Chapter 337 Change, the Will of the Kingdom

'Click, click, click.'

The girl left,

All that is left is the sound of the Gu insects chewing contentedly.

This feeling of pleasure of accumulating all the delicious food together and then feasting on it is very different for each species.

Nishitani Daimyo is still sitting on the throne,

However, compared to before, there was no trace of a monarch's posture on his face, and his formerly straight back completely collapsed into the throne as if it had lost all its strength.

According to his assumption, no matter how bad the situation is, no matter how helpless he is, he can at least have an equal dialogue with that person in the name of a symbolic monarch and as a king.

However, in the end, I didn't even see that person's face.

The person who came was just one of the other party's subordinates.

[From now on, we will operate in this country as the ‘Thunder Light Group’. 】

【I hope you will take care of yourself.】

The simple words left by the girl were like an indelible iron mark, engraved fiercely and deeply on his soul.

He suppressed all the words and rhetoric he had prepared.

She says, you listen,

That's it, no other unnecessary options.

Everyone in the world believes that the Kingdom is superior to the Ninja Village.

But in fact,

In the face of absolute power, royal power is not worth mentioning at all!

Especially when the other party doesn't want to talk to you, doesn't want to have a dialogue with you, and doesn't want to have any communication with you.

There is only one thing you can do: silently grit your teeth and bear it all.

At that moment, Nishitani Hiroaki once again clearly understood this.

And there is one thing he is sure of,

If he had not sent doctors working for the Daming Mansion to help three days ago based on his neutral will, then his final fate would probably be no different from those of the other half of the officials who had also become fodder for poisonous insects.

After all, what that person wants is just a string puppet that can speak and write.

That's all.

【well.】

Nishitani Hiroaki let out a long sigh in his heart.

If I could predict the current outcome earlier, and not have any shallow hope, or hope that Konoha Hidden Village would end up doing something, things probably wouldn't have fallen to this point, right?

However, there is no going back.

"Let's all disperse."

I do not know how long it has been,

I only knew that the bones piled up in the main hall were devoured by Gu insects in an instant, and I felt that the tepid sunlight fell into the silent inner hall again. As a daimyo, he could only speak with a bitter and tired voice.

Break the silence.

These words were like the early sun in the cold winter, causing the dead silence of the inner palace to begin to break the ice.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The remaining dozens of officials looked at each other and responded piecemeal.

It's just that their voices were weak and trembling, and the sound of dozens of people falling was not as clear and loud as the voice of Nishitani Daimyo. It was obvious that they had not woken up from the nightmare just now.

But looking at the inner hall where there is not even a scrap of flesh or bones left,

If it weren't for the strong smell of blood that lingers in the air, and if it weren't for the fact that the magnificent palace doors in the past were just hanging on the door frames in pieces, they would have really thought that this was just an extremely realistic illusion, a scene that had faded away.

nightmare.

"I'll take my leave."

Weak voices all followed, and the remaining officials turned around and left as instructed.

But just as they were halfway through the journey, still a few feet away from the palace entrance, their king's warning quietly sounded in their ears:

"Hirohito Furui and the gang members he recruited deserved their current fate."

"During his reign, he did not think about how to stabilize the country, but he was bent on colluding with external forces for personal gain, allowing rogue bandits to ravage the kingdom. These things, these facts, must have been heard by everyone."

"Now that these rebellious ministers and traitors have returned to dust, the past has become a thing of the past."

"From now on, the Lightning Regiment will be the ninja force that takes over the country of Yu."

"I hope you can clearly understand this, don't do anything that violates your responsibilities, think about the consequences of your words and deeds, and think about whether they will affect other innocent companions."

After a slight pause, Nishitani Hiroaki continued to add:

"At least from the current point of view, those ninjas have not done anything to harm the residents, nor have they asked for or advanced any payment."

"On the contrary, all these external forces and Xiaoxiao that are difficult to drive away and cure have been eliminated."

Such superficial maintenance and recognition,

It was the king who compromised.

Whether this compromise was due to the strength shown by that person, he had to choose to surrender; or it was a decision made because the purge action launched by the other party was really in line with the overall interests of Tang Country.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Now, the Lei Guang Tuan has become an officially recognized mercenary force in the Kingdom of Tang, which is Wang Luo's will.

However, the two shallow reasons mixed in are indeed facts.

Over the years, everyone has seen the little actions of Hirohito Furui and his gang members.

But there is no one and no one to argue or stop anything.

Even Yamada Seiki, who has had some verbal confrontations with him in recent days, only chose to confront each other and implicitly take sides because he saw another possibility after the turmoil in Uchiha Ara.

In the past, he would just turn a blind eye and close his eyes to guard his one-third of an acre of land.

At the same time, the Lei Guang Tuan showed that they did not ask for anything, did not force anything, and only made a declaration to take over the kingdom, which also made the remaining dignitaries feel more at ease.

At least their lives are safe, and their lives in the short term are unlikely to be worse than before, and may even develop in a good direction.

【However, the Thunder Light Group.】

【Thunder Light Group!】

After he and his colleagues agreed in unison.

Yamada Joshi seemed to have remembered something and suddenly replied:

"Your Majesty, I seem to have heard of the name Thunder Light Group. It seems to be an organization of righteous thieves that once circulated in the Bamboo Village area, but there has been no news about it for several years."

"I wonder if the ninja who followed him are the same group from the past."

Due to the terrifying situation just now, except for the Nishitani Daimyo, who was born with pride and kingly power, everyone else was emotionally dominated by the endless sea of ​​insects and the scarlet blood dragon, and did not care at all what the girl said.

What, what does that code name represent?

It was only afterward, when their minds had calmed down a little, that they gradually had an impression.

"If, if they are really the righteous thieves of the past, if those people can still maintain their old ways."

"Then, Your Majesty,"

"The Kingdom of Tang may be able to usher in a turning point in revival and even be reborn!"

Speaking of this, Yamada Seiki's voice had more emotion, and his face also gained some color.

After all, so far, all those the other party has eliminated are ministers with gray resumes, and those purged are also people from external forces. It has not affected at all the ministers who still have some conscience and have not chosen to join in the general environment and the ordinary residents living here!

Hearing this, the remaining dozens of powerful officials couldn't help but look at Yamada Seishi, who was a little excited.

In the brief silence, they all subconsciously began to seriously consider such words and the current situation, and a different look of distinction and fear gradually appeared on their faces.

these years,

They have forgotten when they started to choose to lie down and stay out of things;

He also forgot the solemn oath he had made to his own king and the people of the city.

All that can be done is not to join the ranks of those completely corrupt and rebellious ministers.

And looking back on the past,

The beginning of all this chaos probably started from the day when Tangyin Village was defeated and massacred, and chose to hide from the world and no longer cooperate to protect this land.

With no power, no independent Ninja Village, and rich resources and geographical location, the country of Yu, even if it claims to have forgotten war and claims to be peaceful, how can it survive in this troubled world with undercurrents?

However now,
To be continued...
