While being forced back by Yuuko, the Shogunate Army soldiers also began to shout in confusion:
"Why isn't Her Excellency, the General, making a move yet!"
"Her Excellency, the General, quickly deal with this monster!"
"If Her Excellency, the General, doesn't make a move, we can't win at all!"
In fact, the Shogunate Army soldiers were well aware that as long as the Yellow Fox appeared, the victory of this battle would be decided.
It no longer had anything to do with their Shogunate Army and the resistance.
The most important thing was to see the battle between the Raiden Shogun and the Yellow Fox!
After all, even if their Shogunate Army slaughtered all the resistance, as long as the Yellow Fox defeated the Raiden Shogun, their Shogunate would still lose!
Conversely, even if the resistance crushed the Shogunate Army, as long as the Yellow Fox lost to the Raiden Shogun, it would still be the resistance that lost!
Perhaps hearing the helpless cries of the Shogunate Army soldiers.
The Raiden Shogun, who had been resting with her eyes closed in the rear, suddenly opened them.
At the same time, a tremendous aura emanated from her.
It was unclear if it was due to her influence.
More and more dark clouds gathered in the sky over this area, covering the sun and flashing with lightning.
Raindrops began to fall from the sky, and they grew heavier.
Legend has it that when the Raiden Shogun's mood undergoes a drastic change, the weather throughout Inazuma also changes with it!
The current change indicated that the Raiden Shogun was truly enraged!
Because of this change, the morale of the Shogunate Army soldiers immediately rose again.
After all, in their minds, the Raiden Shogun was always their guardian deity, an invincible and powerful existence.
The Shogunate Army soldiers also did not believe that a mere Yellow Fox could defeat Inazuma's guardian deity.
"The General is about to make a move! What if the Yellow Fox is here! The common path is grand! The Narukami is eternal!"
Thus, the Shogunate Army soldiers immediately mustered their courage and advanced again.
However, this time, Yuuko did not intend to attack the Shogunate Army.
After all, if he had to solve everything himself, letting the resistance become overly reliant on him would not be a good thing.
Let the resistance deal with the ordinary soldiers in the Shogunate Army.
Yuuko's target was the Raiden Shogun, who had always been in the rear.
Moreover, reinforcements from the rear had arrived.
Gorou had already brought a large group of resistance reinforcements to the scene.
Currently, the total number of resistance fighters on the scene had also reached over two thousand.
They would not be at a disadvantage when facing the numerous Shogunate Army soldiers.
So, Yuuko turned around and shouted to the resistance fighters behind him:
"These Shogunate Army soldiers are yours to handle!"
After speaking, Yuuko transformed into an afterimage, passing through the Shogunate Army.
He arrived at the rear of the Shogunate Army, in front of the Raiden Shogun!
...After Yuuko left, on Nazuchi Beach.
The great battle between the resistance and the Shogunate Army resumed!
However, this time, it was no longer Yuuko leading the resistance, but their general, Gorou!
Under Gorou's command, the two sides engaged in battle once more.
The fighting was extremely fierce.
But probably because they were still outnumbered by the Shogunate Army, the resistance side still fell into a disadvantage.
And they were forced to retreat step by step by the Shogunate Army.
However... the tide of the battle quickly turned again, as a Thunderbird arrow suddenly shot from behind the resistance.
It struck the middle of the Shogunate Army crowd, exploding with flashing lightning.
Instantly taking out several Shogunate Army soldiers!
By the time both sides reacted.
They discovered that behind the resistance, a woman wielding a bow and wearing a tengu mask had arrived.
Gorou stared blankly at this woman.
Even with the tengu mask on her face, Gorou recognized the woman's identity.
After all, Gorou's nose was very sensitive.
But Gorou couldn't understand why this general of the Tenryou Commission would help the resistance repel the Shogunate Army?
Suddenly, Gorou shook his head, casting these unnecessary thoughts aside.
As a general, Gorou also knew that in this situation, he shouldn't be thinking about such questions.
So, he said to the woman in the tengu mask:
"Thank you for your help! Please continue to lend us a hand!"
Beneath the mask, Kujou Sara nodded.
She looked into the distance, at Her Excellency, the General, behind the Shogunate Army, her expression complex, and she murmured in a low voice:
"Her Excellency, the General... even if it has come to this, have you still not changed your mind...?"
Kujou Sara sighed softly, then her eyes filled with determination.
At this point, Kujou Sara had no turning back.
Even helping the resistance and attacking her former comrades was something she would not hesitate to do!
And because of Kujou Sara's joining, the morale of the resistance rose again.
The situation between the two sides gradually reached a stalemate!
...In the rear of the battlefield, Yuuko was still confronting the Raiden Shogun.
Looking at the majestic Raiden Shogun before him, Yuuko smiled:
"Seeing the current situation, do you have no thoughts at all? You should know that a large portion of the current resistance were originally citizens of Inazuma."
"Why do you think so many Inazuman citizens would betray Inazuma to join the resistance?"
The Raiden Shogun remained silent, her facial expression unchanged.
It seemed that the Raiden Shogun was not greatly swayed by Yuuko's words just now.
Seeing this, Yuuko again pointed to the battlefield behind him, to the woman holding a bow and wearing a tengu mask, and said:
"That person was usually the most loyal to you, and even to Inazuma."
"Now, even she has chosen to join the resistance to correct your misguided ideas."
"For this, do you still not think you are wrong?"
The Raiden Shogun followed the direction Yuuko pointed, looking at the tengu mask woman galloping across the battlefield, and fell into thought.
She naturally recognized her as Kujou Sara.
However, the Raiden Shogun's expression still didn't change much, and she raised the naginata in her hand, pointing it directly at Yuuko:
"No matter what, this is all for Inazuma's eternity."
Yuuko sighed helplessly:
"So, you actually knew everything, and tacitly allowed the situation to develop to this point?"
"Yellow Fox, there's no need to say more. I will eliminate all factors that threaten eternity." The Raiden Shogun's aura surged dramatically.
A battle between the two was imminent!
And the outcome here would truly decide the result of this war!
However, in this situation, Yuuko shook his head: "Let her come. You are not my opponent."
These words caused the Raiden Shogun to frown slightly. She suddenly raised the naginata in her hand towards the sky.
The entire naginata was instantly covered with endless lightning, as if it had become a blade composed solely of the lightning element.
The Raiden Shogun was preparing to unleash her strongest strike, Musou no Hitotachi, on Yuuko!
But!
As she was about to swing this strike, Yuuko's figure suddenly blurred.
By the time the Raiden Shogun reacted, Yuuko was already in front of her!
One hand pressed down on the Raiden Shogun's head.
Slamming the head of this village girl fiercely into the ground!
Bang!
Kicking up a huge cloud of dust...
