Naming a cow that can't eat radish "radish"... Sanako felt a little weird in her heart, but she didn't say anything more.
After all, it is completely Qingto's freedom to name his own mount. As an outsider, Sanako is not in a position to make irresponsible remarks.
Just before saying goodbye to the old farmer, Qingdeng casually asked about Carrot's age. According to what the old farmer said, Carrot is a bull that is just over 3 years old.
Even a person like Qingdeng, who knows nothing about raising cattle, can tell from the size of the carrot how well this big black cow has been fed and cared for during its short three-year life.
The body is strong and strong, with clear muscle lines faintly visible on the four hooves. It is very strong. Even if it is carrying two adults, Qingto and Sanako, it can still run very fast, and its speed is not much slower than an ordinary pack horse.
Moreover, he has a very docile temperament. Qingdeng only needs to gently tug on the reins in his hands, and Carrot will turn around obediently, never disobeying Qingdeng's orders. The running was also very smooth. Even without saddles or stirrups, Qingdeng and the others still sat quite comfortably.
"Go along this street to the end, then turn right, and you will see a very hidden path. After entering that path and walking all the way to the end, you will be able to enter the shortcut to the residence that I mentioned."
Sanako, who was sitting sideways behind Qingteng in a very elegant and ladylike posture, kept giving clear instructions to guide Qingteng.
"Can Carrot enter the path you just mentioned?" Qingden lowered his head and glanced at the width of Carrot's shoulders.
The towns of Edo are dotted with a large number of alleys that are too narrow to walk around.
"You can get in." Sanako said with determination. "Although the trail is not particularly wide, it is more than enough to accommodate the cow... and the radish."
"That's good."
After pointing out the distance before entering the shortcut for Qingto, Sanako closed his mouth and became quiet.
Because of Sanako's silence, the silence immediately surrounded a man and a woman who were riding on the back of an ox. The only sounds that reached their ears were the sound of radish running, breathing, and the whistling sound coming from beside them. The passing wind.
However, this is strange.
It was obvious that both of them were silent now and no one was speaking, but there was no awkwardness in the atmosphere between them.
There was only a strange sense of stability that dominated the atmosphere between the two.
Until Luobo carried the two of them across the spacious street under its hooves, Qingto followed Sanako's instructions and pulled the reins to the right. After Luobo followed Qingteng's lead and made a right turn, Sanako's movements Only then did the sweet sound like silver bells control Qingdeng's ears again.
"...Tachibana-kun, tonight...thank you very much..."
Without any explanation or explanation, Qingden also knew what Sanako was thanking him for when he said "Thank you".
While Carrot was running forward smoothly, Qingden turned his head and looked back.
Sanako, who was sitting sideways behind him, maintained a fist-width distance from him, with two slender legs close together and a straight waist. His left hand rested quietly on his legs, and his right hand held the cow's back, even if Even the rich darkness of night could not cover up the alluring white jade luster emanating from her pretty face like gelatin. Her slender ponytail hanging down to her waist was fluttering in the wind, so beautiful.
Sanako had been staring at the street scene on the left that was rapidly retreating with eyes that seemed to be looking into the distance.
Probably feeling Qingteng's gaze, Sanako turned her beautiful eyes and met Qingteng's eyes... Then in the next moment, Sanako quickly retracted her sight and actively quit looking at Qingteng.
"...You're welcome." Qingden smiled lightly, "I hope Miss Sanako is safe and sound."
Qingden turned his gaze back to himself.
"Although I'm asking now, it seems a bit late...Miss Sanako, why did you suddenly come to assist me and help me point out the shortcut to the residence?"
Sanako seemed to have expected Qingdeng to ask this question and had prepared an answer in advance. As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, she replied in a calm tone without thinking:
"I'm not the kind of good guy who doesn't fight back when someone bullies him."
"I have received so much 'care' from the anti-barbarian group. If I don't find a way to repay them, I really can't swallow this breath."
"Even if it's just a little bit, I want to give the anti-barbarian group some counterattacks as much as possible and cause some trouble for the anti-barbarian group."
"Besides... I really can't sit idly by and ignore the anti-barbarian group's plan to burn down the settlement."
Sanako's left hand, which had been resting quietly on her legs, slowly tightened.
"They are indeed a bunch of unreasonable lunatics...Have they never thought about the consequences if the fire gets out of control..."
"Although I can't even walk well now, so I probably can't be of much help, but I still want to do my best to stop the atrocities of the anti-barbarian group."
