America 1881: Legend of the West

Night fell in the Japanese stronghold.

Both the ronin and the soldiers with guns were exhausted after fighting fiercely throughout the day.

Everyone, including Kameda Masao, expected a counterattack, but they never expected it to be one wave after another.

He never expected that they were not the only ones to stage a coup in Honolulu today, but also Thurston and his Hawaiian People's Alliance.

This group of people is completely unreasonable and insists on fighting with them. Those who don't know better think that they are the royalists.

Not to mention the heavy casualties on both sides, the group on the other side got two cannons from nowhere and blasted a big gap in the wall of the stockade.

The Japanese could only seize the opportunity to repair the city wall in the dark at night, otherwise God knows if the other side would come over at night.

This requires manpower.

Therefore, only one person was assigned to guard the original sentry post on the city wall.

They were said to be guards, but most of them were exhausted, so they could rest for a while while they could.

Yuichi Inoue is one of them.

His sentry position is located on the edge of the sentry tower in the southeast corner.

"I told you not to fight. Don't fight. It's okay now. I've just stung a hornet's nest and there's no time to bury the body." Inoue stood on the sentry tower.

While he was chewing rice balls, he looked at his colleagues who were collecting corpses in the village not far away.

His hometown is in Kumamoto Prefecture. He originally planned to go to Hokkaido to open up wasteland, but he was stopped halfway by La Zhuangding. After three months of training, he was sent to Hawaii to join the Lancers.

The climate here is definitely more pleasant than Hokkaido, but whether we can go back alive is another matter.

Jing glanced outside the village.

Outside was the forest, which was pitch black at the moment, as if a bottomless mouth was about to swallow him.

Inoue shrank his neck and sighed.

He leaned on the rifle in his hand and sat down with his back against the wooden wall.

There shouldn't be anything going on in the middle of the night. After all, the wall is seven or eight meters high and there's no place to stay. Those people on the other side can't fly over!

Thinking of this, Inoue felt a little more relaxed.

There was a strange cry from an unknown animal in the forest outside. It seemed to be some kind of primate, or some kind of bird that never appeared during the day.

Inoue thought of the forest in his hometown for no reason.

There were also fellow villagers from Kumamoto Prefecture who came with him. One of them died in a gunfight in Chinatown, and the other happened to be standing on the collapsed wooden city wall during the day and was blown away by a cannon. The whereabouts of his body are still unknown.

"Life is so fickle!" Inoue sighed as he squatted on the wall.

Suddenly, he felt some rustling noises coming from above his head.

Inoue quickly looked up.

But there seemed to be nothing above my head.

He stood up with his hand on the wooden wall and touched a torch placed in the corner.

He was ready to light a torch to see what was going on.

However, it was okay if Inoue didn't touch it, and he almost scared himself to death when he touched it.

He touched a smooth arm!

The owner of the arm was obviously taken aback and blurted out;

"Fuck, I thought there was no one there!"

A black shadow suddenly emerged from the corner.

By the faint light of the bonfire below the stockade, Iningshang discovered that there seemed to be a person there.

He was stunned for less than a second before he reacted. Just as he was about to shout for support, his mouth and nose were tightly covered.

A sharp blade stabbed him in the lung.

He pulled it out and stabbed it in again, like poking a water bag, stabbing Inoue more than ten times until he was too dead to die.

Sean stood up.

He learned this technique of touching the sentinel from Chen Jianqiu, but when he used it, it was a bit awkward and the scene was a bit ugly.

When he was looking at this place from outside the village, Inoue happened to sit down.

So he thought there was no one here, so he threw away his hook and climbed up.

Sean wiped the dagger on the Japanese guard's body, then dragged him to a corner under the stairs of the sentry tower.

This way at least people on patrol won't get tripped when they pass by.

Fortunately, Inoue's figure wasn't very impressive, so Sean was able to handle it without much effort.

