I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The latest website: The shouts on the first floor can be heard clearly even if they are far away on the third floor.

The villagers headed by Kinosuke huddled up in every corner of the third floor, listening to the constant noises coming from the first floor, and various expressions appeared on their faces.

Some people are afraid.

Someone looked terrified.

Someone was excited.

Someone looked forward to it.

As for Ah Ding-she is holding her wrestler tightly, standing on the only staircase connecting the third and second floors, looking solemnly towards the top of the stairs.

"Miss Ah Ding..."

At this moment, Kinosuke walked towards Amachi with a confused face, and asked him.

"Aren't you going to help Mr. Ogata and the others?"

"I really want to help." A little bitter smile hung on Ah Ding's face, "but I can help as far as I can..."

"After setting up the enemy position together, I actually want to stay and follow them to block the shogunate."

"It's just that Ah Yi said to me-'This corridor is too narrow. It can only barely accommodate me, Mamiya, and Makimura for fighting. If you add more of you, there will be not enough space. Acho, go to the third floor Protect them and protect them.'"

"Although he said it nicely, I knew it in my heart-the real reason was just because my swordsmanship was not good enough, and staying there might get in the way."

"Although I feel a little unhappy, I also have to admit-Ah Yi, what he said is right."

Ah Ding shrugged.

"My principle of dealing with things is to do things that I can help, never do things that are beyond my ability."

"Since I can't help on the first floor, then I will obediently follow Ah Yi's words and come to the third floor."

Ah Ding turned his head, and smiled at Kinosuke.

"Although I can't face the elite of the shogunate head-on, I can barely do it by guarding you at the top of the stairs on the 3rd floor."

"...Thank you." Kinosuke, whose eyes were slightly red, said to Ah Ding in a solemn tone, "Thank you so much..."

"No need to thank you." Ah Ding waved his hand freely, "I am fine, Ah Yi and the others, they all just want to save themselves."

"While saving yourself, I just help you out."

...

The 150 shogunate soldiers in charge of landing on the island have divided their troops twice since landing on the island.

The first division of troops-30 people were left to guard their ships.

The second division of troops-after breaking through the wooden wall of Fenghe Village, 30 people were left to guard the gap again to prevent islanders from escaping through the gap.

After dividing the troops twice, there were only 90 generals who attacked the wall.

The 30 soldiers who were responsible for guarding the gap are now all unsheathed and ready to fight.

Although these people are standing guard and monitoring the movement inside the wall, they are actually standing guard here with a rather leisurely mood.

Because they don't think there will be islanders inside the wall that can escape here smoothly.

The companions who rushed into the wall were number 90.

With such a number of people, it must be a breeze to smooth the unarmed islanders inside the wall.

Even if the lucky islanders escaped here from the siege of their comrades, it doesn't matter.

There must be very few islanders who can escape here smoothly.

When the time comes, these islanders who are lucky enough to escape here can just make up a few dollars.

In terms of the ease and safety of the task, it is second only to those comrades who are responsible for guarding the ship.

Because no one felt that they would encounter any danger in this "gap keeping" task, very few people even started chatting there.

At this moment-a loud voice of urn sound suddenly sounded from behind them:

"Isn't this the soldiers of the shogunate? What did the soldiers of the shogunate come here for?"

This sudden loud voice shocked all the 30 soldiers who were responsible for guarding the gap.

After turning their heads, they saw a huge and very strong man walking towards them slowly carrying a large naginata.

In addition to this brawny man, there is also a young man of ordinary size following the brawny man with a cautious appearance.

The young man seemed to be very afraid of the strong man's appearance, and he didn't seem to dare to advance even one step ahead of the strong man.

Looking at the brawny man and this young man who suddenly appeared, the 30 soldiers rose up like enemies.

Without anyone's command, they consciously lifted the long spear in their hands and arranged the spear formation.

The soldiers did not know who these two men were.

I don't want to know who these two people are.

They only know: their task is to wipe out all the living people on this island-including the prisoners.

Looking at the 30 soldiers who had formed a spear formation, the brawny man curled his lips, his face showed displeasure.

"I hate you guys as soldiers."

While talking, the burly man slowly lowered the naginata he was carrying on his shoulders.

"It's more interesting to kill the old and weak women and children..."

...

...

Konosuke’s mansion, the corridor on the first floor——

"Hey, Pastoral Village."

Ogata suddenly said to the Makimura who was beside him while wiping off the few drops of blood that had just splashed on his face with the back of his hand.

"I suddenly had a plan. I need your help."

"What's the plan?" Makimura asked Ogata without looking back while avoiding the attack of a soldier in front of him.

"A plan related to our outlying islands, I just thought of it."

"If my plan is successful, we might be able to leave this broken island."

"It's just-- if you want to implement my plan, you have to find a way to make all the shogunate soldiers who landed on the island be clean."

Speaking of this, Ogata's eyes flashed a bit of cold light.

"So, I plan to cut off all the shogunate soldiers in this place, leaving no one behind. To do this, Mucun, I need your help."

While saying this, another soldier rushed towards Ogata.

Ogata turned his body to avoid the soldier's attack and made a knife in his throat. At the same time, he turned his head to the side where Makimura was. Things to do.

After Ogata's voice fell, Makimura grinned:

"Yes, your combat deployment is quite suitable for me."

After swiping a knife to chop down a soldier in front of him, Mu Cun threw away the knife in his hand, then turned and walked away quickly, rushing towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

Mamiya looked suspiciously at Mucun's leaving back.

"Ogata-kun, what did you ask Makimura to do?"

"It's nothing." Ogata said softly, "It's just a little adjustment of the personnel deployment to let Makimura go to a place where he can give more play to his strength."

After that, Ogata turned his gaze to look at the soldiers in front of him who were staring nervously at him and Mamiya.

No, to be precise... Ogata was looking at the guy dressed as an officer who was standing in the middle of the soldiers.
