Chapter 179 Drama and Privilege
As Nakamura Atsuta and his men ran around spreading the word, soon the nobles who had already fled the city stopped their carriages.
"A celestial witch? Oh... that's interesting."
"Let the warriors go back and see that witch. If she's pretty, hehe~~"
Many carriages were parked in the wilderness, and a group of warriors who were used as guards rushed back into the city.
Inner City 1-
Watching the giants freely express themselves, Tianyue took out a snail.
"Bazaar, what should we do next?"
Bazel's voice came from the snail.
"This incident will definitely cause casualties, but I guess most of them were caused by noble warriors. The place where Dorry and Brogy caused trouble was in the sparsely populated inner city." "Ashi, you don't need to do anything next. Fukurokuju's subordinates will play the roles of commoners."
"You just need to go along with what they say, arrest those nobles in the name of the priestess, and kill them immediately on the grounds of causing chaos in Oden Castle."
"Then gather all the wealth of the nobles and distribute it all to the disaster-stricken commoners in the name of the Heavenly Moon Priestess."
"In a few days, Orochi's second order will appear at Oden Castle."
"The content will likely be a reward bestowed upon you in the name of a general. At that time, you will be able to initially secure your position as the daimyo of Kyuri."
"There are two things you need to pay attention to while waiting."
The first is that the returning nobles will definitely cause trouble or invite them to banquets under various pretexts; ignore them. Once the disaster subsides, immediately send Ashura Doji and Loki to take advantage of the chaos and capture all the nobles of Oden Castle.
"The second is to take this opportunity to establish your authority. At this time, you do not yet have a great name or title, but only the identity of a legendary priestess."
"This identity is fictitious; the only way to solidify your identity as a priestess is to demonstrate strength."
"Loki, you've been wronged these past few days. When you go out, try to ride in Loki's Nue form."
"Only on the day the appointment order is issued will you publicly cast a spell to transform the shikigami Nue into human form, thus naturally making Loki and the other two the renowned guardian shikigami of Kuri."
The snail's sound paused briefly.
"Once you become a daimyo, the first thing you must do, and remember that, is to prioritize this matter."
"Demolish the walls of the inner and outer city, because those low walls symbolize class. Only by demolishing them and building a road from the daimyo's residence directly to the outside of the city can you further win the hearts of the people."
"Those commoners are just ignorant, not brainless. They will think of you as their lord, not a noble lord."
"The next thing is to capture all the noble warriors who have killed innocent people."
"After the nobles are captured, their warriors will surely scatter and flee. Let Ashura Doji lead the team to capture the fleeing warriors."
"At this point, you have already begun to establish your authority. As soon as the first noble warrior is wanted and captured, the common people will flock to you and actively pour into your service."
"Then execute them in public to further solidify your authority and position among the nine people."
"After that, you read out the edict banning swords at Oden Castle in the prescribed manner, for swords are the root of chaos."
"There will definitely be chaos at this time, but because of your previous actions of eliminating nobles and demonstrating your power, they will at most be suspicious rather than revolt."
You can take this opportunity to establish a unique armed police organization and publicize it to the outside world - "
"This organization is not only for protecting the daimyo, but also for protecting all the people from enemy invasion."
"The first thing to do after this organization is established is to clear out all the bandits near Oden Castle and Peach Blossom Farm."
"Arrest them, and then publicly execute them at Oden Castle."
"At this time, people—"
"Wait, wait, wait, Bazel!"
Tianyue rubbed his temples.
"You've been talking too much. It's giving me a headache. Let me finish what I need to do these next few days."
I'll contact you again if there are any problems later.
A soft laugh came from Tianluo's mouth: "Alright, then I'll leave it to you now."
The three giants fought all night.
The entire inner city was utterly destroyed, and the returning nobles dared not speak out against it.
But there are also those who are bold and driven by desire.
"Yohoho~~"
"I never imagined the legend of the shrine maiden was true."
A young man dressed in noble attire, playing with a fan, walked in, escorted by warriors.
