Volume 7: Unkamuyi Chapter 487: Want to compete with Ogata in terms of kill count and swordsmanship?
The horse's belly was cut open by Ogata with a huge hole, and even its intestines and other internal organs were spilling out. Naturally, it was impossible for it to stand up again.
It fell heavily to the ground.
The Cossack on horseback was unable to get off the horse in time because his right leg was injured by Ogata.
So - he fell heavily to the ground along with the horse under him.
The Don horses used by the Cossacks were so big that their weight would naturally not be light.
Kara.
A crisp sound of bones breaking was heard.
The horse fell to the left, directly crushing the Cossack's other intact left leg.
A scream burst out of the Cossack's throat, as if to bring his own voice to the fore.
Ogata was not in a hurry to finish off this guy who had lost his ability to fight, but instead rushed towards the third Cossack in front of him.
The man now knew that it was too late to escape, so he drew the saber from his waist, determined to fight Ogata to the death.
The sword used by the Cossacks is officially called "Chasik saber".
The overall length of the Chasik saber is shorter than that of the Japanese katana.
The total length of a Japanese katana from the tip of the blade to the base of the handle is generally over 1 meter.
The total length of the Chasik saber used by the Cossacks was only about 90 cm.
The Cossack held the reins with his left hand, held the saber with his right hand, stepped on the stirrup to gain leverage, and chopped at Ogata's head.
Ogata was 1.7 meters tall - this height made him a very convenient target for the Cossacks riding on Don horses, which were generally over 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder.
For the Cossacks who like to use sabers, enemies who are too short are the most troublesome - because if the enemy is too short, it is not convenient to chop them.
The Cossack's Chasik saber rang in the wind.
clang!
A sound like that of a blacksmith hammering iron was heard.
Of course - at this time and place, it is impossible for there to be a blacksmith who has the leisure to forge iron.
This was the sound of Ogata using his great power of freedom to parry the Cossack's Chasik saber.
The moment he used his blade to parry the man's knife, Ogata's right hand, which was holding the Daishikuten, moved.
Ogata turned the blade of Daishakuten and aimed the tip at the Cossack's right abdomen.
Sakakibara Ittoryu - Torashi.
laugh!
The Great Shitian transformed into a silver-white stream of light, poured into the Cossack's right abdomen, penetrated his stomach and chest, and pierced out from his left collarbone.
The entire upper body was penetrated vertically - this was a fatal injury that left him with no time to even scream.
Sure enough, after twitching a few times, the Cossack vomited blood, his eyes rolled up, and he completely stopped breathing.
[Ding! Use Sakakibara's sword style, Bird Thorn, to kill the enemy.]
[Gained 110 personal experience points, 110 sword skills experience points for Sakakibara Ittoryu, and 20 sword skills experience points for Mugu Two-Sword Style]
[Current personal level: Lv37 (3280/5800)]
[Sakakibara Ittoryu Level: 13th Rank (4255/12000)]
[Mutual Dual Blade Level: 11th Stage (9990/12000)]
From just now on, the system prompt sound that had not sounded in Ogata's mind for a long time kept ringing in Ogata's mind.
Ogata pulled the Great Shakuten out of the man's body, and a large amount of blood immediately spurted out from the two wounds that penetrated the man's front and back.
Long before the blood spurted out, Oobian took a step forward and stood aside to avoid the spraying blood.
Although only less than two years have passed since Ogata traveled through time.
But in less than two years, even with the most conservative estimates, Ogata has killed more than 300 people.
After a career of killing countless people, Ogata gradually figured out some tips on "avoiding the blood spurting from the enemy's body."
Before the lifeless Cossack slid off his horse, Ogata transferred the Daijizai from his left hand to his right hand, and then used his free left hand to snatch the Chasik saber from the Cossack's hand.
Holding the Chasik saber in his hand, Ogata immediately felt the difference between it and the Japanese sword.
Although the blade of the Chasik saber is curved like that of the Japanese sword, the center of gravity of the two is completely different.
