Chapter 23: The Coming

Satisfied with the morale of the ashigaru, Masarashi arranged for Tsuda Hiromune to lead the team in training, and immediately returned to his residence, where he planned to upgrade his skills before the battle. In the morning battle with the wild boar herd, Masara found that his experience had increased to 1280. Masara originally planned not to use it for the time being, and to learn a more advanced skill when he had more experience, but now that the bandits are about to attack, he can only use this little experience to quickly improve his strength as soon as possible. Masaro first raised the proficiency level of the sword skill "Cutting Down" to advanced, which cost a total of 1150 experience (550 experience for intermediate, 600 experience for advanced, and each level requires a force attribute of 70 or more), and then upgraded the proficiency of the sword skill "No Blade Take" to intermediate (100 experience for intermediate, and 60 or more for the force attribute), leaving 30 experience at the end.

Title: Swordsman

After upgrading his skills, Masarashi picked up his sword and pushed open the small wooden door and walked towards a small forest next to the town. The skills that have just been upgraded need to be adapted through a certain amount of practice in order to play better in battle. This grove is where Masarashi usually practices his combat skills alone......

Just as there was a dense atmosphere of gongs and drums at the foot of Nogao Mountain, there was a relaxation in the meeting hall of the bandit cottage on Nogao Mountain.

"My lord, that guy said that my father was seriously ill and had no time to be separated, so I won't participate in this operation against Yamashita Machiko," said a thin man with a look of disdain as he bowed to a bearded man sitting at the top of the hall.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Banshi Dalang to give birth to such a son, and he didn't even learn one-tenth of his skills", the bearded man suddenly laughed after hearing this. The people around him also echoed the voice.

"How is Slate Lady now?" , The bearded man raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued to ask.

"My lord, according to the news from inside, that guy hasn't woken up yet, and it's probably going to die," the thin man replied.

"My lord, let's just cut those guys, why wait for him to die slowly, how painful it is", someone immediately suggested loudly. …,

"Fool, if you kill them, what will the others who have not joined us think? What's more, they still have 5 or 6 quite powerful characters, and once they fight, even if we win the last game, we will lose a lot. Don't forget, those guys over there have been looking for an opportunity to swallow us. Now Banshi Sasaburo and they are saying that Yamashita Machiko has a powerful character. Hmph, let's see what they have to say when we get rid of the town at Yamashita this time," the bearded man scolded.

"Ah, my lord is wise, my lord is wise", and everyone slapped their asses again.

"Hehe, after the adults eradicated the town under the mountain this time, they can only obediently bow their heads and admit the lordship's position as the leader, right?" , the thin man sneered.

"yes, don't they always say that there is a devil down the mountain? The devil who can't even win the Banshi Dalang has been eradicated by our adults in the end, so they should be damned, hahaha", and someone immediately chimed in.

"It's ridiculous to say, I even said that there was a devil in Yamashita Town, hahaha, I found such a naΓ―ve excuse", everyone laughed.

"I must have robbed a fat sheep again, and it is estimated that this guy got carried away and fell into an ambush. Hahaha, I want to laugh when I think of the embarrassment they looked like when they came back that night. ”

"However, in the past few years, that guy has been occupying the treasure trove of the cottage, and he has always been the only one who eats meat, and we don't even have to drink soup," one guy shouted indignantly. Everyone unanimously agreed, and when they remembered that treasure house, their eyes immediately lit up.

"Ha Luha", the bearded man looked around, and found that everyone showed greedy eyes, and immediately laughed and said, "When I sit in the position of leader, I will divide the treasure house, and everyone will have a share." ”

"Ahh Xie Lu Xie Da", everyone exclaimed, as if the treasure had already reached their hands, and thanked the bearded man repeatedly.

"Hehe, when I think of the treasure, I think of that idiot Banshi Saburo, who really didn't go to the rescue of the poor guy who was fortunate to be suke", the thin man had a sinister smile.

"Huh? By the way, Taro, did those guys agree", the bearded man seemed to be reminded of something by the thin man, and asked a guy with a head tied in the moon next to him.

"Father-sama, seeing the ruthlessness and unrighteousness of Sasaburo Banshi, there are already 8 people who are planning to join us," Tsukiyo replied with a bow.

"Huh?" , there was an exclamation from the crowd, "Congratulations, sir".

