We villains all have invincibility written on our faces

The aquatic village at the bottom of Ashina is the testing ground. It is very likely that it was guided by the nobleman of Kirigakure, Uzumaki. He should have promised that as long as the brewing is successful, they can become citizens of the capital and live in the Palace of Source. It is very likely that Michishun has been there. After all, when the game reaches the aquatic village, the zombie priest inside is still brewing continuously, chanting that everyone should become citizens of the capital.

But it doesn't matter now. Krieg signaled the Eagle Guards to drag Michishun's body out and burn it. It would be troublesome if he drank the water of transformation and was resurrected. The immortal Hanbei could recover no matter how he was chopped, and Michishun would show the same performance. If time was not tight, Krieg would like to know how the beheaded person could be resurrected.

Three years ago, the giant ninja Owl faked his own death during the chaos in Hirata. After the protagonist Wolf rescued Miko, Owl stabbed him in the back. Since then, Owl has been on the run. Because it was he who caused the chaos in Hirata Manor, he wanted to kidnap Miko to seize the power of resurrection. But now that he saw how Miko used the power of Dragon's Heritage to resurrect Wolf, he has become even more covetous of this power. A ninja who never shows his face, and who is also familiar with the architectural layout of Ashina, he can't do anything without killing Krieg. Owl's personal strength is very strong, stronger than the original Genichirō. In the Shura ending, it was him who killed Genichirō and was stabbed in the back by Wolf while holding the Black Undying Slash.

The Eagle Clan was waiting at the door, and Krieg walked in alone. The Lone Shadow Clan inside had been tortured to the point of being half dead. Obviously, as a ninja who had sneaked into Ashina Castle, he knew what Genichirō looked like. When he saw the de facto supreme ruler of Ashina walk in, the ninja's pupils dilated instantly, and then he blurted out everything he could say like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, as if he was afraid that Krieg didn't understand.

Even when tortured to the point of losing consciousness, you would still lie subconsciously. You are really a talented person.

Krieg inquired calmly. The Lone Shadows were scattered. If this unfortunate individual truly knew everything, it would be a lie. However, based on the current distribution, the in-game locations were identical to those in reality, with the exception of Owl's position. Since Owl had appeared in Ashina's main castle immediately after the inner court's siege, his location must be nearby. It was simply that the terrain meant there were too many locations to investigate. Krieg deliberately dimmed the firelight to create an aura of safety. After all, the presence or absence of light made no difference to Hayabusa's vision.

The Lone Shadows answered the questions quickly, but Krieg's questions were too tricky. Knowing the other Lone Shadows' intel, Krieg was free to bluff and mislead. Unknowingly, the Lone Shadows revealed that there were people living in the forest with lush red leaves. According to the game's developments, there was a ninja in the bamboo forest three years ago, but at this point in time, there wouldn't be any Lone Shadows in the forest. After all, Ashina Castle was about to be attacked by the Red Guards, so what was the point of slacking off in the forest?

After getting the information he wanted, Krieg prepared to investigate on his own. The presence of Hayabusa could keep him from being discovered. If the existence of Owl was confirmed, a group fight would seem to be more convenient than him alone.

The presence of hand cannons and substitutes actually makes the number of people a burden.

In the game's plot, three years ago, Wolf failed to defend against his adoptive father Owl's backstab, but three years later, Sekiro was evaluated by Owl as having made great progress. He defeated and killed his adoptive father Owl in a head-on battle. Unfortunately, this was achieved after Sekiro learned many styles and added ninja prosthetic arms. Now, Wolf, who is still lying at the bottom of the well, does not have the strength to fight Owl head-on, not to mention that Owl is a ninja. Whether it is using poison, smoke, or various strange props, these are his fighting styles. If you want to defeat him, intelligence is the most important link. After all, Krieg has more and better props.

Krieg did not cut off Wolf's hand during this period. It was difficult for him to accept cutting off a stranger's hand for no reason. Even if Wolf did not have the prosthetic arm, he could still complete the task, so it was even more impossible for him to cut off Wolf's hand.

Usui Ukonzaemon or something like that, this is Owl's name. Even in the game plot, his name has never appeared in full.

