Chapter 524: One person, two swords and two guns, alone in the barracks of the 3000 army (final)
Atachi felt that he was being supported and tried to open his eyes.
After opening her eyes, the first thing that caught her eye was the face of someone who was very familiar to her and also very important.
"Can you still move your hands? Press this with your hands to stop the bleeding." The person said in a calm tone.
Afterwards, this person took off the scarf from his neck, used the scarf as a bandage, and tied it to A-Machi's wound, providing temporary treatment to A-Machi's injury.
"Hello!"
At this time, Mogami's roar sounded fiercely.
"Who are you? Are you the guy who killed nearly 30 of my subordinates?"
Without Mogami's special order, the subordinates beside him raised their spears, pointed their sharp spear points at the samurai who suddenly appeared, and surrounded the samurai in a semicircular formation.
The samurai turned a blind eye to Mogami's roar and the encirclement of these generals, concentrating on making a temporary bandage for Atachi's wound.
"My luck has been really good recently." Mogami sneered, "I didn't expect that another person who might have important information would show up so soon. Hey! You guy... um...? Your
Face……?"
Only half of Mogami's somewhat arrogant shout was uttered, and his arrogant shout was replaced by a question full of surprise.
Because it was only at this moment that Mogami noticed the face of this guy who suddenly appeared... He seemed to have seen it somewhere before...
But for a moment, he couldn't remember where he had seen this face.
While Mogami was thinking hard about where he had seen this face before, the samurai had already bandaged Atachi's wound.
After finishing the bandage, the samurai held his sword, slowly stood up and turned, facing the top men who were surrounding them in a semicircular formation.
Atachi raised her hand to cover the wound that had been simply bandaged, and looked at the back of the samurai who stood between her and the Mogami, who was now facing the Mogami and them with a sword, and his pale lips moved:
"Ayi..."
He whispered his loving name to this warrior.
Neither Omachi nor Mojima heard a single sound at this time.
Because this voice sounded in that warrior's mind.
[Ding! The host enters the realm of selflessness!]
At the same time as the voice that only the young samurai could hear fell, Mogami let out a scream:
"Ahhhh!" Mogami's face was now filled with shock and a touch of fear.
Because Mogami finally remembered just now.
I remembered when I had seen this face.
I remembered who this person was.
After remembering this person's name, fear gripped and wrapped his entire body like a big hand.
Mogami didn't have much time to savor this fear.
Because the samurai rushed towards them with a sword.
…
…
The dense system sound unique to entering the "selfless state" exploded in Ogata's mind.
Ogata's state of mind quickly changed into the state of "nothing in the heart" that is unique to the "state of no-self".
Just now, after hearing Omachi's shout, Ogon rushed out of the hunting lodge without caring about anything and rushed in the direction of the sound.
What happened next... there is nothing to describe in detail.
When Ogata got to the distance where his eyes could see A-Machi, he happened to see Mogami nailing A-Machi to the tree with a spear...
I happened to hear Mogami’s words, “Take her away! After tearing off a few of her fingers, I’ll see if her mouth is still strong enough!”
After seeing this scene and hearing these words, there is no need to say more.
What should be done now is very clear.
At this moment, Ogata's mind, which had calmed down after entering the "state of no-self", had only one thought:
Draw the sword.
As if teleporting, Ogata, who was originally standing a few steps away, just made a mistake in his steps and teleported to the soldier closest to him.
With his left hand, he restrained the soldier's spear who was completely unresponsive. Luck twisted his waist and slashed forward horizontally.
Sakakihara Itto-ryu·Ryuubi.
After the sword flashed across the soldier's throat, it continued unabated and cut open the throat of the other soldier on the right. Killing two people with one sword.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
A soldier on Ogata's left side finally reacted and screamed while subconsciously stabbing Ogata with his gun.
Ogata used his left foot as an axis and turned half a circle to avoid the spear, and a horizontal sword light appeared again.
