Chapter 489 About the fact that the village chief had peculiar ideas about Ogata [Explosion 1W]
I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan Volume 1: Samurai Life from Scratch Chapter 489 About the Village Chief’s Strange Thoughts towards Ogata [Breaking Update 1W] Just now, Ogata and He could still pick up weapons
The villagers who came to fight launched a counterattack that was hearty to the villagers of Qina Village.
After raising the heads of Vladimir and Alexei with spears, the morale of the Cossacks dropped rapidly when they saw that their general had their heads chopped off.
After being pursued by everyone led by Ogata, their already rapidly declining morale finally fell to a freezing point, and then began to collapse.
The fighting spirit and morale of the Cossacks collapsed.
On the other hand, the morale of the villagers in Qina Village is rising.
The villagers of Qina Village pursued the fleeing Cossacks with a revenge mentality.
Morale is a very strange thing.
When morale is low, 100% of the strength may not be used at 30%.
And when morale is high, 100% of the strength may be used to exert 150%.
The villagers of Qina Village, who were originally stunned by the muskets, returned to their proper state due to the increase in morale and fighting spirit.
Except for a few people, the vast majority of the Cossacks just want to leave this ghost place quickly, and they don't even dare to turn around and look at the villagers who are chasing them.
Although these Cossacks all ride horses and have extremely high mobility, facing the poisonous arrows shot by the villagers of Qina Village, they can only be said to have escaped in one breath to a position where no one's poisonous arrows can reach them.
It's safe up here.
Moreover, these Cossacks had another weakness because they were riding horses.
That is, they are very easily implicated by their mounts.
Horses are much larger than people on horseback, so they are easier to shoot.
Therefore, the villagers in Qina Village did not shoot the people on horseback, but shot the horses.
As long as the horse is shot down, everything will be easy.
He fell off his horse and was injured as well as dead.
Then the poisonous arrows cut through the air, the horses were shot down, and the Cossacks fell off their horses one after another.
And Ogata also tried his best to carry out a "pursuit and fierce" attack on the fleeing Cossacks.
But after all, Ogata only has one pair of legs and one pair of hands. No matter how high his swordsmanship is, he cannot kill all the Cossacks who are fleeing in all directions.
The same is true for the remaining villagers of Qina Village. In the battle just now, they have suffered a lot of casualties.
Although the morale of those who were still alive and able to fight was greatly increased, because the number was still too small, it was not possible to keep all the Cossacks here.
According to Ogata, there were about 20 Cossacks who escaped from the village in different directions.
The transformation from almost defeat to turning defeat into victory made many villagers in Qina Village feel like they were dreaming.
However, joy is joy, but despite the joy, the villagers who can still stand still feel very heavy.
The cries of pain and groans that echoed throughout the village told them that many of their compatriots were injured.
At the same time, many compatriots have lost the ability to cry out and moan in pain.
So after the battle, those who could move without anyone's instructions spontaneously took action to find the injured people scattered everywhere.
Ogata followed a group of people to find Chepke, the head of Qina Village.
Chepke is their village chief, their backbone, and has high popularity in the village.
Since then, no one has seen Chepke again, which makes the villagers who respect Chepke very anxious.
So some villagers decided to look for Chepke, and the first place they looked for was Chepke's home.
The main reason why Ogata followed these people to find their village chief was to meet that Chepke.
As the "guest generals" who helped them tonight, he and Atachi had to meet the leader of Qina Village.
As soon as a group of people arrived at the door of Chepke's house, they bumped into Chepke, who was determined to risk his life to help his family escape, with a tragic expression as if he was going to the execution ground.
This was the first time Ogata met Chepke.
Ogata looked at Chepke in front of him.
His left shoulder seemed to be injured, and blood was constantly pouring out. His entire left arm and the clothes on his left arm were stained red with blood.
Standing behind Chepke were a young man, a woman and a girl.
The male one is probably in his early 30s, and his facial features are somewhat similar to Chepke's. He should be Chepke's son.
In addition to this young man, the unrelated girl who looked to be in her teens also bore some resemblance to Chepke and should be Chepke's granddaughter.
Ogata guessed that the woman with the plump figure should be Chepke's daughter-in-law.
