The End

The battle which turn the country
The enemy were quiet and we did not know their plans, but we do know that the Otani, Mashita, and Ankokuji clan became allies.  They join with Ishida Mitsunari and took over most of the out post in the Kansai area.
In Edo to Sekigahara
"Lord Tokugawa, the enemy has taken over various outpost in the Kansai area."  A retainer running from one of the out post in Kansai declares.  Lord Tokugawa became shock and immediately order some of his troops to go east while he lead them.
Lord Tokugawa before leaving, sent letters to many lords of the western army and they have agree to help him.  Knowing that many of the daimyo on the western side would join him, lord Tokugawa march towards Sekigahara and commence the battle.
In only a couple of hours, we and the western army lost about 30,000 men.  I remembering the lord's word try to avoid death, but I also know that dying for the lord is worth losing my life.
Standing on the battle field, my comrades fell left and right.  I fight my hardest to save my life and the lives of my comrades, but no matter how hard we fight I feel we were making no progress.  All of a sudden the battle slow down, it was as if a feather feel from the tail of a bird slowly gliding in the air.
"The course of battle has change.  The some lords from the other side were convinced and decided to join lord Tokugawa."  A soldier yells.
All the soldiers yell with morale, "We will win."  My comrades with full force attack the soldiers of the western army.  We pave our way towards victory.
We learn later as the battle comes to a end that Ishida Mitsunari fled the battle field, but was killed by villagers.  His head was brought to lord Tokugawa.  Lord Tokugawa's victory over the western army made many of the family who supported the western army lose their property.  Some clans, as well, lost all of what it owned and perish.
