Lan En followed his ronin across the wooden bridge and saw a ninja sitting slumped against the roots of a tree on the other side of the river.
He was wearing a short cloak that seemed to be woven from raptor feathers, and a weird Japanese mask on his face.
Wears strangely and is not equipped with armor.
When Lan En came to take a look, he could clearly feel that this man's breathing pattern showed traces of ninja training.
"Who are you?"
Lan En has only seen three ninjas, two old men, and wolves so far. He has never seen a guy dressed like this.
This man was seriously injured. Even with a specially trained physique, he probably wouldn't be able to last more than ten minutes.
"You are the foreign warrior"
While gasping and coughing up blood, he tried to raise his head and look at the person in front of him.
"I was ambushed in advance, hurry up and save Master Yuzi."
This man still cared about his master at the end of his life, but Lan En did not follow his urging. Set off quickly.
"As a ninja, you were ambushed in advance. You should know that this is abnormal, right? Who is arranging the security of Pingtian Village recently?"
Immediately distinguish between friend and foe, in Lan En's heart is the first priority.
A traitor can do more damage than an enemy.
The eyes of the ninja on the ground widened under the mask at first, and then calmed down.
Ninja is a profession that grows up in cruelty. This dying ninja quickly accepted the fact that he was betrayed.
"The only people who can arrange my course of action are Mr. Butterfly, and Mr. Xiao."
After saying these last few words, the ninja lowered his head to his belly , completely out of breath.
The corners of Lan En’s mouth twitched.
Okay, the traitor is one of the two old ninjas who seem to be difficult to deal with, or both of them
The situation is really bad enough.
Immediately, Lan En turned around and left without any delay, heading towards Pingtian Manor.
At least the target range has been narrowed down to two people. This is the gain.
"Pinggian Manor has not completely fallen. Later, with me as the vanguard, we will rush into the manor."
In fact, if Lan En encountered these mountains, If he were a thief-level thug, he could definitely kill him by himself.
But at first, he didn’t know what other methods the enemy had, so it would be safer to prepare manpower to respond. Secondly, having one more helper who dares to kill people will increase the killing efficiency.
"Everyone." Lan En's cat eyes swept across all the men in front of him, and his tone was calm and rational.
"We are all ronin who have been together in Ashina Kingdom, and have a good reputation. When the inner government comes, it will be paid. If you have illusions, it is better to commit suicide on the spot. If you want to last long, plan for now. The only way is to keep the Hirata clan"
Before a tough battle, you need to unify your thoughts, even if you only have a few subordinatesThe same goes for Ronin.
Lan En’s knowledge and memory told him that the less manpower there is, the more effort should be made on this point.
After rational analysis, both emotionally and rationally, the ronin must regard the task of maintaining the Hirata clan as protecting their own wealth and life.
After saying this, the Ronin's eyes no longer flickered, but became more determined and ruthless.
Most ronin are cruel. They will fight for anyone who doesn't want him to make money or live.
As for Kotaro and the ashigaru who were stuffed in by the Hirata clan, their will to fight is firm without encouragement.
They had to rely on the Hirata clan to survive in troubled times, and their children were all living in the castle town of Hirata Manor, so they were already impatient.
"Very good, let's go"
The men who had formed a battle formation nodded towards Lan En, took a deep breath in front of the closed manor door, and waited.
Lan En moved his ankles and knees a little, and rushed directly towards the wall next to the gate
The gate of Pingtianzhuang is a typical oriental portal, with a wide square above the main entrance. The eaves are covered.
The wall is much simpler, just a four-meter-high stone wall.
Although Lan En has not practiced the light body technique yet, he can do it through sprinting, borrowing force from the wall, and his super-standard arm strength.
With a clean turn, he easily crossed this wall that ordinary people need to build a ladder to get through.
As soon as he landed, he saw that there were still many people gathered in the castle town armed with various weapons or farm tools, fighting and dealing with the bandits.
The main force didn’t even clear the door and went straight to the inner house
With only a moment of thought, Lan En directly tore off the door next to it, which was as wide as an ordinary person’s waist. bolt.
Pull the wide and strong door open to both sides.
Outside the door, the ronin group who had been prepared for a long time could not help but start shouting and cheering as the gap gradually widened.
Then following Lan En’s instructions, they rushed in and started to strangle the scattered bandits
In Lan En’s eyes, these bandits have never been a problem except their quantity. .
They have no discipline. It is impossible for the property in Pingtian Village to be piled up. They will definitely not be able to accept the efficiency of robbery.
When the bandits who were scattered met the rogues who were dispatched in groups, the outcome was predictable.
With a "bang" sound, Lan En kicked out a samurai sword from the hand of a corpse at his feet.
He directly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and passed through the chest of a bandit who was pulling a lot of silk cloth. The guard on the handle of the knife caught his chest and nailed him to the chest. on the wall.
When the witcher walked over, in the small wooden house where the bandits had robbed the silk cloth, the bodies of a young peasant woman and an old couple were piled together. The blood is spreading outward.
These mountainsThieves not only come to steal things, they also come to kill.
The Ronin group formed by Lan En is simply invincible to the scattered enemies.
In a cold weapon battle, as long as the gap in combat effectiveness is not too big, forming a battle formation is better than being alone
The Ronin group can clear out the enemy very quickly. When Kotaro leads the people again After a round of killing, when he returned to Lan En, he still had a few thick chicken feathers on his head.
It seems that the live chickens raised in captivity have come out to join in the fun because they were frightened.
But it looked like they were all hacked to death by the battle formation.
Lan En looked at Kotaro's expression. His eyes were blood red, and blood, sweat, and snot were mixed together and flowing down.
"Have you found your mother?"
Lan En asked suddenly.
He still remembered that Kotaro said that his mother lived in the castle town.
But this little man with a wretched face just gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice.
"It's gone."
"Sir, where should we counterattack next?"
The mother is gone, and there are only four words in his mouth . Then turn back to the next step of action planning.
But Lan En could feel that he was not sad. On the contrary, when he was relaying his mother's teachings while drawing water from Longquan River, his proud expression could not be deceived.
When talking about the "Star Offering Ceremony" that his mother asked for for him, he couldn't pretend to feel cared about.
He is not good-looking, but his mother loves him.
However, people who survive in difficult environments always have a sense of realism.
Because they want to live, even if their closest loved ones die in front of them, they must continue to think about the daily necessities that are right in front of them, because life will not give them time to stop mourning.
If you don’t work for a while, you will have nothing to eat. If you don’t work for a day, you will have no food for a day.
This gives people the illusion that they are not sad.
And now, the firewood, rice, oil and salt in front of Kotaro are all the bandits.
Lan En looked down at his palms.
Just a few hours ago, his hands had squeezed open the Renqi ball made for him by a corpse here, and let the water from Longquanchuan sprinkle on his body to cure diseases and gain blessings.
"We fight back to the stronghold. There are still people there who we have not gone out to patrol. We are the group most likely to preserve combat effectiveness."
"Yes"
Lan En ordered, and Kotaro couldn't wait to do it, as if if he took a step slowly, he would be entangled in some annoying thoughts.
The young demon hunter pursed his lips and looked at the back of the short man.
He couldn't comfort Kotaro. All he could do was help Kotaro solve the daily necessities. That is to say
Kill the thief.
