Chapter 338: The Great Battle
The rising sun slowly dispersed the nights darkness. As rays of sunlight showered upon the lands, sounds of preparations spread throughout the Oda army camp. Soldiers were busy cleaning or sharpening their weapons, those tiny noises converging into a low growl of a beast awaiting the chance to lunge.
The eight observed the soldiers in silence. Although Drako Yau could easily slay any Oda clan soldier, they seemed connected to form a monstrous being. He could sense the armys atmosphere as a whole instead of individuals when he closed his eyes.
Having such a powerful army fighting alongside them bolstered their confidence a fair bit. The battle between the two armies had little influence on Drako Yaus squad as their quest was to follow Oda Nobunaga deep into the enemy lines and kill Akechi Mitsuhide. Whichever army came out on top had nothing to do with them; they had an army to charge into regardless.
The quest appeared nearly impossible to complete. Even a brave and reckless person like Drako Yau had to give it his all for a slight chance of success.
Soon, the Oda army started mobilising. Ten thousand soldiers gathered into a square formation, forming five dark, neat squares. A person donned in a crimson cloak and mounted on a dark horse led the army. The cloak wavered behind him, carrying the cries and wails of all who had fallen to his brutal authority.
However, Oda Nobunaga was as merciful as he was brutal. He killed tens of thousands to end the cycle of slaughterhis brutality stemmed from mercy. As such, he was willing to risk his life to take on the beheading assault to cut down losses to his army as much as possible. Once Akechi Mitsuhide was dead, the Akechi army would crumble on its own.
Today! Oda Nobunaga shouted, his voice resounding throughout the continent under the effect of his internal force. Let us tread through hell together!
Ooh-rah!
Fifty thousand soldiers roared in synchrony. Their voices seemed to pierce the heavens.
Sound the war drums!
The drums deep thuds thundered all over, signalling the Oda armys advance. The battle was onthe armys morale was at its peak.
War drums sounded from afar just as the Oda army advanced. Unlike them, seven squares stood behind Akechi Mitsuhide.
Sniper Rifle Mastery boasted extraordinary attack range and damage by abandoning medium and close range combat capability altogether. Its basic attacks dealt twice the damage while its range was seven times that of ordinary rifles. Moreover, the longer the projectile travelled, the greater damage it dealt.
A typical rifles attack range in the game was around a hundred metres. Multiply that by seven, and itd be Hawks attack rangea whopping 700 metres! Such was the strength of the Metal Palace master.
The Metal Palace was known for its ability to perform charges, but its palace master turned out to be a sniper, a role that appeared to have little association with charging the enemy lines. However, the fact was Hawk always played a significant role by picking off valuable targets from afar.
While Hawk was setting up his sniping position with sandbags, Tong stood beside him with his arms crossed. Hawk entrusted his safety entirely to Tong; he was utterly incapable of defending himself in close range after all.
Now we wait for the fish to bite the bait Tongs lips curled upwards.
Akechi Mitsuhides dazzling appearance was all the more brilliant under the warm sunhe was the envoy of light.
Now, let us cleanse the world of the filthy Oda Nobunaga! Akechi Mitsuhide unsheathed his katana from his waist and led his army forwards on his white horse.
Akechi Mitsuhides army marched from the East, empowered by the rising sun behind their backs. Oda Nobunaga and his soldiers crept from the hell of darkness and charged toward the envoys of light as devils from Hell.
Time went by; it felt so long yet so short.
Square formations clashed against one another. Black and white, darkness and light, night and dayevery mismatch in the world confronted their nemesis for dominance.
The battle between two polars began.
