I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 491: Ogata vs. Skulucci; Katana vs. Western Sword

Time rewinds back to just now—

Successfully reached a deal with Skulucci, and Chepke and others walked out of Skulucci's camp.

Manakl, who walked beside Chepke, let out a sigh of relief.

"It seems that we will be busy from now on. We have to prepare enough meat and wine for Skulucci and the others... There are not many people in our village who can leave for hunting now. It takes some time and effort to catch enough prey... Hmm? Chipk, why are you still serious?"

"Nothing." Chepke took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled the air in his chest, "I just feel a little tired."

"Speaking of which...you seem to have not slept since last night."

"There are too many things to do. And... If I go home to rest, I might run into my son and daughter-in-law."

"I... don't really want to see my son and daughter-in-law now."

"Huh? What's wrong? Have you quarreled with your son and daughter-in-law?"

An embarrassment slowly appeared on Chepke's face.

"There was no quarrel, it was just... something embarrassing happened..."

"Forget it, I don't want to take care of your housework. Anyway, I think you'd better take a rest."

"I don't have the idle time to rest now. I am going to find that Goro Mashima now."

"Looking for Goro Mashima?" Manakel's pupils shrank slightly—he instantly guessed what Chepke wanted to do.

"Yeah." Chepke nodded. "I want to go and ask him personally if he wants to stay in our village."

"What if he disagrees?" Manakel asked.

"If he doesn't agree, then I won't do anything." Chepke smiled bitterly, "I can only think of other ways to solve the problem of insufficient men in our village..."

"Anyway-I will go to Goro Majima to try it out now."

"Maybe he would like to stay in our village."

"This time, I will go with a person in charge of translators. Manakl, you can organize the staff to prepare enough meat and bars."

"Yeah. I see."

Timeline back to the present —

"The village chief said: I want to ask if you would like to work in our village, marry another wife, and stay in our village."

The middle-aged man sitting beside Chepke translated what Chepke had just said into Japanese.

-Ok?

Ogata turned his head and cast a suspicious look at the middle-aged man in charge of translation.

He looked at the middle-aged man and asked: Did you translate it wrong?

Facing the sight cast by Ogata, the middle-aged man answered Ogata with a firm expression without flinching—he had not translated it wrong.

Ogata turned his gaze back to Chepke.

"Lord, let me confirm-you are not joking with me."

"I'm serious. (Ainu Chepke said.

After confirming that Chepke was not joking and the translation was correct, Ogata couldn't help but put on a weird expression.

—I’m on the peach blossom...

Ogata thought helplessly in his heart.

In just two days, he was raptured twice.

Yesterday, the mother-in-law who could see the possessed **** of others wanted to accept him as her grandson-in-law.

Today, the head of Qina Village personally came to ask him if he wanted to marry a girl from their village.

However, Ogata was not overwhelmed by this "peach blossom".

After a brief consternation, Ogata quickly calmed down.

He clasped his chest with his hands, staring straight at Chepke's face with a look that seemed to pierce Chepke.

As for—Amachi sitting behind Ogata’s side, after listening to the big words that the translator had just translated, her expression on her face fluctuated greatly.

When she was about to say something to Chepke, she noticed that Ogata was looking straight at Chepke with a calm gaze.

Looking at Ogata with a calm face, Amachi pursed his red lips silently, swallowing back the words that had originally poured into his mouth.

After staring straight at Chepke for a while, Ogata said softly:

"The village chief, can you tell me why you want me to marry a girl from your village and stay in your village?"

"Is it to increase the number of males in the village, so that the village can have one more man with great skill?"

Ogata had been thinking about the reason for the village chief to propose to him.

He thought for a long time, and there was only one reason he could think of-he wanted to expand the number of men in the village.

Chepke closed his lips and fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Chepke slowly said:

"I don't know what your life is like with others."

"For us who live a life of fishing and hunting, the strength and number of men directly determine the prosperity of a village."

"Villages lacking men, without exception, are quite poor, and will be looked down upon by people in other villages, and even bullied."

"Since you are the friend Iyaka brought over, you should be aware of the'disappearance' a few years ago, right?"

"Since the'disappearance incident', there have been a lot fewer males in our village."