The center of gravity of the Chasik saber is further back, and the center of gravity of the Chasik saber is close to the handle.
This design makes it easy to swing and can use inertia to kill enemies.
After snatching the saber from the Cossack, Ogata used the saber as a dart and threw it at the Cossack who had his leg broken by the fallen horse and was unable to move.
The tip of the knife hit the man's head accurately, and the tip of the knife was deeply buried in the man's head.
…
…
A certain Cossack witnessed Ogata killing three of his companions in just a few breaths.
He was lurking somewhere not far away.
Just now, his horse was accidentally shot by a poisonous arrow shot by an unknown villager from Qina Village, and died.
He had no choice but to fight the Ainu people on foot.
He just came here by accident.
Then he witnessed the whole process of Ogata killing his three companions.
Witnessing the whole process, his mouth opened unconsciously.
Even ordinary people who know nothing about martial arts can see how amazing Ogata's skills are.
But while he was shocked, he was also very excited.
Because - he had a chance to kill this powerful guy.
He was lurking in an inconspicuous dark place at this time, about 50 meters away from Ogata.
At this distance, he was confident that he could snipe the guy with the Kentucky long rifle on his back.
The Kentucky long rifle on his back was always ready to fire.
In order to kill Ogata before he left or discovered him, the Cossack hurriedly took off the Kentucky long rifle from his back and pointed the muzzle at Ogata.
However - just as he pointed the gun at Ogata, he suddenly saw: this guy, who was obviously Japanese, actually turned his head and looked at him.
——I was discovered?!
The Cossack was so frightened by Ogata, who was looking at him sideways, that he almost dropped the rifle in his hand.
Just then - he suddenly heard a slight strange sound coming from behind him.
Before he could turn around to check the situation behind him, a sharp pain that seemed to tear him in half came from his left chest.
It's a wakizashi.
A wakizashi pierced into his chest from the back and came out from the front, piercing his heart directly.
At the same moment when the sharp pain came from his left chest, the Cossack saw a small left hand reaching out from behind his left side, pressing down the Kentucky long rifle in his hand and lowering the muzzle to the ground.
Probably to prevent the rifle from accidentally going off and the bullet from hitting someone else.
The heart was pierced - this was a fatal injury that left him with no time to even scream.
The Cossack twitched a few times and then died.
He didn't know until his death that it was a woman who killed him.
To be more precise, she is a ninja.
…
…
A-Machi has always been following Ogata closely, assisting him to the best of his ability - although A-Machi felt that with Ogata's abilities, even without his assistance, Ogata would not be in any danger, or encounter any enemies that he could not deal with alone.
After successfully killing the Cossack who was planning to launch a sneak attack on Ogata with a Kentucky long rifle, A-Machi snatched the rifle from his hand.
While looking at the rifle in his hand with a look of joy on his face, Atachi walked out of the inconspicuous shadow and walked quickly towards Ogata.
"Look, the trophy!" A-machi showed Ogata the rifle in her hand.
Even if Atachi had not killed the Cossack who was planning to assassinate Ogata, that Cossack would not have been able to hurt Ogata at all.
Because Ogata had already discovered him.
After entering the "state of no self", your mood will become exceptionally calm and less susceptible to external disturbances, and your senses will become sharper, truly "listening in all directions and looking in all directions".
At the same time as he discovered the Cossack, Ogata also discovered Atachi approaching the Cossack from behind.
So Ogata ignored this person and handed him over to Atachi to deal with.
The Cossack had misunderstood just now—Ogata was not looking at him.
Instead, he was looking at Ating who had sneaked up behind this person. He was waiting for Ating to finish off this person.
"Can this cannon fire?" Ogata glanced at the Kentucky long rifle in Atachi's hand.
"It should be able to." Ating nodded. "That guy just pointed the gun at you, and I killed him before he could shoot. This gun should be able to shoot."
It was also the first time for A-Ming to hold a Kentucky long rifle, and he had no idea how to load the rifle.
