"Otherwise I will make sure you die without a burial place!" Zhang Beixing said calmly, his tone so relaxed as if he was just talking about what to eat for dinner.

Yamashita Matsui did not hear clearly what Zhang Beixing said at first. He only felt that the other party had no expression on his face, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

So he turned to the soldier beside him and asked, "Who is that man standing on the waves? What did he say just now?"

The soldier was so frightened when he saw Zhang Beixing that his whole body was shaking. When he heard the general's question, he stammered and could not speak: "General... General... the enemy opposite... is called Zhang Beixing..."

When he said this name, he was so scared that he trembled all over.

That man was truly too terrifying, but for some reason the general of his own country insisted on being his enemy.

"General, please listen to my advice... That man is really powerful... Many people in our Great Sakura Empire have died at his hands..."

Yamashita Matsui found it unbelievable that the words that echoed in his ears were intended to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige.

"How could our great Sakura Empire produce a traitor like you who cheers for the enemy on the battlefield?" he scolded angrily.

Yamashita Matsui was filled with doubts and anger. How could such a person become a soldier of the Great Sakura Empire? If everyone was so weak and incompetent, who would defend the glory of the Great Sakura Empire?
When will the humiliation suffered by the Great Sakura Empire due to its small territory be redressed?
Thinking of this, he became more and more angry, and felt that the failure of this war and the sacrifice of many soldiers were all due to the existence of such people.

"It is because of people like you that our Great Sakura Empire has been unable to conquer Kyushu!" The more Yamashita Matsui spoke, the more he felt that his words made sense, and he even nodded involuntarily, as if to affirm his point of view.

Although the soldiers knew that this was nonsense and the real reason was that Zhang Beixing was too powerful, they did not dare to refute the general.

In the army of the Great Sakura Empire, Yamashita Matsui is the absolute authority, like the Big Dipper in the night sky, leading the army forward.

Anyone who dares to disobey his orders will be severely condemned by the people upon returning home.

Therefore, the soldiers never dared to disobey the general, not only because of his invincibility, but also because of his lofty status in the empire.

Yamashita Matsui has many supporters, whether in the military, civilians or the royal family.

His portraits can be seen everywhere in the Great Sakura Empire. Although those portraits have been processed and look a little hideous, his majestic and majestic image is still deeply loved by people.

In paintings, this white-haired old man in his seventies is often portrayed as a ferocious beast.

However, the soldiers had seen him in person and did not believe the exaggerated paintings.

Yamashita Matsui himself was aware of the images in those paintings, but he enjoyed them very much and believed that they were exactly his ideal self.

Today, he even wore a T-shirt with his own portrait printed on it.

The soldiers were very excited when they saw the general standing on the bow of the ship.

Even the elderly generals were fighting desperately, so how could these young and strong soldiers retreat?
"Soldiers, let's cheer up and learn from the general!" someone shouted loudly.

"Yes! Today we must conquer this country, not only for ourselves, but also for our families and people!" another person echoed.

The soldiers' passion was ignited, as if the previous defeat was just an illusion.

Finally, Yamashita Matsui stood on the bow and shouted: "As long as we unite as one, Kyushu will be conquered by us!"

The soldiers nodded in response, full of confidence.

However, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but become suspicious when he saw the fleeing ship suddenly return.

Why do these people choose to come back and die instead of leaving their own way?

This may be just as the ancient Kyushu saying goes: "If there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, you will go to hell even though there is no door." However, it does not seem appropriate here, because how can the tiny place of the Great Sakura Empire be called heaven?
Zhang Beixing stood on the waves, looking down at the ships that looked as small as ants.

This scene reminded him of his childhood game - digging out ant nests.

They looked for ant nests on the ground, watched the ants crawl back into the nests, and then killed them with hot water.

Now, he stood on the crest of the wave, watching the boats rushing towards the waves like ants, and found it quite interesting.

It is an honor for these annoying Great Sakura Empire soldiers to be compared with cute ants.

