After bidding farewell to the youth who had just provided the scoop, Kujou Sara continued walking along the secluded path.
Nowadays, there were very few pedestrians on the main streets of Inazuma.
Only on these small paths could one find any passersby.
Kujou Sara actually understood the reasons that led to this situation.
But she simply couldn't believe it.
Now, Kujou Sara wanted to walk the streets more and witness it firsthand.
After walking for a short while, Kujou Sara heard an old man's cries coming from an alley not far ahead.
That sound made Kujou Sara raise an eyebrow.
She quickened her pace to check.
Upon arrival, she discovered several Tenryou Commission soldiers tying up a teenager, preparing to take him away.
Behind them, an old man followed, crying pitifully.
"I beg you, good sirs of the Tenryou Commission, please let my son go!"
"My son's lifelong dream is to become a powerful person and defend his home and country! For you to take his Vision now is equivalent to stripping him of his wish!"
However, the Tenryou Commission soldiers were unmoved and warned the old man coldly:
"You stinking old man, stop bothering us. Blame your son for refusing to hand over his Vision."
"Once he suffers a bit in jail, I'm sure he'll come to his senses and obediently turn it in!"
Hearing this, the old man's face grew even paler.
The old man rushed forward and hugged the leg of one of the Tenryou Commission soldiers, pleading tremblingly:
"Please, good sirs of the Tenryou Commission!"
Who knew that the old man's actions would only provoke the displeasure of the Tenryou Commission soldiers.
The soldier immediately kicked out, sending the old man sprawling, showing no restraint despite the man's age.
In the distance, Kujou Sara, watching from the shadows, frowned deeply.
Seeing her own colleagues commit such acts, immense anger flared up in Kujou Sara's heart.
But at the same time, her emotions became increasingly complicated.
If Yellow Fox hadn't told her to come back and take a good look at the current state of Inazuma.
Would she have seen the changes in Inazuma today, or the wicked deeds of her colleagues?
The truth was, she wouldn't have, because Kujou Sara usually didn't handle civilian matters below her rank.
Furthermore, the people below her were always extremely obedient in her presence.
Now, Kujou Sara finally understood why the streets of Inazuma City had changed so drastically... Meanwhile, after being kicked down, the old man did not give up and painfully struggled back to his feet.
He intended to continue begging the Tenryou Commission soldiers for mercy, asking the Tenryou Commission to spare his child.
But clearly, these small, unwatched side alleys were where the people of the Tenryou Commission felt most fearless and reckless.
The soldiers all showed extreme impatience and annoyance on their faces, and one of them raised his foot, preparing to kick the old man down again.
And this time, he used considerable force!
If he landed a kick with that kind of strength, the old man's body definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it!
Just as that kick was about to land on the old man... at that very moment, a bolt of lightning-infused arrow shot forth from the distance!
The arrow instantly shot between the two soldiers and exploded without warning.
The scene was immediately filled with dazzling lightning, and the powerful current continuously surged through the bodies of the two soldiers.
In just the blink of an eye, the two soldiers started smoking and collapsed!
This scene stunned both the old man and the teenager.
Clearly, they didn't understand what had happened or where that Lightning Arrow had come from.
The old man scrambled to his feet, stared at the two unconscious soldiers, and murmured incredulously:
"What in the world..."
...On that day, many things happened on the streets of Inazuma City.
Many Tenryou Commission soldiers enforcing the Vision Hunt Decree were attacked by Lightning Arrows that day.
Consequently, many Vision retrieval missions failed.
At the same time, also on that day.
Kujou Sara, the adopted daughter of the Kujou Clan and General of the Tenryou Commission.
Defected from the Tenryou Commission and the Kujou Clan, disappearing without a trace... Watatsumi Island, Sangonomiya Shrine Headquarters.
Sangonomiya Kokomi was in her room, continuously handling numerous affairs.
Just as she was dealing with the tasks at hand.
Gorou, the General of the resistance, knocked on the door from outside and entered the room.
He then excitedly addressed Lady Sangonomiya, wagging his fluffy large tail nonstop:
"Lady Sangonomiya! Recently, due to Mr. Yellow Fox's renown, a considerable number of people have signed up to join our resistance!"
"And many of them are people who fled from Inazuma!"
"This way, we can completely solve our manpower shortage problem!"
As he spoke, Gorou's large tail behind him was wagging incessantly.
It was clear how excited he was.
After all, before this, the resistance had only recently been established and suffered from a severe lack of personnel.
Now, due thanks to Yuuko's joining, and the spread of his feat of fighting a thousand enemies alone on Nazuchi Beach.
More and more people fleeing Inazuma are now joining the resistance!
This was naturally a very beneficial development for the resistance!
Hearing this, Sangonomiya Kokomi chuckled softly:
"Is that so? That's good. What we need to do now is quickly improve our various rules and regulations and strengthen the management of the army, or integrating too many new members will lead to chaos."
Gorou nodded, his animal ears perking up, and asked, "How does Lady Sangonomiya plan to proceed?"
Sangonomiya Kokomi was silent for a moment before saying:
"First, we should organize all soldiers into multiple small squads, promote excellent soldiers to be the captains of these squads, and have each captain manage their respective team."
Gorou pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded:
"That's a good point, but we'll need to cultivate more exceptional individuals afterward, training them until they are capable of serving as squad captains."
Looking at Gorou deep in thought, Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled again:
"As for the detailed squad division, Gorou, I'll leave that up to you. Only you are currently the most familiar with all the officers and soldiers in the resistance."
Gorou nodded excitedly, his large tail wagging nonstop: "I will definitely not let Lady Sangonomiya down!"
Just as Gorou was about to leave and consider the matter of cultivating future squad captains.
Sangonomiya Kokomi called out to him again.
"Gorou, while dividing the resistance into multiple squads, I also want to establish a highest position for the resistance: Supreme General."
"The Supreme General's authority is absolute; the Supreme General's word is equivalent to mine."
Hearing this, Gorou was stunned for a moment before realizing: "Does Lady Sangonomiya intend for Mr. Yellow Fox to take the position!?"
Sangonomiya Kokomi smiled and nodded, then asked, "Gorou, do you think this is appropriate?"
Gorou's face was filled with excitement:
"That would be perfect! Wonderful! I felt before that Mr. Yellow Fox deserved such a position!"
