kong.jpg
So. You sold er.. bedsheets?
shi.jpg
Something like that.
kong.jpg
Hm. I'm sure we can find a suitable post for you. *puts away a scroll and pulls another from his desk* Erm...Omega? Omega 21?
omega.jpg
Here, sir.
kong.jpg
A fine scholar. You wish to be a civil servant, yes?
omega.jpg
Yes, sir! I aspire to be one ever since I graduated!
kong.jpg
Yes. I'm sure you'll rise through the ranks quickly. You two-

Suddenly a tall young man burst into the room, his right arm seemingly stretched out, before making a light hop to lightly touch the lighting affixed on the ceiling. As he lands, his red cape makes a dramatic swoosh in the room before he kneels down. If he's trying to be dramatic, it is purely unintentional.

alvin.jpg
My lord, Alkeides is ready and eager to serve the nation!
guard.jpg
Stop! This man is a trespasser!
omega.jpg
Walau weh.
shi.jpg
(An assassin?)
kong.jpg
Everyone calm down. Please.
alvin.jpg
My lord! I've tried to convince the guards of my intent to serve, but he would not let me in! I only forced my way through because I know what I'm doing is right!
kong.jpg
Alkeides was it? You seem...young? Have you finished your studies yet?
alvin.jpg
Tomes and classes can barely teach the art of warfare and valor. I've lifted much and carried many burdens. I've studied the ways of the steppes warrior and the disciplines of monastery orders. My body is ready. My mind willing. My blade is yours.
kong.jpg
I- I see...three..uh..
shi.jpg
...
kong.jpg
-most eager officials. Very well. Let us begin then...

As you all know, the Yellow Turbans are running amok in the countryside. If nothing is done, the country will plunge deeper into turmoil. Every official under the service of Lord He Jin will work towards the destruction of the rebels. Meanwhile, here are the specific needs of our city...
12.jpg

shi.jpg
Commerce?
kong.jpg
Yes, bedseller. To wage war, we need coin. Time to get to work, everyone.
13.jpg

14.jpg

shi.jpg
(No different from my previous office then...)
15.jpg

shi.jpg
If I work on the tavern, I'll get more work experience and build better rapport with other officers who work with me...
16.jpg

shi.jpg
My knowledge of Commerce enabled me to deploy additional workers for better results. Now let's see if anyone can assist me...
17.jpg

shi.jpg
Hey, hero. Want to help me out?
18.jpg

alvin.jpg
I'm Alvin.
shi.jpg
I'm Steve. Let's get to work.

02 - Customer feedback
01.jpg

02.jpg

shi.jpg
Hey, working on the same thing?
omega.jpg
Ya lor. Is like that one lah. Starting positions are always the same everywhere.
shi.jpg
You play RPG?
omega.jpg
Not really. My latest game was Metal Gear Solid V. Quite okay lah. Open world shooter.
shi.jpg
Ever played Skyrim?
alvin.jpg
Apologies. But we may have a problem...
03.jpg

shi.jpg
Gotta go, see you later Omega.
04.jpg

05.jpg

alvin.jpg
Not one more word or my fist will meet your face!
merchant.jpg
Eh boy, don't like that lah! That guy hor, he try to sell lower than my store and badmouth me! How can like that?! I want justice okay?!
shi.jpg
No, Alvin. You can't don't beat up merchants. Uncle, come let's talk about it.
06.jpg

