Chapter 18

Near the armory,

Liu Bei's thousand local volunteers had upgraded their gear, with each person wearing at least decent leather armor.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were even wearing black-light armor!

Hua Mulan and Bai Yuekui were wearing cowhide armor; their skin was fair, their legs were long, and their figures were excellent, making them very eye-catching.

Liu Bei nodded; they finally looked like something.

"Pack up, we will leave the city immediately to engage Cheng Yuanzhi!"

Bai Yuekui asked,

"How many men did Liu Yu send to assist us?"

Liu Bei waved his hand.

"Just our thousand men, no reinforcements."

Bai Yuekui:??

"One thousand against fifty thousand? You aren't mistaken, are you?"

Hua Mulan interjected,

"Although those Huang Jin rebels are indeed a ragtag bunch, we seem to have only been formed for half a month..."

Zhang Fei, however, laughed heartily.

"Big Brother, I didn't expect you to be so straightforward! Refreshing! So what if there are fifty thousand? It just means I, Old Zhang, will have to swing my serpent spear a few more times!"

Guan Yu's eyes were also filled with battle intent, his hand already gripping the handle of his Green Dragon Crescent Blade!

Liu Bei nodded.

"Liu Yu originally wanted to send Zou Jing with two thousand men to accompany us, but I refused. A mere fifty thousand is plenty for us!"

Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan could barely hold it together. He's still bragging at a time like this? Men really aren't reliable!

Liu Bei looked around.

"Good, the morale is usable. Assemble the troops immediately and march out of the city!"
