"It's the general!"
——
East China Sea, Shawan Port.
After days of travel, Huang Tianwei's face was etched with the marks of time, but at this moment, he finally arrived at the port with a small squad of soldiers.
He looked up at the clear blue sky, the sun blazing overhead, its rays dazzling.
As the gaze moved downwards, more than a dozen warships moored beside the harbor gradually came into view.
"Finally arrived." Huang Tianwei murmured, then turned his head to look behind him. There were only a few dozen soldiers behind him, and no one else.
But his gaze passed over the soldiers' heads and landed on the deserted road.
After a few breaths, he looked away and dismounted with his soldiers.
He and his soldiers then walked to the port, and after handing over the documents given to them by Ito Junyoshi, they were led to a small ship by the people stationed at the port.
Not long after boarding, the ship gradually sailed away from the port as the melodious ship's horn sounded.
Huang Tianwei stood on the deck, holding onto the railing, watching the land recede into the distance.
"call--"
He exhaled a heavy breath, closed his eyes, and let down his guard.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes. As the blinding sunlight shone in, Huang Tianwei put his hand to his brow.
"Judging by the time... they should be at war soon."
"hehe."
For no apparent reason, Huang Tianwei pursed his lips and revealed a smile.
"Fight! Fight to the death, the more blood flows, the better!"
Muttering something to himself, Huang Tianwei withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the cabin.
They had only taken a few steps.
Sudden.
"Plop plop plop".
A series of sounds came from behind him. Huang Tianwei's eyes narrowed and his body trembled slightly. He hurriedly bent down and turned his body to look behind him.
But soon, he revealed a self-deprecating smile and slowly stood up.
What came into view was a flock of seagulls rushing towards the sea.
Seagulls fell into the water one after another, seemingly catching small fish disturbed by the moving boat.
Their white wings seemed to be coated with a golden film in the sunlight, and the seagulls rushed down from the sky.
It plummeted into the sea like a cannonball.
"Bang bang bang!"
The deafening roar of cannons echoed high in the sky, and thick smoke drifted and spread through the air.
The booming sound of artillery fire was mixed with the dense clatter of muskets, like firecrackers set off on the first day of the Lunar New Year, exploding in an instant.
Lead bullets, fired from afar, rained down in dense bursts onto the battlefield!
Sweat poured down Miura's pale face as he looked at the chaotic battlefield, his face twitching.
The battle had been going on for half an hour, and the enemy's firepower was far more intense than he had imagined.
