There were those who gained influence through their might, and fear, then there were those who simply used their charisma to gain respect and gaining trust. All in all, in whatever way leaders used, they were all now united under a common cause, and agreed with Nobunaga as he overhead his voice bellow around him, "Such a foolish enemy, do they not know who they face?!".
It was true, with the combined forces of the Coalition, they would regret attacking on their homeland. Wherever they came from, they'd be screaming to return back. "What fools! We have them right where we want them", turning to Nobuchika, as he watched him lifting his sword with the Ashigaru following. A smile appeared, before strumming his shamisen to avoid the situation getting tense while they waited for the enemy to come.

Event Turn Results: Coalition was pretty much in shambles although a few of them were doing their parts. Nobunaga was, although distastefully, leading the samurai unit placed under him. While Motochika was inspiring his men he also released his level 1 Critical Strike against the encroaching Foreign Invaders.
Chosokabe Motochika- Lvl 1 - Strums his shamisen as sound bubbles form with explosive energy. Will pop if hit any enemies (due to nature of attack, can use every other post, with possibility of allies being hit also)
While the Shogun's unit takes the full brunt of the advancing enemy force, Oda's assists and they seem to be holding the enemy off for now. Hintsune Juyian's unit also attempts to boost allied morale while her unit sits and waits. The rest of the coalition is not doing much and likewise, Saito Dosan's unit is waiting for the right time to strike.
Note- The Foreign longbowmen will move into range to attack the Shogun this turn.

"Hold fast!" The Shogun cried out. As the volunteer forces were fighting strong against these foreigners. However, he did not know that most of the volunteers were not even fighting. This would prove troublesome for the coalition. His units continued to fight strongly as he sat upon his steed watching. Unbeknownst to him, the enemy longbowmen would be in range this turn. If they come into range they will have free fire to shoot arrows onto the Shogun's force as well as Hisahide himself.

Realising the almost certain threat, Hintsune Juyian ordered her cavalry unit to make a move. Unit A would start advancing at a somewhat faster pace, but not a charge just yet, as to distract the Swordsmen but also to hopefully act as the Vanguard of the army. Cavalry B would swing around to avoid where all the main forces were fighting and with it being such a small force she hoped to attack little attention. They would move at at a slightly faster pace, aiming to get around the enemy army unnoticed. This would give them a good view of the enemy commander (if there was one) and would also give them access to plow into the back of the enemy ranks next turn.
Hintsune Juyian would also use her Hex ability so that the archers would take this turn and next to get into range, in an attempt to protect the Shogun. This would also work on the Swordsmen, meaning they would be unable to effectively charge this turn.

"So they have come", as he lifted his shamisen high and strummed as the sound bubbles shot out of the drum and towards the invaders, before the two sides clashed together with the Shogun. With himself and Nobunaga working side-by-side with the Shogun at the frontline, he wondered how the other members of the coalition was going.
Though they were all united under a common cause, it would be interesting to see how all the members of the coalition fight and how strong the Shogun was. He was surprised that they had no engineers as they would of been useful. Even Zhuge Liang had left with a small army consisting of mostly engineers and had won a victory from what Nobuchika told him.
Nevertheless, they would be repelled and remember the day that the combined power of Japan's Greatest Heroes pushed them back. "It is time for the bat to unleash his fangs. Nobuchika", as Nobuchika looked up to his father, "Follow my lead".
He then charged forward, held out his shamisen, "I am Motochika Chosokabe", as he lifted his shamisen into the air as his eyes glared at the enemy infront, "Be Gone!", swinging it before thrusting and strumming hard against the strings as a soundwave erupted, heading straight for the enemy, popping all the inactive bubbles (Lvl2 Critical Strike activated with Lvl1's effects in motion).
Nobuchika grinned, "Let's move out. Just as we've practiced", as he charged forward leading the way, in order to take the pressure off the Shogun. He was interesting in what Nobunaga would do. If not for curiosity, but see what he was made of, since they did share similar name. However, he had his job to do, as he took out his numchuks, "Remember! Thrust! Pull!", he barked, before he rushed in himself so that his father had him and his portion of the army round him (seeing that Motochika moved away from them for the critical strike to be successful to avoid hitting allied units), whacking his numchuks left and right, before twirling round and thrusting his left into the enemy's abdomen, before being joined by the ashigaru that he had quickly trained with their spears joining the frey.
Though Ashigaru were not the strongest, their strongest asset is their numbers and if they all worked together, then they could be all stronger than a samurai. Fortunately for them, these foreigners weren't as strong, and didn't seem toa act as a single unit which the Chosokabe aimed to do, as each followed Nobuchika's orders..thrusting, then pulling back for those behind to thrust, before once again pulling back with the next row thrusting with the cycle ongoing. It was this way, so each could unleash their might before recoupering such strength to commit to another thrust, with the row behind remaining on defence for when they pull back.

