"Excellent. I'll be counting on all of you for the time being."
His grateful, trusting gaze swept over the Samurai and Ninja before him.
"We are the elite of the White-Red Empire. The future of the Empire rests in our hands.
Once this plan succeeds, we will become heroes of the White-Red Empire.
Future generations of the Empire will sing of our glorious deeds.
Our names will be etched into the annals of the Empire's history, immortalized for all time!"
Goto Taiji's voice was rousing and impassioned.
He could already see the glorious, brilliant future of the White-Red Empire.
The vision was so clear that his eyes filled with hope and longing.
Hearing Goto Taiji's words, the Samurai and Ninja all broke into hearty laughter.
Their laughter was frank and bold, echoing long into the air above the construction site.
The following night, moonlight flowed like water, quietly bathing the mysterious construction site and draping the earth in a thin, silver veil.
