I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 178: An Uninhabited Village (Part 1)

Without exception, these 18 soldiers all stared round their eyes, and they did not rest in peace.

There was a look of astonishment in his pupils and face.

The boat was filled with a strange pink liquid made of rainwater, sea water, and blood.

Some soldiers died in such a miserable state that they were directly divided into two, and various internal organs leaked everywhere.

Some of the guards and subordinates beside Inamori turned pale and almost vomited when they saw such a tragic situation.

And the little officer who had found the missing boat and dragged it back had turned over from his boat and walked quickly to Inamori's side.

"General." The junior officer said in a deep voice, "This missing boat... I found it somewhere on the coast of Butterfly Island."

"After I found this missing boat, I saw such a tragic situation..."

All the soldiers on the small boat that was responsible for escorting the prisoners to the island died tragically - anyone who thinks about it with their buttocks must have done a good thing by the prisoners on this small boat.

"Which prisoner is this boat responsible for transporting?!" Inamori roared at a subordinate behind him.

"It's 'Monk' Yichun." The subordinate said with a sullen face, without thinking, "Only the boat responsible for escorting 'Monk' Yichun is equipped with a full 18 soldiers..."

"'Monk' Izumi...!" Inamori gritted his teeth.

In the past few months, they have sent 4 batches of prisoners to Butterfly Island.

But the soldiers responsible for escorting the prisoners to the island were all massacred-this was the first time.

This made Inamori feel a great sense of shame.

If it wasn't that he couldn't let the army land on the island easily, otherwise Inamori really wanted to wave the military flag directly, command the army under his command to land on Butterfly Island, capture the "demon monk", and teach him a harsh lesson.

After ordering the burial of all these tragically dead soldiers, an orderly suddenly rushed towards Daomori on a fast horse.

"General!"

Before and after the fast horse arrived at Inamori, the orderly turned over and dismounted in smooth movements, then knelt down on one knee in front of Inamori and reported:

"Master Kamiyama of Wakayama Castle has sent news that the doctors sent by the shogunate to study 'ogre ghosts' will arrive tomorrow night!"

"Is it finally here?!" Inamori's eyes flashed with excitement.

The arrival of this good news slightly dilutes the haze that just emerged in Inamori's heart after witnessing the massacre of his subordinates.

For months, Inamori had been waiting.

Waiting for the shogunate to gather the best doctors in the world and send them here, let these doctors study how to kill those "ogres".

...

...

The next morning—

The second day Ogata and others landed on the island.

"Ayi! Ayi! Get up! Get up!"

Machi's voice came from next to his ear.

Open your eyes.

Ogata's beautiful face appeared in front of Ogata's eyes.

"Good morning~~ How did you sleep last night?"

"Good morning... I slept well last night..."

Ogata sat up slowly while rubbing his face.

Looking out of the cave entrance - the warm sunlight is penetrating into the cave along the cave entrance.

Even in the depths of the cave, Ogata could still feel the warmth brought by the warm sunshine.

Last night, nothing happened.

No one with malicious intentions found Ogata and Atachi, and the two were able to spend a very peaceful night.

"The rain has stopped..." Ogata muttered.

"Hurry up and pack your bags.

Get ready to go. "A Ding said.

"Yeah." Ogata echoed, while putting on the haori that was finished as a quilt and put it back on his body, "Let's go to the depths of the island today. Such a big island, maybe there are people living there." Here, I want to look for the residents of this island. By the way, I want to find a reliable source of water."

Neither of them had any luggage, so they were soon ready to go.

Ah-ding put her iron cannon back on her back and covered it with a sackcloth.

And Ogata also tied up the knives he brought from the three bandits yesterday, and carried them on his back.

After leaving the cave, finding the right direction, the two walked side by side.

...

...

"Speaking of which..." When the two of them were rushing on the road at a leisurely pace, Ogata suddenly asked A-Machi beside him, "I haven't even asked you yet, what happened to you, And he was caught here."

"Ah, this..."

After being silent for a while, A-Machi replied:

"Now that you and I are partners, let me tell you what the truth is."

"I landed on this island by order."

"Order?" Ogata asked suspiciously, "Is it the order given to you by the leader of your Shiranui?"

"That's right." A-Machi nodded, "Our ninjas in Shiranui are not only good at assassination, but also not weak at intelligence gathering."

"Our leader in Shiranui got the news: the shogunate drove the felons from all over the country to Butterfly Island in Kii, intending to destroy a monster called 'ogre'."

"Our leader is somewhat interested in the so-called 'cannibals'."

"So I was sent to find out what the 'ogre' was."

"As for how to get to Ji Yi, it's really too simple. Just commit some crimes and let the government arrest you."

"I randomly found a group of 'Yakuza' who usually do a lot of evil, killed them all, and then I was arrested by the government on purpose, and then I was sent here."

"Just to satisfy my curiosity, I let you come here to take risks..." Ogata frowned slightly, "That leader of yours doesn't seem to be a good bird..."

"No way..." A-Machi smiled bitterly, "Who told me I'm a ninja... No matter what the leader orders me to do, I have to do my best to do it... This is a ninja."

"It's okay. My luck is good. The mission is going smoothly so far."

"I just want to quickly get information related to the 'ogre ghost' that can be handed over to the leader, and then leave this ghostly place as soon as possible."

"Actually, at the end of the day..." Ogata muttered, "What the hell is an 'ogre'...? Is it a human? Or some kind of animal?"

"I don't know." A-cho echoed, "Although the guy named Inamori said that there are 'ogres' on this island, we haven't seen any kind of ghosts since we landed on the island." Creatures related to 'ghosts'. Could it be that 'ogre ghosts' are staying in the center of the island... Ah! Ayi! I saw the village!"

A-Machi suddenly let out a cry full of surprise, and then pointed forward.

"village?"

Ogata followed A-Machi's finger and looked forward.

However, he did not see any shadows that looked like buildings.

"Where is there a village?" Ogata asked doubtfully.

"It's just ahead. It's quite far away. Let's go over quickly and have a look! Talk to the residents of this island, maybe we can learn some information about the 'ogre'!"

After saying that, A-Machi spread his feet first and ran forward.
