Started from practicing sword in the countryside of the second dimension

"That's unlike you. Do you have so little faith in Nobunaga-sama?"

After Oda Nobunaga walked away, Akechi Mitsuhide walked up to Niwa Nagahide and looked a little confused.

After all, Oda Nobunaga's victory was witnessed by everyone below him, and almost all of his close friends blindly supported Oda Nobunaga and did not think that he would fail at all.

Moreover, unlike in his early years, after obtaining the third eye, Oda Nobunaga was not only extremely powerful in martial arts, but also extremely tolerant towards his subordinates.

Apart from being too friendly to the conquered people and consuming too many supplies, Oda Nobunaga can be said to be a perfect leader.

"…………It's not just because of the rebels. If you haven't been paying attention recently, you may not know that there has been a monster causing trouble in Kyoto a while ago. The hearts and livers of many people in the city have been eaten by monsters."

"A monster that eats hearts and livers?!"

When Akechi Mitsuhide heard Niwa Nagahide talking about ghosts and gods, his eyes narrowed and he immediately realized why the other party was so worried.

After all, most people believe that the reason why Oda Nobunaga is able to win every battle today is because he encountered a monster in Kannonji Castle in Azuchi Town and obtained the third eye from the monster.

The other party's temperament changed from that time. Although Oda Nobunaga was good to his own people before, he was only good in a general sense. He did not have the close relationship with his subordinates like he does now, and he was not as friendly to the common people as he is now.

Although many of Oda's subordinates believed that with the appearance of that eye, he was no longer the original Oda Nobunaga.

But because the current Oda Nobunaga is treating them better, they actually hope that this situation will continue.

If it was an ordinary matter, there would be no need to worry given Oda Nobunaga's military strength, but if it involved matters involving ghosts and gods, the situation would be different.

After all, it was a monster who gave Oda Nobunaga an eye, and if the monster that stole hearts in the city now is as powerful as that monster back then...

No, it doesn't need to be extremely powerful. As long as it is stronger than that eye, Oda Nobunaga has the possibility of being defeated.

And at present, everything that Oda Nobunaga has achieved can almost be said to be dependent on him alone.

Once you die, everything becomes a fantasy.

"Where did Lord Nobunaga go?"

Feeling that something was wrong and perhaps he should have asked Niwa Nagahide to say a few more words, Akechi Mitsuhide turned his head and found that Oda Nobunaga was no longer there.

So he grabbed a messenger coming over and asked about Oda Nobunaga's whereabouts.

"Lord Nobunaga? I just saw Lord Nobunaga walking in that direction."

The messenger who was suddenly grabbed was a little dissatisfied, but when he saw that it was Akechi Mitsuhide who grabbed him, he didn't dare to say anything more. He pointed in a certain direction outside the city and said something.

"That direction is... Honnoji Temple?"

Akechi Mitsuhide looked in the direction the other party pointed for a while, and after thinking about what buildings there were, the name of Honnoji Temple instantly emerged.

"Honnoji Temple, Lord Nobunaga did seem to have said before that he wanted to go to Honnoji Temple to play chess with the abbot there."

"Eh? The monk from Honnoji Temple is fine. That doesn't seem like Lord Nobunaga's style."

When Akechi Mitsuhide heard Niwa Nagahide say that Oda Nobunaga was going to play chess with the abbot of Honnoji Temple, he immediately felt something was wrong.

The reason why Oda Nobunaga was called the Sixth Heaven Demon King was because he slaughtered all the major temples. There was no reason for him to leave Honnoji alone.

"I know about this. It seems that the abbot of Honnoji heard from somewhere that Lord Nobunaga liked to play chess. Before Lord Nobunaga slaughtered the people in Honnoji, he came forward to challenge Lord Nobunaga to a game of chess, hoping that if he won, Lord Nobunaga would release those monks."

"The abbot actually had the ability to make Lord Nobunaga make such a promise?"

"That's what I'm curious about. After all, if we destroy the temple, won't the things inside be confiscated? I wonder what the other party said to make Lord Nobunaga agree."

"This... doesn't feel right. The Honnoji Temple might not be that simple."

The abbot of a temple was actually able to state the conditions that made Oda Nobunaga agree. Akechi Mitsuhide smelled something wrong. Considering the recent movements of the rebels and the monsters in the city, he inexplicably felt uneasy.

