Samurai War (Kyux & namelesshero)

[Kyux]

Tsuneo glanced at him and dodged his attack by bringing his sword against Muneyoshi's."I'm going to kill the emperor Muneyoshi-san, you won't be hunted! You will be even more honored than now and will have the free will to choose whatever you want to do." He said and glanced at him."Please, stop it and give in. " he spoke to him and looked at him sincerely."I don't forget my owes, and to you, I owe a favour, please, count this one as it." He said and frowned.

[namelesshero]

The sound of their clashing swords grew faint on Muneyoshi's ears. His vision blurred. The wound he received before had weakened his body.

"Killing the Emperor...hah..." he spitted on the ground. His saliva was mixed with blood. "...Good luck. Don't you dare die...we still have a duel to settle..." he grinned before falling off his horse, landing on the ground with a soft thud. Death didn't scrape him yet, but his weary body give in to the temptation of sleep.

At the same moment, victorious roar splitted the earth, echoing in the entire field. The remaining enemies were all slain or captured; a glorious victory for Matsudate's side.

Motoyasu rode his horse toward Tsuneo. He saw Muneyoshi laying on the ground near him. Alive, but barely. "Well, it seemed that you've taken care of the leader. We'll take him," he ordered his men to capture the Toyomura Clan's head. They quickly brought him to the backline, ready for medical attention.

"I don't know if I should say it, but I heed your words, Tsuneo-dono. We've captured Toyomura family alive," he smiled his usual sly smile. "You better succeed on killing the Emperor to pay me back for that."

[Kyux]

Tsuneo sighed when Muneyoshi fell. He watched as Matsutade came closer to him."I will not disappoint you, please, make sure that his wound is taken care of, and that his family is alright. Thanks a lot." He said."I'll head forward" He said and took a breathe, holding his sword in a position ready to defend him if any enemy would attack, and then his horse started galloping forward at his command.

[namelesshero]

"You don't need to go for now, Tsuneo-dono. My men will take care of the scouting. For the night, we shall rest in Toyomura's hometown," Motoyasu chuckled. "We can't march into the capital in the dead of night. After all, the defects from Kuukai had joined the Emperor since two years ago. We can't move without taking them into account."

He motioned toward his subordinate to tell his decision to Kuro. "I know you want to finish this as fast as you can, but remember that it's not just about you. I, my people, and my allies are risking their lives as well. That Kurozuka daughter, too..." he smirked, this time a teasing smile, "she won't be happy to see you as a corpse, now will she?"

Having said that, he paced his horse forward, leading the troops a little further toward the city of Tosaka. On the center was Toyomura Clan's castle. Motoyasu had planned to stay the night there.

[Kyux]

Tsuneo sighed and bit on his lowerlip when Motoyasu came gy. HYe was right, and selfish. He sighed and nodded."Alright, agreed. "he said calmly and looked at him. He then glanced at Kuro and motioned with his head for him to follow.
Kuro nodded and sighed, tired from the whole story, he followed the Samurai.

Tsuneo rode close to Motoyasu and sighed."Do you have any idea if Tsubaki is there? "he asked and glanced at him.

[namelesshero]

Motoyasu flashed a teasing smile. "Why'd you asked? Is she the only thing you could think of besides killing the Emperor?" his hand gestured something in the line of hopeless man. "She might be, or she might not be. I've ordered the Kuukai Clan to scout the area. When they're working, even I don't know where they are at the moment."

"They'll show up at the meeting, though. At least, Tengu-dono will," he added quickly. "Perhaps his daughter would as well. Perhaps."

[Kyux]

Tsuneo sighed and looked at him. He bit on his lowerlip and was slightly disappointed of himself. How come he was still thinking of her when he had suchan important task to finish."Alright, i understand. "he said calmly and looked at Motoyasu, the man was clearly enjoying this way too much. He sighed and glanced at him."But we're leaving tommorow with dawn, right?" He asked and kept his horse next to the man.

[namelesshero]

"We'll hold a war planning in the dawn. We're goin to determine our next step," Motoyasu pointed toward the now-visible castle. "For now, rest, Tsuneo-dono."

[can i fast forward until morning?]

[Kyux]

(sure)

Tsuneo sighed and nodded. He thought he didn't need to rest but he did. His body was tired from all the fights at the current day, and his mind was troubeled with a lot of things; How was Tsubaki doing, what will be with Muneyoshio, and finally, will he manage to beat the emperor?

[namelesshero]

Night passed without much happened. By now, the news of Toyomura's fall must've reached the Emperor's ears. They couldn't expect to fight unsuspecting enemies. The next battle would be the grand finale.

--- As morning came

Motoyasu gathered his generals in Toyomura castle's war room. He'd called for the Prince, as well as Tsuneo, to join as well. They're waiting for them as of now. It was required that the Prince agreed with their next plan.
