Chapter 287 Dark Mercenary

In Kawado City, in a heavily guarded mansion in the city, in front of Yukiku Kikugawa, Roddy and Nidise, who were a little tired of his face. It was obviously so embarrassing that way.

"Mr. Niddys Blood Fox! You finally appeared!" Seeing Niddys and Roddy in front of you, the expressions on Kikugawa Yukien's face were a real surprise, and it was not fake at all. His eyes were obviously a bit unexpected joy, and he looked at Roddy again: "There is also Lord. Roddy... Well, why don't you see the evil Star Sith?"

Nidis looked at Kikugawa Yukizuna in front of him with some pity. To be fair, Kikugawa Yukizuna was not a bad person. Moreover, since he met, he respected him very much, and later he obeyed his plans and completely believed in his lies.

Xiao Kukuchuan looked a little tired. The elegant and gentle expression on his face seemed to be gone. There was a bit of sorrow and sadness between his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to be covered in blood. Obviously, his days have not been easy in recent times.

He was originally just a young master who only knew the love and the moon, but after being robbed by Roddy and others for no reason, he came step by step and actually reached the forefront of the struggle for power. After the Kyoto Incident, he was lucky enough to escape his life, but now he has to fight against a ruthless person like Oda Nobunaga, which is obviously far from what he can handle.

This Kikugawa Yukien was indeed a bit cowardly and gentle, and then patted his chest and said, "Thank you for the blessing of the gods. I thought I would never see two of you again in that disaster in Kyoto. I often worry about the safety of you..."

Roddy felt a little guilty in her heart. The concern in Kikugawa Yukizumi's eyes was very sincere. Roddy coughed and gave a wink at Nidise, which means, you can say it.

Nidise also sighed secretly, but just smiled slightly, but did not speak immediately.

Kikugawa Yukizuki has been anxious to get angry these two days. Now he is being driven to confront Oda Nobunaga head-on, and he is really powerless. With his real ability, he is far from being a match for Oda Nobunaga. If he hadn't been with his father's elite army, "Maru Ghost", he would have been killed by Oda Nobunaga long ago.

In his mind, being the shogun was far from being as happy as being a young master who had no worries about food and clothing. However, after all, Kikugawa Yukinaga grew up in a political family and knew that he had no way out now. Even if he wanted to stop, Oda Nobunaga would definitely find a way to kill him and get it right away. This kind of thing is a completely unstoppable choice.

He was originally a cowardly person. He met Roddy and the other two without a master. He believed Nidith's nonsense and thought they were really the masters found by his rebellious brother.

Seeing that Kikugawa Yukizuki still wanted to speak, Nidish immediately gave him a wink. Kikugawa Yukizuki understood and immediately waved his hand to part with several guards, and then led Roddy and Nidish into the inner hall.

Seeing that there was no one around, Kikugawa Yukizuki said in a hurry: "Two, when you parted with Kyoto, where have you been? Why are you so embarrassed now..."

Nidith sighed, with a look of "I can't look back on the past": "That day, Mr. Roddy went to chase your brother Kikugawa Yasuichi, but encountered some trouble. Mr. Roddy was also injured a little. Lord Sith and I dare not delay, so we went to find your brother again with Mr. Roddy overnight... But fortunately, we left Kyoto and escaped the disaster..."

Speaking of the disaster, Yukizuki Kikugawa showed a deep fear on his face. Obviously that night left him with an extremely shocking impression. Especially when he saw a fire in the distance, the huge explosion almost knocked everyone out of sight. Then the huge city turned into nothing in an instant. Then the whole world was like lightning and thunder, and finally even the towering sacred mountain disappeared... Such a terrible situation, I have been wandering in Yukizuki Kikugawa's dream every day...

Nidis also saw the fear on Kikugawa Yukien's face, and immediately turned around and said, "Although we escaped by luck, we walked too anxiously and had nothing to do with us. As we went down the road, we were all fleeing refugees. Then we met Oda Nobunaga's cavalry. Mr. Roddy took action to deal with them and got the news from the mouths of these people. Our "dark mercenary" organization is the most trustworthy! Since we agreed to help you, Kikugawa, we will definitely not leave you alone! So we came all the way." Speaking of this, Nidis made a sincere expression on his face.

Kikugawa Yukien sighed and sincerely thanked: "Two people have worked hard for the matter of Haose! But... I wonder why they are so embarrassed?"

"Uh... so... so. For the convenience of walking on the road, we robbed several Oda Nobunaga's horses and clothes and armor, and put on makeup to Oda Nobunaga's cavalry. You know, the road is not peaceful, and the road to Kawado is full of Oda Nobunaga's sphere of influence. We dressed up as their cavalry to avoid the investigation along the way." Nidis said quickly: "It's a pity that we walked less than five miles, but we met a team of samurai under your command, Young Master Kikugawa... As a result, both sides fought... We had no choice but to rob the clothes and equipment of your subordinates, and turned to the warriors of your subordinates on the spot. But what happened later made us a little amused..."

