chapter 343 Pit One Against A Hundred
(in chapter 120 I didn’t translate it literally like this, but now that Mr. Chen decides to fulfill that reader expectation, I might go back and change it so they match… T_T)
[?]: Two more are heading up!
[?]: Army Overseer, we’re about to get overrun!
(“here soon will be attack breached”)
[Xiahou Yuan]: Get those men at rest to come to our aid!
[?]: But… but they haven’t slept in days. They’re exhausted!
[XHY]: Who could sleep when the camp’s almost taken?
[?]: Overseer, the men are in protest, what if they…
[XHY]: We’ve got no choice. It’s almost over, just hang on!
[?]: Overseer, the main… main camp…
They’ve entered the camp!
{fire sfx: foom~}
[?]: Don’t let them get close. Hold them off!
[?]: Guard the gates!
[?]: Guard the gates!
[?]: Break’s over.
[?]: All of you go guard the gates. Hurry!
[?]: Ha, all gone.
(“…all left”)
{sfx: cha~}
[?]: The soldiers here have been sent away. Attack!
[?]: Men of Taiping!? Where did they come from?
[?]: Leave this place to me. You guys head for the inner grounds!
KILL~
[?]: The main force of the Cao army is guarding the camp. I’m in charge of the barracks.
[?]: Bet they never expected a mole to last this long.
(referring to himself)
[?]: Now that the camp is full of protest, your arrival will strike a chord with those men.
(“now inside camp complaints nonstop, mutineers many, you (pl) coming will definitely chime in easily“)
[?]: Resentment leads to revolt. Such is the foresight of the Chief Controller.
[?]: After months of digging we’re finally seeing daylight.

[?]: Gotta get past me first.
{sfx: cha~}
[Xiahou Dun]: You stinking brat dug your own grave!

[XHD]: Then come and get me!

[?]: Master Hong, another troop’s here!
[Cao Hong]: Damnit where did they come from?
[?]: Master Hong, Li Chao’s troop hasn’t arrived yet!
Li Chao!? That means…
{fire sfx: foom~}
The rations have been burned. Li Chao has mutinied!
The enemy has entered the camp.
The Yuan army will flood in like sea water!
[CH]: Brothers, prepare to give this country your all-
[CH]: every man take on a hundred!
(“use one hold-off hundred”)
[Guo Jia]: One against a hundred.
[?]: Very good.
[GJ]: First shixiong,
(“shixiong” ~ “male upperclassman”)
{sfx: pa}
[GJ]: I’m about to make my first move!
(“my first move is about to start”)
The more sublime the theme of a song is, the fewer people would be able to follow along.
