nobunaga pulled out his katana halfway and shouted, ”Based on linted as he looked around and loudly said, ”I adoe, and resolution Can the Young Master Koichi admit that he can defeat my sword? If not, can you confidently request for the enemy to leave in comfort? On the battlefield, only the sword speaks!”
He then pulled out a thin katana and held it with both hands as he said, ”May God Bless the Hakone warriors!”
The Shogun’s expression sank, and he looked unhappy He was about to speak when Koichi stood up with his chest held high Koichi looked at the Thousand Rider General’s face and said, ”nobunaga, do you truly insist on doing this?”
nobunaga remained silent and solemnly nodded
”Good!” Koichi loudly shouted He turned around to look at the Shogun and said, ”Father, since the Thousand Rider General has said this, I a to accept this condition! We will duel The winner will go to the South!”
The audience was in an uproar
Rody saw everyone’s reaction and was certain that Koichi was definitely not at nobunaga’s level Everybody’s astonished reaction has already demonstrated this point
Nedis also frowned, ”I am a bit confused Isn’t Koichi already the commander?”
Rody narrowed his eyes as he looked at Koichi He then looked at nobunaga He had always felt like the two of thereement He then moved over to Nedis’ ears and whispered, ”Quiet! Looks like we are going to see a good show here today!” He paused and then looked at Yukinari He then quietly said, ”If soer Kikukawa Make sure he is safe”
”What about you?” Nedis could not coer said anything
nobunaga looked at Koichi and loudly said, ”Young Master Koichi, I aht is weaker co everybody here knows Even if I win, there is no glory!” He had a hideous expression as he coldly said, ”Why don’t you pick soainst me? If one of your people can defeat er coently smiled, ”Look, the play has started!”
Nedis secretly pulled Yukinari to her side feeling puzzled What kind of trick were Koichi and nobunaga doing?

Koichi stood there perfectly calun looked iamble the position of commander?”
The three of therunted, apparently feeling dissatisfied However, everybody was looking at hirit his teeth and said, ”Then, I shall prorant your request May God bless the Hakone warriors!”
Everybody then left their seats and e space was opened up in the ainst the door His expression was unreadable
In the ainst each other They slowly drew out their katanas
nobunaga gently stroked his blade and said, ”My Murasaift from His Majesty! It has drunk the blood of countless warriors You’d best be careful”
The other warrior looked indifferent and clenched his oeapon However, when Rody looked at his frozen expression, it was as if he could feel a soleht suddenly flashed through Rody’s mind Could it be…
