Chapter 769: Cao Cao

Time passed.

Soon, there was only one day left until the official start of the main storyline of Chapter Two.

On this day.

As the host, Chen Liu Commandant Zhang Miao had long since arranged for his subordinates to cast a high flag platform in an open area of Suanzao County. He prepared pigs, sheep, and livestock for sacrificial offerings, burned incense, and prayed for a great victory in the campaign against Dong.

Only after these rituals were completed did he invite the various warlords to gather in the Suanzao County hall for the alliance oath-taking ceremony.

At this time, although many players had arrived outside Suanzao County and joined the camps of the various warlords.

They were not qualified to join the oath-taking alliance.

Let alone the qualifications for the alliance, they didn't even have the qualifications to enter Suanzao County.

When the oath-taking ceremony began, Suanzao County had already been tightly surrounded by heavy troops dispatched by Zhang Miao; only warlords could enter.

The purpose of doing this was naturally to prevent player spies from Dong Zhuo's side from infiltrating while the various warlords discussed the grand plan to conquer Dong.

After all, whether they were players or NPCs under the warlords, anyone could potentially become an enemy mole.

Of course!

As a Commandery Governor, Su Li was naturally qualified to enter.

"Changshan Governor... arrives!"

When Su Li entered the Suanzao County hall, the NPC guards responsible for reception even loudly lined up to welcome him.

Then, a man of short stature with a face full of whiskers followed closely behind and cupped his hands toward Su Li: "I am Cao Mengde. I have long heard that although Governor Su is an 'extraordinary being,' he is a rare talent for command. Seeing you today, your reputation is well-deserved!"

As soon as Cao Cao came up, he gave Su Li a high compliment.

Since one does not strike a smiling face, and since Cao Cao had said this, Su Li also smiled and cupped his hands in return: "I once heard that Captain Cao went alone to assassinate the Dong villain. Although you did not succeed, this heroic spirit of sacrificing oneself for the world is enough to call you a lone hero. I admire you!"

Come on, let's engage in commercial mutual flattery and see who can out-flatter whom.

"Hahaha, Governor Su, your words are too serious. How can I, Cao, be considered a lone hero? I am but a solitary man. I heard that Governor Su has an invincible cavalry unit under his command. If I, Cao, could have such a unit, I reckon I would have already succeeded in eliminating the villain."

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and smiled, clearly implying something.

Alright!

Upon hearing this, Su Li's gaze turned cold. So this fellow Cao Cao had designs on his troops.

He didn't know where this guy got his intelligence, but he actually knew about his Crimson Dragon Cavalry.

This was clearly looking for trouble!

However, even though Su Li knew Cao Cao's intentions were impure, he still smiled on the surface: "Captain Cao, your words are truly too serious. My troops are far from invincible; those eight words are still a long way off."

"Hehe, my words are not an exaggeration at all. Furthermore, I have heard that Su Li was peerless in bravery during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. In this campaign against Dong Zhuo, I, Cao, also hope to witness your heroic bearing."

Seeing that Su Li's words were airtight, Cao Cao did not continue to press. After a polite remark, they each took their seats.

But this conversation served as a reminder to Su Li.

Now that the main storyline of Chapter Two had begun, once it ended, it would likely be a chaotic battle among the warlords. ===== CHAPTER 774 =====
