I, permanently add attributes, ascend to become a god

2. The leadership faction headed by the eldest lady Shikata Kawanabu, to whom the guards and samurai are loyal, has an absolute reputation among the people due to their natural aristocratic status. As long as they do not commit suicide, their ruling position will not be shaken.

3. The management faction, mainly composed of former Xianjinyi senior executives, was unwilling to be dictated by a young lady and had always wanted to take back power. They also had great prestige among the people.

4. The civilian faction mainly composed of the protagonist, steam craftsmen, refugees, train drivers...the largest number, but the organization is loose.

Finally, there is Lin Chen himself, a lone ranger with good moral character and outstanding swordsmanship. As the respected Lord Dawn, he enjoys considerable reputation among the people.

"The best time to seize power is tonight. The easiest way is to follow the plot progress."

"It just requires a few sacrifices, but for the main mission, to protect more people, we must seize power from indecisive people like Sifang Chuanchangpu."

There was helplessness in Lin Chen's eyes. Now that he had made the decision, he might as well go all out!

I just hope that the arrangements made in advance can reduce casualties.

--------------------------------

When the sun went down, almost everyone except the guards and maintenance personnel gathered in the middle of the U. The people piled firewood together, lit a bonfire, and placed some flags around it.

An old man dressed as a monk, wearing a cassock, sat in front of the fire and chanted scriptures for the deceased, throwing prayers into the fire. The civilians around him put their hands together, closed their eyes, and prayed silently for the dead. This disaster caused many people to lose their parents, wives, and children.

They hold memorial services here, hoping that the dead souls can rest in peace in their hometown.

Lin Chen sat on the roof of the car and silently watched the memorial service while suppressing sobs and tears. The dead have rested in peace, but the living must continue to live with hope.

"Where did Lord Chenxi come from? Why did you come to Xianjinyi?"

A beautiful figure came and sat down beside Lin Chen. Lin Chen looked at the tears on her pretty face that had not yet dried, and answered casually, "She came from a very far place, and traveled all over the world."

"Master Chenxi has no relatives anymore?"

"I am an orphan who was adopted. When I finish my travels, I will go home. My family is waiting for me."

Although Shifangchuan Acorus didn't quite understand how Lin Chen could travel around in a place full of Kabane, she didn't ask much.

She smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to treat Miss No Name like this..."

"You should say these words to Wuming instead of me. To be honest, you are really bad as a commander. You have no way to stop your subordinates. You don't have a decisive heart and can only go with the flow."

Lin Chen interrupted bluntly, saying that Sifang Chuanchangpu had a kind personality and outstanding abilities, but he was placed in the wrong position and was unqualified as a leader.

"I just hope that everyone can survive and create a better future together!"

Looking at the eldest lady with holy light in her eyes, to be honest, Lin Chen felt annoyed with stupidity.

Ok?

As he was speaking, a noise was heard.

Lin Chen and Sifang Chuanchangpu were attracted by five sneaky civilians not far away. They were holding hoes, sickles, etc. in their hands and walking towards the box where Wuming was at the rear of the car.

"Do you want to go ahead and kill these Kabane?"

"What are you doing?"

Lin Chen and Sifangchuan Changpu called them to stop, and looking at the weapons in their hands, they could easily guess what these people were thinking.

Sifang Chuan Acorus said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Lord Chenxi, I will definitely persuade them to give up this idea."

"It would be wrong for me to attack Miss Nobody!"

"Don't stop me, all the damn Kabane should be killed!" The civilians who were stopped were still shouting.

Zheng! ! !

Lin Chen drew his sword.

The dazzling sword light slashed across the necks of these people one by one, and the shouting civilians fell down unwillingly, holding their throats.

Sifang Chuan Changpu said angrily: "Why kill them? Give me some time, I will definitely persuade them. As long as we communicate well, there will be no problem!"

"Your remarks are hilarious."

The sword flower bloomed, the sword body shook, and drops of blood stuck to the fair face of the rich lady.

Sifangchuan Changpu's pupils contracted. She didn't know when the Qinghong Sword had stopped in front of her.

The young man's calm voice sounded.

"Fools who can't see the situation clearly have no need to live! Whether it's these ignorant civilians or you, I don't understand how you have the courage to challenge the strong. You actually want to trap Wuming in the carriage and let you control him. You are so afraid of Kabane, but you are not afraid of Wuming, whose strength is far superior to Kabane. Wuming can kill hundreds of Kabane in 2 minutes. How long do you think it will take Wuming to kill you idiots?"

"Five minutes. Wuming can kill all of you chattering idiots in five minutes at most. Do you expect a steam gun that can't even kill Kabane to deal with Wuming?"

"The weak who challenge the strong should die. You must know that even I can't stop Wuming from taking off your head, Miss Ayame!"

In the original plot, Shifangchuan Acorus used his reputation + the charm of the protagonist and his self-torture skills to shake these people's minds.

Lin Chen did not leave any room for these dead people. He did not have the energy to correct the thoughts of these most extreme and unreasonable idiots.

I really don't understand how five losers who can't even beat a Kabane dare to use hatchets to kill Wuming...

Ignoring Sifangchuan Acorus who was standing there stupidly, Lin Chen took out a bottle and collected the blood of these people.

Then he disappeared into the open space. He still had a farewell ceremony to participate in.

The memorial ceremony was coming to an end. The children were chasing and playing in the square, while the women were watching with smiles on their sides.

Because food was scarce, soup could effectively fill the stomach, so people used campfires to bake dumpling soup.

The civilians, who had been tired all day, chatted while holding their dumplings. The dead had passed away, but the living had to continue living.

Lin Chen's gaze did not linger on the crowd. He was looking at the pregnant woman who was praying silently in front of the campfire.

