What Levi and North Sky Lord didn’t realize was that the earlier battle had only been a taste of what was to come.
There may have been an army of five thousand at the Military Division’s grounds, but that was only a fraction of the conscripted fighters.
Levi paused to survey the area and found that the real deterrent to hinder their progress lay outside the grounds.
The Tower of the Sun wasn’t too far away from the Military Division, but they had to traverse a pathway spanning ten kilometers.
Warriors had been stationed throughout the way, and they were by no means unskilled.
They had been lying in wait, biding their time for a chance to attack.
All of them were men loyal to Tenichi, duty-bound to defend him with their lives.
This was all a part of Tenichi’s plan. Even if the mob of warriors couldn’t kill Levi, there was a chance they would overwhelm him instead.
Levi might not be dead, but he would at least be exhausted. Or so he thought.
In a grievous miscalculation, Tenichi failed to anticipate the true strength of his opponents.
The samurai he had positioned barely proved to be a hindrance to them at all.
The pair swept through their defenses with a crushing force, defeating any obstacle in their path.
Soon, nobody was left standing.
But the one thing that even Watanabe Tenichi himself did not expect was the sheer number of loyal men who showed up to stop Levi.
The entire pathway was dotted with no less than a hundred thousand samurai.
They all believe in the spirit of Bushido and were eager to fight.
Having heard that Watanabe Tenichi was in danger, they all rallied to his call, hoping for a chance to restore Raysonian Bushido to its former glory.
Samurai from all over came with a single purpose, to kill Levi Garrison.
It had been less than an hour, but it felt like an eternity had passed.
Soon, Levi and North Sky Lord arrived at the base of the Tower of the Sun.
Both men were drenched in enough blood to be mistaken for corpses, but the blood did not belong to them.
So far, all hundred thousand men they encountered on their way to the Tower of the Sun had been defeated. The bodies piled high, with the stench of blood and warfare filling the air.
Throughout the region, the wails of defeated samurai were heard. It was a sorrowful lament of shame and anguish.
This was an even bigger smear on Raysonian Bushido, worse than the colossal embarrassment they had to endure five years ago.
Not even one hundred thousand samurai could stop the two of them.
