Chapter 566: Extra: Dream, Japan Two Hundred Years Ago (It is recommended to skip)

(The original free chapter became a VIP chapter, and then I posted another free chapter. However, due to mechanical issues, I had to unlock this chapter to have a chance to get a recommendation spot, so I wrote another article instead. I'm sorry.)

1637, Kyushu, Japan.

On the sea between the Shimabara Peninsula and the Amakusa Islands, strange warships with black sails are sailing towards the Shimabara Peninsula.

This is a world full of war.

The Thirty Years' War was in full swing in the West. In the East, there was a large-scale peasant uprising in the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing army invaded the country. Other wars were also ongoing.

On the Japanese island of Kyushu, natural disasters continued. Farmers ate bark and bark roots to satisfy their hunger, and borrowed rice from the feudal government many times. The two lords ignored them and only used severe torture to force rent.

The villager Youemon and his relatives and friends were driven beyond endurance by this atrocity, and gathered seven to eight hundred people to surround and set fire to the lord Tanaka's house.

Tanaka fled into the castle, but the people forced them outside the castle and burned the streets. Later, Amakusa farmers also joined in, and this became the famous Amakusa Uprising.

The shogunate gathered heavy troops and prepared to completely wipe out the Amakusa army.

At this time, those strange warships with black sails on the sea were filled with a terrible stench, and chewing sounds could be heard from time to time.

The tall ronin leader roared, and then each ronin with scarlet eyes on the boat dropped the human corpses in their hands, let out a piercing roar, and prepared to charge towards the shogunate army on the shore.

Come to the island, the navy general of the shogunate, the initiator of the Rogues' landing. He was on a small island that served as a pirate stronghold, watching all this quietly.

Kurushima doesn't think that a few ships of ronin can change the situation of the battle, but he does not want Amakusa Shiro to fail. Although the farmers who had no food to eat were pitiful, he did not sympathize with them.

Lai Dao does not want Amakusa to fail. The most important reason is profit.

The reason why Kashima enjoys such a high status is because he has a huge fleet.

With the existence of this fleet, the islanders can continuously deliver goods from all over the world to Japan, and at the same time rob other countries' merchant ships, monopolize trade, and earn huge profits.

But now that the shogunate wants to close the country, this has undoubtedly touched the back of him, Kurushima Yasuo.

Whether it's swords, iron cannons, or helping him transport demon soldiers. In short, whatever Amakusa Shiro wants, he will get it when he comes to the island.

After all, as long as the war continues, the shogunate will not be able to deal with him, and it has to give him tax exemptions and exclusive product privileges.

Lai Dao put down his telescope and entered the noisy tavern next to him.

Although this pub is opened in Japan, the tables and chairs inside are completely exotic.

The tavern is full of ferocious pirates, including Japanese, Ming Dynasty people, and even Westerners and Indians.

Some were extremely drunk, some were teasing the receptionist, some were beating each other, and more were gathering together and talking nonsense.

These people also have a common characteristic, that is, they are not easy to mess with.

"Miss Flora, I don't think you can find a proud fighter here. All we saw along the way were a bunch of thieves, hooligans and pirates!"

The speaker was a white-haired beauty who was as tall as a man. Her tight body was wrapped in black silk cloth under black plate armor.

The arrogant and somewhat harsh voice made the atmosphere in the noisy tavern quiet.

"woman?"

Pairs of greedy and hungry eyes turned towards the tall beauty, just like a pack of wolves watching for a lamb.

"Suck, you're really good. She's pretty, fair-skinned, has long legs, and she's a white-haired girl."

A wretched dwarf swallowed his saliva and said this, which immediately caused a burst of laughter and the atmosphere in the tavern immediately became lively.

The first thoughts of the drunkards in the tavern when they saw this rare female knight were how much she was worth and how to get her, so they started to talk dirty words one after another.

"Hey, little girl, are you shy? It's your first time going out, right? Do you want to do it for the first time tonight? Good things come in pairs~"

"Don't be afraid, little sister, come to me and I will protect you and take you to interesting places at night."

"Looking at the girl's head turning white from the exhaustion caused by the long journey, the boss gives her a glass of wine and it's on my account. If the girl wants to stay in a hotel, she can stay in my room, hehe~"

The white-haired beauty narrowed her eyes. Although she was often laughed at because of her status as a female knight, this was the first time she heard so many dirty words and she couldn't help but clenched her fists. She had broken more teeth in the past few days than she had in the past twenty years, and there were several irregular dents on her gauntlets that made her very unhappy.

