Chapter 985 – Great Han Dynasty
Gaia 5th year, 1st month, 2nd day, the 3rd day after Gaia removed the restrictions on the imperial city, the Hanwu Emperor suddenly appointed General Wei Qing to lead 600 thousand troops out of Luoyang to attack Zhongyuan.
Under the leadership of God General Wei Qing, the Great Han guards army was invincible, downing cities and causing many territories to surrender. If nothing went wrong, the Zhongyuan Province would fall under Great Han.
Even the Yanhuang Alliance would not dare to compete against Great Han at this moment.
The moment the news came out, the players felt really conflicted. This was the first time an NPC empire had shown its strength to the wilderness. It was like crushing a branch, sending a chill down one’s spine.
Along with the Zhongyuan Province falling into the hands of Great Han, a true empire suddenly stood in the Zhongyuan Region.
……
Shanhai City, Xia Palace.
Ouyang Shuo had predicted that the Hanwu Emperor would strike out, but he did not expect the Hanwu Emperor to be so decisive. Who knows whether this change of hands in the mid plain was good news for Great Xia or not.
“What’s the reply from West Chu?” Ouyang Shuo asked.
Zhang Liang replied, “Their attitude is really friendly, but their mentality is really determined.”
“….”
As expected from Xiang Yu. Even when he was facing enemies on all four sides, he was not going to seek help from others.
Ouyang Shuo originally wanted to borrow the hand of the Yanhuang Alliance to totally pull West Chu into the Shanhai Alliance or even merge them into the Great Xia system.
Now, it seemed like his thinking was too simple.
Zhang Liang said, “My king, it seems like we will not be able to keep Ludong Province.”
For some reason, the Yanhuang Alliance was determined to connect their territories together. If Great Xia did not want an all-out war, they could only watch on as West Chu got swallowed.
“Although that’s the case, we still have to do something.”
Ouyang Shuo did not want to see the Yanhuang Alliance expand so smoothly. No matter what, he had to think of a way to hamper their growth.
“Let the Administrative Mentor Court think of an idea.” Ouyang Shuo instructed.
“Yes my king!”
************
In the blink of an eye, it was the 1st month, 5th year. At 10 AM, the System Notification sounded out punctually.
“World Notification: The 2nd world auction officially begins. All players who fulfill the conditions will receive an invite that will teleport them to the auction house if they agree.”
…
When he was in Lemuria, Ouyang Shuo had spent all the money he had on hand. Using the Golden Stage also cost a million. By the end of the year, despite the dynasty being rich, Ouyang Shuo only had two million spendable gold.
Ouyang Shuo was prepared to be an onlooker in this auction.
City in the skies, auction hall.
A year had passed, and the number of players who were able to attend dropped instead of increasing. Not only the China region, but also the entire world had a huge reshuffling during the 4th year.
The huge waves would eliminate the sand. Those that were still standing now could be considered elites.
Ouyang Shuo’s appearance naturally attracted attention. Another famous person was the second person who established a dynasty – Jack, who had become a hero of the western camp.
Looking at the way he was acting, he was probably planning to use this auction to make the Dawson Dynasty more famous. Before the start of the auction, he even went to Ouyang Shuo to greet him.
Ouyang Shuo reached out and smiled, “Congratulations!”
“Thank you!” Jack felt a little weird.
This memorable moment was shot down by people and would quickly spread around the globe.
Maybe he felt that Ouyang Shuo had gotten one over him, as Jack said, “I am looking forward to having a face-to-face conversation with the Great Xia Navy in the Pacific.”
“Me too.”
Ouyang Shuo smiled; his face was still really casual.
Although the Pacific separated Great Xia and the Dawson Dynasty, they would still have conflicts of interests.
Along with the Yanhuang Alliance opening up the trade route with North America, the Hawaii islands located in the middle of the Pacific became a hotly contested point. Whoever took control of it could control the Pacific.
Although Ouyang Shuo did not have plans to trade with North America, he still needed to take down Hawaii. Before he left for the second voyage, he had ordered the Yizhou Squadron to send a scouting squadron over to patrol. If conditions permitted it, they were to directly take Hawaii down.
The problem was that he had not received a reply from Yizhou Squadron till date.
This meant that the trip was not smooth. Who knows, they might have already met Dawson Dynasty’s squadron. In the 5th year of Gaia, the two dynasties would have a battle over Hawaii.
At this very moment, the auction began.
The auctioneer smiled widely as he walked onto stage and said, “Now, let’s start the auction of the first item.”
A model walked to the front and pulled aside the red silk on the tray, revealing a talisman.
