I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The latest website: Just now, Ogata and the villagers who were still able to take up arms to fight launched a hearty counterattack against the villagers of Qina Village.

After raising the heads of Vladimir and Alexei with spears, the morale of the group of Cossacks who saw that their general had their heads chopped off quickly plummeted.

After being chased by the crowd headed by Ogata, their morale, which had already been declining rapidly, finally fell to a freezing point, and then began to collapse.

The fighting spirit and morale of the Cossacks collapsed.

On the other hand, the morale of the villagers in Qina Village was high.

The villagers of Qina Village pursued the fleeing Cossacks with a mentality of revenge.

Morale is a very strange thing.

When morale is low, 10% of the strength may not be able to exert 30%.

And when the morale is high, 10% of the strength may be able to exert 150% of it.

The villagers of Qina Village, who were originally stunned by the muskets, have recovered their due state due to the high morale and fighting spirit.

Except for a small number of people, the vast majority of Cossacks just want to leave this ghost place quickly, and they don't even dare to turn their heads to look at the villagers who are chasing them.

Although these Cossacks were all riding horses and possessed extremely high mobility, facing the poisonous arrows shot by the villagers of Qina Village, they had to flee to a position where no one could shoot the poisonous arrows. It's safe now.

Moreover, these Cossacks had an additional weakness because they were riding horses.

That is - they are very easily implicated by their mounts.

Horses are much larger than people on horseback, so they are easier to shoot.

Therefore, the villagers of Qina Village did not shoot the man on the horseback, but the horse.

Just shoot the horse down and everything will be fine.

Falling off the horse, he was injured or killed.

And so—the poisonous arrows cut through the air, the horses were shot down, and the Cossacks fell from their horses one by one.

And Ogata also tried his best to attack the fleeing Cossacks in a "pursuing and beating" style.

But after all, Ogata only had one pair of feet and one pair of hands. No matter how good his sword skills were, it was impossible for him to kill all the fleeing Cossacks.

The same is true for the remaining villagers of Qina Village. They have already suffered a lot of casualties in the battle just now.

Although the morale of those who were still alive and able to fight was greatly increased, but because the number was still too small, all the Cossacks could not be kept here.

According to Ogata, there were about 20 Cossacks who escaped from the village from different directions.

From almost defeat to turning defeat into victory—this change made many villagers in Qina Village feel like they were dreaming.

But—joy is joy, but apart from joy, the villagers who can still stand still feel very heavy.

Those cries of pain and groans that sounded from all over the village told them that many of their compatriots were injured.

At the same time, many compatriots have lost the ability to cry out or moan in pain.

So after the battle was over, those who could still move without anyone's instruction, all acted spontaneously to find the injured people who were scattered all over the place.

On the other hand, Ogata followed some people to find the village chief of China Village, Chepke.

Chepke is their village chief and their backbone, and has high popularity in the village.

Since when, no one saw Chepke again, which made the villagers who respected Chepke anxious.

So some villagers decided to look for Chepke, and the first place they looked for was Chepke's home.

The main reason why Ogata followed these people to find their village chief was to meet that Chepke.

As the "guest generals" who helped them tonight, he and Ah Ding needed to meet the leader of China Village.

As soon as a group of people arrived at Chepke's door, they ran into Chepke, who was determined to risk his life to help his family escape, with a tragic expression as if he was going to the execution ground.

This is the first time Ogata met Chepke.

Ogata looked at Chepke in front of him.

His left shoulder seemed to be injured, and blood was constantly oozing out, and the entire left arm and the clothes on the left arm were stained red with blood.

Standing behind Chepke are a young man, a woman and a girl.

The man, probably in his early 30s, has facial features somewhat similar to Chepke's, so he should be Chepke's son.

In addition to this young man, the girl who looked about 10 years old was also somewhat similar to Chepke—it should be Chepke's granddaughter.

Ogata guessed that the plump woman should be Chepke's daughter-in-law.

After hearing the good news that all the Cossacks had been beaten away, Chepke and his party showed shocked and excited expressions without exception.

But I don't know if it was Ogata's illusion—after Chepke and the others heard the good news, apart from the expressions of shock and excitement, Chepke, his son, and his daughter-in-law also showed strange expressions.