It’s early summer now, which is one of the times of the year when fires occur most frequently and are most likely to get out of control.
The area of the settlement is not small. If such a large block is burned and the fire unfortunately gets out of control... it is not impossible for the entire Edo to be burned down.
This is not an alarmist statement. The "Meiretsu Fire" that burned more than 80% of Edo to ashes more than a hundred years ago was caused by a woman's kimono sleeve that was on fire.
Even a woman's kimono sleeve that was on fire could burn down more than 80% of the buildings in Edo... let alone an entire neighborhood on fire.
As soon as Sanako finished speaking, Qingto, who had just returned his gaze to the front, turned his head back behind him and looked at Sanako with a charming look.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like this?" Sanazi asked Qingden who suddenly looked at her with such a strange look.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly discovered...Although Miss Sanako and I have known each other for a long time, I have never known Miss Sanako very well."
"Just now, I had a new understanding of you, Miss Sanako."
Having said this, Qingdeng changed into a tone filled with emotion and admiration.
"I feel more and more that your Qianye family's tutor is really amazing."
Sanako, who understood the implication of Qingden's words, raised her delicate hand to hold down the right temple hair that was blown by the wind and slapped her pretty face.
"I am also a daughter of the martial arts family." Sanako said calmly, "If I don't even have the courage to fight against evil, then I'd better give up martial arts as soon as possible."
"The tutors of the Chiba family are really amazing..."
Perhaps it was because the current atmosphere for speaking was just right. Sanako, who was affected by this atmosphere, hesitated for a while, then opened his red lips again:
"... Mr. Ju, if you arrive at the settlement later and find that the government team has not arrived yet, but the people from the anti-barbarian group have already started to attack... what are you going to do?"
"At that time, please help me take care of the carrots."
Qingdeng's reply... there was no hesitation or hesitation at all.
Qingto's answer was too fast and he spoke it completely without thinking. Sanako couldn't help but look surprised because he was not expecting it.
Qingden's answer was brief...but informative and clear.
"Do you want to fight against the entire anti-barbarian team that attacked the settlement alone?" Sanako couldn't help but ask a quick rhetorical question in a slightly out-of-control, high-pitched tone.
"You can't just hide away and do nothing, right?"
Qingden choked Sanako back with just one sentence.
"As you said just now, Miss Sanako, if the anti-barbarian group is allowed to act so recklessly, I'm afraid the entire Edo will be destroyed by them."
"The Trial Guard Hall is my only place to live now."
"If the fire gets out of control due to the indiscriminate arson of the barbarian group and the test hall is also burned down, I cannot accept such a result."
"not to mention……"
Qingdeng's words suddenly stopped.
After murmuring "What's more," a trace of memory appeared on his cheeks.
A petite figure with beautiful long pale golden hair flashed through Qingden's mind.
"...I also promised a child living in the residence that I would come back to play with her when I have time."
Qingden's cheeks and corners of his mouth relaxed...the relaxed facial lines turned into a soft smile.
"I don't want to break my promise."
Surprise and shock...and the emotion of hearing some terrible news appeared on his expression. Sanako's face was covered with a complicated expression composed of various emotions.
Her eyes, which were originally quite mature and calm, now became as bright as if she couldn't focus.
She looked at the tall back of Qing Deng who was very close to her with eyes that seemed to be looking into the distance, her red lips twitching slightly.
She seemed to want to comment on Qingdeng's remarks just now.
It wasn't until a long time passed that I finally heard a murmur full of various emotions, floating from between Sanako's seductive red lips and white teeth.
"...Tachibana-kun, you...are so brave."
After much thought, Sanako finally only thought of the adjective "brave".
Apart from "brave", she really couldn't think of any other more appropriate adjective that could be used to properly evaluate Qingdeng's current words and deeds.
"Brave..." Qingdeng softly repeated the adjective Zuo Nazi had just given him, and he couldn't help but smile. With a smile on his lips, he turned to look at the beauty behind him again, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Miss Sanako, you are also very brave."
"Even though I was injured, you still dared to come to my aid and help me get to my residence."
"Regardless of men and women, most people probably don't have the courage like you."
Regardless of gender... Hearing Qingden's unintentional compliment, Sanako's fingers that were holding her right temple suddenly loosened slightly uncontrollably, and her hair flew up, slightly covering Sanako's hair. The delicate face is showing a very charming expression.
It's a pity that Qingden didn't have the opportunity to appreciate Sanako's novel expression.
At this time, Radish finally arrived at the trail that Sanako had just mentioned, "As long as you walk all the way to the end, you can reach the shortcut to the residence."
