Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 523 Danbo
Outside Kyoto, the Japanese capital, the army gathered to support the king, and the military camps were brightly lit, forming a magnificent scene.

The survival of Japan is at stake, and the daimyo have shown unprecedented unity. They are waiting for the final integration before being sent to the front.

At nightfall, after finishing the day's military affairs, Sanada Ryumasa met with the Emperor to report on the progress.

The constant coughing sounds coming from behind the bamboo curtain seemed to symbolize that the life of this nominal supreme ruler of Japan had come to an end.

"Dazai, how is the progress of integrating the army? Ahem."

"Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty."

"Hmph!" Several volumes of war reports flew out from behind the bamboo curtain. "Look, another 28 lords from Tamba and Tango have submitted a petition, saying that their territories have been captured by the Western Sword School. In a short while, I'm afraid the Western Sword School will be laying siege to the city. What on earth are Minamoto Musashi and his Kamikaze Battalion doing? Cough cough cough cough"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I came here to report the latest situation. The armies of the daimyo from all over the country have already assembled outside Kyoto. It will only take three days to integrate and send them to the front. However."

"Dazai, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Ahem."

"It's just that the enemy fleet that attacked Sakai Port has not yet been found. Our navy was destroyed in the first round of invasion and has been unable to be rebuilt. Once all the troops are sent to the front, Kyoto is very likely to be attacked by surprise."

"Well, what you said, my dear, cough cough cough"

"Emperor, take care of yourself."

After a burst of rapid coughing, the Emperor said again: "My dear, if I hadn't told me that the Middle Earth is rich in resources, has talented people, but is constantly at odds with each other, and that this is a great opportunity for me to expand my territory in Japan and achieve eternal greatness, I would have sent troops to the Middle Earth. I didn't expect that this thief Iwado would actually collude with the Western Swords and sell out my intelligence on Japan, resulting in the annihilation of the previous two advance armies and the loss of the navy. Japan is even facing the danger of national destruction. Now that I think about it, it was too easy for Iwado to commit suicide by disembowelment."

Sanada Ryumasa consoled him, "The Emperor, please calm down. Our Japanese army has gathered and will be ready to march soon. Together with the Kamikaze Battalion led by Minamoto Musashi, we will surely be able to wipe out the Western Sword School. But what worries me is the Soul Burial Emperor's movements.

Then, Sanada Ryumasa expressed his concerns, "The frontline troops discovered that Huanchen Buwu's troops appeared among the Xijianliu's spiritual ninja troops, but this is still not enough for a force that can destroy our navy in one day. Once the Soul Burial Emperor leads the fleet to land in Osaka, they can attack Kyoto directly. The destruction of Sakai Port is a wake-up call."

"As Dazai said, what should we do?"

"We only need to send one-fifth of our troops to defend Osaka and other places, and Kyoto will be safe."

"Just do as Dazai wishes. Ahem, I'm tired. Please go down and rest, Dazai."

"Please take care, Emperor."

When Sanada Ryumasa came out of the palace, he saw a servant coming with medicine, so he stopped the servant.

Seeing that the attendant was handsome and had a natural aura of nobility, different from other attendants, he asked, "Excuse me, what is the name of this attendant? Why do you look so unfamiliar to me?"

"It is my honor to be in the eyes of the great Lord Dazai. My name is 'Shinmu Yingjie', and I am the chief attendant to the Emperor."

"So it's the Chamberlain. Please forgive me for my poor eyesight. The Chamberlain was chosen by the Emperor at such a young age. He was quite famous back then."

"I am honored to be honored by the Emperor's favor and serve you." Shenwu Yingjie said, "Please forgive me, Lord Dazai. It is time for the Emperor to take his medicine."

"Please." Sanada Ryumasa made way for the Shenwu Yingjie to leave.

After the Godly Warrior left, the guard beside Sanada Ryumasa, Shigui, asked, "Sir."

