Itaya and Liu Bang, and Tanaka.

"Inside, I made you wait!

"Horizontal Hall!

A man I trust more than anyone showed up with dozens of horseback rides.

Delighted to reunite with each other on horseback.

"I heard the subtleties in Dong An Ping. Where's Lord Mullen?

"I'm tied up and put in a carriage, but it seems safe. The first two are watching over us."

Tianye exhaled a little in time for relief.

"Soldiers only ride horses?

I looked at the soldier Tianye had led and expressed my doubts.

"No, only these thirty cavalry are ahead of us. The infantry is led by Hua Innocent (Kabuji). Five hundred. That's all I was able to get out in a hurry. The East Conquest soldiers are in a hurry, but it's up to you to organize."

Fifty Tananas will be enough for you. The problem is......

"Can the infantry make it?

Peng Yue shares my concerns.

With five hundred and fifty more, the march speed will fall.

"If you can't join the infantry, you may chase them by the ink, but we'll be close to their position."

It's better to think that Tananada and the others are holding back the area as well as the immediate ink.

If you get too close, there could be more enemy soldiers.

Plus an infantryman who is forced and fatigued might be able to fight properly.

There are many anxiety elements, and there is no proposal to dispel them.

Meng walks out in such silence.

"Horse-riding assault in ambush, helping Meng Lin in confusion"

So low a voice sounds and we look at Meng.

"That's all I have. No matter how you try to do it, there is danger involved. I don't think it's such a bad bet to bet on horseback riding speed"

Even if you surround yourself with ten times as many soldiers, there is a great danger that Tan 'an will go upside down and get Mr. Meng Lin.

Is it less risky to help out while your opponent is moving at horseback speed than that?

Both Tian Yong and Peng Yue seemed to reach the same conclusion, and we nodded silently.

Assault from where you can get ahead and hide yourself to the flank of the group.

Slash and tear the line, and in the midst of the confusion, run as far as Mr. Meng Lin.

If you take Mr. Menglin back, leave at once and retreat to an unharmed location in Hua.

Rendezvous and once again aim for an immediate ink attack.

"There was almost a river, wasn't there?"

"Oh, the water is flowing."

Tatsuyoshi responds to my question.

I remember the map you showed me for my expedition east.

"What about the ambush there"

◇ ◇ ◇

Leaving behind the two tracking Tananas, we lead the horseback riding squad and make a big detour to get ahead.

There is a river running from north to south called Tsuishui halfway between Toa 'anpei and Immediate Ink.

Aim for when Tianan and the others will split on the boat in an attempt to cross the waters.

Even if you try to escape, you cannot escape in terms of instant ink because the forward is inhibited by the river. That would applaud the confusion.

Even modern people know that fighting the river behind their backs is unfavourable, and it's one of the military operations Meng once again asked me about.

There are exceptions to the leeward formation, but basically it should be avoided.

Speaking of which, I guess the leeward formation was a battle of this era.

No, not if you're thinking about that right now.

Let out a reconnaissance and wait for that time in the shadow of the raised hill in front of the river.

Not yet... can't they still come? I ran quite a bit on a horse.

Yet time passes too late.

... Still won't come?

My hand accidentally rested on my shoulder, and I looked back at Vikri.

"That's how the Tananas are still going. It will be evening passing through here. You're gonna be exhausted before things happen."

Earlier I looked back, Tianxi was smiling softly.

"I know..."

"I know what it's like to be in a hurry. I'm actually in such a hurry that I'm about to scream, too. But now is the time to wait. Inside, the Lord will also rush through from Linzi. You may not be feeling tired from sticking around, but rest a little."

As soon as they said that to Tian Side, I felt my body get heavy with jitters.

I wasn't aware, but I seemed pretty tired.

"Get some rest. Because the Lord is weaker than we are."

Meng Zheng enters the conversation. Meng also seems to be trying to relax in preparation for that time.

I thought I got a lot of strength. I still can't compare to them.

Besides, when you can rest like these people, you don't really get the strength to rest.

"Then I'm sorry, but I'll give you a break. Let me know if you need anything."

I said no to both of them and walked out to find a place to rest.

Hey, I feel terrible about fatigue when I realize it. My head is fluttering, too. You've been pretty uptight...

"Oh, yes, Tanaka."

I look back carelessly at Meng's call.

"What is it?"

"Hmm. When this is over, will you marry Lynn?"

Uh, yes, yes, when you're done. Now help Mr. Meng Lin......

"Ha!?

Marry me? Marrying means getting married!?

Married? Mon Lin is your wife? Mr. Meng Lin is my wife!?

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Meng takes my upset to the margin and speaks with a serious face.

"Well, that's it, I'm sorry about the ancestors, but the Meng family will end with me. Then my niece Lynn has no clue, and I want her to marry the person I like. I'm sure your Lord is attracted to Meng Lin, too."

"As it were, well, that's... yes..."

It's not something I can hide now, and I'll respond.

"The Lord may return to the far east one day, but I do not hesitate to ask you to take Lynn with you then. Yeah, I can see it. The core is strong. Let's follow the Lord to the end of the earth."

Meng smiled with a soft face like he'd never seen before.

Instead of the end of the earth, it's the end of time and space......

When I was stuck with the words, Meng continued to say them like they were a little troubled.

"Besides... If there are rumors that he was kidnapped this time, what about the facts..."

I was injured. seen as, or......

You mean you can still be seen with strange eyes about hair color, and even stranger eyes in this kidnapping...

... I would... I would.

"Well, we have to help them out first. You may not give an answer immediately. Think about it."

I nodded silently and left the scene.

I sat down a little further away. All sorts of thoughts overhead.

Convenient and comfortable living in Japan.

Work that was painful and well.

A mother who raised me with one woman.

A sister who's going to use it, a niece like that copy. My brother-in-law likes the history of my caring home country.

He's a benefactor of life, beside Tian like his brother's best friend.

Tian Hiro like a cute little brother who admires me.

Old silent, but always caring about Tian Ji.

Meng like a stubborn, loud old man of a relative.

Meng Yi made me feel like a strict, gentle father with a poor memory of my father.

And Mr. Munglin.

Someone with a warm sunlight all the time, both in appearance and mind. Beautiful and adorable person.

Somehow you like me, and someone who likes me.

I wonder how many years we've already met.

... I have to respond.

You're gonna have to help me and tell me.

That's right, I decide, exhale one thing.

Looking up at the sky still spreading blue,

"It's not a flag, is it?"

I shrugged in a voice no one could hear.

Eventually the sun starts to tilt again today and the sunset dyes the sky red.
