【Progress 9/20】
Dojiche needs to kill more than twenty extraordinary beings to unlock 30% of his spiritual power. To further unlock more spiritual power, I am afraid there will be a need to "kill fifty people" or "kill a hundred people".
Chen Changan looked at the many corpses at his feet, sighed and said:
"Hey, you seven, bury their bodies alive."
"Yes, Master!"
The first task that the seven disciples who had just rebelled from the school accepted was to collect the corpses of their former brothers, which was quite ironic when you think about it.
Chen Changan was not very interested in these rebellious disciples. He just held the boy cutter in his hand and walked out of the daimyo mansion slowly.
The fire in the Oda Valley has basically been extinguished. Swordsmen and ordinary soldiers turned back one after another, but they saw a young and handsome strange man standing at the gate, leaning on the door and holding a sword!
The leading disciple was Oda Muro, the only senior swordsman in the Oda clan and Taro Oda’s most valued disciple. He noticed that there was a strong smell of blood in the mansion and frowned and asked:
"Who are you and why are you occupying the gate of Oda's mansion?"
Chen Changan held Tongziqie in his hand and smiled, "This is my territory. I just rested against the door for a while."
Oda Muro said angrily:
"Nonsense, this is the Oda Territory, how could it become your land..."
Chen Changan smiled and said nothing, but raised the bloody Tongziqie in his hand.
Oda Muro felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured into his heart, and he panicked and said:
"...Where is Master? What did you do to Master?"
Chen Changan looked natural and said with a smile: "Your master is tired, and a lifetime has passed without closing his eyes."
Oda Shi felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss. In grief and anger, he actually held a samurai sword and attacked Chen Changan like crazy!
When there were only a few meters away, Oda Muro suddenly jumped up and struck with a fierce jumping chop!
Slash with the wind!
Chen Changan had experienced this attack method at the hands of the robber warrior Yamamoto, so he had some understanding of this technique.
The Dongsang Plane is quite similar to the Japanese Ghost Kingdom on Earth. Most of the samurai they use are straight-edged swords, which are slightly curved than long swords. They are the most suitable weapons for chopping in the world.
Therefore, the favorite swordsmanship style of the swordsmen of the Dongsang Dynasty is the one-sword style. The most powerful and explosive move in the one-sword style is - slashing in the wind!
when!
The sound of weapons clashing sounded!
Chen Changan's power exploded, and Dojigiri injected a trace of fire spiritual power, directly cutting off the ordinary katana in Oda Muro's hand, and then kicked it away.
Oda Muro screamed and fell into the crowd, unconscious.
Many swordsmen and ordinary soldiers outside were shocked. Although they did not see Chen Changan kill Taro Oda, the battle in front of them was enough to shock everyone.
With a cold expression, Chen Changan held a boy cutter in his hand and activated Yanruo Equinox's ability, "Those who are willing to surrender, I will spare your life."
The seven lower-level swordsmen who surrendered early also shouted:
"Master's swordsmanship is the best in the world. If you surrender now, maybe I can teach you some of your moves!"
Under the dual influence of force and words, the vast majority of the soldiers and seventeen swordsmen agreed to surrender, but there were still nine swordsmen who stuck to their beliefs and would never recognize a second master. Most of them were intermediate swordsmen. Belonging to the upper class of the past, it is naturally difficult to have a heart of betrayal.
Chen Changan admired these people very much, so he took Tong Ziqi and chopped off their heads one after another.
During this period, several swordsmen were scared out of their wits and knelt down to surrender. However, Chen Changan showed no mercy and eliminated these swordsmen by their roots, increasing the progress of Tong Ziqie's twenty-man killing to [18/20].
After the die-hard swordsmen were eliminated, Chen Changan became the nominal leader of this group of soldiers and swordsmen.
But it can be seen with the naked eye that the loyalty of these people is probably appallingly low.
Fortunately, the poor bandits who set the fire and the ancestors of Yamamoto returned. Chen Changan appointed the poor bandits as officers and the ancestors of Yamamoto as the leaders of the swordsmen, and barely gained control of the army.
Sixty soldiers and twenty-five swordsmen.
Although the number of the army is small, there is still a population of about 10,000 in Zoda Valley Town. Chen Changan only needs to give enough remuneration to recruit more people to join the army.
Prices in the Dongsang plane are not high, and regular money can be enough to buy food for a family of three for half a year.
The normal monthly salary for soldiers is only three hundred coppers, plus half a stone of grain.
Unfortunately, Taro Oda was not good at territorial management and owed many foreign debts to merchants. Just to repay the interest every month cost him a thousand taels.
Therefore, these soldiers have not received wages for three months, and even their rations have been withheld by the swordsmen.
Chen Changan didn't believe that there was no silver hidden in Taro Oda's mansion, and said coldly:
"Yamamoto, you lead a group of people to search for the property in the daimyo's mansion."
"Yes, my lord."
Mr. Yamamoto was a little excited. During the day, he was still a robber who robbed homes and lived a precarious life. But at night, he became the swordsman leader of a famous palace. His rise in status and class made him suddenly become more loyal to Chen Changan. Promotion, he went on the mission of searching for property without hesitation.
It didn't take long for Yamamoto's ancestors to confiscate 300 taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silver, 20,000 taels of copper coins, 8,000 koku of grain, and 800 taels of volcanic rocks.
One stone of grain weighs about sixty kilograms. Chen Changan made a careful estimate and said loudly:
"Each soldier comes and gets one stone of food."
As soon as they heard about the food, the soldiers immediately felt no longer sleepy. Under the guidance of Yamamoto's ancestors, everyone received a bag of food.
Keeping soldiers well fed will give them the most basic sense of loyalty!
Chen Changan did not have many requirements for these soldiers. As long as they could stabilize the basic base of Zoda Valley Town, they would be considered qualified.
What really concerned him were the twenty-five extraordinary ones.
Except for the ancestors of Yamamoto, I am afraid that most swordsmen would stab Chen Changan in the back without hesitation on the battlefield.
If you want these people to be loyal to Him for the time being, I'm afraid you still have to use a carrot + stick trick.
Chen Changan looked at the volcanic rocks.
The swordsman's power originates from the sun. By breathing in and out during the day, he absorbs the essence of the sun, continuously strengthens his physical fitness, and retains part of the energy in the Dantian of his lower abdomen for use in explosions.
If the force of the explosion is strong enough, the legendary sword energy can even be unleashed!
Of course, in addition to the method of hard work, there is another good thing that can allow swordsmen to advance to a higher level in advance - that is volcanic rock!
There are many volcanoes and earthquakes in Dongsan Island. The most majestic volcano is named Mount Fuji. The volcanic lava produced therein, after special treatment, has an effect similar to the brilliance of the sun, which can accelerate spiritual practice.
