Vol 8 Chapter 5 (2/2)

Our side which wore green uniforms seems to be having a very big advantage. Though there were only 5,000 of them, they were the elite after all. As for the enemy side, their numbers were about the same as ours, but they did not have any formation and just charged rampantly. From how things look like now, they should be defeated soon.

As I looked at the enemies who had begun to escape in all directions, I felt pity for them.

“Where is Chen Gong and Zhou Cang?”

“They split their troops and counter-surrounded the enemy that attacked from the side, and are currently finis.h.i.+ng them off.”

That’s quick. As expected of Chen Gong huh.

“Chen Dao, send someone to notify Chen Gong and Zhou Cang. Tell them not to eradicate them. When it looks like they are going to give up, let them surrender and don’t kill them.”

“Yes.” Chen Dao replied, but she seemed hesitant. She’s probably worried about my safety.

“Go. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” I rea.s.sured her. Only then did she nod, and ride off.

Hu. When was the last time I personally commanded an army before today? If I remember correctly, it should be back in Xu state.

Winter has now come and gone. If I think about, I’ve been here a while now.

Just a year ago, I was still that childish me who just transferred into this era. And now, I had become thoroughly accustomed to life here, as well the people here.

Though war is not something I’m used to yet, I have been actively partic.i.p.ating in it and I can’t say my hands are clean. Of course, killing people is still something I believe is wrong. I have not changed my opinion on this even after I have killed.

Ah, what happened before is coming back to me now.

Don’t panic everyone, we haven’t reached Jiangxia yet. This is just somewhere on the way to Jiangxia. As for the opponents of this battle, they are just some robbers we ran into on the way to Jiangxia.

How could Sun Quan’s troops be so easily defeated?

But, I’ll be facing Sun Quan in battle soon huh…

The closer I get to it, the more pained I feel. In my mind, I keep picturing Sun Quan’s betrayed expression when she sees me on the battlefield.

All I can hope for now is that, that day comes later.
