God of War Page #3

Getting it ready?

What's your hurry?

Why would I leave you behind?

You think I'd want that?

Hurry...

The horse is ready.

Jiguang!

Morning, Madam Qi!

Morning, General Lu!

General Qi told me just now

we're waiting for you.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Allow me...

Hey pretty lady!

You guys, stop acting like this...

Sorry!

You're drunk!

Let's see...

No, watch me.

You're drunk, pal.

Listen up...

We are Qi Jiguang's troops.

We specialize in killing pirates.

I think you're a pirate.

Brothers...

take them into custody!

Brother...

General!

That's him. He beat us up.

Shut up! Are you blind?

General,

they're your troops.

They can't be.

Come on...

Thank you...

Impressive, General!

Thank you...

Anyone else?

Let me do it again.

Forget it!

Madam Qi?

Come on...

Go for it, Madam Qi...

Harder...

What is that?

Excuse me...

what is this for?

Put your feet inside,

and hold the handle like this.

What is it called?

A mud horse.

You can walk in the mud.

Mud horse?

Very interesting.

Give it a try. It's a lot fun.

Why are these people fighting?

Exactly!

The magistrate is over there.

You're such a coward...

Why doesn't he stop them?

Generals, I'm Zhao Dahe,

the county magistrate of Yiwu.

Why are these people fighting?

You don't understand.

Yiwu has always been poor and barren.

But the folks have discovered a gold mine lately

along with other metal ores.

People started calling this area Treasure Hill.

Villagers from Yongkang came to mine the ores

and the parties started to fight.

They came several days ago

and the villagers from Yiwu fought them off.

But they keep coming back.

Commander!

Commander!

I found men in Yiwu I can train.

Just the man I want.

Take a look at this.

It says here I kiss up to Zhao Wenhua,

replaced Zhang Jing through political trickery

and eventually devised a ploy to murder him.

Did you say that?

If I didn't pay off the Imperial Secret Service

and they managed to report this to Zhen Wenhua,

you'd suffer the same fate as Zhang Jing.

No doubt I was after his position,

but killing Zhang Jing

was not my idea.

They say I was treacherous

and convinced Wang Zhi to surrender.

That was not my idea either.

Don't you think I want to be

a man of his word?

If only the situation was under my control,

the pirates problem

would be resolved without going to war.

Jiguang,

the walls have ears.

With regards to the Imperial Court,

it's best you keep your opinions to yourself.

You're a genius in commanding

and training your troops,

but when it comes to politics,

you have so much to learn.

You want a new army?

This money

was supposed to buy you a promotion.

But I guess you'd rather use it

to train soldiers in Yiwu.

Very well!

I'll leave the Army

in your capable hands.

Thank you, sir!

Listen to me, folks.

We're recruiting soldiers to fight pirates.

I don't know.

You go, I go.

Let me read this for you.

With strong arms...

Liar!

Liar!

Zhao Dahe,

how much did Yongkang village pay you

to con us into joining the army

so they can steal our mines?

Watch your mouth!

Whoever leaves Yiwu to join the Army

is my enemy.

Hear that?

No one is leaving.

Listen to me...

Relax!

We came to see Dacheng.

This way...

Dacheng.

General Qi wants a word with you.

Please

Go away!

Leave me alone!

Going to war is your business.

Fighting pirates is everyone's business.

Dacheng,

no one wants to go to war.

In the face of an invasion,

we must fight to protect our homes.

You must know that.

Damn!

When they came to rob us,

where were you?

Don't butt in, this is man talk.

More water.

She's right.

Where were you when they robbed us?

As a soldier,

why didn't you protect us?

We were busy fighting pirates.

Or else villagers from Yongkang

won't be robbing you.

It would be the pirates.

Can you fight them off?

If you follow me,

I'll send the Army to protect your mines.

You're funny!

You already have an Army.

What do you want with us?

Because you are good men.

You're such a smooth talker.

Are you even a man?

You're being unreasonable.

You must not be a man.

Dacheng,

what will it take for you to say yes?

Your fists.

That's all I know.

I'm happy to oblige.

How do you like my fists?

How is your hand?

Thank you, I won.

Says who?

I have not yet lost!

Keep running!

Give me a hand!

No need to walk us out.

I'll bring them to you in a few days.

Great!

You must keep your word.

Of course!

If anyone tries to steal your mines,

I'll be the first to protect them.

Don't worry, Dacheng.

General Qi is a man of his word.

General Qi,

you're so brilliant.

This is a win-win solution.

You should come with us.

We're going onto the battlefield;

you shouldn't be here doing a cushy job.

That's right. You must come with us.

I'm a scholar.

I have no business

fighting in the battlefield.

Fighting pirates is everyone's business.

You said that yourself.

Are you coming or not?

Magistrate,

nobody knows Yiwu better than you.

You're best suited

to be the Army prefect.

Great!

If you're willing to follow General Qi,

I, Zhao Dahe,

am willing to risk my life

and go wherever you go!

Good!

Let me explain the map to you.

I came to see your new Army.

This is your home, Yiwu.

We're in Xinhe.

Why is Yiwu so small?

It's only a map.

Be careful...

Look!

This bamboo spear is called Wolf Brush.

You don't understand?

Pass me that...

When you use this,

insert the branches and leaves.

Look again.

Looks weird, right?

Stop!

Let's wait!

Take a break on the spot.

Why do we have to run?

You need strength.

How else can you fight?

I have never been this tired before.

General Lou!

I've been practicing with you.

Can I have an army uniform?

Don't forget

you work for Commander Hu.

We wouldn't dare give it to you.

Can you manage?

Yes.

Carry on!

If you won't give up,

we won't give up on you.

Good!

Carry on!

Carry on!

If we stand united,

we can bring down the mountains.

If we are loyal and patriotic,

we can ward off all obstacles.

The General cares about us

like our parents.

If we break the rules,

we shall be punished.

If we obey direct orders,

reward and punishment shall be fair.

We go through fire and water

without hesitation.

We serve His Majesty

and save the people.

Kill pirates

and seek titles.

Raise your sabers!

Back!

If we stand united,

we can bring down the mountains.

If we are loyal and patriotic,

we can ward off all obstacles.

The General cares about us

like our parents

If we break the rules,

we shall be punished

I'm home!

Jiguang!

I'm so sorry.

I was visiting with Minister Tang Shunzhi.

We had a nice visit and forgot the time.

This is a gift from him.

Jiguang,

let's eat.

You've been waiting for me?

It's quite alright.

We don't mind waiting.

I'm sorry.

Let's eat.

I'll take that.

Come on, let's eat.

My dear,

these books are Minister Tang's life's work.

Come on...

My dear...

No!

The food is cold.

Xiao Mou,
