212: Shameless Xiongnu general

It was a one-sided slaughter!

The Xiongnu Cavalry had no power to resist and could only flee in a panic. The White Horse Righteous Cavalry easily killed over 20,000 Xiongnu Soldiers. If Lin Yue hadn't stopped them, even more fleeing Soldiers would have become ghosts under the White Horse Righteous Cavalry' blades!

The White Horse Righteous Cavalry were now cleaning up the battlefield, giving an extra stab to every Xiongnu people they passed to see if any Xiongnu people were feigning death to get away.

Lin Yue, leading Big Yellow, also walked out through the countless corpses.

Suddenly, his ankle was gripped tightly!

Lin Yue subconsciously drew his Miao Blade, only to see a severely wounded Xiongnu people clutching his ankle and looking at him.

“Save me…” the Xiongnu people said. Seeing a long blade coming towards him, he quickly added,

“I am valuable, don’t kill me! I am a Xiongnu people Local Official!”

The long blade stopped before his eyes, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“You are a Local Official? Then let me ask you, why did you fight amongst yourselves just now?” Lin Yue asked with interest.

Although among the captives of his Army, there were at least three hundred, if not five hundred, Xiongnu people of the Local Official rank, he still decided to ask. Lin Yue was very curious about their internal conflict.

“King Baiyang issued an edict on the grasslands, saying he… he wanted to kill Lin Yue. Whoever brings Lin Yue’s head will be rewarded with a million cattle and sheep and appointed to the position of Left Grand Commandant!

And he ordered us to attack the Qin Army along the entire front,” the Xiongnu Military General said weakly.

“So you fought fiercely to compete for the chance to kill me?” Lin Yue laughed, instantly understanding the key point. He hadn't expected to become such a hot commodity one day!

The Left Grand Commandant was one of King Baiyang’s top four generals. For Local Official like them, it was no exaggeration to say it was a step to heaven!

And the reward of a million cattle and sheep was more than half the wealth of some medium-sized tribes!

For a Local Official like the one before him, who was neither loved by his grandmother nor his uncle, it meant skipping a lifetime of detours!

These rewards were so tempting that even he felt a little swayed!

“Kill you? You… you are Lin Yue?” the Xiongnu Military General asked in surprise. He had thought about killing Lin Yue, but he never expected that a random person he grabbed would turn out to be the very person he had been longing to kill!

Lin Yue noticed the Xiongnu people’s gaze greedily fixed on his neck, and a chill ran down his spine.

However, it was a rare opportunity to gather information about the Xiongnu people, so he had to endure it for now.

“No, King Baiyang is imprisoned in my camp. How did he issue orders to you?” Lin Yue looked suspiciously at the Xiongnu Military General lying on the ground, always feeling that his shifty-eyed appearance didn't suggest he was a good person.

“King Baiyang’s prince, Bulu, became King Baiyang a few days ago. We all listen to him…” the Xiongnu Military General told Lin Yue.

“I see,” Lin Yue laughed.

That night, seeing him unwilling to retreat even to his death, desperately trying to save King Baiyang, he had thought it was deep father-son affection. He hadn't expected King Baiyang to still be alive when his son directly took over, which was truly surprising.

He wondered what expression King Baiyang would have if he knew!

“Last question, do you know where the Qin Army has reached?” Lin Yue asked. This concerned the life and death of his White Horse Righteous Cavalry!

“I know. The Qin Army has already reached a place 1,500 li from here, unstoppable.

We all planned to kill you, then go to King Baiyang to claim the reward and get away from this troublesome place.” The Xiongnu Military General didn't conceal anything; at this moment, he only wanted to live.

1,500 li away, if it were cavalry, with both armies advancing towards each other, it would take less than two days to arrive!

He only needed to hold on for two more days, and he would be safe! Lin Yue thought.

This was perhaps the best news he had heard in recent days.

Then he looked at the Xiongnu Military General. At this moment, he had no more use!

“Don’t kill me! I am a Local Official! I know some Xiongnu people secrets and also the military deployment of the Xiongnu people tribes. I can tell you all of this. I can even lead the way to help you ambush them. I am willing to be your dog, your most loyal servant, I only beg you to save me…” The Xiongnu Military General felt his killing intent and could only plead bitterly.

He didn't want to die yet. If he died, his tribe would immediately suffer a ruthless blow from the Axe General’s Army!

“Be my dog?” Lin Yue laughed.

He had seen many Xiongnu people, but such a spineless Xiongnu people, he had truly never seen before!

None of the million Xiongnu Soldiers he had previously buried alive were as shameless as him, wanting to be someone else’s dog.

This was a complete Xiongnu people traitor!

“What is your realm?” Lin Yue suddenly asked.

“I just became a High-level Military General a few days ago. Once my injuries heal, I can serve you diligently, charging into battle for you… I am useful, I truly have value, please save my life, I really don’t want to die…” A glimmer of hope appeared in the Xiongnu Military General’s eyes, as if he saw a chance to live.

“That’s great!” Lin Yue laughed.

The Xiongnu Military General’s tightly strung heart finally relaxed upon hearing this!

But the next moment, a cold flash, and the Xiongnu Military General only felt his vision go dark. He looked at Lin Yue in disbelief.

Lin Yue, however, was expressionless, and then the game system’s prompt entered his mind.

【Congratulations to the player for slaying an alien High-level Military General! Rewarding the player with 10,000 Merits points!】

【The player currently has a total of 96,840 Merits points!】

A hint of a smile appeared on Lin Yue’s stern face. If the Xiongnu Military General’s Martial Power value had been lower, he might have considered taking him in. Keeping a Xiongnu people dog, not for anything else, but just to disgust King Baiyang.

But as luck would have it, the Xiongnu Military General had just been promoted to a High-level Military General a few days ago!

That was 10,000 Merits points!

Who could resist such a great temptation?

At least Lin Yue couldn't.

“My Lord, we suffered no casualties in this battle and killed over 20,000 enemy troops. Shall we continue the pursuit or wait for the Army to gather?” Xing Daorong walked over and asked.

“Arrange the bodies of these Xiongnu people. I want to give Bulu a gift,” Lin Yue laughed.

“A gift? Does My Lord intend to give him a jing guan (corpse display)?” Xing Daorong’s eyes lit up as he asked.

“More than that, I want to…” Lin Yue whispered to Xing Daorong. Xing Daorong’s eyes gradually brightened upon hearing this, and he agreed without hesitation.

Now, the bigger the commotion, the better, so as to attract the attention of the Qin Army!

Only then could the Qin Army determine his approximate location and come to his aid, Lin Yue thought.

Then Xing Daorong began to get busy, while Lin Yue quietly gazed at the grasslands.

Because he had discovered a problem: could it be that the Military General he summoned was lost? Why hadn't he arrived after ten days?

Was this game system reliable after all, or was it because his position kept changing, causing the summoned Military General to be unable to find him?

He felt a little anxious. If he had another First-rate Military General under him now, his current situation would be much better!

Lin Yue sighed, helpless.

It wasn't until Zhao Yun and Du Tong and others arrived that Lin Yue and his group rendezvoused with them and continued their march, heading south!