Nobunaga easily recognized Juyian's movements to flank the longbowmen. He was proud of his general, she was both beautiful and devious. In truth, Nobunaga only valued those that could prove themselves useful and Hintsune Juyian had well proven herself by now, she was sure to do so here as well. The Samurai placed under him, although they disliked him, were fighting valiantly. His methods were cruel, but effective.
Oda Nobunaga was at the head of his units of Samurai, he slashed through multiples of the foreign invaders as an evil laugh came out of him. "They stand no chance, whether the other volunteers arrive or not. It is the Oda that will form the outcome of this battle." He said, as his eyes were in the direction of Juyian's forces before returning to slay a few more of the enemy forces. His Samurai were fighting full heartily, probably in fear of Nobunaga.

Event Turn Results: If not for the Chosokabe and the Oda forces, the Coalition would surely be in shambles. They however, would not allow Japan to fall to these Foreign Invaders. Chosokabe's appointed is fighting with all its heart, due to Chosokabe Motochika being a valiant and noble leader. Motochika also continues to unleash sound bubbles to attack the enemies from his shamisen. While Oda Nobunaga leads his appointed Samurai unit strongly. Taking the enemy head on with the Shogun, Hisahide Matsunaga.
Hintsune Juyian splits her appointed Cavalry units into two groups. The first group smashes into the enemy forces assaulting the main vanguard of the Coalition. Causing panic into the Foreign Invaders lines as her Cavalry rushes through them killing a lot of their soldiers. This Cavalry has advanced about half-way through the foreign invaders and will pop out on the other side of their lines next turn. The other half of her Cavalry units are fast approaching the enemy longbowmen and will be in range to charge them this turn. Juyian also uses her 'Hex' ability to slow down the entirety of the foreign invaders forces. It is super effective!! However, Hintsune Juyian will not be able to move this turn or the next, due to the massive effect it had on the foreign invaders.

-Hisahide Matsunaga, Shogun
Seeing Nobunaga's and Motochika's units fighting strong increased his own spirit. Forcing his own units to fight more valiantly. After slaying a handful of the foreigners he noticed Hintsune Juyian's appointed Cavalry units cutting through the ranks of the main bulk of the enemy force. "Wonderful!" He said out loud. The Oda were truly proving themselves here today as well as the Chosokabe. The rest of the Coalition would lower his morale if not for them, they were lazy and did not even act yet.

It was a beautiful sight, seeing Juyian decimate the enemy force ahead of him and the Shogun. She was the head General of the Oda forces and it shown. With morale surely to rise, Nobunaga continued the slaughter of the foreign invaders and ordered his Samurai to charge. The Oda would suck all of the glory out of this battle and prove to the world that the Oda banner was truly the strongest and was not an enemy that one would want.
His blade not only cut many of the foreigners in half, but spat blood over his armor. His black armor was now shining red in the sunshine. The day was growing late and the heat was growing as well. Though a slight breeze broke the intensity of the sweat and the sun ever so often. The cool breeze made it easier for the Samurai and Nobunaga to continue their slaughter of the foreign invaders. They truly would know the might of the Oda. Unfortunately, Oda Nobunaga would of much rather of brought his own forces here today, but that would of only broke the Coalition more. This coalition was laughable, even with all of these forces gathered, it still came down to the Oda to stop these invaders. With help from the Chosokabe, they were proving to be the only true match for him. In all of Japan, Nobunaga only viewed the Chosokabe as any real challenge. Not even the Shogun, Hisahide Matsunaga, would gain that honor.

It had seemed that her main Cavalry unit's charge had been more then effective, and that all eyes and praise were on her because of it. They may not have been troops of the Oda, but they were troops under her command regardless, and it showed. Furthermore, her smaller Cavalry unit had gotten into range of the enemy archers and were yet to be detected by the looks of things, as they had not yet been engaged. If that wasn't enough, her Hex ability had been by far stronger then usual, perhaps as a result of her training her had gained with it. This more then helped the coalition forces, while surely putting these foreigners into confusion. They were wrong to ever oppose us. Oda lead the way like a bright star, and she intended to make that star even brighter.
Her main Cavalry unit that had just lead the charge and formed at the front of the allied forces (Cavalry A) would continue their charge, slaying many as they would go, hoping to pierce a line in the enemy ranks whilst also splitting the enemy into two smaller and easier to deal with groups, instead of their currently organised large group. They would also chant out "Charge!" as they did so, over and over, in hope of getting the rest of the allied forces to follow their lead and charge with them.
Her smaller ambush unit (Cavalry B) had the enemy Longbowmen right where they wanted them. Using their position and the enemies lack of speed due to Hex to their advantage, They would plow right into them, only charging to startle and confuse, and then stopping their charge to engage in melee combat, showing their prowess as they did so.

