Chereads / Samurai Army in Another World / Chapter 7 - Horns of Battle

Chapter 7 - Horns of Battle

Back on the road where John and his Samurai Army first entered the world, along the road, the John's soldiers had made shelters out of the abandoned carriages, if one would look from afar if they were crossing this road they would think a small make shift village was erected in the middle of the road. With the carriages turn over to the side the soldier took cloth that were found and draped them over one side of the carriage using sticks to support the drapes making a tent and carriages that have not been tipped over were used as mobile shelters and some of the soldier even slept in them. Some of the soldier made bonfire near their tents and roasted native animals that were hunted near by.

Johnson was with Oda and some of the top rank leaders of his samurai army discussing plans to move forward, all of them knew the forgotten goddess had sent them to support him in spreading her influence.

"We have to establish ourselves in this new world but first we need to settle and make a base for our army, I have run into several problem as commanding a army of several hundred thousand is not easy. We need food and well as shelter. Hopefully Tomoe can report back to us."

Oda nodded as the other commanders knew this was a issue as not a lot of animals were around the forest near by.Oda then spoke to Johnson with a concern tone.

"Johnson-dono, what if the native villagers Tomoe-san run across are hostile?"

Johnson gave a quick answer, "though our army is large we need to create a good reputation on this first encounter as we do not know the connections these native have with one another, we do not want to disturb a pack this early on. If we can gain their trust as well as their favor we can have them join us and create believers in Kanni-kami-sama erected temple further in the further. If we cannot help it we will make a example out of a few of the native to keep the rest in line if worst comes to worst we can kill them all and occupy the village ourselves but i prefer not to do that."

As they were talking about various matters regarding the future goals of their mission into this world task my Kami-sama, Johnson herd a familiar ring in his head and saw a screen pop up in front of him.

{Mission: Tomoe has come across a village attacked by a larger army. Tome has engaged in combat with the invaders to liberate the village from the opposition. Regroup with Tomoe and rescue the villagers as well as aid Tomoe in the defense}

[Reward: 10 Japanese architect, 3 religious monk (sent by Kami-sama), Samurai Historical Yasuke]

[Penalty: losing Tomoe Gozen and likely to summon a greater historical Japanese figure will lowered to 2%]

[accept]? [denie]?

The screen prompted Johnson. Johnson browsed furrow as he did not think he would run into yet another battle. Johnson was pleased as the reward as he would be given some help in building a base with the Japanese architect, monks were a good thing as it help further his promise to Kami-sama. (For those who don't know about Japanese culture, Kami is what Japanese use to say "god" or someone who is of a higher bring at the same level of a god) Johnson looked at the system interface and looked at the radar function. The map function is locked to Johnson dismay as he read the requirement [find map from native to unlock]. Looking at the radar function, Johnson saw that a dot of all the units, and people he summon in two different colors. Blue seemed to be position in the same position of Oda so he assumed that it is exclusive to historical figures as the rest of his soldier are all highlighted yellow dots on the radar. Seeing that the radar has a large coverage area he could see all of the soldier who have camped around and those who are patrolling as they moved on the radar. Johnson saw on the edge of the radar with several yellow dots as well as a blue dot. Looking in the location of the blue dot base on his location Johnson found that its the same direction Tomoe set out on to do her scouting. Assuming if he and his men set out in that location they would run into Tomoe and aid her. Pressing accept on the recent prompted mission Johnson looked at Oda and the high ranked men around him.

"Oda and the rest of you, seemed that Tomoe has run into a large group of combatants and in need of our aid, gather our men and we will head in the direction of Tomoe."

"At your command Johnson-dojo," everyone shouted and all started to leave to gather their forces.

Johnson looked at the accepted mission prompt and what made him curious was this new historical figure is Yasuke, I did not know much about Japan. Oda then turn to Oda and inquire.

"Oda, the reward for this endeavor, Kanni-sama will give us a historical figure from your country. Do you know a figure name Yasuke?"

Oda stared at Johnson is disbelief and surprise. Oda did not respond to Johnson question for a short moment then kneeled in front of him.

"Johnson-dono I will gladly help you in this task will my all as it will help me reunite with my favorite servant Yasuke-san, I will put all the enemies head on a pike and display it on the highest mountain if need be! I will complete this task!!"

