Chapter 265: The Fall of Echigo
Today is different from the past, there is no need to say how important territory was to a force in ancient times, after all, territory is an important platform for the development of forces, and with territory, there is money, food and population.
Now it's different, the forces don't care about the population, they don't care about the strength of the economy, they only need enough fighters to form a force on their own, and it is enough to have some cannon fodder under them who can't shout their names.
Territory is nothing more than a place for the forces to live in, and without territory, the forces will not be dispersed.
Uesugi Kenshin poured out with Echigo's forces, aiming directly at Harima, which was something that would never have been thought of if it had been changed to the old days, after all, the convenience of transportation had improved the inconvenience of marching in the old days.
The topic is a little far, back to the matter of Echigo's sneak attack on Harima.
Uesugi Kenshin took advantage of the contention between Harima and Yamato, and took advantage of the fire to weaken Harima's power, and his intentions were clearly revealed. It would be a strange time to say that she didn't have an alliance with Yamato at the moment.
It's just that with the wisdom of Kanshin Uesugi, it is impossible to imagine what the situation would be if Yamato ruled Kansai, but she did it anyway, why is this? Is it willful, or is it deliberate?
Wayne didn't know this, he asked Kuroda Takataka and Oda Nobunaga to lead people to stop each other, while he chose to go deep into the hinterland of the Yamato forces, he wanted to find out whether the current Yamato had been included in the control of the people behind Himiko.
And this investigation, all kinds of signs indicate a problem, although Komizun and Himiko are still the leaders of Yamato, but the actual control is no longer the two of them.
Why are you so sure?
Because Himiko, who has seen his methods, would never choose to go to war so easily, she is better at calculation, and it is by no means a frontal battlefield, if she is not confident, how can she choose to go to war?
However, this time is different from the past, if it was before, Wayne would have hesitated to be defeated and killed by Yamato and Echigo after the battle, but now there is no such concern, because the merger of Harima and Owari makes his forces completely withstand the offensive of the other two forces.
In the subsequent battle, Yamato's S-class powerhouses appeared in front of the stage, the treasure temple of Fuxing Temple, the source Yoshitsune of Yamashiro and the Musashibo Benkei, etc., whose depth is eye-catching.
Not only that, Echigo Uesugi Kenshin cooperated with Himiko to ambush Harima and Owari fighters many times, although both sides suffered casualties on each other, but it was obvious that the losses on Wayne's side were greater.
"So far, we have lost 23 fighters, 5 A-level and 18 B-class..."
In the report, Dao Mo glanced at Wayne, who had no change in expression, and continued, "On the Yamato side, there are 12 fighters who have lost them, and all 12 are B-rank. Among them, there is no loss of repatriation to grade C. ”
After listening, Wayne rubbed his eyebrows, "It's almost a 1 to 2 ratio, in the final analysis, there are too few high-end combat power here, and only with Lu Bu and the three of them who have just stepped into the S-rank, they can only defeat an old S-level powerhouse." As for the others, it's negligible, and if I could, I really wanted to pull the forces over there in the Kanto region. ”
Hearing this, Dao Mo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "You should know that this kind of war has little to do with numbers. ”
Wayne was noncommittal, suddenly thought of something, and asked inexplicably, "There is something I forgot to ask you, how about the things I asked you to check?" Is it what I thought it would be? ”
Hearing this question, Dao Mo was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly, "There is indeed such a thing, I haven't paid attention to it before, and now I have found out that after the death of the fighter, his life and soul are missing." ”
"You're saying that hasn't happened before?"
"Well, the fighter died before, only Magatama is still there, and the soul is still there, I checked some information, a year ago, it seems that something happened, this situation has changed, it seems that the way of existence of the soul has changed."
A year ago? Wayne frowned, and couldn't help but think of the day he came to Kanto a year ago, but not by himself?
Could it be that the reason for this change is because of himself?
Just when Wayne was puzzled, in the underground secret room of Yamato College.
But seeing that this place should have been a place to pile up sundries, at this moment it has been engraved with ancient inscriptions, these inscriptions are obscure and mysterious, and they are intertwined with each other to form a formation.
But seeing that the fox-like woman walked to the center of the formation, stretched out her right hand and wiped it lightly, one by one the luster-losing magatama fell from the invisible air and made a tinkling sound.
They shattered as they landed, and the glowing light green halo formed a spherical light cluster that began to converge and circle, like satellites following orbits shuttling back and forth on the formation.
As the light clusters became more and more, they began to gradually converge until they formed a huge oval that floated motionless in the center of the formation, and from time to time there was a sound that seemed to be a heartbeat.
Seeing this, the Ruhu woman showed a look of relief on her face, "It's almost there, it's just a little bit..."
At the same time, the land of Echigo.
Missing for a long time, Shibata Katsuie, whose fate is unknown, pulled out the knife from the chest of Naoe Kanesu, who looked stunned and painful, with an indifferent expression at this moment, and there were many corpses lying beside her, all of whom were people from the Echigo forces without exception.
She walked up to Kenshin Uesugi who had fallen to the ground, and the knife in her hand was on the other party's neck, feeling it tremble slightly, she didn't react, and the knife still intended to harvest the other party's life.
At this moment, a silver crescent moon appeared, swinging Shibata Katsuie's knife away.
Staggering back a few steps, when Shibata Katsuie reacted, Uesugi Kenshin had already been rescued.