Dragon Tail·Dodge.
"Quick! Surround him! Kill him! Kill him! Archers and iron gunners are ready!" Mogami screamed.
The scream in Mogami still has some use.
After hearing Mogami's scream, all the soldiers calmed down and followed Mogami's order to surround Ogata. As for the archers and iron gunners, they were also preparing to shoot.
The four soldiers mustered up their courage and surrounded Ogata from four directions.
These four soldiers stood at Ogata's four positions and attacked Ogata from four directions.
He was attacked from four directions, and one of the attacks came from a position that he couldn't see. No matter how he thought about it, he would feel that the person who was surrounded by them was in danger. These four generals surrounded Ogata.
That's what the soldiers living there thought.
With the idea of "stabbing this guy to death soon", these four people drew their guns and stabbed Ogata.
Facing the situation where he was surrounded, Ogata's expression remained as usual, and he just silently pulled out the Great Freedom.
The expressions of the four soldiers who originally thought they would stab Ogata to death quickly changed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Because they were surprised to find that no matter how hard they stabbed, they could not hit Ogata's body.
From the beginning of the fight, Ogata's feet seemed to be glued to the ground and he did not take a step back.
The Blade, who had already reached the Grandmaster level and was further strengthened in the "Selfless Realm", now shines brightly.
Ogata swung the sword, swung it away, and rebounded. The sword in his hand danced so tightly that an invisible protective shield was formed around his body, which withstood all attacks and blocked all attacks coming towards him.
Isolated from this protective shield.
Whenever the guns of these four soldiers were about to pierce Ogata's body, Ogata's sword could intercept their gun heads first, even if the attack came from Ogata's rear.
After once again deflecting a spearhead that was almost piercing his chest, Ogata, with a slight glint in his eyes, made a wrong step and used step steps to quickly intersect into the formation of the four soldiers.
Unlike samurai who are accustomed to using "dojo swords" who like to shout loudly when attacking enemies with their swords, Ogata has never had the habit of shouting loudly when attacking enemies.
Ogata silently broke through the encircling formation formed by the four soldiers, and dodged under the guns of the four soldiers, leaving only four rays of sword light behind him.
The sword light and blood flew together.
Ogata didn't even look behind him. He held two bloody swords in his hands and faced Mogami and the other soldiers. The four soldiers behind him fell to the ground one after another.
The system's beep sounded four times in Ogata's mind.
Whoosh!
The sound of liquid falling to the ground was heard.
Ogata suddenly waved the two swords in his hands, and the blood attached to the swords fell to the ground, turning into dots of plum blossoms on the snow.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
"Ah...hey, who is this person...?"
"Wait... this person's face... I seem to have seen it somewhere..."
Looking at Ogata who looked like a ghost or a god, the morale of the surviving soldiers dropped rapidly like an avalanche.
At the same time, some soldiers realized belatedly and began to realize that they seemed to have seen the warrior in front of them somewhere before...
As for Mogami, who had recognized Ogata a long time ago, now he only felt that the big hand named "Fear" that was holding his body tightened.
Why...why is Ogata Ittousai here?!
Mogami screamed loudly in his heart.
After Ogata heard Omachi's shouting, he rushed to the place where the sound came from as if it was a conditioned reflex.
Because Ogata was in a hurry to find out what happened, he didn't have time to slowly put his human skin mask back on.
So Ogata is not wearing a human skin mask now.
His current face is not Majima Goro's face.
But his original face, the face of the executioner Ittosai!
After tearing a gap in the semicircular formation formed by the top men, Ogata didn't take any pause.
After shaking off the blood attached to the twin swords, Ogata turned into an afterimage again and rushed straight towards Mogami.
Along the way, all the soldiers who stood in front of Ogata were killed by Ogata with a single blow.
Killing one person in one step is Ogata's current state.
No one can stop Ogata's attack, not even a knife.
