Chapter 130

He knew that these were the things Duan Yu wanted him to see.

Only by working hard!

Only by becoming stronger!

Only by clenching one's fists in this man-eating era and bravely swinging them at those enemies could one live better.

Tie Shitou gripped the straight saber in his hand tightly, the veins on his forehead bulging.

"Kill!"

A roar erupted, as if bursting forth from a body that had been suppressed for over a decade.

It symbolized a youth's roar against a life of suffering, like a youth's outlook on ambition.

Beside him, Wang Hunu was just like Tie Shitou.

Standing side by side with the brother he grew up with in the same village, he raised his shield and faced the desperate, fierce bandits.

Duan Yu stood behind Tie Shitou and the others.

Watching Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who had raised their shields and were brandishing their straight sabers, a knowing smile appeared on his face.

Not everyone has the courage to stand on a battlefield.

War, after all, involves death.

Today was a test for Tie Shitou and the others.

There were indeed many famous generals and fierce warriors in the Three Kingdoms.

But not everyone could be used by him.

The brothers and fellow villagers he cultivated from a young age were the foundation for his future standing.

This world did not lack gifted battlefield warriors.

Such as Lu Bu, such as Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and these people...

But most were ordinary people, growing step by step from ordinary people.

The fierce generals recorded in history books were not the entirety of this era.

It was just that more people might have died before they could grow up.

Or perhaps they never had the chance to grow at all.

Looking at Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and the others, whose hands were still trembling slightly as they gripped their sabers at first, he was not disappointed.

Facing life-and-death combat, timidity and panic were human nature.

But whether one could face and overcome them was the key to whether one could grow in the future.

Duan Yu was very pleased; these village youths he had selected were all quite good.

And after the training by Gao Shun, the results were significant.

In their first battle, facing fierce bandits, the twenty-two of them formed a solid battle formation.

And following the instructions Gao Shun gave during training, they used their shields to withstand the bandits' first wave of impact.

Clearly, the chaotic, disorganized first wave of the bandits did not pose any threat to Tie Shitou and the others.

Instead, after withstanding the first wave, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu took the lead with a loud shout.

Then they pushed back with all their might using their shields.

And then they raised the straight sabers in their hands to hack and slash.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

When the first saber fell, and the first drop of blood sprayed onto them, the primitive beastliness within the human body was ignited.

After tasting the sensation of warm blood, the sabers in the hands of Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and the others became steadier.

Duan Yu stood behind, holding an arrow, watching the battlefield.

His gaze was like that of a jungle predator.

Like an adult tiger watching a growing cub carry out its first hunt.

He was letting Tie Shitou and the others exercise.

But at the same time, he had to act as their protector until they grew up.

On the mountain.

Jia Xu and the others, who were initially shocked by Duan Yu, were shocked once again when they saw Tie Shitou and the others step onto the battlefield and fight the bandits.

Everyone knew where the youths led by Duan Yu came from.

But how did these people look like rustic village peasants now?

This was clearly a regular army.

Even more regular than a regular army.

How did Duan Yu train these rustic peasants?

To actually train a group of rustic peasants into an army?

"He..."

"How on earth did he manage to do this?"

Jia Xu was also bewildered at this moment.

It was not strange for one person to have strong personal ability.

Because there were always geniuses.

It was not strange for a person to have strong personal ability, martial prowess, and also be meticulous and possess strategic planning.

After all, there were always geniuses who were talented in both civil and military affairs.

But...

It was one thing to combine martial prowess and strategy in one person.

Why were the people he brought out also so strong?

Jia Xu did not deny that there were always geniuses in the world who could suppress a century.

But when such a figure appeared before him, there was still a sense of unreality.

It didn't feel real.

Could it be...

That under his witness, a figure destined to roam through history and leave a name for posterity was being born?

Down the mountain.

Li Shanfeng watched his subordinates who had all charged out; he lowered his body, draped a robe over himself, and also charged out of the house.

But after just one glance at the battlefield, he turned and ran towards the back of the mountain. ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