So she could only grab the rifles that were already loaded with bullets.
"Take it with you," said Ating, "it might come in handy later."
Each Kentucky long rifle used by these Cossacks was equipped with a strap that allowed the rifle to be carried directly on the back.
Atingna's well-developed pectoral muscles once again demonstrated their excellent usefulness.
Ating carried the gun at an angle on his back.
When he put the strap of the Kentucky long rifle on his body, the strap sank into the valley and was firmly stuck in the valley, preventing the gun on his back from swinging around.
There are still many enemies in the village that need to be dealt with, so Ogata and Atachi did not stay there for too long.
After Ating put the newly acquired Kentucky long rifle on his back, the two of them prepared to rush to the next place where there were many Cossacks.
But before leaving, Ogata suddenly thought of Yashili and the others.
Yashili and the others were still stunned where they were, immersed in the shock of witnessing Ogata's heroic figure.
Ogata turned his head and looked at Yashili and the others who were still looking at him in a daze.
He originally wanted to tell Ashley and the others, "Hide somewhere safe, and leave the rest to me."
But with his current knowledge of the Ainu language vocabulary, he simply couldn't say such a complex sentence.
So, Ogata, who was still in the "selfless state" where he was "too lazy to show expression", forced a smile towards Yashili and the others.
"Don't worry. (Ainu)"
Fortunately, Ogata had learned how to pronounce "Don't worry" from the "Guide to Common Ezo Phrases".
After leaving these words, Ogata put away the smile on his face, returned to his expressionless state, and without stopping, he took Atachi and ran towards the place where the most gunfire was heard.
…
…
Yashili, who still held the poison arrow in his hand, had not yet fully recovered from his shock even after Ogata had turned and left.
Not only her, but also her mother, the girl with the red headband, and the girls with the purple and blue headbands who had also witnessed the whole process of Ogata killing the enemy not far away, all looked dazed.
Until Ogata's figure was completely out of sight, Yashili felt that her lips, tongue, and vocal cords seemed to have self-awareness and could act on their own. A low murmur came out of her lips without Yashili's control:
“So amazing…”
…
…
From the beginning, Vladimir kept receiving news that "a very powerful Japanese was sighted."
Vladimir was very concerned - why did a Japanese appear in this Ainu village?
According to the information we have heard so far, this Japanese man seems to be very skilled in using a knife. He has already killed many of his and Alexei's subordinates with the knife.
Vladimir's swordsmanship is well-known in the circle he belongs to.
Before coming to this distant Far East, Vladimir had participated in small-scale battles at the airport in Eastern Europe. In these battles, he chopped off a total of 23 heads with his saber.
This is a heroic deed that Vladimir has always been proud of. With these actual achievements, he has also made his image as a "swordsman master" deeply rooted in the hearts of many people.
Vladimir has been in the Far East for so long, but because he has been wandering around Ezo, he has never seen Japanese swordsmanship.
As far as he knew, Japan was a country with many types and schools of swordsmanship.
He had long wanted to see Japanese swordsmanship.
So when Vladimir learned that this suddenly appearing Japanese was also a master of swordsmanship, he paid more attention to this Japanese - he really wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful this Japanese sword was and what Japanese swordsmanship was like.
So, as soon as Vladimir learned that a Japanese man with great swordsmanship had appeared, he led his guards to the place where the Japanese man was spotted.
Vladimir has always considered himself a brave man and has always been proud of his bravery. He disdains to do things like hiding in the back and watching his subordinates charge into battle.
He wanted to meet the Japanese man in person.
His guards also knew Vladimir's fearless character, so they did not persuade Vladimir "not to go into danger", but resolutely followed him on horseback to look for the Japanese.
However - before he saw the Japanese, he suddenly heard strange gunshots from the east.
Vladimir's expression changed instantly.
Having been in the vicinity of knives and guns for many years, he was able to keenly recognize that the gunshots came from outside the village.
