I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Latest URL: If you rashly lead your subordinates into the village to help the villagers deal with Vladimir and the others, you will definitely be accidentally injured by the villagers of Qina Village.

After all, Skulucci and Vladimir are both Cossacks, and they are exactly the same in appearance, horses, and weapons they use.

In other words, Scruucci was born in Scotland, so the appearance is slightly different.

The villagers of China Village don't know which are the Skulucci people who came to help and which are the people who attacked their village.

So Scruucci did not take his men into the village.

Instead, they chose to conduct remote support outside the village.

boom! boom! boom! boom……

Gunshots rang out one after another.

"Afja! Well done!"

In order to better observe the situation of the village, Scruucci stood on the back of his war horse and looked at the village with a telescope.

Scruzzy's horse has been with Scruucci for many years. Under Scruucci's training, he is extremely docile, and at the same time, he has a very tacit understanding with Scruucci.

When Skulucci stood on its back, it didn't move, making Skulucci seem to be standing on flat ground.

"You shot another guy!"

"You're a fucking shooting genius!"

"Just by your shooting skills, you can become a duke!"

"If I were the king of England, I would definitely make you a duke!"

"The fief is set in Connaught, I will make you the Duke of Connaught!"

Scruucci didn't have all 12 of his current men at gunpoint -- that would be too slow.

Not all of his minions have excellent marksmanship.

So Scruucci divided his men into three groups of four.

In each group, one person shoots and the other three reload the person who shoots.

The Kentucky Long Rifle is the most advanced rifle currently available,

It has a long range and good accuracy, and its reload speed is much faster than its "predecessors".

Kentucky long rifles use a special method of loading.

The projectile is wrapped with oil-soaked linen cloth or buckskin sheet, and loaded into the muzzle, which reduces friction, not only speeds up the loading speed, but also plays a role of air-holding, which speeds up the accuracy and range of the bullet to a certain extent.

But—although the loading speed is faster than its "predecessors", it is also limited in speed.

A person who can hit 3 or 4 in a minute without the help of others to reload is already an incredible proficiency.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the barrage does not stop, let the person with the best shooting skills be responsible for shooting, and at the same time, assign a few people to help reload, which is a very common gun tactic in this era.

While the shooter takes aim, the reloader reloads the empty gun.

After the shooter finishes shooting, the person who loads the bullet will hand over the loaded rifle to the shooter, and then he will take the rifle that has just been fired from the shooter and continue to reload, repeating.

Under Sculucci's configuration, although there are only 4 people in charge of shooting, because each shooter has 3 people responsible for loading it, these 4 shooters can continue to shoot, and the bullets fired The scene is enough to pose a big threat to Vladimir and others in the village.

Afjay was one of the four shooters.

Afjay, who was born in Orion, has acquired excellent shooting skills since he was a child.

So far, Afjay's record is the most outstanding. He has killed 4 enemies so far.

"Boss Scruucci!"

When Afja handed over the empty gun to the companion in charge of loading, he cast a worried look at Skulucci.

"Don't stand on horseback! It's too dangerous! If you are hit by a stray bullet, you will be in trouble! You should also know what the consequences will be if you are hit by a bullet, right?"

"If you get hit on the upper body, you will die! If you get hit on the limbs, you can only amputate them!"

Afjay tries to get Scruucci to jump off his horse in fear and stop standing on it by detailing the dangers of being hit by a bullet.

Now not only rifles are rapidly evolving, but even bullets are also rapidly evolving.

In the past, even though it was very dangerous to be hit by a bullet, as long as the important parts were not damaged and the treatment was done in time, one's life could still be saved.

But it's different now.

If it is hit by a bullet now, it will be troublesome.

Bullets used to fly straight, but now bullets can spin and fly.

This spinning bullet is extremely destructive.

When it hits the human body, it will cause great damage to the tissues inside the human body.

So what Afjay said just now is not alarmist talk. It's all true.

Many subordinates of Vladimir and Alexei have now discovered that a group of uninvited guests are shooting and harassing them outside the village, and many of their companions have fallen under the guns of those people.

Now they also launched a counterattack against Skulucci and others with the muskets in their hands.

However——because there are still many villagers in the village who are fighting fiercely, and at the same time there is an extra Ogata, so Vladimir, Alexei and their subordinates are at a loss, and the counterattacks are sparse.

But no one can guarantee that a stray bullet will not just hit Skulucci who is standing high on his horse.