"And I experienced something like that last night. If we don't want to find a way, our village will save... (Ainu

Speaking of this, Chepke paused as if he could no longer speak.

Although he didn't directly answer Ogata's question just now.

But what he said just now can be regarded as an indirect answer.

After quietly listening to Chepke's explanation of their village's sufferings and the translation of the translation, Ogata sighed lightly.

"I understand the suffering of your village very well."

"But I'm sorry-I don't want to marry a girl from your village, and I don't have the spare capacity to live in your village."

Xu bowed towards Chepke.

"I am a ronin with no fixed place. The wind and the ground are my quilt and bed."

"and…"

Ogata's mind flashed through the look of the wanted order that had risen to 800 taels for some reason.

"I am not a person who can bring happiness to others."

A smile with a touch of helplessness appeared on Ogata's face.

Chepke lowered his head and remained silent.

After a while, Chepke finally broke the silence.

"…I understand."

Instead of stalking Chepke, he nodded readily to express that he understood, and then stood up.

"Mashima Goro. If you change your mind later, you can come to me anytime."

"Our village will always welcome a powerful man like you to join."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded. "I will."

After leaving this sentence, Chepke took his translator and left Ogata and their home very happily without any tweaking.

After Chepke left, Ogata let out a sigh of relief.

While sitting behind Ogata’s side, Amachi walked on his knees to Ogata’s side, then poked Ogata with his elbow, and said in a half-joking tone:

"I came to the door personally and gave you a chance to marry a new wife. Are you sure you just give up like that?"

Ogata smiled bitterly.

"I am not very accustomed to the living habits of the Ainu, so it is even more unlikely that I will live in an Ainu settlement for long."

Speaking of this, Ogata lowered his tone.

"And—if people like me live here for a long time, it will cause trouble to the people here."

Chepke didn't know-Ogata refused to stay in their village, but was actually protecting them.

"If you let the shogunate learn that Ogata Yushi lived in a certain Ainu settlement, you should imagine how the shogunate would act?"

"The shogunate should also know now that only ordinary samurai is sent here. I can't help it."

"If the shogunate knows that Ogata Yoshie lives in a certain Ainu settlement, he might send an army directly."

Speaking of this, Ogata turned his head, looked at Amachi, and said in a playful tone:

"I thought that when you heard that Chief Chepke proposed to me, you would angrily tell them,'Goro Mashima already has my wife'."

"I really wanted to do this."

"But I think you should do this kind of thing, not me."

"It's okay—you didn't disappoint me."

After all, Amachi cast a complimenting look at Ogata.

Ogata smiled, and then began to pull the scarf around his neck.

"Go on taking a bath."

"I plan to see Skulucci in the afternoon."

"You can't go to meet people stinkingly."

Pulling off the scarf and opening the placket, Ogata revealed his strong upper body covered with dried blood and sweat. .

One advantage of ancient Japanese men's clothes is that it is very convenient to take off their clothes.

Pull the placket to both sides to take off the clothes.

"Don't you take off the clothes below you?" Amachi looked at Ogata's lower body, who was still wearing clothes.

"Don't worry." Ogata said, "wash the upper body first, and then wash the lower body. Anyway, I will take this set of clothes to be washed afterwards. And in this cold weather, I will take all the clothes on my body in one breath. If you are all naked, it will be very cold."

"That's true."

Ah Ding nodded, and then took a basin full of hot and cold water placed not far away.

After putting a little cold water into the hot water and mixing it into warm water, Amachi soaked the towel with warm water and began to help Ogata scrub his body.

Amachi knelt down behind Ogata, scrubbing Ogata's back first.

Ogata is not idle either.

When Amachi wiped his back, Ogata picked up another clean towel and scrubbed his predecessor.

Scrubbing the body is also a rather boring and boring thing.

In order to pass this boring time, Ogata opened his personal system interface to check his current state, and check what his level and various experience bars have become after the battle last night.

The number of Cossacks who fell under the Ogata sword last night was between 30 and 40.

Killing so many enemies has also allowed Ogata's various experience bars to gain a lot of experience points.

The personal level has risen by nearly 4000 points of experience, Sakakihara has more than 1000 points for the first sword, nearly 3000 points for the second sword, and hundreds of points for Shiranui Ninjutsu.

