Chapter 1172. Commencing (2)
“Hmm...”
One of Shinichi-kai’s captains, Yoshinobu, stared stiff-faced at the Japanese warriors jumping into the ocean below.
The sea must be as cold as ice, yet the ones jumping into it didn’t even hesitate once. Their superhuman level of discipline and determination eventually brought a satisfied smirk on Yoshinobu’s stony face.
With such outstanding elite warriors, conquering South Korea should be a breeze. They had already overcome supposedly the trickiest hurdle in this invasion, after all!
‘And did so with such ease, too.’
The first hurdle to overcome when invading the Korean peninsula was figuring out how to enter it. It didn’t matter how vast and powerful an army was if it couldn’t even land on the enemy territory.
The Japanese could have used planes to enter the country, or even smuggle themselves in as stowaways had their number been much smaller. However, that was not possible when the total number of warriors scheduled to invade Korea neared four thousand!
Ensuring the safe arrival of so many people was no easy feat. Thanks to the previous failed attempt, the Koreans had stepped up their surveillance of the eastern coastline. Not to mention, the fools from the Korean Martial Assembly must be standing guard with their eyes peeled at strategic points in the country’s east, too.
However, Cai Kechang stepped in to resolve that problem rather easily.
“...Even though I don’t appreciate smelling like fish!”
Yoshinobu smirked deeply at the sight of the Japanese warriors diving into the ocean.
Although the Japanese had to go through the cumbersome process of getting on planes bound for China, traveling to the Chinese coast, then climbing on to various rickety fishing vessels, everything was still acceptable, as long as the outcome was to his liking.
