I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

……

Seeing the dark [Juncheng] that Amatori Mion and the Karikata group were riding on leaving, Li Mo had an inexplicable smile on his face. He turned around and stretched out his hand to draw a black gap, revealing Miehuo and Wuming who were hugging each other with tears in their eyes.

The world of shadows!

This is from the original anime of "Jackie Chan Adventures". Anyone who puts on a shadow mask and becomes a shadow general can use the shadow kingdom formed by the shadow power to perform long-distance space transfer. Shadow soldiers and shadow creatures can even live in it. This is the shadow kingdom dominated by the shadow king Tara.

Naturally, Li Mo did not have the ability to directly control a kingdom of shadows. When he tried the extraordinary power of [Power of Shadows] in Kabutejo Castle, he found that he could display it indirectly through [Seed of Shadows] and other means. Therefore, after much research, he created a miniature [Shadow World], which is actually a subspace that can be controlled by Li Mo with the power of shadows. With his current strength, he can at most create a subspace of 10X10X10 in size, but there is no problem in accommodating Miehuo and Wuming, not to mention that Li Mo just let them enter before leaving [Jun City].

Just now, the two beauties, Miehuo and Wuming, naturally heard what Amadori Mima said. They could naturally tell that Amadori Mima's words were not false. Those words that regarded themselves as tools, coming from the mouth of the person they loved deeply/the brother they admired, were an extremely fatal blow to their beliefs, and completely destroyed Miehuo and Wuming's spirits. The two even hugged each other and cried in the [Black Shadow Space].

When Li Mo saw the two beauties crying like pear blossoms in the rain, he naturally hugged Miehuo and Wuming. Feeling that the two beauties no longer had the previous resistance, he chuckled and said proudly:

"It seems that you have completely lost your bet~!"

Chapter 36: Trip to King Kong Station (New book, please collect and vote~!)

"The vehicle is in very good condition and all supplies are ready!"

"Juncheng has started!"

"Have a safe journey..."

Five days later, a [Juncheng] began to slowly accelerate. The gushing steam made the surrounding area seem like a thick fog. It flew out of [Xianjinyi] with a roar. Sifangchuan Changpu and others who were staying in the city sent their blessings.

Five days ago, Li Mo met with Amatori Mima and returned to Xianjin Station, which meant that he agreed to the Shogun's previous audience order. He conveyed his intention to go to Kongo Station for an audience through Juncheng on the railway, and received the Shogun's consent order sent back as quickly as possible. Obviously, this power animal was extremely efficient when it came to the issue of whether his status would be stable.

This time, Li Mo went there mainly to cause trouble, so this armed [Juncheng] did not carry a lot of old, weak, women and children like in the original plot of Kabutoshi of the Iron Fortress. Excluding the necessary personnel for maintaining and driving the [Juncheng], it was completely a new army armed to the teeth, and carried a lot of new weapons and equipment.

Regarding Li Mo's sudden action, General Yokogawa, who abdicated not long ago, had a secret conversation with Li Mo and learned the general situation. He fully supported his son-in-law in this decision and even told Li Mo the specific situation and contact method of the other branch of the Yokogawa family staying in Kongo Station. Moreover, General Yokogawa had long been dissatisfied with the Shogun. After the defeat in Kabane ten years ago, the daimyo had more or less some doubts in their hearts, but it was not the Shogun's order that could dispel their doubts, which led to the ambiguous relationship with the Karikata clan.

Besides, Li Mo has now completely mastered the [Xianjinyi] and cannot be manipulated at will by the Sifangchuan generals. Even if he wants to stop it by force, I am afraid that few people will obey the orders of him, the previous head of the Sifangchuan family.

As for this point, General Sifang Chuanjian, whose ability can barely be considered as maintaining the status quo, is very aware of it. He thinks he has a good eye for judging people. Under the current chaotic situation in Neon, it is a good thing that Li Mo is capable and ambitious. Moreover, Li Mo has opened up the overseas trade route of [Xianjin Station]. Even if he falls out with [King Kong Station], he will still have enough confidence to face the suppression of [King Kong Station].

