As long as the Emperor is powerless, the land will remain in chaos, and as long as the land remain in chaos, people will die. For the chaos to end, I need to take action, but I cannot do it alone.
I, for example, cannot trust the ruler of the Western Beige Kingdom, Bian Xi. For he is a former Yellow Turban, and it is the Yellow Turbans that has brought us to this mess.
I cannot trust the message of Itnetlolor. He wants me to sign an agreement dividing China up into fiefdoms? I heard rumors of his master, Bokahilla, and the crimes she has committed on the battlefield. This is a mockery of honor, to work alongside Bokahilla.
But I can trust Xiahou En. I was asked by villagers to save them from wolves. While arriving there, I found Xiahou En, being ambushed by bandits. Together, we fought off the bandits, and we became fast friends.
I sent a message to Itnetlolor: "I will make a counter-offer. Instead of waiting for this 'epic battle' at the end, let have it at the beginning. Me versus your lord. Whoever wins...must surrender to the other side."
I therefore came up with a cunning plan. Xiahou En and I would work together to launch a rebellion against the cruel Bokahilla, by marching to her main base and taking her out. Once Bokahilla's rule ends, her officers would be free for the taking. Once I become the new King of the Western Beige Kingdom, I will then attempt to crush Bian Xi, and then remove all threats to the Han Dynasty.
The battle was heavily against us, for we were outnumbered. But we had strong morale, strong tactics, and the support of Fate. but we marched forward, I attacking several troops, and Xiahou En doing mop-up operations. Finally, we marched to the main base. Itnetlolor, paranoid of the might of our army, fled to the hills. Meanwhile, Xiahou En was quickly losing health, and finally had to withdraw from the main base. Finally, it was down to me...and Bokahilla. "Bring it on", she said.
I launched a glorious attack, but she dodged it. She then counterattacked, and I, weakened by the assault on her main base, collapsed. Bokahilla has won.
I realized that even if the rumors of Bokahilla's sins are true, she is still too powerful to be challenged directly. I also realize that, unlike Bokahilla, I have a sense of honor. So I reluctantly signed up for her army.
(I actually have the video for the two battles, but I need to upload them, and try to put some commentary. I dislike recording the video, would the actual AAR be fine.)
EDIT: Sod it. I can't upload videos, meaning that I either have to be very good at describing what happens...or I'm ending this LP. Hm. Any suggestions for how to improve the previous text?
