Hey guys! Thanks for taking the time to read the story! I hope you enjoy! Okay! Here it goes!
It was the dull day if not a relaxed day for the soldiers of Oda. If anything, they were given a break from their duties and conquering right now, so their general, Kubo Masutaro, a middle-aged man who is given the order to hold down of the strongholds as well getting the aid of their special guests, Demons of Oda. He barely saw one of them on the battlefield until now. The one he did know about was Kouki, Seon Tae Kouki, a girl whose weapon is a bar mace. She delivers devastating blows, smashing heads, sending people flying into the air and made the craters on the earth giving her a title, The Lighting Beast. He doesn't know where the lighting part comes from but he figures that it must be her affinity that she was born with. At first, he thought the girl might look like beast uncles but he was surprised by her appearance and her stoic expression. She look like someone's daughter. He had no quarrels giving orders to her as she follows suit without a word.
Of course, there was friendly fire from her shockwaves as it is unavoidable but it gives results in taking over territory. It was good enough for him not to worry about. Maybe that's where the Beast part comes in. Though he heard rumors surrounding her. Some said she doesn't belong to a clan and was a peasant before becoming a warrior. He wondered where Lord Oda picks up such a child.
Now the second 'demon' gave him chills down the spine. It was Da Naga 'Goa' Kage. If anything, he looks closer to a demon than Kouki. He was taken back by the mask he wears. It looks like porcelain just as his white attire with black lines from the eyes down to the edges of the mask. Along with those inhuman yellow eyes of his, they look serpentine making him look a snake with a human body. Nobody knows what is his true face behind his mask but he doesn't want to entertain the thought. Usually, the masked assassin does not mean any harm unless given a reason to.
Plus, he is quite talkative when he goes to war meeting when talking with other generals of low-rank like himself. But not around, Oda and his retainers especially Mitsuhide. As for the rumors around him, it is said that his powers came, if not given birth from the monster, Yamata-no-Orochi or a Naga. His power was likened to the darkness as he is rumored that he can slip through the enemy lines and kills their generals in their tents from the shadows with his katana. Kami, there is a mention that the people he had slain have been spirited away making him more unnerved.
Sometimes, he acts without orders unlike Kouki as he prefers things by his own. Most often of times, it does goes his way as his conduct on the battlefield are easy victories when the generals have been dealt with. Even though Kage is friendly with him, by no means he would let down his guard around him. Luckily today, Kage didn't bother him today as he is somewhere…..somewhere in the trees relaxing. Kubo Masutaro let out a sigh as he tries to enjoy the day as possible. That is until…..
"Lord Kubo! There's been some activity from the north!" A soldier ran over and bows while kneeling to him.
"Ha? What is it?" Just when he's relaxing!
"Our scouts reported that the Date Army has been marching towards here!" Now Kubo grits his teeth! The Date clan! He heard it was led by an ambitious brat. Does not he know he's walking into a stronghold? As if he allows him to claim it! "Tch! Prepare the arquebus forces then!" Just some small clan, nothing to deal with!
"Sir! There's another activity! From the northwest!" Another soldier came over. Kubo blinks, the Date forms another group? How big is their army?
"It's the Takeda! They're also coming here as well. It appears they form an alliance!" Kubo almost spits his sake. This is unheard of! Are they planning to take them on Oda? "What's the number of their army?" He sees his soldiers fidget as if they seem like they're struggling to give an answer of total estimation. "I-it's massive, sir. Combined with Date's two hundred men and Takeda's seven hundred men, it's 900 men, sir. " Kubo widened his eyes. "Prepare the soldiers! Also! Get Kage and Kouki! Now!"
This is bad! They are outnumbered by them as their number is just 200 hundred, hell! The number could decreases since he let most soldiers go about their day off! This is bad!
What else is next?!
