Sakon was evidently not impressed by Haji's display. So it seemed he was one who'd been given power by the gods, Sakon was as well. The Tsutsui officer smiled, pointing his sword toward the Morei-Amakusa army, shouting "Fire!"

The wind would pick up fiercely, pushing most of the Morei-Amakusa men back. At that exact moment, Sakon's men released their fire arrows at the army. If successful, they would strike grass and hay in the area and ignite it, taking the whole army in fire. The wind around them would begin to circle their area, keeping the fire restricted solely to them.

The archers began to nock more fire arrows, and the men at the front armed themselves with pikes, spears, and halberds in defense. Sakon held his swords in front of him, awaiting Haji's move.

As Kyojin and Ryuusei attacked, so too did the mounted men! They charged, though the two were able to take out two horsemen with no problems, Kyojin's Kanabo crushing a man's entire ribcage in one swing. There were still five men left, two focused on Kyojin, two on the boar, and one on Ryuusei.

The two men focused on Kyojin struck at his legs, aiming to stab through his kneecaps. The two striking the boar aimed to impale its side, and the one striking Ryuusei threw two daggers at his waist.

"This boar is a monster! Look at it, it's disgusting!"

Maki's guan dao would slice through the first enemies' armor as though they were coated in butter (Gross), slaying the men relatively quickly! The rest of the outside patrols turned their eyes to him, 21 opting to charge at him while one ran into the castle!

Maki would quickly be surrounded by the 21 guards, and one would run at him from behind, looking to ram his spear through the man's spine!

Following the patrol for somewhere around thirty minutes, Maki would find they stopped at a large home, almost the size of a small castle. There, they met up with another patrol, and reversed their route.

The place was two stories tall, with twenty-five men actively patrolling the outside. They were all decked in great, black armor, and each wielded a spear. As for what lay inside, there was no way of knowing.

Mana would successfully impale a bandit's leg, ripping through him and getting out of the crowd. She was able to counter-kill about three men, having taken down four of them in total, but two would strike the cross-spear at the joint of the center blade, applying enough pressure to keep her from effectively maneuvering. One of the other four would throw a dagger for her forehead, while another charged in from her right side to impale her ribs.

Total Bandit Losses: Total Bandit Losses: 14 from Mana, 10 from Azai = 24
Total Azai Losses: 0

Maki would be able to trail the men for a while, until it seemed patrols switched up! The group he was following would meet up with another at a crossroads, and they would both turn around and head back where they came from!

Sakon would shake his head at Haji's demand. Lord Junsho was deceased, Lord Junkei was but a child, and the stand-in was blind. There was little he would accomplish from such a meeting, so there was little point in allowing it to happen. Instead, Sakon brandished his dual blades and stared into the eyes of Haji.

"I am afraid I cannot comply."

He left it at that, opting not to give away the situation. His troops, however, all took up defensive positions on their horses. Meanwhile, Sakon stepped off of his.

"If you wish to speak to Lord Junsho, you must go through me."

Shou was able to take the second man down in time, but his exclamation alerted the other three! One through a rod in Shou's direction and it painfully slammed into his spine, taking him to the ground and pulling him out of his camouflage!

"It's him! The Takeda scum!"

The three guards rushed him and began to kick him while he was down, but before they could do much damage, the man in the cell burst the door open and slammed into them, knocking them off his fellow officer!

Haji would march onto Tsutsui castle in Yamato territory with a small army of men with him. At his side would be Amakusa Kazuya, brother of Amakusa Takehiro, meant to provide relief for Haji's forces. Takehiro himself would have shown, were he not currently in battle at Shima. Haji's force of 85 was backed up by 132 Amakusa troops, giving him a combined army of 217 troops.

Outside Tsutsui Castle, the Tsutsui forces would be gathered, refusing to allow Haji entrance into the castle. At their forefront was Shima Sakon, a warrior yet to gain renown, but one who was skilled nonetheless.

"Who are you to come onto our lands with an army?"

While returning into Omi, Mana would happen upon a bandit attack, just outside the Azai-Sasaki Omi border! It seemed a small group of men bearing the Mon of the Azai were ambushed by a large group of bandits, and as it stood, they had very little chance of winning. Numbers were not on their side, not at all.

A runner would pass by Mana, heading down the road and presumably toward the Azai main camp, where he would seek reinforcements. Meanwhile, Naoyori and his small group of men were doing what they could to hold off the bandits!

The battlefield was a small one, mainly a road with thick brush. The Azai soldiers were on the road, with bandits on either side charging in. The Azai were surrounded and outnumbered.

Keisuke would find his attack would not be in range of the Amakusa forces, given he had to jump far to get away from Maki's fire spit! Naotora's rock attack would, however, take a few men down, but not out for the count. None of the Oda-Amakusa forces were really even injured yet!

Toshiie, Gabriella, Ryunosuke, and the two small armies would pick off even more men, slaying all of the sick (minus Jina) and then taking out an additional six hundred Imagawa soldiers! It was a good thing they had all these numbers!

The Supply Depot was overrun by Toshiie's forces, meaning so far, this group was doing good! They only needed to slaw the remaining Imagawa troops and finish off their objective!
