Once again, he stepped on the vast grassland, but Asdidaka's mood was completely different from what he had been. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If I used to come with hope, now I am leaving with pain.

Before I knew it, the steppe was covered with fog, and little by little raindrops fell on Ashidaka's face.

The droplets of water slipped and fell on Ashidaka's lips, and Ashidaka tasted it, filled with a bitter nitrate taste.

After a while, it began to rain in the sky, and as the rain fell on her coat, Asdidaka pulled her hood down slightly.

The smell of the rain was different from usual, and the strong smell of nitric acid and gunpowder irritated Ashidaka's nose.

[War has already begun over there......]

Asidaka clenched his fists and let go again.

A gust of wind blew, the fog was blown away, and the brief sun rain stopped.

[Can't do anything......? 】

A shrill boar's scream stabbed at Asidaka from a distance.

Ashidaka's pupils shrank, and the image of the war flashed through his mind.

Countless wild boars were blown away, and corpses were scattered everywhere.

And...... The figure who rode the white wolf and the wild boar herd towards the people, that figure......

"Shan......!"

Aklu tried to keep going, but the reins were pulled.

The reins that controlled Arklu were pulled by an expanding right hand.

“…… To go back, I can do it. "Ashidaka turned the reins and turned Yaklu around.

It is not the ridiculous sense of justice that governs Ashidaka's unscrupulous actions now, but another inexplicable emotion.

To go back.

Asidaka only knew that if he left at this moment, then it would be impossible for him to come back.

When the time comes, everything will be irreparable.

Just as Ashidaka was about to return along the way, an abrupt but familiar voice suddenly sounded from the empty grassland.

"Bastard, looks like you've figured it out." Jiukong Xun laughed and clapped his hands at Asidaka: "Good job." ”

Asidaka, who turned his head, immediately shouted in surprise, "Mr. Smoke! ”

"It looks like it's going to be tough, but it's good to figure it out." Jiukong Xun patted Ashitaka's shoulder and laughed: "Fool around like a bastard, don't think so much." Laugh even if you're near-dead! ”

"Mr. Smoke, what should I do......"

"That's it! Let it go! ”

Jiukong Xun took out the black knife and waved it a few times, and swiped it at Asidakabi a few times: "Actually, I came to say goodbye to you this time, and I am going to do a great deed!" I may not see you again, so you have to take care. ”

"By the way, if you want to start messing around, I think you should look east."

Asidaka looked in the direction of the Nine Sky Smokers, and the outline of the Iron Fort loomed in the fog.

"Wait...... Isn't that right? Feeling the faint noise, Ashidaka's face changed.

"That city seems to be under attack by some samurai, will you go and see it?" Jiukong Xun slapped Ashidaka's back hard with a finger, and then disappeared into the mist with the black knife on his shoulder: "Good luck." “

Jiukong Xun's seemingly unintentional action made Asshidaka feel extremely painful.

It's not that the force of the Nine Sky Smoke slap is, but ......

A cold sweat broke out on Ashidaka's forehead.

Nacob's curse had begun to spread to his back, and he would soon climb up the back of Ashidaka's heart.

Once Ashitaka's heart is spread by the curse, then ......

"Time is running out......

[Anyway, let's go and see what happened to the Iron Castle first......]

Asidaka urged Arklu and ran in the direction of the Iron Castle.

The closer you get to the Iron Keep, the more Ashitaka can see. Smoke continued to rise from above the Iron Fort, and the sound of a loud explosion was caused by a stone fire bolt.

"Has it already begun? Damn it! Asidaka came to the other side of the river, looking at the sudden battle of the iron-smelting fort, and subconsciously urged Yaklu to run.

An iron arrow suddenly shot under Akru's hooves.

"Over there! Who is this kid! When the armored warriors in ambush by the river spotted Ashidaka, they raised their weapons and pointed at Ashidaka and asked aloud.

Asidaka gritted his teeth: "Samurai! ”

Taking advantage of the moment when the armored samurai shouted loudly, Asidaka immediately drew his machete and drove Yaklu towards the samurai who took the lead!

