The land of Willow River was now in turmoil.
Let's just say it's too cluttered to clean it up in one word: 'war'.
Naturally, it is filled there with large numbers of soldiers, and it is clear to everyone that a fierce offensive is taking place. But what was invisible there, however different in degree, was certainly swirling.
What was that whirlpool, if I may say so in short, was' desire '.
Those who want to rebuild their homes…
Who wants to sell his flair to the powerful of time...
Those who want a wave against the times...
Various other 'desires' swirled around this land of the Willow River, no longer becoming one great twist, trying to create the course of the times.
In it, the pure white desire of one man pushes the battlefield straight toward its destination, glowing somewhat differently.
If asked why only the man's 'desire' is pure white, perhaps the man will answer:
- Because there is faith and love.
and…
And now, at the destination he was headed to, one woman kept fighting to pierce something while keeping the lights of her life smaller and smaller.
It was supposed to be something that you had to be unaware of, but it was only a moment earlier that she realized that it had been consolidated into a void.
She regretted it.
I resented my past self for not giving what I was supposed to give and not realizing what I was being given.
And she was giving it to him by fighting to get back the long time she'd wasted.
If you ask her such a question as to what she is giving, she will return it this way.
- It's gratitude and love.
and…
And when these two loves are united, the miracle to be brought about will be the blade that cleaves this black twist, giving the land of the Willow River, peace between the bundles...
………
……
The struggle wrapping around Tachibana's entire body made her stronger every time she waved 'Thunder Cut', causing her to fear an approaching enemy.
At the same time, however, whenever that struggle grows, something is shredded, necessary to live, from her body, weakened by her illness.
And it gradually took away the muscles of every part of the body.
No longer does it feel like I'm holding a knife in my hand.
On the contrary, it doesn't even feel like you're standing.
Barely breathing and grasping the heart seemed to keep its function healthy, but everything else was causing the anomaly.
And without even uttering a word, from the open eyes, it's finally time to feel the light, and the enemy only knows about the outline.
Still, she was grateful and happy to be able to fight for her husband, Somo Tachibana.
But even if emotions outweighed the flesh, there were limits.
- Karan...
And when I wondered if the high metal noise had come from the ground, 'Thunder Cut' finally got away from her hand.
All too suddenly, the enemy in front of her was also dazed, and she knelt gently, trying to pick up a knife in that gap.
But...
This was the limit...
"Knock..."
With that short voice, she fell to the front.
"Madam!!
Several offering soldiers accompanying her stand and spear around her.
But it was only a matter of time before they were crushed, like little bugs in the hands of Naomi Hot Island's main unit, about 10,000 large armies.
At that moment, when everyone on the spot, including the enemy, was ready for her death, the man appeared as a breeze with only a few nearby samurai at the beginning and behind him.
But on the brink of it, the spear-piercing of one enemy soldier had begun.
Exactly when the tip tried to pierce Chiyo's back...
Somo Tachibana, whose pure white vertical was dyed red by blood, slipped between her and her spear.
And at an unstoppable speed in his eyes, when he picked up the falling 'Thunder Cut' with his left hand, he shifted that direction upwards by shaking the 'Thunder Cut' up the spear he had pierced.
Then, just one step straight into the enemy soldier, he slashes it against the gallery and the empty torso with the "long light in front of it" that was gripped in his right hand.
The slashed soldier, how loud he made a noise and fell, stopped moving as it was.
"Hey... why...? Why are you back..."
Even those eyes, which nearly lost the light of the Xuan Dynasty, seemed to clearly confirm the glowing appearance of Zongmao.
She asked him why he had come back to himself, in a voice that seemed to disappear.
Zongmao answers with a clear voice.
"I told you, there is nothing more important to Somo Tachibana than your Lord. This life is with you, Chiyo, even if you are disqualified from the Lord."
There seemed to be something stronger to be felt there than the kindness of earlier, and the tears wet the cheeks of the Chiyo, which were supposed to have been shed out.
And Zongmao held the two swords firmly in his hands and became Jen-royal.
"Takahashi on your right, Tachibana on your left!
With the pride of both families in mind, Somo Tachibana, be Shura to protect your beloved wife!!
Call me!!
It was a riot between the two armies, and there were no artillery attacks. The footlights storm with spears.
But to say the least, it was the first time Zongmao stood around with two swords, but his fatigue was truly brilliant.
The "Thunder Cut" on the left is wielded to protect himself and the "Chiyo," and the "Prep Long Light" on the right is wielded to fight the enemy.
That fat muscle of the attack shook the Hot Island soldiers and blunted their feet.
Also the Kingsamurai, who guarded Zongmao, fought well, and the small circle of Tachibana armies, mainly in the Chiyo Dynasty, did not send their enemies.
Yet it is in the dark, and like one shining beauty star, people gather towards its circle that sheds light in white.