After hearing the good news that all the Cossacks had been defeated, Chepke and his party, without exception, showed expressions of shock and excitement.
But I don't know if it was Ogata's misunderstanding. After Chepke and the others heard the good news, in addition to the expressions of shock and excitement, Chepke, his son, and his daughter-in-law also showed strange expressions.
Especially Chepke's expression seemed a little stiff...
…
…
Chepke's mood... is very complicated now.
Originally, he had already made up his mind to die, and said goodbye to his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. At the same time, he also told them all the things that he had never dared to tell his son and daughter-in-law before.
Let yourself have no regrets.
As a result, he now told Chepke: They have offended him and he does not need to die.
Chepke:???
If it weren't for the "excitement" of saving the village that outweighed the "embarrassment", Chepke would definitely be blushing from embarrassment and wouldn't even know how to put on his expression.
Embarrassing as it is, the emotions Chepke feels most deeply now are excitement and excitement.
After Chepke quickly put away the weird look on his face, he asked anxiously to the people in front of him:
"Have all those white-skinned people really been beaten away?"
"Well! There were only about 20 people who ran away!" A strong man said excitedly, "The rest were killed!"
As soon as the strong man finished speaking, a woman added in an equally excited tone:
"It's all thanks to this Kazuto's help!"
The woman pointed to Ogata.
Chepke looked at Ogata and Atachi, who were quite unfamiliar to him.
"He and the woman next to him are the couple that Aiyaka brought to our village today!" A villager explained the identities of Ogata and Omachi for the village chief, "There are at least 30 white-skinned people.
People are killed by this name and by people!”
Chepke knew about the fact that Aiyaka from Kuma Village brought a couple of Japanese people into their village today when Ogata and the others first entered the village.
But because he was busy meeting with Skulucci and listening to the "important things" Skulucci said, Chepke never met Ogata and the others.
Chepke, his son and daughter-in-law behind him all opened their eyes in surprise, opened their mouths wide, and looked at Ogata with expressions as if they were looking at rare animals.
"I just did something that I could do." Ogata said softly.
The young man standing next to Ogata happens to understand Japanese.
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, he promptly translated Ogata's words to everyone present who could not understand Japanese.
As soon as the translator finished translating what Ogata had just said, a male voice that was very familiar to Ogata and Atachi sounded from beside them.
"Mashima... Omachi... you two are here... I finally found you."
"Aiyaka." Ogata exclaimed in low voice.
The owner of this male voice is none other than Aiyaka.
Ayaka, who had a strong look of exhaustion on his face, slowly walked towards Ogata and the others.
The quiver behind him that was originally full of arrows now only had a few arrows left. Every move he made was full of exhaustion, and one could imagine what a fierce battle he had just gone through.
"Are you not hurt?" Ogata asked.
"Yes." Aiyaka nodded, and then forced a faint smile, "I am the most powerful hunter in Kuma Village, and I am not that easy to get hurt."
"Not only was I not injured, I also killed five people."
Seeing that Ayaka was not injured, Ogata also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he and Eyaka had only just met, Ogata had always been grateful and respectful to Eyaka who had given him and Atachi a lot of help.
"2 warriors."
At this moment, Chepke suddenly looked at Ogata and Atachi with a serious face.
"May I ask what your names are?"
The young man standing next to Ogata who knew Japanese quickly helped Ogata translate.
Ogata: "My name is Majima Goro."
"My name is Atachi."
In order to accommodate Chepke, who did not speak Japanese, Ogata deliberately spoke his name slowly.
"Mashima...Goro...Amachi..."
Chepke slowly lowered his head towards Ogata and Atachi.
"Thank you. Thank you for your helping hand. We will not forget your kindness."
After saying that, Chepke turned around and bowed his head deeply towards Aiyaka.
"Thank you too. Aiyaka Qina Village will never forget the friendship with Kuma Village."
"You're welcome." Ogata said, "I just said it, I just did what I should do."
"and"
Ogata turned his head and looked east.
"Besides us, there are others helping you."
"Others?" After listening to the translator's translation, Chepke cast a doubtful look at Ogata.
…
…
Turn back time to just now
"Damn it! Damn it!"
