Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 829

Just as he was about to put away his automatic rifle and ammunition, Shen Lin came to his senses and quickly followed and asked:

"Master, we just slaughtered so many Japanese pirates. Wouldn't it be too dangerous to continue staying in Heian-kyō?"

"There are still hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates here! If we stay here, we will probably be surrounded by them."

"A weapon like the Vulcan cannon is only effective at a distance. If surrounded, it's useless."

Shen Lin was not afraid of danger, he was afraid that Wei Wu would fall into danger, so he spoke up to dissuade him.

However, after he finished speaking, Wei Wu just shook his head and pointed at the corpses on the ground in front of him.

"We killed tens of thousands of people. It may seem like a lot to you, but to me, it's not enough, not nearly enough."

"There are still hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirate soldiers left. Lan Yu has no way of engaging them in a head-on battle."

"If we can't eliminate more Japanese pirates, then what we did tonight will only be killing a few people."

Shen Lin also knew that what Wei Wu said was right, but to him, it didn’t matter how many Japanese pirates were killed.

Even victory or failure in the war is not important, as long as Wei Wu is safe.

So after Wei Wu finished speaking, Shen Lin immediately stated the reasons for his opposition.

"Master, we killed so many Japanese pirates tonight. I'm afraid they've been frightened and don't dare to fight the navy."

"Even if the high-ranking Japanese pirates wanted to start a war, the lower-level soldiers would be afraid. If they were forced to do so, they would definitely mutiny."

"By then, there won't be any need for General Lan Yu to take action. Heian-kyō will be in chaos on its own, and the navy will only need to clean up the mess."

Wei Wu knew that Shen Lin had something else to say, so he didn't interrupt, but just nodded to signal him to continue.

Seeing this, Shen Lin no longer hesitated and continued:

"But if we stay here and are discovered by the shogunate, they will definitely use us to rally their troops."

"Now the Japanese pirates are afraid of us, but they also hate us. They want to tear us into pieces."

"If we die here, the Japanese pirates will no longer be afraid and scared, and their morale will be stronger."

"Master, leaving is a hundred benefits and no harm, but staying is harmful and no benefit!"

After Shen Lin finished speaking, he stared at Wei Wu with his eyes wide open, but he did not see the result he wanted.

Wei Wu looked into his eyes and shook his head slowly.

"Don't think that we can scare the Japanese pirates off by killing so many people tonight. Only the low-level soldiers will be scared."

"The superiors have countless ways to make the inferiors submit. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the shogunate will not allow the soldiers to mutiny."

After hearing what Wei Wu said, Shen Lin knew that he could not persuade his young master.

So after a moment's silence, he spoke again.

"In that case, Master, you can tell us what you want to do. Go find General Lan first..."

Before Shen Lin could finish his words, Wei Wu waved his hand to interrupt him.

"No need to say more, I have my own plan, you just need to do as I say, this is an order!!"

Shen Lin had no choice but to respond to Wei Wu's orders while sighing secretly in his heart.

"Yes, Master, I understand!"

Seeing that Shen Lin no longer insisted, Wei Wu nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, he also understood Shen Lin's concerns, and he also knew that what Shen Lin said was right.

If they stayed in Heian-kyō, once their whereabouts were exposed, things would definitely develop as Shen Lin said.

But Wei Wu himself had his own reasons for staying, which was to try his best to kill all the Japanese pirates and end the war as soon as possible.

If he took Shen Lin and the others back now, he could indeed unleash the power of the Vulcan machine gun on the battlefield.

However, once the Japanese pirates are beaten without any chance to fight back, they will definitely flee back into the city and wait for the navy to enter the city to fight again.
