I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The latest website: The shouting on the 1st floor can be heard clearly even if it is far away on the 3rd floor.

The villagers headed by Konnosuke huddled in every corner of the third floor, listening to the continuous sound coming from the first floor, with various expressions on their faces.

Someone showed fear.

Some people looked terrified.

Someone looked excited.

Some people look forward to it.

As for A-Machi——she was holding her wakizashi tightly, standing on the only staircase connecting the 3rd floor and the 2nd floor, looking solemnly towards the stairs.

"Miss Machi..."

At this moment, Konnosuke walked towards A-cho with a confused face, and asked A-cho.

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

"I really want to help." A-Ming put on a bitter smile on his face, "But I have helped everything I can at the moment..."

"After setting up the enemy's position together, I actually want to stay and follow them to stop the shogunate army."

"It's just that Ayi told me—"This corridor is too narrow, and it can barely accommodate me, Mamiya, and Mucun to fight. If you add one more person, there is not enough space. A-cho, go to the third floor Protect them and help them.'”

"Although he said it nicely, I understand it in my heart - the real reason is just because my sword skills are not good enough, and staying there may get in the way."

"Although I feel a little upset, I have to admit——Ayi is right."

A-Machi shrugged.

"My principle of doing things is to do what I can help, and never do what is beyond my ability."

"Since I can't help you on the first floor, then I will obediently follow Ayi's instructions and come to the third floor."

A-cho turned his head and smiled at Konnosuke.

"Although I can't face the elite of the shogunate army head-on,

But guarding you at the stairs on the third floor to protect you, I can barely do it. "

"...Thank you." Konnosuke with slightly red eyes said to A-Machi in a very solemn tone, "Thank you very much..."

"It's okay to thank you." A-Ming waved his hands freely, "Whether it's me or A-Yi and the others, they just want to save themselves."

"While saving myself, I'm just helping you guys."

...

The 150 soldiers of the shogunate army responsible for landing on the island have carried out two divisions since landing on the island.

1st Division - Leave 30 men to guard their ships.

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

After the two divisions, there were only 90 generals left to attack the wall.

The 30 soldiers who were in charge of guarding the gap are all now ready with their knives out of their sheaths.

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

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

There were a total of 90 companions rushing into the wall.

With such a number of people, it must be easy to wipe out the unarmed islanders inside the wall.

It doesn't matter if there are really lucky islanders who escaped here from the siege of their comrades-in-arms.

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

At that time, it will be enough to make up a few dollars for these islanders who are lucky enough to escape here.

In terms of the ease and safety of the task, it is second only to those comrades in charge of guarding the ship.

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

Just at this moment—a loud voice suddenly sounded from behind them:

"Isn't this a soldier of the shogunate? What are the soldiers of the shogunate doing here?"

The sudden loud voice startled all the 30 soldiers in charge of guarding the gap.

After turning their heads following the sound, they saw a huge and very strong man walking towards them slowly with a big naginata on his shoulders.

In addition to the strong man, there was also a young man of ordinary build who followed closely beside the strong man with a cautious look.

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

Looking at the strong man and the young man who suddenly appeared, the 30 soldiers stood up as if they were facing an enemy.

Without anyone's command, they consciously raised the long spears in their hands and set up the spear array.

The soldiers did not know who the two men were.

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

They only know: Their mission is to exterminate all living people on the island - including the prisoners.

Looking at the 30 soldiers who had already formed the spear formation, the strong man curled his lips, with a look of displeasure on his face.

"I hate you soldiers the most."

While talking, the strong man slowly put down the naginata that was on his shoulder.

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

...

...

Konnosuke's mansion, the corridor on the first floor——

"Hi, Mucun."

While wiping the few drops of blood that had just splashed on his face with the back of his hand, Ogata said suddenly to Mucun beside him.

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

"What plan?" Mucun asked Ogata without turning his head while avoiding the attack of a soldier in front of him.

"A plan related to our leaving the island, I just thought of it."

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

"It's just that if I want to implement my plan, I must first find a way to kill all the soldiers of the shogunate army who landed on the island."

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

"So, I plan to kill all the soldiers of the shogunate army here, leaving no one behind. To do this, Mucun, I need your help."

While saying this, another soldier rushed towards Ogata.

Ogata leaned his body to avoid the soldier's attack and stabbed his throat while turning his head to the side where Mucun was, and told Mucun what he asked Mucun to do.

After Ogata's voice fell, Mucun grinned:

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

After chopping down a soldier standing in front of him with a knife, Mucun casually threw away the knife in his hand, then turned around and left quickly, rushing towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

Mamiya looked at Mu Cun's leaving back with doubts on his face.

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

"It's nothing." Ogata said softly, "It's just a slight adjustment of the personnel deployment, so that Mucun can go to a place where he can better display his strength."

After finishing speaking, Ogata turned his gaze to the soldiers in front of him who were staring nervously at him and Gamiya.

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