Chapter 44: The Seal of the Imperial Horse
There are pure cherry blossom patterns and a combination of flowers and leaves, as well as "branch cherry blossoms" with branches. Some of the families that used the cherry pattern were known at a glance, such as the Sakurai clan, the Yoshino clan, and the Hanaki clan, as well as the daimyo of the Tokugawa period, such as Hosokawa, Matsudaira, and Senseki.
Sakura patterns are loved, but there are also people who deliberately avoid them. Many samurai felt that although the sloppy nature of the cherry blossoms coincided with bushido, everyone wanted to have many children and grandchildren, and the family would prosper for generations to come, so although there were many types of cherry blossoms, there were not many users.
- Niwa Kiji "Family Pattern"

When Ashigaru carried guns, shoes, horses, and flags for samurai, he was no longer just ashigaru, but could be called a "waiter", which was a special honor for Ashigaru from a low background. The gun is to facilitate the master to kill the enemy, the shoes are for the master to maintain the straw sandals, and the horse is to do the mundane work for the master, but the flag is different - the flag (also called the finger object, horse print) is embroidered with the master's family crest, symbolizing the honor of the clan. In the eyes of the samurai, death is not terrible, but what is terrible is that when you die, you will be unknown and disgrace your family, so you must carry a banner when you go to battle.
Kagetsu Ringo drastically reformed the military system, except for the retention of the flag-supporting attendants, which was not only for the sake of the samurai class, but also after many actual combat tests, because in "Qiankun", the flag can not only distinguish troops and facilitate deployment, but also is a special prop, which has a bonus to friendly troops near the flag. Asaha Province ordered a large number of "Scourge Banners" from the Dusk Empire, fed them to the major samurai families and asked them to embroider their family crests on the flags, and the flags would be of great use when they converged on the battlefield.
Kazuki Ringo also has her banner, which is the "Immortal Banner" she created with her own "despicable blood", and the value is slightly different from that of Qingyi, with less physical attack and more magic attack, and exists as the imperial horse seal (the logo of the daimyo and the general). The style of the flag is the traditional Japanese flag long straight style, with a black background and a seven-petal cherry blossom painted on it. These seven cherry blossoms are the cherry blossoms that Qingyi saw in the capital, also known as the night cherry blossoms, because their tree bodies are pitch black, there are no branches and leaves during the non-flowering period, they are ugly, and they are the only kind of cherry blossoms that can survive in the Necromantic Paradise and can only survive in the Necromantic Paradise. Cherry blossoms bloom for a short period of time, often only seven days, but the seven cherry blossoms are an exception, as long as there is enough fresh flesh and blood to water them, they can bloom undefeated. Perhaps it was because of this characteristic of the seven cherry blossoms, and Hanazuki Ringo chose it as a family crest.
Finding that Qing Yi was staring at the "Immortal Military Banner" for a long time, Huayue Lin Yi smiled and said, "June-kun, are you worried about your army?" β
"Did you find out about this?" Qingyi turned his head with a smile.
The smile was obviously very gentle, but Kazuki Ringo's heart throbbed, as if the heart that didn't exist had a real sense again. At this moment, the sword soldier Wuji shouted, "You can go out, right?" β
"Please wait, the ninja hasn't sent the information back yet." Kazuki Ringo pleaded politely.
"!" Don't look over your head as if you have a toothache.
It's dinner time in Japan, and it's breakfast time in Massachusetts. Qingyi asked for leave today in order to deal with the upcoming big war, and he was already expected to stay for several hours. The three kings waited for the exact information - waiting for the gods of the enemy camp to go offline.
("How unrealistic is this idea......" Xue Duo has been shocked by the IQ of the three kings)
Isn't it realistic? Perhaps. It's just that for the existence that is beyond reality, maybe unrealistic countermeasures can also be reliable? When Skaul was fighting against Bald Eagles, he felt powerless, and didn't he hope that the other party would rest early? It is biological nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it can only be called recklessness if you know that you are invincible and still fight hard.
No matter how powerful the god is, he is also a player in the final analysis, and there is always a pattern in the online time. Hanazuki Ringo is known for being careful, as early as the day of the flooding of the Santu River, he paid attention to collecting information about the great god (the news channels have forums, players, NPCs, etc.), and it is also the heart of God, and the rules of the great god's work and rest have actually been figured out by her. Although the online time of the "Fuji" god is uneven, "four or five online at the same time" and "only one online" will bring completely different results to the war - at least this is what Qingyi's probability calculation tells him.
Soon, an inward finch flew in, trampled in her ear, and whispered. Kazuki Lin Yi smiled slightly, and said to the two of them in a very ordinary tone: "The next hour is our golden hour. β
The sword soldier Wuji had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and with a wave of his hand, the Eight Rides Emperor appeared. His face cracked, and his body rose higher and higher with the sound of joints. Qingyi and Huayue Lin Yi jumped into the chariot in tacit understanding, one left and one right. The three [Soul Force Fields] overlapped and spread, and a wonderful change occurred...... Swarms of glowing fireflies suddenly appeared, and then danced around the chariots and soldiers, forming an endless sea of stars. These fireflies are actually formless and substantial, and they are purely the energy overflowing from the fire of the king's soul.
