"Really? I know a girl named Zhuzi who once crossed a thunderstorm and drifted to Liyue Harbor alone. She now lives in Liyue Harbor. Although the risk is not small, there is still a glimmer of hope! Even if the worst happens, it's nothing more than death. It can't be that bad."
"Master, Master Masahito and Master Kamajiro have nothing to do with these cases. Miss Sara is the General's right-hand man. The General will not implicate them. There is still hope for the Kujo family. Run!"
"Nonsense!"
Kujo Takayuki slammed the table and stood up.
"I am the dignified General of Heaven. How can I run away when the truth is revealed? What's more, you don't know the authority of the general. How can you run away? Aren't you afraid that the general will smash you to pieces with a thunderbolt?"
Kujo Takayuki was very clear that as the main culprit, the Shogun would definitely keep an eye on him and he would not be able to escape.
Moreover, only if he did his job well and then admitted his guilt and accepted the punishment, could he buy a glimmer of hope for the Kujo family.
Fortunately, the children are quite capable.
only……
Kujo Takayuki looked at the old butler who had followed him for decades.
"I can't leave. If you want to leave, hurry up and pretend you never told me this."
"Master of the family..."
"No need to say more, just take action as soon as possible."
Kujo Takayuki's abacus was clacking, however, he could not have imagined that no matter what he did, the Kujo family would never be able to make a comeback.
The history of hereditary disregard has come to an end here.
----
Inside the castle tower.
"Are you the messenger of the rebels from Haigi Island?"
"Exactly."
General Raiden sat on the main seat, looking down at Iwasaki Masaru below the stage.
"Hundreds of years ago, your Kaigi Daimikomi went to war with the shogunate and was killed by Uchiha on Yagyu Island. Uchiha loved you and out of kindness allowed the people of Kaigi Island to integrate into the Inazuma life. As a result, the people of Kaigi Island did not show gratitude and are now openly rebelling. How dare you appear in front of me openly?"
Iwasaki frowned.
Why does something always feel wrong?
Shouldn't you just ask him what he wants to do? Why did you bring up history?
"General, you are joking. It is the tradition of Inazuma that when two armies are at war, messengers are not killed. I think I can still go back alive and report the news."
"You are very brave. Did you also instigate the unrest in Inazuma Castle?"
"Yes and no. The shogunate's perverse actions have long caused dissatisfaction among most people in Inazuma, and countless people have found it difficult to make a living. Inazuma has long been a huge powder keg, and all I did was to create a small spark."
"I am not sure about the authenticity of the evidence yet. It needs to be verified."
"If it's all fake, and Inazuma is peaceful and the people live and work in peace, how can I organize them given the people's faith in you?"
"..."
This is true.
Even she, when she saw the huge number of people, the banners in their hands, and the slogans they shouted, had already tacitly acknowledged the authenticity of the evidence.
Even if it is not completely authentic, there won't be too many fakes. The shogunate has indeed been hated by both the people and the heavens.
But this was the time to negotiate with the rebels, not to discuss the shogunate's guilt.
"Your attempt to coerce the people of Inazuma City is doomed to fail. If you resist to the end, you will only survive for a while. If the people of Coral Palace are willing to surrender, I can pardon the sins of the others after the main culprit is executed."
Hearing this, Iwasaki showed a surprised expression and said, "General, didn't you just assign the chief culprit to handle the affairs of the city?"
"I will take care of his crimes myself. Haigi Island rebelled against the shogunate and must pay the price for it. The execution of the ringleader is the bottom line of my life."
"I'm sorry, we cannot accept this condition. Severely punishing all guilty persons, eliminating all reactionary forces, and establishing a new Inazuma are our bottom line."
"You don't need to worry about this. If you insist on doing this, then there is nothing to discuss. We will see the outcome on the battlefield someday. As you said, when two armies fight, envoys will not be killed. You can go back and report."
General Lei Dian's tone was cold and emotionless from beginning to end.
The result was exactly what Iwasaki Masaru had expected.
He originally came to issue a challenge, but General Lei Dian took the initiative right from the start and inexplicably entered into negotiation mode.
Since I was already here, I joined the conversation, but the result was as expected, we really couldn't agree.
Next, his real mission begins.
"Since the talks have failed, I have another thing to do."
"explain."
"I am here to challenge you on behalf of Umijima Island. You can also understand this as us challenging you to a duel in front of the emperor."
Iwasaki Masaru deliberately added key words in his words.
Upon hearing this, General Lei Dian showed a rare expression of surprise.
The last time she had such an expression was when that ronin warrior challenged her in the imperial competition.
Are you looking to challenge yourself again today?
Although it was surprising, the request made by Iwasaki was reasonable.
"Okay, I agree. If you can win, I can agree to all your requests."
My martial arts are no different from my inner self. If I can still be defeated, I can only let these people say whatever they want.
Hearing this, Iwasaki Zheng smiled. Of course, he also knew this truth.
