It had been 8 hours and noon had come since Tianlong started his move in the southeast the messenger sent to inform Lu Bu had finally arrived at Dunhuang exhausted to the brim as he traveled nonstop from fort Wuwei.
City lord's house…
Lu Bu and Diao Chan were sitting in the study as a knock was heard from outside.
Lu Bu: Who is it?
City guard: my lord! My lord! News from one of the fronts!
Lu Bu: what?! Which front to be so quick in striking out who was it? Zhang Liao? Gao Shun?
City guard: no my lord! From the southeast border! General Lu bid a messenger to tell the lord of his campaign for Wuwei and the results are unknown as the messenger just arrived after general Lu was just starting.
Lu Bu: so Long'er made the first move? Good! Anything else within the message?
City guard: my lord! general Lu requested an additional 8 thousand to the southeast front if he did succeed in case, they run into one of the Huang's big armies.
Lu Bu: Good! It's been eight hours?
City guard: indeed, my lord!
Lu Bu: send the 8thousand have Guyi lead them he shall be Tianlong's assistant in his campaign! Have them march off right away!
City guard: right away my lord!
Diao Chan who heard the Lu immediately went to Lu Bu and spoke, what happened to Long'er and Qi'er Bu?
As Diao Chan spoke her eyes gleamed waiting for an answer.
Lu Bu: its nothing our son is a bold one to kick such a start right off the bat!
Diao Chan: you mean Long'er is attacking?
Lu Bu: mm, that's why I'm sending him 8 thousand for him to command I have faith my young tiger shall emerge victorious if not he's no son of mine hahaha!
Diao Chan pinched Lu Bu's arm when she heard that and spoke, I hope nothing harmful comes to my babies…
After Lu Bu gave the order the 8 thousand immediately set off for fort Wuwei under the falling sun.
Wuwei…
Night had fallen upon the battlefield where Huang Chen and his 8thousand had fallen as he was finally slain by Hou Fengxian who beat Ai Feng by a hair as he broke through the line while they were fighting.
Ai Feng: stinky Fengxian! Come out I want to spar!
The camp was filled with the yell of Ai Feng who was challenging Hou Fengxian to release his anger from having his prey killed in front of him.
Hou Fengxian: hahaha brother Feng! All's fair in war Jaja! Jaja!
Ai Feng swung his wooden staff towards Hou Fengxian jumped back grabbing a wooden staff as well before flipping in the air and landing behind Ai Feng swinging.
Ai Feng: ha close one! Ai Feng spun his staff before jumping back distancing himself from Hou Fengxian whose staff glowed golden-blue.
Ai Feng: we shall end this in one move Stinky Fengxian ha!
Ai Feng who shouted struck his weapon out which slowly started glowing with a yellow haze that had an image of a hawk.
Ai Feng: [The Golden Hawks Flight over the Moon!] Raa!
Hou Fengxian: [ Imperial Lion's Roar of War!] Ha!
Both staffs struck out taking the shape of a flying eagle and a golden blue lion roaring before they rushed at each other.
As they were about to collide a purple glow appeared before the two beasts before they were coiled by a giant purple snake with two horns.
Rushing Boa's Curl!
Ai Feng: what?!
Hou Fengxian: impossible!
As the dust cleared a figure in white robes appeared.
Tianlong: what are you two doing? You call this a spar maybe at our level but with the soldiers around not on this level!
Ai Feng and Hou Fengxian: sorry lord!
Tianlong: it okay just take it somewhere isolated next time!
After that incident Tianlong returned to his tent…
Tianlong: Alright! System pull up the map!
System: [ Host has gotten a mission! view it in the menu and congratulations for completing a betrothal of Young your awarded 200xp!]
Tianlong noted the systems words before looking at the map and was still quite north not near Wuwei and scanned the areas between his army and Wuwei and this lasted till midnight.
Tianlong had slightly redder eyes than usual and dark bag under his eyes as he spoke menu!

Tianlong: ha good seems we have the same eye system! I was aiming for those two and Wuwei Lumbering yard! But system can I upgrade you now?
System: [ host can indeed upgrade me to level two for more features unlocked in the system!]
Tianlong: good! System go ahead and upgrade we shall talk tomorrow after your upgrade!
After Tianlong finished talking with the system he went to sleep as the system upgraded…
System: [ 1%...5%...12 %....31%... 38%...50 %...55%...100% beep! Beep! Upgrade complete!]
Soon after the systems, upgrade morning had come and with-it Tianlong and his army marched towards Wuwei Pasture while he left a messenger behind for the 8thousand reinforcements.
Fu Chen: my lord where are we marching towards?
Fu Chen's question caught the attention of the other captains as their deputy spoke.
