Red Moon Fortress (Heye Zhe), northwest corner——

The northwest corner of the Red Moon Fortress is a very special place for the residents of the Red Moon Fortress - because this area is where the villagers of Kapasi Village live.

The villagers of Kapasi Village can be regarded as the most special group in the Red Moon Fortress.

Because - they participated in the "Battle of Kunasili Menasi" three years ago that ended in a disastrous defeat for the Ainu people...

After the Kapasi Village that participated in this battle suffered a disastrous defeat, in order to escape Kazuto's revenge, the remaining villagers abandoned their homes and fled in a hurry, finally escaping to the vicinity of the Red Moon Fortress.

Chanup sympathized with the plight of Kapasi Village and agreed to accommodate them in Heyezhe. Only then did the villagers of Kapasi Village finally end their wandering life.

If you walk in the area where the villagers of Kapasi Village live, you can clearly find that compared with other areas of the Red Moon Fortress, the area where the villagers of Kapasi Village live has two distinctive features. Features:

1: The number of adult males is extremely small.

2: Among the only males, the disability rate is extremely high.

And these two distinctive features are all due to the tragic "Battle of Kunasi Limenasi"... A large number of men in Kapasi Village died in this war, and the men who survived by chance, Many of them have also become disabled...

At this moment - in the area where the villagers of Kapasi Village live, a woman is weaving cloth meticulously with a weaving tool in her house.

While the woman was weaving seriously, a little girl who looked somewhat similar to the woman was playing with the Mukuri, the traditional musical instrument of the Ainu people.

The so-called "Mukuli" is an instrument similar to a harmonica. Because it is easy to play, even children can play the Mukuli skillfully.

"Sister! I brought new firewood!"

A loud shout sounded outside the door.

Then, a young man carried a large bundle of firewood, opened the door curtain, and strode into the house.

There is something about this man that is particularly eye-catching - he has only one hand, and his left sleeve from his left shoulder down is empty.

"Oh, you're here." The woman temporarily put down what she was doing and greeted her younger brother, the one-armed young man, with a smile on her face.

And the little girl who had been playing with Mukuli just now rushed towards the one-armed young man with a smile on her face: "Uncle!"

The one-armed young man placed the large bundle of firewood on his right shoulder on the ground, and then gently stroked the head of the little girl who rushed towards him with the palm of his only right hand:

"Nonoka, I just heard the sound of your piano outside the house. Your music is getting better and better."

Nonoka - the girl's name.

After praising his niece, the one-armed young man looked at his sister:

"Sister, I got a lot of good things from my friends today, including a small half deer, a few fat rabbits, and a lot of mushrooms! I can't finish them all by myself, let's finish them together!"

The two siblings had a close relationship, so the woman didn't show any pretense and nodded straightforwardly.

"These foods are now placed in my house." The one-armed young man continued, "There are too many preys for me to move here alone. Sister, please go and move the food here with me!"

The woman nodded again: "Okay!"

After she told the little girl, her daughter, to take good care of the house, she and her brother strode towards her brother's residence.

As soon as the two left the woman's home, the one-armed young man leaned his head towards his sister and whispered:

"Nonoka has finally become energetic again recently."

"Well..." the woman sighed softly, "What a worried child..."

"Before, when I learned that the child actually ran to seek revenge on the Kazuto who came to our Heye Zhe, my legs were so frightened..."

If Ogata sees this woman's daughter named "Nonoka" now, he will definitely recognize it quickly - this child is exactly the little girl who "assassinated" him with a stone before.

On the first night after Ogata followed the villagers of Qina Village to Heyezhe, he was "assassinated" by this little girl.

That night, the little girl shouted "Bring my father back", while holding the stone in her palm tightly, she ran towards Ogata, who had the face of Zhang Kazuto...

"Fortunately, nothing serious happened in the end..." The one-armed young man smiled bitterly, then raised his arm and gently stroked his left arm, which only had one shoulder left.

"...Sister, you can't really blame Nonoka for being ignorant and careless."

"I quite understand Nonoka... If possible, I would also like to drive out all the people who have entered Heye Zhe..."

Speaking of this, the one-armed young man seemed to have recalled some very bad memories, his brows furrowed and his face showed pain.

