Chapter 542 Come on! Which warrior is willing to share the glory with me! (Part 1) [6000 words]
Yesterday I saw that the author of a friend's book **Lu had plagiarized it by changing only the character's name. Now my friend is dealing with this matter.
If you see plagiarized works from this book elsewhere, you can notify me as soon as possible and I will contact the editor to deal with it.
However, works of this kind can only survive on the most inclusive starting point. On other websites, I am afraid that they will not even make a splash (laughs).

As soon as Upanu finished speaking, a shout filled with impatience suddenly rang out:
"enough!"
The person who shouted this was Retannoe.
"Upanu, do you know what you are talking about?" Retannoe glared at Upanu, "I thought... you who have fought with Kazuto and have a blood feud with him must be the most supportive.
Defending our homeland..."
"It's because I fought with Kazuto that I advocated surrender." Upanu said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you laugh at me as a coward or call me timid."
"Surrender can continue the bloodline of the clan and keep everyone alive."
"Living and the continuation of the bloodline are more important than anything else."
Having said this, Upanu put down the pipe in his hand and looked at Chanupu not far away.
"Chanup. Stop hesitating there."
"Order Kaicheng to surrender."
"You are in charge of the entire Heyezhe. Preserving the lives of all the people in Heyezhe is what you should do most."
"You can't waste your life in a war that has little chance of winning."
"...Upanu." Chanup put down the pipe in his hand and lowered his head and asked softly. "Do you know what the consequences will be if you abandon your home and surrender to Kazuto?"
"Of course I know the consequences of surrendering." Upanu asked softly,
"Surrendered to Kazuto. There is a high probability that we will be forcibly moved to the 'Kazuto Land', forcing us to become 'naturalized Ainu' and subject to the supervision of the Kazuto people for the rest of our lives."
"But as I just said, doing this can keep everyone alive. Even though it is very humiliating."
Chanup raised his eyes and looked at Uppanu with eyes that made it difficult to discern the emotions contained in his eyes.

…
Red Moon Fortress, Kunoya's Clinic
Kunoya still hasn't come back.
"Okay, okay." Ating swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said urgently, "I'm full."
Ogata handed the bowl of porridge with half of the porridge left in his hand towards Omachi: "Would you like to eat more?"
"I have no appetite now... Under such circumstances, do you think I will still have an appetite...?" Atachi took back the bowl Ogata handed him, with a hint of anxiety in his tone, "Okay, rice.
We’ve eaten, let’s quickly think about how to solve the current predicament. How should we get out of here now?”
Just now, after Ogata came back and told A-Machi what happened outside, A-Machi urgently asked Ogata what to do.
In response to Omachi's urgent inquiry, Ogata's reply was, "Don't panic, don't be anxious. It's lunch time now, let's have lunch first. You have to eat on time now so that you can get better as soon as possible."
After giving A-Machi such an answer, Oromachi cooked their lunch for today in his own way, and then forced A-Machi to eat.
Atachi was unable to resist, so he could only obey and eat one spoonful after another of the porridge Ogata handed him.
Amachi didn't know whether Ogata wanted to calm down her emotions by eating, or whether he simply wanted her to eat on time and take good care of her body as soon as possible. Maybe it was both.
No matter what Ogata's plan was, after eating the porridge handed to him by the spoonfuls by Ogata at an unhurried speed, Atachi's originally panicked heart did become slightly calmer without even realizing it.
, just a little more stable.
Grabbing the bowl that Atachi had just brought back, Ogata said softly in a helpless tone:
"A-Machi, don't be so excited. What if you get injured?"
"The shogunate's army is outside right now, and this is a critical moment of life and death." Amachi said, "Can I not be in a hurry?"
Having said this, A-Machi paused.
The expression on his face became complicated.
"...Part of the reason why I am so anxious to quickly discuss a solution to the situation with you is because of you, Ayi."
"Me?" Oofang looked confused.
"...Don't think of me as a fool."
Atachi pursed his lips, looked straight at Ogata, and met Ogata's eyes.
"You told me before: You have thought of a way to break the situation if you encounter the situation of 'the shogunate will come before my body recovers'."