07.jpg

shi.jpg
(First day on the job and already got customer complain. Cibai.)
08.jpg

shi.jpg
(Calm down. Use human touch.)
09.jpg

shi.jpg
(Keeping quiet too? No way I'm letting you off.)
10.jpg

shi.jpg
UNCLE! REMEMBER WHAT WE HIRED YOU ALL FOR!
11.jpg

merchant.jpg
W-wha!? No need to shout lah!
12.jpg

13.jpg

merchant.jpg
Eh, you ginna don't play punk, okay! I am older, so you must respect me!
14.jpg

shi.jpg
(Tsk.. I'll trigger you, old man.)
15.jpg

16.jpg

17.jpg

shi.jpg
SO WHAT?! AGE DOES NOT EQUATE WISDOM! GET OVER YOURSELF! THIS IS BIGGER THAN YOU THAN ME!
18.jpg

merchant.jpg
Ha? W-what does equate mean ah?
shi.jpg
IT MEANS EQUAL. NOW IF YOU'RE DONE WASTING TIME, LET'S GET BACK TO WORK!
19.jpg

20.jpg

shi.jpg
Listen, everyone is competitive. And it's not their fault. It's the Yellow Turbans' fault, making people buy up things and hoard it. The longer you spend time arguing instead of out-thinking your competitor, the more time he has to beat you in profits.
merchant.jpg
I- okay lah. Uncle will follow what you say.
22.jpg

shi.jpg
Mmmm. Were you seriously gonna beat him up?
alvin.jpg
Why not? He's in the wrong, I'm in the right. At most I give him a gift voucher after that to smooth over any misunderstandings.
shi.jpg
... Let's get on with the rest of the work.
23.jpg

Overachieving can give you small rewards. And at rare times even a minor treasure.

03 - The impatient privileged

A season passes for the trio...
01.jpg

shi.jpg
(Mmmm, I should be first.)
02.jpg

shi.jpg
(??!!)
03.jpg

omega.jpg
Wah, three of us newbies got top honors! Good lah!
shi.jpg
I suppose.
alvin.jpg
I am honored.
kong.jpg
Work hard you three, I see a bright future ahead for three of you.

Eventually...

04.jpg

shi.jpg
My thanks.
05.jpg

shi.jpg
Uh..what can I do with this privilege?
kong.jpg
Well, bedseller. Normally, as a low ranking officer you have restrictions on certain matters such as warfare and diplomatic relations, but your recent promotion gives you ONE privilege to bypass that restriction.
06.jpg

kong.jpg
You may propose a treaty...or even..start an attack. I don't see why you want to though, we are clearly not ready.
07.jpg

shi.jpg
Then I wish to exercise my privilege immediately.
kong.jpg
! Wh-what would it be?
shi.jpg
Green light an attack on the nearest Yellow Turban stronghold.
08.jpg

kong.jpg
Why are you rushing towards death? This is-
shi.jpg
We can't afford to waste time, the Yellow Turbans will recruit more and more men. Do you want that?
kong.jpg
Alright, suppose I agree. Who do I send?
shi.jpg
Alvin, me and Omega.
09.jpg

10.jpg

shi.jpg
Alvin will take point on Cavalry. I and Omega will support him from the rear with archers.
kong.jpg
Just 13,000 soldiers won't be enough to take out the 23,000 strong defenders!
shi.jpg
I am not finished. Send a letter to Luo Yang. I want their best to lead a second attack force from there. I'm mobilizing the troops, please affix your seal on this proposal. Don't delay and make us die needless deaths.
11.jpg

kong.jpg
The audacity of youth.

Luo Yang

guard.jpg
Sir. A letter from Shang Dang!
cao.jpg
Mmmmm? An order to attack Ye? From a junior officer? Ahahahahhah! Outstanding! We march! Yuan Shao! Comrades! The Yellow Turbans will perish today!
12.jpg

13.jpg

omega.jpg
Uh... I didn't sign up for this. You crazy lah, Steve.
alvin.jpg
Why the hesitation? We will be heroes by the battle's end!
shi.jpg
And we'll take all the credit for the victory.

The Shangdang Three's march meets the Yellow Turban's first defensive line shortly a week after...

