Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: The Situation

"Alright, stop talking."

Yuuko hoisted Teppei onto his back and yelled at the remaining resistance soldiers:

"Soldiers, hold on for one minute! I'll be back in one minute!"

Right now, there was still a chance to save Teppei.

Therefore, Yuuko had to rush him to Sangonomiya Shrine as quickly as possible so Sangonomiya Kokomi could provide emergency treatment.

Yuuko's words caused the resistance soldiers to ponder for a moment.

These resistance soldiers understood Yuuko's intentions.

So, they roared, "Mr. Yellow Fox, go ahead! We will hold the line here!"

"Brothers, charge!"

"Stop those bastards from the Shogunate Army! Wait for Mr. Yellow Fox to return!"

Looking at the spirited resistance soldiers, Yuuko smiled.

The next instant, his figure vanished instantly... On the other side, at Sangonomiya Shrine, Sangonomiya Kokomi had already gathered the remaining resistance forces, preparing to march out to support the front line.

However, considering that there were still some matters to handle in the rear.

Sangonomiya Kokomi had Gorou lead this batch of resistance soldiers to rush to the front first.

Sangonomiya Kokomi stood on the coral of Sangonomiya Shrine, her expression somewhat grave:

"I didn't expect the Shogunate Army to send out their entire force this time..."

"Moreover, the Raiden Shogun seems to have joined the campaign..."

"Could it be that this is going to escalate into a great war like the one hundreds of years ago...?"

As a person of Watatsumi Island, Sangonomiya Kokomi naturally knew about the war between the people of watatsumi island and the people of Inazuma hundreds of years ago.

That year, the Serpent God, who led the people of watatsumi island, failed and was even beheaded by the Raiden on Yashiori Island.

And today, it was as if history was repeating itself... Both sides were once again engaging in large-scale combat.

In a daze, a figure suddenly appeared before Sangonomiya Kokomi.

Sangonomiya Kokomi looked at the person in front of her and the white-haired person on his back, exclaiming in surprise:

"Mr. Yellow Fox... and is that Teppei, the Captain of Herring Squad One?"

"He looks like this... could it be that he..."

Yuuko explained, "In order to protect the front line, he overused the Delusion and exhausted too much life force, which is why he ended up like this."

"But he still has a breath. Treat him quickly, and he can still be saved!"

Hearing this, Sangonomiya Kokomi nodded with a serious expression:

"I understand!"

Afterward, Sangonomiya Kokomi closed her eyes and extended her hands, and streams of jellyfish appeared in the air, radiating a gentle aura.

These were jellyfish with powerful healing effects.

It was Sangonomiya Kokomi's signature skill.

After a short while, Teppei's complexion eased slightly.

Sangonomiya Kokomi also let out a soft breath:

"Emergency treatment is complete. All he needs now is a good rest."

With that, Sangonomiya Kokomi quickly arranged for medical personnel to carry Teppei to a safe and comfortable place to sleep.

Upon seeing this, Yuuko also sighed in relief:

"So, Kokomi, you must know about the situation on the front line now."

Sangonomiya Kokomi nodded: "Gorou has already led the majority of the troops to provide support, and once I finish gathering the Special Unit, I will also rush over quickly."

Yuuko nodded: "Then I'll go ahead."

As his voice faded, Yuuko's figure instantly disappeared again.

Seeing this, Sangonomiya Kokomi sighed lightly.

Having witnessed it many times, she was no longer surprised by Yuuko's sudden disappearance.

Right now, Sangonomiya Kokomi's main task was to assemble the Special Unit.

Then, she would lead the Special Unit toward the front line... Meanwhile, on Yashiori Island, a plump, pink figure was strolling eastward.

That was the chief priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko.

At this moment, Yae Miko wore a puzzled expression, resting her chin on her hand as she muttered softly:

"Strange. I clearly received news that the Fatui were operating nearby, but upon arriving, there's nothing."

"Could it be that Balladeer deliberately leaked this information to lure me here?"

"But what could his purpose be for doing so...?"

"Now, the Shogunate Army and the resistance are fully engaged in battle, and the Raiden Shogun has also gone to war..."

Suddenly, Yae Miko thought of a possibility, and her expression changed slightly:

"Right now, the defenses within Inazuma City are weak, the Raiden Shogun isn't on Narukami Island, and Yellow Fox is fighting on the front line and can't spare any hands..."

"Could it be that Balladeer's objective is...?"

Thinking of this possibility, Yae Miko sighed helplessly:

"It looks like I have no choice but to go back."

Thinking this, Yae Miko strolled away... Yashiori Island, Higi Village.

At this moment, the village was slightly chaotic.

The reason was the war that had broken out between the resistance and the Shogunate Army.

Moreover, the scale of this battle was likely to be the last battle of this war!

Because of this, Village Chief Washizu planned to lead the villagers to move westward for a distance.

This was to avoid the harm the war might bring to the village.

However, not all villagers would go along to seek refuge.

Kujou Sara, upon hearing the news, immediately rushed towards Nazuchi Beach... At the front line, the war continued.

The hundreds of resistance soldiers did not lose their fighting spirit simply because they were outnumbered.

In fact, the morale on the resistance side was even higher than that of the Shogunate Army!

The reason, naturally, was Yuuko's presence!

By now, the identity of Yellow Fox had become a pillar of support in the hearts of the resistance!

Even though Yuuko was not currently on the battlefield.

The words Yuuko had left behind earlier had already spread like a spark, filling the hearts of all resistance soldiers.

Giving them hope!

At this moment, even though the resistance forces were vastly outnumbered by the Shogunate Army, they were fighting in a back-and-forth manner!

This was the influence of morale!

The resistance side had Yellow Fox taking action!

But the Raiden Shogun of the Shogunate Army had not yet made a move!

This was the biggest factor affecting the morale of both sides!

Then, at a certain moment, Yuuko's figure reappeared on the battlefield.

This caused the fiercely contested situation to change once again.

A huge cheer erupted from the resistance side:

"Mr. Yellow Fox is back!"

"We won't lose! Keep charging!"

In contrast, the morale of the Shogunate Army plummeted again!

Some soldiers even began to tremble and retreat steadily.

After all, many of them were the same soldiers who had been beaten by Yuuko last time.

Yuuko's arrival reawakened their terrifying memories.

Once fear takes root in the human heart, it is very difficult to erase.

Therefore, many Shogunate Army soldiers now instinctively trembled with fear upon seeing Yuuko's figure.

"Th-that mon-monster is here again!"

The Shogunate Army began to move backward continuously.

It was hard to imagine that such a large army would retreat because of the appearance of a single person...