Although he has gained a lot of experience points, it is very difficult to level up because Ogata is currently too high in level.

So after the battle yesterday, Ogata has not upgraded neither his personal level nor his martial arts.

However, although there is no upgrade, the upgrade of personal level and the distance upgrade of the second swordsman without me is only a step away.

After Ogata inspected his personal system interface, Amachi happened to have wiped his back for Ogata.

"I feel that those wild boars who run in the forest every day are cleaner than you are now..."

While complaining about Ogata, who was so dirty now, he dipped the towel from Ogata's back into the basin.

As soon as the towel was immersed in the basin, the originally clean and transparent water in the basin instantly became turbid, so dirty that even the bottom was almost unclear.

After cleaning Ogata's back and back, Amachi walked to the front of Ogata on his knees and began to scrub his predecessor with Ogata.

"Why do you wipe so slowly."

Ah Ting said grimly.

"I have wiped your back, and you just wiped your arms."

Ogata has just focused on examining his personal system interface, so the scrubbing action will naturally slow down unconsciously.

"Don't look at me like this. I'm also a very delicate person occasionally." Ogata said nonsense seriously for the sake of Tosaiahcho. "Wipe it slower, so it can be wiped cleaner."

"Such words are not convincing at all for you, who are always too lazy to wash a loincloth."

After all, Ah Ting seemed to think of some unpleasant memories, showing a rather unhappy expression.

When he left Edo with Ogata and went to Ezo Land, Ogata would wash his own clothes.

But gradually, Ogata became more and more lazy.

Just like most couples-they were respectful when they first got married. After a period of time after marriage, because the two of them had been running together and waiting, their partner gradually became "easy-going".

Ogata, who is getting too lazy to wash his clothes, now basically throws his clothes directly to Acho for washing—including the loincloth.

The so-called loincloth can be understood as the men's underwear of this era.

Realizing that he was wrong, Ogata lowered his head silently, watching his nose and heart, and no longer dared to speak.

Ah Ding's movements are very quick.

In just a few moments, she had already scrubbed the right half of Ogata's body, and began to scrub the left half of Ogata's body.

After the towel soaked in warm water touched Ogata's large dark purple skin that spread from the left neck to the left chest, Amachi suddenly stunned.

"...Is it my illusion..."

Amachi whispered, then raised his hand to caress the patch of "dark purple" that spread from the left neck to the left chest on Ogata's body.

"You didn't seem to be'purple' before here."

Amachi poked a small piece of skin under Ogata's left collarbone with his finger.

Hearing what Amachi said, Ogata, who was slightly surprised, hurriedly lowered his head to look at the location where Amachi was poking.

"Yes? Hasn't this been turned purple before?"

Ogata usually doesn't pay much attention to the purple skin of this large area on his body.

He didn't even remember whether the skin that Ah Ting was poking at had turned purple a long time ago.

Even if it turns purple again recently, it must be only a small amount of skin discoloration.

If it is a large area of ​​skin discoloration, even Ogata, who usually doesn't pay much attention to his dark purple skin, will definitely notice the change.

"Really..." Ah Ding murmured, "but I remember the skin here was normal before..."

Speaking of this, Ah Ding paused.

After that, although he tried to suppress it, he still whispered in a voice with a hint of worry:

"This ‘immortal poison’...couldn’t it start to spread again..."

"...Don't think too much." Ogata said softly to Amachi, "We only need to find Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen in a step-by-step manner."

Despite Ogata's relief, Amachi couldn't help but cast a worried look at the large purple skin on Ogata's left neck.

"Where are Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen..." After a heavy sigh, Amachi continued to help Ogata scrub his body.

"...Amachi, don't worry." After being silent for a while, Ogata showed a smile at Amachi. "My luck will always be very good in critical moments."

"My strong fortune has saved me countless times in crisis, and it has also allowed me to get to know the most suitable person countless times at the most suitable juncture."

"So relax. We will definitely find Xuanzheng and Xuanzheng."

Amachi seemed to be amused by Ogata's words just now, and a smile appeared on his face: "You are so optimistic. I have to learn from your optimistic character."

After all, Amachi stopped talking, and concentrated on wiping Ogata's body with a towel.

As soon as Chepke came out of Ogata's house, he ran into Manakl.

