At the northernmost tip of Zhongzhou Island, the Takeshita family, which controls the narrow strait between Zhongzhou Island and Hokushu Island, is still eating and drinking as usual, and has no idea about any other information except their own territory.
After all, from ancient times to the present, due to the limitations of the terrain, no major forces have ever appeared here.
Therefore, the Takeshita family had no idea of competing for hegemony. They just wanted to wait here quietly for the birth of a powerful leader who would unify the world, and then surrender the city and become an honest aristocratic family.
However, this comfortable life was soon interrupted. The current head of the Takeshita family, Takeshitayama, received a report from his subordinates and was shocked: "What are you saying? People from Hokushu Island are now pouring towards us. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees, and warships from several families have landed on the coast?!"
"Yes, my lord."
The retainers of the Takeshita family were sweating profusely and could only hurriedly report to Takeshita-san: "The number of troops should be around 80,000 to 90,000. Our guards collapsed at the first blow and are simply unable to compete with the Hokushu army!"
Zhuxiashan was somewhat bewildered by this series of words. After a moment's pause, he quickly inquired, "What happened in Beizhou? Why did it cause such a huge disturbance? Why did the Beizhou army attack us?!"
Takeshitayama was full of confusion about the current situation. He didn't understand why such a thing happened. It was such a terrible disaster.
The Takeshita family has always claimed to be a neutral lord, never participating in any war, and is famous for its love of peace.
And now, the lords of the Northern Province actually chose to attack their own territory. This is too terrible.
"My Lord, I heard from the refugees who fled from Beizhou that there is a big problem on Beizhou Island."
A flash of fear crossed the retainer's face. He swallowed hard, suppressing his fear as he reported to Takeshita-san, "Natsui Castle, the main castle of the Nara Clan in Hokushu, has become a den of horror. The coalition forces of eighteen Hokushu daimyo, along with the head of the Abe Clan, perished there. Of the hundreds of thousands, only a few thousand have returned alive."
"And the demons and monsters in Xiayi City are also continuing to expand. Wherever the demons capture a city, no grass grows and blood flows for thousands of miles."
The retainer paused, then continued, "So, seeing the dire situation, the people of Northern Province panicked. Some of the petty names formed an alliance and came to Zhongzhou Island to try to survive."
"Damn it, what are we going to do if they come?"
Takeshitayama's face darkened, and he was very dissatisfied with these small families who came to seek refuge. "Hurry up and ask Master Tian Yuqingzhong to come and preside over justice and make the decision for us!"
Although the Takeshita family does not want to fight against a family and wants to seek refuge with the overlord of the world, it does not mean that they want to rely on a small family.
If the Nara family, the first family in Hokushu, came to seek refuge, then Takeshitayama would naturally offer timely assistance, hoping that the Nara family could make a comeback and remember his kindness. If they could unify the world in the future, he would give them a better position.
But these small families that were more trouble than help were not so good. They didn't even have the courage to face danger. When faced with problems, they fled in panic. With 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers, they didn't even know how to resist. Such families were not worthy of the Takeshita family's support.
Moreover, in terms of strength alone, the Takeshita family's military strength is almost the same as theirs, so there is no need to be afraid of anything.
After that, Takeshitayama added, "First, gather the troops and keep a close eye on those country bumpkins from the northern states. Don't let them take advantage of our situation and destroy our things."
"Yes, my lord."
The retainer hurriedly bowed solemnly, then retreated and began to mobilize the Takeshita family's army.
To be honest, anyone would be a little uneasy when an army of 80,000 to 90,000 people suddenly appeared in their own territory, let alone the Takeshita family.
......
"It's so scary! They are simply monsters!"
"Spiders, why are they all spiders? How did they perish? An elite force of over 100,000 soldiers were annihilated right on the edge of Xiayi City!"
"Even Abe Tengen, the head of the Abe family, is dead. It seems that Kitashu Island is really doomed."
"I heard that the Abe family has a peerless genius, Abe Jinyuan, who hasn't been seen in millions of years. Shouldn't he be able to defeat the monster on Hokushu Island?"
"Why would this genius from the Abe family do such a thing for us? Abe Tengen is already dead. For the sake of the family's continuation, that genius probably won't do anything."
"That's hard to say. Lord Abe Hitomoto is completely alone. His only living relatives are Lord Abe Tengen and Lord Abe Jigen, who died in Xiayi City. Who knows, Lord Abe Hitomoto might seek revenge for his blood relatives."
"What are you all talking about?! Shouldn't our focus right now be on whether the monsters from Northern Province will chase us to Central Province?"
Not far from the northern coastline of Zhongzhou, in a plain, dozens of small-name coalition forces were stationed together. Under the leadership of four daimyo, they gathered here to discuss and figure out their next plans.
After all, they came from the Northern Province and were considered strangers in the Central Province. They left their homes and came here, and were bound to have conflicts with the original forces here. Therefore, discussing their future plans was the most important thing for them.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I know how you feel."
The leader of the coalition forces, a daimyo from the southern tip of Northern Province, cleared his throat and spoke, "I understand how you all feel. No one wants to be driven out of Northern Province by monsters like a lost dog, but we have no choice. This is the only way we can deal with the current situation."
