"Kill me, and you will all be dead!"

"Your troops are few in number, and even if you join the battle now, you won't be able to hold out for long. Look! The Japanese army has already entered the city! They've come in!"

"They have more troops and stronger combat power! They are also waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out. They have been resting for the past few days and they are all full of energy, unlike us who have been fighting all the time."

Zhang Ye frowned and glanced sideways at the city gate. Sure enough, quite a few Japanese had already entered the city.

Liang Gongzhi continued to beg for mercy:

"Hero, hero! Listen to me! Japan has been planning this for many years, and we are fully prepared for this great undertaking!"

"Given our current situation, how can we possibly stop them? There are still many troops in Japan that haven't been sent. In the previous naval battle, our navy was completely defeated by Japan's new weapons and had no chance to fight back."

"Even our ancestors said, 'A wise man knows when to yield!' At this time, we should take a step back!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye laughed in anger.

"You've misinterpreted the ancestor's words like this. If the ancestor finds out, he'll probably kill you!"

Liang Gongzhi trembled and hurriedly said:

"Good man, life is short, so why worry about so many other things?"

"You are very capable and skilled in martial arts. If you spare me, I will recommend you to join the Japanese army. They will definitely value you!"

"In the future, you will enjoy endless wealth and honor!"

"Shut up! If Dagan is taken over by the Japanese, what glory and wealth will we have left? By then, we will have become slaves of a conquered nation!" Zhang Ye had already walked up to Liang Gongzhi.

"Hero! You can't say that! In this world, it's all the same who controls it. It's better to live a miserable life than to die! Don't be impulsive! Please don't be impulsive!"

Zhang Ye ignored him and raised the knife in his hand.

With a "bang".

Ignoring the excruciating pain in his legs, Liang Gongzhi cried out and kowtowed, begging for mercy:

"Spare my life! I was wrong! I was wrong!"

"Spare my life, and I'll go kill the Japanese! I'll kill the Japanese with you!"

"I've reformed, please forgive me, I..."

With a "thud," Zhang Ye swiftly and cleanly slashed down with his sword!

Blood spurted from the cleanly severed neck, splattering all over Zhang Ye, and cold words were uttered from his mouth.

"Go to the underworld and ask the ancestors if they forgive you."