To Afjay's persuasion, Skulucci's reaction was—laughed a few times.

"Hahahahaha."

Then he said:

"To die in this beautiful snow-white country... seems like a good idea!"

After that, Skulucci, who laughed a few more times, ignored Afjay, and continued to stand on the horseback, checking the situation of the village with the binoculars in his hand.

Seeing that Sculucci couldn't be persuaded, Afjay sighed softly, picked up the rifle in his hand, and practiced his shooting mission wholeheartedly.

Scruucci had been keeping a close eye on the village with his binoculars.

He had been observing the situation in the village, and gradually discovered that the screams in this village seemed to be gradually decreasing.

The screams became less, and the most likely scenario that Skulucci could think of was that almost all the villagers had been killed, and Vladimir and the others started looting the spoils.

But if it is true that all the villagers have been killed, then Vladimir and the others will definitely lead a large force to settle accounts with Skulucci and the others—but until now, Skulucci has not seen anyone seeking to settle accounts with them peloton.

Just as Skulucci was thinking about what was going on in the village, Skulucci, who was turning the telescope to a new position, suddenly saw Vladimir.

He was leading some people and stopped in place, not knowing what he was doing.

Not long after seeing Vladimir and the others, Skulucci saw a figure that made him raise his eyebrows—the figure of Ogata.

Skulucci saw that Ogata was burying his body low and approaching Vladimir and the others from behind. He probably wanted to surprise Vladimir and the others.

Just now when he saw Ogata strode out of his camp without saying a word, Scruucci could tell from Ogata's expression what he wanted to do.

It's a pity that due to his limited field of vision, Scruucci hadn't found Ogata in the village just now.

Although he was standing on horseback, his height was still too short, and Skulucci couldn't see many directions in the village of Kina.

This is the first time that Ogata's figure appears in the lens of the telescope after Skulucci pointed the telescope at China Village.

Looking at Ogata appearing in the lens of the telescope, Scruucci involuntarily pursed his lips.

The scene where he mistook Ogata's back for another person's back just now is still fresh in Scruucci's memory.

He was still puzzled until now—why he mistook Ogata's back for that person's back just now.

While Skulucci was still immersed in doubts about this matter——Ogata managed to get close to Vladimir and the others without being noticed by Vladimir and the others.

The long and short swords in Ogata's hands turned into two beams of light and swept towards Vladimir and the others.

Swinging a knife at the enemy—it was obviously just a very ordinary scene, but at this moment, Scruzzi's pupils shrank suddenly.

Then he held the lens barrel of the telescope tightly with both hands, and his eye sockets were tightly pressed against the lens, as if he wanted to crush the lens of the lens.

Scruucci through the telescope, dead

Ogata's sword-wielding movements, his sword-wielding skills—Skulucci stared at all of these.

He didn't even seem to want to blink more.

...

...

Alexei is not someone who knows nothing about knives and swords. He had also participated in wars in Eastern Europe before, beheading many heads with his own hands.

His knife is not a knife that has only been swung against the air, but a knife that has been bathed in a lot of human blood and participated in a death fight.

Because of this, Alexei could see how amazing Ogata's skill was just now.

And - he had played against Vladimir.

Although he didn't want to admit it, but in terms of knife skills and actual combat experience, Vladimir was indeed superior to him.

He asked himself - there was no way he could kill Vladimir so easily and comfortably.

Seeing that Vladimir collapsed before he could utter a scream, a thought flashed through Alexei's mind: Well, let's run away.

Although he knew that running away was shameful, his body still moved very honestly, pulled the reins, and drove the war horse under his crotch to lead him away from Ogata.

Although he couldn't see the eyes of the subordinates beside him, Alexei could still feel keenly that they were looking at him with strange eyes.

Alexei, who was looked at by these gazes, only felt uncomfortable, as if a hundred ants were crawling on his body.

In order to restore his dignity as the leader, Alexei held on to his serious face, stiffened his neck, and said loudly:

"Let's plan a retreat first!"

"That Japanese guy is much more powerful than imagined! We are not safe enough with just a few of us!"

"Let's gather the subordinates who are scattered everywhere! Shoot him with muskets! No matter how powerful he is, can he still be stronger than guns..."

boom!

Before Alexei finished speaking, he heard a gunshot in the distance behind.

Then—

"咴咴咴咴咴咴咴咴咴咴咴......"

