Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"Captain, you actually managed to snag this mission! That's amazing!"

"Yeah, yeah, I was so envious of the military merits those squads got the other day. Now it's finally our turn."

Amidst their laughter and conversation, the shogunate soldiers in this small squad showed no sign of tension. Perhaps they were all family members who had come to gain experience, as the squad's discipline was not strict. They chatted and laughed without any sign of an ambush, seemingly more like celebrating their military achievements in advance.

"Alright, everyone, lie in ambush properly. When the rebels arrive, don't try to take the rebel squad leader from me."

"Yes, yes, Captain, you're definitely going to get the lion's share."

Amidst a chorus of compliments, the squad leader contentedly continued his ambush. Little did they know, their actions were clearly observed by the main force of the rebel army and the shogunate army from above.

Ayato Kamisato looked at the shogunate army with a smile. He saw many familiar faces among them. Ever since the Kamisato family fell from grace, the second generation of these families had rarely associated with him.

I thought I would never see them again, but I never expected to meet them again in this way. Fate is so unpredictable. However, if something were to happen to them here, even Kujo Sara would have a headache.

Ayato Kamisato glanced at the expressionless Kujo Sara and was surprised to find that Kujo Sara did not seem to be worried about the safety of these people. Ayato Kamisato was taken aback at first, but quickly realized that Kujo Sara was not a member of the Kujo family. She was a general who was only loyal to the shogun.

If those families really come looking for trouble with Kujo Sara, they'll definitely be in deep trouble. Kujo Sara isn't the kind of person who would grovel and apologize.

"General Kujo, why did you choose a group of people like this to ambush us? Aren't you afraid they'll give themselves away?"

"It was precisely because I was worried they would give themselves away that I didn't tell them any of the battle plans."

Kujo Sara explained in a cold tone, and Ayato Kamisato chuckled twice and didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that this group must have done something to displease Kujo Sara, otherwise Kujo Sara wouldn't have entrusted such a dangerous mission to them.

Actually, Ayato really misunderstood Sara this time. Sara's reason for choosing this squad as bait wasn't as complicated as he thought. It was just that the squad's captain had asked Kujo Sara to let their squad go this time, and Sara thought about it and agreed. After all, it was just bait, and a squad with little combat power was the most suitable.

To prevent traitors from leaking information within the shogunate army, Sara told the squad that they were merely ambushing the rebels. Because of this, the squad behaved somewhat carelessly, which dispelled the last doubts of Shinkai and his group who were lying in ambush in the distance.

"Lord Xinhai, our men are already heading towards Haiqi Island with supply wagons containing hidden weapons. If all goes well, they will arrive at their target location in five minutes."

After calculating the time, the rebel general Goro respectfully reported the situation to Coral Palace Kokoro, the leader of Umijima Island. Kokoro nodded slightly and said softly.

"Goro, pass on the word: begin assembling on the beach. Try to capture those shogunate soldiers alive; we need to use them to make a deal with the shogunate."

"If the operation goes well, we won't have to worry about food for a long time to come, and then we will be able to support more soldiers."

With his eyes fixed on the shogunate army he deeply hated, Xin Hai seemed more like a moving supply depot.

Upon receiving the order, Goro immediately began to notify the resistance fighters who were lurking high on the island of Haigi. The opportunity was rare, and even without Goro's morale-boosting efforts, the resistance fighters were in high spirits.

After all, many of the rebels were not native residents of Haiji Island, and they couldn't stand eating seafood every day. It would be great if they could change their diet. If possible, these people even hoped that there would be more shogunate troops to exchange for more food.

Chapter 285 The Battle Begins

"The rebels have already started moving. Tsk, it seems their actual numbers are far greater than those reported in the bulletins."

Ayato Kamisato was somewhat surprised to see the densely packed rebels not far away. He had thought that the number of people reported by the final battle was already enough, but he did not expect that the little girl, Kokoro Sango, had hidden some troops somewhere.

