The Uesugi men came back with Gengyo, albeit reluctantly. They made camp with the men that night, just as the Takeda soldiers had done before them, and they were surprised to find that there was no animosity from amongst the men. They had known from the start that their Lord would be sure to recruit the enemy if they were given the opportunity. And many of them had been enemies themselves at one point. They were welcomed.
They were given soft sleeping mats to rest their head, and many fell asleep almost immediately, when darkness had only been in their presence a short while.
They fires licked at the night sky, reminding the nearby villages of their presence, and of the fate that they had avoided when Kenshin had been defeated.
