The three members of the Shanhai Alliance naturally gathered together.
Ouyang Shuo asked Bai Hua why she would choose Huo Qubing's line. After all, traveling thousands of miles was a very arduous journey.
Hence, when he saw Bai Hua in Daijun, Ouyang Shuo was extremely surprised.
"That's because Huo Qubing is handsome!"
Bai Hua's reply could not hide the fact that she was a star struck fool.
"...."
Black lines covered Ouyang Shuo's forehead. What kind of stupid reason was that!
Speaking of which, when the show Haney Great Emperor was broadcasted, the Huo Qubing actor had dazzled millions of girls. Who knew that Bai Hua had also been poisoned.
"Big sis, let's stop messing around, can we?" Ouyang Shuo felt conflicted.
"F** you." Bai Hua would not act courteous toward Ouyang Shuo. She punched him lightly and smiled, as she explained, “I'll stay here and see if there are any branch quests. I will leave the real expedition to Zhang Liao."
"That's more like it." Ouyang Shuo let out a sigh of relief.
At that very moment, the person in charge of the camp gathered the various Lords for a meeting.
For the Battle of Beimo, Gaia did not even choose a player representative, dragging everyone into the meeting.
In the barracks, Ouyang Shuo saw the main general.
This person was not the famous Champion Lord General Huo Qubing. Instead, it was a nameless general.
"What's happening, where's the Champion Lord?"
This made everyone who wanted to witness the glory of Huo Qubing extremely disappointed.
Amongst which, there was naturally a love sick girl.
"Everyone, please calm down." The main general of the barracks knew that he was a placeholder, so he explained, “The General has already led the troops out."
The camp was thrown into an uproar.
"He has already set out on the expedition? Then what about us?" Some Lords asked.
"The current barracks is only the logistics supply of the army. All of you can grab some resources for now. Tomorrow morning, you will lead your troops into the desert and chase after him."
Immediately, the soldiers carried maps and passed them to the various Lords.
"What you all are receiving is the abbreviated drawing of the troop movement plan." The main general explained.
When Ouyang Shuo took it and had a look, he frowned.
"This really is too simple!"
The entire map was made of goat leather, and only it had a few squiggly lines that depicted the movement plan of the troops from Daiqun to Khentii Mountain.
As for the water sources, supply points, and where the Xiongnu tribes were located, there was no information regarding those things at all.
Ouyang Shuo even felt doubtful about smoothly crossing the desert, let alone reaching the mountains.
"Gaia god. Are you hell bent on making us Lords unable to recruit Huo Qubing?"
Ouyang Shuo could not help but complain in his heart.
The other Lords were also extremely unhappy when they saw the so-called troop movement plan.
They were only at the first step of the recruitment quest, yet they had handed everyone a tough problem already. Those Lords who had held hopes of getting lucky instantly regretted it.
It was apparent that the difficulty of this quest had far exceeded their expectations.
Before the battle, they had wanted to lead their troops to follow the main army.
Who knew that Gaia would actually toss out such cards without a basis of normal logic.
Li Guang was an old general that had faced off against Xiongnu for an incredibly long time. Even so, he could get lost in the desert.
With that, one could see the treacherous nature of the desert environment.
If the players decided to try their luck without someone guiding the way, they would most likely end up with a terrible outcome.
Taking a step back, even if they walked out of the desert, how would they find Huo Qubing and his men on the vast grasslands?
One must know that Huo Qubing's troops were famous for their mobility and flexibility. Even the Xiongnu people could not catch them, so how could the Lords do so?
Furthermore, they had already set off three days ago.
To chase up to them was an impossible task.
The scary part was that they might not find the Han Army main force. Instead, they might bump into the Xiongnu tribes.
Just thinking about it, their futures looked bleak.
Some of the Lords already had the intentions of giving up.
"This is such a scam!" some of the Lords grumbled.
The main general of the barracks did not care, and he announced the end of the meeting.
The Lords were helpless; they could only shake their heads and leave.
……
Once they had walked out of the tent, Bai Hua asked, “Wuyi, what are your thoughts?"
Before Ouyang Shuo replied, Xunlong Dianxue took the opportunity, "Gaia would not give us a baseless quest. We only have no idea because we have not found the clues for the quest yet."
As expected from the quest maniac, his understanding of quests were extremely accurate.
Even Bai Hua could not help but nod her head when she heard these words.
"Then where do you think the clues will be?" Bai Hua asked.
"The barracks!"
Xunlong Dianxue was exceedingly confident.
"Oh, why so?" Bai Hua was curious.
