When my father Yoshihei Otani was still able to move on his own feet, Yoshiji Otani recalled that he was in a critical situation surrounded by enemies.

That was in the early morning of one day.

It was when my father Yoshihei, who suddenly came to the bunk, climbed a small high mountain near the castle in a word of "follow me".

For Yoshiji, who was still young and whose hands and feet were considerably shorter than they are now, it was important to aim for the top of the small mountain.

He was already overflowing with victory around this time and rarely showed weakness or anything, but when he was about to rise to the harshness of climbing,

"Father... isn't this better already...? Your mother will be worried when it's too late."

And he appeals to his father, who follows him from behind to turn back in the middle. Yoshihei, who heard it, laughed out loud,

"Ha! Are you unconscious? Are you screwed already?

and asks to provoke him.

For him, who hated to lose from the roots, the word seemed to be an exciting ingredient to move forward, and when he clenched his lips, he took the mountain path one step and one small foot further without wiping the sweat that floated on his forehead.

From his back like that, this time a father who speaks out to encourage.

"Look, if there's a mountain, go for the top. Go to the top and the view will change."

"If you go to the top, the view changes"

He crushed it again and again, and continued to climb without stopping his legs as his consciousness grew tired.

And...

"Wow! Wow! Awesome! Father!

Parents and children finally reached the summit of the mountain.

From there, the view of the castle town was illuminated by the morning sun and floated brightly in colour.

"This landscape can only be worshipped by those who arrive here. It's like privilege, to say the least.

Proceed with the view only visible beyond, even if it is painful.

Well, we'll never forget today. "

Yoshiji still remembers clearly my father's face back then.

Known by its name as part of supporting the Toyotomi family's stalls, Yoshihei Otani's proud side...

Then it was only half a month later.

Because of the illness my father had already suffered at this time, my leg freedom was no longer favourable...

◇ ◇

Now if the place is different, the situation is completely different.

But for Yoshiji Otani, there was only one thing to do.

"Go to the top and the view will change! Everyone's! Follow me!!

At the foot of Mount Matsuo, Yoshiji was shouting for a decree.

Hideaki Oyagawa, who turned to Tokugawa with the beginning of the war, was attacked by Yoshihei Otani's army.

He then gently wields a huge knife that is distinctly different from his surroundings, slashing and laying down the enemies that strike him at the forefront. Such a loss to him and the elites of the Otani Squad repeatedly stormed for Hideaki Koyagawa in front of them.

The Kowakawa Squad's troop strength at this time is about 15,000.

Yoshie Otani and Yoshiji combined for about 3,000.

The remaining 2,700 are led by Tatsuhiro Hiratsuka, Katsunaga Toda, and Yoshisei Kishita's son, who have fought a fierce battle with a total of about 5,000 teams of four anti-flagged Akatsu, Ogawa, Decaying Tree, and Sakasaka at the foot of the mountain.

In historical fact, Hideaki's army turned around some time after the start of the match, so it appears that Hideaki confronted Hideaki's 15,000 in the retained Yoshie's direct soldier 600, but Jiayang's "fear" distorted the historical truth even as he fought in this locality.

Now, about half an hour has passed since the fire lid of the battle was already cut and dropped, but the battle situation at Matsuo Mountain repeated one by one, and its front was in adhesive condition.

"Yes! What are you bringing! Kick your ass, Otani!

Upon hearing the war report, Hideaki Koyagawa is yelling and scattering at the headquarters at the top of the mountain.

"But the momentum of the Otani army is very strong..."

I guess the decree with his head down has actually seen the battle with its eyes.

Seeing Yoshiji sifting a sword as loud as a god, and Yoshihei inspiring his surroundings with an awesome voice as thunder, he can't stop trembling.

"Oh, pity! Are you lords willing to defile the name of the Toyotomi under heaven!?

Yes! Enough! Let me show you an example of this Kingo Chinese battle!!

Shouting like that, Hideaki, dyed bright red to the tip of her forehead, stood up to leave the main unit like she'd forgotten me.

"I won't! You must not leave this place, Lord Kim Goh Nakana-kun!

No matter how strong Otani is, many of them are passive. With a little more patience, I'm sure the war situation leans towards the better.

Besides, the troops of Fujido and Kyoko, our Imperial palace, will also come to the aid knife, so after that, Daiya will surely collapse.

Please wait!

It was Jinji Okhei who stopped Hideaki.

As a guide to Hideaki, he was sent by Jiayang.

Even with him, he is destined to be with the army of the creek.

I appealed to Hideaki with a serious look, as if I felt like I could never lose.

But a man named Hideaki Koyakawa seems oddly self-respecting for his ability to do so.

