Kingdom : History is rewritten

Qin northern borders, few months ago

I grinned as I cut through the enemies with my new Glaive. I had chosen peak mastery over Glaive as my main weapon as system gift. But without using the moves on a real opponent, I won't achieve true mastery. I knew soon I would have to face Lu Bu when Zhao invades. Now finally receiving the full potential of my physique, I can be called truly strong.

Spear can't unleash my full strength now as I reached my physical limits and broke through the Advanced level. With this Glaive, I can unleash my strength and the Xiongnu were the unfortunate victims in front of me. After battling with them for months, I have gotten the hang of it. Now I can be ready for whats about to come. The real war is only beginning after all.

Kyou PoV

This was a nightmare. Of all the things that could happen, this was beyond my wildest imaginations. Ouki sama getting defeated , and the opponent wasn't even going all out. Not to mention the tragedy at our HQ where Lu Bu cut through a lot of our soldiers. They are still counting but its already beyond 20,000. Out of the possible remaining 65,000 there are some injured badly and can't battle for days. We only managed to take out about 10,000 Zhao troops .

The odds were now shifting towards Zhao and if we don't do something soon, it might be too late. I sighed and called for my lieutenant Reki. I then instructed her to immediately go where Kouryu is and ask for his urgent aid. Knowing him, he could very well have started to make his way here. As soon as she left I made my way towards Ouki samas tent to check up on him.

Tou was sitting inside beside his bed. Upon seeing me he smiled and bowed then left the tent. I sat down and started to wipe out the blood from his glaive. The doctors have already cleaned and wrapped the wounds but his face looked so pale. Suddenly he opened his eyes and looked at me, his face turned into a tired smile as he asked," How long was I out Kyou?"

I grabbed his hand with a smile and replied, " Only an hour or so. How are you feeling Ouki sama?"

He sighed and said, " Of all my military career, I've never been bested so utterly in a duel. The funny thing is, he even showed pity while he could have taken my head. I guess my thoughts were wrong after all. He isn't a vain main like he's said to be. I can understand how he killed our old comrade Oukotsu."

I grabbed his hand tightly and spoke, " But we can win this battle. We can beat him. As long you recover and my little brother arrives with his army, we can turn this battle around."

Ouki sama scrunched his eyebrows as he asked, " And how many troops do you think he's bringing? Even if we defeat all his army, who can beat him ? I know about the strength our young KouRyu possesses, and while it has weight and his spearmanship is superb , his marital strength can't match Lu Bu's from the last spar we had."

I just smiled and replied," I have faith in him. He will definitely come up with something. He has at least 50,000 troops, along with his famous followers Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun. Together, they might even take Lu Bu down. I have seen their might personally and they have been getting stronger with each battle. "

Ouki sama looked up and spoke a laugh, " Koko ko, so, the time for our era has ended it seems. Those young generals would show their might in this war and as the new generation will replace us. And they in turn shall be replaced by the next generation."

I didn't reply and just sat with a smile.

KouRyu army, hiding near the southern forest

This was not good. Not only OuKi lost, our troops were also decimated. From the reports, it seems they have only 60,000 left while Zhao still has 80,000 troops. I just got the message from Kyou to rush to their aid as soon as possible. Judging by the outcome today,they will probably attack tonight and Houken would try to kill her and Ouki while they were vulnerable.

But the problem is, if Riboku attacks after I arrive, we are all screwed. So I can only make my move after Riboku sends out Houken and hope that he would think I will be there. I can take out Houken I guess but that will not do. I'm the only man who knows how most things will play out, and I can readjust my plans by adding the variants. I don't want to go in blind. I gave out the order to march at a gentle pace so that it doesn't make noise.

I have sent Zhang Liao to go further north and protect the detached army of 5,000 to siege the castle and as soon as they pass the border, strike the left flank of enemy. Zhao Yun is also on another task to take over a nearby hill and provide support. KaRin will be the only one with me as she will be facing Li Ru, the strategist that lies hidden under shadow of Lu Bu.

Most of the strategists consider this man as a vicious tiger, silently waiting and going for the killing blow suddenly out of nowhere. They would match up nicely. But the most important thing is, for me and Zhao Yun to hold off Lu Bu until Zhang Liao joins us. Zhang Liao is already at the threshold of Supreme general of Heavens beginner level, while Zhao Yun has already broke through the Beginner rank and well on his way to reach the next level in a year or two.

Whereas I, after my forceful advancement have already reached the Advanced level and explored beyond. Lu Bu is already at the top of Advanced level and soon will breakthrough to the peak. The difference in strength is astoundingly vast when you reach the top. Like how OuKi lost to Lu Bu easily despite them both being on similar levels almost.

With me finally reaching 20 years age, my body has now the full strength of Captain America and with my skills, I can go toe to toe with Lu Bu and defend myself. But Lu Bu has this unique strength, when he goes berserk, I wouldn't want to face him with my current strength. Nevertheless, I shall go save her, after all, she considers me family.

General Kyou Camp

After Kyou arrived from the Ouki camp and went over the reports, she ordered everyone to be alert for any raids. Now that the Qin army moral was at an all time low, they could only wait for tomorrow to do something. But sadly, Zhao would not wait and would attack them that night to deal the killing blow.

KaRin PoV

My special troops which I have developed with my own hands for situations like this will finally show their grand performance. KouRyu has tasked me with guarding his back, and I'll be damned if I let a single one make their way towards him. This should be like another usual night raid and enemy would have 10,000 at best. That should not take a long time.

Unless Riboku decides to stay till daylight breaks, that's when the real fun will begin. My cute elephants haven't tasted battle for a while now, they will let me steal the show completely. I seem to have got distracted as we have arrived at the camp in the meantime, and looks like my lord was right again as the sound of battle was heard from ahead. We rushed behind him as my camouflaged army vanished into the darkness.

KouRyu PoV

I hurriedly made my way towards the commander's tent. Looks like we are just in time to save them. Any sooner we could have been ambushed ourselves. It seems they have 8,000- 10,000 troops and they are quite strong. My main worry is Lu Bu might be there also. I can't beat both Lu Bu and Houken together. Not when Zhao Yun or Zhang Liao isn't with me. Diao Chan maybe able to stop Houken for a bit, but That won't be long enough for me to take care of Lu Bu.

Well, it's too late for worries anyway, as I rushed headfirst into the fray startling the Zhao army. I headed for Kyou's tent as I could hear some shouts coming from there. I spurred Bucephalus to jump as I sighted Houken rushing towards Kyou who lost her horse and stood facing him.

Both of them were shocked and stopped their attack as I jumped over some soldiers riding on Becephalus and sending seven instant thrusts towards Houken which sent him flying back. I looked at Kyou who had a relieved smile and smiled in return saying," It looks like I always find you in some kind of trouble, my dear elder sister."
