Chen Zhennan burst into laughter, overjoyed, as he gazed at the faintly visible harbor, filled with excitement.

"I was worried about not being able to find their port, but I didn't expect this ship of idiots ahead to take the initiative to lead the way."

As they spoke, the fleet drew closer to the port, and Chen Zhennan realized that the port was full of warships, all of them brand new.

A glint of greed flashed in Chen Zhennan's eyes, and he smiled faintly, "It seems we've not only found their port, but also their new toy."

A hint of excitement appeared on Lin Cheng's face. "Your Majesty, shouldn't we prepare to receive these new toys?"

Chen Zhennan shook his head slightly and said with a faint smile, "Although I really want these warships, taking them away wouldn't be enough of a deterrent. Destroy them all!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but grunt, a hint of regret showing on his face.

"But these warships are all new, it would be such a waste to destroy them all."

Chen Zhennan waved his hand, his eyes showing no sign of wavering.

“There’s nothing to regret. If you take these warships, those Japanese devils will think you stole their things. But if you destroy these ships, they will be afraid, they will be terrified, and that fear will stay with them forever.”

As they were talking, countless Japanese soldiers suddenly emerged from the harbor. They swarmed out like ants and rushed toward the warships, preparing to launch a counterattack.

Without the slightest hesitation in his eyes, Chen Zhennan gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fire!"

At Chen Zhennan's command, gunfire erupted like a storm, and countless bullets flew towards the enemy like a tempestuous tempest.

The Japanese soldiers who were about to board the ship fell one after another under the sudden firepower. Their bodies trembled under the impact of the bullets and then collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Large numbers of Japanese soldiers were felled like wheat being harvested, and their blood stained the port ground red.

Lin Cheng frowned, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, and asked with a heavy heart, "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit cruel?"

A bitter smile appeared on Chen Zhennan's face as he stared intently at the fallen corpses.

Chen Zhennan admitted that doing so was indeed somewhat cruel, but in this world where its existence is uncertain, he was unwilling to leave any regrets because of his kindness.

In this world, kindness is sometimes a luxury, and he wouldn't bestow that luxury upon these little devils in front of him.

The fleet, like a victor's parade, slowly approached the dock.

"Burn all of Japan's warships immediately!"

The special forces soldiers moved swiftly, their figures as agile as cheetahs. After disembarking, they rushed onto the Japanese warships, their torches like painter's brushes, beginning to depict the destruction on the enemy ships.

The port was instantly engulfed in flames, the raging fire turning the sky red, like an apocalyptic scene.

Chen Zhennan stood on the boat, his gaze sharp as he watched the raging fire. His mood began to grow anxious, as he could clearly feel the heat of the flames and the intensity of the battle.

Chen Zhennan picked up his submachine gun, the barrel gleaming coldly in the firelight, and slowly led Lin Cheng off the boat.

Lin Cheng followed closely behind, watching Chen Zhennan's retreating figure with mixed feelings.

Once inside the port, Chen Zhennan's gaze swept across the battlefield like a knife.

He found many Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, barely clinging to life, like trees felled by a storm, powerless and helpless.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Zhennan finished them off with a shot, giving these enemies a quick death.

The clamor of battle gradually subsided, and the gunfire and explosions in the harbor gradually disappeared, replaced by the crackling of flames and the sound of waves crashing.

In just half an hour, Chen Zhennan had completely taken control of the entire port and dealt with more than two thousand Japanese soldiers inside.

Chen Zhennan stood at the highest point of the port, his figure appearing exceptionally tall in the firelight.

"Shiyu, order everyone to assemble immediately!"

Yan Shiyu nodded upon hearing this, and then hurriedly went to convey Chen Zhennan's order.

After the three thousand men gathered, Chen Zhennan instructed Yan Shiyu to select five hundred men to guard the port and protect the warships, while the rest set off for Edo.

Lin Cheng stood beside Chen Zhennan, his brows furrowed slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Edo is the capital of Japan, and there must be a large garrison there. Taking only 2,500 men will probably not be easy to take Edo."

Chen Zhennan smiled coldly, his face radiating confidence, completely disregarding the Japanese garrison in Edo.

"Don't worry, there's no problem. Send the order to seize all the horses from the Japanese military camp."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu hurriedly ordered loudly, "Everyone, listen to my command! Seize all the horses passing by the Japanese military camp!"

Chen Zhennan led his special forces team, like an unstoppable torrent, marching mightily towards Edo.

...

Meanwhile, in the Imperial City of Edo, Emperor Tenmu of Japan stood in the main hall of the Imperial Palace.

His gaze pierced through the layers of palace walls, looking at the distant flames that shot into the sky, a flame that seemed like an ominous sign, tearing apart the afternoon tranquility of the palace.

Emperor Tenmu frowned, a sense of unease rising within him.

"What exactly happened? Why haven't we heard anything after more than an hour?"

The ministers below looked at each other, their faces filled with embarrassment.

One of the ministers stepped forward and replied in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, we have sent ten men to gather information, but they have not returned yet."

His words carried a hint of fear, as if he had already foreseen the coming storm.

Just then, a guard ran into the hall, panting, his face filled with terror, as if he had just escaped from the edge of hell.

"Your Majesty, the Great Yan fleet has reached the shore. They are armed with weapons never seen before, and all the Imperial warships have been burned!"

His voice echoed in the hall like a thunderclap, deeply shocking everyone present.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tenmu immediately stood up and almost roared, "The Great Yan fleet? How many people have come in total?"

"Three, three thousand!"

Although the guard's voice was weak, it struck the heart of everyone present like a heavy hammer.

Emperor Tenmu's brows were furrowed, like a sky covered with dark clouds. His gaze was sharp as an eagle's as he stared at the kneeling guards below.

"Only three thousand men came? Why didn't the port garrison stop them?"

The guards were terrified, bowing their heads deeply, not daring to look the Emperor in the eye.

Just then, another guard ran into the hall, panting heavily, his face filled with terror.

"Your Majesty, the Great Yan army is approaching Edo. The Great Yan Emperor himself has come and has said... said..."

A sense of foreboding flashed in the Emperor's eyes, and he gritted his teeth as he asked, "What did you say?"

"They said they would make His Majesty the Emperor come out of the city to kneel and welcome the Emperor of Great Yan, or they would destroy Edo!"