Especially Chepke - his expression seemed to be a little stiff...

...

...

Chepke's mood...is complicated now.

Originally, he had already made up his mind to die, and said goodbye to his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. At the same time, I also told them all the things I had been afraid to say to my son and daughter-in-law before, so that I would have no regrets.

But now he told Chepke: They offended him, so he didn't have to die.

Chepke: ? ? ?

If it weren't for the "excitement" that the village was saved overwhelmed the "embarrassment", Chepke would definitely be blushing now because of embarrassment, and he didn't even know how to put his expression on.

Embarrassment is embarrassment, the emotion that Chepke feels the most now is excitement and excitement.

After Chepke quickly put away the strange expression on his face, he asked anxiously to the people in front of him:

"Are those white men really beaten away? (Ainu language)"

"Well! Only about 20 people ran away! (Ainu language)" a strong man said excitedly, "The rest were killed! (Ainu language)"

As soon as the strong man finished speaking, a woman added in the same excited tone:

"It's all thanks to the help of this person! (Ainu language)"

The woman pointed at Ogata.

Chepke looked at Ogata and Acho, who were quite unfamiliar to him.

"He and the woman next to him are the couple Aiyaka brought to our village today! (Ainu language)" A villager explained the identities of Ogata and Acho for the village chief, " At least 30 white-skinned men were killed by this Kazuto! (Ainu language)”

Aiyaka of Kuma Village brought a pair of Kazuto into their village today—this matter, Chepke knew about it when Ogata and the others first entered the village.

But because he was busy with meeting Skulucci and listening to the "important things" Skulucci said, Chepke never met Ogata and the others.

Whether it was Chepke, his son or daughter-in-law behind him, their eyes widened in surprise, their mouths opened wide, and they looked at Ogata with expressions as if they were looking at a rare animal.

"I just did what I can," Ogata said softly.

The young man standing next to Ogata happened to know Japanese.

As soon as Ogata's voice fell, he promptly translated Ogata's words to all those present who could not understand Japanese.

The translator had just finished translating what Ogata said just now, when a male voice familiar to Ogata and Atachi sounded from their sides.

"Mashima...Machi...you two are here...I finally found you."

"Aiyaka." Ogata exclaimed in a low voice.

The owner of this male voice is none other than Aiyaka.

Aiyaka, with a strong tired look on his face, walked slowly towards Ogata and the others.

The quiver behind him, which was originally full of arrows, now only had a few arrows left, and his every move was exhausted—you can imagine how fierce the battle he had just been through.

"Are you not hurt?" Ogata asked.

"Yeah." Aiyaka nodded, and then forced a faint smile, "I'm the most powerful hunter in Kuma Village, and I'm not so easy to get hurt."

"Not only was I not injured, but I also killed five people."

Seeing that Aiyaka was not injured, Ogata also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he and Aiyaka have only just met for a short time, Ogata has always been grateful and respectful to Aiyaka who has given him and Atachi a lot of help.

"2 Warriors. (Ainu)"

At this moment, Chepke suddenly looked at Ogata and Atachi with a serious face.

"What are your names, please? (Ainu language)"

The young man who knew Japanese standing beside Ogata quickly translated for Ogata.

Ogata: "My name is Goro Mashima."

"My name is Machi."

In order to cooperate with Chepke who can't speak Japanese, Ogata specially slowed down his name.

"Mashima... Goro... Machi..."

Chepke slowly lowered his head towards Ogata and Tomachi.

"Thank you. Thank you for your help. We will never forget your kindness. (Ainu language)"

After saying that, Chepke turned around and bowed his head deeply towards Aiyaka.

"Thank you too. Aiyaka. Kina Village will never forget the friendship with Kuma Village. (Ainu language)"

"You're welcome." Ogata said, "I said it just now, but I just did what I should do."

"and--"

Ogata turned his head to look east.

"Besides us, there are others helping you."

"Other people?" (Ainu language)" After listening to the translator's translation, Chepke cast a puzzled look at Ogata.

...

...

Back in time to just now——

"Damn! Damn!"

A Cossack kept spitting out all the dirty words in Lucian to vent his inner fear.

Boom!