"I am Koi Ryo, a nobleman from Oden Castle. I wonder if I have the honor of inviting Your Highness the Shrine Maiden to join me—"
"roll."
Ashura Doji, his face covered in blood, walked over.
"Lady Amatsuki is a priestess, and also a noble family with a thousand-year history in Wano Country."
"You worthless scum dare to speak to Lord Tianyue?"
Xiao Jingliang squinted, covering his mouth with his fan: "Oh~ so you're the bandit leader from Tou Shan. When did you scoundrels become allowed to enter the city openly?"
"What are you waiting for? Does capturing bandits really require the priestess to do it herself?"
Just as the samurai group following Koi Ryo was about to make their move, Tenzuki Toki let out a soft shout.
"bundle!"
The eyes of the commoners and nobles who were watching from all sides lit up.
All that could be seen was that the shikigami named Raitamaru spewed out a massive amount of flames, obscuring the view.
The heartbreaking cries echoed through the night sky.
"spirit!"
Another soft shout.
Many onlookers dared not breathe heavily at that moment.
They watched the scene with bated breath.
"What is the priestess doing? Is she trying to subdue those two monsters?"
"How would I know? I've never heard of any special abilities the shrine maiden possesses!"
The fiery tornado quickly transformed into an inverted bowl.
"Gentlemen,"
Tianyue lightly leaped several times to reach the high point of the ruins.
"It will take me some time to subdue the monster. Please return to your homes and wait during this time."
"As long as my Tengetsu clan still exists, we will never allow monsters and evil to attack Oden Castle again."
The commoners whispered amongst themselves as they left, while the nobles lingered nearby, watching.
But they wisely refrained from speaking.
Unlike the impulsive and young Jing Liang, they were established aristocrats with deeper seniority and greater wealth.
The situation is still unclear, and rushing in will only leave a worse impression.
"Let's find a place to rest nearby first."
Among the stranded crowd, an elderly man with gray hair and the most bodyguards suddenly turned and left.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to nod and smile at the moon.
"I admire the magic of the priestess. Once this matter is over, I will visit again to thank you for your contributions to Oden Castle."
"Let's go."
Tian Yue did not reply, but simply watched the nobles leave with a cold eye.
Before long, screams of alarm from women and screams of agony from nearby houses could be heard.
"A leopard can't change its spots."
Enel, who was carrying a large rock on his back, pouted.
"Sister, Bazelgo is right, these nobles should be dealt with—"
"Quiet, Enel."
Enel immediately shut up, while Amaterasu looked up at the sky.
Behind those dark clouds, a pair of terrifying, bloodshot eyes, the size of lanterns, were watching everything that was happening below.
They forcibly broke into a private residence and abducted a woman.
Anyone who resisted was immediately killed by the samurai.
"This is what my brother meant by human nature."
Loki's muttering voice was filled with undisguised rage and murderous intent.
"I don't quite understand. We specifically chose a deserted place to land and fight, so why was there still bloodshed after it was all over?"
"Heh heh heh, so this is what humans are like, Loki!"
Donley's eerie laughter came from the Pteranodon's mouth.
The three of them used the flames to fly into the air and hide behind the dark clouds.
As for the upside-down fire bowl, it was just a smokescreen to buy time.
"Human nature is something far more terrifying than Devil Fruits. When we two were giant pirates, we encountered many things far worse than this."
"Many people would stab their friends in the heart from behind for a few tens of thousands of Berries."
"But there are also humans who choose to fight against our Giant Warrior Pirates alone so that their companions can survive, earning the respect of even us giants."
"But such humans are extremely rare, just like how Harald only appears once every few hundred years among the giants."
"You think this is the end of it?"
Donley's words caught Loki's attention in his beast form.
"Just you wait, Loki. The nightmare for them is just beginning in the next few days."
"We've destroyed so many buildings, the nobles won't be willing to foot the bill."
"What they are best at is using their privileges to exploit the spineless and weak."
"You'll witness the evil in sex firsthand, hehehe~~"
