Chapter 257: Ship Robbery

"Near-no-suke-sama! Oh no! Oh no! ”

At that moment, a villager ran towards Konnosuke with an anxious face.

"There are a lot of cannibals coming to the village!"

As for the fact that there are cannibals coming towards the village, it is not surprising that Ogata and the others or Konnosuke and his party are coming.

After all, they had expected that the ogre would definitely be coming towards the village.

The movement of the shogunate army destroying the wooden wall was so loud that it was difficult not to attract the ogres.

Cannibals only run when they meet a living person, and usually move at a pace like a walk.

At the speed at which the ogre was traveling, it was indeed almost inside the wall.

"Huh? Miss Amachi, is your right arm broken? At this moment, Mamiya suddenly asked Amachi.

"Well, it should be."

"Do you need me to do your bone-setting?"

"Huh?" Amachi looked surprised, "Do you still know how to do osteopathy?" ”

"I used to learn a little bit of Tang Tu's osteopathy in Anyun."

"That'...... I'm sorry for you. ”

"It may hurt a little, but bear with me."

Mamiya grabbed Amachi's right shoulder with his left hand and Amachi's right wrist with his right hand, and used different forces to exert force with different directions.

With a crisp "click", Amachi let out a low cry of pain.

"Alright." Mamiya let go of Amachi's right arm.

He raised his hand and touched the redness and swelling of his right armβ€”it no longer stinged as it had just done.

The right arm was as relaxed as if it had not been injured.

After witnessing the whole process of Mamiya's orthopaedic process to Amachi, Ogata couldn't help but say to Mamaya:

"Were you a traveler who made it your mission to travel all over the world? In my impression, you seem to have said that you have learned the three techniques of gambling, stalking, and osteopathy in the three distant places of Owari, Kai, and Anyu. ”

"Although he is not a traveler who takes it as his mission to travel all over the world." A faint smile hung on Manomiya's face, "But the work I used to do did allowed me to travel all over Japan. Okay, let's talk about it first, Ogata-kun, let's talk about what we do next. ”

"What else can I do?" Ogata shrugged, "Of course, we will evacuate here first, and then go to the place where the shogunate army has landed." ”

Hearing Ogata's words, Mamiya's eyes flickered.

"Sure enough......" Mamiya smiled helplessly, "Ogata-kun, when I heard you say that you were going to wipe out the incoming Shogunate soldiers, I roughly guessed what you were going to do...... You're so bold......"

"The shogunate finally sent a boat over." A meaningful smile appeared on Ogata's face, "If you don't make good use of it, won't it be wasted?" Now some cannibals have been lured to Toyowa Village, just in time for us to sneak to the place where the shogunate army has landed. ”

This conversation between Ogata and Mamiya surprised the Konnosuke on the side.

"Are you going to rob the Shogunate's warships?"

"Of course." "This is the only tool on this island that can go to sea at the moment, and if you miss this ship, you won't have a chance to escape here." ”

After silently listening to Ogata's words, Konnosuke's eyes flickered.

After gritting his teeth, he said in a loud voice to Ogata:

"Ogata-sama! There were hundreds of shogunate troops on the island this time, and there must have been many ships responsible for transporting them, or more than one ship! ”

"So what?" Ogata asked rhetorically in a tone that was neither salty nor light.

"Ogata-sama......" Kannosuke shook off the hand of the villager who was supporting him next to him, and then lay on the ground and sat down on the earth for the Ogata, "After you snatch the shogunate ship, please let us board the ship too!" ”

Ogata seemed to have guessed that Konnosuke would say this, and after listening to Konnosuke's words, the expression on his face did not change in any way.

After Konnosuke's words fell, he asked rhetorically in a calm tone:

"And then? What are you going to do after we've managed to grab the shogunate's ship and get you on board? Escape to the main island of Japan and build a 'Shin Toyowa Village' on the main island of Japan? ”

"No......" Konnosuke smiled wryly, "This won't solve the problem...... After you have snatched the ships of the shogunate, we plan to arrive on the main island of Japan by boat, and then go to negotiate with the shogunate people to convince them to let us live. ”

Whether it was Ogata, Amachi or the others, their eyes flashed with surprise at this time.