"But I could already see at that time that you were completely lying to me. You just made up such a lie to comfort me. You didn't think of any way to solve this situation at all."
The expression on Ogata's face froze.
"After all, I have been sharing the same bed with you for such a long time." Amachi continued, "I have already figured out some of your little habits."
"When you lie to others, you can do it without blinking."
"But only when he was lying to me, his eyes would subconsciously dodge and he would not dare to look at me."
"...Do I still have this habit..." Ogata smiled with a bit of embarrassment and raised his hand to touch his left eyelid.
Ating: "I knew you wanted to comfort me at that time, so I didn't expose you to your face and cooperated with you."
"It's just because I know that you don't have any way to break the situation right now that I'm anxious to quickly discuss with you a way to keep both of us safe..."
Ogata listened quietly, then slowly put down the hand touching his eyelids.
"...Since you have seen through it all, I won't hide it anymore."
Ogata smiled a little apologetically at Omachi.
"You're right. At that time, I really didn't have any way to break out of this dangerous situation."
"It's just a lie made up to make you feel at ease and recover."
"but"
Ogata's conversation suddenly changed.
"It's not like I've done anything these past few days except taking care of you."
"In the past few days, whenever I have some free time, I have spent it thinking about what we should do if we are really trapped by the shogunate army."
"I was really empty-headed before."
"But after a few days of thinking, I now have a definite idea... maybe a way to get out of this current predicament."
For some reason, Ogata paused and showed hesitation in the middle of what he just said.
Hearing Ogata's words, A Machi's face showed a hint of expectation: "What method? Tell me quickly."
Ogata: "..."
Ogata didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he remained silent with hesitation.
Looking at Ogata with a hesitant look on his face, A-Machi felt a faint sense of foreboding welling up in his heart.
After a moment of silence, Ogata suppressed the hesitation on his face and said slowly:
"It is impossible for us to surrender to the shogunate army. They were attacked by Ogata Ittousai just a while ago. If they suddenly see a young samurai who is similar in age and build to Ogata Ittousai in a place like this, they will definitely attack us.
Round after round of inspections.”
"Red Moon Fortress faces rivers on three sides, the north, west, and east are adjacent to broad rivers, and only the south is connected to the land."
"And the Red Moon Fortress only has one gate connected to the land to the south."
"Now the only entrance to the south has been blocked by the shogunate army...The only way to get you out is to drive away the shogunate troops outside the city..."
Before Ogata could finish his words, Atachi opened his eyes wide and said sharply:
"Are you crazy?! You want to repel the shogunate army outside the city?!"
"...I know this is difficult." Ogata said softly, "But after thinking about it, there is no other way to get you out of here except this method."
"What are you thinking about?" A-Machi's face turned red with excitement, his chest heaved violently, and he told Ogata unceremoniously, "It's because you successfully entered the military camp and killed the man who seriously injured me.
Do people give you too much confidence?”
"You know how different the difficulty is between assassinating someone in the military camp and repelling an entire army... Hmm...!"
Before he finished speaking, A-Machi suddenly showed pain on his face and raised his hand to cover his wound, which was wrapped in layers of linen.
Ogata was shocked by Omachi's move.
"A-Ding, what's wrong?" A-Ding asked urgently.
…
…
The meeting came to an end again.
After Upanu proposed direct surrender, some of the original "escape faction" people became "main surrender faction".
Those who originally advocated escape were a group of people who felt that there was no chance of winning against the Kazuto army. It was expected that some of them would change their identities and become "subjugation faction".
So the original battle between the "main fighting faction" and the "main escape faction" became a battle between the "main fighting faction" and the "main surrender faction".
The "war faction" headed by Retannoe refused to give in, and so did the "main surrender faction" headed by Upano.
As usual, Chanup did not disclose his position at all.
People from the two factions fought until they were exhausted and blushing.
Because both groups were exhausted, the meeting could only be temporarily suspended and would be resumed tonight.
The meeting had just adjourned and Chanup was one of the first to leave the room.
After Chanup left, several people sitting next to Retannoe, who were members of the "war faction" like Retannoe, sighed sadly:
"Chanup...what is he doing...how long has it been? Why hasn't he said anything? Does he want to fight or surrender?"
