I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"! Glory to His Majesty the Tsar!"

"! I'm Scruucci's friend!"

"Excellent!"

A middle-aged man with a big belly clapped his hands vigorously.

"Skulucci! This armor really suits you very well! With your current heroic appearance, Gawain, a knight under the King of Knights who is known for his demeanor and handsomeness, should not compare to you!"

Skulucci stroked his red hair, which is more common in Scotland:

"Boss Alexander, I didn't expect you to seem to have a good understanding of our Scottish Celtic mythology."

"I like Celtic music!" The middle-aged fat man who put his legs on the long table in front of him made a gesture of playing the flute, "I like your Celtic bagpipes very much! Because I like your Celtic music, so by various chances and coincidences, I also learned about some of your Celtic myths."

"I'm still quite interested in the story of King Arthur in Celtic mythology."

"That's a damn coincidence." Scruucci shrugged. "I know Celtic myths all too well!"

"Especially the story of King Arthur, the knight king. I know it so well that I can recite it backwards."

"Boss Alexander, if you are interested in the future, we can have a good chat about mythology!"

After joking with this fat middle-aged man named "Alexander" for a while, Skulucci returned to the topic:

"I thought this pair of armor might be some kind of useless iron, but I didn't expect it to be a good thing with both beauty and practicality."

"This steel is not ordinary steel, it is really a good armor."

After that, Scruucci raised his hand and patted the breastplate of his upper body a few times.

At this moment, Skulucci was wearing a set of armor and a blue and gold southern barbarian body.

After parting with Ogata, Skulucci led his subordinates to his superior, the potbellied middle-aged man sitting in front of Skulucci, in order to rest the team and to have a good winter: Aleksandr Mikhailnovich Daninovsky's residence, join him.

After the rendezvous, during these days, in order to pass the daily boring time, Skulucci often drank, chatted and farted with his superior.

Although Scruucci didn't like this boss very much, Alexander was the kind of person who didn't get bored talking to him, so Scruucci liked to chat with him.

The two have been chatting since noon until now, and they don't even know how many bottles they have drunk.

Alexander, who was very excited about chatting with Skulucci, took out this set of armor he bought a while ago on a whim to show off to Skulucci, and let Skulucci, whose body size matches this set of armor, Lu Qi came to try on the armor.

Alexander has a strange collection of weapons. For those weapons that he is interested in, he can often spend a jaw-dropping amount of money to buy the armor that Scruucci is wearing now. After Alexander came to the Far East to explore, Bought from a merchant with 10 precious Don horses.

The Don River horse, a breed of horse called the "strongest war horse", is not generally expensive.

Trading 10 Don hippopotamuses for a suit of armor would probably be considered stupid by most people.

Scruucci originally thought so too.

But now after trying on this suit of armor and experiencing the performance of this suit of armor for himself, Skulucci discovered that this set of armor is so expensive, and there is still a reason why it is so expensive.

This set of armor not only looks very good, but the steel used is not ordinary steel, so it has excellent protection performance. Ordinary swords and arrows should not be able to break through the defense of this set of armor.

"It's really a good set of armor. I'm a little bit greedy."

After another compliment, Scruucci began to take off this set of armor.

Alexander let out a hearty laugh:

"It's a pity that this is not the era of armor!"

"The armor is useless on the European battlefield now."

"From now on, the armor may completely become people's collectibles."

After sighing, Alexander waved at Scruucci who had already taken off his armor.

"Come on, let's continue drinking! I specially took out my herring collection today. If you don't eat it all, it will be wasted!"

"Today's drink is really a veritable ppr." Skulucci sat down in front of Alexander again, and continued to speak in a half-joking tone, "I almost forgot the last time I ate herring like this to my heart's content. When did it happen?"

"Don't speak Latin, Scruzzi," said Alexander gruffly. "I don't know Latin, you know."

at this time

"Master Dofnar! Lord Dofnar!"

A call to Scruucci suddenly sounded outside the camp.

"What's the matter?" Scruucci turned his head to look outside the tent.

"My lord Dorfnar! A man has come to us! He keeps shouting that the Tsar's Majesty and I are friends of Scruucci."

"Is he your friend?"

"And people?" Scruucci raised his eyebrows vigorously, and then stood up quickly.

Scrooge made it as fast as he could to the northeast of the camp.

Soon, he saw from a distance a young man in the dust, leading a horse, standing silently and waiting under the guard of several sentries.

"Mr. Mashima!" Scruzzy, with a strong look of doubt on his face, sped up his pace a little.

Looking at Scruucci who was walking towards him, the young Kazuto or Ogata showed a faint smile.

"Skulucci, long time no see."

"It's true that we haven't seen each other for a while." Skulucci, who walked quickly to Ogata, patted Ogata's chest, "Why are you here?"

"It's a long story," Ogata said in a deep voice, "In short, I have something to ask for your help.

Skulucci shook his eyebrows: "Come in first. Go to my tent and talk slowly."

: Skulucci's ppr is Latin, meaning "delicacy from mountains and seas".In order to make the dialogue between Scruucci and Alexander more European, I decided to apply the characters in the popular and common European stalks from time to time and pop out some Latin words from time to time.

Scruzzy's tent—

Ogata gently shook the wine glass in his hand, which was half full of wine.

This is the wine that Scruucci had just given him.

