Then he walked towards the fence of the sentry tower, lowered his head and carefully explored the place below.
Mori Masaru Kenji rubbed his eyes, his pupils quickly dilated, and Okubo beside him could even see his slightly glowing eyes.
"Did someone come out to use the toilet?" Okubo saw Morimasa Kenji looking so alert and couldn't help but comfort him.
They explored the area around Feimu Village and found that there were almost no people around.
Apart from villagers who have urgent matters, who would wander around the village at night?
"I hope it's too much to worry about, but let's cheer up. I can only hear voices but can't see people, which is a bit strange."
Mori Masa Kenji looked around and could only hear sounds, but did not find any figures, which made him a little unsure.
Maybe he was hallucinating again? Or maybe the person coming out happened to be in the blind spot of his sight?
After all, Mori Masa Kenji's body has also undergone some changes like other villagers, the most obvious one is his powerful hearing that has affected his daily life.
Sometimes in the dead of night, there would be faint sounds in his ears, making him unable to tell whether it was tinnitus or something happening late at night.
To this extent, his hearing was actually weakened. However, Mori Masaru Kenji didn't have too many worries. The price required to get rid of evil spirits should be more or less.
If he could be cured of the legendary evil spirit that could kill people without paying anything and was more terrifying than the great plague, he would actually have doubts.
Below the sentry tower, in the blind spot of the two men's sight, several resistance soldiers dressed as pirates were lying steadily in the shadow of the ground, not even taking a few breaths.
The firelight on the sentry tower in the corner of his eye stopped shaking, and the rebels below began to communicate.
[Who made a bad move just now! Do you want to have a taste of military law? 】
One of the leading team leaders changed his gestures rapidly and asked the team members behind him.
The defense of this village is only at the level of an ordinary village. The setting of guard towers, the concealment of traps...etc., were full of loopholes in the eyes of these elite rebels.
But for such a simple sneak assassination mission, he was almost discovered by the villagers on this simple sentry tower.
How can this not make the rebel squad leader angry?
If he hadn't been on a mission now, he would have found out the stupid guy behind him and dealt with him on the spot as a warning to others.
Seeing that the prostrate figure behind him didn't make any movement, the captain's anger gradually weakened.
The top priority now is to blind the "eyes" of this village, and everything else must be done later.
【Prepare! 】
The squad leader's prostrate posture changed to a half-crouch, and his palms were slightly raised, making him stand out among the low figures.
【Go to the tower! 】
With a change of gesture, the half-crouching team leader climbed up the guard tower quickly and quietly like a dexterous cheetah.
Chapter 414 Attack in the middle of the night
2024-01-14
The rebels who attacked Feimu Village lived up to their reputation as elites. A sergeant wearing armor and holding a sword was climbing quickly on the pillar of the sentry tower.
From a distance, it looks like a secret cheetah ready to go, warming up before killing its prey.
The voice of the rebels was undoubtedly faint to ordinary people, but to Mori Masa Kenji's ears, it was no different than thunder.
"Da da da!"
"Squeak-"
"Squeak-"
……
The sound of palms slapping against the wooden pillars, the sound of fingernails digging into the wood, and the overwhelmed wail of the sentry tower itself all flooded into Mori Masa Kenji's ears at this moment.
This is definitely not an auditory hallucination, but someone wants to climb the tower!
"Okubo! Prepare to fight, someone..."
Just as Kenji Mori was about to remind his partner to prepare for battle, he saw a shadow appear in his eyes.
The ferocious face, fierce eyes, and blood-stained armor undoubtedly told Mori Masaru Kenji that this person was a vicious pirate.
But Feimu Village is located inland of Yaoji Island, and there are no people around it. How can any pirates raid here?
But Mori Masa Kenji couldn't control so much anymore. He only knew that if he didn't take action, the bright sword would hit Okubo's neck.
It was too late, but it was not long before Mori Masa Kenji casually picked up the burning firewood in the brazier next to him and threw it towards the leaping rebels.
Although this may burn Okubo, as long as it can interfere with the movement of the rebels swinging their swords, it will be worth it.
"So fast!" The rebel in the air felt as if his vision flickered, and the spinning burning wood flew towards him.
"boom!"
The resistance army was not a vegetarian either. He made a prompt decision and threw out the storage bag from his waist, which happened to deflect the flying fire wood.
Immediately, he swung his sword heavily at Okubo in front of him, as if he was vowing to take his life.
