“What, what are you doing??”
The expressions on the faces of the attendants holding sharp knives were too strange.
So much so that these Japanese people, even before the palace castration began, already felt intense malice.
Therefore, they asked nervously.
However, no one responded to their inquiries.
“Let’s pull out five people first!!”
“Alright!!”
With that said, some soldiers pulled out five Japanese men and left.
It wasn’t just the soldiers and the Japanese men who left; the attendants also went out.
Not long after they left, screams immediately came.
“Ah!!”
“Ah!! Woo woo! Ugh!”
The intense pain spread directly throughout the bodies of the five Japanese men who were pulled out.
The five of them could essentially only scream.
The excruciating pain made them unable to speak properly.
As a result, they were castrated, and no message was conveyed, so the other Japanese people didn't know what had happened to them.
The other Japanese people, hearing the sounds, could only feel that these people were in great pain.
As for why they were in pain, they didn’t know.
And when the soldiers entered again, they became exceptionally nervous.
“What, what are you doing??”
“I don’t want to go out! I don’t want to go out!!”
“Ah! Ah! Don’t pull me, don’t pull me!!”
These Japanese people didn’t know what was happening, but they instinctively felt fear.
Because of this, some of them struggled violently.
However, such struggles were all in vain.
The soldiers wanted to pull them out, and they were powerless to resist.
However, their shouting and commotion did have a certain impact on Lin Tian, who was on another ship.
Therefore, Lin Tian ordered:
“Stuff their mouths, and stop them from yelling!”
This action made the Japanese people even more clueless about what was happening.
The only thing they knew was that the Japanese people who went out never made a sound again, nor did they ever return.
This never returning didn’t reassure the remaining Japanese people; instead, it filled them with endless dread.
After the first scream, they already knew that something bad was about to happen.
Now that they could no longer hear screams, they understood even more that something bad had happened.
However, with the absence of sound, they knew even less.
This lesser knowledge intensified the fear in everyone's hearts.
However, no matter how terrified they were, it couldn’t change their fate.
Having boarded the ship, they had nowhere to escape.
So, one by one, they were all taken to undergo palace castration.
After all the Japanese people had finished their castration, one by one, they lay in the ship’s cabin, their eyes filled with despair.
Only after personally experiencing it did they understand what had happened.
However, compared to this understanding, they would have preferred not to understand.
“I’m gone, mine is gone!”
“I’m not a man anymore, I’m not a man anymore, and I can’t be with women anymore!”
“Wuwu! I don’t want to live anymore, I want them dead, I want them dead!”
After the castration, many of them harbored thoughts of death.
However, even if they were to die, they wanted to avenge themselves.
Therefore, many of them had fierce eyes and were restless.
If it weren’t for the immense pain they were in, and their wounds not yet healed, making them unable to move, they might have fought desperately.
And these wounds also delayed their actions.
This delay also caused the hatred in some people's hearts to fade slightly.
This was not to say that they no longer wanted to avenge themselves.
It was because their wounds were no longer as painful, and their desire to fight desperately was not as strong.
Those who truly wanted to die to avenge themselves were ultimately only a small portion.
However, before they could take revenge, their thoughts of revenge were interrupted by an unforeseen event in the sea.
Lin Tian’s ship, which was sailing normally on the sea, suddenly experienced unusual undulations.
Immediately after, everyone saw a colossal creature emerge from the sea.
This colossal creature was even larger than Lin Tian’s ship.
Its appearance shocked many people.
Especially for many of the Great Qin soldiers, they were even more astonished.
“What… what is this thing? Why is it so huge?”
“Hiss! Is this a fish? Is there such a big fish in the world? Am I hallucinating?”
“What does this behemoth want? Is it going to attack our ship? Our ship can’t withstand its attack!”
Lin Tian’s ship was very large, and such a colossal vessel could be considered the largest ship in the world at this time.
But even this ship seemed small in front of the whale.
Especially since this whale had clearly lived for a long time, had plenty of food, and eaten a great deal, which made it even more extraordinary.
Lin Tian’s ship, in front of it, could no longer be called large.
More importantly, this whale also exhibited strong aggression.
It seemed as if it would attack Lin Tian’s ship the next moment.
Lin Tian was very surprised by this.
He didn’t recall whales attacking passing ships.
This whale shouldn’t attack his ship, right?
Lin Tian thought this and felt a sense of relief.
The real concern at sea should be sharks.
Because sharks would follow ships after smelling blood and would truly attack people.
As for whales, they were not as concerning.
However, just as Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt his ship shake violently.
This violent shaking was not caused by waves, but more like an attack.
The intense undulations made many people lose their balance, and at the same time, cries of panic arose.
“Not good, that big fish is attacking our ship!”
“Damn it, what is it doing? Is it trying to capsize our ship? Is it trying to make us drown?”
“What is this thing? Why is it attacking us? How do we deal with this thing?”
Lin Tian’s soldiers, seeing a whale for the first time, indeed lacked experience in dealing with such a situation.
However, the soldiers in the army remained very calm.
While others were in a panic, they immediately reacted and quickly issued their orders.
“Shoot arrows, shoot quickly, kill it!”
“Kill it, no matter why it is attacking our ship, the majesty of our Great Qin cannot be challenged!”