The sound of gunfire continued. After one shot, a new one would follow.
He immediately reined in his horse and turned to look east - unfortunately, from his position, he could not see anything looking east.
Fortunately, one of his confidants brought news from the east in time.
“Boss Vladimir!” The confidant ran to Vladimir’s side and rear, panting. “Some compatriots suddenly appeared in the east of the village from nowhere! They used Kentucky long rifles to snipe our people!”
"Compatriots?!" Vladimir's eyes widened.
A group of Cossacks suddenly appeared, and then used rifles to snipe them, who were also Cossacks? When Vladimir thought of this, he felt that the blood in his body was rushing to his head.
Vladimir never expected that his confidant would say something that made the blood gather in his head even more.
"I was just near the east side of the settlement."
This confidant gradually began to stammer.
"I saw through the telescope... the leader seemed to be that Skulucci..."
…
…
Time goes back to just now——
In the Skuluch Camp——
Skulucci stared at Ogata's departing back in a daze.
Even after Ogata and the others had left, Skulucci was still standing there in a daze, looking as if he had not yet come to his senses.
Afjie and others also noticed the abnormality of their boss.
They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Finally, it was Afjie, who had the best relationship with Skulucci, who mustered up the courage and said to Skulucci cautiously:
"Boss Skulucci?"
After hearing what Afjie had just said, Skuluchi finally woke up from his dream. Looking ahead where Ogata and the others were no longer visible, he blinked twice.
"Boss Skulucci, we are now..."
What to do - Before Afjie could finish the second half of his sentence, Skulucci interrupted him.
“Guys!”
Skulucci announced loudly to Afjie and others with a smile on his face.
"There's a gang robbing the Ainu settlement right now!"
"Those guys must have a lot of valuables and delicious things on them!"
“Here’s a great opportunity to have a great Maslenitsa!”
"Bring out our horses! Get out our guns!"
The expressions of everyone around, led by Afjie, changed slightly.
They have all been following Skulucci for some time.
Knowing Skulucci's style, they all guessed what Skulucci was going to do.
However, even though they had guessed what Skulucci was going to do, none of them said anything. They all followed Skulucci's orders.
There is one advantage to Skulucci's style of never burning, killing or looting.
That is - all those who are still willing to follow Skulucci are basically very loyal to Skulucci.
Because they didn't follow Skulucci for profit.
It was because of his ideals and admiration for Skulucci that he voluntarily followed Skulucci and lived this hard life together.
If Skulucci said one thing, they would never say another.
Some of the men ran to where the horses were kept, while others drew out their rifles.
Including Skulucci himself, there were only 13 people in their group.
Although they were few in number, their weapons were very sophisticated, and each of them used a Kentucky long rifle.
"Master Skulucci!" Afjie asked, "How should we deal with those bandits?"
Everyone knew that the guys who attacked the Ainu settlement were not bandits at all.
But they all ignored this tacitly.
"If I go into the village, I might be mistaken for a bandit and shot dead by the villagers." Sculucci smiled and patted the Kentucky long rifle on his back. "Afjie, you should know, right? During the American War of Independence, a sniper successfully shot and killed the British commander 300 yards away with a Kentucky long rifle."
"We don't have to get close to the bandits to be able to deal with them."
…
…
"Damn it! That son of a bitch!"
Vladimir looked up to the sky and spewed all the filthy words in Lucia's language.
He knew that Skulucci was a strange person.
But he didn't expect it to be so weird!
He really couldn't remember what he had done to offend him, which allowed Skulucci to attack them when they were fighting fiercely with the Ainu people in this settlement.
"Did you see how many people Skulucci brought?!" Vladimir asked the confidant in a sharp voice.
"Including Skulucci, there are only 13 people!" The confidant who had just stayed in the east of the settlement and successfully observed Skulucci and others with a telescope accurately gave a number.
13 people - not a large number.
But if they were allowed to stay outside the settlement and launch long-range shooting harassment on them, there would definitely be a lot of casualties on their side.
