Now, before we get into the main part, let's do one lesson.

Have you ever seen a herd of breeding deer?Normally, they are divided into males and females, but during the breeding season, the males and females merge.

Weak predators are the normal wild world.It is inevitable that dozens of females will come close to each other, as if surrounded by a strong male.It is said that the difference between male and female life spans is one of the factors... but let's leave it for now.

Therefore, a herd of deer, led by a male, has a hunting method that preys on the entire herd. It's "Scroll Hunting."

This is how many hunters split up between deer hunters and hunters, hunting large numbers of deer at once... but one caveat.

It's the boss of the herd. Don't target males.

If the boss is killed, the herd will fall apart and become useless.You shoot at the next deer by letting them escape.

Okay, that's it for now.

Let's get down to business.

I want you to put one in your head before you go into the main part.Nothing, killing the boss and tearing the herd apart is not limited to animals...



June 1999 Shigeya Niigata, Tensho

He rid himself of a line-up of enemy soldiers, and he just stared at Uesugi Kaiseki.As early as possible, I only had Kamikaze Uesugi in my eyes.

A fleeing Uesugi soldier. However, some brave men bravely blocked the path.

"Someone, the Uesugi family..." I'm in the way!!! "

However, this level of obstruction touches the armor cuffs.Certainly, the temperament is laudable, but it is not easy to stop a horse that has accelerated to maximum speed.

My horse is a black circle.Although horses are inherently cowardly, black circles running through numerous battlefields do not upset the samurai to the extent that they have blocked the front.

However, the colour of fatigue can be seen in some black circles.

There was a lot of sweat on her neck, and she was breathing.

"Almost there. Just hold on a little longer."

When you stroke your neck to hold it, it rings forcefully to respond to it.In that healthy appearance, I bit my lips.

Even if some scaffolding was consolidated for this time, the original geology is too bad.Honestly, it's not where horses run. Niigata is.

I don't know how far I ran.I don't know how many enemies I've destroyed.

There are only two things I know.It must be close to the neck of Uesugi Kaiseki.And the black circle has already reached its limit.

A little later, a little later.Almost there, I was able to slash into the main battalion of the Uesugi army.

"That's why! Good luck! Black circle!!"

Hold the rope tightly and gaze forward.Distance to the Uesugi Army's main base.And to calculate the time to reach it.

But, mercilessly, in my vision, I saw the family crest depicting "two flying sparrows in bamboo" slowly moving away.

And the Uesugi army lined up to block our path.

If you have all the judgment materials on the boulder, you can tell.

They are the lords. We will continue to buy time until that life runs out.I unexpectedly looked up at the sight of the future that I had seen.

--Ah... this is the earliest...?

I had no choice but to be sorry.Put your head on the neck of a black circle and chew your lips as you bleed.I know intuitively.If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to take revenge with your hands at the earliest...

The operation was more perfect than ever.Many ministers have worked desperately for this day, trying and making mistakes over and over again while they are asleep.

But, but! We didn't have one more step to break through the physical wall of strength.If we go any further, we will no longer be able to return to our own forces.I can't let Kagugoro and the others go to hell.We can't afford to make a mistake.

Pull the rope and slowly slow down.

Then, when her posture was changed sufficiently, she gave instructions to Kuromaru and confronted Kaigoro and the others.Kagugoro and the others were also slowing down when they sensed my movements.

"I'm going back to Niigata Castle! All troops retreat! "

When I gave the order to scream, I ran towards Niigata Castle at a glance.Follow me, no one will complain.

The Uesugi army, dazed by us, who suddenly began to retreat, cannot move by themselves.We went on to run without the Kamisugi army.

Then, when he was sufficiently distanced, Gugugoro lined up beside him and whispered with a lonely expression.

"Brother-in-law..."

Don't say that.

Before Kagugoro talks, I'll keep it small.

"Don't say anything..."

"My brother-in-law...."

The sight seeps, and the reality that you didn't get one step further, you have no choice but to have a painful chest.But we have to move on.I had to move on... I had to.

"Life is something you can't leave behind."

Never look back, but after us, eating our teeth and running, the sun shined on us, leaving only Shizukuishi shining pale.

Efforts are not always rewarded.

Wishing does not always come true.

Still, people reach out to their dreams.



Unfortunately, I couldn't reach the neck of Uesugi Kaiseki.However, the Uesugi army achieved a massive blow.

... how good would it have been if it had ended there?I thought I would be able to return to Niigata Castle soon, and then I saw a figure in front of me.Young man. Sure, he was on the east side.

The words of the young man shocked us.

"Report! More than a thousand troops are coming east! On its back is a flag inscribed with "Triple Three-Point Round".I think it belongs to a famous house!!! "

The bamboo tube that fell to zero broke apart with an unpleasant sound.



A young man watching a man sink into the sea of blood.

The young man had a trance smile as he dyed his beautiful face with bright red blood that fascinated the viewer.

"Ahh... ah... it's true. This way, your gaze will no longer be directed at anyone.Never again will you be turned against the foxes.I can monopolize it forever. "

A young man murmuring in love while gazing at a sword wet with fresh blood.I saw a sentence on the chest where I kicked my skin.

--Thank you....... Master Guardian.

The young man's name is Sanzaemon.