Qingdeng looked back to the front, pulled the reins in his hand with moderate force, and led Carrot into the trail.
"Come on! Carrot!"
"Moo~~"
Luobo seemed to have completely accepted the name "Luobo". After Qingdeng's powerful shouts ended, Luobo raised his head to the sky and let out a "moo" in response to Qingdeng's shouts.
At this moment, the man of a nearby house happened to be awakened by the sudden sound of running hooves and the braying of cows.
"Why are there cows braying..." The male host rubbed his sleepy eyes vigorously and opened the window with confusion on his face.
Then he saw a samurai and a very beautiful woman riding a big black bull galloping through the streets of Edo.
"What the hell?!"
The scene was so grotesque that the man screamed in surprise as if reflexively.
…
…
Edo, settlement, Bright's mansion——
The beautiful music of the piano kept coming from a corner of the hall.
The string band composed of more than ten musicians played dance music with lingering sounds.
In the center of the hall, pairs of men and women laughed and danced to this beautiful dance music.
Bright is one of the first foreign businessmen to come to Japan to do business. Although his financial resources are not the strongest among all foreign businessmen in Japan, his background is not bad.
In order to celebrate his 60th birthday, this dance invited most of the residents of the Edo Residence, and Bright would not be stingy with his pomp and circumstance.
To describe Brett's dance party in a simple and direct sentence...that is, even the inconspicuous details were full of luxury.
Three chandeliers hung low above the hall where the ball was held. Delicate green ferns hang from the chandelier, and they hang down naturally, adding a touch of warm color to the hall.
On both sides of the hall, there were long tables. The light from the chandelier reflected on each crystal cup on the long table, shining brightly.
All the tableware on the long table is made of silver, including bottles containing condiments and boxes for knives and forks.
The white tablecloths laid on each long table are so dazzlingly white that they are dotted with red roses, which are very difficult to get in Japan today.
Not to mention the catering, even the current shogun: Tokugawa Iemo is here. Facing this dazzling menu list and seeing what the banquets at this ball are eating, they may feel dumbfounded. .
Toasted white bread, smoked fish, crackers, lamb from Wales, caviar from Tsarist Russia, foie gras parfait and foie gras steak from France...
There are also fruits such as purple grapes, apples, and watermelons that are in season in Japan on the table.
These delicacies were served to the banquets with wines such as dry red from Lafite, sherry from Andalusia, and champagne from France.
The wine is mellow and delicious, and eating food with these drinks is like swallowing gold.
Of course, Brett's favorite Japanese sake will not be missing from the dinner table at this dance.
The expensive sake he ordered from his old friend at the mall: Natsume Sohachiro was delivered on time today.
However, among all the attendees at the banquet, only Bright liked Japanese sake, so basically only Bright drank the sake he ordered.
There was no need to worry about whether Brett could drink so much wine.
The old man's stomach was like a bottomless pit, and he could easily drink no matter how much sake he drank.
Brett, who drank bottle after bottle of his favorite sake, had already finished the nine bottles in a pack. Even after drinking so much, he was still in good spirits, with only a slight blush on his cheeks. (1 in 1 = 180 ml)
"Oh, these grapes are so sweet." Anthony's eyes lit up as he chewed the grapes he had just put into his mouth. "Elodie, do you want to try these grapes?"
"Huh~~"
As soon as Anthony turned his head to look at Elodie beside him, he saw Elodie yawning widely.
At the moment when her mouth opened wide due to yawning, Elodie raised the back of her white right hand to cover her mouth in time to prevent herself from showing too indecent posture.
Yawning in public is a very ungraceful thing. For Elodie, who has received a strict education since childhood, she would not be able to do such a thing if she were not extremely sleepy. action.
"Elodie, are you tired?"
There was a hint of hesitation in Elodie's brow.
Probably knowing that it would be difficult to lie in this state, Elodie hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and smiled helplessly at her grandfather.
"Well... I'm a little sleepy..."
After saying that, Elodie blinked hard in her eyes, which were already filled with sleepiness.
Anthony took out his pocket watch and opened it to see - it was just after 11:30.
At this time, it was long past Elodie's usual bedtime, so it was normal for Elodie to feel sleepy.
"Elodie, why don't we go home now?"
For the sake of Elodie's health, Anthony suggested this.
After all, Elodie is only a 12-year-old child, and staying up late is not good for the development of a child like her.
This suggestion of "go home" was made out of concern for Elodie's health.
But Elodie didn't seem to appreciate it very much.
