Chapter: Chapter 122: The War God's LoopholeThe stench of fresh blood and raw meat hung thick in the cold air of Xiaopei. Several days had passed since Imperial Uncle Liu Bei and his white-haired advisor marched their main forces out of Xuzhou toward the southern border.In the courtyard of the Bingzhou military barracks, the scene unfolding truly shattered the pride of any knight. The Wolf Cavalry, the deadliest horse-riding unit to ever carve a bloody history across the lands of China, now looked like nothing more than a bunch of beggars holding swords.The grain rations, ruthlessly choked off by Jo Fan before he left, had shown their lethal effect. Empty stomachs turned sanity into desperation. Today, those northern barbarian warriors were forced to commit the most taboo act for a cavalry force. They were slaughtering their own warhorses."Cut the meat into smaller pieces. We have to make this broth last for the whole company." Wei Xu shouted. The lieutenant's

Chapter: Chapter 121: Three Taboos for Zhang YideThe dawn air in Xuzhou felt biting on the skin. A thin mist still hovered over the brick-paved streets, but the city's south gate courtyard was already flooded with a sea of armored men. The sound of warhorses neighing and metal clashing created a busy harmony signaling one absolute truth. War was calling once again.Amidst the hustle of tens of thousands of marching soldiers, Liu Bei stood facing Lady Mi. The Imperial Uncle was fully dressed in his golden command armor. In front of him, his intelligent wife did not cry like typical noblewomen. Instead, Lady Mi handed him a bamboo scroll containing logistics records."I have secured the grain supply route to the south through the Mi family's merchant connections, my husband," Lady Mi said in a calm, rational voice. Her sharp eyes looked at Liu Bei. "But you must remember, our treasury is still recovering. Finish your business with Yuan Shu as quickly as possible. This city needs you."

Chapter: Chapter 120: The Emperor's Decree and the Guard Tiger of the HouseThe cool autumn wind swept across the courtyard of Xuzhou's military barracks. The atmosphere in this city felt incredibly peaceful. It was a peace that felt absolutely absurd considering this place was a sea of blood and corpses just a few weeks ago.At the edge of the training ground, Jo Fan sat leaning back in his dragon-carved wooden wheelchair. His legs were covered with a thick blanket. His lower motor nerves had not fully recovered yet due to the system penalty from printing the steel armor.The white-haired young man reached into an oiled paper bag with his right hand. He pulled out a piece of spicy cassava chip and popped it into his mouth.Crunch.The crispy sound echoed loudly. Jo Fan chewed slowly. His tongue was indeed still numb from the previous system penalty, but the sensation of chewing something crunchy gave a little bit of peace to his constantly overthinking brain.<

Chapter: Chapter 119: A Flower Garden for Diao Chan and the War God's TearsLu Bu's heavy footsteps echoed against the stone walls of the Xiaopei residence hallway. His iron boots slammed into the floor with a rhythm full of suppressed rage. He had just barked orders at Zhang Liao to prepare the army. He had just pressed the tip of his sword against Chen Gong's neck. The War God's blood was still boiling, burning every inch of muscle in his gigantic body.However, when he stopped right in front of the carved wooden door to his wife's bedroom, Lu Bu closed his eyes. The giant took a breath as deep as the ocean.He clenched his fists tightly, then slowly released them. The thick killing intent and the demonic aura that could make enemies wet their pants were instantly suppressed and buried deep within his soul. Lu Bu did not want to bring the scent of blood and the aura of death into this sacred room.With movements that starkly contrasted his brutality on the battlefield, his large, calloused han

Chapter: Chapter 118: The Wrath of the War GodThe oil lamp flickered softly inside the main bedroom of the Xiaopei residence. The night felt incredibly silent. Lu Bu sat on the edge of the wooden bed covered in thick silk. His massive hands, scarred from countless battles, gently stroked the forehead of the sleeping Diao Chan.The face of the most beautiful woman in China looked terribly pale. Cold sweat clung to her temples. This early pregnancy, only a few weeks along, had completely drained Diao Chan's physical strength. She had spent the entire day lying down, enduring the endless nausea tormenting her stomach.Lu Bu took a deep breath. The God of War stared at his wife's still-flat stomach with a highly complex look. There was pure tenderness there. There was hope for an heir. But at the same time, there was a suffocating frustration that gripped his throat every time he looked at the moldy stone walls of this room."You are carrying my flesh and blood, Chan'er

Chapter: Chapter 117: The Tragedy of a Loyal Advisor and the Plundered WarhorsesThe autumn night wind blew across Xiaopei city, carrying a piercing chill that sank straight to the bone. Inside a dimly lit study, the light from a single oil lamp flickered weakly. It looked as if it were sharing the despair of the man sitting there.Chen Gong poured wine into his cup with slightly trembling hands. A few drops of the clear liquid spilled, wetting the wooden table cluttered with strategy parchment scrolls.The man in the cheap silk robe downed his wine in one gulp. The burning sensation in his throat could not overpower the stinging pain from the scratch on his neck. The wound had just been wrapped in a thin bandage. If Lady Diao Chan's zither playing had been delayed by even a single second this afternoon, Lu Bu's spear tip would have certainly severed his head from his body."That fetus might only be a few weeks old, but its power to control the God of War far surpasses my years of devotion." Chen Gon