Behind him came the sound of a huge heavy object falling to the ground, as well as the screams of people.

The Cossack knew it without looking back—the huge landing sound should be the sound of the horse falling to the ground, and the scream was the scream of the man on the horse who fell and ate shit because the horse fell to the ground.

He tilted his head slightly and glanced behind him.

Just now, there were 2 other people following him closely, and they ran away with him on horseback.

But now—there was no one behind him.

Those two people died because the horses were shot by poisonous arrows and fell to death, and the whole people fell to the ground together.

In the current situation, without a horse, it is basically certain death.

And he didn't intend to rescue those fallen companions.

Because he himself can't take care of himself now.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The scalp-numbing sound of sharp arrows piercing the air kept passing by the Cossack's ears.

He put his whole body on the horse's back to minimize the possibility of his body being shot, and at the same time kept praying to God that no poisoned arrows would hit his horse.

Low houses full of Ainu characteristics quickly passed by the Cossack.

Along the way, I also met many villagers from this village.

They didn't dare to stand in front of the galloping horse, they only dared to stand beside the road or on the roof, shooting at him with bows and arrows.

I don't know if his prayers worked,

At last—the Cossack turned into a road leading directly outside the village.

Looking forward, he could already see the vast snow field outside the village.

There are about 30 steps left outside the village.

He excitedly said to himself in his heart: Hurry up! Soon! Almost escaped.

The war horse under his crotch was already dripping with sweat, and every step he ran could shake off a lot of sweat beads.

But the Cossack didn't spare his mount, and lightly tapped the horse's belly again, trying to make the mount whose speed had been raised to the limit go faster, and further squeeze the mount's physical strength.

There are about 20 steps left outside the village.

The sound of arrows piercing the air passing by his side became more and more sparse.

While the sound of the arrows piercing the air became more and more sparse, the color of ecstasy also began to appear on the face of the Cossack little by little.

However—just 20 steps away from the village, the Cossack suddenly saw a figure appearing in front of him.

A figure leaped from the roof of a low house with agility.

This figure fell directly in front of the Cossack, on the only way the Cossack had to pass out of the village.

And this figure was none other than Ogata.

How many people have been beheaded tonight? Ogata didn't count, but he should definitely have at least 30 people.

He was now chasing the Cossacks who were trying to escape, and the number of beheads continued to climb.

A lot of blood was splashed all over his body, and he looked straight at the Cossack in front of him.

Then hand the Da Zi Zai in the left hand to the mouth, bite the handle of the knife with your mouth, and then hold the Da Shi Tian in your hands with both hands, slowly lift Da Shi Tian up, and switch to the upper posture.

Whether it is Da Shitian or Da Zizi, the blade is currently covered with blood and fat.

If he put the knife back into its sheath without cleaning it up, it would only take about 2 days for his scabbard to emit an unpleasant smell.

After 7 days, his scabbard will stink to such an extent that even A-Ming doesn't want to get close to him.

Facing Ogata who suddenly stood in front of him, the Cossack was stunned for a moment, then the ecstasy on his face slowly switched to ferocious and faint doubt.

The reason why he was puzzled was because he found that the guy standing in front of him was wearing Japanese clothes, holding a Japanese sword, and his facial features were completely different from those of the Ainu. He seemed to be a Japanese.

Due to the poor transmission of information, this Cossack, who was just the most ordinary member of the team, did not know that a Japanese suddenly appeared in this village, and their failure tonight was all thanks to this Japanese .

That's why he was so puzzled when he saw the Japanese suddenly appearing in front of him.

As for why he had a ferocious face...the reason is simple.

Now there was no fork in the road for him to take a detour around Ogata.

It is also impossible for him to turn the horse's head now, go back the same way, and change another way.

If you go back the same way, God knows if there will be any accidents.

The guy who was standing in front of him, holding the knife high, could tell at a glance that this well-dressed guy would definitely not let him go just like that.

So, the Cossack drew his saber, intending to forcefully break through Ogata's block.

The distance between him and Ogata was 7 steps.

Looking at the cavalry in front of him driving straight towards him, Ogata couldn't help but recall those cars in his previous life.

The oppressive feeling when the car is coming straight at you is very similar to the oppressive feeling Ogata is feeling now.