"when--"
But what came from his hand was not the pleasure that the sword brought when cutting flesh and blood, but the shock force that almost made his arm numb.
Not only that, what was splashed around was not bright red blood, but shimmering blade fragments.
The battle between Mori Masa Kenji and the rebel sergeant only happened in the blink of an eye. In Okubo's eyes, he only heard Mori Masa Kenji shout in surprise, and then he felt a pain in his neck.
Instinctively, Okubo waved his arm back, and the strong wind caused by it made the firelight in the sentry tower tremble a little.
"boom!"
Okubo only felt that his arm touched something soft, and then a black shadow flew out, even destroying the railings of the sentry tower.
"Is this..., someone is attacking me?!"
Okubo looked at the blood stains remaining on the ground, and his expression suddenly changed.
He quickly picked up the iron bar next to him and stood back to back with Mori Masa Kenji.
"Did you see who it was?"
"Maybe it's a pirate... Let's forget about it for now. Are you okay?"
Okubo heard this and touched the burning back of his neck and took out a few uneven scales.
"Haha, you always say that the things on your body are ugly, thanks to it today." Mori Masa Kenji saw the blood-stained scales in Oku's hand, and took a deep breath and joked.
Was that a pirate just now? Doesn't Mori Masa think that pirates' skills are so superb? Weapons can be so sophisticated?
You know, the scales on Okubo's body cannot be easily chopped with ordinary swords.
Today, Feimu Village may encounter an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.
Looking up at the bronze bell not far away, Morimasa no longer hesitated. He broke away from Okubo's bumpy but solid back and ran towards the direction of the wood.
Only this big bell can transmit the sound to the whole village, and only this big bell can make the whole village alert immediately.
"Boom-"
But before Mori Masa Kenji could take action, a long and loud bell sounded in his ears.
Immediately, Feimu Village became visibly brighter. Like a sleeping giant, various organs in his body are rapidly reviving.
"It seems that the other guys are more capable than us." Mori Masaru Kenji laughed a few times, and then, not to be outdone, he rang the bronze bell heavily.
"Boom, buzz, buzz—"
For a time, the long-lasting sound of the bell echoed around Feimu Village, causing everyone inside to wake up.
"boom!"
It seemed that the attackers were a little angry because they did not deal with the sentry tower of Feimu Village immediately.
They no longer concealed their whereabouts and began to use various powerful methods.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the sentry tower surrounding Feimu Village. Since it is no longer possible to hide the whereabouts, it is always right to let the information leak out as late as possible.
The flames exploded, and in the eyes of Okubo and Morimasa Kenji, the sentry towers, the tallest building in Feimu Village, were falling one after another.
The sentry tower that Feimu Village had worked so hard to build was now like a rotten tree, unable to withstand the strong wind.
"Pirates can also bring bombs?" Okubo gasped when he saw the scene of raging fire in front of him.
The houses in Feimu Village are all made of wood. If the fire spread, it would be unthinkable!
"Maybe he's not a pirate?" Mori Masa Kenji secretly spat, and then said urgently to Okubo: "Okubo, let's go down, the sentry tower is already a living target!"
"understand!"
Okubo didn't hesitate and jumped directly from the observation room of the sentry tower.
"It's different if you have good physical fitness." Senzheng shook his head and jumped down.
"Boom!"
Shortly after the two people jumped, a violent explosion occurred in the sentry tower behind them.
The sweeping fireball spread upwards and soon turned the entire sentry tower into a striking fire tower.
"boom!"
"Clap!"
The sounds of Okubo and Morimasa Kenji's landing were completely different, but they both landed safely from the sentry tower more than ten meters high.
Before they could even take a few breaths, the two saw several figures surrounding them from the darkness.
Looking at the sentry tower with flames in front of him, Mori Masa Kenji took out the two swords from his waist and asked with a wry smile:
"Everyone, has Feimoku Village offended the general or the miko-sama? Killing them all would be detrimental to their morality."
The people wearing pirate armor looked at each other and said nothing.
"The shogunate and the rebels? Aren't they pirates?"
Okubo took off his shirt, revealing his monster-like body.
Snake scales, crab armor, dragon skin...the armor and skin of various known and unknown creatures were kneaded together and covered on the human body named "Okubo".
The thick scaly skin is uneven and undulating. Others may think this is caused by Okubo's skin growing irregularly on its own.
