Imagine such a scene; it's practically Rambo reborn!
In this time of war, all soldiers were poised for battle.
After Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi quickly reported the situation on the front lines to Kasuga Izuminokami Yasutsuna, it caused quite a stir.
"Lord, I request to lead troops out of the city to completely eliminate the threat of the Okurai clan!"
In the main hall, Kasuga Izuminokami Yasutsuna and the surrounding elders were momentarily deeply shocked by Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi's request.
"Lord, opportunity knocks but once!"
"If we miss this chance, and the Okuragui Army attacks again later, our situation will definitely become even more difficult..."
Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi said in a deep voice.
The surrounding elders discussed animatedly.
Kasuga Izuminokami Yasutsuna sat in the main seat, looking at Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi kneeling on one knee before him, and said in a deep voice.
"Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!"
"Your subordinate is willing to stake his life on it!"
Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi said without hesitation, decisively.
"Since that is the case, then I grant you permission to lead troops out to battle and utterly defeat Okuragi Takatora!"
Kasuga Izuminokami Yasutsuna stood up and shouted loudly.
A father who is willing to fight for his daughter is certainly not someone without courage.
Upon hearing this, Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi suddenly looked up, his excitement and thrill undisguised.
"Your subordinate will definitely not let down your lord's expectations!"
As Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi received permission to dispatch troops, the soldiers who had been on high alert in Kasuga Castle quickly assembled.
Everyone gathered, preparing to sally forth from the city and head towards the Okurai clan.
At the same time, in the main tent of the Okuragui Army not far from Kasuga Castle, Okuragi Takatora, dressed in battle attire, had an extremely cold expression.
On the ground in front of him lay a gruesome corpse, already lifeless, covered in bloodied holes.
He coldly stared at the two generals to his left and right, and said in a chilling voice, "Which of you can tell me what exactly is going on?"
"How could Kasuga Castle have such powerful weapons ambushed outside the city?"
"And we, we didn't even have a shred of information, we didn't even know what they were using!"
Okuragi Takatora's roar echoed through the main tent.
Apart from him, everyone else in the tent was silent, no one daring to speak.
No one dared to provoke him at this moment.
Seeing that no one dared to speak, Okuragi Takatora became even more enraged.
Since becoming a lord, it had been a long time since he had been this angry.
He wasn't distressed by the casualties of these soldiers.
For him, as long as he wished, he could easily expand the size of his army even further.
Compared to the grand ambition of conquering the world, these people were merely expendable cannon fodder.
What truly enraged him was the weapon that Kasuga Castle had brought out, a weapon he had never seen before!
His troops had personally experienced the lethality of this new type of weapon.
Facing this unknown thing, Okuragi Takatora's heart was filled not only with anger but also with a sense of fear.
What if Kasuga Castle had more of these weapons?
At that time, in front of Kasuga Castle's army, his subordinates would be vulnerable, torn to shreds by countless projectiles.
Not only that, but his beautiful dream of conquering the world would completely collapse, turning into a fleeting illusion.
Thinking of this, Okuragi Takatora's expression became even uglier.
"I don't care what method you use, you must get me information on this weapon!"
"Figure out how it's made and how it's used!"
"This weapon of mass destruction must absolutely be in our own hands!"
Okuragi Takatora believed that this was not just a threat, but also an opportunity for him!
As long as he could master this power, then no one on this land would be his opponent.
He would become the sole ruler of this land.
Both sides of the war had now changed because of Kobayashi Itsuki's few claymore mines.
Outside the city, the treatment of the wounded continued.
Inside the city, Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi had already organized the army, ready to depart at any moment.
"Kobayashi-kun, I beg you, please fight with us!"
Before their departure, Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi gathered his troops, led his horse to Kobayashi Itsuki, and pleaded.
Kobayashi Itsuki had just finished clearing the claymore mines on the city wall, keeping them in a state where they could be activated at any time, and returned to the system.
As he turned his head, he saw Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi approaching him.
"Ijiri-kun, even if you're going to fleece someone, you shouldn't just stick to one sheep, right?"
Kobayashi Itsuki said somewhat helplessly.
"Although I am confident in taking down Okuragi Takatora in one fell swoop, if Kobayashi-kun you assist us, then it will be absolutely foolproof!"
Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi was a little embarrassed, smiling awkwardly.
"I just told our lord about your heroic deeds."
"After this war ends, our lord has promised to give you a very generous reward. Not only that, if we truly defeat Okuragi Takatora, you will be allowed to choose from his wealth first."
"Kobayashi-kun, please, I beg you to agree..."
Prioritize choice?
Hearing this, Kobayashi Itsuki's eyes lit up slightly.
This sounds pretty good. As a lord who dominates all directions, he must have quite a bit of wealth, right?
If he brings it back to the modern era, he'll definitely get rich.
What debts? Those are just minor inconveniences.
"In that case, I'll set off with you guys."
With his current strength, being a battlefield mercenary isn't a big deal.
As long as the battle doesn't last too long, he can still handle it.
Hearing Kobayashi Itsuki agree, a look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi's face.
"However, I have to say this first: I don't have that much time to spend on dealing with miscellaneous soldiers. At most, I can help you clear out a portion; the rest you'll have to handle yourselves."
"My main target is Okuragi Takatora."
"Yes!"
"I understand. We will handle the others and clear a path for you!"
Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi said earnestly, then pulled the reins, inviting Kobayashi Itsuki to mount the horse.
Flipping onto the horse, Kobayashi Itsuki felt a bit unaccustomed to riding on horseback for the first time.
If the conditions in the wild weren't unsuitable, he would really want to take out his own vehicle.
Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi led the horse towards the army behind the city gate.
As a great general in Kasuga Castle, being able to have Ijiri Matabei Yoshitoshi lead his horse was truly unprecedented, except for Lord Kasuga Izuminokami Yasutsuna and Princess Kasuga Ren.
For a moment, their arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.