No one can hold back Ogata, not even a little bit.
The soldiers standing between him and Mogami were melting away bit by bit like snow in a raging fire.
Finally, Ogata reached Mogami. He was only 3 steps away from Mogami.
"Come on, come on!"
Just now, when he saw Ogata heading straight towards him, Mogami had the urge to run away.
But the dignity of being a warrior was at work at this moment.
Reason told him to run away.
But the dignity of a warrior controlled his feet, making it difficult for him to move even half a step.
In the end, it was the education instilled in him from childhood, and the dignity of the samurai that prevailed.
He would rather die in battle than run away and lose his reputation.
"Come on!!" Mogami shouted boldly again, "Let you see the martial prowess of the 'Senju Seven Spears'! Also, let me see how powerful Ittousai's sword is!"
Ogata's reaction to Mogami's powerful and heroic shout was very dull.
The expression on his face was still expressionless.
He didn't say anything to Mogami either.
Just silently, he took out his flintlock gun Mei Ran from his arms and pointed the muzzle at the uppermost chest in front of him.
Ogata has countless "plans" on how to kill Mogami.
But in order to allow Mogami to see Amaterasu as quickly as possible, and in order to let Mogami feel as much pain as possible, Ogata decided to use the simplest and most convenient method to draw the gun.
The pain of being shot and having the bullet lodged in the body cannot be compared to the pain of being slashed.
Shoot him first to knock him out of combat, and then rush in to make up for it. This is Ogata's plan.
Mogami's armor is very thick, and Kasumi Nagi, who lacks power, may not be able to break through the armor.
So Ogata decided to use the most powerful plum dye.
Looking at the black muzzle of Mei Ran's gun, Mogami was startled, and then he quickly swung the scythe in his hand.
boom!
Click!
Bang!
The sound of gunshots, the sound of something breaking, and the sound of something shattering sounded almost simultaneously.
Mogami's katana gun, which he placed across his chest in time, blocked Mei Ran's bullet.
The bullet broke the barrel of the scythe gun, then continued to fly forward, hitting the top breastplate and exploding into pieces of the armor.
"Pfft! Cough cough..." Mogami felt his hands and feet were weak, unable to hold the sickle gun that had been broken into two parts. At the same time, he felt a sweetness in his throat, and blood came out of his throat.
Ogata didn't expect to kill Mogami with one shot.
After causing Mogami to lose his fighting ability, Ogata stuffed Umeizen back into his arms and prepared to give Mogami a stabbing blow in front of him.
But at this moment, Ogata heard strange noises coming from his side.
Ogata heard it: it was the vibration of the bowstring and the sound of the firing of the musket.
Like a conditioned reflex, the thread jumps back.
After jumping back, 10 arrows were inserted into the position where he just stood.
In addition, where Ogata was standing just now, there were three more small black holes made by bullets.
Ogata looked in the direction where the arrow had just been shot and saw only 10 soldiers holding bows and arrows.
In addition to these 10 archers, Ogata also saw three half-crouching soldiers holding matchlock guns.
The three musketeers are now hurriedly reloading the muskets in their hands.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! Archers, iron gunners cover!"
At this time, Mogami's lieutenant general Sakaguchi finally couldn't stand this one-sided defeat and shouted the order to retreat on behalf of the injured Mogami.
"Quick! Take Mogami-sama away quickly! Take Mogami-sama back to the camp for treatment! You guys will cover Mogami-sama's departure!"
He directed the surrounding soldiers to lift Mogami up, take him away, and carry Mogami onto the back of Mogami's horse.
"Hey." Ogata finally said his first words to Mogami and the others after appearing until now, "Where are you going?"
After saying that, Ogata rushed towards Mogami in front of him again.
"No, don't be afraid! Stop this guy! Cover him and leave!" Sakaguchi directed the soldiers to cover.
Several brave soldiers, under the command of Sakaguchi, stood between Ogata and Mogami.