It can give people a feeling that "if I stay where I am, I will definitely be crushed".

Facing this unbearable sense of oppression for ordinary people, Ogata did not change his expression. He only silently maintained the upper stance of holding Da Shitian with both hands, stared at the Cossack in front of him, and silently calculated the distance between the enemy and us. .

The distance between Ogata and the Cossack was 3 steps left.

Ogata was calculating the distance, and the Cossack was also calculating the distance.

This Cossack knew—whether he could break through Ogata's block while keeping himself and the horse intact was related to his survival tonight.

He dared not charge Ogata with his horse.

The mount under his crotch was already panting.

In this exhausted state, let it go to collide with the enemy, maybe something unexpected will happen.

The horse is his life now, and he dare not gamble or expose his horse to any possible risk.

The Cossack held the saber tightly in his hand, sweat secreted from the palm of his hand due to tension, slightly moistening the handle of the knife.

Both sides measured the distance from each other, waiting for the best time to attack.

The distance between the two is only - 3 steps.

2 steps.

Ogata could already feel the breath coming out of the horse's nostrils and mouth.

1 step.

Both of them can clearly see each other's facial features.

0 steps!

They finally waited for their best time to attack.

The Cossack moved like cutting wheat, swiping his knife to cut Ogata's head.

Almost at the same time, Ogata chopped off the big Shitian holding high.

Da Shitian went from top right to bottom left, slanting towards the Cossack's saber.

Sakakibara's sword flow and water fall.

Cha Cha Cha Cha...

The two knives collided heavily in midair—then the winner was decided.

The strength of the Cossacks is far inferior to that of Ogata.

The moment the two knives collided, the knives in the Cossack's hand were directly squeezed away.

That's right, just squeeze it out.

The two knives rubbed sparks, and the Cossack's saber was pushed out of its original path.

However, Ogata's saber remained undiminished, and did not even deviate from the trajectory at all. After squeezing the saber away, it slashed straight at the person behind the saber.

laugh!

The sound of a knife cutting through flesh and blood resounded.

The front half of Da Shitian's blade directly swept across the Cossack's chest, cutting half of his chest open.

The horse continued to carry the Cossack forward, and passed by Ogata.

However, the horse hadn't gone a few steps, and the Cossack on his back fell off the horse like a limp noodle, and fell into the snow without making a sound.

And the horse continued to run straight ahead on its own.

Swish!

Ogata took off Da Zizai who was biting on his mouth, then swung Da Shitian down hard, and the blood that fell from the sword was sprinkled like plum blossoms in the snow.

After beheading the Cossack who was about to flee the village, Ogata didn't listen and take a breath, and used the Shiranui-ryu stealth technique to jump up to the low house next to him, continuing to look for the Cossack.

Ogata, who was standing on the low roof, moved his eyes quickly, looking for the person on the horse.

Cossacks are not hard to find, just look for the one on the horse.

--Ok?

At this time, Ogata was suddenly stunned.

Ogata is now located in the northeast corner of the village, and you can see the east and north of the village.

Only then did he realize that there was a group of people on horseback in the east of the village.

Although the distance was a bit far away, Ogata could vaguely see - there was a man on horseback among the group.

And this one had bright red hair.

—Scruzzi...? what are they doing?

Ogata saw that the group of them were all holding guns, and several of them aimed their guns at the village.

Ogata was just wondering why Skulucci and the others stayed outside the village, and someone immediately answered for Ogata.

Two Cossacks fled from the east of the village on horseback.

However, as soon as the two of them left the village, gunpowder smoke rose from Skulucci's side.

Afterwards, the two Cossacks who had just left the village got off their horses one by one and stopped moving.

——Skulucci...is he helping China Village...

...

...

"Boss Skulucci!" Afjay shouted to Skulucci beside him, "They seem to be running away!"

"Yeah." Scruucci nodded lightly, "I see."

Just now, Skulucci followed the binoculars and saw with his own eyes how Ogata single-handedly decapitated Vladimir and Alexei.

Then, together with a group of villagers who came suddenly, they put the heads of Vladimir and Alexei on the spears, and then rushed to other places.

