May 20, 2012.
That day shall be the beginning and the end of all things in the latter generations.
Suddenly, Oda Nobuo's rebellion was reported to the three mages who were pleased to have destroyed the Otomo family and fulfilled the world's unity of grief. Suzuran, who brought back the information, is also unfaithful! And he was trembling with indignation.
However, at this time, it was still within the expected range of the Third Master. In the first place, I suspect I don't want to see Ieyasu. I was thrilled when I lowered my head in public, but if I think about it carefully, I think that the Third Master is a little stinky... You may have been born a son of a ruler, or you have acquired skills that were unrelated in your previous life.
Well... Nobunaga is suspicious in various ways, but the third mage's vigilance target was only Ieyasu, and it was judged that there would be no problem if Ieyasu's territory was monitored. Because if you try to prepare for battle, there will always be a trace in the logistics. Like Nobuo. That's why the Third Master expected that the rebellion led by Nobuo would be about 3,000.
That's not all. If I knew that I was aiming for the head, I would understand the marching path. The only way to get to Azuchi Castle is through Minokuni. There is the famous Gifu Castle. The castle is guarded by the three most trusted sorcerers, Shingoro, with three thousand soldiers.
Furthermore, Katsuyada waited for Hokuriku in his own territory so that he could rush to the rescue immediately. The Azuchi Castle has 2,000 Red Ghosts, and the Wakasa Country has 3,000 soldiers in Katsumori.
And, just to make a point, he had already summoned Hideyoshi as an opponent of Tokugawa Ieyasu. That number, ten thousand. Hideyoshi was originally given 30,000 soldiers as an Otomo expedition, but 2,000 were crushed by Ryusanji Takashin, and under the influence of this, Nagahide, his right arm, was treated at Tachibana Yamashiro. Three thousand soldiers will be allocated to the escort. Since the latter fifteen thousand was deposited with the Nobunaga, it was ten thousand in all when it arrived at the kingdom of Kuniura.
Simply, it was a maneuver to strike down an equivalent celestial person with the celestial person of the historical fact, but the three mages were preparing without any compromise. What a suicidal act to lick a great man who has made a name in history. This tremendous momentum was instantly annihilated the moment it defied the enemy! That's all I'm saying.
Before long, Ieyasu went on top of it.
If the three mages prepare the streets in the hope of the development of the people and the country, they will disguise the soldiers as their workers and hide them. It was taken by the Tokugawa army from the inn to the Nagaya, such as a certain station. This is due to the efforts of the people of the Three Rivers... let's talk about this one after another.
Furthermore, it moves the remnants of Shindaida and Uesugi, instigates Sasakatsu to fall into the darkness, and at the end of the sentence, it unites with the Kuroda guards to bring Hideyoshi down.
In the meantime, Ieyasu rendezvoused with Nobuo and swelled up to a total of 15,000 troops. On the other hand, the gesture of Shingoro of Gifu Castle was 3,000, and the gesture of the three mages of Azuchi Castle was only 2,000. Alright, even if Katsuzo is in time, it will be eight thousand in total. It was nearly twice as strong as the Tokugawa Army. Somehow, if I noticed, all the measures of the three mages were on the verge of being devoured, used, and later jammed with one hand.
Now, what decision will the Third Master make from now on? Before we do that, let's take a look at the situation everywhere.
Yamashiro Kasuga, Echigo-kuni, May 10, 1912.
At this place ruled by the Oda family elder Katsuya Shibata, the darkness began to hide.
By the time the moon was still shining in the dark, a hand of fire had unexpectedly risen from the castle town. One, two, three, four... a chain of small explosions, gray smoke rising high in the sky. The sound of a ringing bell. Screaming. Raging. Many people were sleeping, and the castle town was quickly swallowed up by the vortex of chaos.
In this way, there is one shadow that runs over the roof and aims to reach Kasugiyama Castle at the shortest distance. Asahi is the name. It is the shadow of Kunoichi that supports the rule of Katsuya Shibata by the order of the three mages.
"Shibata-sama!! Thank you very much!"
He jumped over the gate, waved out the gatekeeper's restraint voice, and ran down the hallway with a loud voice.
Those who woke up from their sleep with their voices gazed out at what was noisy. They all opened their eyes to the state of the castle, where dozens of fire hands were rising, and moved in a hurry.
The morning face that felt the sign changed its feelings when it took a quick breath and ran upwards. And finally, it opened the hall's doors.
"Excuse me...?!"
There was a figure of the Sheng family confronting someone in a black suit. Perhaps he was upset by the arrival of a newcomer, but the black suit slightly strengthened his body. It was too deadly a gap in battle.
"Nnnnnh!!"
"... ah! Shima...!?"
A bundle of black clothes sank into the sea of blood with a blow to the Sheng family's head. It was a breathtaking morning look at the sight, but when I looked closely, I noticed that four or five other people in black had similarly sunk into the sea of blood.