Tianlong: good! Now that you mention It, we shall march like this! Fu Chen my deputy! You shall lead 10thousand with your deputies being Shi Jun and Hou Fengxian, Lu Lingqi and captains Hanan Zhou and Sima Ying and Zhao Fu while I shall march with Ai Feng, Kong Feng, Guan Hai and Sima Zang!
Fu Chen was shocked when he heard Tianlong before he bowed towards Tianlong.
Tianlong: remember if a big army approaches retreat and cover the flank of the pasture and we'll come riding to help!
Fu Chen: I shall bring you the village of Wuwei captured my lord!
Tianlong nodded before he spoke, leave the citizens if they resist kill the ones that do but harm none!
With that Tianlong had split the army of 20thousand into two and marched for Wuwei Pastures and Wuwei village.
One hour later…
Cavalier 1: my lord the pasture is in sight! From the looks of it it's ungarrisoned and the gates are wide open and there are a few people on the walls!Tianlong: have Ai Feng with 500 riders advance! Have Kong Feng take 1thousand and guard the forest in case the garrison is hiding!
After the 500 riders reached the gate a white flag rose and a person spoke, the Pasture of Wuwei surrenders hold your weapons!
Ai Feng: good so long as none resist, we will not harm you! General Lu is a kind man! Someone return to the lord and tell him of the surrender!
Tianlong: no need Ai Feng!Ai Feng: my lord!
Tianlong: people of Wuwei pasture I am Lu Tianlong of Dunhuang and have come with the intention of unifying Wuwei as we speak Wuwei Village should be under our control so long as you raise the Lu flag over your pasture you shall be safe!
Soon after Tianlong's speech a flag was given to the pasture head which raised It high.
Tianlong: Head Fong! Do you know what happened to the garrison?
Head Fong: they were gathered up by general Chen who marched east with an army of 30thousand!
Tianlong: why was Huang Chen with an army of 25thousand in the north of Wuwei then?
Head Fong: General Huang came in from Tianshu village in the south with his army coming back from Shu.
Tianlong's red eyes glimmered like rubies hearing what head Fong said and immediately yelled out, Ai Feng! Take 3thousand brothers and take the Lumbering yard! 500 of you shall stay here while I march for Wuwei send word to Fu Chen if he conquered Wuwei village send 4thousand to Wuwei and stand guard at the village protecting our rear!
Tianlong had already saw the fall of Wuwei prefecture as no army was standing guard which would allow Tianlong to pose a threat and make the Huang faction redirect some of their armies.
Tianlong: System! Have you finished your upgrade?
System: [ Host has now upgraded the system to level 2 and has unlocked the territory management menu along with the second level of the shop being unsealed and has unlocked the naming system!]
Tianlong: Naming system?
System: [ host of the captains, animals, or army you may command host is a general and can bestow names to units like your ferocious demon cavalry or something like me the system!]
Tianlong: I can name you system?!
System: [indeed host!]
Tianlong was quite after the systems response before he spoke again, alright system I decided I shall name you Kobe!
System: [ beep… beep... name changing initiated system shall now be known as Kobe]
Tianlong: Kobe! How many troops would be in Wuwei?
Kobe: [host Wuwei is a medium sized city with 800thousand people as its citizens and should have a garrison of at least 5thousand or more!]
Tianlong: while Ai Feng shall hold the lumber, yard have a messenger send word for a thousand to come down to Wuwei while he guard the yard!
Although Tianlong was speaking to the system, he was also speaking to the messengers awaiting his orders. Send word to Dunhuang and tell them the conquest of Wuwei prefecture was swift and decisive and send word that an army of 30thousand marched eastwards from Wuwei led by one named Chen.
Tianlong was able to siege down Wuwei for the time being as his troops came for reinforcing the battle of Wuwei while 8thousand weary soldiers arrived at fort Wuwei.
Guyi: seems the young lord was successful in his strike and has advanced! Good! Men we shall rest at fort Wuwei for two hours before we march towards Wuwei prefecture!
When the soldiers heard Guyi they shouted and cried out as they marched ten hours nonstop from Dunhuang to Wuwei just for a decisive battle that would take place at Wuwei.
Somewhere east of Wuwei.
A burly yet refined figure could be seen atop his grey horse with his yellow cape flowing in the wind his face twitched…
Chen Zuren the general leading 30thousand troops toward Gao shuns fort Zhuyin looked to his south for a long time.
Chen Zuren: all forces turnabout! We head for Wuwei! Something is wrong!
Enemy soldier 1: what? Aren't we to fight at Zhuyin what happened?
Enemy solider 2: I don't know may be that Huang Chen got defeated and lost Wuwei!
Enemy soldier 3: for a brother of the lord he is to weak to be beaten!
Without knowing who sparked the talk about defeat the soldiers jibbed about Huang Chens actual defeat and death in the south against the Black Horse Army which was at Wuwei's doorstep.
