I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Many ninjas didn't even have a chance to scream, so they were cut to death by Genichi and Gamiya.

The two of them didn't waste any effort, if they could kill their opponent with one blow, they would never use a second strike.

If you can cut off the stomach that is easier to cut, you will never cut off the head that is more difficult to cut.

Genichi and Mamiya were running, jumping, and attacking.

The ninjas on the east and west are routed, broken and dying

The ninjas in Shiranui were stunned.

Their companions, who were clearly located on the east and west sides, had an absolute advantage in numbers, but they had no way to deal with the old man and the young man wearing glasses.

Before the melee knife hit them, he was killed first.

Whether he threw a shuriken or a dart, he was either dodged or bounced away by the two men with the knives in their hands.

Even if they attack in groups, these two can easily kill the attacking enemies one by one.

To give a vivid example to describe the battle between Shimomiya and Genichi Shiranui, the ninjas in Shiranui are like instant milk powder.

And Yuan Yi and Mamiya are boiling water.

What does boiling water look like when it meets instant milk powder, and what do the ninjas in Shiranui look like after meeting Genichi and Mamiya.

It's not just the ninjas in Shiranui who were stunned.

The gunners hired by Lin were also stunned.

Both Lin and Mucun knew the strength of Genichi and Mamiya, so they were not very surprised.

But for the gunners hired by Lin, this was the first time they had seen such a powerful person.

Because I was too shocked and focused on watching the battle between Genichi and Gamiya, even the speed of the shelling could not help but slow down

"Don't be dazed!" Lin roared, "The shelling speed has slowed down!"

After being reprimanded by Lin, the gunners finally came to their senses one by one, and continued to concentrate on shelling the enemies except the east and west.

With the appearance of Genichi and Mamiya, the pressure on the gunners was greatly reduced.

The battle situation that had been stalemate has once again become dominated by Lin and others.

And it's that ever-expanding advantage.

Edo, somewhere

"Come on! Guest officer! Your dried sweet potatoes!"

The Balrog standing in front of a dry food store smiled as he finished the dried sweet potatoes handed over by the owner of the dry food store.

After deciding to let go of everything related to Shiranui, Balrog felt that his weight had become lighter.

It's so light it feels like it's about to fly.

At this time, the Balrog was wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a small cloth bag, which was filled with all kinds of necessities needed for the long journey.

He told Yuanyi in the early hours of this morning that he had seen a very beautiful maple forest in Kansai when he was young.

He has always wanted to visit again, but it is a pity that not long after seeing this maple leaf, he became the 12th generation Balrog, and he has worked hard for the revitalization of Shiranui for 30 years, so he has no time to visit again That maple forest.

Now he is no longer the Balrog.

He decided to leave today.

Just leave Edo today.

to Kansai.

The Balrog straightened the hat on his head,

smiling.

Walking briskly, carrying the dried sweet potatoes he just bought, he walked straight in the direction of leaving Edo.

However, just after leaving the dry food store, Balrog suddenly heard a very familiar sentence.

"Here, Yajiro, the dried sweet potatoes I bought for you."

The Balrog's expression was startled.

According to the reputation, it is a middle-aged man and a young man. These two people look very similar, and they should be a father and son.

After the father handed a pack of dried sweet potatoes to his son, the son took it and smiled happily.

This picture, this set of conversations, almost completely overlaps with a certain memory of the Balrog.

"Here, Ichitaro, the dried sweet potatoes I bought for you."

"Ah, thank you!"

The Balrog in this memory was just a child in his early 10s, and he was still using the name "Ichitaro" at that time.

In this memory, the person who gave him the dried sweet potatoes was the previous Balrog, the 11th Balrog.

He is an abandoned baby picked up outside by the Balrog of the previous generation.

The Balrog of the previous generation has always treated him as if he was his own, and carefully cultivated him.

Although he is a strict person, he occasionally reveals a gentle side.

When he was 10 years old, he inadvertently said "I want to try dried sweet potatoes" in front of the previous Balrog.

Obviously it was just a casual remark, but the Balrog of the previous generation remembered this sentence.

After returning from a certain mission, I bought him a pack of dried sweet potatoes.

It is precisely because of this that this memory is so profound.

Because of this, dried sweet potatoes have always been a special food for the Balrog.It's obviously not a very delicious thing, but I always like to eat it.

After watching the father and son from a distance for a while, the Balrog slowly looked away.

After lowering the bamboo hat on the top of his head, he continued to walk forward.

The picture of the father giving his son dried sweet potatoes just now was like a key, opening a box containing many old memories deep in Balrog's mind.

One after another old memories emerged from my mind.

"Ichitaro, well done, keep working hard, it's only a matter of time before you surpass me."

"Yes! Lord Balrog, I will continue to work hard!"

"Well, remember not to be proud, the future of Shiranui depends on you young people."

This is a memory of childhood, showing extraordinary talent since childhood, and being carefully cultivated by the previous generation of Balrog.

