After hearing what the squirrel said, Sasaki Mito also raised his eyebrows. If he really was such a strong man, he would be really powerful. He hoped that he came here in a friendly way and not to cause trouble.
"The samurai is not a big problem. When he asked Wu Ming about you, he showed no hostility or murderous intent. Maybe he just wants to talk to you about something. But that Sasama-sama..."
The squirrel paused in the middle of his speech.
Sasaki Mito naturally knew what she meant. There were some not very loyal guys in his own stronghold. It seemed that they had defected to the other side and even sent out some information.
But it doesn't matter, because this is the information he wanted the other party to send out. Otherwise, it would be a joke for this information to get out of this Hime Mountain.
“Jung-soo, what methods do you think they will use?”
"It's nothing more than the same old routine, encircling them under an excuse and then looking for an opportunity to charge the mountain. But this time, I'm afraid those of us inside will find a way to destroy some of the traps on the mountain, and then the enemy will be able to charge in."
Sasaki Masahide is the younger brother of Sasaki Goto. He is also considered a strategist here and is quite smart.
"I see. If that's the case, then it's easy. Zhengxiu, you should know what to do. I'll leave it to you."
"Yes." Sasaki Masahide went downstairs to prepare.
Sasaki Mito frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "Squirrel, your current mission is to monitor Ise Samamori and those traitors. Let's let that samurai go for now."
"I see." The squirrel stood up and walked outside.
After she was out the door, nine squirrels jumped onto her shoulders.
"Damn it, was Xiao San killed? That bastard." The squirrel cursed and left the camp.
She didn't notice that at this moment, in the forest on the left side of the camp, on a tall tree, a figure was sitting on a branch, watching everything that happened in the camp, and on his shoulder, there was also a squirrel squatting.
But this squirrel was trembling because the man next to it made it feel scared. He was a very scary guy.
"Oh, that's great, a bandit versus a daimyo seems like a pretty good show."
As he spoke, Xia Zheteng took the squirrel off his shoulder and stroked it a few times. The effect was really good. Under the domineering power of the domineering color, the squirrel was very obedient.
Ise Samamaki was a capable daimyo. It only took him one day to build a defense line to encircle the bandits. Then he waited another day, but to no avail.
The warrior seemed to have disappeared.
"What's going on?" Ise Samamaki, dressed in armor, looked at the counselor beside him.
The counselor's eyes turned and he said, "Maybe the samurai just wanted to inquire about the situation or had other things to do, so he didn't leave here. In that case, why don't we attack the mountain directly? If we capture Sasaki Mito, we can get more workers for our weapons factory here."
Ise Samamaki thought about it and finally nodded, saying that this was possible.
"Attack the mountain." With the order, the people surrounding the mountain began to attack the top of the mountain.
This time, Ise Samamaki sent out 700 soldiers, led by seven samurai, and he didn't believe that he could not defeat the enemy.
Sasaki Mito on the top of the mountain naturally knew that the other party had taken action through the squirrel's report, so he also gave an order.
There were not many bandits, only about 300 people including the leader and his subordinates, but Sasaki Goto was an expert among experts, so he was not afraid of the daimyo Ise Samamori at all.
Seeing the other side attacking the mountain, Sasaki Goto did not defend first, but instead captured people everywhere in the mountain stronghold. After a while, five of his men were captured.
"Why are you arresting us?" The five men shouted in confusion while struggling.
"Why? You have surrendered to Ise Samamaki and destroyed all the traps on the road leading to the stronghold. Why do you think we are arresting you?"
Masahide Sasaki was waving a fan, looking very cultured.
The five men immediately fell silent. The matter had been exposed, and there was no point in saying anything more.
The sword was raised, five heads fell to the ground, the traitor was punished, and the next thing was to fight against Ise Samonokami.
"Don't panic. Since I know there is a traitor in our village, I have naturally made preparations. The traps at the foot of the mountain have been rearranged, and they can't come up."
Sasaki Masahide said with a smug look on his face.