After seeing Chepke, Manakl immediately greeted him, and then asked Chepke:

"Chepke, how?"

Chepke shook his head and answered Manakl with motions.

"That's it..." Manakl smiled helplessly, "But this is also normal. After all, he is a peaceful person, and his living habits are completely different from our Ainu people."

"If he is willing to stay in our village, I would be surprised."

"Manakl." Chepke raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. "Could you borrow your home to give me a nap? I feel a little sleepy now..."

"If you want to sleep, can you just go back to your house and sleep?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Chepke cast a helpless look at Manakl. "I don't really want to see my son and daughter-in-law now for some reason."

"Let me take a nap at your house. I will get up when I go to bed until noon."

"Then you now help me inform these people..."

Chepke breathed out the names of the most prominent people in his village who were still alive.

"Help me tell them—I'm going to have a small meeting this afternoon."

"Have a small meeting?" Manakel asked back. "Are you going to talk to them?"

"Yeah." Chepke nodded vigorously. "I plan to talk to them about the future of the village."

"This matter can't be delayed..."

Hearing Chepke's words, Manakl's expression instantly became serious.

"Originally, if Goro Majima wanted to be a member of our village, our village would have added 100 new men directly."

Chepke continued.

"But now Goro Majima doesn't want to join our village."

"So now we have to think of other ways to ensure the future of the village..."

After taking a bath for Ogata in Amachi, Ogata began to help Ogata in a shower.

Under the condition that only a basin can be filled with water to scrub the body, it is most convenient for these two people to help each other.

Amachi didn't always face the enemy like Ogata last night, so Amachi was not like Ogata, his body covered with blood and sweat, and his body was terribly dirty. So it is more convenient to scrub.

After the two briefly scrubbed their bodies, they started taking a nap.

Both of them stayed up all night last night.

First, I assisted the villagers in repelling the gang of Cossacks, and then followed the villagers to clean up the village, working all night.

Even Ogata, whose stamina is currently as high as 21 points, has experienced a three-shot combo of killing enemies, helping the villagers to clean up the village together, and staying awake all night, and feels very tired and sleepy.

After scrubbing and taking a nap, it was afternoon.

The specific time is about 2 o'clock.

After eating some of their own dry food and filling it up for today's lunch, Ogata and Amachi set off for the meeting in Skulucci's camp.

Listen to what Skulucci wants to tell him.

Outside of Qina Village, to the east—

Skulucci’s camp —

"Huh? Why do you want to wander around? I don't know yeah, I never thought about this problem, I never thought about this problem. I want to wander, so I wander."

Skulucci suddenly felt a warmth on his face.

The warmth that covered his face was quite comfortable at first.

But gradually, Skulucci felt the warmth of this warmth gradually increase.

In the end-Skulucci, who was awakened by the heat, escaped from the dream and slowly opened his eyes.

Skulucci, whose consciousness had just returned to reality from his dream, looked around—the tent he lived in was all around him, which was very familiar to him.

He quickly saw where this warmth came from.

His tent has many small openings dedicated to ventilation.

When not in use on weekdays, you can put down the cloth sewn on these small ventilation openings to cover the windows.

In order to ventilate, Skulucci opened every small mouth in the tent before taking a nap.

The warmth is the sunlight shining on Skulucci's face along these small openings.

Looking at the small mouth where the sun shines in, Skulucci roughly estimated the current time from the position of the sun, and said in a helpless tone in his heart:

—Good weather is not a good thing...

After complaining about the weather that was too much to disturb his sleep, Skulucci got up from his hammock.

He has woken up, and he has no sleep.

He is now ready to continue to do what he had done just now because he was taking a nap, and he only did half of the thing-sharpening his sword.

Skulucci picked up the Chasik knife and whetstone placed next to his hammock.

Before nap, he was concentrating on sharpening his saber with the whetstone.

Halfway through the sharpening, sleepiness surged.

So he set aside the half-sharpened saber and whetstone, ready to wait for a nice nap before going on to the boring work.

Skulucci placed his Chasik knife on its side so that the blade was facing his face.

The well-care of the Sabre has a clean surface like a mirror.

Skulucci's face was reflected on this mirror-like knife surface.

