The attack on Morocco was still in the planning stage. The concrete implementation would have to wait until the end of the war in Yunnan at the very least, or even later.
Morocco had over three million players. It was no ordinary country.
The only thing that was beneficial to Shanhai City was that although Morocco was located on the African continent, it was only bordered to the south and east of Africa. However, these two areas were plateaus that were rarely visited by humans.
It was precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo approved Alvaro's military proposal.
…
After activating the Friendship City's teleportation array, Ouyang Shuo took out an item. It was the [Territory Auspicious Beast].
No matter how he looked at it, it looked like a summoning ball.
"System Notification: Player Say You Have No Clothes has a [Territory Lucky Beast], do you want to summon it?"
"Yes!"
Ouyang Shuo also wanted to see what kind of species the legendary auspicious beast was. According to Gaia's settings, the lucky beasts obtained by the various Lords all had local characteristics.
"Could it be Kirin?"
When it came to auspicious beasts, China's Qilin was the leader.
With a "shua" sound, the summoning ball flashed with a white light. After it landed on the ground, it turned into a small beast the size of a puppy. It lay on the ground, and its entire figure was rectangular.
It was square!
The little critter's entire body was black and white. The two pairs of dark circles under its eyes were especially conspicuous. The most peculiar thing was that there was a tuft of long hair on the top of the little beast's head. It looked a bit like a wifi signal.
"Red panda?"
Ouyang Shuo was a little dumbfounded. He moved closer to observe carefully.
The little fellow was still in its infancy, and its eyes were hazy with sleep. Only when it heard footsteps did it slowly open its eyes.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo, the little guy immediately became spirited. Striding forward with his short legs, he jumped like a rabbit with a 'plop' sound and hugged Ouyang Shuo's thigh. Looking at the situation, he didn't intend to come down.
"…"
Ouyang Shuo felt a chill down his spine.
Was this a panda or a rabbit? How could it jump so smoothly?
Ouyang Shuo lifted his leg slightly, but the little guy didn't let go and hugged him tightly, dragging him wherever he went.
"… This is the Lucky Beast? Don't you have any shame? "
Ouyang Shuo was also slightly stunned. Fortunately, he heard the sound of the system notification.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Not Have Clothes, you have obtained a territory lucky beast — — National Treasure Panda, please name the lucky beast."
Ouyang Shuo lowered his head to look at the little fellow and helplessly said, "I'll call you Qi Yi!"
System Notification: Naming successful! Friendly Reminder: The Lucky Beast is still in its infancy, please take good care of it. Please check out the Panda Rearing Technique Manual for the details. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the Summoning Orb in Ouyang Shuo's hand flashed with a white light and turned into a booklet.
"That's it?"
Ouyang Shuo was somewhat dumbfounded. One million and five hundred thousand gold coins were spent on this little fellow.
"No matter how I look at it, it feels like I've been scammed by Gaia."
At that moment, a system announcement resounded throughout the China server.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Not Have Clothes for obtaining the auspicious beast of the territory — National Treasure Panda. As the first territory to obtain an auspicious beast, Shanhai City is specially bestowed with the title of 'Home of Spirit Beasts' as an encouragement. "
…
As soon as the announcement came out, it immediately shocked thousands of fans.
There were no pandas in the China region of the game. That was understandable. Gaia couldn't design Pandas as wild monsters, right? They would be killed by Pandas' fans.
Qiyi was one of a kind in the China region.
In less than ten minutes, the Rollover Fan Club was officially established. Some players were already preparing to teleport to Shanhai City to see the pandas up close.
…
Ouyang Shuo checked the attributes of the [Home of Spirit Beasts].
[Home of Spirit Beasts]: Increases the evolution rate of the territory's spirit beasts by 25, increases the attractiveness of the territory's spirit beasts by 35, and increases the success rate of taming the territory's spirit beasts by 30.
The attributes were not bad.
In comparison, the little fellow Qiyi's attributes gave Ouyang Shuo a headache.
[Name]: Qiyi (Auspicious Beast)
[Race]: Panda
[Nickname]: Rollover, Fatty, Tuan Zi
[Level]: Juvenile
[Skills]: Climbing, Rolling, Bed Wetting, Rabbit Hopping
[Talent]: Auspicious (Randomly brings auspicious signs to the territory)
[Remarks]: The top internet celebrity in the animal world, the favorite of two-legged beasts, the leader of the Adorable Sect.
After checking the attributes, Ouyang Shuo was devastated.
What the hell were "Bed Wetting" and "Rabbit Hopping" in the Skills Column? Were they really skills? The talent [Auspicious] looked impressive, but it was a random ability that revealed all of Gaia's tricks.
Looking at the little fellow that was still clinging to his thigh, Ouyang Shuo felt helpless. He bent down to pick up Qiyi and said with a smile, "No matter what, I'll build a little home for you first."
"Howl ~ ~"
Qiyi was very intelligent and could actually understand human language. It nodded its round little head.
Pandas were very delicate and were still in the juvenile stage. If not for the game, Ouyang Shuo was not confident that he could take care of the little fellow in real life.
With the manual in hand, Ouyang Shuo carried the little fellow and walked to the back garden. Ouyang Shuo remembered that there was a small bamboo forest in the southwest corner of the back garden. It was perfect for building Qiyi's home.
