Pongoku Jidai{Warring States} (NSFW ANTHRO/HUMAN VIOLENCE)

@Tearval  
he had added to the preparations by readying a number of bamboo shields, which would blunt the charge of the cavalrymen as well, the few that made it through the gunfire that is.

@Cerebrate19  
The preparations would be needed since the Takeda had chosen a battlefield that would be beneficial to the calvary heavy army, seeking a swift decisive victory over the Oda to secure their southern boarder

@Tearval  
the field was just as beneficial to the oda gunmen. the moment the charge began, his soldiers would throw up th bamboo palisades and his men would fire.

@Cerebrate19  
The Takeda calvary shuddered under the fire but they still continued on their charge, archers firing volleys into the Oda defenders

@Tearval  
sure enough the barricades caught them, and the reward for the cavalrymen was more gunshots pouring their way.

@Cerebrate19  
The Takeda forces pulled back to regroup, their archers firing more into the oda defenses

@Cerebrate19  
As the Takeda fell into the trap, the very same changeling that had alerted Oda to the Takeda attack smiled from a hilltop observing the battle

@Tearval  
seeing as their legendary warlord had fallen earlier, and now painfully reminded that his son was not up to the task, the morale of the takeda wavered, and as they spotted what looked to be the only safe retreat route it was a rout, discipline collapsed and one by one the remainder were picked off.

@Cerebrate19  
“Masters Ebon and Starswirl will be pleased. I understand why they favored Lord Oda.”  
The Changeling smiled as the Takeda were finished off by the combined Tokugawa and Oda forces

@Tearval  
“then we should waste no time to make our report, these two allied clans are going to move on the capital soon. they only wait for a political reason to present itself. either the masters invite them, or one of the bluebloods will.”

@Cerebrate19  
“We leave now. The branch family must not sit on the throne. Though I am worried about those ‘griffins’ being reported by the southern clans.”

@Tearval  
“that will be for a daimyo to deal with, the master will need all information we can get.”

@Cerebrate19  
He nodded and motioned for his companion to leave to the capital at once

@Tearval  
in a blur they disappear.

@Cerebrate19  
Back in the Capital Ebon read their report quite pleased with the breaking of the Takeda. Setting the scroll down, he laughed watching Celestia chase Luna around under the watchful eye of Starswirl. Writing a missive, he wanted to invite Nobunaga to the capital to celebrate his victory

@Tearval  
a few days later the already well known pair of Daimyo would indeed show up, in their entourage a few names spies would identify as noteworthy(the adjective, not the pony.).
 
in specific names like twilight Star, flash magnus, Stygian, Belladonna Lulamoon, Hanzo Hattori and not to be forgotten the famed architect of the west Hideyoshi.

@Cerebrate19  
Ebon heart left the two girls under the care of the council as he greeted Nobunaga. Waving a hand he ordered the Honor Guard to relax “Congratulations are in order Nobunaga, your victory over the Takeda was a shock to some in the court.”  
Ebon hinted to Nobunaga and Tokugawa, that some in the Imperial court had backed the Takeda

@Tearval  
“the empress oft preached about the perks of friendship, a single ally you can consistently trust, beats out cavalry, gunman and Samurai alike.”

@Cerebrate19  
“Very true, she lived by that code though some don’t believe that unity can bring about victory.”

@Tearval  
“yet here we are, i look forward to working together.”

@Cerebrate19  
Ebon nodded and stepped into a private room  
“I’m sure you’re tired and hungry from your journey, shall we relax then talk business?”

@Tearval  
the two daimyo nod, dismissing most of their entourage.

@Cerebrate19  
“I will not lie. The Blublood clan was hoping you both would perish.”  
Ebon stated taking a seat motioning for them to take a seat. Pouring some sake he laughed a bit  
“And I won’t lie, it does please me that you crushed the Takeda so completely.”

@Tearval  
“were they now, how unsurprising, every clan wants to see every other clan dead, we have no delusions here, honored daimyo.”