As for the others, Sifangchuan Acorus knew the general news and stayed in Xianjinyi with his father. Miehuo and Wuming followed Sifangchuan Acorus. They were completely disappointed with Tianniao Mima and chose to stay with Li Mo!

……

When Li Mo and his party took the Juncheng train and successfully arrived at King Kong Station after two days, they were greeted politely by the defense warriors of King Kong Station. However, except for Li Mo and a few others, everyone else still had to undergo routine inspections.

It's not an intentional humiliation, it's purely a check of outsiders in every city to prevent those who have been bitten by Kabane from sneaking into the city.

Compared to the T virus, which takes effect very quickly, the Kabane virus transforms the infected person into Kabane in half an hour in most cases. However, there are people with special physiques who can barely hold on for longer, and some even become Kabane on the third day after being injured and infected.

Therefore, in these surviving castles of Japan, for outsiders from [Shun Castle], except for the noble daimyo, family elders and their families, who do not need to be checked, the samurai are required to simply check each other for external injuries, and civilians, merchants, craftsmen and the like are required to check for wounds on their bodies, except for their inner clothes. If any wounds are found, they will be thrown into a cell for three days.

If anyone wants to resist or escape, they will be warned and shot by the samurai. Even if the old steam gun cannot penetrate the steel membrane of Kabane, it can easily kill ordinary people, and being killed in this matter would be a waste of life.

However, after a brief inspection, Li Mo and his party were arranged to stay in a house in the inner city of Kongo Station. If they wanted to meet the Shogun, they had to ask for permission in advance and wait for the Shogun's summons before going to the castle tower for the audience ceremony.

"Tsk tsk, the weapons at King Kong Station are pretty good~!"

Seeing the guards outside, Li Mo who was staying in the house narrowed his eyes. He saw that it was slightly different from the original anime of "Kabutoshi of the Iron Fortress" in that in addition to the large-scale old-fashioned steam guns, the actual "Kongou Station" was also equipped with many new weapons.

For example, the defense system of the [King Kong Post] that Li Mo had seen all the way, the artillery equipped on the turrets set on the city walls were obviously breech-loading cannons using modern propellants. The dozen or so chess pieces fused with the [Seed of Black Shadow] also confirmed that among the firearms equipped by the [King Kong Post], many were old-generation bolt-action rifles such as the Mauser 1871 and Lebel M1886.

If you think about it realistically, the Karikata clan once blew up the arms ships that the shogunate used to buy arms from the outside world, so the appearance of these modern weapons is really not surprising. Even the small-caliber mortars equipped by the Karikata clan are probably spoils of war that they purchased or robbed. The Kongō Station where the shogun is located is naturally equipped with new weapons.

At the very least, the Shogun would obviously not consider distributing purchased weapons at will. He would rather keep the excess equipment at Kongō Station than send it out.

"Sir, are we on alert now?"

Facing Li Mo's amazed expression, a new army officer who had not been planted with the [Black Shadow Seed] looked at the guards outside the mansion and couldn't help but say.

"Well, you guys go on your daily guard!"

Hearing the request from the new army officer, Li Mo waved his hand and gave an order casually. Then he shifted his gaze from the bolt-action rifles of the guards outside the door to the most conspicuous castle tower where the shogun lived. His tone seemed calm, but it made people feel that something was wrong: "Perhaps, it will take several days for the general to agree to my audience..."

If there were someone who was familiar with Li Mo's character present, he would definitely think that he did not care about the matter at all, and did not take the audience with the Shogun seriously, but just went through the motions.

Actually, Li Mo really didn't take this matter seriously. Even though he came to Kongo Station in the name of meeting the Shogun, he didn't play any political struggle with the Shogun and his group of family elders. What he was preparing in his mind was how to take advantage of the situation and control the entire Kongo Station.

