Chapter 952: Chapter 952: Zhao Wu’s Tender Laughter (For the Maid’s New Book, Five Updates)

"What kind of people are those, and why is their combat strength so terrifying?" At this moment, a middle-aged man standing beneath the Tang Dynasty’s commander-in-chief’s flag pointed in the direction of your troop and asked.

Clad in armor, with a commanding presence, Li Zhengfeng had already seen you. He couldn’t help but laugh and said, "General Li, that’s Marshal Luo’s Second Young Master, the leader of the Infantry Seventh Team."

"Oh? So it’s the Luo Family’s Second Tyrant. Good, he truly lives up to being Commander Luo’s son, a chip off the old block." The middle-aged man stroked his long beard, a glint of admiration shining in his eyes, "However, we should still have someone look after him a bit more. After all, the battlefield is full of uncertainties, especially during chaotic combat."

"Yes."

As the battle dragged on, the feeling of exhaustion on you grew stronger, and you could no longer remember how many people you had killed; you only knew that you seemed to be on the verge of collapse. The sensation was as if your hands would be unable to lift in the next second, and you even had the urge to just sit down and not move, letting the enemy’s blades come down on you!

Aside from the Seventh Team, the faces of the soldiers around you changed constantly. The battle was a real, hard fight. Although the intentions of the commanders on either side were not clear, the number of combatants continued to decrease.

The Seventh Team’s numbers had not diminished, but the wounds on its members grew more numerous. Shi Kai’s right hand had become powerless due to overuse and hung limply by his side, unable to be used. Shi Kai truly was a tough man; seemingly unaware of fear or death, when his right hand became immobile, he just switched to using his left hand. Although it wasn’t as flexible as the right, at least he could occasionally stab the enemy with it.

Zhao Wu was also extremely worn, looking very tired. But this guy had been by your side, protected by you, so he hadn’t suffered much injury - only a scratch on his left leg from a stray arrow, not too deep, and it had already stopped bleeding.

War indeed was not as simple as you had imagined. You had believed that with your unconventional strength you could dominate the chaos, heroic and invincible like the novels described, weaving in and out of a million-strong army, sending the enemies tumbling.

But in reality, you wanted to spit to death those damned novelists; they’re TM misleading!

You now had a deep understanding of this – think about it, how much strength does it take to stab a person to death, let alone do so while also resisting an attack? Killing one person in a chaotic battle is simple, but what about ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people?

Although you didn’t know how many you had killed, you had a rough idea that the most you had killed by your own hand could not be more than a few hundred, and that too, with the cooperation of a team. You were no longer able to use Bagua Palm; that martial art was simply too draining on physical and spiritual energy.

At this moment, what you most wished for was a weapon of your own, like Sun Wukong’s Sea-calming Divine Needle, a divine artifact capable of taking down a hundred men in a single blow.

Just as you felt your strength waning, a strange sound suddenly blew from the Qin Army’s rear, and then, to everyone’s joy, the enemy quickly retreated like a receding tide.

"This..." At this time, not just you, but everyone around you were dumbfounded.

"Did we win?"

"Did we win?"

"We’ve won!!!"

Amidst the cheers of the entire Tang Army, you lay on the blood-soaked ground, powerlessly looking up at the hazy sky overhead. In this moment, your pursuit of power seemed more urgent than ever. But soon, a wave of exhaustion came over you, and your eyes rolled back as you fainted.

"Captain!"

"Second Young Master!"

Shi Kai and Zhao Wu saw you faint and cried out in a hurry.

You did not know how long you had been asleep, but when you woke up, you found yourself in a tent at the camp. Just then, Zhao Wu came in from outside with a bowl of medicinal soup. Seeing you awake, a smile spread across Zhao Wu’s face, "Captain, you’re finally awake."

"Zhao Wu, how long have I been asleep?" Although you had passed out due to exhaustion, upon waking up, you found your body full of vibrant spiritual energy.

"You’ve been unconscious for two days. General Li came to see you while you were out. He specifically asked me to brew this medicinal soup for you."

"Oh, I see. But I think I’ll pass on the soup; I feel as good as I possibly could right now."

You got out of bed directly, even swinging your fists to test your strength. However, Zhao Wu insisted you drink the medicine. Left with no choice by his persistence, you wrinkled your nose and downed the medicine.

"Wow, that’s bitter!" You hated taking medication, especially Chinese herbal medicine. You had never consumed it from childhood, and so you were particularly sensitive to its taste.

Zhao Wu, watching your childlike expression, could not help but purse his lips and laugh, a gesture that made you shiver with an inexplicable chill.

This guy wouldn’t have taken a liking to his young master, would he?

You quickly tossed away that thought and lightly patted Zhao Wu on the shoulder, saying, "Alright, you can rest now, I’m going to take a walk."

"Yes, Captain."

Stepping out of the tent, you found all the team members gathered together, chatting with one another. Seeing you exit, Shi Kai and the others stood up in a hurry and, without a word, knelt before you.

"What are you doing?" You were quite surprised.

"Captain, if not for you, we’d have been dead by now. We pride ourselves on our strength, but once on the battlefield, we realized our so-called abilities were laughable. We were destined to die, but it was you who gave us a new lease on life. From today onward, you are our lord, and we are your most loyal servants!"

"Cut the crap!"

You strode forward and kicked Shi Kai, sending him tumbling through the air and rolling several times before landing on the ground.

Angrily pointing at the people before you, you shouted, "Get the hell up, all of you. What I need are not servants; servants I have plenty of! What I lack are brothers willing to fight alongside me, to spill their youth and blood for the Tang Dynasty! You, you, you, and you, you are all my brothers in life and death. If it weren’t for your support today, I too would have ended up as one of the countless lost souls on the battlefield. So, you don’t need to thank me for anything. You must know that you were born in the Tang Dynasty, it is the Tang that gave you life, and you must defend it with your blood, protect our country and people! Do you understand!?"

"We understand!!!"
