Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1510 1482. Demonic Ghost Breaks Into Arrival
At first he was still mumbling the same way as before, but the further he spoke, the louder his voice became, and the less human he sounded.

He was a man with the highest armor coverage among the bandits.

A full set of iron armor, this style is called Dase Guzoku in Japan today.

It is a product that simplifies and makes more practical the once complicated style of military generals' armor.

Of course, the military commanders’ current equipment, even if simplified, has various exaggerated shapes to reflect the warriors’ personalities.

The armor worn by this man and a few other bandits was simple and practical, and was the kind of armor that ordinary warriors would actually use to fight.

Round helmet and forehead protector.

One-piece plate-tied torso, with iron bars woven into the gauntlet and arm guards
Although it was a bit strange to see these armors among the bandits, they were not too eye-catching.

What really attracts attention is the person wearing a set of modern clothes!
He looked like a cooked prawn! His skin was an extremely unhealthy red, as if it would bleed in the next second.

He was also tall, so he filled up the armor to the utmost. The ropes between the armor parts were almost unable to be tied.

He held a long sword in his hand, which was always unsheathed and held in his hand.

"Boss!"

Next to him, a bandit holding a box was extremely reluctant but had no choice but to bite the bullet and move closer while speaking.

"Santarō and the others are tired from pulling the bows. Let them rest for a while, then..."

The word 'continue' was not even uttered.

The bandit leader suddenly turned around and stared at him: "Where's my stone?!"

Just a glare and the bandit holding the box was almost scared to death.

Are those eyes really human?

"Boss, didn't you put the stone in your arms before? Do you want to look for it again?"

The bandit leader was still staring at the box in the other's arms, and he put his big hand on his armor and touched it.

"Gone."

"Tell me! Did you steal it? Who stole it?!"

The bandit leader's hand, which was already holding the handle of the sword, suddenly tightened its grip even more! He even squeezed the handle so tightly that it made the steel twist!
The sword was pointed at the surrounding bandits.

Everyone's heart was pounding, because these bandits could feel that their boss really wanted to and would kill someone!

Ever since the boss brought back this box of strange stones, something has been wrong with him today.

The bandits vaguely knew that these stones should be a reward and a means for some nobleman to give to their boss to help with work.

When they massacred villages, robbed and raped before, there were always monsters who could help them break through the village gates first.

But they have never seen their boss like this.

When the other party returned to the mountain, he was like a possessed person. He picked a piece from the box and kept it close to his body.

But after a while, his skin began to turn red, and he said that the stone in his arms was lost, so he found another one and put it close to his body.

This is the third piece!
The bandits had already begun to realize that something was wrong.

But at this moment, no one dared to go against the boss who was obviously against them.

On the other hand, Jusanzakura Village is a famous village nearby.

Seeing that the village is about to be swallowed up, how can these bandits still have the self-control and careful thinking to act cautiously when they see that the situation is not right?

So even among a group of bandits, there were already a group of people who had a bad premonition and even wanted to kill the boss because they saw that something was wrong with him.

But the Thirteen Sakura Village had been conquered first, and no one wanted to miss out on this bite of food.

The bandit holding the box, under the boss's gaze and the increasingly approaching knife edge, tremblingly opened the box.

He opened it very carefully.

He didn't let himself touch any of the golden stone in the box.

When the bandit leader saw the psychedelic golden light, he suddenly calmed down a lot.

But he did not stop. He first took out a piece of armor and stuffed it into his chest through the edge of the already taut armor.

Then he grabbed the whole box in his arms.

The knife was swung forward randomly and walked towards the gate of Shisanzakura Village!

Many of the bandits either had something to hide or were simply cowardly.

In front of the boss's already confused Blade, no one dared to stop him.

On the contrary, their subtle glances exchanged with each other, indicating that they were both ready to follow behind.

They didn't have the courage to charge at the intact village gate under the pelting of stones.

But if this already abnormal boss takes the lead and is successful, then they not only have the courage to do so, but they are also very big!
Tokichiro Kinoshita and many militiamen were still throwing stones behind the wooden signs.

In fact, as the arrows from the opposite side became increasingly sparse, he felt that what he was doing was indeed effective, and he became more and more motivated.

But the old samurai Daisuke Kikuchi hid behind the wooden sign and immediately felt something was wrong!

Even if the stones were thrown to suppress the fire, it would never be possible to achieve such a clean and efficient effect!
The old warrior poked his head out cautiously.

Then he widened his eyes and opened his mouth to shout!

"Smash him!"

"Eh?" Fujiyoshiro and the militiamen, who were originally smashing things in a general direction, stopped in confusion.

But what he got in return was Daisuke Kikuchi's angry glare!

"Down there! Hit him! Quick!"

"Ah, oh! Oh! Hit him! The bandits are not shooting anymore! Show your heads and hit him!"

Fujiyoshiro was the first to react and called on the militiamen to take action.

A group of people cautiously leaned half of their bodies out from behind the wooden sign, took aim, and threw stones at the bandit leader who was staggering towards them.

This greatly improves accuracy.

The stones hit the armor of the bandit leader with a clang.

The iron sheets were dented inwards, leaving white marks where the stone had collapsed and the lime had burst out.

The group of people became more and more frightened as they smashed the things, but the bandits behind them smiled wider and wider as they watched.

After being hit by so many stones, the helmet was especially knocked crooked and broken off!
The people inside will either die or suffer from cerebral hemorrhage or concussion.

The villagers and Fujikichiro didn't understand this, but at least they knew that a normal person would have fainted or died. But this bandit seemed to have no feelings at all!

The stone hit his forehead so hard that his skull was dented! He continued walking in a daze, not feeling any pain.

