A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 177

The other Zahe people around also looked over. Although they did not speak, it was obvious that they had made the same judgment. No one wanted to fight with such an enemy. I am afraid they would not be much comparable to Cao Jie in front of the other party. the difference!
Master Suzuki couldn't help but tremble all over, as if he had just escaped from a nightmare. He glanced again at the young man who was smiling and looking in his direction. He immediately gritted his teeth and did the opposite of what they expected. Order.

"No, we can't escape here, and together with each other, kill all the remaining monk soldiers in Long Island City!"

As soon as he said this, all the Zahe people looked at him dumbfounded, and they all doubted their ears.

In particular, his deputy Shiro couldn't help but directly dissuade him: "Young Master, this is your first time to lead us into battle, and it is also an opportunity given to you by the Lord of the City. You must be cautious!"

"Needless to say, this is not just for your or my own life, but for the Zahe people and for my Suzuki clan!"

When he shouted loudly at the end, his voice broke on the spot. It was no longer the deep voice before, but a slightly hoarse female voice!

This immediately aroused a look of astonishment from the surrounding people. They had never known that their temporary leader could actually make such a sound. Combined with all the strange things they had done when they got along before, some smart people had vaguely guessed the truth. The other party was probably It's a woman!
At this time, seeing that there were fewer and fewer surviving monks, Suzuki simply stopped covering up and directly restored the original female voice: "No matter what the consequences are, I will bear them all! You just need to know that doing so is It’s the most beneficial to Zahe Zhong and Zahe City!”

As she spoke, she took out two exquisite short-handled Nanman iron cannons from her waist, and took the lead in attacking the monk soldiers fleeing in the forest.

Several gunshots were heard, and as a few streaks of smoke rose, the four monk soldiers who were more than ten meters apart froze almost at the same time, and then fell to the ground with a "pop".

This is her marksmanship, and it is also one of the reasons why she is able to lead the Zahe people on mercenary missions by virtue of her identity as a woman!

But she never expected that in just her first mission, she would encounter such a difficult and almost irresistible powerful enemy.

And she was sure that the phantom of the firebird before was not an illusion. If the other party could command that firebird, then if she had a good relationship with the other party, could she also do something?
Thinking of this, Suzuki became more and more determined in his mind. If his idea could really come true, his father and everyone in the family would not be able to ignore his existence!
Although the other congregants still hesitated a lot, after all, defecting and attacking their employers would have a great impact on the reputation of their congregation, and it would also greatly deteriorate the diplomacy with Long Island City.

However, after seeing that Suzuki had taken the lead in shooting and killing someone, they finally chose to follow under the leadership of Suzuki's deputy Shiro.

On the one hand, it is because Mr. Suzuki has claimed that he will bear all the consequences. On the other hand, as long as he kills all the monks present and reaches an agreement with the group over there, and no one spreads the matter, it will naturally not affect them too much. reputation!
So Axiu and Ningning were soon surprised to find that with a series of thunderous sounds, the remaining monk soldiers fell to the ground one by one. Compared with the iron artillery soldiers that Asai Nagamasa had just trained, these miscellaneous soldiers The crowd's shooting skills are undoubtedly much higher.

Coupled with Asai Nagamasa's magic and Inugami's attack, in less than half a cup of tea, the nearly two hundred monk soldiers sent by Nagashima City this time were all buried here, and no one could escape.

At this time, Asai Nagamasa smiled slightly and turned the folding fan in his hand several times, controlling the flames that were still not completely extinguished on the ground and quickly swept through the bodies of the monk soldiers.

Most of them have turned into corpses, there may be some who are unable to move due to serious injuries, and some who want to pretend to be dead when the situation is bad, but when the flames come, the ending waiting for them is the same.

After a dozen breaths, just like the surrounding trees that were affected, they all turned into ashes. The flames summoned by the spell, coupled with the powerful increase of the guardian spirit phoenix, were indeed much more powerful than the previous day. .

Although Asai Nagamasa was a little surprised and surprised by Zaga Zhong's choice, he could still keep a smile, because the other party's performance already showed their compromise, and it was in this way that they showed their respect to themselves. Show kindness.

