“Only five people can kill my dozens of my men?!” Chen Lan looked at Liu Mang and his men already exhausted. Chen Lan only brought 200 elite of his unit when descending, he left his majority unit because at the mountain peak, his unit already scattered and slaughtered by Lu Bu main force.

From five people, the only one who is still able to stand only Liu Mang. Liu Mang can stand because his gold cloth also served as his impenetrable defense, but his own bodyguard do not have armor like him, so they fall one by one. Xu Cheng also cannot stand anymore, his lung already stabbed by spear and mortally wounded.

“Oh, little Xu Cheng, little Xu Cheng, why are you so stupid?!” Liu Mang half knelt though his feet is already above the ground, no, it should be said that he is stepping on a corpse because all over the place, there are corpse everywhere and Liu Mang now holding upper half of Xu Chengʼs body, because his lower half already buried underneath other corpses.

That immature face now really pale and start to cold. That lance is meant for Liu Mang but Xu Cheng blocked it, if he did not do that, the one who is laying on the ground is Liu Mang

“Is it worth it?!” Liu Mang touched Xu Chengʼs hair gently so he can see his face. People in ancient China used to have long hairs, men and women.

TL: Please watch Chinese drama series for more information about long hair in ancient China

“It is worth it! As long as general can continue living, what Xu Cheng done now is worth it!” Said Xu Cheng while struggling, trying to grip Liu Mangʼs arm.

“It is unworthy actually, unworthy! Xu Cheng, I tell you this! Your general cannot give you anything at all! The slogan “Together, we live or die; together, we share riches and honor”. That is a nonsense, that is only a slogan, a motto, you know!” Liu Mang suddenly become insane.

“No, it is not just a slogan! General, you know that! When you said that words, you have taken our hearts with you, you consider us as brothers, all of us are willing to serve you wholly!” Said Xu Cheng while coughing blood due to his lung wound. He cannot live no longer.

“After that, you made Lieutenant General sing for us, you read a poem for us. We are all peasant farmer children, General! An outcast, a slave! When we listen to the song, we know that we will follow this general, this noble person to the death! And then you made us sing, how happy we are! Ha-ha-ha, that times is the happiest time of my life as Xu Cheng!” Liu Mang really do not know the impact of teaching everybody to sing has on these soldiers of his.

“Cough!!” Xu Cheng coughed blood again.

“Little Xu Cheng, do not talk anymore, your wound is worsened!” Liu Mang is denying himself. He tried to press Xu Chengʼs chest, trying to stop his blood from flowing but to no avail.

“No, General, I know that I cannot live anymore, so please let me talk. That wine and that meat, that night meal is the most delicious thing that I, Xu Cheng, have eaten in my whole life! General, you know that this is the time of chaos, war everywhere! Human life is worthless, a joke, an expendable thing. I, Xu Cheng, do not afraid to admit that I become a soldier in order to eat, just try to survive daily like animal! It is you general, who made me feel what I have lost as a human, you gave me back my dignity! Dignity to live as a human!.. Puff!!!” Xu Cheng vomited blood along with his damaged lungs debris.

“Xu Cheng, I order you to shut up, SILENCE!” He did not know about ancient times training for commander. Their training is not to share joy and sorrow but to lead and thatʼs it! But Liu Mangʼs training is from present times training regiment, so he did what he can, a training from the future with his own common sense. But what he did not know that when someone fighting for power in ancient times, soldiers are only an expendable commodity

Xu Cheng just smiled at Liu Mang. Military law demands that one to comply orders but Xu Cheng right now did not want to obey and continue saying “General, I am very tired now, I want to sleep!”

“You cannot sleep, Xu Cheng, I order you not to sleep!” Liu Mang knows extremely well, if Xu Cheng fall asleep in his wounded state, he will die.

“General, please sing a song to me! Sing our armyʼs anthem!”

“Yes, I will sing our army anthem to you, I WILL SING NOW, so donʼt you dare to sleep, you got me?!” Xu Cheng heard every word but every second, his blood gushes out of his chest.

“Let’s share the plate for breast! The king’s raised forces to the line. Let’s make our lances shine. Your foe is mine. Are you not battle-drest?

