'Click, click, click. '
The girl left,
All that was left was the sound of the Gu insects chewing contentedly.
This feeling of pleasure of accumulating all the delicious food together and then feasting on it is very different for each species.
The Daimyo of Nishitani is still sitting on the throne;
However, compared to before, there was no trace of a monarch's posture on his face, and his formerly straight back completely collapsed into the throne as if it had lost all its strength.
According to his assumption, no matter how bad the situation is, no matter how helpless he is, he can at least have an equal dialogue with that person in the name of a symbolic monarch and as a king.
However, in the end, he didn't even see that person's face.
The person who came was just a subordinate of the other party.
[From now on, we will operate in this country as the 'Thunder Light Group'. 】
[I hope you will take care of yourself. 】
The simple words left by the girl were like an indelible iron mark, engraved fiercely and deeply on his soul.
He suppressed all the words and rhetoric he had prepared.
She said, listen,
That's it, no other unnecessary options.
Everyone believed that the Kingdom was superior to the Ninja Village.
But in fact,
In the face of absolute power, royal power is not worth mentioning at all!
Especially when the other party doesn't want to talk to you, doesn't want to have a dialogue with you, and doesn't want to have any communication with you.
There is only one thing you can do: silently grit your teeth and bear it all.
At that moment, Nishitani Hiroaki once again clearly understood this.
And there is one thing he is sure of,
If he had not sent doctors working for the Daming Mansion to help three days ago based on his neutral will, then his final fate would probably be no different from that of half of the officials who also became fodder for Gu insects.
After all, what that person wanted was just a string puppet that could speak and write.
That's all.
【well. 】
Nishitani Hiroaki let out a long sigh in his heart.
If I had been able to predict the current outcome earlier, and not have that shallow hope, and not hope that Konoha Hidden Village would end up doing something, things probably wouldn't have fallen to this point, right?
However, there is no going back.
"Let's all disperse."
I do not know how long it has been,
I only knew that the bones piled up in the main hall were devoured by Gu insects in an instant, and I felt that the tepid sunlight fell into the silent inner hall again. As a daimyo, he could only speak with a bitter and tired voice. Break the silence.
These words were like the early sun in the cold winter, causing the dead silence of the inner palace to begin to break the ice.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The remaining dozens of officials looked at each other and responded piecemeal.
It's just that their voices were weak and trembling, and the sound of dozens of people falling was not as clear and loud as the voice of Nishitani Daimyo. It was obvious that they had not woken up from the nightmare just now.
But looking at the inner hall, which didn't even have any scraps of flesh or bones left,
If it weren't for the strong smell of blood that lingers in the air, and if it weren't for the fact that the magnificent palace doors in the past were just hanging on the door frames in pieces, they would have really thought that this was just an extremely realistic illusion, a scene that had faded away. nightmare.
"I'll take my leave."
Weak voices all followed, and the remaining officials turned around and left in compliance with the words.
But just as they were halfway through the journey, still a few feet away from the palace entrance, their king's warning quietly sounded in their ears:
"Hirohito Furui and the gang members he attracted deserved their current fate."
"During his reign, he did not think about how to stabilize the country, but he was bent on colluding with external forces for personal gain and allowing rogue bandits to ravage the kingdom. These things and these facts must have been heard by everyone."
"Now that these rebellious officials and traitors have returned to dust, the past has become a thing of the past."
"From now on, the Thunder Light Group will be the ninja force that takes over the country of Yu."
"I hope you can clearly understand this, don't do anything that violates your responsibilities, think about the consequences of your words and deeds, and think about whether they will affect other innocent companions."
After a slight pause, Nishitani Hiroaki continued to add:
"At least for now, those ninjas have not done anything to harm the residents, nor have they asked for or advanced any payment."
"On the contrary, all these external forces and Xiaoxiao that are difficult to drive away and cure have been eliminated."
Such superficial maintenance and recognition,
It was the king who compromised.
Whether this compromise was due to the strength shown by that person, he had to choose to surrender; or it was a decision made because the purge action launched by the other party was really in line with the overall interests of the country of Tang.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Now, the Thunder Light Group has become an officially recognized mercenary force in the Kingdom of Tang, which is Wang Luo's will.
However, the two shallow reasons mixed in are indeed facts.
Over the years, everyone has seen the little actions of Hirohito Furui and his gang.
But there is no one and no one to argue or stop anything.
Even Yamada Seiki, who has had some verbal confrontations with him in recent days, only chose to fight and implicitly take sides because he saw another possibility after the turmoil in Uchiha Ara.
In the past, he just turned a blind eye and guarded his one-third of an acre of land.
At the same time, the Lei Guang Tuan showed that they did not ask for anything, did not force anything, and only made a declaration to take over the kingdom, which also made the remaining dignitaries feel more at ease.
