She knew in her heart that with Shinsuke Hiiragi's greedy nature, he would never cut his own flesh to support this war again.

The next batch of supplies will most likely never arrive.

There are only two options before her now: fight quickly or retreat quickly.

Reason told her that the wise thing to do now was to retreat to Inazuma Castle immediately, and then fight the rebels after all supplies were collected.

But if they retreat without fighting, the morale of the defenders of Kujo Jinya will undoubtedly suffer a heavy blow and become very low.

If the rebels attack, the Jiujo Jinya will surely fall.

By then, the shogunate army will have lost its last foothold and it will be difficult to launch a counterattack.

After weighing the pros and cons, Kujo Sara chose a quick battle.

The year before last, she personally led the shogunate army to fight against the rebels and won a great victory. Wherever she went, the people welcomed her wholeheartedly.

The scene of thriving vitality and flourishing of all things is still before our eyes.

No matter what, the battle force is 800 to 600, and the advantage is on my side!

After Kujo Sara made the decision, he immediately ordered the entire shogunate army to attack Yasumi Island and raid the rebels.

After a night's journey, they arrived at Tasha from Jiujiaozhenwu.

After a short rest, the shogunate army advanced all the way, encountering only sporadic resistance along the way, and the process was very smooth.

However, Kujo Sara had a very ominous premonition.

After another day of marching, the shogunate army arrived at Nashiki Beach, a battlefield where they often fought with the rebels.

The expected rebels did not appear, but in a sunny area, neat rows of tombstones were seen.

Kujo Sara's heart instantly sank to the bottom at this moment.

There is no doubt that the rebels had learned that the shogunate army was short of supplies and chose to hold on to Fujiiwa Fort, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

As long as they hold out for two days, the shogunate army will undoubtedly be defeated.

At this time, Kujo Sara still had the opportunity to retreat, but in the end she chose to fight to the death.

One day later in the evening.

The setting sun in the sky was like blood, dyeing the entire sky a dazzling red, a color that was gorgeous yet somewhat tragic.

The shogunate army, led by Kujo Sara, launched a suicidal charge towards Fujiiwa Fort.

In an instant, the rebels on the fortress wall fired thousands of arrows. The arrows were dense and poured down like raindrops, shooting mercilessly towards the shogunate army.

Countless young shogunate soldiers were shot into hedgehogs before they could reach the fort gate, and then fell to the ground forever.

When Kujo Sara saw this, his heart was broken.

She drew the blade from her waist, transformed into a flash of purple lightning, weaved through the rain of arrows, and arrived at the gate of the fort.

Just as she was about to chop open the gate of the fortress, Ying, holding a blunt sword, firmly blocked the blow, and at the same time, she also cut off the last possibility of victory for the shogunate army.

Chapter 130 After the Defeat

The atmosphere inside the castle tower was unusually depressing and solemn at this moment.

General Lei Dian sat cross-legged on the central seat with an expressionless face.

On either side of her, the Third Magistrate Hiiragi Shinsuke, Kujo Takayuki, and Kamisato Ayato knelt respectively.

She looked at the flustered Hiiragi Shinsuke with a stern gaze and asked in a cold tone, "Why did you only gather enough supplies for five days?"

Shinsuke Hiiragi trembled, lowered his head and cried bitterly, "Shogun, there is no Mora in the shogunate's inner treasury.

I spent all my fortune to gather these supplies. I have tried my best."

General Lei Dian frowned slightly upon hearing this, obviously not satisfied with the answer, and asked, "Why is there no Mora in the inner library?"

At this question, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the faces of Shinsuke Hiiragi and Takayuki Kujo opposite him. They looked at each other and saw guilt and panic in each other's eyes.

Where else could Mora go?

Of course they embezzled it.

Kamisato Ayato looked at the two of them, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.

After a moment, Hiiragi Shinsuke, having thought of a reason, replied, "Shogun, the Mora in the inner treasury was used to enforce the Eye Hunting Order and the Closure Order."

Finally, he added, "It's all for the eternal justice of the General."

Hearing the words "eternal justice", General Lei Dian nodded in agreement as if some mechanism had been triggered.

When Kamisato Ayato saw this scene, he found it absurd and ridiculous.

The god before him was like a puppet that only followed fixed procedures. He would easily agree with anything as long as it was under the banner of "eternal justice."

General Lei Dian lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then continued in a tone without a trace of emotion: "What should we do now?"

Upon hearing this, Kujo Takayuki replied with a serious face: "Shogun, we should now collect war taxes from the people of Inazuma.

As long as we have enough money and food, the shogunate army can organize another offensive and will surely defeat the rebels and protect the eternity you seek, General."

Shinsuke Hiiragi also quickly agreed.

Kamisato Ayato just sat there quietly without saying a word.

General Lei Dian did not answer immediately, as if he was lost in deeper thought.

After a long pause, she said indifferently, "Just do as you say."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke immediately smiled and praised her wisdom and greatness.

And Kamisato Ayato continued to remain silent.

Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke did not care about his silence. In their opinion, sending the Kamisato family's household servant to the guillotine was enough to make the Kamisato family bow their heads and retreat.

But what they didn't know was that the fire of revolution had already been ignited by the Kamisato family.

............................................................

Fujiyan Fort.

On a wide open space, more than 200 ice coffins were neatly placed there, and inside them lay the body of a shogunate soldier who had died in battle not long ago.

Not far away, Song Yinjian, dressed in a white robe, with an upright posture and a solemn and dignified expression, was reciting the "Nirvana Sutra" for a deceased person.

