Yoshihiro's cleaver grew ever more bloodier, with every swing. The battle was won in his eyes. The enemy had no signs of reinforcements and was surely going to meet death. So, he gave them an option. "Surrender to the Shimazu or meet your deaths." Toyohisa halted his attack as he heard Yoshihiro's words. If the enemy continued signs of aggression then they would be put to death.