After all, Li Mo released the beautiful Tianniao Ma into the [King Kong Post], and I believe this guy would be very happy to meet his father!

……

"Sir, please go in immediately!"

More than ten hours later, it was almost dawn of the next day. At the only entrance to the water fort of [King Kong Post] that led to the sea through the river, several guards and gate officers who had integrated the [Seed of Black Shadow] raised the fence of the entrance to the water fort. Then, looking at Amano Mima, who had just sent people to investigate and confirmed that someone had really opened the gate and came in, they saluted respectfully and said naturally.

As for the remaining guards, they had all been knocked out by some drugs. They had never thought that one of their own would attack them during the meal, so they expected that sleeping for a day and a night would not be a problem!

"It's really rare. That guy actually bribed people at [King Kong Post]!"

Seeing the gate of the water fort of King Kong Post opened, Amano Mima, who was riding in the front on a small boat, couldn't believe it. Looking at the King Kong Post that had been difficult to approach no matter how hard he tried in the past, he said in a low voice with some emotion.

It should be said that the current Shogun is indeed a power animal, but he really attaches great importance to the security of Kongo Station. For example, it is impossible for the outside castle to enter Kongo Station by taking the Juncheng without the permission of Kongo Station. And considering that the Kabane outside is very dangerous, the gate officers and samurai stationed at each city gate are all his trusted subordinates.

At the very least, the face of Amatori Mima, the son of the former general who was dismissed, is of no use at all in front of these people in Kongo Station. Even if he tries to infiltrate and bribe the people in Kongo Station, it is basically in vain.

After all, outside is a chaotic world where Kabane is rampant. Isn't it better to stay in the safe [Kongou Station] than to follow the down-and-out Amatori Mima?

Hearing Amatori Mima's sigh, several city gate officers and guard warriors who had integrated the [Black Shadow Seed] remained calm. They were already Li Mo's most loyal subordinates, and would not respond to Amatori Mima's tentative actions at all.

As for the black shadow guards' silence, Amatori Mima knew that his attempt had failed, but he was not disappointed and whispered to the people behind him:

"Let's go! Today is the day for me and the rest of you to punish the traitors!!!"

Chapter 37: The Revenge of Amano Mima (New book, please collect and vote~)

“Bang, bang, bang——————!”

"God punish the traitors!!!"

“Boom!”…

When the first ray of morning light appeared on the horizon, Amatori Miu and his group, who had disguised themselves as internal staff of Kongo Station and cooperated with the personnel sent by Li Mo, finally arrived at the castle tower area of ​​Kongo Station and launched a fierce offensive.

There is no way. Although Kongō Station is tight on the outside but loose on the inside, the contemporary shogun is very careful about his life. Even if he stays in the very safe Kongō Station with a lot of defensive measures, the castle tower where he lives is still on the highest alert. No one is allowed to enter without his permission, let alone foreign enemies such as Amatori Mima.

At this time, Amatori Mima also didn't care about this small problem. He took the initiative and directly launched this war against rebellion!

Or to be more precise, it is the classic Neon battle of the underdogs rising above the superiors!

Anyway, Amatori Mima, who was eager for revenge, didn't mind using any means. He was very happy to shout a few slogans like "Heaven punishes the traitors" to disrupt the enemy's mind. What's more, he felt that he and his men were really punishing the traitors.

At the very least, Amatori Mima didn't think that a man who killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers for his own position could be considered a qualified shogun. Putting the blame for the defeat on his son was something that a father could not do. Therefore, when he sneaked into Kongō Station for a surprise attack, he did not use a killing move directly but shouted slogans and launched a sneak attack.

Just when the defenders of the castle tower were in a state of confusion, the Karikata group had already concentrated their firepower to launch a surprise attack, bombarding the guard troops with mortars. Then Amatori Mima rushed forward first, and broke directly into the castle tower with his subordinates!

