"Father, the Dragon Temple will not attack you."
That sounds like a bad tone.
"Right."
"What do you do?
"Come on, what's going on..."
When I answered, Sanro right guard, Sun Rokuro gave me a confused look.
I don't know, father's, uncle's authority... There are advisors, military, and military personnel around. Everyone is looking at me and Sanro right guard and Sun Rokuro with such expressions as intrigue. Trouble is, why don't you enjoy the family conversation of the Decaying Wood family just because it's less entertaining.
"Well, this is where we wait."
"Are you waiting?
"Wait. Attacking is not the only battle. Waiting is also a battle. It's in your favor to wait."
Sanro right guard and Sun Rokuro nodded. Not the most convincing look. “Really?", "That's okay." Like that. Because you're young, you attack enemies, you defeat them, you admire such a glorious battle. I'd love to make it easier. Is it grandpa?
"Sometimes it is advantageous to move, sometimes it is advantageous not to move. You have to think about it there. If the condition continues, you will be attacked and captured by the Ten Guards before fattening. Those in hiding cannot stand the loss of territory. Always make a scene. That's all we need to hide and seek. Wait in no hurry."
"Yes."
The two replied. Now I think I'm convinced.
Sanro's right guard has spoken well lately. I thought it was silent, but it doesn't always seem so. He's always around, so it's easy to talk to him. I always work in Yadan Castle surrounded by ministers. He seemed reluctant because of it. I'm not a very good father. I was somewhat conscious, but I recognized it again. I'm a little depressed.
When the moon changed and in February, the Second Army of Decaying Wood calmed down after the building and joined the soldiers of southern Kyushu and Shikoku to increase their strength to 70,000. The hiding of the Dragon Temple was pushed into a fat country. And Tsukagakawa, in this era, attacked Ota Castle across a river called Tsukijiro. Perhaps the first army led by the Ten Guards has also begun to move. They will be advancing soldiers from Tsukima to Fat Prefecture. Extremely well.
But I have a bad feeling. I just have a bad feeling about it. In a nutshell, that's the situation. Dragon Temple's lair came before me with 40,000 soldiers as I crossed the river. I guess he was waiting for me to cross the river. It's fast, I'm packing the distance in no time. The aim is one of my necks, the way a soldier moves like that. I wanted to go back to Omi.
No, I knew if I attacked Ota Castle, the hideout would come out. Ota Castle is close to Saga Castle, the home of the Ryuji family. The distance is about five kilometers. Hidden is bound to come out. Move the Ten Guards by pulling away the Hidden. If the Ten Guards attack Prefattening, the Hideout will be driven, that's what I thought. The prospectus hit me hard enough.
The Decaying Trees and the Dragon Built Temple are at a distance of about two kilometers to set up a formation and stare at each other. This one lays a formation about halfway between Ohta Castle and the Dobsh River, but from Ohta Castle, there will be some rear formation. Three thousand soldiers were put into Ota Castle. The commander is Mansuke Fujie. If you try to attack my formation, you will be slammed from the side of Ota Castle or blocked from the rear. It's easy to do that with Mansuke.
When Hideout strikes me, Oda Castle should be one point. And to the right is the Tobushi River. It's not that big of a river, and it's this time of year, so there's never much water. But he thinks he'll play a role in hesitating to make a detour. In other words, the enemy comes from the front. It's easy to predict movement. For that matter, hiding must be hard, hard, hard to fight.
I really don't want to fight. In this situation, concealment will come under attack. That's what I think, but I'm not attacking the hideout. It's been like this for five days. Nothing falls to my heart. And what's not funny is that I haven't heard anything from the people who promised to respond. Shouxin Hot Island Toyomae, Shouxin Shimo Shoushin, Shouxin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin Shoushin, Shoushin Taku Nagato... Are the surveillance too tight or have you stopped turning over... Calm down. The more time passes, the more favorable this one will be. Waiting without panic is also a battle. That's what I'm telling you...

"Fallen? You're lying, aren't you?
"No, it's true."
Naoko Chigaji Hanzo answered my question by shaking his head to the side.
"What time is it?
It was four days ago.
"Four days ago..."
Unexpectedly voiced. Hanzo nods. Did you fall the day after you laid the formation... Ryuzukuji Yamashiro Shorunxin has fallen...... I was hoping to pay for it, but this is serious news.