At least their lives are safe, and their lives in the short term are unlikely to be worse than before, and may even develop in a good direction.
[However, the Thunder Light Group. 】
【Thunder Light Group! 】
After echoing in unison with his colleagues' scrawled voices.
Yamada Joshi seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly replied:
"Your Majesty, I seem to have heard of the name Thunder Light Group. It seems to be a righteous thief organization that once circulated in the Bamboo Village area, but there has been no news from a few years ago."
"I wonder if the ninja who followed him are the same group from the past."
Due to the terrifying situation just now, except for the Nishitani Daimyo, who was born with pride and kingly power, everyone else was emotionally dominated by the endless sea of insects and the scarlet blood dragon, and did not care at all what the girl said. What, what does that code name represent?
It was only afterward, when their minds had calmed down a little, that they gradually came to an impression.
"If, if they are really the righteous thieves of the past, if those people can still maintain their old ways."
"Then, Your Majesty,"
"The Kingdom of Tang may be able to usher in a turning point for revival, and even be reborn!"
Speaking of this, Yamada Seiki's voice had more emotion and his face gained some color.
After all, so far, all those the other party has eliminated are ministers with gray resumes, and those purged are also people from external forces. It has not affected at all the ministers who still have some conscience and have not chosen to be complicit in the general environment and the ordinary residents living here!
Hearing this, the remaining dozens of powerful ministers couldn't help but look at Yamada Seishi, who was a little excited.
In the brief silence, they all subconsciously began to seriously consider such words and the current situation, and a different look of distinction and fear gradually appeared on their faces.
these years,
They have forgotten when they started to choose to lie down and stay out of things;
He also forgot the solemn oath he had made to his king and the people of the city.
All that can be done is not to join the ranks of those completely corrupt and rebellious ministers.
And looking back on the past,
The beginning of all this chaos was probably the day Tangyin Village was defeated and massacred, and they chose to hide from the world and no longer cooperate to protect this land.
With no power, no independent Ninja Village, and abundant resources and geographical location, the Kingdom of Yu, even if it claims to have forgotten war and claims to be peaceful, how can it survive alone in this troubled world with undercurrents?
However now,
The one who came, not only expelled all the Xiaoxiao, but also uprooted the evil sect hidden in the darkness. Such strength and attitude were infinitely more powerful than the Tangyin Village of the past!
Perhaps the time has finally come to end the chaos in the Kingdom of Yu and revitalize the entire kingdom?
Such words also made Nishitani Hiroaki, who was drowning in dejection, slightly straighten up, and his eyes full of vicissitudes of life slowly became vivid when they met Yamada Seomi's eyes that gradually became brighter and more determined.
In the final analysis, what he just said was essentially just a compromise because the other party was too powerful. It was just rhetoric to appease the remaining ministers, and it was a step to find for himself!
but,
If he and Tang Zhiguo open up to accept and choose the Thunder Light Group, what will the situation be like?
Different from other external forces whose interests come first, it is different from Tangyin Village who is weak and reclusive.
perhaps,
perhaps!
"Your Majesty, if Yamada-senpai mentioned something, it might really be possible."
"Forgive me for overstepping my bounds. Those powerful ninjas could have leveled this place without any effort."
Another person agreed,
Although the words are a little offensive and extreme, they are true.
The Kingdom of Frost next door is also a puppet regime in a sense, but they are even more embarrassed and embarrassed than their current position.
After all, due to many factors, Yunyin Village was not able to directly take over that country.
They are just squeezing out the interests that belong to the Kingdom of Frost under the guise of assisting in defense.
"Kings........"
"Kings........"
I don’t know if it’s out of gratitude for being able to survive, or because I’ve seriously thought about it from the perspective of Yu Zhiguo.
Words and words of advice began to be heard in the inner hall.
For a moment, they all seemed to have forgotten the fear just now and the fear buried deep in their hearts, and some only had a glimpse of the future.
Such a voice drove away the sadness and decadence on Nishitani Hiroaki's face even more.
Although he also knew that the words of comfort and protection he just said were just for expediency and to stabilize the current situation.
But maybe?
Maybe everything will develop in a good direction?
The one who dared to face the forces that Tangyin Village did not dare to provoke;
What Tangyin Village couldn't do, the Thunder Light Group could easily erase!
With such a current situation and such a backing, as long as the key between the two is maintained, will it get worse in the future?
No,
Absolutely not!
Nishitani Hiroaki is very sure of this!
Moreover, this kind of relationship, this kind of sharing of burdens, is better than the relationship where one person has to face many neighboring powers alone, be careful and walk on thin ice to ensure his own attitude, not be biased, not take sides, and always pay attention to the differences between several major ninja villages. Relationships come so much easier.