The happiest thing at that time was to hear the previous Balrog praise himself.

After every praise, the previous Balrog would pat him on the shoulder and say, "The future of Shiranui depends on you young people."

Balrog or Ichitaro's slightly upturned mouth slowly flattened.

Memories were scattered, mixed, and reassembled into new images.

This time, the image that appeared in Ichitaro's mind was a somewhat familiar face.

"Ichitaro, I heard that Lord Balrog intends to let you succeed as the 12th generation Balrog. It is well-received that you become the Balrog. Shiranui will rely on you in the future!"

The person who said this was Ichitaro's former senior and friend.

But not long after Ichitaro became the 12th Balrog, he died in a certain mission.

Although he is a senior, he has no airs, and he has given Ichitaro a lot of help.

Ichitaro once asked him why he helped him so much. He said that he thought that Ichitaro's talents far surpassed other peers in the village, and he was the most promising person to become the next generation of Balrog, so he planned to do his best to help and cultivate him. He, let him become an excellent leader who can lead Shiranui to grow stronger in the future.

Ichitaro's originally brisk pace began to slow down and sink.

Various memory fragments emerge and disappear.

Not long after, a new memory remained in front of my eyes, and then slowly condensed into concrete outlines.

Of course, Ichitaro quickly recognized that this was what happened after the previous Balrog failed to negotiate with Satsuma.

The previous generation of Balrog has been committed to revitalizing Shiranui and recreating the glory of the Warring States Period.

For this reason, the Balrog of the previous generation has been thinking hard, searching for ways to revitalize Shiranui every day.

So the previous Balrog came to the male domain Satsuma, hoping to be attached to the Satsuma, just like the first generation of Balrog led Shiranui to the Toyotomi family 200 years ago. With the help of the Satsuma, Shiranui was revitalized and strengthened.

But the monarchs and ministers of the Satsuma domain dismissed the ninjas, thinking that it is better to raise a fleet of ninjas than to raise a group of ninjas.

So this negotiation with the Satsuma domain ended in failure.

The Balrog of the previous generation returned to the village from the distant Satsuma domain in a state of dismay.

Ichitaro still remembers the frustration and unwillingness on the face of the previous Balrog when he first returned to the village.

The corners of Ichitaro's mouth that had just been flattened slowly pulled down.

"Ichitaro"

The memories were broken up again, and then recomposed into a new picture. The previous Balrog was lying on the sickbed, dying of illness, and Ichitaro sat by the bedside, looking at the previous Balrog who was both his mentor and adoptive father with a sad face.

The former Balrog, who was so sick that he couldn't even see clearly, stretched out his somewhat withered hand in the direction of Ichitaro.

"From now on, you will be the 12th Balrog. Shiranuiri will leave it to you."

Ichitaro raised his hand without thinking, and tightly grasped the hand that the previous Balrog stretched out to him.

"Lord Balrog, leave it to me!"

Ichitaro's pace became slower and slower, and finally stopped directly, standing still in place.

He is now standing on a fairly busy street in Edo.

Surrounded by a steady stream of pedestrians, carriages and horses.

But now he felt as if some barrier had appeared around him, isolating these lively atmospheres.

Under the obstruction of this barrier, Ichitaro felt that the people around him, the horses and horses around him were all paper people and paper horses.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Ichitaro, or the Balrog, slowly raised his head.

Looking at the clear sky above his head, he murmured in a pleading tone:

"Let me go"

He prayed to the memory after memory that kept coming to him.

Chapter 426 Shiranui Collapsing [5400 words]

"No retreat! No retreat!"

"No one is allowed to retreat! Those who retreat will be killed!"

"Priority is to kill all those people with big canisters first!"

After Genichi and Mamiya entered the battle, the originally stalemate battle situation gradually became dominated by Lin and others, and this advantage continued to expand.

As an "ancient version of the bazooka", the power of the large cylinder naturally does not need to be elaborated.

Once bombarded, the splash damage alone can injure a large number of people.

Facing Lin and others with 18 large barrels, the only way for the ninjas in Shiranui to fight back is to use long-range weapons such as kunai to fight back.

With the superiority in numbers and excellent kunai throwing skills, the ninjas could have had a tie in this "confrontation between the big cylinder and the kunai".

But after Genichi and Mamiya came out and messed up their "army formation", their only advantage began to gradually lose.

With the loss of their only advantage, the ninjas naturally began to fall into a disadvantage.

But even if they fell into a disadvantage, the ninjas in Shiranui were still fighting fiercely.

"What a tenacious will to fight!" Lin couldn't help muttering.

The performance of these ninjas made Lin have to praise "the ninjas in Shiranui".

Facing such a powerful weapon like Datong, and being attacked by Genichi and Mamiya, two surprise soldiers, it is already very remarkable to be able to hit this point.

But praise is nothing but praise, Lin will not show mercy to them in the slightest.

The fierce counterattack of the ninjas is still useful.

Lin and the others have always had casualties on their side.

Needless to say, the gunners here.