"He said he suffered complaining of chest pain shortly after he thought it was going to be a showdown. I had it for a little while, but the pain was quite a bit."
Chest pain, pain, a little time? Probably angina. I have heard that I feel more terrified than in pain.
"... Who told you that?
"How long have you been in Nagato?"
Shogun Nagato's wife is the daughter of Sunjiro Hot Island, who was killed. I am anxious about the future because of that. And for a long time it is also a family of Dragon Built Temples. He's a man beside a hermit. There are no problems as a source. All we have to do is hope he hasn't lied.
"He said he stopped today's battle around him and accepted Shouxi Yamashiro himself. The next day, again in the seat of the military council, Yamashiro Shogun argued with those who insisted on a showdown and cared about Yamashiro Shogun's body, showing fierce frustration? He vomited in front of everyone."
Vomiting or this guy is one of the symptoms of angina. There was such a scene in the TV drama I used to see. Or a precursor to myocardial infarction.
Fallen is no longer a force in the body. Probably put him to sleep sloppily after he threw up. How the circle saw it...... Angina or myocardial infarction? Myocardial infarction will not help in this age. Even angina is over as a warlord. If you are unscrupulous, you will progress to myocardial infarction and die.
"And after that?
"Yamashitaki is taking a break."
"Why hasn't it paid off before?
Hanzo was frightened. Was your voice harsh?
"The heavy ministers of the Dragon Temple take a heavy look at this situation. You think the formation has been given strict vigilance? Because of this, I have not been able to easily reward you, Mr. Nagato."
"I see."
It's not impossible. It would be outrageous if the general's illness spread. It is only natural to be vigilant. There is nothing suspicious about how long it has been reported. Don't feel good to believe it.
"How's Iga? Can you confirm that?
Hanzo shook his head to the side when he inquired.
"It's difficult inside. Our hands can sneak into the formation, but deep down..."
It's hard.
"Yes."
So you can't get confirmation from here? Guided? Is that possible?
"Any news from anyone but how long?
"Not yet. You're probably holding back because you're on strict alert."
"Right."
It's not funny. Just how long the information lasts means it can be false. But the symptoms of the disease are obviously angina, myocardial infarction. Nothing suspicious...
"Grand Hall"
Hanzo.
"The heavy ministers of the Dragon Temple are secretly gathered to consider good aftermath measures."
……
"Nagato-sensei has joined us in that, but he has also come up with the opinion that we should not surrender."
"... wasn't slashed?
"What?"
Hanzo has a surprise look.
"He who spoke of surrender. Didn't they slaughter you?
"No, it wasn't slashed"
There was a surrender theory. It hasn't been slashed. If that were true, the ministers would have admitted whether or not they chose the option of surrender. It is impossible if the hiding of the Dragon Built Temple, which spits on the main theory of war, is alive and well. The dominance of hiding clearly declined. Heavy ministers take a heavy look at the disease of hiding.
"How do you do?
Hanzo stared at me.
"... keep your eyes peeled away from the formation of the Dragon Temple"
"How long have you suspected?
"Maybe it's the truth. But I don't want to be alarmed."
Hanzo nodded. There is nothing suspicious about the report. It's possible enough. But I can't take the back. I get really anxious. Hanzo doesn't deny my suspicions either. Maybe he suspects as much as I do. I guess that's why I hoped to pay for it.
"Fortunately, there is no inconvenience in waiting. If the reward for how long is true, there will be disturbances in the Dragon Temple. The more time passes, the greater the disturbance will be. That should make it easier to win."
"To all of you?
Hanzo is staring at me.
"Unrewardable. I don't want to alarm you."
Hanzo went down when he was in awe. I would have stopped it if I said I could reward you. You must have been angry that you were caught off guard. Tough world.
If the news is true, Ryukyuji's hiding is angina. I have heard that hiding in recent years has been overwhelmed by alcohol colour. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity. It's not strange to have angina. It's not just angina, there are other possibilities. Before, the army, and before fattening, the Ten Guards are attacking. Fight and win, no. You have to fight a difficult battle to get my neck. Can the hidden body withstand in this situation? It looks unbearable at the moment...... The more stress it takes, the more the heart of hiding is eroded. Let's wait, wait. Wait without alarm.
Late February, 2015, Ota Castle, Lobby Village, Saga County, Fertile Prefecture
"Enemy from the front, we are attacking hard. Allies, struggle. The enemy generals appear to be Narimatsu Yue Shou, Baiwu Shima Shou, and Eriguchi Fujimori! Soldier, about 8,000!
