Chapter 286 Insidious
Roddy was tall and his armor was a bit inappropriate, but fortunately he rode on the horse, so he couldn't tell it. But the old magician put on the armor and looked quite fit. The old magician sighed and smiled, "There are only two horses here, but we have three people. What should I do?"
Nidisi's eyes rolled and she smiled, "You are naturally pretending to be Oda Nobunaga's cavalry. I, of course, are you captives. Even if others see it, they probably think you are evil soldiers and forcefully rob the civilians."
He looked at the two cavalrymen who were stripped of only close clothes, and the two unlucky guys were trembling in the cold wind, but they did not dare to resist at all in their eyebrows, looking as if they were down and pleasing to their eyes.
Roddy frowned and said, "Where are these two guys? Did they kill them with one knife?"
Nidis showed a disgusting expression: "No, it's bloody and so disgusting." Roddy went up and kicked them out. Nidis smiled and said, "Okay, let's go find that boy Kikugawa Yukien now. I believe that he will be so excited that he will cry bitterly when he sees us."
I just learned about the current situation of the Dwarf Kingdom from the cavalry. Sure enough, because of the battle in Kyoto, it brought great turmoil to the Dwarf Kingdom!
The war in Kyoto not only destroyed the entire Kyoto, but also ended the shogunate and the palace.
Fortunately, Kikugawa Yukien and Oda Nobunaga survived miraculously.
It turned out that night, General Kikugawa was very cunning. From the assassination during the day, he could vaguely feel something was wrong with Oda Nobunaga, so he handed over the investigation to his youngest son, Yukizuki, who has always been regarded as a waste. Although Yukizuki Kikugawa has never been reused, because of that turmoil, his eldest son has basically died because of rebellion. Then the younger son is the only candidate who can rely on hope.
This arrangement is also to hope that the youngest son can gain some rights as soon as possible.
But Oda Nobunaga was not a fool after all. Seeing that the old general seemed to have signs of doubting himself, he actually took the risk. Before the other party could attack, he fled from Kyoto with his cavalry that night with a forged military order. The old general immediately sent his youngest son Kikugawa Yukizunaga to chase and kill Oda Nobunaga!
Originally, Kikugawa Yukizuki didn't have the courage to go to find Nidise and Roddy immediately. He had already regarded these three people as his dependence in his heart. But he found that these three mysterious backers were missing! But his father's order could not be delayed, so he could only bite the bullet and chase out of Kyoto with his men...
At that time, Roddy and others were in the illusion of the sacred mountain!
Things were simpler afterwards. In that shocking battle, Kyoto and Kamiyama were destroyed, and the shogunate and the old general Kikugawa were naturally finished, and even the royal family of the dwarves were all finished.
There are no living people left on the ground in Kyoto!
After the war, Kikugawa Yukien and Oda Nobunaga, who were a few kilometers away, were both stunned by this huge change. Oda Nobunaga immediately realized that his opportunity had come!
The shogunate is finished, the royal family is finished! Then I am probably the most powerful force in the entire dwarf race at present! Perhaps... this is my chance!
In the next few days, Oda Nobunaga's cavalry and the "Maru Ghost" troops brought by Kikugawa Yuenaki fought several battles, with both sides going south and fighting each other.
Because Kyoto has been destroyed, all assassinations and rebellions have no evidence, Oda Nobunaga simply called himself a new shogun! He gathered local troops along the way and recruited strong men from the fleeing crowds to fight against Kikugawa Yukinari.
After all, Yukizuki Kikugawa is much worse than Nobunaga Oda. Faced with such a shocking change, he was already panicked. At this time, a special character emerged! This person is the samurai that Yukiku Kikugawa just received! Hideyoshi Fujimoto!
This guy is a tough guy. He actually came up with an idea to encourage Kikugawa Yukizuki to establish himself as a shogun, and commanded the Dwarf country in the name of the shogun. At the same time, he asked for their support to the front-line army that was confronting the Roland invading troops!
At the same time, he also followed Oda Nobunaga's appearance and ordered the collection of small local troops stationed near Kyoto. Although Kikugawa Yukizunaga's prestige was much worse than Oda Nobunaga, who was known as the "Thousand Cavalry General", he was the son of the old general of the shogunate, so many people were willing to follow him.