One Cossack vented his inner fear by spouting all the curse words in Lucian.
Bang!
There was another huge sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the screams of people behind him.
The Cossack didn't need to look back to know that the huge landing sound should be the sound of the horse falling to the ground. As for the scream, it was the scream of the man on the horse who was thrown to the ground because the horse fell to the ground.
He turned his head slightly and glanced behind him.
Just now, there were two other people following him, riding horses and running away with him.
But now there is no one behind him.
The two men fell to death because their horses were shot by poisonous arrows, and their whole bodies fell to the ground with them.
In the current situation, without the horse, death is basically certain.
And he had no intention of rescuing his fallen companions.
Because he himself has too much time to take care of himself now.
Whizzing!
The scalp-numbing sound of sharp arrows piercing the air kept passing by the Cossack's ears.
He pressed his whole body against the horse's back to minimize the possibility of being shot, and at the same time kept praying to God that no poisonous arrows would hit his horse.
The low-rise houses full of Ainu characteristics quickly passed by the Cossack.
Along the way, I also met many villagers from this village.
They did not dare to stand in front of the galloping horse. They only dared to stand by the road or on the roof and shoot at him with bows and arrows.
I wonder if his prayers worked.
Finally the Cossack turned onto a road leading directly out of the village.
Looking forward, he could already see the vast snowfield outside the village.
There are about 30 steps left to the outside of the village.
He excitedly said to himself in his heart: It's quick! It's quick! It's almost time to escape.
The horse under his crotch was already dripping with sweat, and he shed a lot of sweat beads with every step he took.
However, the Cossack showed no mercy to his mount, and once again gently knocked on the horse's belly, trying to make the mount that had already reached its speed go faster, further draining the mount's physical strength.
There are about 20 steps left from the outside of the village.
The sound of arrows flying past him became increasingly sparse.
As the sound of arrows breaking through the air became increasingly sparse, a look of ecstasy began to appear on the Cossack's face little by little.
However, when he was only 20 steps away from the village, the Cossack suddenly saw a figure appearing in front of him.
A figure jumped from the roof of a low house with neat movements.
This figure fell directly in front of the Cossack, on the only way the Cossack must pass out of the village.
And this figure is none other than Ogata.
How many people have been killed tonight? Ogata didn't count, but he must have killed at least 30 people.
He was now chasing the Cossacks who were trying to escape, killing more and more people.
There was a lot of blood splattered all over his body, and he looked straight at the Cossack in front of him.
Then pass the Da Zi Zi with your left hand to your mouth, bite the handle of the knife with your mouth, then hold the Da Shi Tian in your hand with both hands, slowly lift the Da Shi Tian up, and switch to the upper posture.
Regardless of Da Shi Tian or Da Zi Zi, the blade is currently covered in blood and fat.
If he just sheathed his sword without cleaning it, it would only take about 2 days for an unpleasant smell to come out of his sheath.
After 7 days, his scabbard will be so smelly that even Atachi won't want to get close to him.
Facing Ogata who suddenly stood in front of him, the Cossack was stunned for a moment, then the look of ecstasy on his face slowly changed to a look of ferocity and a hint of doubt.
The reason why he was confused was because he found that the guy standing in front of him was wearing Japanese clothes, holding a Japanese sword, and his facial features were completely different from those of the Ainu. He seemed to be Japanese.
Due to poor information transmission, this Cossack, who was just the most ordinary member of the team, did not know that a Japanese suddenly appeared in the village, and that their failure tonight was all thanks to this Japanese.
That's why he felt so confused when he saw the Japanese suddenly appearing in front of him.
As for why he looked ferocious... the reason is simple.
There is no branch road for him to take a detour around Ogata.
It is impossible for him to turn the horse's head now, go back the same way, and change another way.
If we go back the same way we came, God knows what accidents will happen.
The guy who was standing in front of him, holding the knife in the air, could tell at a glance that this guy dressed in Japanese attire would definitely not let him go just like that.
So, the Cossack drew his saber and planned to forcefully break through Ogata's obstruction.
The distance between him and Ogata was only 7 steps.
Looking at the cavalryman in front of him who was charging straight towards him, Ogata couldn't help but recall those cars in his previous life.
