Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: One Man Against a Thousand Soldiers

Okubo Daisuke felt that since he was going to die anyway, he might as well take down a few more Shogunate Army soldiers.

That way, when the reinforcements arrived, they wouldn't have such a hard time fighting.

Seeing this, the few Shogunate Army soldiers on the front line who wouldn't survive this chapter actually stopped their attacks.

Each of them wore arrogant smiles: "Struggle! The more you struggle, the more relieved I feel!"

Watching the swaying Okubo Daisuke charge forward, slowly thrusting his sword, those few Shogunate Army soldiers who wouldn't survive this chapter easily dodged.

Then, they kicked Okubo Daisuke away.

They then laughed heartily: "You don't think you'll have a chance to win when your pathetic reinforcements arrive, do you?"

"You are nothing but a bunch of clowns! Both now and hundreds of years ago!"

"The only reason you've lasted until today is because we haven't deployed our full forces to attack!"

"Today, let's see how you'll block us!"

"What Yellow Fox? Ridiculous! Today, our General Kujou is also here! What good will Yellow Fox do, even if he comes!"

"Besides, can he really take down over a thousand of us by himself?"

The few Shogunate Army soldiers on the front line who wouldn't survive this chapter laughed arrogantly again.

Okubo Daisuke, lying on the ground, showed an unwilling expression. He wanted to get up.

But he found his injuries too severe, and he had no strength to get up at all.

Several times, he would crawl halfway only to fall back down.

He could only keep trying to get up, but just as he was about to, he was kicked again by the Shogunate Army soldier who wouldn't survive this chapter.

He rolled several times on the beach before finally stopping.

The few Shogunate Army soldiers who wouldn't survive this chapter laughed again, preparing to torment Okubo Daisuke further, when—

A figure inexplicably appeared on the scene.

Blocking the space between Okubo Daisuke and the Shogunate Army.

And in an instant.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Shogunate Army soldiers on the front line were hit by an attack that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

The immense impact sent them flying backward, all the way to a distant mountain wall!

They crashed directly into the mountain wall, losing their lives instantly.

This scene left all the Shogunate Army soldiers stunned for a while.

The appearance of this person brought their unstoppable offensive to a halt.

Okubo Daisuke lay on the ground, struggling to open his blurry eyes, looking at the figure covered in Geo Element.

"From now on, I'll leave it to you." A sense of relief appeared in his eyes, and then they slowly closed.

Yuuko turned his head and looked at Okubo Daisuke, who had fainted behind him, and said softly:

"Have a good sleep. You've worked hard."

After speaking, Yuuko turned his head again to look at the Shogunate Army soldiers on the other side.

Yuuko's appearance immediately put the Shogunate Army soldiers on high alert.

It was hard to imagine that the appearance of one person could stop over a thousand Shogunate Army soldiers from advancing!

A cold figure slowly walked through the Shogunate Army from their rear.

He came before Yuuko and said with a complex expression:

"Yellow Fox, you really joined the resistance. What... exactly do you want to do..."

Yuuko did not answer the question, but pointed to Okubo Daisuke lying on the ground:

"What do you mean by this? Do you need to torment enemy soldiers who have no combat capability in such a way?"

Kujou Sara closed her eyes and slowly sighed:

"War is inherently cruel. What you see now is just the tip of the iceberg of war's cruelty."

"Such things are common in war and cannot be stopped."

"If the situation were reversed someday, and the resistance was suppressing our Shogunate Army, similar situations would still occur."

"In a war where both sides harbor hatred, the losing side will always suffer humiliation."

"After all, the hatred in the hearts of the people of watatsumi island and the people of Inazuma has not completely disappeared."

"That's true." Yuuko exhaled softly, then continued to look at Kujou Sara:

"But seeing what just happened, I'm still very displeased."

Kujou Sara fell silent, then asked: "Yellow Fox, do you really want to be an enemy of all Inazuma?"

Yuuko retorted:

"Do I have any other choice? First, your General completely refuses to listen to reason."

"She insists on enacting unreasonable decrees like the Vision Hunt Decree."

"Originally, I just wanted to awaken that reclusive god and abolish the Vision Hunt Decree, and that would be it."

"But after entering a different position, I realized that not only is the Raiden Shogun merciless, but your Tenryou Commission also has too many scoundrels."

"I'm now thinking that perhaps a major purge of Inazuma might also be a good option."

Kujou Sara's face showed pain, then she sighed lightly:

"Yellow Fox, is there really no other way? We don't have to be enemies."

Yuuko shook his head: "At least from our current positions, we have no choice but to be enemies."

Upon hearing this, a light flashed in Kujou Sara's eyes.

Since they had to fight, she would no longer hesitate.

Although Kujou Sara had doubts about the current Inazuma, she would never betray Inazuma.

Nor would she betray the Raiden Shogun.

Now that Yellow Fox had become a member of the resistance, she had no choice but to cross swords with him.

Kujou Sara's expression was serious. She raised her right hand, then quickly swung it down:

"Soldiers! Follow me and capture this man!"

"Common Path is Grand, Narukami is eternity!"

Every time a war broke out, Kujou Sara would shout this sentence.

This represented her absolute loyalty to the Raiden Shogun.

Therefore, the battle erupted again!

But this time, it was no longer the resistance against the Shogunate Army.

Instead, it was Yuuko alone, against this vast Shogunate Army of over a thousand soldiers!

Behind Yuuko was the final line. If he retreated, these Shogunate Army soldiers would cross the line.

And completely rush into Yashiori Island's territory.

If that scene truly came to pass, it would undoubtedly cause a huge blow to the resistance, and even lead to significant consequences.

But Yuuko would absolutely not let anyone pass!

...Far from the battlefield, Gorou was leading a team of resistance fighters, rushing towards the battlefield in a hurry.

As he rushed, Gorou's face was filled with anxiety.

"I didn't expect the Shogunate Army to regroup so quickly, and even attack with more troops!"

"We must make it in time!"

"Everyone, you must hold on!"

Thinking of this, Gorou shouted to the resistance fighters behind him:

"Soldiers! Let's speed up! We must arrive before the defense line is broken through!"

"After that, we just need to wait for Mister Yellow Fox to come and support us!"

"We absolutely cannot let the Shogunate Army step into Yashiori Island's territory!"

Afterward, Gorou and the soldiers accelerated their running speed.

At this moment, they still didn't know.

Yuuko had actually arrived at the battlefield before them.

And was even carrying out a slaughter, where the outnumbered side was completely reversing the situation!
