If I'm in your place, I would stop going to the front line for a while. Send your secondary teams on an expedition, it really helps that there's an ongoing expedition campaign now. With the obtained resources, make better armours. Bronze armours are not going to last long, especially in world 5, no matter how strong your swords are. It's better to invest in better troops than constantly throwing away resources for reparation.

Yes, it seems to me that your swords' levels are not high enough. Repeat previous levels to level them up. I suggest you reach level 30-40ish before attempting 4-3 again. Also, this is optional, but at this moment, leave your tantous behind. Even level 30ish tantous have problems with the barrage attacks on 4-1. But if you love your tantous and don't want to leave them behind, that's up to you. Do level them a bit higher (40-50) to avoid too much resource loss though.

Oh and also, if you don't want kebiishi to show up, go back to the citadel before reaching the boss node.
