Chapter 1296 Prelude to Resurrection
"Didn't the Swollen Daughter's men take away or destroy all these ships?"
Facing the curious Liu Xing, Mai Yuqiang said with a smile: "That's right, the men of the Swollen Daughter seemed to have suddenly disappeared overnight. There was no trace of them on the other side of the dock, and everything in the dock It has been preserved intact, but because the pier has almost no contact with ordinary people outside, this matter has been circulated within the Morio Town Preservation Association."
"Then now send people over to take control of those ships, casually check the integrity of the ships, whether there is oil and so on, and ensure that we can leave as soon as we say so."
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Dior stood up voluntarily, "Leave it to me to take charge of this matter. I haven't done anything here these days. I just ate and slept all day... Of course I have to say To be honest, a bad old man like me can’t do anything big anymore, so a job like this that only requires walking around is the best fit for me.”
Since Dior said so, Liu Xing and others naturally didn't say much, so they sent Nobi Nobita and many people to follow Dior to the dock of Duwang Town.
After Dior left, Liu Xing and others suddenly fell into silence, because everyone knew that the only thing they could do now was to wait for news from the city.
As a result, the news came quickly.
Shimazu Nakano sent a text message to Liu Xing. The text message seemed to be sent in bulk, because the content was "The Oda family has completely lost contact"!
The "lost contact" here does not only refer to those members of the Oda family in the city, but also refers to all the members of the Oda family who have lost contact, including the liaison personnel arranged by the Oda family at the Osaka headquarters, and the liaison personnel of the Oda family. Old house.
"What's going on? After the blackout started, the members of the Oda family in Osaka gradually disappeared from the sight of others. Then, by calling the surveillance cameras along the way, it was found that these people left through various means. Osaka, but they were everywhere in the direction they left, so it is not yet certain where these people went; then Shimazu Nakano sent people to the Oda family's old house to inquire about the situation, and found that the place had long been empty. "
Liu Xing put down his mobile phone and frowned and said: "Did everyone in the Oda family come to Nagoya? After all, there were rumors that the Oda family wanted to return to Nagoya, because Nagoya used to be the place of Longxing of the Oda family, but I think this matter is not simple."
"Liu Xing, do you think the sudden disappearance of the Oda family may be related to the headquarters of the Deep Diving Society?"
Zhang Jingxu said sharply: "According to our previous speculation, the Deep Diving Society headquarters, as a traitor, is indeed likely to take advantage of both sides. Therefore, the Deep Diving Society headquarters may choose to cooperate with the Oda family, but the Oda family will most likely choose Agree, because the conditions offered by the Deep Diving Society headquarters are really irresistible. First of all, the condition given by the Deep Diving Society headquarters is that I can operate as an undercover agent in a public faction and share information with the Oda family unconditionally."
"Of course, the one that makes the Oda family's heart beat the most is the Nagoya Castle Tower, because in the eyes of the Oda family, this is their real ancestral home, but the most important thing is the resurrection circle under the ancestral home, which can be used for their... The ancestor who was burned to charcoal - Oda Nobunaga; but then again, I think Oda Nobunaga is in a very bad state now. Even if he is resurrected, he can only survive for a while, and then he will be wiped out, so Why are the Oda family so anxious to resurrect Oda Nobunaga at this time?"
"Because now is a critical moment in the Kōwu War, the Oda family wants to let their ancestors stand up and help the family gain a bright future." Watanabe Ryusei shrugged and said: "To put it harshly, at Honnoji Temple After the changes, the Oda family has gradually become a third-rate family. If Oda Nobunaga's name was not worth some money, the Oda family might have disappeared from everyone long ago. Therefore, although the Oda family at this time is They are one of the top ten forces of the Wu family, but they will definitely not be in the top ten when the final calculation comes."
"Yes, if the Oda family does not take this opportunity to take a gamble, then no matter which side wins the battle, the Oda family will enter an inevitable period of decline. By then, it may not take a hundred years, and the Oda family will have to fight with The current Takeda family also only has a resounding name, but does not have the strength to match it, so now is the time for Oda Nobunaga to step forward and use his remaining energy."
When Yin En said this, he shook his head and said: "But judging from the current situation, the headquarters of the Deep Diving Association seems to want to sell a watermelon to two people. I don't know if the Oda family and the Takeda family will fight in advance. , but this is quite consistent with historical facts. Back then, Takeda Shingen could be said to be Oda Nobunaga’s biggest opponent.”
"Enemies are extremely jealous when they see each other." Liu Xing said with a smile: "But the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman benefits. When the time comes, the headquarters of the Deep Diving Association will have the opportunity to eat these two pieces of fat at once. ; but we cannot rule out that Mikageichi and Konohana Kaiyeji will appear in this matter now. If they are also involved in this matter, then this matter will be more interesting."
"Then this is a very strange alliance. Two famous families from the island country, a secret church from the universe country, as well as an ancient god and a messenger suspected of Nyarlathotep. I don't know that these guys have gathered together. What is the purpose of being together, but I can be sure that their goal is definitely not small."
Ding Kun's words made Liu Xing and others nod.
But this is still just speculation.
After chatting casually for a while, Liu Xing and others temporarily separated to do their own things on the farm, or in other words, they each thought of ways to pass the time, because everyone's attention was focused on the city, but there was no one in the city. No news came out at all.
In this way, it soon became dark, and the power supply in Nagoya had not been restored. Because the maintenance personnel sent by Tanegashima Teruhi were attacked, Shimazu Nakano could only find ways to mobilize some people from around. Acting as a guard ensures the smooth progress of the repair work; however, because the damage in some places is relatively serious, some parts can only be replaced, but it is not easy to collect these ingredients and send them to the substation or near the substation box.