When Isshin stole the country, he had three key ninjas under his command, excluding the Yoshitaka clan: Owl, Chou, and Saru. Saru is now a Buddhist sculptor, and Madam Chou died in Hirata three years ago, leaving Owl alone. During the war to steal the country, Isshin's fame as the Sword Saint intimidated the inner court and brought lasting peace to Ashina based on his own strength. However, Owl, a fellow Ashina clan member, was relegated to being a country ninja. He collaborated with the inner court to lure the Lone Shadow Clan to the main city because he wanted his name known to the world.

Simply put, Owl loves fame, is ambitious and capable, and this country is his tool to realize his ambitions. To this end, he can cooperate with the inner court and let the Ashina Kingdom go to ruin. And no matter which plane, traitors are always more disgusting than their enemies.

Ever since Owl once again collaborated with the Imperial Court, posing as a traitor and leading a small group of Imperial Court elite troops into Ashina, he used covert activities to weaken Ashina's defenses, blocking Ashina's channels of communication, and then joined forces with the Lone Shadows to raid Ashina's elite forces, no one in Ashina would forgive his crimes. The Imperial Court had previously sent Lone Shadows to spy on Ashina, but they were all killed by the Great Tengu Ashina Isshin. Owl's presence interrupted Ashina's final struggle.

After the attack began two weeks later, two Lone Shadows blocked the retreat route on the road to the White Snake Shrine; two Lone Shadows guarded the road to the top floor, cutting off the traffic between the upper and lower levels of the castle tower; several Lone Shadows eliminated the elite Ashina disciples of the city defense in the middle level of the castle tower; most of the Lone Shadows killed the Ashina ninja Yoshinari on the rooftops; one Lone Shadow was sent to the watchtower behind the castle tower to watch the movements of Ashina Isshin.

Tachiba's goal is to eliminate the wolves in the well in the water storage area. Apart from his position, only the two lone shadows of the White Snake Shrine will not change their positions. In short, the first one to be killed is the next, and it is best to resolve this war before the Red Guards attack the city.

The problem of Xiao needs to be solved, but we can wait a while. He won't do anything before the Red Guards attack the city. Now let's wake up Lang first. It's time for him to wake up.

P.S.: I will finish writing Sekiro as soon as possible. There are only a few Sekiro books left, and I am so panicked. I will add more chapters tomorrow, and I owe four chapters now.

Chapter 114 Yongzhen

"Go ask the pharmacist to come over and tell her I need to inquire about Master Yixin's condition."

Krieg emerged from the dungeon into the sunlight. The leader of the Eagle Clan was already waiting outside. Krieg thought for a moment before issuing an order, "Have your men divide the contents of these jars and place them in the castle tower. Then, find someone knowledgeable about local customs and ask them how they've worshipped the White Snake God in previous years. If they have answers, try to guide him to the main gate. You're solely responsible for this, and you only need to report to me."

"Yes, Master Genichirō, what about the transportation of the lion monkey and the Senpoji Temple?"

"Senfeng Temple has the warrior general lead the troops to capture it. As long as there are powerful creatures in the temple, rely on the advantage of numbers to attack, with the Seven Spears leading the way. The monks will be responsible for transporting the lion apes, and let the Ghost Punishment Department do their best. He knows how to utilize manpower. If they see a temple that exudes a fearful aura, they should avoid it, as there is a violent wild spirit inside. All the remaining eagles will be under the command of the Ghost Punishment Department.

After the lion ape is brought back, tie it up and place it on a flat surface outside the city. Use a few people to wear it down. Don't do anything unnecessary, except for the ropes. The terrain won't be able to hold it down."

The leader of the Eagle Guard turned around, and the Eagle Guard who received the order immediately split into two pairs to deal with Xianfeng Temple first.

Krieg watched the Eagles leave, then something occurred to him. "Since Xianfeng Temple has already sent people to deal with it, the chickens here are of little use. Let's stew them in batches."

"Yes," the leader waited silently until Krieg disappeared from his sight, then turned around and ordered his other subordinates to cooperate with the Ghost Punishment Department, while he went to look for clues about the White Snake.

