281. It is not allowed to desecrate righteousness.

When Huijin and Genichiro finished their meal and walked out of the tavern, the pompous drunkard was nowhere to be seen, not knowing whether he was found by his family or became a meal in the mouth of a monster...
Under the cover of darkness, it was the best time to gather information, so the two of them leaped and infiltrated Date Masamune's residence.
Even before the sun had set, the servants in the residence began lighting the lamps. Now, the courtyard is brightly lit, with samurai patrolling back and forth.
These ordinary people guarding are like no defense at all for Ashes, directly passing through quickly to the main hall.
A feast has already been set up here, with a one-eyed man sitting in a high position, and there are some vassals on both sides.
"Master, is this move too risky, abandoning the long-standing relationship with the Tokugawa family based solely on the hearsay of that blonde woman?" a retainer asked, puzzled.
"You don't understand. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is better to lend a helping hand when someone is in desperate need. Ishida Mitsunari is already at the end of his rope. If we raise arms at this moment, once we succeed, we will earn his gratitude."
"And moreover, Lady Tea is also starting to mobilize her troops. As long as she joins us, not only will it be justified, but we can also form a pincer attack on Tokugawa Ieyasu. Only then can we achieve great success."
Letting his subordinates argue below, the one-eyed Date Masamune quietly drank his wine, his own heart also not calm.
As the first counselor said, this is a high-stakes gamble, and once lost, it will be irreparable.
Moreover, Ieyasu is also not very trusting of the blond woman from Spain, as these foreigners are always driven by self-interest and there is no love without reason.
Therefore, while Date Masamune has already mobilized his troops, he is still tormented in his heart.
Setting down his wine glass, Date Masamune shouts to his vassals, "Enough, let's not talk about war today, let's enjoy this final moment of tranquility together."
The dancers began to take the stage, twisting their graceful figures to the music.
"It seems that the Spanish woman is not here," Ashes observed through the window, capturing the entire scene in his eyes.
Xian Ichiro nodded, he had also heard that the blonde woman had probably deceived Date Masamune and left.
"Teacher, what should we do now?"
"Since Date Masamune is struggling so much, let's deal with him along the way."
After finishing speaking, Ash pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.
The joyful atmosphere was shattered by the sound of the door being pushed, and everyone looked at Ash and Genichiro, the two uninvited guests.
Because of Genichiro's attire, Ieyasu saw at first glance that he was not a friend, but an unwelcome guest. He interrupted the servants' calls for guards and picked up a pheasant sword from the side, preparing himself sternly. Since these two could infiltrate silently, calling for guards would be useless.
After entering the hall, Huijin had no intention of taking action first, but directly asked Ii Naomasa, "Where is the Spanish woman now?"
"Are you here so late just to find a woman, sir?"
Ishida Masamune dared not relax at all. He came all the way here just to find a woman. Who would believe that?
"Finding that blonde woman is the main objective, but I can also take care of you along the way. It all depends on your attitude," said Huijin as he took a few steps forward and spoke loudly.
With the sound of ashes, Genichiro drew his sword, ready for an attack.
"If my guess is correct, the person behind you, sir, must be a warrior from Weina."
Although Yaname is a small town, it has recently shown its prowess in dealing with the demonic army led by Mitsunari Ishida. These samurais, who can ingest living flesh and heal at an astonishing speed, have also caught the attention of Masamune Date.
Ashes did not answer Iida Masamune's question, but instead directly informed him: "Using spirit stones to transform the army is an extreme approach and an unforgivable sin. Now, you have only two choices: either disclose the whereabouts of the Spanish woman and then withdraw the troops to surrender, or completely eliminate the demonic soldiers."
"Second..."
After seeing the ashes, Masamune Date curiously asked, "What is the second choice?"
"Hmph, when you don't choose the first one, the second option is something you don't need to know, because you no longer exist..."
Ieyasu Masamune's hand, holding the pheasant sword, becomes pale, which is a manifestation of anger. He has never encountered such an arrogant person before, even if it is Tokugawa Ieyasu who comes, he will not give such a choice.
However, Date Masamune is not a stupid person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to manage such a large territory. The other side only has two people, yet they dare to talk tough. Either they are foolish or they possess absolute strength, and they can certainly back up their words with actions.
Contrary to the Ashen pair, they don't seem foolish, so they must have something or someone to rely on in dealing with the situation.
Looking around him, Date Masamune saw silence in the hall, with both military officers and civil servants too afraid to speak up. There was no one brave enough to confront him, and his failure was truly complete...
"Clang," the chidori sword fell, not because Date Masamune voluntarily discarded it, but because Genichiro unleashed gravitational magic. If it weren't for Date Masamune's decent strength, he wouldn't have been able to maintain his balance, let alone hold onto his weapon."
Without weapons, what resistance can you offer? Iida Munenobu immediately fell to his knees and said, "I am willing to surrender and choose the first condition..."
"That Spanish woman, Maria, has already gone to Osaka to persuade Sanada Yukimura..."
"Good," Ashes nodded, accepting the surrender of the one-eyed dragon. "I'll give you three days to completely eliminate all the ghost soldiers, and then join the shogunate with your army."
With Maria's information, Ashes prepared to go to Osaka to meet with Hattori Hanzo and see if they could directly capture the person.
Genichiro revoked the gravity magic, and the scared servants crawled up from the ground. The first servant to speak patted his chest with fear, clearly having lost the gamble, but at least their lives were spared.
No delays, the next morning, Gray Ash set off, as for whether Date Masamune would go back on his word, Gray Ash didn't care. If he really betrayed again, he could be directly dealt with, giving him a chance and if he can't seize it, it's his own fault.
Osaka
Sanada Yukimura looked at Hattori Hanzo in front of him, feeling extremely conflicted. On one hand, he couldn't believe that Lady Chacha would resort to such evil means. On the other hand, a Spanish woman had already approached him, and he firmly rejected her and sent her away. Now, it is highly possible that she is trying to manipulate Lady Chacha...
"Chaos, chaos, who can finally pacify all of this..."
"My Lord, we cannot hesitate any longer. Once Lord Chacha falls under the spell, there will be no turning back," Hanzo Hattori continued to persuade Sanada Yukimura, urging him to make up his mind quickly.
"Bring this person temporarily detained until I return from Lord Chacha's place and make a decision!"
"Yukimura Sanada ultimately chose to stop Chacha. Although he is a loyal dog, he cannot allow the violation of righteousness."