If it weren't for her grand ambitions today, she probably wouldn't have exposed those hidden soldiers. Kujo Sara glanced at the rebels, and as she expected, those wanted by the shogunate because of their divine eyes were indeed mixed in with the rebels.

"Approach the battlefield, partially encircle the rebels, and kill the rest, except for Coral Palace Heart Sea and that general named Goro."

Besides her superb martial arts skills and unwavering loyalty, Kujo Sara, who could become a general, was not as kind-hearted as Lady Ayaka. She believed that anyone who stood in the way of the general was an enemy and that enemies must die.

Ayato Kamisato, standing to the side, pulled out a cup of milk tea from his sleeve and took a couple of sips. Hmm, this cucumber milk tea should be left for Thomas. Judging by the time, the Final Anime's operation on Umijima Island should have begun by now.

Ayato narrowed his eyes and silently apologized to the officials at all levels of Umijima. In order to prevent his lovely sister from being implicated in the crime of supporting the resistance, it would be better for these insiders to disappear from this world. As for whether Umijima would descend into chaos? He didn't think Kujo Sara would let Sango Mikoto escape in this battle.

With their own boss captured, chaos on Umijima Island was inevitable. As for Ayato Kamisato, he merely escalated the chaos to a new level. He was definitely not the mastermind behind it all.

Just as both sides were taking action, the Shogunate army squad acting as bait on the beach finally spotted the resistance transport squad, which was also acting as bait.

The shogunate army squad's utterly unskilled ambush was immediately spotted by the experienced veterans of the resistance transport squad. As the distance between the two decoys drew closer, a greedy smile appeared on the faces of both decoys.

"Looks like I'll be able to achieve something great this time." x2

The same thought occurred to both groups of people at the same time. As the rebels continued to approach, the shogunate army squad leader was so excited that he almost rushed out. After finally enduring until the rebels reached the designated location, the shogunate army squad leader rushed out from the ambush site.

"Brothers, charge! Capture these rebels alive and claim the credit!"

Seeing a small squad of Shogunate soldiers charging towards them, the rebels immediately pulled out various weapons from the supply wagons and distributed them. In just a few breaths, the rebels were fully armed.

This left the shogunate army squad leader at the front somewhat bewildered. Weren't these rebels supposed to run away as soon as they saw the shogunate army? Why were these rebels all drawing their weapons, looking like they wanted to fight them to the death?

"Congratulations, young master, you're about to make a great contribution this time."

A retainer from the family, who was there to protect him, suddenly congratulated the squad leader. The squad leader looked at the retainer with a blank expression, and the retainer explained while slowing down the charge.

“Young Master, look at these rebels, they are all fully armed. They must be transporting something important. If we can take down these rebels, then most of the credit will go to you.”

The retainer's words immediately dispelled the squad leader's idea of ​​a temporary retreat. Yes, the goods being transported by these fully armed rebels must be extremely important. If he could seize them, then military merit would be a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the shogunate army squad leader began to burn with fervor. Damn it, fortune favors the bold, let's do it! It's just dealing with a few rebels, right? He's not even afraid of his own old man's shoe soles, why should he be afraid of a few rebels?

Seeing the timid shogunate army squad leader suddenly charge to the front with renewed fighting spirit, the rebels, though not understanding why, still picked up their weapons and met him head-on.

As the two sides made contact, a great battle instantly broke out. Even though the rebels were all elites, their fighting strength was still insufficient against the shogunate army, which outnumbered them three or four times.

Seeing that the rebels were no match for them, the shogunate army began to attack them relentlessly, trying to keep them there. The shogunate army, blinded by their victory, did not realize that they were about to fall into the rebels' trap.

As the shogunate troops continued to approach Umijima, Goro, who was lying in ambush around the island, revealed an excited smile. It seemed that Lord Shinkai's plan had succeeded, and these shogunate troops had no idea that it was a conspiracy.

"That's about enough, Goro. You can lead your troops to counterattack those shogunate troops. Remember, try to capture them alive."