……

It has to be said that as the original villain boss of the world of Kabutoshi of the Iron Fortress, Amatori Mima and the Karikatas he led were the only force in Japan that would take the initiative to clean up the Kabane, and they were also the only Japanese survivor force capable of doing so.

Among them, except for the various castles in Japan, which lost most of their elite troops in the great war ten years ago, compared with the samurai hiding in the castle with old-fashioned steam guns, every official member of the Karifon Group can be regarded as an extremely elite veteran with outstanding fighting will and skills. Moreover, the weapons in their hands are much better than those of ordinary castles. Some of them even have overseas arms purchased by the shogunate, such as mortars and Gatling machine guns.

——Of course, the Gatling gun is still an early product. For example, there are hand-held Gatling guns, which are actually strange things with small caliber and loaded with old-fashioned granular propellant. The range is less than 50 meters and the power is just enough to kill people. It is not as good as the small steam motorcycle and light mortar that the hunters have robbed. Except for leaving two hand-held Gatling guns as souvenirs, the hunters have made full use of other captured weapons and equipment. For example, the raid on the castle tower of Kongo Station now made Amatori Mima take out all his old tricks!

Apart from anything else, Amatori Mima will follow his old subordinates, more than a dozen Kabaneri, into the battle. They know that this may be their most crucial battle, and regardless of the risk of the Kabane virus completely corroding them, they will mobilize all their strength to kill the defensive warriors of the castle tower.

Compared with ordinary hunters, the Kabaneri's combat power is very strong in all aspects. They cannot be said to have reached the level of superheroes or martial arts masters in some martial arts novels, but in fact their physical fitness has almost reached the level of Captain America. Although Huo-Xie and Wu-Ming are vulnerable in front of Li Mo, if they exert their full strength, more than a dozen elite samurai cannot get close to them. With the help of their own weapons, they can even deal with the joint attack of more than twenty or thirty samurai.

In comparison, although the garrison warriors of Kongo Station are well-equipped, most of them are defending the city, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the hunting party. What's more, although the current castle tower guards have more than one hundred people, more than half of them are actually descendants of the shogun's side family. They usually serve as ceremonial guards or are sent to do things. In terms of combat effectiveness, it can only be said to be a joke.

It can be said that the assault by Amatori Mima and his group was like a hot knife cutting butter. If the castle tower was not small and had not been set up with several traps, they would have rushed into the Shogun's bedroom at once. Even so, they would have been able to quickly break through layers of guards!

"What happened?!"

At this time, the Shogun, who was sleeping soundly, was forcibly dragged out of bed by his personal attendant. He was left amid the screams of several women and the roar of gunfire. The Shogun, who was about to get angry, reacted immediately. He couldn't help but look at his personal attendant with a panicked look and asked, but he already felt something was wrong in his heart. He wondered whether that daimyo had colluded with Kongo Station to commit rebellion.

After all, as a person who has sat firmly on the throne of power for decades, the Shogun naturally would not think that the sounds of gunfire and shouts of killing were a joke. According to his own estimation, he certainly understood that those daimyo and even some people within Kongō Station were dissatisfied with him!

"Sir, the enemy is attacking the castle tower..."

After hearing the Shogun's words, the personal attendant was also unclear about the current situation. He only knew that someone had launched an attack on the castle tower. When he was about to take his loyal lord and escape, a bullet directly pierced his neck.

There was no doubt that the personal attendant was not a T1000 Terminator, nor was he a monster like Kabane who could ignore most damage. The steel bullet directly broke more than half of his neck, and the wound with even the broken artery caused a large amount of blood to spurt out, splashing all over the surroundings and directly frightening the women hiding in the quilt to faint. Even the Shogun was frightened to the point that his legs became weak and his pants were soaked.

Ten seconds later, Amatori Mima killed the last samurai who blocked his way, and then he saw the bedroom door was wide open, and then he saw his father, with a hint of surprise on his handsome face:

"I never thought that we would meet under such circumstances, my so-called father!"