The horse on Alexei's lap groaned.

Alexei saw the scenery in front of him quickly pass by, and the pale land covered with snow rushed towards him.

Immediately afterwards, Alexei saw countless gold stars flying in front of his eyes, and a crushing pain spread all over his body.

The horse under Alexei's crotch fell to the ground suddenly, causing Alexei, who was sitting behind him, to also fall from the horse's back.

At the same time—because Alexei was at the forefront of their group, Alexei and his horse fell to the ground, and all the guards behind him were tripped.

Due to the short distance and the sudden change, Alexei's guards had no time to react.

The group of people fell into a coma as if they had been in a series of rear-end car accidents.

Somewhere about 200 meters behind them, there was a faint smoke from the muzzle of a Kentucky long rifle.

And the person holding this Kentucky long rifle——It was A-cho.

...

...

When Ogata rushed to attack Vladimir alone, A-Ming, who knew that he would not be of much help if he followed him, lurked to a hidden high place without any complaints or words, and helped Ogata guard the surroundings.

The location chosen by A-machi is very particular—it just happens to be lurking in the position where Su Sakura can effectively attack the enemies around Ogata.

If there is any accident next to Ogata, for example: a guy pretends to be dead and plans to attack Ogata while Ogata is not paying attention, A-cho can use her Su Sakura to remotely support Ogata-although A-cho feels The chances of this happening are very small.

Atachi, who has been helping to guard the surroundings, discovered Alexei and his party who suddenly appeared in time.

She thought that this group of people came to encircle Ogata after hearing the news.

"There are new enemies to the west!"

A-machi Asaogata uttered this warning loudly. And Ogata just killed Vladimir with one move at this time.

Then—the group of A-Machi thought they were coming to encircle Ogata, and while she was warning Ogata, they reined in their horses and fled in the direction they had just come without the slightest hesitation.

A-cho: "???"

When he saw this group of people running away without any hesitation, the expression on A-Machi's face was so weird that it was hard to describe in words.

A-Machi guessed that this group of people probably ran away out of fear after seeing Ogata's skill with their own eyes.

Why this group of people ran away suddenly——Ming didn't know.

All she knew was that these people were part of the group that came to rob the village tonight, they were enemies.

Although A-Ming's beautiful appearance, it is easy to give people the illusion that she is a weak woman.

But in essence, her actual combat experience and the enemies who died under her hands are much stronger and more numerous than those samurai who only swung the "Dojo Sword" in the dojo on weekdays.

Many samurai who have only wielded the "dojo sword" may not have even killed a chicken.

In the face of the enemy, Ah Ding never relents.

Alexei and his group escaped on horseback. Even if Ogata got on his horse immediately, it would be difficult to catch up with them because of the timing behind Alexei and the others.

So after seeing Alexei and the others escape, A-Machi made an instant judgment—to help Ogata stop them!

But this group of people is far away from A-cho, which has exceeded Su Ying's effective attack range, and A-cho is not sure that he can use Su Ying to shoot accurately at such a long distance.

At this moment, Ah-Ming suddenly remembered - she just grabbed a new weapon.

A musket that, according to Vasily, could hit a long distance.

There is a bullet in this new weapon that he just snatched.

A-Ming quickly took off the Kentucky long rifle behind his back, and then assumed his best and most accustomed shooting posture:

Sitting on the ground with the buttocks open, the legs are spread and the knees are bent, the arms are placed on the knees, the gun is held in the right hand, and the musket is placed above the left arm.

The left hand pinches the wrist of the right hand so that I can hold the gun more stably later.

This posture of sitting on the ground and shooting sideways at the enemy has been "sealed" by A-cho since he left Butterfly Island because he could not get a long-barreled musket in his hand.

Putting on this familiar pose after a long absence made Ah-cho feel a different kind of intimacy.

This shooting position was developed by Ah-Ming himself, and it can hold the long-barreled musket more stably.

This was the first time that Machi held and used a Kentucky long rifle.

Regardless of weight, center of gravity, and feel, it is completely different from the muskets used by A-Machi before.

So A-cho can't guarantee that he can accurately hit the target he wants to shoot.

And whether this gun can really hit such a long distance as Vasili said before, A-cho doesn't know.

With the mentality of "trying it out", she pointed her gun at Alexei and others.

A-cho's target was the mount of Alexei who was running ahead.

Her purpose is to confuse these guys, so that they can't escape in time.