As soon as Anthony finished speaking, hesitation appeared in Elodie's pupils and pulled repeatedly.
"Grandpa, I...I want to play for a while longer..."
After whispering her request, Elodie stretched out her little hand, picked a grape that Anthony had just recommended to her on the table in front, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Anthony was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief as he quickly figured out the reason.
Tonight... to be precise, after the dance started, Anthony saw Elodie so excited and excited for the first time in a long time.
The rare lively activities, the chatter and laughter of people around her... these all made Elodie, who usually had to stay alone at home due to lack of playmates, feel particularly fresh and happy.
From time to time, people who are familiar with Anthony will come to ask her, a little lady, to dance politely. Although she is not good at dancing, people who come to see her, a little girl, will rarely dance too seriously. But Elodie still felt quite happy.
Recalling the smile that Elodie had shown since the beginning of the dance, Anthony smiled softly at Elodie.
"Okay, let's wait a little later, but don't eat more of those desserts."
The first half of Anthony's words made Elodie smile, and the second half made Elodie's entire little face collapse instantly.
"I want to eat another piece of that little cake..."
Elodie pursed her lips and looked at the small cream cakes placed on a dinner plate not far away.
"No. That kind of food is unhealthy. Just eat it occasionally. You can't eat too much."
When it comes to desserts, Anthony is very determined and will not give in.
After sternly forbidding Elodie to eat any more desserts, Anthony lowered his gaze again and looked at his little granddaughter, who he regarded as the apple of his eye.
Tonight, Elodie was wearing a white dress that Anthony had recently bought for her.
The delicate white skirt matches the child's sky-blue eyes and long, tangled pale golden hair.
Elodie had now gotten over her frustration at being forbidden dessert by her grandfather.
She also seemed to like the grapes that Anthony had just recommended to her, and she happily put the grapes into her mouth one after another.
Looking at Elodie's happy look... Anthony's eyes seemed to be looking at some distant scenery, and he became trance-like.
Strictly speaking... Anthony is indeed looking at a very distant scenery now.
He was staring at the scenes of memories that had been buried deep in his mind since he brought Elodie to Japan.
"Huh? Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly in a daze?"
Elodie noticed something strange about Anthony and stopped stuffing grapes into her mouth.
"nothing……"
Anthony raised the thumb and index finger of his right hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"I just suddenly felt very emotional... It's so great to have rescued you from that man's hands and brought you to this distant country."
"Although this country is still full of crises... the lives of our grandfather and grandson will definitely get better and better."
Elodie lowered her eyebrows in surprise for a moment, and then she smiled softly, showing a mature smile that didn't match her young and petite body.
"Grandpa, don't cry here."
Elodie raised her hand and gently stroked Anthony's back.
Inexplicably being comforted by his granddaughter, Anthony's expression became angry and funny.
…
…
At this moment——
Outside Bright Mansion, somewhere——
"Is everyone here? Are everyone ready?"
"Are you all ready?"
"Okay, let's go!"
…
To some people, tonight is truly a blessing from heaven... The dark night with almost no moonlight is equivalent to a natural "protective color".
Under the cover of darkness, dozens of black figures approached Bright's mansion from all directions, holding large wooden boxes.
After arriving at an inconspicuous corner, they used the tools prepared early in the morning to pry open the wooden box.
If Mr. Bright were present, he would definitely feel familiar after seeing this wooden box and the contents inside it - the bottles and cans in the box are exactly the sake he ordered from Natsume Sohachiro. .
Clinking clang... These dozens of black shadows took out the sake from the box one by one, making a crisp sound of porcelain clinking against each other.
"Move quickly and throw them all out!"
Following this order, the bottles of sake that the shadows took out from the box were thrown forcefully towards the Bright Mansion next to them.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
The unpleasant smell instantly filled the surrounding space.
The contents of these "sake" bottles are not sake at all, but pungent kerosene!
"ignition!"
A cold cry without sorrow or joy, like a sentence announcing guilt and punishment.
Hufufu...!
The sound of burning flames...
Waves of heat and fire surge high!
…
…
"Um?"
Elodie twitched her little nose hard.
"Grandpa, do you smell anything strange?"
"Strange smell?" Anthony glanced at Elodie beside him doubtfully, sniffed slightly, and then his face changed slightly.
He also smelled a strange smell...
This strange smell spread quickly, and after a while, more and more people in the ballroom stopped what they were doing and looked puzzled because they smelled this strange smell.
The smell is getting stronger... Some people with a strong sense of smell have already smelled the smell of something burning.
