Chapter 232 The Shogunate Army is dispatched! (Part 2)
"I see..." Matsudaira Sadanobu said softly, "Is this the cannibal?"
At this moment, Matsudaira Sadanobu, Inamori, Hani Sogen, and Kamiyama were standing in a corner of the military camp, escorted by more than a dozen soldiers.
In this remote corner, there are 7 wooden cages.
Matsudaira Sadanobu was standing several blocks away from these seven wooden cages, looking at them from a distance.
To be more precise, he was looking at the 7 cannibals trapped in these 7 wooden cages.
After these seven cannibal ghosts saw the living people such as Matsudaira Sadanobu, they all looked directly at Matsudaira Sadanobu and others, scratching at the wooden cage with their fingers, trying to break free from the shackles of the wooden cage.
It's a pity that the wooden cages that trapped them were very strong. No matter how much they scratched, they couldn't get even the slightest bit of damage to these wooden cages.
"These seven people are the cannibals captured when researchers were sent to Butterfly Island last time to study cannibals."
On the side, Inamori introduced to Matsudaira Sadanobu.
"One of them was one of the soldiers responsible for protecting the researchers at the time, and unfortunately turned into a cannibal on the island."
Matsudaira Sadanobu nodded slightly in response.
"Inamori, let me see the resurrection of the cannibals."
"yes!"
After receiving this order from Matsudaira Sadanobu, Inamori waved to a soldier holding a bow and arrow next to him.
"Give me the bow and arrow [Biquge www.baquku.com]."
Taking the bow and arrow handed over by the soldier, Daomori took a deep breath and stretched the hard bow in his hand for a full moon.
Inamori didn't take much aim, he almost just raised his bow and shot.
The arrow, freed from the restraints of Inamori's fingers and bowstring, cut the air with great power, shot straight towards the head of the ogre in one of the wooden cages, and then accurately hit the head of the cannibal.
An ogre's head.
Then, in full view of everyone, red strands of flesh emerged from the wound on the cannibal's head, pushing out the arrow, and then quickly repaired the wound.
Even Matsudaira Sadanobu, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of grand scenes, still had a look of surprise and horror on his face after witnessing the resurrection process of the cannibal with his own eyes - although Matsudaira Sadanobu quickly regained his composure.
"It's really amazing..." Matsudaira Sadanobu's tone was very calm, making it difficult to understand his current mood, "Hanai, do you think this 'Ogre Rebellion' is caused by the plague?"
"Impossible..." Hanjing, who had also seen the resurrection process of the cannibal ghost for the first time just now, still had a bit of shock on his face, "I think - this is beyond the scope of medicine... This
There cannot be a disease in the world that can make people immortal..."
"But - please don't worry, Mr. Lao Zhong." Banjing's tone gradually became firmer, "I will use all my lifelong learning to find out the reasons for the occurrence of cannibals and the methods to kill them..."
"No need." Before Hanjing finished speaking, Matsudaira Sadanobu waved his hand, "I have decided...there is no need to do any more research on cannibals. Let's stop the research on cannibals."
As soon as Matsudaira Sadanobu said this, Inamori, Kamizan, and Hani, who were standing next to him, all looked confused. For a moment, they didn't understand what Matsudaira Sadanobu just said.
Among them, the one who is most puzzling is Hanjing.
He was called here from all the way, and his mission was to study cannibals.
Now that he finally arrived here, Matsudaira Sadanobu told him that he didn't need to study anymore.
Matsudaira Sadanobu naturally knew that what he just said was too sudden for others, so he clasped his hands behind his back and explained softly:
"On the way from Edo to this place, I have been thinking whether it is necessary to spend so much energy and money on studying the causes and methods of killing cannibals."
"Studying the causes of cannibals and methods of killing them is just to prevent the 'cannibal chaos' from spreading across the country."
"Then - if it's just for this purpose, then we don't need to go to such trouble."