Alexei's mount, who ran at the forefront, was naturally the best target.

After shooting down Alexi's mount, Alexi and the rest of the people behind him tripped to the ground in one breath-this is the most ideal situation in Ah Ding's vision, although whether this situation can Happens, depends on luck.

Relying on his previous experience of using long-barreled muskets and his own intuition, A-Ming aimed the gun at the position where Alexei's horse would pass by in the next moment.

Then, as if all the strength of the whole body was stored in the right index finger, he pulled the trigger forcefully.

boom!

Hot bullets whirled and flew out of the barrel, piercing the air.

"咴咴咴咴咴咴咴咴咴咴咴......"

Alexei's mount let out a wail—the bullet fired by A-Ding hit his left calf.

Alexei and the guards behind him were all thrown into the snow due to the sudden fall of Alexei's mount.

"It turned out to be successful..." Ah-cho murmured while releasing his shooting position.

Although there was a difference between where the bullet hit and where A-Ming was aiming at—A-Ming aimed at the horse's belly, which was the largest and easiest to hit, but the bullet hit the horse's calf.

But as far as the result is concerned, Ah-cho's goal of "stirring them up" has been successfully achieved.

Using the Kentucky Long Rifle for the first time, he was able to hit the enemy-even A-Ming was very surprised and surprised.

Aiming aimed based on his previous shooting experience and intuition.

I don't know if it's thanks to my previous shooting experience or my intuition.

"It's amazing...it's really possible to hit such a long distance..." A-Ming whispered, while gently stroking the barrel of the Kentucky long rifle in his hand.

...

...

"There are new enemies to the west!"

Just when Ogata killed Vladimir with a single blow, the reminder from A-Ming, who was lurking not far away, reached Ogata's ears.

In fact, Ogata didn't need A-Machi's reminder either—Ogata had discovered Alexei and the others just before A-Machi sent out the reminder.

After beheading Vladimir from the horse, Ogata swung Da Shitian twice, and beheaded Vladimir's only two remaining subordinates who were still alive—these two men couldn't keep up with Ogata's sword speed at all. , couldn't even raise a knife to defend, so he followed in the footsteps of Vladimir and the others.

When Ogata was preparing to concentrate on dealing with Alexei and others who came suddenly, Alexei had already turned his horse and fled because he followed his inner choice.

Alexei's sudden escape directly caused Ogata to fall into a state of bewilderment.

Although this bewildered state lasted only for a moment.

Ogata hated this kind of gangster who abused the weak.

Facing the opportunity to pursue and wipe out all the enemies, Ogata really couldn't think of any reason to give up.

Therefore, Ogata, who was still standing on Vladimir's war horse, did not hesitate too much - he changed from standing to sitting, and sat on the saddle.

Ogata is not stupid enough to use his own two legs to chase the enemy's four hooves.

Fortunately, Ogata was tall enough, and there was no situation where his feet could not step on the saddle.

According to the horse riding skills he had learned from Mamiya and the others, Ogata turned the horse's head towards the direction where Alexei and the others were escaping. He knocked on the horse's belly hard.

"Bah bah bah!"

The war horse neighed lowly, and then it carried Ogata like a sharp sword off the bowstring, and rushed towards Alexei and the others.

After riding the Don horse specially used by the Cossacks, Ogata finally experienced the extraordinaryness of this kind of horse.

Whether it is explosive power or speed, it is far better than the Japanese native horse that Ogata rode before.

Compared with this hippopotamus, Japan's native horses are almost like donkeys.

Ogata was also secretly grateful—fortunately, the horse under his crotch was a well-trained horse, and he didn't throw him off the horse or refuse to listen to him just because a new man was sitting on his back. Ogata's command.

Although this Don Hippo is indeed quite powerful.

But the horses that Alexei and others rode were also Don horses.

The distance between Ogata and Alexei cannot be shortened in a short time.

Just as Ogata was thinking about what to do, he suddenly heard a gunshot from behind.

Then, the horse under Alexei's crotch in front suddenly fell to the ground, and even tripped all the guards behind him.

Ogata didn't need to look to guess who the gunshot came from.

"Nice job..."

After Ogata praised A-Machi softly, he lightly tapped the horse's belly again, increasing the speed of the horse under his crotch by another level.

The distance to Alexei and others who had fallen from the horse was shortened in one breath.

Ogata held Da Zizai with the thumb and index finger of his left hand, and the rein with the remaining three fingers.

