I formed the strongest swordsman group

"Hmph... Maybe I, Suehiro Moritoyo, can still fight for the world with Nobunaga, Shingen, and Hideyoshi!"

After all, Suehiro triumphantly held his wind blade across his chest, half-closed his eyes, imagining the scene of himself putting on his sword, rushing to kill the enemy, and making a great name for himself.

"Oh... born at the wrong time, born at the wrong time."

After taking another long and heavy sigh, Suehiro gave Yamada a hard face.

"Okay, let's end the gossip first."

"You came here to look for me, shouldn't you just come to watch me practice guns?"

Yamada's expression also straightened at this moment: "Mr. Suehiro, the personnel are all assembled! There are 203 people in total, and no one is missing!"

"Is everyone assembled..." Suehiro grinned, "Very good..."

Suehiro put away the gun in his hand.

"Let everyone rest well tonight!"

"Let's go at dawn tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Yamada replied with a loud "Yes", and then heaved a long sigh, "Ha... I'm a little nervous... Since the establishment of the Barbarian Group, it is finally the first time we have launched an attack on the barbarians..."

"Hahahaha!" Sukuro laughed a few times, "Don't be nervous, Yamada."

"This operation will only succeed easily, and it is impossible to fail."

"For this operation, we have assembled 203 patriots and brought 12 muskets."

"As for the guards of Anthony and Alodi, there are only 36 guards in total."

"The strength of the two sides is 203 to 36, and the advantage lies with us!"

"Not to mention that we still fight unprepared with our preparedness!"

After all, Suehiro walked down the hillside swaggeringly, carrying his Niken gun which he named "Fengqie".

"Mr. Suehiro, where are you going?" Yamada asked.

"I'm almost done with my spear skills. I'm going back to pay homage to my statue of King Ni."

"Mr. Suehiro, you are really devout to your statue of Nioh." Yamada smiled helplessly, "every day, you worship that statue once in the morning and at night."

"My statue of Nioh is very spiritual! After I started to worship my statue of Nioh, I have saved myself from danger many times under the protection of that statue of Nioh! It is very spiritual! Yamada, do you want to join me? Wake up and say goodbye?"

"Haha, I don't need it."

...

Fujisawa Juku, in a hotel room——

"...I understand the specific reason."

"That is to say... Leroy, it was Elodie who begged you to take her to the Jiangdao Shrine. You were soft-hearted for a moment and couldn't resist her, so you secretly took Alodie out of the hotel together with that Kinoshita Mai .Is it right?"

"...Yes. Mr. Angoulême, I am responsible for all the accidents today."

"If I had been firm in my convictions and refused to join forces with Ms. Kinoshita to take her out for fun, the series of accidents today would not have happened."

"I am willing to suffer any punishment..."

At this moment, Elodie and her maid, Leroy, stood in front of an old man one after the other.

The old man is about 70 years old.

Above the chin and lips, there is a carefully trimmed beard.

The hair, which is not considered long, is combed back obliquely. Both the hair and the beard are so white that no other color can be seen.

He is a bit fat, and his extremely loose clothes can't cover up his big belly that feels like it can hold 2 basketballs.

His facial features are profound, especially his 2 eye sockets, which are so deep that he can hold 2 eggs.

The nose is very tall and straight, with a slightly fat tip. A pair of thin-rimmed glasses are placed on the bridge of the nose. Behind the lenses are a pair of blue eyes that are constantly staring at Leroy with angry eyes.

Antoine de Angoulême—the old man's name.

"Grandpa!" Elodie, who had been folding her hands in front of her body and hanging her head just now, suddenly raised her head, "Please don't punish Miss Leroy! The accidents today have nothing to do with Leroy It's Miss Wu's business! It's none of Miss Wu's business either!"

"It's because I am playful and want to visit Enoshima Shrine, which has long admired its name, so I begged Ms. Mai and Ms. Leroy to take me to visit that Enoshima Shrine!"

"Miss Leroy was coerced by me, so she was forced to take me out of the hotel secretly!"

"The main responsibility for today's matter lies with me!"

"Grandpa, if you want to punish Miss Leroy, punish me first!"

"Miss..." Leroy, who was standing behind Elodie, raised his head, and cast a gaze mixed with gratitude and guilt at Elodie.

"Elodie..." Anthony looked at his granddaughter helplessly, "Be quiet, no matter how much you defend Leroy, it is an iron fact that she has not fulfilled the duties of a waitress. .”

"Before I left Osaka, I should have made multiple orders, right?"

Anthony turned his angry eyes back to Leroy.

"This country doesn't welcome foreigners like us yet."

"You must never leave the hotel without my permission!"

"Leroy, as Elodie's maid, no matter how much Elodie begs you, you shouldn't take Elodie outside without authorization!"

"If you do this, you're putting Elodie and yourself in danger!"

"You have committed the felony of negligence of duty—should I have done nothing wrong or wronged you?"

"Grandpa..." Hearing Anthony's stern reprimand, Elodie bit her lip.

When Elodie was about to say something to Anthony, Leroy buried his head low again:

"...Yes. I plead guilty."

"It was me who slack off at work, which caused Miss to be in an accident today."

"Miss." Leroy raised his head and showed a grateful smile to Elodie in front of him, "Thank you for protecting me."

"But Mr. Angoulême is not wrong. I am indeed responsible for today's series of accidents."

"I am willing to accept any punishment."

"Hmph." Looking at Leroy who sincerely pleaded guilty, Anthony's expression changed slightly, "It's fine if you are willing to plead guilty."

"I'll punish you slowly later."

Having said that, Anthony seemed to remember something, and asked Leroy:

"How is that Juqingdeng doing now?"

"He is currently receiving treatment from Mr. Kiryu in the next room." Leroy replied.

"Kiryu..." For some reason, after hearing the name "Kiryu", the corners of Anthony's mouth twitched.

After a long while, Anthony sighed lightly: "Today is considered a blessing among misfortunes...Fortunately, two warriors showed up in time when Alodi was attacked and repelled the attackers."

"otherwise……"

When Anthony said this, he closed his mouth tightly as if he couldn't bear to continue talking.

"...All of you come with me." Anthony straightened his waist, "Let's go meet the warrior who has done us a great favor."

[What is Nioh? 】

Many readers may be curious: What is Nioh?

Here is an explanation of the columnist of Station B [The Humpbacked Man of Anatolia]:

The meaning of Nioh in Japanese is derived from Buddhism. In front of the mountain gates of Buddhist temples, there are usually two guardian vajras, one with its mouth open and the other with its mouth closed.

The person who opens the mouth symbolizes "A", which is the first sound when opening the mouth in Buddhism, and is the beginning of all sounds and words; The end of all sounds and words.

In our country, these two King Kong statues are vividly called "Hengha Two Generals".

In Japan, these two King Kongs are called "King of Kings".

So everyone can understand "King Ren" as [King Kong who stands upright and glares at the world]
