Chapter 121

Inside of Sawaya a pleasant sound In contrast to oku Era are co Sawaya up all around the castle clearly and are probably thinking “an attack under cover of night will be hard like this” Or theyfrom the fire The coldness of Januarythe wind

“At dawn, the soldiers amassed at Odani Castle should be fully equipped and ready to come and reinforce us”

As I spoke to the 1200 soldiers protecting Sawayaruel condimented alnut My aim is to ensure that the protectors of Sawayama Castle warht, I passed by every single one of the soldiers holding a plate

“Don’t think of this as your eternal resting place Just as I have married a woman of the Oda family, there are surely those of you ife and children Even those without a ill still have fathers and , probably all of you ca those who support you”

Walking slowly between the soldiers I continued speaking

“I won’t tell you to win to for you No s at you, noto this world”

I could see the unrest a the soldiers And it’s not just theenerals as well

No matter what “one must attain victory,” this is as noroku Era And in order to win, even if the men have “I want to live” in their mind, most of them are forced to choose the path “my only option is to die”

However, they are now being told by me, ould normally force them into a “there is no choice but to die” path, not only that “they don’t have to win” but to top it off they are being told “not to die” There is no way they wouldn’t get restless

“You lot come with me”

I faced the soldiers while saying that

“We, the people of Azai ether and continue on tomorrow We must live not for today, but for tomorrow’s sake In order to create a better to If we don’t, there would be noIf we don’t, ould lose the reason… ere born into this world”

No le one of their faces were impressed and filled to the bri pretty natural

Being inforreat force of thirty-two thousanddefended by a ht that “this is the end”

In the middle of all that, the head of the Azai family was able to turn the eneet inside Sawayaether” instead of telling the like that cannot be oku Era coupled with the difference in position

No matter the period, country or area, the nameless soldiers didn’t decide to die for “the sake of the country” That is nothing more than a facade The soldiers died a noble death for the sake of those they love or fighting for the superiors they ad that “it’s okay to put my

life on the line for this…”

“First of all, eat”

While sitting between Naotsune and the rest of the ruel in a way that every warrior could see it

“Eat, save soain Tomorrow could be painful but the day after our situation will surely change for the better”

After saying that, I began sipping the rice gruel followed by Naotsune and Kazumasa, i their her than the clouds, but we are currently around the sa theet chilled to the bone in this harsh climate they had no choice but to warm up their bodies from the inside

Eating is so cold and unappetizing, they beco warm and delicious, they beco this Sengoku Era, for the soldiers, this rice gruel seasoned alnut was indeed a “feast” With time the voices of the soldiers becaan On every single face was a sine that this was the view of people being surrounded by a great army twenty time its size

I waited for the appropriate chance and took Naotsune and Kazumasa away from that place and headed towards the inner citadel Sawayama Castle is a mountain castle, to reach the inner citadel one must walk his way up

“Nevertheless, I was surprised”

Kazu Naotsune and me

“Because when Nagaates, horses without riders followed you I, Kazumasa, doubted my very own eyes”

“Yeah…”

I decided to agree for now A horse that has lost its “Master,” thereleased fro considered as “impossible” after all

“Further ridden on by Azai fah their riders had died, they ended up following us It is truly strange”

Naotsune lets out a sigh At the battle earlier six members of the Azai family’s cavalry lost their lives However, the horses that ended up following us were ten in total Clearly, the numbers didn’t add up

“Maybe it’s because of Taishakutsukige After that horse let out its cry, the horses approached us”

“Ooooh…”

Naotsune said so with a face filled with interest

“On the north side of Lake Biwa under the influence of the Azai fa in the northern part of the lake, Taishakutsukige was Sukemasa-sama’s beloved horse It could be that this horse is special…”

“No, I think it could be so unexpectedly more simple”

The horses followingin ave them my conclusion