All of the armies of Naomi Hot Island, about 10,000, storm towards its circle. The pressure was terrific.
"To this extent, don't think you can break this Tachibana Somo!!
And, for the brave men of unrivaled heaven, it may only be felt as if it were a breeze against a burning flame.
Without the pressure of the Hot Island Army or anything else, the circle continued to defend the Qian Chiyo inside without disturbance.
And it was nothing but enemies that gathered in the light in the dark.
The armies of the allies were also close together, so that they could be drawn to their strong light.
It should be noted that by this time, the artillery attack by Tae-jung had been interrupted.
Because about 5,000 troops of Yoshioka Nobu Otomo, who added the armies of Yoshioka Apricots who pulled the battlefield from the way, were marching away from the front line at some point towards Kuroda and Tenmangu Mizuda, where Kato is located.
When the troublesome stoop was gone, one of the four kings of Tachibana, Lianzhen's army at ten o'clock, who was serving as a shimmer, regained his freedom.
He commands his army calmly, even in this turmoil, and aims to rendezvous with Zongmao.
And there was another squad, an army going for Zongmao.
It was Yubu's only army, about five thousand of them, that left Willow River Castle.
Those groups, who secretly left the castle through the gates of Azure, which were not normally used, opposite the Great Gate, came out in front of the castle to bypass the great gate, which was a fierce battle.
And he stormed through Katsumo Hot Island's army attacking Yanagawa Castle.
"I aim to be your lord and wife!! Anyway, move on! Kick whatever gets in the way!!
Yes, but when Shin issued the decree out loud, the Tachibana Army launched an assault aimed at a place where the formation had become relatively thin.
Under Seung-mo, the young general who took the form of being poked at the void, Mauri, the eyewitness, was not present on this occasion, and he was too young to make a decision, even in that situation, and turn his soldiers towards a yet surprising attack of uniqueness.
He avoided the Tachibana Army, which rushed into him with great momentum, so he was full.
And try to be strong,
"Don't go after those who leave the castle! Rather, this made the castle thin! This is an opportunity! Attack all at once!"
and encouraged Tadashima Hot Island and Mao Goto Tsuna and others on the front line.
Naomi Hot Island, on the other hand, with about 13,000 large troops, in addition to Maori's separate squads, continued to severely attack about a thousand of Maori's squads. He didn't panic and kept calm to keep abreast of the war, also due to the incredible stickiness of Zongmao's army, which he thought was on the verge of total collapse.
But we could not overlook the five thousand Tachibana armies that had just come out of Willow River Castle.
But the time between the instructions was delayed by one miscalculation.
Because he thought that his son Seung Mao, who was on the front line, was going to stop the Tachibana army from coming out of the castle.
But Seung-mo did not fight, and allowed his army to pass.
And this delay in instructions due to miscalculation will move the war situation significantly.
"Tell Mauri! Contain the troops approaching from Willow River Castle! Never let him rendezvous with Zongmao!
The army of Mauri, just rendezvous, 3,000, along with its decree, falls upon the impending interception of the Tachibana army.
However, he was unable to cope with the sudden instructions of Naomi and had to receive a sole assault of confidence in mere horizontal formation.
The only army of confidence on the one hand pushes forward with a formation of sharp arrows that only contemplates breaking through the other.
Even the Tachibana Army was larger in strength, and the superiority and inferiority of its formation and military morale were obvious, and the consequences of this clash were more obvious than seeing fire.
Mauri's army broke in two in the middle, lightly allowing the only army to enter.
"My lord!!
"My lord."
Almost simultaneously, the two heavy ministers rushed all at once to Zongmao, who was in a glowing circle.
And he kicked the Hot Island soldiers surrounding Zongmao, creating momentary resting times for Zongmao, who had been fighting under extreme tension for a long time.
He was Zongmao, who was fighting beyond the limits of his flesh, but with their rendezvous he would not loosen that temper. Already along the river, there was no such thing as an army of great friends who had made an obstinate artillery attack, and in order to ensure the safety of his back, he instructed the rendezvous forces to move that far together.
………
……
The Tachibana Army, which proceeded along the river in such an arrangement as to protect Chiyo and Zongmao, decided to fight the imminent Pan-island Army on the spot until they stopped their feet and asked for Zongmao's instructions.
On the front line, as the skirmishes continued, laying down the painful and seemingly painful Chiyo on the spot, Zongmao began discussions with the three of us, Shinxin and Lianzhen, in order to grasp the war situation and determine the future policy.
"But Shin, how's the castle?
"If it's about the time the lord returns to the castle, the lords Nomeno and Katsura must be able to do something about it!
Though he was the only one who told him so strongly, Zongmao saw the look on his face and perceived the situation of the castle.
"That's pretty dangerous..."