Immediately afterwards, following the strange smell, strange sounds came into the dance hall.
Crack, whir... Even though the sound was very subtle, most people could clearly hear the sound of the flames burning...
A bad guess suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.
What a coincidence - at this moment, a maid rushed into the ballroom and shouted, quickly confirming everyone's terrifying guess:
"It's not good! It's not good! It's on fire! It's on fire! (English)"
Although many of the attendees at tonight's dance are from non-English-speaking countries, they can still understand some simple English words, such as "fire".
There was a tense atmosphere in the ballroom instantly.
Then in the next moment, this tense atmosphere exploded——
"Elodie!"
Anthony shouted the name of Elodie, who was still recovering from the shock. He opened his fat hands, hugged Elodie and rushed out of the mansion.
Screams, running sounds...the hall no longer has the elegant atmosphere it had before.
These banquet guests, who until just now were still well-dressed, now fled towards the gate of the mansion and outside the mansion in a hurry, regardless of their appearance.
The fastest runner was a handsome Englishman wearing a black tuxedo.
He pushed open the door of the mansion forcefully, and then——
laugh! laugh! laugh!
Arrows whizzed past him.
Dozens of warriors blocked the door of the mansion with a fierce and murderous attitude. Ten of them were holding broad Japanese bows. When they saw someone coming out of the mansion, they immediately raised their bows and shot without thinking.
Although the arrow did not hit the Englishman, it frightened him badly.
"Don't go out! There are many killers out there! (English)"
The man was so frightened that his back was covered in cold sweat, and he retreated into the house in panic.
Anthony, who held Elodie in his arms, was at the forefront of the escape team, so he also saw the group of warriors blocking the door of the house, and a new layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
The door couldn't be opened... Everyone could only panic and look for other escape routes.
However... no matter it was the side door or the window, all the places where he could go out were blocked by murderous warriors.
Where there are no warriors, there is fire.
Because a large amount of kerosene had been thrown in advance, the flames spread extremely quickly.
The flames spread rapidly along the pillars and walls. In just a moment, half of the mansion was engulfed in flames.
Thick, stinky smoke began to flow toward everyone.
Sparks flew and exploded in the ears, and the wooden frame on fire above collapsed, passing by Elodie and Anthony. Elodie was so frightened that she screamed.
"It's okay, it's okay." Anthony quickly stroked Elodie's back to comfort Elodie.
Anthony's voice was shaking uncontrollably... He was also very scared now, but in order not to aggravate Elodie's panic, he could only hold back his inner uneasiness and fear.
The fire was already coming... We couldn't stay here for long, so everyone quickly fled to places that had not been affected by the flames.
Bright's mansion wasn't that big to begin with, but those black shadows just set fire to it from both directions, so the flames spread at a jaw-dropping speed.
In the end - because they could not find a way to escape, everyone could only return to a spacious corridor closer to the door, and they were running around in panic in this corridor.
"Are those people outside 'anti-barbarian' thugs? (Russian)"
"Mr. Bright! Do you have a secret escape here? (English)"
"Ahem! Ahem! Don't stay here! The smoke is coming! (French)"
…
Men were roaring, women were screaming...a variety of languages mixed with heat and smoke.
The sudden change made everyone's faces pale and full of fear.
As of five minutes ago, these people were chatting in a polite manner and dancing with graceful movements. Now they are screaming and roaring in terror... The scene is so full of contrasts that it feels strange. A sense of humor...
…
…
Elodie and Anthony were all trapped in Bright's mansion, so they didn't notice that not only Bright's mansion, but also several other places in the residence were set on fire at almost the same time.
It was like a slow-playing movie suddenly had its accelerator button pressed, and the original tranquility of the residence was completely shattered.
The sound of burning flames, the sound of wind whipped up by fire waves, screams, and the sound of footsteps running away in terror...
The sound wave composed of these sounds should be harsh and unpleasant to the point of making people feel uncomfortable.
But to Kamino, these sounds are simply the most beautiful music in the world.
——Finally, we can destroy this hateful neighborhood...
Kamino sighed silently, and then slowly raised his head and gaze with mixed emotions, looking ahead at the front door of the Bright Mansion, which was being blocked by a large group of people led by himself.
There was a complacent look on his face as his ambition had been realized.
Destroy the settlement in Edo and kill all the foreigners in the settlement - this is Kamino's long-cherished wish before establishing the anti-barbarian group, and it is also his grand plan to "get rid of all barbarians in the country" The first small goal.
