Qi Mubai returned to the cave that was used as a camp, and just as he reached the entrance, the shadow projected from behind seemed to flicker a few times suddenly and imperceptibly, he paused before continuing to walk in.

From the scene in front of us, we can see that this is a remnant team with only a dozen people.

Inside, two rows of tattered blankets were laid side by side, that is, crude hospital beds. Dying people lay on them, or their legs were injured, their bodies were severely injured and they could not move, or their stomachs were picked out by the tip of a knife. There was a hole, and the blood was gurgling, soaking the rough bandage red.

Those who were still able to move, or who were not so seriously injured, acted as temporary nurses, and spread out to take care of their comrades who were groaning in pain.Since the majority of people who have lost their ability to move make the scene chaotic, no matter how quick their movements are, it is impossible to avoid the situation of not taking care of everyone...

And that's not the worst.What's more troublesome is that there is no military supplies in this cave, there is not enough medicine, and there is no medical staff with basic rescue knowledge... The stormtroopers composed of warriors who are full of blood and want to protect the country are left with these lingering luck son.

Still, that's good enough.

Much better than what he remembered... much better.

Qi Mubai first nodded lightly to the few people who were sitting at the entrance of the cave, watching out for danger. He carefully scrutinized the faces of each injured person, matched up with some vague impressions one by one, and then remembered them again in his heart. Finally, he He stopped beside the samurai sleeping on a blanket against the wall inside.

Just when he leaned over, the samurai's eyelids, which were originally tightly closed, suddenly trembled, as if he clearly sensed that he was coming to his side, he let out a short moan, and he struggled to lift his eyelids, revealing Cloudy and lifeless eyeballs.

"We...have suffered heavy losses."

The voice spewed out of the phlegm-filled throat was like the harsh sound of a machine that was hard to turn with a thick layer of rust on it, and his chest was also like a bellows that kept swelling. It took a lot of effort: "Pioneer team, 54 people, including other team members who voluntarily stayed, 41 people were killed in battle, and [-] people were seriously injured..."

After intermittently reporting the dire situation, the samurai took a deep breath, and his body couldn't help trembling because of the wound that had been stabbed in his chest by the knife.However, when this unremarkable man turned his eyes and stared at the young man kneeling on one knee, there seemed to be a rather soft temperament on his face.

"Master Takasugi, I—cough, cough, I am very happy, you are still alive and kicking."

"I'm also very happy to be alive to see you again. However, Mr. Muto," Qi Mubai secretly clenched his left hand on his knee, but said in an exceptionally relaxed tone, "Just report well, can you not Set up a strange flag for me? By the way, set up one for yourself too."

Muto-kun, who always likes to set up all kinds of death flags before and after the war-yes, this middle-aged uncle who is passer-by from person to appearance is the hard-working deputy hired by Shiro Takasugi.

"Wrong, wrong, let me teach you, uncle, and come home alive to eat the love bento made by my wife-this is the flag." At this time, Mr. Muto, who suddenly became energetic, said, and even blinked, "Okay Yes, I chose to save this sentence to say at this time, the time is just right."

Qi Mubai: "... as long as you are happy."

Looking at Mr. Muto's current appearance, he is indeed very happy, his gray face is shining brightly - that is the sunlight slanting in from outside the cave.

However, even the tone of ridicule cannot erase the fact that everyone is heavy in their hearts.

After a long time, the samurai recovered his breath.

"Fortunately, our mission, cough, has been... completed."

"Well, thanks to you... it worked."

There was another silence.

At some point, people silently surrounded them.Qi Mubai's posture also changed from one knee to leaning on the ground with both knees, and he bent deeply. He grasped the palm of his former deputy in his hand, and the hair hanging from his ear also blocked his face.

"I used to be too arrogant."

Qi Mubai, he said as Gao Shanbai.

Arrogant, bearing the trust of so many people, but made a wrong choice.

At that time, Takasugi Bai was too young, and finally overcame psychological factors and "learned" to kill. He wanted to protect himself in the chaotic world, and he also had to fight to protect the things he cherished. The fault is that the innocence brought about by the peaceful modern society obviously cannot be used here.

Takasugi Haku was born into a samurai family.

At that time, he, who had been reincarnated several times, realized the existence of the "curse", and was in a period of confusion without knowing the future.He had no interest in becoming a samurai, or in other words, he didn't care about anything at that time, and only he knew the feeling of living in anxiety.

Oh, the only thing that can interest him is his younger brother from that life.

Shinsuke Takasugi is a very interesting kid, he doesn't like the bondage and education of the family, he always holds it on his face, and it's very fun to tease——cough, in Takasugi Bai's words, it's precocious, but immature To the little devil who can find the way forward, his attributes are still arrogant when he was a child, and, in terms of confusion, he is very similar to his state.

So, one day, my younger brother cut off the relationship with the family without saying a word, dropped out of the martial arts school, and ran to the small private school in the mountains by himself, so he could not return for a long time.Gao Shanbai took a look, the only younger brother in the family who looked like a normal person ran away, and he was no longer confused. He was very good, he had to go and observe, and he packed his bags and happily followed.

Originally, he really just wanted to see who the teacher who tamed his rather proud younger brother was. Unexpectedly, after Takasugi Bai followed him, he found that the teacher was even more powerful than he imagined.

Yoshida Songyang, a man of unknown origin, quietly opened a private school in this remote mountain, taking a group of little kids as students.The voice of the man giving lectures is always soft, with a smile on his lips, but it would be a big mistake to think that he is also very gentle in nature. Yoshida Shoyang is almost not angry, but if he is offended... the end will be miserable.

He taught them literacy, taught them swordsmanship, and taught them some things that cannot be superficial.They are treated equally, including Gao Shanbai, who can only be regarded as a free class.