Da Shitian in his right hand was raised high, covering the moonlight, casting a huge shadow on Alexei and the others who just got up from the ground.

laugh!

The sound of blood and bones being chopped up sounded.

The potential energy of the horse's charge, combined with Ogata's swordsmanship, how powerful is it?

Ogata felt as if he was cutting a flimsy piece of paper, and easily chopped off the head of one of Alexei's guards.

This was the first time that Ogata slashed and killed an enemy while sitting on horseback.

Sitting on horseback and slashing enemies, the most difficult thing is to find out the timing of the knife. Let the timing and speed of your knife match the speed of the horse under your crotch.

But for Ogata, who has experienced hundreds of battles and is extremely experienced in sword fighting, and has entered the "state of selflessness", such things as finding the time to draw the sword are nothing more than a trivial matter.

After slashing and killing one of Alexei's guards, Ogata reined in his horse and stopped the horse under his crotch.

Although it is very powerful to slash and kill enemies while riding a horse, the efficiency of killing enemies is very low.

Even Ogata, with the horse galloping under his crotch, couldn't kill too many people in one go.

If you want to deal with Alexei and the others on horseback, you have to charge several times to kill them all.

Ogata, who dismounted from his horse, ran towards Alexei and the others who were only a dozen steps away from him with a pair of knives in hand.

...

...

Falling off a fast-running horse—if you're unlucky, you might just fall to your death.

Alexei and the others were lucky - neither he nor his guards fell to their deaths.

However, there are varying degrees of injuries.

Alexei did not know what the rest were like.

All he knew was pain in his neck, chest, and right arm.

Although the neck hurts, but the body can barely stand up, it should not be paralyzed.

My chest hurts, but I can still breathe.

The injury to the right arm appears to be more serious.

The right arm twisted from the position of the elbow to a position that is absolutely impossible to twist normally.

Broken bones, pierced skin, exposed outside the body, just looking at it feels creepy.

But it would be inaccurate to say that Alexei and the others were lucky that they didn't fall directly to death.

Because Alexei barely got up from the ground, he saw a man riding a horse running from behind them, and then chopped off the head of a guard beside him with a knife.

It was the Japanese who killed Vladimir and others in seconds.

Afterwards, Alexei saw the Japanese get off his horse and gallop towards them...

...

...

Those who could still hold their swords hurriedly drew out their sabers.

None of the group of people who had just fallen from the horses was in good health, and only half of them could pull out their knives properly.

Ogata didn't even look at these people who drew their swords.

His gaze was fixed on Alexi the whole time—because Alexei was dressed the most gorgeously, he didn't look like a person of ordinary status.

Ogata decided to kill this guy who didn't look like an ordinary person first, and then deal with the others slowly.

But just when Ogata was about to rush to Alexei, Ogata's pupils shrank suddenly.

Because he saw - Alexei gritted his teeth with resentment on his face, took out a pistol from his pocket, and pointed the muzzle at Ogata.

After aiming the gun at Ogata who was rushing straight towards him, Alexei's eyes showed a look of pride as if he saw his plan succeed.

...

...

The musket that is popular in Europe now is the kind of flintlock pistol that can only be fired once.

Whether it is power or range, they are far inferior to long-barrel muskets.

Therefore, no matter which country it is, pistols have not been installed in the army on a large scale. Only those commanders will have pistols for self-defense and pretense.

The same goes for the Cossacks.

Only a Cossack of a certain status can own a pistol.

And Alexei happened to be one of the small group of people who were entitled to own a pistol.

Although pistols are far inferior to muskets in terms of power and range, they are very suitable for use as concealed weapons because they are easy to carry.

Alexei has always regarded his only pistol as his ultimate killer.

Alexei, who always liked to boast about his military strength, never dared to tell others that he actually relied on his pistol to overwhelm many people in many duels without spectators.

His favorite trick is to suddenly draw out his pistol to shoot at the enemy when the opponent rushes over.

This trick was tried and tested, and opponents often died under his gun because they had no time to react.

Alexei wanted to run for his life, but now the Japanese killed himself - then Alexei also decided not to make any reservations, and directly used his strongest weapon against the Japanese.

boom!

The next moment Alexey pointed the gun at Ogata, he pulled the trigger directly.

...

...

For Alexei who suddenly pulled out his pistol, while Ogata was surprised, he also felt... a strange sense of intimacy.

