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

Episode 12 The Handicapped Warriors vs the War God

Huang Gai! You coward!

How long do you intend to hide?

You have killed everyone here

Huang Gai should be among them

There's one last person

You traitor, everyone in the nation will always remember

your plot against the imperial court to seize the throne

Will always remember your treachery and immorality

The undying spirits of every single loyal subject

who died here today as a martyr

will haunt you and curse you like malicious ghosts

Not only will you fail to conquer the realm

your descendants will also be reviled

Your Excellency, Yuan Shao is about to die

There is no point in keeping this person alive, right?

You are a tyrant and a traitor

Everyone in the realm has the right to punish you

You will have no place in this world

Yes, you will be slaughtered by your own people

or even by your own son!

What nonsense!

Your Excellency, let me kill this old man!

That was a good scolding

You sounded like an ignorant bitch

The Han dynasty will perish but not by my hand

Instead, it will perish due to you maggots

who cling to your positions yet do no work

As the Grand Tutor, you have a high position and handsome salary,

you enjoy all the splendor and glory

yet you never admonished the emperor

or supervised the government officials

letting the emperor's maternal kin and eunuchs

wreck havoc in the imperial court

letting the Yellow Turban bandits bring great misery to the realm

laying waste to large stretches of land, making the people destitute

What right do you have to talk about loyalty here?

Let me ask you this

Do you desire the nation that you have single-handedly corrupted

or do you desire splendor, glory and wealth?

Heavens, please do not pay attention to this traitor's ravings

The Sun and moon can bear witness to my intentions

Ancestors in Heaven, our hearts...

Yuan Wei

You have neither the insight to support the nation

nor the ability to save the nation

You do not even understand the hearts of the people

The hearts of the people?

It is surprising that this is the traitor's political view

No

It's not that you don't understand the hearts of the people

You do not care about them at all!

Ask yourself honestly, Yuan Wei

Between you and me, who is the real traitor?

Dong Zhuo appears to be expanding

This isn't real, it must be an illusion

Old man, you're indeed still alive

Jump now!

I don't know how to swim

Archers

Don't stop

That old man is the commander of Sun Jian's navy

He's a very good swimmer, keep firing

It does not matter

Don't bother about him

It is about time to go to the royal capital

Do you mean that

Yuan Shao successfully escaped from the imperial palace?

With what is left of Yuan Shao's troops now

he can only escape to the old royal capital

Lu Bu has already positioned troops for an ambush

We will attack from the rear

This is the real meaning of "gather outside the city"

the top strategy in the world

This is it for you three Handicapped Warriors

You still haven't seen a lot of the Handicapped Warriors' moves

This is a rare chance, want me to broaden your perspective?

Lei will distract him, we'll make use of that to...

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Come back!

At this point

whatever you do will be useless

I'm just a mercenary

I don't want to die for no reason

General Lu

As long as you take me away

I'll be yours

This...

Young Master, isn't she your woman?

I'm not the only one with feelings

Right?

Lu Bu

She's mine

Don't you dare!

As long as you don't kill me

I'll follow you

I...

I can do anything for you

What did she say?

Did you hear her?

Are you kidding me?

Xiao Meng, you…

Oh no!

Mouth Spike

Sister Meng!

Sorry

My plan failed

You wanted to capture me to escape Luoyang

The Handicapped Warriors are indeed not that simple

Young Master, that was close, if that had been you...

Young Master

Didn't you say that you want her? I can arrange that

I didn't say that! You remembered wrongly

No, no, no, I will die! I don't want her!

You don't want her?

I want her

What exactly is this person thinking? I can't tell at all

It's as if everything has gone according to his plan

It's red...

Is this water

or blood?

If this is water

why is it so hot?

What

exactly is this place?

Is he human

or a ghost?

He's smiling

No human

can endure this kind of pain

Don't tell me

he's a ghost?

So I've really landed in the underworld

Stop, you don't need to keep going

Didn't I tell you all to stay with His Excellency?

This axe alone is enough to deal with the Xiliang men

Wen Chou, I really cannot tell how strong you are

The ones guarding the royal capital up ahead...

They're probably much stronger

But

I'm in my best form today

Even if there are ten Lu Bus

I can take them all

That's absurd

Your Excellency, what did I say just now?

Even if there are ten Lu Bus, you can take them all

If I knew this earlier, I should've said ten beauties

This person is Wen Chou from Hebei

Then the one with Liu Bian, the deposed emperor, is...

