28 Preparations for War (1/2)
It took a couple of hours to convince them to migrate some people over to my side. Honestly, it would have been easier to just kidnap them but it would leave a bad taste in my mouth, and those that I took wouldn't be loyal to me.
In the end, this was the best choice, I would take in the crippled, and orphaned as well as thoughts that want to leave but have no prejudice against Nekoshou. This war had left many children abandoned and others who want to leave so I'm expecting a large harvest.
Next was the plan of attack. In one week my assault team will head to their main base under the Kyoto Tower while they take out their supply depots. They plan to finish this war soon so we could only come up with this. They'll split their forces into 4 teams divided among their whole army. 20% will stay to defend their base, another 15% will assist me at the tower, and 40% each will attack the supply depot. The last 5% will stay on call in case one of the teams needs reinforcements.

Yu - Well that's all we can do for now I'll see you in a week.
I got up from the table and was about to teleport out when Yasaka called out to me.
Yasaka - Hyoudou-dono wait I need to ask... what faction are you in?
Everyone stretched their ears to listen to my reply and I can only smile lightly.
Yu - I belong to no faction I represent myself and myself alone, I don't plan to be under anyone.
And like that, I left.

{Yasaka's Pov:}
Yasaka - No faction...
This reply confused me, from what I could see he is strong but it isn't normal strength that can be gained without a backer. And yet he says he has no one behind him assisting it. I began to think that it was the Nekoshou that are supporting him but everything I saw him do doesn't aline with the knowledge we have on Nekoshou.
Mind attacks, dematerialization, instant teleportation. These things were not something a Nekoshou can do at least not without a magic circle. Plus skills like these need years of practice and he doesn't look older than 15 but my instincts tell me he's younger than that.
He may seem cunning and manipulative but I can somehow sense that this is just a facade of his. If it wasn't then he why would he help my daughter, why would he help us, and why would he be so passionate when talking about his family. I can tell that he is also a caring boy who may do things in an unorthodox way but will never harm those who are innocent.
The meeting had already ended and right now I'm taking care of my daughter who seems to have exhausted herself while these thoughts take up my mind.
I had originally wanted her to stay away from the violence; it was my fault for keeping her in the mansion. A young girl like her can't be cooped up in a house, so I can understand her reasons for sneaking out. I just hope this experience doesn't affect her.
*Swoosh*
??? - Faction Leader Yaska.
Yasaka - !!!
A cold sweat came down my back, I turned around and saw Hyoudou-dono's companion but what frightened me was her stealth abilities. I was only able to sense her when she was right behind me.
Yasaka - How did you get here? Shouldn't you have left with Hyoudou-dono already?
Magari - Yu-sama told me to deliver this to you since it's classified information, and as for how I got here it's with the help of Yu-sama that I'm here. Now that my job is done I bid you good night.
*Swoosh*
Like that she left and I stood in the room with Kunou still sleeping behind me and a letter in my had. Gazing at the later I wondered what to do but in the end still opened it. The letter only had three pages and the first said.
[Your faction has been infiltrated. Here is a new change in the plans keep it a secret from these people]
The second page had a drawing of two of our council members and the third had the changes made.
