(A/N: 3/3 chapters. It's a little bit rushed but I will definitely improve the writing in the next one since it was an action chapter! Thanks for reading and thanks for the power stones once more alexbabyyahoo! XDD!)
In three days of preparation, Yoichi and his clan made their way toward the 10,000 troops with valor and elegance as the town's management and protection administrators of a prosperous town.
Each soldier and clan leader looked at them in admiration, respect, and a bit of inward greed in their eyes as Yoichi stepped forward with determination and a strategic plan ahead of time.
"Everyone, we are here today to expel all the invaders lurking and planning against our thriving and booming town!"
"All of you are experienced warriors who made their entrances in war, bloodshed, and honor amongst the deceased comrades and fellow camaraderie..."
"Each of you, excellent warriors who experienced countless practice and training from dawn to dusk..."
"Everyone participated in our conquest of building this magnificent and flourishing town with blood, sweat, and tears built upon the foundations of each house here in the town!"
"And now, someone's gonna destroy our home, Somebody in our town is gonna die, Some person would lose their loved ones! Are you going to sit still and let them encroach on our land? Are you all mighty warriors who want to experience peace, let these brutes and mongrels desecrate our town?!"
"What is your answer?!"
Yoichi delivered a grand speech across the people, stunning them in a couple of moments including his clan who shook their heads and smiled at his confident and formidable aura soaring to the sky.
As for the clan leaders, they involuntarily gulped the saliva and exchanged glances at each other with serious looks on their complexions. The mysterious clan head of Murakami Clan was beyond godlike with his aura which skyrocketed in the air, showing his stance among the crowd as a charming and competent leader of his clan.
One misstep of their covetousness will result in an onslaught of their clans like the Tokugawa Clan.
"No! We won't let them leave without leaving their life here! We will fight until we die!
"That's right! Those bastards must pay their lives with their uninvited visit to our town!"
"Kill them all! For the glory and prosperity of Suzaku Town!"
Countless chants and optimistic roars of the warriors rang even inside the town, the common people felt they were secure and stable with the warriors' unity and excellence on the battlefield.
"That's right! We will win this fight for the future of our town. On my side, we have two fearsome and well-known war goddesses, Satomi and Maki! Cheers for their formidable strength and triumphant return with victory in our hands!"
He patted their backs and pushed them forward as Satomi and Maki angrily glared at him. Yet inwardly, admiring their husband as the roars and cheers to them made the warrior crowd even more fervor and excited fighting side by side with these female war divinities on the battleground.
"Of course, they are also in tandem with our administrative division heads, Nobara, Makima, Yoru, and Yuki! They will fight alongside us so give your heartful applause!"
Yoichi waved his hands toward his called names while they merely stepped forward, shy and smiling in front of the crowd as the people chanted and applauded in the dutiful service of Murakami Clan Members.
"And lastly, let's cheer for my students, Ryoma, Sumiko, and Natsumi for their meritorious service as the future of our town! Everyone, our children are gonna be the future of our town and the foundation for prosperity and life ahead of tomorrow. Also, do not forget each clan leader who participated in our cause and fought these vermins out of our lands!"
Yoichi looked at his students. Natsumi and Sumiko bowed deeply with respect and politeness while Ryoma cheekily smiled and scratched his head.
The clan leaders also showcased their royal elegance and air of grace yet Yoichi's outstanding aura of dignity and uprightness was miles ahead compared to the clan heads.
"For now, we would slowly march on their gathering spot and encircle them. We must conserve energy in our fruitful battle so keep calm and look forward to seeing a brand-new era, blinding your eyes in its blissful and stable light!"
After seeing the warriors nod, Yoichi glanced at his wives and students, exchanging nods with each other, and went on their way to their positions as he disappeared, shocking everyone excluding his clan members.
"How did he do that?"
"Wow, that was quick! Did you see that?"
"HAHAHA! Our victory is at hand!"
->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->
"Seimei, look at them! Each different breed of unscrupulous bastards is here! There are roughly 30,000 right in this massive forest! What if I ate them all out, Seimei?"
"Shut up, you imbecile! We wanted to partake in the raid, not to kill our comrades openly!"
Both Shin and Seimei were at the gathering place in the forest. Shin licked his lips and smiled maliciously but Seimei smacked his head and shook his head in disbelief and exasperation.