"Huh?" As soon as Dao Bing Wuji said a word, he felt that there was a heavy voice echoing, and he didn't know if it was an echo or something. Wherever the wavelength passed, the ashigaru body trembled. He grinned: "Hahaha, this battle is domineering!" β
Huayue Lin Ye sighed "so beautiful", and used a fan to lightly flutter the fluorescent light across his eyebrows.
Qingyi looked up in silence and saw a faint light in the night sky of the far moon. The light 800 kilometers away is really inconspicuous, ordinary people can easily ignore the past, Qingyi doesn't know why he looked in that direction, if he insists on saying it, it is probably a kind of induction, a kind of intuition. Strange to say, as he looked up at the pale green dots of light that stretched to the ground, he heard a rustling sound. In the blink of an eye, the array of lights and rustling sound disappeared, as if an illusion.
Is it really a delusion?
Qingyi shook his head and came back to his senses.
In the depths of the battlefield, a military general riding a flaming mane war horse and wearing armor is rushing left and right, wearing a ghost mask and a thin body, it is the love of Santu Hime's general, Hanazuki Uchio. He splattered on layers of blood, blood from different shells mixed together and congealed into a viscous dark slurry that then formed clots along the lines of his armor and between the joints. He wielded a bloodstained knife, and his eyes were as bright as the blade. Even a well-informed player will be frightened for a moment when he suddenly sees this blood-dripping and calm-eyed killing god. However, in fact, Hanazuki Neixu is only strong on the outside and dry in the middle. The katana's limited range also meant that the enemy had more opportunities to shoot at close range, so he was already covered in wounds.
Suddenly, an onmyoji threw out a note rope and wrapped it around the horse's neck, and the samurai on the side stepped forward to grab the rope in tacit understanding, and Hanazuki Neixu was dragged in place. Kazuki Neixu's eyes flickered, and he was about to swing the knife to break the rope, but the knife stopped halfway through, because a bucket-sized hammer smashed the head of the war horse, and castrated it towards his chest! He reacted very quickly, blocked with the blade of his knife, broke away from the horse's back with the help of his strength, and rolled a few laps on the ground.
Losing the fire of the soul, the fire-maned warhorse turned back into bones and fell apart with a bang.
When the owner of the horse looked up, he was already under siege.
His right arm was already crooked like a seven-section whip, and the smashed katana swayed slightly with his arm, as if to draw an irregular circle on the ground. His chest was smashed into a huge pit, his ribs were broken, and the stubble even pierced through his armor, and white pointed points emerged, like ornaments on his armor. Anyone could tell that he had almost completely eaten the hammer just now, and if it weren't for the fact that he was a necromantic creature, he would have been lying on the ground waiting to die.
No one on the battlefield will pity him. Onmyoji's charms, samurai's swords, and ninja's shurikens pounced on his thin body from all directions, and he was sure to strike a single blow.
In the face of death, he remained calm, raising his hands as if he was about to surrender - his body bowed suddenly, hunched over and almost prostrate on the ground, and his hands grabbed the air and buckled down in front of him! This strange action is said to be dodging but not like dodging, because the spell he should avoid the most accurately hits, that is a fixed talisman, and being frozen on the battlefield is equivalent to death! The green mangs bloomed from the spell and converged into a spell symbol on the head of the flower moon.
At this time, the samurai player who failed to attack was closest to Kazuki Uchio, and he took in the movements, and suddenly lost his mind: How does this posture look like a lion dance on the New Year? Raise the lion's head and walk with your head bowed forward, don't you......
γLion Danceγ.
In this short moment, the soul fire of Kazuki Neixu, who was originally completely at a disadvantage, soared, and actually suppressed the negative state with an all-round elevated attribute. The flame of the soul, which symbolized the soul, rushed around in all directions, like filling a toy bear with cotton, and actually collapsed his chest to support it back to its original shape.
Less than a second before the talisman took effect, it was wiped out by the momentum of the explosion!
Kazuki Uchio's figure also seemed to be pushed by the force of the explosion, and the dust under his feet was sprayed thin, and he broke out of the encirclement in one step! He wields his broken katana with more force than he would on horseback, knocking or slashing players into the air or knocking them over! He is like an enraged lion who slaps the hyena who dares to provoke him!
"Don't fight hard, interrupt his moves with ranged attacks!" The battlefield commander saw that something was wrong and immediately gave the order. [Lion Dance] is a samurai's advanced support skill, which has a great bonus to strength, and must not be melee with it at this time.
However, is it just the strength bonus?
γYingdu Valleyγ!
As melee players switch formations and make room for ranged players to shoot, Kazuki Neixu turns into a stream of wind and passes past one player after another. No one could see his knife clearly, only the red blood arrows on the players who staggered back! It was only then that the long-range attack that had lost its accuracy came belatedly, hitting the afterimage of Kazuki Nei.
"I'm coming!"
The player with the sledgehammer just now smacked and slammed the hammer into the ground! The earthquake trembled, and the shadow warrior who was walking had to slow down and reveal his figure. Directly in front of him, the huge hammer was raised coldly, and it fell heavily again, and the huge wind pressure covered a fan-shaped area where he was.
γIwashimizuγ.
The hammer landed on the ground again, but Kazuki Uchio's man was already behind the hammer player, and he didn't stop and continued to slash forward. The hammer player looked down at his chest with a look of incredulity. Slowly, slowly, a line of blood erupted from his chest, the lines were as fine as a stone crevice, and a fountain of blood erupted from the stone crevice. He raised his hand to cover it, but felt weak, and then fell to the ground.
One hit kills.