Although he himself had no ability, fortunately, the "Maru Ghost" troops he brought out were indeed elite under the old general Kikugawa. Kikugawa Yukizuna occupied Kawado City, while Oda Nobunaga occupied Kashima Town, and the two sides confronted each other.
The most difficult thing was Wu Yu Chibe, the commander of the front line army, who confronted the Roland invading army. He received two orders at the same time, Oda Nobunaga and Kikugawa Yukita called themselves shoguns, demanding that they obey their orders. Wu Yu Chibe was almost scared and killed after he began to receive the news of the great changes in Kyoto!
Even though he died, he didn't expect that the Dwarf Kingdom would suffer such a great disaster at once! There were powerful invaders outside and strange natural disasters inside. What's more, the news came from someone who saw the traces of the Yakio Snake in the sky on the night of the explosion in Kyoto!
When Wu You Qianbingwei heard this kind of nonsense, his first reaction was: Does God want to destroy our dwarves?
However, Wu Yu, Chibei, was still watching the orders from the two shoguns. He was thinking about his own calculations. Now he has more than 30,000 troops in his hands, and he is also the elite on the front line. He is stronger than the two guys who call themselves "shoguns"! These two guys, one is Oda Nobunaga, who is usually arrogant and annoying, and the other is a cowardly and incompetent young master. Why should he bow down and obey orders?
However, Wu Yu, Chibei, did not have much ambitions, and did not have the idea of Oda Nobunaga's self-establishment as a "shogun". His hope was to take advantage of the current struggle between the two sides, stand outside and watch, and wait for the most appropriate opportunity to intervene. This would also show his own weight and finally gain the greatest capital! Get the greatest gain!
At the same time, another reason why he still did not move was the invading army of the Rolanders who were eyeing him in front of him! There were strong enemies outside, how could he dare to move? The Rolanders' chariot convoy was afraid of him. The only way at present was to use the narrow mountain corridors on the island country to defend with a solid city.
Of course, the cavalry caught by Roddy and others could not know so much. He just told the current situation where Kikugawa Yukizuki and Oda Nobunaga are facing each other, while Wu Yu and Chibee on the front line are watching. As for these reasons, they were conjectured by Nidis himself based on the situation.
Roddy frowned and whispered: "You still want to find that Kikugawa Yukien? Is it necessary to cause trouble?"
Nidith glanced Roddy and said, "I have spent a lot of effort on that kid! If he becomes the master of the Dwarf Kingdom, I will get the exclusive business of Temu! Do you know how much it costs?"
Seeing Roddy's face showing a disapproval expression, Nidi's eyes turned, and immediately changed his tone and said patiently: "Then, you came to the Dwarf Kingdom just to find the secrets in the sacred mountain. Now Hachiki is gone, and the thing you are looking for is probably destroyed as the sacred mountain was bombed... We have come here so hard once and suffered so much sin. Didn't we get anything and go back with empty hands? Wouldn't that be too cowardly? We always have to get some benefits here before we go back?"
Roddy had not yet expressed her opinion on her words, but the old magician's eyes suddenly lit up.
This time, King Sauron attacked the Dwarf Kingdom for two purposes. One was to get something that could threaten the temple, which now seemed to be a failure. The other was to conquer the Dwarf Kingdom and obtain precious ironwood resources! Since that is the case, then Nidith's words make some sense. If he could support the useless Kikugawa Yukien and the master of the Dwarf Kingdom outside the city, then the Sauron Kingdom could then control the Dwarf Kingdom!
This is much more cost-effective than killing tens of thousands of troops, spending countless blood and lives to conquer the Dwarf Kingdom!
And this can also avoid the anger of other kingdoms of the Roland Continent! After all, the Kingdom of Sauron attacked the Dwarf Kingdom, which is destined to violate the taboos in the hearts of other kingdoms of the Roland. If it only supports an obedient shogun to come to power, it can also avoid the excuses of other kingdoms of the Roland Continent to blame! Moreover, this Needis, the old magician, knows her. She is good friends with His Royal Highness, and she is just a businessman. She only seeks money and interests. Give her the right to manage the ironwood. On the one hand, the Kingdom of Sauron can still obtain ironwood resources. On the other hand, the Kingdom of Sauron does not have to stand under the eyes of everyone and point fingers. Let Needis resist the anger of other kingdoms of the Roland. Even if others hate her, they will only hate her Needis.
