Facing Sangonomiya Kokomi's question, Yae Miko's expression was unusually solemn for a long time before she finally spoke:
"I'm not sure about that. But what I can confirm is that the reason Ei is unwilling to see anyone right now is perhaps... to avoid Mr. Yellow Fox."
This answer made Kokomi's mouth slightly agape.
She clearly hadn't expected Yae Miko to give such an evaluation.
Although Yae Miko was mischievous, she wouldn't lie at important times.
For Yae Miko to give such an evaluation meant that the Yellow Fox truly possessed great ability!
At this point, Yae Miko smiled again:
"All in all, let's hurry over. Although Mr. Yellow Fox is formidable, the Shogunate Army has deployed thousands of troops this time, so it might still be difficult for him to handle it alone."
Sangonomiya Kokomi nodded, then shouted to the resistance behind her:
"Let's speed up! We can't let Mr. Yellow Fox's efforts be in vain! Mr. Yellow Fox is probably resisting the Shogunate Army on the front lines right now! Let's go support him quickly!"
So, the group once again accelerated their pace.
While advancing, Sangonomiya Kokomi continuously formulated various plans for the future in her mind.
As long as Yellow Fox could hold his ground against the Shogunate Army's attack until their reinforcements arrived.
Then Sangonomiya Kokomi would be confident in executing her plan to greatly boost Yellow Fox's reputation, and thereby attract more personnel to the resistance!
However... even though Sangonomiya Kokomi had devised countless possibilities in her mind.
When she arrived at the scene, she was still stunned by the situation... the ground was covered with Shogunate Army soldiers... and in front, Gorou and a group of resistance members were continuously carrying the bodies of their injured comrades.
It seemed... the battle was already over.
At this moment, Gorou also noticed the arrival of Sangonomiya Kokomi's group and walked over:
"Lady Sangonomiya, you've come at just the right time. The battle is over, and we're short on hands to take our injured comrades back for treatment."
Sangonomiya Kokomi was still in a daze and didn't respond to Gorou, clearly because the scene was too shocking for her to react immediately.
"Lady Sangonomiya?"
It wasn't until Gorou reminded her again that Sangonomiya Kokomi finally came to her senses:
"I apologize for my rude, Gorou. What happened here? The Shogunate Army... they've all fallen?"
Facing Sangonomiya Kokomi's question, Gorou scratched his furry beast ears helplessly and said:
"To be honest, I'm not entirely clear about the specific situation. When we arrived here, Mr. Yellow Fox seemed to have already resolved the battle..."
Even though she had initially guessed the truth, Sangonomiya Kokomi still gasped in surprise upon hearing it from Gorou.
After all, Sangonomiya Kokomi never expected that Yellow Fox would defeat so many Shogunate Army soldiers by himself... Originally, Sangonomiya Kokomi had considered many strategies to greatly boost Yellow Fox's reputation, but now it seemed... they were completely unnecessary... After all, Yellow Fox alone defeating a Shogunate Army was already enough to gain sufficient fame... For this, Sangonomiya Kokomi sighed, a rare occurrence for her.
She realized that a truly remarkable person had joined the resistance... At this moment, Yae Miko, who was by her side, also let out a sigh of admiration:
"Now I understand why Ei has been avoiding him. With such powerful strength, Ei would naturally avoid him..."
Hearing this, Sangonomiya Kokomi fell silent. She pondered for a moment before speaking:
"The top priority now is to carry our injured comrades back for treatment!"
Gorou nodded, then asked again:
"What about those Shogunate Army soldiers? I just observed them, and most of them are only unconscious, and their general, Kujou Sara, still has a pulse."
Sangonomiya Kokomi fell silent again, then after a while, she replied:
"The priority is to treat our comrades. We don't need to worry about the Shogunate Army; someone will naturally come to carry them back."
"But... we've rarely won a battle, do we really just let them go?"
Sangonomiya Kokomi closed her eyes and explained:
"Gorou, don't forget the original intention of establishing our resistance. From beginning to end, we are only fighting against the Vision Hunt Decree."
Actually, there were two other reasons.
Firstly, Sangonomiya Kokomi wanted the news of this battle's outcome to spread quickly throughout Inazuma, and the faster, the better.
This would not only strike a blow to the Shogunate Army's confidence but also cause Yellow Fox's reputation to explode across Inazuma.
It could also attract many Inazuman people to join the resistance.
After all, there were quite a few people in Inazuma who opposed the Vision Hunt Decree.
However, because they lacked the courage, few dared to stand up.
Now, once they heard that such a powerful ally as Yellow Fox had joined the resistance.
Presumably, many desperate Inazuman people would come to join the resistance, right?
Secondly, precisely because she wanted this matter to spread, the resistance absolutely could not do anything to the defeated Shogunate Army soldiers.
If the people of Inazuma thought the resistance was just a group of madmen fighting for war.
Then they wouldn't risk joining.
After all, there were already some conflicts between the people of Inazuma and the people of Watatsumi Island.
If the Inazuman people thought that if the resistance won, it would bring disaster to Inazuma.
Would they still come?
Sangonomiya Kokomi considered so many factors before choosing to ignore the fallen Shogunate Army soldiers.
And although Gorou also had doubts, he still chose to trust Sangonomiya Kokomi and nodded:
"I understand."
Afterward, under Sangonomiya Kokomi's arrangements, those comrades who were injured defending the front lines.
Received simple treatment on the spot and were then carried back.
Just as Sangonomiya Kokomi was nearly finished with her work.
Yae Miko, who had been slacking off, walked up to her and smiled:
"Hehe, this way, the resistance's ranks will grow stronger and stronger in the future."
Sangonomiya Kokomi looked out to sea and sighed:
"Yes, to be honest, I thought of many strategies, all of which could have earned Mr. Yellow Fox sufficient fame."
Speaking of this, Sangonomiya Kokomi showed a bitter smile again:
"But in the end, Mr. Yellow Fox didn't need any of them. He could accomplish such a thing all by himself..."
Yae Miko also sighed in agreement:
"Indeed, who would have thought that Yellow Fox could single-handedly contend with a thousand Shogunate Army soldiers? It makes me want to hire him as Koasa's bodyguard."
"Koasa?" Sangonomiya Kokomi looked puzzled.
Yae Miko shook her head: "No, it's nothing."