But one of the gunshots is a bit special, and the special thing is that it fires too fast.

Nowadays, most of Nippon's iron cannons are matchlock guns. It takes dozens of breaths to fire once and then reload.

But the unique sound just now not only sounded four times in succession for the first time, but the subsequent reloading time was obviously ten times faster than that of ordinary iron cannons.

Unless the other party has dozens of identical, loaded iron cannons, there is only one possibility, and that is that the other party is using a more advanced iron cannon, or a real gun!
Although he was a little surprised, Asai Nagamasa was not too shocked. Not to mention that the Agote Chamber of Commerce already had miniaturized pistols. According to his knowledge in his previous life, the people in Cathay and the Old World are currently the best at using firearms. The empire has basically advanced the technology of gunpowder weapons to almost the level of World War I.

Pistols, sniper rifles, and large barrels are all child's play. They have even built rocket launchers and steam tanks!

Soon the Inugami turned into a puppy again, holding his sword and clothes scattered on the ground, and trotted back to Asai Nagamasa.

Asai Nagamasa gently stroked the other person's head and back as a compliment. Although Inugami tried his best to warn himself to be steady, he couldn't help but wag his little tail.

Nothing else, this is purely canine instinct.

But Suzuki and a group of miscellaneous people who stepped out of the forest later did not dare to underestimate it at all, because just now, they saw the puppy transform into a monster with their own eyes, and killed dozens of monk soldiers in succession with great ease. Among them was even the monk soldier leader who was quite famous in Changdao City.

But now they have roughly figured it out. With that appearance and being controlled by Asai Nagamasa, who is suspected of being an onmyoji, it should be the legendary Inugami, right?
Looking at Nagamasa Asai who was still teasing Inugami, Suzuki took a deep breath and finally prepared her words. Then she took off her veil directly to show her sincerity.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Asai. I am Akane Suzuki, the beloved daughter of Zaiga Suzuki Satafu. I almost took action against you because I rashly listened to the slanderous words of the Nagashima Castle Monk Soldiers. Everything is my fault. I hope you can Spare my companions."

As soon as Suzuki Akane opened her mouth, she took all the responsibility on herself, which made many people behind her, who had learned her true gender and name for the first time, couldn't help but get a little commotion.

Although they were scared to death, it was still a difficult test for them to let the city lord's daughter die for them.

Looking at Akane Suzuki, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, very mature in both face and figure, Asai Nagamasa, who was caressing the Inugami, couldn't help but chuckle. "But Miss Suzuki, you still made a wise choice in the end, which shows that you are a smart person, and I always like smart people, so let's forget about it for the time being. I hope there won't be a second time."

Although they are both members of the Yixiang Sect, Zahe Zhong and Changdao City are completely different.

The monks in Changdao City are the most common and normal Yixiang believers, and they are still the less developed ones. However, because the Zahe Sect is very close to Jie Town, and its contemporary leaders are famous for being good at accepting new things, Therefore, Zahe Zhong has a large number of iron cannons, and it is even said that they even have large barrels.

This threat is too great.

Although the leader of the Zaga clan in front of me is a woman, it was beyond Asai Nagamasa's expectation, but once she heard her surname, she knew that she must be the real descendant of the Zaga clan, and now she even called herself the Suzuki family The daughter of the family governor Suzuki Shigei, and she also holds a short-handled iron cannon that is very rare in Nippon, which shows that her status in the Suzuki family is definitely high.

Asai Nagamasa took a special look. Just as he had guessed before, the iron cannon in the opponent's hand was not an ordinary matchlock gun at all. Although the shape was a little weird, he could still tell at a glance that they were two bolt-action guns. pistol!
Then it is completely understandable that she fired so fast just now, because her bullets must also be specially made, rather than bullets plus gunpowder. The technological content of this thing is directly hundreds of years ahead of ordinary matchlock guns. The technology and preciousness are completely different.

Once he touched her and really formed a blood feud with her, unless he could completely eliminate Zahe City in one fell swoop, it would definitely be a catastrophe.

Asai Nagamasa himself is fine, but many other important ministers in the family are always in danger.

