I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Ogata and the others also changed their expressions at this time.

Because Ogata and the others clearly remember a characteristic about ogres-living people can suddenly become ogres.

And the harbinger of a living person turning into a cannibal is - violent vomiting.

"Quick!" Konnosuke was the first to react, "Bring over the fishing net! Move fast!"

Whether it is Konnosuke or the other villagers, it seems that they have long been used to such a scene.

Following Konnosuke's order, all the villagers took action immediately.

Everyone immediately moved away from the old woman who was still vomiting.

Several young people brought 2 large fishing nets from nowhere, and then covered the old woman tightly with these 2 large fishing nets.

Their movements are quite proficient, and can almost be described as smooth and smooth.

After trapping the old woman with a fishing net, the young men who brought the fishing net just now began to drag the old woman trapped in the fishing net to a certain place with a tug-of-war action .

The face of the old woman was full of fear ever since she started to vomit violently.

She seemed to want to say something, but because she couldn't stop vomiting, the sound she made after opening her mouth was full of vomiting, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Although she couldn't speak, she could still move her hands and feet.

After the young men cast the net on her head, she struggled hard, as if she wanted to shake off the shackles of the net.

However——those young people cast two large fishing nets on her body.

These two fishing nets are quite strong, and the people who are responsible for pulling the fishing nets are still a few young and strong young people. How can this old woman break free from the fishing nets?

The old lady was dragged out of the village little by little by those young people in full view.

Everyone could clearly see the look of fear and despair on the face of the old woman trapped in the fishing net.

She cast a begging look at Konnosuke and the others, as if hoping that Konnosuke and the others could help her.

It's a pity - the help-seeking gaze she cast towards Jinnosuke and others is destined to be useless.

Everyone who was caught by the old woman's help-seeking gaze turned away their eyes one after another, not daring to meet the old woman's help-seeking gaze - including Konnosuke.

Looking at the old woman who was being dragged out of the village bit by bit like a dog, Machi had a look of unbearable expression on his face.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But Xu, who was standing beside her, grabbed her shoulder with his hand before she could speak, and then shook his head at her helplessly.

……

……

The young men responsible for dragging the old woman out of the village moved quickly.

Their skilled movements announced a cold reality to Ogata and others: they have done similar things a long time ago.

Under everyone's gaze, the old woman and the young people responsible for dragging the old woman out of the village gradually disappeared from their field of vision.

Even though the old woman who was about to become an ogre had been dragged away, the villagers headed by Konnosuke still had a heavy expression on their faces.

The joy of the villagers because Ogata rescued their companions and defeated the arrogance of Sotaro and others has dissipated at this time.

No matter who it is, their faces are heavy at this time.

Very few people even secretly sobbed.

As for Ogata and others... This is the first time they have seen a living person become a cannibal.

After witnessing the process of a living person turning into an ogre, and the way the villagers of Fenghe Village dealt with the living person who was about to become an ogre, everyone was stunned in place, and for a while Not knowing what to say or do.

"Everyone..." Konnosuke Asaogata and the others whispered, "It's late at night, everyone, please spend the night in my mansion today..."

"Hmm..." Ogata, whose face was also not very good-looking, nodded, "Then I will trouble you..."

……

……

Konnosuke walked ahead, leading Ogata and the others towards his mansion.

While leading the way ahead, Konnosuke introduced to Ogata and his party behind him:

"You should have heard about it from Zonghai and the others at Tenmanji Temple... Not only the dead can become ogres, but even the living can become ogres."

"There is no rule for a living person to become a cannibal."

"Regardless of gender or age, anyone may suddenly become a cannibal at the next moment..."

"The next person who becomes a cannibal may be you, or it may be me..."

"We've lived in this fear of not knowing when we're going to turn into a cannibal all these years."

"Originally, after the wooden wall was built, we still had 312 people alive here."

"And now, there are only a little over 100 people left...the rest have all turned into ogres..."

"How did you deal with those people who became ogres?" Ogata asked, "Throw them over the wall?"

"No, we made a clearing in the northwest corner of the wall. We dug a lot of deep pits there, and if someone turned into an ogre, we trapped them with fishing nets and dragged them to Throw them in these deep pits that we dug, and cover the openings with planks."

"Ogres don't have much wisdom. If you throw them into a pit deep enough and keep them out of sight of the living, they won't crawl out."

"So that's how it is..." Mamiya mumbled, "No wonder there are almost no ogres around the wooden wall... So you have sealed all the ogres you have transformed into this year inside the wooden wall... "

"Oh..." Kinnosuke sighed, and then smiled wryly, "Everyone, after spending the night with me tonight, try to leave this island quickly..."

"This island has become a dead island... staying here will only lead to a dead end..."

……

……

Turn back time to today's evening——

In the coastal area facing Butterfly Island across the sea, the shogunate barracks——

General Inamori, who commanded thousands of troops to monitor Butterfly Island across the sea, was leading all the senior officers in his army to stand outside the camp.

The reason why he led the generals to stand outside the camp was not for any other reason, but to welcome the famous doctor who was finally arriving here——Hanjing Zongxuan.

Chapter 231: The Shogunate Army Moves Out!

Inamori's complexion is very bad now.

Because he was very dissatisfied with Hanjing Zongxuan's late behavior.

According to the original plan, Zongxuan Banjing, the doctor in charge of the second research on ogres, should have arrived here the night before.

But for unknown reasons, Banjing's car was suddenly delayed for nearly 2 days along the way.

Only now has it come slowly.

As a soldier, Inamori is naturally extremely sensitive to time.

I hate this kind of late behavior even more.

