Mulan: Rise of a Warrior Page #3

---

Are you living for the dead,

or for the living?

Give it back!

There are things you must do!

It is your duty!

You are no longer the Sister Mulan

I adored!

Because you wanted to escape,

you caused the death of Brother Wentai,

And you will cause the death of many

of our brothers in the future!

You are so selfish!

He really wanted to see

you become a good leader.

If he sees what you have become,

he will be so disappointed!

Tiger!

Fall in!

The General Hua you see before you

is actually terrified of battle.

I had been afraid and hiding all along.

But...

I never thought my fear and hiding

would cause the loss of the most

important friend in my life

His departure lets me understand

fleeing from the endless battles

only makes us lose even more!

From now on, I will

become stronger,

and protect each one of you!

And you must all become stronger

to protect those near you!

Will you do that?

Hail, General Hua!

Hail, the Wei army!

Hail, General Hua!

Brother Wentai!

No matter if I live or die,

tell Mulan I have died!

Her emotional tie must be cut before

she can really grow strong

Promise me!

All right

In the sixth year of the Emperor's rule,

General Hua led 5,000 soldiers

to lure the Rourans across the river

He ordered his men to destroy a dyke upstream.

Countless enemy soldiers were washed away

We killed 10,000 of the enemy with no loss of life!

In the seventh year, he chased

the enemy for 300 miles

It was snowing

The enemy thought we had retreated

But General Hua disregarded the hardships

and tracked them down to their hiding place,

attacked when they were unprepared,

killed 20,000, and took 3,000 prisoners!

The Rouran quake at the sound of his name!

Also, when General Hua goes to battle,

he always stands in front of his soldiers

His men are so moved,

they will gladly die for him!

When he sees other battalions in trouble,

he will always help them

So among the Wei army,

he inspires confidence,

And is well-respected.

In the eighth year,

General Hua led 3,000 men...

Enough!

Say no more. Demoted to

the cooking team!

Why are you demoting General Hua

to the cooking team?

I meant you!

Remove him! Yes, sir!

Commander-in-chief, sir!

We can have wine if we win! Come!

General Hua! You are a great guy!

I want to be your sworn brother!

Sorry, General Hua! He's drunk

General Hua, I'm not drunk!

General Hua!

Let's tell her the truth

No!

Now the army's morale is strong

and it all hinges on her!

I always hoped...

her heart would harden

And not be bothered by matters

of emotion

As long as the Rourans still live,

we do not have a home

The nation's business is more

important than our own

You two are so lonely!

Chiefs Futu, Shelun and Buluzhen

are outside,

waiting to bid farewell

to Your Highness

Your Highness!

My tribe lost badly in

the Battle of Buhe,

We wish to return to the grassland

to rest and recover!

I gathered everyone this time,

not just to loot and plunder!

With the Donghu, Dayue

and Dawan tribes together

we can attack and claim

the Central Plains

Forever leave the frigid north,

and realize the dreams of the Rouran!

Now I need everyone to be united.

What do you think?

The Old Danyu is kind,

and has permitted us to depart

Yes, Your Highness!

Come! Bring the wine!

My father is kind.

And you have worked very hard!

Futu, you have worked hardest

I will see you off first

Thank you, Your Highness!

Who will be next?

Father

Futu was talking the other tribes

into retreating, so I killed him

Child! I know you are unhappy,

having run around the grasslands

for so long,

trying to gather all the tribes

Father,

my life was given to me by you.

I will not speak of unhappiness.

Morale is too low now,

they cannot take another battle

We must preserve the Rouran

bloodlines

When you are Danyu

you will understand

But I am not content!

With our strength,

we might not lose

That means we also might not win

Let us retreat

Father,

do you remember

what you used to say

when I was a boy and

would ask you

why we always loot and plunder?

We Rourans don't have iron

Why do we need iron?

To make weapons

Why do we need weapons?

So we can loot and plunder!

Yes, Father.

I think like my sister.

I also dream of a day

when we can finally stop looting

year after year

and live the abundant life

of the Wei people

As long as we take the Wei territory,

I will fulfill my responsibility

Father,

you should agree with me, right?

Danyu, it has been polished

Gude, stay and serve me!

My father's soul has risen to the sky

From today on, l, Mendu,

am your new Danyu

Danyu! Danyu!

Danyu! Danyu!

Danyu!

Your mother's family name is Yuguo

We must marry in the future,

to birth the most purebred

Rouran child

who shall rule the earth!

Mendu of the Rouran has become

the new Danyu

He has gathered an army of 200,000

and is ready to strike south

What do you think, Generals?

Commander-in-chief!

I have fought with Mendu before

He is cruel and violent

We cannot go against his 200,000 troops

with out meager forces

Why don't we retreat, defend the gateways,

and wait for them to come to us?

What do you think?

Commander-in-chief!

If we retreat, morale will drop,

and if Mendu pursues us at this time,

we will suffer great losses

I beg you to consider,

we must not retreat!

I beg for your command to lead

the frontlines!

General Hua, you are so loyal and courageous

What is your strategy?

Normally, we confront with the main

and win by surprise

Normally, we would confront the enemy

with the main troop

While a secondary troop hides

in ambush

But this time I want to do the opposite!

I lead the confrontation troop. While

Commander-in-chief leads the main as a surprise

As long as I have a small victory

at the start and anger Mendu

Thus luring him to chase us with

all his might

I will pretend to be trapped

in a canyon

Mendu will think they can butcher us

so they will be reckless

Commander-in-chief will be

in ambush behind them

And as soon as the enemy

turns around

please release smoke, I will turn

and lead my troops into the fray

so they will be attacked

from front and rear!

Good! I will give you a troop of 20,000

Commander-in-chief

Speed is of the essence,

I wish to depart tonight

Please place our supplies

at the canyon for our use

We will go according to this plan

Yes, sir!

Thank you, sir!

I am General Hua Mulan

of the Great Wei Nation

Has your Commander-in-chief

became a shrinking turtle

and sent a peon like you to your death?

This is the territory

of the Great Wei Nation.

Please leave!

But I like your territory!

Remember, Wei people are sheep

we Rouran are wolves!

Steady!

We have Han, Shi, Xianbei

and Jiang men,

but no sheep!

They have 20,000 men.

I'll give you 40,000 men

and 4 hours. Destroy them!

Yes, sir!

Hail! Hail!

Standing archers!

Shoot!

Kill!

Lift!

Stop!

Danyu! Wei General Hua Mulan

defeated us!

What "defeated"?