In order to realize this long-cherished wish, Kamino made the most thorough plan a long time ago and launched the greatest mobilization.
After the losses of several previous large-scale operations, coupled with Kamino's own "Elite Soldiers Plan" to eliminate the bad and preserve the good, the current number of members of the anti-barbarian group is no longer what it used to be.
With the current number of people in the anti-barbarian group, it would be difficult to kill all the foreigners in the settlement.
After all, these barbarians also have legs and can escape. It is really inefficient to send people all over the block to catch and kill people randomly.
Regarding how to efficiently kill the Yi Di in the settlement - this problem has been bothering Kamino for a long time.
Until not long ago, he learned a piece of news that made his mind suddenly lively: a certain guy named Bright in the settlement would hold a grand dance on the night of his 60th birthday. All residents of the residence will come to participate.
The barbarians in the settlement actually gathered together... This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight off the barbarians!
So, after much consideration, Kamino decided to time his long-prepared plan to "destroy the settlement" on Bright's 60th birthday...that is, on the night of this day!
The "killing goal" he has set tonight is very clear - to concentrate all his combat power and kill everyone attending the Bright Ball tonight!
Since most of the residents of the residence were in Bright's mansion tonight, if they could kill all the attendees, the harvest would be enough to satisfy Kamino.
As for how to kill the attendees of Bright's Ball... Kamino's plan was not cruel and vicious.
Set fire to Bright's mansion, and then lead people to block the door and other places of the mansion to prevent anyone in the mansion from coming out. The people in the house would either be burned alive by the fire, or they would rush out of the house and be killed by them. Hacked to death, shot to death - the above is the entire plan drawn up by Kamino.
From the point of view of "guaranteed to kill everyone in the house", this plan is undoubtedly the safest and safest.
Shenye learned the lessons from the last attack on Fanshu Tiaosuo.
Simply sending people into the mansion to arrest and kill them would be too slow and could easily slip through the net.
In contrast, setting fire to the house directly, and then concentrating manpower to block the few entrances and exits such as the door, would force the people in the house to choose between "being burned to death" and "running out of the house and being hacked to death." With the choice, the efficiency will be higher, and it will be less easy to miss or accidentally kill.
Snap, snap, snap, snap...
At this time, Kamino heard two sets of footsteps approaching them from the west.
They are two settlement guards holding minie rifles.
When the two guards arrived and saw the large group of people gathered outside the Bright Mansion, they were immediately frightened and took a breath.
Without the need for Kamino to personally give orders, a rather sturdy samurai immediately led several people, drew his sword, and killed the two guards who suddenly appeared.
These two guards were very brave. Even though the enemy in front of them was dozens of times their own, they still bravely raised their guns and prepared to fight back.
However...the cruel gap in combat power cannot be filled by mental power alone.
These guards can maintain the peace and order in the residence, but they are really powerless to fight against the terrorists of the anti-barbarian group.
Although the guns they used were the most advanced rifles nowadays: Minie rifles, these two guns were really useless against such a large number of enemies.
boom! boom!
The two guards opened fire one after another, but all the bullets were empty...
Taking advantage of the opportunity when their ammunition was empty, the strong man who had just led several warriors to kill the two guards suddenly led a swarm towards them.
Although the guards turned their guns around in time and used them as clubs, they were eventually hacked to death because they were outnumbered.
Kamino, who quietly watched the whole process of the two guards from their appearance to their execution, sneered "ha", turned his attention back to the Bright Mansion in front, and then said with a comfortable He said secretly in his heart:
——These Yi Di must be wondering now why there are almost no guards coming to rescue them.
——I don’t know what their reaction will be if they learn that most of the guards here have been killed by us.
In order to reduce obstacles as much as possible and reduce subsequent casualties, Kamino personally led people to sneak attack the residence of the residence guards before burning the residence.
The sneak attack was quite successful.
The number of guards at the residence was originally small. Due to the unexpected sneak attack on Kamino and others, those who stayed in the residence were basically wiped out, while Kamino and others suffered almost no casualties.
In a word - the security system in the settlement is now basically paralyzed.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the street corner next to him.
However, what appeared this time was no longer the remaining guards of the residence, but the subordinates sent by Kamino to set fire to other places in the residence.
"Mr. Kamino, we have successfully lit the house on the east side!"
"Yeah." Kamino nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
If you want to destroy this hateful "Yidi settlement"... you can't just kill people.
Those Western-style buildings that are an eyesore cannot be left behind either!