Looking at his own face reflected on the blade, Skulucci couldn't help but recall the dream he had just had.

The dream he had just now was very short.

I only dreamed of the person who could be said to have changed his life, and dreamed of what that person said to him that is still lingering in my ears.

"I always dreamed of him lately..." Skulucci whispered.

"Boss Skulucci! Boss Skulucci!"

At this time, Afujie's voice sounded outside the tent.

Afterwards, Afujie's freckled face leaned into the tent.

"Boss Skulucci! The two and the others are here!"

In this morning, Skulucci said hello to his subordinates-at some point in the future, one or two Japanese may come to the door. If you see a Japanese visitor, remember to show respect and inform him in time.

The facial features and hairstyles of Japanese and Ainu are very different, so Skulucci's subordinates will not be mistaken or misunderstood.

As soon as Avjie's words fell, Skulucci laughed a few times.

"Is it finally here!"

Having said that, Skulucci is like a kid throwing a tired toy aside, he threw his saber and whetstone aside, and then strode out.

He is going to meet Ogata and them personally.

Skulucci currently has only 12 men with him.

With such a small number of people, the camp is naturally not too big.

After only a few steps, Skulucci saw a man and a woman standing outside Dayingkou—it was Ogata and Amachi.

"Good afternoon! Mr. Majima! Miss Amachi!" Skulucci greeted Ogata and Amachi in a very warm tone.

Ogata and Amachi also bowed softly to Skulucci and responded loudly.

"You are so timely!" Skulucci smiled, "I'm just so bored that I can only kill time by sharpening the knife!"

"Come on, come in! If you have been standing at Yingkou and talking, it won't look good."

Skulucci led Ogata through the camp gate and walked towards the tent where he was staying.

Ogata had been to Skulucci’s camp once last night, so these men of Skulucci basically recognized Ogata and Amachi.

However, even though they had seen Ogata and Amachi, they still gathered around not far away and looked at the two with curious eyes.

Since they came to the Far East, they have basically wandered around Ezo land, and they have not seen Japanese people much.

The clothes, weapons, and hairstyles worn by Ogata and Amachi all aroused their strong curiosity.

Ogata, who was walking behind Skulucci, asked Skulucci in front of him:

"Skulucci, you asked the Chief Chepke to give us a message and let us come over. What's the matter? Are you asking for clues to the person you are looking for?"

Ogata is a person who likes to be straightforward, so he went straight to the subject.

"Ah, business or something, don't worry about it." Skulucci waved his hand, "Wait until I get to my tent."

Ogata followed behind Skulucci and went into the tent where Skulucci lived.

"Come on! Show you something good!"

As soon as he entered the tent, Skulucci went straight to a long cloth bag placed on the edge of his hammock.

Skulucci lifted the cloth bag and untied the string that bound it, revealing the contents of the cloth bag—two swords.

A long sword with a very thin body and a cage-shaped guard.

Looking at the two swords, Ogata couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Even if he has no knowledge or interest in swords, he has seen pictures of this kind of sword in various channels in his previous life, and has heard the name of this kind of sword-stabbing sword.

As a native Japanese, Ah Ding has never seen a thorn sword.

So after Skulucci unfolded the cloth bag and exposed the two swords hidden in the cloth bag, Ah Ding kept looking at the two swords with curious eyes.

"Is this... a sword?" Ah Ding said, "The sword is so thin... Can this cut people?"

"Of course it can slash people." Skulucci laughed. "It's called the stabbing sword. Although it can slash people, its sword skills are mainly stabbing."

"These two swords are my favorite swords, and they are expensive to build. I have been fighting with these swords all the way to this day."

Ogata cast a surprised look at Skulucci.

"You were good at using thorn swords?" Ogata asked.

"The Cossack's Chasik knife, I'm also very good at it." Skulucci shrugged. "But I only use a saber when riding a horse. In foot combat, I still prefer to use a stabbing sword. ."

After all, Skulucci put one of the two stabbing swords on the hammock.

Then he held the stabbing sword in his hand with his left hand.

"Mr. Majima." Skulucci smiled at Ogata, "I want to try it with you."

"Competition?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.

Ah Ding also looked at Skulucci in surprise.

