The man from the Great Sea gritted his teeth, never expecting his empress to be so blunt about wanting to usurp the throne.
However, before Da Hai Ren could say anything, Lu Ye Zanliang waved his hand at his subordinates.
"Send the Emperor to his proper seat. Without my order, he is not to go anywhere in the inner palace except his bedroom."
Upon hearing this, the five subordinates hurriedly made way and gestured towards the door.
As the sound of the great sea being led away gradually faded into the distance, the atmosphere in the palace became even more somber.
Luye Zanliang frowned and continued to try to raise money, worried that Chen Zhennan might really go on a killing spree because he didn't have enough money.
...
At the seaside, the Japanese port has been completely taken over by 500 special forces soldiers.
They are like an indestructible Great Wall, protecting this sea area.
Chen Zhennan stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze piercing through the sea mist, staring at the sea surface as if searching for the approaching storm.
At this moment, Lin Cheng boarded the deck and came up behind Chen Zhennan.
"Lin Cheng, is there any news?" Chen Zhennan asked, his voice filled with anticipation.
Lin Cheng nodded slightly and said slowly, "We already have clues about Shadow. Their fleet should be able to approach the port around dark."
Chen Zhennan hummed in agreement and nodded approvingly.
"Be prepared. You decide how to arrange things, but make sure to wait until the Shadows have landed before taking action, lest the silver be lost at sea after the ship sinks."
Although Chen Zhennan really wanted to get rid of Shadow, he still wanted to get back the money from Beirong City more than Shadow.
"Understood, Your Majesty."
Lin Cheng nodded emphatically, then turned around to make the arrangements.
Lin Cheng ordered all warships to leave the port to avoid being discovered by the Shadows and thus afraid to dock.
As for the wreckage of the burned warships, they lay silently in the harbor like dead giants, impossible to clean up.
Lin Cheng then ordered a hundred team members to board the burned warships. Their figures appeared and disappeared among the wreckage, like ghostly sentinels, facing the harbor to prevent the Shadow People from escaping again.
As evening fell, the setting sun shone like blood. The fire in Edo Castle had been extinguished, but smoke was still rising.
Chen Zhennan followed Lin Cheng onto a Japanese warship that had been burned down, watching the sea gradually darken.
Lin Cheng stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, everything is ready. We are just waiting for the Shadow fleet to return."
Chen Zhennan grunted in response. He looked down at the submachine gun and magazine on the table next to him. His face was expressionless, cold as ice.
His fingers gently stroked the cold metal of the submachine gun, as if sensing the pulse of the impending battle.
"Lin Cheng, you take command. I only have one request: absolutely no Shadow assassins can be let go."
Lin Cheng nodded emphatically, his face full of determination, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have given a strict order that no Shadow assassin will be allowed to escape."
As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared below the horizon, night fell slowly over the sea like a giant black curtain.
The stars in the sky began to twinkle, and on the sea, specks of light gradually appeared, flickering like will-o'-the-wisps. A fleet of ships was slowly sailing toward the shore, their outlines appearing and disappearing in the night.
Chen Zhennan stood on the burned-out warship, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
He reached out and picked up the submachine gun, slowly releasing the safety, his eyes gleaming with determination.
The fleet slowly approached the shore, and Chen Zhennan heard a commotion of conversation. Although he couldn't understand their language, he could sense their doubts and unease in their exchanges.
The crew members in these shadows were clearly alert to the unusual situation in the port, but they still carried torches and disembarked one after another, slowly entering the already dangerous port.
Lin Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as sharp as a falcon's, staring intently at the people entering the port.
Seeing that almost everyone had come in, Lin Cheng slowly straightened up and reached into his waistband to take out a grenade.
Chen Zhennan gave a strange "oh," a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get this grenade?"
Lin Cheng smiled slightly and explained in a low voice, "I got this from Yan Shiyu. I want to test its power myself."
Under the cover of night, Lin Cheng suddenly stood up straight, pulled the pin on the grenade, and swung his arm sharply. The grenade, like a shooting star, streaked across the night sky and landed directly among the shadowy crowd below.
In the shadowy crowd, one of the assassins noticed the sparking grenade.
His eyes revealed a hint of curiosity, even a touch of disdain, as if mocking the insignificance of this little gadget.
He reached out, trying to pick up the dangerous stick, unaware that the death knell had already tolled for him.
Just two seconds later, a deafening "boom" ripped through the night sky as the grenade exploded.
Flames and smoke erupted among the crowd, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and lives were taken away in an instant.
The loud explosion became the signal to launch the attack. The special forces soldiers, like cheetahs that had been lying in wait, leaped out and threw countless grenades into the shadowy crowd.
Explosions rang out one after another, and the port was turned into a sea of fire.
Immediately afterwards, the special forces soldiers, carrying submachine guns, rushed out of the port. Their figures appeared and disappeared in the firelight, like demons from hell, reaping lives.
Gunfire erupted, accompanied by deafening explosions, plunging the entire port into chaos and death.
Although there were quite a few people in the Shadow faction, they were so stunned by the sudden attack that they had no time to react.
The Shadow Assassins shuddered in the shockwave of the explosion, their screams drowned out by the gunfire and the blasts.
After a round of gunfire and grenade bombardment, the space in the port was too small, and nearly half of the Shadows had been killed. Their bodies were scattered on the ground, and blood stained the earth red.
Chen Zhennan stood on the boat, firing wildly at the people below with a submachine gun.
The port below was dimly lit, and Chen Zhennan couldn't see anyone, but it didn't matter; he had plenty of bullets.
Chen Zhennan stood on the deck of the warship, the submachine gun in his hand like a fire-breathing dragon, its firepower so powerful it was suffocating.
Chen Zhennan pulled the trigger, and bullets poured out like a storm. He changed magazines more than ten times, and the barrel overheated and turned red due to continuous firing.
"Quick! Seize the Shadow's warship, lest any remaining soldiers on board sail away!"
Following Lin Cheng's command, the crew members on the ship rushed off and headed towards the Shadow warship that had just arrived in port.
Chen Zhennan put down his hot submachine gun and stared at the explosions below.
"My money is back!"
