Thanks to Kojiro Akaishi's contribution, the rebels' military expenses were temporarily solved.

With the strong assistance of the Western Factory, the rebels began to recruit soldiers extensively on Bayun Island and Haiji Island, offering generous treatment - a monthly salary of up to 50,000 Mora, and providing huge subsidies for casualties.

Many people who couldn't find a job were tempted.

For the vast majority of Inazuma people, a job with a monthly salary of 50,000 mora is undoubtedly a dream high-paying position that is very exciting.

In Port Fude, only a few skilled workers with outstanding work abilities can earn so much.

As a result, the registration office was crowded with people who came to register.

After rigorous screening, Maplehara Manye finally accepted four hundred new recruits, who merged with the one hundred volunteers who had joined voluntarily before to form a resistance army of five hundred people.

Next, the Xichang Guards conducted a period of military training on this rebel force and transformed them into a modern force.

..............

Half a month passed, and the anxiously waiting Kujo Takayuki finally noticed something unusual. He hurriedly ordered a search of Akaishi Kojiro's residence.

The result made him furious - all of Akaishi Kojiro's family had left, leaving only a few servants to guard the empty house.

By this time, he had realized that Kojiro Akaishi had swallowed his 100 million Mora and went to Fude Port to enjoy life.

This 100 million Mora was originally the military expenditure for the shogunate army!

Kujo Takayuki quickly ordered people to go to Fude Port to hunt down Akaishi Kojiro.

However, all this was doomed to be in vain. As soon as his pursuit team got off the passenger ship, they were intercepted by the Western Factory's guards and "invited" to have tea.

In order to raise military funds again, Kujo Takayuki shamelessly asked Hiiragi Shinsuke for a loan again, but was firmly rejected by Hiiragi Shinsuke.

Faced with this dilemma, Kujo Takayuki had no choice but to take extreme measures.

He ordered to increase taxes on the people of Inazuma Castle, and the taxes were collected in one go for three years.

This move immediately aroused strong resentment and boycott from the people.

They could not accept such a heavy burden and flocked to the castle tower to protest.

The shogunate army severely suppressed the people's protests.

Several civilians who took the lead were executed on the spot on the false charge of "violating eternal justice", and the protest was eventually suppressed bloodily.

Kujo Sara, who witnessed the entire protest and suppression, has reached his limit of patience.

She rushed into the Tenryo Bugyosho with great rage, confronted Kujo Takayuki, and asked in a stern voice: "Sir Kujo Takayuki, is everything you have done really in line with the Shogun's eternal justice?"

"Of course." Kujo Takayuki glanced at her coldly and replied with disdain, "Everything I do is to uphold the eternal justice of the general.

If you have any objections to this, we can go to the emperor to argue and let the general make the final decision."

Kujo Sara knew that the chances of winning the debate before the emperor were slim, but she still held out one last glimmer of hope for General Raiden.

Therefore, she resolutely decided to accept the challenge of debating before the emperor.

But the decision was not without cost.

Once she lost the argument before the emperor, she would have to obey all of Kujo Takayuki's orders unconditionally and would not disobey in any way.

A day later, the imperial meeting was held again as scheduled.

Kujo Sara stood in the center of the castle tower and described the current difficulties and sufferings of the people of Inazuma. He then sincerely requested General Raiden to leave the castle tower and go and see for himself the real living conditions of the people.

However, her request was jointly refuted by Kujo Takayuki, Hiiragi Shinsuke, and Kamisato Ayato.

They fiercely criticized Kujo Sara's remarks with harsh words.

"Under the eternal justice of the General, our people are clearly living a happy and stable life." Kujo Takayuki said sternly, "How come in your words, it has become a scene of misery for the people?"

Hiiragi Shinsuke followed closely behind, accusing him with a plausible argument: "Those unruly people, for their own selfish interests, openly obstructed the implementation of the eternal justice of the general. Shouldn't they receive the punishment they deserve?"

Kamisato Ayato even declared in a righteous tone: "Kujo Sara, you can't completely deny the eternal justice of General Raiden because of the misfortune of a few people!"

The three of them seemed to have mastered some kind of mysterious code, and they always mentioned the eternal justice, as if they had become the most loyal defenders of the eternal justice. They stood on the moral high ground and criticized and refuted Kujo Sara's remarks.

At this moment, Kujo Sara felt that the scene before him was extremely absurd.

She was defeated again in this debate before the emperor, and her defeat was more complete than the last time.

General Lei Dian even criticized her harshly, saying that she did not understand the eternal righteousness at all.

These words were like a heavy hammer, shattering the last bit of hope in her heart.

Kujo Sara's heart was instantly blown through by the cold wind, becoming cold and stiff.

.....................................

One month later, the sun was shining brightly in the early morning.

Lin Yide sat in a convertible and went to the opening ceremony of the new real estate project "Fu Da Garden".

Halfway through the journey, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill at the back of his head. Experience told him that the "training point" had come to him again.

Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately activated his four layers of elemental shields. Each layer shone with a different color of light, like four layers of protection tightly surrounding him.

At this moment, a silver spike flew from behind like a meteor and arrived in an instant.

At the critical moment when the silver spike was about to penetrate the last layer of elemental shield, it was blocked steadily by the black sword swung out in time by Lin Yide.

The attacker Dotore witnessed this scene and roared angrily: "Why can this guy always escape my assassination!" His voice revealed a deep sense of frustration.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce battle broke out suddenly.

This was the seventh time that Lin Yide had sliced ​​through Dotole. He was already familiar with Dotole's moves and methods.

Even without the assistance of Lei Dapao and Fengyuan Manye, he could handle it with ease and clear the battle alone without any damage.

Just ten minutes later, Dotore's slices dissipated unwillingly under Lin Yide's black sword.

After the battle, the system only rewarded 1600 experience points.

According to this decreasing trend, Lin Yide estimates that the reward for the next kill may be only 800 points.
