No one would have thought that the people who came to the port were anyone else, especially since the flag raised among the troops was the flag of Japan!
Without a doubt, General Ito had already achieved victory on the front lines after landing!
They've sent back good news!
A moment later, at the port, Koji Tani, with a small number of soldiers, met the approaching army.
Their numbers were not particularly large, only a few thousand, and the leader was none other than Kentaro Miura, the captain of the musketeer unit under General Ito.
Miura rode his warhorse, his face slightly pale.
He looked at Tian Gu Dao, who had come to greet him:
"I am here on the orders of General Ito to deliver an urgent message. Go and summon everyone on the ship. I have something to say."
Tani was taken aback, then asked, "General Miura, is there some kind of emergency?"
Miura frowned and said coldly, "Do I need to repeat myself?"
"Now that everyone has been gathered, I will convey the message all at once."
Tani frowned. Although he felt somewhat confused, he still followed Miura's advice.
After all, he was just a captain in the navy, while Miura, though an army officer, held a much higher position.
Immediately, Tian Gu ordered his men to go aboard the ship and call for help.
Before long, everyone had come ashore. The number of people stationed here, along with some troops reserved for future garrisons, totaled about a thousand.
Miura looked at the assembled people, his face growing paler. He asked, "Is everyone here? Is anyone still missing?"
"All assembled, General!" Tani replied, but looking at Miura's expression, Tani inexplicably sensed something was amiss.
Not only him, but everyone who had gathered looked at the army in front of them felt a strange feeling.
"It's all there... Hmm, that's good."
Miura repeated the sentence, and the next moment, the troops behind him moved.
They suddenly started running, and to everyone's astonishment, they began to surround them.
"General Miura, what is this?" Tani hurriedly called out.
Miura pretended not to hear and began to back away on his horse.
"What's going on? Don't these people look a bit unfamiliar?" someone shouted.
"What are you doing? What are you trying to do?!" Someone noticed something was wrong and began to question loudly, a nervous expression on their face.
"General Miura! Speak up! What is this?!" Tani watched as Miura walked behind the soldiers, his heart pounding, a strong sense of unease rising within him.
At that moment, a thought that sent chills down Tian Gu's spine quietly began to emerge.
"Pat-pat-pat".
But at that moment, the sound of horses' hooves was incessant, and the army had surrounded them all at an extremely fast speed.
Although they wore Japanese armor and carried weapons commonly used in the military, their cold faces were filled with a chilling intent.
Tian Gu finally roared:
"Could it be...could it be that you...you have betrayed us?!"
"No! You're not one of us?!"
It was too late.
The warhorses snorted heavily, and the cavalrymen raised their halberds.
Loud battle cries echoed across the harbor.