“Merit Talisman: After use, player directly obtains 300 thousand merit points. Base price 500 thousand gold, there’s no buyout,” the auctioneer introduced.
The moment they heard his words, everyone took in a deep breath.
Ouyang Shuo was speechless. Gaia really had something against him. Thinking back to the merit point quest system, Gaia obviously wanted a few more dynasties to be born in a short time.
Di Chen, who sat to the left of Ouyang Shuo, became nervous. On this earth, there was probably no one that desired this item more than the Yanhuang Alliance.
“600 thousand!”
“700 thousand!”
…
“1 million!”
“1.1 million!”
…
In less than 20 minutes, the price of the item had reached 1.5 million gold.
“Are these people crazy?”
Ouyang Shuo could not understand why they would go all out for just 300 thousand merit points.
If Di Chen and the others knew what he was thinking, they would definitely scold him.
300 thousand merit points!!
Such an amount was the same as three to four Battle Maps. Even during a country war, one might not obtain so much. From the start of the game till now, there were definitely no more than 200 people who accrued 300 thousand merit points.
Additionally, there were only two dynasties in the world. The position of third was still empty. Whoever obtained this item would lead the race for this spot.
Just the Gaia awarded rewards exceeded 1.5 million gold.
Hence, Ouyang Shuo could only look on with his mouth agape as the price soared. It only slowed down once it reached 2.5 million gold.
The Lords became more careful when they bid.
Ouyang Shuo noticed that when the price reached 2.5 million, William went in.
“3 million!”
At this very moment, William, who had previously remained silent, suddenly went in and raised the price by 500 thousand. This move of his scared away a majority of the competitors.
William wanted this item badly.
“3.2 million gold!”
The one who bid was Caesar, and he even provocatively looked at William.
“3.4 million!”
“3.6 million!”
These two European nations wanted to have a good battle over the merit talisman.
When the other Lords saw this situation, they all silently backed out. However, looking at Di Chen’s expression, he obviously still wanted it.
“3.8 million!”
After making this bid William’s eyes were red. Obviously, this bid was close to his limit.
“3.9 million!” Caesar continued.
William gritted his teeth and said, “4 million!” He had already decided that if Caesar continued to bid, he would give up.
The whole world was focusing on Caesar.
Who would have expected him to would give out a weird smile and causally say, “I give up!”
Total silence.
William’s face was really ugly, and he viciously said, “You were playing me?”
Caesar wore a mocking expression on his face and smiled, “I have no money, so I’ll obviously give up.”
“….”
There was nothing William could say, and he could only swallow this.
Just as everyone thought that the dust had settled, a bid sounded out, “4.1 million!”
The one that bid was Di Chen.
When William heard this, he unknowingly heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I give up.”
Just like that, the merit talisman was taken by the dark horse Di Chen with a record price. When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he was filled with thoughts.
The 5th year of Gaia was destined to not be a peaceful one in China.
Maybe the first item was simply too shocking, but the next few were really lackluster in comparison, and there was not much desire for them.
Ouyang Shuo did not even act a single time.
On the other hand, Jack took down two items, stealing the show.
The auctioneer smiled, “Now for the 6th item.” The model went to the front and unveiled the item, revealing an old book.
“War Soldier Code; this is a King Rank cultivation method for rank 12 war elite soldiers. It can be taught to a maximum of five thousand people. Base price 500 thousand, no buyout.” The auctioneer introduced, “Friendly Reminder, the War Soldier Code has a huge demand on the cultivator and needs precious herbs to train in it.”
“This….”
If the auctioneer did not remind them, all of them would be tempted. However, after the reminder, the value of the War Soldier Code had dropped.
Gaia was really fair when it did business.
Ouyang Shuo’s eyes tensed up; this was the first time he showed interest as he thought about the Divine Martial Guards.
As his Personal Guards, they were a special troop type, but they were not strong enough to be invincible.
During this period of time, ministers had been suggesting he expanded the Divine Martial Guards for his safety.
Ouyang Shuo did not agree, as he was planning to make the Divine Martial Guards into a reality on Planet Hope. If he expanded them, the costs might become too much.
If he did not increase the number, he could only increase quantity.
Ouyang Shuo thought about giving each of them a secret manual, but such items were too expensive. Ouyang Shuo did not care for the low rank ones, while collecting three thousand sets was impossible.
The appearance of this item helped to solve his dilemma.
As for the reminder the auctioneer gave, why would Ouyang Shuo care? In the entire world, which territory would have higher standards than Great Xia?
