Do not think we will sit idly bye while you steal our iron. That would be an act of war and punished as such.

A little battered but still afloat, the Discovery continues on its way back home.

[Hawklord]

No Lanzelot was just passing through. I refer to the large force and settler poised to build a city in order to steal our iron mine in the south west mountains.

greedy neighbors....

 

[Hawklord]

The Imagawa go ahead and build a settlement right on our borders and try to steal the iron mine.

Just so that other Daimyo's can see the extent of your impudence.

The new Imagawa village was built 1 tile from our border. The iron mountain and hills were our lands. The Imagawa try to steal them.

We will not stand for this blatent theft.

It's war.

The war-like and flambouyant Daimyo Hawklord again kills for minerals from Mother Earth. As if these bits of metal had been given to him and not the dirt and rock under our feet. A cold wind blows through the mountains where the Takeda concern themselves with self-centered issues when their world may come crashing down on them from the West. "Is not one Iron Deposit enough?" thinks Daimyo Cyc as he once again lights his pipe...

"You should have followed the sun, Daimyo Hawklord. One day it may not rise for you."

 

[Lanzelot]

Daimyo Lanzelot as well hears these news about renewed outbreak of war with great regret. But he has no power to do anything about it. He just sits back and prays that true enlightenment will come over this world soon...

[Cyc]

Daimyo Cyc inspects the lands once owned by the Hojo. From a mountain top he spots a Takeda Warrior in the fields below, across the river. Cyc stays away from the Warrior and will head back into the Mountains tomorrow.

Those are just the beginning of at least 4 large stacks of Ronin roaming the countryside. I see Daimyo Lancelot venturing out too, I hope to engage as well.

Yep, Daimyo Lanzelot and his friends had been out killing a stack of 4 Ronins two turns ago, and now after some rest they are hunting down another stack. However it looks like we were after the same stack that you just took care of...

Lanzelot's men defeated a band of 4 Ronin close to Daimyo xakzen's border and hope to smoke out their nest next turn.