Krieg returned to the castle tower and used the totem scroll during the free time before Yongzhen came: Human, there was no discomfort, or the totem light of Hayabusa had been reflected for so long, he had long been accustomed to this existence. Genichirō's body was strong enough, and the strength and speed of this body had not changed much. Apart from not being afraid of toxins and not needing to eat, it was also easier to repair the body with melted silver.

Krieg's personal strength has reached its peak now, and it is impossible for him to learn powerful swordsmanship in such a short time. This means that Krieg cannot join forces with anyone to attack Owl. After all, he doesn't know anything except the Thunder of Ba, and it will be troublesome if he is discovered. In addition, the four words "open and aboveboard" have nothing to do with ninja battles.

The fishing line wrapped around the knife can create the illusion of swinging the knife, and then just shoot Owl in the head. It's not just Isshin who has grown old, the giant ninja of that year also felt the ruthlessness of time. If it were Owl three years ago, he would not be stabbed to death so easily by the wolf. This is a weakness that can be exploited.

Let this depressing world end soon. Krieg took a deep breath. The passages of Ashina Castle are well connected. If the Red Guards set up ladders to attack...

"Master Genichirō," Nagashin, who had arrived, bowed slightly. Krieg waved his hand. This pharmacist, who players had always called "Big Wife," had been responsible for Isshin's health. When Isshin was certain of his own death, he had secretly allowed Miko to escape. It was Nagashin who had also relayed the news of Miko's survival to Wolf.

They came so fast. Krieg glanced at the secret passage in the castle tower. Yongzhen used this passage to travel between the dilapidated temple and the castle tower, but Krieg did not intend to point this out. He needed Yongzhen to help Sekiro.

Speaking of which, in this era, how should Genichirō, as the ruler of the country, address Nagashin?

"You're here," Krieg said, keeping a straight face to avoid appearing timid. His stiff tone startled Yongzhen. "Yes, Master Genichirō, is there anything that's worrying you?"

"Grandpa, is he okay?"

"Lord Isshin may not be able to hold on for much longer. I will try my best to prolong his life. However, Lord Isshin is old after all, and coupled with the hidden injuries he suffered in his youth, the possibility of recovery is not high. I hope Lord Genichirō can understand," Yongzhen answered quickly, and it seemed that this was not the first time she answered.

"Is that so? Did Isshin-sama give you any instructions?"

Why ask, what did he know?

Although Yongzhen was confused, she still answered him normally. No matter what tone Genichirō used, it had nothing to do with her. After all, she was just a pharmacist.

"Isshin-sama didn't say anything."

"Hmm," Krieg was silent for a while, looking at the scenery outside, organizing his words in his mind, "Yongzhen, you've been in this country for a long time. Do you think there is still hope for Ashina?"

"That depends on Master Genichirō. I am just a woman and I don't have my own judgment on matters of family and country."

"So what do you think about my research on the power of Dragon's Embrace?"

"I don't have any opinion," Yongzhen avoided these clearly pointed questions, "but Master Yixin has always been against you. If you must ask for my advice, I can only say that Master Yixin doesn't support it."

"I see," Krieg tapped his index finger. "Since Yongzhen has no opinion on this matter, do this country a favor. Do you know Miko's ninja? His name is Wolf, and he's alive in the sewers. Wake him up and let him meet Miko."

""

"Have you given up your quest for immortality, Genichirō-sama? I believe Isshin-sama would be very happy to know this. Although I can't do anything about your condition, Isshin-sama's temperament would approve of your approach."

"I hope so." If Ashina Isshin really disagreed, Genichirō would not have monopolized power. He conquered the country, but failed to govern it well. His only grandson risked his life to protect the country in order to repay his gratitude, and even gave up the dignity of a warrior. No matter how proud Isshin was, he would not have the heart to blame his adopted grandson.

"Then, Master Genichirō, allow me to take my leave first," Yongzhen bowed again. Just as he was about to leave, Krieg seemed to be talking to himself, "You haven't asked about Miko's location yet, and it turns out you already know. Miko is on my side." Yongzhen bent her fingers and opened her mouth to argue, but Krieg just shook his head, motioning her to be silent. "I don't mean to blame you. It would be troublesome if you didn't know about this. I already know that Master Isshin has been training you, so I have a very important question for you."

