Once Kogatana was gone, Takeda stayed has he had package to pick up....<br/><br/><strong>Next season</strong><br/><br/>Takeda worked on building war academy with shocking efficiency and skill; not design the academy for mere immediate needs but for long term future for the clan and shindo empire overall. It will not be just school for elite; but to elite of the elite in Shindo and academy where arts of war will be not just taught but evolved with new designs and principles. A institution of progress than strict tradition. Also other hand he send small but well stocked troops with sailing vessels with shocking speed to southern island of shindo which lands had generations not belonged to any great clans but held many ancient fortresses and temples and good deal of ore in the mountain which haven't been mined because locals had treated mountain sacred. But not sacred enough for clan Gunba!<br/><br/>However, Takeda also read the crudely drawn and rude manner written letter which what he heard had send to all clans, lords and daimyos alike. He was genuinely surprised that mere bandits could produce so much paper and write so many letters seemingly on short notice? However bandits threat gave him enough pause call his general to guard the castle but definitely bandits need dealt with sooner than later than he had planned after all....as either bandits own rampaging actions or bandit inspired rebellion is something which you should not let happen nor tolerate. Especially by man who goal is to become a emperor!