And he keeps ignoring what Skulucci says. God knows what he will do next.
——We must get rid of Skulucci and his gang as soon as possible!
Just as Vladimir was thinking about whether to deal with the guy himself or send a trusted confidant to lead people to kill them, he suddenly heard a noise behind him and horses were neighing.
"Be quiet!"
Vladimir, who wanted to calm down and think carefully, turned his head with an unhappy look on his face and yelled behind him.
However - as soon as he turned his head back, the expression on his face froze instantly.
Because - he saw a young man in a Japanese kimono standing on the back of a warhorse of one of his guards.
The subordinates who were supposed to be sitting on horseback were now lying on the snow, without any sign of life.
…
…
Alexei, like Vladimir, was a man who was proud of his bravery and disdained to hide in the rear.
So when the looting began, he, like Vladimir, was at the front and one of the first to rush into the village.
Thanks to his luck and strength, Alexei has kept both his life and the horse under him intact until now, and no arrow has been able to hurt him.
Every arrow shot at him was either dodged by him on his horse or blocked by the saber in his hand.
Alexei is also in the middle of a fierce battle. He did not count how many people he has killed so far. He only knows that he is in good shape and in high spirits.
"Come on! Don't hide in the dark! Come on if you have the guts! Don't you have any guts?"
Alexei roared.
The villagers of China had been hiding in the dark and shooting arrows at them - which made Alexei very unhappy.
He liked head-on battles, and fighting with these Ainu people who had been hiding in the dark made him feel very uncomfortable.
He tried to provoke the Ainu people in this settlement with words, forcing them to come out and confront him head-on.
But his provocation was doomed to be useless - because the Ainu people could not understand his Lushiyan language at all.
"It's really not pleasant!" Alexei curled his lips.
"Lord Alexei!" At this moment, one of Alexei's men suddenly rode towards him.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Alexey asked.
"A strange Japanese man appeared." This subordinate came to report the news.
Alexei's information gathering speed was a step slower than Vladimir's.
Vladimir had already started looking for the Japanese man, and Alexei had just learned of the appearance of such an uninvited guest.
"Japanese?" Alexei raised his eyebrows.
"That Japanese guy's swordsmanship is amazing! He killed our brothers everywhere! Many of our brothers were killed by him!"
"Swordsmanship?" Alexei's eyes lit up.
When Alexei learned that a Japanese person had appeared, his expression did not change much, only a little confusion emerged.
But when he learned that the Japanese man was very skilled in swordsmanship, the confusion on Alexei's face immediately turned into curiosity and excitement.
Alexei was like Vladimir - he had long heard of Japanese swordsmanship, but had never seen what it was like.
Alexei was worried that these Ainu people were hiding in the dark and not confronting him head-on.
So, Alexei raised his saber high without even thinking, and shouted to the six personal guards beside him:
"Follow me! Let's go kill that Jap!"
"Boss Alexei." The guard closest to Alexei stammered, "That Japanese guy seems very powerful. Should we gather more people before going to find him?"
"I'm here, what are you afraid of!" Alexei said loudly, "Follow me! Let that Japanese see the true bravery of us Cossacks!"
…
…
Ogata and Atachi were killing Cossacks everywhere.
Wherever there were gunshots or screams, they would go there.
Even though Ogata had a lot of experience in avoiding the blood spurting from other people's wounds, after killing so many people in a row, some blood inevitably splashed on his face and clothes, making him look very scary at this moment.
While killing many of the attacking Cossacks, Ogata also saved a considerable number of the villagers of China Village.
Some villagers recognized Ogata and Atachi as the Japanese friends that Ayaka brought today. When they were rescued by Ogata and Atachi, they expressed their gratitude to the two of them.
By the way, Ayaka also participated in the rescue of China Village, but he did not follow Ogata and the others, but acted alone.
Ogata's direct, frontal and tough fighting style is not suitable for Ayaka, who is good at using bows and arrows, accustomed to lurking in the dark and shooting enemies .
