Further Recruiting

[hellbell]

Masamune did a good work in recruiting soldiers, and the balance of his rather violent act in Dewa was very good: he ended up with many weak followers, but at least he knew he could do it again sometime and still get the same results. After all, the forces surrounding him were nothing but weak, and he needed all the help he could get.

Putting together all of his troops and thus forming quite a big army, he marched in the direction of the castle he was before. Hoping to instill fear in the hearts of the citizens and force them to join him, he came to the gates and shot three times upwards. The same scene he saw in the market was playing now: people being scared to death and running with no definite direction, moms lokcing their children in their homes... Masamune tilted his head negatively, thinking of how little things in the battlefield could be such a big deal in a peaceful city.

"Where's your protector now? I bet he's hiding from the oppressor as well. People can't be that foolish to fall for that!" Some people realized he was in peace, and even though they were scared, they came closer to him. "See? When there's nothing to trouble you, you need words; when you're already taken by the war, you need someone to shut up, stand up for the words said before and protect you! I'll be very glad to keep my mouth closed while I shoot through someone's guts. You certainly aren't dumb enough to ignore this, are you?"
