I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Not only assassinate their leaders, but also assassinate all the targets in their stronghold that can be assassinated first."

Ogata's words shocked the audience.

"Mashima-sama. That's right." Hosaka hesitated, "But the question is how to sneak in?"

Hearing this question from Kasaka, Ogata smiled and shrugged.

"You don't have to worry about that."

As Ogata said, he turned his head to look at the sky outside.

"It's almost nine o'clock now. After we finish our lunch and build up our strength, let this guy show us the way and take us to their stronghold."

Ogata pouted at Ono who was being tied up by Wuhuada.

"After arriving at their stronghold, stand still and wait for dark."

"After dark, my wife and I will start to act first."

"My wife and I will sneak into their stronghold through the night and wipe out some of the bandits in secret."

Ogata raised his hand and stroked his neck horizontally.

"My wife and I have reduced the number of bandits to almost the same level. I'll send you a signal, and you can attack together."

Ogata simply stated the specific battle plan he had just drawn up.

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Hosaka opened his eyes and asked Ogata:

"Mashima-sama, are you still planning to take Ling Zheng to hunt down the bandits? Do you want Ling Zheng to sneak into the bandits' stronghold with you?"

"Excuse me, it's very difficult to infiltrate a certain place and carry out an assassination operation without anyone noticing."

"I know." Ogata smiled and nodded, "But I still know a little about sneaking and hiding."

"As for the wife"

"Don't underestimate my wife."

Ogata put on a half-joking tone.

"Her skills are far better than you imagined. At least she is stronger than the bandits who attacked today."

"And she's also very good at how to sneak into a place without anyone noticing."

"It's better to say that my wife taught me my sneaking and hiding skills."

"It's just a stronghold of bandits, I have the confidence to sneak into it and assassinate all the bandits in the stronghold that can be assassinated."

Speaking of this, Ogata suddenly remembered that since he left Kyoto, it seemed that he hadn't used the "Shiranuryu Stealth Technique" to sneak into a certain place for a long time.

What he said just now, "My in-laws taught me my skills of sneaking in and hiding my figure" is actually not wrong.

Although Ogata was able to light up the skill tree of "Shiranui Ninjutsu" thanks to the system.

But at that time, Ogata could not use the system to unlock "Shiranui Ninjutsu" without A-Machi giving him the various moves to cover up Shiranui Ninjutsu.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Amachi is Ogata's master in "Shiranui Ninjutsu".

As soon as Ogata's words came out, everyone in the room cast shocked glances at A-Ming.

"Miss A-Machi." Hosaka murmured, "Are you so good?"

Everyone, including Hosaka, originally thought that Machi was just an ordinary girl who was ordinary except for her good looks.

Unaccustomed to being stared at by so many people in shock, A-Machi couldn't help showing a shy smile.

If Ogata had said that he and his wife would infiltrate the stronghold to assassinate the bandits this morning, before the bandits headed by Ono came, Jincheng and the others would have scoffed, thinking that Ogata was crazy.

But now after seeing Ogata's strength and knowing that Ogata turned out to be such a great swordsman with such superb swordsmanship, Jincheng's thoughts and concepts have all changed.

Seeing that Ogata vowed that he was confident that he and his wife would easily sneak into the bandit stronghold and assassinate the bandits one by one, Jincheng and the others only thought that Ogata might really be able to do it!

In addition, in addition to the relatively dull Tsuchiya, the three people of Hosaka, Jincheng, and Mizuno admired Ogata even more.

The three of them only thought that Ogata, as a great swordsman with extraordinary swordsmanship, took the initiative to take on the most dangerous task.

When the group of bandits headed by Ohno attacked today, Ogata was also the first to charge forward.

What kind of spirit is this?

The image of Ogata in their minds became even taller.

Out of trust in Ogata, everyone agreed to Ogata's daring battle plan.

After obtaining all the desired information from Ono and simply drawing up a battle plan, it was almost time for the sun to rise to its highest point.

In order to thank Ogata and the others for their brave performance today, the villagers prepared a much richer lunch for Ogata and the others than before, but in essence, it was just that there were more radishes and pickles on each plate.

After lunch and a brief rest, Ogata and the others took their sabers and rushed to the bandits' stronghold.

The little leader named Ohno had his hands tied behind his back tightly with a hemp rope, and he walked in front, leading the way for Ogata and the others.

Ogata walked behind Ohno, always on guard against Ohno, beware of Ohno escaping.

Ohno also knew Ogata's strength, so he didn't dare to make mistakes, and obediently led Ogata and others to their stronghold.

Soon, Ogata and others went deep into the vast snow mountain located in the south of the village.

While on their way, Ogata and the others also took a look at the nearby scenery, although there was nothing particularly beautiful about it.

There is snow under your feet, snow around you, and everything within your field of vision is snow.

Looking up, there are mountains nearby, and mountains in the distance.

The Ou area is indeed a mountainous place, no matter where you go, you can see continuous mountains.

The mountains of different shapes and poses are covered with snow. Under the sunlight, they reflect silver light. If you have never seen snow, you may be very excited to see the snow scene.But things like snow scenes are just like that if you watch too much.Since entering the Ou area, Ogata has been tired of watching the snow scene.

While letting Ono lead the way, Ogata and the others also continued to scrape more information from him, mainly asking for some details about their bandit.

According to Ono, their leader is Koizumi Seiichiro, who has superb swordsmanship and was once a low-level samurai of a certain domain.