"I used a telescope to see your heroic figure fighting with two knives last night," said Skulucci. "This is the first time I have seen a person using two knives."

"In my hometown, the use of double knives is not popular."

"So I have never competed with someone who uses double knives."

"So I really want to compete with you."

Skulucci said sternly.

"Mr. Mashima, please let me compete with you. I really want to experience what'double swordsmanship' is like."

Ogata looked up and down Skulucci several times.

"...You, the mayor of Tochepuk, brought me a message and asked me to come to you just to compete with me?" Ogata asked.

"You can say so." Skulucci smiled.

"I just want to have a friendly discussion with you."

While talking, Skulucci slowly pulled out the scabbard he held in his left hand.

"The sword in my hand is called a ‘foil sword’, and it’s specially designed for non-deathless discussions with others."

"The stabbing sword I just threw on the hammock is the real stabbing sword that can kill people."

Speaking of this, Skulucci happened to have completely pulled out the sword in his hand.

Skulucci showed the blade of this sword to Ogata—without an open front, the sword head was round.

It is indeed a sword that will not cause death.

"...Are you really going to compete with me?" Xu confirmed to Skulucci.

"To be precise. I want to compete with you who uses dual knives." Skulucci corrected. "I just want to see'Double Swordsmanship', so I want to be brighter with you."

"Unexpectedly, you are also a person who is obsessed with swordsmanship..." Ogata nodded slightly, "Okay, then I'll compete with you."

Ogata doesn't hate Skulucci.

It would be better to say that he has a good impression of this very bold man.

Yesterday, he was very enthusiastic to inform the Chief of Chepke in Chinar Village that "there is a group of Cossacks who are going to looting everywhere, so prepare early."

Last night, led his subordinates to do their best to assist the villagers in Qina Village.

Afterwards, when Chepke asked to send their doctor to help them, he said very boldly that only meat and wine would be enough. There was no big mouth from the lion, and a bunch of conditions that would make Chepke and the others embarrassing.

These righteous deeds of Skulucci alone made it difficult for Ogata to hate Skulucci.

It’s not impossible to compete with him anyway.

Ogata himself couldn't remember how many people he had been obsessed with swordsmanship and were similar to Wuzu before.

And-Ogata also wanted to compete with Skulucci.

He has never seen "thorn swordsmanship".

Ogata felt a little irritated when he thought that Skulucci was carrying swordsmanship he had never seen before-he wanted to experience this brand new swordsmanship he had never seen before.

"Need I give you some time to cut a wooden knife?" Skulucci asked.

"No." Ogata shook his head. "I'll just take the scabbard."

After all, Ogata took the lead out of the tent. Ah Ding and Skulucci followed closely behind.

"How about here?" Ogata walked to a clearing and asked Skulucci.

"No problem!" Skulucci threw the scabbard aside.

Ogata changed some positions and walked to the opposite side of Skulucci, then pulled out Oshaten and Ozazao, and handed them to Amachi who was on the side to let her take care of them. Then, he drew out the scabbards of the two swords. The scabbard is used as a knife.

Skulucci and their camp are so big, so no matter who is doing things in the camp, everyone else can quickly find out.

As soon as Ogata and Skulucci picked up their respective rooms and stood face to face on both sides, the few people who had seen the scene not far away immediately rushed to join in the excitement.

Anyone with a little brain can see what Ogata and Skulucci are going to do.

In a short while, the news that "the boss wants to discuss with the other person" spread throughout the camp.

The crowd headed by Avjie surrounded Ogata and Skulucci, looking excited and expectant at the two standing in the circle formed by them.

In a lack of entertainment, watching other people's duels and competitions is one of their favorite pleasures.

"Boss! Come on!"

"Go!"

"Get started!"

Skulucci's men shouted loudly.

Their yelling made the atmosphere of the scene become lively.

I don't know who it is, suddenly proposed to bet some money to increase the excitement of this competition.

After this guy proposed to bet money, everyone immediately participated enthusiastically. One after another they took out money or items to bet on winning or losing.

They placed a dagger and a smoking gun on the ground.

The dagger represents Ogata, and the smoke gun represents Skulucci.

If you want to bet on who wins, put your property next to the thing that represents that person.

"I bet the boss wins!"

"The boss must win! I haven't seen the boss lose one-on-one with someone!"

