Chapter 429: Lü Bu First, Zhao Yun Second, and Dian Wei Third

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Dian Wei? He’s one tough general!”

“Lü Bu first, Zhao Yun second, and Dian Wei third. He only ranks lower than Lü Bu and Brother Zhao and is even stronger than Guan Yu...”

Mister Bug’s excited voice echoed in the communication channel.

By Brother Zhao, he naturally referred to Zhao Yun.

Mister Bug was quite good at making friends with heroes. He was already brazen enough to call Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu his brothers.

Of course, his friendship with Li Yuanba didn’t go as well.

After all, Li Yuanba was not someone who would call someone his brother easily.

“Another hero from the Three Kingdoms?”

Qin Yueyu sounded rather curious.

So far, Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun had come to Dragon City. If Dian Wei won as Ji Ye declared, then Dragon City would have one top hero from each of Wei, Shu, and Wu.

As to why the heroes of the Three Kingdoms kept coming when there were also the settings of Water Margin and the Yue Army, it was quite easy to understand.

Because the heroes in Water Margin were mostly just fictional characters. Most of them were only Extraordinary except for a few minorities such as Master Luo. Master Luo, on the other hand, couldn’t have had a perfect rating, and he didn’t meet the requirement.

There should be Transcendent people in the Yue Army, but Yue Fei had made too much contribution and eclipsed the other people like the sun.

As a result, his son, Yue Yun, was probably the only general who had a Perfect rating!

Dian Wei was undoubtedly more popular than Yue Yun was, so he had the priority to choose.

In the setting of the entire Han Dynasty, there were definitely a lot of people who were more popular and famous than Dian Wei.

For example, there were Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, etc. However, exactly because they were too historically prestigious, they were legends in the eyes of most Chidragon natives!

It was unlikely for them to demean themselves by competing for an opening with Dian Wei.

Those who were weaker than them weren’t as popular as the heroes from the Three Kingdoms. After all, because of the games and s that were adapted from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the heroes of the Three Kingdoms had special positions in the entire history. The same rule applied to the other dynasties.

“Well, there should be another reason.”

“It’s the traditional nostalgia of Chidragon people. They tend to hang around with people they know!” Elder Zhou said to the communicator.

When a hero accepted summoning, they would consider the setting and the members of the settlement.

For example, when Lu Junyi had arrived at the Twin Dragon Island, Yan Qing would be more likely to be summoned. By the same logic, Wu Song was close to Lu Zhishen and Sun Ce was close to Zhou Yu, so they were more willing to arrive and join their acquaintances.

Ninth Uncle, on the other hand, wouldn’t have chosen Dragon City if he hadn’t lost his memories.

After all, even though Dragon City had huge potential, it did not have the corresponding setting for him. After he arrived, he couldn’t let people related to him arrive unless he gave them invitations.

For the heroes, it was definitely a serious matter that was worth considering.

Therefore, even if the rare offerings could summon the heroes from all the civilizations across Earth, the heroes of a settlement couldn’t be from complicated backgrounds.

Furthermore, the heroes wouldn’t just consider relations and backgrounds but also the resources in the settlement.

The resources in Dragon City were most suitable for the training of heroes from history and myths.

Therefore, a lot of warriors and cultivators would arrive.

The heroes on the magic and superpower side, such as Daenerys, Gandalf, Jaina, and X-men, wouldn’t choose it even if they met the requirements.

Of course, that was not definite.

After all, Dragon City boasted the SkyNet, the Spring of Radiation, and the Magic Crystals from the Tyrant Lizards’ settlement.

Some of the heroes who weren’t from related backgrounds might choose to arrive at Dragon City where nobody would compete with them for the resources.

“Die!”

While Ji Ye considered, the battle on the thunderous battlefield already began.

The archers had already assumed a battle formation and launched a bunch of heavy arrows towards Dian Wei.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Those heavy arrows were even greater than the arrows of the Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow that Ji Ye made. Because they were launched by Extraordinary Rank-5 Divine Arms, they were even more powerful than the sniper rifle bullets of Dragon City!

Whoosh!

Dian Wei, however, did not dodge the arrows at all. Instead, he chose to confront them.

He threw the giant halberds in his hands to the ground and took off the ten short spears on his back before he hurled them at the archers.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

The short spears made of black iron collided with the incoming heavy arrows.

With sparks splashing out, they shattered and knocked away the heavy arrows they hit.

The black spears, on the other hand, weren’t stopped at all. They crossed dozens of meters and hit the heads of the archers who were still on their knees after the shot and had no time to dodge!

Pew!

The helmet of an Extraordinary Rank-5 archer was penetrated by one of the black short spears.

When the short spear came out of the back of his head, it already became bloodstained, and it was not slowed at all.