After the "Tianming Famine" broke out, in order to reduce the financial burden, the feudal government deprived some of the samurai from their jobs and demoted them to ronin.

And their leader Koizumi happened to be one of the demoted ones, forced to leave the feudal kingdom where he grew up, and try to find a way out by himself.

Due to class attributes and other reasons, there are many jobs that do not recruit samurai at all.

So after becoming a ronin, because there are too few jobs to find, no matter what you do, you can't get rid of the plight of poverty.

About half a year ago, he finally decided to take the risk and become a bandit.

Gathered some ronin who were also destitute and almost unable to survive, and went to be road tyrants together, robbing passers-by of money.

The companions gathered by Koizumi basically had the same experience as him. After the outbreak of the "Tianming Famine", they were ruthlessly abandoned by the original loyal clan.

Ohno joined Koizumi at that time.

Ohno's previous experience was almost exactly the same as Koizumi's.

Ohno was also a low-level samurai of a certain feudal country, and after the famine that spread throughout the country, he was ruthlessly abandoned by the feudal government to reduce financial pressure and became a ronin.

After becoming a ronin, he also worked hard to make a living, but because there were too few jobs to find, he gradually fell into the predicament of starving to death.

After Koizumi found him and invited him to become a Road Hog together, in order to survive, Ohno nodded and agreed without hesitation.

So something very ironic happened like this:

When he was still a serious warrior, he worked hard wholeheartedly to serve the public, but he could only get a death salary that might not change for a lifetime. When disaster struck, he was ruthlessly discarded by the feudal government as a burden and garbage.

After becoming a ronin, he did not give up hope, and still worked hard to make a living, but it was difficult to change the predicament of poverty when many jobs did not recruit samurai at all.

After breaking the pot and deciding to be a villain, life immediately improved.

Show off the saber at your waist, and with a few words of intimidation, you can snatch money and food from passers-by.

If you are lucky, you can even grab a beautiful woman and have a good time.

At the beginning, there were only a few people under Koizumi's command.

Now there are so many wanderers in the Ou area who live in no fixed place. There is no shortage of fresh blood. As long as you can prove that you have led everyone to live a life of eating and drinking, there will be a large number of people who are willing to follow you and put their heads in their belts. superior.

As a result, the number of people gradually gathered more and more, and gradually developed into the current scale of more than 40 people.

After growing in scale, Koizumi began to be dissatisfied with being a road tyrant who only robbed passers-by of money.

He decides to rob the village with the big ticket.

So they chose this small village with a total population of less than 100.

This is the first time they have robbed a village, and they stumbled upon it without thinking

After telling the history of the establishment and development of their group of bandits, Ohno sneered, and then said to Ogata and others walking behind him:

"Since you will be hired by the farmers, you should all be wanderers who have no fixed homes and have no rest after eating this meal, right?"

Ono's words were full of certainty in his tone, as if he knew what the answer would be.

"So what?" Hosaka replied.

As soon as Kasaka finished speaking, Ono shrugged, and then sneered:

"It's nothing, I just feel that you are very strange, why do you want to help the farmers in that village?"

"I know that. That village is very poor, so it must not be able to provide any generous rewards."

"Did you choose to fight dozens of bandits for such a small reward? Don't you think you are stupid?"

"Why not be a thief like us? What a pleasure to be a thief."

"Heh." Jin Cheng laughed mockingly, "What? Are you proud of being a thief?"

"I'm really proud." Ohno's shoulders shook a few times because of his fake smile, "When I was a samurai who obeyed the rules and regulations, I dedicated myself to serving the public, but I could only receive a meager salary."

"When disaster strikes, they are ruthlessly abandoned."

After hearing Ohno's words, Tsuchiya pursed his lips uncontrollably.

It's like recalling some bad memories.

"After becoming a thief, my life is much more nourishing than before."

"In this world where being evil is more rewarding than being good, why am I not proud?"

"I've always prided myself on being a free-spirited thief."

Speaking of this, Ohno turned his head and looked at Ogata behind him.

"Hey, let me say, don't you ever think about becoming thieves together?"

Ono stared at Ogata with blazing eyes.

"Your swordsmanship is so superb, as long as you wave your arms, there will definitely be many ronin who are willing to respond to you, and then follow you to become bandits."

"Based on your swordsmanship, whether it's robbing villages or stealing money from passers-by, it must be easy."

"You can live a much better and more comfortable life than you have now"

Before Ohno could finish his sentence, Obiri cut his sharp gaze like a sword to him.

"To shut up."

Ogata said in a calm tone.

"I have no interest in being a thief."

"If you talk more nonsense, be careful that I will cut your tongue."

Ogata's gaze was so sharp that Ohno felt as if he had been stabbed.

After shrinking his neck in fear, Ohno didn't dare to say any more, he quickly turned his head back, not daring to look at Ogata again.

While turning his head back, Ohno curled his lips, a trace of resentment appeared in his eyes.

When it was close to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Ogata and the others saw from a distance a small hill in the distance rising from a row of cooking smoke.

Looking at the rising smoke, Ogata said in a low voice:

"Looks like we're here"

After getting closer to the bandits' stronghold, Ogata asked Ah-machi to climb up the big tree next to him to scout the bandits' stronghold from a distance.

A-cho, who has amazing eyesight, is simply a "walking telescope".

After climbing up a tree that was tall enough, A-Machi reported to the people under the tree what she could see with her eyes.

"Someone is guarding, but not many. As far as I can see, there are only five sentries."
