Nobunaga's Bastard

Episode 64: To the One Who Changes Nothing (Map Available)

My father accepted Nagashima's surrender. Move the caged men to Long Island and Nakae and surrender the two castles as well. After the surrender, the testimony and the interlocutor, and all the monks, shall appear and be dealt with at the beheading. All those who surrender sell them as slaves. Even on this condition, Nagashima had no choice but to swallow. And let that condition swallow. Yet, my father did not intend to forgive Long Island.

As soon as the envoy of surrender returned, his father secretly gave instructions to all army generals. If the Long Island Gatekeepers leave the castle, shoot them and eradicate them.

"My lord."

Nobunaga's father-in-law, who lay flat in front of his father, spoke briefly. His voice and eyes were clear, and he could see as much as he was ready on his father-in-law.

My father pulled his jaw slightly. What? asked. It's not an atmosphere to make jokes. My father and father-in-law usually have the same feelings as me and Kanjiro or more, and laughter is a constant pattern. Only for a few moments do those two sights intersect from the front as if confronting each other.

"I do not intend to complain about the decision of a temple, but rather to remain obedient to everything. Therefore, I would like you to hear my wish only once and only once."

"Allegations"

In short reply, my father-in-law exhales slightly. Then I suddenly sucked up the air with my nose and said if I could.

"Would you not allow Nagashima to surrender?

To date, it has been a word many ministers have pleaded for and reprimanded each time. My father-in-law has always been on my father's side, not only in Iseh Nagashima offense, but also in policy against Honganji Temple and against Kanjoji Temple. On behalf of my father, I have not once or twice reprimanded a minister for pleading for help.

"I can't."

My father-in-law says, "It's just pathetic." Of course, my father would have known very well that it was a word based on his understanding that his position would be worse. But still, that's what my father answered. My father-in-law also bowed his head when he heard the word, saying that he was sorry. Father's response to that is also good. It was a word.

"If so, we will set the stage at the forefront of the annihilation of Nagashima. Please listen to this wish."

The man who asked me to allow him to surrender wants the front line in the next moment. It is on my father-in-law that I can break it off and act in that way, and it is my father who understands it.

"Forgive me, Daikanya Shou, destroy Nagashima Ichizo and raise his martial name."

This is the official position my father-in-law received. Positions correspond to the bottom of the sixth position. It will be lower than I am now, but directly below the sixth ranking is the same as my father's former superior general suke. As a single crowd, it is definitely in an important position. The fact that I dare to call you now in that official capacity is also a claim that I don't give a shit about the plea I just made.

After the extermination of the Great Torii Fort, Shinobashi Castle was not allowed to surrender and fled to Nagashima Main Castle. At this time, the people of Shinobashi Castle made a promise to their father to 'respond inside Nagashima Castle', and were told that if they accomplished it, they would allow themselves to surrender. Those of Shinobashi Castle who escaped did not make any movement after all. My father was not angry at this, nor did he say that he had been deceived. Because it was a matter of understanding. My father's aim was to push one or more people into Long Island. Faster for the troops to run out, so that Long Island can be driven to self-destruction as soon as possible.

The other day, I was contacted by Iga Ninja. In Nagashima Castle, the two remaining castles have been in a tragic situation until now. If you've been cornered so far, even if you escaped at the earliest opportunity, Nagashima Ichizo will never strip the Oda family of their fangs. So I want you to forgive me. It was a sad wish. I decided to respond to that plea only once.

I speak to Shinguang's father-in-law, and only once, I wish to halt the attack and accept his surrender. If they refuse, I won't say it again. When I told you that, my father-in-law might even be forbidden. I know. We have seen ministers who have done the same and have been served territories, as well as ministers who have eaten deportations.

Still, only once, when I told her that I wanted to move for Iga Shinobu, who had deepened her friendship for two years, she nodded. My father-in-law asked my father to take a look and said I would tell her. When he asked Kyou or his family if he was served territory, his father-in-law said with an objectified look somewhere.

Your liver's cold.

