As the head of the guard of the Hirata clan, Gensai Nogami will naturally not be alone when he comes to inspect the level of the ronin in person.

Five or six samurai who were about the same height and dress as Inosuke were all standing behind Gensai Nogami. Holding the handle of the knife, he looked at the large group of chaotic ronins in the courtyard with a cold face.

These people are all retainers and subordinates of the Hirata clan, and they even grew up together, although the relationship is a bit of a military hierarchy, but they are still very easy-going with each other.

At this time, facing Inosuke, who had already tied his sleeves with rope, these people smacked their lips in unison.

"Hey, Inosuke is too serious, isn't he? He was taught by Master Xuanzhai since he was a child! ”

"With his level of one-on-one, I think even if he holds the sword with one hand the whole time, it won't be much of a problem to deal with that group of goods."

"Exactly. It was just a bunch of ronins who didn't even know how to swing their swords. ”

Nogami Inonosuke's level seems to be quite famous among the Hirata clan. He is a distant relative of Nogami Gensai, and because of his good talent, he was taken by his side to cultivate swordsmanship since he was a child. To this day, he has even become the chamberlain of the young master of the Hirata family.

During this time, because of the shortage of manpower, he was called out to manage the ronin who was not too busy for the time being.

So even though Nogami listened to all the words behind him, he didn't scold the people behind him.

The bold and intimidating 'babbling' cry sounded, a signature act of the ronins in battle.

But then, the crisp sound of blades intersecting echoed in the small courtyard.

The staggering of two pieces of steel is harsh and crisp, with a spark in it.

The ronin who slashed the long knife indiscriminately attacked first, while Inokami Inosuke raised his wrist slightly with an expressionless face.

The katana in his hand just changed its angle and completely blocked the opponent's offensive line.

It stands to reason that the result of this confrontation is at best that the ronin returns in vain. But.

"Huh?.That's not right!"

Originally, he thought that this battle was nothing to look at, but Lan En, who was standing at the end against the wall and closed his eyes and calmed down, suddenly opened his eyes in the sound of the collision of blades.

His condensed gaze looked at the two people on the field.

The confrontation was only for a moment, but the ronin, who was still the attacker just now, became as if he was the one who was hit after a blade collision.

The whole person's hand holding the knife was greatly shaken apart, and the protection of his knife on the front of the body was completely destroyed!

The next moment, Inosuke did not cut off the blade, but smashed the end of the handle with the end of the knife in the process of raising the knife.

After a muffled sound, the first ronin to come on the field was directly covered by his shoulder socket and knocked into the crowd behind him.

Suddenly, there was a commotion, and this group of ronins who didn't think much of a 'little brat' like Inosuke now looked at him in disbelief.

Unaffected, the young samurai shook his wrist and shook off the non-existent blood stains on the blade according to the swordsmanship norms, and put the sword back into its sheath.

"Two tricks, unqualified. Please leave Hiratano before sunset. ”

Just like his crisp swordsmanship just now, Inosuke's judgment was not a drag.

The ronin who had been hit in the shoulder socket had a flash of annoyance on his dark face.

But before he could speak, Inosuke's calm eyes were already fixed on him.

"If you dare to say half a word more. I'll kill you. ”

This bland tone is not a threat, but an informative.

The class of ronin and samurai is very different, and if the samurai is offside when the samurai explains the rules, it is natural to be cut.

The ronin's face was distorted for a moment, and then he knelt down towards Inosuke with his shoulder socket in his hands, and made that solemn apology before leaving.

In troubled times, people who have no ability must learn to give up their dignity, otherwise even that glimmer of hope for survival will disappear.

Gensai Nogami and the samurai he brought with him, as well as the rest of the ronin, all watched the loser leave as a matter of course.

The same goes for Ran.

Mercenaries! Do you still expect to be a mercenary and earn money standing still?

Compared to these boring ronin, it was Inokami Inonosuke's swordsmanship that interested Lan En more.

"It's a bit powerful to be able to disintegrate the enemy's stance just by blocking!"

The swordsmanship library in the memory of the emperor's sons is huge.

However, swordsmanship is a technique that is divided into usage skills and ornamental skills.

Needless to say, the viewing skills are good-looking.

According to Lan En's observations, most of the usage techniques are similar to the combat concepts of the [Bear School Swordsmanship].

That is, European swordsmanship.

For example, this kind of killing technique in the oriental cultural circle in the hands of Inosuke, Lan En, an Oriental, is really the first time to see it with his own eyes.

At the same time, it is novel, but also a little intimate.

In the courtyard, the sound of "clanging" iron is endless.

Very different from the fighting style of the world that Lan En was in before, the ancient Dongying had a low average level of armor due to the lack of armor technology and materials and other factors.

When Lan fought before, the sound of armor wrestling, clinging, and colliding with each other was dull and heavy.

But here, people who fail in protection, but still have to face sharp blades, are generally more aggressive in their fighting style.

Because in their opinion, the best way to protect themselves is to let the enemy die!

If you send the blade into the opponent's body one step ahead of the enemy, you will be able to live! You can win! Otherwise, damn it!

The hysteria of the people of Toei made their fighting ideas more decisive.

The sound of blades colliding with each other is much sharper and more brutal than the confrontation between armor!

If you listen to it for a long time, it will even feel harsh.

During this period, there were more and more ronins who were brushed down by Inosuke.

And Inokami Inosuke, who has faced more than 50 consecutive battles, has no breathing disorder, his body temperature has remained stable, and even the stability of his stance has increased.

Under Lanen's careful observation, not only did he not enter a state of physical exhaustion, on the contrary, it was as if the warm-up had been completed!

This kind of physical strength, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like what a person of his stature should have.

Fighting is the most physically demanding sport, even if it ravages the weak.

Although the samurai of Hirata are much better off than the commoners, they still look thin enough to see the outline of their bones.

After all, although you eat well, you also consume more in training and fighting.

As the sun gradually sets to the west, the colors turn to the waning sun. There are less than thirty people left on the field who have passed Inosuke's ten moves.

It was time for Lann, who was at the end of the line, to play.

"The samurai of Ashina are really different."

With a pun in his words, Lan En walked towards the middle of the field.

"The [Reed Celebrity] practiced by the reed people is the vein of the swordsmanship of the Lord of One Heart, this is the invincible swordsmanship!"

Nogami Inonosuke only thought that the other party was praising his swordsmanship, so he bowed slightly and saluted, and then took a posture again.

Lan En tilted his head, noncommittal.

"Can you give you a knife? Your swordsmanship is very inclined to slashing, right? My sword is against you, and the advantage is too great. ”

Inosuke was slightly stunned for a moment, then stood up straight and bowed to Gensai Nogami, who was behind him.

"My lord, his sword may be a famous sword, and it really shouldn't be used in sparring, it's too wasteful."
