Chapter 145 Found the traces of the rebels!
The three of them traveled at full speed, chopping their way from the Mulou Teahouse to the northern part of Ta'esha. It must be said that the Tianling Bugxing was really not just there to do nothing. The wanted order was just issued in the morning, and in the afternoon almost all of Mingshen Island knew that the three of them were wanted.
This made the three people's actions quite difficult in the past few days. The difficulty was that Hines' hands were sore.
Warrior: If we attack together, you three may not be able to kill us all!
At this moment, Ying finally understood what it meant to have strength in numbers.
Paimon panted and lay on Ying's shoulder like a sack.
"Are we...there...yet?"
Ying put away the map in her hand and scratched Paimon's head.
"We have already reached Ta'ersha, there is no need to be afraid."
Hines suddenly made a "hush" sound and waved his hand to signal Ying and Paimon to hide. Facing Ying's surprised gaze, Hines pointed to the two warriors under the tree not far ahead.
Ying nodded, drew her sword and was about to greet them, but was quickly stopped by Xines.
"No hurry, no hurry. They haven't discovered us yet. Let's listen to what they are saying first."
The two warriors naturally didn't expect that the wanted criminal they were discussing was right next to them.
"Have you heard? There are three more people on the wanted list, and the higher-ups said the priority is to protect yourself."
"Who wouldn't know about this? One of them doesn't have the Eye of God, yet he can harness elemental power. The other is even more outrageous, actually fighting the general in a back-and-forth battle! Facing wanted criminals like these, we're lucky to be alive."
......
"Xige's deterrent power has been revealed."
"Warrior: This is ridiculous! He's as powerful as the general, and you want us to capture him? You must not want to pay me for firing him!"
"I can't hold it anymore. What's the point of this wanted poster?"
"You have to know that it's not just Hines who's wanted. Ying and Paimon are also wanted. If we can't catch the first two, isn't it enough to catch Paimon?"
......
The conversation between the warriors continued.
"Who says it isn't true? I heard that those people with connections on Narukami Island are almost all dead now."
"In the past, I envied those people who had connections with the higher-ups and could work at the foot of the castle tower. Now it seems that it is still safe here."
"Safe? This is almost the front line. Who knows when we two brothers..."
There was a lot of content in their chat, but it also revealed a lot of information. Hines briefly summarized it.
First of all, the wanted notice for them here is not strong, and they will not try as hard to catch them as they do on Narukami Island. It seems that Tenryo Bugyo's control is limited to Narukami Island.
Secondly, the resistance army has been forced to the northwest of the Wuxiang Blade Space by the Shogunate army, but it is difficult to tell whether this information is true or false.
After listening to Hines' analysis, Ying did not take action immediately.
"Since we're not in danger right now, why don't we find out more? At least we need to find out the specific location of the rebels."
Hines and Paimon had no objection to Ying's decision. After all, they didn't want to rush over only to find that there were no rebels at all, only a group of fully armed warriors.
The three men waited until the two warriors left before standing up and continuing to move forward to find out the news.
They continued to move along the coastline, meeting very few people along the way. Just when Ying was considering whether to change direction, two people finally appeared.
They sat casually on the beach, their clothes were not tattered but definitely ragged.
The three of them found a good place to hide again and eavesdrop on their conversation.
"What a coincidence? You escaped too?"
"Yeah, where are you going?"
Hearing this, Hines and Ying looked at each other.
These two people definitely know a lot of information! *2
Paimon looked up at the sky, so hungry~
When asked where he wanted to go, the man said without thinking,
"I'm planning to go to Himiki Village. It's better than staying on the battlefield. What about you?"
"Don't even mention that I was originally in Nashii Beach, but it was already a mess. The shogunate army and the rebels showed their weapons when they met. I even think they couldn't tell the enemy from the comrades..."
Even Paimon was now alert.
"Nashii Nada? From what they said, the rebels are fighting the shogunate army there?"
Now that the destination was clear, the three of them set off immediately. After all, the refugees they met on the road would not lie.
Thanks to the map given by Ayaka, the three of them were able to accurately find their destination - Nashii Beach - in an unfamiliar place like Inazuma.
"There seem to be people from the resistance army there."
Ying looked at a soldier who was being beaten by two shogunate samurai, and spoke lightly.
"Let's not talk too much and save people first."
Before Hines could finish his words, he had already rushed out. Since they had become enemies, he naturally showed no mercy. He waved the deadly spear in his hand, taking away two lives.
"How is it? Can you still move?"
Hines reached out and pulled up the soldier who was lying on the ground. He covered his chest and coughed twice, adjusting his breathing. He looked at Hines and the other two and said,
"Thank you for your help. I'm Teppei, a member of the resistance army's Goby squad..."
At this moment, Hines looked at the man in front of him with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Ying was still talking to Zheping. She told Zheping about her group's plan to join the resistance army, and Zheping became even more excited.
"Great! Ahem... Lord Goro was complaining a few days ago about being short-staffed these days. This is really a big help."
After saying this, Zheping looked at Xines with some envy, or more precisely, at the Eye of God on his right wrist.
"If I could be as strong as you, I would be able to protect everything around me..."
His eyes were slightly sad. Hines and Ying tacitly did not ask Teppei about the other members of the Goby Team, and Teppei did not express his sadness.
Teppei shook his head.
"I'm going to take you to the resistance camp. Before that, let me tell you about the current situation of the resistance..."
From Teppei, we learned that the current resistance army is about to be pinned to the ground and hammered by the shogunate army. Not only are the number of resistance soldiers less than that of the shogunate army, but even the number of people who possess the Eye of God in the army is very small.
Fortunately, with the advice of Coral Palace Xinhai and the selfless dedication and heroic fighting of Goro and the resistance fighters, they were able to withstand the tremendous pressure from the shogunate army.
Speaking of this, Teppei sighed again.
"If I also had the Eye of God, I could help Lord Coral Palace and Lord Goro share their worries, and I could also protect my comrades on the battlefield..."
Seeing Teppei so sad, Paimon couldn't help but comfort him.
"It doesn't matter. Ying doesn't have the Eye of God either, but she's very powerful. Three or five shogunate warriors were easily defeated by her!"
Hines: Paimon, you're really good at giving examples...