"Eishin of Ashina," Krieg said, looking at her solemnly. "I wonder if you've ever thought about this: if Isshin-sama dies of illness and I die on the battlefield, who will be the ruler of this country and continue to lead the people here to survive?"

Chapter 115 The plan is set

This country needs a qualified leader. After Krieg is gone, Isshin will die of illness, and the country will fall into complete chaos. Even if the inner court is really defeated, what can be done? Without Isshin, who represents the pinnacle of military power, and Genichirō, who has always been the leader, this country will collapse in civil strife and poverty without even external forces. Yongzhen has worshipped Dogen as his teacher and learned medical knowledge. Ashina Isshin also taught her Ashina-style swordsmanship and used her to spread his will. It seems that the people here don't care about her identity as a woman.

What if a woman becomes the ruler? There are only a few thousand people in Ashina now. There are only a few farmers who farm and raise livestock. Nearly two-thirds of them are forced to take up swords. Ashina has a lot of snow and the land is barren. The magnetite ore, which is the source of the economy, is about to be mined out. There is no food and no salt. No matter how much iron ore there is, without soldiers and craftsmen to use it, the iron ore will only become a motive for the imperial court to attack. The building is about to collapse, and it cannot be supported by a single piece of wood.

A long time ago, a Buddhist sculptor found Yongzhen on the battlefield. The Buddhist sculptor gave her his rice ball, and Yongzhen followed him and stayed with him in Wei. So it would be a good idea for Yongzhen, a legitimate Weiming person, to serve as the king.

Isshin, who plays Tengu in the game, often tells Wolf, "It doesn't matter what moves you use, as long as they make you stronger." That's my move, just a way to buy time. As for whether it's too much for a woman to shoulder this responsibility, the cruelty of war doesn't matter based on gender. And after the story ends, only Eishin remains in Ashina Castle, a person with experience in making decisions.

"I don't understand what Master Genichirō means," Nagisa lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Krieg didn't pay attention. "It's okay, you'll understand soon. Now that you know where Miko is, go wake up Wolf quickly. I can't wait here any longer. If Wolf is worried, let Master Isshin live with Miko. If possible, I'd like to see the Ashina-ryu secret manual."

Krieg shrugged, "I think Isshin-sama would agree."

Yongzhen nodded slightly, retreated to the gate of the castle tower, and then turned and left.

It seems like you understand?

Krieg didn't care, it was just a reminder. Anyway, Yongzhen would have to go when the time came. Yixin would die of illness in 11 days. As long as he defeated the inner court before that, he could create the illusion of his own death on the battlefield. With a totemic body, this would be a very simple matter.

To protect Ashina, we must also ensure its independence, leaving no room for loopholes.

Krieg let out a long sigh and continued studying the city defense map. The scene where Sekiro and Oni Kobu met in the game was a battlefield, littered with corpses and lingering flames. Considering that Oni Kobu was the only one resisting Sekiro, the fate of the other soldiers was self-evident. On the bright side, given the scale of the inner court's attack in the game, Ashina could easily repel it. If they had used various means to weaken the inner court beforehand, this attack would be their only hope for a counterattack.

Now poisonous mud has been buried outside Ashina Castle. Although the Red Army must have antidote items, this consumption will not last long. It is incredible in this era that the Red Army's food and grass can be transported to Ashina from this terrain. If they can prepare enough antidotes in advance, Ashina can just surrender directly. The opponent has already changed from science fiction to fantasy.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to let Wolf pretend to be solely focused on hunting down the Lone Shadows. As long as the enemy cannot judge the Sword Master's physical condition, they will not attack with all their strength, and it would be nice to buy some time. However, how did Sekiro run through all the maps so quickly? Could it be that except for the few with combat memories, he even avoided the ordinary soldiers?

A ninja is indeed a ninja. After Wolf was told that his adoptive father and Miko were dead, he lost his purpose and motivation to live and was imprisoned at the bottom of an abandoned well for three years. Not long after he came out, he pierced through Ashina Castle. If he had continued to train, he might have become the next sword master.

Krieg placed his pieces on the map. The Ashina military was well-prepared, with three samurai generals stationed from the town to Ashina Castle. A Red-Eyed Red Oni and a Lion Ape could serve as secret weapons. The Broken Bridge would be enough to hold off the enemy for a while. Even if the Red Guards attempted to build a bridge, they had the White Snake God to rely on. A few elite troops would be defeated. With Red Guard Shigekichi's size, a bullet would surely be a sight to behold.

