The Sended's

Chapter 22: To Main Objective I Sail on my way Now

after days passed since Kyouka was working on his project in the South, Ryuu finally finished gathering 12,000 Empire-trained warriors in the Goryeo peninsula

He has also moved transport ships to the Goryeo and Yamato straits, now he is just waiting for the arrival of Kyouka

Kyouka came the day after her preparations were finished, as soon as she came straight to Ryuu's place to ask about the mission that would be bestowed on her

"Excuse me," Kyouka said as she opened the door of the room

"Yuka! Is your work good?" Ask Ryuu

"Yes, no problem, then about the mission you said first...."

"I'll explain now,"

As is known, Yamato Island was already completely controlled by the Hojo clan after going through various bloody battles that were not less chaotic than in Ming or other old Imperial territories

Now that peace had come to the land, the leader of their clan was paranoid and did not believe in anyone else outside of his clan, outside of Yamato

Sakoku's policy was made, shutting Yamato island off from the outside world. No stranger could enter, not even the emperor

They build marine defenses in strategic places like on the coast that Ryuu will use as a landing zone

"Your mission is to mess with this defense, before you said you wanted to change and try to kill people, right?"

"I said I would change and kill if necessary! You say it like I'm trying to be a serial killer!" Jata Kyouka was upset

"Haha. You go in there with a company, then screw them up,"

The point is, Ryuu wants to make Kyouka the key to victory in the first battle

"What do you mean?" Ask Kyouka

"If you fail, me and the other 12,000 soldiers will most likely die,"

"Huh?!! Then why are you pointing at me?!" Kyouka is hysterical again

He kept raving about how he was going to fail, it seemed like Kyouka was indeed lacking in confidence

"I don't want this mission to fail, ya...,"

"Then don't choose me as the leader!" Kyouka's still a beard fire

"Then don't fail."

Ryuu takes Kyouka out to the ship he will use for this mission, Ryuu also brings together Kyouka and the members he will bring. They are the most trained of the others

Then Kyouka saw that three ships had just arrived, and he asked Ryuu. Apparently the ship was from Asagi and his old coalition in the South. Ryuu said that his Empire still did not have a good design for the ship, so instead of using the old design to build why not just buy the finished one?

Ryuu bought all the ships belonging to the daimyo and asked him to be sent here, that is how he got enough transportation to ride 12,000 soldiers

"Ryuu..."

"Don't do it, I believe you'll make it,"

Hearing Ryuu, Kyouka was a little excited again

"Well, if you're lucky anyway." This sentence makes Kyouka drop back.

Kyouka scolded Ryuu for relying on a plan that relied on luck as its basis

But he remembered something important

"Yes!! We'll make it!!" now Kyouka said excitedly and confidently

Ryuu doesn't know what he means but he's happy that Kyouka is gaining his confidence, so he doesn't have to keep persuading her....

Then only the departure, the strategy began to be distributed to small groups in the army

Yamato's army was divided into seven groups as before, where in each group was also divided into several parts which were then further divided into the smallest group of seven soldiers or a squad

Ryuu invites Kyouka and the rest of the soldiers to explain his strategy,

"On needing this luck, I'm not messing around" Ryuu said

The location that made the landing of Kyouka special forces is a cliff on the edge of the sea, of course this requires great luck and even the possibility is very small

The reason is because the waves there are very strong, most likely the ship owned by Kyouka will crash and hit this cliff

Even so, actually at this location, the waves could be calm because they hit a nearby rock

But it all depends on the height of the sea. When the sea water is high, the waves will be faster and hit the ship, but when the sea water is low then the ship could be stranded on the reef

It needs the right water level to be able to perform this mission. It was actually a very difficult mission, but Ryuu gave it to Kyouka for some reason

He wanted Kyouka to feel the pain in this life, to be in a situation where only God would decide his fate. What he doesn't know is the ability Kyouka the God gave him....

