5 Years of Celebration (1600) September 3 -
"Yes! What are you bringing!! You still think my husband can protect His Highness without kicking one of the little castles away!!
Kiyoshi Kato's anger shook the air around him.
The soldiers around him are afraid, and no one tries to come near him. When he found those who were so hip, he kicked his ass and drove him to the front of Kurumi Castle.
The messenger of the opening of the castle, sent on the day of his arrival, clouded his complexion in vain, and returned before the purification. And in the course of that day, I changed hands a few times, and I sent a surrender envoy.
"You can't surrender in silence to your husband, Master Soo-bao."
and none of them got a good color reply.
Nor can he be stopped any further by the boulder, and he starts the attack the next day. It was extremely harsh, and he himself had not had half a day, but the defense of Kurumi Castle was hard against expectations.
Two days have already passed since the attack was launched, but the situation has not changed at all. In a small number of cases, the wounded were also beginning to emerge, and if morale was involved for any longer, Purity itself took the front line and began to direct.
Standing along the serpentine Tsukuba River, Kurumi Castle faces a completely large river to the north and west and cannot be attacked from there.
Even above the location, in a plain stretching out by the river, on a small high hill, the castle is arguably a very difficult castle if you take it as your attacking side.
But for the deep purity of the castle, there seems to be somewhere through which the castle is built and attacked. The army of Kato, on which he stood at the forefront, boasts unparalleled strength in siege warfare. In spite of his usually short temper and swine rush, he will observe carefully when it comes to the castle.
"The defense in that place is thin! Climb focused from there!!
The observation was targeted, with stone walls that are less likely to be counterattacked by defensive soldiers, from which many soldiers twist and climb as they glimpse through using ladders and handkerchiefs.
The defensemen will also be desperate to drop them, but it is difficult to get artillery and arrows from that location a little further from the
Then finally, several soldiers broke through the walls and entered into the three circles, as well as the immediate opening of the major gates.
"Wow!" said the soldiers, boiling in joy for a moment. But Purity...
"It's not over yet! Get into Honmaru at once!!
and kicked himself in the belly of the horse, entering the castle. And the soldiers that saw it were not to be left behind by the Admiral; and they were glad, and they went into the castle with a loud voice.
But the defensive side hasn't lost either.
"This is the place to compete!! Everyone's! Defend the castle and your wife!!
Guiguang Hiroshi, the elder who issued the decree, himself pioneered a large spear with one hand and stormed into the enemy formation.
"What!? What about that old man!?
And, as beholden as the beholder is, Shura becomes and Broad and Traditional slashes into the army of purity.
The defensemen repeatedly assaulted him, wondering if he would lose to the old bones.
Thus more fierce battles were to be waged in the castle than at the beginning at the major gates and tiger mouths, but if they were broken through the castle gate, the intrusion would be numerous and impotent.
That's Guiguang Traditional is also out of breath and has to retreat behind. The other defensemen fought well, but they were torn apart by three circles, two circles, to stop the momentum of the army of purity.
"Gu... so far..."
The widespread appearance disappeared as it dragged its heavy body into the main circle. Its eyes are clouded by the tragic fate awaiting him after this.
It's...
I'll kill all the women and children in the castle with extensive hands.
It's too spicy.
Because those in the castle are not allowed to "self-harm" …
He rarely shed tears or anything, but all this time was different.
Even a temperamental man could not forbid tears flowing down his throat.
And that fate he carried seemed heavy enough to blunt his footsteps, which slowly led him to a room in the castle.

"Are you still here... that's it... broad and prosperous"
Maori Masencia said with her back turned that her armor had come into the room. There's nothing wrong with that. If you hear a unique sound of armor rubbing, it will determine who it is and what it means every second of every day.
The room was like a small chapel.
On the wall is a large crucifixion, beside which is a plaster imitating the Virgin Mary. And a painting is placed on it.
There were dozens of women and children in the castle all in that room, ready to die and waiting.
But before death, it is only natural that the readiness to do so will be dull. I can hear a few sobbing voices that I can no longer stand.
"Unfortunately, this will soon be a sea of fire"
"Really... you have no hope anymore"
"Hope..."
For a broad audience, such things were discarded before the day. He couldn't have had his own hopes or anything at a time when Maori, the master-in-law, had passed away and become Huiyuan's substitute.
There was not so many humans around him that would give me hope.
Even the castle owner turned back in the castle he guarded, and the only respectful Soji Shimizu was cut off.
He never met a "star of hope" for him, so to speak, that he might want to defend himself by risking his life. The same is true even of his current master, Soo-bao Koyakawa.
His heart died with his late lord.
Still, with his readiness to die with the castle as a pillow, he exchanged spears with Major General Kiyoshi Kato, all due to his own will.
"Oh... at least before I died, I wanted to meet my husband who deserved to be protected with his life..."
He couldn't help but mourn and uttered his voice from the bottom of his heart.
Maori Masencia sees it with gentle and gentle eyes.
As she shrugged the baby, she shrugged away.
"This, widespread. You mustn't give up hope until the end. Because only those who believe can do it."
Broad and prosperous stared at her in surprise.
Even during this death, I couldn't believe this woman and her faith, which pushed me to make a ruthless demand not to give up hope.
Is there really still hope...
But all I'm saying is that such a thing is just an illusion, "Don" and a loud explosion sounded from within the castle.
"Career!" he says, hugging each other as the women scream briefly.
Probably an enemy has penetrated within Honmaru.
"It still seems like it's been so far..."
And I cut wide and wide to squeeze.
"Then start with me. For one thing, please."
and Maori Masencia joins hands to pray, closing her eyes.
Broad Tradition stood up a spear, with tears in his eyes.
"Sorry..."
… and it was then.
It was in a room surrounded by mindless silence that one old armored samurai with enthusiasm came in to roll.
"Who is it!
Has the enemy come this far yet?!?
While surprised by the entry of a stranger into this room behind a hidden door, Broadbred stood nervously with his last servant and his spear against him.
Then the samurai in his armor spread his hands,
"No! Wait! Don't go too fast! I'm here to save you!
and struggled to control widespread propaganda.
But in his old age, it seems like this is all he has to say.
He showed a piece of fabric spread out in front of a wide variety.
It's like showing his identity...
"Vine Bar Tattoo..."
When he saw the tattoo, Maori Masencia laughed nicely.
"Look, you're right, right? Widespread. Those who believe will be saved."
Yes, what it means to have that crest...
It was an indication that the old warrior was a "Kuroda man".