14.jpg

15.jpg

shi.jpg
You're in charge. Alk. I'll follow!
16.jpg

alvin.jpg
Steve! With me! Like the wind! Omega! Protect the camp!
17.jpg

shi.jpg
(Cibai. He's faster than me!)
18.jpg

shi.jpg
Additional Turban forces has entered the battle. It's 20,000 to our 13,700 now!
alvin.jpg
Ignore it for now and focus on demolishing this outpost!
19.jpg

20.jpg

alvin.jpg
Oooooh! The enemy is here! You are too late! Your camp is destroyed! My friends! Springtime of youth is here!
shi.jpg
Archers, fire.
21.jpg

shi.jpg
Alk, where are you going?!
22.jpg

alvin.jpg
Fiend! You will not destroy our camp that easily!
shi.jpg
(Fuck. He's charging spearmen formation with cavalry?!)
omega.jpg
Omega is here!
23.jpg

shi.jpg
(Okay, we have a chance now.)
24.jpg

alvin.jpg
Everyone, with me! Destroy my target!
shi.jpg
(Their 5,000 archers are getting free hits on us... Don't like that.)
25.jpg

shi.jpg
Flame arrows! Release!
26.jpg

27.jpg

omega.jpg
The fire's spreading out of control!
28.jpg

shi.jpg
Cibai.
29.jpg

alvin.jpg
That got the archers off our backs! Let's finish this!

The Yellow Turban command unit was routed and the tables are turned.

30.jpg

31.jpg

32.jpg

cuiyan.jpg
They're just goddamn kids! Ugh!
shi.jpg
Last one! Release the flame arrows!
33.jpg

34.jpg

alvin.jpg
Uuuuwahhhhhh! Victory! Well deserved glory to the victors!
35.jpg

shi.jpg
(Tsk.)
omega.jpg
Man, that was power lah!
36.jpg

shi.jpg
(Don't be so humble, you're not that great.)
37.jpg

shi.jpg
(I'll burn him next time.)

04 - Fall from heaven

02.jpg

shi.jpg
(Tsk. Getting tired of this.)

184 AD - 26 June
Shang Dang Three's force marches on towards another battle. This time against the leader of the Yellow Turban himself.

03.jpg

alvin.jpg
It's Zhang Jiao!
omega.jpg
Wah, we need to be careful, our reinforcements are not here yet!
shi.jpg
This is a chance to sever the head!
04.jpg


The Shang Dang Three's Army is outnumbered 2 to 1.

zhangjiao.jpg
Misguided youths! Prepare to face Heaven's wrath!
alvin.jpg
I'll guard the camp. You two attack their camp!
05.jpg

06.jpg

shi.jpg
Enemy within sight! Burn!
07.jpg

omega.jpg
Keep firing!
08.jpg

09.jpg

10.jpg

zhangjiao.jpg
Zhang Jiao is here!
shi.jpg
My flame arrows are here.
11.jpg

12.jpg

13.jpg

alvin.jpg
Reinforcements are here!
14.jpg

shi.jpg
Yes! To victory! Alvin! Set up the siege ladders!
15.jpg

zhangjiao.jpg
Imp-impossible! We're outnumbered?!
16.jpg

17.jpg

cao.jpg
Take his head and end this quickly!
18.jpg

cao.jpg
Scale the walls! Destroy the gates!
19.jpg

20.jpg

cao.jpg
Victory! Honor and glory to the winners!
22.jpg

shi.jpg
Why thanks, it's onl-
21.jpg

shi.jpg
(Fuck.)
23.jpg

24.jpg

shi.jpg
Meh. Zhang Jiao escaped.
alvin.jpg
We still scored a big victory today. That fiend will have to wait another day.
cao.jpg
We will return to our cities now. Well done, all of you.

