CHAPTER 1771: CHAPTER 1772: ALL OR NOTHING

"Grumble~~"

At this moment, your stomach let out an untimely noise. Only then did you suddenly remember that you hadn’t eaten for a day.

When your stomach growled, you felt a lack of energy, as if even moving a finger was difficult.

Yesterday was due to being too tense, and today you didn’t even know when to eat.

Sitting up, you asked the person next to you, "When do we eat?"

"Eat? Lunch is already over, didn’t you know?" The person looked at you without feeling the need to flatter you despite your higher status. After all, everyone in this mixed soldier camp had their heads on the chopping block.

You patted your forehead. Clearly, the angle of the sun was already slightly tilted, and time was estimated to be around one or two o’clock in the afternoon.

However, you couldn’t possibly let yourself go hungry, so you stepped out of the tent, stopped someone, and asked, "Where’s the dining place?"

"Get lost, can’t you see I’m busy?" The person said impatiently, reaching out to shove you aside.

You suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the person by the collar, and lifted them up entirely. It looked as if you were lifting a three-year-old child. Your face turned extremely fierce, and you angrily shouted, "Where’s the dining place!"

Seeing your demeanor, the person was terrified and pointed to a direction with trembling hands.

"Thanks."

You casually tossed the man to the ground and quickly walked forward. You asked three people before finally finding the kitchen crew, where the army cook was located.

When you arrived, you found they were already cleaning up tableware, and the leftovers were already dealt with. Without asking anyone, you walked directly to the army cook’s tent.

Lifting the tent flap, you paused for a moment, seeing a dozen people gathered around a low table inside, with fragrant meat and dishes placed atop. Without saying much, you sat at an empty spot amidst their astonished gazes, grabbed a roast chicken in front of you, and immediately started devouring it! The surrounding dozen people were stunned watching your ravenous eating style.

None of them knew you, but seeing your swagger, they initially thought you were some big shot and remained silent.

What astonished them was your incredible appetite, devouring fist-sized buns in one bite, finishing off the roast chicken in a few bites. Even as you ate, you munched the meat along with the bones, your teeth seemed as though cast from steel, crunching the chicken bones with "crack crack" sounds.

The army cooks were not fond of fighting; having seen the harsh world, they understood the truth that it’s best not to provoke wicked people these days.

Watching you nearly finish all their food, a middle-aged man coughed lightly, smiled, and addressed you, "Dear warrior, you..."

"Bang!"

You tossed your waist card on the table. The middle-aged man picked up the card, his expression turned odd.

Due to fighting on home soil and the strong position of the Yuan Family of Yan Province, the military was quite generous with food and never encountered hunger. Yet from your eating style, it seemed you were famished for months, sweeping everything in a single bite—it was simply an overwhelming sight.

"Burp!"

You let out a satiated belch, patted your now-full belly, and showed a satisfied smile.

"Not bad, I’m seventy percent full."

Truth be told, you didn’t expect to eat this much yourself. Considering that the amount you ate, including all the meat and dishes, was at least twenty times your usual amount! Once the food was in your belly, the previous sense of weakness quickly vanished, replaced by abundant strength, stirring inside like an urge to unleash.

As soon as you finished eating, the war drum sounded again.

Exiting the tent, you stretched lazily, gazing at the busy people around and the looming fateful atmosphere, you also adopted a stern look.

No matter what, war leads to death, and a slight mistake could mean being killed by the enemy. Regardless, you warned yourself that you must not die here!

Watching the smoke and dust ahead, you squinted and jogged over.

Though a mixed soldier, a bearded man still tossed you a spear with a red tassel, and compared to last time, this one is evidently better. At least in your hands, it felt more comfortable, without the feathery, plastic-like feeling.

This time, you stood at the forefront of the troop, took several deep breaths, settled your swirling emotions, and facing the crowd ahead, gradually sank your body, holding the spear before you.

The war drum sounded again!

Charge!

"Kill——"

Smoke and dust rise, battle cries resound!

With a red tassel spear in hand, you maintained a steady running pace, neither too fast nor too slow, charging at the frontline.

Initially, unable to discern the shape of the enemy due to distance, but when only a hundred or two meters separated you from the enemy, your eyes widened. Charging towards you head-on was not infantry but a squad of Sword and Shield Soldiers!

"Gan!"

You cursed directly, realizing retreating was too late, you gritted your teeth and charged!

Close!

One hundred meters!

Fifty meters!

By now, the enemy revealed their bright long knives in uniformity; even their running steps were nearly synchronized, emitting a terrifying air that struck the heart.

"Fight it out!"

Seeing one of them wield a knife toward you, you thrust your long spear forward! That Sword and Shield soldier was tall and looked strong, thinking he could easily dispatch the young boy before him. Seeing his head slashed by the spear tip, he swung his knife at your hands. Suddenly, your hands holding the spear shook, and the initially straight spear shaft forcibly vibrated, "bang!" The shaft fiercely struck the Sword and Shield soldier’s forehead!

That soldier immediately lost consciousness, and without waiting to see his fate, you wielded the spear against the next enemy.

Only in close combat did you realize the spear was insufficient for simple thrusts to eliminate foes, so you used it like a staff, combined with your mysterious Divine Power, sweeping across, smashing armor, sending shields flying!

"Get out of my way!"

With your spear swirling like wind, no one could approach, and what’s more, you seemed to have limitless energy. Many only circled around you, while others turned to harass the infantry.

"Move aside, let me Sun Guan face him!"

Before long, an armored military general rode in on a tall horse, swinging a long knife down at you!
