The sky is always covered with haze and there is no trace of sunshine. The sea fog on Beppu Bay in the distance occasionally penetrates into the city of the Mansion's inner hall.

Wakari Echigotsuma stood in front of a room in the city lord's mansion, proudly holding his hands with his eyes closed slightly. He was standing in the city lord's mansion. As the army of the Luo family rushed to the city, more and more retainers in the city came to ask for the two mother and son of Shishimamaru. Just a child who was only six years old and a woman, how could he deal with these people? Therefore, as the city's largest official position and the most military power, Wakari Echigotsumaru, is naturally the only person in the city who can make decisions.

"Tait..."

Just then, a sound of footsteps was coming quickly.

"Report!" The retainer saw that the family governor was standing in front of the door, so he quickly saluted.

"What's the matter?"

Wakarin Echigotsu asked in a stern tone, but his eyes were still slightly closed. The person who came was one of his tribesmen. Before the Luo family army was about to approach the inner hall of the mansion, he moved his tribesmen into the city or into the navy in advance.

"Sir! You look very bad."

"Stop talking, what's the matter?"

"Sir, the Luo family army outside the city has had abnormal movements and seems to be preparing to attack the city."

"Are you finally here?" Ruo Lin Echumo Mori suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself. Since the army of the Luo family surrounded the inner hall of the Mansion, it has not yet attacked the city, and even the town outside the city has not entered. Instead, the other party began to sweep the area around the inner hall. Judging from the information that the detailed work was shot into the city yesterday, the entire area near the inner hall was left. Only Takasaki Yama Castle and Tsuruga Castle, which were guarded by the Otomo family, were not captured, but as time went by, it was only time for these two branch cities to be destroyed. And today, is the other party finally going to attack the city?

"Send someone to inform the lord of the house." After thinking for a while, Echigo Warurika walked towards the city wall and ordered.

"Master of the Mansion?" The clan members were stunned when they heard this, and then they thought of who the so-called "Master of the Mansion" was. They were just a six-year-old child. Because he was almost exterminated, not many people in the city regarded him as the true heir of the Dayou family, so the clan members did not react for a while. As for the mother of the "Master of the Mansion", everyone had already regarded him as a pitiful mother. Not only did the husband die, but now they could not even save their son. At this time, everyone in the city was in danger, and obviously they did not have much confidence in resisting.

After asking the clan members to go to the Shimoshima Maru and his son to report the abnormal movement outside the city, Wakarin Ekigotsu quickly came to the city wall at the main entrance of the mansion. At this time, the abnormal movement of the Luo family army outside the city had already made the guards on the city nervous.

Standing on the city wall and looking out, the Luo family army began to slowly approach the inner hall of the mansion under the command of the generals. A neat military formation was highlighted on the side facing the main entrance.

"Prepare for battle!" Seeing this, Ekigo Waruri thought that the Luo family was really going to attack the city, so he immediately ordered.

"Sir, where do you look?" At this moment, a retainer next to him pointed to the distance and said. The direction the retainer pointed was the direction of the military formation that had just emerged from the Luo family army.

At this moment, the military formation suddenly stopped far away from the city gate. Then it separated instantly, revealing a spacious passage from it. Immediately afterwards, a group of people walked slowly towards the city gate.

"Coffin?" Ruolin Echigotsuma saw a carriage among the team of people. In addition, behind the coffin, several people were holding some wooden boxes. The entire team seemed quite solemn and grand.

"Suspend the attack." Seeing this scene, Wakarin Echigoshi immediately ordered the defenders on the city wall not to attack.

In this way, thousands of Otomo's guardians on the city wall and nearly 10,000 Luo family soldiers outside the city watched the coffin gradually come to the gate of the inner hall of the mansion.

"According to the order of my lord, I will return the body of Otoyo Yoshimiya! To show respect for the deceased, my family will retreat half a mile and officially start the war in two hours." After parked the coffin outside the city gate, a samurai from the Luo family stood in front of the city gate and looked up and shouted at the city wall. Then, after leaving one person, the rest of the Luo family members began to evacuate under the leadership of this samurai.