The pressure you feel when a car rushes straight towards you is very similar to the pressure Ogata feels now.
It can give people a feeling of "if I stay where I am, I will definitely be crushed."
Faced with this unbearable sense of oppression, Ogata did not change his expression. He only silently maintained the upper position of holding the Daeshakuten with both hands, staring closely at the Cossack in front of him, silently calculating the distance between the enemy and ourselves.
.
The distance between Ogata and the Cossack was only 3 steps.
Ogata was calculating the distance, and the Cossack was also calculating the distance.
The Cossack knew that whether he could break through Ogata's obstruction while keeping himself and his horses intact was related to whether he could survive tonight.
He did not dare to charge Ogata with his horse.
The horse under his crotch was already panting.
In such a tired situation, if you still let it collide with the enemy, something might happen.
The horse was his life now, and he did not dare to gamble or expose his horse to any possible risks.
The Cossack clenched the saber in his hand tightly, sweat secreting from his palm due to nervousness and slightly moistening the handle of the saber.
Both sides measured the distance between each other, waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
There are only 3 steps left between the two.
2 steps.
Ogata could already feel the breath coming out of the horse's nostrils and mouth.
1 step.
Both of them could clearly see each other's facial features.
0 steps!
They finally waited for their best opportunity to attack.
The Cossack moved like cutting wheat, swinging his knife to cut Ogata's head.
Almost at the same time, Ogata slashed down the Daishiten held high.
Da Shitian moved diagonally towards the Cossack's saber from the upper right to the lower left.
Sakakihara's sword flow·water falls.
Cha Cha Cha Cha...
The two knives collided heavily in mid-air and the winner was determined directly.
The Cossacks were far less powerful than Ogata.
The moment the two knives collided, the knife in the Cossack's hand was squeezed away.
That's right, just squeeze out of the way.
The two knives scraped out little sparks, and the Cossack's saber was pushed out of its original trajectory.
Ogata's sword, on the other hand, remained unabated, not even deviating from its trajectory. After squeezing the saber away, it slashed straight at the person behind the sword.
laugh!
The sound of a knife cutting through flesh and blood was heard.
The front half of Da Shitian's blade swept directly over the Cossack's chest, cutting half of his chest open.
The horse continued to carry the Cossack forward and passed Ogata.
However, before the horse could run a few steps further, the Cossack on its back fell off the horse like a limp noodle and fell into the snow without making any sound.
The horse continued to run straight forward, minding its own business.
Whoosh!
Ogata took off the Da Shi Zai from his mouth, and then swung Da Shi Tian down hard, and the blood that fell from the sword was scattered like plum blossoms on the snow.
After beheading the Cossack who was about to flee the village, Ogata didn't listen or take a breath, and used the Shiranui-ryu stealth technique to jump up to the nearby low house and continue to look for the Cossack.
Ogata, who was standing on the low roof, quickly moved his eyes to look for the person on the horse.
Cossacks are not difficult to find, just look for the man on horseback.
Um?
At this time, Ogata was suddenly stunned.
Ogata is now located in the northeast corner of the village, and you can see the east and north of the village.
Only then did he realize that there was a group of people on horses to the east of the village.
Although the distance was a bit far away, Ogata could vaguely see a person standing on horseback among the group of people.
And this person has bright red hair.
Scrooge...? What are they doing?
Ogata saw that their group all had guns, and several of them even pointed their guns at the village.
Ogata was just wondering why Skuluch and the others were staying outside the village, but now someone immediately answered Ogata's answer.
Two Cossacks fled from the east side of the village on horseback.
However, as soon as the two men left the village, there was smoke rising from Scrooge and his companions.
Then, the two Cossacks who had just left the village fell off their horses one by one and stopped moving.
Scrooge...is he helping Qina Village...
…
…
"Boss Scrooge!" Avger shouted loudly to Scrooge beside him, "They seem to be starting to run away!"
"Yeah." Scrooge nodded slightly, "I saw it."
Just now, Skulucci looked through the telescope and saw with his own eyes how Ogata single-handedly defeated Vladimir and Alexei.
