I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The sun set to the west reflected the clouds in the northern half of the dense sky. The sky began to be dyed with the color of the sun, and the light on the ground became gloomy as a result.

As Ogata wiped the sweat dripping down his chin, while looking at the huge wooden wall in front of him, he muttered:

"Finally arrived... same as Zong Hai said... the shortest wooden wall outside Fenghe Village has 3 or more..."

Ogata and others set off early in the morning, and it was dusk until now, and finally arrived at Fenghe Village, which was surrounded by wooden walls.

The reason it took so long to successfully reach under the wooden wall of Toyohwa Village was because Ogata and the others spent most of their time avoiding ogres.

From Tenmanji Temple to Toyohwa Village, Ogata and others encountered three waves of ogres.

Ogata and the others’ first priority now is to rush to Toyohwa Village, but they don’t have so much free time to waste on these ogres.

So for these three waves of cannibals, Ogata and others rely on the terrain to get rid of them all.

So it took a lot of time.

If there were no ogres in the way, Ogata and others would have arrived at Fenghe Village before noon.

"Ha...ha...ha...ha..." Matsumoto leaned on a tree next to it, gasping for breath.

"Hey, Matsumoto, how are you?" Matsumoto's violent gasp caused Makimura's concern.

"Ha...Also...Alright...Ha...It's just...I'm completely out of strength...Ha..."

"Hey, hey." Makimura said while patting Matsumoto's back, "Why is your stamina so bad? You lose your stamina after just two strokes."

"I'm a doctor..." Matsumoto said grimly, "different from you martial artists..."

"Okay..." Mamiya, who was looking at the back, murmured, "There is no ogre chasing over... It seems it should be safe here..."

Speaking of this, Mamiya paused.

Then he sighed lightly and said with emotion:

"Are those ogres... Unexpectedly, they are actually immortal beings..."

Today, it is the first time that Mamiya and Makimura have encountered an ogre.

When encountering the first wave of ogres, in order to personally test whether ogres are really unkillable, Mamiya and Makimura even rushed to experiment with their swords.

Later, I felt the horror of the ogre's characteristic that it can't be killed no matter how you kill it.

While Makimura took care of Matsumoto and Mamiya checked whether there were ogres in the back, Ogata and Amachi observed the tall wooden wall in front of them.

The wooden wall is rather rough.

Just tie thick wooden pillars together and stand up.

The length of each wooden post is not uniform, some are longer and some are shorter.

It can be seen that when making this wooden wall, the producers were very anxious and couldn't take care of cutting each wooden post to the same length, as long as it was long enough.

Behind the wooden wall, there is a wooden watchtower at intervals.

These wooden observation towers are slightly higher than the wooden walls. As long as you stand on them, you can see the scene and movement outside the walls.

Not far from Ogata and the others, there was a watchtower, but no one stood guard on it.

Although no one is standing guard there, Ogata and others have been hiding in a hidden bush in a regular manner.

Even if someone was standing on the observation tower, Ogata and others could not be found due to the perspective.

Looking at the huge wooden wall and the observation towers in front of him, Ah Ding whispered:

"It seems...There must be a carpenter with good craftsmanship in Fenghe Village."

"It's nothing more than the wooden wall, but those watchtowers are not something laymen can make."

"It's just that the layout of these watchtowers is quite amateurish. This amateur layout method has caused quite a lot of blind spots for the guards on the watchtower."

"For those who are good at sneaking in, this kind of wooden wall is a type that can easily escape surveillance and turn in."

"Toyowa Village is just an ordinary village after all." Ogata said with a wry smile, "Do you think there will be a defense master who is good at city defense? They can build such a huge wooden wall, and it can be equipped with such a large wooden wall. There are so many watch towers, I think it's already quite remarkable."

After observing the wooden wall of Toyowa Village, Ogata and Amachi turned around and started a battle meeting with Mamiya and others behind them.

"When it gets dark, I will sneak in with Amachi." Ogata said, "You three will be waiting outside the wall."

"A Ding and I will be back as soon as possible."

"Mamiya-sama, Makura-sama." With a pitiful appearance, Matsumoto grabbed Mamiya and Makura's sleeves, "Please protect them!"

"Don't worry, Brother Matsumoto." Makimura grabbed Matsumoto's shoulders, "There are no ogres in this place. It's very safe. Let's chat here while waiting for Brother Ogata and the others to come back!"

"I hope Fenghe Village can have more useful information about'immortality'..." Mamiya muttered.

"Compared to this, I want to know if there are any extra boats in Toyohwa Village." Ogata answered.

...

...

Ogata and others hid in the bushes, eating their respective rice **** to regain their strength, while silently waiting for the night to come.

Tonight is a cloudy day.

Layers of clouds cover the sky, lying between the sky and the earth.

After the night fell, Ah Ding looked up at the night sky, then whispered:

"Good luck... it's cloudy tonight... Ah Yi, ready to go."

"Yeah." As Ogata said, he silently took off the light green haori on his body and gave it to Makimura next to him for safekeeping.

The light green color is too bright, and it is easy to be spotted by people wearing it.

Except for this light green haori, the rest of Ogata's clothes are dark-colored, the kimono is dark blue, and the hakama and socks are black.

So as long as you take off Haori, Ogata's clothes are very suitable for use as a "sneak suit".

In addition to giving Haori to the Makura and the others for safekeeping, the things left to Makura and the others for safekeeping are the knives that Ogata has picked up since his arrival on the island.

Carrying a lot of knives on the back is naturally inconvenient to move and need to sneak as dexterously as possible.

Therefore, Ogata only kept the swords and wakasa at his waist, and all the other swords were temporarily handed over to the pastoral villages who remained on standby outside the wall for temporary storage.

"I wish you good luck~www.wuxiahere.com~ Mamiya blessed Ogata and Amachi softly.

"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "Amachi and I will go back soon."

After all, Okinawa turned his head too far, and together with Ah Ding, he observed the watchtower closest to them.

There is still no one standing guard on the watchtower.

After confirming that no one inside the wooden wall was monitoring the movement of Ogata and their area, Ogata waved to Amachi:

"A Ding, let's go."

"Ok."

Ogata and Amachi lowered their weights, rushed out of the bushes, and quickly ran under the wooden wall.

The two did not immediately start climbing the wall in a hurry.

Instead, stick your ears to the wooden wall first and listen to the movement inside the wall.