As the commander of this team of militia, Daisuke Kikuchi rolled on the ground immediately after he finished shouting!
It rolled down from the high ground on both sides of the village gate.

He rode non-stop, and the straw sandals on his feet were almost torn apart by the friction and reaction force of the ground!

The old warrior immediately pulled out the thickest piece of wood from the pile of chopped wood behind the village gate and tried to push it against the door!
Because this group of bandits came suddenly.

At first, Daisuke Kikuchi thought it was just an accidental intrusion, so he didn't ask anyone to block the door.

Moreover, this group of bandits were armed with either spears, swords, or bows and arrows. They didn't even have sledgehammers or axes, and it seemed that they had no ability to break into the door quickly.

Daisuke Kikuchi wasn't too worried about the gate of their village.

But right now!

Daisuke Kikuchi had just unloaded the logs and his shoulders were resting behind the village gate.

But before he could catch his breath, he heard the loud shouting of Fujiyoshiro and the militiamen on the high ground on both sides of the gate.

It seemed as if they had seen something incredible or unbelievable.

And there was a door in front of Daisuke Kikuchi.

The old warrior also heard a heavy gasp.

No matter what, the heavy breathing could not possibly be from a human!
"Lord Kikuchi! That man is coming! Right at the door! The door."

Kinoshita Tokichiro stretched his head and shouted anxiously.

"I can hear you!"

Daisuke Kikuchi shouted, his nervousness making his words sound almost angry.

And just as Daisuke Kikuchi finished speaking.

"Stab!"

There was a loud bang of steel cutting dry hard wood, and it exploded directly in front of Daisuke Kikuchi!
Compared with the door panel of the village gate, the sword can be called a slender sword, just like cutting paper!

It suddenly chopped through the door panel and continued to cut downwards with all its force!

Daisuke Kikuchi saw it clearly.

This blow was totally out of place.

The blade was not straight and the force was slow. Judging from the position where the blade came from, it was estimated that the person swinging the blade had already left the opponent wide open and defenseless.

It can be said that if Kikuchi Sadakichi had swung this knife, Kikuchi Daisuke could have directly beaten his own son.

But at this moment, this utterly shabby sword strike made Daisuke Kikuchi's scalp tingle!

Because the power and speed of this knife are too strong for humans!

It was clearly a slender sword, but when it chopped on the door panel it caused damage that even five or six hits with a large axe could not cause!

Not only that, even the log that Daisuke Kikuchi had just held behind the door, which was as thick as an arm, was like a stick of firewood in front of this knife!
Anyone who stands in the way of the knife will be chopped off!

The crackling sound of the wood made Daisuke Kikuchi feel numb.

Because he is now also blocking the knife's path!

At the critical moment, the old samurai's sword suddenly came out of its sheath!

There was a loud bang!
At least he managed to push himself away before the blade reached him.

Daisuke Kikuchi stumbled backwards in his straw sandals, the mud having already stuck to his tabi.

In the blink of an eye, the old warrior's solid basic skills allowed him to successfully use [Zanshin] to restore most of the physical strength he had just consumed.

But right after that, there was a loud bang!
A scarlet foot that was much larger than a human head and could almost cover a normal person's entire chest and upper body stomped directly on the wooden door that had a big crack in it!
Blocks of wood heavy enough to kill people flew out.

Daisuke Kikuchi broke out in sweat at his temples and narrowly avoided the attack.

Even though he was frightened, he rushed towards the red foot as if he was seeking death!
The figure revealed in the smoke and dust did not surprise Daisuke Kikuchi.

[Demon]!
His whole body was red, similar to the tall young man seen before.

There are golden crystal spikes all over its body and a pair of golden crystal ghost horns on its head.

The spikes and the gigantic body stretched the armor to pieces, making it loose and baggy, with only some armor plates hanging on the body.

After so many years on the battlefield, he has seen a lot of weird things.

But if the defeated general still resists stubbornly, even holding a grudge, and still has two spirit stones in his hand.

Then at the end of the final battle, you will most likely encounter this kind of thing.

[Lingshi], if used in the right way it will be right, if used in the wrong way it will be wrong.

If a human being harbors hatred and murderous intent and wants to strengthen himself, he will most likely become this form.

Daisuke Kikuchi fearlessly advanced instead of retreating, and successfully seized an opportunity when the demon raised its foot to kick forward!
His sword successfully cut the ankle of the opponent's raised foot!
The golden crystal fragments burst out in a mist of light.

The demon staggered, and the box in his arms flew out. The contents of the box scattered and landed on the land of Shisanzakura Village.

The demon ghost was in a hurry, so he turned around and fanned the exhausted Daisuke Kikuchi away with one claw.

Then it pounced on the box, as if trying to take it in.

On the high ground, Fujiyoshiro, who was about to jump down to help, was also stunned when he saw the things scattered on the ground.

"Spiritual stone?"

But he was only stunned for a moment, and then he quickly moved as nimbly as a monkey and dragged away Daisuke Kikuchi who was blown away.

The old warrior was dizzy after being slapped.

Until this moment, he still only had one thing in mind.

"Dingji, the rest of the village depends on you!"

Outside, the excited shouts of the bandits were approaching.

However, the demons that pounced on the ground found nothing. Those spirit stones seemed to have been tampered with. As soon as they touched the land of Shisanzakura Village, they seemed to melt into it.

Deep in the village, in the shrine where the sacred cherry tree was worshipped, the village chief, who was neatly dressed and chanting a spell with a serious face, suddenly changed his expression and looked in two directions.

One is the cemetery behind the village, and the other is the sacred cherry tree he worships!
Almost at the same time, a dusty woman came indifferently from the back door next to the village cemetery.
