Chapter 1237: One incompetent general exhausts three armies
Yue Fei remained silent.
He simply stared at the charred corpse, its death gruesome, with a complicated expression.
Beyond shock, that bronze-colored, resolute face displayed a deep, soul-deep dread.
He finally understands a little now.
Why did the prince dare to send a mere 50,000 troops on a distant expedition against this vast empire with a million-strong army?
And now I finally understand why the prince has always appeared so calm and collected, as if he has everything under control.
Because in the face of the prince's absolute power, which was almost like that of a "god".
The so-called "thousands of troops and horses".
So-called conspiracies and tricks.
It's all just a ridiculous, easily refuted joke.
"An incompetent general can lead to the death of the entire army."
Lin Zhen looked at the already cold and charred corpse and said calmly.
"vice versa."
"As long as we can take down their leader in the fastest and most direct way."
"That so-called million-strong army is nothing more than a leaderless rabble."
As he spoke, he slowly squatted down.
Then, ignoring the pungent smell of burning flesh and the nauseating bloodstains.
He reached out and carefully searched through the pile of charcoal, which was still emitting wisps of black smoke.
Yue Fei and Elizabeth both looked at him with some confusion.
They couldn't understand why the prince was still searching for something in this pile of rotten flesh at a time like this.
Lin Zhen quickly stopped.
He picked something up from the pile of black charcoal.
It was a diamond-shaped crystal, only the size of a thumb, completely black, yet still shimmering with an eerie red glow under the candlelight!
It was that ultimate control weapon from the "Nihilists".
"The Stone of Nothingness"!
The moment Yue Fei and Elizabeth saw this black crystal.
The two faces, which were still filled with shock and confusion, instantly lost all color!
A chilling, bone-deep sense of death shot from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads!
Then it suddenly dawned on them!
The most fatal problem they overlooked!
This thing will explode!
Once it explodes, nothing will grow within a radius of ten miles!
And they are now less than three steps away from this walking super bomb!
"Your Highness! Be careful!" Yue Fei's voice became sharp and distorted due to extreme fear.
Elizabeth instinctively wanted to turn around and run away.
However, Lin Zhen's face showed no sign of panic.
He simply played quietly with the black crystal in his hand, which seemed to contain boundless destructive power.
Then he spoke slowly in a profound and inscrutable tone.
"rest assured."
"It's safe now."
"A host that has lost all signs of life."
“A quantum entanglement with which all energy resonance has been severed.”
"It is impossible to detonate this tiny glass bead again."
As he spoke, he casually tucked the "Stone of Nothingness," a stone capable of driving the entire world mad with fear, into his pocket.
It was as if it wasn't some kind of super weapon capable of destroying everything.
It was just a cheap little trinket that I picked up casually.
Yue Fei and Elizabeth were completely dumbfounded.
They stared blankly at Lin Zhen, their minds buzzing and completely blank.
Quantum entanglement?
Energy resonance?
What is this all about?
They could understand every word the prince spoke.
But why is it that when they're put together, they can't understand a single word?
For the first time, they felt a profound sense of powerlessness and frustration from the depths of their souls, a feeling known as the "generation gap."
A sense of awe and submission that arises from the depths of one's soul when facing a super genius who thinks on a completely different level!
"Alright, stop standing here like idiots." Lin Zhen shook his head, amused, at their bewildered expressions.
"Send men to search this place thoroughly."
"Take back any valuable documents, letters, or maps."
“Furthermore,” he turned to look at the dark forest outside the temple, “invite our ‘super collaborator’ Mr. Date Masamune in.”
"Let him witness firsthand the final 'glory' of his 'invincible' lord."
……
When the one-eyed Date Masamune was half-dragged, half-carried into this hellish Zen room by two "Night Owl" assassins.
He was completely stunned.
When he saw the unrecognizable, charred corpse lying on the ground...
His only remaining eye suddenly widened!
A bone-chilling cold instantly swept over his entire body!
Although the corpse was completely unrecognizable.
However, on the corpse were fragments of the white nightgown that had not yet been completely burned.
Along with the scabbard of the famous sword "Yashikiri Hasebe," which symbolized the supreme power of "all people under heaven," was at his waist.
But he recognized the true identity of the charred corpse immediately!
Oda Nobunaga!
The Sixth Demon King!
That was the absolute overlord in his eyes, a god or a demon, invincible and unconquerable!
actually……
He just died like that?!
And to die so tragically and so pathetically?!
"Plop" sound.
Date Masamune's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
His face, which was always full of arrogance, was now filled with endless, deep-seated fear and horror!
He's done.
He knew he was completely finished.
His biggest backer has fallen.
And he was a shameless traitor who betrayed his lord.
They will surely be devoured alive and reduced to ashes by this Eastern Prince, who is more terrifying and unfathomable than a devil!
“Mr. Date Masamune”.
Just as he was feeling utterly hopeless and preparing to face the judgment of his tragic fate.
Lin Zhen's cold, emotionless voice suddenly rang out above his head.
"You have one last chance to live."
"Tell me all the passwords and tokens for entering and leaving Azuchi Castle."
"Then take us inside."
"otherwise……"
Lin Zhen didn't finish her sentence.
But his chilling, sinister killing intent was palpable.
But it was like an invisible, towering mountain, pressing down heavily on Date Masamune!
This prevented him from even having the slightest thought of resistance!
The night was darker.
The captain's cabin of the Black Pearl was still brightly lit.
Murong Yan sat alone, quietly on the magnificent chair carved from a huge whale bone.
Her beautiful phoenix eyes were fixed on the huge map of Japan on the table.
Her mind was in complete turmoil.
More than an hour has passed.
My husband hasn't returned yet.
There was still no news from Honnoji Temple.
He...he won't have gotten into any trouble, will he?
This thought gnawed at her heart like a venomous snake.
It made her restless and anxious.
Do not!
Will not!
My husband is a man of perfect strategy and extraordinary abilities.
How could Oda Nobunaga possibly be his match?
He will do it just like every time before.
They returned in triumph, filled with victory and joy.
She took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the unease and anxiety in her heart.
She subconsciously reached out and gently stroked her slightly protruding belly.
She felt the steady yet powerful heartbeat of the little life connected to her by blood.
Her panicked heart finally calmed down a little.
