Chapter 211 210. Abnormality and Learning Progress
The ‘run-in’ of the Ronin group on the first day seemed very effective.
These wanderers who gathered from nearby villages and towns never once said that Lan En was an 'outsider' or a 'foreigner'.
Lan En's memory and knowledge allow him to know how to build his own authority, and the Ronins adapt quickly to authority.
In other words, Lan En made them adapt quickly.
"Good morning, leader!" *N
In the longhouse, Lan En woke up from meditation, and all the ronai would come over to him, cross-legged on the ground, and bow their heads to say hello.
Lan En is still not used to being greeted solemnly, but in order to maintain an authoritarian atmosphere, he must endure it.
“Get ready to go out on patrol.”
“Yes!”*N
The demon hunter's physique recovers energy very quickly, and the gene seed and [Second Heart] make Lan En extremely energetic.
Although he filmed the patrol shift on the first day, because he wanted to focus his energy on learning new knowledge, he basically followed more than 80% of the patrol shifts in a day. Last lap.
The place outside Hirata Manor is spacious, and more importantly, the ninja who is designated as the instructor, Wolf, can only be encountered outside Hirata Manor.
According to the reward agreement with Jiulang, he can only go up and ask questions when the wolf is not busy.
The Hirata clan’s manpower gap is evident.
What makes Lan En feel a little abnormal is that judging from the information collected in recent days, the Hirata family's status in Ashina's country is not ordinary.
They are the first-class important ministers of Ashina Kingdom, and they also serve as Ashina's southern gateway on the terrain. They are the barrier that the inner army must face when they invade.
It is a bit abnormal no matter how you think about it, for a retainer manor with such a status to have such a staff reduction.
What's more, this invasion by the Imperial Army is not a menacing and all-out attack. It's more like a regular offensive and defensive battle.
Then it is even more inappropriate for the Hirata clan to have such a difficult time coping with this battle.
This abnormality made Lan En worried.
Is it possible that the Hirata family will be pushed aside before the rift between the heaven and earth opens again?
The witcher shook his head, putting aside this unfounded assumption.
Several subordinates from the Ronin group followed Lan En neatly and respectfully towards the gate of Pingtian Manor.
Although the number of the Hirata clan's armed forces has become smaller, their formation and defense are still strict. The soldiers are generally in good spirits and strong. Armor and weapons are also top-grade in Ashina's country.
Yesterday, Lan En and his team helped gather all the ferries within a dozen miles upstream and downstream of Longquan River to this side of the manor.
If you want to cross the river on a large scale, unless you conjure a boat out of thin air, you can only cross the wooden bridge at the main entrance of the manor.
In order to invade this manor under such circumstances, even professional soldiers would have to recruit hundreds or nearly a thousand people.
And if an enemy force of this size can be allowed to enter the territory, then the Ashina people on the front battlefield may simply commit seppuku collectively.
The people in the castle town were amazed by the orderly formation of the ronin. After all, even the soldiers of this family were not able to maintain such a serious attitude in normal times.
But for Lan En, it would be a bit outrageous if a small organizational structure with less than fifty people could not control it like an arm.
Defining rules, formulating rewards and punishments, establishing high and low status and upgrade channels, and guiding the crowd's thoughts do not even require him to make a detailed personality plan. The rigid routine plan made by Mentos is enough.
Exchanging tokens and hello with the soldiers guarding the gate, the Ronin patrol team walked towards the outside of Hirata Manor.
Now as the situation became visibly tense, the soldiers guarding the gate began to switch to muskets.
And under Lan En's sense of smell, he discovered that there was a lot of gunpowder and projectiles stored in the small position at the gate.
It can be said that it is heavily guarded.
In the Ronin group, Kotaro followed Lan En. He and the other patrol members were on guard the moment they stepped out of the door.
This guy seems to have often looked at Lan En with excitement after Lan En forced Ronin to apologize to him. It made him a little nervous.
Later, he followed Lan En many times on patrols that were not assigned to him at all. Use the energy of ordinary people to chase a demon hunter with a [second heart].
Later, it was Lan En who added a lot of additional shifts to his schedule before he gave up on this move, which was almost suicidal.
Lan En didn't know what to say about this situation, but he vaguely felt that Kotaro's wretched appearance seemed a bit friendly now.
The ronin holds the scabbard in his hand, with his thumb on the guard on the handle, ready to take it out at any time.
The one holding a spear put the weapon on his shoulder and followed the footsteps.
The few who held bows drew an arrow and put it on the string, looking around warily.
As the situation and atmosphere became more and more tense, the nerves of the Ronin team and other patrol teams became more and more tense.
But what is slightly inconsistent is that these wanderers who look around always look around before looking towards the front of the team.
It wasn’t until I saw the tallest figure with silver hair that I breathed a brief sigh of relief, relaxed my nerves, and then continued to look around.
The reason is that Lan En's breath and voice are too weak.
As a result, his subordinates had to use their eyes directly to confirm that he was still walking in front of the team.
It was indeed the same as his first impression after getting the cracked version of "Lone Shadow Ninja Technique Book". The practice of assassination techniques and silence and breath-holding techniques progresses very quickly.
This kind of technology, where the knowledge points are greater than the operating feel, can be easily overcome in Mentos' learning mode.
Mentos allowed Lan En to go from a young man who had never even touched a horse to develop the riding habit of a nation on horseback within a few days.
The current knowledge of ninjas only requires Mentos to take one hour out of the deduction and calculation of [Light Body Technique] every day.
A week later, Lan En's living habits were close to that of a ninja.
He will maintain subtle but sufficient breathing in a non-combat state, and the sweat gland activity in his body will be reduced, and the body odor will be reduced accordingly.
In conjunction with this, he developed a technology that can control the activity of the primary heart and the [second heart] within a certain range through breathing.
His footsteps will change on the ground of different textures, and he will be as silent as a ghost when he steps on it.
This is close to the level of a ninja who has just been trained and can carry out tasks.
Even among Japan's least prestigious rural ninja organizations, they have never heard of apprenticeships lasting less than five years.
An apprenticeship of less than five years, if given the wind. This group of ninjas may even lose the opportunity to be loyal to their master!
Because of this short training time, it is impossible to trust their level.
But for Lan En, the only thing he lacks from a novice ninja is [Light Body Technique].
As the team was walking, Lan En's eyes accurately captured a little orange shadow in the gaps between the branches and leaves of the woods by the river.
He cheered softly: "Ha, you are lucky today!"
Then he waved his hand in that direction.
“Wolf! We meet again!”
