I was invincible in the dungeon with a funny character skill

Tsk, it's actually real!

Shaking his head in disappointment, Wang Xiaoming lay back down on the haystack, not continuing to explore further. This was enough. Any further and he'd become Zhang San, and would get caught.

As for why he could delve deeper with Hestia, that was different. Firstly, Hestia was his wife. Secondly, although Hestia was a loli, she was legal. Her ID card stated she was hundreds of millions of years old. Did he understand the significance of being hundreds of millions of years old?

But the nameless one before him wouldn't do. Touching her was against the law!

Wang Xiaoming, like Nameless, lay on the haystack, even mimicking Nameless by resting his right leg on his left, looking completely nonchalant.

If he wasn't mistaken, this train should be the Kabaneri Iron Fortress, and its destination was the Aragane Station where the male lead was located.

That was where the story began, and Wang Xiaoming planned to start his actions from there.

The system window had already told him his mission in this world before he entered it: to save the world.

To put it bluntly, saving the world meant solving the Kabane virus problem in this world.

Unlike the first world, Highschool of the Dead, this world's technology was much weaker, and the era was also later. The time Wang Xiaoming would need to spend to save the world would probably be quite a lot.

However, Wang Xiaoming wasn't short on time, and he also didn't have the urgency he felt in his first world. So, Wang Xiaoming wanted to play a game of warlord hegemony!

The first step in this hegemony was to take Aragane Station into his hands.

78. The Noble Arrives at Aragane Station

Aragane Station was a relatively large station on the railway. In terms of city size, it could be considered a second-tier city. The scale was relatively large, and the population was also very high. The Yoshikawa family was responsible for leading Aragane Station. Yoshikawa's subordinates included the Six Lords, and through the Six Lords, the Yoshikawa family controlled the entire Aragane Station.

Behind Aragane Station, after passing the Yomogawa Station, one could reach the fortress station, Iwato Station. And behind Iwato Station was the shogun's Golden Fortress, the largest station in all of Japan.

The Iron Fortress didn't stop at all along the way, because there were no more stations along the way that could be stopped at. A large number of stations had already been captured by the Kabane. Of course, there were also some stations that weren't captured by the Kabane, but were harmed by humans.

The mastermind behind harming these stations was the shogun's son, the leader of Nameless and her group, Mumei's group, a girl with long, flirtatious pink hair.

And Aragane Station would soon be harmed by Mumei as well.

The place where Wang Xiaoming landed wasn't too far from Aragane Station, and the time was also in the morning. After getting on the train, it took less than an hour for the Iron Fortress to reach its destination, Aragane Station.

This city was surrounded by tall walls, and a large number of samurai patrolled the walls with steam guns. Outside the high walls, there was also a deep moat to protect it. To prevent the Kabane from climbing up, the defense methods that could be used in this era were used to the extreme.

The city's several exits were all connected to the railway outside the city. The connection method was a drawbridge laid with rails. When there were no trains entering the city, the drawbridge would be raised to prevent Kabane from entering. When a train was about to enter the city, the drawbridge would be lowered to allow the train to enter.

The tall Iron Fortress had already stopped outside the drawbridge, because the Iron Fortress had arrived early. According to the planned schedule, it should have arrived at Aragane Station tomorrow morning, but the stations along the way had all fallen, causing it to not stop at all along the way, so it arrived at Aragane Station a day early. The samurai on the city wall hadn't been notified, so the drawbridge hadn't been lowered in advance.

After the samurai confirmed that the arriving Iron Fortress was okay, the drawbridge was lowered, and the giant Iron Fortress began to slowly enter the station.

Wang Xiaoming had already stood up from the haystack when the train stopped. He walked to the small window next to the carriage that could observe the outside situation, and began to analyze and observe the tall surrounding walls outside.

"We've arrived at the station. I'll open the door in a moment."

The young man, Yomogawa, who was also observing the gap next to the window, turned his head to Nameless on the haystack after confirming the situation outside.

"Yeah, I'll leave the meeting with those guys to you. I'm going to play in the city."

Nameless did a carp jump and stood up from the haystack. At the same time as she got up, she also pulled out a kendama from under the haystack and juggled it in her hand.

"Yeah."

Yomogawa responded, and then after the Iron Fortress entered the station, he opened the side door of the carriage. Nameless poked her head out to take a look, and after discovering that no one was paying attention here, she jumped down from the side door.

Wang Xiaoming also followed closely behind and jumped down behind Nameless.

At this time, the entire station's attention was on the front inspection carriage, and no one noticed Nameless at all.

The so-called inspection carriage was a special carriage connecting the entrance and exit of the carriages. Everyone who got off the train needed to enter it, and then take off their clothes to allow the station staff to check their bodies for bites or scratches from the Kabane. Once a wound was discovered, even if you weren't scratched by the Kabane, you would all be locked up for observation for three days. You would only be released after three days if you didn't mutate.