After seeing Ogata successfully decapitating Vladimir and Alexei, Ogata knew - Vladimir and the others were finished.

A battle that can be won even when the general has already been killed—Skulucci has never seen it before.

Sure enough—more and more subordinates of Vladimir and Alexei fled from the village on horseback in a panic.

Their panic-stricken appearance made it hard to imagine that these people were the same group as the group who just wantonly killed the villagers of Qina Village.

There were also some people who were too flustered and fled in the direction where Skulucci and the others were, without looking at the road.

This kind of behavior of hitting the muzzle of the gun, the result is naturally - being shot to death by Skulucci and the others.

"Are we going to go after those who fled in other directions?" Afjah asked.

"I fucking want to chase them too." Scruucci shrugged with a smile, "But if it's impossible to catch up, let them escape."

Those who fled in other directions, because they all rode horses, so even if they rode to catch up, they were unlikely to catch up.

"Boss Skulucci..." Afjay said to Skulucci in a worried tone, "Let so many people escape... I'm worried that they will report us to attack our compatriots..."

"Many of those who managed to escape may have seen you leading us to shoot them with rifles..."

"What are you afraid of!" Scruucci smiled fearlessly, "Whether those people can survive in this barren mountain and wild forest is a problem when they lose their organization."

"Even if they did survive and sue us—do they have evidence?"

After all, Scruucci let out a sneer with a hint of mockery.

If he was afraid that survivors would sue him, he would not have brought Afjay and the others to support the villagers in Qina Village.

After finishing the brief conversation with Afja, Skulucci continued to concentrate on observing the situation of the village with the binoculars.

As he was scanning around with the binoculars, he suddenly spotted Ogata.

He happened to see Ogata beheading the Cossack who was almost leaving the village.

Then I saw Ogata climbing up to the roof to check the situation.

Then he saw Ogata looking towards them, as if he had spotted them.

Through the binoculars, he clearly saw Ogata's puzzled face facing him.

A faint smile appeared on Skulucci's face.

Scruucci put down the binoculars in his hand, and bowed his head to Ogata far away.

Then he continued to look in the direction of Ogata with meaningful eyes.

"Boss Scruucci!"

Afja's voice sounded again abruptly.

"Those guys are basically going to run away. After they run away, what should we do next?"

"What to do?" Scruzzi shrugged, "Remove the guns, rein in the horse, and return to camp."

"Is that so?" Afjay widened his eyes.

"Then what do you want?" Scruucci put on a joking tone, "Riding on a horse, like a general returning in triumph, striding into the village that has just been bullied by a group of our compatriots?"

"We have consumed a lot of bullets tonight..." Afjay muttered, "We are now far in the Far East, and it is very difficult to resupply..."

"It's hard to replenish things like ammunition..."

"We spent so much effort to help them, we should exchange something valuable with the Ainu in that village..."

"Don't worry about it!" Skulucci smiled, "The Ainu people in this village must be busy treating those injured tonight, and they definitely don't have the time and energy to take care of us."

"Go back to the camp tonight and get a good night's sleep, and we'll talk about the rest later!"

...

...

Back in time to the present—

After telling Chepke briefly and concisely what he had just witnessed that Skulucci led his people to help China Village, Chepke showed a complicated expression.

"Is it true... that white-skinned man with red hair really came to help us with his men... (Ainu)"

Chepke's current expression is so complicated that it is difficult to describe it in words.

He couldn't help recalling their not-so-friendly attitude towards Skulucci when they met this afternoon. When he thought about it, the expression on Chepke's face became more complicated...

"The village chief! The village chief! (Ainu)"

Suddenly, an anxious shout came from not far away, attracting the attention of Chepke and others.

Is a young girl.

The girl rushed to Chepke anxiously, and said to Chepke in a tone that seemed to be about to cry:

"Village chief! There are so many injured people! We may not have enough medicine! Let's go to other villages for help! (Ainu language)"

As soon as the girl's voice fell, the faces of Chepke and the others suddenly became ugly.

...

...

When it comes to beheading people, Ogata is a master with both experience and technique.

But when it comes to saving people, Ogata is helpless.

The same is true of A-cho, both of them are people who have no knowledge of medicine.