“Ooh” was raised to the report of the usage. They are said to be the Four Heavenly Kings of Nagae Shogunate, Babu Shima Shogunate, Fujimori Eriguchi, and Ryuzukuji Temple. The men attacked me. Night assault with this surprise. The allies are being pushed. I can hear you crying out here. The air is so tight inside the main unit that it hurts.
"That's hard work. Any requests for reinforcements?
"I don't have one at the moment. Together, Tazawa Takeshi, Sakai Left Gatekeeper, Goto Toki Shoguno, Okubo Shinjiro, Chisu Kabuki, we are preventing enemy offenses."
My father nodded. It's okay, my allies are stopping.
Dragon Temple Squad has launched a night raid. Iga people's reward spared me from getting stunned, but my allies are at a disadvantage.
"How's Oda Castle?
"The enemy has left about 5,000 suppressed soldiers. That's why I can't move on Ota Castle's side."
My father nodded.
"You're not attacking Ota Castle."
"No"
"Okay. You may step back."
Father is no different than ever. I am calm even though my allies are at a disadvantage. He is holding the military fan in his right hand and gently tapping his left hand palm.
"We can't attack Ota Castle... I guess that means I don't want to expand the front. But from the front, Narimatsu, Babu and Eriguchi, Hmm, don't like it."
My father was flattered.
"Maori, put your use on the right horsehead. There is a threat that the enemy will come more than the Tobushi River, trying to be ready immediately. I will allow you to cross the river if necessary. Hurry!"
A messenger ran out on your father's life.
"Do you think the enemy will come over the Dobsch River?
When his grandfather Kaga Hirai inquired, his father shook his head beside him.
"I don't know. But, uncle. Three of the Four Heavenly Kings attacked from the front. If we're going to attack this place, Ota Castle should be out of the way. Yet Ryuzukuji is not about to attack. Isn't that a funny story?
Everyone nodded at your father's words.
"If the hideout attacks Oda Castle, I'll send reinforcements, too. In that case, the concealment will send out more soldiers. In other words, they will be sent to Ota Castle. Didn't hiding avoid that?
"Is it because of a detour attack from the Dobsch River?
My father nodded when Gengoro Maida asked.
"Mm-hmm. It's convincing to think so. I think the three Four Heavenly Kings attacked us from the front in order to attract this eye. The goal of the concealment is to let a separate unit cross the Dobushi River, and poke this side of the river, or behind it, or something like that."
I heard "I see" on the other side. “I do”.
"The soldier in hiding is 40,000. Five thousand for the suppression of Ota Castle, eight thousand from the front. The rest is 27,000. We also need soldiers to chase. Considering that, I can't give 20,000 to a separate task force. Fifteen thousand. Then let's leave it to Maori."
I see. You know what? Lord Sun Rokuro is also nodding frequently. Father is amazing. I've never seen anything better at battle. I don't know anything about being at Yadan Castle.
"What are the enemies of Ota Castle?
Heavy Zao inquired.
"One Article, let the Long Sect attack you. Let's attack the Narimatsu after we get rid of them. It should be easy to crush. Well, concealment will put up some hindsight. Give me a sign!
A twitch occurred and a mission ran out on Father's life.
"Hide, work small"
My father laughed. But it's not every mild grin. Cold, contemptuous grin.
"Father, what is a petty worker?
My father saw me. Remains with a cold grin. Hilarious. For the first time, I thought I was afraid of my father.
"Hanzo of Iga, I've brought you a report that the cover-up has fallen."
"No way!"
It's not just me, everyone says, "No way."
"We haven't heard, have we?
When Soichi inquired, his father raised his voice and laughed.
"I couldn't get certainty. So I couldn't reward you. Hanzo probably thought the same thing. I wanted to pay."
……
"Apparently it was a ploy to keep this one alert. Well done, but you're missing one now."
My father got that grin again. Cold grin...... My father despises Ryuzukuji Yamagata. I thought you despised me for thinking I'd get caught up in such a small worker.
"Lord Sun Rokuro, Sanro right guard, have you studied?
"Yes."
I answered with a voice. Father snorts.
"This is how we deceive each other. It's better to cheat well than win. Remember that."
"Yes."
When I answered, my father nodded. He was a father with all manner of gentle grins.
