I formed the strongest swordsman group

When the news that "Yamazaki Heijiro provoked Tachibana Aoto, and he and his younger brothers were arrested by Tachibana Aoto" spread to the Kusunoki-gumi's headquarters, a group of core members of the Kusunoki-gumi, headed by Ayase Taichi, They all yelled out all the curse words in Japanese.

How to deal with this sudden crisis?

The Nanmu Group is roughly divided into two factions - the "moderate faction" and the "radical faction".

The former thinks: We must visit the Shinsengumi headquarters immediately! He apologized humbly and asked for Qingdeng's understanding.

The representative figure is this thin young man named Suzuki Nizo.

As for the latter, they think: Show respect to Qingden with a respectful attitude? Then where can we put the face of our Nanmu group?

The representative figure is the fat man who is competing with Suzuki Nizo: Nozawa Harunai.

"You are really crazy!"

The thin young man... Suzuki Jinzo shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I really don't understand. What's there to argue and hesitate about?"

"The other party is the governor of Gyeonggi Province! A benevolent king who is powerful in all directions!"

"In addition to humbly begging each other for forgiveness, is there any other way we can go?"

The fat man... Nozawa Harundai snorted coldly:

"Suzuki-kun, there is no need for you to yell and scream, just keep your voice down if you have reason!"

"I have no objection to apologizing to Tachibana Aoden."

"However, I always stick to my point of view: we should not be humble in front of Tachibana Aoden!"

"Who are we?"

"We are the Nanmu Group with more than 200 members now!"

"We hold the righteousness of 'respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians'!"

"We even have more capable warriors than Tachibana Aoden's Shinsengumi!"

"Today, we are a powerful force that cannot be underestimated in Kyoto Town!"

"Suzuki-kun, your idea is to put us in a low status of being 'far inferior to the Shinsengumi'!"

"Going to the door to apologize like a little brother with a smile on your face? Where is the face of our Nanmu team? Where is the dignity?"

"Suzuki-kun! Wake up!"

"We are no longer the humble Yakuza!"

"We should get along with Tachibana Aoden on an equal footing!"

Suzuki Jinzo opened his eyes wide, then immediately frowned and his face turned red.

"Face? Dignity? You guys are really crazy!"

"It seems that the smooth development in recent years has really made it difficult for you to carry your own weight!"

"The words you just said, 'Wake up', I will give them back to you as they are!"

"You... are wrong! You are the ones who should wake up the most!"

Suzuki Nizo turned his eyes and scanned a circle of "radical" members represented by Nozawa Harunai.

"Put away your arrogant and self-righteous ideas!"

"Righteous? A man who can fight? This is hilarious!"

“You’ve shouted slogans so much that you’ve convinced yourself?!”

"Do you really think of yourselves as chivalrous and courageous people with lofty ideals?"

"Do you really regard us and the Kusunoki-gumi as a powerful organization that plays an important role in Kyoto?"

"Come on!"

"I can hardly figure out whether your thoughts are just nonsense, or whether they are truly sincere!"

"In that case, let me explain it clearly!"

"The bullshit principle of 'respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians'!"

"You might as well go and investigate. How many of our subordinates really take this so-called righteousness seriously?"

"I'm afraid there are many people who can't even write the Chinese characters for 'respect the king and repel the barbarians'!"

"We just changed our skin to make it easier to make money! At our core, we are still the same Yakuza!"

"As for what you said, 'There are more warriors than Tachibana Aoden's Shinsengumi'... what a big joke!"

"The 'fightable men' you talk about, do you mean those people who come here just to get benefits?"

"How many of them are vulnerable zombies?"

"How many of them are losers who can only thrive when they bully defenseless people?"

"You expect them to fight and fight hard?"

"The Shinsengumi you despise is an army composed of warriors carefully selected by Tachibana Aoden!"

"With your so-called 'fightable men', let alone against the Shinsengumi! Whether you can deal with Tachibana Aoto alone is a big question!"