05 - Second wave
01.jpg

omega.jpg
Walau, we just got back leh!
shi.jpg
Looks like Command HQ wants to push the advantage.
02.jpg

shi.jpg
Where's Alkeides? I don't see him?
omega.jpg
They said he's transferred over to Luo Yang duo to his outstanding performance.
shi.jpg
Hmph.
guard.jpg
Your forces are ready, Sir!
shi.jpg
Let's go.
guard.jpg
The commander-in-chief is Omega 21.
shi.jpg
Bah.
omega.jpg
Ok, go lah.
03.jpg

04.jpg

05.jpg

06.jpg

shi.jpg
At last, no sign of Alkeides! Let's claim some credit for this one! Attack the camp!
07.jpg

08.jpg

shi.jpg
Camp is destroyed! I want the siege ladder up and be the first to be on top!
guard.jpg
YEAAAAH!
09.jpg

omega.jpg
Oi, careful lah. Later we stuck inside, how?
10.jpg

shi.jpg
We're only the second wave of reinforcements! There's nothing to fear! More will come!
11.jpg


The Loyalist and Yellow Turbans rapidly traded losses as more of their troops poured into Pu Yang.

12.jpg

13.jpg

alvin.jpg
Alkeides of Luo Yang is here!!
shi.jpg
Re-double our efforts! We will not lose!
14.jpg

15.jpg

alvin.jpg
Shi Difen! Long time no see!
shi.jpg
Kill first, talk later!
16.jpg

17.jpg

omega.jpg
God, this is a bloodbath...
18.jpg


The battle nears its end as the second gate bursts open from the continued onslaught.

19.jpg

20.jpg


The Yellow Turbans were finally routed to the last man.

21.jpg

22.jpg

shi.jpg
Pffft! Not good enough!
23.jpg

cao.jpg
Everyone! Stand by for further orders from Luo Yang!
alvin.jpg
Long live the Han!

06 - Burning Rivalry
01.jpg

omega.jpg
A second assault?!
shi.jpg
We're taking advantage of the simultaneous attacks from other coalition members. Don't worry.
02.jpg

03.jpg

04.jpg

shi.jpg
Don't fall behind! Onward!
05.jpg


Outnumbered, the Yellow Turbans mount a pathetic defense before retreating.

07.jpg


The siege of Jibei did not even provoke an attack from the already exhausted defenders.

09.jpg

10.jpg

11.jpg

12.jpg

shi.jpg
Command's relentless. This is good. Keep pushing!
13.jpg

omega.jpg
Wah, can we help?
cao.jpg
No, we have our orders. Continue marching north.
14.jpg

cao.jpg
This is a naval battle! Prepare yourselves! Link ships!
shi.jpg
Like hell! Troops! FULL SPEED AHEAD!
15.jpg

16.jpg

shi.jpg
Yang Feng! Act as my shield as I open fire from range!
17.jpg

shi.jpg
ALKEIDES! MEN! BREAK OFF AND RE-ENGAGE! RAMMING SPEED!
18.jpg

cao.jpg
Look at those two go!
shi.jpg
Abandon a few ships and set them ablaze before ramming it against the enemy!
20.jpg

21.jpg

cao.jpg
Yes! Burn brightly for Han! Death to the Yellow Turbans!
22.jpg

23.jpg

24.jpg

cao.jpg
*Chuckles* If you say so, bedseller. Men, ready yourselves for your next assignments!

07 - The Hero of Chaos
02.jpg

omega.jpg
Think they'll order us out again?
shi.jpg
No reason not to. Chen Liu appears to be secured.
03.jpg

04.jpg

omega.jpg
Sucks, man.
05.jpg


The scattered forces of the Yellow Turbans were too weak to mount any tangible defense.

06.jpg


The offensive was suddenly called off mid-march, but the end of Yellow Turbans is near.