"Okay, I'm afraid we can't do anything near Inazuma Castle, and we're afraid of accidentally hurting the people in the city. We've set up a duel venue, and you can go there anytime, General. We're always waiting. Of course, you can also specify the location, but it's best not to be closer than this."
General Raiden took the letter of challenge from Iwasaki Masashi's hand, opened it and took a quick look at it. It was nothing more than some official language, and then he took out the map inside.
It is on the sea in the direction of Inazuma and Liyue, two hundred kilometers away from Inazuma City.
General Lei Dian's brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Is it necessary to be so far away?"
"In case."
General Raiden thought about it for a moment and ruled out the possibility that they were planning to take advantage of the gap to capture Inazuma Castle.
There is no need. Even if that is the case, I can kill them one by one.
"There's no need to find another location. Your little tricks can't do anything to me. I'm leaving now."
The Eye of Evil opened, connecting the two places, and General Raiden disappeared in the castle tower in the blink of an eye.
Seeing General Raiden so confident, Iwasaki Masaru, who was asked to leave the room by the Okuji group, couldn't help but sweat.
He still didn't know how the higher-ups had prepared, he just believed that the Coral Palace wouldn't do anything stupid without preparation.
This is probably part of the plan.
Chapter 217: Reduced to ashes... not even ashes left
On the sea, the Eye of Evil opened, and General Thunder walked out of the space channel.
After sensing it, I found that it was still some deviation from the agreed location, but I could feel a faint fluctuation of lightning element not far away.
It is estimated to be the rebels' weapon.
You've come to the right place.
After walking a little further, we saw four aircraft arranged about a kilometer apart.
In the center, there is a small aircraft, and the projection on it is...
General Lei Dian narrowed his eyes.
There is no mistake. It is the contemporary human goddess priestess of Kaigi Island, and a few other people whose names I cannot remember. They should be the leaders of the rebels.
"You challenged me to a duel in front of the emperor, but now you are afraid to come to me in your true form. If this is the case, you might as well admit defeat directly."
Coming to the small drone projecting the image, General Lei Dian looked at the projected image and seriously gave what he thought was the best solution.
"We certainly didn't expect that you would rush to the scene so soon, General. But don't worry, your opponent is already on the way."
On the other end of the communication, Jiang Ming in the Haiji Island Command Center looked at the screen.
The missile has been launched.
Two hundred kilometers, at the speed of a hypersonic missile, will only take a few minutes.
Now, he needs to try and wait for a better time.
For someone with elemental authority, the teleportation blocking interference device can be brute-force cracked in just a few seconds. In other words, they only have a window of less than a few seconds to ensure the killing rather than forcing the enemy to be teleported away directly.
"That's fine. I want to see what these people who start off strong but end weak can do."
General Lei Dian was very disdainful of this.
Originally, she didn't think that a few mortals could do anything to her. Now that she saw that these people didn't dare to show up, she became even more certain.
General Raiden, who had nothing to do, simply chatted with a few people about the recent events of the shogunate, Umigi Island, and the Fatui, and also discussed the issue of legitimacy.
General Thunder, this rigid puppet, made all of them feel helpless.
According to the other party's logic, since I am the god of Inazuma and the shogunate is my representative, even if the shogunate has many faults, you cannot resist maliciously, let alone rebel.
Once it happens, no matter the reason, it will be dealt with strictly.
This is absolute procedural justice, just following procedures.
On the contrary, their logic is that resisting tyranny is justified and rebellion is not a crime.
The two sides are talking at cross purposes and cannot even see eye to eye.
"You are a general, a demon god, so you don't understand mortals. What's the point of an eternity where people can't even eat and starve to death?"
The most fundamental argument on the Umijima side is the scene of the Inazuma people being displaced and suffering under the rule of the shogunate.
In Inazuma Castle, the relief food prepared by the Narugami Taisha Shrine and the shrine magistrate was not enough to distribute.
Outside Inazuma Castle, there were samurai who had become bandits everywhere - the Kairan Kiyomi.
The situation of the civilians is even more imaginable.
"The life of a mortal is only a few hundred years, how can we understand eternity?"
General Lei Dian didn't listen to these excuses at all.
As the eternal guardian created by Lei Film, she naturally firmly believes in "letting everything stop" and "no more progress, no more loss".
Even if Ray's movies change someday, she won't.
"So eternity, for whom? For eternity? Or for people? Eternity without people is meaningless."
"It's just a mortal moment... huh?"
General Lei Dian paused and turned to look to the other side.
Jiang Ming and others also skipped this topic.
The countdown for the missile to be in place was shown on the projection screen at the command center.
There are exactly thirty seconds left.
In General Lei Dian's sight, three pointed cylindrical objects were flying towards her at high speed in a V-shape, leaving trails behind.
She could only feel that there was some lightning energy stored in it, which was stronger than that of ordinary holders of the Eye of God, but not comparable to hers. Again, there were extremely weak fluctuations of lightning elements, which seemed to be receiving and feeding back some kind of signal.
These are three ordinary mechanical creations.
At most, it flies faster and has a more sophisticated structure.
That's it?
General Lei Dian looked back at Jiang Ming and others on the projection.