Anyway, as long as Kikugawa Yukien comes to power, the army of the Kingdom of Sauron will support him. With the army of the Kingdom of Sauron stationed on the island of the Dwarf, even if you give Nidis some benefits, let her earn money from other Kingdoms of Roland!
After figuring this out, the old magician also smiled and said, "I think it makes sense. That little Kukuchuan is quite obedient to us along the way. It's good to pull him around now."
Roddy sneered at Old Sith, his eyes seemed to have a bit of deep meaning, and suddenly he smiled: "It seems that Master Sith is loyal to His Majesty the King."
Seeing that Old Sith seemed a little embarrassed, Nidise immediately said first: "Rody, the army of the Sauron Kingdom is in the south. Even if we don't help Xiao Kukawa, Sauron's army will still fight. We helped Xiao Kukawa, which can be regarded as avoiding a war. It's not bad to die less people..." After a pause, Nidise smiled wickedly: "We had a fight in Kyoto, and the Kyoto was blown up, the palace was destroyed, and the sacred mountain was leveled. Even if we did some compensation..."
Roddy smiled and said, "Haha...compensation? You girl, it sounds nice. I think if that little Juchuan is controlled by you, I'm afraid you will be sold by you even the entire dwarfs!"
Nidith smiled and said nothing, just watching Roddy not speak. Although she had not had much contact with Roddy, with her intelligence, she had already learned Roddy's temper. If Roddy refused to do something, then he would refuse in a simple way, and no matter what others said, it would be useless. Now he did not refuse directly, which means he did not mean to firmly object.
Sure enough, Roddy pondered for a moment and said, "My strength has not yet been restored. Master Sith cannot use magic now. What I am worried about is that we may not be able to suppress that little Kukuchuan now... It will take another five or six days before my body recovers, so I will be sure."
Nidith smiled and said, "If this matter is to be handled, it will be two steps."
She seemed to have already thought about it and said slowly: "The three of us may be separated. I will go to see Xiao Kukawa with you. This guy is too cowardly. That Oda Nobunaga is a ruthless character. If our young master accidentally asks him to be destroyed, my skills will be in vain. We always have to help him. Even if you can't kill Oda Nobunaga and others now, it's okay for us to help Xiao Kukawa to come up with ideas. Besides, with your current strength, there may not be anyone in the entire dwarf race that can beat you. The dwarfs don't have any powerful masters. As long as you don't encounter a large number of troops, we will have no problem protecting ourselves. After a few days, your strength will be restored and you can kill Oda Nobunaga at will...hehe..."
Speaking of this, Nidise seemed to think of something, shook his head casually, and said, "Well, Master Sith is probably going to separate from us... You don't go to see Xiao Kukawa with us. You go directly to the south and find a way to go to Sauron's army. It doesn't work if I go there. Only when you go can you order them..."
The old magician frowned and said, "What am I doing there? Should I stop Sauron's army from attacking?"
Nidise glanced at him, stared at him and said, "Of course not!" Then she smiled a little badly on her face and said, "You have gone there and asked them to speed up the attack! Be sure to defeat the front-line resistance army as soon as possible!"
The Sith shook his head and said, "Why is this?"
Nidis sighed and said slowly, "Don't you understand this? We are not the same as last time when we met him. When we met him last time, he was just an unsuccessful young master and had no rights. Now he has become a shogun and has a certain military power. I am afraid he may not be as obedient as before. Although he has the great enemy Oda Nobunaga, if the front-line army suddenly supports Xiao Kukawa, then he may not need our help. He will not value us so much. So you must let Sauron's army defeat the resistance army on the front-line of the dwarfs as soon as possible, so that Xiao Kukawa will be desperate! You can only rely on us!"
Old Sith smiled bitterly and said, "I think things are not that easy... The battle situation on the front line is still stagnant. I think there must be some difficulties. Do you think Sauron's army doesn't want to defeat the enemy? The dwarves are still resisting stubbornly and can firmly resist our army in the south. I think the dwarves' army is not simple. Although they were stunned by us at the beginning, it seems that their reaction is also very fast."
