Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 204 203. Manpower shortage

"Then according to the original plan, form a team of rogues, add trustworthy people as supervisors, and send them to patrol outside the village. The Ming countryman, Lan En, will be the leader."

Kuro said carefully.

This is their method of using ronin. Most of the Hirata clan's combat power will be sent to the frontal battlefield to assist Ashina's family in their fight against the inner palace.

Even if the rogues thrown outside the village rebel, they pose no threat in terms of intelligence and destructive power. And they can indeed contribute in defensive battles.

"Understood, I will inform Mr. Nogami Gensai of your arrangements later."

Madam Butterfly nodded, indicating that she had received the instruction.

"But what about the supervisor?"

"How about Inosuke?"

After thinking for a while, Jiuro said tentatively. But Madame Butterfly frowned.

"That is your chamberlain, who will protect you at critical moments. It is unwise to be sent outside the manor."

Kuro smiled and waved his hands.

"It's okay, I still have [Wolf] with me."

After the word 'wolf' appeared from Kurang's mouth, a not tall figure appeared in the shadow behind his seat.

About 1.7 meters, the height of an ordinary warrior. Orange blouse, short ponytail.

He knelt on the ground respectfully and raised his head slightly.

The coldness and dullness in those eyes were exactly the same as Madame Butterfly and the burly Owl.

This is also a ninja, and a ninja who specializes in protecting his master.

In other words, he is the best of the best.

However, the burly ninja in the room interrupted at this time.

"Miko-sama, the wolf has other uses. Now that the inner government is about to launch troops, the ninjas on the opposite side must have infiltrated here. I am going to send the wolf to the surrounding area to investigate the situation."

The burly ninja sat cross-legged, with his hands fisted on the ground on both sides, and his body bowed slightly.

"Please understand that most of Ashina's ninja sect, the Yoyo Sect, under my command, have been sent to the frontal battlefield, leaving only two or three people around who are incompetent. As for the work of exploring the surroundings, it is not an elite job. Not feasible.”

After saying that, Xiao Xiao raised his head slightly and looked at Yu Zi and the wolf behind him.

"The transfer order cannot be changed lightly. The matter has come to this. Only Lao Chan, Butterfly and Wolf can be said to be successful in the way of ninja in Pingtianzhuang. Now only the position of Wolf can be transferred."

"I have confidence in him. The wolf is enough to complete the surveillance of the Rongers while carrying out the exploration mission."

As the object of discussion, the wolf's eyes were always lowered. It seems to be just a tool waiting to be used. After confirming the user's wishes, it will be executed without compromise.

The user's wishes and considerations are not his concern.

"I see."

Yuzi pursed her lips and nodded with difficulty. He knew that the inner army was powerful, but it was only now that he felt it.

An attack that was not too big for the Imperial Army made Ashina very nervous.

The opposite side may have just sent a ninja team, but here they have to send out all the ninjas in order to maintain parity in the number of ninjas on the frontal battlefield, so that even the ninjas of the Hirata family's house are not enough.

"Then, let's recall Inosuke, let the wolf complete the mission, and monitor the Ronin team at the same time."

Miko modified her order.

The wolf, on the other hand, accepted the master's order without hesitation.

"As commanded."

Detecting enemy ninja infiltration already represents a thrilling fight between ninjas, while at the same time monitoring a group of ronin patrols. The ninja named [Wolf] did not have any psychological fluctuations in this. All he thought about was completing the mission.

——

As night fell, little lights began to light up in Pingtian Manor.

In ancient times, fuel was a precious resource.

Therefore, among the castle towns where civilians live, only one longhouse is still shrouded in light. Vulgar shouts could be heard all the time.

Lan En lives in this longhouse with a group of ronin. This longhouse will become the settlement base of the ronin group while they are employed by the Hirata clan.

When the night was still dark, the "live chicken" promised by the host as a reward was delivered.

Originally, when Lan En heard that Genzai Nogami only rewarded a live chicken, he wondered whether the ancient Japan was really lacking in products, or maybe the Hirata family's family tradition was not very generous.

A live chicken, fed to a total of thirty men with knives licking the blood. Wouldn't it be enough to feed each person a shred of meat?

But when the Hirata clan's reward came along with his appointment, he twitched the corners of his mouth and realized the value of the 'different world'.

If you raise your neck, you will see that the chicken is 1.7 meters tall!

Can this be considered a poultry? This is obviously about the ‘head’!

A chicken!

This chicken looks stronger than most civilians, with dark feathers all over its body and a bright red comb on its head. The skeleton and biological characteristics look like ordinary poultry, but the size is truly extraordinary.

At a glance, it weighs over a hundred kilograms. No ordinary sheep has such a physique.

"There is definitely something wrong with this place Ashina!"

Lan En is now sitting cross-legged in the main seat of the longhouse hall, with a piece of roasted chicken leg on the dinner plate in his hand. He looked left and right, wondering whether to eat or not.

His military prowess has been proven in front of everyone, and the appointment of Hirata gave him an official guarantee. He sat in the main seat, and most people had no objections.

But most of the meaning is that some people don't think so.

Lan En looked around with the plate in the bustling longhouse, and finally ate the piece of chicken leg.

After all, these Ashina natives have reproduced for dozens of generations, and each generation eats and uses the local water and soil, which seems normal.

And this big chicken is really fragrant. It's tender, chewy, rich in fat, and not bad at all.

While Lan En was slowly chewing the chicken, Kotaro bent over and came to him to give him some food.

It was Kotaro who led him to Pingtian Village.

The Hirata clan would not let the ronin act alone, and few masters would completely trust the ronin group whose bottom line was worrying.

Hirata seemed to think that Kotaro and Lan En were familiar, so he organized dozens of ashigaru including him into Lan En's ronin group, and gathered fifty people.

"Sir, the younger ones in Heihachiro's group just saw them looking at you in a bad way!"

Kotaro looked around very obscenely and spoke in a low voice to Lan En, as if he was revealing a huge secret.

Lan En took the multigrain rice that he had added and thanked him first.

"Thank you very much. Kotaro, could you please stop calling yourself 'little'? It makes me very awkward!"

"No, sir!" Kotaro was shocked that Lan En was actually struggling with such a trivial matter at this time. Someone under his command had a bad eye on the leader's position!

Lan En continued to taste the strong chicken carefully.

It was very noisy in the longhouse, and the wanderers were not sticklers for rules.

But this kind of noise was not enough for Lan En to ignore the sound about five meters away.

He whispered calmly while continuing to pull the chicken.

"I can understand a group of friends who can't stand the idea of ​​foreigners serving as officials. But..."

"You want to take advantage of the chaos to kill me and take away my sword Wu. Where did you get the courage?"

Kotaro shuddered unconsciously. At that moment, he looked into those cat eyes.
