'I will! I heard that Turtle Mountain Castle has fallen!
His men are perplexed by the news, which arrives while preparations for the siege are underway. Or maybe even me. Did Oda and Kitabatake start fighting just before the victory?
The Seki of Kameyama Castle must have been a vassal to Kitabatake. If that was dropped by Oda, did Oda betray Kitabatake? How is that possible? What good is it to Oda?
I ordered him to find out the details at once.
Lord, I don't think Oda and Kitabatake would have such a fight.
I know.
If Oda and Kitabatake are fighting each other, there may be a way to live in Nagano. However, the vassals do not have such a naive outlook. It could be said that Kitabatake gave Seki to Oda.
There were rumors that Kitabatake and Seki did not get along very well.
I assure you! Oda's side, they have landed from Anozu. The movement of Kitabatake has not changed!
The news came quickly. It should be seen that Oda and Kitabatake will not fight each other after all. Is the coastline not good enough? The number of soldiers and ships are too different.
A month is all that is needed. It is said that Seki's castle fell in less than a night. Kameyama Castle and our castle are different, but we would look better if we could contain the castle even slightly. In a field battle, it could be said to be a share of the pain.
I even allowed my clansmen and vassals to surrender. In this war, the time to retreat is everything. If either side was unable to retreat, the Nagano family would be finished.
This is the way of the world. It is said that Ise has never been unified since before I was born. But already North Ise was no longer ruled by Rokkaku and Oda.
It might be different if you could at least establish a relationship with Oda before Kitabatake.

"You didn't allow the castle of Turtle Mountain to fall for a day. It is as they say, isn't it?
The news that attacked in Nagano territory was that the castle of Kameyama had fallen. Everyone knew that Seki was not an enemy of Oda, but it was still surprisingly fast.
I set out for Nagano Castle, but I couldn't ignore the other castles on the way. I'm going to Nagano Castle, but I can't ignore the castles on the way there.
If only it were possible, Kitabatake would surrender all of his castles, but that's not possible. I saw the battle of Sekigahara and I know that. There were no golden cannons like Oda's and only a few guns. He could not claim to have won the battle, as he had done in the past.
I just gave Nagano, who understood that they could not win, a chance to show their bravery.
This is the reason why my main force is heading for Nagano Castle, leaving the soldiers at each castle in Nagano territory. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to expect when you arrive at the site.
"Lord ......, what's that?
Was it called "Ger"? It's a tent Oda uses for camping.
The vassals are looking indifferent to Oda's men who have arrived ahead of them and have finished preparing for the camp. A house of cloth called "ger". Those who have never seen many of them must be surprised to see them all lined up in a row.
Oda's men are very mature, aren't they?
Many of our troops and others would have immediately gone to raid the neighboring villages. However, Oda would not allow such a thing. However, Oda does not allow such a thing, because he is quiet when we all prepare for camp and meal.
You can't believe it, but you can't help but sigh that many of your family members are just as ignorant of the ways of the world as Seki.
You can't help yourself.
Although I was of higher rank than him, he served as a reinforcement, and I visited Oda's camp. And I also wanted to show Oda's camp and its soldiers to my vassals.
It was warm inside Owari-ke-dono's gel. The retainers who brought you here were surprised at the warmth and looked at the structure inside with interest. The things inside are different. It's a stool like seat, but with a backrest. There is a large dining table, as you can see in a bakery.
You are not defeated, but you haven't won. War is a difficult thing. It's not like Oda.
It's the same here. It's the Kuon family that's winning. Not me. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm having a hard time learning.
The most important one is Owari-sukedono, but it seems that he cannot be Oda's son and heir of Oda who has won many battles in a row. Are you a little nervous? You could say it's humble, but you can talk about your inadequacies to someone else's family. It's not easy to do. Even though I am very close to them. The Kitabatake family is here, too.
It is said that they were once called "tsukusuke", but they are not such people.
Prime Minister, it has been a long time.
''Oh, Lord Haru and Lord Xia. You lost your family in less than two days. Splendid. Thanks to you, I too have been reminded of my disappointment.
While I was talking with Owari-suke-dono for a while, Haru-dono and Natsu-dono of the Kuon family arrived. You can see that they were surprised. It's not so much a girl, but a young woman. They must have been surprised.
The Nagano region was waiting for a battle and the Seki region was planning to attack the Nagano region, but it's different. Besides, the number of troops that can be mobilized must be more than twice as much different. Moreover, Nagano, which is a mountain castle, is not a simple matter.
It's a little flattering, but I mean it. There is no battle that is easy when you think you can win. Even so, the wife of Master Uchihoske is as perceptive as ever, and I wish that some of my vassals had a few more of this caliber.
I wish my vassals had someone like her.
Side:A vassal of the Kitabatake family
I think she's no different from any other woman except for the color of her hair. You've been able to get rid of Seki in less than two days.
In fact, the name of Uchishousuke-dono's wife is well known in Kuon, and some of his vassals, including Hachiro of Tadayoshi and Keijiro of Benkei, are also well known. It is said that Takigawa is from Koga, but I never heard of him before he was in the service.
I'd like to ask how they got so many people together.
I've never heard of them before. Isn't this better than staying in a temple where a drafty wind blows in? If we can prepare something to protect ourselves from the wind and rain, we can choose where to pitch our camp. It's better than being in the hands of someone you don't know what to trust in enemy territory.
I've heard of golden cannons and barbarian ships as terrifying, but this gel is also terrifying enough. I can understand why Gosho-sama is avoiding a conflict with Oda.
"Owari-sama, do you sell this gel?
I thought that I couldn't buy some for my own use, but I thought that I could at least buy some for the use of Gosho-sama and myself, so I asked the question with shame before I returned after my talk with Gosho.
I begrudgingly asked him before returning for the first time. It's a good idea to have a few of these on hand. Spring, how do you like it?
'I'll have to ask the master of the house if he's going to sell it. But if you need it, you can lend it to me during this war. If it's a spare, I'll take it right away and bring the rest from Kanie.
I thought Gosho would scold me for being ashamed of myself for asking him to sell something in a place like this, but that was not the case, as he looked at me with interest.
He looked at me with interest. The soldiers of Kitabatake will have a hard time camping out for days against a siege. Let's get the missing pieces for them right away.
Haru-dono and Owari-suke-dono of the Kuon family were simply told that they would lend it to us.
''I'm sorry.''
When I was surprised by this, Gosho bowed to Owari-sama and Haru-dono.
The Kitabatake family members, including myself, were surprised by the incident and froze in place. The head of the Kitabatake family, who has a certain status, bowed to a low-ranking member of another family in front of his vassals.
It's all about winning the war. We can't go home if we are defeated.
Owari-suke-dono looked at him in silence, but instead, Haru-dono replied with a slight smile on his face. It's not a loan or alms. It's to win. If you say so, it will make you look good, Your Highness.
Yes, it is very clear that a member of the Kuon family has risen to prominence. Even though he was born outside of Japan, he understands what we are up to.
There are many things to learn. It's just as Gosho says. I wonder how much we can learn from Oda in this war.
