Inazuma is currently going through a turbulent time, and even Ayato Kamisato's biggest ally seems to be getting restless.
What will happen next... no one can see clearly anymore.
As time went by, news came back from the final chapter that a dragon lizard had invaded, but everything was fine.
The handwriting is indeed from the final chapter, as is the seal; everything looks normal.
For some reason, Ayato Kamisato felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Chapter 208 To secure internal stability, one must first quell external aggression.
While Ayato Kamisato was still pondering where things went wrong, Umijima had already finalized their battle plan.
At the latest meeting, not only Jiang Ming and Xin Hai were present, but also Wu Lang, Alice, Sergei, Xavier, and other high-ranking members of the ICP party and Coral Palace, especially the heads of various departments.
"...In conclusion, Xin Hai and I agree that we have the necessary conditions and the time is ripe. It is time to completely overthrow the corrupt and dark rule of the Shogunate."
From its historical context to its recent developments, and then to its inevitability, necessity, and feasibility, as well as contingency plans for a series of issues after its implementation, Jiang Ming provided a comprehensive explanation of this action plan.
Goro, Alice, Xavier, and the others were alright.
One unconditionally supports Xin Hai, another is someone who deliberately stayed behind to watch the show, and the third, after analyzing and even mastering the power of the gods, no longer regards them as any kind of god.
This is going to be quite exciting for the rest of the group.
They didn't expect it to be for real.
During this period, after severing ties with the shogunate-controlled areas, they first took control of the people of the Shumoban, who were their long-time allies, and then the propaganda department extensively reported on the shogunate's dark rule and various atrocities.
The aim is to use the most authentic stories and the simplest language to evoke the greatest empathy in order to support their need to attack the shogunate and fully liberate Inazuma.
Fortunately, after such a long period of downplaying and guidance, they have now begun to criticize the general, and there has been no major unrest among the people.
For most of the people who fled from the Shogunate region to Umijima Island, the Shogun was a very distant concept, and only a few of the newcomers still remembered him fondly.
On ordinary days, the general was rarely mentioned on Haiji Island, and no celebrations or similar events were organized.
Most people's impression is still that they were starving or suffered some other hardships in the areas controlled by the shogunate under the shogun's rule.
Public opinion shifted dramatically from long-standing criticism of the shogunate and downplaying of the gods to attacking the shogunate and criticizing the Raiden Shogun.
In particular, he bluntly pointed out that the shogunate was already corrupt and the political power of Inazuma was rotten to the core. He also pointed out that the nobles, led by the Kujo family, were the culprits behind the two-and-a-half-year dark period in Inazuma.
It is also the biggest and most serious culprit that causes countless people to suffer from hunger, displacement, and even lose their lives and loved ones.
The corrupt and decadent nobles must be purged, and the decadent shogunate has completely lost its reason for existence.
As the supreme ruler of Inazuma, Raiden Shogun chose to establish the shogunate to directly govern the people of Inazuma, but he turned a blind eye to the actions of the shogunate and remained indifferent, causing harm to countless people of Inazuma. This was a complete dereliction of duty, and he failed to live up to the trust of the people of Inazuma. He must be held accountable for the actions of the shogunate.
With such strong, sharp, and direct language, many people guessed at the time that they might be about to take action.
But they still couldn't believe what they were thinking.
As the propaganda states, the shogunate was established by Raiden Shogun and carries out his will. The nobles were originally appointed by the shogun and their positions have been passed down through generations.
To challenge this system and purge those nobles is tantamount to directly challenging General Thunder.
Not to mention the later statements regarding General Raiden's serious dereliction of duty and the need to hold him accountable.
This is completely different from their current political affiliation with the Shabugyō (Shabe Magistrate), which is ultimately a civil war within the shogunate.
Are they really going to challenge the Thunder's dominance?
Now they are convinced.
Jiang Ming's meaning was very clear.
However, at the same time, scientific data was used to compare the two sides, clearly demonstrating the feasibility, and sufficient backup plans and contingency measures were also prepared.
As high-ranking officials, they were well aware that more and more new equipment had indeed been put into use recently, and they had been busy deploying these things.
Those who had not received prior notice were sweating profusely and hesitant to take action as the voting session began.
Xin Hai, Jiang Ming, Wu Lang, and the others cast their votes in favor early on.
As time went on, people began to make corresponding decisions.
For, against, or abstain.
Of course, this doesn't include Alice, who's just here to enjoy the show.
Ultimately, abstentions were the most frequent, but the votes in favor outweighed those against.