And Konnosuke went on to say at this time:

"Even if you flee to the main island of Japan and build another home, sooner or later you will be found by the shogunate, and then you will be killed by the shogunate......"

"We have a large number of old and weak women and children, and it is impossible for us to make the four seas our home and flee everywhere......"

"The only thing we can do if we want to survive is to negotiate with the shogunate and convince them to let us live......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ IMHO. Ogata said unequivocally, "The success rate of your plan is very low, and the chances of convincing the shogunate to let you live are slim." ”

"I know......" Konnosuke smiled wryly, "but...... There is still a silver lining to this plan......"

After quietly glancing at Konnosuke, who was still lying on the ground in front of him, Ogata turned his head and looked at the three people behind him: Amachi, Mamiya, and Makimura.

"What do the three of you think?" Ogata asked softly, "Would you like to help them last time?" ”

"I'm okay with that." Makimura was the first to speak.

And Amachi followed closely behind Makimura: "I'd love to." ”

Mamiya didn't say anything, only nodded lightly after a moment of silence.

Seeing that none of his three companions had any opinions, Ogata bowed slightly, and then turned his gaze back to Konnosuke.

"Konnosuke, let those who are still alive hurry up and prepare."

"Before the man-eaters who are already rushing here have not yet come here, get out of here."

"We escort you to the shore where the shogunate warships are."

"As for whether or not you will survive after boarding the shogunate warship and leaving this ghost place, it all depends on your creation."

Hearing Ogata say this, both Konnosuke and the rest of the villagers behind him were all excited.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thank you. Konnosuke's eyes reddened slightly, "Really...... Thank you very much for your help......"

Looking at Konnosuke, who seemed to be about to cry with joy, a faint smile appeared on Ogata's cheeks.

With a smile on his face, Ogata turned to Amachi and Makimura beside him and said:

"Amachi, can you still walk on your feet?"

"Well, no problem, it's just a little sprained, and now after a little rest, it's much better and I can walk and run normally."

"Then - Amachi, Makimura. The task of escorting the villagers to the coast will be left to me and Mamiya, and I will give you 2 separate tasks. ”

……

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Today's weather is not good.

The pale yellow morning sun slowly rises from the horizon, struggling to break through the haze and cast its weak light on the shores of Butterfly Island.

Although it did not change the gloomy sky in the slightest, it barely illuminated a large ship docked on the shore.

There are a total of 30 Shogunate soldiers who stayed here.

The 15th stood on the shore outside the ship, while the other 15 remained on the boat.

The only weapons they had were swords, spears, and a few commons.

The reason why there is no iron cannon is mainly because of Inamori's arrogant psychology.

Iron cannons are quite expensive weapons.

Because of his contempt for the remaining islanders on the island, Inamori felt the need to dispatch such expensive weapons, so the 150 generals in charge of landing on the island were not equipped with iron cannons.

Just as the soldiers who stayed behind on the ship were carefully observing their surroundings, they suddenly noticed something unusual in the thick forest on the opposite side.

The soldiers, whose nerves were immediately tensed, immediately focused their whole body and mind on the source of this abnormal movement.

The cause of the change was caused by two soldiers wearing blood-stained armor.

One of the two soldiers appeared to have suffered considerable injuries and was supported by the other soldier.

The two limped towards the ship.

After seeing that it was friendly troops, the nerves of the soldiers in charge of guarding the ship slowed down slightly.

The 15 soldiers guarding the shore outside the ship, each armed with their own weapons, hurried towards the two bloodied comrades.

"Brother! What's wrong with you guys? ”

"What's going on? How did you get so badly injured?! ”

"Was it attacked by the islanders? Or was it attacked by a man-eater? ”

……

After surrounding the two comrades, the 15 soldiers asked what had happened.

The large patch of blood on the bodies of these two comrades-in-arms made their hearts uncontrollably appear ominous premonitions.

