For such a slow and autoscrolling level, I'm quite proud of how many timesaves I managed to find. My original time I thought was really solid was 2:34, but some more tests brought it down to this.
---
0:00 - this level is 85% waiting for messages to pass. There are a lot of messages, and the final target of the level doesn't appear until a lot of dialogue and other event message boxes. So, right from the start, I begin waiting out dialogue inside the menu.
The first objective of the level is to defeat at least 5 out of 6 enemy officers in the area to have them retreat. At first I thought you had to defeat all 6, but it turns out just 5 is enough. Only defeating 5 is faster since you skip one message box this way!
Three of these officers have one unique line of dialogue, but if you're fast, you can defeat them before they get a chance to say anything. So that's another time save, worth at least 10 seconds.
I took Wang Yuanji for this level since she has very fast attacks and long reach too.
0:34 - I leave the officer to the south of the large area alive since he does not have any dialogue, and skipping him allows me to make a beeline to the three officers who do have dialogue. (To note, these officers are Wishbone, Guo Tu and Hammerjaw.)
1:25 - now you have to wait a while for the Seimei Abe army to become hostile.
2:08 - once they do become hostile, you then have to defeat all of the officers on the map.
2:48 - once the gates are open, defeating the four officers in the north-west corner of the map fast enough prevents a bit of dialogue from happening. So that's a third time save I found for the level.
3:30 - after everyone is down, you got to get to the south-east corner of the map and get ready for Yuan Shao's return.
4:28 - defeating Yuan Shao the instant he appears would yield some more timesave here, but it can be hard to do since he spawns with a large enemy group and sometimes remains invisible for a while.
Other than the slightly sub-optimal Yuan Shao kill, this run might be technically "perfect" since, as mentioned, the level basically functions like an autoscroller that is tied to the speed of the dialogue messages, and I don't think I did any mistakes with the dialogue skipping.