The white-haired beauty seemed to be planning to teach the dwarf a lesson, but a fat bodyguard blocked her way.

"Girl, think about it and get under me. Haha." As the fat bodyguard spoke, he stretched out his hand to hook the white-haired beauty's chin, but before he could finish his words, he was punched away.

Seeing the fat bodyguard being blown away, the drinkers raised their glasses and cheered.

The white-haired beauty ignored the unconscious fat man and continued to walk towards the dwarf.

The dwarf couldn't help but retreat, and finally couldn't help shouting, "Fuck, no matter who it is, don't let this bitch get close to me, I'll pay you twenty gold coins!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the tavern. You know, for many sailors, the reward for a voyage is only one gold coin. A voyage can take several months or even half a year. Twenty gold coins are enough to attract these desperadoes.

As a result, some drinkers have already pushed away the cheap waitress next to them, and some are already preparing to move around.

Not only did the white-haired beauty show no fear, she was even slightly excited.

The white-haired beauty knocked down the bald man behind her with one elbow, then grabbed a thin man by his hair and threw him out, knocking down two drinkers who were about to cause trouble.

"Well done!"

"You deserve it!"

"Who comes next hahahaha."

Behind the white-haired beauty, a girl wearing a large cloak took her arm.

"Stop it, Sofia. We're here to do business."

The white-haired beauty turned back to blow the messed up hair, and patted the little girl in the cloak on the head lovingly.

"Listen to you."

Suddenly the white-haired beauty felt that the lights seemed to dim, and at some point a tall black orc appeared behind her. The black orc's arms were thicker than her legs.

The giant arms closed as fiercely as iron pincers and were unstoppable. Everyone seemed to see the cold female knight being hugged by the black orc, clawing and kicking, yelling and scolding, but to no avail. Even using his head and teeth, he couldn't stop the air from his lungs from being squeezed out bit by bit.

Next, there was a sharp pain in the chest, then the stomach was churning and almost vomiting. Finally, with a muffled sound, the spine was broken, the internal organs were squeezed out, blood and gastric juice spurted out of the mouth, and the limbs hung down weakly.

However, the next second after returning to reality, the white-haired beauty kicked the black orc in the crotch. The black orc was in pain and covered the pain with his hands and slowly knelt down. However, Sophia did not intend to give him this opportunity and covered the black orc's head with both hands. A flying knee hit caused the black orc to completely lose consciousness.

The method was quick and cruel, and the drunkards who were eager to try it just now couldn't help but feel chills in their crotches, and they were so shaken that they almost woke up. Sofia glanced at the men in the tavern as if provocative.

"Very good." Lai Dao clapped and walked out.

As the overlord of the Sea of ​​Japan, he is a local leader. The appearance of Lai Dao made the whole tavern quiet. The dwarf who just offered to beat someone up is now hiding in the corner hoping not to be discovered by Lai Dao.

On the other hand, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, "Hey, you stinky bitches. The women who are attracted to the island will end up worse than dead! That little Japan is so perverted."

The white-haired beauty chose to ignore Lai Dao and prepared to leave with the cloaked girl.

But this kind of disregard made Lai Dao even more excited.

"Woman, you have successfully attracted my attention, and now you are barely qualified to bear my child."

Sofia glanced at Laijima and said something.

"roll."

"Woman, do you know who I am? I am a protégé of His Majesty the Shogun, the Chief of the Shogunate Navy - Kurushima Sozuki! As long as I say a word, you will never step out of Japan! In the entire East China Sea, No one can save you!"

What Laijima told is the truth. He is the absolute overlord of the Sea of ​​Japan, and both the shogunate and the pirates will betray him.

Before the white-haired beauty could reply, a young man who had been sitting in the corner drinking stood up.

"not necessarily!"

"What are you!" Lai Dao was shocked and angry, and asked the samurai around him to get the young man.

With just a flash of the sword, the young man had already arrived in front of Lai Dao. The long knife was placed on Lai Dao's neck. Two of Lai Dao's men slowly fell down later.

"Qi Family Army, Qi will be destroyed!"