"The voting results are in, and the action will be carried out immediately. In any case, the opportunity to object has been given. Now that it has passed, I hope everyone can cooperate fully to make Umijima, or perhaps Inazuma in the future, a machine that can operate smoothly."
The crowd remained silent, with only a few who agreed nodding in response.
Jiang Ming didn't say much. After all, the filter of a god is too powerful, so it's understandable.
Let's skip to the next point.
"Before that, there was another point. The Fools' factory has long been located on our Ba Yun Island, and Fools' executives have been stationed inside for a long time. In particular, recently, we received news that the Fools' executive, a woman, has also arrived here. This small factory has gathered three executives, who are plotting to violently interfere with us."
"The strongest among them already possesses the power of a demon god, which is a major variable for our operations."
"I propose that before we officially begin our operation, we eliminate this thorn in our side. It would be a good opportunity to conduct a live-fire exercise and test our combat capabilities."
Those present had no objections and were quite supportive, passing the resolution unanimously.
This suited their purposes perfectly.
If they can't even defeat the Fatui Enforcers, then there's no point in continuing; they should just go somewhere cool and stay away.
As for the Fools' retaliation? In any case, the Fools will probably not dare to be too reckless in Inazuma territory.
Only Jiang Ming and Xin Hai knew the real reason for the decision to take action against the Fools: the Ice Queen had recently gone to the old man again to ask for the Heart of God, only to be told by the old man that it had already been sold.
Ice Queen: "?"
The old man was very considerate and subtly reminded the Ice Queen: Stop, Ancestor, there are Jackie Chans everywhere outside.
Ice Queen: "??"
Then, they asked the Wind God, only to be told that it had been given away.
Ice Queen: "???"
Unwilling to accept this, and not understanding the old man's hint, the Ice Queen sent people to investigate, only to find that it had fallen into Jiang Ming's hands.
The lady was originally sent to seize the Heart of the Wind God, but now she has to come to Inazuma ahead of schedule.
There's no way around it; this person already has two God Hearts, and his army is quite formidable. Relying solely on the Doctor and the skirmisher might not be enough to ensure success.
If the clown and the captain hadn't had other commitments, they probably would have come in person.
As far as Jiang Ming was concerned, since the Fools were already plotting to violently seize his God's Heart anyway, he might as well strike first.
Chapter 209 Ambush
"boom--"
A dull thud echoed, and the Evil Eye Factory within the mountain trembled.
In an office in the factory, the doctor, the soldier, and the woman, who were gathered together discussing their action plan, were drenched in dust that fell from the ceiling.
"Does Inazuma experience so many earthquakes? How come your factory didn't have any safety measures?"
The woman frowned and brushed the dust off her clothes, looking quite disgusted.
The doctor and the stragglers exchanged a glance.
Something is wrong!
It didn't look like an earthquake, it looked like an explosion.
Unlike the woman who had just arrived in Inazuma, both of them had personally experienced the kind of explosions that the Umi-Gi army had made up close.
The two had a bad feeling.
"Send someone immediately to find out what happened."
The doctor stood up and gave a few instructions to the Fools soldiers outside the door.
"what happened?"
The woman realized from the doctor's actions that things were not so simple.
"I don't know, I hope it's not what I think," the doctor said in a deep voice.
If that happens, the other party will be on guard, and they will be in trouble.
"Executor...Executor! It's terrible! The Sea God Army has broken in! The explosion just now was them blowing open the gate. They're all robots, each with an elemental shield. We can't do anything to them. They're heading this way now!"
"Well……"
The news that the doctor least wanted to hear still came.
The other party not only knew about the news, but also struck first.
"Heh, it's just some scrap metal. Do you need my help?"
The woman acted very arrogantly about this.
They're just robots, aren't they? She'd seen them all before in Mondstadt, nothing special.
The doctor looked at the woman, then at the stragglers.
"You two go together and teach them a lesson. I'll think of another way to deal with Jiang Ming."
In the doctor's opinion, the Sea God Army was not a concern at all. Even if they had those powerful weapons, the combined strength of the skirmishers and the lady was not enough to pose any threat.
Jiang Ming, who possesses two God Hearts, must already have the power of a Demon God, making him the primary threat.
The woman and the soldier didn't argue with the doctor any further. Instead, they left the office and sped off towards the place where the Sea God Army and the Fools were fighting.
With the combined strength of the woman and the soldier, the few robots that had stormed into the factory and were fighting in the alley were no threat at all, and they were dealt with in no time.
However, both the soldier and the woman were extremely surprised.
These robots are much stronger than the last ones in Mondstadt.
Moreover, although the weapons in his hands looked the same, he could feel the fluctuations of lightning element, and their power was much stronger.