How are you, Shibata-sama?
"... oh, Lord Asahi." Hmm. No problem. He was an adversary.... but they're wasting my time. Perhaps that is the purpose. ”
Katsuya murmured as she wiped the blood on the sword. There, two men rushed over. It was Sakuma Morisaki, who was a powerful force for Katsushima Shibata, the adopted son of the Katsushima family. Both of them were wearing shrouds with blood on them, and it was found that they were attacked in the same way as the Sheng family on the way.
"Father-in-law!! When a fire broke out in the dumpling shop under the castle, neighbors reported seeing a suspicious man!" Apparently, the man closely resembles the one who served the old Shindaida family! "
"It has also been reported that we saw the former Uesugi family!"... Uncle, this can't be a coincidence. Obviously, it must be some kind of vandalism. Let's quickly find out who the underdog is!! "
"... calm down, Sheng Zheng. For now, it's better to end this chaos than to seek out the underdogs and enemies."
Katsuya looked at her face as she divided up her conversation.
"This commotion... it stinks. There was no basis for it, but I had an unending feeling about it.... Asahi-sama, please promptly tell this to the Third Master. If there was a small strike with the family crest of the Shibata family engraved on it, the lords of the various regions would be willing to lend their horses. Please make the most of it!"
"Hah, hahaha! Now, I'll excuse you for this!"
As he took the bayonet, he lowered his head deeply and thanked her, and the morning face quickly headed to the stable. In the stable, only the horses are left behind, and no one can tell if the caretaker has already escaped. In the morning, I left the castle across the horse to be more convenient.
Scream. Raging. Screaming. Running through a chaotic castle town with no face in the morning. I can't help but feel compassion when I see someone begging for help once.
(I'm sorry... but I can't afford to help you right now. I've had a weird chest racket since before......)
Morning faces showing stunning reins are dark. Everyone gave way to such a sneaky expression.
Morning face rushes to Hokuriku with the minimum necessary food and sleep. Arrived in Kaga on May 16th, about six days after leaving Kasugayama Castle. As expected by the Sheng family, there was chaos all over the place, and they ran through desperately while being bypassed along the way.
A shadow approaches from his face.
"Stop right there, Morning Face!"
"What!? Haha, Lotus?"
There, as in the morning, there was a lotus that ran across the ground on horses. When she pulled the leash on the figure and stopped the horse, the lotus grabbed the shoulder of her morning face with a sneaky expression.
"Echigo! What's going on with Echigo now?!"
"Huh? There, the remnants of the Shinigata family and the Uesugi family are causing disturbances in various places, and Mr. Shibata is leading the family to quell the repression."... me too, but Shibata-sama can sense something stinky. Hurry, I'm on my way to you. "
"... I knew it!"... okay? Don't be so impatient.... Sage-sama's called in the army. They're headed straight for Echizen. I decided it was a rebellion. "
"Hm, the conspiracy!?"
Morning opened his eyes to the words of the lotus. It was very unbelievable, but even if I questioned the lotus here, it would not solve anything...... "Morning face felt like I wanted to be questioned."
Looking at it, Lotus continued her conversation.
"I will go to Maeda-sama from now on, but let's go with Morning Face." We need to talk about Echigo. "
"... All right, let's get going."
The two nodded vigorously. Both of them pulled out the reins at the same time and set off for Echizen.
The next day, the two of them headed for Kitanojo Castle, the castle of the Toshi family, but they immediately stopped their feet. The reason for this was that Toshiya had already left for Kaga and joined the Maeda army on the way.
There, the two of them learn the facts of the shock.
[Here is the will of Oda Onagari Nobuo. Along with Nobutaka Oda, the five of Katsuya Shibata, Nagahide Nagahide, Kazuyuki Takigawa, and Hideyoshi Hashiba puppeteered the fact that the three mages, the young master, could not perform the government, and manipulated the Oda family to make it convenient for the five. This is precisely what makes it a conspiracy. I truly love the Oda family. Gather them here and now. We will save you!!]
Morning face trembles at what is written there. If you turn your gaze to the fearsome family, he said that the sole was sent to me and definitely sent to the others. And because of that, Cheng Zheng's movements were detected first.
"I want you to tell the Third Master." Perhaps my father and I will not stand a chance in the final battle. Someone who set it up. Please be careful..... "
"... what about Maeda-sama?"
"I'm going to stop the fool.... this is something I can only do."
............
The two of them could not say anything to the powerless laughing family. Tears come from regretting how this happened and why allies have to fight each other.
I left the formation and headed for Azuchi Castle. The two of them vowed firmly to slap the coward behind them.
Nobuo defeated Nobutaka, and even kicked out the four elders to take control of the Oda family. Behind it, the master of this painting had a thin, distorted smile.
Ah, how beautiful it is.
Officers and guards laugh like crazy while watching the fire that covers the entire mansion.
Kuninoura, May 9, 1912.
This was the beginning of everything.
