I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The paper was revised in advance, so this chapter was also sent out in advance.

　　 Let’s share science with everyone—the big tube in reality is not so exaggerated. This article has slightly exaggerated the power of the big tube. After all, this book is semi-overhead, and every top master can count on one hundred, so I think it is reasonable to increase the power of the firearm.

As I mentioned in the chapters of the previous chapter, there are many types of big barrels. Some big barrels are similar to artillery, have wheels for moving, and have firepower that is not inferior to real artillery. Some big barrels are similar to bazookas. Lin used them. The big tube is the "bazooka-type big tube". In the Baidu Encyclopedia of the big tube, it has been shown what these two types of big tubes look like.

　　 In addition to the large tube, there is actually a middle tube, which is a large tube with a much smaller power.

　　*******

　　Since just now, the ninjas who are responsible for guarding the "Soul Village" have heard the shelling.

　　 These bursts of shelling made them all look confused or panicked.

　　 But because there was no order from the superior to be delivered, I didn't dare to act rashly, and only dared to continue to perform the duty of guarding the "dirty village".

　　 But just now, "Guicun" was not peaceful here.

　　 Because Ogata and Amachi killed him.

　　 After all members agreed to Amachi’s plan to "rescue the ‘dirt’", after discussion, it was decided that Ogata and Amachi would be responsible for this task.

　　 So just after they broke into Shiranui, Ogata and Amachi split up with Lin and others.

　　 Regarding how to get the key to the fetters, Ogata and Amachi's plan is very simple-just right.

　　 When I saw the people who came to stop them, I just killed them.

　　 The ninjas who were in charge of the "Soul Village", after learning that an enemy had attacked them, came from all over the country and killed Ogata and Amachi.

　　 "Quick! Kill them!"

"kill!"

　　 "Neither of these two can be let go!"

　　, who had already drawn his sword in his hand, killed all the ninjas who came into his attack range.

　　 Ogata opened a ninja's sword with Da Zizao, and then swung Da Ziten to kill him.

　　 When a ninja standing outside Ogata’s attack area intends to use kunai to deal with Ogata—

boom!

　　 As soon as he took out Kunai, Ah Ding used Su Sakura to blow his head.

　　Acho also showed no pity for her ammunition at this time, raising Su Sakura, and killing those enemies who tried to attack them with long-range weapons such as shurikens.

These people who wanted to attack from a long distance had not had time to get into the distance with their long-range weapons that could attack the Ogata two, so they were very awkwardly attacked by Amachi with Suzakura, whose range was far above their weapons. …

　　Ogata beheads those who are close to them, and Amachi slays those who want to attack them far away.

　　 There are not many ninjas guarding the "Glue Village", there are only a dozen ninjas in total.

　　 With the combined efforts of Ogata and Amachi, the ninjas who were originally responsible for guarding the "Gime Village" were immediately killed and injured.

　　 The ninjas who were still alive showed fear on their faces.

　　The ninjas who were still alive all noticed at this time-Ogata's face was a bit familiar.

　　 "Isn't this the executioner Ichidosesai?!" Finally the famous ninja yelled in horror.

　　 Ogata does not wear that human skin mask now.

　　 there is no need to wear it again.

　　 And from a certain perspective, Ogata's face is a unique weapon.

　　 And this "special weapon" also played a role at this time.

　　 After being reminded by the ninja, the others turned their attention to Ogata.

　　 Then there was a strong fear on his face.

　　 The morale that was already low to the bottom, instantly collapsed.

　　Some ninjas started to run away.

　　 However, some ninjas resisted their fear and continued to perform their duties of guarding the "soul village".

　　 Under the division of labor between Ogata and Amachi, the ninja guarding the "Glue Village" was almost wiped out before the house where the shackle keys were stored.

　　 Those ninjas who came to surround them just now were either killed by Ogata and Amachi, or fled directly because of morale collapse.

　　 "It's a lot easier than imagined..." Acho sighed softly as he refilled the Sakura in his hand with ammunition.

　　 "With your Suzakura, of course it's a lot easier..." Ogata smiled bitterly and wiped the blood from his face.

　　 Susakura and Kasana are simply bug-level weapons in this era when everyone is still fighting with swords.

　　Acho, a person who is good at using firearms and shooting, is able to maximize the power of these two pistols.

　　 Just now, when the ninjas who were responsible for guarding the "Glue Village" came to surround them, most of them were actually shot by Acho with some Sakura...

　　 "I saw a few ninjas run away." Amachi said.