Sometimes, Sadaji said, "With the help of Fujido and Kyoto, we can defeat Otani."

Who does the Lord take me for? Fujido, even without the addition of Kyoko, you will be kicked in with my extraction at Okaya!!

And when he proclaimed it sophisticated, he left the main formation with a large strand.

"Attack! Attack! Attack!!

The opponent is an army of disloyal rebels! Not our enemy!! No!!

I wonder if Yoshihei Otani from the rear of the army is sifting through the extraction from above and continues to order a burning, loud assault that I don't think is suffering from a very dying disease.

"Don't lose your father's temper!! Carve the strength of Otani into the creek!!

and his son Yoshiji. This one is on the front line for a decree.

The army of Oya, transformed into a fireball as if rolling down a steep hill, was pushing toward the summit, one more person and one less person and their number, but more than that, kicking the soldiers of the creek.

Hideaki came down the mountain near the front line when he finally plugged into the middle belly of the mountain.

The futilely vivid helmet and armor decorations could be clearly seen in his eyes even a little further away from Yoshiji.

"Rebellion Kingo!! have you come to get that neck slashed about this!! Everyone's!! One aim!! It's his neck! Let's go!!

Yoshiji and his soldiers come up the slope in a straight line towards Hideaki Autumn with such strength that they don't think they've been fighting for about half an hour (an hour) already.

All his eyes were murderous, and they were bloody and bright red to burn.

It was Hideaki, who was breathing so much at the summit of the mountain, but when he saw the temper of Shizuyoji in front of him, he turned his face from red to blue at once.

"Hino!! Everyone's! Protect me!!

It is a battle on narrow mountain roads.

When several people came out to be pushed out before Hideaki, they inevitably stormed towards Yoshiji.

But the difference in momentum is historical.

Several soldiers who came out before Yoshiji, under his sword, are slashed down and scattered their lives.

"Hiya good!! Hey, hey, what the fuck!? What about that machete!? It's sloppy!!

Hideaki turned the curse on Yoshiji, too upset to think he was on the battlefield.

"Ha! I didn't know he was a Toyotomi named and didn't know this knife... laugh!!

This is the "Bell Cut Knife" that crossed over to His Royal Highness the late Taiko! Take that sharpness, and taste it!!

Yoshiji approaches Hideaki without even having a crowd of enemy soldiers.

Hideaki, who feared for it,

"Not the one! He's the only one who's gonna hit us! And let that sword be mine!

and ordered Yoshiji to be attacked intensively. And all the way here, reveal your appetite...

However, even if one person is attacked intensively on narrow mountain roads, the number of people that can do so at a time is limited.

Besides, the soldiers other than Yoshiji were sharp enough, and the operation did not proceed as ordered by Hideaki.

"Yes! What are the artillery teams doing! Let me get this far now!

Hideaki, no longer mad, ordered the artillery squad to be sent to the front line, which had kept him waiting near the summit.

This artillery squad is a soldier put in place by Sadaji Okipei to intercept the enemy in case he is pushed near the summit.

I didn't just instruct you to change that arrangement on your own. Hideaki ordered them to start firing immediately.

"Ugh! Shoot them!

"But! Your allies are still engaged!

Even though Yoshiji's momentum sees it, the soldiers of the stream stand before them with spears and swords.

That is precisely to protect Hideaki, the general.

Hideaki instructed that every soldier should be shot out.

"Yes! Can't you hear me?!? Just shoot me! Shoot! Shoot!

Its insane voice unleashes artillery at the same time. The butterflies and soldiers fell, regardless of enemy allies, along with the bursting noise that stumbled through their ears.

Battlefield surrounded by a moment of silence.

There came the ecstatic laughter of Hideaki's victory.

"Hiccup... how about it! You got it! Now bring that sword to me. Let it be my treasure."

And it was when I ordered the soldiers who were nearby.

From among the fallen soldiers, a man rose up and ran forward at once.

"Bye, silly! Why are you alive!!

It was Yoshiji who rose up.

Seeing it, several other Otani soldiers rise up and rush into the enemy line with Yoshiji.

They walled a few enemy soldiers in front of them, and prevented the bullet.

"To be artillery on every side, you despicable man! It will succeed!! Whoa whoa!!

When he kicks the helpless artillery squad that has just released a bullet, Yoshiji waves up his sword greatly if he doesn't finally make a blow to Hideaki.

"No, no, no, no! Somebody help!!

Out of pity, Hideaki pleads for help. But the soldiers around them couldn't even get close enough to spear too much Yoshiji's temper.

Kang!!

