After flicking Zorai's knife into the air, Ogata's gaze froze.

Fix your gaze on Zorai's right armpit!

As he rushed towards Zorai's right armpit, Ogata adjusted the direction of the knife in his hand and the posture in which he held it.

This situation reminded Ogata of the first death match in his life - the death fight with the distant mountains in the god worship competition.

In that deathmatch, Ogata did the same, after flicking Toyama's knife away, he drilled into Toyama's armpit and cut Toyama in half.

And this time - it's a little different.

Zorai was wearing iron armor, and if Ogata was given a sword that was as hard as clay, then Ogata would still have the confidence to cut Zorai in half.

But with the broken knife in Ogata's current hand, it may be that the entire knife is broken, and he has no choice but to take Zorai's armor.

So Ogata's goal is not Zorai's waist, but Zorai's - the lower armpits!

So far, Ogata has accumulated a lot of experience fighting people in armor.

The most effective means of attacking people in armor is to attack where they have no armor to protect them.

For example, their faces, necks, lower armpits, back knees, and feet.

Rushing straight towards Zorai's right armpit, Ogata swung his knife and sliced the flesh of his right armpit, spilling a string of blood.

"Ahh

After letting out a terrible cry of pain, Zorai endured the pain while twisting his waist and slashing at Ogata who rushed behind him with a sword!

It's just that at the same time as he turned, Ogata also turned around.

After inflicting a heavy blow on Zorai's right armpit and rushing a step behind Zorai, Ogata quickly stopped his rush and turned to attack Zorai again!

Due to the serious injury to his right armpit, the knife that Zorai is currently swinging has greatly reduced both power and speed.

Zorai's current knife, Ogata can already take it casually and flick it away.

However, since there was no longer the need to catch Zorai's knife, Ogata only turned his body away and dodged Zorai's slash.

Zorei just turned his upper body around and slashed at Ogata, who was behind him to the right, his lower body still standing.

That is to say - Ogata, who is currently behind Zorai, can clearly see Zorai's back knees!

At the same time as dodging Zorai's slash directly with a step, Ogata turned the knife in his hand and aimed it at Zorai's right back knee and used a bird thorn!

The tip of the knife easily pierced Zorai's unprotected back knee, and Ogata could even clearly feel the tip of the knife piercing his kneecap from behind.

Zorai's cry of pain at this time surpassed the cry of pain from the wound to his right armpit just now.

This heart-rending cry is enough to make people change color.

After Ogata pulled the blade out of Zorai's right knee, Zoray fell to one knee because he couldn't stand the pain anymore.

And this is the moment that Ogata was waiting for.

Quickly approached Zorai, grabbed the armor at the collar of Zorai with his left hand, and grasped the hilt of the knife with his right hand, the tip of the knife pointing at Zorai's neck.

Because Zoray is currently on one knee, Ogata can easily grab Zorai.

"The winner is decided."

After whispering this, Ogata stabbed the sword in his hand into Zorai's neck, and then followed the wound, pushing the blade hard into Zorai's body.

Ogata's knife stabbed through Zorai's right neck, and then directly through Zorai's entire neck, stabbing out from the left neck.

After Ogata pulled the knife out of Zorai's neck, clouds of blood erupted from Zorai's wound like a fountain outward.

Due to the proximity, Ogata's body and face were inevitably stained with some blood.

After letting go of Zorai in his hand and letting the lifeless Zora fall to the ground, Ogata did not wipe the blood that had been splashed on his face.

As he let the blood on his face drip down his cheeks and from his chin, he slowly turned his head to look at the soldiers of the Shogunate Army who were looking at him with horror on the other side.

Subsequently—

"Enemy General Zorai, I have been taken by me!!"

At the highest volume he could, he shouted at the soldiers of the Shogunate Army, who were still very lucky to be alive.

Ogata's roar seemed to have a special magical power.

After seeing Zorai who had fallen to the ground, and hearing Ogata's shouting, some of the soldiers' faces began to show a deep sense of fear.

After less than two breaths, soldiers began to abandon the enemy in front of them in twos and threes, turning and jumping backwards without any hesitation.

And yet—no sooner had they rushed out of the door of the mansion than they froze in astonishment and shock.

Because—outside the gate of the mansion, a strong man with a big sword had already appeared at some point.

Seeing that a soldier finally rushed out of the mansion, the strong man grinned, and then rounded the knife in his hand!

The first soldiers to rush out of the mansion were only two.

The strong man's knife slashed out horizontally, directly cutting these 2 soldiers away!

The two soldiers were slashed by the big sword wielded by the strong man, flew out of a low parabola, and fell heavily to the ground.

The two who landed no longer had any life, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

This strong man is naturally Makimura.

Looking at Makimura at the gate, Mamiya whispered to Ogata in front of him:

"So you just asked Makimura to block the back road of the shogunate army......"

"Hmm." Ogata nodded slightly, "I asked Makimura to climb to the second floor, and then jumped out through the window on the second floor to block the door to the mansion. ”

"Are you going to wipe out the shogunate?" Mamiya asked rhetorically.

"That's right." Without thinking, Ogata replied, "I just figured out a way to get us out of this hellish place. But if you want to use my method, you have to make sure that all the shogunate troops are killed. ”

Even though his body was exhausted as if he had been filled with lead, Ogata slowly raised the knife in his hand.

"Mamiya, let's go up. Slaughter the shogunate army ......"

"Ahh——!h

Before Ogata could finish his sentence, a loud scream suddenly came from upstairs.

This scream was not the scream of a single person, but the scream of many people together - the screams of the villagers hiding on the third floor.

After hearing this scream, both Ogata and Mamiya frowned at this time.

"What's going on upstairs...... "Mamiya said in a deep voice.

“…… Mamiya. Ogata said, "I'll leave this place to you and Makimura for the time being, I'll go upstairs and have a look." ”

After that, without waiting for the palace to respond, Xu Yi threw away the knife that was already a little broken in his hand, pulled out a knife next to him that was still in good condition, held the knife tightly with his right hand, and held the flank around his waist with his left hand, and ran towards the staircase quickly.

As soon as I reached the second floor, I saw the villagers who were escaping down the stairs from the third floor.

"What's going on?!" Ogata grabbed a young man and asked.

"There are giants!" The young man said incoherently, "A giant is coming!" The woman you walked with is now at war with the giant! ”

"Giants?" Ogata's expression instantly became solemn.

He didn't know what he meant by "giant", but Ogata knew - he had to go to Amachi's aid right now!

Letting go of the villager, Ogata hurried down the stairs to the third floor without any hesitation.

Yet—he was only halfway up the stairs when he heard Ogata with a strange noise overhead, his pupils shrank slightly, and he jumped back quickly.

As soon as he jumped away from where he was standing, a wakicha stabbed down from the ceiling where he had just stood.

If Ogata hadn't jumped backwards just in time, he would have been stabbed or even killed by the sword that suddenly stabbed from the ceiling.

"Hmph, the reaction is pretty fast."

After the stalk was withdrawn, a cold snort rang out from the top of the ceiling.

Then, a young man dressed in a special black suit jumped from the ceiling with a.

Looking at the young man, Ogata's eyebrows couldn't help but furrow.

Because—this man's clothes are exactly the same as the Sotaro he had just fought tonight.

And his appearance is very similar to that Sotaro.

Looking at the unknown person who suddenly appeared in front of him, the expression on Ogata's face involuntarily became more solemn.

In a volume that only he could hear, he secretly sighed:

"Tonight...... It's a long time......"