07.jpg

08.jpg

omega.jpg
Wah, this is good news lah! Peace will come back soon to the lands. You're even reassigned to Luo Yang liao, just like Alkeides.
shi.jpg
Our last chance for glory.
omega.jpg
What you writing lah?
shi.jpg
I'm calling upon my promotion privileges to direct a final assault on the rest of their stronghold.
09.jpg

omega.jpg
Wah, good luck man. I hope I'm not on the list.
10.jpg

cao.jpg
A sweeping offensive to finish off the Yellow Turbans?
shi.jpg
They're on their last legs. To delay is to waste all the blood spilled for the past few seasons.
cao.jpg
So be it. Zhang Yue will lead the three city strike force. I'll see you on the battlefield.
11.jpg


The two forces clash midway. 50,000 Loyalists against 38,000 Yellow Turbans.

zhangyue.jpg
Do not falter! Onward for Han!
12.jpg

shi.jpg
They've taken out one of our camps as well!
13.jpg

14.jpg

shi.jpg
Shit, I'm isolated and another one of our camp is about to burned to the ground.
15.jpg


More Yellow Turbans poured into the battlefield.

16.jpg

shi.jpg
They're going for our main encampment! Someone stop them!
17.jpg

18.jpg

shi.jpg
Fuck, we're too divided! Our forces are fighting too many battles at once!

The situation looks grim for the Loyalists as the attack on the enemy's main encampment was aborted.

19.jpg

cao.jpg
Fall back and regroup!
guard.jpg
Milord! Look out!
20.jpg

cao.jpg
Eh?
cheng.jpg
Die, dog of Han!
22.jpg

shi.jpg
Cao Cao!
23.jpg

cao.jpg
Close...but tis not my time yet!
24.jpg

cheng.jpg
Is that all you can do?! Die like a dog!
26.jpg

30.jpg

31.jpg

cheng.jpg
T-two consecutive knockout attacks-
32.jpg

33.jpg

cao.jpg
Men of Han! Turn the tide and slash for glory!
34.jpg


The loyalists lost 20,000 men that day, but theirs is a better fate than the Yellow Turbans who lost over 45,000 troops.

35.jpg

cao.jpg
Good to see most of your forces are still intact, bedseller.
shi.jpg
I lost to you this time, Cao Mengde. I've no complaints.

01.jpg

02.jpg

shi.jpg
Two down...one to go.

Loyalist forces continue to take heavy losses as they conquer city after city.

14.jpg


The original task force is now down to 15,000 men from their original 50,000.

15.jpg


But the Yellow Turbans are backed to the ropes as Sun Jian pushes further from the east.

16.jpg

17.jpg

19.jpg

21.jpg

22.jpg

shi.jpg
Headcount complete. Around 13,000 left...
huang.jpg
Regroup. Let's take Qiao!
24.jpg

25.jpg

shi.jpg
The numbers are even. That's bad news for us the attackers.
26.jpg

27.jpg

28.jpg

29.jpg

shi.jpg
We're losing too many units!

Take heart! There's still me and you! On to the gates, Difen!

Aaaahahahh! Is that all you got?

Ugh...is this the end?

Don't give up yet!
mancheng.jpg
Tch! Retreat boy! Or I'll kill you next time!
41.jpg

huang.jpg
Men of Han never retrea- Aaaaah!
42.jpg

mancheng.jpg
Just you and me now. It's not too late to retreat.
shi.jpg
I'll say it again: you can't beat me in strategy.
46.jpg

44.jpg

mancheng.jpg
A point blank fire attack!?
47.jpg

48.jpg

shi.jpg
Xun You? I'm alive? I..I beat Alkeides?
guard.jpg
The rest of the army are routed...we're the only ones left. Your orders, Commander?
shi.jpg
Let's...go home.

09 - Lasting Peace

Months after the defeat at Qiao, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans followed suit.

01.jpg

02.jpg

03.jpg

04.jpg

hejin.jpg
But the lands are still unstable with uprisings and riots! All of you warlords will be appointed a land to oversee where you will stop the unrest and bring peace!

The rest of the court realizes what this means. All except He Jin.