She had been praying for a long time, from the beginning to the end of the memorial service, when the crowd dispersed.

She was still praying, perhaps the woman hoped that God would favor her and expected a miracle to happen.

Lin Chen sighed: "But the reason why a miracle is a miracle is precisely because it almost never happens."

The praying woman suddenly trembled, covered her chest, and moved from kneeling to lying on the ground.

"Is it no longer possible..."

"sorry..."

"Mom couldn't give birth to you!"

The woman muttered while holding her belly.

"You have done very well. May you have a safe journey in reincarnation and enjoy eternal peace."

At some point, Lin Chen had come behind her.

"Lord Chenxi..."

"Thank you for the food," the woman endured the pain and forced a smile at Lin Chen.

She already had a guess in her mind that Lord Chenxi might have known that she was infected as early as when she was on the train.

"what!!!"

The woman suddenly stood up, the collar of her kimono loosened, revealing her blood-red heart.

Lin Chen was a rare strong man, and many people noticed that he came behind a woman, and they also noticed the blood-red heart.

"Kabane!!!"

Fear surged into people's hearts, attracting the attention of everyone in the square.

Lin Chen looked at the staggering woman and slowly drew his sword.

"farewell!"

The tip of the sword broke through from the back to the chest.

The woman next to him shouted, "Master Chenxi, Miss Xinno is pregnant!"

"Is your name Nobuno?"

"I know that she was scratched before she got on the bus and now she is beyond saving."

With a flick of the Qinghong Sword, Lin Chen threw Nobuno's body into the fire. According to the plot, Kabane would catch up soon and there would be no time to bury it. Rather than leaving the body exposed in the wilderness, it would be better to live forever in the flames.

People looked at Lin Chen in awe, and no one dared to speak.

In the anime, if Wuming kills Nobuno, he will be called a murderer and monster.

People are afraid of Lord Chenxi, but dare to scold Wuming, whose strength is far superior to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked at the rising flames with deep eyes. It was time to begin.

Dangdangdang...

The alarm bell rang and Kabane arrived.

Chapter 17: Seizing Power and Controlling the Iron Fortress

As the crowd gathered, the extremely tempting human scent drifted around with the wind, and the surrounding Kabane were gradually surrounding here.

The people, who had already been frightened for a long time, heard the alarm and became extremely panicked, rushing towards the Kabutejo Castle frantically.

The warriors and Lin Chen resisted the invasion of Kabane on the front line. Lin Chen's sharp swordsmanship made the people cheer, and shouts of "Long live Lord Chenxi" were heard one after another.

However, Wuming and Ikoma were forbidden by the samurai captain Arakawa Kibitsuchi to join the battle, on the grounds that he was afraid of an attack from behind. The two were locked in the last carriage and were not allowed to enter or leave.

Because they had set up guards in the surrounding area during the previous break, Kabane's approach was discovered in time, and without losing anyone, the Iron Fortress successfully broke through.

However, the easiest place to breach a strong fortress is inside.

Kabane's recurrence caused resentment among the people, and under the manipulation of some people with ulterior motives, a wave of public opinion began to mobilize.

"It's these Kabaneri that attracted the Kabane!"

"They should be executed!"

"Get them both out of the car!"

Countless resentments were directed towards the two people trapped in the last carriage.

Obviously, it is impossible to handle this with Sifangchuan Acorus's gentle personality.

What's more, she was being besieged by her subordinates.

"Is Lord Acorus here?"

"Why didn't I see her?"

A group of people wearing purple turbans broke into the main control room and rudely asked Ayame to come out of the lounge. They were high-ranking officials who held the management power of the Iron Fortress, and they could not tolerate a young girl suppressing them.

"How do you plan to take responsibility for this matter?"

"It's because we brought Kabaneri along that this happened!"

The high officials questioned Shigao Chuan Ayame bluntly, saying that the responsibility for bringing Kabane was all on the young lady who was not good at judging people.

Jiuzhi Laiqi was furious and said, "You rude people, how can you speak to the heir of the Shifangchuan family like this?"

The leading official smiled and said, "Everyone is in danger now. We all think it's a little dangerous to continue to hand over the Iron Fortress to you, the commander!"

Jiuzhi Laiqi was extremely angry: "Do you know what you are doing? How can you talk like that?"

Sifang Chuanchangpu said in a depressed mood: "Indeed, I may not be capable enough..."

"Then! Please hand over the master key immediately!"

The officials pressed him mercilessly, and after hesitating for a while, Sifang Chuanchangpu obediently handed over the master key.

"Very good, the Kabutojo will be under our command!"

"Driver, the route has been changed to the mountain road!"

The official walked up to the podium, keys in hand, and loudly announced that he had gained leadership with only a little pressure. This rich girl was really naive.

Shifangchuan Ayame's face changed drastically and he said: "There are many highlands on both sides of the mountain road. There is a danger of being invaded by Kabane..."

The official said contemptuously: "This road is a shortcut to Jingang Guo, and I am the commander now!"

...

Lin Chen watched as Sifang Chuanchangpu was seized from the sidelines, confused as to what this woman was thinking.

Although the lord of the castle was dead, her guard leader Kyuchi Kurusu and samurai leader Arakawa Kibitsuchi firmly controlled the two armed forces of the Kabutetsu Castle. She was also the only heir to the Yohogawa family. Even her destination, Kongōgō, was only possible because her uncle was a senior councilor of the shogunate, so she was able to let Kongōgō take her in.

Sifang Chuanchangpu has orthodoxy, military force, and connections. This is why Lin Chen cannot seize power by force. He is not Wuming and possesses absolute military force. The steam gun cannot kill Wuming, but it is no problem to kill him.

If you don't agree to take this route, then just take the key back. Your guards and samurai are just there to do nothing, right?