The woman walking beside him also darkened her expression at this moment.

The one-armed young man had thrown his head and blood in the "Battle of Cunasil and Menasse" - his left arm was cut off by a Kazuto soldier during the battle.

Although he became disabled, he was lucky - at least he saved his life.

His brother-in-law, the woman's husband and Nonoka's father, died directly on the battlefield, and even the bones were not recovered...

Every family in Kapasi Village is basically like the one-armed young man and his family - their families were broken up due to the war, and their families are no longer intact.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I seem to have said something too heavy..." The one-armed young man put down his right hand that was stroking his left shoulder and apologized to his sister, "It's all in the past, we are still

Let’s talk about something interesting.”

"Sister, the mushrooms I got this time are quite fresh. We can have a feast."

"Really?" The woman also put away the gloom on her face at this time and smiled, "Then let's cook your and Nonoka's favorite mushroom stewed rabbit tonight!"

"Sister, are you going to cook mushroom stew and rabbit meat tonight?" The one-armed young man grinned, "Then I will cook less at noon today, so as to save more food for dinner."

The two siblings walking on a path were talking and smiling.

Because it was almost lunch time, many houses on both sides of the trail were now letting out smoke and the smell of rice.

When walking on the road, from time to time you can meet children playing around.

Such a quiet and beautiful scene.

However... at this moment, at this moment, a sharp sound suddenly sounded, which was faster than the next, destroying such a quiet and beautiful scene.

Woo——! Woo——! Woo——!

"What is this sound?!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"

"It seems like a sound coming from outside!"

…

Most of the people in the Red Moon Fortress had never had much contact with He Ren, so they didn't recognize the voice.

But - some people recognize this voice.

After the strange sound exploded, the one-armed young man was stunned for a moment. Then, the blood on his face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then he shouted in horror:

"It's the conch! It's the sound of the conch made by the Kazuto army! Why is there the sound of the conch?!"

The people who could recognize the sound were naturally the villagers of Kapashi Village where Kazuto had fought a bloody battle.

For surviving "veterans" like the one-armed young man, I'm afraid they will never forget this voice for the rest of their lives...

…

…

The sudden appearance of the conch made Azuki's expression change drastically as he just thought he had finally heard the rare good news.

"The Conch...are the shogunate troops coming...?" Although he tried to remain calm, there was still obvious uneasiness and fear in A-Machi's tone.

Compared with Omachi, whose expression changed drastically, Ogata's performance was much calmer.

After the conch horn was blown, Ogata's expression only changed slightly, and then he quickly regained his composure.

"Ah-Machi, wait for me here." Ogata said in a calm tone while grabbing the Daishiten placed on the right side of his body, "I'll go outside to check the situation. I'll come back as soon as I go."

"Okay..." Amachi nodded and took a deep breath, trying to calm down his panicked heart.

After inserting Da Shiten back into his left waist, Ogata rushed out of the clinic.

Just after leaving the clinic, Oufang saw many residents abandoning what they were doing and running towards the direction of the sound of the conch sound - the south.

Ogata ran towards the south with the crowd.

After the southern city wall appeared in the field of vision, Ogata gradually heard other sounds besides the sound of the conch - the rumble of horse hooves and the tread of human feet...

…

…

Red Moon Fortress, south——

"Is this the Red Moon Fortress? It's much smaller than I thought."

After the death of Sheng Tianmu, Gui Zhenghe, who parachuted into the First Army and served as the new general of the First Army, was standing on a high slope at this time.

Wearing a helmet and armor, and holding military paraphernalia, he used the military paraphernalia in his hand as a fan to fan himself while looking at the Red Moon Fortress not far away.

Kuroda, who had been assisting Gui Zhenghe during this period, was holding the knife at his waist and standing beside Gui Zhenghe.

Gui Zhenghe is now smiling and looking high-spirited.

Kuroda next to him also looked similar, with a smile on his face.

After encountering the "Ogata Ittosai Attack", which could be called a "major scandal", the reputation of the First Army was severely damaged.

For the generals of the Second Army and the Third Army in charge of the rear, "joking about the First Army" has become their main topic of conversation during this period.