So after entering China Village, Ayaka separated from Ogata and the others and acted alone, wandering around China Village like a wandering soul, and then using the bow and arrow in his hand to take the enemy's life without anyone noticing.
And Ayaka is indeed one of the best hunters in Kuma Village, and her skills are much better than those female warriors in Qina Village who have just learned how to draw the bow.
Not long after joining the rescue of China Village, Ayaka shot down four Cossacks in succession.
Ogata and Atachi cooperated with each other, fighting all the way from the east of the village to the north, and then from the north to the west.
Although this group of Cossacks had powerful weapons such as the Kentucky long rifle, the power and threat of the musket were reduced to the minimum in such a "street fight".
The complex terrain gave Ogata ample ways to get close to these Cossacks.
The blessing of the "state of no self" also gave Ogata enough confidence to deflect or dodge the bullets fired from these muskets.
Therefore, these powerful weapons that the Cossacks were proud of could not pose any major threat to Ogata.
The situation where it was mostly the Ainu people who were screaming was gradually changing.
The Ainu people's screams gradually became less frequent.
But the Cossacks' screams did not increase.
Because after they met Ogata, they had basically no chance to scream.
Ogata ran on the road, jumped between rooftops, and slashed with the two swords in his hands.
These Cossacks collapsed like snow encountering flames, shattered like glass thrown to the ground, and died like ants that would turn into meat paste if they were lightly crushed.
No one can stop Ogata.
No one can stand up to Ogata's sword.
The system prompt sound in Ogata's mind kept ringing.
The last time it kept ringing like this was a few months ago when we were fighting the Shiranui ninjas in Edo.
Ogata was not rushing around aimlessly.
Although he did not understand any military strategies or tactics, he understood a very classic battlefield truth that is very practical even in an era of highly developed science and technology.
That is - capture the leader first.
No matter what, just kill the leader first.
Ogata looked around for someone who looked like the leader.
Finally—he found it.
After killing two more enemies and looking around for new enemies, Ogata discovered a group of Cossacks on horseback not far away.
There were 7 Cossacks in total. The guy at the front looked like a leader.
Ogata didn't know that the guy with the aura of a "leader" in his eyes was Vladimir.
After much difficulty, he found a guy who seemed to have the aura of a "leader" - Ogata naturally had no reason to let him go.
This group of people were standing still, not knowing what they were doing - in fact, Vladimir was standing still, thinking about how to deal with Skuluch and his gang.
Vladimir stopped dead in his tracks - there was no better opportunity to attack.
Ogata used the "Shiranui-style Stealth Technique" and approached the group from the side and rear little by little.
With the help of the "Shiranui-style Stealth Technique", Ogata approached Vladimir and others in an almost silent manner.
There was no need for Ogata to tell Atachi what to do, as Atachi seemed to be in perfect sync with Ogata.
When Ogata approached Vladimir and the others with a knife in hand, Ating, knowing that he would be of no help if he followed Ogata, hid in a nearby high place to help Ogata keep watch and pay attention to the surroundings.
Vladimir and his companions did not notice Ogata until Ogata was close enough to clearly see the facial features of Vladimir and his companions.
Tonight was actually Ogata's first time fighting an enemy on horseback.
Although the time was short, through the battles one after another, Ogata gradually gained some experience and skills in "standing on the ground to deal with cavalry."
If you fight against cavalry while standing on the ground, it will be very inconvenient to swing the sword because you are attacking from above.
Therefore, one of the experiences that Ogata figured out was that by jumping onto the enemy's horse, he could avoid the situation where he could only attack from above.
After getting close to only about 4 steps away from Vladimir and others, Osamu was like a spring that had been compressed for a long time, and the power accumulated in his body was released instantly.
He kicked off with both feet and pounced towards the Cossack closest to him.
In the blink of an eye, Ogata rushed to the Cossack's horse, grabbed the horse's mane with his left hand, and then used the mane to jump onto the horse's back in one breath.