After roaring, Suzuki Nizō turned around again and faced Ayase Taichi.

"Mr. Ayase! Please don't hesitate any more!"

"Time is precious. The sooner we act and apologize to Tachibana Aoden, the easier it will be to gain the other party's favor!"

"We don't yet understand Tachibana Aoden's character."

"We still don't know whether he wants to be a corrupt official who can eliminate warts and ulcers, or whether he wants to be a good official who fulfills his duties."

"If it's the former, then everything is easy to say."

"But if it's the latter, it's going to be tricky!"

"No matter what, you are right to act cautiously and try to make good friends with each other!"

"If you hesitate, you will let precious opportunities pass by!"

Speaking of this, Suzuki Jinzo paused for a moment, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and continued:

"Mr. Ayase, if it were you in the past, you would be able to quickly see the stakes involved."

"Could it be that...even you have been corrupted by the current comfortable and smooth life?"

As soon as Suzuki Nizo finished speaking, Nozawa Harunai was like a cat smelling fishy smell, he hurriedly said loudly:

"Mr. Suzuki! Watch your words! How can you slander the leader?"

Suzuki Nizo replied without giving in:

"If everyone is like you and only picks up the good things they hear, the Nanmu-gumi will always be just a Yakuza group that makes a living by oppressing the people!"

The eyes of everyone in the room were focused on Ayase Taichi.

Ayase Taichi folded his arms, thinking deeply, and frowned into the character "川".

"...Suzuki-kun, it's not that I can't understand the points you made, but...I have to agree: Nozawa-kun's proposition also makes sense..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to sense something. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

Such behavior naturally caused confusion among the people around him. .

Nozawa Harundai asked:

"Mr. Ayase, what's wrong?"

"...It must be a mouse."

Ayase Taichi silently withdrew his gaze from staring at the ceiling.

"I just seemed to hear strange movements on the ceiling."

…

…

An alley outside the Kusunoki Group's main formation——

Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap...

The crisp sound of footsteps that is so familiar.

Qingdeng, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes.

At this moment, I saw Aito Dauma sitting on a wooden box with a golden sword. Hijikata Toshizo, Kondo Isamu, Shannan Keisuke, Kiyokawa Hachiro, and the captains of the sword team headed by Souji formed a fan shape. , standing behind him.

Mai Kinoshita, wearing light clothes, ran towards Aomori like a whirlwind.

Incredibly fast footwork has always been Kinoshita Mai's specialty.

She was originally just a small black dot in Qingdeng's field of vision, but she appeared in front of Qingdeng with just a snap of her fingers.

"Awu, how is the situation?"

Qingden asked bluntly.

"Everything has been checked!"

It was obvious that she had just infiltrated the Kusunoki group's main formation and ran all the way back, but Kinoshita Mai was neither blushing nor out of breath, and her breathing was as stable as if she had just finished a walk.

"This is a diagram of the internal structure of Kusunoki-gumi's main formation. Since I'm not very good at drawing, the content may be a little ugly, so please forgive me."

As she spoke, she took out a simple blueprint from her arms and spread it out in front of everyone.

Qingdeng and the people behind him all looked over.

"This is a warehouse where weapons are stored. I did not find iron cannons, large barrels and other firearms; this is their rest room, and many people are gathering here... According to my statistics, the number of enemies currently entrenched in it should be There are hundreds of people."

Kinoshita Mai pointed to various places on the map and explained in detail.

"Ayase Taichi is holding a meeting in this room on the top floor. From their conversation, it sounds like the participants should be senior cadres of the Kusunoki group."

In just a moment, she outlined every important point in Kusunoki's main formation that required more attention one by one.

After her explanation ended, Qingdeng nodded slightly:

"Ah Wu, thank you for your hard work. You can go down and rest first."

Then, holding on to the saber at his waist, he slowly stood up and turned to look at the generals behind him.

"Have you all remembered the information A Wu sent back?"

The Souji and others nodded.

"Then... come on!"

After that, he took the lead and stepped out of the alley.