　　 "Let them escape." Ogata responded, "There is no time to chase them one by one."

　　 "And let them escape, maybe it would be good."

　　 Speaking of this, Ogata changed into a half-joking tone.

　　 "They all recognized me just now, and if they let them fled to the back to spread the news that'Ogata is here,' it should be a blow to their morale."

　　 "I think it is possible to attract a group of masters to chase you..." Ah Ding said.

　　 "It's just what I want." Ogata smiled.

　　 After successfully smashing these ninjas guarding the "Dark Village", Ogata and Amachi's next road was unimpeded.

　　 quickly followed the map that Uncle Qing drew for them, rushed to the north of "Guicun" and found a two-story house.

　　 This house is actually not hard to find.

　　Because there is no second house in "Guicun" that has more than one storey except this house.

　　 "Go, Ah Ding."

　　 Ogata rushed into the house.

　　 There was no one in the house—the ninjas who had stayed in this house should have rushed out just now to encircle the two Ogata, and then they were defeated by the Ogata.

　　 "This house is really big..." Ogata smiled wryly, "Where are the keys..."

　　...

　　...

　　 Shintaro, Shintaro, and Etaro are still staying in the wide open space dedicated to announcing something to all the ninjas in the village.

　　 They are the generals in Shiranui, and this clearing is their main formation.

　　 Shintaro is here constantly listening to information from various places and conducting commands.

　　 "Masters!" A ninja ran towards them, "Everyone has already fought the intruder in the northeast of the village!"

　　 "When everyone found that it was difficult to get close to the enemy, they switched to using shurikens and other weapons capable of attacking at a distance to deal with the enemy!"

　　 "Now I successfully blocked the enemy's attack!"

　　 "Hmm! Very good!" Shintaro nodded, and the tight face finally relaxed a little at this time, "As soon as there is any new information, please report it to me!"

　　 "Yes!" After the ninja who came to report the news loudly responded, he quickly walked away from Shintaro's field of vision.

　　 Their main force successfully blocked the enemy—this is indeed an inspiring good news.

　　 Shintaro couldn't help but feel relieved.

　　 But he still dare not relax too much.

　　 The sound of artillery fire continued to enter his ears, and the sound of artillery fire was not too far away from him.

　　 As long as the gunfire has not stopped, Shintaro will always feel a big rock hanging in his heart.

　　 As soon as he watched the ninja who had just come to report on the frontline battle to leave, another ninja rushed over.

　　 The ninja rushed to Shintaro and the others, and said a sentence that made Shintaro's slightly relaxed heart tense again.

　　 "My lords! There is an enemy attacking the ‘Soul Village’! All the ninjas guarding the ‘Soul Village’ are destroyed!”

　　 "All gone?!" Shintaro's pupils shrank.

　　 "A few people escaped! He, they said... One of the people who attacked the ‘Silky Village’ seemed to be the ‘Executioner Yidaozai’..."

　　 "Executioner Ichitosai?!" Shintaro now not only shrank his pupils, but also opened his mouth wide.

　　Shuntaro, who was standing not far behind Shintaro, raised his eyebrows when he heard the word "Executioner Ichitosai" from the ninja.

　　 "The ninjas who escaped all said that one of them was "Hanman Ichitosai"... and according to them, the strength of that person is indeed terribly strong..."

　　 Shintaro feels a little dizzy now.

　　 First, a group of unknown people carried a lot of big barrels to bomb them Shiranui.

　　 Now there is another executioner Ichidozai...

　　 "Damn... damn... why is the executioner Ichitosai here...!" Shintaro clutched his head and spouted all the swear words he knew.

　　In Shintaro's mind, the threat posed by the executioner Ichito Saiokata's fortune was no less than the threat posed by those big barrels.

　　 After all, the executioner Idozai is a living legend.

　　 If the person who is attacking "Guicun" is really the one Ichidozai, no matter what, you can't just sit idly by.

　　 Shintaro didn't want Shiranuiri to become the second Nijo Castle.

　　Psing his lips tightly, after a moment of deep thought, Shintaro turned his head and looked at Shintaro behind him.

　　 "Shuntaro, there is a new mission for you."

　　 "Go to the'Scile Village' and kill me the executioner Yidaozai!"

　　 Now most of the fighting power in Shiranui has been sent to meet those people who use the big tube.

　　 At present, only the group of Iga ninjas are left, and Shintaro can move freely.

　　 But the Iga ninjas are Toyotomi's vassals just like him. They are his own people. As a last resort, Shintaro doesn't want to send them to meet those who are too dangerous.

