Verse 180: Young snakes and stubborn diseases

The indignant warriors, following the guidance of Henry and Lulu, pursued them to the camp of the rogue and saw the robbers who had committed heinous crimes, and several of them were stunned on the spot.

Because this is a group of teenagers and girls who are about the same age as Mira and Yajiro.

They were boiling the food rations they had taken, and when a horde of heavily armed samurai appeared, the tattered boys and girls were stunned for a moment, and then they grabbed their rusty knives and axes, and made a vicious appearance towards them.

The swords that were clearly used by the samurai were stolen or picked up, and the lack of maintenance and indiscriminate use were all missing. The way they held the knife and the way they stood was crooked, but the appearance of the rust on it from the blood showed that it was still a deadly weapon.

4 men and 2 women, judging from the appearance, the oldest one is probably not more than 15 years old.

But how many of these children have been killed?

The samurai's hesitation was quickly dispelled, as the other side also realized that the comer was not good. In the spirit of youthful ferocity, they shouted in the Zhangzhou dialect and stood up from the campfire and set up a posture.

"Dismount and draw your sword, and don't waste your arrows. Narumi remained calm even when he saw the age of these rogues, and as soon as he gave the order, the samurai brushed their horses and drew their swords. Ayong and another samurai led their horses to the other side to avoid being affected. Henry surveyed the terrain around him, a common glade, where the young rogues had piled up all their supplies and set up a few dirty, very dark tents out of tattered things—and perhaps others.

"Don't rush in, wait for them to come. ”

There was a large banyan tree in front of the clearing, flanked by walkways that could be entered, while the rest of the place was densely covered with shrubs, which would greatly hinder one's movement if one entered.

Narumi made the right decision, but even though he didn't know the way of soldiers, the other party seemed to subconsciously realize that there would be a home advantage in fighting on their own turf - the teenagers who were about to rush up at the beginning did not come out from behind the banyan tree after the eldest rogue said something, but just clenched their weapons and stared at this side viciously.

The eldest gave orders, and they stepped back a bit, and some of them seemed intent on moving to the other side of the big banyan tree to block it as well.

Physically and strongly, they couldn't compare to most of the full-grown samurai, and the boys and girls had apparently noticed this, so they planned to fight a defensive battle.

On the surface of this keen intuition, perhaps these people have more combat experience than most of the samurai in the Lunar Land today—at least they have a clear idea of their own strength.

But a layman is a layman after all.

"Shoot. Narumi gave the order directly to the young man in charge, and the samurai behind him took half a bow from his horse, and shot an arrow through the chest of their leader before the young rogues knew what was happening.

Blood spilled out, and the leader of the rogues, who had never been attacked like this, stared in disbelief as the arrow feather that had pierced his chest fell on its head. The girl next to him screamed, dropped her weapon and ran to help him, while the other teenagers rushed over with instant tears in their eyes - just as he expected.

The close-knit group of beloved leaders is also the binding force of these fierce teenagers, who are like young snakes that do not know how to preserve their strength, and every time they bite their prey, they release all their venom in one go.

This can be seen from the scars on the corpses of civilians who had previously been hacked indiscriminately.

But those civilians were ambushed, and perhaps they were obediently tied with their hands tied behind their backs after making some kind of promise not to cost their lives, so there must be a think-tank who controls the situation and makes plans.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, this is the common sense of the art of war.

The fallen boy stretched out his hand to try to stop it, but the other young snakes that were surging up had already rushed up in one breath.

They entered the open field, and it became clear from which direction they were attacking.

It was an unsuspenseful battle, and despite their ferocity and human lives, these boys and girls had to fight against unresisting civilians.

The layman's sword is always good to predict? Because they always like to swing their weapons at a big angle? I thought I would be able to cut deeper.

Narumi struck a mid-sword stance, and the young man in the lead held the sword in one hand and threw it all behind him and ran to try to swing it vigorously - but it was because of the "more powerful" swing he imagined? His front door was wide open and unprotected.

An unremarkable one-hit vertical split.

Turning the heel and rushing forward while chopping accurately? The long knife with a thickened back weighing 1 kilogram hit him in the forehead with rapid force, and the young man who was killed on the spot under the blow had a weak knee, and the rusty knife in his hand fell to the ground and died directly in front of Narumi in a kneeling position.

"Ahh But that just makes them die faster.

No tricks are required.

It is only necessary to choose the best solution to face the current environment from the killing skills that have been used for more than ten or even decades, and then play it.

Henry and Mira didn't even play? It took only 30 seconds for the samurai to deal with the boys and girls who rushed up in a frenzy.

Only the leader of the rogue who survived after being killed by an arrow and the lame girl next to him remained.

These two people have no strength or heart to resist? But Narumi still didn't let it go.

"Cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

At the last moment when the two of them took their last breath, there was a sound in the tent full of miscellaneous items, and then a dirty, dry and old woman came out. She had gray hair and cried out "wow" when she saw all this? Then he grabbed a pair of scissors and rushed straight towards Narumi.

She used the Zhangzhou dialect to call words like "evil ghosts pay for their lives"? But the samurai leader dodged with a wrong turn, and then stabbed him in the back of the neck with a backhand.

