"I think Majima-sama's plan is very good!"

Kaneshiro, who regarded Ogata as a role model, was the first to express his agreement with Ogata's simple and crude plan.

Huosaka followed closely behind.

Hi Sakamoto is also the kind of person who is very simple and crude in his thinking and behavior, so Ogata's plan suits him very well.

"Do you want to directly attack their stronghold? This is a good plan!"

"The small group of people they sent to 'make suggestions' to the villagers is gone. They cannot remain indifferent."

"Their small group of people has not returned for a long time. They will definitely suspect that something has happened to this village."

"It would be troublesome if they knew that the people in this village invited samurai to help."

"While the bandits don't know that people from this village have invited samurai, the best thing to do is to take the lead."

After both Hosaka and Kaneshiro expressed their approval of Ogata's plan, only Tsuchiya and Mizuno were left to express their opinions.

Tsuchiya, who was not very talkative, rarely said a long sentence at this time:

"I also agree to take the lead and go straight to Huanglong."

"But this is easier said than done."

"That group of bandits has a total of 42 people. Even though 12 have been killed now, there are still 30 left."

"And there are only five of us."

"It's too dangerous for me to defeat 30 bandits with only 5 people, even if Majima-kun's swordsmanship is extraordinary."

"You can't rush straight into the bandit's stronghold headlessly."

"We have to think of a detailed strategy to deal with the bandits entrenched in the stronghold."

"So I have a strategy."

Tsuchiya, who spoke very little like a mute, actually formulated a strategy, which surprised everyone present, so they all listened attentively.

"Let's find a way to sneak into their stronghold."

Tsuchiya said word for word.

"Assassinate their leader."

"The bandits are just a bunch of rabble."

"Without the leadership of the leader, they will be just a piece of sand."

"As long as their leader is gone, our chances of winning will be greatly improved in one fell swoop."

Tsuchiya Yan stated his plan concisely and concisely.

As soon as he finished telling his plan, Huosaka showed a wry smile:

"Shoot the man first, the horse... Your plan sounds great, but the question is how do we sneak into the bandit's stronghold and assassinate their leader?"

As soon as Huosaka said this, the atmosphere at the scene and everyone's expressions became heavy.

Even Tsuchiya, who proposed this "assassination plan", pursed his lips and had a solemn expression.

Only Ogata and Atachi looked normal.

After the two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, Oufang folded his hands in front of his chest and said:

"Sneaking into the bandits' stronghold and killing their leader is a good plan. It's very sound."

"How about we do it more thoroughly?"

"Not only assassinate their leader, but also assassinate all targets in their stronghold that can be assassinated."

Ogata's words shocked the entire audience.

"Mashima-sama, you are right..." Huosaka hesitated, "But the question is...how to sneak in?"

Hearing this question from Kasaka, Ogata smiled and shrugged.

"About this...you don't have to worry."

As Ogata spoke, he turned to look at the sky outside.

"It's almost nine o'clock (12 noon) now. After we finish lunch and build up our strength, we will ask this guy to lead us to their stronghold."

Ogata nuzzled towards Ohno who was being tied up by Wu Huada.

"After arriving at their stronghold, stay still and wait for dark."

"After it gets dark, my wife and I will take action first."

"My wife and I will sneak into their stronghold at night and eliminate some of the bandits in the dark."

Ogata raised his hand and scratched his neck horizontally.

"My wife and I have reduced the number of bandits to almost the same level. I will give you a signal and you will attack together."

Ogata simply stated the specific battle plan he had just drawn up.

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Huosaka was the first to widen his eyes and asked Ogata:

"Mashima-sama, do you still plan to take Ling Zheng with you to defeat the bandits? Do you want Ling Zheng to sneak into the bandits' stronghold with you?"

"Um...with all due respect, it is very difficult to sneak into a place and carry out an assassination operation without anyone noticing..."

"I know." Ogata smiled and nodded, "But I still know a little bit about sneaking in and hiding my body."

"As for my wife..."

"Don't underestimate your wife."

Ogata changed into a half-joking tone.

"Her skills are far better than you think. At least she is stronger than the bandits who attacked today."

"And she's also very good at sneaking into places without anyone noticing."

"It would be better to say that my skills of sneaking in and hiding my body were originally taught to me by my wife."

"It's just a bandit stronghold. I have the confidence to sneak into it and assassinate all the bandits who can be assassinated in the stronghold."

Speaking of this, Ogata suddenly remembered that since leaving Kyoto, he seemed to have not used the "Shiranui-ryu Stealth Technique" to sneak into a place for a long time.

What he said just now, "My skills of sneaking in and hiding my body, were originally taught to me by my wife" is actually not wrong.

Although Ogata was able to light up the "Shiranui-ryu Ninjutsu" skill tree, it was all thanks to the system.

But without Atachi covering up the various moves of Shiranui-ryu Ninjutsu for him at that time, Ogata would not have been able to use the system to unlock "Shiranui-ryu Ninjutsu".

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Atachi is Ogata's master in "Shiranui-ryu Ninjutsu".

As soon as Ogata said this, everyone present looked at Amachi in shock.

"Miss Atachi." Kawasaka murmured, "Are you so powerful?"

Everyone, including Kawasaka, originally thought that Atachi was just an ordinary woman except for her good looks.

Because he was not used to being looked at in shock by so many people, A-Machi couldn't help but smile a bit shyly.

If it had been this early morning, before the bandits headed by Ohno attacked, when Ogata had said that he and his wife would sneak into the stronghold to assassinate the bandits, Kinjo and the others would have scoffed and thought Ogata was crazy.

But now that they have seen Ogata's strength and learned that Ogata is a great swordsman with such superb swordsmanship, Kinjo and the others have all changed their thoughts and concepts.

Seeing that Ogata vowed that he was confident that he and his wife could easily sneak into the bandit stronghold and assassinate the bandits one by one, Jincheng and others only thought that Ogata might really be able to do it!

In addition, except for the relatively dull Tsuchiya, Higasaka, Kinjo, and Mizuno admired Ogata even more.

The three of them only felt that Ogata, as a great swordsman with extraordinary swordsmanship, took the initiative to take on the most dangerous task.

When the bandits led by Ohno attacked today, Ogata was the first one to rush forward.

What kind of spirit is this?

Ogata's image in their minds has become taller...

Out of trust in Ogata, everyone agreed to Ogata's extremely bold battle plan.

…

…

After getting all the information we wanted from Ohno and briefly formulating a battle plan, it was almost time for the sun to reach its highest point.

In order to thank Ogata and the others for their heroic performance today, the villagers prepared a much richer lunch for Ogata and the others than before, but in reality it was just radishes and more pickles on each person's plate.

After lunch and a brief rest, Ogata and the others took their respective sabers and rushed to the bandits' stronghold.

The little leader named Ohno had his hands tightly tied behind his back with a hemp rope and walked in front, leading the way for Ogata and others.

Ogata walked behind Ohno, always on guard against Ohno escaping.

Ohno also knew Ogata's strength, so he did not dare to make any mistakes and obediently led Ogata and others to their stronghold.

Soon, Ogata and others went deep into the vast snow-capped mountains in the south of the village.

While on the way, Ogata and the others also took a look at the nearby scenery, although there was nothing particularly beautiful.
