Rakshasa was silent for a moment, then smiled calmly:
"If the unparalleled 'Eternal Sword Master' is willing to join us, why worry about Tokugawa's immortality?"
"Lord Rakshasa, let's get back to the topic - in short, Lord Orochi doesn't want to rush you too much, but he still hopes you can work harder."
"……I see."
Rakshasa put away the bitter smile on his face, his expression was solemn, his tone suddenly became more precise, and his response was as powerful as boiling water that suddenly overflowed.
"Even without Orochi-sama's urging, I will burn my life for the sake of slaying the party and our great cause."
Nue looked at Rakshasa's face thoughtfully.
"...Lord Rakshasa."
"what happened again?"
"Because Orochi-sama has ordered me not to talk too much, so the following words are all my own words... Orochi-sama once said personally: Tamamozen-sama is rebellious, and Shuten Doji-sama is ignorant of political affairs. Otakemaru-sama only knows how to kill the enemy bandits with his sword. As for other cadres, it is difficult to shoulder the heavy burden. The whole party is punished by everyone. Only you are an all-rounder with both civil and military skills and the ability to take charge of your role. Because of this, Orochi-sama will I entrust all the important Kanto to you."
Nue's lips uttered slightly disgusting words, and Rakshasa couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard them.
"Oh, Lord Orochi... He is really both fearful and respectful."
As he muttered, he raised his face and stared at the starry sky above his head.
After a moment, a fearless smile appeared on his cheek.
"Well, although Lord Orochi is scary, but even so, I would like to follow Lord Orochi for seven lifetimes in this world."
"Lord Rakshasa, I'm sorry, this subordinate has never studied. I don't understand what 'Seven Lives in the World' is."
"I'm really tired talking to you!"
[Note·Seven Lives in the World: A famous Japanese allusion. It originated from the words of the famous warrior Kusunoki Masashige during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. When Kusunoki Masashige was defeated and about to die, he smiled and said: "I wish I could live seven lives to destroy the thieves." This means that he will be born in the human world for seven lives (seven reincarnations) and kill enemies for his country. 】
"Lord Rakshasa! Lord Nue!"
At this time, a strong man's voice came from a distance.
"Oh, it's Hirabayashi, what's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"Whoosh...! Whoosh...! Whoosh...!"
The strong man was bent over, holding his knees with his hands, out of breath.
"Looking, looking... I found Onodera!"
"Oh? We finally found him... Did he find his person, or did he find his body?"
"His body was found! My men found Onodera who died of serious injuries in a cave!"
Rakshasa nodded slightly.
"Well, that's good. Hirabayashi, you finally didn't disappoint me again. Where are Onodera's companions? How are they?"
"Uh... they... they... they..."
The strong man looked troubled and hesitated, unable to say a word for a long time.
His period of ai-ai attracted the displeased look of Rakshasa.
"Hey, hey, Hirabayashi, I have sent you three times more manpower. Don't tell me that with such a huge force, you still can't defeat Onodera's companions."
"This this……"
The strong man, whose face became increasingly pale, slowly lowered his head like a defeated rooster...
"Lord Rakshasa...I...I...I'm very sorry...Onodera's three companions...are so powerful! My subordinates have fought to the death! And I have also increased the bounty on their heads to 100 Two gold! But let alone capturing them or taking off their heads, it is very difficult to even hurt them! Especially the tallest guy, he is simply the reincarnation of the God of War!"
After saying that, the strong man closed his eyes tightly and lowered his head so low that his chin almost touched his collarbone.
He looked as if he was going to the execution ground.
However, he did not wait for the Rakshasa's rebuke or anger.
"oh?"
Rakshasa raised an eyebrow.
After a while, he asked in a tone of interest:
"Hirabayashi, where are Onodera's companions currently?"
"Yes! They are currently on the mountainside of that mountain!"
The Rakshasa followed the strong man's hand.
"Is it so powerful..."
As he murmured, he subconsciously raised his left hand and stroked the red-handled sword at his waist...
…
…
Although there were more enemies than he could count on both hands, Souji maintained a calm attitude and calmly launched a breathtaking offensive.
I saw her moving quickly as if she had split into three, five, or eight people.
Sometimes he jumps, sometimes he turns cleverly, sometimes he sprints hard.
