"Corpses?"

Ogata looked upstream of the river in the direction of Amachi's finger, but saw nothing.

"Where are the corpses?"

"Follow me!"

With that, Amachi spread his legs and ran upstream along the banks of the Linon River.

After running some distance upstream after following Amachi, he saw that there were indeed two mutilated corpses on a certain river bank upstream.

Looking at the two mutilated bodies lying on the riverbank, Ogata and Amachi both frowned.

Both men were dressed in the armor provided to the prisoners by the government, and both wore scabbards around their waists—and it was clear that they were also among the prisoners who were forced to land on the island.

The deaths of these two people can be described as tragic.

The two of them died in a fairly uniform way - they were beheaded in half.

Both of them were cut in two.

Blood, internal organs and other logistics were everywhere, his eyes were round, his eyes were full of fear, and his death was extremely tragic.

Ogata and Amachi crouched next to the two corpses and began to observe them.

Both were hacked to death, so it would only be a human, not a man-eater, who would kill them.

The corpse hadn't begun to decompose, it was probably not long since it was dead.

Judging from the cleanliness of the armor on their bodies, both of them were prisoners who had just landed on the island not long ago.

Like Ogata and Amachi, he was one of the 4th batch of prisoners who landed on the island.

"They were all cut in two with a single sword...... Ogata muttered, "and they were cut in half with armor...... The guy who killed these two people has a lot of skills......"

"There are only 2 kinds of weapons that can cause such a big injury,......" Amachi on the side also said softly at this time, "Dataidao, and ......"

"A man's naginata." Ogata helped Amachi answer.

Around the two corpses, not only a large number of fragments of armor were scattered, but also fragments of knives.

And both of them had only a piece of fighting knives left in their right hands.

Looking at this situation, a picture gradually sketched in Ogata's mind—the two prisoners were confronted by a master who was skilled in using a daitai knife or a naginata.

Although he reluctantly erected the knife in his hand, wanting to defend against the master's slash, but because his skill and strength were not as good as this master's, the knife was directly cut off by the master, and the armor was also chopped in half.

“…… I have a hunch. Ah Machi on the side suddenly said, "These two people should have been killed by the 'demon monk' Yichun." ”

"As far as I know, the 'Demon Monk' who is good at using the naginata knife is purely because of his natural strength, and when he kills someone, he will always cut his opponent in half."

"It doesn't matter who killed these two." Ogata slowly stood up and said, "Anyway - let's just be careful. ”

"Let's go, Amachi, these two corpses don't have anything to look at, let's go find the shogunate's researcher's station."

With that, Ogata took out the map that Sokai had drawn for them again, and then carefully compared the surroundings, and then muttered in a low voice:

"We should be close to ......"

……

……

As Ogata muttered—they were indeed about to arrive at the Shogunate researchers' residence.

After saying goodbye to the two corpses and walking nearly a stick of incense along the Linong River upstream of the river, the two saw an open riverbank.

And on this wide riverbank, there are a large number of military tents.

And these military tents have been blown crooked by the wind because they have not been taken care of for a long time.

A few flags painted with "three-leaf sunflower patterns" stretched out in the wind in this camp.

The entire camp exuded a deathly silence.

Although Munekai said that there were no cannibals in this area, Ogata and Amachi still exercised their wrists and ankles before entering the camp.

Amachi even checked the iron cannon behind his back and confirmed that the iron cannon behind him was in a state of readiness at any time.

Even if there were no cannibals in the camp, there might be the rest of the prisoners.

What's more, the two of them just saw two corpses suspected of being killed by the "demon monk" Yichun on the river bank downstream.

This made the two even more cautious and vigilant.

After checking their equipment and moving their wrists and ankles, the two began to slowly step into the long-abandoned camp.

When I stepped into this camp, the first impression I had on Ogata was chaos.

It's particularly messy.

Both outside and inside the camp, there were a lot of items scattered on the ground.

Unused scrolls and papers, empty bamboo tubes, unscabbarded knives, burnt torches...... In short, there is everything on the ground.

Looking at the ground scattered with a lot of debris, Amachi muttered:

"It seems...... The people in this camp were really in a hurry when they evacuated here......"

"yes...... Ogata chimed in, "I hope they can leave something slightly useful." Let's go, Amachi, let's go into the tent and have a look. ”

The two of them planned to search camp tent by camp tent, searching every inch of the camp.

Their first target was a common tent on the outskirts of the camp.

Call!

As soon as they ripped open the curtain of the tent, Ogata and Amachi immediately cast alarming glances into the tent.

The tent was very safe.

There were neither cannibals nor prisoners hiding inside.

The tent was too safe to say, not only was there no enemy inside, but nothing was inside.

The tent was empty, and Ogata and Amachi could only withdraw their gaze in disappointment and head for the next tent.

……

……

Unlike yesterday, when I searched the village, I found something useful from time to time—every tent in this camp was empty.

Even if there is something in it, it is basically some useless scrap.

With a growing sense of disappointment, the two have unknowingly penetrated into the heart of the camp.

The curtain of the tent was lifted again, and the empty scene of the tent appeared before the eyes of the two men again.

"Is there a mistake?"

As if he couldn't take it anymore, Amachi began to spit out loudly.

"When the people of the shogunate withdrew, they must have withdrawn too cleanly, right?! Can't we leave something of value behind?! ”

Although Ogata didn't scold like Amachi, the resentment in his heart was not much less than that of Amachi.

After all, the two of them had spent so long here, and they hadn't found any useful supplies or valuable information—which would have been very unpleasant for anyone.

Just as Ogata was about to lower the curtain and head down the tent, the corner of his eye suddenly swept to a white object lying in the inconspicuous corner of the tent.

Ogata looked closely—and saw that it was a thin book with nothing written on the cover.

【Japanese History Classroom Started~】

I mentioned the naginata in a previous class.

Originally, the naginata was a weapon used by Japanese monks to defend temples.

Subsequently, it became the main battle weapon on the battlefield.

In the years that followed, it was replaced by a more practical spear.

After being eliminated from the battlefield, the naginata gradually became a weapon used by women to take care of their homes.

The naginata knives used by women tend to have narrower blades.

And the men, such as the naginata used by the monks, have a wider blade and a shape more like a shut-off knife.
