Boom!
A clap of thunder rang out in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.
At the same time, Kiyoshi, Kogoro, Yukio, and Shohei leaped onto the shore from the fishing boats with their subordinates.
Right at that moment, they had over two thousand soldiers.
Their numbers exceeded that of Eurasia's by twenty times.
Kiyoshi and the others wore excited expressions on their faces, all fired up to launch their attack and obliterate Colin and the rest before planting their flag on Daragon Island.
But no sooner had they disembarked the fishing boats and stepped foot on Daragon Island than the phones and military communicators on them received incoming messages and started beeping.
Kiyoshi, Kogoro, Yukio, and Shohei were Gods of Warrior in the navy. Their statuses were unique, so they could still carry military-use rugged phones when executing missions.
At that instant, they all heard their phones beeping with incoming messages.
Puzzled, they took out their phones, one after another.
When they had done so and glanced down, they found that they had all received the same message.
It read: Welcome to Daragon Island on Eurasia's territory. Please retreat immediately, lest we misjudge your intention. Otherwise, you'll be bearing all the consequences.
At once, Kiyoshi and the others were all stunned.
With rage written all over his face, Kiyoshi promptly cursed, “What despicable Eurasians! This is our territory, yet they dared to claim it as their own!”
Likewise, Kogoro snarled, “Let's kill all the Eurasians on the island! Then, we'll plant our flag on the most conspicuous spot on Daragon Island before filming it and sending it to the various major media outlets in the world. We'll have the whole world witness our flag flying on Daragon Island. Consequently, the entire world will know that Daragon Island belongs to us!”
Yukio, Shohei, and the over two thousand Jetroinian soldiers masquerading as fishermen behind them seconded in unison.
Afraid that his comrades would steal the credit from him, Kiyoshi took the lead and charged forward with his red-tasseled spear in hand.
“Charge! Let's kill them all!”
Not to be outdone, the rest of the Jetroinian soldiers rushed toward Colin and the others like a tidal wave at the sight of him taking the lead.
That night, Colin was attacked time and again by the Four Gods of Warrior of the Jetroinian Navy.
Several times, he thwarted the enemy's advance and slaughtered countless foes. But after a drawn-out battle, he was already at the end of his rope then.
In the face of the spirited Kiyoshi, he couldn't quite hold out anymore.
Nonetheless, he could only bite the bullet and meet him head-on with a roar alongside the remaining hundred soldiers.