Xunlong Dianxue pointed at the tents and smiled, “Daijun or the barracks is the main camp of Huo Qubing's troops and also the core of the logistics. This is the only place where we can come into contact with, so there's not much chance that the clue will jump out of this boundary."
"Is there a chance that it's within the city?" Bai Hua stated her own thoughts.
"I would not exclude that possibility."
Xunlong Dianxue did not wildly come to conclusions.
"It seems like we need to split up and act." Ouyang Shuo cut in at the appropriate time.
In truth, Ouyang Shuo's heart was not here at the moment.
In the camp, he had paid special attention to Sha Pojun and the others.
Who knew that he would actually manage to notice something out of the ordinary.
Ouyang Shuo noticed that when the other Lords were crestfallen, Sha Pojun had broken out into a smirk.
Although it was a momentary change, it could not escape Ouyang Shuo's eyes.
Evidently, he was not a Lord that could not keep his emotions in check.
Compared to the shrewd Di Chen and Zhan Lang, Sha Pojun was unable to keep his happiness to himself.
It seemed like the Yanhuang Alliance, or at least Sha Pojun, had obtained some internal information about this battle beforehand.
This was also the advantage of a strong family, something that Ouyang Shuo was helpless against.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo was more inclined to believe that Sha Pojun himself had obtained some relevant intel.
If not, the Yanhuang Alliance would have planned even harder and schemed even more for this battle. However, in the end, only three of them chose this line.
"Hmm, this is really interesting!"
Ouyang Shuo's fighting spirit was ignited.
However, he did not raise this finding with Bai Hua and Xunlong Dianxue.
No matter what, finding the clue was the most important mission right now.
Bai Hua prepared to head into the city, while Xunlong Dianxue would search the barracks.
As for Ouyang Shuo, he did not go anywhere. He just headed straight for the logistics point. He wanted to understand what resources and items the Han Army had provided.
Apart from that, he also needed to be clear about how to use the 500 battle resource points.
Based on the general’s words, all of the players could obtain supplies.
The one in charge was naturally the grain officer. He was around thirty years old, and he was really fat with a huge belly that almost tore his uniform.
In front of the storehouse, there were many Lords who had come over to make inquiries.
Ouyang Shuo did not rush. He just stood to the side, patiently waiting.
Through his observations, Ouyang Shuo understood many matters.
Normal Lords without battle resource points could only obtain a one time resource supply pack limited to three thousand people.
Based on the grain officer’s words, do not even think about obtaining an extra grain of rice.
The grain pack received would only include basic resources such as biscuits and forage. At most, one could obtain some roughly made bolts and arrows.
They would not even have a chance to see proper equipment.
Those Lords that coveted small advantages and did not bring any resources all broke out into tears. They had hoped that the situation would be like the previous battle maps.
Was Gaia trying to force all the Lords into a dead end?
Ouyang Shuo waited for the Lords to disperse. Only then did he step forward.
It was also a weird situation. The grain officer seemed really proud and confident in front of the other Lords.
However, when he saw Ouyang Shuo, his attitude seemed to change by 180 degrees, and he smiled widely like he had seen his own mother.
Smiling like that for no reason, are you hiding nefarious intentions?
Ouyang Shuo's heart instantly became wary.
He also noticed that although this grain officer looked really useless and incapable, he was actually extremely smart. Moreover, deception filled his small eyes.
Otherwise, he could not have reached the important role of grain officer.
"Lord, are you here to replenish resources?"
This grain officer bowed unctuously. Who would have guessed that he could bow so flexibly with his body size.
As they say, do not hit the smiling person's face.
No matter how wary Ouyang Shuo felt in his heart, his face did not show anything. He asked, “Sir, have you heard of battle resource points?"
Ouyang Shuo noticed that the grain officer's eyes instantly lit up.
The smile on his face became more and more flattering.
"I've heard about it, heard about it."
When Ouyang Shuo heard this reply, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"How do we exchange these battle resource points?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"Lord take a look!" Like magic, a thin booklet appeared in the hands of the grain officer. He respectfully handed it over to Ouyang Shuo, his eyes filled with yearning and greed.
That grain officer was dressed untidily, and his hands were oily.
However, the booklet was extremely clean and lacked any filth. Obviously, it was a precious item.
Ouyang Shuo bore the grossness that built up in his heart and took the booklet.
Flipping it open, his eyes instantly lit up.
"So that was where the mystery laid!"
He found a series of rare items listed in the booklet.
The first item on the list made Ouyang Shuo delighted.
‘Specific Troop Movement Plan.’
Just the name alone allowed a person to tell the incredible value of this item.
Undoubtedly, all these rare items needed battle resource points to exchange for.
However, just a single map needed a hundred battle resource points.
"Con, what a con!"