"Sigh... I can understand Chanup... After all, given his status, he must be careful in his words and deeds."
"We need Chanup's leadership... He has been so silent now, what should we do..."
"Hmph. In my opinion, it's just that Chanupu is too timid. He neither dares to fight nor wants to surrender, so he just drags on. The original 'hero' who led us to find and build this new home,
I have become timid and cowardly..."
Retannoe had been listening quietly to the words of the people around him.
Listen quietly and leave silently without a glance...
…
…
Chanup was walking home with his pipe in his hand.
He did not choose to take the main road, but chose to walk on a path with few pedestrians because now he did not want to be surrounded by his own tribe and asked "what should they do".
Now, he doesn't know how to answer this kind of question...
Just when Chanup was about to return to his home, he suddenly heard the voice of an old acquaintance behind him:
"Chanup."
Chanup stopped, turned his head and looked back, looking at his acquaintance Retannoe who stopped him.
Retannoe walked towards Chanup expressionlessly.
"Chanup. What are you doing?" Retannoe said directly to Chanup without saying a word of greeting, "You keep not expressing your thoughts because you want to
how?"
"Do you want to fight to the death with Kazuto, or do you want to grovel to Kazuto like a coward? Can't you just say it out loud?"
Chanup smiled bitterly and subconsciously wanted to lift the cigarette in his hand to smoke. But as soon as he lifted the cigarette, he realized that he had not lit the cigarette, so he could only put down the cigarette he had just raised in embarrassment.
"...I am now in charge of the entire Heyezhe." Chanupu said slowly, "I must be cautious in this kind of dangerous situation involving the life and death of my tribe..."
Before Chanup finished speaking, Retannoe suddenly interrupted Chanup's words:
"...Chanup, you seem to be really old."
Having said that, the emotions contained in Retannoe's eyes when he looked at Chanup became...complex.
Chanup, who didn't know why Retannoe suddenly changed the subject so abruptly, was stunned for a moment and responded in a half-joking tone:
"I'm a human being too. Of course my hair will turn gray and my face will get wrinkles."
"I'm not saying that you look old," Retannoe, "I mean that your heart seems to be old."
"It's... not like the 'hero' before."
The expression on Chanup's face turned blank again.
At this time, Retannoe continued:
"Ten years ago, when several of our tribes had to move south to find new homes due to climate deterioration, I break out in cold sweat every time I think about that experience of moving south."
"Blizzards, wild beast attacks, no food, other villages taking advantage of the situation...we suffered blows again and again."
"Even I couldn't help but despair several times, thinking that this might be the end of it for us."
"But every time when everyone is depressed, you will stand up and encourage everyone."
"You seem to never know what fear is. Whether you are encountering a snowstorm or a food shortage, you always show a bold and fearless expression, inspiring everyone to keep moving forward, and directing everyone to keep moving forward. In the end, he successfully led us and found the
This new home.”
"The way you look now, hesitant and hesitant, is no longer the heroic hero you were 10 years ago."
From now on, Chanup's head has been lowered and lowered.
At this moment, Chanup's head was so low that Retannoe could only see the hair swirling on top of his head.
"Chanup."
Retannoe spoke word by word.
“Seeing our home in danger because of hungry wolves.”
"Seeing that this new home that took so much sacrifice to be found will be overrun."
"Do you really feel nothing?"
"Do you really feel nothing at all?"
After saying that, Retannoe took a deep look at Chanup in front of him.
Then he quickly turned around and left.
It's a coincidence.
Because Chanupu had buried his head low just now, Retannoe did not see that after what he said just now, there was a faint trace of light in Chanupu's eyes, which had been dim these days.
Light emerges.
…
…
As soon as the meeting was suspended, Upanu also walked out of the room.
As soon as he walked out of the house, he immediately heard footsteps behind him and looked back, it was a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was the same middle-aged man who had been firmly advocating escape and confronting Retannoe and others.
As soon as the middle-aged man rushed to Upanu's side, he immediately said to Upanu:
"Upanu, you just said it so well. How can we waste our lives in a completely unwinnable war?"
Regarding this person's praise, Upanu's face remained as usual, unmoved by the middle-aged man's praise.