The only medical skill that Ogata knows is to apply saliva to the wound.

The village doctor of Qina Village is still alive-this is really a blessing in misfortune.

Although it can't help much in terms of treatment. But assist the villagers who can still move around to find out the injured villagers, and then carry them to the village doctor-this kind of thing, Ogata and Atachi can still do it.

The two of Ogata and the others... especially Ogata, now hold an unusually high status in the hearts of the villagers of Qina Village.

Anyone with a little brain knows that the reason why they were able to repel those white-skinned men was all thanks to the help of this person.

Without the help of this Heren, those white-skinned men must have held a "celebration banquet" in their village by now, and then wantonly abused the women in their village.

When they saw Ogata and A-Machi helping them to find and transport the injured, the villagers quickly stopped them, saying that there was no need for this and they wanted to let Ogata and A-Machi rest well.

In the imagination of the villagers, Ogata should be very tired now. After all, nearly half of all the white-skinned men who fell to the ground were beheaded by Ogata.

Facing the kindness of the villagers, Ogata only declined with a smile.

Although he was indeed a little tired, and his physical strength would be consumed rapidly in the "Non-Self State", Ogata was not so tired that he couldn't even move.

Anyway, in the eyes of Ogata, helping the villagers to find and transport the injured villagers is just a trivial matter, so Ogata decided to send the Buddha to the west, and also help this little favor.

The number of injured people far exceeded Ogata and Chepke's imagination.

It wasn't until the sky was slightly bright that they finally cleaned the whole village.

All the injured were located and transported to the village doctor.

The corpses of the Cossacks were randomly thrown into a group, intended to be cremated directly afterwards.

As for the dead villagers—their bodies were carefully laid down, and funerals were held for them later.

China Village is a village with a little more people than Kuma Village.

Even after the "disappearance incident", there are still 209 villagers in Qina Village.

However, after the fierce fighting last night, more than half of the population in Qina Village was killed or injured... 39 people were killed and 67 were injured.

Although they were victorious, the number of casualties told everyone a cold fact—this bloody and tragic victory.

...

...

Qina Village, the treatment area for the wounded——

The so-called rescue area for the wounded was actually an open space in the village.

Because there are too many wounded, they can only be placed in an open space.

"Uripaxi." Chepke whispered to a middle-aged man in front of him who was crouching next to a wounded man and bandaging the wounded man, "How's the situation?"

The middle-aged man named "Uri Paxi" is the only village doctor in China Village.

He is both a village doctor and an excellent hunter.

He also participated in the fierce fight last night.

And very lucky to survive, and not even a little injury.

I have to say - this is really a blessing in misfortune.

If even Uripahi was seriously wounded or died, there would be no one to heal so many wounded.

As soon as Chepke finished his sentence, Uripahi happened to have wrapped up the villager who was cut with a saber in front of him with a clean cloth.

Uripahi stood up slowly, and then winked at Chepke: Let's go where no one is.

Chepke, who understood the meaning of Uripaxi's eyes, nodded, then followed Uripaxi and walked quickly away from the rescue area.

Uripahi sighed heavily after walking all the way to a place where the wounded in the treatment area could not see them and there was no one else around.

"Pretty bad..."

"There are too many injuries...the medicines in the village are not enough..."

"And... Chepke, let me tell you the truth."

Uripahi put on a serious tone.

"I don't know how to treat those who are wounded by the white men's muskets."

"I've never treated this type of injury before."

"How to get those round things out of the body, and what medicine to give them, I don't know at all..."

After quietly listening to Uripaxi's words, Chepke fell silent.

After a while, he sighed heavily.

He had no intention of blaming Uripahi for not being able to heal a gunshot wound.

Chepke would be surprised if Uripaxi could heal the wound he received from the musket.

Although they knew what a musket was, they had never been attacked by a musket before.

"...Chepke, should we try to seek help from the 'Heyezhe' people?" Uripaxi said softly, "The 'Heyezhe' people have muskets, and their doctors might know how to treat them A man wounded by a musket."

As soon as Uripaxi finished speaking, Chepke shook his head quickly.

"No. 'Heyezhe' is too far away from us. It would take several days to send someone to fetch their doctor, even by dog ​​sled."

