Soon after the bamboo raft landed, Furuno Province began to deploy defenses along the coastline.

The two of them picked a barbecue restaurant by the sea, sat by the window on the second floor, and watched the teams of soldiers rush to the port.

"It seems that they want to put the battlefield on the coastal coast, and they want to fight it out there. It looks like our whereabouts have been leaked......"

Ai Yin grabbed two skewers of barbecue in her hands and said vaguely.

"It's inevitable, who would choose the battle in the city unless it is absolutely necessary? Although the two armies are fighting and will not harm the common people, once the fight starts, the sword has no eyes, and they can't help it......"

Thor recalls the unprecedented battle of the Top War, and even though the navy was already sitting on layers of protection, Marin Vando was almost sunk by Whitebeard.

Although they can't reach Whitebeard's level at this level, it shouldn't be too simple to destroy a city.

However, he was more curious about the other party knowing that he was coming to Guno Country.

"As a world power, Furuno Province has more than 50,000 soldiers. Among them, the largest number of people are the black armor soldiers, those black armor soldiers are all equipped with katana swords, holding long ge, once had the reputation of being as fast as the wind, Xu Rulin, aggression like fire, and immobile as a mountain. The second is the Three Thousand Fire Cavalry, also known as the Three Thousand Fire Ravens, which is the most elite unit in the ancient wilderness, known as invincible in the front, and is the elite of the world that even the navy is extremely afraid of. Finally, there is the guard of King Furuno, the ronin troops. There are also hundreds of people, everyone is equipped with guns and knives, and the spirit of samurai is extremely important, all of them are sword masters, and their leader is still a sword saint from Wano Country, Sasaki. Therefore, if we want to start an all-out war with them this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to win......"

Thor was stunned, "How can you be so aware of the military power of the Ancient Wild Country?" ”

Ain rolled his eyes, "When I was in the navy at the time, Mr. Zefa had studied the military of various powerful countries, among which the ancient wild country was also taken out to give us a lecture, this country is a country that attaches great importance to military force, as a former prince, don't you know a little?" ”

Thor smiled awkwardly and said, "How old was that?" Later, he only cared about pirates and navy affairs, and didn't bother much with these countries. But the commander of the Black Armor Soldiers, I know, was the general who commanded the army when my father was in power, and he was a man of few words, and he was loyal to the country, and he was very close to my brother at that time, but at that time he had only three or four thousand men, of course, at that time, there were very many. ”

Ai Yin didn't care about what he said, but said seriously, "Are you sure that you will lead the pirate group to start a war with the ancient no country?" Although all the borders of Furuno Country need to be defended, I guess that there are at least 10,000 or 20,000 troops in the city now! ”

Thor took a sip of tea, felt that it was not a taste, put down the cup, reached out to untie the wine gourd, took a sip and said, "This person, when it reaches a certain level, it doesn't matter if there are many people and few people." ”

Ain frowned. "How can so many troops be solved? And whether it's their commander, or the king's guards, there must be very powerful people, and those guys are the enemies of a few of us. ”

Thor said calmly, "You don't have to worry about this. We're a little bit early in their interior, so make the most of this time, and the deployment of their army will be left to you. ”

Ai Yin looked at his indifferent appearance and nodded helplessly.

The two of them stayed in the city for a while, secretly inquiring about the news and analyzing the deployment of the troops of the Furuno Kingdom.

Eight days later, in the evening, Chloe called, and they were only fifty nautical miles away from the place designated by Thor, and it would not take long to reach the speed of the ghost-faced ship.

Thor hurriedly asked them to stop where they were, recuperate on the ship, and wait until twelve o'clock in the evening to rush directly to the docks, when the war may be about to begin.

After making some remote deployments, Thor hung up the phone, got up and walked to the window, looked at the search team back and forth, and muttered, "It's so lucky, if you come late for a while, it will be difficult to even land." ”

Ain nodded, "In terms of army capabilities, if Kurokas and Furuno go to war, it may be a one-touch collapse." ”

Thor nodded, this was something he had to admit.

In terms of these armies alone, Furuno did have few opponents.

"Already have a plan?"

Ain inserted two short knives into the leather sheath on the side of his leg.

Thor scoffed, "Never fight uncertain battles. ”

Ain looked at the city, and in the most heavily guarded place, there was a man known as the invincible "God of War", according to the scattered information of these days, that man's fruit ability was just right to restrain Thor.

"What level are you at now?"

Thor took a sip of wine, "If you can't beat the general, it's not difficult to escape." ”

Al Yin remembered Thor who was at war with Sengoku at sea one day, and his heart settled down a little.

………………

A courtyard in Furuno.

The small courtyard is an Edo period style building, and there is a pond in the courtyard, and there are water lilies, koi carp, and lotus flowers in the pond.

There is a wooden corridor on the edge of the pond, and every morning, an old man with a white beard sits here to feed the fish.

The moon in the sky is not very good tonight, and only one and a half moons appear.

The old man in a kimono with the name of the Sword Master sitting in the hallway, carefully wiping the long knife in his hand.

This knife called Hu Che has been with him for thirty years, hundreds of battles, and has accompanied him to the death many times, but unfortunately this knife is not famous.

The world only knows the sword saint Sasaki, but does not know the saber tiger.

This made him, an old man who didn't pay much attention to fame, feel a little sorry for this old man.

After 30 years of wind and rain, Hu Che is still as bright as a mirror, and he is quick to make decisions.