07.jpg

shi.jpg
Fool.
omega.jpg
Wah, I know you're upset cause you didn't get listed in the territorial assignment but-
shi.jpg
That's not what I meant. He's a fool and we'll all suffer for his stupidity. You'll see.
08.jpg

09.jpg

omega.jpg
Not staying for the victory banquet?
shi.jpg
No, I have someone to see.

15.jpg

Huff...huff...I'll get you next time.
16.jpg

omega.jpg
It looks like we're all assigned to different places from now on. I hope we stay in touch.
shi.jpg
Mmmm. Korean BBQ?
alvin.jpg
I'm always here when you need me.

The three part, oblivious to what is about occur at the Imperial Court.

shi.jpg
No. I don't sell beds. I sold bed sheets.
liru.jpg
What's the difference?
shi.jpg
Never mind. I'll go improve the commerce.
15.jpg

shi.jpg
Hey.
omega.jpg
It's nice to see you again after that chaos in capital.
shi.jpg
Mmm. No thanks to He Jin.
omega.jpg
That man met a nasty end. I hope things will quiet down for a while.
shi.jpg
Keep wishing.
omega.jpg
Ha?
shi.jpg
I'm off. Catch you later for K-BBQ, maybe.

The two went off to do their tasks, unaware of the gathering storm outside the capital.

12 - Revulsion
Chang An, the new capital of Han.

01.jpg

shi.jpg
(At last I've made it. I should see the rest of the gang. Find out how they're holding up.)
02.jpg

03.jpg

omega.jpg
Tell me about it. Those orders in Luo Yang shocked the whole court. Wang Yun was livid.
alvin.jpg
What Crown Prince Dong did was wrong. No question.
shi.jpg
We're powerless to stop him for now. Don't do anything rash, Alk.
alvin.jpg
I won't. Lu Bu is always by his side.
guard.jpg
A letter from the Court!
04.jpg

05.jpg

shi.jpg
Fuck him.
alvin.jpg
I thought you said not to do anything rash?
omega.jpg
Aiyoyoh.
shi.jpg
We can't stay like this for long. *I* can't. We can leave. Serve a new master.
alvin.jpg
Who?
omega.jpg
I've heard rumors from the battle for Hu Lao Gate. There was a mighty army that dared challenge Dong Zhuo, Lord Yuan Shao is the leader of the coalition, I'm sure he's more than capable.
shi.jpg
I disagree. The Coalition he lead wasn't started by him. And after the victory at Hu Lao Gate, it was disbanded due to petty rivalry and distrust.
alvin.jpg
What about Liu Bei and his two sworn brothers? They fought Lu Bu to a standstill!
shi.jpg
An individual strength doesn't translate to actual strategic strength. In the end, they were sidelined due to poor connections and influence.
alvin.jpg
What about Sun Jian? I hear he found the Imperial Seal before leaving Luo Yang. That could be the ticket to establishing a power base down south.
shi.jpg
Too far. Hmm. I have to go. Take care, guys. I'm off.
guard.jpg
Shi Difen! An order from the governor of Chang An!
06.jpg

07.jpg

shi.jpg
Sorry lah, I'm busy helping people who actually need help.
08.jpg

09.jpg

10.jpg

shi.jpg
I'll try my best. But don't count on me fighting off an entire gang on my own...

Elsewhere...

11.jpg


His refusal brought Liu Biao's wrath, and Sun Jian was only able to escape death by the heroic deeds of his followers.

