Then the Buddhist sword broke free from the shackles of the female ninja and flew into the hands of the white-clothed Shura!
"...Old friend, how are you?"
Axue stroked the Buddhist beads on the handle of Suzumaru Tsuneji's sword, then raised the sword and pointed it at Kato Danzo.
"Get out of here, ninja."
The white-robed Shura said coldly.
"I don't have the time to pray for the souls of a pile of scrap metal."
Chapter 3: The Evil Dragon of Echigo (/?)
North Shinano.
The smoke of gunpowder continues.
The sound of swords clashing on the battlefield was endless.
The two armies had been fighting for three days and three nights, but were still unable to achieve a decisive victory.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew on the battlefield!
On the northern horizon, the thick smoke was blown away, and a military flag came towards us.
Suddenly, a big word "Bi" was printed on it!
"It's the Bi-ji military flag!!"
"The Bi-ji military flag is coming!! Lord Kagetora is coming to support us!!!"
Now all the soldiers saw the military flag and couldn't help but celebrate in ecstasy.
The enemy soldiers instantly turned pale, with despair in their eyes.
Everyone knows what the appearance of a "Bi" military flag on the battlefield represents—
The Bi flag has arrived, and it is invincible!
Invincible, victorious in every battle!!
"That bastard Murakami Yoshikiyo! He actually summoned that ferocious beast, Nagao Kagetora!"
As expected, in front of the reinforcements, there was a man riding a white horse and charging fearlessly!
She held the "Bi" military flag in one hand and a silver-white spear in the other, and dressed in Western armor, she rushed towards the enemy camp alone like a war god sent from heaven!
"Arcaneman—ready!!"
The Takeda army was of such excellent quality that they had a reasonable response to such a fierce charge.
That is the matchlock gun of the southern barbarians!
The soldiers in front suddenly dispersed, revealing the arquebusiers lined up behind them!
"Fire at the enemy general, Nagao Kagetora!!"
This group of arquebusiers raised their matchlock rifles and launched a volley of fire at Nagao Kagetora who was charging alone!
Facing this deadly artillery attack, Nagao Kagetora did not get angry but laughed!
Her dark golden tiger eyes revealed a crazy madness!
"Martial luck is in the sky! Armor is on the chest! Merit is at the feet!!"
The reincarnation of Bishamonten laughed wildly.
"Release Yuemao! Follow me and attack the enemy camp!!"
The white horse under her crotch saw the artillery attack, but was not frightened like ordinary horses. Instead, it raised its head and neighed heroically like her master, and the speed of its hooves was even faster!
One man and one horse, they charged straight into the hail of bullets!
Then a completely shocking scene happened.
The swarm of lead bullets that were flying towards Nagao Kagetora had their trajectories twisted in front of the reincarnated war god, and scattered like wind blades split in two by a barrier!
"How can it be?!"
At the moment when the leader of the Takeda army had not yet reacted, Nagao Kagetora had already driven the Yuemao into the formation of arquebusiers, and in an instant the Takeda army was knocked to the ground!
The spear in the hand of this god of war was like a sickle that cuts the rice ears of the autumn harvest, cutting the fleeing Takeda army in half!
Then the cavalry behind Nagao Kagetora rushed forward, and the Takeda army completely lost its ability to fight in Northern Shinano!
"As expected... the Dragon of Echigo..."
As soon as this thought crossed the mind of the Takeda army leader, Nagao Kagetora's spear pierced him and knocked him off his horse!
..................
..................
"Lord Kagetora, the prisoners have been counted, and the Takeda army has opened the city gates and surrendered."
In the military camp, Honjo Minoru reported this to Nagao Kagetora.
However, Nagao Kagetora did not take off any armor, but instead poured himself some wine and tasted it.
"How should we deal with it?"
Northern Shinano was the area that the Takeda army most wanted to control.
Because it is adjacent to Echigo Province, Northern Shinano is always jumping back and forth from time to time, which is the most troublesome area for Shinano Province.
As a result, the people in this area basically have no sense of belonging and just follow whoever is stronger.
As long as the Takeda army in Kai could control northern Shinano, Shinano Province would be completely unified.
But now it seems that this plan has been shattered.
"Um......"
Nagao Kagetora gulped down a pot of fine wine, then wiped his mouth and replied with no emotion in his eyes—
"Massacre the city."
"W-what?! Lord Kagetora! Isn't this ill-considered?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals in the military camp exclaimed in surprise that this was absolutely impossible.
Nagao Kagetora had previously massacred the rebellious Yang Bei people in the city. Although it was against the will of heaven, it was ultimately justified.
Now that they are supporting Northern Shinano, they are actually going to massacre all the surrendered Takeda troops in the city...?
