Original subtitles

Adapted from the manhua of the same name, The Ravages of Time

The spear, who has it not harmed in the numerous battles

The halberd, its rise and fall is impermanent

The blade, incomparable in this garish world

The long lance, the man from Yan rages in these dark times

The imperial army kills people like grass mown

The warrior defeated is like a mountain toppled

Only when the arrow is used do you regret not having enough of it

The phoenix lost its nest, the azure dragon's horn is severed

Gazing at the Divine Land, nothing remains when you look back after a thousand years of rises and falls

While steering a small boat, create poems over wine describing heroes

Eternal worries blind one to the beauty locked deep in the palace

In every possible strategy, things constantly change and fade away

Past and present matters become topics for idle chatter and enter my dreams

Human life is but a fleeting moment as the times fly past

Translator's Note: the last line of the opening poem of Romance of the Three Kingdoms It is better to keep an open mind with respect to right and wrong or success and failure when evaluating historical developments

I won't hold this against you

This must be the Huiji army unit

under Sun Jiang of Jiangdong

Number 3 isn't occupied by the Huang household

Are all of the Xiliang soldiers this clever?

This will be interesting to watch

I've been away for so many years

that I've forgotten where I live

It should be Number 2

Number 2 is occupied by the Li household

I am old now so I have really forgotten

Grandfather, you've such poor memory

Number 1, it's definitely Number 1

Number 1?

Arrest him!

I lied to you

M-Men...

Don't move if you want to live

We'll have to trouble you to escort us into the city

You all go on ahead

Understood

Miss, please spare my life

Be quiet

Heroine

you're not going to kill me, right?

I told you to be quiet

Luoyang

What's going on down there?

Why did you let so many people into the city at once?

Luoyang

Luoyang Don't be reckless with what you say

Luoyang

It's fine! They're my brothers from the same hometown!

Lord Zhao

I have already reported your arrival to the Ministry of War

Luoyang Thank you for your trouble

Luoyang Lord Zhao, this person is...

She's my 18th concubine, acquired in Xiliang

She's beautiful, right?

You are young and promising,

and able to enjoy having several partners

I am truly envious

Yes, she is beautiful and gentle

Let's go

Be a little more gentle...

She's extraordinary

as one would expect of our Xiliang women

Lord Zhao, take care!

Large flat bread!

Fresh, large flat bread!

Delicious, large flat bread, come have some!

Who would dare marry you

if you're so fierce...

High quality wine!

General, good morning!

Xiliang Army Hua Xiong

Xiliang Army Hua Xiong Good morning

Good morning?

It's already noon now

No, that's a secret signal

Men! There are assassins!

Young lady, you go on ahead, I will handle this

Go now

Follow our plan!

Come with me

Don't mess up my hair!

That hurts!

They're the Mouth Assassins

Judging from your accent, you are from Kuaiji

Are you from Wang Lang's army or Sun Jian's army?

I am Huang Gai from Sun Jian's army

Good

I've long wanted to fight you!

That is exactly my intention

Stop! Don't run!

Stop there! Stop!

That hurts!

Stop! Stop!

If you come any closer, I'll kill your superior

Stop!

His life is most important

That hurts...

You're really my protective charm

She has some ability,

this girl is on par with Xiao Meng

Protective charm, come with me!

No way

So besides your martial arts skill

in terms of ruthlessness,

you're also on par with Xiao Meng

Who said that southern girls are gentle?!

Vicious

Run!

Northern Officers Camp

Is this part of the rabble that broke into the city?

You should've looked at the map before entering Luoyang

There's actually someone foolish enough in this world

to single-handedly charge into the Northern Officers Camp

She's so beautiful, it'll be a pity to kill her

Let me play with you

Is this all that the Fifth Company is capable of?

Xiao Guo, hurry up

People are laughing at you!

The one from the Fifth Company got taken out

They're too weak!

Let's go, Sixth Company

Don't be an embarrassment

Jiang Ping, don't embarrass us!

Take her down and she's yours

Damn it, all of them in this officers camp

are the Xiliang Army's generals

If this goes on, sooner or later, I will...

Vicious Serves you right

Vicious The shrew has run into a bunch of perverts

The shrew has run into a bunch of perverts

He's even stronger than the previous one

Even Uncle Huang Gai would...

Brother

I'll help you out

Wine

Let me do it! This is fun!

Let me do it too

Officer, please don't...

This isn't worth a lot of money

So stingy! You're so stingy!

Brothers, well done!

She lost to our Sixth Company

Thank you, brothers

This girl is mine

You fell for it

The one from the Sixth Company got killed

Serves him right

Let's attack together!

Damn it

The Third Company is trying to get ahead of us

Let's go too!

Go! Go!

Who was that? Who used a sneak attack?

Who are you?

Who did that? Come out! Vicious

You coward!

What kind of hero are you? Come out!

Come out if you dare

Come out!

(altered voice) I only commit shameless acts

I'm not any kind of hero in the first place

Who is the one speaking?

Outflank him on both sides

This...

No need to make this so troublesome

Come and die together

Brothers, kill him!

Attack together! Kill him!

Luoyang is indeed a place

with talented individuals in hiding

Thank you for rescuing me, hero

M-Murder!

Only the two of you are left

Come

I will not use any weapons

Damn you

I would rather die than be humiliated!

Such arrogance despite not being very capable

Have you found the one called Huang Gai?

Lord Li's forces have covered all the streets and alleys

I believe we will capture him soon

Report!

Report

What happened to the spy who escaped

in the direction of the Northern Gate Tower?

General

the Northern Officers Camp was attacked

A total of 15 generals are dead

Two were killed by the

Mouth Assassins from Sun Jian's army

The others were mostly killed

by this sort of throwing darts

The wine is still warm

Luoyang city is

becoming a lot livelier

What Hua Xiong never expected was that his name would go down in history... forever associated with warm wine

Leave home, your father is safe

The stylus carves out the landscape, depicting the thousand mile journey home in every inch of the drawing

Part ways with your father, your wife is safe

The bride stays home alone, how many lines have been written in the letters over these ten years

Part ways with your wife, the children are safe

The sword leans propped up against the fence, facing a line of geese returning home

Men who have left home miss their families

If this parting cannot be overcome, you remain closed off to the vastness of the world

Men who have left home miss their families

One night of a reed pipe playing brings pain to the faces of the soldiers in the entire camp

Separation in life is painful for the soldiers on the ground

Separation in death is painful for the dead under the banners

Having no family is painful, no clothes can't be mended

Having no wife is painful, who will I be buried with?

Being childless is painful, there is no place to return to

Having no roots is even more painful