That's Yuan Shao, of course

I heard that Lu Bu once charged five li into

the center of an army camp on his own

and killed Liu Zong, the one-eyed dragon, by himself

I found it strange how he could do that with his strength alone

Upon seeing them today, the truth is clear now

It turns out that there isn't just one Lu Bu

No wonder he's so powerful

Since you know how powerful we are,

withdraw your troops at once

Wen Chou

The enemy has huge forces, why don't we...

All right

I really want to fight all of you

Lu Bus

He was defeated with one move

With the back of the axe

Even his horse couldn't withstand this power

This is not a beautiful way to die

If this person is Lu Bu

never mind ten

even if there are a hundred of him

I can take them all!

Zhang Family Manor

Qingfeng Gang

Seventh Alley

Sworn brother

I once heard you say that

after helping Father conquer the realm

you want to be the Grand Administrator of Luoyang

So

Brother Xu Lin

I will burn Luoyang city for you

Before you receive Luoyang

I will first bring the murderer who took your life here

Release them

First Young Master

Assistant Gang Leader Wang, you're also here

Bastard

How many Lu Bus are there exactly?

Xiao Meng, you…

That's right, she got taken in by Lu Bu's evil schemes

that's why we're seeing each other here again

First Young Master, I…

Zhang Lei, what are you talking about?

That's not what I mean

What I wanted to say was

you look so beautiful in this way

Now's not the time for this

As I expected of First Young Master,

his reaction is exactly the same as mine earlier

Everyone has seen Lu Bu's true strength today

From the moment I fell into his hands

I knew my fate

It's a pity that I've also harmed the brothers of the Qingfeng Gang

First Young Master, you are wrong

If the Handicapped Warriors had not informed us in advance

that the city was going to be burned down

to allow our brothers to leave Luoyang ahead of time

I'm afraid the Qingfeng Gang would have perished in a sea of flames

Now, we have only sacrificed a few dozen of our members

but saved hundreds of our brothers' lives

How can you say you caused us harm?

In the end, I'm still the main cause of this disaster

If you all had not come to rescue me

everyone wouldn't be...

Ouch!

What are you two brats doing?

Are you rebelling or have you gone crazy?

You're the one who's gone crazy

I can't listen to this crazy talk anymore

First Young Master, who do you think

the Handicapped Warriors are?

We've never been defeated

Furthermore, you still don't know

what our crazy chief is doing right now

Does that mean that you still have a backup move?

Yes, that guy is still around

First Young Master's mood has gotten a lot better

Yes

There's only one last thing

we have to do now

Lu Bu!

Your back must be aching now after standing for so long!

Let's exchange a few blows

Very good, my hands are also itching for a fight

Yes, fighting would be more comfortable

I never expected that

we would be the first to fight Lu Bu

Today, we can personally witness General Lu Bu's

heroic bearing in battle inside the royal capital

This is truly, emotionally overwhelming

Come

Let me lead the cheers

General Lu

General Lu

Their morale is very high

These people have absolute confidence in Lu Bu

General Lu is invincible in battle

The deputy general has been shot

Quiet! Don't shout anymore!

That was so noisy

Yes, it was very noisy

Translator's Note: one jin (during the Han dynasty) is about 220 grams / 7.76 ounce 100 jin

Wrong!

It's 150 jin

You're bragging

How can a shorty like you have this much strength?

Don't make me laugh

But...

Once I swing it with my left hand

its power is close to 1000 jin

It's going to collapse

It's coming down

Run! Hurry!

Hurry up

Run!

He isn't human

This power is more than just 1000 jin

But

you can't defeat me by simply relying on brute strength

I have plenty of brute strength, that's why I'm the vanguard

As for killing people

that's his job

Are the Handicapped Warriors this strong?

Looks like Lei and Ang have yet to use that move

Do we really have a chance of defeating Lu Bu?

Terrifying

You are really so strong that it's terrifying

No wonder even the infallible Xu Lin was...

The Handicapped Warriors are really deserving of their reputation

Lu Bu is also deserving of his reputation

Even his flattery is better than others

You're the first person to survive our coordinated attack

I will also be the first person to take your lives

Is that possible?

He hasn't used a weapon yet

I don't mind telling you this

Whether you use a weapon or not

you can't withstand our strongest coordinated attack

This is a very strong move

Even our chief can't block it

That's perfect, I like challenges

So

to raise your fighting spirits

I will spare your lives

if you defeat me

What an arrogant tone

Lei, did you hear what he said?

I didn't hear him very well

It seems like he said he wants to spare our lives

What do you think?

I really want to beat him up

Come on then

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

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

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

Having no roots is even more painful