You thought you couldn't hide it from this word, but confidence dropped your shoulders and spoke.
"To be honest, I was wondering if it's just a matter of time before it falls into the hands of our enemies anymore… even if you just can't see the firehand from the castle so far, it might be a miracle"
Zongmao shrugged like a stomach when he took a big breath at the report.
"Well... that's one thing to do."
Saying so, Zongmao's eye color changes all at once, and he builds up a whimpering fighting spirit that makes the surrounding air tremble.
"More than this, my army will discuss Naomi Hot Island, the general!
If the General's army were to collapse, the morale of the army attacking the castle would also be lowered and forced to retreat!
This is the last place to fight! Everybody! Let's go!!
Unexpectedly, five thousand of Tachibana troops, led by General Tachibana Somo, are situated in front of them the core part of the Hot Island army, so to speak, which was heavy.
This was a great miscalculation for Naomi, who made Katsumo Hot Island his nominal general.
Because by letting Seung Mo keep his army and attack him, he had made it a wall to protect Nao Mo.
Inside that wall, the entry of an army of Tachibana Somo was an excellent opportunity to attack Somo.
Zongmao couldn't have missed this opportunity.
Also in this situation, Zongmao, who decided that returning Chiyo to the castle would instead drive her into crisis, decided to let Yubu Yushin and the soldiers, who placed absolute trust, break some time to escort her to the palace where the soldiers had left off, and let her remain guarded.
Thus no longer was the concern of the hindsight, and only the way forward was left for Somo.
But this is the way to protect my wife and Yanagawa Castle. He gave detailed instructions to those other than the soldiers who continued to skirmish on the front lines, gradually forming that formation.
And finally, when he had given the instructions to the end, and finished preparing for them, he made a loud order from there.
"Now is the time to show the strength of Somo Tachibana's legions, who are annoyed by unrivaled heavens!!
The enemy is Naomi Hot Island!!
All armies! Recommend YAY!!!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The Tachibana armies that tremble the earth against the decree that roars to heaven.
Thus began the fierce counter-attack of the Tachibana Army, which so far continued to be driven to absolute despair.
- No thanks!!
I don't know who put it out, but when the caller representing Tachibana wrapped up the battlefield, he pushed back the pot-island army that had been pushed in all at once.
"Hmm! I can't even tell the moment. Damn it!!
Don't give me the power of Hot Island!!
As people have changed, Naomi, who has unleashed dirty words, nevertheless sends instructions to the army in a crisp manner as a famous general.
The tactic he took was to thicken the center where Naokamo was, but spread the formation wide to the left and right, and after calling him enough, attack him to wrap it from the left and right.
"All armies! Arrange for placement!!
So he told the commanders, the forces of the controlled pot island simultaneously changed its formation as he wished and spread greatly from left to right.
But roughly the difference between a mortal and a famous general may be said to be a response to change.
To the movement of the formation change, Zongmao quickly perceived the intentions of the Hot Island Army and gave the following instructions.
"Left! Aim left, storm!!
The thin right-wing formation compared to the center for the Hot Island army, which opened wide left and right, could also be described as an exact weakness. The Tachibana army launched a fierce assault there.
Shortly after resisting, the right wing of the Hot Island Army was lightly crumbled.
"Ok! Keep up the momentum, for Naomi in the center, assault!!!
- Whoa, whoa!! Yes!!
Its sharp assault of the Tachibana Army still pierces the center of the Hot Island Army like a spear.
In awe of Tachibana Somo's genius battle, Naomi shifts to the next measure.
"Stop pestering me!! Decree!! Don't you have a decree!!
And when Naomi shouted, a few of the conductors came to him.
"One!! Expanded to the left wing, keep going around and slap next to Tachibana!
One!! Tell Yoshio Otomo to flip and attack Tachibana!!
"Ha!!
Some time after sending that transmission, the war situation moves.
For Tachibana's army, which pierced deep into the center, Mauri Hot Island's army stormed it as it circled from his left hand.
"Lian Zhen!! Deal with the Hot Island Army on the left!!
"Ha."
When he instructs Lian Zhen, who was fighting with Zongmao on the front line, he puts the soldiers behind the army together and makes them hit the left-wing Maori.
The attack from Mauri's side did not take a heavy blow to the Tachibana Army, but definitely blunted its propulsion.
"Ok! All you have to do is wait for Otomo to join us and we'll twist and crush him at once!!
"Don't lose! When you get here, all you have to do is focus on defeating Naomi! Yes!!
Zongmao himself is at the forefront, starting with the enemy spears, and screwing up his legs.
On the other hand, Naomi hasn't lost either. He refrained from backwards, but masterfully used the preaching to defend the center well and wavy the attack from the side.