　　 The only person who has the ability to block a sword fast, and it doesn't matter if he dies...the only one is Shun Taro.

　　 "Shuntaro, you go to the ‘Shiny Village’ now and stop the executioner Ichitosai at any cost!" Shintaro repeated his command to Shuntaro again.

　　 Shintaro's tough tone made Shintaro's face appear unhappy.

　　 And Shintaro hurriedly said after seeing the displeasure on Shuntaro's face:

　　 "You don't want to have a scar on Taifu Wind chime's face that can ruin her appearance, right?"

　　 Shintaro's words made Shuntaro directly clenched his hands that dropped naturally.

　　Shuntaro took a few deep breaths—

"…I know."

　　 After such a deep response, Shuntarou hurried to the "Glue Village".

　　 Shintaro watched Shintaro leave, his lips pursed, as if thinking about something.

　　 When Shintaro could not be seen at all, Shintaro turned his head and said to Keitaro who had been waiting next to him:

　　 "Go and supervise Shuntaro. Bring the wind chime Taifu."

"Yes."

　　...

　　...

　　 The 18 big tubes were divided into 6 groups, and they alternately bombarded the places where there were ninjas. Lin and others guarded the outside of the gunners to prevent the enemy from approaching the gunners. Lin kept this formation and pushed forward little by little.

　　 After Shintaro gave the command to attack, and the main force in Shiranui was killed, Lin and the others slowed down significantly.

　　 Although the big tube is still very powerful, a bombardment can always cause some casualties on the opposite side.

　　 But Lin and the others gradually began to suffer casualties.

　　 Hidden Weapon is one of the best ninjas.

　　 After discovering that it was difficult to get close to Datong, and finally getting close, he would be killed by Lin, Mamiya and other masters, so they changed their tactics one after another.

　　 "Disperse! Disperse! Use shuriken against them!"

　　 "Use shuriken against them!"

　　 "Find a shelter! You can hide above the roof or anywhere else!"

　　 Shinobumen always act as commanders.

　　 Some Shinobu gave orders to change the tactics.

　　 Under the orders of the upper ninjas, the ninjas began to disperse, lurking in nearby roofs, houses and other places, launching long-range attacks with shurikens and other long-range weapons.

　　 Normally, the big tube and the shuriken shoot at each other, and the shuriken is definitely not an opponent.

　　 But-can't stand the large number of ninjas in Shiranui.

　　 Relying on the superiority of quantity, the ninjas in Shiranui are barely equal to Lin and others in firepower.

　　 With the change of tactics, the situation that was originally dominated by Lin and others slowly began to change.

　　 The shuriken thrown by some low-level ninjas, fortunately, Lin can use their swords to block them.

　　 But the shurikens thrown by some masters are somewhat difficult to guard against.

Although the gunners have been asked to find their own bunkers, Lin, Mamiya and the others kept waving the knives in their hands to form a thick "knife curtain", shooting down these flying shurikens and other objects one by one, but There were still some caught fish passing through Lin's "knife curtain", bypassing the bunkers where the gunners were hiding, and hitting the gunners.

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}　　 After the ninjas changed their tactics and switched to using long-range weapons to confront the enemy, Lin and the others began to suffer casualties.

　　 At present, 3 gunners have died and 7 injured.

　　 The battle situation has slowly come to a stalemate...

　　...

　　...

　　Because the ninjas guarding the "Soul Village" were defeated by Ogata and Amachi, the two searched the hut without any interruption.

　　 Finally—found a bunch of keys in a big box on the second floor.

　　Each fetter of "dirty" has a number, which corresponds to these keys that are also numbered.

　　 "Finally found it." Ogata picked up the big box full of keys.

　　 Acho: "Quick! Let's go."

　　 When Ogata, carrying this big box, left the house in tandem with Amachi—

　　 "Are you... Executioner Ichidosesai?"

　　 A familiar voice came into Ogata's ears.

　　 Ogata followed the voice and looked over.

　　 then saw a familiar face with a pair of knives on his back.

　　 found this "two-sword man" standing not far away, Ogata and Amachi showed completely different expressions.

　　 Ogata looks strange.

　　 And Ah Ding's expression changed drastically, and his face was horrified.

　　 "A Yi, be careful! That person is Shun Taro!"

　　As a "former ninja," Amachi has never spoken to Shuntaro, but he also saw Shuntaro's face in a few occasions, and he naturally recognized Shuntaro.

　　 After that, Ah Ding raised Su Sakura in his hand.

boom!

　　 Pull the trigger without any hesitation.

