"Chapter 69: Into the Interior"
It's not that you want to tear off other people's masks. If they like to live in lies, that's their choice. You don't need to change anyone in this world, it's enough if you can grow yourself.
- Osho (Founder of Rajnesh Ashram)
Yoshiki Yamashita, who hurriedly returned to Naoki Yoshikawa's side, reported in a respectful tone: "Captain, Nishimura-kun and I have taken control of a family in this settlement, and in the name of this family's blood relatives, we have investigated the situation of this settlement. ”
"Yoxi, you're doing a great job!" After nodding in approval, Naoki Yoshikawa asked Yoshiki Yamashita, "Then what valuable things can you find in this settlement?"
"Captain, this is a small settlement with a total population of about three thousand, and all the young and strong men who can be called warriors add up to only five hundred, and there is nothing of value at all, and even the food stored in each household is not enough for two months. ”
"That's ......" Naoki Yoshikawa, who frowned slightly, pondered for a while before instructing Yamashita Yoshiki: "Yamashita-kun, you should immediately return to the settlement with four spies, and then tell the leader of this settlement that there will soon be an enemy attacking their settlement." ”
Yamashita Yoki, who was already extremely clever, rolled his eyes, and then comprehended: "Captain, you mean, we will first tell them the news of the attack, and then create a fake attack in exchange for their trust?"
"No, Yamashita-kun, this way of deceiving the other party's trust is certainly useful, but we don't have that much time to waste. Yoshikawa Naoki shook his head and denied: "We will control this settlement overnight and let the barbarian warriors here be used by us!"
"Team...... Captain, do you mean to control this stronghold overnight?!" Yamashita, who was shocked beyond comprehension, was stunned and worried: "But Captain, why do we control this stronghold? There are a full five hundred barbarian warriors here!"
Different from Yamashita Yoshiki's confusion, Naoki Yoshikawa, who was confident, said confidently: "If we can't even control five hundred brainless and reckless people, then why can our seventh squad outperform the other squads and win the first credit for this infiltration sabotage operation?"
"This ......" Before the speechless Yamashita Yoshiki continued, Natsukawa Heigong, who had been sent out by Naoki Yoshikawa to hunt before, had already returned with several large beasts and said, "Captain, we hunted four wild leopards and two wild tigers, as well as a wild bear. ”
"Well, you put the beast carcass here and go down to rest. After nodding casually, Naoki Yoshikawa turned his head and continued to Yoki Yamashita: "These seven beast corpses, when you go back to the settlement, you bring them back, and you say that you came out to hunt them yourself. ”
"With the barbarian worship of the strong and hospitable, if you offer these seven beasts as a gift to their chief, you will surely become their guests, and be warmly entertained by them, and gain the friendship of their chief. ”
"When the time comes, you only need to tell the news that there are nearby settlements that are secretly controlled by the enemy tonight and will send people to attack them, and whether they believe it or not, you will not be questioned by them, after all, you are their honored guests. ”
"When night falls, I will personally lead Xia Chuan Pinggong and them to sneak into the settlement to kill people and set fires, and at that time, you should try to stand on a high place, gather the panicked barbarian youth, and lead them to fight the fire and rescue the trapped and injured. ”
Hearing this, Yamashita Yangxi, who was already in chaos in his mind, asked with a confused face: "Captain, since you personally launched the attack, why didn't we secretly assist you in creating chaos, but instead help the panicked barbarian Qingzhuang to extinguish the fire?"
"Because with only ten of us ninjas and five spies, it is impossible to control this settlement by force, and if it is really a hard fight, not to mention five hundred barbarian warriors, even a hundred barbarian warriors, can surround and kill us. ”
"Therefore, we must use special means and wisdom to control the fighters in this settlement and guide them to attack other nearby Luxi settlements, so that our sabotage mission can be carried out more thoroughly!"
"But, captain, with the leader of their settlement, can we control the barbarian warriors here?" Yoshiki Yamashita, who understood Naoki Yoshikawa's meaning, said helplessly: "If their leader confronts the leaders of other settlements, it will be exposed." ”
"Didn't I just say that in the midst of the chaos, you should climb high and gather the young and strong, rescue the trapped and wounded, and establish your prestige in the settlement. Naoki Yoshikawa said angrily: "As for their leader, I will let Natsukawa-kun assassinate him." ”
"It's up to you to do everything you can to gather the barbarian youth, Nishimura-kun's side, you ask him to bring two ninjas to the settlement leader to help, once Xia Chuan-kun fails to assassinate the settlement leader, Nishimura-kun will lead someone to mend the knife, and be sure to kill him while he is in chaos!"
"Hey!" Yamashita Yoki, who was in his heart, hurriedly responded: "I must convey the captain's order to Nishimura-kun!"
"Well, you should hurry back to the settlement with the carcasses of these beasts. Before Yamashita was about to leave, Naoki Yoshikawa instructed him again, "You only have one afternoon to gain the trust of the leader of the settlement and his warriors, so please hurry!"
Yamashita Yoki solemnly promised: "Please rest assured, captain, we will do our best to live up to the expectations of the captain and the lord!"
After seeing Yamashita Yoki leave with four spies and seven beast corpses, Naoki Yoshikawa walked up to Natsukawa Heigong, who was still on guard, and instructed him: "Natsukawa-kun, tonight we are going to attack this settlement at night, now go find a hidden place to rest." ”
"Hey!" Natsukawa Heigong, who was undoubtedly undoubted, immediately took the three ninjas and went to find a hidden resting spot.
Returning to the settlement, Yamashita Yangxi did not sneak into the settlement quietly, but took the four spies under his command to the door of the settlement with great fanfare, and for the barbarian people in the settlement, those who can hunt so many beasts are heroes!
Yamashita Yoki, who had been treated like a hero, gave all the seven beasts he had hunted to the leader of the settlement in front of everyone, and the leader who received this heavy gift was even happier with the respect of Yamashita Yoki and others, which came from the respect and respect of the hero.
The leader of the settlement, who was very excited, naturally had a good impression of Yamashita Yoki and the others, and not only invited them to his house for lunch, but also held a bonfire party for them in the evening with the beasts that had been hit.
The bonfire, a small settlement, is a rare event once a year, and the cheering people of the settlement begin to prepare all kinds of ingredients and drinks for the bonfire while singing and dancing.
Even in the barbarian settlements with extremely poor supplies, there will be some small reserves of wine and scarce varieties of meat, and there is a bonfire party tonight, and all these small stocks of wine and meat have been taken out, who makes the barbarians naturally hospitable.
In order to cater to the lively atmosphere in the settlement, Nishimura Jun, who was hidden in the house of the person who had been controlled, also led his four ninjas to participate in the busy preparation of the bonfire party with the barbarian people.
