Battle of Shiro Mirumoto

The Battle of Shiro Mirumoto marked a turning point in the War of Dark Fire. The castle was the main target the minions of the Dark Oracle of Fire Chosai sought, but its brave defence denied the reward.

Preambles
The Army of Fire had used a tactic to hide his true target. They sent a wide range of patrols in order to sow discord and disguise true troop movement. In oe area was not reported any yobanjin attack, the one which led to Shiro Mirumoto.

Siege
The Dragon forces directly under the command of the Dragon Clan Champion Mirumoto Kei were inside the castle to have a brief rest, when sighting of the raiders were noticed. Kei ordered to bar the gates and defend the castle. Thousands of barbarians began the siege.

Assaulted
A wyrm rider directed his beast toward the wall, and it exploded with the foul magic of the Dark Oracle, making a breach in the city walls. The yobanjin hurried toward it and the Dragon confronted them, and the barbarians could not penetrate the walls.

Forcing an opening
Kei knew the defenders and the castle would not stand enough time to wait until Lion forces en route arrived. Togashi Matsuo, Togashi Hogai, and Hitomi Vedau sacrificed themshelves to create a opening that was used by a massive charge of the Dragon forces, driving out the raiders.