Her small, flexible body was a perfect match for the complex forest beneath her feet.
When communicating with Souji at a distance, Seito was often surprised by Souji's physical flexibility.
"Miss Okita, can you even do such a difficult pose?" - Such sentiments, Qingto said countless times.
She easily passed through the narrow stone crevice.
She climbed over tall trees at will.
Souji's flexible movement made the black mothers who tried to chase her miserable.
They either bump into each other, lose their way, or yell at each other because of each other's obstruction.
After a while, the originally tight formation became loose.
This is the time the Director-General has been waiting for.
She saw the right moment, turned her attack, and used powerful sword skills.
"go to hell!"
Someone slashed at Souji with a knife.
Souji jumped up lightly and easily dodged the opponent's knife. The moment he landed, the knife in his hand flew down and hit the enemy's face.
"Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Another person came towards the commander-in-chief.
Souji Mao lowered his waist, and the sword in his right hand drew an arc, passed through the air, and hit the opponent's knife handle, neutralizing the enemy's attack.
The next moment, she gathered strength in her waist.
Her "retaliation" to the enemy in front of her was a standard cassock slash.
The blade slashed from the upper right to the lower left, cutting into the skin and flesh, cutting off the muscles and bones, and ending the life.
"ah--"
An ugly man positioned his sword perpendicular to his chest, pointed the tip of the sword at Souji's chest, and stabbed him fiercely.
Upon seeing this, the Souji held the sword with one hand and tilted his body slightly forward of the ugly man, avoiding the front.
At the same moment as she dodged the stabbing attack, she slashed back, and the blade made a semicircle in mid-air and hit the ugly guy's blade.
"Whoa!"
The ugly man screamed and the knife in his palm came out.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Souji stepped forward and slashed across the opponent's waist accurately with his white blade.
"Uh uh..."
The ugly man groaned and moved backwards, stepped on the air, and fell to the ground with a "plop".
Souji didn't like shouting, so whether she was practicing swordplay in the dojo or killing enemies with a real sword, she was always very quiet and rarely made any sound.
Taking human lives without saying a word... This "quietness" adds a sense of terror to Souji's fighting posture.
Every time she swung the knife, someone would be killed or injured.
Facing the onslaught of the Souji, the completely helpless black women fell down one by one. Their screams were like crows, and while wailing, they took off the feathers of their wings everywhere. In other words, , leaving their blood behind.
If Souji is the "silent god of death", then at the same time, on another battlefield not far away, a certain woman showed a completely different appearance.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
A full-bodied drink.
Before the shouting ended, someone's broken knife and head fell to the side with a "clang" sound and fell to the ground.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
There was another squeal.
The naginata sliced someone's chest open.
When Sanako withdrew the naginata, the man seemed to have a gun pressed against his chest. He weakly bent his knees and his neck hung weakly on his chest, as if he was staring at the wound on his chest.
Suddenly, a strong man wielding a gun attacked.
This man's spear is about 2 meters long, about the same length as Sanako's naginata.
Sanako glanced at the opponent's position, and then launched the same offensive - lowering his waist, tightening his stance, keeping his head, shoulders, feet, and knife flat, and the next moment the tip of the knife was pointed at the opponent's chest. , the sword comes out like a dragon!
One knife and one gun missed each other.
Phew!
The blade, as slender as a seedling, pierced the gunman's chest.
On the other hand, the opponent's gun tip... stopped just an inch in front of Sanazi Xiong.
"Ahem!"
The gunman vomited blood, loosened his grip, and dropped the gun.
At first glance, it seemed that the strength of the two sides was almost the same, and the gunman was only a little bit close to injuring Sanako.
Actually, this is not the case.
The reason why the gunman's spearhead was so close to Sanako's bear had nothing to do with his skill or skill. It was simply because Sanako's bear was too big and the mountain was too high.
After all, this is a huge thing that can hold up the skirt of a kimono and place it heavily on the belt in the southern hemisphere.
If Sanako had the same figure as Souji and Elodie, then it would be impossible for the gunman's gun tip to be so close to her.
But, in other words, if Sanako's bear was a little bigger... it would be dangerous...
The reason for the Gunners' defeat is very simple, there are only two reasons.
First, the size difference.
Sanako is 1.6 meters tall, which is far above the average male height of this era.
