(Since June 18th, I have been busy with graduation matters and have no time to update. The Wenhou Network Parade has always been using a saved manuscript, which was uploaded by the editor-in-charge. There is no saved manuscript here. Beard is a college graduate. This graduation certificate is very important. I hope everyone can understand. There should be nothing much to do until September, so the update will not stop. I hope everyone can understand the inconvenience caused during this period.)
Although Lu Bu had just finished studying the Whirling Sakura and had consumed a large amount of energy, he was still able to observe the approaching bandits.
In the surroundings, other than the 15 light cavalry who had followed Lu Bu for the first time, as well as Lu Hu and Kuai Zheng, the other 110 soldiers, including the half-baked general Barbaric Bull, were all nervous. Many of them were holding their weapons with trembling hands. After all, this was their first real battle. These Horse Gang made a living by pillaging. They killed people without blinking and hung their heads on their waists. They had long forgotten about life and death, unlike the Mountain Bandits who ruled the mountains. Although his days were more stable, in terms of killing intent and combat experience, he was far from being a match for these bandits!
"Are you afraid?" Lu Bu's gaze landed on Barbaric Bull, who was standing beside him, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Lu Bu's standards for generals were very special. You could be weak and weak, but you had to be bold. If you didn't even have the courage to face death, what right did you have to be called a general? No matter how strong he was, he was just an ordinary person with slightly stronger strength.
"No!" Faced with Lu Bu's gaze that seemed to be able to pierce through one's heart, Bull felt his chest tighten. Although Lu Bu's gaze did not seem to be oppressive, Bull felt his face turn red. A surge of blood rose in his chest, as if he had used all his strength to roar. It was as if he was speaking to Lu Bu, but also to himself.
"Use your actions to prove that you have the qualifications to become a general and my disciple.”Lu Bu merely glanced at the Barbarian Bull indifferently and did not say anything else. He turned to look at the approaching Horse Gang and rode his horse to the front of the army with Lu Hu and Kuai Zheng. Although his body was weak, his back was as straight as a spear, as if he was not facing the ferocious Horse Gang, but rather a dog. The Heavenly Halberd in his hand was pointed diagonally, and his cold eyes looked at the charging Horse Gang as if he was looking at a group of dead people.
As if inspired by something, the initially hesitant soldiers of the Furious Bears Village suddenly felt their spirits lift when they saw Lu Bu's straight figure at the front. Their morale instantly rose by more than 10 points, and their eyes gradually became firm. This was the greatest significance of a general on the battlefield. A good general could often inadvertently raise the morale of the soldiers with an action that could be ignored. Although Lu Bu did not have the strength he had in the real world, he had become a symbol in the hearts of the people of Furious Bears Village. As long as he was there, Furious Bears Village and the Furious Bears Army would not collapse!
"Kill them!"
Lu Bu suddenly shook his halberd. Under the stunned gaze of the bandit leader, the third-rate general, he took the lead and charged forward. The refined iron halberd in his hand trembled slightly and danced in the air. The tip of the halberd instantly touched the blade that was about to slash down.
"Ding ~"
The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing rang out. Although Lu Bu was currently in a weakened state and his martial strength was far inferior to his opponent, his battle experience, vision, and aura were far superior to the Horse Gang leader's. This halberd strike was also aimed at the moment when his opponent's old strength had been exhausted and his new strength had just been born. This was the moment when this move was at its weakest. The halberd technique also contained some of the spinning techniques that he had just comprehended. The Golden Back Great Ring Saber was deflected by this halberd strike and almost flew out of his hand.
Lu Bu's attack did not stop. He pulled the halberd forward, and the sharp halberd blade slashed towards the opponent's throat.
A sense of powerlessness came from his arm, and he could no longer support the weight of the refined iron halberd. Although he had used more force in the series of movements just now, he still needed to use four taels of strength to deflect a thousand pounds. The strength that Lu Bu had accumulated earlier had long been used up by this series of movements. The only reason he could persist until now was because he was Lu Bu. If it had been anyone else, they would have been exhausted long ago.
"Puchi ~"
The halberd fell a bit, and the halberd that was originally aimed at the bandit leader's throat left a long gash on his chest. A large amount of blood spurted out, adding a bit of malevolence to Lu Bu's handsome face!
Since he was not dead yet, the Horse Gang leader did not have time to study why the other party would spare his life at the critical moment. He turned his horse around and fled back to his formation in a sorry state.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Lu Fengxian. You have defeated the leader of the Horse Gang, Deng Kang. The combat strength of your subordinates has increased by 10%, and the combat strength of the Horse Gang has decreased by 5%.”
"Kill them!"
