The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 341 Afterwards
Seven days have passed since the end of the battle. Under Violet's command and dispatch, the reconstruction of the Flower City is proceeding in full swing and is now halfway completed.

On the streets, workers were busy moving around, carrying construction materials and repairing damaged houses and facilities.

However, although everything seems to be progressing in an orderly manner, the people of Wano Country do not feel at ease.

After all, the one who rules them now is a complete outsider.

The uncertainty about the future fills everyone's hearts with worry and fear.

Some people really couldn't stand this kind of inner torment, so they secretly fled the Flower City. They packed up their simple bags and quietly walked out of the city under the cover of night.

Without encountering any obstruction, more and more people fled.

After the daimyos of the five regions of Kuri, Hime, Usagi, Hakumai, and Suzugo learned of the situation in the Flower Capital, they quickly united and formed a joint army.

These daimyos did not have the courage to fight against Kurozumi Orochi, who was the rightful successor to the position of shogun and had the support of Kaido.

But the situation is different now. Facing the foreign invader Weiss, justice is obviously on their side.

They firmly believed that with their own strength and prestige, they would be able to drive Weiss out of Wano Country and restore Wano Country's former peace and tranquility.

Therefore, under the call and organization of the daimyos, an army of 10,000 people was quickly assembled.

The army marched towards the Flower City in a mighty manner.

When the allied forces were still full of ambition and had not yet arrived at the Flower City.

Then they encountered eight Seraphim who had been waiting there for a long time.

When the warriors of the coalition forces saw that there were only eight seemingly young children blocking the way, they all showed contempt and ridicule on their faces.

Just relying on these few kids, they think they can stop the advance of their army of tens of thousands?
It's simply overestimating one's capabilities.

The warriors' vigilance instantly disappeared, replaced by contempt and arrogance.

However, the Seraphim had no time to pay attention to the warriors' ridicule. The order they received was to stop the army from advancing. Without saying a word, they decisively rushed towards the warrior army.

The warriors still did not take these children seriously. In their eyes, this was just a battle that could be easily ended. They were even planning how to show their bravery in the battle so that they could show off to their fellow villagers when they returned.

But as soon as the battle began, they realized how wrong they were.

The Seraphim's attacks were swift and fierce. Every move was made with great strength and precise skills, just like cutting melons and vegetables. They easily broke through the warriors' defenses and killed the warrior army, leaving them in disarray and in a state of disarray.

The warriors were horrified to find that they were completely powerless in front of these children. Their companions kept falling down, and blood splattered like a fountain, soon dyeing the nearby land a glaring red.

In this brutal battle, most of the warriors died on the spot. In the end, only a few hundred warriors, in extreme panic and chaos, tried their best to escape in the gaps between the attacks of the Seraphim.

They ran furiously, their hearts gripped by fear like a demon. Their former ambitions vanished without a trace, replaced by a deep fear of the Seraph and despair for the future. This brutal battle was broadcast live, the footage beamed to every corner of Wano Country via snails.

Whether in prosperous towns or remote villages, the people of Wano Country witnessed with their own eyes the ruthless slaughter of the samurai they were proud of.

"How could this be?"

An old man opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, and the cane in his hand trembled slightly with shock.

"Wano Country is finished."

A young mother held her child and cried desperately, her eyes full of helplessness and fear.

The entire Wano Country was instantly shrouded in a haze, and the horrific scene directly shattered the original firm confidence in the hearts of the Wano people.

The five daimyo were equally stunned. They had fully expected their meticulously organized, mighty armies to successfully reach the Flower Capital and engage Weiss in a fierce battle. Even if they couldn't defeat him outright, they would at least be able to fight. But they had never imagined their army would be annihilated so easily. Their once-lofty ambitions shattered like bubbles, dissipating without a trace. For a moment, they were plunged into deep panic, their minds blank, completely lost. They could only watch helplessly as the situation took a turn for the worse, powerless to intervene.

Weiss issued a bounty order for the five daimyo, regardless of life or death.

The high reward amount was like a huge magnet, attracting the attention of many people.

In the eyes of some people in Wano Country, it doesn’t seem to matter who rules the country. What matters is being able to obtain the generous reward.

As a result, the daimyos who were once high and mighty and respected were instantly reduced to stray dogs that everyone wanted to kill.

They fled everywhere, carefully avoiding the pursuers who came for the bounty. The glory of the past was gone, replaced by embarrassment and desolation. They hid in the land of Wano Country like a frightened bird.

These daimyos have been operating in Wano Country for many years. As local tyrants, they know every mountain, river, and every hidden corner of this land like the back of their hand.

With the full assistance of their loyal subordinates, they barely avoided the wave after wave of capture.

In desperation, they could only hide in the deep mountains and forests, living a miserable life, worried every day for fear of being discovered.

At this moment, Kozuki Oden's retainers, who had been hiding for nearly 20 years, suddenly became active.

Out of loyalty to their former master and dissatisfaction with the current situation in Wano Country, they established the last resistance organization.

They were led by Kozuki Oden's daughter Murasaki, and they also successfully gathered some like-minded people.

However, Kozuki Oden's series of idiotic actions, which seemed idiotic to ordinary people, and Kurozumi Orochi's deliberate smear campaign for 20 years did not leave a good impression on the people of Wano Country.

Under such circumstances, the reputation and status of the once prominent Kozuki family in Wano Country has plummeted and become notorious.

When many ordinary people heard that it was the Kozuki family who were organizing the rebellion, they did not have much support or expectations in their hearts, but were more confused and wait-and-see.
