Fighting in the plains[]
Despite suffering heavy causalties, the Army of Fire prepared for a final assault in 1171. [1] They threw all of their efforts into a lunge for Toshi Ranbo, intending to kill the Divine Empress Iweko I herself. While traversing the vast Dragon Heart Plains they were outmaneuvered by the armies of the Lion, Crab, Dragon, and Phoenix, as well as the cavalry forces of the Shogun. [2]
Son of Fire deceived and killed[]
During the subsequent battle, the Son of Fire, field commander of Chosai's army, was lured into a clever trap and killed by Hida Benjiro, Akodo Setai, and Shosuro Naname. He had hurried to destroy the Empress' palanquin when it was leaving the Imperial City, only to find that Iweko was not within. He subsequently found himself to be surrounded by the Empire's forces. [2]
Aftermath[]
The remaining soldiers of the Dark Oracle of Fire were left leaderless, and were then slaughtered before the walls of Toshi Ranbo, ending the war. [2]
