We were the ones who were almost sweeping the surroundings even before Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyeon joined the soldiers.

It would have been like that originally, but what would have happened since the number of troops that could be deployed had doubled, and even Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yeon, who were at least Grade A, had joined the military as generals.

Among the guys with yellow bandanas on their heads, I wouldn’t know if guys like Jang-gak, Jang-ryang, and Jang-bo, all of whom have names, would jump out and block our path. An army led by idiots whose names are unfamiliar to us would not be able to block our path. I couldn’t.

“Who is this person who would receive Yang Jungnyeong’s spear!”

“Kyahahaha, I hope this guy has some taste!”

“Quukㅡ! This bitch is talking cowardly-!”

I shook my head inwardly as I looked at the guy who was already starting to feel dizzy after exchanging a few sums, wondering whether he was Ang Jungnyeong or Yang Yang.

Judging by the spinning tail, it seemed like a new spear would soon be added to Xiahou Dun’s collection of enemy equipment.

Could it be that he couldn’t ignore the difficulties of his general, who was starting to be pushed back in that way?

“This self-indulgent bitch! This old man taught you what fear is!”

It is a national rule not to intervene carelessly when armed forces are engaged in a short-term skirmish, but as befits the baseless bastards, a man who appeared to be a general from the enemy side ran out with his sword raised high.

Of course, we couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

Tung!

A sound like something being lightly flicked rang out, and then an arrow shot out between the eyes of the guy who was running out on horseback. And then he fell off the horse.

It was the work of Ha Hoo-yeon, the cold-haired silver-haired beauty who stood guard next to Jo Jo.

“Ohㅡ”

Even though the distance from here to there is quite long, he cuts the opponent’s breath right away by piercing right between the eyes.

It must have been a moment when, without even realizing it, I was letting out an exclamation of admiration for his archery skills, which could be described as truly ghost-like.

“···Heung.”

Such a sound came out from the mouth of Ha Hoo-yeon, who was lowering a bow that was almost as big as her body. But he didn’t stop there and turned his head to the side.

It’s as if he’s saying that he doesn’t need your praise.

Thanks to this, I suppressed a bitter smile as I looked at the silver hair that was fluttering softly.

It seems like he still has in his mind what happened in Cao Cao’s barracks a few days ago… and it’s a bit difficult to say anything about it.

No, you say it’s still difficult for you to trust me, but wouldn’t it be impossible to tell someone to trust me instead of doing that?

All you have to do is to think that time is everything and prove it with your actions.

Ha Hoo-yeon seemed to disapprove of me in that way, but regardless of that fact, our compatibility was quite good. I wasn’t talking about anything else, I was talking about compatibility on the battlefield.

To be honest, this was inevitable because for me, who enjoys infiltrating the ranks of the soldiers and cutting off the heads of the enemy’s mid-level commanders, Ha Hoo-yeon’s ghost-like bow skills were the perfect material to use as bait. As was the case just before, once Ha Hoo-yeon showed off her archery skills, all of the enemies that were thought to be of a higher level were preoccupied with it, and their vigilance in close combat became relatively negligent.

“Then, I’ll come back.”

“Be careful, don’t get hurt. If you come back hurt, I won’t leave you alone.”

“Well, even though I’m scared, I have to be careful.”

He jumped off the platform prepared for smoother command and infiltrated the soldiers. And then, as usual, I went around stabbing those with particularly loud voices, and another battle came to an end.

“Kyahaha! Su-hyun! You must have been watching closely from behind, right? The moment when this body blows off the enemy’s head!”

As Xiahou Dun spoke, there was a bloody spear in his hand. It looks like he’s planning on adding it to his collection this time too.

I gave a light snort to Xiahou Dun, who spoke like that while waving the spear he had captured from the enemy commander as if he was bragging to me. It looks like he was trying to get recognition that he was superior by putting his major first, but he had no intention of acknowledging it easily.

“I started a campaign by cutting down one sloppy guy… but even so, I had more commander-level positions, right?”

“What?!”

“I think you and Wonyang are both amazing! So, that kind of strange competition…

“Bullshit! Since ancient times, if you are a general, you have to deal with enemy generals!”

“Is the battle over once you capture the enemy commander? What about enemy soldiers?”

“The soldiers disperse on their own after dealing with the general!”

“I think that sounds more like nonsense.”

“ㅡStop.”

Jo-in, who couldn’t stand it, grabbed our forearms, and Jo-jo called the two of us into the barracks, looking like kittens caught by their backs. The sorting out of the current army must have been roughly completed, because the advance was really just around the corner.

” As planned, we will receive one last supply of military supplies here at this point and enter the march.”

“Hmm, are there some useful people in the Jin army?”