Transformation Water can be given to experts. Even if the enemy still enters, the immortal Oni-kobu and the other seven spears will be enough to resist the attack. Speaking of which, where is Isshin's five-shot musket? It would be much better to equip the seven spears. In this case, the main force must retreat. Since the inner court lacks catapults or anything like that, a dense number of troops is not a big deal. There are indeed those who can achieve unparalleled military prowess in this world, but they have nothing to do with the inner court. The fire bulls must be positioned early, at least before the White Snake God. The vegetation near Ashina Castle is not easy to ignite. Against the inner court's advanced technology, the damage will mainly come from the spreading flames, not the bulls themselves.

The Buddha sculptor will become a ghost of resentment. This doesn't matter which faction wins; as long as people keep dying, the ape will definitely lose control. Resentment comes from war and killing, and this era is full of resentment. The game also mentions that Isshin cut off the ape's arm to prevent him from falling into the state of Shura. This shows that the day war breaks out is the day the ghost of resentment is born. Simply carving Buddha statues and placing talismans outside dilapidated temples can only alleviate the situation. At that time, the person must advance to the front line.

Considering the military strength comparison between the Uchifu and Ashina Province, a protracted war is impossible. It would be a good idea to lure the enemy deep into our territory and use meteorites to clear the area instantly, but in this way the role of wolves assassinating local generals would not be so important. It would be a good idea to kill a few unimportant generals to irritate the enemy, but this would require sending some soldiers to die on the front battlefield, otherwise the Uchifu will not be fooled. This decision is wrong. I am Genichirō, and it would be fine if I just wander around the front. If the Uchifu's red armor does not rush up to kill me, their main general will kill them, which is just convenient for me to throw meteorites.

It will take time for Xiao to build the city, the Red Guards haven't arrived yet, and the city defense cannot be built in a day or two.

Krieg, who had been making plans until late at night, yawned. There shouldn't be any mistakes. Now he just needs to wait. What happens next can only be said to depend on his performance on the spot. If everything goes well, then he will not have much time left in this world. He has to see what kind of technology he can use here.

Chapter 116 Planning

According to the plot of the game, "Tengu" appeared for the second time at the White Snake Shrine. Before leaving, it left a note for the protagonist Wolf, telling him that he heard that there were invaders in the area of ​​the White Snake Shrine and he planned to go and kill them. This means that Isshin also knew the location of the Lone Shadow Clan. Although it could be confirmed by asking the leader of the Yotaka Clan, Krieg pretended not to know because Genichirō would not know about this.

Perhaps when Krieg pointed out the presence of the Lone Shadow in the sewers, the leader of the Yoshitakas realized that "Master Genichirō" knew this information, but he chose not to disclose it completely. This is why Krieg didn't send him along to kill Owl, but instead sent him to find the White Snake God. Even admiring glances were useless; in matters like this, action ultimately mattered, not what one felt. Frankly, Krieg didn't trust him at all.

Genichirō has a miserable life. He is the best in martial arts in Ashina, but he happened to meet a wolf who has learned the best of many schools of thought. He has strong leadership skills on the battlefield, but the strength of the inner court is completely unreasonable. Even his governance is acceptable, but this small place like Ashina has a single economy and a harsh environment, so it's impossible to have fun here!

It’s better to think about what good things there are here. Krieg stretched, sat in front of the castle tower and picked up a pen. In short, he should write it down first so as not to forget anything.

When it comes to Sekiro, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely immortality. Unfortunately, nothing comes without side effects. Even the Dragon's Blood Power didn't allow Sekiro to grow another hand. Meanwhile, Krieg isn't sure if the Dragon's Blood Power will still be useful without Sekiro and the power of the Sakura Dragon. The same goes for various candies, which all serve as protection for various spirits. If they lose their effectiveness after returning to England, that's fine. If they still work, Krieg can consider transforming into a psychic or a vengeful spirit.