Johnson smiled as he could tell this future companion is a figure who is close to Oda in his past life.

"Then let us set out."

......................

Magnus stared at the battlefield as the foreign enemies clashed against his ranks of soldier from their flanks. He was greatly surprise that a foreign power could nurture their army to a point where all of their soldier were aura masters. Victor who too was stunned as he could tell that they were hostile to the demon soldier which made him greatful inside.

Magnus looked down at Victor, "I really do need to end this, I will see you in the next life." Raising his sword high Magnus swunged down at Victor. Just as the Vlad came down, Victor close his eyes and accepted his fate. His goal to hold off the demon folk so their people could retreat was a fate worth dying for.

Clang! Kashhhhhh!

Waiting for his death but felt no pain, but instead heard the sound of clashing metal right in his face. He open his eyes to see that the blade of Magnus that was coming down on was blocked by a long one sided curved blade. Victor turned his head and follow the path of the sword to see it was connected to a long staff and was held by a warrior in gold plated armor. He did not know where this warrior held from but their armor was very bazaar, none like he ever seen so far in all the well known kingdom and countries. The warrior had golden metal plated which overlapped each other which was held together by colorful strings. The warrior face was covered by a mask which looked like a demon which was devilishly smiling at you and the helm had a bull shaped top endowed with a V shaped decor rested on the front of the helm. Victor obviously know this warrior was of high rank seeing the decor and effort put into the armor as it was someone of high nobility.

Magnus who had his blade blocked was surprise as he used infused aura into his swings. Those who which to parried or block his strike need to be on par with his aura or of higher aura. Magnus was alarmed as his focused more on his new opponent. Retracted his sword from the golden warrior Magnus leap back gained distance.

"My name is Magnus Deus, knight captin of the demon army. My I know the name of my foe and which he hail from?" Magnus bowed in respect and inquired as he gave respect only to those on par with his skill.

The golden warrior only looked at Magnus, without answer the warrior got into battle stance with its spear and dashed forward.

"Tsk, a brute with no manners," Magnus said with a displeased tone, as those who did not know the etiquette of nobility on the battlefield then they were savages in his eyes. Magnus dashes forward with his sword in tow as he swunged forward netting the golden warrior blades staff. Just as the staff was about to meet Magnus sword the staff was suddenly retracted as the golden warrior stepped to Magnus right side as the warrior swunged the staff with one hand creating a longer reach as the blade swiped to cleave Magnus legs. Magnus saw this and nodded his head at the warrior skill in doing faints like a teacher sparring with his student giving pointers. Obviously Magnus did not take the golden warrior in his eyes and in turn underestimate the warrior. Magnus intercepted the staff knocking the blade and driving it into the ground. Magnus used this this to leap forward as he held his blade forward at a point to impel his foe but the warrior acted fast. With the spear thrust in the ground the warrior run forward and leaped at Magnus, using the spear in the ground as a polvolt, the warrior sent two powerful kicks to Magnus chest causing two big dents in the breast plate, rupturing his organ as he spat blood from his mouth. The warrior landed and used the momentum from the motion and brought the staff up overhead and brought it down at a angle and stabbed Magnus shoulders. Magnus stumbled back grabbing his wound on his shoulders as the spear retracted and thrusted forward for another stab. Magnus quickly swiped his sword deflecteding the spear, only to give the warrior the momentum from the deflect thus Magnus was hit with the pummmel of the spear. Just as Magnus regain his sense as he saw stars from the hit he saw that the golden warrior was already rushing at him send a torrent of slashes at him. Like falling raindrops stabs, slashes and thrust rained down on Magnus to a point of only defending, but he could not block and counter all as he sustain many wounds from the exchange. Just as he was desperately defending he felt a cut on his right leg as it gave out forcing him to kneel. Looking down at the cut he saw that his tendons were cut making him have no control over the muscle movement in his leg to stand up. Feeling the coldness of steel on his neck pressing his head up he saw that the golden warrior was looking down at him. Magnus close his eyes, "It is my defeat," as his neck was sliced open as purple blood gushed out from the wound as he feel back dead.

Tomoe looked at the dead body of this grey skin and felt honor to battle though his skills were lacking, as many warriors from her country train to cope with the fierceness of the naginata. Tomoe looked at Victor who was still on the ground holding his wounds looking at her in astonishment.