Exactly when Yoshiji's knife tried to snap Hideaki's neck, the momentum of that blade was completely stopped along with the high metal noise.

"Who is it!?

Yoshiji looks at the face of the person who received his sword with a full face of surprise.

I can't help but be surprised at him.

Because it was the first time in this fight that his sword was taken.

"Awkward people are ministered by the Tokugawanai Prefecture, and named Sadaji Okipei!

"You're the hand of the inner house!! You betrayed me from the beginning!

And Yoshiji's angry spearhead can still be turned to Hideaki, who is losing his hips and getting his chin wet.

Then from Sadaji, for Hideaki,

"Lord Kingo!! Move to the summit!

If the Admiral's Highness is not at his command, the soldiers' morale will not rise! With that big nostalgia, leave the front line to us!!

And when he set up Hideaki, he commanded him to return to the main formation at the summit of the mountain with skill in words.

Did you feel better about the words, or did you finally return them to me in the face of a crisis in your life, Hideaki tried to escape and left towards the summit.

And Sadaji, who opened the distance from Yoshiji a little, shouted out loud at the perfectly scared noticed creek soldier behind him.

"This battle will be won by the Tokugawachi Prefecture!

Everyone's! If you want to keep it for a grace award, let it get you through here!

If you defeat Otani, it will work wonderfully!! No!!

The "grace prize" was used as bait because this army general is the general.

And the inspiration of Sadaji manifested itself brilliantly, capturing the hearts of the soldiers of the creek, a sharp assault unparalleled earlier.

"Yeah! I didn't know you could feed me. That's an army of Kingo! We have righteousness!

Proceed! Go for the top of the mountain!!

Nor has Yoshiji lost.

He also shook his voice to encourage the soldiers, who carried out an even harsher assault in response to his feelings.

I thought the fierce clashes between the two armies had begun again.

But that was no longer an exaggeration when it came to the general of the Kohayagawa army, Sadaji Okira, was fatally wounded by Yoshiji Otani's sword.

"This is where the battle is!! Everyone's!! Proceed all at once!!

Sadaji's wounds lowered his morale at once, and the Koyagawa army slipped back to the top of the mountain.

"Go to the top and the view will change!

Yoshiji Otani moved forward without relaxing and not feeling so crushed and tired.

Almost to the top of the mountain.

If we get there...

But...

It was then...

And it came to pass from the foot beside the mountain road, that the enemy soldiers suddenly appeared, thinking that a voice had risen immediately beside them.

Yoshiji just had to retreat from this, too.

"What!? What happened!?

Behind you... that is, looking back at the way you came, you are starting to engage enemy soldiers who have come from the side everywhere.

"We are a team of Fujido Takati! I've come to join Lord Ogigawa!

And when a man appearing to be a general of an army was politely named, Yoshiji attacked him.

Yoshiji's army was ambushed.

"Rebuild your attitude once!! Hikie!!

Still calmly, Yoshiji gave the instructions.

Soon, at the summit of the mountain, it could be called a careless retreat, but he thought that no further sacrifice should be made to him.

But the opponent is also the Fujido team of Hundred Wars Smelting.

"Don't miss this opportunity! All at once!"

and pushed the momentum of the ambush all at once.

"Stop pestering me!! If you fall down here, all you've ever done is blister! Everybody! Step on it!!

Yoshiji also raised his voice and was finally able to get away from Fujido.

There have been roughly two hours since the battle has already begun.

The exhausted army of Yoshiji Otani had already reduced its number by more than half to a clump.

And… bad things are overlapping.

It was also in Yoshiji's ear that the army of Hiratsuka and Hiroshi, who had been fighting at the foot, had been wiped out.

The great army of the creek is still thought to be more than 10,000 from above. And Fujido reinforcements who came to the reinforcements.

From below, in addition to Akazo, Ogawa, Decaying Tree, and Yoshisaka who broke the Hiratsuka Squad, Fujido's main unit and Kyoto are rushing up together...

Whether you go or hell, whether you go or leave, this is exactly what hell is all about.

"Rest in peace..."

Two letters of "defeat" start to cast a dark shadow on Yoshiji just like that...

No more...

I was about to give up like that.

It was then.

The scolding voice of my father calling me from my back...

"If you go to the top, the view changes"

Seeing as it is, my father's immediate SS, who has already become a few. Out of it, Yoshihei was staring at him and squeezing out his voice.

Don't lose! Don't give up!

The memory of the mountain climb with my father, who was the first and last of those days, comes back to life.

The landscape my father wanted to show me then, the dream awaits me ahead.

When I thought so, the flame that went out in his eyes lit up again.

And he made a strong decision in his heart.

storming towards the summit of the mountain...
