"Tonight at 8 PM, the highly anticipated game will officially launch across the entire star domain! The game's synchronized power will allow humanity to break through the shackles of carbon...
"They say we are damaging the interests of Great Yingzhou and violating the unwritten rules of the Saikaido. They say we are traitors."
"Nonsense! We're here to protect order in Saikaido and mediate between the two factions. But they're disobedient. For the sake of peace in Yingzhou, we'll have to temporarily take care of Hizen. I'll go talk to them, and if they still refuse to listen, I'll kill them all."
"yes."
When Naruto Matsushita arrived at the square and saw the crowd gathered, he couldn't help but frown.
These people actually dared to hold up banners to denounce me.
Then he leaned over to Matsuura Okinobu's ear and whispered softly:
"Have your men quietly surround them first. If they don't disperse later, you'll have to take action."
Since they are against me, let their supporters kill them.
This is called killing someone and destroying their heart.
Naruto Matsushita is well aware of this.
Then he cleared his throat.
"Ahem! I'm Naruto Matsushita. I heard you're very unhappy with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone threw eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at him.
But none of them were thrown at him, as the soldiers had already stepped forward and blocked the objects with their shields.
He said angrily on the spot:
"Do you still want to talk? If not, I'm leaving."
He wasn't threatening; it was completely irrelevant.
The reason he came forward was to build a good reputation in the gaming circle in the future so that he could face less resistance.
But if these people don't appreciate his kindness, then don't blame his butcher knife for being too sharp.
However, there was still a rational player representative who stood up to comfort the players behind him and questioned Panasonic Naruto.
"Mr. Matsushita Naruto, your dispatch of troops this time has no legitimacy at all. You are trampling on the peace between the various forces in Saikaido."
"fart!"
Of course, Panasonic Naruto would not give them the opportunity to accuse others, and continued:
"Our Saikaido is now facing an invasion by the Han Dynasty, but Otomo Sorin of Chikuzen brazenly launched a war against Hizen. He is the sinner of Saikaido. Because the daimyo of Hizen simply couldn't resist Otomo Sorin, then I stepped forward to capture Hizen, allowing Hizen to retain some strength to fight against the Han Dynasty. Am I wrong?"
He said this passionately, entirely for Hizen's sake.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on. This is clearly an excuse.
But they have no way to refute it now.
Then these players had to change the subject:
"So, can you withdraw from Hizen now?"
"Of course not. Otomo Sorin is still in Hizen. If I leave, what will happen to Hizen Castle?"
"Then why don't you go and attack Otomo Sorin?"
"No, my soldiers need to rest after the siege. Once they are done, I will naturally send troops to attack that villain Otomo Sorin."
"Sir Matsushita Naruto, the daimyo of Hizen are fighting hard on the front lines. You can't just stand by and watch them die. Going there now is the perfect opportunity to save them."
Naruto Matsushita sneered:
"What do you know? What kind of fighting power can a tired army have?"
But at this time the players were unhappy, and the noise below became louder.
Seeing this, Matsuura Okinobu was afraid that Matsushita Naruto would get angry, so he took the initiative to step forward and said:
"Greetings, fellow adventurers. I'm Matsuura Okinobu, and I'm still the lord of Hizen Castle. Lord Matsushita Naruto didn't seize it. He's attacking Hizen this time out of kindness, so don't go after him. He's already sent people to negotiate with Otomo Sorin, asking him to withdraw his troops. I'll also notify the daimyo of Hizen to hold on, as reinforcements are on the way. I believe Hizen will be back in our hands soon."
Only after Matsuura Okinobu's words did the adventurers quiet down.
"Matsuura Oshin Daimyo, is this true?"
"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, just wait and see. I guess Lord Matsushita Naruto will send his troops tomorrow."
"That's great."
The players then dispersed.
Naruto Matsushita thought it was a pity. He wanted to let some blood flow and make an example of someone to scare the others.
What Matsuura Okinobu said just now was all nonsense, but the plan to send troops was true.
But the purpose is not to save people, but to catch all those daimyo in one fell swoop.
The next day, it was just dawn.
Naruto Matsushita led the army to the front line with Matsuura Okinobu. Today is the end of the Hizen Daimyo.
The news of their expedition greatly boosted the morale of the daimyo on the front lines.
Yesterday, the daimyo had heard what the daimyo Matsuura Okinobu of Hizen Castle said, so it seems that their Hizen will definitely return to their hands today.
Looking at Otomo Sorin again, it seemed that there was no sign of attack either.
Now the daimyos were almost certain that the other side was planning to withdraw.
The situation of being suppressed and beaten for several days finally passed.
They were not in a hurry to attack at this time, and wanted to take advantage of the arrival of the army to kill them in one go.
So the two sides reached a tacit ceasefire.
The crowd waited for another day, until they saw Matsuura Okinobu, and the daimyos all ran over at the same time.
"Daimyo Matsuura Okinobu, you're finally here. We've been waiting so long for this day."
"Daimyo, when do we launch our attack? That Otomo Sorin looks like he's trying to escape."
"Everyone, the time has come for us to strike back. Everyone, be prepared."
“…”
These ten or so people were talking to each other.
But these daimyos could never have imagined that what awaited them was ruthless suppression.
"Catch them."
Naruto Matsushita spoke without warning, leaving everyone stunned.
But the soldiers did not stop and started to arrest people.
These daimyos looked at Matsuura Okinobu but did not resist.
"Why! Why are you arresting us?"
"Matsuura Okinobu Daimyo, have we done anything wrong? Why are you treating us like this?"
Although Matsuura Okinobu didn't want to do this, it was an order from Matsushita Naruto, so he could only appease him:
"Everyone, please don't resist for now. This is the order of Master Naruto Matsushita. He did it for a reason. For the sake of us Hizen, please be patient for a while."
Only then did Panasonic Naruto speak:
"Only after I captured you did Otomo Sorin agree to let me withdraw my troops. I don't know if one of you offended him, which is why he launched an attack on Hizen."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. They were still trying to recall whether they had offended anyone because of something or something they said.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I felt that there was nothing wrong with me.
Only then did they feel at ease being tied up.
If it's not my fault, then I think Otomo Sorin won't cause trouble for me.
Daimyoji like Panasonic and Naruto are so easy to fool, there is nothing to worry about.
He directly ordered people to go and confiscate their soldiers. At this time, the overall situation could be said to be decided.
Otomo Sorin's mission was also over. He lost a lot of soldiers this time, but the strategic goal had been achieved, and he could be considered to have accomplished a great feat.