"Currently, only Butterfly Island has cannibals, and only the islanders on Butterfly Island or people who have lived on Butterfly Island for a period of time will turn into cannibals. In this way, the cannibals will
We can only achieve the same goal by staying in a corner of Butterfly Island and not allowing any cannibals or people who may become cannibals to leave Butterfly Island. At the same time, we also prevent people from staying on Butterfly Island for a long time."
"So I decided - instead of spending countless manpower and money on researching cannibals, it is better to be simple and crude and directly remove all cannibals and all those who can become cannibals from leaving Butterfly Island.
.Let the 'Ogre Rebellion' be limited to Butterfly Island."
"So the research on cannibals is suspended. Let's find another way to prevent the 'cannibal chaos' from spreading elsewhere."
Speaking of this, Matsudaira Sadanobu turned his head and looked at Inamori beside him:
"Inamori, are there any living people on Butterfly Island now?"
Inamori nodded vigorously: "About a year ago, the remaining islanders on Butterfly Island gathered in a village called Fenghe Village, and built a wooden wall outside the village to keep out cannibals.
."
"There should be some people still alive inside that wooden wall now."
"That's it..." Matsudaira Sadanobu muttered like this——
"Inamori, send out troops and kill all the people who are still alive on Butterfly Island." He said the words in a calm tone that made everyone present stunned again.
"Those people who are still alive on Butterfly Island are all movable hidden dangers."
Before everyone could recover from what Matsudaira Sadanobu just said, Matsudaira Sadanobu continued to talk to himself:
"Although we have destroyed all the ships and shipbuilding tools on Butterfly Island, we cannot guarantee that they will not be able to leave the island."
Matsudaira Sadanobu's eyes gradually burst into coldness.
"If these people who are very likely to become cannibals in the future are allowed to leave Butterfly Island, it will be troublesome."
"We simply cannot afford such hidden dangers."
"Lord Lao Zhong! Wait a minute!" Shen Shan said urgently, "If the islanders on this island die, they will turn into cannibals!"
"So what?" Matsudaira Sadanobu said without hesitation, "Isn't this just what I want? Cannibals have no wisdom at all. As long as all the living people on this island become cannibals, they will have no choice.
Leave this island."
"Inamori." Matsudaira Sadanobu looked at Inamori next to him again, "If we want to wipe out all the living people on the island, how many soldiers will be needed?"
"200... no, 150 elite soldiers are enough."
"So - when is the best time to land on the island?"
"At night." Daomori replied without hesitation, "Ogres will only attack living people within their field of vision, so in the dark night, their field of vision will be blocked by dim light, which can make our generals
We can better avoid the cannibals on the island and attack Fenghe Village where the remaining islanders live!"
Matsudaira Sadanobu turned his head and glanced at the sun that was about to sink into the horizon.
"...I like to act swiftly and resolutely. I don't like procrastination." Matsudaira Sadanobu said softly, "Inamori, send 150 elite soldiers to the island tonight! Kill all the living people who are still alive on Butterfly Island!"
Daomori showed some hesitation: "Kill all the islanders... Then also kill the prisoners who were thrown to Butterfly Island before?"
"Kill them all!" Matsudaira Sadanobu replied directly without thinking, "Anyway, they are just a bunch of people who don't matter if they die."
"Sir Laozhong!" At this moment, Shenshan said urgently, "Isn't it too hasty to start tonight?"
"It's not sloppy at all. Rather - I think our swords were swung too slowly."
"As early as when we sent out troops to exterminate the cannibals and failed to evacuate Butterfly Island, we should have killed all the living people on the island. In this way, we could isolate the cannibals early.
Possibility of leaving the island.”
Matsudaira Sadanobu's tone was very calm, as if he was just casually chatting about ordinary topics like killing fish and dogs.
"We didn't start until now. To be honest, it's a little late."
"But it's not too late to make amends."
"Daomori, go down quickly and prepare. Before the sun appears tomorrow, I want to see that there is no more living person on Butterfly Island."