The chewing materials and molars are good, but unfortunately the quantity that can be carried is limited, so only some can be taken away. Forget about the poison powder and antidote powder. The poisons in the two worlds are completely different. If Krieg wants to poison, either compounds or radioactive metals are better than these. Besides, there is probably no solution to the poison that can penetrate the totem light in the Sekiro world.

The Divine Snow must be taken away. Being in this item that houses divine power will bring protection to the user, making their attacks on vengeful spirits more effective. Regardless of whether there are vengeful spirits in the world where Krieg is, this is also his way to deal with them. Similarly, some Ming seeds must be taken away. According to the description, they will make a loud noise when crushed with fingers. The seeds of a plant called Corydalis can dispel the effect of illusions. Although it sounds unreliable, this thing is indeed effective, and Corydalis is a specialty of the Fallen Valley. There is no such plant in the UK.

Krieg thought about it and realized that these were the only props that could be used directly. The next were various secret manuals and pharmacological knowledge, which were all dispensable things. On the one hand, there was no teacher to guide Krieg, and there was a high possibility that he would fail in his practice if he practiced blindly. The herbs in the two worlds were also different. On the other hand, the world of Sekiro had advanced mystical powers, and Britain was different from here. Those awesome moves could not be used. However, apart from the mystical moves that normal people could not do, ordinary martial arts were used by humans. No matter how much the moves were practiced, they could not violate biology, and the effect was just better than nothing.

Maybe I can learn a little secretly before the inner court attacks. With the Fang of the Nameless One, I can appear under other identities. As long as "Genichirō" gives the order, I just need to pay attention to the reactions of others.

Krieg felt that there was a good chance of success in doing so. Although Yixin was seriously ill, Yongzhen, who had inherited the true teachings, and Lang, who knew everything, were still fine. It would be worthwhile to learn a little. At least the skills of seeing through, trunk breathing, breathing underwater, and holding breath were quite useful.

After finishing the calculation, Krieg relaxed and just had to wait for the plot to develop.

The hawk-raising people are no longer hanging on the kites. Ashina Castle becomes silent and dark at night. The hazy moonlight cannot illuminate the city, and neither can the twinkling candlelight. Only the place where the Ashina people are stationed has light and heat, like the last hope.

Krieg walked to the top of the castle tower and leaned against the fence. The surroundings were very quiet and the conversations of the Ashina people could not reach here. Krieg could not help but feel lonely. The darkness protected him and also isolated him from the crowd, leaving him standing here alone.

How about hunting down some ninjas to practice?

No, Krieg rejected this approach. As Ashina Genichirō, it was normal for him to protect his country and kill a few ninjas, but taking the enemy's life for the sake of practice was a bit too shameless. As long as the conscription was not over, there would be plenty of opportunities to become enemies. Was he going to become a murderer?

Speaking of training, the samurai waiting room was right at his feet, where Ashina-ryu Sase Shinsuke usually stayed. If I wanted to learn how to fight samurai, I'd better practice with him. If I wrapped fishing line around the tip of my sword, so that each strike dealt double damage, could I call myself a Kamijou Kaori-ryu?

Krieg smiled and tapped the railing lightly. The Hayabusa jumped to the rhythm of the tapping, its silver body gleaming in the dim light.

This world doesn't suit me. It lacks a positive theme. The game's premise, built on the idea of ​​mono no aware, is too heavy. Even if Eishin is a good lord, how much longer can Ashina's lifespan be extended? It's just a matter of living one day at a time. He scratched his hair; long hair made him uncomfortable. His bow and arrows had long been thrown aside, gathering dust.

After all, times have changed, and new technologies are needed to defeat traditional martial arts. The Ashina style does allow ordinary Ashina people to fight against the Red Guards at the same level, but when faced with a technological product like the flamethrower, there is only one Ashina person who is sure to win, and no one else will be able to achieve this in their entire lives.

Michael Hundt, a German swordsmanship master in the 17th century, described in his book "Secrets of the New Style of Swift Sword Stabbing" the secrets of one hundred sword fighting and self-defense moves in different situations.

Krieg had come across this book. The author spent a long time describing the ultimate 100th move. Excluding the formalities, the rest went something like this: "When active people gather together, hostility inevitably leads to fighting. The difference in weapons creates an unfair fight, and someone is always quickly defeated. When fighting with a swift sword, avoid using a dagger as your off-hand weapon. Use a short-barreled musket instead. In an emergency, use every weapon imaginable."

