Izumo Headquarters in Goryeo
In the quaint and ancient-fashioned office, Inoue Seiichi finally met the Commander—Hayashi Senjuuro.
Behind the thick, large solid wood desk sat a frail, elderly man.
His large, protruding ears were paired with an unusually small head, making him look particularly comical.
Inoue Seiichi immediately realized that the army general before him had "goblin" blood.
"Goblins" were the native inhabitants of a few islands in the southeast, known to be lazy, stupid, and particularly vicious; having such lineage was not something to be proud of.
Yet, the person before him was the commander of the Izumo forces here and was also a confidant of the Emperor.
Inoue Seiichi dared not look any further and hastily focused ahead, standing at attention and giving a military salute.
Hayashi Senjuuro said with a warm smile, "Welcome to Goryeo, Lieutenant Inoue."
The broad desk was filled with various documents; he was busy with preparations for the upcoming war.
