Generals' Duel II (Please Subscribe)

After the two previous defeats, the Ge Kingdom's garrison had developed fear—indeed, dread—of the Shang army. The commander of the Ge Kingdom's defenders, who had seen everything, knew he could not allow such emotions to spread. Otherwise, they would affect the army's morale and, in turn, shake the entire defensive system of the pass city.

Therefore, when he saw that the challenger below was not the burly man who had slain enemy after enemy over the past two days, but a handsome young general dressed in strange attire,

he mounted his wolf-like beast and emerged from the pass city, gripping a wolf-toothed mace.

In order to reverse their decline in one stroke, every step the commander took was accompanied by a clap of thunder in the void. Then, a winding, dazzling bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, striking beside A Lu and the commander.

In the blink of an eye, A Lu, the commander, and everything around them were enveloped by rings of lightning. Dim arcs of electricity continued to burst from the ground.

The commander looked at A Lu, swung his wolf-toothed mace, and pointed it at him. "I am Ge Ting, defending general of the Ge Kingdom. My mace does not kill nameless men. Who are you?"

"The authority of thunder?"

A Lu did not answer Ge Ting's question. He merely looked at him, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"Your surname is Ge, and they were willing to entrust such authority to you. It seems you are no ordinary man in the Ge Kingdom. Killing you should deal this pass city quite a blow."

"Kill me? That will depend on whether you have the skill!"

Lightning flared brilliantly around Ge Ting. He raised his wolf-toothed mace high, and the surrounding electrical radiance gathered around him.
