Tsutsujigasaki-yakata (躑躅崎館), Headquarters of the Takeda Clan
Province of Kai

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"
More than two thousand crimson-armored soldiers of Takeda exercise their skills.
Their chants are in unison; their minds are one - to invade as rapidly as wild fire.
The strength of Takeda recovers extremely fast, thanks to Takeda Takenobu's legendary bonus, ops, legendary management skills.
It is time for another invasion.

"My lord, the intelligence from Echigo has arrived. Nagao Kagetora has boarded ships in Naoetsu port three days ago."
Advisor Yamamoto Kansuke spoke by Takeda Harunobu's ear.

"Let's wait a bit longer, or Nagao Kagetora could turn back. But the plan with the Ikkos can go ahead."
"Yes, my lord. I shall travel to Echizen."
"Hold on. I think Commander Shimotsuma Raishu cannot make the decision this time. But, we don't have time to let him ask headquarter Ishiyama Honganji."
"Yes, my lord. Grandmaster Honganji Shoyo is too kind to initiate a war with Nagao in a hurry. We have to create a situation to force Shimotsuma into war with Nagao."
"Jinbo."
"That's exactly what I think, too, my lord. Jinbo Nagazumi was so smart that he spent one year to chase after Nagao Kagetora and still failed. We can tell him to do anything for us."
"Good. Let's do this..."

Takeda Harunobu closed his eyes while he reveals his plot.
Jinbo is now a loyal follower of Nagao. But that can be worked to Nagao's disadvantage.

"My lord, your cunning mind is unmatched in the Sengoku Jidai."
"There are many smart men out there. I can only hope so."

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"
The soldiers have been well trained.
And their time is about to come.

"Kagetora, you leave a weakness to me, and I shall bite. You want to play fair, but nobody else does in Sengoku. That's why you will meet your end."
Takeda Harunobu looks north - many beautiful mountains stand in his view to Echigo.