A thin smile crept upon Motochika's face, as the large foreign forces crumbled before their might, as his units each followed what they had been taught by his son while Nobuchika charged in to lead the way while he remained mounted ontop of his horse and watching as the enemy forces fell to everything Japan had to offer, Japan's strength and Japan's love, whether it was music, or teapots.
Despite the successes that he and his son was making, aswell as the work that Oda and his general Hintsune, were doing. Yet where was the Fuma, Dosan Saito, and most importantly, his brother? Nevermind the forces of the Neo-Shinto or the Fuma, it was his own forces that were currently on his mind. He temporarily pulled back from the frontline, leaving it to his son, while he turned to one of the men, "As an appointed leader of the Coalition selected by the Shogun, and his liege and elder brother, I command that Chikayasu's forces immediately dispatch. We cannot afford fighting against two fronts. Should he feel inept, then I shall take over". The Neo-Shinto and Fuuma were the least of his priorities right now, despite being a leader of the Coalition, it was his task after all to make executive decisions and this was one of them, and knew that Chikayasu would comply with his orders, though the Fuuma and Neo-Shinto seemed to be more to themselves. Nonetheless, it seemed the Chosokabe and the Oda would be the shining stars in this battle, fighting side-by-side, but for how long?
Pulling the reigns of his horse, he turned away as the guard left to Chikayasu's unit while he returned to his unit, "You fight for your home. You fight for your country. Unleash your fury upon them. Push forward! Keep fighting, until history swallows you whole", plucking a few strings before his eyes sharpened as he looked on, "My soul, pulses, with the rhythm of battle. I believe it is time, for the bat, to bare his fangs. Prepare, to have your soul, shaken"
[/color], as his grip on his reigns grew tighter as he bellowed, "Make way!", as he rushed back to the frontline, before taking a leap with his horse into the air, seeing Nobuchika lash out below to make the space for him, as he placed his shamisen on his back while in midair, before unsheathing his katana and thrusting it in an enemy officer soon after landing, his cool cold eyes looking into the man he had just pierced as he too looked into his, "My fangs, sink in deeper yet...You're gone!", as he then turned round to hit another and block an attack that was aimed towards him, which he merely humphed to, "Your time in this realm, and this land, is finished", joining his son as the units under the Chosokabe pushed on.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] Actions: Motochika, as a leader of the coalition, orders the immediate movement of Chikayasu's unit (if I can resume control, seeing as Chikayasu is my vassal, then I shall do so...if not, then can have Motochika leave frontline to Nobuchika while he takes over the archer unit) before encouraging his men to fight with their hearts and joining them at the frontline himself, alongside his son, to lead the way forward

Event Turn Results: With the Shogun, both Oda and Chosokabe leaders hold the front line very effectively. Hintsune Juyian's first Cavalry unit has now plowed right threw to the other side of the enemies columns of troops. While her herself leads the attack with her other Cavalry attacking the enemy longbowmen and plows into them. Both charges have proven devastating. Chosokabe Motochika orders the immediate advance of Chikayasu's Archer unit. This proving effective leadership as rains of arrows fly over the allied frontline. Slaying many of the enemy forces quite instantly.

Her main Cavalry force (Cavalry A), having now breached the enemy formation entirely would use this to their advantage and pincer the enemy Longbowmen, thus regrouping the Cavalry and dealing heavy damage to the Longbowmen. If she could single-handedly decimate that unit, while having also broken the enemies position, she would surely be rewarded. Using her new-found title of Oda Witch to her advantage, she would further show off her own prowess by using Hex against the enemy. This way, although her Cavalry were no longer on the front lines, her strength still would be and would aid the coalition forces still.

Nobunaga chuckled. His general was indeed quite worthy and very powerful. She only impressed him more with every battle. Her abilities were unmatched and thus made her the perfect general for his armies. Nobunaga only valued those of worth and Hintsune Juyian was truly worthy. He pulled his blade from the shoulder of a fallen foreigner. It had gotten stuck from striking so hard and bashing in so many skulls. The Samurai under him were fighting valiantly and Oda could see victory coming.

It was all coming together, despite the absense of the Fuuma and the Neo-Shinto. With he and Nobuchika fought at the frontline, with the joint attack by the Ashigaru fighting as one unit behind, as the unit pressed on forward, as the frontline thrusted, before pulling back, as the line behind them thrusted, in order for the enemy to be repelled, while leaving the flanks to either the Shogun's men, or the men under the Oda.
For now, they were all working together, but soon as this chaos was averted, then they would no doubt be against each other. Unless, they found favour in one another, but it was just as Zhuge Liang foretold to him when they first met, even if fate was on his side, there are great ambitions on the mainland which go against fate. It seemed that the Oda would make quite a foe, as he was now making quite a formidable ally.
Despite the samurai all fighting stronger under Nobunaga, they were still men under the Shogunate, and despite the ashigaru not being as strong as the samurai, with their numbers, with them all working together, they were just as strong. Regardless of whether the Fuuma or Neo-Shinto were here or not, the enemy numbers were dwindling, and their defeat was certain.
