VOLUME 8 CHAPTER 5: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS ON THE WAY TO JIANGXIA (1)

Liu Bei POV

I was currently lying unmoving on the ground, and in my sh.e.l.l-shocked state, all I could remember was that I fell off my horse.

Eh… I got up with great difficulty and felt my breastplate, and then my legs, and then my arms. When I checked that my limbs were attached and there was no wound, I finally felt at ease.

Dust and sand were flying about and I couldn’t make out the battle situation was like. It was also very noisy and I couldn’t discern any particular sounds either.

I don’t know if it’s because I just regained my senses, but my heart wasn’t affected by the surroundings I was in, and I was actually rather relaxed.

But this relaxed state lasted a grand total of 1 second.

“Die!” Just then, a loud, angry and hoa.r.s.e roar came from the side. I looked over, and saw an enemy soldier with a long spear charging at me.

I tried to stand in my panic but the soldier was already right in front of me, and stabbing at me over and over,

I frantically got into position and blocked his attacks with my heavy twin swords. I swatted his attacks left and right, and because he put too much strength into his attacks, his balance was not good and I was able to knock him to the ground with a body blow.

Hu… I heaved a sigh of relief when the danger of my life was neutralised.

“My lord! Are you alright!” Just then, a yell and the sound of horse hooves came from my left. I looked over, and saw Chen Dao with her long braids floating behind her as she rushed to where I was with her long spear in hand.

“I’m fine!” I raised my hand as I replied her, and grabbed the reins of the horse beside me. If my memory serves me well, this horse should be mine.

“Why don’t you sit with me on my horse, my lord? I can protect you better that way as well.”

“No, no need for that for now.” I turned her down mildly as I mounted my horse and got into position.

It will be a little too disheartening to rely on someone else when things have only just begun. At the very least, I should push myself to my limit first.

Now then… What’s the situation like…

“Chen Dao, what’s the combat situation like now?”

“My lord, we’ve suppressed our enemies successfully.”

I held on tightly to my reins so that my horse wouldn’t wander about and looked into the distance and see what the situation was like.
