On the castle tower of Kamo Castle, Shibuya Shinkiyo and Shibuya Shinjing stared intently at the outside of the city, looking at those strange family tattoos looking at each other.

Suddenly, Shibuya Shinkiyo pointed to one of the flags and said, "Uncle, why does the family think that the family crest on that flag looks familiar?" I always feel like I've seen it somewhere. ”

"Huh..... It's true that the lord said this! Shibuya Shinkyo also said thoughtfully, "But what is certain is that there is definitely no such force on Sado Island, and it is impossible for the power of Echigo, and these family crests are not the power of Echigo Province, but who will it be in this case?" ”

"But in my opinion, in fact, we don't have to worry too much, these people did not directly attack our family, whether they are friends or foes is not known for the time being! What's more, what if this unknown army didn't come to target the family??? At this time, Shibuya Shinkyo added.

"Hmm." Shibuya Makiyoshi nodded thoughtfully, and was about to say something, when suddenly Shibuya Makiyo's eyes lit up, and then eagerly pointed to the banner outside the city and said excitedly, "This family knows which force this is the strength of!" “

"Does the lord remember?" Shibuya Shinjing also hurriedly asked. After all, in this case, you must first figure out which force the sudden appearance of this army in front of you is reaching, and then you can roughly guess whether this force has intentions for the Shibuya family.

"It's not coarse!" Shibuya replied, "Uncle, if you think about the tea that we often eat, maybe you can think of something." ”

"Bubble Tea ???"

"Ahh This family crest is the family crest on the tea jar! In this way, these troops should be the Tsugawa family, the overlord of Dewa??? Shibuya Shinkyo also suddenly realized.

However, problems arose.

"However, the Tsugawa family is far away, why did so many troops suddenly come to Sado Island?" Shibuya Shinkyo then spoke out the doubts in his mind.

Shibuya Makiyoshi also shook his head, and suddenly, Shibuya Makiyo thought of a terrifying possibility, "Could it be that there are other forces on the island that have secretly taken refuge in the Tsugawa family, and these troops are reinforcements from the Tsugawa family?" ”

Just as Shibuya Makiyo was deep in thought, Shibuya Shinjing's voice came from beside him, "My lord, it seems that a messenger from the Tsugawa family has come." ”

........

Ichiro Yamamoto and others led their troops to Sado Island, and then ordered everyone to camp at the foot of Mt. Kumgang in the Kinbei Mountains.

Ichiro Yamamoto didn't rush to order the attack, since he wanted to act, he would do a full set. So Ichiro Yamamoto sent one of his samurai to Kamo Castle to prepare to oppress the Shibuya family in Kamo Castle, and then "explained" the purpose of the Tsugawa family's trip. Of course, it would be better if the Shibuya family surrendered directly under pressure.

Ryotsu Bay is located on a narrow waterway that connects to an inner lake on Sado Island, forming a lagoon similar to Hachiro Lagoon near Dewa Kuniwaki Main Castle.

In addition to the Shibuya family and the Kuchi Honma family on both sides of the lagoon, there is also a wealthy family in the central area of the lagoon - the Kazumi family!

The strength of the Asakami family and the Shibuya family is at the bottom of Sado Island, so in order to resist the oppression of the various divisions of Honma, the Shibuya family and the Osakami family have always stood on the same front.

For this sudden visit of the "uninvited guest", the head of the Akami family, Hidetoshi Akami was also hurriedly climbed up from the belly of the lady of the side room by the retainers. Hidetoshi Akagami, who was still angry, also began to swallow saliva after seeing dozens of warships cruising on the sea not far away.

"It's... This... This..... How so! Where did this ship come from, and when did the family provoke such a powerful enemy??? "Hidetoshi Osakami's first reaction was that he didn't know when he had offended a powerful force, so much so that he actually sent dozens of warships to deal with him!!

What is the concept of thirty warships on Sado Island? As a simple example, the Osakami family also has a naval army, but there are only three small morning boats and 48 people. It is said that it is a group of fishermen, but in fact, they are a group of fishermen who usually go out to sea to fish, and only when there is a fight with other forces on the island will they be temporarily fought as "water army".

In general, there are no real naval forces on Sado Island, and it is a joke like the navy of a certain country in later generations.

Akimi Akami was shocked, his legs couldn't stop trembling, he succeeded to the family governor for more than ten years, and Akashang Hidemin also fought several battles, but the largest number of people was only three or four hundred. However, among the nearly 30 warships, the number of ships is close to half, and there are at least 40 people on one ship, so there are six or seven hundred troops on these ships....... It's almost close to all the ashigaru on the entire Sado Island.

"Father! The detectives of this family just came to report that these warships were cruising in the adjacent waters, and they had no intention of attacking their own family! In addition, a large number of troops were also found near the Shibuya family's territory! It's just that unlike the situation on the family's side, these troops are all very elite ashigaru, and they have already been deployed outside Kamo City.........." Hidetoshi Asakami's eldest son, Hidexing Osakami, said at this time.

"What! Is there still a large number of troops outside Kamo Castle? Hearing Hideki's words, the uneasiness in Hidemin's eyes deepened, "Doesn't this mean that with these on the warship, the enemy army has already numbered thousands??? ”

"Yes! Father, what should the family do now? Akigami asked excitedly.

Hidetoshi Asakami thought for a moment, and then said, "Since the enemy's Ashigaru is on the edge of Kamo Castle, if these forces are really enemies, at least they will attack Kamo Castle first!" ”

"I'm going to go to Kamo City to see what is going on."

"Taro, you immediately ask your mother and Ah Ming to pack up their things, and if the situation is not right, we will immediately escape to the Echichu Shiina family in a small boat!" After speaking, Hidetoshi Asakami set his eyes on the dense warships on the sea outside, and couldn't help but shiver.

Kira Ieyasu, the current Tsugawa family Serita Pavilion garrison, Ashigaru head, was originally a leading samurai of the Taidao team under Yamamoto Ichiro, and later after Yamamoto Ichiro became the lord of Niga Hojo Castle, he was appointed by Yamamoto Ichiro as the Serita Pavilion garrison.

Speaking of which, Kira Ieyasu is also a famous family, born in the Oshu Kira clan. Since his grandfather's generation, he has been in the Osaka and Kasai forces of Mutsu, and he called himself Kamisosuke, and later moved to Senhoku-gun.

Kira Ieyasu's father, Yoshira Tadayasu, was a low-ranking samurai of the Hondo family, and later died in Iwamatsu Castle during the battle between the Hondo family and the Rokugo family. After the death of Kira Tadayasu in battle, the Kira family began to decline. It wasn't until the Tsugawa family suddenly rose that Kira Ieyasu joined the Taidao team. After several years of hard work and struggle, he finally regained his status as a samurai and served as the garrison of Seritakan (equivalent to the castle generation).

Looking at Kamo Castle in front of him, Kira Ieyasu took a deep breath, straightened his posture, and then walked into Kamo Castle with a resolute face.......