13 - A Humanitarian is Invincible
01.jpg

shi.jpg
Tsk, fine. Tell your master, I'll do it after this.
guard.jpg
Lord Dong Min expect the good news soon.
02.jpg

shi.jpg
Well. That's that. I can't always be around for you. See you.
03.jpg

shi.jpg
Mmm. I almost forgot about getting paid. *opens pouch* Ah, that's quite a bit of money. Let's burn these coins...
04.jpg

shi.jpg
I'll drop over at Omega's house after I'm done with this assignment.
05.jpg

shi.jpg
Now to report the good news.
06.jpg

dongmin.jpg
See, Difen? You are intelligent! I knew you're the best man from the job. Here. A little extra motivation for next time!
08.jpg

shi.jpg
Meh. I'll keep it.
09.jpg

shi.jpg
Omega. I'm getting second thoughts of leaving this place.
omega.jpg
Oh, why the change of heart?
shi.jpg
I'm thinking, why prolong this war? Crown Prince Dong holds all the winning cards: The Emperor, Lu Bu and a sizeable territory.
omega.jpg
That's one way to put it. I feel bad about serving such a terrible person, but what can I do? Whatever happens, we'll just have to adapt. Come, drink some more.
10.jpg

11.jpg

shi.jpg
Oh, before I go. Here, a little something I received from the Governor...
12.jpg

omega.jpg
Waaa... thanks man. That's gotta be valuable right? I'm very touched leh.
shi.jpg
Us three gotta stick together. Well, I'm off.
omega.jpg
Wait. I need your help on a serious matter.One that I can't trust anyone else with.
shi.jpg
Oh? What is it?
omega.jpg
The church always say to do good. And I know it to be the right thing lah. So, I felt like I had to do something...
shi.jpg
Out with it lah.
omega.jpg
The refugees from Luo Yang. They're so poor and destitute. They lost everything in the war. Their homes, land, and wealth...
shi.jpg
...
omega.jpg
I try to bring up the matter up to Crown Prince Dong, but he wouldn't care. I just HAVE to do something.
13.jpg

14.jpg

omega.jpg
Thank you! You've a heart like my own!
shi.jpg
So how much do you need?
omega.jpg
No, I don't need the money. I've already made arrangements lah, but got not time to go over and pick up the materials for construction. Can you help ensure the smooth delivery?
shi.jpg
Yeah. Can, can.
omega.jpg
Wah, thanks bro. The materials are at Anding.
shi.jpg
Got it.

A week's journey later...

15.jpg

16.jpg

official.jpg
Ah... the construction materials? Well...only some of it. The rest is still missing.
shi.jpg
Excuse me?
official.jpg
Not my fault lah. Too many robbers and thieves in these parts.
17.jpg

shi.jpg
Ha?! Lead the way!
14a.jpg

14b.jpg

shi.jpg
(Damn there's at least a dozen of them!) What the fuck is wrong with you?! My friend paid for those supplies! Come on, help me stop them!
official.jpg
My life is worth more lah. We can always wait for next delivery.
18.jpg

shi.jpg
Those are meant for the Luo Yang refugees! I won't let it be stolen!
19.jpg

shi.jpg
Omega?!
omega.jpg
Bro! I heard of the bandits and came with a few hired help!
shi.jpg
Good move! I'll take out their leader!
20.jpg

shi.jpg
Stealing supplies meant for refugees?! Have you no shame?!
bandit.jpg
Ha! Look who's talking, mate! You work for Dong Zhuo, the man who burned Luo Yang!
shi.jpg
Shut up!
21.jpg

bandit.jpg
Get off your high horse, we're both alike.
22.jpg

23.jpg

shi.jpg
Cuck!
bandit.jpg
How about you join us instead? I could use a new stable hand! Hahaha!
24.jpg

bandit.jpg
Tsk... a quiet type eh? Or you too scared to talk or fight now?
25.jpg

shi.jpg
Shut up. Let's fight.
26.jpg

27.jpg

bandit.jpg
Mmm! Not bad. Not bad!
28.jpg

shi.jpg
This ends here, scum...
29.jpg

shi.jpg
I'm not like you!
30.jpg

bandit.jpg
Huff. Huff...you serve a butcher. Your hands are as dirty as his.
31.jpg

shi.jpg
You have no idea what I've been through-
32.jpg

shi.jpg
CHAAAAAOOO-CHEEEEE-
33.jpg

shi.jpg
BYE!
34.jpg

bandit.jpg
Spare me! We only rob cause we were hungry!
shi.jpg
Guards! Arrest this trash before I kill him!
35.jpg

shi.jpg
Ha...good. Very good.
omega.jpg
Steve, you look exhausted. Come meet me back at Chang An later, okay? I'll take care of everything here.

