589 Chasing Huo Qubing (1/2)
”I want to lead my troops and directly teleport to the general's tent, is that possible?” Ouyang Shuo held the battle token and probingly raised his first demand.
”....”
Ouyang Shuo's exorbitant demand left the grain officer speechless. The grain officer was already incredibly shameless, but he had not expected someone with the position of a Lord would be just as shameless.
”To achieve big things, doesn’t one need to be efficient?”
The grain officer scolded Ouyang Shuo in his heard and replied, “Lord, you have to be joking!”
”Cannot do?” Ouyang Shuo was a little disappointed inside, and he continued, “Then taking a step back, can you revive all the dead Divine Martial Guards?”
To Ouyang Shuo, the three thousand Divine Martial Guards formed his biggest trump card in this battle. If they could recover their full strength, it would provide a massive benefit to his strategy of using battles to grow his forces.
The first request was just a joke.
The second request was his real goal.
After asking this question, Ouyang Shuo looked at the grain officer nervously.
The plump grain officer hesitated for a moment. It was like he was considering the pros and cons of this request. Finally, he nonchalantly replied, “Okay.”
”Phew~”
Ouyang Shuo heaved a huge sigh of relief, while he scolded out in his heart, Your Father!
He even suspected that the grain officer was purposely sent here to make a fool out of him.
Seeing the grain officer fervently look at his battle token, Ouyang Shuo grabbed it tightly and asked, “Can I ask for another small request?”
”One token, only one request,” the grain officer replied resolutely.
”Then it's okay, cancel my first request too.”
As Ouyang Shuo spoke these words, he acted like he wanted to place the battle token into his storage bag. He was certain that the grain officer had rushed over because he definitely needed to retrieve this token. Otherwise, he would not have given up so easily.
As expected, the grain officer let out a bitter smile and desperately said, “Lord, do not put me on the spot. How about this, regarding your request, I'll see if I can help?”
”Nice!” Ouyang Shuo smiled, “I want an item that the General carries along with him.”
Ouyang Shuo's request was extremely weird, and it had caught the grain officer off guard. This was not a really difficult task for the grain officer to complete.
As a special NPC, he was basically omnipotent to an extent that the players did not know the range of his powers.
However, he still could not and did not dare to break the rules Gaia had set.
”How about this? Lord, you take out your remaining 50 battle resource points, and I'll help you fulfil your request,” the grain officer said politely.
”Deal!”
Ouyang Shuo read the situation well and knew when to stop.
”The Lord is intelligent!”
After the deal was completed, the grain officer was delighted, and his fat tummy jiggled up and down.
The two foxes both smiled, as they both thought that they had pulled a fast one over the other.
After the grain officer bid him goodbye, a pair of socks that belonged to Huo Qubing suddenly appeared in Ouyang Shuo’s hands.
Even though the General was born into wealth and lived a life of riches, the smell of his socks was beyond pungent. Ouyang Shuo even suspected that this was the last prank that the grain officer was pulling on him.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and rushed into the tent, calling out, ”Little White, come out!”
Awuu!
Little White reluctantly walked out. By now, its injuries had completely healed up.
Ouyang Shuo passed the smelly pair of socks to Little White, ”Smell it, can you track it??”
Wuu!
Little White took a sniff and rolled its eyes at Ouyang Shuo in a human-like fashion.
The noses of wolves were many times better than humans. Normally, wolves or dogs had a sense of smell forty times stronger than humans. Moreover, Little White's sense of smell was more than a million times stronger than humans.
That's right, a million times; it was an uncountable figure.
Hence, to Ouyang Shuo, this sock was smelly, but to Little White, the smell nearly made it faint.
The genius general Huo Qubing also had times when he was abandoned and hated.
”Can you track it?” Ouyang Shuo asked once more.
Wuu!
Little White proudly raised its head.
”Then I'll depend on you tomorrow buddy.”
Ouyang Shuo understood what it meant and smiled, as he stroked its head.
Little White nodded, before proudly returning back to its tent.
”Huo Qubing ah, Huo Qubing, you won’t escape this time!”
Ouyang Shuo raised his head; he looked at the sky in the distance and smiled.
The next morning, the army set off once again.
The dead Divine Martial Guards were all quietly revived. However, be it the Divine Martial Guards or the captured Xiongnu soldiers, neither group paid much attention to this weird scene.
The strength of Gaia was truly something that mere mortals were unable to measure.
After a few rounds of selection, they only chose five hundred of the Xiongnu cavalry to follow them.