This is what the swordsmanship masters of the 1600s believed. The Ashina Province existed during the Japanese Warring States Period. It was basically during this period that the strongest swordsmen openly abandoned swordsmanship.

So it’s okay for me to try other methods.

ps: The closer I get to finishing this world, the more I feel like there are a lot of omissions, which is really a headache.

Chapter 117 Laying a Trap

Krieg had been vacantly staring at the castle tower, completely lost in thought. The past few days had been incredibly stimulating, and he needed to rely on vacant space to replenish his mental energy. Even after transforming into a totemic human, he didn't need sleep. As long as his core wasn't destroyed, he was always full of energy. While supplying himself with energy always took its toll, as long as he didn't use the power of the totem, that was negligible.

Hayabusa had already flown around the castle tower for at least forty or fifty times. Its flexible vision made Krieg dizzy, so as early as the fifth circle, he cut off his vision and observed in the third person perspective for a while. After switching back to the first person, he missed a step on flat ground.

It was a rare break, so a little dizziness wouldn't be bad. Krieg tilted his head back, reminiscing about his lazy life. He wouldn't be lazy for long. After seeing a wider world, Krieg knew very well that he couldn't return to his old world. He could complain, but with an extraordinary opportunity right before his eyes, only a fool would give it up.

Owl and Meteorite, as long as I can finish these two, I can't wait!

As the night grew darker, Krieg also felt the meaning of being cold at high altitudes. Ashina didn't know why it started snowing again, and he didn't know how many people would be harmed by it. This kind of weather was really terrible. The inner court would be hindered by the heavy snow, and the Ashina people who lacked food would also get frostbite. Wild vegetable dumplings and spiritual willpower could not withstand this snow.

Kill the chicken! Today is the day to kill the chicken!

Since Jiyingzhong is not here, I have to go and notify them myself!

Krieg was eager to climb over the railing, but his movements suddenly froze, and the hook slipped down first.

"You are the Wolf. You are very quick. Have you talked to Miko?" Krieg nodded to the protagonist Wolf. His tongue, which was bitten by his teeth, shrank together and the fishhook disappeared into thin air. Fortunately, the lights in the castle tower were not on and his gaffe was not seen by the Wolf.

Anyone looking down would have had the same reaction when they saw a dark object flipping over the opposite railing. Moreover, the wolf was only slightly taller than the fence and looked more like an inhuman creature than a ninja. If Hayabusa had not flown over in time and was able to see him in the darkness, Krieg would have thought it was a monkey from Bodhisattva Valley carrying a knife and seeking revenge.

"..." The wolf nodded slightly without saying a word.

Didn't this guy ever consider that if you were standing in the moonlight behind you, people with normal eyesight wouldn't be able to see your movements? In the plot, the wolf's actions could be considered a cold and indifferent master, but given the significant height difference, Krieg just thought this guy was really annoying.

You can obviously speak, so can you please give me some reaction!

"The terms I agreed with Miko are that you will help me defend this country. Once that's accomplished, I'll do my best to help you sever the Undying." Krieg didn't waste any time. After all, the wolf was mainly a tool, so how he responded didn't matter. "The Imperial Household's troops are heading this way. I'll need you to harass them later, but we don't need your help here for now. You can tell Miko that preparations for severing the Undying can be made now, and you can borrow any books in the castle tower. Everyone in Ashina will pretend you don't exist."

"Okay," Sekiro's dull voice sounded, and it seemed that only when Miko was mentioned would a word come out of his mouth.

I really want to beat this guy up. How about I cut off your hand so that it will be a perfect place to install a ninja prosthetic arm?

Krieg knocked on the railing, and he treated the wolf as a mute. Although the title of Ninja Prosthetic Arm Sekiro would not appear without him, and his personal strength would be greatly reduced, it was difficult for Krieg to accept cutting off the hand of a neutral unit. After all, he was not the real Genichirō.

"One more thing. When you are searching for a way to stop the undeath, if you come across the secret manuals for the three techniques of Perception, Trunk Breathing, and Water Breathing, bring them back to me. Of course, you can learn them first."

"it is good."