He raised the cigarette in his hand, took a puff of cigarette silently, and said slowly:
"It's a pity that Chanup has not expressed his stance for a long time, while Retannoe and others are stubborn."
The middle-aged man curled his lips: "People like Retannoe are really troublesome. No matter what you say, they won't listen..."
"...I have just been thinking that Retannoe and the others are all stupid. You and I discussed each other word by word like just now, and I don't know when to convince Retannoe and the others to agree to surrender."
Upanu said slowly.
"So I think we have to think of some ways to increase our momentum, and I just happened to think of a good way to increase our momentum."
"You came just in time. Can you do me a favor?"
…
…
Red Moon Fortress,
"...It's okay." Cunoya carefully checked A-Machi's wound several times, then nodded gently, "The wound is not torn."
After that, Kunoya changed her tone to a stern tone and said to Amachi:
"Be careful, little girl. You can't do any violent movements now. If the wound is torn, it will be in trouble."
A-Machi: "I know..."
Just now, A-Ting was so excited that he accidentally pulled his own wound.
Although A-Machi said that he was fine, Ogata still chose to retrieve Cunoa and let Cunoa check A-Machi's wounds.
As soon as Ogata rushed out of the clinic, he met Kunoya, who was holding a cigarette and had just returned to the clinic after taking care of things.
After listening to Ogata's brief description of the situation, Kunoya immediately opened Omachi's linen. Fortunately, the diagnosis showed that the wound was not torn.
Kunoya took out a new linen cloth and bandaged Atachi's wound.
While bandaging A-Machi's wound, he said to Ogata and A-Machi in a calm tone:
"It's really scary out there right now."
"I just went to review a patient of mine who sprained his waist a while ago."
"Halfway through the follow-up visit, I suddenly received news that Kazuto's army was calling."
"When I came back from the follow-up visit, I saw many people maintaining order there, telling everyone not to be afraid and to go home temporarily."
"Someone is obedient."
"There are also people who choose to conflict with these people who maintain order."
"Some people shouted loudly, 'What's there to be afraid of?'"
"There are also some who are crying. I don't know what they are crying about."
Speaking of this, Cunoya laughed a few times as if she was amused.
"Facing the incoming Kazuto army, it's funny how everyone reacts differently."
Seeing Kunoya being overly calm and even teasing her leisurely, Ogata couldn't help but ask Kunoya:
"Kunoa, you are so calm. Aren't you afraid of the Kazuto army outside the city?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Kunoya shrugged, "When trouble comes, just slowly find a way to solve it."
"Besides, there's nothing to panic about."
Kunoya winked at Ogata and smiled.
"Although I look like an ordinary doctor, I have actually been through a lot of storms."
"Just 'Kazuto attacks' doesn't scare me."
Speaking of which, Kunoya had just bandaged A-Machi's wound.
"Okay. After this time, you have to be careful and don't make any too drastic movements."
Noisy.
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the house.
Ogata, Amachi, and Kunoa all turned to look outside the room.
"What's going on outside..." Cunoya frowned slightly, "Why is it so noisy...Is Kazuto showing off his force outside again..."
After saying that, Cunoya shook her head with helplessness, then stood up and walked out.
"I'll go outside to check on the situation."
Not long after Cunoya left, she came back.
"What's going on outside?" Ogata asked.
"It's no big deal." Kunoya shrugged while stuffing new tobacco into the pipe in his hand, "It seems that the chief of Upanu of Kapasi Village was going to give a speech, and many people were attracted.
Go over there and just want to hear what that Upanu has to say."
Speaking of this, Cunoya let out a sneer.
"That Upanu... I can roughly guess what that person wants to say."
"That guy... looks like a bear with its balls cut off."
"And the people who cut off his balls were the people from the 'Battle of Cunasil and Menasse' three years ago."
"It's not difficult to guess what a guy who had his balls cut off by Kazuto would say when faced with the incoming Kazuto army."
At this point, Cunoya had just stuffed the tobacco into the pipe, but because she was taking care of the frail Amachi, she did not light it. She just held the pipe in her mouth and continued:
"But even though that guy's eggs were cut, there's still a chance they will grow back."
"It depends on who has the ability to make him grow eggs again."