'What the fuck is wrong with his head? All he does is eat, eat, and then eat! I am seriously worried about our plans to assassinate Yoichi's clan!'
"Nobushi! Is there anyone who are we waiting for? Let's storm that town and kill them all!" a loudmouth shouted as his burly figure was packed with raw muscles and a giant axe.
"Yasataka! Can you shut your mouth and listen for a little bit? Your breath stinks and you didn't even wash! As expected from a brute like you!" a well-dressed man replied to the muscular freak in disgust, pinching his nose due to the unbearable scent.
"Hahaha, beat him up, Yasataka! This pretentious genius Nobushi must be eradicated! Hehehehe..." a bald man chimed in, his skinny figure with his lips licking his daggers was soul-shocking for them.
"Can you all shut the fuck up? We are discussing how to destroy that town and all of you mongrels decided to tease each other... How pathetic!" A woman with a veil looked at them in scorn, crossing her arms with her devilish figure making her the star of the show in everyone's eyes.
"Omaru, Yaemono! Just kill all of the people inside the town and we're done! Look at our numbers, they will decimate any kind of fortification with just quantity!" Yasataka was in a state of brilliance with his brawny body.
"I hate to say this but I completely agree with this retard saying! Can we just get over with it already? No need for your intelligence-gathering with numerous digits in our hands!" Nobushi stared at them while the crowd nodded vigorously.
All 4 of them were the leaders of their syndicates and organizations. That's why they gained an infamous reputation in the era of chaos and conflict. Although these bandits and rogues were ready to commit crimes, they wouldn't speak since the venue was swarmed with people from different places with bad intentions.
"Hah! That's why I don't want to deal with idiots... The 10,000 warriors are now in march toward our spot! How did anyone know that? It was me all along! You stupid men should die quickly..." Yaemono closed her eyes and despaired at her comrade's faulty brains.
"Hehehe, Is it true?" Omaru laughed wickedly and licked his lips, ignoring Yaemono's statement while Nobushi and Yasataka were shocked at the current events.
"Yes. Of course! Why would I tell a lie about the plan? They are currently marching, conserving energy for the battle. Be careful though, they have some powerful individuals with great achievements on the battlefield. Based on the report, there is a man named Yoichi Murakami who delivered a speech for his warriors. I guess it's his way to make a farewell to his warriors." Yaemono scoffed at them while the bandits and rogues tensed expressions growing serious and excited about their future, living in lavish lifestyle without any concerns.
"Great! Let's go!" Yasataka, the brute, jumped out, excitedly rushing to the town.
"What a bunch of idiots, they underestimated him! If they met him face to face, maybe they would piss in their pants due to Yoichi's insidious aura. Am I right, Seimei?"
"Wow, I do not expect you to overly praise him that much! I guess you like him?! Wait..."
On the side, Shin sneered and looked at Seimei's ever-changing expression. From surprise to seriousness emotion swirled on his face, scrunched up like eating a sour food.
"Seimei, what's the problem?!" As soon as he saw Seimei go into a solemn expression, Shin grew tensed in the situation.
"He's here!" Seimei was alarmed, looking in a particular direction and frowning.
"Hello, guys! How's your day as gathering here for a big celebration?! Doing good?"
After hearing it, all of the people inside the forest looked at the man, who was standing on a tree branch and smiling at them.
"Who the hell is idiot doing? Is this one of your accomplices?"
"We don't know him, that's for sure. Anyone else knew this noisy bastard?!"
"Hey, kid! Get down there and come to me! What celebration are you talking about?"
Nobushi, Yaemono, Omaru, and Yasataka glanced at him, looking at those indifferent golden eyes like a god staring at mortals.
"Why did you ask? I mean, a celebration to die! I am so fortunate that all of you decided to gather together, I guess efficiency is the key, after all."
"Everyone, kill him! He's Yoichi Murakami!"
Hearing it, everybody rushed to him and licked their lips, it was an idiot enemy who encountered a pack of wolves in the forest.
"Let's enjoy the show, everyone. It will be painless and quick in your eyes..."
Yoichi clapped his hands together as a bunch of warriors suddenly teleported into the forest and looked at the rushing opponents with stances ready.
"It's showtime!"