It moved on to the chest of the next archer at a high speed.

Clang, clang, clang...

In the end, the short spear turned completely red after penetrating four men.

When it hit the last archer, it still had the momentum to stab through his body. The bloodstained tip of the spear could be seen on his back!

Unlike the units under the other kings’ command, who counted on their special abilities, the Divine Arm Archers had luxurious equipment.

Their equipment, which was similar to an external skeleton, was definitely Excellent among the Extraordinary Rank-5 armors.

Dian Wei’s strike had penetrated ten layers of Extraordinary Rank-5 armors, not to mention that it had already crushed the heavy arrows earlier!

More importantly, he had hurled ten short spears at the same time!

It meant that he had only used one-tenth of his strength.

“Hiss, oh my goodness, that’s so awesome!”

“Does Dian Wei really have such a terrifying force?” one of the core players asked in surprise.

“Of course. Technically speaking, Dian Wei should be the strongest man in Three Kingdoms!”

Elder Meng’s voice sounded in the communication channel.

Of the warriors from the Three Kingdoms, many had remarkable physical strength according to tales.

For example, Zhou Cang could carry five hundred catties and travel three hundred kilometers in a day, Cao Zhang could maul ferocious beasts with bare hands, and Guan Yu, who wielded a weapon that weighed 84 catties, definitely had great arm strength too!

However, according to historical records, there were only two of them who were really strong.

One of them was Xu Chu, who could hold a bull’s tail and haul it backward for a hundred steps.

The other was Dian Wei, who wielded a pair of halberds that weighed eighty catties. He even clutched two enemy soldiers in his armpits as weapons!

Eight catties in the Han Dynasty equaled about 16 kilograms. They were likely the heaviest weapons that were recorded in that part of history.

Furthermore, in the entire history, only several people had weapons heavier than Dian Wei’s.

For example, Yue Yun, Yue Fei’s son, wielded a pair of iron spears that weighed eighty catties.

However, the catties in the Song Dynasty weighed heavier, and those spears actually equaled fifty kilograms, which must be an exaggeration.

On the other hand, the assassin that Zhang Liang sent to ambush the First Emperor of Qin used a hammer that weighed 120 catties, which equaled fifty kilograms too. But it was not exactly a regular weapon.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

Unlike the spear that penetrated ten layers of armor and five Extraordinary archers, the heavy arrows that the archers sent out, which were as powerful as bullets from powerful sniper rifles, exploded when they were three feet away from Dian Wei!

“Is it protective True Qi?”

“No, I don’t think so!”

“I don’t think the heroes of the Three Kingdoms practice inner strength!”

As a matter of fact, neither the heroes of the Three Kingdoms nor those of Water Margin had been focused on inner strength.

They had been devoted to strengthening their own bodies with their techniques, like Ji Ye with the Bulldozing Force he got at the beginning!

It was a feature of the heroes for the battlefield. A stronger body was more suitable in prolonged battles than True Qi, which could run out.

“It was shattered by the brutal vibe... The brutal vibe works on lifeless targets too!”

Ji Ye, however, noticed something wrong.

Theoretically speaking, the aura power could only work on living creatures, especially when the hero who launched it wasn’t Transcendent yet.

However, Dian Wei’s aura of brutality had shattered the lifeless arrows, which meant that the power was likely his talent!

This was not entirely ungrounded.

In historical records, Dian Wei was a strong and fearsome warrior.

In Three Kingdoms, the events of many warriors, like how Zhao Yun killed 54 generals at Changbanpo and scared an enemy general to death with a furious roar, were exaggerated compared to their life experiences in history.

However, the descriptions of Dian Wei matched the history books.

For example, Dian Wei had killed someone on a market, raised a banner with one hand, and killed one enemy with every ten steps.

In the last battle of his life, he led soldiers to resist the army of Zhang Xiu, who felt humiliated when Cao Cao took his aunt and rebelled with his advisor Jia Xu’s suggestion.

When all the other soldiers died and he was shot and cut dozens of times, he stood at the gate of the camp without retreating!

Zhang Xiu’s soldiers intended to capture him alive, but he clutched two enemies in his armpits and killed them. The other soldiers were too scared to approach him.

In the end, Dian Wei, knowing that he couldn’t survive, voluntarily marched at Zhang Xiu’s army and then cursed the enemy before he was killed.

Zhang Xiu’s soldiers didn’t dare to approach him and cut his head until a long time after he lost his breath.

The dead Dian Wei resisted the living enemies long enough for Cao Cao to escape!

Cao Cao knew that he had made a mistake by taking someone else’s wife. After hearing Dian Wei’s death, he wept for his subordinate for the first time and had someone fetch Dian Wei’s body. He paid respect to Dian Wei every time he passed his grave!