Then, together with a group of villagers who came suddenly, they stuck the heads of Vladimir and Alexey on spears, and then rushed to other places.
After seeing Ogata successfully kill Vladimir and Alexey, Ogata knew that Vladimir and the others were finished.
Scrooge had never seen a battle in which he could win even though all the generals had been killed.
Sure enough, more and more Vladimir and Alexei's men fled from the village on horseback in panic.
Their panicked appearance made it difficult to imagine that these people were the same group of people who just wantonly killed the villagers of Qina Village.
Some people were so panicked that they didn't even look at the road and fled in the direction where Skulucci and others were.
This kind of behavior of hitting the muzzle of the gun will naturally result in being shot to death by Scrooge and the others.
"Are we going to chase those who fled in other directions?" Avji asked.
"I fucking want to chase them too." Scrooge smiled and shrugged, "But if you can't catch them, just let them escape."
Those who fled in other directions were all riding horses, so even if they rode to catch up, it was unlikely that they could catch up.
"Boss Skulucci..." Avger said to Skulucci in a worried tone, "Let so many people escape... I'm worried that they will report us for attacking our compatriots..."
"Many of those who successfully escaped may have seen you leading us to shoot at them with rifles..."
"What are you afraid of!" Skulucci showed a fearless smile, "With the loss of organization, whether those people can survive in such barren mountains and forests is a question."
"Even if they really survived and complained to us, do they have evidence?"
After saying this, Scrooge sneered with a hint of mockery.
If he was afraid that some survivors would sue him, he would not have taken Avjie and the others to support the villagers of Qina Village.
After ending the brief conversation with Avger, Skulucci continued to observe the situation in the village with his telescope attentively.
When he was looking around with a telescope, he suddenly spotted Ogata.
Ogata happened to see Ogata kill the Cossack who was almost able to leave the village with a sword.
Then I saw Ogata climbing up to the roof to check the situation.
Then he saw Ogata looking towards them, as if he had discovered them.
Through the telescope, he clearly saw Ogata's face facing him, with a look of confusion on his face.
A faint smile appeared on Scrooge's face.
Scrooge put down the telescope in his hand and bowed his head towards Ogata from a distance.
Then he continued to look in the direction of Ogata with a meaningful look.
"Boss Scrooge!"
Avji's voice suddenly sounded again.
"Those guys are basically going to escape. After they escape, what should we do next?"
"What to do?" Scrooge shrugged, "Put your gun back, rein in your horse, and go back to camp."
"Is that it?" Avji's eyes widened.
"Then what do you want?" Scrooge said in a joking tone, "Ride a horse and stride into the village that has just been bullied by a group of our compatriots like a general returning from victory?"
"We have spent a lot of bullets tonight..." Avger muttered, "We are far away in the Far East now, and it is very difficult to supply..."
"It's hard to replenish things like ammunition..."
"We have spent so much effort to help them, so we should exchange something valuable with the Ainu people in that village..."
"There's no rush!" Skulucci smiled, "The Ainu people in this village will definitely be busy treating the injured tonight, and they will definitely not have the time or energy to care about us."
"Go back to camp tonight and have a good sleep. We'll talk about the rest later!"
…
…
Turn back time to now
After telling Chepke concisely and concisely what he had just witnessed, Skulucci leading his people to help Qina Village, Chepke showed a complicated expression.
"Is it true...Is that red-haired white-skinned man really bringing his men to help us..."
Chepke's current expression is so complex that it is difficult to describe it in words.
He couldn't help but recall the not-so-friendly attitude they had towards Skuluch when they met this afternoon. When he recalled this, the expression on Chepke's face became more complicated...
"Village Chief! Village Chief!"
Suddenly, an anxious shout came from not far away, attracting the attention of Chepke and others.
She is a young girl.
The girl rushed to Chepke with an anxious face, and then said to Chepke in a tone that sounded like she was about to cry:
"Village Chief! There are many injured people! We may not have enough medicine! Let's go to other villages for help!"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, the faces of Chepke and others suddenly turned ugly.
…
…
When it comes to killing people, Ogata is a master with both experience and skills.
But when it comes to saving people, Ogata is helpless.
The same is true for Atachi. Both of them have no experience in medicine.