"Alright Kyouka, go, go" Ryuu said right after explaining this plan

"Eh? Now?" kyouka asked confused

"Of course now, we'll catch up tomorrow" Ryuu replied

Kyouka and the rest of the soldiers headed to the dock and boarded the first ship to cross the strait separating Yamato from the mainland

On the crowded dock were already many large ships leaning back, they were preparing to travel later

For now, there's only one who's left the dock, Kyouka's

Their landing site is behind the Hojo sea defense line, precisely in the southernmost part of Yamato

Ryuu sees Kyouka's departure feeling a little guilty for giving him that near-impossible mission, he stands by the shore, watching the ship slowly disappear on the horizon

《Ryuu POV Start》

Well. I feel a little guilty about this, even though I want to replace his role. But suddenly he agreed and it confused me

But now is not the time to think about such a thing, the dice have already been thrown and are now still spinning on the table waiting for the final result when it stops

"Command them to march" I said to my general

"Understand, emperor," he replied

During the war in the North first, I liked to use a sword to keep up with my hot rifle

Even almost half of my victims I killed using the sword, the rest using other weapons such as rifles, pistols, sometimes enemy weapons are also used, even objects that are near me like rocks or even with bare hands though

Since I am the emperor now, I can do anything. I ordered a sharp katana from the best forger I will bring to this war

I opened a box containing the sword, and raised it with my right hand

I pulled the sword from the scabbard and stuck my index finger into the blade

When I saw it again, my finger had a cut and was bleeding a little from it. This sword is really sharp

Then I put on a pink kimono that only reached my hips, while I wore a short red skirt. This is not the way an emperor dresses, is it? I actually prefer this, compared to those thick, very hot clothes....

"Emperor, the army is ready" said my servant from my doorstep

"Yes, I'll be right out" I replied

As I headed towards the beach, there were already 20,000 soldiers lined up neatly facing me

It has not been counted how long I have been in this world until I get the position I want, only a few moments until I master it

Before fighting, the leader would certainly say a few words to burn the spirit of his troops

But the morale of my army is high because it has never lost, and I will try to never lose

So maybe they don't need anything like that, after all they'll win whatever happens there

Although I think so....

"What is emperor?"

"Eh? The emperor fought?"

"Don't be a fool, he himself is a good fighter,"

"Well, if you look at it again, she's pretty too"

"Are you looking to die? Stupid,"

"But if the emperor comes along, isn't there a chance that he might die?"

"What's more of that outfit?"

Though far ahead of them, I could still hear their whispers. Many were wondering why I was fighting, so I should just explain

"My name is Tadashii Ryuu, or Tokuhime Oda, whatever you want to call me. I am the first emperor of the Yamato Empire, and let me fight with you guys so you don't let me down when I come back here

It's better to let me down on the battlefield so I can fix it right away, but I hope you won't let me down, will you? Then, just get inside your ship! We hit the Hojo's men on their shores!"

Not a good speech, but at least they know why I fought

Even though I had made the plan, but the reality did not always go straight with expectations, at that time, I could reorganize my strategy

The ships on the dock started to depart one by one towards Yamato, each ship carrying the best soldiers from the Empire who were ready to die for me

I myself was on a Destroyer-class ship owned by one of the clans in Goryeo, and was in the middle of the current fleet

Seeing this scene, I remembered the Mongolian invasion of Japan

The Mongols, who had conquered China, wanted to expand their territory to the East. They invaded Japan

The first invasion failed as the Mongol fleet was swept away by tornadoes in the ocean, these tornadoes were referred to by the Japanese as Kamikaze or God wind

But what they did not know was that the Mongols not only launched an invasion once, but two

The second Mongol invasion destroyed the Japanese defenses on the coast and clashed with the samurai

But it still ended in failure as the Kamikaze tornadoes at sea swept through their logistic ships so that the troops on land now had nothing to eat

This ended with the return of the Mongols to mainland Korea, never again came to invade Japan

Remembering this, instead of being afraid, I became excited to face the tornado felt by the Mongols first

I will not let the power of God prevent me from becoming the ruler of the world

It won't. yes, it won't.....

"Emperor? Are you awake?"

Eh? When did I fall asleep? I should still be at the table and looking at the map of Hojo territory right?

Then I realized that if I slept on that table, this damn thing made my body hurt all over

"Yes, I'm up, come in,"

Two maids entered my room on this ship, they brought me a change of clothes while I was on board

"How is he doing?" much

"The general said that in three hours we will see the land of Yamato" replied one of them

"Then please prepare these clothes for that long huh...,"

"Understand, Emperor,"

Immediately after putting on those clothes, I went out and saw the ocean filled with Imperial ships

I inhaled the sea air that had never been smelled since my second reincarnation, to be honest I was very happy

I remember Victoria and Otto, how they are now....

To think of it as anything, Victoria certainly had a high rank, and Otto must have had a terrible shooter reputation

It's been a while since I left my crew in Germanica, are they still fighting now?

I put that aside first, now I can see Yamato from afar. So no tornadoes or anything like that, huh?

I think he's trying to make it easier on me, huh? Maybe the gods aren't as bad as I thought