Therefore, in addition to "killing all the attendees of Bright's Ball", Kamino and the others also set a goal tonight: to completely burn this hateful neighborhood to ashes!
In order to maximize the use of the kerosene he had urgently purchased from Rakshasa, Kamino had studied in detail how to set a fire with his colleagues who had some knowledge of architecture.
After research - they only need to set fire to 5 houses in the east, south and west directions, which is enough to plunge the entire settlement into a sea of flames!
After subtracting the kerosene needed to kill the attendees of Bright's Ball...the remaining kerosene was enough to complete this "fire mission"!
The subordinates sent by Kamino to set fires have now returned one after another, and their "fire missions" have been completed quite successfully.
At the moment, the firelight pouring out from all parts of the residence illuminates the entire residence as bright as day.
In order to ensure that tonight's operation of "destroying the settlement" can be completed successfully with the greatest results, after removing necessary personnel such as "guarding Sanako and Natsume Yue", Kamino will bring all the companions he can bring tonight—— A total of 66 people were brought to the residence.
At this moment, with the return of the "arson team", the 67 thugs from the anti-insurgency group headed by Kamino have now gathered outside Bright's mansion.
They all looked at the Bright Mansion which was gradually being swallowed up by the fire with excited, excited and emotional expressions.
Some people are gearing up, hoping that some Yi Di will rush out of the mansion because they can't stand the heat of the fire, so that they can also experience the pleasure of killing Yi Di with their own hands.
Some people half-closed their eyes, looking like they were enjoying themselves, listening to the screams and wails that kept coming from the mansion.
Some people, headed by Kamino, looked at the Red Lotus Hell in front of them with smiles on their faces, as if they were "happy in the spring breeze".
The firelight hit them, drawing long ghostly shadows on the ground behind them.
The laughter of these people; these shadows exuding a cold aura; coupled with the sound of burning fire and the screams of people that now dominate the entire settlement...
This scene is like a hundred ghosts walking at night.
…
…
The fire in the mansion gradually became stronger.
The sound of wood splitting kept coming from all over the mansion, and more and more ceilings and walls collapsed and fell, causing a large number of sparks to fly into the dark night.
"It is also waiting to die here! Let's rush out together! (French)" Someone suddenly shouted.
"Didn't you see the samurai blocked outside the house? If you rush out like this, it is also dead! (French)"
"What do you say what should we do? Just wait for the fire to burn, and burn us to death and smoke to death?"
…
People who hold different ideas are arguing ... This space that is already very noisy has become more noisy, and at the same time, it also adds a bit of despair to the atmosphere around.
The fire burned again.
There was a scorching smell of wood around, the wind called by the flames rolled, and the mansion was sent to the burning squeak, and a large number of flying Mars fell on Elotti's face.
Mars stabs the skin ... The thick smoke stimulates the eyes and nose ... The throat is painful as if it is burned by the flame. Every time it is spit, the bitter taste will be uncomfortable in the mouth, which makes Elotti's uncomfortable cough, and it is difficult to cough and it is difficult Take care of your own image, and you are about to vomit until you cough.
"Elotti! Elotti!" Anthony, who was so anxious, stretched out his hand and wiped the sweat beads on Elotti's forehead.
"I ... I'm fine ..." Elott took a deep breath, then raised his head, and gave Anthony a smile that tried to make Anthony's heart.
Listening to the weak voice of Elotti, watching Elotti's smile now on him ... A strong sad Anthony hurriedly raised his head in his heart, trying to find a place where there was any safety.
However, ... in such a mansion that has been surrounded by the sea of fire, there is no security to be safe ...
Although Anthony reluctantly controlled ... the emotions were still in the embankment, and the anxiety and fear that picked up a touch of anxiety emerged from their cheeks.
Still Elotti, who was still hugged by Anthony, looked at her grandpa quietly.
"grandfather……"
She stretched out her small hand and gently stroked Anthony's wrinkled face.
She wants to say some comfort to Grandpa who is very disturbed and scared now.
But after a whisper "Grandpa", I couldn't say anything ...
She is now ... I am also very scared ...
Hands, feet, lips, sounds ... the whole body is constantly trembling.
So scared...so scared...
The fear of the whole body was trembling, and suddenly evoked the memories of the past.
On the fine snowy night a few months ago, she was like this, fearing that her whole body was shaking, fear of pain and death.
However, in the snowy night a few months ago, the man was there.
That ... the man who saved them ...
Well ... the man who raised the fear in her heart with the sword ...
The tall back of this man emerged in front of Elotto's eyes.
"Mr. Orange ..."
