went out to find Luo Chiyo and Asase Hibiki.

Then, he found Chiyo at the training ground, scolding the Sangonomiya soldiers until they were as quiet as quails.

Her cold and ruthless temperament made people afraid to resist, not even having a trace of defiance.

The Oni girl's irritability and arrogance overflowed from her bones, not allowing others to question her.

Facing the low-quality Resistance soldiers, Chiyo unexpectedly forgot that they were enemies and quickly entered the role of a general.

It wasn't until Gorou gave a light cough that she was startled awake.

Just as Chiyo frowned coldly, one sentence smoothed out her irritability.

"Miss Chiyo, the Traveler has returned." Three. ===== CHAPTER 388 =====
