After a brief discussion, Bai Xiaowen grabbed a cavalryman who looked like a captain and asked, "How far are we from Ye City?"
Ye City was the capital of Ji Province and also the residence of the Yuan Family's general.
The cavalryman replied, "Provincial Governor, we've already traveled half the distance. If we're not in a hurry and spend the night in the wilderness, we can reach Ye City by noon tomorrow. But … "
Bai Xiaowen understood what he meant and said, "Stop hemming and hawing. But what? Just say it. "
The captain hurriedly said, "Because the governor suddenly fell ill, we're traveling slowly. It's been more than a day since we left Beiping. If we're any slower, we might miss the time. "
Bai Xiaowen knew that the three brothers of the Yuan Family had agreed to visit their parents on the fifth day of every three months. Yuan Xi had already calculated the time when he set off. He wouldn't arrive too early or too late.
Why didn't he go a few days earlier? Yuan Xi had his own considerations. As the second son of the Yuan Family, Yuan Xi had no hope of inheriting Yuan Shao's position as general. He didn't want to attract attention and was neutral in everything he did to prevent his two powerful brothers from suspecting him.
In short, he was willing to be a salted fish.
He had calculated the time well, but who knew that he would fall ill and faint on the way?
Bai Xiaowen nodded and asked, "How long will it take if we travel at full speed?"
The captain thought for a while and said, "With the speed of the cavalrymen, we can arrive tonight. But it will be difficult for the carriages behind us to keep up. "
"It's okay."
Bai Xiaowen already had a plan in mind. "I'll take a few capable men to Ye City first. You wait for the carriages and come back later."
The carriages were transporting the gifts Yuan Xi prepared. They were mainly leather goods and some gold, silver, and jewelry. The value of these gifts was neither high nor low. They were inherited from Yuan Xi's way of being neutral.
"But the Provincial Governor has just recovered from his illness …"
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand to stop the cavalryman's concern. While talking with the cavalryman, he received a notification from the Spiritual Realm.
"Main Mission: [Prepare the Army] Activated."
[Mission Objective: Recruit an army of your own!]
[Mission Difficulty: A +]
[Mission Time Limit: 15 days]
[Mission Reward: Unknown]
There were further hints at the end.
"Note: Combat power will be used as a standard to measure your mission completion."
"Warning: Your army's combat power must not be lower than 5000. Otherwise, you will fail the main mission. "
Bai Xiaowen had no time to complain.
In order to save time, he arranged for Qiao Rui and Han Xu to escort the carriage, while he himself led Li Shuyi and Cecilia. He also led ten elite riders and rushed to Ye City at full speed.
On the way, Bai Xiaowen inquired about the standards of "Combat Strength Data."
The standard given by the Spirit Realm's laws was very simple.
A standard Advanced Soldier had a combat power value of 5-8 points.
Elite soldiers had three times the combat power of the same level.
Bai Xiaowen did some calculations.
A new recruit who had just joined the army, the standard template was only 5 points of combat strength. In other words, Bai Xiaowen had to recruit at least 1000 ordinary soldiers to complete the main mission.
This number was an impossible task for ordinary people. However, for Youzhou's Provincial Governor, Yuan Xi, it was not difficult.
The difficult part was the restriction. It had to be an army that "belonged to him"! In other words, only an army that his cheap father, Yuan Shao, could not mobilize could count.
Bai Xiaowen deliberately inquired about the meaning of "belonged to him". He had a premonition that there was a trap.
He checked. Sure enough!
The Youzhou army was basically Yuan Shao's subordinates. Through these generals, he spent Youzhou's tax money and food to recruit soldiers. No matter how many soldiers he recruited, they would not belong to Bai Xiaowen. In essence, they were still Yuan Shao's army.
Only the money and food that Bai Xiaowen obtained himself and the soldiers that he recruited himself would belong to him!
The concept of soldiers in the Three Kingdoms era was also very simple. As a soldier, they ate food and worked under the command of whoever they served.
In this way, it would not be so easy to recruit 1000 ordinary soldiers with his own strength.
Moreover, 5000 combat power was only the minimum standard of the spiritual realm. Only when the combat power exceeded 5000 would there be a completion rating.
"This completion rating is very important. It is related to whether the second main mission can be activated!"
Bai Xiaowen recalled his first adventure in the Cain Plane. He entered as the White Stone Overlord, and the first main mission was also to recruit soldiers. In the end, he recruited a group of soldiers that were not weaker than the other Overlords. Only then did he obtain the qualifications to continue participating in the war at the Black Rock Defense Line. In other words, he was qualified to continue the second main mission.
Bai Xiaowen estimated that in the extremely difficult Three Kingdoms world, he would have to recruit at least a few thousand soldiers with a combat power of more than 10000 to be qualified to activate the next stage of the main mission.
"This is asking me to cause trouble."
Bai Xiaowen thought silently as he galloped on his horse.
However, the Awakened were not afraid of causing trouble. They were only afraid of having nothing to do. As long as one's thinking was not slippery, there would always be more solutions than difficulties!
Ten cavalrymen followed closely behind him. Due to their strong physical fitness, they could withstand the north wind and snow. Such cavalrymen could travel thousands of miles in a day. They were much faster than ordinary infantry.
The spiritual realm warhorses were also many times stronger than the ordinary horses of the Christian era. Whether it was speed or endurance, they were incomparable.
Of course, after galloping for a while, they still had to stop to rest their horses. Otherwise, the spiritual realm warhorses would not be able to withstand it.
After the main mission refreshed, the spiritual realm's rules prompted him again.
"Based on your spiritual realm ticket prefix: Challenge, and your current identity, a hero challenge mission has been generated."
"Hero side mission: [Mystery in the Box] activated."
"Mission objective: Go to Xiangping City and find a professional who can unlock the mysterious artifact: Dragon Golden Box."
"Mission difficulty: A"
"Mission duration: None (equivalent to the remaining time you stay in the Three Kingdoms world)"
"Mission reward: Unknown"
After Bai Xiaowen shared with him, Li Shuyi was a little confused.
"The Dragon Golden Box is our spoils of war. The spiritual realm's rules generated a challenge mission based on the ticket prefix. How can the Dragon Golden Box be involved? Is the spiritual realm's rules lazy? We have lost a hero mission for no reason. It's a great loss. "
According to Li Shuyi's understanding, the Dragon Golden Box was a special item. Bai Xiaowen would be able to uncover its mission line sooner or later. The spiritual realm's rules generated a hero level challenge mission based on the challenge prefix. It should be independent.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Don't worry too much. This prefix did contribute something. At least it gave us clues about the Dragon Golden Box. We can find it in Xiangping City. Otherwise, we might not be able to find the clues to unlock it by ourselves. Don't forget that Yang Guang never understood the mystery of this thing. "
