Chapter 502: Changing tactics?
For Coral Palace Xinhai, today can truly be considered her day of suffering!
The war was over and there seemed to be hope. She brought Goro to Inazuma Castle to negotiate in person and was fortunate enough to be received by the Shogun and Yaenomiya.
During the interview, she happened to meet Gu Chen coming back and encountered this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Xinhai of the Coral Palace wanted to seize this opportunity and tried to ask the Lord Gu Chen to protect Haizhi Island.
As a result, Lord Yuzun saw through her intention at a glance and did not agree.
Not only did he not agree, he also revealed the fact that the disaster of evil spirits was caused by his own resistance army.
After hearing the news, Coral Palace felt as if his heart had fallen into an icy cave.
She knew that the hundreds of thousands of lives lost at the hands of the evil god were to be blamed on the resistance forces and Haizhi Island.
This is a heavy sin.
The enormous pressure and guilt weighed on Coral Palace Xinhai's shoulders like a mountain, almost crushing her!
Feeling that the future was bleak, the heart of the Coral Palace ran out of energy and fell into a brief faint.
Although the fainting was only brief and she was just pretending to faint, she heard such bad news while pretending to faint!
The direction that the defecting shogunate army was heading towards was... their Kaiji Island!
After learning this bad news, Coral Palace Xinhai no longer pretended to be unconscious, and looked at Kujo Sara in horror with Goro.
Kujo Sara looked at Coral Palace Shinkai and Goro with a somewhat pitiful look.
Facing their pleading gazes, Kujo Sara repeated:
"You two heard correctly. The direction these shogunate troops defected to was undoubtedly Kaijima."
"and……"
"And what?"
“Also, the defection has happened for some time, I just learned about it.
According to calculations and speculation, the defecting shogunate troops should have already reached... Kaijima Island by now."
Kujo Sara actually meant that Kaijima should have been occupied.
But considering that the word "occupation" would certainly cause great shock to Coral Palace, and fearing that this human-goddess would throw a tantrum on the spot, Kujo Sara could only change the wording.
But it makes no difference whether the wording is changed or not.
How smart is Coral Palace Xinhai?
With just a little thought, she could guess that her own Kaiji Island might have really been killed by the defecting shogunate troops!
Think about it carefully, what is the situation now?
Goro and I were in the castle tower, and there was no one on Kaijima Island who could take charge. There were only ordinary people and the helpless Coral Palace priestesses on the island!
The main force of the resistance army that was supposed to guard Kaiji Island... was now on Fujidori Fort on Yayun Island!
If nothing unexpected happens, the main force of their rebel army should have become prisoners of the Qianyan Army by now!
Wow, the defecting shogunate army created a perfect timing!
They took advantage of the perfect opportunity when there was no guarding force or person in charge on Haizhi Island and entered Haizhi Island!
How did he grasp the timing so accurately?!
After figuring this out, Coral Palace felt increasingly cold-hearted.
You have to know that they were the shogunate army! They were the shogunate army that had defected and was no longer bound by military discipline!
These days, bandits come like combs and soldiers come like rakes.
When a group of bandit-like troops rush into Haizhi Island, which has no ability to resist, what kind of crisis will the people on Haizhi Island face?
Coral Palace didn’t dare to think too deeply!
She looked confused and her eyes were blank.
In a trance, Coral Palace's heart seemed to see the flames of war burning everywhere on Kaiji Island, and seemed to see the people of Kaiji Island being oppressed, plundered and slaughtered by the shogunate army!
Finally, the Coral Palace's heart could no longer hold on.
Her energy was already depleted, and now it was at its limit. She rolled her eyes and fainted.
Wu Lang, who was standing next to him, was shocked when he saw this and quickly supported his Lord Coral Palace.
However, this time, no matter how Wu Lang shook and shouted, Coral Palace Xinhai could not wake up.
Gu Chen above saw it clearly that this time Coral Palace Xinhai was really dizzy and not pretending.
He looked at Lei Dianying and Yae Shenzi in turn, and the three of them were speechless.
Paimeng was floating nearby, and couldn't help but complain with a bitter and vengeful expression:
"how so……
These things...are really..."
Gu Chen nodded slightly and said in a distant tone:
"Yeah, it's such a coincidence.
Whether it's Coral Palace Xinhai and Goro coming over to negotiate, or I sending the Qianyan Army to attack the rebels.
The actions of our two sides happened to give the defecting shogunate army a perfect opportunity to invade Kaijima.
Furthermore, the actions of these defectors from the shogunate army, or rather the actions of Kujo Masahiro and those high-ranking officers of the shogunate army, remind me of a famous tactic."
Paimeng asked without hesitation:
"What tactic?"
"Change tactics."
"Switching tactics?"
"That's right.
Since he couldn't hold on to his base anymore, he might as well gather all the strength and make a big move!
Go directly to other people's territory, eat other people's food, live other people's lives, play other people's games, and solve your own survival problems first before worrying about other things!
But the problem is, this home-changing tactic is groundbreaking and was proposed by a great man in my original world!
What level are these shogunate troops on?
How could the method they came up with be similar to this tactic?"
At this point, Gu Chen crossed his arms, his expression filled with bitterness and hatred:
“It’s not that I look down on them…
Well, I just despise them!
A group of officers of aristocratic origin who usually only like to fight for power in the army, plus a well-known rigid Kujo Masahito, they could never come up with such a method similar to the home-changing tactic even if they were beaten to death!
Well, I admit that this method is essentially just a feint, and it is just a way to feel good before dying. It cannot change the fact that they will eventually be liquidated by us.
But this feint was indeed ingenious, it didn't seem like something they could come up with!
I always feel like someone is guiding them.”
Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lei Dianying and Yae Shenzi looked over at the same time, and Paimeng was also a little surprised and shouted:
"Gu Chen, do you mean... there is a mastermind behind this who is secretly plotting?"
Gu Chen nodded slowly:
"My intuition tells me that this is correct."
Paimon covered his forehead and frowned as he began to think:
“The question is, who is behind all this, planning and calculating it?
Fools?
No, most of the Fatui's forces in Inazuma have been eliminated by you, Gu Chen.
Nobles?
That’s not true. The nobles had already been implicated.
But who else could it be besides them?
It seems that people with this ability no longer exist.”
Just when they were puzzled, Gu Chen suddenly lifted his robe and stood up from his seat:
“There’s no point in making random guesses here, it’s better to investigate it yourself.
I'm going to Haizhi Island now, who wants to go with me?"