After getting closer to the two comrades, it was obvious to them that they were both quite tall - but not many people cared about that.

After all, there is never a shortage of such tall people in the army.

Many soldiers in the army often come from well-to-do samurai families.

Because of good food, there is never a shortage of people with outstanding height in the army.

These 15 soldiers only regarded these two people as soldiers from a samurai family with a good family background and good snacks, or people who were gifted since childhood.

Because he was so focused on asking what had happened to the two comrades, none of them noticed that one of the two comrades had a double knife wrapped in a black cloth around his waist.

The handle and scabbard were wrapped in a thick black cloth, as if he didn't want people to notice the appearance of the two knives at his waist......

Under heavy questioning, the person who seemed to be the least injured among the two comrades-in-arms muttered a few words softly.

"Huh? What did you say? ”

"Say it louder!"

The few closest to the comrade pulled their ears closer.

After leaning his ear closer, the comrade muttered a few words softly again.

And this time, they heard it very clearly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sorry. That's what they heard.

The sword flashed.

A chill silently popped out of the scabbard at the soldier's waist and swept horizontally across the throats of the three closest to him.

And after the soldier burst out and killed, the "soldier" who seemed to be seriously injured who had been supported by him since just now also instantly pulled out the two knives around his waist that were wrapped with black cloth from the scabbard to the hilt, and attacked the surrounding shogunate soldiers.

……

……

Changing into the armor of the Shogunate soldiers with Mamiya, pretending to be the Shogunate soldiers to get close to their warship, killing all the soldiers watching the ship, and then snatching their ships - this is Ogata's plan.

It's simple, but it's extraordinarily effective.

Fortunately, there were enough Shogunate soldiers who died in Toyowa Village, and two of them happened to be similar in size to Ogata and Mamiya, allowing Ogata and Manomiya to easily complete the costume change.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the shogunate soldiers guarding the ship, Ogata also wrapped the handle and scabbard of the sword with a thick black cloth to cover the appearance of the two knives.

After using his unique stunt in the Manomiya, the silent sword drawing technique "Divine Light", to kill three people in one go, Ogata who had been pretending to be a seriously injured person and huddled in the arms of the Manomiya also began his action, pulling out the Daishakuten and Daiji on his waist and attacking the surrounding shogunate soldiers.

Mistaken for Ogata and Mamiya's comrades-in-arms, the Shogunate soldiers were unaware of the surprise attack on the two.

By the time they came to their senses, half of their comrades had already fallen.

The rest of the people began to fight back, and the other 15 people guarding the ship also noticed the abnormality here, and they all picked up their weapons in their hands, ran off the boat, and began to support.

The most important thing to do this time is to be fast.

After all, there are only 2 people on Ogata's side, and the other side is 30 elite Shogunate soldiers.

The best thing is to kill as many people as possible before they can react to what is happening, so as to minimize their combat power.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, both Ogata and Mamiya were in full swing.

Ogata pulled out his twin swords, and Mamiya took advantage of his incredible sword speed.

The two strictly adhered to the principle of one sword and one kill, and after cutting off the 15 soldiers of the shogunate around them, they quickly walked towards the other 15 soldiers who had just disembarked and had not had time to start support......

……

……

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha ......"

Ogata sat unfigured on the beach, panting and adjusting his breath as he took off his armor.

As for the Mamiya, he stood by Ogata's side, taking off his armor with Ogata, and whispered to Ogata:

"No more, no less, exactly 30 corpses...... The process of seizing the ship was much smoother than expected. ”

The beach next to the two of them was filled with the corpses of 30 Shogunate soldiers at this timeβ€”Ogata and Mamiya, who were in full swing, cleared out the 30 Shogunate soldiers guarding the ship in less than 20 breaths.

Of the 30 people, 20 were killed by Mamiya, and the other 10 were beheaded by Ogata.

"You look bad...... "Manomiya, whose breathing was only a little rapid, said to Ogata, who was still panting heavily.

"Aren't you talking nonsense...... Ogata smiled wryly, "Who was the most tired person last night?" ”