Suddenly drawing a gun at the enemy-isn't this what Ogata likes to do most?

There is a feeling of discovery.

Driven by this strange sense of closeness, Ogata decided to pay homage to this "fellow lover" as a fellow "pistol lover"!

boom!

Alexei fired.

For how to dodge bullets and split bullets, Ogata has his own experience, and also has the experience taught by Genichi before.

Genichi once said to Ogata in Edo: As long as you look at the muzzle of the iron cannon and the action of the enemy pulling the trigger, as long as your feet are more flexible, then anyone can dodge bullets.

Ogata deeply agrees with Genichi's words.

No small movement of Alexei can escape the eyes of Ogata who has entered the "Non-Self Realm".

After keenly seeing that Alexei's right index finger began to bend, Ogata immediately made a step and stepped to the side.

The next moment Ogata stepped aside, the bullet shot out along the barrel of the gun, passing through the position where Ogata was standing just now.

Then, Ogata held Dazizai with the ring finger and little finger of his left hand, and stretched his thumb, index finger, and middle finger into his bosom.

Pulled out his Kasumi.

Ogata decided to use his pistol to take care of this rare friend.

Let him see how the pistol works.

Raise the gun, aim, pull the trigger.

There was a shot much louder than that of Alexei's pistol.

At this distance, even Ogata would not miss it.

Kaname's bullet directly smashed Alexei's face that was still proud of "the plan was successful".

Because Ogata's movements were too fast, Alexei, who hadn't reacted at all, still had a smug expression on his face until his head was blown off.

...

...

There is nothing to say about what happened next.

After killing Alexei with one shot, Ogata took Kasumi back into his arms, and then rushed into Alexei's surviving guards.

Ogata did not use the blade.

The reason why there is no use of blade counter is also very simple.

It's just to use both knives for attack and get rid of this group of people faster.

Ogata opened his bow left and right, and put both swords in his hands into the attack on these people.

Every time Da Shitian and Da Zizai swing out, they will definitely take away a life.

It took only two short breaths for Alexey and others to become like Vladimir and others just now—a corpse that fell in the snow and whose body temperature began to drop continuously.

...

...

"Hahaha……"

Ogata's breathing has also become a little short after the battle has been fought.

Ogata didn't count how many people he and A-Ming have killed so far.

But there must still be many Cossacks who are still wandering in the village and still alive.

Ogata turned his head to look at Alexei whose head was blown off.

This guy is the same as the guy who was killed by him with a sword just now, and his status is not low at first glance. Although his head was blown off, he can still see his facial features clearly.

Ogata intends to let people hold the heads of Vladimir and Alexei, so that the remaining Cossacks who are still alive can see the heads of these two people who are not small, and the morale of the Cossacks who are still alive.

Just when Ogata was thinking about whether to let A-Machi be responsible for lifting the heads of these two people, Ogata suddenly heard an Ainu voice coming from his side:

"￥%#\u0026*%￥!"

Look sideways - a group of villagers are running towards Ogata with spears or bows and arrows, with excited expressions on their faces.

Ogata looked intently, and found that some of the faces of the Ainu people were familiar—they seemed to be the people he had just rescued.

While Ogata was thinking about how to communicate with the villagers who arrived suddenly, a middle-aged man spoke in not-so-standard Japanese:

"Thank you. Thank you very much indeed."

Ogata had some impressions of this strong man, he seemed to be one of the group of people rescued by Ogata just now.

"you are welcome."

After Ogata briefly responded to the Japanese-speaking man's thanks, he asked:

"What are you here for?"

"There are still quite a few white-skinned thieves in the village." The strong man replied sonorously, "We haven't reached the time to rest yet."

A simple sentence made it clear why they came—they wanted to continue fighting the incoming Cossacks, instead of hiding aside and watching Ogata fight alone.

After Ogata glanced at the strong man with a little surprise, he turned his gaze and quickly scanned the faces of the villagers who suddenly rushed in front of him.

A faint smile appeared on the face that was too lazy to show any expression because of entering the "Non-Self Realm".

The mental outlook of the villagers has changed a lot from before.

Most of the villagers that Ogata met just now had lost their will to fight, and only anger, fear, and nervousness remained on their faces.

But now, the group of villagers in front of Ogata are all holding the weapons in their hands tightly, their faces are full of high-spirited fighting spirit and excited interest, focusing their scorching eyes like burning flames on Ogata.