Its one-off offensive lasts for a while, but the morale of the Tachibana Army, which tried to survive the castle, is quick, and the Hot Island Army is gradually shredded from its center.
Naomi, numbing at the look of it, finally raised her hips and gave instructions to the decree.
"Not yet!? Is Otomo still not coming?!? What a good opportunity to discuss Tachibana Somo!! Remind me!!
The situation was completely unexpected for Naomi, who was obsessed with how quickly he could drop the castle to win.
Of course, it was not assumed that Zongmao would come out of Yanagawa Castle and fight, it was unexpected that Zongmao's army would directly attack the "substantial" headquarters where Naokmao was located.
Though we were in this situation due to the course of the war, if we had attacked Willow River Castle carefully, we could have said that we would never have happened.
But that wasn't the only choice that drove him crazy.
In retrospect, Zongmao's unexpected instrumentation and the formation was changed.
Prior to that, Mauri, Seung Mao's staff member, was appointed as an ambush squad to Seung Mao, so that Seung Mao alone was put in charge of attacking Yanagawa Castle.
Misconceived the way the enemy came out and his power in the attack on Castle Castle Castle.
More importantly, I sent my son Seung-mo to Kangahara's land...
All of these choices changed his mind a little bit, and he finally got to put a blade under his throat.
But it's no longer too late to regret it.
He finally decided to cut his last hand.
It was a forbidden thing...
"Tell Seung-mo! Retreat from Willow River Castle and poke behind Somo Tachibana's main unit,"
The late Hideyoshi Tai used to have a man named Naomi Hot Island.
"Wisdom and courage to take the heavens, but not enough atmosphere"
He said he reputed it.
Even in this battle, the 'exterior' was perfect as the example was, such as the way it proceeded from its preparation and the hand-wound to the great fames around it.
But when that 'outer surface' was stripped, his past too spicy experience of the battle dropped him into the mortal.
An order from Naomi is given to Seung Mao, who attacked Yanagawa Castle just before the attack.
Seung-mo has no experience or courage enough to disobey the orders of his great father, who was also loved by Hideyoshi Tai.
Pushing off the opposing Goto Mao Tsuna et al., he withdrew his soldiers from Yanagawa Castle.
And about fifteen thousand large armies led by Seung Mao began marching without poking Soo Mao Tachibana behind his back.
Naomi looks like
"Now we win!! Get ready! Somo Tachibana!!
And, clouding his eyes out of focus, he laughed ugly.
But even this choice goes to the back.
Inside Willow River Castle was not even in the corner of his head, such as the "ghost of Cage Castle", which held the castle firmly.
"Suggestion Hall!! It is an opportunity!! It's the only time I can do it back for what I've been hit!!
I'll take care of it here!
Lord Nomino, get the soldiers together and poke the Hot Island Army out of your back!
And one of the seven stars of Toyotomi, Gui Hiroshi, encouraged the time of Masano, and the time of Masano followed it, and when he put together three thousand soldiers, he opened the major gates and popped out of the castle.
"Aim, Katsumo Hot Island!! We're going to clear up all the depression we've had!! Yes!!
- No thanks!!
As if he were a pig, he goes into the great army of Seungmao, the army at the increase.
Katsumo Hot Island, who was directing the assault from the rear of the line, was in havoc when faced with a sudden attack.
Some pot-island soldiers who can't hide their fatigue by continuing to attack the rugged Willow River Castle in the first place begin and end up coming out to those who escape.
By the time Tadashima Hot Island and Mao Goto noticed the anomaly in the rear and turned it back, even the Kingsguards defending Seung Mao were fighting with spears.
Regardless, there is no reason to assault Tachibana Somo Squad in this state.
Even the foolish choice to abandon the castle attack was a miscalculation.
But...
The miscalculation didn't stop at this.
Nyaar.
One black cat gets lost in front of a rushing Naomi.
"Yes! What are they all doing!?
And Naomi, who forgot me in anger, doesn't even realize the existence of the cat.
Nyaar.
A black cat that rings even smaller.
"Shut up!! Get over there!!
It was Naoko who finally realized its existence, but all he did was kick the black cat in the foot and get rid of it.
"Fuck!! Are you going to make fun of me even the cat!!
… and it was then…
Dodd dodd dodd!!
and a yet earthy bursting sound shook the tympanic membrane of Naoshio.
"Hey, what!?
Moreover, the bursting sound did not stop at once, but lasted twice, three times.
- Whoa, whoa!!!
And the moment that the burst sounds are over, the roar of the rough men heats the air around them.
And, uh...
He did hear the name in his ear…
Drop him to the bottom of the Nara, the name...
"Shimazu only Shinsai, come here!!!
I came to help Somo Tachibana!!
It was the moment Shimazu Army 10,000, led by Yoshihiro Shimazu, descended on the land of Yanagawa...
It arrived three days earlier than in history.
