Chapter 1966: Chapter 1968: Land Emperor
Hua Tuo is your teacher, and in Xuzhou, he is an influential figure. His journey to Japan is undoubtedly great news for Zhi, who couldn’t help but burst into tears of joy.
At this moment, Hua Tuo slightly turned and looked towards the northeastern horizon, a faint smile gracing his face.
"Ah-Choo!"
In your dream, you were awakened by the cold. To be precise, you should say you were awoken by ice. At night, Himiko feels like an ice block, freezing cold. To prevent Himiko from freezing to death in her sleep, for more than half a month now, you’ve been sleeping shirtless, holding her close. To be honest, holding such a delicate beauty but being able to do nothing more than just hold her leaves you feeling a bit frustrated.
Despite your frustration, you are more concerned about Himiko’s health, so you spend your energy on the strong fishermen down the mountain.
What’s that?
Anyone who thought differently, go stand facing the wall.
By this time, the sunrise had already risen, and along the coastline, about twenty strong men were jogging on the beach. They moved in unison, full of energy, each one reciting broken phrases: "At the beginning of human life, their nature is inherently good, their natures are similar, but habits make them different..."
The Three Character Classic is a product of the Song Dynasty; your knowledge is limited, so you could only teach them these parts. Moreover, these men are not used to spread Han culture; they are your sharp weapon for attacking inland!
Ever since you killed the Great White Shark, the fishermen have been extremely respectful towards you, and they even provide your daily food. This has freed up a lot of time for you, allowing you to select twenty strong men from among them and personally teach them fighting skills, particularly killing techniques.
Little Cherry woke up early and brought you water for washing your face, along with the clothes prepared by the fishermen. Today marks the beginning of everything for you, who has lost your memory!
As you walked out the door, you descended the hill. At the foot of the hill, two women were hoeing the ground. To be precise, they were weeding while moving some stones to other places. In the past, everyone in this village relied on the sea for their livelihood. You intend to change their way of living because, with their current fishing skills, going out to sea is almost like seeking death.
Even though you killed five Great White Sharks, their terrifying fins can still be seen along the coast. That’s why you dedicated time to training the strong men in the village, preparing to lead them inland.
Today marks the first step.
The closest city to the small fishing village is called Yan, and according to Himiko, this city is surrounded by rocks, giving it its name. The most notable difference between Japan and The Great Han is that here is a landlord system. The so-called landlord system means that the landlord here is everything; he has his own armed troops and resides in a small fortress, akin to a Land Emperor.
Unlike in The Great Han, cities in Japan do not have city walls. In this land of poor soil and sparse population, what is called war is actually just a few hundred, or even a few dozen, or just a handful of people fighting, nothing compared to the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of wars in The Great Han.
All around the city is the landlord’s domain, and everyone must pay the landlord a certain amount of food.
Today is the day to pay food, once a month.
"Master!"
The twenty strong fishermen, ready and waiting, saw you coming down from the hill and greeted you in unison. Their style of salute was akin to modern soldiers, with their palms straight and pressed against their foreheads.
This is actually your little whimsical indulgence, as you had long wanted to do this. Now with this golden opportunity, and these uneducated fellows following you, you naturally wanted to train them into the most obedient servants.
"Set off!"
Without unnecessary words, with a wave of your hand, ten fishermen pushed the ten wooden carts you personally crafted, while the other ten provided cover, heading towards Yan City ten kilometers away.
If someone were observant, it wouldn’t be hard to notice that these twenty fishermen seemed to have a long narrow object stuck in the back of their pants, resembling a weapon.
For ordinary people in Ixie Kingdom, ten kilometers would take at least half a day, but these fishermen, having been drilled by you every day for the past few months, have a much higher tolerance and speed than regular folks. Before the sun hit its highest point, you already saw the market.
At first sight, when you first laid eyes on what is called Yan City, you immediately cursed: "Mother’s balls! What kind of city is this, it’s just a beggar’s den!"
By this time, you had just crested a hill; from your vantage point, the so-called Yan City was visibly beneath you. A city without walls, its outskirts were slums, those houses looking as if they were pieced together by wooden boards. Further in, the houses looked slightly better, though they still seemed like they could collapse with a gust of wind. This appearance continued all the way to the central Stone Fortress, which seemed okay but a bit small, certainly unable to house a troop of even two hundred.
You suddenly thought, Fusang is a region historically plagued by earthquakes, with their current technological level, they simply cannot withstand quakes, hence the simplicity.
Although Yan City looks simple, it still had soldiers patrolling its perimeter. Right in front of you were two soldiers with large beards, standing shorter than your elbow. They wore bamboo armor, formed from bamboo strips, and held spears, quite robust in build, indicating that the City Lord treats his soldiers rather well.
The two soldiers, upon seeing your group appear, displayed a hint of a smile on their previously gloomy faces. They swaggeringly walked over, with one of them even shaking his spear, speaking in unintelligible bird language towards you.
To be honest, it’s not that you’re lazy, but you simply have no desire to learn this local gibberish. It sounds somewhat Minnan-accented with a kind of garbled pronunciation, making it feel like a drunkard singing at night.
The fellow shaking the spear spotted you first. It was his first and last time seeing such a tall person in his life. As he began to shout loudly at you and pointed his spear at you, even making a stabbing motion, you grabbed the spear, swung the guy into the air, and then stabbed the spear into the ground. When he landed, the spear went straight through his screaming mouth and eventually emerged from Ju Hua’s butt!
