Chapter 34 The Game of Human Nature
Chapter 34 The Game of Human Nature
Liu Yufei did not see the Qilin God, so he had to return the way he came, while the Lord of the Tribes continued to gather the various tribes together.
"What did the Qilin God say?!"
Actually, the person involved is quite resentful of the Qilin God right now. Upon seeing this, Liu Yufei immediately said:
"Following the instructions of the Qilin God, we have received his blessing!"
After saying that, Liu Yufei slowly emitted a wave of light from his nostrils, which instantly covered the body of the person involved.
"What?! Ah!!! My eyes!!"
"Chief, this is the blessing of the Qilin God!!"
"Great! I can see again! This time we're going to win big!"
The protagonist had been blind for many years, and he never expected to see again. At this moment, he was full of confidence and determined to slaughter all the Tatars to avenge the gods.
"Chief, we should plan this carefully and not act rashly, or we will fall into the trap of the humans!"
"We are the bravest tribe, and we will never retreat. Once the entire tribe is assembled, we will launch a general offensive!!"
Clearly, even knowing human cunning, the person involved wanted to confront them head-on, which gave Liu Yufei a real headache! If they fought head-on, wouldn't it just be like in the animation? He then continued to comfort them:
"I have never denied the bravery of our warriors, but this is not a war for our pig tribe, but a war for the entire forest. It doesn't matter if we sacrifice ourselves, but what about the forest? I hope you can have a proper talk with the wolf tribe!!"
You have to give these hillbillies some emotional value, otherwise these pigs are just hotheads.
"Okay! Alright!!"
Seeing that the client was reluctant to agree, Liu Yufei knew that this matter wouldn't be so easy, but if it really came to a last resort, Liu Yufei wouldn't abandon the situation. After all, he was now a member of the Pig Clan!
Not to mention that Liu Yufei was so good at acting that he fooled himself, a few days later, war broke out on Dadala's side as well.
The forest is Dadara's prey, but isn't Dadara also someone else's prey?
"Hurry, hold the line! Get up there quickly and protect the food supplies!!"
It seems the transport team has been ambushed again. Fortunately, Huanji is used to it and was prepared. As the barricades were set up, the musketeers behind Huanji were also ready.
"Ready, ignite..."
bang bang bang...
At Huanji's command, the warriors were deliberately brought closer, and countless tongues of fire erupted. After the smoke cleared, only severed limbs remained, and the surviving vanguard immediately retreated in panic.
Firearms are far superior to cold weapons. Take the Warring States period for example: Takeda Shingen, whose cavalry was invincible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to establish the Nobunaga Encirclement Network.
But what happened in the end? He still fell to the line muskets and died in despair. The advent of firearms also signaled the end of the era of knights.
Bang, bang...
Huanji was an excellent marksman; almost every shot she fired took down an officer. Soon, the samurai who had come to plunder all retreated.
Meanwhile, atop the hill, the monk with the bumpy hair, watching the battle below, couldn't help but mutter:
"It's time to let Dadara contribute some of their strength. Honestly, Eboshi isn't our enemy."
Indeed, the monk Geda's enemies were not these daimyo, but Princess Huan's enemies were those who had come together only because they shared common interests, and the monk Geda didn't care about Dadara's life or death.
This was something Monk Geda had planned long ago. He had lent the guns to the Phantom Maiden's musket team, partly because Dadara used it as his base and as the vanguard for hunting down the Kirin God.
The battle ended quickly, with Dadara emerging victorious. However, Princess Eboshi knew that this was just the beginning. As long as Dadara remained, these people would continue to harass her. She needed a major battle to frighten the surrounding daimyo and ensure Dadara's safety for the time being.
With the appearance of the monk with the lumps, this great battle is not far off.
"Great, they're back!!"
The most excited were the women of Dadara, who had been eagerly waiting at the gates of Dadara, partly to welcome the return of the Phantom Princess.
Of course, if Huanji fails, they will be the best backup.
The monk with the bumpy nose jumped down from the hillside, and the two musketeers spotted him immediately.
"Master, you've arrived?"
"Hmm! So, how about it? Can this woman still be used by me?"
"Master, they've developed a new weapon!"
"I saw it too, they're spreading rumors that we're retreating!!"
The monk Geda certainly saw Dadala's flintlock musket, but he still didn't take it seriously. His purpose in coming down to talk was to confirm whether the musketeers had changed their minds. As long as the musketeers were still in his hands, he wasn't afraid of what trouble Huanji might cause.
Huanji is indeed clever and courageous, after all, she was able to establish Dadala City in this defiled land, but that's just how the world is. You're not the only clever one; clearly, Monk Geda is even more shrewd than Huanji.
[I was tricked by a thug, and all I did was be poor! But if you were tricked by an even bigger thug, he'd want your life. You think you're smart? He's smarter than you!] ---- "Sunrise" by Li Shiqing
This game of human nature has now drawn everyone in; it's not a game you can simply choose not to play. Because everyone's stakes are their lives.
After saying this, the monk with the lumps headed towards Huan Ji. Huan Ji had actually seen him arrive long ago, but she still whispered:
"Master, how have you been?!"
"Hehe, Leader Huanji, our master is urging us to deliver the goods!! We can't afford to focus our attention on these country warriors."
Indeed, the identity of the monk Geda has always been a mystery, but judging from his tone at this moment, he is someone who can reach the ears of the heavens directly, otherwise there would be no leftover paper from the Heavenly Locust.
Therefore, in his eyes, Dadara and Marquis Asano were just commoners from the countryside, mere peasants, born like ants, dying like dust, their lives as worthless as grass.
Huanji naturally knew what Geda the monk was asking for, and she knew even more that she was asking a tiger for its skin, but at this moment she did need help, so she also expressed her own request.
"Lord Asano is summoning daimyo from all directions, you must know that, right?"
"I know a little about him. Marquis Asano, he's a very important person!"
That's why they call him a master. He just said he was a nobody from the countryside, and now he's suddenly a big shot.
"He wants us to give him half of the iron ore!!"
Clearly, Huanji didn't want to say much. She knew what role Geda the monk was playing, so she directly brought up the issue of interests, since touching on interests is harder than touching the soul.
"Hahaha, his appetite is too big, isn't it? But we don't have time to fight them right now! A large group of wild boars has already gathered, and I need your strength. To avoid unnecessary trouble, handing over a portion of the iron ore is only temporary."
At first, they said that Marquis Asano had a big appetite, but then they immediately made Princess Genki hand over some of the benefits.
In fact, the monk wouldn't care if he handed over all the iron ore lumps, since it wasn't him who would suffer, and he couldn't care less whether Dadala lived or died afterward.
