While Ogata was cursing angrily, he slit the neck of the samurai who attacked him.
Ogata couldn't help but gasp as the severe pain continued to spread from his thigh.
The pain in his thigh almost made it impossible for Ogata to maintain the "Breath of the Source" state.
After gritting his teeth, holding back the pain, and trying to maintain the "breathing of the source", Ogata quickly evacuated from the place, looking for new lone enemies and opportunities to attack them.
Fortunately - although he was hit by a sword in the thigh, the wound was not deep. It did not have a big impact on Ogata's actions.
Since just now, Ogata has been wanting to open his system interface to add points.
But the current fierce battlefield does not allow Ogata to do this.
Pulling out the system interface is equivalent to being distracted.
And in the current situation where there are enemies on all sides, whether you are confronting the enemy or running to create a one-on-one opportunity, a momentary distraction may lead to Ogata's injury or injury.
It's death.
Not to mention pulling out the system interface, Ogata didn't even have time to take a breath now. After killing one person, another person came, and after killing a pair, another pair came.
Four more samurai attacked Ogata.
The Wuwo Sword Style is a swordsmanship that is good at using one enemy against many.
Ogata, who uses the Mugo Two Sword Style, will not be at a disadvantage even if he fights several enemies at the same time.
Ogata wielded his double swords, relying on them to form an airtight "strong wall" to prevent every samurai's attack.
While defending, Ogata also actively counterattacked these four enemies.
The two flashes of the sword killed the two enemies in front of him.
Just when Ogata was about to kill the remaining two enemies, Ogata suddenly heard several sharp blasts of wind coming towards him.
Like a conditioned reflex, Ogata hurriedly turned his body to the side.
The moment Ogata dodged sideways, several arrows passed by Ogata's body.
One of the arrows flew directly towards Ogata's neck.
When flying close to Ogata's neck, it directly took away a layer of skin on Ogata's neck, and blood immediately flowed down the new wound on Ogata's neck.
"Damn it...!" Ogata cursed in a low voice at a volume that only he could hear clearly, "It's an archer...!"
After dodging the arrows fired by the archers, Ogata did not dare to delay any more. He used all his strength to knock down the last two samurai who were blocking him to the ground. Ogata immediately left the place.
Hide in a dense bush nearby.
After escaping from the place, Ogata immediately looked in the direction where the arrow had just been shot.
Soon, Ogata discovered the location of the archers.
Fully five archers squatted on the trunk of a big tree, holding up their long bows and aiming in the direction of Ogata.
Ogata has successfully killed many of Matsudaira Gennai's guards.
The reduction in the number of enemies is certainly a good thing.
But the reduction in the number of people actually has advantages and disadvantages for Ogata.
If there are too many people, it will actually be difficult to take advantage of the numbers.
In a complex environment like the forest, the numerical advantage is suppressed to a minimum.
The length of the arm plus the length of the sword, swinging the sword with your body as the center of the circle - just imagine how dangerous it is to stand side by side with the person holding the sword.
If one person is not good, it is easy to accidentally injure one's companions.
Since the beginning of the battle, Ogata has witnessed many idiots who accidentally injured his companions.
Not only that - the samurai standing in front of Ogata would sometimes choose to retreat because of timidity or to temporarily adjust the distance between themselves and Ogata.
The people behind did not know that the people in front wanted to retreat. They were dazzled by the high reward proposed by Matsudaira Genai, so they just kept pushing forward.
People in front want to move backward, people behind want to squeeze forward - chaos inevitably occurs.
At the same time, because of the large number of people, it is difficult for archers to aim.
However - as Ogata continued to kill Matsudaira Gennai's guards and continuously reduced the number of enemies, these problems were gradually solved.
Because the number of people decreased and it was not so crowded, the chaos began to gradually decrease, and it became easier for the guards of Matsudaira Gennai to cooperate with each other.
Moreover, due to the reduction in the number of people, it was much easier for the archers to aim, and the archers were able to gradually display their combat power.
——No...we have to find a way to get rid of the archers...
Ogata didn't think that in his current state, he could face the enemies that kept appearing from all directions while dealing with the sniping attacks of archers.
After confirming the location of the archers, Ouri relied on each big tree and jumped from the shade of one big tree to the shade of another big tree.
In this way of moving between obstacles, he got closer to the archers little by little.
Ogata's approach to the archers was destined to be full of hardships.
Because there are still many, many enemies on the ground...
Ogata did not specifically count how many enemies he had killed.
According to his rough estimate - there are about 30 people.
Ogata has never loved the forest as much as he does now.
It is precisely thanks to this forest that Ogata has a wide enough and complex space to run and find one-on-one opportunities.
If he were to fight these hundreds of samurai on an endless prairie or desert, Ogata felt that he might not be able to kill even 10 of them, and would be chopped into pieces by the enemies.
However... even after killing so many enemies, Ogata still feels that the enemies around him seem to be endless...
No matter how many people are killed, more people will always come forward.
Another samurai raised his sword high and struck at Ogata.
Ogata originally wanted to use the step steps of the Muga 2-sword style to dodge the samurai's attack.
However, as soon as his left foot took half a step to the side, a sharp pain suddenly came from the wound on his left leg, causing Ogata to freeze immediately.
Unable to dodge, Ogata could only raise the wakizashi of his left hand and use his sword to catch the samurai's blow.
clang!
Ogata's left palm was numb from the shock.
At this moment, Ogata heard several sharp blasts of wind coming toward him again.
--Oops!
Ogata wanted to escape immediately, but it was too late.
The timing of shooting by these archers was really good.
He just happened to seize the opportunity when Ogata was blocking other people's attacks and started shooting.
Five arrows cut through the air and struck towards Ogata.
Four of them dug into the ground at Ogata's feet.
The remaining one shot into Ogata's left shoulder.
"Well--!"
The pain coming from his left shoulder made Ogata let out a low cry of pain.
"Drink ah ah ah!" Ogata turned the pain into a roar. He used his left arm to push the knife on his wakizashi away, and then swung the katana with his right hand horizontally to cut open the knife in front of him.
This warrior's belly.
The intensity of the battle was such that Ogata could not even pull out the arrow that had pierced his shoulder.
Just as he took the life of the warrior in front of him, several more warriors came to kill him.
Ogata ignored these new enemies coming towards him.
He only had one thought now - to get rid of those archers quickly.
He jumped and rushed towards the direction of the archers.
After confirming that the archers squatting on the tree trunks had entered his attack range, Ogata immediately picked up a large stone on the ground and threw it at them.
