Chapter 124 – All Must Be Eliminated; The Extermination of Private Soldiers
Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto
“SHAAA, HAAAA!!!!!!!” Wancheng city has been engulfed in a sea of flames. Wailing and weeping; sounds of horror can be heard everywhere.
Liu Mang, in order to draw out the n.o.ble families who partic.i.p.ated in rebellion, stayed inside Wancheng city with only 1,000 people. However, the n.o.ble’s private soldiers numbered more than 20,000 troops. Properly speaking, the battle should already be finished, but the sound of battle is still going.
In their eyes, everyone is an enemy and everyone who does not belong to the n.o.bles need to be purged. Everyone including commoners are merit to them.
For example, the Yu clan’s private soldiers had beheaded more than 2000 people. From these numbers, 10% of them are part of Lu Bu’s army the remaining 90% are Wancheng city’s commoners.
Wancheng city is Lujiang’s government body. It governs several thousand commoners. But now, these commoners became a target for merit by the n.o.ble’s private soldiers.
Battles often took place in Wancheng City, so the commoners quickly locked their houses and hid inside them. But they cannot fight back, when the n.o.ble’s private soldiers crashed their doors forcefully, the private soldiers who were already in a frenzy, robbed their things and raped their women.
“Honorable soldier, I beg you, please spare us, please spare us!” An old man is pleading to the “honorable” soldier. On the face of this helpless old man there is a horrified expression.
“Spare you? Can sparing you give this “Honorable” me merits? Can it make this “Honorable” soldier become really honorable?!” The private soldier kicked the old man aside. These private soldiers are not stupid enough to take this old man’s head as a trophy. So instead, those n.o.ble private soldiers target men who are still in their prime, strong and healthy for their military merit.
He quickly targeted the youth who has already been scared stiff. “Poof!” Blood is bursting from that youth and spurted toward that private soldier’s face. That soldier just licked the blood with his tongue.
“No, no, no, no. My grandson Gou, my grandson Gou!” The old man who had been lying on the ground after seeing his grandson dead in front of him was truly heartbroken. That young man is his favorite grandson but he was no more.
“Heh, old man. You did not have any valuable things in your house, so I killed your grandson in exchange for it. You should be thankful that I did not let him suffer!” These private soldiers are ecstatic. Because he had obtained five heads for his promotion. The next five head can get him 100 taels of gold and if he did not want a promotion, his promotion can be exchanged with 500 taels of gold.
“Oh, oh, oh, Gou my grandson. GOU!!!!” The old man’s heart died. His only grandson had not yet married, but now he died under this butchers knife.
Seeing that old man crying profusely, the private soldier muttered “Bah, no luck in this house! To the next house!!!”
“Wait, you and I still have a score to settle. You kill my GOU, RETURN MY GOU TO ME!!!!” Looking at that butcher about to leave. The old man suddenly got a burst of strength from adrenaline, and grabbed that private soldier. That private soldier did not notice at all that old man grabbed him and was judo-thrown by that old man.
He quickly fell down to the ground. His mouth is eating the yellow soil and his helmet already dropped.
“You accompany my Gou, GIVE ME BACK MY GOU!!!!” The old man was. .h.i.t with grief and anger, actually giving that soldier a good fight.
“OLD FART, YOU WANT TO DIE? I'LL SEND YOU TO h.e.l.l ALONG WITH YOUR GRANDSON!!!” That private soldier slowly responded. He was stunned a moment ago, but now he has responded wildly. And because he is in pain, he got angry and choked the old man as fierce as possible.
“OLD FART!!! YOU!!! YOU DARE TO HIT ME!!!! I'LL KILL YOU LIKE A DOG!!!!”
“RETURN MY GOU, RETURN MY GOU TO ME!!!!” An old man is no match for a healthy young person. His neck was choked so hard so he is unable to breathe, however the old man just stubbornly held the private soldier's hair.
“RELEASE ME, RELEASE ME, OLD b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!!” Ancient people take pride in their long hair, because they believe that the hair is a gift from ones parents. Cutting your hair means that you cut down your own parents. Therefore in ancient times, people had long hair. Right now the private soldier's hair was held by the old man, it is really painful. So painful that his tears almost come out.
“RETURN MY GOU TO ME, RETURN MY GOU TO ME!!!” The old man just repeating same sentence over and over.
“AAAAHHHHHH!!!” The private soldier exerted his strength again and said “OLD b.a.s.t.a.r.d, LET GO OF MY HAIR, LET GO!!!!” after saying that, he quickly overturned his body so the old man is on the ground and he is above the old man.
Although the soil is quite muddy, it cannot hold the impact force exerted by that private soldier and so after three hits, that old man's forehead become b.l.o.o.d.y.
“RETURN MY GOU, MY GOU!!!!” the old man vomited blood.
“LET ME GO, LET ME GO!!!!” And with those words, that private soldier continued slamming that old man’s forehead against the ground.
