Nobuyuki Sanada, Niigata, June 2011

The sun that illuminates the earth tells us where our enemies are.This is the position, this is the wind up. Descend this gentle slope for an accelerated assault.Exactly, the perfect opportunity had come.

The Uesugi army hardened in front of Niigata Castle seems to be hoisting something, but it's too far from here to know exactly what it's doing.Are you holding a rally... or are you executing the enemy soldiers you captured?

But it's none of our business.There's no reason to miss this gap!

Once the reins were pulled hard, the horse shook its legs in amazement.I held my spear high to match it.

"The role of our Herald Corps is not to look down on the enemy forces!" Before you bother Nanba-sama and Hojo-sama, end the battle with this hand! "

Ohh!!!

Everyone's roar ran all over their bodies, and their pulse rapidly accelerated.The exhilaration that burns the body is gradually converted into strength, and you don't want to crush the hand of the spear.

Then, as soon as the morale of the troops reached its peak, the reins were loosened and the front legs of the horse landed on the ground.Our horses began to descend at once, as we were pushed by the momentum.

Let 'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!

The spear I lifted burned red against the sun.The roar of the earth shakes behind me, as if following my orders.

Only one thing to aim for.

It's the head of the Uesugi scenic spot!!!

June 2001 Niigata Uesugi Scenic

I hurried out of Niigata Castle in response to news from my son-in-law.The content itself was as expected, but above all, I wanted to see the proof of the success of the solution.

A head-to-head rush of execution.

Of course, the dignitaries are fully armed and waiting for that time.

After a while, a small surname slowly entered the formation holding the large head of the reed.Once deeply flat on the ground, the surname carries the sole to me.A sigh of relief leaked from the surroundings.

When I checked my eyes horizontally, I closed my eyes to agree with them.The sole, whose mud and blood were wiped, whose hair was wiped, and whose makeup was made up of white powder, was undoubtedly the head of the Shindaita family, the Shindaita Heavy Family.

"...... Katsushima Katsushima...... this head is the Shindaida Heavy Family"

Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!

Katsumi echoed like a watermark around the formation.Perhaps that momentum was pushed, and the mulberry tree necklace was swayed by the wind and danced small.

The sight burned into my head and I couldn't get away.

Everyone was delighted with the end of this civil strife, and I was only looking at the void.Although there was still a showdown with the Oda family, I was stunned by the number of lives lost to end this civil unrest.

It has been five years since the tragic contest that led to the exchange of spears with Jinghu.And after the loss of his wife, and of his friends, and of his chiefs, he was left of the desolate land, and of the exhausted people.

We won the battle. Killed Keihu, killed Shindata.Now we can rule the whole Echigo country in this hand.

But there were too many sacrifices.

In a daze, I turned my gaze to the battlefield where I was fighting yesterday.Blood-stained earth. Irritant odor that penetrates the nose.A skeleton of hatred in my eyes.All of that was vividly remembered.

I had to do this.

It can't be helped.

It was a life to be cut off.

Such words run vertically and endlessly through your chest and tie your body up like a chain.Protecting your home must take precedence over everything else.I shouldn't be wrong.

However, the gaze of the skeleton that looks at me penetrates the skin like a needle.

You're not worthy of a king.

It's a fake that will not inherit your blood.

Coward

Coward

"... shut up"

Close your eyes and cover your ears to escape your voice.Now, even if you plug your ears, it's directly echoing in your brain.

What sacrifice do you need?

”Even though I was going to abandon you from the beginning.”

I just want to escape my responsibilities.

"... shut up"

I bite my lips in remorse.

While understanding your own mistakes, you are ashamed of your own inability to stop by your own hand.

We had no choice but to go the fastest way.Even if I was wrong, I knew I'd die if I didn't make it here.

That's why I stopped retreating and pushed behind Shindata.Believe that if you leave the results here, you will escape this curse.

I still remember that time vividly.

The Uesugi troops steadily killed the New Hidata soldiers, using the famous Tsuji army that was raging like a madman on the battlefield.

It was easy for us to kill a weak soldier who was exhausted, who outnumbered us.

Then, after taking down about half of them, they took down Niigata Castle.If anyone had survived that battle, I knew they would come to Niigata Castle.

As a result, twenty-eight New Hida soldiers were captured, among them the enemy General Shin Hida's Heavy House.It's a big achievement that no one can complain about.

But that victory did not satisfy my heart.It's like there's a hole in the bottom.It's just a world where emptiness spreads.I lost sight of the meaning of this battle.

Even though we have to set the guidelines for the future, we always have no strength in our hands and feet.

"What should I do......"

The pebbles in my sight suddenly move as I murmured as I drooped.Minor changes I don't normally care about.Before I knew it, I couldn't keep my eyes off the pebble.

"... shaking... vibrating... sandy..."

Gradually, the sway spreads.Various factors are connected by a single line in your head.

"...... I can't believe it!"

Imagine a worst-case scenario and raise your face with momentum.

............ ahhhhhhh!

Shouting like the rumbling of the ground immediately afterwards.Earth smoke swirls around like a tornado.

I sat down in my chair as everyone was stuck on his right.I've figured out the end.

If you lower your gaze, you can see your trembling hands.I covered my face with my hands, without being able to stop the tremor anyway.Don't let anyone see you.

All I had in mind was deep remorse.

He put mud on the prestige of the Uesugi family that Lord Humshin had built, and destroyed the people who kept their backs, and wounded the people who should be protected, and ravaged the country.

--Where is [righteousness] in such a stupid figure?

If you were humble, you wouldn't have brought about such an end.

If you were humble, you would never leave the hearts of the people.

"If you're humble... if you're humble..."

While muttering like a rumor, I realized my true wish for the first time.Not as the owner of the Uesugi family, but as a wish for Uesugi scenic spots.

"I just wanted to be a humble person."That's all... "

At the end of his gaze, a young martial artist slashed through the formation.In such a situation, the face of a dear friend came to my mind.

With six.

Where on earth have I made a mistake?I wanted to be like Lord Humble, and after reaching out to scorch the sun, I couldn't get anything.

And he lost his wife, and his friend, and his brother-in-law, and fell far from righteousness.My wish was right.Where did you step off the road?

What should I have done?

Tell me, Yo-six.