At the moment, the only thing worthy of discussion and hesitation is one thing:
The Lightning Regiment belongs to that tribe,
And that ninja who is still affiliated with Konoha on the surface has such a relationship. Once the two sides break up, then for the entire country of Yu...
No, judging from that character, the current layout, and Konoha's attitude towards that clan.
Such a conflict is bound to break out!
Even such an outbreak is completely expected! !
Once that day comes, it will be a blessing or a curse for Tang Zhiguo.
Yes, with his eyesight, he admitted that the strength and power displayed by that person had completely left Tangyin Village behind in its heyday.
But the neighboring Fire Country Konoha is the truly eternal behemoth!
While occupying the most central position and the most fertile land on the entire continent, the four regions of southeast, northwest and northwest are also the four most famous ninja villages.
Being able to gain a foothold in such an environment shows the strength of Konoha and how terrifying Konoha's heritage is.
Compared with this, the power of a clan and the heritage of a small country are really not worth mentioning.
Do I need to keep up with this huge gamble?
One thought may lead to fame, and one thought may lead to eternal disaster.
Nishitani Hiroaki's thoughts began to gather together, and his eyes swept over the ministers below who abandoned their fear and expressed expectations.
They are thinking about:
"With such help, we may be able to break this century-old pattern in the near future and make the Country of Tang one of the sixth largest countries!"
they are talking
"Without those bastards who fall in love with other countries, the air in the hall has become a lot cleaner, and everything is moving in a good direction."
They are waiting,
Waiting for your final decision.
Seeing this scene, an inexplicable passion surged up from the bottom of Daimyo Nishitani's heart.
In the past, when he ascended the throne, he had grand ambitions and had a grand plan to do something big.
His late father named him [Hongming] in the hope that one day he would be able to complete the great cause that he had not yet achieved, and be able to treat people with courtesy and govern the Kingdom of Tang in an orderly manner, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and become a true " Peace'land.
However, half a year passed,
However, I live cautiously, walking on thin ice, and I don’t know where my previous ambitions have been buried.
Should this life continue?
Nishitani Hiroaki asked himself.
No,
don't want.
He has been neutral all his life, and at least wants to make a big gamble in the last stage of his life! !
"Immediately send letters to the big names, dignitaries, and ninja leaders of various countries. The Kingdom of Yu refuses the defense cooperation of the Kingdom of Iron, and from today onwards, it begins to hire the local [Thunder Light Regiment] as its own exclusive mercenaries."
Nishitani Daimyo emphasized the words "Iron Country" and "Homeland".
The intention is to transfer the attention of other forces from the Kingdom of Tang to the Kingdom of Iron, and it is also to 'clear' the relationship with that person.
Although this doesn't mean much, it probably won't escape the eyes of those old foxes at all.
But superficial work still needs to be done.
After hearing such a decision, all the powerful officials present showed a hint of excitement.
It seems that they have seen a future where they are independent and respected by other forces.
"From now on, any ninja or samurai from any force who wants to use the Kingdom of Yu will need permission. Entering without permission will be regarded as an invasion and you will be responsible for the consequences."
Nishitani Hiroaki continued to add, and the look on his face became solemn and firm.
This is a very difficult decision to make, but it is also the first step to restore sovereignty and let other forces pay attention to Tang Country!
"yes."
The chorus of responses below was very dull, and they all knew what it would mean once they did so.
But no one objected.
"My subordinates will do it now."
Yamada Jingsi bowed and left.
However, before he could take a step forward, Nishitani Hiroaki suddenly stood up from the throne:
"etc,"
"Prioritize informing the Thunder Group about this matter before that person leaves."
"If there is anything that needs to be adjusted, just do it without asking me."
"At the same time, the date for sending the letter will also be changed to when the person is expected to return to Konoha."
Although this kind of blinding method is still of little use, there is a big difference between doing it and not doing it.
"Here!"
Yamada Jōsi did not dare to neglect, responded in a deep voice and left quickly.
After arranging all this, Nishitani Hiroaki breathed a deep sigh of relief.
He subconsciously looked outside the palace door. At this moment, the bright sunshine was pouring in, and the previous sense of darkness was also dispelled.
And in the dancing light and shadow, he seemed to see a familiar but vague young figure.
The man stood as tall as a pine tree, full of energy.
The man seemed to be saying something to King Nuo, and during this period, he could still see his gesture of scolding Fang Qiu.
[I, Hiroaki Nishitani, hereby swear that after taking office, I will make the Kingdom of Tang a peaceful and beautiful country, where the people can live and work in peace and contentment! 】
The faint voice that reached his ears made his old eyes become moist.
【Feel sorry. 】
[It may be cashed in, but it’s a bit late. 】
[But please wait for me. 】