If this person was his subordinate, he would definitely punish this guy who didn't know what to do and dared to be late for so long in accordance with military law.

It's a pity that Sogen Hani is not Inamori's subordinate.

At the same time, because Banjing Zonggen is the general's royal doctor, after Banjing's arrival, not only can he not lose his temper, but he has to greet him in a friendly manner.

Thinking of this, Inamori's face became extremely ugly because of being aggrieved.

The distant skyline suddenly kicked up dust.

Looking at the cloud of dust raised, Inamori raised his eyebrows.

"Everyone, Mr. Banjing is coming." Inamori turned his head and said to the subordinates behind him, "Cheer up."

After all, Inamori took the lead in cleaning the armor on his body.

Needless to say to outsiders, Inamori knew that his current expression must be very stinky.

So after trimming the armor on his body, he rubbed his face vigorously, reorganized the expression on his face, and tried to make his face as gentle as possible.

As more and more sand and dust were raised, a group of cars gradually floated up from the horizon, revealing their complete appearance.

There are 2 carriages in this team, and there are more than 2 cavalry on the periphery of these 20 carriages for personal protection.

These more than 20 cavalrymen were all dressed in fiery red armor, with flag fingers inserted on their backs, and the military flag painted with "clover pattern" fluttered in the wind behind them.

Judging from the horseback riding movements of these more than 20 cavalrymen and the level of their equipment, it is not difficult to see that all of these more than 20 cavalrymen are elite soldiers.

Looking at the more than 20 cavalry in fiery red armor, Inamori frowned involuntarily.

He saw the identities of these more than 20 cavalry at a glance: they belonged directly to the general, and they were the most elite cavalry team of the Edo shogunate.

The Red Army can be regarded as one of the troops with the longest history in the Edo Shogunate.

Since Tokugawa Ieyasu learned Takeda's military system and established the "Tokugawa Red Army", the "Tokugawa Red Army" has a history of more than [-] years.

To this day, the Chibei team is still the most elite cavalry team of their Edo shogunate, directly commanded by the general, and the total number has been maintained at about 1000.

Only banner samurai who are skilled in martial arts have the opportunity to join the Chibei, so although the size of the Chibei team is amazing, it is their well-deserved ace division of the Edo Shogunate.

The reason why Inamori frowned involuntarily after seeing these twenty red cavalrymen was because the escort team of this level seemed a bit too grand

Inamori knew that Sogen Hani was the general's doctor and one of the most skilled doctors in the Edo shogunate, but Inamori felt that his status should not be so noble that he needed to send so many red cavalry to escort him

Moreover, there were 2 carriages in this team, which made Inamori very puzzled.

Before Daomori had time to explain himself, the team of cars had already arrived in front of them.

After suppressing his full of questions for the time being, Inamori led the generals behind him and hurriedly greeted the driver in front of him.

The door of one of the two carriages was opened, and a middle-aged man with a shaved head who was neither fat nor thin walked out of the carriage slowly.

Inamori had met Sogen Bani several times before, so Inamori recognized at a glance that this person was Banai.

"Master Banjing." Inamori put on a polite smile on his face and saluted Hanjing, "Long time no see."

"Master Inamori." After Inamori bowed to him, Hanai quickly returned the salute, with an apologetic smile on his face, "Thank you for coming to welcome me."

Inamori has never been very good

Chapter 232: The Shogunate Army Moves Out!

"So that's how it is..." Matsudaira Sadanobu said softly, "Is this an ogre?"

At this moment, Matsudaira Sadanobu, Inamori, Hani Sogen, and Kamiyama were standing in a certain corner of the barracks under the guard of a dozen soldiers.

In this remote corner, there are 7 wooden cages.

Matsudaira Sadanobu was standing several meters away from the seven wooden cages, looking at the seven wooden cages.

To be precise, it is looking at the 7 ogres trapped in the 7 wooden cages.

After the 7 ogres saw the living people like Matsudaira Jonobu, they all stared at Matsudaira Jonobu and the others, scratching the wooden cage with their fingers, trying to break free from the shackles of the wooden cage.

It's a pity that the wooden cages that trap them are very strong, no matter how much they scratch, it is impossible to damage these wooden cages even a little bit.

"These seven people are the ogres captured when researchers were sent to Butterfly Island to study ogres."

On the side, Inamori introduced Tomatsudaira.

"One of them was one of the soldiers who were in charge of defending the researchers at the time, and unfortunately turned into a cannibal on the island."

Sadanobu Matsudaira nodded slightly in response.

"Inamori, let me see how the ogres come back to life."

"Yes!"

After receiving this order from Matsudaira Sadanobu, Inamori waved to a soldier holding a bow and arrow next to him.

"Give me the bow and arrow."

After receiving the bow and arrow from the soldier, Inamori took a deep breath, and stretched the hard bow in his hand to a full moon.

Inamori didn't aim much, he almost just raised his bow and shot.

The arrow, freed from the bondage of Inamori's fingers and the bowstring, cut through the air with great power, shot straight towards the head of the ogre in one of the wooden cages, and hit the ogre with precision. Only the head of an ogre.

Afterwards, in full view of everyone, red strands of meat emerged from the wound on the ogre's head, ejected the arrow, and quickly repaired the wound.

Even though Matsudaira Sadanobu, who was used to all kinds of big scenes, saw the resurrection process of the ogre with his own eyes, his face still uncontrollably showed a look of astonishment and horror—although Matsudaira Sadanobu quickly recovered his composure.

"It's amazing..." Matsudaira's tone was very calm, making it difficult to understand his current emotions. "Hanai, do you think this 'ogre rebellion' is caused by the plague?"