Zhang Beixing decided to tease these people, so he deliberately stopped in mid-air, with a panicked look on his face, and shouted loudly: "Oh no! Why are the waves not moving? What's going on?"

His voice was deafening, ensuring that every Great Sakura Empire soldier on the sea could hear it.

Then, he pretended to be terrified and said, "The waves are not moving! Oh my God, it's so high here, I'm so scared, am I going to fall down?"

After saying that, he found the right moment and jumped into the waves.

When Yamashita Matsui saw such high waves, he actually felt a little uneasy.

Although he was invincible, the scale and difficulty of previous wars were incomparable to today's.

He knew very well that his victory was not entirely due to his personal ability, but rather to excellent leadership, the right time and place, and the passion and physique of his youth.

However, now that he is old, he can't help but feel a little afraid when facing such a powerful opponent.

Especially when a large number of soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire had been killed by Zhang Beixing, he felt both angry and fearful.

He was afraid of death and no longer had the bravery and fearlessness of his youth.

However, for the sake of the country, he could not back down.

Only by conquering Kyushu can their country be revived. He was curious about how Zhang Beixing could control the waves, but he was unwilling to reveal his doubts to the soldiers in order not to weaken their morale.

He secretly made up his mind to bring Zhang Beixing back to China after the war to study whether his abilities could be used for his own benefit.

Although he is old, he still has the ambition to conquer the world for his country.

The soldiers on the ship had no idea what the general was thinking. They just watched the ship getting closer and closer to the huge waves, and their hearts were filled with fear.

However, when they thought they were about to die, they found that the huge waves in front of them gradually became smaller and the sea surface finally returned to calm. This scene shocked them.

When they first arrived at this sea area, the sea surface was as calm as it is today, like a huge blue sponge.

However, the good times did not last long. Ever since Zhang Beixing appeared, the sea surface often had huge waves for no reason. The ships that were originally sailing smoothly would suddenly be swallowed by the waves that came from nowhere, catching them off guard.

At first, they did not realize that Zhang Beixing could control the waves. They just thought that it was the special nature of the sea area or that they chose the wrong time that caused the ship to encounter frequent accidents.

Who would have thought that Zhang Beixing was behind all this.

This man's behavior was really despicable. He knew that he could not defeat their army in a head-on confrontation, so he used such despicable means to reduce the number of their soldiers. And this despicable behavior was far more than that for him.

A Japanese soldier angrily told the general about Zhang Beixing's evil deeds: "General, you don't know that Zhang Beixing is extremely despicable. With only a handful of scrap copper and a silver needle, he caused us heavy losses."

Just as he finished speaking, another silver needle quietly fell at his feet, shocking everyone.

Zhang Beixing watched as the attitude of the people on the boat changed from fear to numbness, and then to contempt, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

These people were finally fooled, and their long-term planning finally paid off.

The soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire seemed to be quite stupid. They always thought that they could not defeat Zhang Beixing and were blindly confident in their own strength. This was exactly what Zhang Beixing wanted. He wished that they would step into the trap he set step by step.

He controlled the waves, causing them to gradually subside and the ship to slowly sink below the sea level.

In fact, Zhang Beixing has the ability to walk on the waves. He can walk on the sea as if it were flat ground, and his speed is even several times faster than on land.

But he did not intend to show his strength at this moment. He wanted to make the people of the Great Sakura Empire think that he was in a desperate situation and that they had successfully lured him into a trap.

So Zhang Beixing pretended to sink to the bottom of the sea.

Sure enough, when the soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire, led by Yamashita Matsui, saw him fall to the sea level, there was a flash of disbelief in their eyes.

"How is this possible? How could Zhang Beixing fall into the water?"

"Isn't he able to fly on the waves? Why can't he fly now?"

"Could this be a trick on his part? He wants us to think he fell down, and then he suddenly rushes out to kill us?"

However, the soldier who made this guess was immediately severely rebuked by Yamashita Matsui: "Who said this? Stand up! What do you mean? Say it to me again!"