As he leaped onto the horse's back, a flash of knife appeared.
With one blow, the Cossack's head was chopped off on horseback.
The Cossack didn't know what was happening until his head was chopped off by Ogata.
While cutting down the Cossack on horseback with one sword, Ogata successfully jumped onto the back of the warhorse.
Then, like a pirate boarding a ship, Xu Fang jumped from the back of the horse under his feet to the back of another horse next to him.
As soon as his feet landed firmly on the new horse's back, Xu Fang chopped off the Cossack's head with a vertical blow.
It was not until this time that Vladimir and others finally discovered Ogata, the god of death who suddenly appeared.
Ogata used the backs of the horses as platforms, jumping and moving continuously.
Every time a new horse was jumped on, the Cossack on that horse would surely suffer.
Because they were caught by surprise, Vladimir and others did not have enough time to make full preparations to fight the enemy.
In the blink of an eye, Vladimir was left with only two guards.
"Son of a bitch !"
Vladimir opened his mouth wide, uttering the most obscene words in their Lucia language, raised his saber high, and rode towards Ogata, who was standing on the back of the warhorse of one of his subordinates.
——See the swords of the Cossacks who have fought in the battlefield!
Even though most of his men were killed by the Japanese in the blink of an eye, Vladimir remained unafraid.
Because he was confident that in the event of a surprise attack, he would be able to kill most of his guards in such a short period of time.
Although these people were his guards, in terms of combat effectiveness, they were actually far inferior to Vladimir.
In terms of experience in fighting on the battlefield, he is not as good as Vladimir.
Vladimir's saber carries the confidence that Vladimir once took 23 heads in a row on the battlefield in Eastern Europe.
Facing the sword in Vladimir's hand that carried his confidence, Ogata's reaction was - no reaction at all.
Ogata's expression and the look in his eyes, as always, carry the indifference unique to the "state of no self".
Facing the knife in Vladimir's hand, Ogata simply raised the Great Freedom in his hand silently.
clang!
Then he used the blade reverse to easily deflect Vladimir's knife.
then--
laugh!
After Blade Reversal, he followed up with Flow and used Great Release to directly cut a big hole in Vladimir's upper body.
Killing Vladimir was as easy and simple as killing those ordinary Cossacks just now.
Vladimir's eyes widened.
His eyes were full of disbelief.
He never thought that his sword, which had taken 23 heads in Eastern Europe, would be defeated so easily.
There was not even enough time to give the Japanese a chance to catch his breath.
"How... could it be... (Lucia)"
After saying this with his last bit of strength, Vladimir rolled his eyes and fell off his horse.
…
…
Alexei, who was about 200 meters away from Ogata, witnessed everything that had just happened.
When Ogata began to launch a surprise attack on Vladimir and others, Alexi, who was looking for Ogata everywhere, happened to arrive not far away with his guards.
Alexei wanted to lead his men towards Ogata while shouting excitedly.
But what happened next - the scene where Ogata killed Vladimir and others like cutting melons and vegetables - made Alexei stop his horse silently.
From the time Ogata launched the surprise attack to the time he killed Vladimir with one sword, only a few breaths of time passed.
Alexei saw everything that happened in these few breaths perfectly.
After seeing that Vladimir was powerless to fight back against the Japanese, Alexei pulled the reins of his horse expressionlessly.
He turned the horse's head to face Ogata, who was moving away from him, and then knocked on the horse's belly without any hesitation, driving the warhorse under him to escape from here.
Alexei's guards all looked at Alexei in surprise.
"Master Alexei, do you want to escape?" asked the guard who had just asked Alexei whether he should gather more people before dealing with Ogata.
Alexei did not answer the guard's question.
He just rode away silently with an expressionless face.
——What about the agreement to let that Japanese see the bravery of us Cossacks?
The man who had just asked Alexei whether he should gather more people before dealing with Ogata's guards couldn't help but ask this question loudly in his heart.
