Yang Rui had rushed to the checkpoint during the final phase of the battle to protect his side's loot. There were many advantages to sieging the city with a group of players. Their coordination was also much more flexible. However, the biggest problem was that players were much faster when it came to snatching items. This was something that NPC soldiers could not match.
Hence, Yang Rui had insisted on climbing the walls. He had also ordered Zhang Ning not to participate in the charge. Instead, he had organized a group of soldiers to prioritize picking up the Skill Books and special items dropped on the battlefield.
Yang Rui was relatively familiar with the structure of the checkpoint. The most important strategic resources were normally stored in the storeroom above the checkpoint. In addition, some weapons were stored in the side rooms. As for food and other resources, they were stored in the structure below the checkpoint. Yang Rui had learned all of this through the various checkpoints in Mountain City. Not all of them were usable.
After Yang Rui climbed up the checkpoint, he discovered that he wasn't the only one who understood the structure of the checkpoint. Trace Dragon Soul and the others had also gathered their forces to attack the main room. It was obvious that they knew the location of the storeroom as well.
However, the main room where the storeroom was located was not easy to occupy. Yang Rui noticed that a large number of players were thrown out of the room after charging at the storeroom. It turned out that there was another Commander of Dong Zhuo's Faction in the main room! Sure enough, there was another Commander Dong Zhuo in the main room. However, he alone posed no threat to Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo. In just two or three moves, Dong Zhuo was restrained and tied up again.
Yang Rui noticed that the situation in the main room had stabilized. He immediately entered the main room and stored the seven or eight items in the storeroom into his bag. In the process, he did not even have the time to check the items' contents.
"In the end, Brother Blazing Sun beat us to it!"
As soon as Yang Rui finished packing up the items in the storeroom, he noticed that Trace Dragon Soul and the others had entered the main room. Seeing that Yang Rui had cleaned up the storeroom, Dragon Soul could not help but grumble.
"Brother Traceback, your harvest is not bad. My soldiers can't compete with your players. Why don't you let Blazing Sun see your harvest? "
Yang Rui ignored the meaning behind Tracer Dragon Soul's words. Instead, he first brought up the matter of Tracer picking up the item. His expression was somewhat unwilling as he spoke. The major player organizations present were well aware of this, so Trace Dragon Soul didn't say anything more about the item. Coincidentally, the system announcement of Hangu Pass' capture had also reached both sides. Thus, the player organizations and Yang Rui immediately checked the relevant information.
However, when he traced back to Dragon Soul and the other players, he quickly focused his attention on Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo, the three famous historical generals. He scrutinized them from head to toe. In the end, he couldn't take his eyes off her!
"This … this is Gao Shun, right? Brother Blazing Sun! "
After scrutinizing them for a while, Tracer Dragon Soul anxiously asked. Seeing Yang Rui's tacit expression, Tracer Dragon Soul stared at Zhang Liao and Wu Anguo. "Then who are these two?"
In reality, Yang Rui wasn't tacitly agreeing. He just didn't want to bother with Tracer Dragon Soul and the other players. Gao Shun's identity was already known to the players, so it didn't matter. However, Tracer Dragon Soul continued to ask about Zhang Liao and Wu Anguo's identities.
"These two are special historical generals. Do you believe it? Hahahaha. "
Yang Rui definitely wouldn't reveal Zhang Liao and Wu Anguo's identities and status. Instead, he was prepared to brush this matter aside.
"Oh ~ Hahaha. So that's how it is! "
Tracer Dragon Soul laughed out loud. Since Yang Rui wasn't going to reveal it, he didn't want to ask anymore.
"Brother Blazing Sun, why don't you reveal the identities of these two generals?" Starlight Vast Sky didn't want to let it go so easily and continued to ask.
After Starlight Vast Sky's question, Yang Rui was very unhappy. He had already made it clear that he didn't want to reveal it, but this guy still wanted to find out more! After interacting with him a few times, Yang Rui had the worst impression of Starlight Vast Sky among all the players.
"Hahaha, what special historical generals? I'm just joking. If I become a historical general, won't there be a system announcement? These two are just two Intermediate Generals that I've been nurturing for a long time. Let's hurry up and clean up the battlefield. If I don't go out now, I'll probably be cleaned up by you guys. Hahaha. "
Even if Starlight Vast Sky kept asking, Yang Rui could only say that they were Intermediate Generals. Then, he left the main room of the checkpoint and ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Starlight Vast Sky felt that Yang Rui's words made sense. Moreover, if he continued to ask, he would be suspected of hindering Yang Rui from cleaning up the battlefield. Therefore, even if he didn't completely believe Yang Rui's words, he couldn't delay any longer. Only then did everyone leave the main room of the checkpoint.