On the tree outside the village, Xia Zheteng raised his eyebrows as he listened to Zhengxiu's words.
"Can't come up? If you can't come up, why would I watch the fun? No, we have to help Daimyo. Let's go."
With a flash of his figure, Xia Zheteng disappeared over the treetops.
At the top of the tree, there was only a confused little squirrel left.
Shu Shu, it seems like I have been released.
Chapter 54 Where is the fun if you don't fight?
Ise Samamaki has already begun to attack the mountain. To be honest, a team of 700 people is already considered a large force in Wano Country. Add to that the samurai in front, this is a big battle in Wano Country.
The people in the stronghold were also very shocked. They also received information that Ise Samamori seemed to want to raze the stronghold to the ground. If they had not been prepared before, they might not have been able to withstand it this time.
But now it’s different. Ise Samamaki probably never thought about what would happen if his people were discovered.
Sure enough, halfway up the mountain, Ise Samamaki suffered casualties.
In a team of 700 people, several scouts in the front row fell into a trap, and nearly twenty people died and more than fifty were injured, reducing the team by one-tenth in an instant.
Ise Samamaki immediately stopped the troops and glared at his adviser.
"Didn't you say that the spies you arranged here had already removed all the traps? How could this happen?"
The counselor was also very embarrassed and said with a bitter face: "There is nothing we can do about this. I guess these are all new traps. I think either the people I set up were discovered, or they changed the location of the traps. In this way, my people can't find them."
Ise Samamori was so angry that he didn't know what to do. If he continued to attack, he might fall into the enemy's traps and continue to injure people. By the time he reached the top of the mountain, he couldn't say how many people would be left.
But if we don't continue the attack, going back now would just be a spectacle for others to see.
Alas, Ise Samamaki sighed, his own counselor was really useless, he couldn't lead them, he simply couldn't lead them. Look at Sasaki's counselor, I think his name was Masahide, he was really excellent.
"Prepare……"
This was a plan to withdraw troops, but Ise Samamaki knew that if he attacked the mountain and killed all his men, it would be a question whether he could still serve as the daimyo of Hime.
So between choosing to suppress the bandits and staying alive, he chose to stay alive.
Will this work? On a tree not far from Ise Samanokami, Xia Zheteng also shook his head.
I thought this Ise Samamaki was so tough, but now he is just like this?
He just got hit hard and is about to go back. Is that right? This won’t do. We can’t let him go back, or the fun will be over.
In that case, make a way for him, right, Sasaki Mito? I'm sorry, but it's you who must get his ability.
Just do it.
Xia Zheteng also aimed at some huge rocks on the top of the mountain, raised his fist and hit them.
"Boom" the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was activated and the ground began to shake.
People on the mountain and below were all shocked. Was this an earthquake?
After all, Wano Country is a country prone to earthquakes, so no one thought there was anything wrong.
There have been earthquakes here before, but never this strong.
Ise Samamori's team was quite experienced in earthquake resistance. After encountering an earthquake in the mountains, they quickly hid behind trees, and they only looked for thick trees.
Sure enough, with the vibration, the rocks above were shaken down and continued to roll down the mountain.
If this thing gets hit, it won't make a sound.
But if you didn't get hit, you're lucky.
Because of the rolling of the rubble, most of the traps set on the mountain failed.
Some pits were exposed.
Some traction traps also had their trip ropes broken, and then they were activated, but to no avail.
After the shaking stopped, a dilapidated road leading up the mountain appeared in front of Ise Samamaki.
Ise Samamori was so happy that he shouted, "Haha, God bless us, the road has been opened. Follow me up, this time, we must kill them."
As he spoke, Ise Samamaki took the naginata beside him and led the team up the mountain.
I have to say that although this daimyo looks a little fat, he should have some strength. After all, the strength of these people in the world of pirates cannot be judged solely by their body shape.
Sasaki's team on the mountain was also shocked. Finally, Sasaki Yuto sighed and said, "Get ready for the battle. We have no choice."
It was too late to say anything at this point, as Ise Samamaki's men had already led the team and rushed up.