Zhengliang, who was under the escort of everyone in the distance, also waved the army in his hand, and the Luo family army surrounding the palace also began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Although Otoyo Yoshimi had asked for trouble with the Luo family several times, Masaru still admired him in his heart. Otoyo Yoshimi was not a garbage lord. He was able to lead a wealthy family to become the overlord Daming, which shows that his ability was quite good, and he could even be called a wise lord. Objectively speaking, his strategy to attack the Luo family with all his strength was very correct, otherwise, once the Luo family fully gained a foothold, it would be time for the tragedy of the Otoyo family. The only pity is that even the best

If the lord meets a lord who is better than him (such as Masarae), it is likely to be a tragedy. The result of this battle between the Luo family and the Otomo family and the Otomo family last year directly changed the pattern of Kitakyushu, thus affecting the fate of the three families, and indirectly affecting the fate of the rich families in other parts of Kyushu. It also changed the trajectory of history. Since then, the Luo family has truly become an important pawn that influences the historical trend of Japan. However, the Otomo Yoshikiya has tragically become a supporting role that sets off this historical event.

Of course, after experiencing this incident with Oto Yoshimiya, Masayoshi also clearly realized a problem. That is, even if a family with a deep foundation suddenly dies at home, and the heirs are not determined or are incompetent, and thus they do not receive support from the retainers, even if the internal retainers are united, a family will be separated under external pressure. Therefore, Masayoshi has paid more attention to his own safety since then. He does not want to retake Oto Yoshimiya's retreat.

Previously, from the information sent by the Rao family in the castle, it was learned that the Otomo family in the castle was using Otomo Yoshiki's death to arouse the will of the defenders. In order to reduce the fighting spirit of the defenders in the castle and to a certain extent, the Otomo family outside the castle led the people's favor, and also from Masarara's heartfelt admiration, Masara decided to send the body back to the city the second day after receiving Otomo Yoshiki Naoshita body sent by Masarashi Kinoshita.

Masara's move won the admiration of the retainers of the Hara Oto family who had already surrendered to the Luo family, and also declared the people of the Luo family's kindness to the local people to the local people. So, two days ago, Irida, who followed Iino's Aoshima from Tsuruga Castle to the south, was moved and ashamed, he personally requested to enter the city to persuade the surrender.

To be honest, he had no choice but to surrender before. If the Otomo family members around him learned that his son had defected to the Luo family and misunderstood to join the Tian family and assisted the latter in invading Oita County, these wealthy families would not be able to distinguish him at all. In addition, he was indeed unwilling to have the legitimate son who had joined the Luo family to be criticized by the Luo family because of his resolute refusal to rebel, and even the family was destroyed. So after weighing the pros and consequently, he finally chose to surrender to the Luo family.

After seeing Ototo Yoshimi's remains of his face with his own eyes, his sense of shame became even stronger. After discussing with his legitimate son, he resolutely requested to go to the inner hall of the mansion to escort Ototo Yoshimi's coffin into the city, and to persuade Shimoshimaru and his son in the city to surrender. On this mission, he was already determined to die. If everyone in the city insisted on executing him to death, he had nothing to say. If everyone in the city was unwilling to surrender but did not kill him, then he would burn together with Ototo Yoshimi's body at the moment when the inner hall was broken.

Just as Irida Monmaki escorted Ototo Yoshiki's coffin into the inner hall, Shiineshimama's mother was leaning on the railing east of the mansion, staring blankly at the Oita River tributary as the moat.

At this time, the palace in the palace had become a small town hidden in the dark green under the influence of spring. The sea breeze blew from Beppu Bay to the north, bringing a hint of coolness and fishy smell. The sky was dark and there was no cloud. The city was about to fall soon!

The continuous eaves under the city are hidden in the endless green, forming a turquoise sea. Do the people living in the house know their destiny?

The Luo family's army was already outside the town at this time. Once these troops poured in, they would set fire at the city first. Once the defense party decided to defend to the death, the attacking party would first burn the city. This was common sense in war. At that time, the panicked crowd would definitely cry in the fire, which was extremely miserable. When she thought of this, she felt that she was guilty, as if she had harmed those innocent creatures.

In addition to these creatures, there is also his son and his daughter who is less than one year old. Thinking about the fact that she was favored by Ototo Yoshiki for her beauty, she blew the wind in Ototo Yoshiki's ears every night, seducing Ototo Yoshiki to make her son the heir of the family. She felt ridiculous. Even if she fought now, what if she was fighting? She would die in the end?

Just thinking about it, it seemed that the reason she decided to fight for the position of family governor for her son was not for power. So what was it for? By the way, for survival. Whenever she saw the hostile look of the son of the ex-father's wife towards her and her children, she felt scared. He was worried that this person would be detrimental to their mother and son after inheriting the position of family governor. After several struggles, he simply decided to help his son fight for the position of family governor in order to protect himself.

"Madam, the guards came to report just now. Lord Echigo was escorting the coffin of the governor of the family to come here." At this time, the maid hurriedly came to report the report.