The reason why their mental outlook has undergone such a huge change is because of Ogata.

Many of them were rescued by Ogata just now.

They witnessed the helplessness of those Cossacks when they faced Ogata, and Ogata's heroic demeanor of beheading those Cossacks like chopping melons and vegetables.

It was as if a sudden fire dispelled the darkness.

The appearance of Ogata rekindled their desire to survive and the will to fight.

And Ogata also became their backbone invisibly.

Ogata also has some respect for the villagers who didn't wait for others to save them.

And these villagers who came suddenly also helped Ogata a lot.

Ogata is now wondering how to let the Cossacks who are still alive see the two guys who look like commanders he just killed.

...

...

Ogata cut off the heads of Vladimir and Alexei, and then let the fighting villagers hold them up with spears.

It's a pity that none of them speak Lucian.

If you shout "Your general has been taken by us" in Lucian, it will have an even better blow to morale.

The villagers who rekindled their fighting spirit followed Ogata and pursued the Cossacks who were still alive.

The expressions of the only remaining people changed greatly after seeing the heads of Vladimir and Alexei being held up high.

Their morale fell like an avalanche, and their fighting spirit melted away like snow in spring.

They yelled in fear as they rode their horses and fled.

But Ogata and the others stuck closely behind them, chasing and beating them fiercely.

Poisoned arrows flew out one after another, shooting down these panicked Cossacks.

The prey and the hunter—the identities between the two were reversed in such a short period of time.

...

...

China Village, the home of the village chief Chepke——

"Grandpa!" A pretty young girl with no tattoos on her face looked at the old man's left arm that was bleeding continuously, her face was full of tears.

This old man is the village head of China Village - Chepke.

And this young girl is Chepke's granddaughter.

"It's okay..." Chepke tried to force a smile at his granddaughter, "It's just a small injury."

Although he said "it's okay", his pale face didn't look like a person who was okay at all.

Just now, his left shoulder was cut by a Cossack's saber, and the blood along the wound stained his entire left arm and the clothes on his left hand.

Just when the Cossack was about to make amends for Chepke, fortunately the poisoned arrow shot by his only son successfully attacked the Cossack, otherwise Chepke's little life would have been confessed.

After saving his father, Chepke's son took charge of Chepke's temporary hiding in their home.

Chepke's daughter-in-law and granddaughter didn't know how to shoot arrows, so after the Cossacks attacked, they hid in a hidden part of the house.

When Chepke's son helped the injured Chepke back home, Chepke's daughter-in-law and granddaughter were terrified.

That's why there is this scene where the granddaughter is crying all over her face.

"Father..." the son whispered to Chepke with a heavy face, "What should we... do now?"

Hearing his son's question, Chepke couldn't help but tighten his lips, and his face became heavy along with it.

Chepke's head is actually still in a muddy state.

He still doesn't understand why the muskets used by these white-skinned people are so powerful.

The main reason why their Qina village was defeated tonight was because their bows and arrows were no match for the muskets of those white-skinned foreigners.

As far as Chepke knew, muskets should be powerful, but their range and accuracy are in a mess, and they are not much better weapons than bows and arrows.

The barrages that I saw tonight stunned Chepke.

Chepke raised his head and listened carefully to the movement outside the house.

Now there are not many screams from the villagers of their Qina village.

Only the sound of snow being trampled on and faint cheers could be heard.

——Everyone...have almost been killed...

Chepke cried out in his heart with grief.

As the head of China Village, Chepke just feels very sad now.

There were not many screams from the villagers anymore—the only explanation that Chepke could think of was that the villagers were almost killed...

The faint cheers that came to my ears should be those white-skinned bastards.

While feeling grief, Chepke also felt a deep sense of powerlessness—as the village head, he was unable to lead the villagers to resist foreign aggression.

"... Chilloo."

Chepke called his son's name, then glanced at the son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter in front of him - looking at the only three family members he had, and then continued word by word:

"Everyone else has probably been killed."

"You three escape."

"I cover you."

As soon as Chepke's words fell, his son immediately said anxiously:

"Father, no! If you want to escape, let's escape together!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Chepke scolded his son sharply, "If there is no one to help cover it, there is no way to escape."

"I'm bleeding a lot right now and my head is starting to get dizzy."

"It's most suitable for me who is already injured to be responsible for the cover."

"I'll try to get the attention of those white bastards later."

"You take the opportunity to fetch our dog sled."