"Rest assured, Lord Xinhai, I have already given instructions for this battle plan. Those soldiers who don't want to eat seafood will definitely be careful when they do it."

Hearing Goro's reply, Shinkai nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that her previous actions of feeding these new members of the resistance with seafood for so many days had had some effect; at least for now, it wouldn't ruin her plan.

"Lord Xinhai, I may be unable to protect you in this battle as I'll likely be on the front lines. You should stay in the rear; I'm worried..."

"It's alright, Goro. With the protection of these elite soldiers from Umijima Island, I won't have any problems."

Xin Hai closed the military treatise in his hand, feeling somewhat emotional. Hai Zhi Island had far too few high-end combat forces, and this barren land could not nurture any so-called generals. If this battle were successful, the uninhabited Ba Yun Island surrounding Hai Zhi Island should also be within his grasp.

"Moreover, my purpose in coming to the battlefield this time is not only to prevent the shogunate's people from being seriously injured or killed, but also to win over some of the shogunate's soldiers to work for me."

"Alright, Lord Xinhai, you must be careful. You all, protect Lord Xinhai."

As they spoke, Goro left behind a dozen soldiers to protect Shinkai and began to command the resistance army to prepare for a counterattack against the shogunate army squad. This battle was of great importance, and Goro could not protect Shinkai himself, so he could only send some elite soldiers to guard around Shinkai.

"Captain, these rebels are running way too fast! I'm exhausted."

Watching the group of rebels dash into the territory of Haiji Island, a shogunate soldier muttered, "Damn, they're faster than us! After this battle, apart from a few unlucky rebels who were injured and couldn't run away, the rest of them all escaped."

"Wait, why are those anti-framework guys back again? What's going on? Are they trying to save their teammates?"

=When the shogunate army squad leader saw the rebels who had run to Umijima suddenly turn back, he immediately picked up his weapon. Although he didn't know why, he figured he might as well take the military credit that was offered to him.

"Young master, something seems off. I don't think there were this many rebels earlier."

Chapter 286 The First Signs of a Conspiracy

Although Xin Hai left some rebels on Haizhi Island to maintain order and confuse the various forces on the island, this was still too fake for the Fools who had truly understood the rebels.

The omnipresent Fools had long since figured out the Rebel Alliance, and there were even Fools within the Rebel Alliance itself. This is why the Evil Eye could spread so widely and rapidly within the Rebel Alliance without being discovered by high-ranking members like Xin Hai.

This is why the Fools were already in action the moment the rebels mobilized on a large scale, while the rebels who remained on Haiji Island were completely unaware of it.

"Ying, why are you running so fast? I can't keep up, I'm exhausted."

Seeing that Ying had finally stopped running, Meng, who had struggled to keep up, was panting and complaining irritably. Ying was in no mood to comfort Meng at this moment, because her worries had really come true. The granaries on Haiqi Island had indeed been burned down, leaving only ruins for the three granaries. The elite resistance fighters who were responsible for guarding the granaries had all died tragically, with no one surviving.

"Ying, what are you looking at? This... If I remember correctly, we received our food rations here the day before yesterday, right?"

Smelling the acrid smell and blood in the air, Paimon was so shocked by what he saw that he couldn't close his mouth. So many rebels from three large granaries were gone just like that?

Yingze had much more to think about than Paimon had anticipated. Now that the Fools had burned down the granaries, there was very little food left on Haizhi Island. Even with outside support, it would be no easy task for Haizhi Island to support so many soldiers.

What worries Ying even more is that if the resistance fighters fighting on the front lines find out about this news, they will definitely choose to fight to the death with their backs to the wall, and that is exactly what the Fools aim to achieve.

"No, we must get this message to Kujo Sara as soon as possible. This is all a conspiracy by the Fools. I cannot let their conspiracy succeed."