Wang Xiaoming followed behind Nameless and walked towards the exit of the station. Along the way, he also saw the male protagonist of this world, Ikoma with green hair. Ikoma was inspecting the Iron Fortress with his friend. He was a steam worker at Aragane Station, 17 years old this year. He saw Nameless, and his eyes went straight. It was clear that he was a lolicon. This was also the first encounter between the male and female protagonists in the original work.

Then Nameless was discovered by the samurai next to him, and his idea of going to play in the city fell through.

Wang Xiaoming wasn't interested in him, nor was he interested in Nameless anymore. He glanced at him and ignored him. He passed Nameless, who was being stopped by the samurai, and quickly left the station. After leaving the station, he finally saw the full view of Aragane Station.

The entire Aragane Station was visibly divided into two parts. One part was the slum, which was full of shacks, and the other part was the noble district. Some particularly orderly buildings could be seen from a distance. In the center of the noble district was a tall castle, which looked very much in line with the Japanese-style illegal building style, but it wasn't as exaggerated as a castle tower. After all, not everyone could live in a castle tower.

That noble area belonged to the Six Lords under the Yoshikawa family. They were representatives of the nobles and controlled most of the land in Aragane Station. The tall castle was naturally owned by the Yoshikawa family, the leader of this city.

Wang Xiaoming's destination was that tall castle. Aragane Station was a good place, and Wang Xiaoming decided to make this place his territory.

The current head of the Yoshikawa family was named Yoshiwara Kanesato. From the few pieces of information that could be understood, this person was not bad, not the kind of particularly pedantic guy.

At this time, Yoshiwara Kanesato was also at the station, but Wang Xiaoming didn't plan to contact him now. Before contacting Yoshiwara Kanesato, he wanted to get rid of some trash, the so-called Six Lords.

After leaving the station, Wang Xiaoming went directly to the slum, found an old brother who was carrying goods, and reached out from behind to pat his shoulder.

"Yo, old brother, can I ask for directions?"

"Who is it? Didn't you see I'm busy?"

The old brother with a sack on his shoulder turned his head impatiently when he heard the voice and looked at Wang Xiaoming. After taking a look, he immediately threw away the sack in his hand and bowed to Wang Xiaoming.

"My lord, I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to."

It seems like he's considering himself a noble. That's right, Wang Xiaoming's current attire, wearing armor and carrying a ship-cutting sword on his back, plus his handsome appearance, makes him look anything but ordinary. In Japan's class-固化 society, he's definitely in the noble class. Commoners must be humble and submissive when facing nobles, or they'll be cut down by samurai.

"It's nothing, don't mind it. I just arrived at Xianjin Post and wanted to ask you for directions."

"Please ask, I've lived in Xianjin Post my whole life, I'm very familiar with this place."

The old man lowered his body, looked up at Wang Xiaoming, and wore a flattering smile on his face.

"Do you know where the six leaders under my sworn brother Sifangchuan Jianjiang are located?"

Sifangchuan Jianjiang, that's the city lord's name. Directly calling the city lord by his name, and even calling him sworn brother, this is an incredible noble!

"I know, I know. The six leaders usually stay in their residences during the day. I know where their residences are, I'll lead you there!"

"Oh, then I'll have to trouble you."

Wang Xiaoming's face was full of sincere smiles.

79. True Assassins Go on a Killing Spree

The so-called six leaders are the six representatives of the noble class. They represent the interests of the nobles and also control a large amount of resources. In Wang Xiaoming's view, they are a group of useless exploiters with no value in existing.

These guys, as long as the benefits are sufficient, they can betray at any time. For the sake of the future stability of his territory, Wang Xiaoming decided to kill them first. Then, for the remaining people, he'd have Sifangchuan Jianjiang gather them together for a meeting.

Starting today, I, Wang Xiaoming, will be the boss of Xianjin Post. Who agrees? Who opposes?

See, wouldn't that settle things?

"Old brother, what's your name?"

"My lord, you're too kind. My name is Zhuma."

"Zhuma? Do you know someone named Qingmei?"

"Uh... I don't know anyone."

"Okay, never mind."

The people at the bottom only have given names, no surnames. Zhuma was his name. Along the way, Wang Xiaoming kept talking to this old man to maintain his sense of presence, so he would keep leading him.

Soon, Wang Xiaoming was led to the entrance of the noble district. Two samurai, carrying katana, blocked the entrance.

"Halt! This is not a place you can enter."

The samurai were blocking the old man who was leading the way, of course. This kind of commoner wasn't qualified to enter.

"Samurai-sama, I'm here to guide this lord."

"This lord..."

"That's me."