……

"You, you are Amatori Mima? Let me go..."

When the Shogun's face was splattered with blood and he was so scared that he couldn't stand up, he reacted by hearing what Amatori Mima said. Feeling something was wrong, he immediately tried to save himself and begged for mercy from the son he had abandoned and made the scapegoat.

"No need! My so-called father, I should send you to meet those warriors from ten years ago. Their wronged souls are still waiting for you to take revenge!"

At this time, Amatori Mima saw the Shogun's ugly and miserable posture, and his desire for revenge was greatly reduced, but he showed no mercy. He stabbed the Shogun in the heart and beheaded him directly.

As someone who was once scratched by Kabane and thought he would become Kabane and then hang himself to become Kabaneri, Amatori Mima did not want to try to see if his so-called father knew how Kabaneri was born. He simply killed his father in the most decisive way, completing the revenge he had always wanted, "fatherly love and son's filial piety", and completely killed the contemporary shogun in the castle tower.

However, Amatori Mima, who killed the current shogun, felt empty in his heart except for the initial joy of successful revenge. He used to regard revenge on his father, the current shogun, as his only belief. For this, he did not hesitate to kill many civilians and even abandoned the women who loved him as tools. But when he looked at the dead body of the shogun, he seemed to have no idea what to do next.

Fortunately, when Amatori Mima was slightly distracted, the elite Karikata troops led by him had already taken control of the entire castle tower. Although there were still a few samurai who had not been cleared out, the space around the Shogun's bedroom was already under the care of the Karikata troops, which prevented Amatori Mima from being attacked by the guarding samurai. Otherwise, he might have become a Kabaneri who was hacked to death by the guarding samurai.

Just as Amatori Mima had just come to his senses and was looking at the kari-kata's trusted subordinates around him, preparing to say something, he suddenly saw a fire from a four-story building outside out of the corner of his eye, and then he heard a gunshot with a pain in his heart:

“Bang——————!!!”

Chapter 38 The Yellow Bird is Behind (New book, please collect and support~!)

“Bang——————!!!”

When Amatori Mima heard the gunshot, the hatamoto samurai directly under the shogun, who was more than 7.62 meters away, had an expressionless face and quickly reloaded his bolt-action rifle. The next MM old-fashioned rifle bullet directly blew up Amatori Mima's head.

Needless to say, the hatamoto samurai belonging to the Shogun was naturally the object of fusion of [Shadow Seed]. Otherwise, he would not have shot Amatori Mima, who had just completed the scene of [Father's Loving Kindness and Son's Filial Piety] at this perfect time, through the gap in the outer window, and let Amatori Mima accompany his father, the Shogun, to hell to reunite.

Anyway, Li Mo has no good feelings towards either Amatori Mima or the Shogun. If the father and son are to die, they should die together. Amatori Mima probably has no regrets, after all, he has accomplished his dream of revenge with his own hands!

"A-Aten-sama is dead?!!"

Seeing Amatori Mima die in front of them, the Karikata group who were staying around the Shogun's bedroom were stunned. Amatori Mima's diehard fans were even more incredulous. When they attacked the castle tower, their first goal was of course to take revenge on the Shogun, but many of them also had the tempting idea of ​​killing the Shogun and then following Amatori Mima to become officials of the new dynasty.

After all, Amatori Mima is indeed the descendant of the Shogun, and in Japan he still has the natural status to inherit the Shogun. If he can control the situation at Kongō Station, he may really become the new generation of Shogun.

The problem is that the death of Amatori Mima made all of this come to nothing.

Even if he had not revealed his identity as a Kabaneri, the death of Amanatori Mima meant that the Karikata clan lost their leader and the opportunity to gain a foothold.

If Amatori Mima was there, he would naturally be able to use his natural status and the military force of the Karifunari to integrate Kongō Station. Even if his chances of becoming the Shogun were not great, it was completely different from the current situation where he had no chance at all.