To a certain extent, the current Zaga clan is almost on par with powerful ninja groups like Iga or Koga. They are all forces that can avoid offending as much as possible, because their ensuing revenge will definitely Extremely tragic.

Ordinary bamboo bows and ninja darts are only a few dozen meters away, but the maximum range of iron cannons is about a hundred meters, and the effective range is also tens of meters. If they really want to carry out assassinations, their efficiency will not be lower than that of ninjas. .

However, Zaga Zhong also has a characteristic, that is, they are professional war mercenaries. As long as they can be given enough money, they are very loyal subordinates. This is very similar to the ninjas of Iga.

Of course, this also has a premise, that is, they cannot be hired to deal with other Ichigo clan, because the leader of Zahe City, Suzuki Shigei, relied on the power of the Ichiko clan to grow to this point from the beginning.

Even if their wings are strong now, they can actually no longer rely on the Ichikai clan, but just like the relationship between the Tsutsui family and Kofukuji Temple not far from here, it is always good to have a strong backer.

However, Asai Nagamasa had never heard of Zagazhong doing things like this kind of betrayal of the employer on the spot, or even fighting back. This Suzuki Akane, who led the brigade of Zagazhong as a woman, was very concerned about herself. What kind of desire is there?

Hearing this, Akane Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew that things would never end so easily. She hurriedly added: "Thank you very much, Mr. Asai, for your understanding. I promise that this kind of thing will never happen." I hope this will not affect the friendship between my Suzuki family and you."

"But this time it was indeed my recklessness that caused such a rude disrespect. If possible, I hope you can go to my Zaga City in person, so that my Suzuki family can show the kindness of a landlord."

Asai Nagamasa was about to say something, but suddenly, his expression changed, and the guardian spirit phoenix in his body conveyed some special information to him.

There was no guardian spirit on Suzuki Akane in front of her, but Huang felt the aura of a bird guardian spirit on her body that also controlled the flames. That was its unique ability as the king of birds.

In the past two days, Akane Suzuki actually came into contact with an ownerless bird guardian spirit, and Huang also felt that the opponent's strength should be quite good. According to it, even if it is inferior to it, it is definitely better than [-]% better. of bird guardian spirits.

This couldn't help but interest Asai Nagamasa. There are never too many guardian spirits, especially such ownerless guardian spirits, which are even more rare.

So he nodded: "I also hope to be friends with the Zahezhong and the Suzuki family. If there is a chance, I will go."

Suzuki Akane was overjoyed immediately, although she knew that the other party was probably just a simple polite, but at least it was a very good start, if the other party really had that kind of ability, even her father would treat her as a guest of honor.

After thinking for a moment, she said without any hesitation: "Master Asai, to be honest, we learned from the monks in Nagashima City that you seem to be returning to Kitaomi, so I don't know if you need the power of our Zahezhong. ?”

The people behind her became uneasy when they heard this, because according to the order they had received before, Suzuki Akane only had the right to take them on this mission. His father seemed to want to test her strength, and she I am not yet qualified to take on tasks for them.

However, because there were outsiders present and even Shiro, who was the opponent's deputy, did not speak, they finally chose to remain silent.

Asai Nagamasa felt helpless when he heard this. What's going on? It seems that everyone who has seen him recently knows his intentions?
Really, I obviously still want to complete this plan smoothly and quietly.

It seems that we have to speed up the action. Yesterday, I sent someone to notify Shima Sakon and the others. Although the time is obviously a little tight, if the plan goes well, I can return to Otani Castle tomorrow!
Although he didn't know why Suzuki Akane in front of him didn't take the opportunity to leave, but instead boldly tried to win over him further, Asai Nagamasa still decided to accept the other party's kindness, because he really needed the power from Zaga Zhong.

"I am also training my own iron artillery soldiers. If possible, I would like to invite ten people to serve as iron artillery masters at home. The hiring price will be double that of outsiders. I wonder what Ms. Suzuki thinks?"

He had known for a long time that the training of iron artillery soldiers could not be concealed at all. After all, the noise caused by every shot they fired was very noisy.

Suzuki Akane finally felt relieved, and she nodded hurriedly in response: "Of course, it is our honor to be able to serve a powerful warrior like you!"