“And if you happen to enter the Jin army and encounter the King of Jin, be careful of your actions, as he is one of the few influential Yu clans in this era.”

Jojo, who had said that far, took a moment to catch his breath. Then, he looked straight at Xiahou Dun, who was on his left, and spoke.

“Especially you, Wonyang.”

“? Me?”

“Then who else here would be called Wonyang besides you?”

“Keuung… I understand. I’ll be careful.”

King Jin.

What kind of person is this?

That curiosity was resolved sooner than expected.

This was because the King of Jin, who succeeded in defeating the Yellow Turbans who were threatening the Jin army thanks to our help, which had received one last supply of military provisions before leaving the army and was in perfect condition, invited us to Jinwangbu, which could be said to be his palace.

Thanks to this, I had to take off my armor and dress up in formal clothes for the first time in a long time.

It must have been the moment when I entered Jinwangbu after dressing properly for the first time in a while.

The thing that welcomed us like that was-

“It’s nice to meet you! This body is none other than Jinwang Yuchong!”

It was a boy with pigtails who seemed to be about ten years old, with a bunch of people who looked like his subjects clinging to him behind him.

No, that’s the part. Even so, what is that… strange way of speaking?

I was told that he was one of the few influential royal family members in this era, so I only thought about his majestic appearance. I didn’t expect that a kid with such an unusual way of speaking would come out. Just as I was flinching and shaking without realizing it, Cao Cao responded.

“It is an honor to meet you. Your Majesty King Jin. It is called Little Man Jojo.”

“Hmm! It’s a name I’ve never heard of before! The name of the person who was recently enshrined in prayer by the imperial family was Cao Cao!”

“Yes, God is the same Cao Cao.”

After taking a moment to introduce himself, the little boy, or rather King Jin, expressed his gratitude to Jojo.

“Thank you for helping our Jinwangbu! As a way of rewarding and appreciating, if you need anything, just say anything!”

“Then, can I get some military supplies to subdue the Yellow Turban Reds?”

“There is plenty of military provisions, so just say the word! Instead, I ask you to save Yeongcheon!”

“You said Yeongcheon…?”

It was a pretty familiar name.

That’s because Yeongcheon was our final destination.

However, the name Yeongcheon came out of the mouth of that little royal family member. Could it be that some kind of trouble occurred there while we were clearing out the yellow turban bandits that had crept into the first army one by one and advancing towards the Jin army?

As if I wasn’t the only one who thought that at the moment, a question similar to what I thought came out of Jojo’s mouth.

“Is there any trouble in Yeongcheon…?”

“Mmm! In fact, the army of Zhu Zhonglang, who was stationed in Yeongcheon, was defeated by a Yellow Turban enemy named Pajae!”

“Are you saying that the Imperial Army was defeated by the Yellow Turban Red Army?”

“This is what I heard from the remnants of the defeated soldiers who ran away from Yeongcheon, so it’s for sure! Don’t doubt it!”

“When I say doubt, I’m not saying I doubt Your Majesty’s words. However, it was such unexpected news.”

Yes, just like Jojo said, this was an unexpected variable.

That’s because our original plan was to join forces with the government forces blocking the northern part of Yeongcheon to prevent the Yellow Turbans from creeping towards Luoyang, and cut off the heads of Zhang Liang and Zhang Bo, who were said to be hiding nearby.

However, before they could join forces, one side was destroyed…

“The safety of Luoyang is in jeopardy due to the defeat of Zhou Zhonglang’s army! Fortunately, the army of Hwangbo Jungrangjang, who was stationed nearby, moved quickly and succeeded in driving them into the castle! However, the number of troops is small compared to the enemy, so you never know when the siege will be breached!”

“The key is to get there before the siege collapses.”

“That’s right! We will provide military provisions and supplies, so Jojo of the prayer committee is to go to Yeongcheon immediately and help the army of General Hwangbo Jungrang!”

“Okay.”

After receiving a lot of supplies and supplies, they must have been leaving Jinwangbu and heading to Yeongcheon.

“Hmmmm…”

Such a sound suddenly came out of the mouth of Xiahou Dun, who was riding next to him.

“Why? Is there anything that bothers you?”

“No, that… King Jin. Are all royal family members like that?”

“Suddenly, what nonsense is that?”

“What, didn’t you see it?”

“So what.”

“Jinwang’s ears were pointed.”

ok? It was pointed? homecoming?

“Is that so…?”

“I guess I really didn’t see it…”

” Won-yang, you didn’t see it wrong because it looked like that for a moment because it was covered by hair or something? ”

“It can’t be like that… No, is that something like that?”

“Yes, you probably saw it wrong. Common sense tells us that there is no way people have pointed ears.”

Not even an elf.