Before going to the back garden, Ouyang Shuo first went to the study.
Ouyang Shuo was often not in Shanhai City, so he could not personally take care of Qiyi. Besides, building Qiyi's home required meticulous design and special arrangements.
After all, Qiyi was an auspicious beast. Perhaps one day, the little fellow would bring unexpected auspicious signs to the territory. At the very least, he could keep it as a pet.
With the heated discussion about Qiyi on the forum, Ouyang Shuo wondered if he could slowly earn back the 1.5 million gold coins he had spent on auctioning Qiyi by selling tickets.
In the quiet study, a young woman was bending over a desk. The afternoon sun shone through the window screens and adorned the woman's long black hair, giving her a different kind of beauty.
This woman was Qing Yi.
Ever since she accepted Ouyang Shuo's appointment, Qing Yi used the study as her office and handled memorials for Ouyang Shuo. Wherever Ouyang Shuo went, Qing Yi followed.
"Lord?" Qing Yi heard footsteps and raised her head. She saw Qiyi in Ouyang Shuo's arms and smiled. "What a cute little fellow. Is this the auspicious beast that the system just announced?"
"Yes."
In just a short while, Qiyi had already fallen asleep in Ouyang Shuo's arms, looking charmingly naive.
Ouyang Shuo handed the manual to Qing Yi and said with a smile, "Look for the construction department and ask them to build a small home for Qiyi in the bamboo forest in the back garden according to the manual's instructions. Also, train a few keepers to take care of Qiyi's daily life. He is now the territory's treasure. "
"Got it."
Qing Yi obviously wanted to pet Qiyi, but seeing that it had fallen asleep, she could not bear to disturb it.
Ouyang Shuo saw this and smiled. "Next time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
…
After leaving the study, Ouyang Shuo happened to meet Bing'er when he passed by the back hall.
"Big brother, what are you hugging?"
Bing'er saw Qiyi from afar. Without waiting for Ouyang Shuo's reply, she quickly walked over and was immediately captivated by Qiyi. "Is this a little panda? It's so cute! "
"It's called Qiyi. It is the auspicious beast of the territory." Ouyang Shuo smiled and introduced Qiyi to Bing'er.
Qiyi was originally sleeping in Ouyang Shuo's arms. When he smelled Bing'er's scent, he immediately opened his eyes and waved his front paws, wanting Bing'er to hug him.
"Haha ~ ~"
Bing'er could not ask for more. She hugged Qiyi as if it was a rare treasure.
Ouyang Shuo saw this and was not surprised at all. Bing'er was a terminator of spiritual beasts. Even a cute leader like Qiyi could not resist Bing'er's temptation.
From the looks of it, Bing'er was the best keeper.
Ouyang Shuo interrupted Bing'er and said, "Let's go. Bring it to the bamboo forest first."
Bing'er nodded and led the way to the back garden. As she walked, she introduced Xue'er, who was flying in the air, to Qiyi. She was also muttering the names of other spiritual beasts. They were all Bing'er's "good friends".
To the little lass, this was another playmate.
It was already five in the afternoon when Qiyi was settled.
Tomorrow, Ouyang Shuo would head to Lingxi City to supervise the battle. Early that morning, with the help of the Gaia system update, the left army led by Bai Qi sped up the pace of attacking Mengding County.
According to the current progress, it would not take more than five days for Mengding County to fall. And these five days were also the time when the allies were most likely to take action.
Especially after the shocking scene at the auction, Di Chen and company would probably speed up their operations.
Now, it all depended on who was more skilled.
How could Ouyang Shuo be absent at such a critical moment?
Fourth year of Gaia, 4th January, Lingxi City.
Just as Bai Qi said, the siege had been progressing rapidly over the past few days. They had taken down three enemy cities. There were only two cities left in front of the left army.
One was called Wenshan City and the other was Yuan Yang City.
After the two cities was [Yunnan City State]'s final fortress, Tengchong County.
Due to the stubborn resistance of the various cities in Mengding County, the left army was already exhausted before they reached Wenshan City. Not only did they suffer heavy casualties, their morale was also low.
It was not that Bai Qi's command was bad, but that the soldiers could not stand the climate in the mountains of Yunnan.
Mengding County was a typical mountainous region. The rugged roads were only one aspect, but what was more difficult was that the mountains were infested with insects and beasts. Occasionally, they would encounter miasma, swamps, and other death traps.
Apart from that, even drinking water was a huge problem.
A single mishap could cause the soldiers to have diarrhea or even diarrhea after drinking what looked like clear spring water. This would then lead to a series of complications that directly threatened the lives of the soldiers.
During the march, there were constantly people who fell ill and even died from all sorts of strange diseases.
It was a hair-raising experience.
Coupled with the constant chaos in the allied army, the soldiers could not sleep well. The supply convoys were attacked from time to time, and the supplies at the front were intermittent.
At the most dangerous moment, the army ran out of food for an entire day.
The continuous attacks, coupled with the heavy casualties during the siege, made the soldiers of the left army miserable. Even with a Divine General like Bai Qi holding down the fort, their morale continued to plummet.
Fortunately, they were finally about to make it out of this ordeal.
Looking at Wenshan City in front of them, some soldiers even cried tears of joy.
