Chapter 87: East

"Fuck lad, they're going to attack the eastern camp!"

Nakatane cursed, a little panicked upon seeing them head east. To the west, Matsudaira was camped, and they had heard those men training for the majority of the day. They would be ready to deal with the sudden charge.

But eastwards was a camp under Asahina Yasutomo, one of Imagawa's retainers. And if they were anything like their Daimyo, the men will have spent most of the day celebrating, and be unarmed now, in the late afternoon.

They had successfully defended their own camp, with the wall of fire. That also happened to be the camp in which Imagawa was stationed, as Nobunaga seemed to know beforehand. That meant that absolute victory was already torn from the man's grasp. Imagawa, and his 6000 men, would certainly be armed and ready to confront them by the time they returned.

But the problem lay in how to warn the western camp of the imminent threat.