The only medical skill Ogata knows is to apply saliva to wounds.
It is truly a blessing among misfortunes that the village doctor of Qina Village is still alive.
Although they couldn't help much with the treatment, Ogata and Omachi could still help the villagers who were still functioning well to find the injured villagers and carry them to the village doctor.
Ogata and the others... especially Ogata, their current status in the hearts of the villagers in Qina Village is not generally high.
Anyone with any brains knows that the reason why they were able to fight off those white-skinned people was all thanks to the help of this person.
Without the help of Kazuto, those white-skinned men would have held a "celebration banquet" in their village by now, and then wantonly insulted the women of their village.
When they saw Ogata and Atachi helping them to search and carry the injured people, the villagers quickly stopped them, saying that this was not necessary and wanted Ogata and Atachi to have a good rest.
In the imagination of the villagers, Ogata should be very tired now. After all, nearly half of all the white-skinned people who fell to the ground were killed by Ogata.
Faced with the villagers' good intentions, Ogata just smiled and declined.
Although he was indeed a little tired. In the "selfless state", physical strength would be consumed rapidly, but Ogata was not so tired that he could not even move.
Anyway, in Ogata's eyes, helping the villagers search for and carry the injured villagers was just a small thing, so Ogata decided to send Buddha to the west and help out with this small favor.
The number of injured far exceeded Ogata and Chepke's imagination.
It wasn't until the sky became slightly brighter that they finally finished cleaning the entire village.
All the injured were found and transported to the village doctor.
The corpses of the Cossacks were randomly thrown into a pile, with the intention of being cremated afterwards.
As for the dead villagers, their bodies were carefully placed, and then funerals were held for them.
Qina Village is a village with a slightly larger population than Kuma Village.
Even after the "disappearance", there are still 209 villagers in Qina Village.
But after last night's fierce fighting, more than half of the population of Qina Village was killed or injured... 39 people died and 67 were injured.
Although they were victorious, the number of casualties told everyone a cold fact about this bloody and tragic victory.
…
…
Qina Village, injured treatment area
The so-called injured treatment area is actually an open space in the village.
Because there were too many injured, they could only be placed in an open space.
"Uripaxi." Chepke whispered to a middle-aged man in front of him who was squatting next to an injured person and bandaging the injured person, "How is the situation?"
This middle-aged man's name is "Uripashi" and he is the only village doctor in Qina Village.
He is both a village doctor and an excellent hunter.
He also participated in the fierce fight last night.
And he was very lucky to survive without any injuries.
I have to say that this is truly a blessing among misfortunes.
If even Uripashi was seriously injured or died, there would be no one to treat so many injured people.
As soon as Chepke finished speaking, Uripashi had already bandaged the villager in front of him who was wounded by a saber with a clean cloth.
Uripaxi stood up slowly, and then winked at Chepke: Let's go to a place where no one is around.
Chepke, who understood the meaning of Uripashi's eyes, nodded, and then followed Uripashi and walked quickly away from the treatment area.
After walking all the way to a place where no injured patients in the treatment area could see them, and no one else was around, Uripashi sighed heavily.
"Pretty bad..."
"There are too many injured...the medicine stored in the village is simply not enough..."
"And...Chipke, let me tell you the truth."
Uripashi changed into a serious tone.
"I don't know how to treat those wounded by the white men's muskets."
"I've never treated this type of injury before."
"How to remove those round things from the body and what medicine to give them, I have no idea..."
After listening to Uripashi's words quietly, Chepke fell silent.
After a while, he sighed heavily.
He had no intention of blaming Uripashi for not even being able to treat his gunshot wound.
If Uripahi could heal the wound he received from the musket, Chepke would be surprised.
Although they knew what muskets were, they had never been attacked by muskets before.
"...Chepke, should we try to seek help from the people of 'He Ye Zhe'?" Uripaxi said softly, "The people of 'He Ye Zhe' have muskets, and their doctors may know how to treat them.
A man wounded by a musket."
As soon as Uripahi finished speaking, Chepke quickly shook his head.
"No. 'He Ye Zhe' is too far away from us. It will take several days to send people to ask for their doctors, even by dog sled."