　　 Shun Taro didn't recognize any short shots.

　　 But after Ah Ting raised Su Sakura to aim at him, he instinctively felt a great threat.

　　 Nearly the same moment Amachi pulled the trigger, Shuntaro jumped to the side and dodge the projectile shot by Suzakura.

　　 Seeing that Shun Taro was able to escape Suzakura's projectile, Acho's face appeared a little shocked.

　　 Just when Amachi planned to continue shooting at Shuntaro—

　　 "A Ting, you go to rescue the ‘scum’s, and then support Miss Lin and the others."

　　 Ogata said this suddenly, and handed the big box in his hand to Amachi.

　　 "Then, by the way, I told Ms. Lin and the others-Shuntaro was dragged by me, let them concentrate on dealing with Shintaro."

　　 Hearing what Ah Ding said, Ah Ding was stunned.

　　 "...Hmm." After looking at Ogata with a little mixed emotion, Amachi nodded, "I see. I wish you good luck."

　　 Ah Ding held the big box in his arms tightly, and ran towards the depths of the "dirty village".

　　 After Amachi left, Ogata turned his head and looked at Shuntaro not far away.

　　 Ogata's gaze at Shuntarou was quite calm.

　　 And Shintaro's gaze at Ogata was full of various emotions.

　　 He looked at the two blue and gold sabers on Ogata's waist—in his memory, these two sabers should be the sabers of another man named "Majima Goro".

　　 He also heard the conversation between Ogata and Amachi just now—this voice is also the voice of "Majima Goro" in his memory.

　　 A bold conjecture popped up in Shintaro's mind.

　　 This conjecture made Shun Taro's heartbeat speed up involuntarily.

　　 "Let's change the place," Asashuntaro Ogata said, "It seems to be a bit narrow here."

　　 "...Come with me." Shuntaro said, "I know a good place."

　　...

　　...

　　 It's noon now.

　　 is the time when the “souls” of the “soul village” are having lunch.

　　 Originally, they should have gathered in this clearing as usual today, hummingly finished today’s lunch, and then continued to work.

　　 should be like this.

　　 But just halfway through the distribution of today's lunch, the sound of the big cannon made their today a bit unusual.

　　 The shelling of the big tube resounded throughout Shiranui.

　　 The “souls” who live in the “soul village” naturally heard this thunderous sound.

　　 Most of the "dirt" have never heard the shelling of the big tube.

　　 After the sound of the first shelling of the big tube, the shelling of the big tube continued.

　　 Not only are the "skins" panicked, but the ninjas who give out lunch to the "skins" in the open also have difficulty keeping calm.

After a while, another ninja hurried to the open space, and after whispering a few words with the ninjas who were in charge of serving food and taking care of the "scaling", they all changed their faces and hurried. Leaving hurriedly, I don't know where I went.

　　 Even though the surrounding ninjas were gone, none of the "dirty" dared to leave without permission, and they all continued to stay in the open space they usually used for eating.

　　 Not long after, they all heard the screams of killing that were close to them.

　　 The shouting of killing made the "souls" even more disturbed, and they began to whisper.

　　 discussing what these thunder sounds are.

　　 was talking about where the ninjas who left just now went.

　　 was talking about the killing sounds that sounded not far from them.

　　 Although Asheng is uneasy, he is more concerned about when the ninjas will come back and continue to serve meals instead of thinking about the sound of thunder and killing.

　　 When the thunder rang, the food was just halfway through.

　　 Half of the "dirt" did not receive their lunch today.

　　 And Ah Sheng is one of the half of the "scum" that did not receive lunch.

　　 Although the steaming rice bucket was not far away, Ah Sheng didn't dare to pick up the rice without authorization.

　　 If he went to pick up lunch without authorization, God knows how he would be punished when the ninjas came back and found out that he went to pick up lunch without authorization.

　　 Just as the "souls" waited silently with different emotions, they suddenly saw a figure walking towards them.

　　 They looked intently.

　　 found that this figure is a very beautiful woman.

　　 This beautiful woman is holding a big box.

　　 This beautiful woman is naturally Ah Ding.

　　 Looking at the "scum" who are gathering in the open space, waiting for lunch, Ah Ding secretly said "good luck".

　　 The "dirty" gathered together, saving her a lot of effort.

　　 Acho carried the box full of shackle keys and came to the edge of the open space. After opening the box, he poured out the keys in the box all at once.

　　 Wow, la la la...

　　 The key fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

　　 Some "dirty" recognizes what these keys are.

