"You and your men will take the left-wing – we will take the centre and right-wing."
Gengyo proposed.
"What? Are you sure? We have a similar number of men to you… If you spread yourselves on both the centre of the right-wing you'll be overwhelmed!"
The young boy raised his eyebrows, sharing a look with Jikouji and Nakatane.
"This man thinks we'll be overwhelmed? Hoho! Are we not being underestimated a little?"
They shook their heads at the boy's teasing, with light smiles on their faces.
"No, no! I don't mean that… It's just…"
The young smiled up at him, letting him know it was a joke.
He looked slightly embarrassed at the realization, but conceded to silence as he allowed an explanation to be made.
"We are handing you the most vital role in this battle, Gosankyo-san. With your superior numbers, you must crush their right-wing, and then flank the men that we will keep engaged."
//Author's Note
Alright, I anticipate there will be some confusion in regards to wings. I said the allied left wing must crush the enemy right wing. And that might seem to be a pretty contradictory statement, but it is correct. The wings are labelled according to that army's point of view. The left wing will engage with the right-wing, whilst the right-wing will engage with the left-wing. Hope that clears it up a little before any misunderstandings begin.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Two more are on their way!
