"You!"
Kusakawa Saemon's face immediately turned ugly; he had originally intended to order his personal guards to kill these guys.
But just as he was about to speak, he felt a jolt beneath him, and almost fell into the sea. Fortunately, his trusted aides caught him, otherwise he probably would have already fallen in.
Pfft!
His guards had already taken action, instantly killing several people who approached. Then, they roared at them, "Get to the back! Hide behind cover! Anyone who tries to block your way here will die!"
These idiots, if their warships capsize, they're basically doomed.
This place is so far from the coast that without a boat, it would be certain death.
This action instantly sobered up those who had been blinded by rage. One by one, they gritted their teeth and walked towards the back. The general's personal guards were all on the warships, and they couldn't fight against the powerful.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this scene Yu Jin not far away, Yu Jin burst into laughter and shouted, "You guys from the Yamata Nation, don't bother running away! Stay here, the sea is your true home!"
He looked at Saemon's warship. The other side seemed to regard him as their leader and was protecting him, so he must be the leader.
"Heh heh, why bother struggling in vain!"
Yu Jin took out a specially made arrow with a gunpowder barrel attached to it, placed it on the ship's crossbow, and then aimed it at Saemon's warship.
call out!
The long arrow streaked across the sky, heading straight for Saemon's warship, and landed directly on the hull.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the warship began to leak water, and seawater rushed in. Saemon's face turned green; his warship had actually been blown through.
Damn it, this is a huge problem!
He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Just who is this guy? Are people from Great Liang this powerful?"
To attack from such a distance and still manage to destroy your own warships? That's practically asking for trouble.
"General, stop cursing! This warship is about to capsize; we must move!" A trusted aide quickly reminded him, disregarding everything else.
With that, he grabbed Saemon and jumped onto a small fishing boat nearby. The boat was about to capsize, and staying on it would only mean certain death.
Whoosh!
He had just jumped onto the fishing boat when the warship he was on sank into the sea, and countless people were still wailing in the ocean.
Then huge rocks flew over, and a large number of warships were sunk into the water. Of the original nearly seventy warships, only a dozen or so remained, teetering on the brink of collapse, but they were clearly unable to hold on any longer.
At this point, Saemon had no time to care about them anymore; he just kept running away, even having his personal guards help row the boat.
"Heh heh, just a death throes!"
Seeing his miserable state, Yu Jin smiled and made a final, sweeping gesture.
Rumble!
This time, gunpowder wasn't even used; the catapults fired directly at the same time, and the remaining dozen or so warships sank to the bottom of the sea, perishing in the vast ocean. Only Saemon was specially spared by him.
"Help!"
Kusakawa Saemon turned as cold as water. Hearing cries and screams everywhere, and the approaching Great Liang warships, he felt a heat rising from his lower body and was so frightened that he wet himself.
As a second-generation rich kid, he had never experienced such a situation before. It was truly terrifying; it was a direct threat from hell.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "At this point, we have no choice but to surrender!"
"Young master, if we surrender, the General's reputation will be ruined. I will never allow it!" Upon hearing his words, a struggle flashed in the eyes of the guard beside him. Finally, he prepared to kill Saemon with a single stroke.
As the son of a great general, it would be a disgrace if word got out that he had surrendered to the enemy, something he would absolutely not allow.
Although he was there to protect Saemon, he was also sent by the General.
Young master, I'm so sorry!
"What? You want to kill me?"
Saemon's face turned green. His own personal guard wanted to kill him? Wasn't it better to be alive?
What's wrong with surrendering?
"Stop!"
Just as he was about to be killed, a long arrow pierced the air, killing the guard on the spot. Then several arrows pierced the air, pinning down several people around Saemon.
A group of Great Liang soldiers jumped onto the warship and captured Saemon and the others.
Grunt!
Surrounded by enemies, Saemon's spirits sank to the bottom; it was clear that he was doomed.
But it's better to live a miserable life than to die; there might still be a chance for things to turn around.
Bang!
Without hesitation, he knelt on the ground, forced a smile, and said kindly, "My lord, is there some misunderstanding between us? Why are you attacking us?"
Saving face is all nonsense, isn't it better to just live?
Yu Jin glanced at him, ignored him, and instead looked at the wailing water ghosts below, saying in a deep voice, "To prevent them from damaging our warships, sharpshooters, take them out!"
Although the main warships have iron plates for reinforcement at the bottom, the centipede ships do not. If they were to be damaged, it would be a huge loss.
To avoid any accidents, it's better to just kill it.
"Yes!"
Upon receiving the order, the people nearby immediately commanded to shoot.
The area around the sea was surrounded, and they began shooting at the Yamata Nation on the seabed. With each scream and the seepage of blood, a corpse would float to the surface.
These people were all scoundrels on the high seas, and now they were paying the price for it.
Ahhh!
Screams echoed in his ears, and Kusakawa Saemon's face grew Bai Qi. These people were simply demons.
It feels like being alive is worse than being dead.
He had just wet himself in fear, and now he was so scared he wet himself again.
Yu Jin picked him up and carried him towards the main warship, then threw him in front of Sun Jian, laughing, "General, this guy seems to have some connections. Let the Net ) investigate who he is."
What's your name?
Sun Jian glanced at Saemon, but there wasn't much joy in his eyes. After all, such a prisoner wasn't of much use, and he didn't have high expectations.
Saemon glanced at him and said with a wry smile, "Sir, I am Yamada Ichirō, a junior officer from Eight Gods Island. I am just a nobody, and I have only been ordered to patrol the seas this time!"
He dared not reveal his identity; if these people started targeting him, he feared he would have no good days ahead of him.
"A nobody?"
A murderous glint flashed in Sun Jian's eyes as he sneered, "Since they're just insignificant figures, there's no point in keeping them alive. Let's just kill them and feed them to the fish!"
Clang!
The guards on the side drew their swords and were about to attack, which frightened Saemon so much that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"My lord, spare my life! I am Kusakawa Saemon, son of Kusakawa Akio, the great general of Yamata Nation. I still have a use for you." He no longer cared about his father's disgrace; at this moment, preserving his life was the priority.
