Volume 2 The Executioner Chapter 102: More than 100 one-on-one matches (Part 2)
Although the samurai's previous slash did not succeed in injuring Ogata, it did cut through Ogata's haori and kimono, revealing the chain mail underneath.
This fight to the death with more than 100 samurai as opponents is bound to be a fierce fight and will be a great test of Ogata's physical strength.
So in order to reduce the consumption of physical energy as much as possible, Ogata simply did not defend against attacks that would not hurt him.
For example, the samurai's slash just now was aimed at the abdomen protected by the chain mail, so Ogata simply ignored his attack and let him slash.
"It's chain mail! He's wearing chain mail!"
"Don't slash! Stab!"
"Cut his limbs! And his face and neck! There's no armor protecting those parts of his body!"
…
…
"How awful..." Nanahara muttered, "You really lack practical experience... You deserve to be killed."
In Nanahara's eyes - these guards foolishly tried to chop Ogata's torso, which was a manifestation of their lack of practical experience.
When it is impossible to determine whether the enemy is wearing armor, priority should be given to attacking areas that are visible to the naked eye and where the enemy has no protection - this is the experience that Nanahara learned after many life-and-death battles.
This was also one of the reasons why Ichiro and his men were quickly defeated when they besieged Nanahara just now - Nanahara, who was experienced in actual combat, did not attack the torsos of Ichiro and his men at all, but directly chopped their heads and necks.
…
…
Ogata ignored the shouts of the samurai reminding each other that he was wearing chain mail, but instead moved his gaze and quickly glanced at the two samurai on his left and right.
Ogata noticed that the positions of the two warriors were perfect for him to use the flow to kill them both at once.
Therefore, without too much hesitation, Ogata swung the two swords in his hands, spinning like a top, using the flow of Muga Nito-Ryu to kill the two samurai who accidentally entered his attack range, then he took another step and started running.
…
…
"Wow~" Matsudaira Gennai stretched out his voice and sighed strangely, "This guy is quite powerful. He has already cut down so many people."
Matsudaira Gennai's tone was neither hurried nor slow.
When he said "So many people have been chopped down", he still had a casual attitude, as if those who had been chopped down to the ground by Ogata had nothing to do with him.
"This Ogata is very smart." Nanahara on the side echoed, "He knows that when facing a one-on-many situation, he should use the terrain to create a one-on-one opportunity... It seems that he has experience in a one-on-many situation, or has practiced in a one-on-many situation."
"At the same time, his swordsmanship is indeed superb. In my opinion, no one among the guards except me can defeat him in a one-on-one situation."
"but……"
At this point, Nanahara changed the subject.
"That Ogata...can't hold out for much longer."
Nanahara narrowed his eyes slightly and observed Ogata's breathing carefully.
"His breathing has started to become rapid."
"Running while looking for opportunities to kill the enemy - this consumes a lot of physical energy."
"Oh?" After learning from Nanahara that Ogata's physical strength had been severely depleted, Matsudaira Gennai raised his eyebrows and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"That guy is almost dying... Well then - let me boost ."
"Nanhara, put your ear over here."
"I will repeat what I am going to say next loudly to everyone later."
…
…
The system sound in my mind almost never stops.
Ogata's mind was already extremely tense, and he no longer had the time or energy to listen to how much experience points he had gained or what level he had reached.
He was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
If he slackens even a little, Ogata might get injured or even die.
Relying on the source of breathing, he took a big breath of air again.
When the cool air passed through Ogata's throat, a sharp pain immediately spread through his throat.
Ogata now felt his throat was dry.
At first, Ogata was able to slightly moisten his throat with his own saliva.
And now, Ogata's mouth was so dry that he couldn't even spit out a drop of saliva.
After using the two-sword style of Muga to successfully kill another samurai who pounced on him, a loud shout suddenly came over him.
"Everyone listen to me!"
This was Nanahara's loud shout.
Qiyuan's loud shout immediately attracted the attention of most of the guards.
"My lord has just given the order!"
"Whoever takes down Ogata Issei's head will receive a reward of 30 taels!"
"Whoever obtains a slice of Ogata Issei's meat will receive a reward of 1 tael!"
Ogata had just been running, dodging, and killing.
Ogata's superb swordsmanship frightened many guards.
His posture of having killed dozens of their companions in a row had already made many people feel timid and shrink back.
But after hearing Qiyuan's shout, their eyes changed instantly.
The huge benefits that suddenly appear in front of people can make people lose their calm and their original judgment.
It is easy for people to have the illusion that if everyone attacks together, it will be easy to fish in troubled waters and take the enemy's head in the chaos.
As long as everyone attacked together, even if the rest were knocked down, they might still be able to stand to the end and become the ultimate winner - almost all the guards had this kind of fantasy that they didn't know how to evaluate.
Their eyes at this moment were filled with intense greed.
“Go ahead!!”
"His head is mine!!"
"30 taels are mine!!"
The morale of the surviving guards was boosted just by Nanahara's simple words.
One by one, they transformed into drooling jackals and pounced on Ogata.
"That's it!!" A look of intoxication appeared on Matsudaira Gennai's face. "That's right! Kill! Kill! Kill them happily!!"
For Matsudaira Gennai, this amount of money used to reward the guards was just a small amount.
Just by spending this little money, you can see a more exciting show - in Matsudaira Gennai's eyes, it is really worth it.
…
…
"go to hell!!"
A samurai on each side swung his sword towards Ogata.
The force was so strong that it seemed as if it could split Ogata in half in one breath.
Although their movements were fast, Ogata's were even faster than theirs.
He jumped back half a step nimbly, then swung the two swords in his hands and chopped down the two warriors to the ground.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Ogata had just dealt with two samurai when another very noisy samurai came towards him, waving his sword.
The warrior swung the sword in his hand, creating flashes of light.
The samurai intended to rely on his sword speed to overpower Ogata.
clang!
Even though the samurai's sword was very fast, Ogata was able to see through his moves.
No matter how fast the sword dances, there is only one sword.
He used the wakizashi to perform the hanbaku to deflect the samurai's sword, and then killed the samurai with his katana.
Before Ogata could catch his breath, a sharp pain suddenly came from his thigh.
Just because - he was stabbed in the thigh.
While Ogata was focusing his energy and attention on other people, a samurai sneaked up from behind and slashed Ogata's left thigh which was not protected by armor.
Blood flowed out from Ogata's wound, staining his hakama red.