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Ying didn't hesitate to pick up her phone to message Kujo Sara. However, just as she took out her phone, an arrow came straight at her face. Ying quickly dodged to the side. When she looked at the archer, her face darkened. It was a member of the resistance.

"Traveler, why did you do this? Lord Xin Hai thought so highly of you, yet you burned down our granary?"

A rebel army captain who was on good terms with Ying stared at her through gritted teeth. These three granaries contained ninety percent of the food stored on Haizhi Island, and now they had all been burned down by this traveler.

The rebel captain, who had initially held a sliver of hope that the forest fire might be the cause, was now utterly despairing. This despair quickly transformed into hatred for Ying, a hatred so intense that it made the rebel squad leader's eyes bloodshot.

"Although I've never been your match in our previous sparring sessions, this time, I'm determined to defeat you!"

"No, let me explain. This really has nothing to do with me! I just arrived not long ago. It was the Fools who did this. It's a Fools conspiracy!"

"You should explain to Lord Xinhai. My current duty is to keep you under control and await Lord Xinhai's judgment."

Seeing that the rebel squad leader wouldn't listen to her explanation at all, Ying felt a little tired. Damn it, if she had known it would turn out like this, she shouldn't have cared so much about Haizhi Island. It really is true that good deeds are never rewarded.

Despite being wronged, it was impossible for Ying to surrender without resistance. The difference in strength could not be bridged by anger. In just ten moves, Ying seized the opportunity and kicked the resistance squad leader to the ground.

"Cough cough, I didn't expect you to be so amazing, Traveler. It seems I still lost. Someone had already notified me that smoke was coming from the direction of the granary, but I was still a step too late. Cough cough cough."

“I already told you, I didn’t burn down this granary. If I really did, why would I be here letting you see me?”

Ying explained with a bit of a headache. Perhaps because he had been beaten up by Ying, his IQ had temporarily returned. The rebel squad leader also felt that what Ying said made some sense. Just as the rebel squad leader was about to stop, one of the dozen or so rebel soldiers behind him suddenly shouted.

"Everyone, charge! We can't let our captain fight alone! Haiqi Island needs our protection."

This highly purposeful slogan almost made Ying utter the Ursus swear words she had learned in another world: "If you can't beat someone one-on-one, you resort to ganging up on them, huh? Have you no shame?"

“You rebels are so lacking in martial ethics, and it’s clearly not Ying who did this, but you just won’t believe it.”

Paimon was also furious at the rebels' shameless behavior. Ying was clearly well-intentioned, but these people treated her like this. Honestly, if he had known this would happen, he should have accepted Su Bai's suggestion to become a shrine maiden at Narukami Shrine.

"You're trying to outnumber us, aren't you? Looks like I've come at just the right time."

"Big Sister Beidou, you've come at just the right time."

A cheerful voice came from the woods. Upon hearing this familiar voice, Ying's eyes lit up. The surrounding rebels rushed forward as soon as they saw Ying's reinforcements had arrived, wanting to deal with Ying first.

"You're bullying my people right in front of me, huh? Looks like I'll have to take action."

With a sweep of her greatsword, Beidou charged straight into the ranks of the rebels. The Chigu sword, which Ningguang had bought for her at a high price, became a meat grinder on the battlefield. Any rebels struck by the Chigu sword were either killed or wounded.

With the addition of the expert Beidou, Ying was much more relaxed. In less than five minutes, more than a dozen rebels and a rebel captain were all lying on the ground, their wails echoing throughout the forest.

"What, do you want to try my sword too?"

Upon seeing the newly arrived group of rebels, Beidou, carrying the Chigu sword, waited for them with murderous intent. Perhaps having witnessed Beidou's prowess, the rebels immediately put on smiling faces and spoke to him.

"No, no, no, Captain Beidou, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. How could upright people like you and the Traveler do such a thing? We're just here to take our brothers on land to see a doctor."

Seeing that these rebels were quite sensible, Beidou didn't make things difficult for them anymore. He waved his hand and let the group of rebels take away the rebels lying on the ground.
