Hiss!
Takemoto Ichiro and the others couldn't help but gasp. No wonder they had been sneaked to the side; someone had been watching them all along. It would be strange if they hadn't been found.
What a Great Liang! It's absolutely astonishing.
With this thing overhead, no matter where they are in the world, they can't escape the pursuit of the Great Liang.
Takemoto Ichiro took a deep breath, picked up his sword, and gritted his teeth, saying, "I accept defeat wholeheartedly. I, Takemoto Ichiro, was ignorant of fate and have fallen to such a state; I accept it!"
He wasn't prepared to leave this situation, and the other party wouldn't let him go either. Rather than be laughed at, he figured he might as well resolve it himself.
The next moment, he turned the blade and committed seppuku.
Blood gushed out, and within a few breaths, he collapsed completely to the ground. Behind him, Tamura Tamako and the others did not hesitate at all; they committed seppuku to follow their former master.
Forehead!
Seeing this, a strange glint flashed in Ran Min's eyes. He subconsciously glanced at Kusakawa Saemon and sighed, "I've heard of the seppuku ceremony in Yamata Nation before, but I thought it was just a hoax. Now it seems there really is such a thing!"
It really takes courage to just cut it like that.
He even saw that Tamura Tamako was not quite dead yet, and was still struggling. The pain made him look ferocious.
"Please forgive me, sir, I've always been afraid of pain!" Kusakawa Saemon said with a forced smile, sensing the sarcasm in Ran Min's tone.
"I think you're a coward!"
Ran Min ignored him and looked directly at the guards beside him, saying in a deep voice, "These men are quite the tough guys. Finish them off with one last stab, then bury them!"
As a soldier, he admired this kind of backbone, this courage to commit seppuku, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
Like Kusakawa Saemon, this guy is clearly one of those who wouldn't dare.
However, it's better for such enemies to die, so let someone finish them off to fulfill their noble cause. Otherwise, if they come back to life, it would frighten our own people.
Grunt!
Saemon swallowed hard, muttering to himself, "This is fucking brutal! Even after committing seppuku, he still finishes himself off!" It seems he absolutely cannot play dead, or he'll actually be killed.
Looking around, the Great Liang soldiers had already begun finishing off the enemies, clearly intending to leave no survivors.
This plunged him into despair. These people were ruthless; they killed people like dogs, without even blinking an eye.
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up. Ran Min looked at Xie Hui and asked in a deep voice, " Xie Hui, how is things on Eight Gods Island?"
"General, rest assured, the city is under my control. All the people of Yamata Nation are being watched and awaiting your decision!" Xie Hui nodded and explained.
He had previously circled around from behind and attacked, killing the organized Yamata Nation people, and then completely taking control of those territories.
However, a large number of civilians have not yet been dealt with and are awaiting the general's decision.
Life or death hangs in the balance.
Bang bang bang!
A bitter look flashed in Kusakawa Saemon's eyes. He was afraid he would become a sinner for all time, and Eight Gods Island would probably be stained with blood.
Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Ran Min smiled faintly and said quietly, "You don't need to worry, kid. This general is not a bloodthirsty person. As long as those people stop threatening my army, they will naturally have a good ending."
"Thank you very much, General Ran!"
Saemon sighed, forced a smile, and thanked him.
He even prayed in his heart that these people could be a little smarter, otherwise Eight Gods Island would probably be stained with blood.
Soon the army headed straight for the center of Eight Gods Island, where the people of Eight Gods Island from Great Liang were being held, and Ran Min needed to deal with them. At the same time, Eight Gods Island was also needed as a base to launch further attacks.
As soon as Ran Min entered the town center, he sensed a different atmosphere; finally, there was a bit of life here.
" Xie Hui, should we guard all the people here?"
"Yes, General."
Ran Min nodded. He could faintly smell the stench of blood in the air, indicating that a major battle had taken place here previously.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard a burst of urgent barking. A large black dog was charging straight at me, clearly intending to bite me.
"Court death!"
Seeing the big black dog approaching, the guards immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot them directly at the dog.
Wang...
The big black dog died on the spot, only letting out a few mournful cries before being riddled with arrows.
Looking at the corpse of the big black dog, Ran Min's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said in a low voice, "That dog's eyes were full of malice. Even a dog wanted to attack us. It seems these people are indeed not convinced."
Since that's the case, let someone else handle it; I won't go look at it!
There's no point in being merciful to enemies; it's better to kill them than to show them mercy. Otherwise, even a dog wouldn't be grateful.
"Resolved?"
Kusakawa Saemon's pupils contracted, thinking he had misheard. What was going on? Was he going to go on a killing spree over a dog?
He couldn't help but shout, "General, please forgive us! They have no strength left to resist. Why must you do this...?"
If this order is issued, Eight Gods Island will likely be plunged into a bloodbath.
"Is there no way to resist?"
Ran Min pointed in the direction the big black dog had come from, and there stood a young man on a rooftop, gritting his teeth and glaring in their direction. Clearly, the big black dog was his.
Not far away, a middle-aged man stood in a tree, holding a bow and pointing it in their direction.
This person was clearly after me; the big black dog probably belonged to him too.
He also spotted several other traces nearby, clearly indicating that Xie Hui hadn't caught everyone; some had escaped.
Ran Min sighed, "I gave the people of the Yamata Nation a chance, but they didn't cherish it! Since you've unleashed your dogs to bite me, don't blame me for being impolite."
kill!
Upon seeing these people, Xie Hui was furious; he had almost made a grave mistake!
After a roar, he led his troops to attack. Sure enough, these people were full of rebellious thoughts, so let's suppress them completely.
Ahhh!
Screams filled the air as those hiding in the shadows were eliminated one by one, causing Saemon to collapse to the ground in agony.
He collapsed to the ground, bitterly saying, "Why did you unleash the dogs? You've given them an excuse!"
despair!
We are powerless!
He was well aware of the murderous intent in the other person's eyes; he just needed this excuse. However, the resentment in the boy's eyes and the big black dog were the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"An excuse?"
A cold smile flashed in Ran Min's eyes as he said loudly, " The Yamata Nation plotted against my Great Liang, which angered His Majesty the Emperor of Great Liang, and that is why you have encountered this calamity."
Therefore, the person you should resent is not me, Ran Min, but your Emperor!
If it weren't for the war he started, you wouldn't have suffered the wrath of my Great Liang. As everyone knows, my Great Liang is the most peace-loving, and our Emperor believes in Win People Over with Virtue!
You're the ones who made him take up arms, so he'll have to pay the price!
