826 Sabotage

Itami and her army soon found themselves at a village which they decided to occupy and use as a base of operations for their next push into the north. What was supposed to be a swift and easy conquest had now turned into a massive headache for the young Japanese Empress, who was deeply disturbed by the fact that her plans for expansion of her armed forces were met with a newfound difficulty. 

At the moment, she was in a small bathtub, soaking off the dirt and grime that had accumulated from the previous battle. Her mind was blank as she desperately tried to wash away the fear that had taken control of her heart. 

Itami had assumed that she would be fighting against a medieval army when she planned for this invasion, one who would not be able to touch her. However, now she realized that she would be fighting against an enemy armed with modern weapons, and that terrified her.
