Saigo, on deck, waved his hand and shouted, "Prepare for landing!"
"Yes, General!" the soldiers shouted.
Saigo took a deep breath and a smile spread across his face.
"Great, this is indeed a good place."
"Even the air here seems to smell sweet!"

Behind the city wall, Dian Wei stroked his chin and said:
"The Japanese devils are here, shouldn't we fight them?"
Qin Ze stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Wait, get a little closer."