The woman who fell to the ground was surprisingly not dead, she crawled to the dead rogue boy with an astonishing will, dragging all the way to the side of the dead rogue boy, muttering something and grabbing the tattered clothes with her hands before swallowing.

"It's the mother. Lulu, who came over with her, suddenly said.

"The age difference is a bit big, and it looks like it's more than 50. "The girl Luo'an looked at the pair of rogue mothers and sons? The samurai, under Narumi's command, entered the camp and searched for it, while several people standing there discussed it.

The samurai carried out their justice.

They're not wrong? These people will not be tolerated.

Narumi's calm and resoluteness is a must.

Just like the bears that Henry had dealt with in Yidi in the past, what if he wanted to keep Huairou as a killer as much as possible because he still looked young? That will only leave more hidden dangers.

The woman's kindness in this situation will lead to casualties on your side, even if you are not trained? Even if it's rusty? Those stabs can still kill people.

But despite objectively nothing wrong? But just like the demon clan who fought with the shrine maiden army in the first place, they are still there.

There are some mixed tastes in my heart.

The Japanese people have been peaceful for many years, and the creed of the samurai is to protect the monarch and the powerless.

This is where the contradiction arises - these young girls are supposed to be in a protected position, but their sins are unforgivable.

The samurai leader may have seen this, but the others, especially Ayu, who had killed the 140-centimeter-tall girl who rushed over, were visibly melancholy.

"Don't get caught up in it. Henry said to them.

It is inevitable that such things will happen in life, and the big taboo at this time is to overthink.

"Ignore, overwrite with something else, and move on. ”

In his more than 200 years of life, if every big and small regret and contradiction was piled up in his heart, he was afraid that he would have already chosen to live in seclusion.

Forgetting is a blessing.

Living without heart and lungs may be the right solution, but who knows the right solution of life.

This is the meaning of travel, encounters and partings, and all the things that happen can be turned into spiritual food - but whether you are in the right direction or not also varies from person to person.

The "evil ghost" shouted from the mouth of the dead rogue mother on the ground was probably sincere, and no matter what crime her child committed, in her opinion, only Narumi who killed him was a heinous person.

This is the "right path" in her heart.

In the face of the test of contradiction, either choose to forget or choose to ignore, to be faithful to a certain creed.

This is the reason why the black-and-white "theory of good and evil" is born in any country or culture, and once you have firmly established your position and divided all those who contradict this position as "enemy" and "evil", then you will at least not be confused again.

Free thought and independent thinking sound wonderful, but it's not necessarily for everyone.

The amount of responsibility to choose it is too heavy.

Believe in a certain creed, follow a certain way of life, and act according to the rules rather than judging yourself. In that case, even if something goes wrong, you can shift the blame to the "old rules".

It's probably going to be a lot easier to survive like this.

Words go back to square one.

The camp of the Rogue found many old things, including these, judging by the smoke-blackened tent pillars and the patched cover, it seems to be a place that has been passed down for a long time, and there is a simple cemetery next to it.

Generations of people who have made robbery their home here, and the six boys and girls may all be brothers and sisters.

"It's like an incurable disease, and I'm glad we cut it down. The great god of the sergeants said after inspecting the camp.

"Rejoice"

It was the only positive word they could think of.

So far, how many families have been ruined and killed because they have passed through this neighborhood, and how many people have suffered bloodshed.

They came too late.

Be a little sentimental, and maybe wonder if these teenagers and girls could have lived a different life if they had been taken away when they were younger and not yet bloody.

But there are no ifs in life.

So I can only be glad that this is over now.

Another victory that is not brilliant.

While the original vision of being an ideal samurai is becoming more and more contrary, the Qingtian family and his party are also maturing at a speed that is almost impossible for other samurai to have in the entire Crescent Continent.

They may no longer be able to become the heroes who turned the tide and saved thousands of people written in the "Wu Yonglu" that they longed for in the past.

But this maturity will allow them to survive when a crisis strikes.

"I regret waiting until it's all over, and what is needed to fight is decisiveness. ”

The samurai who abandoned naivety and idealization is the true crescent sword.

Peel back the sacralized and sublime social status that has been given, and peel off the elegant manners and speeches that have been cultivated by thousands of years of upbringing and cultural connotation.

Warrior.

Always a murderer.

The corpses were piled up, along with the old things. It was not until this time that the group took a closer look and found that the banyan tree had long since died.

Although it was a relatively unpopulated place, in order to avoid the plague, the samurai chose to burn the corpses with fire.

The flames touched the tendrils of the banyan tree, burned upward, and spread rapidly the moment it touched the dry leaves.

The fire caused the group to disperse in a hurry, but fortunately, because the combustibles were concentrated, it should not spread to the surrounding area.

The storm has arrived, and the signs of troubled times are like beasts lurking in the night.

The sword of the crescent moon must not hesitate, carelessness and naivety will bring about death. Even if the fruit is bitter, it needs to be swallowed, and like a person who has not eaten for a long time, he chews and swallows everything and turns it into energy for his body to move on.

Everything in the 4,000-year-old Moon Nation is about to be put to the test.

Many things that are old and rotten will break like dead wood in a storm, but they will inevitably be reborn after that.

It's like this banyan tree that has died but still shades the sun.

The behemoth collapsed with a bang.

In addition to decay, it may also mean vitality.