Crash, lala, lala... The Shinsengumi soldiers lurking deep in the alleys followed closely behind.

Under the cover of darkness, they kept their mouths shut the whole time without saying a word, and they rushed like a tide towards the majestic mansion not far away, which was still brightly lit.

Within a moment, the originally quiet mansion was filled with dark figures.

Tonight's battle is the first battle of the Shinsengumi.

If they can't even win the first battle, then the Shinsengumi will never be able to hang out in Kyoto again.

Therefore, this is a battle that can only be won but not lost.

Ever since, in order to achieve a complete victory, Qingteng decided to adopt the strategy of "killing the chicken with a knife" - the entire Shinsengumi army was dispatched!

Under Qingdeng's coordination, tonight's battle plan is as follows:

He, Toshizo Hijikata, and Isamu Kondo led the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th teams of the Metropolitan Police Bureau and the Battō Team to attack the Kusunoki Group's main formation head-on.

Shannan Keisuke led the fifth, seventh and tenth teams to surround the main formation of the Kusunoki Group, forming the first blockade to prevent any fish that slipped through the net from escaping.

The 6th, 8th, and 9th teams, led by Qinghe Hachiro, blocked the streets outside the Nanmu group's main formation to form a second blockade to prevent unrelated people from approaching the battlefield.

In other words, Aoto, Toshizo Hijikata, Isamu Kondo, Souji Okita, Shinpachi Nagakura, Ichi Saito, and Kamo Serizawa will form the attack arrow to face the hundreds of members of the Kusunoki group!

"...Tonight's mission is only one: kill every enemy you encounter!"

Qingdeng, who was standing at the front of the teams, turned sideways and scanned the faces of the soldiers one by one with his sharp eyes like an eagle.

"After tonight, there will be no Kusunoki-gumi in Kyoto!"

"Those who are timid in the face of battle and do not shrink from the former will be punished on the spot!"

Qingdeng's eyes burst out with an icy chill.

The people who were swept away by this chill all had serious faces and a chill in their hearts.

"Follow me!"

The next moment, the sword flashed wildly - the tall gate tower instantly turned into thousands of fragments, scattering in all directions!

The silence of the night was broken.

Shouting to the sky!

As if a hornet's nest had been stung, the alarmed lofty ideals rushed out in confusion.

Then, they were shattered and mutilated like water drops hitting a rock!

Qingden is like the incarnation of Yaksha.

The talent "Lonely +3" is activated!

His eyes were like lightning as he galloped forward and jumped into the middle of the enemy group on the road.

Someone bumped into Qingdeng head-on.

"You are……"

As soon as he started questioning, Qingdeng slashed his neck, and a human head, still full of shock on his face, fell to his feet.

Immediately afterwards, he slashed someone's neck diagonally, then adjusted the direction of the tip of the knife to pierce the chest of another person. When he retracted the knife, he chopped the third person to the ground.

In just the blink of an eye, several people were knocked down in succession.

In such chaotic fighting situations, Qingden would usually never look at the bodies that died under his own sword.

The corpse was still rolling, and his knife was already preparing for the next move, creating the next corpse.

"Who are you?! Do you know where this place is?!"

A certain guy shouted loudly and rushed over like a gust of wind.

Qingden flipped his right wrist, changed the holding of the Ding Guishen in his palm from an upright to an inverted grip, raised the sword up, and knocked the sword from the opponent's hand with the bottom of the handle.

The opponent's skill was unexpectedly good. After the sword was released, he quickly pulled out his spare wakizashi and used Huashan's force-cleaving posture to chop down the wakizashi that was raised above his head. The momentum was so fierce that it looked like a giant sword. The mountain suddenly collapsed.

At the moment when Wakizashi's sharp blade was about to fall on Aoto's head, Aoto suddenly rushed forward, bent his knees and threw himself into the opponent's arms. While dodging the opponent's attack, he knocked the opponent staggering. , almost fell to the ground.

Qingdeng took advantage of the opportunity and stabbed the knife into his throat from below, neatly taking away another life.
