The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 341 Aftermath

Seven days have passed since the battle ended, and under Violet's command and coordination, the reconstruction of the Flower Capital is proceeding intensively, and it is now halfway through.

On the streets, workers busily moved about, carrying building materials and repairing damaged houses and facilities.

However, although everything seemed to be progressing smoothly on the surface, the people of Wano Country did not feel at ease.

After all, they are now ruled by a complete outsider.

The uncertainty of the future has filled everyone with worry and fear.

Some people could not bear the inner torment any longer, so they secretly fled the City of Flowers. They packed simple belongings and, under the cover of night, quietly headed out of the city.

Without encountering any obstacles, more and more people were fleeing.

After learning about the situation in the Flower Capital, the daimyo of the five regions of Kuri, Nozomi, Udon, Hakumai, and Suzugo quickly united to form a joint army.

These daimyo didn't dare to confront Kurozumi Orochi, who rightfully inherited the position of shogun and had Kaido's backing.

But now the situation is different. Faced with Wes, an intruder from the outside world, the greater good is clearly on their side.

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

Thus, under the call and organization of the daimyo, an army of ten thousand men was quickly assembled.

The massive army marched towards the City of Flowers.

While the Allied forces were still full of ambition and had not yet arrived in the City of Flowers.

They then encountered eight seraphim who were already waiting there in full force.

When the Allied warriors saw that there were only eight seemingly young children blocking their way, they all showed contemptuous and mocking expressions.

These few kids dare to try and block the path of their army of ten thousand?

That's simply overestimating themselves.

The warriors' wariness vanished instantly, replaced by utter contempt and arrogance.

However, the seraphim had no time to pay attention to the warriors' mockery. Their orders were to stop the army's advance, and without a word, they decisively charged towards the warrior army.

The samurai still didn't take the children seriously. In their eyes, this was just an easy battle, and they were even planning how to show off their bravery in the battle so they could boast to their fellow villagers when they got back.

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

The seraphim's attacks were swift and fierce, each strike carrying immense power and precise skill. They easily broke through the warriors' defenses, cutting the army into a rout and leaving them in a sorry state.

The warriors were horrified to discover that they were utterly powerless against these children. Their companions fell one after another, their blood splattering like a fountain, quickly turning the nearby land a glaring red.

In this brutal battle, most of the warriors perished on the spot. In the end, only a few hundred warriors, amidst extreme panic and chaos, fought with all their might and managed to escape in a sorry state during a lull in the Seraphim's attacks.

They ran frantically, gripped by fear that clung to them like a demon. Their former ambitions had vanished without a trace, replaced by a deep dread of the Seraphim and despair for the future.

This incredibly brutal battle was broadcast live, with the footage transmitted to every corner of Wano Country via snails.

Whether in bustling towns or remote villages, the people of Wano Country witnessed firsthand the merciless slaughter of their samurai, whom they were usually so proud of.

"How could this happen?"

An old man stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, his cane trembling slightly with shock.

"Wano Country is finished."

A young mother held her child, crying desperately, her eyes filled with helplessness and fear.

The entire country of Wano was instantly shrouded in gloom, and the horrific scene directly shattered the unwavering confidence of the people of Wano.

The five daimyo were equally astonished. They had confidently believed their meticulously organized and formidable army would reach the Flower Capital smoothly and engage in a fierce battle with Wes. Even if they couldn't defeat him immediately, they were at least capable of putting up a fight. But they never imagined their army would be so easily annihilated. Their former ambitions shattered like bubbles, vanishing without a trace. They were plunged into deep panic, their minds blank, completely at a loss, and could only watch helplessly as the situation spiraled out of control.

Wes issued bounties for five daimyo, with no regard for their lives.

The huge reward amount acted like a giant magnet, attracting the attention of many people.

In the eyes of some people in Wano Country, who rules the country doesn't seem to matter that much; what matters is obtaining the hefty bounty.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

As a result, the once high-ranking and respected daimyo instantly became stray dogs that everyone wanted to beat.

They fled in all directions, carefully avoiding the pursuers who came for the bounty. Their former glory was gone, replaced by a disheveled and dejected state, like frightened birds hiding and running in and out of the land of Wano Country.

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

With the full assistance of their loyal subordinates, they barely managed to evade wave after wave of arrests.

Left with no other choice, they could only hide in the deep mountains and forests, living a precarious existence, constantly fearing that their tracks would be discovered.

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

Driven by loyalty to their former master and discontent with the status quo of Wano Country, they formed the final resistance organization.

Led by Kozuki Oden's daughter, Komurasaki, they successfully gathered a group of like-minded individuals.

However, Oden's series of actions that seemed idiotic to ordinary people, along with Orochi's 20 years of meticulous smear campaign, left him with little good impression on the people of Wano Country.

As a result, the once illustrious Kozuki family's reputation and status in Wano Country have plummeted, becoming infamous.

When ordinary people heard that it was the Kozuki family who were organizing the rebellion, they didn't have much support or expectation in their hearts. Instead, they were more confused and wait-and-see.
