"Don't be careless, there might be an ambush."
Kujo Sara rode up to him and reminded the general.
"That's right. Let the vanguard go up and test it first. If there are no problems, then we can push the main force over."
At Kujo Masahito's command, the vanguard troops in front charged towards the enemy.
"In order to advance as quickly as possible, I will return to the warship first."
He rode his horse back, leaving only Kujo Sarath to give orders on his behalf.
The rebel forces in front were defeated just as they expected. Even the vanguard troops suffered few casualties, and most of the enemy were almost wiped out. Only a few who escaped first were not caught up.
It's not a fight of all-out struggle, nor is it an extreme one of collapse at the first touch... Am I overthinking it?
Seeing this, Kujo Sara, who was always observing the developments on the battlefield, was no longer suspicious and rode his horse to the coast.
Watching a warship approaching, she stepped onto the horse's back, lifted her body into the air, and then spread the black wings behind her, landing steadily on the deck.
It is still early and the morning sea mist has not yet dissipated.
The morale of the soldiers is high. If we wait for the weather to clear up, the morale of the soldiers will be affected.
Considering the enemy's performance just now, Kujo Masahiro shouted:
"March!"
Then the ship set sail and headed towards Haigi Island.
The wind was just right, and the sailing ship quickly approached Haigi Island, but when it was not far from the coast, it felt a change in wind direction.
"The wind direction has changed, quickly reef the sails."
Just as the sailors were lowering the sails, a hail of arrows aimed with exceptional precision at the ship where Kujo Masahiro was.
The sudden attack without any warning caught the Tenryo Bugyo off guard. Kujo Masahiro and other soldiers quickly raised their swords to block it.
"Do you still want to fight stubbornly?"
Their attention was all focused above, and they naturally ignored the crisis at sea.
A ship loaded with hay slowly approached from the sea. After approaching the ship, the people on the ship quickly set the hay on fire and then jumped into the sea. Relying on their advantage as sea dwellers, they disappeared underwater in an instant.
The small boat was blown forward by the wind and waves, and the flames burned the hay above it, emitting a smell of fuel as it burned.
"Report, there is a burning ship approaching below!"
By the time the Tenryo Bugyo discovered it, it was too late. The ship that Kujo Masahito was on had already started a fire from the bottom, and in a blink of an eye, the fire spread to the entire ship under the wind.
"I'll go help—"
The attendant holding the Eye of the Water Element God beside Kujo Sara immediately reported and went to support under the rain of arrows.
At the same time, there was a deafening sound of people moving on the shore, and the sound of drums and shouts of killing had already sounded before the ship docked.
"An ambush?"
Kujo Sara, who had already had this concern, ordered the remaining ships to remain stationary and ordered his subordinates to raise their shields to guard against the same rain of arrows that might fall from the other side.
"water."
The God's Eye holder immediately used his elemental power to put out the fire on the ship after landing, shouting:
"Those who can lift their shields, raise them. Those who can't, jump into the water first!"
At this extremely critical moment, he saw a meteor flashing with brown light passing by in front of him.
A meteor? No, it was an arrow imbued with elemental power—
The arrow came with great force, unlike other arrows that were thrown as far as possible. This arrow had a powerful force and a specific target, and was obviously aimed at the most noble person:
"careful!"
There was no time for anyone to dodge, so he could only use his body to block Kujo Masahiro.
……
"The general was attacked, and it's very likely that the enemy has completely locked onto him."
"Plus, the enemy is in the dark, and their numbers and equipment are unknown, so the Tianling Bugyo chose to retreat."
After Muramasa finished telling the story of his integration, he found that no one seemed to respond to him.
Ok?
Could it be that this story disappointed them?
Although Muramasa was a little uneasy, he didn't show it and just waited for their response.
"Well, it's very logical..."
Linghua nodded first, but then a cold wind blew.
There was no malice in the cold wind, so Muramasa let the chill blow past him, only to feel the candle in his hand go out.
then……
"Wow--"
“H-Hoo…”
Two voices, one big and one small, rang out from beside him, and then two jade-like bodies pounced over from the side.
Muramasa only felt two soft lumps hitting his cheek, and a head suddenly appeared at his waist.
"What are you doing all of a sudden, you two?"
Muramasa was not surprised, but his face turned red in the darkness and he tried to ask in a normal tone.
"Aren't you scared?!"
Xiao Gong, who was originally full of self-satisfaction, made a somewhat resentful sound, and the soft object that was sticking to Muramasa's cheek also retreated immediately.