　　 Looking at the keys at Ah Ding's feet, his eyes were widened, and his faces were shocked.

　　 "The ninjas who guarded the ‘soul village’ have been killed by us!"

　　 "We are here to destroy Shiranui!"

　　 "Have you heard these thunders? This is the sound of my companions fighting Shiranui!"

　　 "These are the keys that can unlock your shackles! There are numbers on them, which correspond to the numbers on your shackles one by one!"

　　 "Although our weapons are very powerful, our number is still relatively small compared to the ninjas in Shiranui."

　　 "So we need your help!"

　　 "With your help, the odds of defeating Shiranui will be greatly increased!"

　　 "If Shiranui perishes, you will also be truly free."

　　 "Of course, you can also choose to open the shackles and run away!"

　　 "We will not stop you."

　　 "But if you choose to escape directly, then please be prepared for our defeat of Shiranuiri this time, and then Shiranui will send someone to capture you back!"

　　 Ah Ding didn't talk too much about the long story to the "souls".

　　 said all the words straightforwardly.

After 　　 finished speaking, Ah Ding silently stared at the “scum” in front of him, waiting for their response.

　　 After listening to these words of Ah Ding, the first thought that came to Ah Sheng’s mind was-true or false?

　　Asheng is not the only person with similar ideas.

　　 The look on many people's faces shows that they all have the same thoughts as Ah Sheng.

　　 A certain "dirty" asked the question they most want to ask on behalf of everyone:

　　"Have you...really killed all the people responsible for guarding the ‘soul village’ by you?"

　　 "If I didn't kill all the people who guarded the ‘soul village’, how did I bring out the keys that can be fettered?" Ah Ding asked rhetorically.

　　 The open space that was originally silent because of shock, at this time, it was like the magic of time suspension has been released, and it slowly rioted in an atmosphere that was not too public.

　　 The thunder that keeps coming into the ears, the ninjas who have not reappeared, and the key that can unlock the fetters just not far away are all announcing: this woman is telling the truth.

　　—Get...freedom?

　　 Asheng whispered in his heart.

　　 After the whisper, Ah Sheng felt his heartbeat—there was no change, and it was not accelerated by excitement.

　　 He completely sneered at what Ah Ting had just said.

　　—Exterminate Shiranui? How can it be?

　　 Asheng's mouth evokes an arc of sarcasm.

　　 In his eyes, how could Shiranui with so many ninjas and such amazing combat power be wiped out.

　　 If they really untie their fetters to help them deal with Shiranui, it must be dead.

　　 If you ran away directly after unfastening the shackles, you might get caught back and be severely punished after you kill those who do not know what is good or bad and dared to attack them in Shiranui.

　　 Although it is possible to escape successfully, Ah Sheng is not confident about his escape.

　　 So there is no need to think too much, Asheng made his own decision-continue to stay here and wait for the ninjas to come back.

　　 No longer went to see Ah Ding's eye, touched his stomach, and looked at the rice bucket not far away.

　　—I’m so hungry...When can I come back and continue serving food?

　　 Just as Ah Sheng was concerned about when the ninjas would return to continue serving food, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of Youdao standing up beside him.

　　 Asheng turned his head and stared at the standing man beside him in a daze.

　　 This person is the same gang who just came to "Gui Village" not long ago, and was beaten up by asking the ninjas if they could change their food two days ago.

　　 There are still many traces of beatings on the face of Abang at this time.

　　 The look in his eyes is complicated.

　　 There is hesitation, fear, and worry.

　　 But the main emotion is firmness.

　　 Abang gritted his teeth and walked quickly towards A Ding, and found the key that could unlock his fetters among the pile of keys at A Ding's feet, and then quickly unlocked his fetters.

　　 Asheng looked at the Abang who had untied his fetters in surprise, with a look of disbelief.

　　—What is he going to do? Is he going to run away? still is…

　　 Asheng hadn’t finished speaking in his heart, and Abang shouted at the rest of the “dirty” who were still standing or sitting, with various expressions:

　　 "I don't want to stay here anymore!"

　　 "I don't want to be frightened afterwards, worrying about when the ninjas in Shiranui will come and bring me back!"

　　 "Is anyone with me?!"

　　 Abang’s words made the people who had already been in a turmoil even more turbulent.

　　 Some of the "dirt" that had hesitated just now, finally gritted their teeth and stood up like the Gang just now.

　　 It was like a chain reaction, and more and more people stood up.

　　 It's actually very simple to tell who wants to run away and who wants to fight the ninjas in Shiranui.

