Becoming a Demon King from Inuyasha

Xiaoling following him? No, that kind of scene was totally unacceptable.

Forget it, let time prove everything.

I took in a little human girl just out of a momentary compassion, and it was definitely not to find myself a fiancée.

"When will the war be settled?"

Seeing that Seshomaru was unwilling to continue this topic, Yemen did not continue to pester him. He was not like Lingyue Xianji, who would keep playing with a toy once she got it.

It's enough to relieve boredom and relax a little.

"There is no large-scale war in the Kanto region right now. This is not what you are asking about, right?"

"If you're asking when the war can be quelled and the world can be free of conflict, then I can only say that it will take at least a year and a half."

"Although Hojo Ujiyasu is very wise, his family has no roots in the Ou region. The people are all thinking of Date, and the war there will take two to three months to end."

"We have just taken over Tōkaidō, and we still need to inspect the land and govern it to ensure complete control."

"After that, there were Takeda of Kai, Saito of Mino, Rokkaku, Ashikaga, Mori, Miyoshi, Otomo, Shimazu, and many other ambitious people. Only by defeating them one by one can we put an end to this chaotic era."

"One year is an understatement."

Seshomaru was silent for a few seconds, then spoke slowly:

"Lend me an army and I can help you destroy the Takeda family."

? ?

Did the Takeda family offend him? Or did they want to help me, their "father"?

Ye Men looked surprised. Although he didn't know what had happened, he didn't have any opinion about it.

No matter what, having more manpower is never a bad thing.

"No problem. I will have someone form the Fifth Legion overnight and you will be the leader."

Xiaoling on the side had no idea what they were talking about. She was still immersed in the joy of being recognized by Master Seshomaru's parents, her face full of shyness and excitement.

Chapter 84 Fortunately I arrived in time

Early in the morning, in Edo Castle, Oda Nobunaga was wandering alone on the streets. Besides feeling unwilling, he was also full of curiosity about this city.

"With such a city and such a powerful enemy, what exactly should we do to win?"

"We have many brave warriors who can defeat a hundred enemies, but none of them can match those monsters. The magicians hired at high prices are powerless in the face of the human army's rain of arrows and armor."

"As for the monsters, our family has no means to ensure that they will obey us, nor do we have any way to hire them."

"But if the monsters are really much stronger than humans, why are humans the ones occupying those fertile lands? This is enough to prove that humans are not inferior to monsters in strength."

While deep in thought, Oda Nobunaga walked to a shrine.

Looking at the girl in white sitting in front of the stone steps with her head buried in her knees, a look of curiosity appeared on her face.

Most shrines are built in uninhabited mountainous areas or wilderness, but the two shrines here are built on commercial streets. Won't the hustle and bustle of the street break up the quiet atmosphere of the shrine?

And why was she sitting at the door? A guard? Not like that.

Oda Nobunaga thought about it and was about to step forward to talk when a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere beside the girl in white.

"When did you come? Fei."

"last night."

"Have you been sitting here all this time? Why don't you come inside and call me?"

"I think you're probably asleep now, and I don't want to disturb you. Besides, I don't want to be hated by you."

"Given the relationship between us, there's no need to be so formal, right?"

"You are the Yato God who is gaining fame, but I am just a Nora who is hated by everyone. We are no longer the same kind of people."

"That's really heartbreaking, isn't it? If we're not on the same path together, then why did you come to find me?"

"Because I have nowhere else to go."

"Where is my father buried?"

"It has nothing to do with Yatoshin."

"Humph... I don't really want to know anyway. If I had nowhere else to go, I would have been wandering around the world by myself a long time ago."

"Yeah, I know, Yato has always wanted to be free."

"Now that you are free, will you stay with me from now on?"

"That's what I'm here for."

Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga turned around and left silently.

Although I don't understand what the relationship between the two is, it's nothing more than the things between boys and girls.

"I never thought there would be not only monsters but also gods here?"

'Even if I pray to the heavens and tell them that someone here wants to disrupt the order of the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, I'm afraid those high and mighty gods won't pay any attention, right?'

'Perhaps, he will stand on the other side and send the gods' blessings to this city.'

"Even the gods are on Edo's side, how can we mortals win?"

"Sigh... don't think too much about it. I'm just a homeless wanderer now."

Thinking of this, Oda Nobunaga sighed helplessly.

My father would rather die than surrender, so the whole family was arrested.

I thought I would be executed, beheaded, or tortured to death.

Unexpectedly, all his property was confiscated and he was demoted to a commoner.

Although he survived, he was penniless and even having food became a problem.

Fortunately, as women, my mother and several sisters had received some preferential treatment before, and were not searched, and they were able to hide some valuables.

It’s not a problem in the short term, but with too many people in the family, livelihood will become a big problem over a long period of time.

In this regard, the father was worried and sighed from the time he was released yesterday until breakfast this morning. He wanted to commit suicide, but was reluctant to do so.

After all, I didn't die on the battlefield, so I feel even more reluctant to let him go now.

He just lost his money, but his life was guaranteed to be fine, and the women in his family would not be treated unfairly, so it was naturally impossible for him to commit suicide on his own initiative.