"What kind of trap is this? Isn't he a human? Controlling the waves is just a trick! You stupid soldiers have been fooled by him!"

The scolded soldier was dissatisfied. He felt that although General Yamashita Matsui had been invincible in the past, he was now old and weak and was not as brave as he was in the past.

They grew up listening to the general's legendary stories, but in their opinion, those glorious stories belonged to the past and could not cover up the general's current aging and stubbornness.

The soldier knew very well that in the Great Sakura Empire, a small soldier like him had no say at all.

So, he could only retreat silently and sent a message to his sister using the communicator: "Sister, I may never be able to go back. If you have a chance, leave the Great Sakura Empire and go to Kyushu. It is a place full of tolerance and you will live a better life there. If you can find my brother's ashes in the future, take me back with you."

He originally thought that participating in this war would give him the opportunity to go to Kyushu and realize his childhood dream.

However, it now seems that this dream may never come true. He realized that there was more to stay in Kyushu than invasion, but he no longer had the opportunity to try other possibilities.

He had a premonition that under the general's leadership this time, their army was doomed to be annihilated.

At this moment, Yamashita Matsui had no idea what the soldiers on his ship were thinking. His attention was focused on Zhang Beixing on the sea. He saw Zhang Beixing struggling in the sea, seemingly powerless.

This is a deep sea area, and even good swimmers find it difficult to swim back to the shore.

The two armies are now in a stalemate, and Zhang Beixing is the only one fighting alone on the Jiuzhou side.

If no one rescues him, he will surely die.

Although Yamashita Matsui had some doubts in his heart, he did not dare to act rashly. He thought to himself: "Zhang Beixing was standing on the waves, why did he suddenly fall down? There must be something fishy going on here!"

Although he suspected that this was a conspiracy, he could not show any weakness in front of the army. He could only think silently about the causes and consequences of all this.

Perhaps because they decided to counterattack Kyushu, Zhang Beixing deliberately fell from the waves in order to intimidate the soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire.

Yamashita Matsui felt that the soldiers on the ship's claim that Zhang Beixing could kill people with silver needles was simply absurd.

He thought to himself: "Even if someone can really kill people with a needle, how long would the needle have to be or how close would the distance have to be! Zhang Beixing was standing on such a high wave at the time, how could he have killed us with a needle? If he really had such a great ability, he would have been famous long ago. How could he still be unknown now?"

When he was young, he had made great military achievements and was hailed as the God of War.

And if this Zhang Beixing really had such great powers, his fame should have surpassed mine long ago.

"Impossible! There has never been such a rumor internationally." Yamashita Matsui concluded that those so-called silver needles were just illusions caused by splashing waves.

Thinking of this, he felt that he had seen through everything.

He firmly believed that Zhang Beixing was just a liar who was good at magic and scared the soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire out of their wits with just a few tricks.

"You are such a bunch of losers! Zhang Beixing is just one person, and he scared you like this with just a little magic trick!" He roared at the soldiers, thinking that they were a disgrace to the Great Sakura Empire.

The reason why the Great Sakura Empire failed to capture Kyushu for a long time was because of a group of cowardly soldiers like them.

Now that he is here, he must change everything and end this war quickly.

He looked at Zhang Beixing struggling on the sea, feeling very proud. He thought he had seen through Zhang Beixing's trick, but he never thought that this was just part of Zhang Beixing's plan.

"As long as you beg me, I will rescue you. In this vast ocean, if no one rescues you, you will be eaten by fish no matter how good your swimming skills are." Yamashita Matsui looked at the boundless sea around him and felt even more proud.

The people in their country are very good at swimming, but he forgot that Zhang Beixing is no ordinary person.

If he jumped into the sea at this moment, it is no exaggeration to say that even at his old age, he would still be able to swim several rounds with ease.

Zhang Beixing noticed that the old general on the ship gradually relaxed his guard, and he was secretly delighted in his heart. Everything was quietly unfolding according to his plan.

As long as everyone lets down their guard, he can wipe out everyone on the ship in one fell swoop. (End of this chapter)