"The dogs in our family may still be alive."

"You run away on dog sleds. Get as far as you can."

"Go to Cooma Village, or anywhere else."

The son just wanted to urge his father to escape with them again, don't think about it.

But after meeting his father's gaze, he just felt that thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word, so he lowered his head and wept silently.

Chepke's daughter-in-law also wept.

There was a sense of pathos in the air.

"Grandpa." Chepke's granddaughter is also a 14-year-old girl, and she doesn't know anything. She naturally knows what will happen to Chepke if Chepke stays to cover for them.

Looking at his granddaughter who was crying like a little tabby cat, Chepke put on a gentle expression.

"Don't cry. I'm just running away one step behind you."

"After I cover the escape of the three of you, I will follow you."

"So now you run away with your parents obediently, okay?"

"Hmm..." The granddaughter, whose face was covered with tears, bit her lower lip, nodded slightly, and stretched out her hands to hug Chepke.

"Grandpa, you must keep up with me in the future. After me... I want to continue to listen to you tell me about those heroic epics that have been passed down from generation to generation..."

With a gentle smile on his face, Chepke hugged his granddaughter back.

"Okay. I promise you. I will definitely keep up with you in the future, and then I will continue to tell you about the heroic epics passed down from generation to generation."

The granddaughter's eyes were already red from crying.

And after Chepke said "someday" softly again, the gentleness in the smile on his face became a bit more intense.

After letting go of his granddaughter, Chepke turned to hug his son.

"Father, I love you." Chepke's son hugged Chepke tightly, and said affectionately while weeping.

"I love you too. My son. Must live."

Chepke knew that this might be the last time he would hug his family.

So Chepke also decided to say all the things he had been afraid to tell his family before in one breath, so as not to regret it.

"Son, I'm sorry. In fact... the reason Binky died was all because of me. I was greedy for trouble, so I fed it the stinky meat..."

Binky - a dog owned by Chepke's son.

A month ago, he had a sudden fever and died of illness.

No one knew why Binky was doing this—except Chepke.

Because the day before Binqi's illness, Chepke fed the stinky meat to Binqi in order to save trouble and meat.

Chepke never knew how to speak, so he kept hiding the matter from his son.

And now that he was almost dead, Chepke had nothing to worry about.

The son was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head:

"Father, it's okay."

After letting go of his son, Chepke started to hug his daughter-in-law.

"Pari." Chepke whispered his daughter-in-law's name, "I love you."

"Father, I love you too."

"Parry, I'm sorry...".

Chepke decided to take this opportunity to tell his daughter-in-law what he had never dared to tell his daughter-in-law.

"The wine your parents gave us before, I actually drank it secretly... I just wanted to take a sip, but after I took a sip, I found it was really delicious, so I decided to drink more, and I came to my senses By the time I had finished drinking..."

The daughter-in-law froze for a moment, then shook her head.

"Father, it's okay."

After finishing these two things that had been kept in his heart and dared not to say in one breath, Chepke only felt that his whole body weight had become lighter, and he was in a very happy mood.

He has no regrets.

Son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter—after everyone embraced vigorously, Chepke grabbed the spear next to him with his uninjured right hand with a determined expression.

"Let's go."

Chepke said.

"I'm going to help you attract those white-skinned bastards."

"You look at the time and go for a sleigh ride!"

After finishing speaking, Chepke held the spear tightly, with a sad and determined face, and strode out of the house.

However—after rushing out of the house, the scene that appeared in front of Chepke and the others made the expressions of Chepke and the others freeze.

Ogata, with half of his clothes on and his skin spattered with blood, stood not far away with a knife in his hand.

Behind him, there are some villagers with very excited and excited expressions.

"Village Chief!" A villager shouted excitedly, "Finally found you!"

"we won!"

"Thanks to Kazuto! The culprits have all been repulsed! We won!"

The villagers cheered one after another.

Chepke's expression also changed rapidly.

He was ecstatic at first.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, his expression froze suddenly.

The color of ecstasy slowly turned into a strange and awkward expression that is difficult to describe in words...

Now... he doesn't dare to look back at his son and daughter-in-law behind him...

Regarding the figure of A-Ming, everyone can imagine Tifa's figure.

What? You don't know Tifa? Well, it's normal if you don't know, after all, my wife is not a well-known existence. If you don’t know what kind of person my wife’s figure is, you can go to Baidu.