　　 Those "scum" who want to fight to the death with the ninjas in Shiranui, the depths of their eyes are like flames burning.

　　 Asheng felt that his mouth opened into an "O" shape uncontrollably.

　　—Is their brain okay?

　　 Ah Ting watched more and more of the “smudge” burning in the depths of his eyes, and got up, and a faint smile appeared on their faces.

　　 "At the entrance of the village, there are many weapons left by those who have been killed by us. Come with me, and I will take you to get your own weapons." A Ding said.

　　 The reason why Ah Ting didn't tell them too many complicated principles or sensational things was because Ah Ting knew that there was no need to talk to them too much.

　　 For those who are still rebellious, just a simple word can make them take up arms.

　　 In fact, it is true.

　　...

　　...

　　 Lin naturally also noticed the stalemate in the current battle.

　　 If you continue to shoot each other with the big tube and the opponent's shuriken, when the ninjas are defeated, she will have few gunners left.

　　 After pondering for a while, Lynn decided it was time to play her other two trump cards.

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}　　 In order to deal with Shiranui, Lin prepared 3 aces this time.

　　 Datong is just one of her trump cards.

　　 Her other two trump cards are now standing beside her.

　　 "Uncle Gong, Jiuro." Lin whispered to the two people standing on her left and right sides, "Can you please?"

　　 Lin has lived with her uncle since she was a child.

　　 Jian Gong is the first person to follow Lin.

　　 They have long had a unique tacit understanding with each other.

　　 There is no need for Lindo to say anything, and Genichi and Mamiya don’t need to ask more, they both nodded.

　　 "Let's go to the east." Gen, who wore a light blue haori, glanced at the east today. "There seems to be more people over there."

　　 "Then I'll go to the west." Mamiya, who was wearing dark red Haori, cast his gaze to the other side.

　　 "I'll leave it to you." Lin said seriously, "Let me see... "Juggernaut" Kinoshita Genichi and how "River Hachiman" Mamiya Kuro is worth one thousand!"

　　 Genichi and Mamiya smiled slightly.

　　 Then almost at the same time, the two grasped the knives in their hands and shot them in different directions.

　　Genichi rushed to the enemy in the east.

　　Mamiya rushed to the enemy in the west.

　　 The two men with the titles of "Juggernaut" and "Streamer Hachiman"-are out.

The light blue haori on Genichi and the dark red haori on Mamiya were blown away by the gust of wind.

　　 Lin gave an order to the gunners behind her: stop shelling the enemies in the west and east.

　　Mamiya jumped onto the roof of a low-rise house.

　　 On the roof of this low-rise house, there are two ninjas who use the roof as shelter, who have been throwing shurikens at Lin and their gunners just now.

　　 jumped onto the roof of Mamiya, just in front of one of the ninjas.

　　 This ninja is not a fledgling rookie.

　　 Just now, after seeing Mamiya rushing towards them, he already put away the shuriken and pulled out the Shinobi.

　　 jumped before and after Mamiya, he immediately pointed the tip of the Shinobi sword at Mamiya, trying to pierce Mamiya's chest.

　　 However—he just pointed the tip of the sword at Mamiya, Mamiya had already set up a posture of drawing swordsmanship at a much faster speed than him:

　　 With his left hand supporting the knife at his waist, his right hand rests on the handle of the knife, lowering his body's center of gravity.

　　 Then the blade flashed.

　　 Sword light swept from the right abdomen of the ninja to his left shoulder, blood spattered.

　　Mamiya didn't take another look at the ninja who had been killed by him. He turned around and rushed towards another ninja who was also lurking on the roof.

　　 This ninja is also the same-although he was not killed by the sword drawing technique, but he couldn't even react to the reaction, so he was killed by Mamiya.

　　Genichi is also in a similar situation.

　　 When rushing to the ninjas to the east, Genichi pulled out his Yang God and Yanrong, and leaped towards the three ninjas gathered together.

　　 The three ninjas were killed by Genichi before they could even react.

　　 Genichi and Mamiya are like two fierce carnivorous beasts that are attacking their prey.

　　 After the ninjas who had smashed into Shiranui separately in the "army formation" formed by the east and the west, the unilateral massacre began.

　　 No one can stop Genichi and Mamiya’s swords, and stop them both.

　　 Many ninjas didn't even have a chance to scream, they were cut to death by Genichi and Mamiya.

　　 The two of them didn't waste a bit of energy, and they could kill the opponent with one stroke, and they would never need a second one.

　　 can chop the stomach that is easier to chop, but never chop the head that is harder to chop.