omega.jpg
It's nothing lah, Uncle. We just did what was right.
shi.jpg
Omega deserves all the credit. I just lent a hand.
old.jpg
Don't talk cock lah! I saw you whack that bandit bugger till he cry! You two are our saviors!
omega.jpg
Hahah, enough! I must be getting back to my work.
old.jpg
Xie xie lah! Xie xie ni very much much!

The old man bowed deeply before leaving.

shi.jpg
Well. Satisfied?
omega.jpg
It's always feels good to bring smiles to people faces, doesn't it?
shi.jpg
Then be a comedian.
omega.jpg
Hahahah, nabeh. Thanks bro. You can count on me for anything.
02.jpg

03.jpg

04.jpg

shi.jpg
I'll see you tomorrow.
11.jpg

12.jpg

shi.jpg
(We've got such a strong powerbase, what's stopping Dong Zhuo from expanding? Is he really afraid of the warlords of Central Plains?
dong.jpg
Okay, people! We need a plan! Speak now if you have any suggestions!
13.jpg

14.jpg

shi.jpg
(I agree with Jia Xu.)
15.jpg


Unfortunately, not the rest of the generals are of the same mind as Jia Xu and voted for Niu Fu's proposal instead.

16.jpg

17.jpg

shi.jpg
(At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Dong Zhuo expands his influence.)
bandit.jpg
Your hands are as dirty as his!
shi.jpg
Tch.
05.jpg

shi.jpg
I'll take this.
06.jpg

omega.jpg
Wah. Why leh?
07.jpg

08.jpg

shi.jpg
I'm leaving. I hope we'll meet each other again in better circumstances.
omega.jpg
!?!

15 - Until we meet again

00.jpg

dong.jpg
Shi Difen left? Mwa-ha-ha-ha! No matter! I'll summon him back in no time!
dongmin.jpg
Why should the Crown Prince even be bothered by this insignificant bedseller? He already has me and Lu Bu!
liru.jpg
Crown Prince Dong may not be aware, but he has built a good rapport with two other capable officers. The three of them shared a past, suffice to say we may lose two more capable office-
dongmin.jpg
Enough. Let's not sour this banquet with such talks.
alvin.jpg
He left?
omega.jpg
It was very sudden.
old.jpg
Master Omega! And Master Alkeides. How fortunate!
alvin.jpg
Huh?
omega.jpg
It's you, what is it? Is there a problem, old man?
old.jpg
No. It's Master Difen, he wants to see you at Luo Yang. And he told you two to pack up and go immediately!
alvin.jpg
omega.jpg
!!!
01.jpg

guard.jpg
Report!
02.jpg

03.jpg

shi.jpg
Good.
04.jpg


Chang An

liru.jpg
Crown Prince! It's an emergency! Shi Difen has raised his own banner over Luo Yang!
dong.jpg
I still fail to understand how this is a concern to me. Luo Yang is nothing but rubble and ruins.
dongmin.jpg
Brother, we must make an example out of this upstart! If we let him off, others may imitate him!
dong.jpg
Mmmmmm. You may be right. I'll deal with this fool myself!
05.jpg

shi.jpg
Cuck.
alvin.jpg
That is fast.
omega.jpg
Can't we negotiate a ceasefire?
shi.jpg
Nice try. Go. I don't hope for much. I'll try to buy as much time as possible with Alkeides.
06.jpg

07.jpg

alvin.jpg
The meager harvest is only enough to feed 2000 men for three months. Why don't I take command while you flee the city?
shi.jpg
No. This time, I shall set Luo Yang ablaze...
