Chapter 753

Afterwards.

Just one day before the plot began.

A guard brought an NPC scholar, not affiliated with Changshan Commandery, into Su Li's line of sight.

"This humble official is under the command of Captain Cao, and I have been specially ordered by the Captain to visit Governor Su!"

The NPC held a silk scroll in his hand and bowed respectfully as he entered.

"Captain Cao? Could it be Cao Cao?"

Su Li was slightly stunned, then reacted.

Cao Cao currently held the rank of Captain, so this NPC must be someone sent by him.

A few days ago, the system indicated that the second chapter of the plot had progressed to Cao Cao failing his assassination attempt on Dong Zhuo with the Seven-Star Precious Blade.

In the end, he fled back to Chen Liu, exhausted his family fortune to recruit troops and buy horses, and issued a call to arms against the traitor, summoning heroes from across the land to join in the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Now that the plot was about to begin and Cao Cao had sent someone over, it must be to invite him to join the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

After all, as long as a player held the position of Governor, the plot to become a warlord would be triggered.

At this moment, the scholar also said: "Captain Cao has heard that Governor Su was peerless in bravery during the crusade against the Huang Jin, establishing illustrious military merits, and today he has specially ordered me to come and visit you, my lord."

"Hehe! Your master, Cao Mengde, isn't here just to visit me, is he? It's because of the current situation in the world, right?"

Su Li smiled, not intending to beat around the bush with him.

"Just as the rumors say, Governor Su is both wise and brave, and has already guessed the purpose for which the Captain sent this humble official; it is indeed not just to visit Governor Su!"

The scholar was quite interesting; he first praised Su Li, then cupped his hands and handed the silk letter in his hand to Su Li: "This is what my lord asked me to give to you, Governor Su; please, you must take a look!"

"Good!"

Su Li took the silk letter and looked at it; it started with a long paragraph of syrupy words, about hearing of his bravery, suppressing the Huang Jin, sweeping across the region, longing to meet him, unable to taste food, unable to sleep at night, and so on.

Someone who didn't know better might think Cao Cao had some ideas about him.

Of course...

Those who know call Cao Cao by the name "Cao the Wife-Snatcher."

There are also some brothers who often say... Brother Mengde, I have attained enlightenment...

…………

The first paragraph can be skipped directly; the latter part is the key point.

"Today there is the traitor Dong, born of barbarians, indulging his troops in theft, holding power while waiting for change, usurping supreme authority, recklessly deposing the young Emperor, arbitrarily installing the Xian Emperor, monopolizing the court, and bringing disaster to the inner palace; such tyrannical acts should be punished by all under heaven."

"Now, Cao Cao sincerely invites Brother Su to lead your elite troops and fierce generals to Chen Liu, to form an alliance and prepare to set out, to save the crumbling state and uphold justice for the world!"

Alright!

Ignoring the syrupy words at the beginning, the text of the call to arms written later was actually quite cultured.

In just a few sentences, he had written out all of Dong Zhuo's crimes, making anyone who saw them unable to help but feel indignant.

"Ding! You have triggered the main plot: 【Warlord Alliance】, do you accept?"

"Hint: Once accepted, you will join the main plot as a warlord and will not be able to change factions again."

At this time, the system also sent a prompt.

"Accept!"

Su Li decisively chose to accept.

There was nothing to discuss.

Since this is a Three Kingdoms world, Dong Zhuo's defeat is the trend of the times; why argue? It is better to go with the flow.

"Hmm, I have understood the words in the letter; you go back and tell Captain Cao that this Governor will arrive in Chen Liu on time to fulfill the alliance!"

After making his choice, Su Li said this to the scholar and then waved his hand to dismiss him.

"Sorry to disturb you, this humble official takes his leave!"

The scholar retreated very politely.

From beginning to end, Su Li never asked who he was.

Whether it was an ordinary NPC or an epic NPC, being able to serve as Cao Cao's envoy meant he was not someone he could recruit.

Next.

Su Li began to prepare for the troops to set out for Chen Liu.

This time, the teleportation array could not be used; when the plot officially began, all players had to travel to their respective faction locations on their own.

As for the participating troops, Su Li had already decided.

3,000 Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry.

3,000 Meteor Arrow Guards.

3,000 Vine Armor Fighters.

The lineup of generals sent was also luxurious: Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu, Zhang He, Pan Feng, and Guan Hai.

Ju Shou continued to serve as the military advisor.

Linglong and the others would lead tens of thousands of ordinary troops to guard Changshan Commandery.

Upon leaving.

Su Li patted Linglong's head: "After Big Brother leaves, you must help Big Brother guard White Cloud City and Changshan City."

"There are still remnants of the Heishan bandits nearby; you must not let them violate the people in our territory in the slightest!"

Linglong patted her already protruding chest and said: "Big Brother, rest assured, we will guard the territory for you and not let those thieves dare to invade even half a step!"

"Hahaha, very good!"

With a slight smile, Su Li waved his hand.

"Everyone, set out!"

Then.

The nine-thousand-man force, though not large, had a momentum as powerful as a dragon; the Vine Armor Fighters in the army held high the banners inscribed with the character "Su," flags fluttering and stretching for miles, as they slowly began to march toward Chen Liu.

Chapter 204: Faction Selection, A Problem

Marching along the way.

At a certain moment, a server-wide announcement suddenly rang out.

"Server-wide announcement: The second chapter of the main plot has officially begun."

"Warlord Faction: Cao Cao has issued a call to arms against Dong, inviting heroes from all over the world to gather in Chen Liu and crusade against Dong Zhuo together!"

"Dong Zhuo Faction: Currently hosting a pool of wine and forest of meat in Luoyang, inviting heroes from all over the world to share in the glory and wealth!"

"Special Hint: Players who wish to participate in the second chapter of the main plot, please head to the locations of both factions within one week! Otherwise, you will lose your eligibility to participate!"

"Players who choose to join the Dong Zhuo faction this time can receive pre-battle rewards, participate in the pool of wine and forest of meat, temporarily increase their own attributes, and have a chance to obtain Dong Zhuo's special rewards, including but not limited to treasure-grade equipment, trait books, 30 official positions, etc."

"Players who choose to join the Warlord faction this time will not have any pre-battle rewards and need to find the various warlords to join on their own; the current warlord candidates are the following nineteen:"