He walked down the stairs of the city wall to the first floor, using the shadows to move through the stockade.

These cabins all have windows.

Sean searched room after room and finally found the room where the queen and princess were kept.

Just as he was about to turn in, he found that the door to the room was suddenly opened.

Kameda Masao walked in.

Behind him were several people, all armed and fierce.

"Mr. Kameda, I have signed the abdication decree as per your request, why are you still detaining us?" Queen Liliu Okanira protected her daughter behind her and asked the Japanese in front of her.

"Your Majesty, please be patient for a moment. It's not that I don't want to let you out, but that someone on this island wants you to die!" Kameda Masao said to the Queen respectfully.

The Queen sneered:

"I see, the person who wants me dead the most on this island is now standing in front of me, talking to me."

Kameda Masao shook his head;

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I don't want you to die, because I also want you to announce the transfer of power in public. Those who want you dead are Thurston and his Hawaiian People's Alliance, who are recklessly attacking Stay here!"

His words were honest and cruel.

The expression on the Queen's face froze.

She has sat on the throne for so long that she has lost her sense of the people and those below her.

When she was in trouble, what she didn't expect was that, except for the captain of the guard, none of the dignitaries came to save her, and the only one who arrived actually wanted to kill herself!

Her usual favors did not leave any waves in the hearts of those nobles.

If not for this coup, she might still be kept in the dark by Kasaba.

According to this minister, everyone in the Kingdom of Hawaii regards herself as their mother and is bathed in the favor of the Queen.

What son or daughter would stand by and watch when his mother is in trouble?

This made the queen instantly feel disheartened.

"Your Majesty the Queen, I will let you out after I defeat those who attempted the coup." After finishing speaking, Kameda Masao walked out of the Queen's room.

The Queen sat silently on the edge of the bed, caressing her little daughter's face.

Her eldest daughter stood by her side and began to sob silently.

"Don't cry! Be strong." The queen raised her head and looked at her eldest daughter.

At this moment, the window of the room suddenly moved.

A thin, dark-skinned man wearing black clothes climbed in through the window.

The Queen's two daughters were shocked.

The younger daughter opened her mouth to scream, but Her Majesty the Queen covered her.

The eldest daughter was so nervous that she stopped sobbing and looked at the man.

This person is really dark, even darker than himself!

There was no light in the room but it was still bright, but I couldn't see the man's face clearly.

Sean hurriedly made a silent gesture towards them and whispered:

"Don't be nervous! I'm here to save you!"

He came to the queen's side in small steps and looked up and down at the queen and her two daughters.

The queen is indeed getting old, and the younger daughter is too young, but the eldest daughter is quite good, with a good figure and okay looks.

"Are you telling the truth? A brave black warrior?" the eldest daughter said softly with a hint of surprise on her face.

What she said made Sean feel a little itchy.

The eldest princess thought that Sean was a black laborer loyal to their plantation owners on the island. Of course, decades ago, they were not called laborers, but black slaves.

Her servant when she was a child was a female slave, so she was always very polite to the slaves.

"Their guards are not tight. I walked all the way to your window and no one stopped me." Sean said confidently, "You just follow me."

Her Majesty pushed her two daughters toward Sean.

"You two follow him." She looked at her two daughters kindly.

But just as Sean led the two princesses to the window, he suddenly found that the Queen was sitting in her original position and had no intention of moving.

"Queen, aren't you going together?" Sean asked doubtfully.

The queen shook her head:

"If there is no one in the room, they will become suspicious. If the camp is searched immediately, you will not be able to escape. If I stay, I can cover you. They don't dare to do anything to me."

"Then you really don't understand what kind of person that person named Kameda is." Sean once again urged the queen to leave, but the two princesses saw that their mother refused to leave, and they themselves refused to leave.

"Let's go quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late." The queen refused to leave.

At this time, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Without saying a word, Sean pushed the two princesses out of the window.
