The Sended's

Chapter 23: With One Way or Another

Finally, after a long day on the boat, I saw the land from a distance. Of course, that land is the land of Yamato

With my Accuracy ability, I could see what happened on the coast as planned, they were fighting with the elite Kyouka army back there

That left their campgrounds and beach defenses abandoned

The easiest enemies are those who do not fight back or move, right? We'd better destroy their various preparations on the beach before they are used against us

"Shoot at any time" I ordered

"Well," replied my general on another Destoyer

The sound of cannons of these two ships was heard loudly which of course immediately attracted the attention of the Hojo troops who were originally focused on the elite Kyouka forces back there, to look here

It also begins a war against the Hojo, the ruling clan of Yamato

"Emperor's report, we've checked the weapons they're using on the coast,"

"Oh yeah? What'sthat?"

"It appears that they used several shotguns and mostly used katanas and heavy armor,"

The ka-katana?

"You're kidding me. aren't you?" ask me for surprise

It was because their technology was a hundred years behind when it was like this, even though the Empire had only collapsed a few years ago

And their technology is a hundred years adrift with us? Hows it?

Ah right too. Maybe because of that.

Sakoku's policy not only locked Yamato, but also confiscated all weapons scattered in the community

The same thing was done by Toyotomi Hideyoshi when he conquered Japan

At that time the people had their own katana so that when their clan head fought against other clans, they could take part in it

But Hideyoshi thought that it would trigger a rebellion, so he confiscated the whole sword so that the rebellion could be minimized

The sound of drums waking me from my previous thoughts, the entire ship was being concentrated forward to land

If the enemy only has such technology, then we have many advantages, one of which is distance

Come to think of it, the role of the elite Kyouka army was not carried out because of it

You see, I'm tasked with destroying enemy weapons that can mess up a fleet. But where was there such a weapon a hundred years ago?

Although not so important, the troops still fight on the beach messing with the enemy. And as planned, I'll have them step down now

"Send a signal of retreat to the troops on the shore,"

"Okay, Emperor!"

The signal sent was a light signal from the spotlights on my ship

Soon the paralysers pulled themselves back into the forest to avoid firing our ships

"What are they doing?" say

Instead of taking cover or retreating, Hojo's forces instead marched on the coast to attack our ships that were about to land because weapons like their throwers had been destroyed

"They marched on the shore to attack our troops when they landed on the shore, Emperor," replied one of my generals

That was a rhetorical battle....

Geez.. This war is over if this is the way.I better sleep again, free to see an unbalanced battle like this.

《Ryuu POV End》

After this, Ryuu actually went to his room and slept during the battle

During that time Kyouka and his troops fled the beach while being chased by some Hojo troops, but because the Hojo equipment was too heavy so Kyouka and his troops could disappear easily

The pursuing Hojo's forces do not know that their defenses on the coast have been destroyed along with thousands of their comrades, Ryuu's forces have landed entirely

"Hwahh. good morning..," Ryuu said to himself.

Even though he said good morning, it was already night and his troops were resting on the beach

Ryuu went out of the cabin on his ship and walked around the beach accompanied by several servants and soldiers

"How was that?" ryuu asked a group of soldiers gathered among the campfire

They immediately stood up and bowed as they spoke to Ryuu

"There was an easy battle, Emperor" replied one of them

"Yes, right? Yes, enjoy your time" Ryuu left them.

The dark beach was lit by dozens of bonfires that lit up at night

As Ryuu was walking around, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from within the forest. They are the army of the slaughterers who just returned from a chase with Hojo's troops

Amongst them was of course Kyouka who looked very exhausted, and Ryuu instead asked what he already knew, of course this made Kyouka annoyed

"Kyouka? Where have you been? You seem to be tired, huh...?"

"Ryuu? If you make this plan, I'm so tired from running all day, anyway I just want to sleep tonight,"

Ryuu smiled at Kyouka and the army of disoriented people left him

He looked up at the sky, looked at the moon and his hands slowly lifted as if he wanted to grasp the moon

"Just a little more until the first step is complete" he said slowly

Since there was nothing Ryuu could do, he headed to his room, laid his body onto the bed, then he closed his eyes. Yeah, he's sleeping again....

The next morning, the sound of a soldier's commotion woke Ryuu from sleep

"What's this?" ask Ryuu

"Emperor, there are several large ships visible from the North, the General has ordered all existing ships to block their way" he said

one of Ryuu's servants

"Large ship?"