However, when Li Mo decided to kill Amatori Mima and the Shogun and make himself the one who got in the way, all the subsequent actions were doomed!

"Everyone, Lord Amatori Mima is dead. We have no way out now!"

When the Karikata group was at a loss, a middle-level officer from the Karikata group stood up. He fired a shot at the ceiling with the steam pistol in his hand without hesitation. When everyone looked at him, he shouted with a very cold expression: "If we don't want to be caught and beheaded by the shogunate, we must fight our way out of [Kongō Station] immediately, otherwise everyone will die..."

This middle-level officer of the Karikata clan spoke very directly, but everyone in the Karikata clan knew that this was the truth. Without the words of their leader and former shogun, Amatori Mima, they would not be able to gain a foothold in Kongō Station and would be regarded as traitors by everyone for fear of rebelling against their superiors.

The reason is very simple. The daimyos and samurai of Kongo Station and other castles could accept a bloody ascension to the throne by the former heir to the shogun, but they would never accept that a group of samurai could occupy Kongo Station and establish themselves. What's more, the Karikata group had just killed a large number of the shogun's family samurai, and even the shogun himself died in the castle tower. For such a major event, there must be a culprit to take the blame, so the Karikata group would be the best unlucky ones.

Although Amatori Mima was the leader of the Karikata clan, when Amatori Mima died here, it can be expected that Kongo Station would make a big deal out of a small matter and try to blur the matter of why the former heir to the shogun who was removed from the list would rush into Kongo Station, but the Karikata clan would definitely not be let off.

It was obvious that the Karikata warriors did not understand the twists and turns, but they were very clear about the consequences of killing a daimyo or even a high-ranking samurai, not to mention openly killing the highest-ranking samurai general in Japan.

"Revenge is over! It's time for us to fight our way out!"

"Yes! Let's kidnap those shogunate elders and important officials and fight our way out of Kongo Station!"

"Let's move quickly..."

In just a few breaths, several senior officers and a dozen middle-level officers of the Karifang group reached a consensus. Even if some of them had followed Amatori Mima ten years ago, they had to take care of their own lives at this time.

In any case, the Karikata people sent out all their elite troops and followed Amatori Mima to rush into Kongo Station and attack the castle tower. This was already very courageous. If Amatori Mima was still there, the Karikata people who had lost half of their troops would still fight hard. But who made Amatori Mima die in front of them? The Karikata people who had already lost their target had to consider how to save themselves and leave the Kongo Station alive.

As expected, the defenders of Kongo Station have already reacted. The remaining one hundred or so soldiers of Karikata want to fight their way out. I am afraid that they are disrespecting the many resources and defensive weapons spent by the Shogun on Kongo Station, and by the way, they will kill the tens of thousands of defenders who have already reacted.

Therefore, the Karikata group, under the leadership of several leaders, quickly launched a surprise attack on many important officials of the shogunate around the castle tower, preparing to use these shogunate elders and important officials as bargaining chips in exchange for their smooth departure from Kongō Station.

Thanks to the big commotion caused by the Karikata group's sudden attack on the castle tower, the shogunate elders and important ministers living in the houses around the castle tower have all woken up. Some have even secretly sent servants and confidants to inquire about the news. Naturally, they saw the Karikata group attacking the castle tower. Some of them have even sensed the current opportunity and began to contact the generals they are familiar with, and it is inevitable that the samurai at home should be on alert.

The problem is that for the Karikata people who have just captured the castle tower, their combat effectiveness is far greater than those samurai staying in the mansions. What's more, those samurai are mostly equipped with samurai swords or a few steam guns, and their armaments are far inferior to those of the Karikata people.

In fact, it is understandable. The Kongō Station where the Shogun is stationed is very safe. It is normal to allow the samurai under the command of the elders and important ministers to wear swords. However, there must be strict restrictions on equipping steam guns. Otherwise, wouldn't the Shogun worry that those well-equipped samurai from various domains would make a big move while he was sleeping that night?
