Chapter 321: Chaos Erupts in Wano Country
"\"The Blaster\" Wendigo, where did that old guy go?"
"Tyrant Bear" Morant took large gulps of Wano Country's fine wine, his gaze fixed on "\"The Blaster\" Wendigo".
Over the past month, they have already enjoyed the benefits brought by Wano Country.
Various precious mineral deposits have brought significant revenue.
Coupled with the support of the Kurozumi Clan, they essentially lacked nothing.
Money and supplies were naturally delivered.
This was much more convenient than painstakingly plundering.
The only trouble was the constant attacks from Wano Country.
Relying on powerful firepower and the strength of numerous Pirates, they generally stabilized the situation and defended the Territory they had acquired.
Facing the true strong enemies from Wano Country itself, the many Pirate Crews also genuinely united, temporarily forming an alliance to jointly counter Wano Country's resistance.
Thanks to the intelligence support provided by the Kurozumi Clan, they obtained quite a few action plans from within Wano Country.
They secretly laid traps, eliminated thousands of Samurai, thwarted Wano Country's plan, and inflicted huge losses upon them.
Due to the heavy losses, Wano Country became apprehensive, suspecting there might be spies from the Kurozumi Clan within.
Therefore, they couldn't act rashly.
While investigating internally, they could only organize their forces to launch attacks repeatedly, simultaneously probing for intelligence on these foreign enemies.
The Pirates also sent people multiple times to try and blow up the bridge connecting Udon to the Flower Capital, turning Udon into a complete isolated island, but unfortunately, they were stopped by the Samurai stationed there.
"He probably went to find others?
My people say quite a few Pirate Crews are heading towards Wano Country.
That old guy must have attracted them."
Wendigo said in a deep voice, his gaze looking towards the Sky outside, lost in thought.
"That's good too."
This was what Morant hoped to see.
In terms of high-end combat power, Wano Country was indeed stronger, but they had more military strength and the advantage of munitions.
Especially the Kurozumi Clan, the number of Forces they have dispatched has now reached forty thousand.
Although their strength was somewhat weaker, they possessed ample guns and ammunition, which could cause extremely powerful lethality in large-scale wars.
Who knows how many Samurai have died from tiny bullets.
There were also landmines, hand grenades, tear gas, and various weapons; they were practically armed to the teeth.
As for the number of Samurai in Wano Country, there were only about forty to fifty thousand in total.
With Pirates constantly sending people by ship to attack various Areas of Wano Country, it was impossible for Wano Country to dispatch all of its military strength.
The order in each Area also needed to be maintained by Samurai.
In the past, this might not have been necessary, but the situation is now different.
There were still many Bandits, and the Illegal Forces within Wano Country had not been completely cleared out.
They were all hidden, still conducting illegal business in secret.
Greed moves people's hearts; how could they easily give up?
Moreover, many people had no way back.
To survive, they could only keep going.
Furthermore, due to the operations of the Kurozumi Clan, Kuri is currently not as peaceful as it was after Kozuki Oden's careful governance, because the difficulty of governance is dozens of times greater.
Many places still maintained a situation of chaos.
The more Pirates there were, the greater their confidence in dealing with Wano Country.
Currently, they still possessed a strong sense of crisis.
By now, several Pirates they knew, who had decent strength, had died at the hands of these Samurai.
Meanwhile, in the Flower Capital, on the other side of the Udon bridge.
Many Daimyo and the Shogun gathered once again, but this time they were joined by Kozuki Sukiyaki's son, the Daimyo of Kuri, Kozuki Oden.
"Shogun, what should we do next?
These foreign Factions, the Pirates, have overall strength weaker than ours, but those unknown weapons are causing us a lot of trouble."
Shimotsuki Yasuie asked with a frown.
"As time passes, their numbers seem to be increasing."
"Ah!
The situation in various Areas seems to be getting chaotic again."
Kozuki Sukiyaki finished speaking with a sigh.
How could this kind of dark business be so easily eliminated completely?
When they dispatched military strength to Udon, without the suppression of a large number of Samurai, these hidden Illegal Forces jumped out again.
Or rather, they were already present, but they were acting more openly.
The situation, which was originally somewhat stable, had a tendency to become chaos once again.
However, Kozuki Sukiyaki was not foolish.
He saw clearly the harm brought by both the foreign Factions and the internal chaos.
A serious light flashed in his eyes.
"Those weapons can only threaten ordinary Samurai.
True elites won't be affected if they are careful."
"Next, we will form an elite Samurai Troops and launch a fierce attack on these foreign Factions.
It would be best if we can resolve them in one go.
If not, we can also greatly weaken their strength."
"After that, we will focus our energy on governing the interior of Wano Country.
Once we overcome this period of difficulty and the situation is completely stable, we will then expel these foreign Invaders in one go."
"Yes, Shogun."
Hearing Kozuki Sukiyaki's plan, the others nodded in agreement.
This was the best approach.
They also realized that four hundred years of isolation policy had greatly weakened the overall strength of Wano Country.
They had been far too lax.
Being easily targeted and invaded by these foreign Factions was absolutely a shameful matter.
Next, the entire Wano Country must become stronger.
Currently, the strength of the external enemies is still within the range they can resolve.
But who can guarantee?
Will even stronger enemies appear next?
Regardless of whether they can resolve the enemies this time, they must first stabilize the internal situation next.
To expel outsiders, one must first pacify the interior.
They all understood this principle.
After a while longer, the planted grain can be harvested.
Without the oppression of hunger, the situation will naturally stabilize.
Under the significant attraction of rewards for reporting, during this period, they gained another batch of targets that needed to be cleared out.
This time, they would thoroughly clear out these scumbags.
