Reborn as Liu Hong: Building a Divine Great Han Empire

Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.

Fate ha...

Chapter 240 Dong Zhuo was so envious he cried.

After Lü Bu finished his training, everyone returned to the main tent.

Originally, the generals only knew that Lü Bu was exceptionally brave, but they didn't have a clear understanding of his abilities.

It wasn't until Lü Bu wielded his halberd and unleashed the Thirteen Forms of the Overlord that they truly realized the gap between themselves and Lü Bu. In a one-on-one fight, probably no one could last ten rounds against Lü Bu.

Dong Zhuo, still feeling lingering fear, glanced at Lü Bu and the halberd in his hand.

Seemingly sensing something, Lü Bu also looked at Dong Zhuo, then raised an eyebrow, gesturing for Dong Zhuo to look at the blade of his halberd. It seemed he was saying: If you dare let Lü Zhen call you godfather again, then I'll let you taste whether this halberd is sharp or not.

"Uh~"

Seeing Lü Bu's expression, Dong Zhuo seemed to understand what Lü Bu meant. He then grinned and chuckled at Lü Bu, indicating that he would not dare to do it again.

After all, Lu Bu's halberd now carries the title of being bestowed by the emperor, and Dong Zhuo is truly afraid of it.

Just as Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo were exchanging thoughts, Jian Shuo brought a specially made long sword to Dong Zhuo.

Jian Shuo laughed and said, "His Majesty said: Dong Zhuo of Xiliang is a generous and loyal man, and is exceptionally brave. Knowing that you are skilled with a long sword, he specially ordered Marquis Moyang to forge this precious sword for General Dong."

"Zhuo, I kowtow in gratitude to Your Majesty for your divine grace!!"

With an excited expression, Dong Zhuo reached out his trembling hands and took the precious sword from Jian Shuo's hands. He then held the sword up and bowed towards Luoyang.

Amidst the envious gazes of everyone in the tent, Dong Zhuo gripped the exquisite hilt of his sword, and with a clang, the precious blade was drawn from its sheath.

The knife is approximately 90 centimeters long in total, with the blade itself being about 75 centimeters long and 2.5 centimeters wide.

Its blade is straight with a slight curve at the tip and a sharp edge on the back of the tip, its overall shape resembling the feathers of a wild goose.

The blade radiates a chilling light, as if forged from cold iron, and its edge is incredibly sharp. Just looking at it sends a chill down your spine.

This sword was commissioned by Liu Hong to be made in the style of the goose feather sword of later generations, and he specially selected a high-quality one to send to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo, unable to resist the urge, demonstrated his swordsmanship in front of everyone.

When Dong Zhuo demonstrated it, he felt that this sword was much smoother and more convenient to use in slashing, chopping, thrusting, and stabbing than the ring-pommel sword commonly used in the army.

Moreover, it is even more lethal when the two armies clash in close combat, which is extremely suitable for someone like me who always likes to be at the forefront.

At this moment, everyone in the tent looked at Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu with envy, but that was all they felt.

After all, Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu had some real military achievements, so it was only right that they received rewards from the emperor.

At this moment, the generals also felt a glimmer of hope, hoping to go into battle and kill the enemy, and then be known by His Majesty, and like Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo, receive His Majesty's reward.

"Open the box!!"

Looking at the generals in the tent, Jian Shuo smiled slightly and then ordered the soldiers of the Imperial Guard to open the wooden boxes that had been carried in earlier.

As the wooden crate was opened, sets of gleaming golden "bright armor" came into view.

"What kind of magical armor is this...?"

At this moment, everyone inside the tent stared intently at the magnificent armor in the wooden box, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Then Jian Shuo took out the most magnificent and dazzling set of armor and came to Zhang Huan.

"General Zhang, this armor is called (Bright Light Armor). It was meticulously crafted by the Imperial Workshop at His Majesty's behest. This particular set was custom-made for you by His Majesty. Why don't you give it a try?"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhang Huan nodded and said "good" three times. His eyes gleamed as he reached out and stroked the smooth, mirror-like scales of the armor in front of him, his expression showing considerable excitement.

"Change my armor!!"

As soon as Zhang Huan finished speaking, Lü Bu and Gao Shun stepped forward and helped Zhang Huan put on the Bright Armor.

"Tsk tsk tsk, gorgeous and dazzling, majestic and domineering, yet it does not lose its protective function. It is truly a top-grade treasure armor!"

After changing into his armor, Zhang Huan looked himself up and down and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Great! This is really good stuff!"

"Hmm, I've been a soldier my whole life, and this is the first time I've seen such beautiful yet safe armor!"

The generals inside the tent looked at Zhang Huan, who was wearing bright armor, and they all praised him.

"His Majesty said that all of you generals are rare talents of our Great Han Dynasty and should not be harmed. That is why he asked me to bring you these armors for protection."

"We kowtow in gratitude to Your Majesty for Your divine grace!"

Upon hearing Jian Shuo's words, all the generals were delighted and expressed their gratitude.

"Distribute these to all the generals, one set for each!"

"promise!"

As Jian Shuo finished speaking, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard distributed the gleaming armor to each of them.

After receiving the armor, everyone eagerly took off their original armor and put on the Bright Light Armor bestowed by the Emperor.

For a moment, the entire tent shimmered with golden light.

But Dong Zhuo stood there, looking bitterly at the armor in his hand, and did not make a move.

"Hey? Zhongying, why aren't you dressed?"

"Yes, Zhongying, look how beautiful this armor is! Come, come, let us help you put it on!"

After several officers who were on good terms with Dong Zhuo changed their armor, they noticed something was wrong with Dong Zhuo. They talked as they came to Dong Zhuo's side, wanting to help him change his armor.

"Oh no... no need, I'll change it myself when I get back!!"

Dong Zhuo quickly took two steps back and declined everyone's kindness.
