“Sha!” Lu Bu took the lead. Although he no longer have the Sky Piercer, his explosive prowess isn’t hindered in a bit. These Cao soldiers cannot even withstand a single bouts. Even officers die upon encountering him.
Song Xian and Wei Xu was lucky. They did not encounter Lu Bu.
On the way down the White Gate Tower, Lu Bu slaughtered no less than a hundred people and gathered around him three hundred soldiers. Under his command, they were like an unstoppable spear.
“Where are we headed to now?!” Liu Mang currently held a bloodied long sword. Within the chaos, no one could protect him. Thus, he must defend himself. On his armor appeared multiple white stains from the countless slashes and stabs of blades and swords. Had he not had the Gold Cloth, he would've been dead multiple times by now.
Enroute, Liu Mang also killed a couple people. Actual living people! Not animals, but people! When blood was splashed onto his face, Liu Mang even tasted the saltiness and metallic taste.
“Province Governor's Mansion in the inner city!” Lu Bu’s eyes was bloodshot from all the killing. Had Liu Mang’s armor not been extra shiny, he might’ve mistakenly killed him.
“Inner city?!” Liu Mang was thinking about how to get the hell out and not getting into the inner city, a place where they would likely be surrounded and killed.
Liu Mang wanted to say something but was stopped by the squad leader alongside him. The squad leader was called Cheng Yu. He said “All the madames are in the inner city!”
“Madames?” Liu Mang finally remembered. How did he forgot that Lu Bu was a family man. To have him leave his family behind, you must kill him first.
A family man as a companion of a deceptive one…
If I followed him into the inner city, these three hundred soldiers might all die!
On the other hand, if I went my own separate way then chances are I’ll be dead too. Either way I’m dead. Can’t there be a fucking survival path?!
“Sha! Sha!” Sounds of killing on the outside of the city steadily increased. With tens of thousands of people battling, their noises certainly won’t be small.
“General, the gate has been broken!” A bloodied Lu Bu army soldier covered in wounds shouted toward Lu Bu in a weeping manner.
“Gate has been broken?!” Lu Bu eyes shocked open and gave off a murderous aura strong enough to cause suffocation. “Which gate?! West Gate?! South Gate?! Or the North Gate?!”
“East Gate, sire!” The injured soldier said weepingly.
East Gate! Wasn’t this the gate that I just came from?! White Gate Tower was located in the east gate! Didn’t I encourage them to open the gates?!
“Song Xian and Wei Xu! Oh how I wish to eat your flesh!” Lu Bu’s eyes were glaring with anger. Although he knew that it was because of Liu Mang’s suggestions that they went to open the gates. However, knowing is different from it actually happening.
[TL: No, he’s not saying he want to be cannibal. Just a phrase saying he’s super angry and wants to kill them.]
A gate has been broken, leaving behind only three gates. It is impossible for the Cao army to not take action. Once the three other gates was to be broken, they would surrounded and certainly die.
Now there was a very serious problem - whether or not to go toward the inner city.
If they don’t go, then Lu Bu’s wives and children will be left to Cao Cao. In that case, god of war Lu’s head will be verdant green. On the other hand, if they do go, all these three hundred people will likely not survive. Chances are, they will be surrounded by the Cao army and be unable to save his wives and children.
