How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

This is the first time I have seen you all look like this... It seems that Lord Musashi's words were somewhat biased.

Just as Noshiro was hesitating whether she should follow the crowd and shout out the slogan of willingness to serve with them, Musashi's answer immediately dispelled her idea.

She spread her hands and stopped pretending to be mysterious. Her expression towards everyone was full of a helpless and relieved smile, which contained a soothing tone, but also a smile at everyone's confusion.

"A soldier should guard against arrogance and impatience. Otherwise, even if he has a more powerful army, in the end, it will only serve to make others famous."

"I don't care about temporary gains and losses. You all know that's not my concern. What I care about is the final result."

"And now is not the time."

"Just let them fight first. There's no need to interfere, and don't act abnormally. Your habits remain the same. Monitor, imprison, track and investigate. Just do what you need to do and don't let anyone notice anything wrong."

"As for Zhou Xuan's matter, I will settle it with him someday."

These remarks also pointed out the future direction and specific course of action for them.

Although they didn't understand the meaning, they didn't dare to ask more questions and just followed the instructions and did it.

Only Noshiro, who had been staying quietly beside Musashi and dared not speak easily, was left waiting for her next instruction.

"According to your investigation, a letter has secretly entered Kyoto Prefecture and is heading to Mikasa, right?"

"Yes, my lord, it is a carrier pigeon. I have seen the Grand Master raising it in the past. Now that it appears here, I think it has other purposes."

"Do you think we need..."

Before Noshiro could finish her suggestion, Musashi waved his hand and interrupted it.

she says.

"No need. I think we already know what the letter says. Let's not waste our time on it."

"Since they have chosen to bet everything on that young man, let's give them a hand. After all, my opinion on this point is the same as theirs."

After leaving these clear but ambiguous words, Noshiro was sent away and returned to her post, transferring the invisible pressure to Mikasa.

Inside Mikasa's mansion, this historic and rich mansion, lanterns with her name and emblem were hung everywhere, swaying slightly with the people who came and the wind.

Focusing the eyes on the center of the empty courtyard, a queen with ghost horns on her head and a white coat on her shoulders was holding two swords and slashing in the courtyard.

Every knife and every strike was so smooth, cutting through the sky and cutting through the fallen leaves.

Even after the leaves fell, the invisible sword energy did not stop, and fell on the small trees in the yard one after another, inflicting new wounds before the old ones were healed.

The momentum unleashed by every sword move was no less than that of Izumo who was far away. With such powerful strength and the fact that he was wielding swords and guns at will in the mansion, the opponent's identity was obvious.

"Coming? Kaohsiung."

"Yes, Lady Mikasa." Kaohsiung stopped, his long and beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings stood straight, and he stood behind her.

After she put away her stance and turned around, he spoke again.

"This is a letter from that person to you. Please take a look."

Mikasa took the letter handed to her by Kaohsiung and opened it quickly. When she saw the contents with her own eyes, her calm state of mind after practicing martial arts was instantly broken, and she was slightly surprised.

"After all, Yunxian's handwriting is good. This guy...finally wrote me a letter." Mikasa smiled and sighed involuntarily.

Then, Mikasa hurriedly thought about her business again, put down the letter in her hand, turned to look at Kaohsiung, and gave an order excitedly.

"Go down and prepare. The final moment... is about to come."

Chapter 334: Sword Pointing to the Capital

Next, the situation developed just as Musashi and others had expected. Gunma fell, followed by several surrounding cities.

In the blink of an eye, compared to Akagi's defense of the isolated city, in less than two months, almost half of the Sakura Empire fell into their hands.

At this point, we have the strong capital to compete with others and even dominate the world.

People outside the city wanted to get in, and people inside the city, having heard of his reputation, also wanted to get out.

Coincidentally, at a certain time of the day, Mikasa's letter arrived and went directly to Zhou Xuan's tent, causing a heated debate.

Akagi spoke first.

"I think this is inappropriate, Zhou Xuan, please listen to me."

"I know Mikasa, and I know her best. She won't go along with Musashi, and her request may be sincere."

"But I think that even though this letter came from her, given the current situation in Sakura Empire, it is impossible for Musashi to be completely unprepared."

"She held her ground and ignored the fact that local cities fell one after another. I think her purpose was to compete with us in Kyoto Prefecture."

"Thinking further, this might be a trap she set up to bypass Mikasa. If you go there now, wouldn't you be walking into a trap?"

"So, I don't agree with you taking risks."

Akagi's suspicion is not without reason. As she said, the recent actions of the court are really too bizarre.

Their deliberate siege without attacking, specifically aimed at blocking reinforcements, completely failed.

The central army all hid in Kyoto Prefecture and did not go out, watching them succeed one by one. Even though they received letters one after another, they ignored them.

However, there are people who hold different opinions, such as Amagi, whose opinion is opposite to Akagi's.

"I don't agree with your idea, Akagi. I don't think Musashi and the others would have such amazing courage."

"After all, abandoning so many cities and putting all the chips on the capital is really irrational."

"If we really fight, the losses will be immeasurable. It's fine if we win, but if we lose, Musashi and the others will lose their foothold and have nowhere to retreat."

"So, regarding Mikasa's plan of cooperating with the outside forces, my husband and I agree that we should give it a try."

"Sister Tiancheng, you..." Akagi clenched her teeth, wanting to say something but stopping herself, as if she had endless words to say.

