Another black object landed in the middle of the attacking force, blasting countless soldiers into the sky.
A severed arm fell directly onto Sanada Yushin's shoulder, startling him so much that he froze in his tracks and then began to run frantically backward.
At this point, he no longer cared whether Hojo Rin's arrows were aimed at him; he only knew that if he took another step forward, he would surely die a gruesome death.
He chose to die a mutilated corpse over being shot by an arrow.
Moreover, given the current chaos, even adults might not be able to find him, so he still has a chance to escape.
Before he could run a few steps, the black object on the Xiaohai was thrown out again, landing right in front of Sanada Yushin.
Sanada Yushin stared wide-eyed in horror at the object that had fallen to the ground, his mind blank.
His last conscious thought was seeing his hands and feet flying in different directions into the sky.
Hojo Rin watched as her men were wiped out once again, her face darkening to the point of being almost dripping with rage.
Takenaka Yoshinobu advised again, "My lord, there must be many more strange things in Great Chu. Sending more people up there would be nothing more than sending them to their deaths. Why don't we go back and report to the general and await his orders?"
He realized that the more people there were in the Great Chu, the greater its power became, so he decided to go back and think of a countermeasure.
Hojo Rin remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Retreat!"
Takenaka Yoshinobu quickly gave the signal to retreat, and the remaining soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew as quickly as possible.
Nobody's a fool; everyone can see that continuing like this is just suicide. There's absolutely no chance of winning against this strange thing called Great Chu.
The people have left.
Su Ruojin and Su Muyao also came out, looking at the Great Chu warships still burning on the sea, and the corpses of Yamato soldiers scattered all over the beach.
Some soldiers were wounded and helped each other retreat.
Xiao Yanchu did not order anyone to hunt them down.
"Ah Jin, we've been out long enough, it's time to go back," Xiao Yanchu said.
Su Ruojin understood what he meant, "Okay."
"Hu Qing, have everyone come over here."
"Yes!" Hu Qing accepted the order and left.
A few pigeons flew out from the Xiaohai.
No one noticed that in a corner of the Xiaohai, someone was initially looking at everything in front of them in horror, but then their eyes gradually calmed down.
Chiyo Tachibana had not left the Xiaohai before; she witnessed everything on the ship and was utterly shocked.
She had only one thought in her mind: Da Chu Yuan was not someone Da He could afford to offend.
Chiyo Tachibana understood that the fact that the Prince and Princess of Great Chu had her stay on the ship and witness the strange thing the people of Great Chu were using proved only one thing: they weren't afraid of her leaking secrets at all.
That's true, what can she do even if she sees it?
She had no idea what these things were, and even if she did, she wouldn't know how to make them, let alone how to launch them from the ship.
So why bother guarding against her?
As someone who was by the emperor's side, Tachibana Chiyo naturally knew more about the situation and politics than ordinary women. She knew that this was not a matter of whether the Prince and Princess of Great Chu were wary of her or not.
It was clearly intentional on her part to let her see it.
The purpose is...
After everything calmed down, Tachibana Chiyo came to say goodbye to Su Ruojin and the others.
The person has been rescued, and she should return to the Imperial Palace now.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I will definitely visit you in person to express my gratitude another day," Su Ruojin said.
The second brother was misled by the illusion and drew the wrong layout of the shogunate. Even so, they were able to rescue the person in the end. However, Tachibana Chiyo provided some information so that they could take precautions and also made Su Ruojin think of using Suzuki Masao's ability.
Moreover, Chiyo Tachibana gave her the Emperor's token, which reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Your Highness is too kind. Now that the princess has been rescued, I should return." Tachibana Chiyo turned around to leave, but then stopped and looked back at Su Ruojin.
"Your Highness, I doubt the General will let this go. Why don't you leave now?"