A sword, probably just forged from the blacksmith's hammer, touched it lightly with his fingers, and seemed to be able to feel the scalding heat hidden in the center of the blade, just like that, it appeared in front of his eyes without warning .

"This is, for me?"

"My sword was given to Yinshi. Apart from this, there is no other sword suitable for you. Come, accept it."

"But, I don't intend to learn..."

"--yes?"

With such a recollection, Takasugi Bai actually doesn’t remember Yoshida Matsuyo’s expression at that time, the only impression is the man’s eyes, which seem to be calm without waves, but seem like an endless abyss.

Suddenly, there is a feeling that this man's experience is unimaginably vast, he knows everything, he has insight into people's hearts, and—his life is extremely long.

"That's not what your eyes say."

"I want to change, but without the strength to stand up, how can I get out of the mud."

He is similar to him.Gao Shanbai didn't know why he felt this way, he was shocked by what he saw at a glance, but it was hard to describe, as if he had been seen through long ago, Yoshida Shoyang saw it at the first sight when he saw him, about The fact that "they can be counted among the same kind".

And, it cannot be denied.Shiro Takasugi was indeed touched.

"...Sword, it's so troublesome. Is there no other choice, such as a gun or something..."

Boom——Gao Sugibai had a steaming bag on top of his head, and the man who hit him ruthlessly flicked his sleeves with a smile.

"Don't be wishful thinking, as a teacher, I can only use swords."

"Okay, learn!"

From then on, Takasugi Bai officially joined Yoshida Shoyo's sect, and spent several years of peaceful years in the private school—until the peaceful life like a paradise was broken by the sound of gunfire, and his teacher was suddenly arrested by the shogunate who had colluded with heaven and man Arrested on unknown charges.In order to save the teacher, Gao Shanbai and several fellow students including his own brother stood up at the critical moment when the samurai were scattered because of the defection of the shogunate, and participated in the war against barbarians together, and they all made their names in this war .

After all, they are students of Yoshida Shoyo.

The most ideal ending is that Songyang's disciples rescued the teacher, and the war against barbarians ended with the victory of the warriors.However, unfortunately...

Gao Shanbai actually didn't know whether these two ideals were achieved, because he died on the battlefield before seeing the result, but before he died, he already had a premonition.

"Cough, cough... At least, it's good to get through today."

Mr. Muto insisted on finishing what he wanted to say with his voice.His eyes brightened a little bit, and after surviving this battle, in his opinion, he could vaguely see hope in front of him: "According to the news from the shogunate before... they have joined forces with us again to resist the sky. People's thinking... reinforcements, no accidents, the reinforcements should arrive tomorrow."

"Yes."

"We finally... just continue this momentum and defeat the heavenly beings!"

When this topic was brought up, the rest of the people also picked up the conversation, and their faces seemed to be a little more radiant.

Only Qi Mubai remained silent.

There were no reinforcements—he could not tell them that fact now.

The situation in the anti-barbarian army is very complicated. Although most of them are passionate warriors who simply hope to overthrow the heavens and humans to protect their homes, the warrior group is divided into two different factions.

One side is the radical faction, who hates the shogunate who has become a lackey of heaven and man, and is resolutely opposed to cooperating with the shogunate. Together, the chances of winning will be expanded by several points.Haku Takasugi is a neutral party who favors the moderation faction, and suggested that he can contact the shogunate depending on the situation, while his younger brother Shinsuke Takasugi is the leading figure in the radical faction. Because of this, the two had a bad relationship.

Today's battle is actually an attempt.

After some debate, the moderate faction overwhelmed the radical faction and won the approval of the majority, and decided to try to join forces with the shogunate to plan a raid against the heavenly beings.The plan should have been for the shogunate to secretly reveal the transportation route of Tianren's weaponry troops, and then the ambush fighters would sneak attack and clear the payment. The vanguard team led by Takasugi Bai was the leader, and the commander was naturally him.

However, when the appointed time is approaching, Gao Shanbai suddenly has an ominous premonition: the familiar, depressing feeling that death is coming.However, because he believed too much in the intelligence personnel in contact with the shogunate—the person who proved to be a traitor when he was dying, he still decided to follow the plan.

The result is in front of us.

Dozens of them waited for the airship loaded with sufficient firepower by the heavenly beings. As for the so-called support, no one was seen until their death.

"What's the matter, Takasugi-sama, you seem to be a little strange?"

"It's too arrogant to be so silent today - so unconfident, it's not like you at all."

Qi Mubai laughed: "I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, the most important thing now is not to worry about this."

"Are you sure there are two strange men who destroyed Celestial's airship and are right behind our team?"

"Okay, I take back what I said just now to keep watch at night. I'll leave it to you, and I'll go out for a while."

"Master Takasugi?"

Qi Mubai let go of Muto's hand, and patted their shoulders casually as he walked past the subordinates surrounding him.

Now that it is decided to reverse the ending of the remaining members of the vanguard team in the illusion, it is time to get down to business.

Qi Mubai went out, and it didn't take much effort to find Dino and Squalo who were hanging behind not too far away, and of course, his cousin who had recovered his human form.

As he walked, he tore his coat into strips and tied his sword behind his back. He didn't talk nonsense.

"I'm going to kill someone. No, to be precise, I'm going to sneak into the enemy camp and kill the minister who should still be drinking and having fun."

Even Dino couldn't help being surprised by his straightforward and murderous words, only the white-haired man who was sitting with his hands folded in boredom raised his eyebrows, obviously, these words were quite to his liking.

"Sneak in? Hahaha—it's too boring, dare to go straight in!"

Qi Mubai looked at him: "Do you dare?"

Hearing this, Squalo smiled.

——The answer is self-evident.