The next second, the quarrel broke out again, leaving Zhou Xuan and Kaga aside and unable to do anything but watch.

On one side is his wife, and on the other side is his sister-in-law, with whom he is already married. It is really hard to bear.

Zhou Xuan was still thinking about how to resolve the argument between them when he suddenly felt a hot breath coming from his ears. It turned out to be Kaga's voice.

"Oh, we're arguing again. Because of you, this family is always not peaceful now."

"Tell me yourself, what crime should you be charged with?"

Kaga was scolding him with one hand, but his other hand was not behaving either. After moving around his heart and chest, he stared at his ears, seemingly biting them.

"Can you blame me for this? Kaga-san, tell me yourself, is this reasonable?"

Zhou Xuan snorted coldly, and his eyes moved, and his peripheral vision was cast on Kaga's face.

The reason why he suddenly called her Kaga Xiaosan was not to belittle others, but simply because Zhou Xuan called her based on her status in the family.

Amagi is the eldest, Akagi is the second, and as the youngest of the sisters, she is naturally the mistress. The logic is quite reasonable.

And Kaga also understood Zhou Xuan's meaning from a moment of trance, and he followed up with a budding smile filled with unspeakable joy, which came out of his mouth along with charm.

"I don't know if it's appropriate or not, but I only know that it's time for me to fulfill my duties as a mistress~"

"Zhou Xuan... my dear brother-in-law, why don't we just let them quarrel and find a place to be happy alone?"

It has to be said that under the pressure of Kaga, Zhou Xuan was quickly moved following his own instinct.

He glanced sideways at the two sisters who were still arguing fiercely, and was about to go along with it and accept Kaga's kindness, but he heard it again.

"Husband~Kaga~Where are you going?" This was Amagi's voice. For no reason, she stopped arguing and turned her eyes to the two people hugging each other.

"Also, what were you talking about in private just now? You were acting sneaky, and it felt like there was nothing good going on." In a blink of an eye, Akagi also joined in.

Although her words were sarcastic, she did not make things difficult for Zhou Xuan, but instead focused her attention on Kaga.

Especially the wrinkled collar, the huge scenery on both sides is clearly visible.

The overall tone was one of accusation and reproach. Kaga met her gaze calmly, adjusted his clothes casually, and then answered.

"Just like you, I am just discussing the rationality and correctness of going to the capital alone. There is no other meaning."

Although he seems dull and like a mute person, Kaga is actually quite capable.

Knowing what was more urgent, she cleverly used the ready-made topic and lightly directed everyone's attention back to Mikasa's letter.

And through their own mouths, they can directly ask the issues that they are most concerned about.

"So, have you decided? Do you want to proceed step by step, or take an extreme approach?"

Is this an unconventional move... After listening to Kaga's words, Zhou Xuan fell silent.

Zhou Xuan was clear about Mikasa's reply, which was the result of his prior discussion with Yunxian.

A careful analysis shows that this unconventional approach does carry a considerable degree of risk.

If used properly, this trump card of internal and external cooperation will bring them unimaginable benefits, and the long-standing troubles in the Sakura Empire will come to an end.

He should give it a try both morally and logically, and both for public and private reasons.

And when he personally said his answer and proposed to go to Kyoto Prefecture in person to discuss the plan with Mikasa, Yunxian who had arrived also responded.

"It's heroic and heart-wrenching, great!"

Yun Xian pushed aside the door curtain and slowly moved forward. She stared at Zhou Xuan closely, letting his figure fill her pupils.

After a long time, he finally revealed a smile that looked like relief.

"He's a real man. I really didn't make a mistake in his character."

This is Yunxian's personal evaluation of him, which may be mixed with her many personal emotions.

But no matter what, in her opinion, with such moral character, Zhou Xuan is worthy of being the great sage who saved Chongying in the prophecy, and he is also the great hero in her mind.

But even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beauty, and worry is the most depressing thing. In order to let everyone put their worries aside completely, Yunxian turned around and volunteered to speak towards Tiancheng.

"Don't worry, everyone. This is the method that Zhou Xuan and I discussed. His safety will naturally be my responsibility."

"Not only am I on this trip, but there's also someone else coming with me. Her strength is no less than mine, and... you all know her~"

Author's words

Sorry, some things happened recently, so I may have to update the follow-up content as time goes by and finish the book ahead of time.

So far, I plan to write up to 350 chapters, which means there are only about 16 chapters left to the end.

The trip to Sakura Empire is the last event. It is a different plot that I imagined based on other types of KanColle novels.

Because it involved the Sakura Empire in the past, most of the stories were about Akagi going crazy to save his sister, or Amagi becoming seriously ill and the protagonist coming to the rescue in times of crisis. Almost many people wrote in this way.

To be honest, it's a bit boring, so I wanted to create something different and contrasting, like the elder sister is intact and healthy, but the younger sister is seriously ill in bed, and there is also the power of a ship girl but no common sense in using the ship equipment.

I personally think it is quite interesting and I was very motivated to write it. Unfortunately, my writing skills are still not able to support the core of the story. The structure of the characters is inevitably a bit lengthy and boring.

Although I will update it randomly from now on, I will try my best to squeeze out time and finish it in about half a month. Thank you to all the readers who have supported me all the time. I will always remember your silent support in my heart.

Thank you.
