Note: This new haiku poem is centered on Toshiie Maeda, another famous character from the Samurai Warriors series. Alongside Hideyoshi and Ranmaru, he was one of Nobunaga Oda's loyal retainers who served the Demon King during his reign. However, he didn't appear in the first Warriors Orochi storyline before the sequel came out. This game is one of the many titles owned by Koei. It does not belong to me at all.
Within The Inferno
The demon king's troops,
Were caught within a deathtrap,
Devised by the fox.
Surrounded by flames,
One brave vassal volunteered,
To put out the blaze.
The man in question,
Who valued pride and duty,
Leaped into the fire.
Holding his two spears,
And a blade for good measure,
He made his path clear.
Burning with passion,
He rushed like a mad canine,
Going through hurdles.
Thanks to his valor,
Hundreds of brave lives were spared,
From a fiery grave.
Note: The setting of this chapter takes place in Honnoji where Toshiie is given a mission to extinguish the fire attack set up by Zhou Yu and the Orochi Army. If the player helps him succeed, then the battle against the Serpent King's army will become a whole lot easier. Although Toshiie only appeared as a generic officer in the first Warriors Orochi game, he became playable in the sequel after the expansion pack for Samurai Warriors 2 was released by Koei.
