Chapter 76 - Shin's name is Recognised

with the main battle Being dominated by Ryjin and his Troops Renpa Dispatch'd kaishibou to intercept Ryjin and slow him down so the wei troops can withdraw and reform How ever Ryjins troops where the ones to Pull back and reform as if awaiting something and then it came a Group of horse men with a cart carrying what looked like a body as renpa saw this He saw the swords over the body and Knew Rinko had fallen He shouted to the heavens and Looked at Ryjin with fury Yet a strange thing Came about Ryjin was in the middle Field with a white flag Renpa charged his way down to meet Him as Ryjin stood there white flag in hand he saw Renpa charging him Yet he did not even Move a muscle as Renpa came before him and Renpa said Why are you here asking to talk.

Ryjin spoke and Told Renpa that Shin had battled Rinko in a 1v1 dual and Shin won but Ryjin and his army Respect this and also Respect Rinko and wish to Show said respect by having a Funeral Here in no mans land to Burn Rinko and Honour him Now Renpa was Bogeyed at this he was hesitant cause it could be a Trick Yet from this Young man he felt nothing but respect and Honour Renpa agreed and for the next few hours A great Pyre was Built and set up for Rinko BY both Side's Even Qin army commander Mougou and his son Moubu and ousen and Kanki came to the surprise of Renpa as Mougou even shook hands with renpa Paying respect to Rinko for the day the Battle stopped as all side's where given 1 days Truce as respect for this Great general and warrior

After the Funeral Qin remained stationed where they where watching the battle as Renpa had reorganised his force's and Ryjin had also done his it seems Both had the same idea A head on battle no trick's just head on battle with The stronger winning Shin had been placed on the right flank of Ryjins army as Achilles was in the centre as Glen was on the left and Eve was behind with the archers apparently her and Kouen had Traded Blows the other day and she even landed a small hit on him yet he also returned it so it was a draw Ryjin had told Achilles to target either Renpa or Kaishibou Achilles was ecstatic and As the drums sounded for battle The front lines charged Achilles was up front and as he attacked the wei front lines all saw his martial might and all where shocked and amazed his fighting was so strong yet precise.

Ryjin had also charged as he and Renpa Had now come to Blows and Renpa was showing what it meant to be a great general of the heavens and Ryjin was honour'd to trade blows Kaishibou had meet Achilles and was having an extremely hard time Genbou was the the wei HQ commanding the troops Kouen was also in the back lines commanding the archers and also having what looked like another Dual with Eve Shin was on the right as his force's where Ripping the enemy left flank to piece's seems his Battle the other day had changed him he had m.a.t.u.r.ed a bit Ryjin was smiling inside.

Ryjin was battling Renpa and renpa was holding his own against Ryjin's Insane strength in the end Genbou had to tell renpa to retreat due to there army's left flank Literally being torn apart as renpa saw it he saw the Hi Shin units flag and there pace of movement Renpa made his way to where Achilles was and started battling Achilles as he ordered Kaishibou to go and take that young commanders head for Rinko Kaishibou rode off with Vigorous zeal.

Achilles was a bit annoyed his target had run off but he was happy next as a better target appeared Renpa was also having a very hard time with Achilles Ryjin is pure strength Achilles has strength and speed he is extremely deadly he managed to stab Renpa around 8 times Non where lethal tho renpa only managed to land 2 blows on Achilles yet he shrugged them off as if nothing Renpa was On the back foot as Genbou had sent more Men he reformed to Attack Ryjins front line Witch was holding Very well the Wei had taken horrendous losses but Ryjins army had taken around 20 to 40k losses the Wei there losses where atleast OVER 250K and climbing rapidly Renpa Knew his army would not hold no he knew he had lost Yet he was not dead and could fight at another Battle ground Renpa rode to his HQ and ordered the full Retreat as his army left None from his army Knew 1 was still left behind Locked in battle with a young man the battle of witch was now being witness'd by all of Ryjins army and also by Qin's Command as all watched Shin battle The might Kaishibou with Honour in a 1 v 1 the battle last for a few hours Kaishibou had overwhelmed shin with sheer strength Yet shin again was changing it was a visible Change too he was growing and maturing with every swing and hit Eventually Kaishibou Fell to Shin's sword Shin himself was covered from head ta toe in wound's Ryjin had him taken to his doctors and looked after Ryjin then had Kaishibou's Body Covered and Placed on a cart and escorted to Renpa's Retreating spot at this time Ryjins army had gone from 700k to around 650k he lost a mix of infantry cav and archers But all his numbers where still good Mougou had witnessed this battle and had come to realise Qin never could of won with such Little Losses.

Ryjin and his army had a good rest for the next day untill the march continued.