Therefore, in the eyes of most men nowadays, Sanako is an undoubted "female giant".
This is one of the reasons why Chiba Jutaro is so anxious to marry Sanako as soon as possible.
Men in this era have far less freedom in their sexual preferences than young people in the 21st century.
Due to male self-esteem, there are not that many people who like and are willing to drive big cars.
Fortunately, Sanako's face, figure, family background, connotation and other aspects are really superior, which makes up for the "flaw" in height.
However, when Sanako gets older, there will not be that many good sons who are willing to marry such a big woman.
The gunman was nearly two heads shorter than Sanako. In such a situation where their weapons were almost the same length and there was a huge difference in height, his hands were longer than Sanako's... This was simply seeking death.
As for the second reason, it was because the moves Sanako used were too overbearing.
According to Chinese martial arts, the stab that Zanako made just now was a standard "mid-level spear".
Zhongpingqiang - the simplest and most powerful technique in Chinese spearmanship.
As the name suggests, the starting position of Zhongping Qiang relies on the word "ping", which means the top is flat, the shoulders are flat, the feet are flat, and the gun is flat.
The gun head is pointed directly at the center of the opponent. No matter which direction the opponent hides from, the distance and time to dodge is the longest.
When one's own side attacks, it "pricks a line with the spear" and stabs straight out. Its route is the shortest, takes the shortest time, is fast and powerful, and has the potential to "go like an arrow". Make your opponent hard to defend against.
Furthermore, because the gun attacks from the center, the gun shaft has no left, right, up and down angles. If you want to prevent the stabbing, you must engage with the pole, so it is difficult for the opponent to block it.
In addition, switching from a mid-level gun to other moves is also the shortest distance and smallest angle, which is very conducive to the defensive counterattack of the gun.
Because the Zhongping Spear is too domineering, the ancients once said: "The Zhongping Spear is the king of spears. It can't be guarded by high or low, far or near, it can't be blocked by high, it can't be taken by low, and it's difficult to block the middle."
People who are practicing spears don't need to practice anything but this one move.
If you can practice the Zhongping Spear to perfection, you will become a master.
At this moment, Sanako suddenly felt a chill coming from the back of his neck.
Someone launched a surprise attack on Sanako from behind.
This beast's judgment and action were quite good, and he spotted the gap where Sanako's naginata was still embedded in the gunman's body and had not yet been withdrawn.
However, he misjudged one thing.
Naginata jutsu is just one of the many martial arts that Sanako is good at.
In addition to the naginata technique, she is also a recipient of the Kodachi sword technique of the Hoichen Itto style.
Soon enough, Sanako made a decisive decision, dropped the naginata in his hand, knelt down on one knee, turned around and pulled out the blue-handled wakizashi from his waist, and slashed at the cold air approaching behind him without warning.
This knife struck the enemy's vital point firmly.
The enemy groaned and slowly fell.
Compared to Souji, who was not rigid about formalities in battle, Sanako was extremely standard and precise in every move and style, as if he had stepped out of a textbook.
Maybe it's because of this, or maybe it's because of the bonus of appearance and temperament... In short, Sanako's posture when wielding the sword is extremely beautiful.
Whether she is stepping to attack or holding a knife to defend, every move she makes is as beautiful, elegant and pleasing to the eye as a dance.
Sanako shook off the remaining blood on the blade and sheathed it. She stretched out her right foot and hooked the naginata that fell on the ground with the blade still inserted into the gunman's chest. She raised her small toes a little higher and took advantage of the situation. Grasp the rising knife shaft, and then withdraw the knife head from the gunman's body in one breath.
Suddenly, a loud shout sounded from behind her.
"Miss Sanako! Stand aside!"
Sanako was stunned for a moment, and then twisted her body to the left without hesitation.
As Feiyun turned on the electricity, the earth began to tremble.
The black light flashed and the cold wind howled.
Something like the shadow of a flying bird flew past Sanako's side.
Phew!
The arrow that shot through the air hit an enemy not far from Sanako between the eyebrows.
Every move this person made next was like a toy that had its wind-up suddenly cut off.
First, his bloodshot eyes widened, and his whole body stood motionless.
Then his eyes rolled up and his head tilted back as if being pulled by his eyes.