Nagao Kagetora said nothing more. Instead, she patted the Minister of the Interior, Naoe Kagetsuna, who was beside her and said, "I leave it to you. I will go and report the victory to Bishamonten."
"Rest in peace, Lord Jinghu."
Naoe Kagetsuna was the Naoe Sanetsuga three years ago. When Nagao Kagetora unified Echigo, he had become the actual head of the Nagao family. This third-generation veteran retainer was appreciated by Nagao Kagetora, who gave him the character "Kage" in his name.
The Minister of the Interior did not disappoint Nagao Kagetora, and he spoke to all the generals present.
"Lord Kagetora is the chosen one of heaven, the reincarnated war god sent by the Buddha to unify the Warring States. Don't you all agree that unifying Echigo will bring peace to the world?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"After unifying Echigo, our next goal is to defeat the Tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen, and the Lion of Sagami, Hojo Ujiyasu. If we allow the Takeda army to return and recuperate now, wouldn't that be putting a noose around our army's necks in the future?!"
Then Naoe Keitsuna waved his hand coldly.
"Massacre the city! Leave no one alive!"
At the end of the 15th year of Tenbun, Nagao Kagetora led his army to support Northern Shinano. After defeating the Takeda army, he faced the defenders who opened the gates to surrender and launched a massacre in the city without any conscience.
This move shocked all the surrounding daimyos and all the common people in northern Shinano.
From then on, Northern Shinano was completely subjugated to Echigo Province, and no one dared to rebel again.
Facing the purgatory on earth that could not be extinguished for three days and three nights, Nagao Kagetora's battlefield teacher, the veteran Honjo Sane, could not help but mutter to himself:
"Lord Kagetora has changed. The Lord Kagetora who once held high the banner of righteousness is gone. The only one left in this world is the evil dragon of Echigo, Nagao Kagetora..."
..................

"Xian Taoyuan... I've always been afraid of Jinghu..."
Lying on the sickbed, the seriously ill Nagao Harukage coughed and spoke weakly to his sister Sentoin beside him.
"Even though he entered the temple and learned the truth of things, he hasn't changed at all since he was young..."
Sentoin held Nagao Harukage's right hand and spoke softly.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Kagetora has long since converted to Buddhism, chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist scriptures. He has become a cautious, well-educated and well-mannered young warrior."
"You, you've actually noticed it a long time ago, right..."
Nagao Harukage said with fear on his face.
"Convert to Buddhism? That guy doesn't even have a human heart!"
"That guy just thinks people should be like this. He's just imitating humans!"
"I'm scared, Xiantaoyuan, I'm scared of those eyes that even my father is afraid of!!"
"Brother, please go to bed early..."
Ever since Nagao Kagetora massacred another city, Nagao Harukage's condition has worsened significantly, and now he is only hanging on by half.
"Xian Taoyuan... Jinghu knows! She must know!"
Nagao Harukage's eyes rolled wildly as he spoke in great fear.
"Kagetora must have known! The reason the Yang Beizhong rebelled again was because I was the one funding Kuroda Hidetada! Kagetora must have known! She, she massacred the city just to show me!!"
How could Harukage, now the head of the Nagao family, sleep peacefully when there was such a city-slaughtering executioner who held military power living next to him?
"Onii-sama, how could Kagetora be such a person..."
Xian Taoyuan picked up the medicine bowl and was about to give the medicine to her sick brother.
"Xiantaoyuan! You can't escape!!"
Qing Jing threw away the medicine bowl, scratched his face with his fingernails, and trembled.
"You killed the love of Kagetora's life! Kagetora will torture you to death! Sentoin! Kagetora will kill you too!!"
And at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The person who came was Nagao Kagetora, who had been staying outside the house for a long time.
"Kagetora! I'm going to give you the position of head of this family!!"
When Nagao Harukage saw Nagao Kagetora coming, his previous extreme fear turned into an unprecedented ecstasy.
He struggled to stand up, climbed up from the tatami and grabbed the trouser leg of Nagao Kagetora tightly.
"I'm sorry! Kagetora! I can't govern Echigo with my strength! You are the heir to the head of the family—cough cough cough, cough cough cough!"
Seeing Nagao Harukage coughing wildly, Nagao Kagetora looked down coldly at the head of the Nagao family.
Then she slowly bent down and picked up the medicine bowl beside her.
"Brother, please take care of yourself."
Nagao Kagetora took the medicine bowl, with no emotion in his eyes, and forced the remaining soup in the bowl into Nagao Harukage's mouth.
"Brother, you are the master of the Nagao family. How can you not take care of your body? I am very worried about you, Brother."
"Jing, Jinghu! Stop torturing me! Stop torturing me!!"
Nagao Kagetora finally broke down and burst into tears.
"What do I need! What do I need to do to let me leave the Nagao family? What do I need to do to let me go?!"
"I deeply respect and love you, Brother-sama."
