"Ow Ow!..."
"Whoosh!..."
"Awoooo!!!..."
The mournful cries of dogs, accompanied by their dying wails, echoed across the southern river bay. The sounds of the battle in the wind grew closer, even carrying the scent of fresh blood. For the samurai and warriors on the longship, they were all too familiar with such a smell. They could even judge the approximate scale of the battlefield by the intensity of the scent.
"Chief Divine bear witness! The scale of the battle in the south must be significant! Surely there are hundreds, even thousands, involved!..."
Soon, the entire fleet was on high alert. Warriors were readying their bows, donning their armor, and even the hunting dogs on both ends of the ship were growling lowly, seemingly sensing the nearness of the battlefield.
"Keep heading south! Let's get a closer look!..."