"It turned out to be a guy from the Iron Castle! Shoot an arrow at him! The armored warrior picked up his naginata and slashed at the attacking Asidaka.

Asidaka jerks the reins! Arklu will leap up in understanding!

"What!" "This guy!" "Kill him!"

The strong leg strength of the impala was fully displayed at this moment, and the leaping Yaklu jumped over the heads of the samurai like a bird, and fell into the lake in a perfect arc!

Ashidaka and Yaklu, who had fallen into the river, immediately sank to the bottom of the water, and Yaklu consciously danced on all four hooves and swam up in the river.

Akru only lifted Ashitaka's head and hands, as well as his conscious head, slightly out of the water, and swam unhurriedly towards the distant Iron Castle.

"Swim up!" The armored warrior looked at the slightly exposed Asidaka in disbelief, and immediately ordered his men, "Shoot arrows at them!" Fast! ”

Hearing this, the soldiers took aim at Ashidaka with their bows and arrows.

A cold wind blew behind Ashidaka's head, and he subconsciously used his knife to cut off the sneak attack arrow. A vigilant Ashidaka looked behind him, his machete rack ready in front of him.

"Blocked! Do you still want to shoot arrows? The soldier asked the armored samurai in shock.

The armored samurai touched his chin and looked at Asidaka, who was fading away.

Finally, the armored warrior shook his head and vetoed, "Forget it, this is just a waste of arrows, don't do useless work." ”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Asidaka led Yaklu through the Great Lake to the Iron Castle, where the corpses of various people floated on the water, and large swaths of blood had begun to contaminate the original lake.

Asedaka, who had struggled to approach the Iron Fort, endured the violent smell of blood and shouted at the people guarding the city walls, "Is there anyone! ”

When they heard the shouting, they looked down and were all shocked when they saw Ashidaka.

"It is! Ashidaka-kun! "It can't be a ghost!" "It's him! He's back! ”

"Hours! How is the situation of the Iron Fort now! Asidaka soaked in the lake and shouted to the hour on the wall.

Xiao coughed, cleared his throat and replied loudly to Ashidaka, "It sucks! Most of the people followed the Black Hat-sama to fight, and the woman was attacked by the Asano army here! A lot of people died! ”

"Lord Black Hat! Where did she go? ”

"Lord Black Hat is leading the men and horses to hunt the Mountain Beast God! We are under siege and we can't make a move to inform her! ”

[Could it be ......! The noise just now was caused by the army of black hats! 】

At this moment, Koroku suddenly appeared with the longbow that Asshidaka was carrying before, and Koroku shouted excitedly at Asdidaka with a longbow and arrow barrel: "Hey! Little brother! That's when you fell before the thing! ”

"Stupid! Why don't you bring the hat and the coat together! Xiao punched the excited Koroku on the head.

"Don't you have that time...... "Koroku grumbled as he rolled his longbow around the quiver and threw it at Asidaka, taking another punch in between.

Asidaka grabbed the longbow and said gratefully, "Thank you!" Jialiu! I'm going to go to Lord Blackhat now and tell her about the attack on the Iron Castle. You must hold on! ”

"Don't worry! I'll pour the hot iron pulp if necessary! If these guys dare to climb the wall, we'll burn them to death! Koroku waved at Asidaka and shouted, "Be careful! Little brother! ”

A gap appeared in the wall, and two stone and fire bolts protruded from the gap.

There was a deafening bang, and several boats not far from Asshidaka were sunk. The wounded looked at Asidaka through the gap and encouraged: "Although we are wounded, we also have to fight!" Go find Lord Black Hat, little brother, you must take care! ”

As he spoke, the wounded man raised the stone fire bolt and fired it into the distance: "The enemy's ship is coming!" Hurry up and get out! ”

Asidaka placed his bow sideways again and wound it with his bare hands. While cutting off the flying arrows.

Finally, Ashidaka rode up the Ark Road and sped away from the Ironkeeping.

【By all means...... It's going to stop all this! 】

Asidaka, once again engaged in the battle.