Ying and Paimeng squatted in front of a brazier, burning yellow paper.

Not long after, the long chanting of scriptures gradually ended.

Since the deceased's relatives and friends are not here, there is no need to hold a sad farewell ceremony.

Song Yinjian cremated it quickly, placed the ashes in an urn, and then buried it in a sunny place.

Although he could gain more than a thousand points of cultivation, he was not in a very good mood.

These fallen soldiers were all young people from the grassroots. They loved their country, had devout faith in God, and were willing to use their lives to protect Inazuma and the people of Inazuma.

However, what they don’t know is that the country does not love them, and they are not seen in the eyes of God.

What they don't know is that the corrupt nobles are exploiting their brothers and sisters even more cruelly.

..........................................................

The sky was gloomy, and another continuous autumn rain was falling.

Kamisato Ayaka was strolling on the streets of Inazuma Castle holding a paper umbrella. Wherever she looked, she saw a scene of desolation and desolation.

She couldn't help but sigh softly.

Ever since General Lei Dian agreed to the Tianling Bugyo and Kanding Bugyo to impose war taxes, the two major Bugyo have been using this as an excuse to wantonly rob the people of their money and food.

They looted from house to house, and remained indifferent no matter how the people begged. If anyone showed any disobedience, they would be beaten.

Many people were forced to escape from Inazuma City and look for a glimmer of hope outside.

In less than half a month, the population of Inazuma City had decreased by a quarter, and the number was still decreasing. The streets were becoming more and more deserted, and the originally bustling atmosphere of the city had long since disappeared.

The rest of the people also lived a very hard life.

In contrast, the nobles continued to live a life of luxury and debauchery.

Among them, the Kujo family and the Hiiragi family were even more extravagant than before.

Thinking of this, Kamisato Ayaka couldn't help but hold the paper umbrella even tighter.

Song Yinjian is a disciple of the Immortal Family and has to consider the reputation of the Immortal Family, so he has to use some means to clear away those who are blocking Li Yue's way.

But the Kamisato family did not have such concerns.

Not long after, she walked into the Mulou Tea House with steady steps.

Several warriors had been waiting in the teahouse for a long time. They all had serious expressions, and their eyes revealed suppressed anger and a desire to change the status quo.

"Ms. Kamisato Ayaka, we have basically taken control of the shogunate army. We are just waiting for your order to take action." A burly samurai said with a firm look.

The other warriors also nodded in agreement.

These warriors from the lower classes could no longer tolerate the rule of the nobles.

Kamisato Ayaka shook her head slightly and said calmly, "The time is not yet ripe."

When everyone present heard this, disappointment flashed in their eyes, and their originally high spirits suddenly dropped.

The samurai said anxiously, "Ms. Kamisato Ayaka, we really can't wait any longer! The people are almost dying!"

Kamisato Ayaka looked around and said in an unquestionable tone, "We must wait!

Otherwise, even if we eliminate the nobles, if we can't change the will of the gods, what good is that?"

Upon hearing this, although everyone was unwilling, they could only endure it temporarily.

They alone are not strong enough to face the gods.

Chapter 131 Bengzi, you are anxious again

A month passed quietly.

After working overtime day and night, Song Yinjian finally buried all 218 fallen soldiers.

At this time, his cultivation level had also reached the middle stage of the Golden Core (4670/5400), and he was only less than 800 points away from breaking through to the late stage of the Golden Core.

This speed is even faster than riding a rocket. If Li Shui and his master knew about this, they would probably be shocked again.

After that, Song Yinjian suddenly lived a life like a salted fish, wandering around every day and lying on a piece of grass near Mingzhui Beach when he had nothing to do.

The grass was lush and green, dotted with some unknown small flowers. When the breeze blew, the flowers and grass swayed gently, bringing bursts of fresh air.

He lay there comfortably, enjoying the peaceful and beautiful autumn time to the fullest, as if he had put all the troubles in the world behind him.

One day, he was lying lazily on the grass as usual, with his hands behind his head, squinting his eyes, and looking at the blue sky.

Just as I was feeling sleepy and about to fall asleep, a young resistance soldier came over.

The soldier walked over to Song Yinjian and slowly squatted down. His eyes were filled with simplicity and respect. He asked respectfully, "Master Song, can you tell me how to make the gods notice me?"

Song Yinjian glanced at him speechlessly, turned over slightly, yawned, and said, "Zheping, I don't even have the Eye of God myself, how can I tell you the answer?"

Teppei persisted, saying, "But both Coral Palace-sama and Goro-sama admire you greatly, so I suppose you must know everything."

When Song Yinjian heard this, he felt like laughing.

In the eyes of this young soldier who had not seen much of the world, he was about to become an omniscient and omnipotent god like the Great Compassionate Tree King.

He asked with great interest, "Zheping, why do you want the gods to notice you?"

Zheping answered with a determined look, "Because I want to gain more military merits on the battlefield. I don't want to be mediocre like I am now, always responsible for logistics work.

If only the gods could notice me and give me a chance, I would surely shine on the battlefield and make great contributions to the resistance."

Song Yinjian did not despise Zheping's idea.

Who doesn’t want to be like those holders of the Eye of God, killing everyone on the battlefield and becoming a hero praised by everyone?

He said calmly, "Zheping, you need to recognize and accept your mediocrity.

Most people in the world are ordinary people. It's not that the gods don't notice you, but your own mediocrity fails to attract the gods' attention.

Upon hearing this, Zheping's expression instantly turned extremely grim, and he murmured, "Why...why can't the gods pay attention to me? I'm trying so hard!"