"Without money, it is impossible to leave here and go to other daimyo's territory."

"Besides, our Oda clan was easily defeated, and it is only a matter of time before the other daimyo are defeated."

"I have to find a job that can make money. There are too many people in my family. If we live off our savings, we won't have enough food in a month or two."

"Fortunately, the security here is very good, and my father's beautiful concubines have not encountered any trouble."

"Speaking of reason, shouldn't it be fought over normally?"

"It's okay if it's a monster, but why is it that neither the Kanto Kanrei himself nor the human generals reacted at all?"

While deep in thought, Oda Nobunaga suddenly noticed that there were guards posting notices on the wall on the street, so he mixed in the crowd and went over.

"What's going on today? Can anyone read?"

"Why rush? The guards will recite it later, just wait."

"It's a pity that the school only accepts minors, otherwise I would have to go there to study for a few days."

"Come on, if you go to school, who will earn money to support the family? Even if the school provides free meals, the family will always need money."

"That's true. Alas... I didn't think there was anything wrong with being illiterate before, but now notices are posted almost every day, and I always feel a little embarrassed if I can't understand them."

"What's so shameful about this? I don't understand it either."

"Didn't you ask your son to teach you to read?"

"No, that's too embarrassing."

At this time, the guard who had posted the notice slowly turned around, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then shouted:

"Today's announcement——

Article 37: Jiro Yamaguchi, who lives at No. 50, Street , stole a piece of female underwear from his neighbor’s house. He shall be flogged thirty times, fined wen, and given a warning once…”

Oda Nobunaga was speechless. How did they find out about such a trivial matter as stealing underwear? Moreover, they publicized it with such fanfare.

But, it's true, it's really not easy to do bad things in a place full of monsters.

Maybe, when you turn around, you will find a huge monster staring at you.

"Heh... Humans are such a disgrace. What's so great about stealing dirty clothes that only have a few pieces of fabric? Disgusting."

"This is just his problem. Don't raise it to the level of all mankind. Aren't there many scums who like beautiful women among monsters?"

"Wait, why did I hear Yamaguchi say that the underwear was blown into his house by the wind?"

"I heard that the neighbors wanted to borrow money from him, but they didn't get it, so they framed him for stealing underwear."

"Don't talk nonsense. How could there be a problem with Lord Sanada's judgment? Yamaguchi must not want to admit his crime and keeps talking nonsense. His character is not good, and everyone knows it."

Oda Nobunaga had no interest in the quarrels around him and his eyes went straight to the bottom of the notice.

[The Fifth Legion was established last night, with 18 members already. We are now recruiting 40 members. Welcome everyone to sign up. Humans are limited to males aged and above and under . There are no restrictions for monsters. The deadline for registration is tomorrow at sunset...]

Isn't this too fast?

The people in Edo Castle live a good life and probably have no interest in joining the army.

Thinking this way, Oda Nobunaga immediately ran to the registration area written at the bottom of the announcement.

Although he was only 13 years old, Oda Nobunaga loved martial arts since he was a child. When he was a little older, he often went out hunting with his entourage and considered himself a capable military general.

However, even if I rushed to the registration office as soon as possible, there was still a long queue in front of me when I arrived.

Among the dozens of people in front of him, there were human warriors with sturdy builds and strong strength, as well as monsters of various appearances.

At this time, a samurai in the front row suddenly turned around and looked at Oda Nobunaga curiously:

"Why are you so clean? A local resident?"

"You are not?" Oda Nobunaga looked surprised.

“No, I’m from Shimosuke, and I was sleeping last night when I was suddenly woken up by a sound from the sky.

When I went out, I saw a bird demon holding a trumpet and shouting in the sky, saying that the Kanto Kanrei was going to form the Fifth Army and asked those who wanted to sign up to rush to Edo Castle as soon as possible.

"Isn't it still a long way from here?"

"Yes, I met a few monsters on the way here. They heard that I was also here to sign up for the army, so they gave me a ride."

"Are not you afraid?"

"Alas... In the past, I really didn't dare to approach those monsters. But now, every day there are monsters holding loudspeakers and shouting everywhere, announcing the new policies of the governor and the list of humans and monsters who were punished. What is there to be afraid of?"

? ?

Oda Nobunaga was stunned for several seconds, and suddenly reacted:

"Are there notices in all cities?"

"Yes, every day. So now there are fewer and fewer people who dare to break the law and make trouble. Really, the monsters no longer eat people, but become propaganda teams. Who can stand this?"

The warrior sighed helplessly and said with a smile:

"My former master originally wanted to unite with the surrounding daimyo to resist the Kanrei-sama."

"But after the monster came three times with a trumpet, I no longer had any thoughts of resisting, and immediately sent my son here as a hostage."

"If I hadn't had the money, I would have come here a long time ago."

Oda Nobunaga was speechless. Could the monsters be so obedient? Why can we only hear rumors of monsters eating people in Owari?

"Have you heard who the commander of the Fifth Legion is this time?"

"I heard that he was the son of the Kan-ri-sama in his previous life, a famous monster with amazing strength. He could destroy a city with one sword."