"Hey! I bet that Japanese win! I think that Japanese seems to be a little better!"

These subordinates of Skulucci also knew a little about Ogata’s feat last night—because Skulucci told them afterwards that the village was saved thanks to Ogata’s single-handed killing of nearly half. Enemy.

So some people bet Ogata to win.

But in general, the vast majority of people still choose to bet their more familiar boss wins.

Standing not far away, Ah Ding discovered the gambling game held by Afujie and the others.

After trotting to the side of the group who organized the gambling game, Ah Ding asked:

"Are you gambling money?"

Although they had language barriers, Ah Ting managed to communicate with these people through gestures and expressions.

After confirming that they were indeed gambling money and that the dagger represented Ogata, a thief smile appeared on Amachi's face.

A Ting, who desperately held back a smile, took out her purse and took out 5 large sums of money.

"I want to bet too! Can this be used for gambling money?" A Ding shook the coin in his hand and showed a questioning expression at Afujie.

After looking at the five large sums of gold that Ah Ding placed next to the dagger, everyone around him looked straight.

Because they saw it—it was gold.

Although they can't use this coin, they can use gold.

After understanding the meaning of Ah Ding's expression, Afujie and others nodded hurriedly, and answered Ah Ding with expressions and actions: Of course.

After confirming that the large sum of money in his hand can also be used for gambling, Amachi continued to hold back his smile and placed the 5 large sums of money in his hand next to the dagger symbolizing Ogata.

Ogata and Skulucci were warming up while they were gambling there happily in Amachi.

After the warm-up, the two put on their own postures.

Skulucci poses as a fencer who reminds Ogata of his previous life.

And Ogata also carried two scabbards as he wished by Skulucci, and put on a posture of two swords.

"Are you ready?" Skulucci asked.

Ogata: "Teach anytime."

"Then please do it!"

Skulucci shook the sword in his hand, then threw it straight at Ogata.

The rapier in his hand bit like a snake out of a hole in Ogata's chest.

Bang!

No-Self-Sword Stream·Blade Rebellion.

Ogata's scabbard collided with Skulucci's unopened blade, making a dull sound.

After a miss, Skulucci jumped back with agile footwork without any hesitation, and distanced himself from Ogata again.

This is the first time Ogata has witnessed Western "swordsmanship" and competed with people who use Western "swordsmanship".

Because he wanted to learn more about this "stab sword", Ogata adopted a conservative style of play, focusing on defense and evasion.

While defending and avoiding Skulucci's attacks, he was observing Skulucci's movements.

Not only does Skulucci hold the sword in a posture that resembles that of a fencer in his previous life, but his attacking movements and footwork are no different from those of fencers in his previous life.

The "stab sword" used by Skulucci seems to be very focused on footwork.

In just a few minutes, Skulucci circled Ogata 10 times, changing the rhythm of footwork no less than 20 times.

He bounced around with his flexible footwork to confuse his opponent and find the best time to attack.

And his attack is dominated by stabbing.

So far, Ogata hasn't seen Skulucci use other moves besides stabs.

Although Skulucci's posture and actions are very similar to the fencing players Ogata has seen on TV and on the Internet in his previous life.

But Ogata felt that Skulucci's movements were much sharper than those fencers he had seen in his previous life.

It's not that the level of those fencers is poor.

It's that those fencers are not as vigorous as Skulucci.

As a Cossack from far Eastern Europe, Skulucci is certainly not a "white lotus" who has never killed a single person.

Because of many **** battlefields and many life-and-death battles, Skulucci's pupils and swords are entwined with a fierce aura.

His sword follows the "quick sword" route.

The attack speed is extremely fast, the stabbing sword is fast, and the sword closing is also fast.

In the eyes of the onlookers Afjie and others, every time Skulucci took a sword, they would be dazzled-because their eyes simply couldn't keep up with their boss's sword.

However-in Ogata's eyes, Skulucci's sword is still slower than Shuntaro.

If it was compared with the two cannibal bears that Ogata had dealt with before, it would be even more incomparable.

In other words: Skulucci's sword speed is not so fast that Ogata feels tricky.

Skulucci's onslaught of constantly changing footwork is quite physically exhausting.

