Chapter 287 Teacher Barzel, the doctor seems to have gone mad
"Kill them all! Kill them all!!!"
Noon in the Great Serpent City.
The neighborhood, which should have been warm and cozy, now seemed rather eerie and sinister.
A pale red, hazy mist danced around, as if both concealing and releasing itself.
Hanafza, who led a group of ronin samurai to besiege the nobles, stood beneath the Yamata no Orochi, secretly terrified.
"Bazaar, those women are really crazy."
"I thought the ronin I brought were ruthless enough, but those guys—"
"Hiss!! Another one bitten to death!"
Hearing the occasional gasps of surprise from Hanafza beside him, Bazar shook his head.
"That's not surprising. I heard Gion tell stories about those women who fell on hard times."
"The nobles will repay them tenfold, or even a hundredfold, for how they treated them in the past, now that they have the chance."
In the distance, on the street, the geisha who followed Gion discarded their dulled katanas.
Like demons, several people tackled a nobleman together, followed by nails, fists, and teeth.
They used every attack method they could think of.
Although the battle was fierce, the pressure was not as great as expected.
Bazel turned his gaze to the other side, to the southeastern region under the control of the ronin.
The samurai army brought by Fuugetsu and his men was still putting up a stubborn resistance.
Although they are looking for a way out because they have lost their leader, it is undeniable that...
The casualties they caused far exceeded those of the nobles.
After all, Kurozumi Orochi had borrowed most of the nobles' private soldiers before the war, and these soldiers were all slaughtered one by one by Fukurokuju and his samurai.
It is precisely because of this that the geishas on the other side were able to achieve such brilliant results.
"Hanafza, have your men open some gaps. Jin and Babanuki are still lying in ambush behind Bell and White Dance."
"As long as we put some pressure on them, these people will definitely not dare to stay after leaving the Flower Capital."
"There will definitely be some smart guys among them. That person will guide them back to their respective territories, and then they will break up and hide among the people."
"In order to seize the opportunity for future rise."
"That will be the last hope for these prodigals; they will return to their respective territories as quickly as possible."
"And that's exactly what I want to see."
"Jin and Babanuki's troops have plenty of stamina and energy. Using their troops to deal with these remnants will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Hanafza nodded, signaling Costa, who was standing next to him, to inform his men, while he stayed behind.
"Bazaar, aren't you worried they'll go up the mountain and become bandits?"
"You know, Fujiyama is not small. If they hide, it will be really hard for us to find them."
"Become a bandit?"
As Bazel flicked his tongue, he chuckled, "I'd love for them to become bandits. Once Ashi becomes a general, she'll definitely need to establish a new army."
"At that time, we can use those bandits to establish our authority and also win over a group of loyalists by suppressing them."
"As long as those people taste the sweetness of being cadres..."
"If they accidentally reveal their monthly salary, even more die-hard supporters will join us."
.
"Whether they're after money or something else, it doesn't matter to me."
"All I want is stability, to stabilize the situation in Wano Country as quickly as possible. We have plenty of things like Beli and gold."
"Once this signal appears, Hanafzai, guess how many ambitious people will emerge from the people of Wano Country?"
'
Hanafza felt his head buzzing.
"Enough, Bazel, stop talking. You're making my head spin."
"In conclusion, whether these people flee or become bandits, it won't do us any harm, right?"
'
The Yamata no Orochi flicked out its huge tongue, and the forked end snapped its fingers.
"That's right, no matter which direction they go, it's a route I've calculated in advance."
"The only difference is that the cowardly live longer."
"Smart guy, huh~"
"No one is smarter than me. Those brainless bastards are only fit to be nourishment for Wano Country!"
A red light flashed in the eyes of the eight snakes, and the Observation Haki covering the entire Orochi Castle was activated and then deactivated.
"The fighting momentum is starting to weaken, Hanafza. Accompany Ashi to complete the final inauguration ceremony. I need to stay here and watch the chessboard."
"learn."
After Hanafza had gone far away, Fu Lu Shou jumped out of the darkness again, holding up a piece of intelligence with both hands.
"Do you think I look like someone who can read intelligence?"
Fukurokuju then realized what was happening, hurriedly retrieved the intelligence, and began reporting what the ninja squad had gathered.
"Someone's fleeing towards Nozomi and Udon? Don't worry about it, I expected there would be some self-important fools."
Bazel's perspective at this moment was somewhat unique.
The eight snake heads each looked in eight different directions, and the visions seen by these eyes were all fed back into the brain.
And his feelings—
It's like sitting in a monitoring room, with eight screens in front of you displaying different scenes.
"Don't worry about Rabbit Bowl, Davego and his men are watching over it."
"As for Nozomi, I remember there seemed to be two bridges connecting that particular area —"
"One of them was near the bell, and Babanuki and his men were responsible for guarding it together."
As for the second one, I think the Shandian warriors there will treat them well.
"Don't worry, Fu Lu Shou, Dr. Lauren, who is with those soldiers, will treat them well."
A few days later —
[The border between Ximei and the Flower Capital]
Sal was maintaining his spear with a whetstone.
"Dr. Trafalgar, are they not coming here?"
Ximei is located north of the Flower Capital, separated by a fast-flowing inland river.
The only way to travel smoothly between the two places is by using the bridge.
Trafalgar didn't look up, but pushed up his glasses.
"Don't rush, Sal."
"Didn't you also hear the Den Den Mushi's communication? The Flower Capital is still cleaning up the mess. Those spendthrift dogs can't be that fast."
