"Commander Qin, I remember there should have been some of our Great Xia people on this island before, but we haven't seen a single one along the way?" Shen Mei, the female guard beside Qin Yu, asked curiously as the group walked through the mountains deep in Devil Island.

"Yes, where are those people?" The others were also puzzled.

Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Look, what's that up ahead?"

Following his pointing direction, everyone saw dozens of unidentifiable trees growing horizontally on the mountain ahead. On the branches of those trees, there were many dense things swaying in the wind.

"Wow, how come there are so many big bats hanging in the trees? It's daytime, aren't they afraid of the sunlight?"

"These bats are as big as a person, everyone be careful."

Qin Yu was the strongest among them, and naturally had the best eyesight. Looking into the distance, she felt that those things didn't look like bats.

"Be careful and go check it out."

At her command, the soldiers swiftly arrived at the base of the trees in less than three minutes.

Upon seeing what was hanging in the tree, everyone's faces darkened completely, and they clenched their fists so tightly that their teeth almost broke.

What was hanging in the tree weren't bats at all, but hundreds of dead bodies, men and women, old and young, all of them rotting.

Now everyone finally understood why they hadn't seen a single resident on the island all along their journey.

Qin Yu's beautiful eyes widened, burning with rage, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "These damned Japanese dogs, they actually killed all the residents of the island."

The others were also filled with righteous indignation, constantly letting out low growls, "Slaughter all the cherry blossom dogs on the island, avenge our Great Xia people!"

"Shen Mei, you take some men to keep watch around the area. Zhang Tao, you take twenty men and take those corpses down from the trees. We can't let these civilians' bodies continue to hang here." Qin Yu gave orders to the people around him.

"clear!"

Upon receiving the order, the two quickly sprang into action.

Before long, a total of 365 corpses were neatly arranged in front of Qin Yu.

She stepped forward to take a look, and immediately looked puzzled.

Apart from two deep wounds on their wrists, these people had no other injuries. All the blood in their bodies had disappeared, indicating that they had been drained of their blood and died.

What do the Japanese need so much blood for? And why are there exactly 365 corpses, corresponding to the 365 days of the year?

She instinctively felt that these people were probably carrying out some strange plan.

"Waaaaah..."

The weather at sea can change in an instant. Just ten minutes ago the sky was clear, but now it is suddenly covered with dark clouds and a strong wind is blowing.

The wind whistled through the jagged rocks in the mountains, creating a mournful sound that sent chills down one's spine.

"Commander Qin, I feel like something's not right here." Zhang Tao's eyes flickered a few times as he approached Qin Yu, looking somewhat frightened.

"You're scared of a little wind?" Qin Yu looked at him with great dissatisfaction. To put it mildly, he was cowardly in the face of battle; to put it more seriously, he was disrupting the morale of the army.

However, Qin Yu had already noticed the surrounding situation. It was too clean here. They didn't see any seabirds in the sky or wild animals in the mountains and forests.

To be able to assume the position of commander, Qin Yu not only possesses formidable personal martial prowess, but also boasts exceptional military skills, making him one of the most outstanding members of the Azure Dragon Army.

Sensing something was wrong, she immediately gave orders to everyone.

"Immediately enter combat readiness. Everyone, move closer to me and find advantageous terrain for an ambush. Scouts, quickly scout the surrounding area and launch the drones as well."

Upon receiving the order, her four squad leaders immediately responded.

"Number one in position!"

"Number two, in position!"

"Number three, in position!"

"Number four, in position!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Qin Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief. No matter what arrangements the Japanese had made on this island, she was confident that the people under her command could put them in a fighting position. Her biggest fear was that they would be divided and surrounded, and then defeated one by one.

The howling of the wind grew louder, and a faint, ominous aura seemed to shroud everyone, sending chills down their spines.

This is not their illusion; the malevolent energy is real.

Affected by the evil energy, some peak internal energy warriors were dazed and very nervous. However, their deep hatred for the people of Japan gave them a strong mental force to resist the erosion of the evil energy.

"Commander Qin, something is very wrong here. There's a high chance that the Japanese are lying in ambush. We should retreat first. We can't fall into their trap." Zhang Tao carefully concealed the cunning in his eyes and said urgently.

As Lin Bei had previously instructed, once Qin Yu retreated, the elite troops that the Sakura Kingdom had ambushed on the island would immediately launch an attack on them.

He and the other traitors will create chaos within the team and coordinate with the Japanese soldiers from the inside to annihilate this elite squad in one fell swoop, making a great contribution.

However, Qin Yu was much calmer than he expected, and the suggestion was rejected immediately as soon as it was uttered.

"No, we absolutely cannot retreat now. We may have already entered the enemy's ambush. Everyone hold your ground. As long as we don't panic, the Japanese won't find any openings to attack!"

"Understood!" everyone answered in unison, their resolute faces filled with determination, ready to fight the cherry blossom dogs to the death.

Only a few people, including Zhang Tao, showed a flash of annoyance in their eyes, cursing inwardly, "Does this woman have a God's-eye view?"

In reality, the Japanese didn't dare to station too many people on the island in order to lure Qin Yu. Qin Yu's judgment was completely correct; if they didn't move, the Japanese really wouldn't dare to attack.

"Commander Qin, I think we should retreat first. This stalemate can't go on!" Zhang Tao advised again.

Shen Mei coldly shouted, "Zhang Tao, with a formidable enemy at hand, how can you, a war god, utter such discouraging words? If you dare to disrupt morale again, don't blame Commander Qin for disciplining you according to military law!"

"I was just saying it casually, why did you take it seriously?" Zhang Tao chuckled awkwardly.

"There's no joking on the battlefield. Watch your words." Qin Yu gave him a meaningful look and warned him coldly.

Just then, a scout rushed in, shouting, "Commander Qin, a large number of martial arts experts have been spotted all around us and are rapidly approaching us!"

"The drones have spotted them too; these people are wearing Sakura people's clothes," another soldier alerted.

Even without them saying anything, Qin Yu had already sensed several incredibly powerful auras rapidly approaching. The people coming were at least at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and there might even be Golden Core experts among them. There was no doubt that they had indeed fallen into an ambush.

"Everyone, keep silent, prepare your weapons, and give the Japanese a surprise attack."

As soon as Qin Yu gave the order, Zhang Tao suddenly jumped onto a rock and roared angrily at the distant mountains and forests.

"You bunch of cherry blossom dogs, Grandpa's here waiting to kill you! Come at me if you dare!"

Upon hearing this, everyone on Qin Yu's side was shocked. This shout directly exposed their location, causing them to lose the initiative.
