Capítulo 8: CH8 Taking Over Icewood (1)
BONUS CHAPTER - 2
For The Goal Of 100 Power Stones
------------------
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, a dramatic change made Hoshino Taiga's expression change. Ignoring the Kaguya clan still in the yard, he hurriedly ran out, grabbing a passing guard to question him and the guard exclaimed, "Military! A large, unidentified military force has attacked us! They have firearms!" The guard answered in a panicked manner.
"Military? Firearms?"
Upon hearing the guard's description, Haruka Hoshino's first thought was, 'Has war broken out?' But then, he quickly dismissed the idea.
Regardless of whether war has erupted or not, which country's military could attack Kadan Island without attracting attention from the Land of Water?
"Deploy all the guards! I want to know who dares to attack the Hoshino family!" Hoshino Taiga's eyes gleamed with a chilling light.
As a warrior family on Kadan Island, despite the decline in status due to the emergence of ninjas, the Hoshino family, being a noble family of the Land of Water, had significant prestige. Even with the decline, they boasted a considerable number of warriors, ranking among the top in the entire Land of Water, just below the daimyos.
It was for this reason that Hoshino Taiga dared to openly offer a reward for the head of Shimizu Akihiro in the underground trading market, without worrying too much about the daimyo's reaction.
"Yes, clan head." The guard, realizing the seriousness, prepared to inform the guard unit.
"Wait!" Hoshino Taiga suddenly stopped the departing guard, pondered for a moment, and said, "Just in case, also notify Sanichi and Nakano."
"Yes, Clan Leader!" The guard quickly left.
Watching the guard leave, Hoshino Taiga turned to the four members of the Kaguya clan, nodded apologetically, and then quickly left.
The instant he turned away, his expression instantly turned ice-cold.
In the quiet courtyard, only four members of the Kaguya clan remained.
"Big brother,"
"Let's go and see too."
The leader, Kaguya Keita, listened to the commotion outside and hesitated for a moment before calmly saying.
As a family that provided resources to them, it was necessary for them to show concern if needed.
The others nodded, and they went out together.
Hoshino Taiga, leading the guard unit, had just walked out of the courtyard and arrived in the main hall. Colonel T Bone had already led the marines into the Hoshino residence. The well-trained marines continuously switched teams, handling their firearms with ease. The relentless barrage left the Hoshino warriors inside struggling, unable to mount an effective counterattack, resulting in continuous casualties.
"Are these the warriors here?"
Watching the battered warriors in the barrage, T Bone was somewhat disappointed. These guys' physical abilities were far inferior to even ordinary marines.
"Damn, who are you people?"
Seeing most of his warriors fall in front of him, Hoshino Taiga immediately drew the sword at his waist, his face turning unpleasant.
The attackers were alarming; well-trained and fully equipped with firearms. This was the configuration only daimyo's warriors would have.
"I am from His Highness' Navy, Colonel T Bone, ordered to take over Icewood City."
With a single stroke, T Bone cut a warrior, who attempted a sneak attack, in half. He looked coldly at Hoshino Taiga, and the blood dripping from his sword emitted steam, sending shivers down the spines of the nearby Hoshino warriors.
This wasn't a battle; it was a one-sided massacre.
"His Highness? Damn, is it that brat from the Shimizu family?"
Hearing T Bone's words, Hoshino Taiga's heart tightened. Were these guys sent by the daimyo?
"Since that's the case, then you shall die."
Regardless of the situation, there was no way Hoshino Taiga could peacefully coexist with this new arrival. After saying this, the guard unit immediately bypassed the courtyard's warriors and charged towards the marines.
Even the weakest among the guard unit was an advanced warrior, noticeably stronger than the previous guards.
Especially the captain of the guard unit had already reached the level of a first-class warrior.
As the guard unit joined the battle, the pressure on the family warriors eased a lot. On the marine side, the swift movements of the warriors made it difficult to aim, but the dense barrage continued to suppress them, preventing the warriors from getting closer.
Seeing this, the captain of the guard unit drew his sword, jumped onto a building with a scraping sound, and, in the blink of an eye, reached above the marines.
"Hehe."
The captain of the guard unit chuckled. As long as he broke into their formation, without firearms to stop him, dealing with these guys would be as easy as cutting vegetables. Thinking of this, a cruel gleam flashed in his eyes.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that Colonel T Bone was still standing aside, and a cold light flashed by.
The captain of the guard unit's expression instantly froze, a bloody gap appearing on his neck. Blood sprayed into the air, eyes widened in disbelief, he fell in the cold light without being able to utter a word.
"Thud."
The captain of the guard unit fell to the ground, full of unwillingness. Blood filling his throat. He wanted to speak but couldn't utter a word.
"The captain is dead."
Seeing the guard captain's demise, the guards who had been desperately resisting the barrage suddenly panicked, and in an instant, several warriors fell within the barrage.
"Damn it, Sanichi, Nakano, both of you, kill him for me."
Hoshino Taiga's pupils contracted, muttering a curse, and spoke again in a deep voice.
At the same time, two figures swiftly emerged from both sides of the Marines, rushing towards T Bone.
The two were wandering ninjas, taken in and housed by Hoshino Taiga. Now, they were finally put to use.
