Chapter 2196 This Situation is Different

Niwa Yukimori looked at Takeda Shingen for a long time, and finally nodded.

"I promise you."

"Thank you very much for your understanding."

Takeda Shingen was very satisfied with the result. Being able to convince Amago Yukimori, who was known for his stubbornness, with just financial aid was the best outcome she could think of.

After all, Amago Yukimori was a stubborn guy who even saints found troublesome. In comparison, the Takeda family could make her change her mind by paying some money and food, which was already a very good result.

As soon as Takeda Shingen left, Tachihara Hisasuna came out from behind the curtain. She glanced at the box full of gold koban and knelt in front of Amago Yukimori.

Niko Yukimori chuckled.

“You heard it all.

A wolf is kept out of the front gate, but a tiger comes in through the back door. The two Maeda families are aggressive outside, and the seemingly friendly Takeda family is also meddling in my Amago family.

The Amago family is now weak and lacks everything, so it can only be exploited by others.

The two Maedas looked down on us, and in fact, Takeda Shingen also looked down on us. We had nothing, and the only thing we had was the courage to fight to the death.

Old man, all we have left now is our worthless dignity.

Face is given by others, but you lose face by yourself. I will leave the task of defending Yuxiang Palace to you.

The Amago family can suffer death but cannot lose face. For the glory of the Amago family, please fight with everyone until the last moment.

As for me, I will continue to live. For the sake of Niwa Katsuhisa's dream, for the future of my daughter, and for the continuation of the Niwa family, I will fight these jackals and tigers to the end."

Tachihara Hisasuna prostrated himself on the ground, bowed deeply and could not get up.

Amago Yukimori is indeed stubborn, impulsive, and sometimes seems unreasonable, but this war is the best opportunity for the Amago family to return to the west and rebuild their glory, so she must remain calm and rational.

Yukimori Amako saw all of the suppression by the two Maedas, the exploitation by Takeda, and even the little tricks by Akechi Hosokawa Yuigahama, and he knew it all very well.

She is just impulsive, not really stupid.

Niwa Yukimori knew that she could not die, as she and her daughter were the future of the Niwa family, descendants of the gods.

As long as the mother and daughter of the divine descent are safe, it doesn't matter even if the Niziji warrior group is wiped out. Jane can rebuild everything in the Sacred Heart.

Both Maeda and Takeda Shingen underestimated her, and so did Takeda Shingen.

Amago Yukimori is already over 30 years old. She has experienced so many ups and downs from Kinki to Kanto and back to Kinki. How could she still be the ignorant girl she was before?

Stubbornness and impulsiveness have become her personality and her amulet. If being looked down upon can help the Niwa family develop better, Niwa Yukimori can temporarily endure being looked down upon.

But the Amago family cannot be looked down upon. Reviving the Amago family requires sacrifice. The Amago princess warrior group must prove themselves with iron and blood, even if they are completely wiped out.

This is what Amago Yukimori wanted to tell Tachihara Hisasuna.

Not long after the Amago army entered the Mikami Palace, the weather in late autumn was cool for two days and then began to warm up. It seemed as if the solar term had been held back until the end and refused to get cold no matter what.

But the rivers in late autumn have no time to wait for the coolness and have already entered the dry season.

The Mori army led by Kobayakawa Takakage set out from Senryomatsu and arrived at Mukojima, intending to force a crossing of the Uji River and attack Mikamiya.

While the Mori clan was desperately trying to attract the attention of the Sasaki clan on its flank, the main force of an army crossed the Kamo River and went south from Kami Toba on the west bank of the Koeda Bridge to attack Shimo Toba on the east bank.

Hideyoshi Ichijo came in person and, accompanied by Hidenaga Ichijo, settled in Toba Imperial Palace. He was only six kilometers away from Yoshikane Sasaki of Fushimi Castle, and the two sides were in a game of king against king.

The elite troops of the Sasaki and Ichijo families continued to enter Toba-Fushimi. Thousands of troops have been stationed in the small plain from Shimotoba to Fushimi Castle, and the number is still increasing.

