In feudal Japan, during a bloody war between clans, two cowardly and greedy peasants, soldiers of a defeated army, stumble upon a mysterious man who guides them to a fortress hidden in the mountains.
Two bumbling, low-life peasants stumble into a massive geopolitical conflict while trying to protect a fleeing princess. This kinetic adventure uses sweeping cavalry charges and clever banditry to set the blueprint for the modern space opera.
