Whenever you are in a game, you feel joyful, and if your whole life becomes a game, then you simply can't imagine how happy you will become.

- Osho (Founder of Rajnesh Ashram)

Nishimura's voluntary choice of sacrifice made the atmosphere in the headquarters obviously become tragic, and everyone knew that no matter how insistent Yoshikawa's words were, they could not change the reality that Nishimura was about to disappear forever, and this was sacrifice.

Naoki Yoshikawa, who knew where his duty was, reluctantly suppressed the sadness in his heart, turned his head and ordered Xia Chuan Pinggong: "Xia Chuan-kun, in the next defensive battle, you will lead the army to garrison the outer wooden wall defense line. ”

"In addition to the original 10,000 elites under your command, Yamashita Jun will send you another 20,000 soldiers with slightly inferior combat strength, and what you need to do is to defend the outer wooden wall for at least five days, and if necessary, I will allow you to set fire to the outer wooden wall!"

"Commander, the perimeter wall is the most important line of defense for our defense, and I will try to hold on as long as possible to buy precious time for the defense in the back. Xia Chuan Pinggong said with a firm promise: "People are on the wall, and people are dead and the wall is destroyed!"

"No, Xia Chuanjun, it's not wrong for people to be on the wall, but people can't die when the wall is destroyed. Naoki Yoshikawa stared at Natsukawa with burning eyes and said, "We need you to lead the army to retreat to the second line of defense against the wooden wall, and continue to command the army to resist the enemy's attack." ”

"If you lead your army to die in the first line of wooden wall defense, then who should hand over our second, third, and fourth wooden wall defense lines to lead the army to defend? Yamashita-kun wants to sit in the camp to ensure the stability of the rear, Nishimura-kun is about to go away, and we are only left with you. ”

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do!" Xia Chuan Heigong was about to say something, but was rudely interrupted by Naoki Yoshikawa: "Xia Chuan-kun, I can't let you all die because of this war, if so, what is the value of victory for us?"

"Loyalty to the Lord and fighting for the Lord is indeed the proudest thing for each of us, but I can't watch each of you die on the battlefield, I would rather sit back and watch 10,000 soldiers die on the battlefield than see any of you Horse Leather Shroud!"

Naoki Yoshikawa, who revealed his true feelings, even his eyes became rosy, perhaps, in Bai Feng's eyes, the spies and ninjas of the shogunate palace system were inconsequential non-Roman mainstream branch special combat forces, but they were also flesh and blood lives.

The battle of life and death, and the experience of sharing weal and woe, made Yoshikawa Naoki and Nishimura Jun and others establish a very deep relationship with Robeze, so Yoshikawa Naoki did not want to see his Robe brothers die on the battlefield, and he was even more unwilling to send them to death with his own hands.

"Yoshikawa-kun, I believe that with the 30,000 soldiers under my command, coupled with the solidity of the first wooden defensive line, I will be able to withstand the enemy's attack for at least five days, and when the five-day period comes, as long as nothing can be done, I will definitely lead my army to withdraw to the second line of defense to hold on. ”

"Okay!" Naoki Yoshikawa, who obviously heard the subtext in Xia Chuan's words, didn't say anything more after all.

"Yamashita-kun, the 15,000 soldiers left to you are not only your strength to stabilize the rear camp, but also our last living force, and you must ensure that no matter how fierce the battle of the wooden wall defense line is, the rear camp must not break out in any chaos that distracts our forces. ”

"Xia Chuan-kun, please rest assured, before the last wooden wall line of defense falls, I will make sure that there will be no chaos in the rear camp!" Yamashita Yoki said with a calm face: "If the front is less than a month, I will find a way to pull the enemy to destroy together." ”

The understatement shows the unusually firm will to fight in the depths of Yamashita Yoki's heart, and in this regard, Naoki Yoshikawa, who has heard the statements of Nishimura Jun and Natsukawa Heigong one after another, is no longer able to persuade anything.

After the secret meeting, which lasted less than an hour, Nishimura was busy selecting 3,000 dead soldiers, Natsukawa Heikoshi was busy arranging the defense of the first wooden wall line, and Yamashita Yoki was busy searching for the families of enemy soldiers and giving speeches in preparation for battle.

Because Yoshikawa Naoki has always been accurate positioning and secret propaganda of Yamashita Yoki, Yamashita Yoki has unparalleled prestige among the rebels;

In Yamashita Yoki's speech, the leader of the far north of Luxi, Viriacius, is described as a puppet controlled by the traitorous aristocracy, and the famous Luci general Gregory, who led a 100,000-strong counterinsurgency army south, is a shameful scum who secretly defects to the traitors.

In other words, almost the entire Luxi tribe has become a paradise for traitors, but it is himself and others who bear the name of the rebels who have become the heroes who saved the Luxi tribe.

More than 100,000 barbarian elders, women, and half-grown children who had not yet been recruited into the army by Yamashita Yoki took up their own rudimentary weapons and took the initiative to join the defense army.

According to common sense, Yamashita Yoki's speech should not have such a remarkable effect, even if it was secretly fueled by spies, but the facts in front of us are enough to prove that the fanatical gesture of more than 600,000 crazy shouts is by no means deliberately disguised.

Yamashita Yangxi, who didn't know why, didn't have the time to think too much at all, and the only thing he could do on the podium was to guide the fanatical barbarian people as much as possible to fight a desperate and difficult war against the counterinsurgency army that was about to enter the city.

In stark contrast to Yoshiki Yamashita's confusion, Naoki Yoshikawa, who remained at the headquarters and did not leave, listened to the deafening shouts coming from all directions, and only said to himself in a voice that was close to whispering:

"Fighting a lose-losing war with Gregory's 100,000 counterinsurgency army in exchange for the full support of 650,000 barbarian people, and fighting a lose-lose war with Gregory's 100,000 counterinsurgency army may be the fate of our ninjas, born in the night, dying in the dark, and never seeing the light for life. ”

"I hope that Nishimura-kun, Natsukawa-kun, and Yamashita-kun, they can live until the lord comes to help. Naoki Yoshikawa, who rarely showed a relaxed look on his face, said to the spies gathered behind him: "As for us, we should also make our own choices for the lord's plan!"

Because almost all of the ninjas whose combat effectiveness was not inferior to the aristocratic warriors of the Luxi tribe were arranged by Yoshikawa Naoki to serve as officers at all levels in the rebel army, the ten ninjas and eighty spies who remained by his side became the only hole cards in his hand.

The three of them, who were busy with Yamashita Yoki, Natsukawa Heiko, and Nishimura, didn't know that when they were unusually busy, Naoki Yoshikawa had quietly left the Kirkwall camp with ten ninjas and eighty spies, and headed for a destination that no one knew.

Of course, before leaving Kirkwall's camp, Naoki Yoshikawa also handed over the true content of Hakumine's order to a spy who remained in the camp, and ordered him to give this secret letter with the lord's order to Yamashita Yoki after the camp had successfully held out for fourteen days.

Naoki Yoshikawa, who did not dare to guarantee that he would come back alive, could only choose to tell Yamashita Yoki the truth in this way, and in his opinion, by the time Yamashita Yoshiki and the others learned the truth, they must have successfully completed the lord's order, and they themselves deserved to die.
