Just then, a guard rushed in to report.
"Second Master, we have spotted a large Japanese pirate ship at sea. The ship is moving very fast, and we estimate there are quite a few people on board."
Yunye's eyes lit up; more Japanese pirates had come to deliver ships.
Where are they now?
The guard lowered his eyes. "The other side is very vigilant. When they were getting close to the shore, they realized something was wrong and turned around to leave the shore as quickly as possible."

Once there was a first one, there was a second one.
People on the wrecked boat were jumping into the sea one after another, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Yunye wore a mocking smile. "Archers, prepare!"