"Sincerely"

The sight was soon over, and we returned to prepare for the Nagashima attack and talked on the road.

"Don't let the unfortunate death continue for the Oda family and for Nagashima"

I nodded. It's unhappy indeed. The will of the Father to destroy Nagashima becomes stronger every time a man close to Nobunaga Oda dies. Nobunaga Shinxing, his uncle Shinji, his cousin Shincheng, and his sister's son-in-law, Nobunaga Sage, died in battle in this battle.

The way of faith, which was in a hurry to fight, followed a tradition of trying to escape, trying to kill no one left. 'If you're going to die, I'll take one or more of you on the road,' said the traditional sect, who saw that you couldn't escape at the earliest, engaging in a jade crushing battle that could be crushed with the jade, killing the way you believed. I watched that from the rear. It looked like I was even going to be horrible. Shot with a gun, a man with a blown arm advances with unspoken grudges, and a woman with an already immobile baby hits her body crying. It was a battle that was shown irrevocably that it was both the same that there was no escape in the battle on board.

That's not a soldier, that's a living corpse. That's what I decided. I was strictly instructed not to approach until no one else was moving in a simultaneous fire from afar. There was no general, and the traditional sect, which became a mass of resentment, did not stop moving forward until the last one died.

The way of believing was dead on a ship under my command. There are a dozen traditionally sectarian corpses around. It was not known which wound would have been fatal. The helmet was stripped off and the tip of a broken bamboo pierced his shoulder. There were also many bruises that he was probably beaten, without his right pinky and medicinal finger. The corpses were swarmed with corpses so that they could fold up, and I heard that the way of believing had been captured and killed by them while killing them. There was more fear in the expression of the way of letter lying on a bloody boat than anger. I can't say very glamorous. It was a tragic death in battle.

Having seen something I didn't even want to see, I still couldn't abandon my late friend, and I began to peel off the corpse that was marked and prepare to bury it.

Some of the traditional sects I tried to strip off were only about ten years old. A child who is cut into pieces and lays low in his own blood. Pathetic, I tried to stroke that cheek and found an unnatural exuberance in my mouth. I grabbed my mouth with my finger and checked inside, my pinkie and medicine finger came out.

I didn't show this stuff to anyone and wanted to bake it as soon as it was cleansed, but my father, who received the reward, came quickly to confirm the body of the way he believed. My father was not mad, he was not sad, he was looking at Ji and his body. Seeing that gaze get cold as it freezes, I was scared of one person.

It was crazy, everything, enemies, allies, me too.

"In the end, the Lord is more of an Oda than anyone else."

My father-in-law squeals like that. When asked what it meant, she answered that she was too kind and too strong.

"It hurts me more than anyone, and I grieve more than anyone, for the death of my younger brothers and for the death of my minister. Normally, the one who is too kind is unbearable for his kindness and heartbreaking, but the Lord endures to be hurt and grieved, and turns it into anger and hatred. I can't stand anger if it's just tender. If you're just strong, you can get over your anger. But the Lord cannot overcome his anger as he sighs into his belly. It therefore produces such tragic consequences"

My father-in-law described what had not yet happened as if it had already ended with 'giving birth to results'. In fact, I think it's gonna be miserable.

"The boys in this country did not always think that they would be convicted on the side of judgment. I think it's a good opportunity to wake up and get back to teaching."

"I guess so. But I don't care what the boys think of teaching, etc. I'm just worried about my brother."

As far as I know, that was the first time my father-in-law ever mentioned my father as my brother. When I looked at my stepfather's face with a little surprise, he slightly distorted the shady, hot-looking, sinister look on the girl than usual.

"Once I lost to my lord, I thought I was going to die. At that time, I thought I was unlucky. I moaned that if I had anything to side with, I would have been Oozhong's building beam. But when he asked me about the conspiracy, and looked at the lord who put me in his name, he thought, oh, I lost. As I said earlier, my lord is strong. Different digits. That's why I have the measure to treat my common brother as my replacement."

Right, I nodded, and while I did, I thought my father needed this guy.

"When I die, this role gives way to a knife. Please, son."

