Chapter 211 210. Abnormality and Learning Progress

The ‘run-in’ of the Ronin team 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 of the group!"*N

In the longhouse, when Lan En woke up from meditation, all the wanderers would come over to him, cross-legged on the ground, bow their heads and say hello.

Lan En was still not used to being greeted solemnly, but in order to maintain an authoritative atmosphere, he had to endure it.

"Getting ready to go out on patrol."

"Yes!"*N

The demon hunter's physique recovers energy quickly, and the gene seed and [Second Heart] make Lan En's vitality extremely abundant.

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.

The place outside Hirata Manor is spacious, and more importantly, the ninja who is designated as the instructor, Wolf, can only be encountered outside Hirada Manor.

According to the reward agreement with Jiulang, he could only go up and ask questions when the wolf was not busy.

The Hirata family's manpower gap is clearly visible.

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, and 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, the invasion by the Imperial Army this time was not a menacing, all-conquering attack. It was more like a conventional offensive and defensive battle.

Then it is even more inappropriate for the Hirata family to have such difficulty in this battle.

This abnormality made Lan En worried.

I'm afraid that before the celestial sphere converges and the rift opens again, the Hirata family will be pushed flat, right?

The witcher shook his head and put aside this unfounded assumption.

Several subordinates from the Ronin group followed Lan En in a respectful manner and walked towards the gate of Pingtian Manor.

Although the number of the Hirata clan's armed forces has become smaller, the formation and defense are still strict. The soldiers are generally full of energy and strong. The 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.

Under such circumstances, if you want to invade this manor, 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, 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 unlikely to maintain such a serious attitude in normal times.

But for Lan En, a small organizational structure with less than fifty people would be a bit outrageous if it couldn't be manipulated like an arm.

To define rules, formulate rewards and punishments, establish high and low status and upgrade channels, and guide the crowd's thoughts, he didn't even need to make a detailed personality plan. The rigid routine plan made by Mentos was enough.

After exchanging tokens and greetings with the soldiers guarding the gate, the ronin patrol headed 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 to be 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 gate.

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 scheduled for him at all. He used ordinary people's energy to chase a demon hunter with a "second heart".

Later, it was Lan En who added many more 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 and presses the guard on the handle with his thumb, ready to take it out at any time.

Those holding spears put their weapons on their shoulders and followed their 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 are looking around always look around before looking towards the front of the team.

It wasn't until he saw the tallest figure with silver hair that he breathed a brief sigh of relief, relaxed his 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". As for the assassination technique, the practice of silence and breath-holding technique progressed very quickly.

This kind of technology, where the knowledge points are greater than the operating feel, can be easily overcome in Mentos' learning mode.

Back then, 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 dedicate one hour a day to the deduction and calculation of [Light Body Technique].

After a week, Lan En's living habits were close to that of a ninja.

He will maintain subtle but sufficient breathing in a non-combat state, the body's sweat gland activity will be reduced, and the body odor will be reduced accordingly.

Together with this, he developed a technology based on this that can control the activity of the primary heart and the "second heart" within a certain range through breathing.

On the ground of different textures, his footsteps will change accordingly, 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 missions.

And even Japan's most unpretentious rural ninja organization has never heard of an apprenticeship period of less than five years.

An apprenticeship period of less than five years, if let go, would even cause these ninjas to lose the chance to be loyal to their master!

Because of this short training time, people can't trust their level at all.

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!"