Nidis thought for a while and said, "Then he can only do his best. Even if he can't fight the front-line army that crosses the dwarfs, at least he can seriously hurt them! In this way, our strong strength makes Kokikugawa afraid of us! Let him understand that even if he defeats Oda Nobunaga, he can't rest assured!"
Roddy suddenly spoke, "It's not difficult to defeat the army on the front line of the Dwarfs..."
"Oh?" Nidith's eyes lit up. Although she didn't know that Roddy's true identity was Duke of Tulip, she had already established the concept of "Roddy's invincibility" in her heart for Roddy's super expert.
Roddy pondered for a moment: "You naturally don't understand the war. In my opinion, the front-line army of the Dwarves will most likely support Xiao Kukuchuan!"
"Why?" Nydise frowned.
Roddy smiled and said, "Don't you understand this? Do you think war is just like the commander of the army and a group of soldiers to rush to kill? War consumes money and food! It is supplies! Now the front-line resistance army of the dwarfs is fighting in the south, and all their supplies are transported out of Kawado City! And now Kawado City is in the hands of Kokikukawa! So, I think the front-line troops may not be able to wait and see for a long time. When they are in a hurry to replenish supplies, they will turn to Kokikukawa. I'm afraid Oda Nobunaga also understands this, otherwise he would not be so anxious to strengthen the men and gather refugees everywhere!"
"What should I do?" Nidis felt a little anxious when he saw that his plan would not work.
Roddy smiled slightly: "It's nothing, but although you are smart, you still don't understand the war after all. In fact, there is no way to imagine..."
"Oh?" Nidith's eyes lit up, and even the old magician looked at Roddy with hope. Master Sith is different from Nidith. He knew that Roddy's identity was the Duke of Tulip who was famous and invincible in the Continent of Light! Since Roddy said there was a way to fight in such a war, there must be a way!
Roddy sighed, picked up a stone from the ground, and quickly drew four parallel circles on the ground.
"Then, these four circles represent the four forces currently on the dwarf island country... The first is Oda Nobunaga, the second is Kokikugawa, and the third is the dwarf resistance army on the front line. The fourth is Soren's army." Roddy smiled and said, "Now Kokikugawa is Oda Nobunaga in front and the front line's resistance army behind. He was sandwiched in the middle. What he hopes most at present is to get the support of the dwarf resistance army on the front line! And what he fears most is that if the resistance army on the front line falls to Oda Nobunaga, then he is sandwiched in the middle, and there is a possibility of being finished at any time!"
Nidise's eyes lit up and he immediately understood something!
Roddy glanced at her and continued, "Since Xiao Kikukawa has this fear in his heart, we might as well increase his fear further! Let him turn against the front-line resistance army first! As long as he is willing to block this checkpoint in Kawato City and not allow military supplies to be transported to the south... At that time, even if the resistance army of the south of the dwarves does not rebel, they will be forced to rebel! Even if the front-line resistance army still does not rebel, the supply supplies are blocked, then it will not be difficult for Sauron's army to defeat them!"
Nidis also laughed, slapped his hands, and said happily: "Not bad! At that time, the Sauron army on the front line will destroy the resistance army on the front line of the dwarfs, and you can rush the army northward! As for Oda Nobunaga, Humph, Xiao Kikukawa's subordinates heard that there was another 'Marugami' army, so let Xiao Kikukawa and Oda Nobunaga fight to the death, it would be best if both sides of the army were fighting to the point of losing both sides! When Souron's army arrived, we will support Xiao Kikukawa to become the shogun of the dwarf country... Hehe, but this Xiao Kikukawa's subordinates no longer have their own army! At that time... even if he wanted to be disobedient, he would not be able to do it!"
Speaking of this, this beautiful woman showed a unique smile on her face that was only a profitable businessman.
No one knows that the series of tricks that later exploited the dwarf people to almost sell their pants was actually planned by these three people on the way to escape, in a hurry on the side of the wilderness road...