As soon as he finished speaking, Trafalgar stopped turning the page and looked up at the other side of the bridge.
At the same time, Sal dropped the whetstone, put Windbeca into the groove of his slipper, and took out Cloud Shell from the cloth belt at his waist with his left hand.
"All hands on deck!"
Upon hearing this command, all the Shandian warriors, regardless of what they were doing, immediately lay down and prepared for the upcoming battle.
Half a minute later, the first samurai emerged from the woods and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no enemies near the bridge.
"Damn it! Those bastards dared to ambush us warriors!"
"Once we get back, we must gather the rest of Lady Fuyuki's subordinates and march back to the Flower Capital!"
One after another, warriors emerged from the bushes behind them.
1, 2 —
Hiding in waist-high grass, Sal used his Observation Haki to calculate the fleeing enemies.
"There are 129 people in total. We can't sense anything beyond that. Should we take action?"
Lauren shook her head slightly: "No rush, be patient."
"Doctors have a lot of things to prepare before they start a surgery."
He drew out a short knife inlaid with sea stone.
Under Thrall's increasingly strange gaze, a bottle of red potion appeared.
"What is this? Is it alcohol?"
"Iodine solution, for disinfection."
Seeing the doctor calmly disinfect the short knife that was about to be used to chop someone up, Sal fell silent.
He then touched his forehead with the back of his hand.
"No fever—"
"Strange, am I hallucinating?"
"Doctor, um...aren't we going to chop someone up later?"
Lauren nodded: "Yes, but that doesn't stop me from disinfecting my weapons; it's for their own good."
"If they don't die, they won't die from infections like tetanus later on."
"We can save a lot of money on medical expenses and also get free labor."
Lauren paused abruptly, seemingly worried that her allies wouldn't believe her, and looked at Sal with a serious expression.
"This is a good thing."
Thrall: ————
Teacher Bazel, the doctor seems to have gone mad —
This guy didn't want to kill anyone at all; he was just trying to generate business for himself and earn free labor for the future of Jiuli!
"Saly, we need to be more humane."
Lauren handed over the iodine solution in her hand. "Here, have some. It's for the enemy's good."
"The enemy is also a person. As a doctor, I can't just stand by and watch someone die. Disinfect the weapon so I can save myself some trouble later."
Sal's lips twitched, and he politely declined, saying, "No, thank you, I can manage."
"I promise I won't cause you any trouble, Doctor. I'll kill the enemy in one strike."
While the two were chatting, a large group of more than 100 samurai ran onto the bridge.
When the last of them reached the bridge, Sal suddenly stood up.
After shouting "Go!", he pressed the button on the cloud shell in his hand.
call----
Numerous soft island clouds were ejected from the shell, reacting rapidly upon contact with the air.
At the same time, Shandian warriors also ran out from other directions on both sides of the bridge, and this group of people pressed down on the cloud shells in their hands at the first moment.
To create a battleground that is more suitable for oneself.
"I'll go first, Sal. These guys are all patients from the old era."
Lauren pushed up her glasses with her left middle finger and rushed out alone.
With a twist of his right wrist, wisps of gray mist swirled around the blade.
"The most important thing to make a patient lose their resistance is to sever their tendons and meridians."
As the right foot stomps forward, the thigh muscles expand and tighten, and the speed of the charge suddenly increases.
call out---
A blurry streak of light rushed into the enemy ranks.
"Elbows, armpits, groin —"
A flash of light appeared.
Before the leading warrior could scream, Lauren suddenly thrust out his left hand.
A full-force punch lands on the target's throat.
"Containment successfully achieved."
"Doctor, there's no need to analyze it in such detail."
Several figures surged forward, with Sal, leading the charge, plunging his spear into the mouth of the warrior who had been severely wounded by Lauren.
"Everyone, Wind Shells, Flame Shells, launch a combined attack!"
"Yes, Captain Sal!"
A dozen or so Shandian warriors took out two kinds of shells from their bags and pressed the button.
The gas accumulated inside the shell was quickly released.
The flames emitted along with the flames ignited the gas.
boom-!!!
The flames, which were originally small in area, instantly turned into a wave of fire.
Thrall tucked his spear into the cloud beside him and took down the steel barrel hanging on his back.
"Incendiary Cannon"
Gas spewed from the wind-blown shell condensed and accumulated in the cannon barrel. With the addition of an internal ignition device, a laser beam as thick as a thigh pierced through several warriors.
"Enemy! Enemy attack!!!"
Just as Bazel had predicted, these fleeing warriors dared not linger and attempted to escape back to their familiar homeland via familiar routes.
Exhausted from their efforts, they had little room to resist.
Flying freely among the island clouds spewed by the Cloud Shells, the Shandian warriors skillfully employed various shell attacks without the slightest pressure.
By the time the first round of the Wind and Flame Twin Shells' combined attack was over, more than half of the warriors had been killed.
"Scalpel - A renowned surgeon's cutting."
Lauren, who had finally gotten her chance to attack, stepped forward and charged, her body moving with her blade.
They charged into the enemy ranks with an almost bizarre pattern of action.
As he emerged from the flash of the blade, he took a medicine bottle from his waist with his left hand and poured the red liquid inside onto the blade.
Ding--! !
Puff puff--
The human body, severed in two by Lauren's blade, fell to the ground.
"Disinfection is of paramount importance."
After putting away the medicine bottle, Lauren raised her left hand and used the blood on her hand to comb all her bangs back to the back of her head.
Gently push the frame with your middle finger.
"Patients, stand still and don't disturb the doctor's work."