The old man put down the white cloth in his hand, lifted Hu Che above his head, and said to himself with a smile, "I heard that in recent years, there is a kid who has won the title of the world's number one swordsman...... Hey, hey, old...... If you are ten years younger, you must earn the title of the world's number one swordsman with him...... "The old man looked down at the bright moon in the water, reminiscing about the bitterness" When he was young, he admired the great swordsman Ryoma the most, and when he was middle-aged, he met Musashi, and he knew that kendo not only has hundreds of years of Ryoma, but also Musashi today...... In the twilight of life...... I'm still a little bit worse than you......"

The old man bowed his head and smiled bitterly.

Twenty years ago, there was a swordsman who was about the same age as him, but he liked to drink, and after beating him by half a move, he drank most of the pot of wine, and laughed and said, "Sasaki, you and mine have reached their own peak, and after that, at most, it is the progress of the state of mind, but the body is going downhill." I don't want to fight for the reputation of being the number one in the world, but I also don't want my swordsmanship to be cut off. I've got a good kid who behaves like you, haha...... I am happy when I think that kid looks like you when you were younger......"

At the end, the man hung the huge wine gourd on his waist, waved his hand and walked away without looking back, "Wait, at most twenty years, that kid's name will definitely resound in this world!" If you haven't died of old age, watch that kid surpass you step by step. ”

The old man put the tiger across his knees, picked up a pot of cherry blossom wine on the ground, took a sip, and smacked his lips, this wine is really not good.

Then, he poured all the wine into the pool and muttered, "Old fellow, I haven't seen you for decades, and I don't know if you are dead, this pot of wine should be regarded as my respect for you." Besides, where is your apprentice who blows the cowhide? I've been paying attention to the newspapers all these years, and there is no one who claims to have inherited your swordsmanship......"

The old man threw away the wine bottle, picked up his sword and said with a smile, "It's not me who said, you are really not a good person, and you are okay with swordsmanship." ”

The old man looked up and saw that the bright moon in the sky was swallowed by dark clouds little by little.

"Evil ghosts are rampant, and the old man will raise his sword to kill ghosts."

……………………

Furuno country, military camp.

The large camp commander's tent located in the center of the barracks is flickering with candles.

A middle-aged man in battle armor knelt at a small table. Behind him was a row of weapon racks, on which leaned on a spear with a huge head, which had the reputation of "dragonfly cutting".

It is rumored that one day in a certain year, a dragonfly flew into the tent and landed on the blade of this spear, and as soon as it fell, it was cut in half.

Hence the name Dragonfly Cut.

This antlered general, known as the first fierce general of Furuno, was born with an aversion to muskets, and whenever he was in battle, he didn't carry a gun at all, but just rode a black horse, holding a dragonfly to take the lead in rushing and killing, and was invincible in the chaos of the army.

Six years ago, in the face of the powerful country of Edo, General Antlers resisted the onslaught of Edo's 40,000-strong army with 8,000 dead soldiers, attracted firepower head-on, and defeated the Edo army in one fell swoop after a surprise attack by 3,000 fire crows.

When King Guno arrived with reinforcements, the No. 1 general of Guno was covered in blood and stood on top of the mountain of corpses, with only eight seriously injured subordinates left by his side.

The first general of Furuno stood up, looked out of the tent, frowned, and then picked up the antler helmet at his feet and put it on his head. He picked up the spear on the rack and strode out of the tent.

…………

A restless King stood on top of the castle and looked at the seaside.

He's been watching it like this for hours.

This is the highest place in the country, and you can overlook most of the ancient wilderness.

When the clock rang midnight in the castle, he saw a sudden wave rise in the direction of the harbor, tearing a hole in the laid line.

His eyes froze, and after seeing the huge waves, a hundred-meter-large ship rushed into the harbor, and a black flag that could not see the picture clearly fluttered in the wind.

He looked sideways, but he didn't see any other ships.

couldn't help frowning slightly.

A gust of wind blew, and the phone bug in the castle rang frantically.

Don't think about it, it must be a port emergency!

In the field of vision, a heavy fog rose in the direction of the port, and in just a dozen seconds, the big ship was obscured, and then the fog rolled in the direction of the town.

The air seemed to smell of blood.

King Furuno took out a phone bug, dialed it and shouted directly, "Immediately organize people to block the road leading to the port, and evacuate the residents of the city at the same time!" Inform the 3,000 fire crows to charge the enemy and be sure to stop the enemy outside the city! ”

After saying it in one breath, he hung up the phone directly.

"You're here?"

He didn't say a word back.

The old man behind him nodded, he was still dressed in a simple navy blue kimono with a knife hanging from his waist.

King Guye looked at the dense fog that was getting bigger and closer, and said lightly, "The other party only came to one ship, if you don't guess wrong, it's his pirate group." It seems that the other party is extremely confident. ”

The old man looked at the thick fog and replied, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, and a hundred ghosts walk at night." It is rumored that every night walk of a hundred ghosts can subvert a country, hehe...... Let the old man come and see if he, a hundred ghosts, can subvert Guye! ”

In the midst of the smoke, the hundred ghosts whispered and roared.

Under the banner, Thor carried his sword, except for Lin Shou Boat, half a step behind him, left and right.

Minano, Chloe, Binz, Al Ain, Caesar. Lined up.

There is also an evil ghost who has hidden his figure, following the ghost king, like a shadow!

"A hundred ghosts walk at night, and the living retreat!"

At the front of the road, hundreds of soldiers blocked the road.

"Kill!"

The good ones did not come, the ones who came were not good, and the soldiers did not have any extra inquiries and directly attacked.

"Drag them to hell!!"

There was a hundred ghosts screaming.

The soldiers crashed headlong into the thick fog, and the sound of battle rang out!
