Chapter 792 - 792 The Cause of the Great War
792 The Cause of the Great War
“There are four General’s Mansions in General Valley. Feng, Hua, Xue, and Yue. Feng is General Feng Qinglin, Hua is General Hua Mulan, Xue is General Xue Manshan, and Yue is General Yue Guan. I’ve already met General Hua once before, and now I’ve met the three of you. Now that I’ve met all four generals, all of you are indeed extraordinary!”
Li Xiang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded.
“Fellow Li’s reputation is much greater than us boorish fellows.” Yue Guan smiled.
Li Xiang didn’t say anything. If he really believed that they were boorish, then he would be too stupid. To be able to make a name for themselves with the name of the four great General’s Mansions in this chaotic world, it was absolutely impossible for a boor to do it.
Even if the three people beside him were not cunning old foxes, they would be adult foxes.
One could even tell that they were extraordinary just from their surnames.
Regardless of whether it was the surname Xue or Yue, they were not ordinary surnames. No matter which world it was, they were extremely rare.
Rare meant honorable and might also mean special.
According to Li Xiang’s understanding, the surname Yue was very rare.
According to the records, it seemed that the royal family of the Qiang clan was the Yue clan. They worshiped the moon and had a long history. They were a minority who lived by nomads. They were a tribe that rode on horses and were extremely skilled in archery. Among the major human race, they could be said to be outstanding and were born with the talent of riding and shooting.
When the Qiang clan was still powerful, their archers could terrify the enemies in the surrounding areas.
General Yue’s name was Yue Guan. If he said that he had nothing to do with the Qiang clan, he would not believe it. There were too many coincidences, and they were no longer coincidences.
If he really was from the Yue royal family of the Qiang clan, he was definitely not a simple person.
There was also the surname Xue. The number of clans with the surname Xue could be counted with one’s fingers, and it was so rare that it was difficult to find one in history. However, Xue Manshan in front of him not only had hair as white as snow, but his body also had an icy aura. This was the aura that came from his bloodline.
From his name, Li Xiang had some guesses.
According to the unofficial records, there was a strange country called the Snow Kingdom. The Snow Kingdom had been very mysterious in history. There were almost no records of how long it had existed and how it had gone extinct. It was rumored that the people of the Snow Kingdom were born with abilities that were different from ordinary people.
However, no one could say for sure what ability it was.
“Could it be the descendants of the Yue royal family and the mysterious Snow Kingdom?” A thought appeared in Li Xiang’s mind.
These were all his speculations. Whether they were true or not would still require time to verify. Of course, these had little to do with him. They were purely his instinctive speculations.
“The two generals are too kind! This is just because I had the opportunity to buy various materials from the Kingdom of Dawn and earn some profit from the price difference. What reputation is there to speak of? It can’t be compared to the boundless merit of you generals protecting millions of civilians.”
Li Xiang continued, “No matter who it is, as long as they have enough money and goods, I’ll trade with them. I’m honest in my business. If the two generals are willing to trade for any treasures, I would naturally be more than happy to do so.”
“For military supplies, I want those weapons. Bone Battle Bows, especially those Runic Arrows, and Bone Arrows, I want enough for three hundred thousand soldiers.”
Yue Guan looked at Li Xiang and went straight to the point.
The number of Bone Battle Bows and arrows that were enough to arm an army of 300,000 was definitely a shocking number.
One should know that the Bone Battle Bow, or the Skeleton Battle Bow, costs 100 Star Coins. For 300,000 sets, and just the battle bows alone would cost an astronomical figure of 30 million Star Coins.
This did not include the Runic Arrows and other resources.
“I want all kinds of military supplies!” Xue Manshan said.
Although he didn’t say the exact number, it was definitely a big deal judging from Yue Guan’s spending.
“Although I’m just a passerby in the Golden Desert, your sudden need for such a large amount of military supplies has aroused my curiosity. I don’t know what kind of enemy you will face! Of course, I’m just a little curious. If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to answer.” Li Xiang thought about it and asked directly.
Feng Qinglin and the other two looked at each other with a hint of solemness in their eyes. The atmosphere became silent.
“The Undead Army is coming!” Feng Qinglin muttered to himself for a moment before speaking.
“Undead Army? The Pharaoh is about to wake up?” When Li Xiang heard this, he couldn’t help but reveal a trace of shock.
According to his understanding, the Undead Army should be related to the Pharaoh, and if the Pharaoh were to wake up, the Undead Army would definitely appear.
However, according to logic, since the Pharaoh had already fallen into a deep sleep, there was a high possibility that he had been sealed by the heavenly Dao of the Myriad World Continent. He should still be in the seal and would not be able to wake up easily. Once he woke up, it would mean that the seal of the heavenly Dao had disappeared.
If that were the case, the Pharaoh would not be the only one waking up. By then, there would really be a group of demons running wild.
“It’s only been two years. Could it be that the seal has dissipated so quickly? That’s impossible!”
Li Xiang furrowed his brows in deep thought, and his heart was filled with disbelief.
The seal of the heavenly Dao was no joke. He absolutely did not believe that it would only be sealed for one or two years.
“Not the Pharaoh, but the priest under the Pharaoh. Legend has it that the high priest betrayed the Pharaoh and was executed and turned into a mummy. He resurrected.” Feng Qinglin said in a deep voice.
“High Priest? Even if he was resurrected, he should be looking for the Pharaoh. Why would he make you all so wary?” Li Xiang asked, puzzled.
Regardless of what kind of high priest it was, it was too strange for it to come to General Valley after being resurrected.
The High Priest should have been looking for the Pharaoh after his resurrection. Even if he did not look for the Pharaoh, he should have been looking for a place to cultivate and become stronger. Why was he targeting General Valley?
However, Feng Qinglin and the others were very certain that the High Priest would definitely come to the General Valley.
“Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong!”
Li Xiang suddenly had an idea and said, “The High Priest’s target is not you, but the General Valley. It’s the army’s baleful aura contained in the ancient battlefield below the General Valley! He wants to make use of this land of the army’s baleful aura to cultivate and become stronger. He wants to wake up the army that is sleeping on the ancient battlefield!”
The land of the army’s baleful aura was also the most terrifying burial ground for soldiers in the world.
Countless soldiers who had died in battle were buried here. With the High Priest’s strength, once he occupied the General Valley, he could easily summon a terrifying Undead Army. They were not ordinary undead, but ten times stronger than ordinary undead.
