Shiro Kasawara has been extremely concerned about the sudden appearance of these bandit forces in the Mutsu area recently.

There is no way, the entire "division of bandit forces" in the Mutsu region before was basically formed. In the Tsugaru region, the Iwaki clan was the main bandit force, while the central and eastern regions of Mutsu were the sphere of influence of the Hatta Koshi.

But now more than a dozen unknown bandit forces, large and small, have suddenly emerged, and their strength is quite good! Judging from the situation that Shiro Kasawara has mastered, among these bandit forces, there are at least dozens of bandits in the weakest night, and there are even hundreds, or even hundreds, of the stronger ones!

In this way, it invisibly threatens the position of Hatta Koshi.

Most of these bandit attacks have occurred in the Tsugaru area before, and this only threatens the Iwaki people, so Shiro Kasahara doesn't have any other thoughts about it! But recently, the places attacked by these bandit forces have begun to spread outward, and the territory of the Hatta armor has been "touched" by these bandits! This made Shiro Kasawara unacceptable.

However, before figuring out where these bandits came from, how many people there were, and whether these bandits, large and small, were the same bandit force, Shiro Kasahara knew that he must not act rashly.

Moreover, these bandit forces are not ordinary Chinese people or other bandits, but go directly to the Tsugawa family and the Oura family, and even some other countrymen will be affected sometimes.

You know, even Hatta Kozana wouldn't dare to do these things so blatantly. Although the Hatta clan had also raided villages such as the Nanbu family, the Ando family, or the Nanzuoka family before, most of them were petty fights, and sometimes they even went to the village to wander around, scaring these villagers into collecting some food and leaving!

But now these bandits, resolutely look like they are not afraid of the sky and the earth, and directly show that they are not afraid, if there is no support behind this, Kasawara Shiro himself refuses to believe it.

In this way, it is even more imperative for these bandits to act rashly. This time, he called several powerful bandits under his command to discuss countermeasures, but these bandits not only did not help, but even some of them did not help, which made Kasawara Shiro very speechless.

"Just imagine, these bandits appeared suddenly, and we Hatta Kozan and even some other bandits in the Mutsu area have not found any signs of bandits from other places migrating to the Mutsu area, so it means that these bandits may be the locals of our Mutsu area."

"However, there are only Iwaki people in the Mutsu area except for us, so it's impossible for so many bandits to come out." One of the bandits said suspiciously.

"Not bad!" Shiro Kasawara nodded, "So, there's only one possibility, these bandits are bandits in disguise!" ”

"Pretend?" Hearing Shiro Kasawara's words, the other bandits in the hall all looked like they had seen a ghost, "Chief, this is a bit unbelievable, what is the benefit of pretending to be a bandit for these people?" ”

"The benefits? It doesn't seem like it, but if you think about it deeply, you can see that the advantage of this is that it can disguise their true identity and facilitate their actions! They even have other conspiracies in the future, all of which are just to disrupt the situation in the Mutsu area, so that they can take advantage of it! Shiro Kasahara said with a gleam in his eyes.

"The leader seems to have a point, huh?"

"Yes, I think the leader is right!"

"The leader is worthy of being the leader, and the brain is good ........"

Regardless of whether they understood Shiro Kasawara's words or not, the thieves in the temple began to praise one after another.

Looking at the bandits who kept catering to him, Shiro Kasahara sighed secretly, a sense of powerlessness and frustration arose, and then he thought of his current situation, which was really different from his goal back then!

Shiro Kasawara is not from the Mutsu region, or even from the Mutsu country, but from the Kasawara family, a native of Dewa Kawabe County, and in terms of blood relationship, it can be regarded as the origin of the Kasawara family. The Kasawara family was also a samurai family with hundreds of stone knowledge of Xingdi before, and they were retainers of the Toshima family. However, when Shiro Kasawara's uncle (the head of the Kasawara family) followed the head of the Toshima family, Toshima Shigemasa, to fight with him, he accidentally killed another retainer of the Toshima family.

This samurai who was killed by mistake was a retainer of the Toshima family tree and the lord of Karamatsu Castle, so the Kasawara family suffered the heavy punishment of Toshima Shigemasa!

The Kasawara family's Zhixing Land was confiscated, the head of the Kasawara family was also ordered to seppuku, and samurai such as Kasawara Shiro were also deposed as samurai and became ronin. It wasn't until later that he came to the Mutsu area, and joined the Hatta Armor in desperation, and slowly after more than ten years of hard work, he finally became the leader of the Hatta Armor.

However, after all, Kasawara Shiro was born as a samurai, and he has always wanted to revitalize the family name of the Kasawara family, but unfortunately there is no force willing to accept Kasawara Shiro, and the other bandits of the Hatta armor will not agree to this, so Kasawara Shiro has to gradually break off some thoughts.

Looking at the group of bandits around him who didn't know how to pretend to understand, Shiro Kasahara could only shake his head helplessly, and then continued, "Anyway, what happened during this time is really weird, and we, the Hatta Armor, had better stay out of it!" Don't even go out to loot lately, for fear of getting burned! ”

"I don't agree with the leader's words, we Hatta armor are originally bandits, if we don't go out to rob, then what will we do? Do you want to stay in the cottage and farm?" A middle-aged man who had been silent before glanced at Shiro Kasahara with disdain, and then said quite smugly.

After hearing the man's words, Shiro Kasawara unconsciously clenched a fist with his right hand, but he quickly relaxed, "Since Kametaro doesn't agree with my proposal, then today's matter is here, I'm a little tired!" After saying that, Shiro Kasahara got up and walked out of the main hall with a blank face.

Looking at the lonely back of Shiro Kasahara, the disdain on the face of the bandit known as Kamataro became even stronger. Kametaro snorted coldly, then turned his head to look at the other retainers in the hall, "How about it, do you want to listen to the leader?" Or my words? ”

"This... This...."

"Of course, it's up to Masaki-sama!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Of course, it's from Masaki-sama! ”

"Shiro Kasahara really thought he was a leader, if he hadn't saved the old leader's life back then, how could he get his turn in this position!"

Hearing the words of one-sided support from all around, Kametaro couldn't help but secretly think to himself, "Kasawara Shiro, don't think that you can do whatever you want once you become the leader, this Hatta armor is up to our Masaki family!" ”

"Besides, I'm not going to make the same mistake as my father, you're going to die this time!"...