"It's not even on the edge. Words are filled with spirits, don't talk about yourself after death."

"Nothing is talking about today or tomorrow. In the next ten years, we'll be hiding, and in twenty years, we'll be dead. When that happens, I'm telling you to do the same thing to my brothers."

"If that's what you mean"

There was no Oda attack that day, and no counterattack from Long Island.

On the morning of the fall of Nagashima, the Oda army moved all troops forward and narrowed the siege. In the north, the avant-garde from Takehashi Castle was packed by the Royal Hall of Kwon, and at its vanguard stood the home of Mr. Pusheng, who was the first of the Matsunoki forts in the battle ahead. My father's favorite young martial artist, who is already engaged to my sister (Aye) and my brother-in-law. His activity was one of the few celebrations that comforted my father's heart in his attack on Long Island.

On the east side, the army advanced to the push closer to Nagashima than Shinobashi Castle, while on the other side there were Tanyu and Koichiro palaces, and on the front line there was the appearance of the head of the Mori family.

The north and east were streams of narrow and shallow things, and the Oda army secretly prepared a small speedboat, or small early, and also placed artillery squads, bowmen. About half a mile to the west, but the land continues, from which you can escape to Yanagajima and Nakae by crossing the river further west. In its waters, the marines led by Sansuke and commanded by the right guard of Hiko are supposed to retrace, surround and take over.

Me and my father-in-law set up on the southwest edge of the island where Long Island Castle is located. This place continues with Nagashima Castle, where you can escape Nagashima Castle and attack those trying to escape to Nagashima and Nakae from the left.

On the morning of April 30th, a succession of young and old men appeared from Nagashima Castle. At this time, fewer than 20,000 people were caged in Long Island Castle, he said. But only 16,000, about 80%, had enough strength to come out of Long Island Castle. There was not enough ship for all of them to board, and at about the same time that the leading thousand to two thousand or so boarded the ship, the attack was launched.

Here we go. Right. I didn't have a conversation. Shots were heard from the east side of Nagashima Castle, and soon a scream burst from everywhere. My father would have given the order to attack. A cursor rose over the sky almost simultaneously. A curse in an overly sunny sky, disproportionate to the day the massacre took place, told the enemy and his allies exactly what was going to happen.

In the north and east, gunshots roared and the west saw the Oda Army vessels kicking down the canoes of Sect. Traditionally Zong is more of a flashy, unbelievable look at what is happening right now.

The flames are rising, from the castle of Nagashima. I wasn't planning on lighting the fire from the beginning, but it's faster than I thought. The fire was lit by the cannon, and the dry air may have speeded up the extension.

"Don't let them get away with it, let them go!

My team, led by my father-in-law, repeats the sniping from the side of the enemy as it was decided. In front of the artillery squad on his father-in-law, a crossbow soldier stands behind him and repeats the alternate attack. If you're an artillery squad, you can't attack with allies between or before, but if you're a crossbowman, you can attack from behind. We repeated our attack lightly, thinking this might be one discovery.

It happened when a unilateral massacre ensued and traditionally all of Sect 16,000 understood that they had been deceived.

"A traditional sect on a ship is launching an attack on Lord Isesho's military ship!

"There has always been a counter-attack to North Takehashi Castle! Both Kobe and Shibata will intercept this!

"There has always been a reversal in the Lord's main unit! Beyond the shallow waters, it's becoming a riot!

Same as when the letter was murdered. A group of all the desperate deceased ran out for sacrifice, one or more of them on the road.

"Father-in-law, you don't have to fight properly"

As I said, I tried to pull up the line. Soon the sect will be here to push it in large numbers. Get in the boat and get the distance, attack from afar and you will eventually be wiped out. It's good to cut it directly after all these arrowballs are exhausted.

"My lord!"

Jinglian came running over. When I thought the enemy would come this way and called for an immediate retreat, an unexpected word was brought.

"There are enemy ambushes! Grab a knife, spear, etc. naked and come running!

