28: Chapter 28: The Yamamoto Group, 10,000 Enemy Reinforcements! The Taming of Horses.
Compared to the unsophisticated and boisterous wild women...
These two female lords, nurtured by modern civilization, had a unique charm of their own.
Especially since they knew how to cook, they could satisfy Xu Xuan's picky palate; after all, he really couldn't appreciate the cooking skills of primitive people.
After devouring several meat and egg rolls and drinking two large bowls of freshly squeezed fruit juice, Xu Xuan still wanted more.
The afternoon sun felt warm on his body, and the wind blowing across the plains brought a hint of coolness.
He really wanted to do nothing but lie in a place like this, living out the rest of his life carefree with no shortage of food or drink.
Watching those wild people laughing foolishly without a care in the world, he realized that ignorance truly was the greatest bliss and the easiest state to satisfy.
However, Xu Xuan quickly calmed down; after all, his current environment didn't allow him to remain idle.
It was mainly because he had already issued all his orders, and the tribe had no new matters for him to handle for the time being; otherwise, Xu Xuan wouldn't be vacationing here so leisurely.
Happy times are always short-lived. As he enjoyed himself, he checked the progress.
Chi You had just reported that they had already extracted all the easily accessible ores from the Goblin lair. They didn't bother wasting time on the remaining scattered fragments, as the returns were minimal.
Under Chi You's leadership, the 2,500 newly joined wild people were felling trees on a large scale and building earthen kilns to fire copperware.
Even from over ten kilometers away, Xu Xuan could see vast swaths of trees being cleared.
Just as everything was progressing according to Xu Xuan's expectations, a message in the chat channel suddenly caught his attention.
[Tokyo Chat Channel]
[Yamamoto Aratora: I heard that the world's top-ranked Lone Wolf Lord is nearby?]
[Tokugawa Ieyasu: That's right. Several of our lords have already died at his hands.]
[Yamamoto Aratora: These people from the Xia Country are going too far. Instead of farming peacefully at the start, they actually dared to invade our territory! I, Yamamoto Aratora, will bring ten thousand followers to support you!]
[Sumishita Asuka: Your Excellency, could you be... the boss of the Yamamoto-gumi? I think I've heard of your organization!]
[Yamamoto Aratora: That's all in the past. Now that our Yamamoto-gumi has come to the Lord Continent, we must naturally stand up for the common people! Don't worry, the Yamamoto-gumi will take care of your grievances! I'm mobilizing ten thousand people to support you.]
[Tokugawa Ieyasu: That's wonderful! With this, the allied forces will have over ten thousand people. Won't it be easy to flatten that Xu Xuan? He only has around two hundred people!]
Seeing that the underworld organization Yamamoto-gumi had integrated into a Yamamoto Tribe and was actually coming to assist them, Tokugawa Ieyasu was so happy he could laugh in his sleep.
The other lords were also exceptionally excited upon hearing this news.
Ten thousand reinforcements were arriving, and their leader was the famous Yamamoto Aratora.
An allied force of fifteen thousand against over two hundred—the advantage was his. Tokugawa Ieyasu had never fought such a well-equipped battle in his life!
But a moment later, Yamamoto Aratora added a sentence.
[Yamamoto Aratora: However, after the war, this Floating Island will belong to our Yamamoto Tribe. None of you have any objections, right?]
Upon hearing these words, Tokugawa Ieyasu shuddered.
They had celebrated too early and forgotten what kind of person Yamamoto Aratora was.
In Japan, this guy was someone who had influence in both the legal and illegal worlds.
In Japan, violent organizations like the Yamamoto-gumi are legal; they monopolize construction companies, as well as the adult entertainment and film industries.
Many Japanese actresses were forced into the adult film industry because these violent organizations pressured them over debts.
There was no way this group would step into these murky waters and help for nothing; they must have seen the benefits of the Floating Island and wanted to seize it for themselves.
But in the face of absolute strength and the outlaws of the Yamamoto Tribe, Tokugawa Ieyasu was nothing but a small fry.
What did he dare to say? Did he dare to utter a single word of complaint?
[Tokugawa Ieyasu: Everything will be according to Mr. Yamamoto's arrangements. From now on, I, Tokugawa Ieyasu, will follow your orders!]
Looking at the chat logs, Mio panicked a little.
The high school girl, who was currently massaging Xu Xuan's back, became nervous. "Sect Master, the enemy has fifteen thousand people. What should we do?"
Even the dull housewife, Tokugawa Yoshiko, realized that it would be impossible to win in this situation.
"Sect Master, it seems we have no chance of winning this battle. Should we move?"
The lady showed a troubled expression. After all, she and her daughter were now Xu Xuan's vassals; if Xu Xuan ordered them to their deaths, they would have to go through with it.
Only Xu Xuan remained calm.
Fifteen thousand enemies against his own two thousand seven hundred-plus people; it was indeed a bit overwhelming.
But it wasn't unwinnable; it depended on the opponent's level of technology.
If they were still in the Stone Age, even with fifteen thousand people, they might not necessarily be his match!
Because he possessed the Floating Island and held the geographical advantage, one spearmen could take on ten.
What he feared most was this newly emerged Yamamoto Aratora; he didn't know how far his technology had developed.
These Japanese mobsters were ruthless, but there were bound to be capable people among them. If they had mastered advanced archery techniques, they would pose a threat to Xu Xuan.
Ten thousand more enemies... it really was a bit tricky.
Xu Xuan stroked his chin, contemplating whether to stay or run.
If he ran, at most he would just give up this piece of land he had just occupied; there wouldn't really be any loss.
If he fought and won, crushing the morale of these japanese people in a single battle would be excellent, ensuring they wouldn't dare to cause trouble again.
He still needed to find a way to figure out the other side's technological level. Right now, both sides were in the fog of war, unaware of each other's specific strength...
Just as Xu Xuan was thinking, a silly, boisterous voice came from the distance.
"Ahahaha! Fun! So much fun!!!"
The sound of galloping hooves echoed as Hu Zi Mei, wearing Animal Skin Armor, came riding a black horse from afar.
Her strong, snow-white thighs, contrasted against the black horse, were quite a sight to behold.
Riding the tall horse, Hu Zi Mei laughed loudly, "Lord! Lord, I tamed this big fellow nearby! It's so much fun, but I don't know what it's called."
Clearly, with Hu Zi Mei's meager vocabulary, she didn't know the name of the creature.
Her action made Xu Xuan's eyes light up. "You tamed a horse?"
"Yeah, isn't this the Animal Taming Technique I learned before?"
Hearing Hu Zi Mei's matter-of-fact answer, Xu Xuan immediately remembered.
When he conquered other tribes earlier, the system had rewarded him with a beast-taming skill, allowing every wild person in the tribe to know how to tame animals.
Good, good, good. Everyone's basically a Druid now.
Looking at this wild horse, Xu Xuan's mind immediately began to race!
With horses, he could train Scouts and go reconnoiter the enemy's situation!