This is the darkness before dawn, the silence before the war, so quiet that it is suffocating. Only the increasing wisps of smoke make people feel that the number of troops is still increasing and the pressure is even greater.

The temporary silence on the front battlefield attracted all attention to the Yuxiang Palace in the south.

The weakest point in the triangular defense of Inari Taisha, Fushimi Castle, and Mikami Palace is at Mikami Palace.

Once the Mikamiya Palace is breached by the Mori family, the Mori army on the southern front will directly respond to the main force of the army and squeeze the defensive space of Fushimi Castle.

Everyone's eyes were on Mika Palace. Many people didn't understand why the saint would entrust such an important stronghold to the weak Niwa family to defend. Could it be that in the saint's mind, the success or failure of Mika Palace was not important?

In front of the main hall of Mikamigu Shrine, under the torii gate.

Tachihara Hisasuna, wearing a vest, sat on a stool and pointed at the female warrior kneeling in front of him.

"Don't tell me how many people died. I'm not interested in knowing."

The female warrior in front of him jumped up and cursed.

"It's only been half a day, and I've already lost eighty sisters! They are all skilled in martial arts and have been with me for more than three years!
Although Yuxiang Palace occupied the commanding heights, the street on the left was too close and not high enough to suppress the enemy's charge!

Yoshikawa Hiroie of the Mori family was simply crazy. She didn't care about the number of casualties at all and kept forcing the reserve troops to charge forward!

The Maori family is crazy and they are fighting for the Ichijo family, but I am not crazy. If I continue to fight, my sisters will die here!"

Tachihara Hisasuna looked at the furious mercenary leader and said coldly.

"You promised me that you would keep watch for three days."

“The situation is different now!”

"Make a price."

"I told you it's not about the money!"

“It’s all about money!”

Tachihara Hisasuna stood up suddenly and pointed at the mercenary leader's nose and cursed.

"Since you have accepted the money from the Nizi family, you must abide by the agreement and help me guard for three days. If you think this deal is not worthwhile, you can name any price you want. I will not bargain!"

The mercenary leader's face turned green with anger, and he asked back gloomily.

"What if I don't want to?"

Tachihara Hisasuna sneered.

"Twenty years after the restoration of Amago, the Amago retainers have never given up the dream of returning to the west. Now that the dream is about to come true, we are willing to sacrifice everything to realize it.

If you help the Niwa family, you are their friend, and the Niwa family will remember this friendship.

If you break the contract now, you will be an enemy who destroys the revival of the Amago clan. I promise you that the Amago clan will definitely take revenge.

Become a guest of honor of the Niwa family, or become the Niwa family's blood enemy, it's your choice."

Tachihara Hisasuna stood there with a head full of gray hair, looking intimidating without even getting angry. She had spent her entire life working for the revival of Amago, and her threat at this moment seemed particularly convincing.

The irreconcilable hatred between the Amago and Mori had long been spread throughout the world and was known to everyone. The Amago family's unswerving pursuit of revival had attracted the attention of the world.

The mercenary leader was also speechless. If the Niwa family was not a descendant of the Sasaki family, she might have sneered and just left.

However, Tachihara Hisasuna's toughness made her, who had been so angry that she lost her mind, suddenly calm down. The battlefield she was on now was not an ordinary battlefield, but a part of the decisive battle between the Sasaki Ichijo and the two families.

Hired by the Amago clan and guaranteed by the Takeda clan, the confidence behind them was the general trend of the Sōma world.

Mercenaries are bound to break contracts, but the targets of the breach are those who can be afforded to offend. But can the Spo God Clan be offended?

The mercenary leader gritted his teeth and said.

"I said I would guard for three days, and I am a man of my word.

But my sisters are all good sisters who have known each other for many years, and I can't bear to push them onto a battlefield where they are bound to die."

Tachihara Hisasuna narrowed his eyes.

"What do you want?"

The mercenary leader's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he uttered something through gritted teeth.

"You have to pay more. I want three times the commission."

"Okay, I'll give it to you!"
