Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 226 ~ Intentions Shin Buya
“Stop...! If you want to pass, hand over your possessions!”
Ten people carrying weapons of long swords suddenly appeared from behind the trees, they blocked the path of Tan Hao and the others.
Not only did ten people, dozens of people who had the same appearance and weapons appear behind Lan Lihua, they were as if besieging the three of them so that there was no escape gap.
“It turns out it's true what you said, Hua'er! Hafe ... You don't be rash anymore.” Tan Hao told Lan Lihua, he knew very well how Lan Lihua would always put forward emotions in the face of the enemy.
Fen Fang just silently observed the dozens of people who were behind then observed the ten people at the front. It only took one observation, Fen Fang was instantly able to recognize who those people were.
Even if they are experts in disguise but actually not scary for him, Fen Fang, who has been in the cold-blooded mercenary world for decades, has had hundreds of relationships with various groups and organizations, especially a kingdom.
‘These people, how did it get here? Since when did Taiyo warriors dare to leave their hometowns? It seems like this is unusual!’ Fen Fang drew the conclusion if they had come not just to rob or hunt ferocious beasts.
“You guys, if you want to safely hand over the money and resources you have! We cannot guarantee but we will provide protection to pass through these mountains.”
Tan Hao stared intently at one of them who spoke while brandishing his sword, while the other dozens prepared with their respective swords.
‘Hao Hao, you could have finished them off in one fell swoop but it's of no benefit to us. They were a collection of masterless samurai warriors or in their country called Ronin! I also don't know what happened until they were here.!’ Fen Fang explained briefly that if a Ronin were supposed to kill himself if he lost their master or was thrown out, the self-esteem of a Ronin could not be understood by outsiders.
Usually a masterless samurai warrior would seclude himself but here there were dozens even according to Lan Lihua there were thousands. It shows that this group of ronin holds a revenge mission that was successfully recruited by people who have high power in their home country.
‘Oh is there something like that? I didn't expect it, but what are they doing here? Robbing people who pass through the most dangerous mountains, they should be smart enough to assess the situation but here they are like forcing a disguise,’ Tan Hao can immediately draw conclusions about the existence of a dozen warriors who surrounded it.
“What is the master chairman of this group? If yes, I am willing to give up all my possessions that are in this ring, but I have one request, how?” Tan Hao made an offer while revealing his dimensional ring.
“Kakak..!”
Tan Hao simply smiled then nodded back at Lan Lihua's greeting intent questioning her decision. He gave an answer through a smile and a nod to Lan Lihua calm down and handed it all to herself.
Yi Jin who from the beginning was just silently observing, was seen looking lazily at the group of people while occasionally yawning.
While one of the samurai swordsmen who spoke represented the other was made speechless when he saw clearly the ring on Tan Hao's finger.
‘It ... The Dimension Ring! The highest storage area, even in the two continents there are only three pieces. How could this guy have it?’ the inner samurai swordsman who had the somewhat strange hair pigtails was.
The four types of rings could be easily recognized by the jade color in the center of the circle.
“Alright! What is your request, say it clearly!”
Tan Hao smiled widely, “What are your goals here? Tell the truth and you will enjoy unlimited amounts of money in your age!”
All of the warriors knew very well what Tan Hao said was indeed reasonable considering as they had learned, if the dimensional ring had seven spaces and each space could be said to be almost limitless.
But everyone was silent when they heard the terms of it. They seemed confused about how much more the person who spoke on behalf of the others, he seemed to have changed his gaze long enough between the ring and the sword before finally sighing heavily.
“Alright, I'll explain!”
Fen Fang smiled faintly while Lan Lihua looked uncomfortable. But Tan Hao smiled widely, he did not think his words were trusted just like that.
The person introduces himself before starting to explain the outline. Kosuke Ryu says he came to this place with the Shogun Emperor's crown prince to meet Prince Li Fen.
He said Crown Prince Shin Buya wanted to take his own father's coup and met Prince Li Fen for help. The samurai troops he recruited were also concerned with helping Prince Li Fen gain the King's seat, as well as to compile the power in this place before returning to the Land of Taiyo.
Fen Fang did not seem surprised to hear that, as he had expected it from the start. Even though he no longer has a relationship with the Shogun Emperor but he has an opinion about the Emperor who has the real name Mugi Wara is a wise person despite his very hard and intolerant nature in the world crime thing.
Tan Hao himself was quite able to understand, the position of Prince Li Fen and Shin Buya could be said to be similar. That was the reason Shin Buya dared to come and offer a deal.
Kosuke Ryu himself is one of the youngest Ronin, if not for his family he may have committed suicide. Shin Buya came at the right time, which is why he followed the crown prince who had that indeterminate temperament. A similar situation was experienced by other samurai.
“... We do not want to be filthy, but kindness throws us into the darkest abyss! There is no way back, the nickname Ronin is no longer attached to us because we have a new master even though it is not!” Kosuke Ryu ended his explanation.
Tan Hao, who had originally intended to dig up information and then slaughter them, was now pityed after hearing the short story of their lives.
He asked for Fen Fang's opinion through a glance and only answered a thin smile while playing his beard which is now no longer haired.
“Alright, I'm quite satisfied with your story! But I'm sorry, I didn't intend to give you this ring. But because of your story, I will give each one a resource pill! And you just have to assume there was never this meeting!”
