The Castle Hidden In the Shadows

[Kayame]

Sai. I require your help.
Bows head*

 

[Yoshitsune]

"yes my queen. i know that we are on the brink of war. and as acting supreme commander of the available Minamoto army and naval fleet and a general within your forces. you have my sword. what are your orders?"

 

[Kayame]

Let us discuss this in my office .
Walks to my office with my hand on my stomach *

 

[Yoshitsune]

-sai walked behind kayame.- "are you okay?"

 

[Kayame]

Nodds and smiles *
My son is just acting up. See.
Places Sais hand on my stomach *

 

[Yoshitsune]

-sai chuckles- "demon children can be a hassle even before they are born."

 

[Kayame]

Indeed they can.
Sits down in my office *
Please have a seat Sai.

 

[Yoshitsune]

-sai sat across from kayame- "okay here we are. on to business. how can i help?"

 

[Kayame]

We need to figure out out battle plan.
Lays out a map of the entire underworld *

 

[Yoshitsune]

sai looks at the map. "right now castle is our primary defense. we have to establish a perimeter. i can re-station my troops here and keep a part of the fleet at the harbor. i can have scouts keeping a look out for shinagami movements around the area."

 

[Kayame]

I see. That would be perfect . There army is large so they will probably attack from all sides . I will have my demons line behinde you and around this half if the castle . I'll have the rest be hidden within trees and such for a surprise attack .

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Ryun: -appears in the office and stands next to kayame-

 

[Yoshitsune]

"we can position archer platoons on the castles ramparts and set up a water brigade in case they bring catapults. i'll set up reserve cavalry and cavalry archers in the forest to set up for flanks. there is also a new battalion i had established and im dying to try them on the field. i'm confident they will change the way we fight forever."

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Ryun looks at the map of the underworld. "Im not so confident that this plan will work..."

 

[Kayame]

What do you think will work Ryun ?
Looks up at him*

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Ryun looks at kayame. "Dont get me wrong, this is a solid plan....only one major flaw in it, that could mean life or death...." He looks back at the map. "He said he was after me, right?"

 

[Kayame]

Nodds *
Yes that is correct. That is why we will protect you.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Ryun sighs. "This isnt going to be a traditional war kayame, im going to have some of my men help guard the inner castle."

 

[Kayame]

Nodds *
Okay, that sound good.
Looks down at my stomach and holds it*

 

[Yoshitsune]

"are you suggesting a bait and trap method?"