Why can't I say ... Elotti, who was biting his lower lip, murmured the man's name subconsciously.
…
…
"It should be almost almost." Shenye murmured.
Without a moment, the mansion in front of me is about to be eroded by the fiery tongue, no more than half an inch of safety.
At that time, the people who do not want to be burned and smoked by fire and smoke in the house will only rush out of the mansion and rush into the arms of Shen Ye outside the mansion outside the mansion.
Knowing that the Yidi in the house are almost finished, the smile on the face of Kamino and others is more comfortable and confessively.
The air is full of proud and happy atmosphere.
At this time, no one noticed -the sky above their heads changed quickly.
The thick cloud layer that was blocked by the sky and the earth was suddenly broken, and under the traction of the wind, it drifted around.
The scattered clouds ... make the sky look like a crack.
The Moonlight of Dao Dao and white white from these "cracks of the sky" was diarrhea, twisted into a bouquet of light, and the heaven and earth were niced.
Then--
"Moo~~"
A loud bull screaming rang from the back of Shenye.
…
…
When there was a short distance from the residence place, Blue Deng and Sanazi saw a touch of orange flames from a distance.
The expressions of the two became particularly dignified under the illumination of these fire.
After entering the residence place under the carrots, Qing Deng saw the raging fire waves around the residence, and the residents who fled towards the residence of Zhengcang.
The worst situation appeared ... the discussion group has launched an attack on the residence place, but the government's large troops have not yet arrived.
The official difference now arrives in the residence ... Only Qingsen is the only one.
Without anyone's lead, Qing Deng silently drove the place where the radish screamed the most.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Blatt's mansion from a distance, and saw that he was gathered outside the mansion of Brutt, and was ready to catch the crickets.
That mansion ... it should be the residence of Blatt ...
Elotti ... Is it in that mansion now ...
Just looking at the situation of Shenye and others surrounding the Blatter mansion, Qing Deng had guessed what the lunatic wanted to do.
What to do now -this idea pops up from Qingdeng's mind.
However, as soon as this idea came up, it automatically dissipated.
"What to do?" ... Do you still need to think about this question?
For a moment, Qing Deng was decided.
Click!
Qing Deng staged his left hand and held the ghost and god in the left waist. The thumb was raised, holding the knife of the ghost and god, and pulled the sheath mouth.
The sharp blade of the sheath emits a long stingy ... as if in response to the chief and determination of its owner!
Although he has made psychological preparations in advance from the words of Qingdeng in advance ... After seeing the actions of Qing Deng's one -handed sheath, Sanazi couldn't help opening her eyes.
Is he ... really serious?
Driven by this shocking mood, Sanako couldn't help but said anxiously:
"Orange, you ..."
"Miss Sanako!"
Qing Deng opened the first step, interrupted Zana's words.
The swordsman turned his head, looking at the beauty behind him, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and a bland smile.
"Radish is temporarily asked you to take care of it!"
After that, Qing Deng threw the reins in his hand to Sana, and then jumped down from the back of the cow, and at the moment of landing on both feet, lowered the center of gravity of the body. In front, rush straight towards those 66 violence!
…
…
"what happened?"
Shenye shouted his head just now, and then he appeared in his eyes and cheeks.
On the dark street behind, a lonely figure rushed towards them.
After a long distance of running, the shadow rose through the potential energy of running, and he scratched a towering parabolic line in the air, flying a jump to cut off one of his stood under the outermost part of the crowd!
"who?!"
"Hey! There are enemies here!"
"who is it?"
…
Suddenly the unknown samurai who appeared suddenly made the members of the group retreat subconsciously and opened the distance with the person.
At this moment, there was just a leaked moonlight, which shot behind this person and outlined his figure, but because the light was too dazzling this month, it made the person's face in the relatively dark darkness, and it was difficult to see his face.
Then, in the next moment, an incredible scene happened.
Shenye's expression suddenly changed, and his face was full of horror and surprise.
The rest of the people's faces also changed immediately. They are now glaring, and they are dull.
The wiping and happy air that was originally filled with the air in the air dissipated, and this space that was noisy due to the laughter of stocks and noise became silent at this moment.
The changes in all this, because the samurai who was shrouded in the moonlight responded to someone's phrase "Who?" ——————————————————————— -
"Natural flow."
"Tachibana Aoden."
After that, he replaced the samurai to speak the white blade mentioned by his right hand.
He raised the sword in his hand, and he was sideways forward.
The blade touched the moonlight and cut off the enemies and darkness in front of them!