"No, no, I feel like there's danger in Honnoji. I have to go find Lord Nobunaga."

"Then I'll go with you."

Akechi Mitsuhide felt something was wrong, and so did Niwa Nagahide.

The two looked at each other, immediately found horses, and headed towards Honnoji Temple.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga had already walked halfway towards Honnoji Temple.

However, when Oda Nobunaga's foal passed by a path, the third eye on his forehead suddenly glanced to the side and stared at a certain location.

"Ok?"

When the eyes above looked over, Oda Nobunaga seemed to sense something, stopped and looked to the side, but because he didn't find anything, he didn't think too much and continued to rush to Honnoji Temple.

However, Oda Nobunaga didn't feel anything, but the generals of the gods far away in Gensokyo sensed something when the eye above his head glanced sideways.

"Eh, this feeling is...Hayuko?"

Kaishen Jiangchen, who suddenly received a signal from a distant body, was stunned for a moment, then sensed it and found that it was a part of his body that sensed Yuyuko, so it sent this signal to his original body.

"The source of the signal is Oda Nobunaga? That means Yuyuko has been reincarnated again... Then we can't let her escape again this time."

Thinking in this way, the general of the gods transferred part of his consciousness to the outside world.

Chapter 315 The enemy is at Honnoji Temple

"Oda Nobunaga is coming, he is coming!"

High up on a hillside where one can see Honnoji Temple, a scout observing from the treetops saw Oda Nobunaga approaching on horseback and instantly greeted the people below.

Here, countless soldiers are mixed among the trees, waiting for the order to rush to Honnoji to defeat the Sixth Heaven Demon King.

"Alas, although it is said that the purpose is to defeat Oda Nobunaga, but Lord Shingen's expectation of the help of monsters is really a bit..."

Realizing that a great war was about to begin, a leader stood at the front with the others, looking at Honnoji while thinking about what had just happened in the meeting.

The monster that appeared after Takeda Shingen was so weird that it really made him uneasy.

"After the monster appeared, Lord Shingen's expression became strange, as if he was in a daze."

Next to this man, another person who was dressed differently from ordinary soldiers spoke. This person was Itagaki Nobukata, a retainer who had followed Takeda Shingen for a long time.

He also felt something was wrong with the meeting just now.

But what he felt was wrong was not borrowing the power of the monster, but that Takeda Shingen, who proposed to borrow the power of the monster, had no reaction after the monster appeared, which was completely different from the usual Takeda Shingen.

If it were the normal Takeda Shingen, even if he would rely on the power of monsters, he would probably try to take the lead in the situation at Conference Mountain.

However, the reality is that the other party did not react at all. After the monster appeared, it became like a puppet that only responded to key words, which was really disturbing.

"You mean, that monster controlled Lord Shingen?!"

The leader of the team was not a direct subordinate of Takeda Shingen, but a general from the Uesugi family who came to support, and this had not been noticed before.

When Itagaki Nobukata mentioned this at this time, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Nine times out of ten, otherwise I can't imagine why Lord Shingen would behave like that."

"Then do we still need to attack Honnoji Temple?"

Hearing that today's action might contain the conspiracy of that monster, the general of the Uesugi family hesitated and began to worry.

"This has nothing to do with that. No matter what happened to Lord Shingen, it is something that needs to be postponed. If we don't take down Oda Nobunaga this time, everything will be meaningless."

"That's right... No matter what conspiracy that monster has, it will be in vain if we don't defeat Oda Nobunaga."

"That's right. As long as Oda Nobunaga doesn't die, the result will be the same. The battle with the monster can only be fought after we kill Oda Nobunaga."

Although they were a little flustered when they first heard the news, they were convinced after talking for a while.

As long as Oda Nobunaga is alive, no matter what conspiracy the monster has, it will be useless.

Even if the other party controls Takeda Shingen, the Takeda Shingen today is not the same Takeda Shingen as before.

These were the only soldiers that Takeda Shingen could mobilize after being driven out of his own territory.

Judging from his performance at the meeting, the other party definitely did not come forward for such a small benefit.

Like these defeated daimyo, it hoped to defeat Oda Nobunaga.