After seeing that he stabbed more than 20 swords against Ogata in succession, and no one could successfully stab Ogata, Skulucci's face sank.

He has already felt that-if he continues to fight like this, he is afraid that he will lose.

He did not make any reservations.

From the very beginning of the battle, he has gone all out.

According to the conventional style of play, it should be impossible to win.

So, in order to win, Skulucci decided to take the risk and decide the victory with one blow.

He took a deep breath, then took a sprint, slamming towards Ogata.

This is a sword that Skulucci tried his best.

Because I have instilled all my strength in it, the strength and speed are extremely sufficient.

However-in the face of Ogata's blade rebellion, who had already risen to the "Grandmaster level", Skulucci's stabbing was still too weak.

Bang!

The sword that Skulucci tried his best was blocked by Ogata.

Ogata had already seen enough "swordsmanship" at this time.

So turned from defense to offense.

At the next moment when he used the blade to counter the Sculucci's sword, he used the step to get to Sculucci's like a water snake.

No-self two sword flow · circulation.

Ogata waved Oshaten's scabbard in his right hand and swept it toward Skulucci's belly.

When he was about to hit Skulucci's stomach, Ogata quickly stopped.

Looking at the scabbard clinging to his stomach, Skulucci was taken aback.

Then slowly revealed a strange smile.

While Skulucci smiled, those not far away who had just bet on Skulucci's win wailed.

How miserable these people were wailing, the people who won Ogata just now laughed much more happily.

Ah Ting no longer concealed it at this time, and generously showed her proud and happy thief smile.

At this moment—

Kina Village—

Chepke and the 6 most prestigious people in the village, headed by Manakl, gathered together.

The Ainu don’t have chairs, they sit on the floor.

Chepke and others just sat cross-legged on the ground, forming a circle.

Everyone present knows what the topic of this meeting is, so they all have a solemn face.

As the head of the village, Chepke broke the silence and started the meeting.

"Stop talking about unnecessary gossip, let's just start."

"Needless to say, you should know it too-the young men in our village now can be described as pitifully small."

Manakel nodded.

"There are not enough young men in the village. You should know what this means."

"With the number of males in our village now, even protecting the village is a problem..."

Speaking of this, Chepke sighed.

"Although we defeated the white-skinned people last night. The white-skinned people who will attack in the future killed most of them."

"But there are still quite a few white-skinned people who escaped."

"I'm worried that the white-skinned people who escaped will bring new reinforcements..."

"This is not impossible..."

Chepke's words directly made the people whose expressions were already very solemn become heavier and more solemn.

There were less than a hundred white-skinned people who struck last night, and they have tossed their village so miserably.

If more white-skinned people come to retaliate against them... they can't imagine what kind of scene it will be like, what kind of consequences...

"Although, although there are very few young men in our village now," a person sitting across from Chepke suddenly whispered, "but there are still many young and strong women in our village."

"If we let the women in our village receive training..."

Before the man had finished speaking, Chepke interrupted his words:

"Are you serious about what you just said? Do you really think that if the white-skinned people come to attack us again, the women in our village and the only remaining men can repel the white-skinned people?"

The person was silent, he lowered his head, watching his nose and his heart.

"We were lucky last night, with the help of Goro Majima and Skulucci."

Chepke continued sternly.

"But we can't be lucky forever."

"It's impossible to always have a Majima Goro or Skulucci come forward to help us."

"We must save ourselves."

"As for how to save myself, I have been thinking about ways since last night."

"In my opinion, the most feasible way for us to save ourselves is—"

Chepke paused.

Then he said word by word:

"Refuge in'He Yezhe'."

As soon as Chepke's voice fell, the faces of everyone present changed drastically.

"'Heyezhe'?"

"Refuge in'He Yezhe'?"

Everyone at the scene is chattering, you look at me, I look at you.

"'He Yezhe'..." an old man said solemnly, "I remember that'He Yezhe' was very famous in Hokkien in recent years."

"Yeah. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Another old man sitting next to him nodded, "Kazuto has always wanted to surrender the people of'He Yezhe. But the people of He Yezhe have always disagreed.

As soon as this person's voice fell, another person added:

"I remember Kazuto seems to like to call'Heyezhe''Red Moon Fortress'. It's really a bad name."