Sanada Ryumasa already knew what Eclipse was going to say, "I know what you are going to say. Why would I treat a little samurai like this?" "I don't understand."

"Do you know the surname 'Shenwu'?"

"This is the surname of the Emperor's family. Could it be that Shenwu Yingjie is..."

"Yes, this person is from the same lineage as the Emperor. The Emperor suffered from the demon sacrifice in his early years, so his health was not good and his offspring were not prosperous. In recent years, his offspring have died one after another, and the last one died three years ago. It was at that time that the Emperor announced that he would select a clan member from the royal family to serve as the head of the imperial family."

The Eclipse Ghost suddenly realized: "Could it be that the mighty hero is..."

"That's enough for now." Sanada Ryumasa waved his fan to stop Eclipse from continuing. "In fact, almost all the important people in Kyoto know about this matter. You are the only one who stays by my side day and night to guard me, and you don't know about it. The reason I told you is to prevent you from being impolite when you meet him in the future."

"Thank you, sir, for reminding me."

"Okay, let's go."

Sanada Ryumasa left the palace under the protection of the Eclipse Demon.

"Sir, where are we going next?"

Sanada Ryumasa in the sedan chair opened his folding fan and said, "Lift the sedan chair and head to the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"Yes."

Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
The leader of the Western Sword School, Enma Genjuro, led an army of tens of thousands of spiritual ninjas to attack Tamba Province, and they were unstoppable all the way.

In just a few days, they successively captured the six counties of Kuwata, Funai, Taki, Hyokami, Amada, and Kawaga, and were about to arrive near Kameyama.

"Reporting to the master, there is the famous Turtle Mountain ahead."

Flame Demon Genjuro said: "Okay, as long as we break through this place, we can enter the area of ​​​​Gyeonggi."

Then he asked, "Where did the priests march to?"

"As Tango Province is mostly mountainous, it is not conducive to the deployment of a large army. The lords in the country recognize the strength of the Western Sword School, and most of them defend the dangerous places, making it difficult for the priests to advance. It took a long time, and now they have captured four counties, including Takeno, Kumano, Yosa, and Naka-gun. They are resting at the Yura River in Kasa County. They will advance again soon."

Hearing this, Flame Demon Genjuro snorted coldly: "Hmph! A bunch of trash. The main master only led a small army and has already occupied the entire territory of Tamba. The high priest has more than 200,000 spiritual ninja troops from the Western Sword School, and entered Tango several days earlier than the main master. He also has the Four Heavenly Kings and the six divisions and other elite troops under his command, but he has not yet been able to capture the entire territory of Tango. What on earth do the priests do for a living? Do we really have to let the Soul King do it himself?"

Standing on both sides, the captain of the second of the eight gates of the Western Sword Ryu, Chidori Masaru, and the captain of the Kaimon, Tenma Michitaka, both apologized immediately, "Please forgive us, Master. It's because we received intelligence from Kyoto that Minamoto Musashi has led the Kamikaze Battalion and the 80,000 daimyo coalition army to the Yura River. For this reason, the military advisor suggested to the priest to suspend the attack and stop to rest, so as not to be taken advantage of by Minamoto Musashi, and prepare for a decisive battle with Minamoto Musashi's army at the Yura River."

"Humph! What can Minamoto Musashi do? The outcome is already decided. I don't believe he can reverse the situation by himself."

Tianman Michitaka continued to advise: "Master, it is better to be careful."

"What are you worried about? I have the magic armor given by the Soul Emperor to protect me. Even if I fight against Yuan Musashi again, I will definitely not be defeated like last time. Besides, the reason why I was defeated by him last time was because I came to this world not long ago and have not yet fully adapted to the spiritual energy here. If I can fight him now, I can wash away the shame of the last defeat!"

Thanks to Wu Mengsheng for the reward.

Thanks to Dutianshensha Zhoutianxingchen for the reward.