　　 Genichi ran with Mamiya, jumping, and attacking.

　　The ninjas on both sides of the east and west are ruined, broken, and dead

　　 The ninjas in Shiranui were dumbfounded.

　　 Their companions, who are clearly located on the east and west sides, have an absolute advantage in number, but they have nothing to do with the old man and the young man with glasses.

　　 Close attack-before the knife hit them, he was killed first.

　　 Long-range attack-Whether throwing a shuriken or throwing a dart, it is either dodged or bounced by the knives in the hands of these two people.

　　 Even if they are attacking in groups, these two can easily behead the attacking enemies one by one.

　　 Give a vivid example to describe the battle between Shimamamiya and Genichi-the ninjas in Shiranui are like instant milk powder.

　　 And Genichi and Mamiya are boiling hot water.

　　 What does the boiling water look like when it meets instant milk powder? What the ninjas in Shiranui look like after they meet Genichi and Mamiya.

　　 It's not just the ninjas in Shiranui who were dumbfounded.

The gunners hired by 　　 Lin were also dumbfounded.

　　 Lin and Makimura knew the strength of Genichi and Mamiya, so they were not surprised.

　　 But for the gunners Lin hired, it was the first time they saw such a strong person.

　　 Because I was so shocked and focused on watching the battle between Genichi and Mamiya, I couldn’t help but slow down the shelling...

　　 "Don't be stunned!" Lin roared, "The shelling speed has slowed down!"

　　 After receiving Lin's reprimand, the gunners finally came to their senses one by one, and continued to concentrate on shelling the enemies except the east and west.

　　 With Genichi and Mamiya coming out, the pressure on the gunners is greatly reduced.

　　 The battle situation that had been deadlocked once again became the dominant position for Lin and others.

　　 And it’s the kind of ever-expanding advantage.

　　...

　　...

　　Edo, somewhere—

　　 "Come! Guest officer! Your dried sweet potatoes!"

　　 The flame demon standing in front of a dry food store smiled and turned out to be the dried sweet potato delivered by the owner of the dry food store.

　　 After deciding to let go of everything related to Shiranui, Balrog felt that his weight had become lighter.

　　 is so light that it feels almost flying.

　　 The flame demon at this time, wearing a hat and carrying a small cloth bag, the cloth bag is filled with all the necessities needed for a long journey.

　　 He told Genichi early this morning-when he was young, he had seen a very beautiful maple forest in Kansai.

He always wanted to see it again, but it was a pity that not long after seeing this maple leaf product, he became the 12th generation of Balrog. He worked hard for the revitalization of Shiranui for 30 years, and there is no time to see it again. That maple leaf forest.

　　 Now he is no longer a Balrog.

　　 He decided to set off today.

　　 left Edo today.

　　Go to Kansai.

　　 The flame demon straightened the hat on his head,

smiling.

　　 With a brisk step, carrying the dried sweet potatoes he just bought, he walked straight in the direction of leaving Edo.

　　 However, just after leaving the front door of this dry food shop, the Balrog suddenly heard a very familiar sentence.

　　 "Here, Yajiro, I bought dried sweet potatoes for you."

　　 The flame demon's expression was startled.

　　 Follow the prestige—a middle-aged man and a young man. These two people look alike. They should be a pair of father and son.

　　 After the father handed a pack of dried sweet potatoes to his son, his son took it and smiled happily.

　　 This picture, this group of dialogues almost completely overlaps with a certain memory of Balrog.

　　...

　　 "Come on, Ichitaro, buy you dried sweet potatoes."

　　 "Ah, thank you!"

　　...

　　 The flame demon in this memory was just a child in his early 10s, and he was still using the name "Ichitaro" at that time.

　　 In this memory, the person who gave the dried sweet potatoes to him was the previous generation of Balrog—that is, the 11th generation of Balrog.

　　He is an abandoned baby picked up by the previous Balrog.

　　 The previous flame demon has always treated him as if he had come out, and trained him carefully.

　　 Although he is a strict person, he occasionally shows a gentle side.

　　 When he was 10 years old, he inadvertently said the phrase "want to taste dried sweet potatoes" in front of the previous Balrog.

　　 It was just a casual mention, but the previous generation Yan Demon remembered this sentence.

　　 After returning from a mission, he bought him a pack of dried sweet potatoes.

　　 also because of this, this memory is so deep.

　　 Because of this, dried sweet potatoes have always been a meaningful food for Balrog. Obviously it's not very tasty, but I have always liked it.

