As soon as the fire died down, the remaining 200 Kiri-nin were already charging towards Takahiro and his position while the other 600 split on each side closed in for the flank. All Takahiro needed to do was simply order the battalion in its entirety to fall directly back as all other directions were swallowed in the pincer movement. Instead, he took his division and tried to return from whence they came which was currently swarmed by one of the flanking divisions of 300 strong, Kiri-nin.

Surely what Takahiro was seeing wasn't a clear and open forest, he must have been having hallucinations. Even should he have used reason and turned directly around there were 2 divisions of his own battalion to plow and trample through and the last effort of Tak's soldiers literally sealed their only way out as the pincer movement closed around them and a river of mud shot out above them blanketing the sky above. If Takahiro had made this theoretical decision in the previous instance anyway. Instead, his course with his division would take him straight into the steel blades of the Kiri army.

Given no attempt was made to even fend off these attackers and charge through, Takahiro and his men would've run blindly straight into the hundreds of swords waiting for him. He would be immediately speared by dozens of swords, impeding his escape and striking various vital parts of his body and many parts of the chest. His body would be torn to ribbons as the men pushed on and collided with the Fūma soldiers. The soldiers themselves had no choice but to fight and brace themselves as the remains of their own leaders were pushed straight onto them.

On Tak's end, her men made a horrid mistake as 8 earth release users gathered and made use of the Mud Spore technique using the swamped area behind them. This would've immediately blocked their last chance to exit, dooming them all as they were closed in on all sides now. The massive power behind the mud river soared overhead and also blocked any way to even fly out from the situation.

(Listen and read)

All sides were clashing in and Myoo couldn't get over the overhanging river as the 2nd division tried to defend themselves to the last. Dozens fell swiftly as the charge made its impact. Even if the earth release users turned tail realizing there error as soon as the mud spore would come down they would find water flaring up forming into a wall as excess Kiri-nin piled up at what was the army's only exit until now. Every side was beginning to do this as well, water release users at the back of the Kiri divisions shootings spouts of water that met at the front making walls dividing the Kiri army and Steel Battalion apart. It linked all the way to Takahiro's own earth wall he ordered before shortly running into a swarm of swords.

With or without the Mud Spore river hanging overhead, suddenly breaking over the wall were tidal waves of wrath poised with energy and more. Spread along the cape of the waves were a few dozen or so of the 200 men that were charging at Takahiro, riding atop as the waves came crashing down. They were boxed in on all sides, water formation walls were erected on all sides and the one earth wall around was now being used against them.

There was no escape, not any longer.

The waves with the force of a tsunami came crashing down with such brutal force that it could break bone and wear away at the ground in an instant. The waves were large enough to cover the entire area and all would've been caught in it, the horrible force would've smashed and knocked out anyone caught unprepared for the moment. All of the elite soldiers would be crushed undertow and given Tak was knocked out, it was only a further hinderance. As soon as the wave hit the walls died and fell down. The water levels were dropping, and many were simply guided to their deaths resting at the feet of the waiting Kiri-nin.

The Kiri-nin began to trample over bodies, stabbing each and everyone with a macabre and horrid fervor, ensuring the death of all caught within. Even if someone who managed to survive the crashing waves of The Bloody Mist, unless they could feign death and withstand a killing blow as people's faces were crushed and hearts stabbed under the ninja of Kiri there was no avoiding this last part.

The 3rd Battalion is gone.

The stabbing went on for 20 minutes or so with no stop as men disemboweled and beheaded men of the Fuma. A whole 800 men tried to get in on the action, but many still hung out around the edges as water still pooled around their feet. Once this was finished, the captains of each individual regiment would begin to scream out orders to move on and collect with the rest. Some squads began to disperse and hang around the area, beginning to look around the area in search of any other depots and more people to gut and murder.

After these men were gone, there were still forces in the area but not a heavy amount. Should anyone have survived this provided they had a skill set that would be beneficial or make it reasonable enough to survive the experience: They were now behind enemy lines and even one misstep after dragging themselves out from the mass grave would could mean death once again.

(Myoo and Tak now have to make a post devoted entirely as to how they can survive this mass killing. The utmost detail and proper reasoning be used to provide for this. If it is not sufficient, the DM will explain their death in next post or they can simply accept death as it is. This is your one, rare opportunity to get yourself out of a situation gone extremely wrong. I expect only the best from you two.)