"Um?"

Nydis sighed: "Along the way, your subordinates and Oda Nobunaga's cavalry fought each other. We dressed up as your subordinates, and we were inevitably chased by Oda Nobunaga's cavalry. But when we dressed up as Oda Nobunaga's cavalry, we were inevitably misunderstood by your subordinates. Although we are not afraid of our abilities, we still cannot meet the troops of the brigade. Besides, if we meet your subordinates, we don't want to hurt those you are loyal.

samurai! So... Later, with the joint research of Mr. Roddy and I, we decided to abandon our equipment and hide our soldiers from the people! We put on makeup and make the enemy unable to find our whereabouts again - there is a saying that goes, 'encircle the enemy with the people'! After we put on makeup and make the enemy a strategically, we stood on the same front with the ubiquitous people, thus achieving the goal of strategically surrounding the enemy and hiding our own."

"But why are you still so embarrassed now..."

"Master Kikugawa, please listen to us!" Nidisi looked angry: "Mr. Roddy and I were still young and immature after all. Although we made no mistakes in strategic decisions, we still miscalculated the current situation. We suddenly realized that after we put on makeup and successfully completed the purpose of disguising ourselves, we were also chased by Oda Nobunaga's cavalry and your samurai - these soldiers and gangsters are even more vicious than robbers. When we see the common people, we come up to burn, kill and loot. Not only do we forcefully pull the men, but we also rob beautiful women and property!! The fierce battles along the way have really made us a little tired of dealing with them, so we have become what we are today... Alas..."

"Is there such a thing?" Kikugawa Yukien's face was a little unkind: "Those guys actually do whatever they want on my back?!"

Nidise immediately said quickly: "Young Master Kikugawa, don't worry, we have taught those guys a lesson on your behalf along the way! The Kikugawa family's army is elite and powerful. I think those guys we meet on the way are just a few who do not defend the military law. Since we have helped Young Master Kikugawa teach them a lesson, it's fine."

Nidise doesn't want Kikugawa Yukizuki to really track down the responsibilities of those people below. First, this situation is inevitable during this turmoil. Second, the more powerful the troops of Kikugawa Yukizuki's army are, the more unpopular it will be, the more beneficial it will be for Nidise! Otherwise, if Kikugawa Yukizuki is very popular and supported by people, and the dwarves are united, how can Nidise make him a puppet?

As for the third, it is even more important. Kikugawa Yukizuki is not a powerful leader, otherwise he would not have caused trouble for his subordinates to burn, kill, loot the civilians.

Oda Nobunaga's people did this because Oda Nobunaga had to do it in order to gather strength, prepare military supplies, and attract strong men. However, Kikugawa Yukizuki has occupied Kawado, the second largest city in the Dwarf country. It is densely populated, prosperous, and sufficient supplies. However, the soldiers under his command still do whatever they want, which only means that Kikugawa Yukizuki is not well-managed.

Besides, this Kikugawa Yukise has no prestige on weekdays. Obviously, it is a complete mistake to have an army under his command. This army followed him out to chase the traitors under the order of the old General Kikugawa. Now the old general has long been finished with Kyoto. God knows whether this cowardly and incompetent young master can suppress this army. If... Humph, if there is a mutiny in the army, he will be finished before he can support this Kikugawa Yukise to the stage, then it will be useless!

Kikugawa Yukien sighed and pulled the two of them to kneel down on the soft couch. After the three of them rested for a while, Kikugawa Yukien said, "Two, I have not been worried for a while. My country suddenly suffered such a big disaster. I have already become confused. I wonder if you can help me?"

Nidise deliberately grasped it, pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Kikugawa, I got your news along the way. I think you did a good job! You can raise a big banner at critical moments and establish yourself as a shogunate, and command the entire Dwarf country in the name of the general. This is very correct and decisive! After all, after all, you are the son of the old general! Now the old general is gone, you are the heir for granted! On this point, Oda Nobunaga has no way to compete with you!"

Kikugawa Yukien smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Nidise, I'm not at all relaxed." He sighed deeply, with a little sadness in his eyes: "My father is gone, the heavy burden of a thousand pounds is pressed on my shoulders. From childhood to adulthood, I have never felt so panic... Besides..." The expression on his face became sad: "My father and mother are gone... and His Highness the Princess... I was determined to compete for the position of this heir that day, just for His Highness the Princess! For His Majesty the Emperor's expectations for me! But... But a disaster in Kyoto, I heard that the entire palace has been destroyed and no one escaped... I... When I think of His Highness the Princess' death... I..."

