Volume 1 Under the Castle of Ashina Chapter 37 Fat Kotaro
All the way down the mountain, back to the place where the white fat man was, and handed him the white windmill.
"Turn, turn, red, white flowers, the only one, white flowers."
The fat white man who took the windmill laughed heartily, and kept singing this nursery rhyme in his mouth.
As if tired of singing, or satisfied, he stopped me just as I was about to leave:
"Thank you, thank you for helping me find my windmill. Did you see Kazuko? β
"See."
"How's that, what's going on, is she's okay! Is she okay!
Why doesn't she come to play with me, doesn't she want me?
Take me to her, take me to her. β
It's not a big problem to go up the mountain alone, and it's not a big problem to take this fat man up the mountain, but why should I run for nothing.
It was as if he saw that I was embarrassed.
"You tell me where she is, I'll go find her myself."
Helping you find the windmill is just a stop.
The fat man's instincts were really sensitive, and suddenly he was silent.
"What's your name?"
"Kotaro." Kotaro said scaredly.
"You wait here for me to come back, and I'll take you to find Kazuko when I come back."
"Okay."
After I left, Kotaro sang happily.
"Turn, turn, red, white flowers, the only one, white flowers."
Instead of choosing to go back the way you came, you chose to sit directly opposite the ghost Buddha and return to the Buddha's words outside the city, because you can walk directly from the cave to the prince's apartment.
This Immortal Buddha Temple is very weird, and it can affect people's hearts.
However, when I tried to walk through the cave again, something changed - the gate could not be opened again.
I was so confused by this that I asked the person I was most likely to know about β the Buddhist carver.
......
"That's right."
He still mechanically carves his angry Buddha sculptures.
"Maybe something happened there."
Something has changed? Looks like I'll have to go through the dungeon, so I'd rather be more hidden.
......
When I came to the city, the atmosphere was much quieter than when I first arrived.
It seems that it may not be just quiet, but the ninja who eats the hidden candy of the moon and hides in the shadows observes that the castle tower is full of ninja groups - the Lone Shadows.
The lone shadows occupied the pavilion, and there were no other eagles to be seen on the castle tower, and there were many remnants of the bloody corpses, indicating that the enemy attack may have happened not long ago.
There are quite a few special soldiers on the ground that have never been seen before, or have seen them a long time agoβthe Red Riding Hoods.
As their names suggest, the soldiers wore red hats and red armor. They were chasing and killing soldiers in the city.
The Red Hats are all fully armed, and even the weapons are much more luxurious than the weapons of the people in Reeda Castle, it should be said that the soldiers of Reeda Castle are still in the era of cold weapons, while the Red Hats soldiers have entered the era of hot weapons, which is a gap of the times.
While the Red Hats were using flamethrowers, the Ashina Castle soldiers were still using fire bolts and muskets, and their weapons and armor were not comparable.
Whether it is a peasant soldier, a militia or a professional martial arts practitioner, the reeds are all clothed and clothed, and the defensive power of this armor is almost zero, and wearing it is just to deceive their brains.
On the other hand, the red hat and red armor are actually made of iron and steel.
The steel of the reed castle is only used for swords, guns, arrows, iron chains, and the walls of the houses are originally made of stone and wood, where is there the ability to mine these precious ore resources.
Of course, these are also external factors, if the strength of their own province is outstanding, it is not that they do not have the capital of World War I, but the disaster is not a one-way street.
The conflict between the Red Hats and Reed City has always been the latter's defeat and retreat, and if you want to say why it hasn't completely failed, it's either that the Reeds put life and death out of the way, or the Red Hats are playing cat and mouse.
In fact, the outcome of this battle has long been decided, whether it is from the occupation of air supremacy or from the situation of the battle, all of them tell such a thing - Ashina will be defeated.
Just, where did these people come from? Are these people the opponents of Reeda Castle?
I remember that the Lonely Shadows were originally led by the people of Reeda Castle, my father-in-law, but he died three years ago, and who is in charge of these people now, and why did they rebel?
Also, why does it seem like the Lone Shadows have joined forces with the Red Hats, when did they form an alliance, and why did they attack Reed City?
Of course, the most important point is, where did the Red Riding Hood soldiers come from, and why are they all well-equipped and superior in martial arts?
If you look closely, you will find that eighty percent of the Red Riding Hood soldiers fought with two knives, while the rest of the people were armed with two knives at their waists and armed with firearms.
Those who practice martial arts are one in a hundred, although soldiers are not so strict, and if the war is tense, they often only train for a few months before being pulled into the battlefield.
However, this group of people was clearly and well-trained, and it was not a sudden appearance, but an orderly layout and plan quickly occupied the place.
You must know that when I met the prince last night, it was still calm here, but the stars changed overnight.
This group of people are all fighting with two knives, and the double knives are not a simple superposition of one plus one single knife training, and if they can be trained to the extent that they can be sent to the battlefield, they will not be able to fight without ten years, otherwise they will only be live targets.
In the case of elite troops, this matter becomes more and more complicated, but that kind of banter attitude is far from that of elite troops.
If this weren't an elite unit, it would only be even more terrifying.
With one as five ordinary soldiers, this kind of combat power.
......
The rooftop pavilions are connected by bamboo planks, which seems to be convenient for ninjas, but it also provides convenience for me.
The closer I got to the main city, the more the number of the Lone Shadows became, and the Lone Shadows surrounded the main city tightly, but they were only around, which made me curious.
But their ruler is in the city.
The same ninja naturally understands the habits of ninjas, and the pottery shard is a good thing to create movement.
I don't expect to attract all the ninjas, but I just need to attract the ninjas around the window that leads to the Tenjukaku.
Using the effect of the power of the moon to get close to the window door, in order to avoid being detected and sticking to the eaves of the building extending around, the pottery shards that were picked up before were thrown out at regular intervals to create a sound.
Because he is a ninja, he knows the habits of ninjas well, and the regular sound of the pottery shards thrown out looks like someone walking on the roof.
This sound instantly attracted the attention of the three ninjas on the upper level, and sent two ninjas to aim at the sound source and wrap the left and right, leaving one person to guard the door.
However, apparently his attention was also aroused by the possible battle ahead, perhaps this is the ninja's hobby.
He didn't notice that the illusory figure behind him had shown a knife at him.
