It is no exaggeration to say that the members of the Shinsengumi are already on the verge of collapse!

The opponents who could easily cope with them yesterday are no longer able to compete against them today.

Even though he had clearly wounded the opponent, he still acted like a normal person and launched a counterattack without any fuss.

More and more soldiers are falling to the ground... The number of casualties among the Shinsengumi is constantly rising... The blood stains the light green haori fabrics.

If it were an army with average training level, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago.

Thanks to the Shinsengumi being a well-disciplined force, even if they face strong enemies and huge casualties, they will not collapse easily.

However, this has its limit after all.

It is not difficult to see that more and more people are becoming timid due to the deteriorating war situation.

Everything is just as the director-general said - if they don't do something, their front may collapse across the board!

Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi stared at Qingto, expecting and waiting for his instructions.

At this moment, rapid footsteps came from directly in front of Qingdeng, from far to near - a tall warrior with a sword on his shoulder, like a wild boar descending the mountain, rushed straight towards Qingdeng!

"Tachibana Aoden! I finally found you!"

"I am the captain of the first musketry team of the Qiwei Team! Matsugiya Sagara!"

"Long time no see! Do you still remember me?

"I was really taken care of by you back in Kyoto!"

"Now I have the power to keep pace with you, and I am here to take revenge on you!"

As he spoke, he raised the sword in his palm and took a stance - his eyes were frighteningly focused.

It seems that his so-called "already possessing the power to keep pace with you" is not without purpose.

Seeing an enemy coming, Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saitoichi changed their positions at the same time and stood in front of Aoto.

But abruptly, Qingdeng ordered in a calm tone:

"...You all stand down."

After that, he slowly moved forward, moved in front of the Souji and others, then spread his legs leisurely, his free left hand and the right hand holding the sword naturally dropped, and his eyes were fixed on the approaching Matsugiya Sagara.

Seeing Qingden take the initiative to challenge, Matsugiya Xangliang gave a cruel smile, walked a little faster, and raised his sword high to block the sun.

"Tachibana Aoden! Go to hell!!"

With the momentum of the roar, the power accumulated in his waist immediately rushed to his arms! The sword raised above his head struck down hard!

The sharp blade drew a dazzling light in mid-air, pressing towards Qingdeng with overwhelming force!

Qingdeng always stared at each other closely.

It wasn't until the opponent swung his sword, and the slash almost landed on his head in the blink of an eye, that he made his move in a leisurely manner!

I saw him swinging his sword from the lower part, slashing from the lower right to the upper left! The second strike came first, and his sword intercepted Matsugiya Xingrao's sword first! The two swords hit each other hard in the air!

The collision of the two knives only lasted for a moment - because after a moment, Matsugiya Sagara's knife flew back violently! The tiger's mouth shattered his hands! After letting go, the thick back of the knife hit his face! It was embedded in his face.

His facial bones!

All this was because he was unable to resist Qingdeng's slashing attack!

The fight between the two was like a high-speed train hitting a bicycle - it was only natural that the bicycle would be knocked backwards.

This is not over yet!

Embedding the back of the knife into its facial bones is just the beginning.

The surging force that rushed forward along with the slash has not yet completely dissipated!

Under the impact of this huge force, Matsugiya Sagara's body was like the ball in a baseball, flying high up! Jumping into the air like a rocket! After jumping to a height of 4 or 5 meters,

Fall down!

Under the colorful rain of blood, Qingdeng said softly with an indifferent expression:

"Matsunomiya Xiangliang... I have never heard of your name. How can I have the time to remember the names of you rats?"

The loud noise of the swords clashing and the twisted corpse flying into the air instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

The battlefield, which was originally extremely noisy and full of shouts of killing, suddenly became extremely quiet.

Whether it was the members of the Shinsengumi or the members of the Raiders, they all stopped what they were doing, turned their heads, and stared blankly at the body of Matsugiya Sagara, which was still flying in the air.

...!

With just one slash, the opponent's weapon was embedded in the face, and the person was cut into the sky... What kind of terrifying strength is this?!

The sword that Aoden used to instantly kill Matsunomiya Sagara not only shocked his enemies, but also his own people!

"...It's just that the enemy has become a little stronger and you are at a loss. It really disappoints me."

Qingdeng's voice, without any thoughts or emotions, broke the silence of the scene.

Because the needle drop could be heard everywhere, his voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

While putting on his Zanshin stance, he turned to look at the marshals behind him, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi.

"Soji, Shinpachi, Hajime, it seems that we are the only four people who have not lost their fighting spirit yet."

"In that case, let the four of us turn the tide!"

"Let the other side have a look, and let your own people have a look at the same time - look at how Niou and the 'Newly Selected Three Heroes' can defeat a thousand with one horse!"

Upon hearing this, the three chief executives all showed awe-inspiring expressions.

They didn't say a word, and walked forward silently, standing side by side with Qingdeng.

The four of them stood in a line, facing the vast enemy group in front of them!

Although there were only four of them, the expressions of the enemy soldiers around them changed drastically! They clenched their weapons! It was as if they were facing an army of millions!

Aoto looked at the enemy group in front, and then at the mountaintop in the distance. Then he stabilized the Bizen longship in his hands, got into a fighting posture, and announced loudly to his door:

"General of the Shinsengumi, Natural Rishin-ryu, Tachibana Aoden!"

Immediately afterwards, Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saitoichi followed:

"Captain of the Shinsengumi 1st Division, Natural Rishin-ryu, Souji Okita!"

"Captain of the Shinsengumi Second Division, Shinto Muken-ryu, Nagakura Shinpachi!"

"Captain of the Shinsengumi Division 3, no leakage, Saito Ichi!"

In the next breath, the four of them shouted together:

"Go out into battle!"
