The soldiers who had come to their senses were now launching counterattacks one by one.

But their level... is like a rabbit trying to attack a tiger with its paws.

As soon as he got away from "Soldier 5", a soldier shouted and raised his spear high to stab Ogata.

After noticing the location of "Soldier 6" and the attack he issued from the corner of his eye, Ogata did not run away directly, but went directly towards "Soldier 6".

Ogata first lowered his body, avoiding the soldier's stabbing attack, and then approached "Soldier 6" in one breath. Then he stretched out his hands, grabbed the right shoulder of "Soldier 6" with his left hand, and grabbed "Soldier 6" with his right hand.

On the left waist of "Soldier 6", use Shiranui-ryu jujitsu to knock "Soldier 6" directly to the ground.

Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

There were two sounds of drawing swords - after knocking "Soldier 6" down, Ogata took away the two swords from "Soldier 6"'s waist, then swung his wakizashi and stabbed "Soldier 6" in the throat.

With two swords in hand, Ogata's enemy-killing efficiency directly rises to a higher level.

The "Mugo Two Sword Style" is originally good at one-to-many swordsmanship, but in this situation, its power has been fully displayed.

Ogata's katana was seen drawing an arc in the air. The sharp blade cut off the heads of two soldiers of similar height in one go. At the same time, Ogata stabbed his side with his wakizashi.

of a soldier who was about to sneak up on him.

When the katana and wakizashi were swung again, the faces or throats of three more people were cut open.

Immediately afterwards, Ogata relied on brute force to pierce a soldier's body with a katana. In the blink of an eye, the wakizashi shot out of Ogata's hand and pierced the face of a soldier.

Ogata's main attack site was the throats of these soldiers - it happened to be the place where the bleeding was quite large, so the blood had not stopped spraying since just now.

Handful after handful of blood poured out from Ogata's blade, and then scattered on the snow-covered ground.

There is no trace of white in the surrounding land. As far as the eye can see, it is all "red snow" dyed red with blood.

In such a fierce battle with one enemy against many, Ogata did not have enough room to dodge the splattered blood. From the beginning, Ogata became a bloody man.

Ogata just kept repeating the steps of grabbing the sword, killing people, and grabbing the sword again...

Because Ogata was the only enemy, the soldiers were given the illusion that they could defeat Ogata with their numerical superiority.

It wasn't until Ogata killed "Soldier 19" that the remaining people finally realized how wrong their misconception was.

The people who were still alive began to run away in all directions. In order to run faster, most of them simply threw away the weapons in their hands.

If it weren't for the fact that the armor was not so easy to take off, they might just throw it away.

After all, Ogata only had one pair of hands and one pair of feet, so it was impossible to catch up and kill all the soldiers who were fleeing in all directions.

Because the pistol could not fit into the gap between the armor and the cloth, in order to put on the camouflage armor, Ogata left his Umeizen, Kasumi Nagi, Daishiten and Daijizai in that building.

In civilian houses, there was no way to kill these fleeing soldiers with pistols.

After catching up with a few people and killing them, the remaining soldiers completely disappeared and they couldn't catch up even if they wanted to.

After seeing that there were no enemies still standing in the field of vision, Ogata threw away the knife in his hand, picked up a handful of white snow that was not contaminated by blood, and smeared it on his face. After wiping the blood on his face, he took off his armor.

, while walking slowly towards Izawa who was still struggling to get up.

"You, who are you?" Izawa endured the pain and tried to get up, but because his leg was too seriously injured and the residual pain from Ogata's heavy blow to his flank just now was still there, Izawa now had nothing but

Writhing on the ground like a maggot, unable to do anything except struggle.

"Just a passing ronin." Ogata responded in a calm tone.

…

…

"...It's so miserable..." Looking at the mountain of corpses in front of him, A-Machi couldn't help but murmured with an unbearable expression.

"We arrived a step too late..." Ogata, who was standing next to Atachi, whispered, "We couldn't save anyone..."

After getting rid of the group of soldiers who stayed in the village, leaving only Izawa alive, Oufang took back the Da Shi Tian, ​​Da Zi Zai, and his two pistols that had just been placed in the house.

, and allowed Atachi and others who had been hiding outside the village just now to show up.

When Ogata and the others arrived at the village, the soldiers had almost finished cleaning up the battlefield.

Corpses one after another were piled in a corner of the village by the soldiers, many of them missing their heads.

Both Ogata and Atachi knew that the army followed a system of "discussing combat merit by head," so they naturally knew that most of the heads of these corpses were removed as a result of combat merit.

Ogata and others are now standing in front of this mountain of corpses, staring blankly at the mountain of corpses in front of them with heavy expressions.

As for Lilata - she was speechless and choked, slumped on the ground, staring blankly at the two male corpses and one female corpse in front of her.

These three corpses were those of Lilata's grandfather, father, and mother. Ogata and the others had just worked together to dig them out for Lilata from the mountain of corpses.

The three corpses all looked miserable.

Grandpa's body suffered severe injuries to his abdomen and was almost broken in two.

The father's body was headless.

The clothes on the mother's corpse were very messy... Although it had not been violated, it had probably been subjected to many rude actions...

Perhaps because she had cried so much that all her tears had dried up, Lilata did not cry anymore, but stared blankly at the corpses of her relatives with red eyes.

"Huh?" At this time, Ating suddenly looked at the ground not far away, "This person is actually dead..."

Ogata followed Amachi's gaze and looked over - he saw that Izawa, who had just been captured by him, had made no sound.

Just now, Ogata tortured Izawa a lot.

As a general, Izawa has a high status in the army, so he naturally knows a lot of information.

After some torture, Oufon asked many things from Izawa's mouth.

For example-their large force that attacked this village has returned to the military camp.

For example--their army is now divided into three armies. The one to which Izawa belongs and is responsible for bringing peace to the village is the First Army with 3,000 troops.

Another example - the one who decided to attack this village was their army commander-in-chief, Daomori.

Another example - I learned that the shogunate attacked this village just because it felt that this village was very likely to become an ally of the Red Moon Fortress...

Just now, after hearing the name "Inamori" from Izawa's mouth, Ogata couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Feeling that the name seemed familiar, Ogata asked Izawa about the full name of "Inamori".

After learning that the full name of "Inamori" was "Inamori Masaya", Ogata suddenly remembered who this person was.

The name Inamori Masaya is not unfamiliar to Ogata.

He vaguely remembered that he had seen that Inamori when he was brought to Butterfly Island. It was this Inamori who was on the front line of Kii.

When he was interrogating Izawa just now, Ogata had already noticed that Izawa was very weak when he spoke. This was probably because Ogata had suffered internal injuries when he hit Izawa hard on the side.

After a lot of struggle, he finally stopped breathing completely just now.

When Ogata looked away from Izawa, Aizan walked towards Ogata and the others at that moment.

"Mr. Majima, Miss Atachi." Aizan said solemnly, "Let's find some fish oil together and burn these corpses."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded lightly, "Let's go."

"What should we do about the child?" Atachi nodded his chin towards Lilatana, who was still sitting on the ground.
