Kosuke Murata rubbed his forehead, his eyes filled with unprecedented confusion.
“They must have brought these warhorses by warship!” a scout said.
But as soon as he said that, he realized he had said something completely unrealistic and stupid.
A gentle breeze stirred the grass blades on the ground, and Yoshino Chido murmured to himself:
"Strange...strange..."
"General! Now is not the time to think about this! The enemy is advancing fiercely and is heading straight for us! We will soon be engaged in close combat with them!" the scout said nervously.
Yoshino Chido looked at Murata Kosuke, awaiting his decision.
"What on earth is going on? What is happening with the Yan Kingdom?! What's going on with them?!"
"They fought fiercely all day without rest, and now they're organizing their troops to continue advancing, and even cavalry has appeared?!"
"Who...who are we fighting?!"

Although it was late at night, it was still a sleepless night.
The candlelight flickered as Nobuo Sakamoto paced back and forth in his home, his brow furrowed in deep thought.

"Baka! You idiot!"
With these thoughts in mind, Nobuo Sakamoto abruptly stopped and clapped his hands.
"That bastard Huang Tianwei probably realized this situation, which is why he fled early. After all, he was the only one who withdrew from the battlefield!"
"I also need to prepare for my escape! I should head to Wangdong Port first and find those guys! If we're really outmatched, we'll probably need their help! With them involved, Yan Kingdom will surely give them face and back down!"
"After all, Yan Kingdom wouldn't dare to clash with two countries at the same time!"
