Chapter 415 - 328. Kill back _2
At this moment, Qi Zhenzhuo no longer needed guidance, retracting the spear and thrusting out without any hesitation.

The young man on the Chunfeng Courtyard’s upper floor withdrew his gaze from the alley: "This is too boring, isn’t it? The Yulin Army truly lives up to their name as the Dandy Army, getting defeated so easily. The noble children of my Ning Dynasty are hardly fit for great tasks. We still need to recruit talents from humble origins."
Zhou Kuang thought for a moment and said: "Sir, there are also formidable characters among the noble children. Hu Junxian from the Guyuan Border Army, Yangyang of the Longevity Army, the eldest son of the Qi family, and the eldest son from the second branch of the Chen family, all are powerful figures. Once these people become formidable, with favorable circumstances, innate talent, backed by noble family resources, they truly can’t be compared to the sons of humble families."
The young man sighed deeply: "But they won’t be used by me."
This remark seemed to contain deep meaning, and Zhou Kuang dared not reply.
The young man smiled and changed the subject: "Do you think whether these Yulin Army have been on the battlefield makes such a big difference?"
"Sir, an old soldier is worth four new recruits, this isn’t an exaggeration, but rather an unspoken truth among commanders," Zhou Kuang recalled: "The first time I went out of Chongli Pass, my legs were shaking. When I killed my first person, I cut open his stomach, and his intestines spilled all over the ground. That day, I vomited intermittently for four hours, and at night I dreamed of those intestines all over the ground, waking up to vomit once more. Before going into battle, all I could think about was making achievements, but when I saw so much blood, I was scared out of my wits, just wanting to find a place to hide, or smear some blood on my face and lie down, waiting for the battle to end."
The young man, amused, said: "Even the top man of the Five Armies Camp has times of fear?"
Zhou Kuang sat on a small chair, watching the red clay stove in front of him, self-mockingly said: "Scared? Of course, I was scared. With blood everywhere, heads and short limbs all over the place, anyone would be scared. Who is born a natural killer?"
