Ogata looked upstream of the river in the direction pointed by Omachi's finger, but saw nothing.
"Where's the body?"
"follow me!"
After saying that, A-Machi spread his legs and ran upstream along the bank of the Linong River.
After following closely behind Omachi and running a certain distance upstream, Oubon saw two mutilated corpses on a certain river bank upstream.
Looking at the two mutilated corpses lying on the bank of the river, Ogata and Atachi both frowned.
Both of these two men were wearing armor provided by the government to the prisoners, and they both had sword sheaths hanging on their waists. From a glance, it was obvious that they were also among the prisoners who were forced to land on the island.
The death of these two people was extremely tragic.
The two men died in the same way, being cut in half.
Both of them were cut in half.
Blood, internal organs and other materials were everywhere, his eyes were wide open and full of fear, and his death was extremely miserable.
Ogata and Atachi squatted next to the two corpses and began to observe the two corpses.
Both of these two people were hacked to death, so it would only be humans who killed them, not cannibals.
The body hadn't started to decompose yet, so it probably hadn't been long since it died.
Judging from the cleanliness of their armor, they were both prisoners who had just landed on the island.
Like Ogata and Atachi, he should be one of the fourth batch of prisoners to land on the island.
"They were all cut in half with one sword..." Ogata murmured, "cut in half with the armor on... The guy who killed these two people is quite capable..."
"There are only two types of weapons that can cause such serious injuries..." Atachi, who was on the side, also whispered softly at this time, "Odachi, and..."
"A large naginata for men." Ogata answered for Atachi.
Surrounding the two corpses were scattered not only a large number of armor fragments, but also knife fragments.
In their right hands, both of these two men were holding only one piece of the sword.
Looking at this scene, a picture gradually emerged in Ogata's mind. These two prisoners encountered a master who was good at using the Odachi or Naginata.
Although he reluctantly raised the sword in his hand, trying to defend himself from the master's attack, but because his skill and strength were not as good as this master's, the knife was directly cut off by the master, and the armor was also chopped into pieces.
The man was cut in half with his sword and armor.
"...I have a hunch." Atachi suddenly said, "These two people should have been killed by the 'demon monk' Ishun."
"As far as I know, the 'Yōmonk' Ichi, who is good at using the naginata, always cuts his opponent in half when he kills people due to his extraordinary natural strength."
"It doesn't matter who killed these two people." Ogata slowly stood up and said, "Anyway, we just need to be careful."
"Let's go, A-Machi, there's nothing interesting about these two corpses. Let's go on to find the shogunate researchers' station."
After that, Ogata once again took out the map Sokai drew for them, then carefully compared the surrounding environment, and then muttered in a low voice:
"We should be arriving soon..."
…
…
Just as Ogata whispered, they were indeed about to arrive at the shogunate researchers' station.
After bidding farewell to the two corpses and walking along the Linong River upstream for nearly an incense stick, the two of them saw an open river bank.
And on this wide river bank, there are a large number of military tents.
Because these military tents had not been taken care of for a long time, they were all tilted by the wind.
Several flags painted with "shamrock pattern" were stretched out in the wind in this camp.
The entire camp exuded a deathly silence.
Although Sokai said that there were no cannibals in this area, Ogata and Omachi still moved their wrists and ankles before entering the camp.
Amachi even checked the iron cannon behind him and confirmed that the iron cannon behind him was ready to fire at any time.
Even if there are no cannibals in this camp, there might be other prisoners.
What's more, the two of them had just seen two corpses suspected of being killed by "Monk" Ishun on the downstream river bank.
This made the two of them even more cautious.
After checking their equipment and stretching their wrists and ankles, the two began to walk slowly into the long-abandoned camp.
After stepping into this camp, the first impression that struck Ogata was that of chaos.
Extremely messy.
Whether outside the camp or inside the camp, there are a large number of items scattered on the ground.
Unused scrolls and papers, empty bamboo tubes, scabbards without knives, burned out torches... in short, there is everything on the ground.
Looking at the ground scattered with a lot of debris, A-Machi murmured:
"It seems... the people in this camp were really in a hurry when they evacuated here..."
"Yeah..." Ogata echoed, "I hope they can leave something slightly useful. Come on, Amachi, let's go into the camp and take a look."
The two planned to search tent by tent, searching every inch of the camp.
The two's first target was an ordinary tent located on the outermost edge of the camp.
call!
After tearing open the curtain of the tent, Ogata and Atachi immediately cast alert glances into the tent.
This tent is very safe.
There are no cannibals or prisoners hiding inside.
This tent was rather overly safe. Not only were there no enemies inside, there was also nothing inside.
This tent was empty. Ogata and Atachi could only look away in disappointment and headed towards the next tent.
…
…
Unlike yesterday when I searched the village, I could find some useful things from time to time. Every tent in this camp was empty.
Even if there are things inside, they are basically useless waste.
With growing disappointment, the two of them had unknowingly reached the heart of the camp.
The curtain of the tent was lifted again, and the empty scene once again appeared in front of their eyes.
"Is there any mistake?"
As if he couldn't bear it any longer, Omachi began to curse loudly.
"When the people of the shogunate evacuated, they evacuated too cleanly, right?! Can't they leave something valuable behind?!"
Although Ogata did not curse as loudly as Atachi, the resentment in his heart was not much less than Atachi's.
After all, it took the two of them such a long time to get here, but they didn't find any useful supplies or valuable information. Anyone else would feel very unhappy.
Just when Ogata was about to put down the opened curtain and head down to a certain tent, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a white object lying in an inconspicuous corner of the tent.
Ogata took a closer look and found that it was a thin book with nothing written on the cover.
Tell the truth after dreaming
[Japanese history small class starts~]
I mentioned the naginata weapon in the previous class.
Originally, the naginata was a weapon used by Japanese monks to defend temples.
Later, it became the main battle weapon on the battlefield.
In later years, it was replaced by more practical long guns.
After the naginata was eliminated from the battlefield, it gradually became a weapon used by women to guard homes and nursing homes.
The blades of naginata used by women tend to be narrower.
The naginata used by men, such as monk soldiers, have wider blades and are shaped more like seki swords.