Sure enough there were soldiers being intercepted by Ryuu's ships, and they had more advanced weaponry than Yamato's

Of course Ryuu was confused, because it was impossible for Hojo to have such steel ships

They may have come from another nation

Ryuu picks up the radio and communicates with his men so he can get on board the blockading ship

Ryuu is aware that there should be no conflict with this foreign fleet, at least for now. Yamato's fleet was still too far away with them

Fleet admiral Yamato immediately sent a lifeboat to pick up Ryuu and they together headed for the Destroyer where General Ryuu was present

"Admiral, report the situation," Ryuu said

"Well, there are 12 ships that we believe are as big as our ship, and three ships that are four times the size of any ship that we have" the General replied

Although Ryuu has a number, they have three Destroyer-class ships that may be only a few years under Ryuu's old Germanica Destroyer, which belonged to Archen

The rest were light cargo ships, the weapons they had were only machine guns

"Connect the communication channels with theirs" Ryuu said

"Okay, the Emperor, it's connected,"

"This is Tadashii Ryuu, Emperor of the Yamato Empire, with whom am I talking?"

For a few seconds they did not answer which made Ryuu repeat his sentence

When repeated for the second, they finally answered

"Here the Admiral of the Mughal Empire fleet, we are on a cargo escort mission to return to the kingdom,"

The Mughal Empire was located deep in the Southwest through several smaller kingdoms between the Empire and the Mughals

They are also a strong nation because their economy is the best after Francia. That means they are better than most countries in the Western continent

The reason for that was because this Kingdom was located between the Main Continent and the Eastern Continent, so they had the technology of the West and the resources of the East

Fighting them is not easy, even for Ryuu

"I understand, sorry that we mistakenly thought that you were Hojo's troops, we will leave immediately, hopefully the Empire in the future can negotiate with the Mughal Kingdom" Ryuu said

"I thank you for your decision, Emperor Yamato, I will definitely tell the King" replied the Mughal admiral

Ryuu's words were true, they would let this convoy pass. Although Ryuu desperately wanted to obtain that Destroyer, yet this was not the right time

Yamato's forces for now can only see the departure of the Mughal ships, however, Ryuu finally finds out where Yamato's weapons come from in the future

"Send a messenger to their Kingdom, we will order a lot of items from them for now,"

If producing alone still takes a lot of time, then buying is not a bad thing for a while

With this, the complete plan of world conquest belonged to Ryuu

He would start his own production once these ordered goods came, finally he got the technology from the West that he had long wanted to get

During this time Ryuu constantly burdened because of Yamato warrior equipment that looks ancient when compared to Germanica

The Yamato warrior clothes alone still had light armor in the form of pieces of wood formed in such a way as to be like bulletproof armor, it was asigaru armor

While Germanica soldiers use ordinary fabrics that make it easier for them to move

In this modern war, protectors like Yamato were judged to be less effective by war experts

It may have been effective in the past, but nowadays speed is paramount

Especially with the concept of conscription, many people with low physical abilities are unable to support the weight of this protector, plus their other equipment

Germanica warrior clothing was made by playing colors as camouflage

Instead of protecting yourself using protective clothing, wouldn't it be better not to look at all? That way I don't get any shots at all

Germanica chose the gray color as their warrior outfit, this color blends well with nature

While the Yamato warriors wore red base clothing and black armor, this was especially striking in the forest or on any terrain

"When did we reach that level huh....?"ryuu muttered inside his cabin

But it was another matter of the day, now Ryuu must focus on facing Hojo who should be able to be dealt with quickly even with the quality now

He gathered the entire top-tier army leader and began to explain his plan

"So the plan is like this..."

Yamato's forces had superior weapons and range, but Hojo's forces benefited greatly from close combat with their numbers

Therefore, Ryuu must bring Hojo's troops into the open space and finish them off as soon as possible so that the remaining troops do not rejoin

If it fails, then the Hojo troops will know the advantages and disadvantages of Yamato troops, then they will begin guerrilla tactics that will certainly take a lot of casualties

"Therefore, I'll explain how to lure them,"

Not far from the beach, there is a wide valley flanked by two hills that are difficult to pass

Hojo's forces do not yet know what Yamato's army is like, therefore, surely they will not send their entire army to destroy Ryuu

Then Ryuu must silence every troop that Hojo sends, or worse is to misinform the enemy.

"Alright, let's start this plan,"
