Chapter 900 Get Out
Chapter 900 Get Out
"General, aren't you being a bit too careless with your words? All the military supplies have already been arranged, and the Governor-General has been fully cooperating in the rear to coordinate them. How can you expect to gain something from this with just a few words?"
In Fatty's view, this wasn't a shortage of military supplies that urgently needed replenishment, but rather that the commander's faction was envious of their profits and wanted to make a quick buck as well.
He was a man of Governor-General Airaf, and Airaf and Commander-in-Chief Zhenbei Hou were not on good terms. How could he possibly betray Airaf's interests to curry favor with him?
Upon hearing this, the quartermaster pointed an evil finger at the fat man's nose and said:
"How dare you! This monster meat is meant to be hunted by the army to supplement military supplies. When has it ever been forbidden to use it? If you dare to utter another word, believe me, I will deal with you according to military law."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the people who had come with him drew their long swords from their waists.
Judging from their positioning, it is clearly the positioning of a combat team, which can activate the battle formation at any time to enhance the overall strength.
The fat man was so angry that he couldn't speak. He hadn't expected them to be so tough.
The quartermaster ignored him and instead gave orders to the people behind him:
"Open the warehouse and load all the monster meat stored inside."
Seeing that the fat man was about to step forward to stop him, he kicked the fat man to the ground.
"If you dare to obstruct me again, even if the governor comes, I'll chop off your head first."
At this point, the quartermaster just wanted to complete the mission as quickly as possible, otherwise he could forget about being the quartermaster.
Seeing that the fat man wouldn't move, he spat and then cursed:
"Damn Great Wall Army, they'll be devoured and annihilated by their commander sooner or later. If they're going to die, they might as well just wait to die. Why are they putting up with so much resistance? They've made me a mess of things."
He knew that he had really offended Elaf this time, and that he would lose the tribute he was owed in the future, and that he might also be targeted by Elaf.
I just hope that the discord between the governor and the commander-in-chief, and my siding with the commander-in-chief, will save me.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but urge the logistics team to speed up the process.
Meanwhile, Chen Cheng, inside the warehouse, pressed his ear to his ear and released his special domain, and he heard the quartermaster's cursing and swearing.
Upon hearing about the Great Wall Army, Chen Cheng vaguely guessed that he had a pretty good idea of everything.
And now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has presented itself.
Chen Cheng called Xue Nu and She Li together and then explained his plan.
"These people are here to transport monster meat, probably to deliver it to the Great Wall Army in front. This is our opportunity."
"Later, when there are many people around, Sheli can lead us to the caravan, and then we can hide in the pile of meat and follow the caravan to the Wall in the North."
Sheli naturally agreed to the plan after hearing it.
“Young master is right. I just used Shadow Demon to investigate, and the magic array here is too complicated. I can’t find a complete flaw in it for a while.”
However, I did gain something: I can use Shadow Fiend to teleport the three of us a short distance. We can indeed sneak into the convoy and escape when there are many people around.
Upon hearing this, the Snow Maiden shook her head and looked at Chen Cheng, saying:
"That meat smells awful, I don't want it. I'll turn back into my original form in a bit and hide in your pocket."
"Alright, let's get ready now."
The snow woman instantly turned back into a snowball, and Chen Cheng picked her up and put her in his pocket.
"Young master, grab my shoulder."
She Li gripped the scabbard of the pig-slaughtering knife at his waist and addressed Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng reached out and grabbed Sheli's shoulder. Sheli slightly pulled out the butcher knife, and the shadow demon in the knife instantly engulfed the two of them like a black tide.
When he reappeared, Chen Cheng felt his body being pressed down firmly by a soft, heavy object.
At the same time, a foul, meaty smell wafted from the tip of my nose.
Chen Cheng knew that he had been transported to the pile of monster meat in the convoy by Sheli using Shadow Cloak.
At the same time, through the faint gaps, Chen Cheng could hear the sounds of people coming and going outside, carrying pieces of meat.
"The five million catties of monster meat in the general's warehouse have all been loaded onto trucks."
The quartermaster frowned upon hearing the number. Don't assume it's a lot of meat just because it's a number; a magical beast can be dozens or even hundreds of times larger than an ordinary animal.
Five million catties is equivalent to two thousand five hundred tons, which translates to at most a thousand or so magical beasts.
However, the number of troops on monthly hunting duty exceeds ten thousand, and the number of magical beasts hunted is in the tens of thousands.
It was obvious that the rest of the monster meat had already been taken away by this fat man.
The remaining five million catties are probably the amount hunted recently, but the merchants haven't had time to transport them away yet.
The military supplies they need to replenish this time include eight million catties of meat, and they are still short four million catties. Where are they supposed to get so much meat?
"How long until the hunting party that recently went out returns?"
The quartermaster asked the man next to him.
"General, it should take another seven days."
The person next to him did the math and then answered.
The quartermaster frowned upon hearing this; clearly, there simply wasn't enough time.
"General, in my opinion, we can use those high-grade monster meats to replenish our supplies first. This is only four million catties, and I believe we can make up the rest when the next hunting party returns."
However, the quartermaster hesitated upon hearing this.
Because low-grade monster meat doesn't have much use, but platinum-grade monster meat is extremely nourishing. It not only helps with warrior cultivation but is also the best ingredient for building a foundation for warrior cultivation.
The Great Wall Army is currently facing a generational gap. Although it has managed to replenish its bloodline through intermarriage and other means, it is still extremely lacking in resources.
The five kingdoms are also doing their utmost to prevent the Great Wall Army from obtaining a certain amount of cultivation resources.
However, the quartermaster felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of Ye Rong's sword strike.
Four million catties it is. I believe this amount of high-grade monster meat won't cause much of a stir for the Great Wall Army.
"Let's open the position."
Upon hearing the quartermaster's order, the soldiers escorting the logistics all got to work.
They didn't want to be implicated because of their coach's reckless behavior.
After all, it wasn't those generals who were escorting the supplies, but them. And the sword strike Ye Rong had unleashed earlier was truly terrifying; they didn't want to see Ye Rong lose his temper again.
The fat man, who had been kicked to the ground by the quartermaster, watched all this coldly. He would report everything that happened here to Elav, and then they would all die.