For a while, the two sides fought in a group. On a tree in the distance, Xia Zheteng was eating melon seeds while watching the fight below, and he would chuckle from time to time.
That's good.
From the combat perspective, Ise Samamaki still had the advantage, after all, he had more men, and they were all well-trained real soldiers.
The people led by Sasaki were mainly a group of bandits who could not survive and relied on their ruthlessness.
It was the kind of state where I thought, since I can't survive anyway, I won't let you have an easy time. If it weren't for this ruthlessness supporting me, I would have been defeated long ago.
But as time goes by, I'm afraid these people won't be able to hold on for long.
Xia Zheteng ignored these people and just stared at Ise Samamori and Sasaki Mito in the center.
At this time, the two men held their knives, ready to attack at any time.
"Sasaki Goto, the mountain terrain you relied on has disappeared. Your failure is inevitable." Ise Samamori laughed, trying to use this kind of rhetoric to break Sasaki Goto's psychological defenses.
"Hmph, it's still unknown who will win or lose, Samamaki. I know you have the strength, but don't forget, I'm known as the Broken Sasaki Mito."
The two sides looked at each other again, and it was obvious that they were both accumulating their own momentum.
When the momentum reached its peak, the two men rushed towards each other quickly.
"Dang" the naginata faced the katana, the two men fought against each other with great force, the energy of the collision blew away several soldiers who were planning to launch a sneak attack on the side.
[Ding, watching the fun value +1200. ]
It's really nice. This number is not entirely from Ise Samamaki and Sasaki Mito. The two of them are probably between 200 and 300 at most. The rest are provided by those small bandits and soldiers.
At this moment, Xia Zheteng just wanted to say one thing: fight well and don't let me down.
Sabotomo and Goto retreated together, and the two men once again distanced themselves from each other, but this time, they simply took a breath and rushed forward again.
"Naginata, five hundred thousand power."
"One sword flow, swift cut."
Both of them used sword skills, and it was obvious that one used heavy blows while the other used speed directly.
The knife flashed, and the sword energy of Yu Ren hit Zuo Ma Shou first.
However, Sabothomori just grinned and didn't seem to take it seriously at all.
After a "chi chi" sound, Zuo Ma Shou's clothes were torn into pieces, but he was fine. Soon, reflections appeared under the torn clothes.
If you look closely, you can clearly see the armor that Samamori is wearing.
"Kurogu Godo." Sasaki Mito's eyes turned red, this was his family's armor.
Chapter 55: The Bandits' Victory
The Sasaki Goto family is a family of swordsmen, and the Black Armor is a precious armor that has been passed down from generation to generation in his family.
However, it was snatched away by Ise Samamori. Only the two of them knew the specific situation. Anyway, Samamori used the Black Body Five Dodo to directly block Yu Ren's attack.
And Samamori's naginata just happened to sweep over.
"Die, Sasaki Mito. I will take your head to General Orochi to ask for credit."
The huge naginata fell with great force, and it was too late for Sasaki Mito to escape.
There was no other choice but to take the attack head-on. Sasaki Mito raised the knife in his hand and moved upwards to meet the attack.
The huge impact force forced Sasaki Goto to kneel on one knee. Although the naginata was blocked, it pressed Sasaki Goto so hard that he couldn't get up.
Zuo Ma Shang had the advantage.
"Use your ability quickly. If you don't use it now, you may not have a chance later." Looking at Sasaki Mito below, Xia Zheteng said anxiously.
Fortunately, Yuto should have realized that he was no match for the other person with just his swordsmanship, so he held the long sword in his right hand and stretched out his left hand to grab the naginata.
The ability of the Pumpkin Fruit is activated.
Xia Zheteng's eyes lit up, and he saw that Samamori's naginata had its essence absorbed by the power of the fruit.
The essence also slowly melted into Sasaki Mito's sword.
The quality of the sword has been improved. It was originally just an ordinary sword, but now it has reached the fine level. Of course, there is still some gap between it and a good sword.
