Gensaburo Inoue turned his head and shouted at the team members behind him:

"Hurry! Everyone is following!"

Behind him, countless teams of soldiers followed closely and fiercely, marching along the bloody path Qingdeng and his party had fought to the top of the mountain and towards the enemy's main line.

The words Qingdeng said just now - "It's just that the enemy has become a little stronger, and you are at a loss what to do. I am really disappointed" - made the team members blush.

Being beaten to pieces by the enemy, forcing the General-in-Chief to utter the word "disappointment", forcing the General-in-Chief to lead only three men to fight against the enemy... Anyone with any self-respect would feel ashamed of this.

install.

In order to make up for their mistakes, they regained their fighting spirit. Under the leadership of Gensaburo Inoue, Heisuke Toudo and other team members, they launched an offensive with a roar.

Their idea is very good, to catch up with Qingdeng and help Qingdeng.

However... it didn't take long for them to be horrified by the scene in front of them and their expressions changed drastically.

I saw the enemy corpses lying on the ground along the way!

Almost every corpse was killed in one blow and lay in a state of disarray.

The few remaining survivors were basically breathing in but not breathing out. They fell to the ground and were dying, not far from death.

The endless hillside is covered with the broken corpses of the enemy... Unless you see it with your own eyes, you will never understand the shock!

In such a situation, it is hard to imagine that this was the result of a victory created by just four people!

Even Genzaburo Inoue and others who were members of the "Tribeikan Faction" and were familiar with Ayoto, Souji and others were also shocked from ear to ear.

Looking at this scene, a certain team member swallowed hard and whispered the thoughts of everyone:

"Nioh-sama... still needs our support...?"

…

…

"Ha ha ha ha……!"

Taking advantage of the invincible soldiers all around, the General Secretary greedily sucked in the fresh air and raced against time to adjust his breath.

When was the last time you breathed?

She has no idea about this anymore.

With only 4 people facing off against most of the team's strength...there are no precise words to describe the pressure they are facing!

In order to deal with the overwhelming enemy soldiers, she often forgot to breathe, and she had no chance to breathe in the true sense!

It was only when her chest started to hurt due to lack of oxygen that she realized belatedly that she had not breathed for a long time.

After she regained her breath, she swallowed hard to moisten her horribly dry throat. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her throat, as if she had swallowed not saliva but sharp blades.

The temperature today is very low, it seems like it will snow at any time, and the air is full of dry smell.

In order to keep up with Aitobo's attack speed, Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito exhausted all their energy and tried their best.

There is little time for them to breathe.

Only by seizing the few moments of ventilation, opening your mouth wide, and taking big gulps of oxygen can you keep up with this huge consumption.

In this way, without the heating and humidification of the nasal cavity, in just a moment, the dry air can make their throats look like cracked earth, and every time they swallow a mouthful of saliva, they will vaguely taste the taste of blood.

Suddenly, the director's expression changed slightly - a strong and familiar cough surged into his throat.

She raised her left arm promptly and skillfully, covering her face with her sleeve:

"Cough...! Cough cough cough...!"

She has extensive experience in how to cover up her cough.

If you can bear it, bear with it. If you really can't bear it, you will cover your face with your sleeves and pretend to wipe the sweat. In fact, you will muffle the cough in the crook of your arm to reduce the sound as much as possible.

Even if you cough up blood, it will be mixed with the blood spattered by enemies on your clothes, making it impossible for outsiders to see it.

The medicine that medical chief Akizaburo Nanjo gave her last night was very effective.

After taking this medicine, her throat and chest immediately felt much better.

What a pity... Nanjo Akizaburo clearly said: This medicine can only relieve the condition, but cannot cure it.

When the war started, the General Secretary did not feel uncomfortable yet.

But after the battle began, his physical energy was consumed rapidly, and Souji immediately felt the strong and familiar itching feeling dominate his throat and chest again.

Facts have proved that Nanjo Akizaburo's strong advice to her not to go to the front line and to rest quietly in the rear was accurate medical advice.

Although her body was extremely uncomfortable, as if there were countless ants crawling in her throat and chest, she did not admit defeat, did not put away the knife in her hand, and did not stop following Qingdeng closely!

She gritted her teeth and tried hard to hold back.

——Please...! Just hold on a little longer...!

She gently touched her chest and prayed to her body.

In addition to Souji, the other two swordsmen beside her - Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi - their current condition is also not very good.

Since there were no enemy troops to attack at the moment, the three of them were able to devote their energy to caring for each other while chasing Qingdeng.

Nagakura Shinpachi turned his head and looked at Saitoichi next to him:

"Hey, Saito, are you okay?"

I saw Saitoichi's face as pale as paper, his dry lips without any blood, and his right hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.

It was obvious that his physical strength had reached its limit.

Physical strength is one of Saito Ichi's shortcomings.

After such a fierce battle... his physical strength had long been exhausted and he couldn't even hold the knife firmly. Now he was relying on willpower to hold on.

In order to hold the Ikeda Kijinmaru Kunishige in his hand firmly, he tore off a strip of cloth from the haori and tightly wrapped it around his right palm and the handle of the knife.

Facing Nagakura Shinpachi's concern, Saitoichi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said softly:

"I'm fine. Instead of caring about me, you should care about yourself first. The injury on your leg is okay, right?"

As he spoke, he lowered his gaze and looked at Nagakura Shinpachi's right thigh - most of the latter's hakama was dyed a terrifying dark red with blood!

Just now, an enemy soldier took advantage of Nagakura Shinpachi's inattention and launched a sneak attack from the blind spot of his vision, slashing at his chest.

With his rich combat experience and extraordinary reaction speed, Nagakura Shinpachi dodged in time.

Although the chest was spared from this disaster,... the thigh was scraped by the opponent's blade. The wound was deep and blood flowed profusely!

Nagakura Shinpachi is indeed a battle-hardened veteran.

Seeing that his thigh was injured, he calmly took out the linen he carried with him from his arms and used it to tie the root of his thigh tightly, successfully stopping the bleeding.

In fact, the thighs can be regarded as one of the fatal wounds of the human body.

The inner thigh is densely covered with important arteries and blood vessels. If they rupture, it will cause severe blood loss!

He lost a lot of blood due to his thigh injury... There are not many such dead people.

Nagakura Shinpachi twitched his lips and grinned:

"It's just a little flesh wound, nothing to worry about!"

Although he tried his best to act like he was fine, anyone could see that the injury that stained most of his hakama tube red could be a minor injury.

When it comes to the degree of paleness of his face, Nagakura Shinpachi is not inferior to Saito Ichi.

Perhaps because he didn't want his companions to worry about him, Nagakura Shinpachi took the initiative to change the topic and turned to look at Souji.

"Soji, can you still hold on?"

Like Saito Ichi, Souji who takes the "high attack, high burst" route is not known for his physical strength.

Therefore, her expression was also very bad - of course, her frail appearance was largely due to tuberculosis.

The general manager shook his head gently:

"I'm fine."

After finishing speaking, she paused for a moment, then raised her gaze and cast a worried look at Qingden in front of her.

"...To be honest, I think Qingdeng is the one who should be cared about the most right now."

When Nagakura and Saito heard this, they both had complicated expressions on their faces.

Saito nodded slightly and murmured:

"Well, I feel the same..."

Nagakura Shinpachi smacked his lips:

"Mr. Tachibana's current state... is as if he wants to die...!"

…

…

"Huh...! Huh...! Huh...! Huh...!"

The rapid breathing formed an overwhelming sound barrier.

Qingden breathed with his mouth and nose together, extracting energy for action from oxygen.
To be continued...
