Chapter 218: Infiltration Begins
The sun setting in the west reflected the dense clouds covering the northern half of the sky, the sky began to take on the color of sunset, and the light on the ground became darker as a result.
While wiping the sweat that was about to drip down his chin, Ogata looked at the huge wooden wall in front of him and muttered:
"It's finally here... It's the same as what Zonghai said... The wooden walls around Fenghe Village are at least three rooms..."
Ogata and others set off early in the morning, until now it was dusk, and finally arrived at Fenghe Village, which was surrounded by wooden walls.
The reason why it took so long to reach under the wooden wall of Fenghe Village was because Ogata and the others spent most of their time avoiding ogres.
From Tenmanji Temple to Fenghe Village, Ogata and others encountered three waves of ogres.
Ogata's top priority now is to rush to Fenghe Village, but they don't have so much free time to waste on these ogres.
So for these three waves of ogres, Ogata and others relied on the terrain to throw them all away.
So it took a lot of time.
Without those ogres blocking the way, with the footsteps of Xufang and others, they could have reached Fenghe Village before noon.
"Ha... ha... ha... ha..." Matsumoto leaned on a big tree next to him, panting heavily.
"Hey, brother Matsumoto, are you alright?" Matsumoto's violent panting made Mucun feel concerned about him.
"Ha... still... not bad... ha... just... I have no strength at all... ha..."
"Hey, hey." Mucun said while patting Matsumoto's back, "Why is your physical strength so weak? You have no physical strength after just two strokes."
"I'm a doctor..." Matsumoto said angrily, "I'm different from those of you who practice martial arts..."
"Okay..." Gamiya who was looking at the back murmured, "There are no ogres chasing... It seems that this place should be safe..."
Speaking of this, Mamiya paused.
Then he sighed lightly and said with emotion:
"Are those ogres... I didn't expect that they were really immortal..."
today,
It was Mamiya and Mucun who encountered ogres for the first time.
When encountering the first wave of cannibals, in order to personally test whether the cannibals are really unkillable, Jian Gong and Mu Cun even rushed up and swung their knives to test it.
Then he intuitively felt the horror of the characteristic that ogres can't be killed no matter how hard they try.
While Makimura was taking care of Matsumoto and Mamiya was checking to see if there was any ogre coming from behind, Ogata and Atachi were observing the tall wooden wall in front of them.
The wooden walls are rather crudely made.
It's just tying thick wooden pillars together and standing them up.
Each of the wooden pillars is also uneven in length, some wooden pillars are longer, and some wooden pillars are shorter.
It can be seen that when making this wooden wall, the builders were very anxious, and they didn't bother to cut each wooden column to the same length, as long as it was long enough.
Behind the wooden walls, wooden watchtowers stand at intervals.
These wooden watchtowers are slightly higher than the wooden walls. As long as you stand on them, you can see the sights and movements outside the walls.
Not far from Ogata and the others, there is a watchtower, but there is no one standing guard on this watchtower.
Although there was no one standing guard there, Ogata and the others still hid in a hidden bush in an orderly manner.
Even if there were people standing on the watchtower, Ogata and the others couldn't be seen due to the angle of view.
Looking at the huge wooden wall and those watchtowers in front of him, A-Ming said softly:
"It seems...there must be some good carpenters in Fenghe Village."
"This wooden wall is fine, but those watchtowers are not something laymen can make."
"It's just that the layout of these watchtowers is quite amateurish. This amateurish layout method leads to quite a lot of blind spots for the guards on the watchtowers."
"For those who are good at sneaking in, this kind of wooden wall is the type that can easily escape surveillance and climb in."
"Fenghe Village is just an ordinary village after all." Ogata said with a wry smile, "Do you think there will be defense masters who are good at city defense? They can build such a huge wooden wall and match it with such a There are so many watchtowers, I think it’s pretty amazing.”
After observing the wooden walls of Toyowa Village, Ogata and Atachi turned around and started a battle meeting with Mamiya and others behind them.
"Okata and I will sneak in after dark." Ogata said, "The three of you just wait outside the wall."
"Machi and I will be back as soon as possible."
"Master Mamiya, Lord Mucun." With a pitiful look, Matsumoto grabbed the sleeves of both Mamiya and Mucun, "Please protect me both of you!"
"Don't worry, Brother Matsumoto." Mucun grabbed Matsumoto's shoulders, "There are no ogres in this place, so it's very safe. Let's chat here while waiting for Brother Ogata and the others to come back!"
"I hope Fenghe Village can have more useful information about 'immortality'..." Mamiya muttered.
"Compared to this, I want to know if there are any extra boats in Fenghe Village." Ogata continued.
...
...
Ogata and the others hid in the bushes, eating their own rice balls to recover their strength, while silently waiting for the night to fall.
It's cloudy tonight.
Layers of clouds cover the sky, lying between the sky and the earth.
After the night fell, Ah-cho looked up at the night sky, and then said softly:
"You're lucky...it's cloudy tonight...Ayi, I'm ready to go."
"En." While talking, Ogata silently took off the light green haori on his body, and handed it to Mucun next to him for safekeeping.
The light onion color is too bright, and it is easy to be spotted when wearing it.
Except for this light onion-colored haori, Ogata's rest of the clothes are dark colors, the kimono is dark blue, and the hakama and socks are black.
So as long as the haori is taken off, the clothes on Ogata's body are very suitable for use as "diving suits".
In addition to handing the haori to Mucun and the others for safekeeping, the things that were handed over to Mucun and the others were the knives that Ogata had picked up since he landed on the island.
With a lot of knives on his back, it is naturally inconvenient to move and needs to sneak as dexterously as possible.
Therefore, Ogata only kept the dao and wakizasa at his waist, and temporarily handed over all the other knives to Mucun and the others who stayed outside the wall for safekeeping.
"I wish you prosperous martial arts." Mamiya softly wished Ogata and Atachi.
"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "Ah-cho and I will go back quickly."
After all, Xu turned his head and observed the watchtower closest to them together with A-Ming.
On that watchtower, there was still no one standing guard on it.
After confirming that no one inside the wooden wall was monitoring the movements of Ogata and his area, Ogata waved to A-Machi:
"Machi, let's go."
"Um."
Ogata and A-Ming lowered their weight, rushed out of the bushes, and rushed under the wooden wall.
The two did not immediately start climbing the wall in a hurry.
Instead, put your ears against the wooden wall and listen to the movement inside the wall.
