Acai's Sky

Chapter 453: Riding the Wind and Waves, Determination to Fight

Li Muchen stared at the nautical chart carefully. This nautical chart was carefully prepared in advance by Manager Tang. It detailed the routes and locations to the many Japanese islands, and every detail was clearly visible.

Li Yifei was intently studying the Japanese feng shui map, marveling at the thought: "My cousin has already understood the Japanese situation so thoroughly. How could this tiny island nation have such enormous ambitions?"

Li Yizhou laughed contemptuously and said disdainfully: "We inland countries have all the beautiful things they yearn for. We are just coveting them!"

Li Fanyin leisurely wiped the hand oil from her hands and said with satisfaction: "My little cousin has arranged everything properly, so we don't have to worry about any consequences."

Li Fanyu excitedly looked out the window at the magnificent seascape and said happily, "This ship is so well built. Even in the face of such turbulent waves, it can still remain stable..."

Li Yixuan carefully wiped his beloved sword and said with emotion, "Yes, my cousin gave most of the money she earned to everyone, and the rest was all used to build these merchant ships!"

Li Yifei put down the feng shui map in his hand and retorted disapprovingly: "This is not the specification of a merchant ship at all, it is clearly built according to the standards of a warship. The so-called merchant ship is just used to fool those stupid people!"

Li Yizhou couldn't help but say, "That's right. How can merchant ships be transformed into warships so quickly? Even just adding artillery would take quite a while, let alone 200 ships. How is that even possible?"

Li Muchen looked at his younger generation and laughed, saying earnestly, "You guys, this time you came out mainly to train yourselves and get some military merits."

As he spoke, he shook the sea chart in his hand and continued, "If it weren't for your cousin's subordinates who have been paving the way for you for the past ten years, do you really think you can do anything? Take a good look at this sea chart, then look at the feng shui map in Yifei's hand, and this huge fleet of warships..."

He paused, then added, "If these preparations weren't complete, would we dare to go out and annihilate the Japanese? And why did the teams responsible for transporting supplies need to prepare ten years in advance? Without sufficient weapons and equipment, who would dare to fight the Japanese head-on?"

Li Yifei nodded repeatedly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table as he sighed, "Yes, we started learning various techniques and tactics from Xiaojia ten years ago, especially the Xiaoshui aspect, which was taken very seriously. Isn't this to ensure we are always ready for the battlefield?"

The people were not fools. As soon as the emperor said to crush the southern barbarians and destroy the Japanese, they knew that it was time for them to go to the battlefield!

Li Muchen's gaze fell on the carefully drawn nautical chart again. Every island and every route seemed to be telling of the upcoming adventures and challenges.

"In this action, we not only represent ourselves, but also the face of the entire dynasty." His voice was steady and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart.

Li Yizhou's eyes flashed with determination upon hearing this. "Yes, we must not bring shame to the dynasty! Those Japanese are nothing but clowns."

He clenched his fists, as if he had already seen the moment when he would personally chop off the head of the Japanese leader.

Li Fanyin smiled lightly and wiped the hand oil off her hands. She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the surging waves, and her eyes flashed with excitement.

"This battle will be the pinnacle of our lives. As long as we work together, we will surely win!"

Li Fanyu also stood up and walked to Li Fanyin's side. The two stood side by side, as if they were a pair of heroines about to charge into battle.

"Big sister, you're right! We will definitely win!" Her voice was firm and powerful, full of infinite longing for the future.

Li Yixuan continued to wipe his sword, the sword light was like a dragon, reflecting his cold face.

"This sword is thirsty. It longs to drink the blood of the Japanese and bring glory to our dynasty!" His tone was full of murderous intent, as if he couldn't wait to rush onto the battlefield and kill everyone.

Li Muchen looked at these young juniors and couldn't help feeling relieved.

Although they are young, they all have firm beliefs and extraordinary courage. With their help, this operation will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Okay, is everyone ready?" Li Muchen's voice echoed in the cabin, breaking the brief silence.

Everyone nodded, indicating that they were ready. Li Muchen nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and shouted:

"Then let's go! Let's use this battle to prove our strength and worth!"

Following Li Muchen's command, the atmosphere in the cabin instantly became tense and solemn. Everyone returned to their posts and began to get busy.

The sailors on the ship also began to adjust the ship's posture in preparation for the upcoming voyage.

The sea breeze whistled past, and the sails fluttered in the wind.

The massive fleet of warships, propelled by the waves, slowly sailed forward, their brightly colored flags fluttering in the wind, as if announcing their arrival to the world.

Li Muchen stood at the bow, looking at the gradually receding coastline, his heart filled with lofty ambitions.

"This time, we will not only eliminate the great threat of the Japanese, but also let the world know the power and majesty of our dynasty!"

His voice was firm and powerful, as if it could penetrate the layers of waves and reach every corner in the distance.

As time went on, the battleship formation gradually moved away from the coastline and entered the vast ocean.

The wind and waves on the sea were getting stronger and stronger, but the warships were like giant dragons, moving freely through the waves without fear.

Inside the cabin, everyone was busy with their own work.

Li Yifei and Li Yizhou were studying tactics and enemy situations; Li Fanyin and Li Fanyu were checking weapons and equipment; and Li Yixuan was alone, silently practicing swordsmanship in the corner of the cabin.

During this long voyage, time seemed to be extremely long.

But no one was slacking off or relaxing at all. They were all making final preparations for the upcoming battle.

Finally, after several days of sailing, the warship fleet arrived at the edge of the Japanese waters.

Looking at the vast ocean and the vague outline of the island in the distance, everyone felt an inexplicable excitement and tension in their hearts.

"Is everyone ready?" Li Muchen's voice echoed in the cabin again.