"And the muskets used by the people of 'Heye Zhe' are also very different from the muskets used by the white-skinned people."
"I don't think their doctors will be able to treat the wounded who were injured by the muskets of those white-skinned people..."
Speaking of this, Chepke sighed heavily again.
"I have sent people to ask for medicine and doctors from villages that are closer to us and have better relations with our Qina Village."
"Uripashi, please continue to do your best to focus on treating the injured."
"I'll figure out a way to solve the rest..."
"Yes." Uripashi nodded lightly, and then quickly returned to the treatment area.
And Chepke quickly left from where he was.
Before he had gone far, Chepke saw a one-armed middle-aged man walking towards him.
"Manakor. How is the situation?" Czepke asked.
Manaker can be regarded as one of Chepke's right-hand men.
After the battle ended last night, Chepke sent Manakor to manage and liberate the villagers who died in the fierce battle last night.
Facing the question posed by Chepke, Manakor nodded slightly:
"I put the bodies in the house."
"Enough to fill 4 rooms..."
After that, Manakor and Chepke walked side by side.
"It's so miserable..."
Manakor lamented in a sad tone.
"Why do we always suffer from such unreasonable disasters..."
"Yeah..." Chepke lowered his head, "Why do such unreasonable disasters always happen to us..."
First there was the "disappearance", and now there is another "attack by white-skinned people".
The previous "disappearances" have reduced the number of young and strong men in their village.
And now a large number of villagers have been killed and injured...
"There are already very few young men in our village..." Manakor said with a wry smile, "Now there are a lot more casualties..."
"With so many men missing... I really don't know how people in other villages will treat us..."
Among the Ainu people, who are still in primitive tribalism, population is everything.
Basically, the more young men a tribe has, the richer and more powerful it is and vice versa.
Villages with few young men are often bullied and looked down upon by people from other villages.
Although many women in their Qina Village have picked up bows and arrows and done the work that should have been done by men, women's physical strength and strength are still no match for men.
"Chepke, I've done the math." Manaker continued, "Now there are only 41 men between the ages of 14 and 40 left alive in our village..."
"This also includes those who were injured last night and are still waiting for treatment."
"If some of them are not rescued and die, this number will continue to decrease..."
"If we don't want other villages or people to look down on us and bully us, we must find a way to increase the number of young men in our village..."
"I know..." Chepke couldn't remember how many times he sighed.
After sighing, Chepke stopped where he was.
He lowered his head and looked thoughtful.
I just don’t know what I’m thinking about.
"village head!"
At this time, Chepke suddenly heard a loud young male voice.
Chepke followed the sound and saw that it was Ayaka.
Ayaka walked quickly towards Chepuk.
"Village Chief, I finally found you." Aiyaka said quickly, "It's dawn now, and I plan to leave now."
"I will return to Kuma Village as soon as possible and bring back the village doctor of our Kuma Village."
"I'll probably be back this evening."
Last night, when he learned that there were too many injured people in Qina Village and there was not enough medicine, Aiyaka, who was born in Kuma Village and had good relations with Qina Village, agreed to Chepke without hesitation:
After dawn tomorrow, he will return to Kuma Village as soon as possible to bring back the medicine and village doctor from their Kuma Village.
Seeing that Aiyaka came to say goodbye to them, Chepke nodded vigorously with a moved face.
"Thank you, Ayaka."
"Well. Then, village chief, I'll leave first."
After that, Aiyaka turned around and prepared to stride away, returning to Kuma Village alone on a dog sled.
However, as soon as he turned around, Chepke suddenly called out to him.
"By the way, Ayaka. I have a question for you."
"Huh? What's the problem?"
"What's the relationship between Majima and that girl named Amachi?"
"Village chief, why are you asking this?" Aiyaka asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious."
"They are husband and wife." Ayaka replied.
…
…
Chepke only asked this question and let Aiyaka leave.
Watching Aiyaka leave, Chepke pursed his lips.
Then he asked Manarker abruptly:
"Manakle...I just thought of it."
"I want other villages or other people to look down on us and bully us. In addition to increasing the number of young men."
"We can also try to get some very powerful young men to become members of our village..."
"For example...that Majima..."