Lu Bu's actions caused the Horse Gang's momentum to falter. Lu Hu and Kuai Zheng, who were following closely behind Lu Bu, could tell that Lu Bu was already at the end of his rope. They instantly arrived in front of Lu Bu and protected him in the middle.
Lu Bu ignored the fatigue coming from his body and the warning from the system. His wolf-like eyes stared at the enemy's formation. The Horse Gang leader's escape just now had created quite a big flaw. As the god-level commander of the three countries, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity. Lu Bu used his last bit of strength to draw his halberd and gave the order to charge. However, because he had exhausted his strength, his body swayed slightly and he almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, the soldiers of Furious Bears Village were extremely excited. He did not notice this detail.
As if to make up for the 'bad' impression he had left on Lu Bu, the Barbaric Bull charged the most fiercely. The halberd in his hand danced like a sharp knife, stabbing into the enemy's weakness. However, without Lu Bu's killing intent, it was difficult to cause much of a shock. On the other hand, the fifteen cavalrymen who had been following Lu Bu charged left and right under Lu Bu's command, constantly widening the enemy's weakness, and finally, the enemy's formation was scattered.
Deng Kang faced off against Lu Hu. The system had given him the information of the bandits when they attacked the village. Deng Kang's strength was 65, the same as Lu Hu's. However, Deng Kang had been defeated by Lu Bu earlier and was almost killed. Moreover, the situation of the bandits was not optimistic, so he had to divert his attention to command them.
On the other hand, Lu Hu had been recuperating his energy and did not need to care about the battle situation. He was fully focused on fighting. In addition, Lu Bu's victory had boosted their morale by quite a bit. In the end, Deng Kang was defeated and captured by Lu Hu.
Deng Kang being captured alive was like a bolt from the blue to the Horse Gang. Their morale and combat strength dropped drastically. More than a hundred cavalrymen were tied down by less than a hundred infantry. Once the cavalrymen lost their ability to charge, they were like infantry riding on horses. Their combat strength was not even as good as the infantry. In addition, the spearmen had a certain restraining effect on the cavalrymen. Under the command of a super commander like Lu Bu, they were slowly being nibbled away by the spearmen's attacks and the continuous rain of arrows.
When he saw his brothers who had fought alongside him for many years being killed one by one, he felt as if a knife had been twisted in his heart. He knelt on the ground with a thud, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Lu Bu and roared,""Milord, these brothers of mine were originally good citizens, but because of the circumstances of the world, they had no choice but to become bandits. I beg Milord to have mercy on them. Deng Kang is willing to work like a cow or a horse, I only beg Milord to spare these brothers of mine!”
Deng Kang's voice was very rough. Now that it was a moment of life and death, he had almost used all his strength to shout. The entire battlefield could hear him, especially the tragic emotion in his voice. Even the soldiers of Furious Bears Village could not help but feel pity for him, and their movements slowed down.
Waving his hand, Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to take down the weapons and horses of the Horse Gang. He then rode his horse to Deng Kang, and the surrounding Horse Gang and Flying Bears Village soldiers all made way for him.
Staring coldly at Deng Kang, Deng Kang knew that he was going to die today, so he threw caution to the wind and looked fearlessly at Lu Bu.
He didn't know in this world, but in Lu Bu's entire life, there weren't many people who could look him in the eye. Just based on this point, this boorish man in front of him was worthy of his respect. He nodded and said,""Just now, you said that you were forced by the world and had no choice but to fall into the grass. But looking at the dense killing intent on your body, you must have killed many people, right?”
Deng Kang nodded his head in acknowledgment.
"Then how many of these people are innocent?”
Deng Kang's heart trembled when he heard this, and he looked at Lu Bu with an unnatural expression. He gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly,""In this line of work, it would be a lie if you said that your subordinates have never killed anyone before. They are all…"
"These words are already magnanimous enough. There's no need to say anymore.”Lu Bu waved his hand. Actually, he was just testing Deng Kang. Lu Bu did not think of himself as Liu Bei, nor did he want to learn from Liu Da 'er. In this chaotic world where people ate people, if one wanted to survive, one had to be stronger and more ruthless than others. A smile appeared in his eyes as he looked at Deng Kang and said,"Are you willing to follow me?"
Deng Kang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and knelt down before Lu Bu. His voice trembled as he said,""Subordinate Deng Kang greets the lord!"
" System Notification: Congratulations to player Lu Fengxian for subduing third-rate general Deng Kang. You have received 100 reputation points.”
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Lu Fengxian for successfully defeating the Horse Gang and completing the system's random mission. Completion rate is 100%. The system has rewarded you with a special building blueprint-a prison!”
