## Command 1333

**Chapter 14** is titled "*Command 1333*".

## Synopsis

As Tokiyuki continues to flee, Genba doubles back and snaps Sadamune’s bowstring, taunting them that he didn’t steal any documents because paper is for burning. Genba agrees to joint Tokiyuki’s retainers permanently in exchange for a province when Tokiyuki gains power. Sadamune tries to get another command, but due to the overwhelming number of claims of people helping to overthrow the Tokiyuki clan, the emperor instead allocates land by his own will. Tokiyuki asks Suwa Yorishige if they could use Genba to slit Takauji Ashikaga’s throat in his sleep, but Suwa says this is still too risky, instead they should just use Genba to reassess the situation.

The battle for control of Kamakura has been joined! The Hojo and Ashikaga forces clash as Tokiyuki and his Elusive Warriors take on the members of the infamous Kanto Hisashiban. Kojiro has engaged Kagetada, a warrior twisted by Uesugi’s chemical experiments. Genba skirts the edges of the battle trying to track down another Ashikaga ninja. After Tokiyuki’s inspiring race around the battlefield, his opponent, the horse-mad samurai Imagawa, moves in for the kill. Even Tokiyuki’s famed elusiveness may not save him this time...

He looks for an opportunity to counterattack while inspiring his allies in a situation where the slightest opening could be fatal! On the other hand, the enemy general, Tadayoshi Ashikaga, decides to go into battle to meet and kill the Hojo army. The generals finally confront each other directly, and the battle to recapture Kamakura begins!

Can Tokiyuki devise a way to fight back while hesitating a relentless onslaught?