Let’s share the coat and vest! The king’s raised forces to the line. The king’s raised forces to the line. Your job is mine. Are you not battle-drest?

Let’s share the kilt and the rest! The king’s raised forces to the line. Let’s make our armor shine, And march, your hand in mine. Are you not battle-drest?

Country dispatched their troops to war, we repair the weapons, I and you are facing the common foe.”

TL: I am using Scar and Tchuʼs translation from Chapter 45, sorry brothers.

Xu Cheng really happy hearing this familiar song and said to Liu Mang in a very soft voice “General! Forgive me! Xu Cheng cannot...comply...your....or-....der!”

“Xu Cheng...XU CHENG!!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” The teenager who died in Liu Mangʼs bosom. His name is Xu Cheng. That innocent face, that shy teenager closed his eyes forever with a smile on his face, free of any regret.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA! Chen Lan, come on kill me, kill me, you bastard!” Exclaimed Liu Mang who become mad, releasing Xu Chengʼs head and start cursing toward Chen Lan army.

“Come on! You do not want this Liu Mangʼs head??? Liu Mang is here!!! Come, you fucker. END ME!!!!” Liu Mang really become a mad dog. Startling all Chen Lan army.

“Why all of you froze? Kill him! Kill him now!” Yelled Chen Lan angrily

Chen Lan Army do not want to move, because they fear Liu Mang!

“Do you want to disobey military order?!” Asked Chen Lan.

“Great King, he is--?!” Nearby Chen Lan army soldier is trying to ask their great king but he not yet said complete sentence suddenly “POOF!” His artery has been severed by Chen Lan. “Great King, why???” That soldier is disbelieve.

Chen Lan wiped blood on his face “If you do not kill him, I will kill you all! Is not he is just a person? Why you all fear him? If you kill him now, you are third king, you will become Chen Lanʼs brothers!”

“Yes, he is still a man not a demon, kill him, kill him will grant us third king!” As people always said, greed can overcome fear. Chen Lan army began to charge again.

“Forward, kill him!”

“Ha-ha-ha!” Liu Mang laughed watching those Chen Lanʼs army soldiers who want to kill him. He instead throw down his sword, giving up resistance. Both Chen Lan army and Lu Bu army are struggling in a spiral of cruel fate in this chaos times. If this were peace and prosperity time, can they still be like this? Quarreling with swords? Fuck that, now only death is the way out, might as well die and give them riches and honor.

Liu Mang closed his eye. Little Xu Cheng, your general will accompany you to afterlife, along with your 99 brothers. When Liu Mang gave up his resistance, he heard his army anthem.

“Let’s share the plate for breast! The king’s raised forces to the line. Let’s make our lances shine. Your foe is mine. Are you not battle-drest?

Let’s share the coat and vest! The king’s raised forces to the line. The king’s raised forces to the line. Your job is mine. Are you not battle-drest?

Let’s share the kilt and the rest! The king’s raised forces to the line. Let’s make our armor shine, And march, your hand in mine. Are you not battle-drest?

Country dispatched their troops to war, we repair the weapons, I and you are facing the common foe.”

“Who dare to hurt my general, Cheng Yu has come!” Suddenly reinforcement has come to take down those Chen Lan armies remnant.

“Together, we live or die; together, we share riches and honor! SHAAA SHAAA SHAAAAA!” This is the voice of Urban Army.

“We are not waste, we are not cowards, Kill them all, scrub them all!” This the voice of supply troops.

In an instant, Chen Lan army who originally have only one enemy: Liu Mang, was caught off guard by reinforcement and began to die one by one, leaving Chen Lan hapless

“So Iʼm not dead yet?!” Liu Mang is not happy because he just survive, but instead his killing intention just risen to the max. Xu Cheng died, his own personal bodyguard has been annihilated, all 100 of them. All of these because that goddamn Chen Lan, that now struggling Chen Lan.

“Chen Lan, I must kill you today!” Liu Mang started to charge at Chen Lan with max killing intent. Never before Liu Mang want to kill a person this badly. Not Chen Deng, not Xiahou De can make him this mad, only this asshole did.