The samurai looked at Wang Xiaoming, who stepped forward. The samurai were stunned for a moment. From his appearance, Wang Xiaoming's blonde hair was already very unusual. The fabric of his clothes also looked very high-end and precious, and he was also carrying a large sword on his back. No matter how you looked at it, he was a noble.

Although samurai were also considered a privileged class, the samurai's status came from the nobles. To put it bluntly, they were the nobles' dogs. After confirming that Wang Xiaoming was a noble, their attitude immediately softened, but they had never seen Wang Xiaoming before and didn't recognize him.

"May I ask who you are...?"

"I'm Jianjiang's sworn brother's friend. I'm here to find the six leaders under him. Are those guys inside?"

Wang Xiaoming had a nonchalant attitude, not as particular as a noble, but at the same time, he didn't care about those six leaders at all, making the two samurai confused about what kind of situation this guy was in. This was different from the nobles they usually came into contact with...

"Alright, you can go back now. Consider this your reward."

Wang Xiaoming took out a bread from his space pocket and threw it to Zhuma, signaling him to leave.

"Thank you, my lord."

Zhuma took the fried noodle bread in the plastic packaging. Although he didn't know what it was, he was sure that whatever the noble gave him must be good, so his face was full of joy.

"I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he turned and ran.

Watching Zhuma leave, Wang Xiaoming looked at the two samurai.

"You two, take me to find those six guys. Don't waste my time making me find them."

As soon as Zhuma left, Wang Xiaoming's face changed, becoming full of displeasure, and his attitude towards the samurai immediately turned bad.

"Yes, my lord."

The two immediately nodded.

This was the kind of noble they usually came into contact with. If they had doubted it before, they had no doubts now. This was definitely a noble.

Lowlifes!

Wang Xiaoming curled his lips, filled with contempt for these so-called samurai.

"Are all six of those guys there now? I was entrusted by Jianjiang to bring a message to all of them. Don't waste my time making me look for them one by one."

"My lord, the six leaders are in the tea room. According to Jianjiang-sama's arrangement, the six leaders are to make arrangements for the arrival of Fusang City, so all six leaders are discussing in the tea room."

"Good that they're all there, hurry up and take me there."

"Yes, my lord, please this way."

Even though they didn't even know Wang Xiaoming's name, they didn't dare to refuse Wang Xiaoming's order at all. They also couldn't verify it. If Jianjiang was in the city lord's mansion now, then they could go nearby to verify it, but now Jianjiang was at the station in charge of the entry work of the Koutetsujou, as well as receiving Wuming and the other, and it would take a while to return. And this time was enough for Wang Xiaoming to operate.

Soon, with Wang Xiaoming constantly muttering along the way, they arrived outside the courtyard of the tea room.

"This is the tea room, my lord. Please allow me to go in and inform them."

The samurai finished speaking and prepared to go in and inform the six leaders.

"No need, they're not qualified to make me wait for their notification. I don't want to waste time with them, you can go back, I'll go in."

"Ah... yes!"

Although this wasn't in accordance with the rules, the rules were determined by the nobles. The higher the noble, the greater the power, just like the city lord Sifangchuan Jianjiang. If he went in, he definitely wouldn't need any so-called notification. Wang Xiaoming called Jianjiang sworn brother, so his status must be very high. The samurai listened to Wang Xiaoming's words, so they obeyed.

Watching Wang Xiaoming walk into the gate of the tea room's courtyard, the two samurai turned and left.

Inside the tea room, Wang Xiaoming heard the sound of the two leaving footsteps, smiled with satisfaction, stood in the courtyard, and didn't rush to enter the tea room immediately, but waited a while outside, counting down in his heart.

After counting to ten in his heart, Wang Xiaoming started to act again. No one saw him, and he walked into the tea room in front of the other samurai guarding the tea room.

Inside the tea room, six old men wearing kimonos were smoking and discussing how to trade with Fusang City, which was about to arrive today. Juncheng was responsible for transporting supplies between the various city posts for trading, and these nobles were the main body of the trade. Making profits from it was what these six leaders were responsible for.

When Wang Xiaoming pushed open the door to the tea room, the six leaders all heard the sound of the tea room door being pushed open and turned their heads to look, but they didn't see anything.

"What's going on? Who's outside!"

The old man closest to the door scolded towards the outside, but no one answered him.

"Which death-seeking guy dares to be here... uh ah!!"

Before he could finish speaking, his chest suddenly exploded, and blood and internal organs were scattered all over the ground.

This sudden situation stunned all the remaining five old men.

"This..."

Puff—

Another old man who was closest to the exploded old man pointed at the suddenly exploded old man, his hands trembling, but before he could tremble a few times, his head flew directly up.

"What's going on!"

"Who's outside!"

"Samurai, samurai!"