"Thank you good sir for saving me," as Victor graves the hand offered by Tomoe and said I thank.

"It's my honor, are you perhaps the leader of this village?" Said Tomoe to Victor as the Victor looked at her in surprise with his mouth open.

"A female warrrior?"

.........................

Somewhere on the battlefield two soldier faced off against each other in the chaotic battle. One was a Red Horn Samurai and one was a soldier captin. Unlike Magnus, this soldier did not have as a oppressive aura as Sir Magnus but could still hold his own even though his aura is that of a lower grade. The captin looked at the Red Horn Samurai who looked right back at him with a blood lust aura of a crazed battle harden aura of that who killed thousands. Little does this captin know, is that the Red Horn Samurai infront of him, in the samurai former life, was a Elite honor guard who fought on the front lines at the battle of Shigihara, and saw the complete brutality of human nature of the battlefield.

The Red Horn Samurai said nothing but his blood lust aura said it all "give me your head," the demon soldier did not know what the samurai thought but he felt chills and a slight phantom coldness in his neck. The demon soldier and samurai circled each other looking for a moment to strike. Just as the demon soldier toes shift forward, even though it was so suddle and minute, the samurai saw it and lunges forward with a fast over head diagonal strike. The demon soldier was caught in surprise and he was about to strike but before he could get into a quick form the samurai was faster.

If people could compare fighting styles to of the Samurai and the Soldier they would say that the Samurai was like a hurricane and the knight was like a earthquake. The knight each stike was like a strike of a mountain shaking the earth and decimating everything that it landed on and the Samurai was like a hurricane that was so fast that even the winds hand to bend to katana will. However the comparison worked in the Samurai favor as not only was the strikes coming down on the demon soldier like thousand of wind strike but also the added power of a Aura Master, the demon soldier was slowly caving in.

The Demon captin had much difficulty landing a fatal hit on the samurai as it the samurai would just counter and dodge and each strike of the samurai was precise and fluid. Each time the samurai strikes the soldier just missed death by a hair but then had to deflect yet another attack.

The captin was Exhausted. The samurai made a side swipe at the demon meant to cut him in half in the mid-section. However the captin still had enough strength to lift his sword and angled it parallels to his body to block his left side. Having block it succesfully just left his right side open. Taking this opportunity the Red Dorn sent a side kick to his side throwing him a few feet away. The samurai dashed in the direction and of where the demon captin had fallen and stabbed down witis sword only to have the demon captin roll to the side evading the fatal stab. The Red Horn was irritated as this was the pattern of their exchange. The demons soldier would get parried and avoid a lot of his strike. Then the samurai thought of a idea making his lips curl. The Demon Captin exchange blows right when he was about to give up he found a opening in his foe pattern. Taking the chance the captin found a gap and thrust his blade through the red horn samurai chest. Making a relieve sigh but a sudden tug on his blade started him as he looked up only to see the red horn samurai smiling under his mask while a iron crip was holding the blade that impelled him. The red horn samurai tugged on the blade pulling him further close to the captin furthering impelling him all the way to the hilt. It was utter madness as the samurai still was standing while having a whole sword thrust through him smirking as he stared at his foe. Spatting a mouthful of blood in the captin face the samurai then took his katana and pierced through the demon heart. The demon captin stared down at his chest as the katana stabbed through him, the captin fell to his knees as the he looked up at the samurai who still had his sword lodged in his chest. What madness and suicidal move. That was the last thing he though as the samurai pull his sword out and and swing it down and decaptiated the demon. Finally gotten the head of his enemie he looked at the sword in his chest and hanked the blade out as he grunted in pain but he indured as blood spills from his wounds. Walking over to the head that was severed from his body he through the helmet that was still attached and locks of hair fell down as it was tied up in the captin's helm. Taking the hair of the hair he tied it into his silk belt wrap on his waist showcasing his price as it dangled from his waist like a ornament. What the captin did not know, is that the red horn samurai he fought was from the Shimazu Clan back in his former life as they were known for there tenacity and risilence and bitter drugged on the battlefield till their last breast and would be known on the battlefield as crazed battle junkies and lunatics as they will still charge at their enemies even if they had one arm and one leg to do it.

P.S. I did not spell check shit. Lol. Enjoy. I will post on here but if any wronging is done by Webnovel I will fully transfer to Inkitt.
