Chapter 76 'Nioh Breaking the Formation Song' [Please order first!] (1W update)
"Is there something dirty in your eyes? Since there is something dirty in your eyes, wipe your eyes quickly!"
Saito, who had no idea what Aoto meant when he just said "his vision has become strange", just thought that Aoto had something dirty in his eyes that obscured his vision, so his vision became strange.
In a somewhat impatient tone, he loudly urged Qingden to wipe his eyes quickly. He held the knife in front of him and stared at the incoming attack from the south as if facing a formidable enemy. He had already rushed into the camp.
Among them, there was a large force of the anti-barbarian group.
The anti-barbarian group that came towards the camp had no formation to speak of.
To put it harshly... they were just like a bunch of gangsters fighting for territory on the street. They had no formation or organization at all, and they rushed up in a swarm.
Therefore, among them, some people are bound to rush ahead because they run faster, and some people rush behind because they run slower.
Saito also knew that their top priority now was to quickly join Komuro and others.
As long as we can join up with the large army and gather all our strength, we will have a chance to break the desperate situation in front of us.
Even if he and Qing Deng were to fight against such a large-scale enemy alone, they would die of exhaustion under the human sea tactics if they were not hacked to death.
While escorting Qingto back to the center of the camp, Saito kept swinging his sword to kill all the invading enemies one by one!
A certain freckle-faced samurai held the unsheathed sword at his waist. When he was three feet away from Qing Zhai, he suddenly pulled out the sword. Saito was unmoved.
When Vine passed by, there was a muffled sound of a sharp blade cutting flesh. The two only fought for one round before "Freckles" fell forward to the ground.
While killing Freckles with one blow, Saito also grabbed Freckles' knife with his right hand.
The next moment after successfully grabbing the knife, Saito pointed the knife he had just snatched at another enemy on his right side and thrust the knife forward with force. The sharp tip of the knife cut the man's lip and shattered it.
It hit his upper front teeth and penetrated from the mouth to the back of his head.
After leaving the knife that had just been snatched away without even heating the handle on the man's head, Saito hurriedly continued to protect Qingtou and moved toward the center of the camp.
But before he had taken a few steps, several more enemies rushed towards him.
Saito stopped and quickly got ready for the next fight.
This time, there were four enemies attacking.
Facing the four blades that were slashing in arcs and attacking in different directions, Saito's face darkened slightly, but he did not panic.
I saw Saito's footsteps sliding, kicking the snow on the ground.
Saito's body flashed with flexibility and he got rid of the fight in one breath.
One flash, then another flash, Saito's sword flashed twice silently.
He only swung the knife twice and ended up killing these four people.
After knocking down these four people, Saito did not dare to have any more love fights.
Because he saw that a large group of at least 20 people was already approaching them.
Even if he was alone, Saito had no confidence that he could fight against more than twenty samurai by himself, let alone that he now had to distract himself from protecting Aoto.
As two grown men, they naturally walked much faster than women and children. In just a moment, Qing and Zhai caught up with Elodie and Leroy who had "evacuated" before them.
Qingdeng and others are looking for the "large army", and the "large army" is also looking for them.
"Elodie! Elodie! (French)"
Anthony's anxious cry sounded from the west.
Anthony, who was tightly protected by Xiao Shi and others, walked toward the south of the camp where Elodie was said to have been seen, with steps that were slightly staggering due to panic.
After hearing Anthony's voice, Leroy, who held Elodie tightly in his arms, responded quickly and loudly:
"Monsieur Angoulême! We are here! We are here! (French)"
Anthony, who heard Leroy's shouting, quickly led the people to follow the sound.
The two groups of men and horses finally converged amidst the earth-shattering shouts of killing.
“Elodie! (French)”
"Grandpa! (French)"
Elodie is now gradually recovering from the shock of the attack.
Seeing the familiar round figure and hearing the familiar old voice, Elodie, whose eyes were reddish, jumped out of Leroy's arms and shouted "Grandpa" in a slightly trembling voice, taking three steps.
And in two steps he jumped into Anthony's arms.
Hui Hui Hui Hui——!
Suddenly, bursts of horse braying came.
Hearing the sounds of horses braying, Komuro quickly turned his head and looked around - six of his subordinates were dragging three horses towards them.
"Monsieur Angoulême!" Seeing that the horse finally came, Komuro hurriedly shouted to Anthony, "The horse is here! You and Mademoiselle Angoulême get on horseback and get out of here quickly! We are here to wean you off!"
For Komuro and others, the most important thing at the moment is undoubtedly to ensure the lives of Anthony and Elodie.
The French were killed... and a pair of grandsons who had done nothing wrong and just came to this country to do business were killed... This was not a small matter for the current Edo shogunate.
France will never sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing.
After being held accountable by France, how should the Edo shogunate, which had no way to compete with these overseas powers, explain itself?
It's obvious... Of course, Xiaoshi and his group of poorly guarded guards should be used to explain to France...
It is inevitable to commit seppuku. In the worst case, you will be deprived of your status as a samurai and the entire family will be demoted to civilians...
Therefore, if anything happens to Anthony and Elodie, it will not be a good thing for them as guards.
Since Anthony and Elodie would definitely die if they were allowed to die, it would be better to protect the grandsons until the last moment! In this way, even if they die, they can still preserve the family's samurai origin.
Xiaoshi, who knew the stakes involved, had just sent his subordinates to fetch all the horses used to pull the carriage.
In order to allow the horses that had been pulling the carriages for a day to fully rest, these horses were tied to several big trees in the center of the camp.
Xiao Shi's plan is simple - let Anthony, Elodie and the others ride away from here!
On their side...even if Anthony and others are included, there are only about 40 people.
The enemies that came... Judging from the sound of footsteps, there were at least 150 or more...
Such a disparity in numbers made Komuro immediately reject the idea of relying on bloody battles to protect Anthony and others.
At present, the most likely way for Anthony and the others to escape is to get on their horses and leave here before the encirclement of the rebel group is completely closed!
Because of the gunfire used by Suehiro to announce the start of the battle, and the louder shouts of killing now, the horses were frightened and became difficult to control. Coupled with the tight time, Komuro was sent to lead the horses.
His subordinates only had time to fetch three horses.
3 horses...are enough!
"I see the Yi people! They are here! They are here!"
Anthony, Elodie, and Leroy successfully reunited...the main goals of this operation were all gathered together, and naturally they attracted all the members of the nearby anti-insurgency group.
Groups of members of the anti-barbarian group wearing blood-red feathers swooped in from all directions like passing locusts!
Seeing this, Xiao Shi's face became even more sweaty.
"Monsieur Angoulême! Let's go!" Xiao Shi pushed Anthony, who was still hugging Elodie, and pushed them towards the horses that had been led over.
"Grandpa!" Elodie looked around anxiously, "Where's Miss Wu? Why isn't Miss Wu here? (French)"
Even in the midst of crisis, Elodie has not forgotten her best friend.
However, when she looked around her now... she didn't see Kiryu and Kinoshita Mai at all...
Anthony ignored Elodie's rhetorical question in his arms.
His brain has no time to think about anything else now.
Take Elodie away quickly... at least make sure Elodie leaves alone - this is the only thought left in Anthony's mind.
But at this moment...
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
A loud noise like exploding beans suddenly exploded.
The muskets are roaring!
