[Comprehensive] Takasugi-kun's Melancholy

The war against barbarians is composed of multiple war zones. Although the goal of all the teams is Edo, because of the differences between the domains, their respective marching teams are different. Takasugi-kun and his team are mainly composed of It is composed of warriors from the Changzhou Fandom, and their battlefield is not far from the Changzhou Fan.

Leaving the feudal domain is difficult in normal times, but after the purge, even the feudal lords were killed, and there were a lot of vacancies for samurai. Even though the shogunate had sent people to maintain order, the effect was minimal. During this period, more people left the feudal domain than in previous years. It seems that there are much more, and Yinshi and the others seized this opportunity to escape from the feudal kingdom.

No, the word "escape" is not suitable for them, it should be "leave temporarily". They will come back, bringing the rescued Teacher Songyang with them.

"According to the information left by those people before, the team of Changzhou Fan should have approached Edo by this road." Gao Sugi-kun and Gui studied the map in the camping place, and the others sat behind them with curious eyes.

There is no way around this. Maps in this era are very important strategic materials. Except for the army, even ordinary nobles don’t have such things, and the maps produced by Takasugi-kun are even rarer, not only have relatively clear images It outlines and marks some important areas along the way. What's more valuable is that this map is still very new. It was only released last month. According to the current trend of war, this map may not be available within 5 years. It is effective.

"Then shall we follow their progress?" Gui looked at the map and asked such a question.

Takasugi-kun took a pen and drew the advancing route of the army on the map. This kind of reckless behavior shocked the others behind him. It was an incomparably precious map!Even if they sell all of them, they can't get it back. Although I don't know how Takasugi got it, is it really good to smear it like this? !

"No," Takasugi-kun put down the pen, clicked on the route he had drawn, and then moved his finger, knowing the big forest next to him, "Let's go from here."

Before that team left, there were not many celestial and human armies around Changzhou Fan, so the previous team simply chose a relatively flat road. You must know that going deep into the unknown forest is often more dangerous than meeting the celestial and human army head-on. After the road they walked turned into a battlefield, it would no longer be a flat road. On the contrary, there would not only be a certain number of heavenly beings stationed there, but also the disease that would follow the decay of the corpse. Seeking death.

"But the forest is difficult to walk in, isn't it?" The people behind him questioned, living in the countryside, they knew better than anyone the danger hidden in the calm appearance of the forest.

"It will be faster if you take this road," Takasugi-kun replied, "If it goes well, we can even meet up with the troops within half a month." He paused and continued, "And the environment of this forest is not It's complicated, and if there are no accidents, there should be no problem."

That's right, the terrain of this forest is not complicated. Takasugi-kun has personally experienced it. It was in this forest a few years ago that he met Mr. Songyang for the first time and entered the Changzhou Fan from this road, but the environment is no problem. But unexpectedly...

"Pfft!" A mocking laugh came from behind Gao Sugi-kun, and he didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Yin Shi's voice.

Both of them know that although the environment in the forest is not complicated, there are many "accidents". More than the original will never be reduced.

"If the forest terrain is not complicated, then this is indeed the best road so far." Gui also thought of Gao Sugi-kun, "The road is indeed a little inconvenient now. Although this small road may be a bit dangerous, it is also Within the controllable range." He looked up at the rest of the people, "I agree with Takasugi's decision, what about you?"

"If both of you decide, then there is no problem at all." A student from a private school said, "No matter what, Wig, you and Takasugi are both top students among top students! If it is the judgment made by the two of you, it must be Much better than we thought!"

Gao Shanjun and Gui's grades have always been ranked first and second in the private school, and they have never been shaken. The rest of them are naturally very convinced of their judgment, but unlike their good mood along the way, Gao Shanjun and Gui Gui's expression was somewhat dignified.

"How many 'accidents' are there in the forest?" Gui whispered to Takasugi-kun while no one else could hear him.

"I don't know too much." Gao Sugi-kun said the truth. After all, it was many years ago that he passed there last time. Not to mention many."

However, although he told others that this is the best way, in fact walking from the forest is their only way out, the road has been blocked, and other places are either canyons or rivers, it is too difficult to walk, relatively As far as the forest is concerned, it is easier to go the way.

"Have they all been burned?" Gui's expression became more serious, not only because of the evil deeds of those heavenly beings, but also worried about their next trip, "If this is the case, then not all the people who escaped..."

"No way." Takasugi-kun pointed out, "You know, this is already the path with the highest survival rate." Yes, the survival rate, the number of young warriors who join the battlefield with beautiful dreams every year is definitely not small, but In fact, there are very few warriors who can really die on the battlefield, and a large part of them have long been lost on the way through the battlefield.

There is no way, those uncivilized civilians in this era seldom have the energy to take care of the righteousness of the country. There is hatred among the various feudal clans, and as ordinary people, most of them are unable to rob heaven and man, so they can only The target shifted to their own kind, and even a samurai with a sword couldn't stop them. After all, samurai were human beings, and if there were enough young adults, they could still kill a samurai.

"I can only hope that the rogues there are not so excessive." Gui sighed, he could only sincerely hope that what he met was not the kind of people who always tear the flesh and blood of the same kind to survive in times of war. Just a beast.

Takasugi-kun and the others did not walk slowly. They arrived at the forest after only a week of walking and talking. The day before entering the forest, they were repairing at a place not far from the forest.

Sitting by the fire, Gui hesitated and said: "Please listen," he said with a serious expression, "There are some things that we need to be more vigilant after we enter the forest."

"What's the matter?" Most people saw Gui's expression restrained a bit, because Takasugi-kun chose a good route and they walked very smoothly along the way, so they couldn't help feeling a little bit up until now: Although they all said it was difficult, it was not. what the hell!They all think so.

"If you meet someone who attacks us in the forest, please don't show mercy." Gui said, "You can draw your sword directly."

"The people who attacked us?" Those who heard Gui's words were at a loss. The law and order in the Changzhou domain was really good, almost reaching the level of not closing their doors at night. These young people who have been growing up in the domain do not know what a robber is.

"It's a bandit, a bandit!" Yinshi was impatient with Gui's stammering words, and directly broke the words, "Many refugees will flee from their hometowns and hide in the mountains or forests to become bandits, and kill travelers who pass by to snatch them. Supplies, that’s it.” Because he has been wandering around various countries with Songyang all year round, Yinshi knows a lot of things unexpectedly, and he explained it clearly to his companions.

But it is precisely because the explanation is clear that some people cannot accept it.

"But, are they civilians?" Most of the people gathered here were born civilians, so they can empathize with the plight of refugees, "How can a warrior swing a knife at civilians?!"

"If you don't swing the knife, you will be the one who dies!" Yinshi's tone was a little aggressive. He promised Mr. Songyang to protect his companions. He knew very well that if these guys really entered the forest so innocently, then they must Either death or injury, so he has to tell them everything right now.

Gui is also a person who attaches great importance to his companions, so he cooperates to help Yinshi tell those companions the importance of this matter, and the two of them seem to have persuaded the classmates by making a good face and singing a bad face.

Takasugi-kun was resting on the sidelines, and did not join the conversation of those people at all. He just glanced at the students who were a little shaken from the corner of his eyes and curled his lips: What a waste of words, Takasugi-kun thought in his heart, unless he himself experienced the death of his companions Otherwise, this group of young warriors who have never seen blood will never be able to kill those bandits with one blow.

Once they set out on this path, sacrifice was inevitable, and now it was just the beginning.
