Tennis Shinsengumi's Blood Dance Sakura

Chapter 48 The Tragic Sacrifice

The cherry blossoms flying between the sky and the earth become thinner and thinner in the twilight, and melt away like snow in the next moment.The broken wood and rocks after the fierce battle are scattered on the mountain road, and two ancient swords are stuck on the rocks, telling the silent loneliness.

"Brother...Brother..." Yutai looked at everything in front of him, knelt down on the ground, and the shouts that resounded through the sky could not reach the bottom of his heart.There was no body, no blood, and Fuji just turned into cherry blossoms and disappeared into the twilight.

"Yuta...don't cry...he shouldn't have existed in this world." That peerless beauty and that otherworldly smile are really incompatible with this era full of killings and blood. People in the sky are just immortals at this moment, right?Tezuka raised his head and looked up at the dark sky, tears falling silently.

He pulled out the Fuji sword and stuck it at his waist, but Yukimura's sword jumped up into the sky automatically, and then disappeared into the sky like a shooting star with a ray of light.The two sword-holders are gone, but the fate of the two swords may not be over yet. Tezuka has the feeling that one day they will meet again and set off some earth-shattering waves.

The wind is full of soft breath, just like the warm breath full of blessings left by Buer wherever he went, gradually healed the pain and wounds in their hearts, and made them renew their courage and set foot on the future journey.

"Tezuka, welcome back!" Atobe gave Tezuka a warm hug, "But we don't seem to have time to wash you off!"

Looking at the man in front of him with a haggard face but strong self-confidence, Tezuka firmly held his shoulder, the development of the battle was self-evident.The number of times Shirakawakou changed hands is still uncertain, and the Sanchun clan withdrew from the Ouyue feudal alliance, and the strength of their alliance was further weakened.The army of the new government pressed forward at every step, and the battle line moved to Nihonmatsu Castle, but the lord of the Nihonmatsu Domain fled to the Yonezawa Domain at this critical moment. Most of the soldiers of the Nihonmatsu Domain were still fighting at the mouth of the Shirakawa. soon.At this moment, Echizen and Xiaojin led a part of the Fan soldiers to station here, and the other troops, led by Otori, started a tug-of-war with the new government forces in the Nikkokou area.

"Minister!" Echizen, who had just come down from the castle, gave Tezuka a high-five greeting, "You came just in time."

"of course."

"I mean, please send this guy back to the Aizu Domain."

"Why did I want to go back to the Aizu Domain?" Atobe suddenly became excited.

"Because you will get in the way here." Echizen responded unceremoniously.

Tezuka has already heard the unspoken meaning from Echizen's words, Nihon Matsujo cannot be kept, if Atobe is here, they must spare troops to protect his safety, they have no spare power to do this kind of thing.

"Understood." Tezuka said, "Let's go now!"

"Tezuka?!"

"Stop talking, Atobe, let's fight again in Aizu Domain..." Seeing the tears in Aizu's eyes, Tezuka's tough tone finally ended softly. Atobe should know this situation better than anyone else, and he is determined to stay Maybe it's just because he feels that he has the responsibility to stay at the forefront. Even if it can't be counted as combat power, it can at least boost everyone's morale.He should not be blamed for his capriciousness. He, who is responsible for the revival of the shogunate, bears tremendous pressure and everyone's life.

Atobe turned his back and clenched his trembling fists tightly. It took him a long time to calm down after a painful struggle in his heart. He agreed to leave Nihonmatsu Castle, but he hoped to take a last look at the soldiers guarding the castle.

"I'll go get ready!" Echizen agreed and left, and after a quarter of an hour, the soldiers had assembled.

Tezuka boarded the top of the castle behind Atobe, and the soldiers guarding the castle lined up in the castle waiting for the final review!Tezuka's eyes flicked over the faces of the soldiers, and he couldn't help but exclaimed. It turned out to be a team composed of young people and old people. Looking at it, the youngest child was only eleven or twelve years old, while some old people were already Gray hair.He finally understood the reason why Atobe was so excited. This kind of war was beyond description.

"Tezuka, we've given everything we have..." Atobe said softly.

"but……"

"Tezuka, their relatives are either participating in the battle at the mouth of the White River, or have already died on the battlefield. This is their choice, and all I can do is to help them."

Atobe's eyes swept over everyone's face, because he was trying hard to control his emotions, his facial muscles showed a stiff expression, at this moment he didn't need any words, he expressed his respect and emotion with his eyes, Then imprint his face in your mind.The silence gradually condensed into pale clouds gathering in the sky.

"We will fight until the last moment!" Suddenly a child shouted loudly, but the childish voice echoed tragically in the sky.

So the mountain roared and the tsunami pointed at the sky, "Fight to the last moment! Fight to the last moment!"

"I will fight until the last moment!" Atobe barely controlled the trembling voice and played a low tone, "After I leave, please let it go, I will wait for good news in Aizu Domain."

Amidst the cries one after another, Atobe walked down from the top of the castle, and marched towards the Aizu Domain with Tezuka, looking back at the top of the castle, under the flag fluttering in the wind, Echizen and Xiao Jinzheng were leaving.Those two children are only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, right?But he has already experienced hundreds of battles, this is the destiny of the achievements of the times!

The two walked side by side, and Kanjibu was silent all the way, but Tezuka didn't know how to comfort him. The brutality of the battle was beyond his imagination. At the moment when he climbed to the top of the wall, he could hardly imagine the war. In what direction will it develop.

"Tezuka, am I an idiot? I once said to turn the tide, but in the end I just let more lives die for me!" Atobe raised his head, his eyes were full of heartbreaking sadness.

Tezuka laughed and said, "If you're an idiot, I'm an idiot too." He reached out and stroked Atobe's hair.

Turning to stare at Tezuka's gentle face, Atobe couldn't help but also smiled, "Yeah, two idiots!"

Tezuka dismounted, took off the water bag, took two sips, and handed it to Atobe, "You are still the same you, you have never changed, and I am the same as I used to be, only the current situation has changed. Some things may not be what we want What we can grasp, what we can grasp is to move forward along our ideal path.”

"If you go on like this, you might be infamous forever!"

"Then let's leave a bad smell forever!" The two looked at each other and smiled, fame, glory, let those things go to hell!They chose the path of fighting, and achieved their own life value in the fire and blood!

Five days after Atobe arrived at the Aizu Domain, news of the Nihonmatsu Domain's defeat came. The youth team was wiped out in the battle to defend the castle.