"Also, the muskets used by the 'Heyezhe' people are very different from those used by the white-skinned men."

"I don't think their doctors will treat the wounded by those white men's muskets..."

Speaking of this, Chepke sighed heavily again.

"I have sent people to get medicine and doctors from villages that are closer to us and have a better relationship with our Qina village."

"Uripaxi, please continue to focus on treating the injured as best you can."

"The rest, I'll find a solution..."

"En." Uripaxi nodded lightly, and then quickly returned to the treatment area.

And Chepke also quickly left from where he was.

Before he had gone far, Chepke saw a one-armed middle-aged man walking towards him.

"Manakr. How's the situation?" Chepke asked.

Manaker can be regarded as one of Chepke's right-hand men.

After the battle last night, Chepke sent Manaker to manage and arrange for the villagers who died in the fierce fighting last night.

Facing the question thrown by Chepke, Manaker nodded lightly:

"I put all the dead bodies in the house."

"Four rooms are fully filled..."

After all, Manaker and Chepke walked side by side.

"It's so miserable..."

Manaker sighed in a mournful tone.

"Why do we always suffer from such unreasonable disasters..."

"That's right..." Chepke lowered his head, "Why do such unreasonable disasters always happen to us..."

First there was the "disappearance incident", and now there is another "attacked by white men".

The previous "disappearance incident" had reduced a large number of young and strong men in their village.

And now a large number of villagers have been killed and injured...

"There are already very few young men in our village..." Manaker said with a wry smile, "Now there are a lot of casualties..."

"There are so many men missing... I don't know how people in other villages will treat us..."

Among the still primitive tribal Ainu, population is everything.

Basically, the tribe with more young males was richer and more powerful - and vice versa.

Villages with few young men are often bullied and looked down upon by people from other villages.

Although many women in their Qina village have picked up bows and arrows, and have done the work that should be done by men - but the physical strength and strength of women are still no match for men.

"Chepke, I've done the math." Manaker continued, "There are only 41 men in our village who are between 14 and 40 years old..."

"This also includes those who were injured last night and are still awaiting treatment."

"If some of them are not rescued and die, this number will continue to decrease..."

"If we don't want other villages or others to look down on us and bully us, we have to find a way to increase the number of young men in our village..."

"I see..." Chepke couldn't remember how many times he sighed.

After sighing, Chepke stopped where he was.

He lowered his head and looked pensive.

I just don't know what I'm thinking about.

"village head!"

At this time, Chepke suddenly heard a loud young male voice.

Chepke followed the sound - it was Aiyaka.

Aiyaka walked quickly towards Chepke.

"Village Chief, I finally found you." Aiyaka said quickly, "It's dawn now, and I plan to set off now."

"I will return to Kuma Village as soon as possible and bring back our village doctor from Kuma Village."

"I'll probably be back this evening."

Last night, when he learned that there were too many wounded patients in China Village and that the medicine was not enough, Aiyaka, who was born in Kuma Village, who had a good relationship with China Village, agreed to Chepke without hesitation:

After dawn tomorrow, he will return to Kuma Village as soon as possible to bring back their medicine and village doctor from Kuma Village.

Seeing that Aiyaka came to say goodbye to them, Chepke nodded vigorously with emotion.

"Thank you, Aiyaka."

"Well. Then the village chief, I'll go first."

After saying that, Aiyaka turned around, ready to stride away, and returned to Kuma Village on a dog sled alone.

However, just as he turned around, Chepke suddenly called out to him.

"By the way, Aiyaka. I have a question for you."

"Huh? What's the problem?"

"What's the relationship between that Mashima and that girl named Machi?"

"Village chief, why are you asking this?" Aiyaka asked back.

"Nothing, just a little curiosity."

"They are husband and wife." Aiyaka replied.

...

...

Chepke only asked this one question, and then let Aiyaka leave.

Looking at Aiyaka's leaving figure, Chepke pursed his lips tightly.

Then he asked Manaker beside him abruptly:

"Manakr... I just thought of it."

"I want to make other villages or other people look down on us and bully us. In addition to increasing the number of young men."

"We can also try to make some very powerful young men into our village..."

"For example...that Mashima..."