Although these soldiers are not Ogata's enemies, it will take some time to kill them one by one in the face of their desperate obstruction.
When Ogata finally cut down the soldiers blocking him one by one, the injured Mogami had been dragged onto the back of his horse, and then disappeared into the snow under the cover of several soldiers.
Looking at the direction in which Mogami had successfully escaped, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly. His face, which had been expressionless since the beginning of the battle, finally changed slightly and became a bit more gloomy.
After looking meaningfully at the direction Mogami left for several times, Ogata slowly turned his gaze and looked at Sakaguchi, who was not far away from him and had not yet left.
"Quickly retreat! Quickly retreat!"
After seeing Mogami's evacuation successfully covered, Sakaguchi breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to evacuate.
Sakaguchi hurriedly climbed onto the back of his horse.
But as soon as he climbed onto the back of the war horse, a soldier next to him screamed in horror:
"Sir, sir! That guy is coming!"
Sakaguchi panicked and looked in the direction of Ogata. Ogata, who had already been killed and covered in blood, was heading towards him.
The morale of the soldiers is now on the verge of collapse.
There are only a few soldiers who dare to stop Ogata anymore.
More and more soldiers screamed and left this Shura Hell, and more and more soldiers began to flee.
Sakaguchi was so frightened that he screamed, kicked the horse's belly with his heel, and prepared to ride away.
However, before the horse under his crotch had gone a few steps, Sakaguchi heard four consecutive gunshots.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
This is the sound of Kasumi Nagi's bullet being fired.
After seeing that he was still a few steps away from Sakaguchi and that Sakaguchi was already preparing to escape on horseback, Ogata did not hesitate at all. He quickly took out the unfired Kasumi Nagi, pointed it at the horse under Sakaguchi's crotch, and fired it all in one go.
Killed all the bullets in Kasumi Nagi's gun chamber.
"Hui Hui Hui Hui...!"
The horse under Sakaguchi's crotch let out a series of mournful screams, and then fell heavily to the ground.
As soon as the horses' cries ended, Sakaguchi's screams immediately followed because the fallen horse directly pinned Sakaguchi beneath him.
The surrounding soldiers all witnessed Sakaguchi falling to the ground.
The sound of gunfire, the sound of Sakaguchi's landing, and the sight of Sakaguchi falling to the ground finally caused the morale of the remaining soldiers to collapse.
The remaining soldiers who had not fled directly all fled. The ordinary soldiers, the archers and iron gunners who were originally responsible for sniping Ogata, all lost their will to fight.
Only a few soldiers were left who were still unwilling to give up their "samurai's dignity".
These soldiers are commendable for their courage, but their spiritual strength cannot bridge the gap in strength.
After cutting down the soldiers who rushed up and made a suicidal charge, Ogata held up his two swords with red blades stained with blood and walked slowly towards Sakaguchi, who was struggling to get away from the fallen horse.
Here, only Ogata, Atachi, Sakaguchi, and corpses are left...
As soon as Sakaguchi took his legs out from under the dead horse, he felt the light behind him dim.
He raised his eyes and looked back, and saw Ogata standing behind him expressionlessly, looking down at him.
"Hey!" Sakaguchi subconsciously let out a scream filled with fear, "Please, please let me go..."
He is different from the kind of person who values the dignity of a samurai very seriously.
At this moment, Sakaguchi's desire to survive overwhelmed all other thoughts.
Ogata looked down at Sakaguchi who was begging for mercy...
After a while, Ogata quietly asked Sakaguchi:
"You just said you would send me back to the camp...is that camp...your camp?"
Although Sakaguchi didn't know why Ogata suddenly asked this, he still nodded hastily.
"Then you should know how to get to your camp, right?"
Sakaguchi nodded hastily again.
Looking at Sakaguchi who kept nodding, Ogata's eyes narrowed slightly.