"Ha Lu haha", seeing the expressions of everyone below, the bearded man was very comfortable in his heart, in fact, he had long known that there were people from Banshi Zuo Saburo's side who joined his camp, but he deliberately directed this scene with his son, in order to reflect his own prosperity.

"Haven't those Tadajiro guys made up their minds yet?" , the bearded man continued.

"Yes, Father, they said that when the time comes, the leader of the other side will obey the other side, and now they have all returned to their respective homes outside the village", Tsukiyotou replied with a sneer.

"Hmph, these wall grasses, forget it, as long as they don't come out to get in the way at this time, they can just obey the orders when the time comes", the bearded man sneered, and then said.

"My lord, I've been helping that guy go down for a whole day, and he hasn't come back yet, so he can't run away, right?" At this time, the thin man on the side suddenly said.

"Hehe, it's better to run, his mother-in-law and daughter will be ours if he runs", someone below suddenly shouted.

"Aren't you afraid that Banshi Zuozaburo will come to you to settle accounts, Yusuke's daughter is his side concubine who hasn't passed through the door", someone suddenly teased.

"Okay", the bearded man shouted, "Before the matter is done, no one should touch the girl's car, after the matter is done, whoever has the most credit will belong to whom." …,

"Whew! Long live adults! The people below suddenly boiled.

"My lord, although it's just a town, why don't you send someone down to investigate?" , the thin man continued.

"Well, well, who wants to go down and investigate? By the way, let's see if Kosuke is dead," agreed the bearded man.

"Father, the child is willing to go, the child will complete the task well", Yue Daitou immediately volunteered, this time he must grab the first credit, so that the mother and daughter will belong to themselves, thinking about their figures, Yue Daitou couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"You? Well, okay, bring a few more people, and come back quickly after the investigation", the bearded man originally planned to send the thin man to go, but he thought that he would take advantage of this non-dangerous task to train his son, so he finally agreed.

"Yes, Father," Tsukiyo bowed to the bearded man. The next morning, the head of the moon generation picked up 9 people, and a group of 10 people rushed down the mountain. About half an hour later, the group came to a small road. A diminutive fellow pointed to the path in front of him and said to Tsukiyo, "Your Highness, follow this path for about half an hour to reach that town; In addition, if you go a little further into the stream, you will be able to reach the town by walking along the woods on the left bank of the creek for about half an hour. ”

"Well, very well, the order will go down, let's go to the creek over there to rest, eat there at noon, and move again in the evening", the head of the moon generation ordered.

"Huh? Your Highness, aren't we going to find out what is going on in Machiko? ", the dwarf hurriedly asked.

"No, Matsuzo, we're going to get rid of that town," Tsukiyotou said confidently. But how can the credit of looking at the situation compare with the credit of directly eradicating the town? When I applied for the mission last night, Tsukiyo had the idea of launching an attack on the town in advance in the morning.

"Huh? Your Highness, this ......", Songsan was frightened by the plan of the head of the moon generation. This was completely different from the order his uncle had given before leaving.

"Huh? Songsan, do you think that 10 people can't beat those yellow-faced and thin-skinned filthy people? Or are you questioning my commands? The head of the moon was very dissatisfied with being questioned by his subordinates for the first time he led the team alone, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Ahh No...... No, Your Highness", feeling the other party's murderous intention, Songsan hurriedly knelt down to make amends.

"Hmph, pass my order, have lunch by the stream at noon today, rest well in the afternoon, and we will attack the town in the evening. Everything you have grabbed is yours", Tsukiyo snorted coldly, and then shouted to the bandits behind him.

"Whew!" , the bandits cheered.

"Okay, let's go now", the first order of the moon was given, and the bandits began to move in the direction of the creek. Although Songsan was extremely unwilling, the situation forced him to run to the front and continue to lead the way obediently.

Less than half a cup of tea after the bandit left, two people jumped down from a big tree in the woods next to the place where the bandit had just rested, and one of them was the old hunter Shizo of the town. "Gorou, you immediately go back and inform the lord, I will continue to monitor here", Shinzo looked in the direction where the bandit had gone, and then said to a boy about 13 years old next to him.

"Yes, Father-sama", Shingoro bowed and immediately ran along the path towards the town. Shinzo climbed back onto another big tree.
