715 Episode 714: The Midnight Sea
Side: a long time ago
I can hear the waves hitting the ship. Under the lamp for the ship, Elle is still knitting the muffler. Everyone else was having a quiet evening while spending their time on each of them.
No one is drinking today. We don't even know if our enemies are coming or not. They all think it's coming though.
"Tea is in"
In a subtle nervousness, it was the former playgirl's garden who made me match tea. Though I had just reunited with a bunch of sneaky people to share my joy.
Your garden and sister already work on the boat. I should have cleaned up after dinner earlier. This is Shiqing's instruction. He said that it would be easier for him/her to work than for the customer, so I leave it to him/her.
Garden. You're educated that it's a story you heard lightly. The same goes for making tea like this. You're from a martial arts family or something?
"Speaking of which, do you know why Lord Ouchi doesn't move?
"Rumors are famous that you've been like that for a long time. Is it seven or eight years ago? We have heard that since your adopted son died during the attack on Niko from a house in Tosa, he has changed. You think he was brilliant and adorable in Bunwu? Since then, we have heard that it has kept the Tao Lung House away, and that the government has become uninterested, which has led to this disturbance."
I brought the tea and I seemed to be waiting for the next instruction, so I'll ask you something that bothers me a little. Yoshitaka Ouchi. You're the one who doesn't get it, right?
Yoshitaka Ouchi and Tao Lung House are famous for their relationship to the public roads. However, there are many theoretical backgrounds for conspiracy, and there are parts of it that we do not know for sure that this is the cause.
There are theories that Yoshiro and the public were dissatisfied with the territory due to heavy taxes, but it has become the guardian of perimeter defense, Nagato, Yasuo, Ishimi, Tsukima and Toyotomi and ruled them in the power zone, and with reference to the Taichu district, it lightly exceeds a million stones. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Westland is one of the best countries to combine this with the interests of trading closely with Hakata's merchants, and then with industry in technology learned from Ming.
Can we say that we are imposing extreme heavy taxes in such circumstances? On perimeter defense, which is the main area.
I also questioned it and asked, but what Mr. Oyagi mentioned was Ouchi Harumomo, who died in the war with Niko.
Surely they were adorable and they should have also said that was one reason to keep the Tao Lung Houses militants away.
The most undeniable aspect of the power struggle within the Ouchi family is also undeniable. Although Lung is a guardian, the Ouchi family ruled by the rulers of the rulers that led to the concentration of power in the Great Names.
The military should have been halfway out of mosquito nets in territorial rule anyway. Well, when I saw the way Lung Houses did after the conspiracy of historical facts, it wasn't good enough to govern either.
"I think I may have been disgusted. In this rough world."
As I contemplated the words of the garden, the stepsister who drank the tea opened his mouth. He said he knew what it was like.
As previously reported by the Ninja crowd, the rivalry between the rulers and militants would certainly have been since the Niko attack. Isn't it true that Yoshitaka Ouchi left it half alone because he was more disgusted than he believed?
I would have liked to see you if I was in a calmer situation. Watching the Ouchi family thrive, I'm sure we could have had a good story.
"I say. We've got a couple of boats coming in here without lights on."
That was near morning, after three ugly hours. I woke up with Ole who was uttering to bring it to Elle.
Everyone else was awake. People who have never stayed up all night. You've been awake a lot.
Butterflies and people move. Sailors and Oda ministers exit the cabin and are placed. Placements and roles are predetermined. I don't do anything that hard. All you have to do is position the arrow shield and attack it with a flying tool.
"Snow, are you the enemy?
"I can't complain if they mistake me for a burglar or thief if I don't even get the lights on at night like this"
The ship had not yet moved, but the work of winding up the anchor had begun slowly. I will report to Shin-soo and Yoshio after I have made a final confirmation to Yukino, who was on watch on deck on duty.
"I don't mind. Do it."
Your father-in-law is silent. It's just that Shinsu made a word decision in the face of a rugged samurai.
"Reefa!
"All units, get into battle position!
As it is, I call Reefa, who is in charge of the fleet, and everyone moves. I guess it's the Oda family's change that all the sailors' bioroids and robot soldiers on Reefa's instructions, or the Oda family minister, are no longer uncomfortable following as they deserve.
"Report! Check the lights on the forward canoe. But no lights on the rear canoe!
All Oda ministers were slightly confused by the report from the watch above the mast. It seems that the lights have created suspicion that they are not enemies.
Most of the boats have no lights in the boats that go toward the long-distance ships of the Sage Navy in multiple ways or that go around the rear of the Galeon ships.
"Send the signal!
At the instruction of the reefer, this one gives its own signal that when the lamp for the ship is put up, it is turned and illuminated when the light is blocked.
"What signal?
"It's a signal for an urgent identification we're using among our associates."
It was Yoshihui who was preparing for the interception with a bow who questioned the sight. There is also a slight but undeniable possibility that they are allies such as the Ninja Crowd. Therefore, send emergency identification signals from the Ninja and Shadow crowds and wait for a reply.
"You turned the light over there too."
"Enemy."
The unidentified boat tried to emulate this move, but that's not a determined signal. Yoshihui went in to prepare to shoot a bow when he took my reply seriously.
"The aim is rudder."
"I knew it was that way"
Elle naturally assists me next to me. I have an accurate grasp of the enemy's intentions on reports entering from the lookout.
I guess a boat going around in the rear is willing to destroy the rudder and get on the boat. Will everyone in the Sage Navy be all right?
As a result of confirmation on the signal, the ship is ready to move out without concealing it. Wind up the anchor and strain the sail. There is much to consider, such as tidal flow and wind direction.
"Starboard first to third guns, empty guns ready!
All the sailors and the Oda family who move butterflies when Reefa's instructions fly from next to next are working well to keep each other out of the way.
"Empty cannon...... shoot!
It would be an empty cannon to confuse the final warning and the enemy. Reefa ordered the unstoppable canoe to release an empty cannon cutting the lid of the battle.
"Whoa."
"How awesome"
Yoshihui and Fujitaka, who are putting it nearby because it is dangerous, voiced their surprise at the blank guns that suddenly sounded in a quiet dark night and trembled the atmosphere.
"Unknown ship, it won't stop!
"All hands ready for battle! There are plenty of arrowballs. You can take it off. Don't shoot as much as you like!
Mm-hmm. Reefa's words are such that I don't know which is the pirate.
Even so, a boat is hard to aim for. There are waves. Me and Elle both use a spark gun to shoot. People who are good at bows are bows, and some use crossbows.
Is Julia a bow alongside Celebration and Nobunaga? The bow is the best hitting rate and rapidity.
"Shoot!!
The sound of the fire rope gun echoed simultaneously. The multiple boats in front of the Galeon ship start to disperse just what you thought was wrong but there is still no sign of escape.
It's hard to say whether you should be praised for not running away or flattered if you're reckless.
