Chapter 160
Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto
"Kata-kata, kata-kata!!!" That is the sound of five people running toward the prison in Wancheng city. Though 3,000 troops are not much to be counted for but Liu Mang must either subjugate them or destroy them completely. However, he did not bring his Urban Army with him because they are wounded and exhausted. So, in order for those 3,000 troops not to suspect anything at all, Liu Mang just bring himself, Huang Zhong, Huang Xu, Liu Kai and Liu Neng.
Finally, they arrived at the prison. Liu Mang is in awe when looking at this prison. In Wancheng city, this prison is not only used as a prison but also as a warehouse and it served as the main point of offensive and defensive operations. A few years ago, when Sun Ce managed to break down Wancheng city’s main gate, the entire Lu clan was besieged here. Lu Kang himself did not admit defeat even after his provisions and food already run out and almost decimated Lu clan because of his stubbornness.
Looking again this prison. The construction is truly reliable. It uses blue stone as the base. Its pillar also was built with 1,000 years old solid and strong teak wood. Actually, this prison in Wancheng city is used for armory and definitely not the place to detain a criminal. And because he obtained 3,000 POW, therefore, Liu Neng quickly moved out all of weapons and armors and put all those Black Flags inside the prison.
Liu Mang is actually a little scared entering this prison, because this is prison is very dark and have no lights at all, in addition to that, no guards at all. That is because all of the prison guards were all deployed in order to defend Wancheng city and now all of them are extinguished.
"Hey, there are people come here!!!" Liu Mang and co did not yet reach the internal prison but the entire prison already seething with excitement, but how disappointed they are for the one who comes is the one who defeated them.
"So, all of you are Black Flag!!!" Liu Mang opened with his words with curious tone. Although Liu Mang had fought Black Flag before, but their armor, helmet and face mask is covering large part of face same like ninjas. Therefore Liu Mang does not recognize them, but looking at those soldiers body made Liu Mang a bit surprised. Their bodies is showing signs of healthy toned body and color. They definitely do not have the yellowish pale face that Liu Mang saw on Cheng Yu’s and Chu Jie’s bodies during Xiapi siege. One must know that being a soldier in this time and age is to eat until full and seeing these Black Flag troops stay healthy and robust, showing that Zhou clan really cherished them as their elites.
"You know who I am, right?!" Liu Mang asked.
"We know, you are the one who defeated us and killed our lord!!!" Answered 8 Black Flag troops to Liu Mang’s inquiry. This golden-armored general was able to kill their lord and was able to defeat the Black Flag with very minimal casualties; though Zhou Cheng is the one to blame for their defeat. Regarding loyalties, these Black Flags have never thought to rebel against Jiangdong's army, so right now it is up to Liu Mang’s scheme to subjugate them.
"Oh, since you know who I am, then you must know why I am here?!" Liu Mang continued his inquiry, but this time without letting any Black Flag answer, he said: "I am here to kill all of you!!!"
"Huh?!" Those Black Flag troops were suddenly confused. They thought Liu Mang wanted to subjugate them, who ever thought that Liu Mang came to their prison to kill them.
"Little lord, what are you?!" Huang Zhong, Huang Xu, and Liu Kai are all confused looking at Liu Mang’s performance because Liu Mang is not asking them to fight for them, but to kill them. Liu Neng was the only one who kept smiling, looking at Liu Mang’s performance.
Liu Mang waved his hands to stop Huang Zhong and co’s inquiries.
"Che, kill us?! HAHAHAHA!!!! You already are unable to defend this castle by yourself, why bother to killing us now?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Suddenly there came a mocking sound coming from the Black Flag. The one who made that voice was the leader of Black Flag and was now staring down at Liu Mang with a fiery rage in his eyes.
"Oh, so you know the situation too?!" Liu Mang returned his glare to this leader while sneering. Liu Mang knew that the one who responded back to him was the de facto leader and his grades are much higher than Cheng Quan or Gu Jun who managed to kill Han and Old Man Wu. So, as long as he can break this leader and make him surrender, all of the Black Flag will certainly obey him.
"Oh, I know the exact situation!!! I also know that you are defenseless now and want to ask for our hand to help!!!" The leader sneered and continued his speech "Jiangdong's army’s attack has already reached the outer city. Tomorrow, when Jiangdong Army does their last a.s.sault, it is the end of all of you!!!"
"Soooo, where do you know the news from?!" Liu Mang looked at the leader and said with teasing tone.
The leader then said "Hmph, it is should be very obvious. There are no more guards to guard us, from 400 troops down to none today. So even an idiot person should know that the situation is very bad outside!!!"
Liu Mang then teased back "Hoooo, then it is very strange indeed!!! Even without guards. 3,000 POW should have been able to breakthrough this prison by themselves. Why, the mighty tigers of Zhou clan reduced to a mere cats in this cage?! Hmmm…?" Actually when the leader came
