The Oda army is finally at war with the Azai/Asakura alliance. Long-time retainer and father of Ranmaru Mori, Yoshi Mori, defends the castle on Mount Usa against the enemy, which now includes Enryaku-ji of Mount Hiei.
We cannot afford to lose 
a single man in vain.
لا يمكننا إهدار حياة أي جندي
Wir können es uns nicht leisten,
unnötig Männer zu verlieren.
No podemos perder vidas en vano.
Nous ne pouvons nous risquer
à attaquer seuls.
Não podemos perder um
 homem sequer em vão.