According to Skulucci, this is the strong wine that the Cossacks often use to drive away the cold. Drinking a cup can not only dispel the cold in the body, but also relieve the fatigue of the body a little.

Since leaving Red Moon Fortress, except for sleeping and necessary rest, Ogata was almost on his way.

Sometimes, in order to save time, even meals are settled on the horse - eating dry food while riding the horse.

Ogata is really tired now because he has been living a life of eating and sleeping in the open air these days and hasn't had a good rest.

He raised his glass and took a few sips.

The hot drink reminded Ogata of Genichi's masterpiece - "Oolong Tea".

However, after this hot drink rolled down the esophagus into the stomach, it really did what Scruucci said just now—it could not only dispel the chill, but also relieve fatigue.

After a few sips of wine fell to the ground, Ogata became a little more energetic.

"What a messy tent..." After putting down his wine glass, Ogata looked around.

Skulucci's camp reminded Ogata of the garbage dump in his previous life - so messy that there were only a handful of places to step down.

Now that the master Skulucci is not here, Ogata is too embarrassed to walk around and look around, so he can only continue to sit obediently.

Compared with ordinary people, Ogata has one more thing to pass the time than ordinary people-checking his personal system interface.

[Current personal level: LV38 (4780/6000)]

[Sakakibara Ichikatsu level: 13th stage (8515/12000)]

[Nugo Two Swords Level: 12 Stages (2860/14000)]

[Shiranui Ninjutsu Level: 8th Stage (6990/7500)]

[Remaining skill points: 4 points]

Recently, fierce battles have been fought one after another, first attacking the camp of the First Army, and then breaking through the blockade of the Shogunate Army.

The overwhelming battles made Ogata's experience points of each experience bar increase rapidly.

The level of Wuwo Two Swords was successfully promoted to level 12, allowing Ogata to add 2 skill points.

Counting the 2 skill points saved originally, Ogata now has a total of 4 skill points.

"Upgrading is getting more and more difficult..."

After whispering a sentence of emotion that he would basically send out every time he checked the personal system interface, Ogata closed the interface silently.

As soon as the interface was closed, the footsteps that he had been waiting for silently from just now finally sounded outside the tent:

"Sorry sorry for keeping you waiting."

Scruucci carelessly lifted the curtains of the tent and entered the tent.

"I just went to say goodbye to my chief, but I didn't expect it to take a lot longer than expected..."

"Farewell?" Ogata asked suspiciously.

"Before you came, I was chatting with my officer." Scruucci replied, "So before I talk to you slowly, I have to tell my officer first to ask him to put away all the drinks and appetizers." Put it away first, and then eat together slowly."

"...Sorry." Ogata said in an apologetic tone, "My sudden visit has caused you trouble."

Skulucci waved his hand boldly: "It's okay. I'm even happier that you came to me. In this way, I will have someone more to chat with."

"Alright, let's get to the point, Mashima-kun."

"You said you need my help, what? If it's something I can do, I'm happy to help."

After that, Scruucci sat down on a hammock in front of Ogata.

"What I'm going to say next...may scare you." Ogata said slowly, "So please be mentally prepared."

"I'm a Cossack who is used to strong winds and waves." Skulucci showed a free and easy smile, "No matter what happens, it won't scare me."

……

……

10 minutes later—

"...Excuse me, Mashima-kun, can you give me some time to slow down?"

After all, without waiting for Ogata's reply, Skulucci raised his broad right hand, covered his entire face, and kneaded his temples on both sides with his thumb and middle finger.

Ogata remained silent, silently waiting for Scruucci to recover.

After several minutes passed, Skulucci finally let go of his hands kneading his temples.

"I understand what you mean..."

"To put it simply... do you want to invite me to help you repel the Japanese army that is now surrounding the Red Moon Fortress?"

Ogata nodded.

"The reward is half of the property in the Red Moon Fortress, and a favor between you and the Ainu people in the Red Moon Fortress."

Ogata nodded again.

After asking these two questions, Scruucci buried his hand in his right palm again, kneading his temple with his thumb and middle finger.

"Has Japan actually sent troops to attack the Red Moon Fortress... Is that really the case..."

"Really?" Ogata asked in a puzzled tone.

Scruucci lifted his face from his palms:

"Mashima-kun, after I parted from you and I led my subordinates here to meet my chief, I heard from my chief that Japan dispatched a large-scale army to go deep into Ezo."

"But I don't know where the Japanese army is going to attack."

"At that time, I guessed that the target of the Japanese army was most likely the Red Moon Fortress."

Scruucci picked up a glass of wine next to him and took a big gulp.

"The place where the fortress is located is a treasure land."

"Not only is it located in a dangerous location, but it is also extremely rich in resources. If you need water, you need water, if you need wood, you need wood, if you need flat land, you need flat land, and if you need prey, you need prey."

"And we Cossacks learned through the intelligence network a year ago that Japan will vigorously develop Ezo."

"If Ezo Land is to be developed on a large scale, this Red Moon Fortress with an extremely important geographical location cannot be ignored no matter what."

"Moreover—if it's just to attack Ainu villages, or to deal with us Cossacks, there is no need to dispatch such a large-scale army."

"In the entire Ezo land, the only ones worthy of Japan's dispatch of such a large army are the Ainu people sitting in that fortress."