Therefore, according to Tanegashima Teruichi's speculation, the power supply in Furuya Castle will not be restored until at least three hours later, and this is on the premise that the public faction will not cause further damage.
As for the members of the Wu family faction in the city, they made the same choice as Liu Xing and others thought, that is, to directly take the initiative to take a gamble. Now they have achieved some good results, unplugging several early The public faction stronghold was discovered.
However, this is not good news for Liu Xing and others, because these people's counterattack was so smooth, as if the public faction had not made any preparations at all.
Therefore, Liu Xing and others increasingly felt that their previous speculations were correct, so Liu Xing hurriedly integrated the previous speculations and sent them to Shimazu Nakano, but Shimazu Nakano did not respond immediately. News, but Liu Xing also expressed his understanding of this, because from Shimadzu Nakano's point of view, this speculation is indeed quite convincing, but because this speculation is almost entirely based on subjective inference. . . In other words, there is no substantial evidence.
As the nominal leader of the samurai faction, Shimazu Nakano dare not publicize this speculation, because if this goes wrong, then Shimazu Nakano will bear unshirkable responsibility. After all, other forces will not let it go. This is a good opportunity.
However, although Shimazu Nakano cannot speak clearly, he can still make insinuations against other forces. Therefore, Liu Xing knows that as long as nothing unexpected happens, the members of the samurai faction in the city will have a certain psychological advantage, and then they will lose their original home field. Advantages turn into victories.
But this does not have a big impact on the headquarters of the Diving Club, because Liu Xing knows that even if Shimazu Nakano intends to recruit more people to go to Nagoya Castle, he is also worried about the Deep Diving Club, which has been prepared for a long time. The headquarters will wait and wait for a move. The more people there will be, the greater the losses will be.
"Well, the situation is completely out of control now. This feeling is really unpleasant."
Yin En, who was sitting next to Liu Xing and drinking tea, was a little depressed, "But now that it's over, we can't do anything anymore, so I think we might as well just pack up and get ready to leave, because no matter what the outcome of this war is, , there is no need for us to continue to be there.”
"Perhaps, but if we leave now, it is very likely that others will regard us as deserting, and then we will be criticized in all kinds of ways."
Liu Xing shrugged, looked at the rising moon in the sky and said, "So we can only choose to wait and see and wait for further changes in the situation."
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, the moon in the sky suddenly changed. The originally white full moon suddenly cast a gauze-like shadow. . . To use an analogy that may be a little strange, that is, the original big white legs are put on a pair of black silk.
Obviously, this is definitely not a natural phenomenon.
After Liu Xing told Yin En what he had discovered, Yin En frowned, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I think this should be the headquarters of the Deep Diving Society starting to take action. Maybe the ongoing resurrection ceremony is Can’t bask in the moonlight.”
At this moment, Zhang Jingxu, who was not far away, also saw this scene, and his expression became strange. However, Zhang Jingxu quickly returned to normal and did not say anything to Lu Tianya next to him.
After a while, Liu Xing received another message from Shimazu Nakano, and the content of the message was that there were some strange noises in the ruins of Nagoya Castle, and at the same time, there were also some unknown people claiming to be official personnel. All approaches to Nagoya Castle are blocked.
Obviously, the Deep Diving Society headquarters has begun to take action, but it is not known whether the people standing in the ruins besides the Deep Diving Society headquarters are members of the Takeda family or the Oda family. . . Maybe both.
However, due to lack of manpower, Shimazu Nakano was unable to send people to conduct an in-depth investigation. He could only monitor the surroundings, hoping to get some useful clues, at least to know who resurrected from the Nagoya Castle Tower.
Although Liu Xing wanted to ask Shimazu Nakano if he was interested in resurrecting his ancestors, Liu Xing knew that asking this was tantamount to asking for trouble. . . But Liu Xing really wants to know whether the Shimadzu family will join this "arms race".
As we all know, the most powerful trump card of the major families in the island country is their ancestors. Therefore, if the Oda family or the Takeda family summon their ancestors at this time, their family strength will be significantly improved, so whether it is Enemies and competitors all need to hand over their ancestors to help, otherwise they will be inferior when facing the Oda family or the Takeda family.
This matter has become a little more subtle.
First of all, one thing must be determined, that is, no matter who wins or loses in the public-military battle, the big families in the island country will definitely be more affected than those secret churches, because this is a big reshuffle for those big families, and there will definitely be Many families will be unable to recover, even if they are still very proud now.
Therefore, if the big family wants to compete in the battle between public and military forces, it is to put it bluntly, it is asking for death. Therefore, they must come up with more trump cards than the secret church of the same level. . . Of course, it is impossible for these big families to take out all their trump cards at once, because the trump cards can only exert their greatest effect when they are not revealed, just like the nuclear weapons that stay on the launcher. The most intimidating one.
Therefore, if there is a chance to win without calling his ancestors to help out, Liu Xing feels that no big family will come to disturb his ancestors' clear dreams. After all, there will definitely be more after the Gongwu War. In a similar fight, wouldn't it be possible to win again by calling out one's ancestors?
A win-win means that one person wins twice.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing felt that even if the Shimadzu family chose to ask their ancestors for help, they would only call one to support the scene; but there might not be any, because Kagoshima was already controlled by Shimazu Hiromichi at this time. Therefore, if Shimazu Nakano wants to ask his ancestors for help, he must obtain Shimazu Hiromichi's consent.
"By the way, what abilities will Oda Nobunaga or Takeda Shingen have after they are resurrected?"
Yin En's question stumped Liu Xing, because Liu Xing didn't know what Oda Nobunaga or Takeda Shingen were after resurrection.
Zombies?
Spirit?
Or the legendary necromancer?
Or is it just a summoned object?