The old magician next to him was secretly shocked when he heard it. He couldn't help but look at Roddy deeply and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that you planned this kind of trick, which is so vicious! It's completely different from your usual personality."
Roddy said lightly: "This is the case with war. If you want to win, you must do everything you can! Victory is the only purpose."
The old magician sighed, as if muttering to himself: "No wonder...No wonder we were beaten so badly by you under Leiming City...You..." At this point, he suddenly woke up and stopped immediately, looked at Nidith, coughed twice, and said: "Since that's the case, let's go quickly. When you arrive at Kawado, you go to see Xiao Kikukawa, I will continue to go south to find our Sauron's army."
Roddy frowned and said, "It's fine to go to Kawado, but you go south all the way, and it's a war zone. It's probably not easy for you to travel through it alone."
Old Sith smiled proudly and said, "My magic has recovered a little. Although it has not been fully cured, some low-level stealth techniques can still be used. As I go along the way, my strength will become stronger and stronger. You don't have to worry about this."
He suddenly smiled: "My only worry is that Xiao Kikukawa. He is indeed a playboy who has no ability. He doesn't know how powerful he has. What I worry about is that before I come with Sauron's army, you will be defeated by Oda Nobunaga! Now you are not a strong man in the field. In the chaos, you must save your life!"
"Hmph..." Roddy seemed to hum lightly, as if he glanced at the old magician with a soft smile on his face: "If I really die here, wouldn't it be the same as your king's wishes?"
Old Sith smiled dryly, as if he was a little embarrassed. Roddy sighed in his heart, regretting that he stabbed the other party like this. In fact, he did not have much prejudice against Sith himself, especially in the battle a few days ago. In the end, Sith fought hard to help him participate in the battle with great loss. In a sense, if Sith had not fought hard to reduce his strength to cure Hachiki and let Yachi drag her crazy self, everyone would have been finished that day.
Moreover, even if the Kingdom of Sauron is afraid of himself, Duke of Tulip, he will definitely find a way to cross the river and destroy the bridge and plot against him, but it is not now. After all, the time has not yet come.
The king did not dare to plot against him if hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war had not been released yet. Otherwise, without hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, the Rolands would have no capital to fight against the temple.
Thinking of this, Roddy smiled, changed his tone and said, "Okay, don't worry if you don't talk about this. I will never have anything to do. Although that little Kikukawa is a playboy, he has been grown up in the shogunate since he was a child and may not be just a fool."
Speaking of this, Roddy couldn't help but think: Is the playboy a must be a waste? It's not necessarily true! If you don't talk about others, just the playboy in our family is just an amazing guy!
The three of them agreed and simply went south and followed the direction of Kawado City. The three of them rode their horses all the way, which saved a lot of time.
On the road, I occasionally encountered some scattered refugees who fled. When I saw Roddy and the old magician's cavalry dressed, I was so scared that I could avoid it from afar. When I met some Oda Nobunaga's cavalry, they all went to the north of the main road, probably to intercept those refugees. Occasionally, some people questioned Roddy and others, and Roddy and others would fool around.
Although there are loopholes in their outfits, I think Oda Nobunaga's men and Kokikugawa's men have fought several times in the past two days. It's not surprising that the soldiers' armor was broken. In addition, Roddy's immediately sat a beautiful woman (Nidis), who also looked embarrassed. The soldiers of Oda Nobunaga's soldiers all smiled knowingly when they saw it, and the rude ones even laughed loudly: This guy stole a beautiful girl! Brothers continue to move forward, let's go ahead and stole a few beautiful girls to have fun!
As for occasionally encountering a few people with no eyes, Roddy was beaten down by him. Although Roddy's strength is far less than the domain level, as he goes south, his body gradually recovers some vitality, and he is still more than enough to deal with these soldiers. As long as he doesn't encounter a large army, he is still at ease.
I saw a fork in the road. To the left is Kashima Town in Oda Nobunaga, and to the right is Kawato City occupied by Kokikugawa.
The three of them identified the direction and headed towards Kawado City. However, less than a moment later, they heard a shout of killing coming from the front. A group of about twenty samurai-like people rushed towards Roddy and the other two. The people who were running along the way shouted loudly: "There are Oda thieves' cavalry! Kill them!!"
Chapter completed!