Speaking of this, the young master actually shed a few tears.

Nidise thought you couldn't retreat now, so he quickly said, "Young Master Kikugawa, you have shouldered the expectations of the old General Kikugawa! At this moment, you must not have such weak thoughts!"

But Roddy showed a little disdainful expression and snorted coldly in secret.

The little guilt he felt for Kikugawa Yukizuki disappeared in an instant. It was just because Kikugawa Yukizuki mentioned that his parents died, but he just took it lightly and did not show much sadness, but he cried and was heartless for a woman, which shows how heartless it was!

Nidis shook his head and said, "Young Master Kikugawa, you don't have to do this. The situation is still very optimistic. Fortunately, you made the right decision at the critical moment! Now you raise a banner to confront Oda Nobunaga. As your heir to the old general, you can command many troops under the shogunate. You are now occupying the justice side!"

She comforted her a few more words, and when she saw Kikugawa Yukien calm down a little, she slowly said: "I wonder what is the most worrying thing in your heart now? Since Mr. Roddy and I have arrived here, you might as well say anything if you have any concerns and see if we can relieve your worries."

Kikugawa Yukien thought for a moment and said, "What I worry most about now is the invading army of the Roland people on the front line." After a pause, he added: "The Roland people's army is powerful, and we dwarves have been defeated. We have always relied on the power of the navy to defend at sea, but now they have landed and fought in. Although Oda Nobunaga and I fought to the death, we may still be killed by the Roland people in the end!"

This answer surprised Nidise and Roddy slightly.

I originally thought that Kokikukawa's answer might be that he would be worried that he would not be able to defeat Oda Nobunaga, or that the front-line army would support Oda Nobunaga and go against him. Unexpectedly, Kokikukawa, who has always been a little stupid, actually expressed such a very insightful idea.

Seeing Roddy and Nidise both looked at themselves with bright eyes, Kikugawa Yukien smiled awkwardly: "Don't be accustomed to you, I don't understand these principles either, they are all told to me."

Speaking of this, he looked a little happy: "You know this person, the samurai named Hideyoshi Fuji, who we collected in Kawado City last time! When I came out this time, thanks to his loyal follower, and I came to Kawado City, I also felt that he, a local, helped me win the hearts of the people. He has recruited many samurai he knows for me here, greatly enriching the strength of my subordinates!" Speaking of this, Xiao Kikugawa sighed: "This person was also found by the two of you and me. Speaking of which, you are really my lucky stars!"

Nidise felt aroused when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Roddy, but saw Roddy looking at him with a meaningful gaze.

Kokikugawa Yukien seemed a little happy and continued, "This time I am the shogun, and it was also the strong suggestion of Hokkishi Hideyoshi. He also said that Oda Nobunaga occupied Kashima Town, which was the place where the fleeing refugees passed. In order to avoid Oda Nobunaga gathering those refugees to strengthen their strength, he suggested that I send a small army to frequently harass them and try not to let Oda Nobunaga proceed smoothly... Alas, it is God's blessing. After my Kikugawa family suffered such a great disaster, he actually gave me such a capable talent!"

Roddy and Nidise exchanged glances, and couldn't help but think: This Fengcheng Hideyoshi seems to be really a little bit too much.

Nidise pondered for a moment, as if he was brewing his words. When the expression on Kikugawa Yukien's face gradually calmed down, she smiled and said, "Young Master Kikugawa, your words make sense. The army of the Rolands in the south really made you worry. But have you forgotten what I said to you?"

When Nidis said this, he paused deliberately, and had a somewhat mysterious expression on his face: "Did you forget my origin? You forgot that Roddy and I, and Mr. Sith, were our "Dark Mercenary" organization entrusted by your brother Yasuichi Kikugawa? The army of the Rolands in the south was also attracted by Yasuichi Kikugawa. It was just a matter of collusion with him. You must know that the reason why Yasuichi Kikugawa got the help of the Rolands army and deliberately let the Rolands army invade was all our "Dark Mercenary" organization built bridges on the middle front line!"

"Yes, yes!" Kikugawa Yukien showed an excited expression on his face: "I haven't forgotten! Now you are here, can you please tell the people of Roland and ask them to withdraw their troops!"

Roddy shook his head in his heart when he heard this. This Kikugawa Yukizuki is indeed not a big deal. How can the war start and end, so how can it be so funny? In a word, he said that he would withdraw his troops if he retreated? He thought it was too simple. Could it be that a child plays house?

Nydis immediately smiled gently and blinked his eyes and said, "Don't you worry about this. Didn't you see Master Sith not with us? He just went directly to the army of the Rolands in the south and contacted them."
