CHAPTER 1764: CHAPTER 1765: RUN SLOW, LOSE YOUR LIFE (PART 4)

Wang Xi’s spirit suddenly shook, starkly contrasting with his previous despondency. He abruptly turned to you and said, "Mu Yun, remember this, you must stick with me, don’t run off by yourself! Try not to take action!"

Wang Xi intended to say more, but the troops had begun to move, and simultaneously, cries of killing rose like shocking waves, deafening.

At that moment, you suddenly felt like you had lost all hearing, hearing only the sound of your own breath and heartbeat!

The expressions of people around you vividly came to mind; they, too, transformed from their initial fear to becoming crazy. People began to walk quickly, then run!

You knew that, at this time, you could only follow Wang Xi.

So this is war.

"War is not child’s play?"

This sentence suddenly echoed in your mind, and you suddenly realized that the so-called war in the Map of Kingdom you experienced earlier was nothing but a game!

Being amidst a sea of people, you have come to understand just how insignificant and humble you really are.

Finally, the two crowds in the forefront collided!

Indeed, their people and weapons collided together. The roughly made weapons stabbed into each other’s bodies at the same time, they both fell to the ground and were then trampled and crushed by those behind.

You were somewhat flustered; although you were holding a spear with a red tassel over three meters long, you had absolutely no idea how to use it since people surrounded you and you couldn’t tell who was the enemy and who was an ally.

"Mu Yun!" Just as you were dazed, Wang Xi suddenly pulled you, and a long spear brushed past your shoulder.

There was not even a moment to catch your breath; you were instinctively running alongside Wang Xi among the chaotic crowd.

It was somewhat comforting that Wang Xi seemed familiar with the battlefield; he consistently led you through gaps, and he also advised you to discard the spear with the red tassel and pick up a broken knife and a broken wooden shield from a corpse.

It was your first time scrambling through a crowded battlefield, knowing nothing, ignoring everything, just following Wang Xi, even when your back was slashed twice, you wouldn’t spare a moment to identify the perpetrator, instinctively following Wang Xi. You realized that to survive now, you must follow Wang Xi!

Indeed, this was the most authentic ancient war!

As the two of you ran, the number of bodies on the battlefield increased; many bodies intertwined, while others were still fighting desperately atop these corpses.

This is the true struggle of flesh and blood!

Without protective gear, most people were either being cut or stabbed—often, a person was cut with a dozen strikes, then the victor would have their heart pierced by someone else!

You did not vomit because you simply didn’t have time!

If you vomited, you might get stabbed in the back or have your head chopped off, so to live, you could only keep your head down and your body bent, finding gaps in the crowd where the Military Governor’s troops couldn’t see you.

At that moment, your sole thought was survival, regardless of anything, you couldn’t die here!

Suddenly Wang Xi fell amongst the corpses, and as he fell, he dragged you down too. When you fell, two corpses happened to land on you.

"Don’t move." As you struggled to get up, Wang Xi suddenly whispered hurriedly.

You immediately understood, although doing this was disgraceful, you continued to endure the pain of being trampled, lying amidst the corpses, pretending to be dead.

Disgrace?

At that moment, you didn’t think so at all. As long as you could survive, you’d do anything!

Despite being trampled in many places, you still lay amidst the corpses, motionless. Your eyes were tightly shut, but your ears were constantly listening for any calls around you.

Time dragged on like this.

In the battlefield, very few pay attention to those already on the ground; even if they knew some were pretending dead, they wouldn’t bother unless they posed a threat.

Meanwhile, you noticed some others around you were pretending dead too, some even among the enemies. As they fought, they suddenly fell, rolling to corners to hide.

What kind of war is this?

Everything you saw greatly conflicted with your previous understanding.

Should war not entail weapons clashing, and facing death bravely?

However, as thought rushed through your mind, the previously immobile Wang Xi abruptly grabbed your arm and whispered to you, "Get up quickly!"

Following Wang Xi’s words, you suddenly realized that all around, those pretending to be dead were rapidly rising, drowning away in waves like water.

You closely followed Wang Xi, having thousands of questions inside, knowing that the most crucial thing is to leave the battlefield alive.

Soon, huge and continuous rumblings came from the positions of both enemies and allies. As you were running, you abruptly saw, a thousand meters ahead, thousands of horses galloping!

This was your first time witnessing an organized cavalry charge, though standing with Wang Xi at the battlefield’s edge, a thousand meters from the cavalry, your heart was already swept into the battlefield.

Every man dreams of heroism, and you are no exception. Arriving in this unfamiliar environment, after such a life-and-death experience, you suddenly gained clarity. Your gaze wasn’t on the fiercest battling frontline but the General adorned in mighty armor, followed by a hundred stalwart cavalry guards!

In the fierce fight ahead, the General was on horseback on the hill, overlooking below, making the crucial adjustments at key moments.

Though you couldn’t see the General’s face, his impression was deeply engraved in your mind.

Soon, the sound of a copper gong echoed from behind, mixed yet loud. Upon hearing this, the infantry like you who were still watching from the battlefield’s border dashed towards the base camp as fast as they could.

"Mu Yun, run faster, or you’ll lose your life!" Wang Xi said this to you and then sprinted fiercely; his speed was commendable even to a hundred-meter champion!

You wanted to run faster, but your back was injured, and your stamina seemed depleted. After all, you just arrived here, and your body seemed unadapted.

Adaptation?

You suddenly realized, you’re not a soul traveler, but your body came along to this era. Because you knew clearly, your right hand’s ring finger had a blue birthmark, and this body has it too!

This meant your own abilities were sealed by the Empress, and your body was your own, once dead, everything would be over.

Such a ruthless Empress!