　　 After looking at the father and son from a distance for a long time, the flame demon slowly retracted his gaze.

　　 lowered the hat on top of his head and continued to walk forward.

　　 The picture of the father giving his son dried sweet potatoes, like a key, opened a box containing many old memories in the depths of the Balrog's mind.

　　 Pieces of old memories emerged from my mind.

　　...

　　 "Ichitaro, good job, keep working hard, it is only a matter of time before you surpass me."

　　 "Yes! Lord Flame Demon, I will continue to work hard!"

　　 "Well, remember not to be proud, the future in Shiranui depends on you young people."

　　 This is the memory of childhood... Since childhood, he showed his extraordinary talent, and was carefully cultivated by the previous generation of Balrog.

　　 The happiest thing at that time was to hear the flame demon praise himself from the previous generation.

　　 After every praise, the previous generation of Balrog will pat him on the shoulder, and then say, "The future of Shiranui depends on you young people."

　　...

　　 Flame Demon... Or Ichitaro's slightly upturned mouth slowly flattened.

　　...

　　 Memories are broken up, mixed, and reorganized into a new picture.

　　 The picture that came to Ichitaro's mind this time was a familiar face.

　　 "Ichitaro, I heard that Lord Balrog intends to let you succeed as the 12th generation of Balrog. You can be expected to become the Balrog, and I will rely on you after Shiranui!"

　　The person who said this is a former senior and friend of Ichitaro.

　　 But not long after Ichitaro became the 12th Balrog, he died in a certain mission.

　　 Although he is a senior, he has no pretensions, and I don’t know how much help Ichitaro has given.

Ichitaro once asked him why he helped him so much. He said that he felt that Ichitaro's talents far surpassed other people in the village of his age, and he was the person most promising to become the next generation of Balrog, so he planned to help and cultivate as much as he could. He, let him become an excellent leader who can lead Shiranui to grow stronger in the future.

　　...

　　 Ichitaro started to slow down and sink slowly with a somewhat brisk pace.

　　...

　　 Various memory fragments emerge and disappear.

　　 Soon after, a new piece of memory remained in front of my eyes, and then slowly condensed into a specific outline.

　　 Of course, Ichitaro recognized it quickly—this was what happened after the previous Balrog and Satsuma clan failed to negotiate.

　　 The previous generation of Balrog has been committed to revitalizing Shiranui, and recreating the glory of the Warring States period.

　　 For this reason, the flame demon of the previous generation has been exhausted, searching every day for ways to revitalize Shiranui.

　　 So the previous flame demon came to the Satsuma clan, and hoped to belong to the Satsuma clan, just as the first flame demon led Shiranui to the Toyotomi family two hundred years ago. With the help of the Satsuma clan, Shiranui was revitalized and strengthened.

　　 But the monarchs of Satsuma clan dismissed the ninjas, thinking that raising a group of ninjas is better than raising a fleet.

　　 So this negotiation with Satsuma clan ended in failure.

　　 The last generation of the flame demon returned to the village from the remote Satsuma clan in despair.

　　 Ichitaro still remembers the frustration and unwillingness on UU's face when he first returned to the village.

　　...

　　 Ichitaro's flat corner of his mouth slowly pulled down.

　　...

　　 "Ichitaro..."

　　 The memories were broken up again, and then re-formed into a new picture-the previous Balrog lying on the sickbed, dying of illness, Ichitaro sat on the head of the bed, looking sadly at the previous Balrog who was both a mentor and an adoptive father.

　　The old flame demon, who was so sick that he couldn't even see things, stretched out his somewhat withered hand in the direction where Ichitaro was.

　　 "From now on...you will be the 12th generation of Balrog. Shiranuiori...I will leave it to you..."

　　 Ichitaro raised his hand without hesitation, and tightly grasped the hand that the previous Balrog stretched toward him.

　　 "Master Flame Demon, leave it to me!"

　　...

　　 Ichitaro's pace was getting slower and slower, and finally he stopped and stood still.

　　He is now standing on a fairly prosperous street in Edo.

　　 is surrounded by a constant stream of pedestrians, carriages and horses.

　　 But now he feels like a barrier has appeared around him, isolating these lively breaths.

　　Under the obstacle of this barrier, Ichitaro felt that the people around, the carts and horses around were all paper people and horses.

　　 After standing there for a long time, Ichitaro...or the Balrog, slowly raised his head.

　　 looked at the clear sky above his head, and muttered in an imploring tone:

"…Let me go…"

　　He begged for this memory after memory that kept coming up in his mind.
