Vol 5 Chapter 32 (2/2)

“Take care not to get injured, sister Guan.” “Don’t worry, if she has any injuries. I’ll mend her back to normal.”

Gan Qing and Hua Tuo, who were behind Lu Bu, gave us some words of concern. Though they looked tired, they still did their best to encourage us.

Even if I get to them to go and rest first, they probably won’t obediently accede.

“Ah, I know.” The me at this time, could only answer as refres.h.i.+ngly as possible as I mounted my horse.

— Open the gates!

Hu~ It’s the first time since Xu state city that I’m fighting as the defending side of a city.

As we exited the city gates with our several hundred men, troops with Yellow Turbans wrapped around their heads stood in haphazard rows that extended into the distance, making the landscape look like a wheat field in autumn.

“A rough estimate puts them at a few thousand.” Wen Yuan sighed after she said. Using a few hundred to face a few thousand was obviously not a good idea.

“We just have to do what we always have, and make up for numbers with our martial bravery.” As she said so, Wen Yuan raised her glaive above her head and twirled it about before she slashed down at the ground to her right. As the dust settled, a deep cut into the ground could be seen.

Like we always have huh. As expected of Wen Yuan, her mentality is deserving of respect.

As I thought so, I drew in a deep breath, and then yelled out at the Yellow Turban army, “We are here as representatives of the Administrator to negotiate with you traitors! If you still know what is loyalty and honour, then surrender to the Han! We will not exact violence upon you all if you do so!”

“Ha! What a joke!” A big man at the lead raised his head at my words and scoffed before taking out his machete at his side and swinging it about as a challenge.

Is this man the commander?

“He doesn’t even know how to swing a blade properly, looks like he’s a total amateur.” Wen Yuan smiled as she stoked her horse’s neck, completely disregarding the threat from the big man.

“Then…”

Who will answer the duel first? I looked at Wen Yuan and saw that she was somewhat interested in doing so.

Die!–

Un?

Just then, the yells for slaughter entered my ears.

We still haven’t decided to answer the challenge yet the other side has already begun to charge at us.
