With Aomori and Souji joining the battle, the situation on the battlefield instantly changed 180 degrees.

Under the fierce attack of the two men, the red side, which had the upper hand, had its rainbow-like momentum abruptly interrupted.

The morale of White's soldiers was greatly boosted.

"Tachibana-kun and Okita-kun are taking action! Press back! Press back!"

They shouted, ran wildly, and bravely took the lead.

The advance of the "red wave" has stopped.

In contrast, the "white wave" began to gradually occupy space.

…

"Hijikata-kun!"

Shannan Keisuke wiped the sweat from his cheeks and shouted to Hijikata Toizo next to him.

"Tachibana-kun and Okita-kun are out in battle!"

When Hijikata Toisho heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing and followed Shannan Keisuke's line of sight.

After seeing Seito and Souji standing on the front line, he grinned, showing an interesting expression that seemed both annoyed and happy.

"Hmph, as expected of them, the two of them turned the tide of the war around."

Nagakura Shinpachi on the side said in a deep voice:

"Hijikata-kun, Mr. Tachibana and Okita-kun have all shown up. It's time for us to take action, right?"

Hijikata Suisan nodded.

"Well, let's go!"

…

Click! Click! Click...

Find the target, swing the sword, find the next target, swing the sword again... Qingden just keeps repeating this sequence of steps.

No one can keep up with the speed of his sword.

His sword is truly "one swing, one kill" - every time he swings it, there will be a pile of broken porcelain shards on the ground.

He couldn't remember how many pieces of porcelain bowls he had broken. Anyway, whenever he saw a person with a red cloth band on his head, he would just swing his sword towards the porcelain bowl on his forehead.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the sword behind him.

He turned his head slightly and glanced behind him with the corner of his eye - he saw a bamboo sword rushing towards him unexpectedly!

At this critical moment, he swung his sword to fight back without hesitation.

Snap!

The bamboo swords intersected and made a dull sound.

"Uh...!"

Inoue Genzaburo couldn't bear the huge force transmitted along the sword's blade. He hugged the bamboo sword that was knocked back and staggered back a few steps.

Without any time to breathe, the second bamboo sword struck Qingdeng.

Qingdeng suddenly dodged and hid in a safe area...or rather a safe area at this second.

The next second, two bamboo swords struck at him - Saitoichi and Nagakura Shinpachi blocked Aoto's retreat from the left and right.

At the same time, Hijikata Toshizo, who just missed his attack, and Inoue Genzaburo, who had recovered his strength, cooperated with Nagakura and Saito's offensive and pounced on Aoto again.

Qingden's sharp eyes swept across the faces of Hijikata and others along the edge of his sword.

Soon after, people saw Qingdeng's body flashing flexibly.

Once he dodged, then he dodged again - he retreated beyond the attack range of Hijikata and the others.

One flash, then another - the bamboo sword in his palm flashed twice.

The first sword forced Hijikata Toizo and Saito Kazuo back.

The second sword forced Nagakura Shinpachi and Inoue Genzaburo back.

Taking advantage of this gap, he retreated towards the direction of the general commander and opened up the space between him and Hijikata and the others.

The general manager on the other side was also in a similar situation.

Shannan Keisuke, Toudo Heisuke and Harada Sanosuke formed a simple but effective "anti-General Division encirclement network".

The strongest Shannan Keisuke is responsible for the frontal battle.

Heisuke Toudo, who is slightly less powerful, is responsible for assisting.

Harada Sanosuke, who used a short gun as a weapon and had the widest attack range, was responsible for standing on the outermost perimeter and poking the general manager from time to time to interfere with his actions.

Main attack, auxiliary attack, support - all three are available.

The General Secretary is not good at using one against many.

When one is against many, the information the brain needs to receive and process will increase geometrically.

And Souji happens to be the type of person who is not very smart and is not good at calculations - she has always made mistakes in addition and subtraction within 100 until now.

Therefore, once she is caught in a chaotic battle surrounded by enemies, her brain will often have no time to analyze the battle situation, which will affect the display of her own strength.

But...if the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves is too great, that would be a different matter.

The director took a deep breath and started to move in the middle——

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Only three muffled sounds were heard.

The first sound was the sound of Shannan Keisuke's attack being blocked.

The second sound was the sound of Toudou Heisuke's bamboo sword being bounced away.

The third sound was the sound of the tip of Harada Sanosuke's spear being deflected.

Souji was not willing to fight, and she immediately jumped out of the "anti-souji encirclement network" that was currently in a state of chaos.

As if agreed upon in advance, the General Secretary also retreated in the direction of Qingto.

After they met, they quickly turned around in a tacit understanding and looked for their respective backs - their waists and spines were tightly touching each other.

Even though both of them were wearing clothes, Qingdeng could still feel the familiar body temperature on his skin, which made him feel extremely reassuring.

"Xiao Si, you smell so good."

Aomori joked seriously at a volume that only he and Souji could hear clearly.

The general manager said coquettishly:

"Tachibana-kun, there is a competition going on now."

"You smell so good at this game."

The general manager stopped answering.

However, there was a faint blush on her cheeks, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

Hijikata and the others, who were unaware of the young couple's flirting, pressed towards them.

Hijikata and Shannan Keisuke led Nagakura, Saito, Inoue, Toudo, and Harada to surround Ayoto and Souji from different directions.

"Two versus seven...it really turned out like this."

As he spoke, the corners of Qingdeng's mouth curved with excitement.

"Everyone has become much stronger!"

His words did not mean any flattery, but came from his sincere feelings.

Everyone in the Trial Guard Hall... including Isamu Kondo who is currently sitting on the high platform, are countless times stronger than when Qingto first met them.

This is normal.

Although the martial arts talents of Kondo, Hijikata and others are not as good as his and Souji's, they are still extremely talented people!

Hijikata grinned:

"Thank you for the compliment. However, we will not show mercy because of your compliment."

At this time, Nagakura Shinpachi, who had the loudest voice, raised his head, took a deep breath, opened his throat and shouted:

"Now! Hurry up and take down General Bai's head!!"

"Ohhhhhhhh-!"

The menacing roar swept through the red team formation like a whirlwind.

They bypassed Seito and Souji, who were surrounded by Hijikata and others, and moved forward in a swarm.

Without Qingden and Souji taking the lead, White's offensive momentum suddenly stopped.

Facing the red soldiers who were coming to kill them, they rushed to attack them.
To be continued...