After the victory, whether he carried out conspiracies in secret or transformed himself from an ordinary monster into a revered god, it was much better than Oda Nobunaga being in power.

"He's already inside, it's almost time for us to act."

After the two talked for a while, Chihao saw that Oda Nobunaga had got off his horse and stepped into the gate of Honnoji Temple.

The abbot of Honnoji Temple greeted them at the door and then went inside with Oda Nobunaga.

"Forward, forward, surround the Honnoji Temple in front of us, and don't let anyone get out!!!"

After confirming that Oda Nobunaga had entered, leaders from all directions began to give orders.

In an instant, the soldiers who had been lurking around Honno Temple appeared together and surrounded the temple from the outside like a colony of ants.

However, it is limited to surrounding it.

Because they had seen Oda Nobunaga go in and out of thousands of troops alone, they did not have the courage to open the closed door and rush in to take the enemy's head.

"So far we have done what the monster said. If the other party has no other options and is just teasing us, we can consider escaping at some point."

"If you really want to run away, take me with you."

The people gathered here this time can be said to be the last bit of fighting power that the losers can muster, and all of them have been exposed in order to encircle and suppress Oda Nobunaga.

If they failed to keep Oda Nobunaga here this time, they would not be able to organize a team of the same size at all.

Not to mention that they chose to make this last stand today because they were defeated by Oda Nobunaga on the front battlefield.

If we fail, the morale of the army will be broken and there will be no chance of a second try.

"Oh~ You don't trust me at all?"

Just as the two were discussing as if no one was around, a soldier behind them suddenly changed his expression and a female voice came out of his mouth.

"what?!"

"Is he hiding in our team?"

"Wait, wait, what did you do to these people?!"

When they heard the monster's voice, the two men were startled at first, but after turning around, they felt more angry.

Because almost half of the soldiers who were originally following them had fallen to the ground, with an obvious big hole in their chest.

"As long as we can kill Oda Nobunaga, any sacrifice is worth it... Isn't that what you daimyo said?"

The monster chuckled, not taking these dead soldiers seriously at all. In her hands, a huge blood-red sphere was visibly gathered, which seemed to be made of the lives of these soldiers.

"That means dying in the battle with Oda Nobunaga, and now we haven't even made contact yet, and you, a monster, have already killed so many people... Damn it, I really shouldn't have relied on the power of monsters."

With two swishes, the two team leaders took out their weapons from their waists and looked at the monster with serious faces.

Although they knew that this monster would definitely betray them, they thought that it would only do so after the battle with Oda Nobunaga.

I didn't expect that the other side couldn't hold back and killed so many soldiers before the fight even started.

"Heh, it seems like we have no intention of cooperating to the end... But don't worry, I have no intention of breaking the agreement at the moment."

"You've already killed so many people, what are you talking about? Do you think we can still trust you after doing this?!"

"So, these are necessary sacrifices. Only with these sacrifices can we kill the Oda Nobunaga you want to kill."

Chapter 316: Burning Honnoji Temple

"Forget it, it seems that I can only show you with actual actions."

The monster that killed a bunch of humans behaved pretty much the same as it did in the previous meeting, just looking around.

The people around, including the two generals, did not dare to actually attack the monster.

After all, the other party killed so many soldiers in the blink of an eye, regardless of whether they did so by hiding in the queue and launching a sneak attack.

Being able to kill them easily means that the other party can also easily kill those who survived.

Therefore, the people around have seen the tragic deaths of their compatriots and the horror of monsters, but because of fear and terror, they are still using the reasons given by the monsters to convince themselves.

The monster also noticed this and did not continue killing. Instead, it raised the blood-colored sphere that was generated by killing the soldiers just now.

"Although I don't know what kind of monster gave Oda Nobunaga an eye on his head, but judging from his performance, the one who gave him the eye must be a rare and powerful monster... It would be extremely difficult for you mortals to defeat him. Fortunately, I am kind-hearted and came to help you."

"Your so-called help is to massacre us, you damn monster!"

Facing the monster with a smile on his face, Itagaki Nobukata felt a surge of anger and couldn't help but scold.

"Oh my, you are really impatient. This won't do. If you want to kill me, you can't show this expression on your face. Otherwise... Ha, look, you have become one of them."

"Gu... Damn you, you monster."