"It really doesn't work..."
The white head on the waist did not retreat in a hurry, but lingered a few times in annoyance.
After a period of commotion, the lights were finally lit again.
The two people who failed in their prank were extremely upset, but Linghua sat aside and couldn't hide her smile:
"Looks like you two will have to put in more effort next time~"
"It was Muramasa who committed the foul."
Hai Ling puffed out her cheeks, looking indignant, though she wasn't truly angry. Xiao Gong, eager to watch the fun, also chimed in:
"That's it!"
"I'm telling you guys..." Muramasa was helpless against these two unreasonable little girls. He just shook his head, but in his heart he was concerned about something else:
Speaking of which, my story has not been evaluated...
"But it's getting late today. I'm very happy to chat with you guys. I hope I can have such an opportunity next time."
She stood up gracefully, patted her clothes, and wanted to say goodbye to everyone with a smile.
"Are you leaving? I didn't hear any carriage noise."
The two of them came here by car, but when they went back, Muramasa didn't hear any similar sounds.
"Indeed, because the time I told him was actually a little later."
The smile on her face remained peaceful, but her eyes looked away somewhat embarrassedly:
"Just think of it as my little willfulness~"
At this time, as the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, she wants to return alone. I'm sure she won't be accepted, so she came up with the idea of staggering the time?
Muramasa looked at her and made some guesses in his mind:
It's a rare opportunity to play with others. Even if I can't stay longer, I want to digest this little joy on my own... There's no other way.
"Well, how about I accompany you back? It's not nice to let a girl walk alone at night."

After saying goodbye to Xiaogong and Hailing, Linghua walked onto the street shrouded in darkness. She walked briskly alongside Muramasa.
At this moment, Muramasa's perception was slightly touched.
Not around, but in his own distant workshop.
Although the magic power supplied from there is no longer needed, the perception barrier is still functioning well.
It seems like someone has entered my house...
"By the way, Mr. Muramasa."
While sensing this, Linghua suddenly asked:
"I'm actually a little curious about some parts of that story just now. Could you explain it to me?"
"You don't have to be so respectful." Hearing her respectful words, Muramasa felt goosebumps rising. "If you have anything to say, just ask directly. Although I am teaching you swordsmanship, I can't stand your constant politeness."
"Is that so? Sorry, I'm used to it..."
Suddenly realizing that what he had just said was also a common expression in social situations, he stopped talking and said:
"So, Muramasa?"
"Yeah." This time Muramasa just responded briefly.
"Yes, Muramasa. That's right, about that story just now... How was it that the people of Umijima were able to hit the Tenryo Bugyo's general so accurately in the fog?"
"Because I have seen that general from Kaigi Island before. He has the physical characteristics of a dog."
When I accepted the commission from Kaigi Island to forge swords, it was this general who came to contact me:
"And just now, when the wind was favorable, even though the Shogunate troops didn't notice us, their scent had already been completely captured."
"Is that so? Then the arrow with elemental power was also shot by the general near the shore."
Linghua was very good at learning from one example and applying it to other situations. This was the only possibility to accurately hit the people on the ship that had not yet reached the shore.
As long as we find the general, we can directly launch a decapitation operation.
"Well, as for why we didn't choose Kujo Sara, that girl's reputation is too prominent. Everyone knows she's quite capable."
If she was chosen as the target of beheading, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to intimidate the heavenly dog.
"Besides, I'm afraid they didn't really intend to successfully behead that general, did they?"
"Hmm?" Hearing Muramasa say this, Linghua was a little confused: "Did they fail on purpose?"
"Well, that's about it," he explained. "Even if no one blocked it for that guy, that arrow wouldn't have killed him."
"At least the leader of Kaigi Island definitely doesn't intend to fight to the death with the shogunate army."
If the eldest son of the Kujo family died in this battle, the option of peace talks would be completely eliminated.
"Although this is just a little bit of my life experience."
"I always feel that you know a lot about Muramasa?" Linghua listened with her eyebrows curved and a smile on her face.
"No, it's just that as a knife maker, I have to deal with all kinds of people."
As Muramasa spoke, he was thinking about the many people he met after death.
"Can you tell me about your past?"
Kamisato Ayaka suddenly changed the subject. She rarely heard stories from other countries, let alone stories from other worlds.
"Before... I have almost forgotten everything I said before I died."
Before his death...
I'd heard someone report Muramasa's identity before, but hearing it from him personally was still a little strange.
But then she noticed something strange:
"Have you forgotten everything?"
"what……"
