"The Yuan Invaders' Gold Clan, the Yuan Invaders' Gold Secret Treasure... reestablishing a kingdom in Sanda lands?..."
In the family head's room, another long silence fell. As for his son's and the elder retainer's judgments, Takeda Nobuhiro pondered without speaking, unable to agree completely. He could only acknowledge facts that clearly existed, and would not make rash judgments.
"Buddha! The facts are, this Sanda clan has a formidable leader, elite followers, excellent arms, and an extremely vast amount of gold. They appeared from the north, and are said to come from the far northern snowfields. Their ancestral faith is very similar to the Yuan Invaders' Flying Eagle. They urgently need artisans and farmers, and are badly short of livestock..."