I glanced and saw who reported it. Indeed, the men are crawling out of places where the back was not visible by tall grass. That number ranges from eight hundred to a thousand. I try to be dragged by it and push it over. I've seen less of the one sect and two thousand.

We don't have time to retreat.

My father-in-law said. If I pull over now and wait, they'll crush me from behind in the meantime. I nodded and took the spear in my hand. Those on the front line have already started fighting.

"The enemy came all the way here to get killed! People! Now is the time for martial arts! Beautiful defeat of the enemy, making Long Island the first place to fight!

I shouted in my voice whenever possible. He snorted and regained his will when his allies were about to fall back on him. My father-in-law was riding a horse and waving up his arms so that his majesty could be seen around him.

"My father-in-law, the one who should not die in this place is my father-in-law. If you don't move away from the scene and there's news of a knife fight, withdraw then."

After I said it, I headed to the front. The Admiral lines up in the back, and his son fights in front. The morale of your allies should increase. It is not the courage of Bifu. Raising allies' will in this way leads to keeping the whole army alive.

"You must not die, either!

He was called from behind and nodded. I know. I'm the second person on this scene who shouldn't die. I'm not going to die or anything. Fight only to live.

The front line was already about to collapse. I also saw the horror of soldiers who couldn't help but live. Fight, win. Win, get something. Anyway, it's creepy and scary to have a human being in front of you who's abandoning such a natural thing.

Still managed to step forward of the soldiers who were enduring to stop, and I poked a spear at the man in the front and stabbed him through the chest.

"Don't pull! The protection of the Buddha does not make them immortal bodies! He is just a peasant who tried to escape hungry! There's no way we can fight and lose!

The man with his chest pierced grabbed my spear with both hands as he bled heavily and tried to seal the motion. I push the man in, let go of the spear with the momentum I pushed, and pull out the knife. The man fell on his back, and the men approaching from his left and right stood on his feet.

The man on the left toward me, he cut that belly with his cut tip before the swinging of the swing down. With the momentum I shook, I take a step forward to the right and poke another man's throat buddha. Instead of piercing like earlier, I stabbed about two inches of the cutting edge and pulled it right off.

"Don't put your back on my lord! Go on!"

I heard an ancient left anger coming from directly behind me. Do not kill the momentum that has moved forward, but go further. There was an old man with a spear made from scraped bamboo. I have few teeth. Behind the fallen eye, only the eyeballs gleam.

“Who did you kill?"

As I inquired, I slid past the old man's side and slit his neck like a slipper. If you take an attack and stop your body, you will be captured and killed by the next enemy. It's about moving anyway.

“Hate me? Can't you forgive me?"

The next thing I know, he was a younger man than me. He wraps a rusted knife around his hand with a cloth and keeps it from letting go. He bounced the sword down behind him and deflected it, flashing to the side, falling like a thread had been cut off.

♪ We're all the same ♪

A tall, melon-faced man was waving a thick knife wide up. I jump into the man's nose and pierce his heart as it is. With his left hand, he grabbed the knife the man had in his hand and took it away as he let himself go.

The truth is, we could've figured it out somewhere.

There's a man with a long spear tip pointed at me. Throw the sword at the man who just took it away. The man who ate it around the left clavicle fell from his knee with a faint voice.

“It's not the Buddha, it's not the teachings, it's all our fault."

Pull out the sidelines and trump the man trying to grab at me naked. In the same way, there are three men trying to stop me from moving. By coming forward, he leaves his sword flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing. Slash one person at a time per machete and wipe the sides off the cut with blood paste as soon as possible.

“I'm not asking you to forgive me. Curse me.”

A man with all the wounds waved down his sword, weeping blood. Flying straight to the side, he couldn't fight back, but the man fell forward and stopped moving at the same time as he slammed the blow to the ground.

“If there's a time when no one needs to be killed at the end of a killing spiral, we'll make sure we get there. So."

"At least now, meditate your eyes"

The following May 1st, the battle of Nagashima, long overtaken by the flames of the two remaining castles of Nagashima and Nakae, saw a settlement with the result of the total annihilation of the Sect.