However, the moment they stepped out of the door, Xue Long Hun and the others discovered the commander of Dong Zhuo's army that they had captured earlier. He had been thrown to the corner of the wall earlier. Only now was his figure exposed.
"Eh? Is this the general that brother Blazing Sun captured? "This time, Tracer Dragon Soul took the initiative to ask.
While Yang Rui ordered Gao Shun to look after the captured general, he also ordered Zhang Liao and Wu Anguo to lead the soldiers to help Zhang Ning and the others clean up the battlefield. In response to Tracer Dragon Soul's question, Yang Rui leisurely dealt with the matters at hand. Then, he turned around to face Tracer Dragon Soul and the others.
"Brother Tracer, are you interested in this person as well? I spent a lot of effort to capture this general. Seeing that he is only slightly weaker than Gao Shun, he should be at least a famous historical general."
The moment Tracer Dragon Soul asked, Yang Rui immediately thought of a possibility. If Dragon Soul and the other player organizations were willing to pay a sufficient price, Yang Rui could transfer this captive to them.
In the past, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion storyline, Yang Rui had captured several captives, including Bo Cai, Zhang Mancheng, Bu Ji, and Prince Anping. Until now, he had not been able to subdue any of them. As for Zhang Ning's surrender, it was a very special situation.
Therefore, Yang Rui roughly guessed that this general would be very difficult to subdue. Even if he kept him, he would not be of much use in a short period of time. At most, he would be able to kill him like he did with Dong Huang and earn some Achievement Points, Contribution Points, and Reputation. At the same time, he would also be able to pick up some corresponding items.
However, Yang Rui had already killed two famous historical generals before, and he was not very satisfied with the items they dropped. For example, special Neigong Mantras and Ultimate Skill Books could be used to nurture subordinates at the level of famous historical generals, but they would not be of use for a long time.
Yang Rui was still unclear about the use of the "Famous Historical General's Soul Stone", and it was probably not something Yang Rui urgently needed at the moment. Therefore, Yang Rui had the idea of transferring it to Dragon Soul and the other player organizations. He even deliberately praised the general's strength.
Yang Rui's performance clearly aroused Tracer Dragon Soul's interest. Several other player leaders, including Starlight Long Sky, also focused their attention on Dong Zhuo's general. Several pairs of eyes carefully sized him up.
"How should I address you, general?"
After Tracer Dragon Soul scrutinized him for a while, he actually directly asked the captive general about the situation. His tone was very respectful, and it was obvious that he was interested in this captive general and wanted to leave a good impression.
However, this captive general did not buy Tracer Dragon Soul's words. He turned a deaf ear to Tracer Dragon Soul's inquiry and just stood there silently without moving.
"Brother Tracer, what are you doing? Are you trying to snatch the captive from me? "Seeing that there was an awkward silence, Yang Rui deliberately asked at this time.
Seeing Tracer Dragon Soul's attitude towards the captive, Yang Rui could not help but laugh in his heart. This captive was originally captured and prepared to be slaughtered. He did not have the slightest hope of subduing him. At most, he would treat him like Dong Huang and symbolically ask if he was willing to surrender. Basically, it was equivalent to not asking at all.
"Brother Blazing Sun, let's not beat around the bush. How about we make a deal? If you give this captive to me, I am willing to exchange something or pay for it … "
After Yang Rui's words, Tracer Dragon Soul finally said that he wanted to exchange the captive. Yang Rui did not act in vain.
"This …."
Yang Rui continued to act like he was in a difficult position. Although he wasn't very experienced in his methods, he still knew how to raise the price.
"Hahaha, Brother Blazing Sun, we have been friends for a long time. Let's talk here for a while …."
Tracer Dragon Soul said as he dragged Yang Rui into the main room of the city tower. Then, he displayed his forthright and talkative personality and tirelessly worked with Yang Rui.
The deal with Yang Rui was Dragon Soul's own business. That was why Tracer Dragon Soul pulled Yang Rui into the room for a private chat. In fact, Xing Yao Zhangkong also wanted this captive. However, Xing Yao's strength was still a distance away from Dragon Soul. Therefore, since Dragon Soul wanted this captive, Xing Yao did not have a share.
