“It’s Grand Chancellor Cao!” Ji Ye murmured on the altar.
He narrowed his eyes with a strange look on his face.
Compared with the other Legendary heroes that tended to go overboard on one or some subjects, Cao Cao was more of a “comprehensive talent”.
He was outstanding in both military and political talents, and even in the field of literature, he was one of the best of the entire Three Kingdoms period. For some settlements lacking top heroes, he would be more valuable than people like Zhuangzi and the Duke of Zhou.
However, it was quite surprising that Cao Cao would choose Dragon City.
After all, although he was only made an emperor posthumously, he was still an emperor.
A hero like him usually wouldn’t choose to come to a settlement that already had an absolute leader.
“Wait. Cao Cao’s talent won’t be ‘control the emperor and command the nobles’, will it?”
Ji Ye’s face darkened a little when that idea occurred to him.
The truth was, he had scruples about having Cao Cao, the well-known “arch-careerist”.
To some extent, Cao Cao could bring more twists to Cobb, the master dream engineer. Although Cobb’s talent allowed him to plant ideas in other people’s minds, which could pose some threat, he was only the leader of a small criminal organization without too much ambition, not to mention that because of the downgrade, he had forgotten his identity. Naturally, he wouldn’t try to do anything sinister.
But Cao Cao was a different story. Behind him were the entire Wei Kingdom and the heroes of the families of Cao and Xiahou.
And there were also Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Guo Jia, Cheng Yi, Jia Xu, Xun You, Zhang He, Sima Yi…
After Cao Cao, the Emperor Wu of Wei, arrived at Dragon City, the possibility of the above-mentioned heroes coming here would increase as well. The force of the Wei Kingdom in Dragon City would increase, and these heroes might form a faction.
It wasn’t that Ji Ye was against heroes or players from forming factions. In fact, it was almost impossible to stop that from happening. Apart from a few exceptions, all the heroes had a certain historical background, and it was only natural that they were drawn to those they were familiar with, and Ji Ye had no problem with that.
But if the head of that faction had an ambition, things would get complicated, especially when that hero was the first Legendary hero of Dragon City.
Hum!
While Ji Ye was still thinking, the battle had started on the altar.
The final result of this battle was anticipated. After all, Cao Cao was a Legendary hero and had been blessed with the power of providence of all other Chidragon settlements.
The offering only had its own power. Probably because the yaksha queen was a player, whose mind went back to her own world after she died in the game, the yaksha queen appearing in the test battle seemed a little slow.
More importantly, she was all by herself and held nothing in the mirror.
“Protect the grand chancellor!”
After Cao Cao took shape, the power of providence rolled, and an armored cavalry with over a thousand soldiers appeared. They quickly surrounded Cao Cao to protect him.
“How impressive. Is that the Tiger Leopard Cavalry?”
“Yes, obviously!”
It was obviously the Tiger Leopard Cavalry, Cao Cao’s personal guards. It was one of the top troops of the Three Kingdoms era, if not of the entire ancient Chidragon period.
“Attack!”
The one thousand horsemen charged at the yaksha queen.
Before, the offering side always had the advantage in their numbers.
This was the first time that the hero had more people on his side.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Although the yaksha queen could kill the horsemen coming at her with the Transcendent power of her mirror, there were simply too many riders. After the yaksha queen killed a few dozens of horsemen, the rest scattered under Cao Cao’s command and circled in toward the yaksha queen from all directions.
The mirror could attack one direction at once, and there was no way it could stop the horsemen from all sides.
Among the horsemen were a few generals holding various weapons, and even the mirror couldn’t do much damage to them.
Because they all gave off what felt like Transcendent power.
Apparently, they should be generals like Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen, who had left their names in historical records.
Although they weren’t the Five Elite Generals or someone like Xu Chu or Dian Wei, the yaksha queen still wasn’t their match when they all attacked her together.
She was able to use the power of the Moonstone to evade the attack and flew into the air, but the sky had been sealed by the power of providence, and the yellow dragon of the Feng Shui formation smacked her back onto the altar.
In the end, the elegant-looking yaksha queen was killed by the combined force of the cavalry.
[“May God’s people take the cloud chariot and the white deer to the gate of heaven to obtain God’s medicine. I’ll kneel down and show my respect to God!”]
When the yaksha queen died, the chanting that had been lasting for minutes finally stopped, and Cao Cao, in a red robe, showed his face.
He was short of stature and had small eyes and a heavy beard. He was in his 50s and looked like someone who was used to giving orders.
[Cao Cao]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-1]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Description: The Legendary hero was from the late Eastern Han Dynasty and was Emperor Wu of Wei. He had made achievements in politics, military, literature, and calligraphy. He had taken advantage of the emperor to order the princes and was believed to be a powerful figure!]
“Wow, it really is Cao Cao!”
“What level is he? Why did the battle have such a big scale?”
“He has to be Transcendent, but I don’t know what his rarity is.”
“Has Master Ji summoned Cao Cao to take care of the Dense Fog?”
Seeing this, the Dragon City players were elated.
Although the Dense Fog had been blocked outside, it was still a depressing scene, and the main force of the city still hadn’t come back from the yaksha settlement.
Cao Cao’s arrival would have a great effect on the current war.
“Thank you, Master Ji.
“I think this belongs to the right people!”
As the most advanced hero of Dragon City so far, Cao Cao was surprisingly humble after he passed the test.
The first thing he did was to give the mirror back to Ji Ye.
Although he came to Dragon City through this offering, he didn’t transform it into his own power, because strictly speaking, it didn’t match him all that well.
He didn’t want the power of this offering. He just wanted to come to Dragon City earlier than all other Legendary heroes.
In fact, Cao Cao didn’t have the “evil intention” that Ji Ye had worried about.
Yes, he had his ambitions.
But it wasn’t to replace Ji Ye and become the master of this settlement.
If he wanted to become the owner of a settlement, he wouldn’t have come to a settlement like Dragon City.
From the information he received when he arrived, Cao Cao was well aware of Ji Ye’s power. Even if he had the talent skill of “taking advantage of the emperor to order the princes”, he still wouldn’t be able to replace Ji Ye.
Because none of the heroes, new or old, would follow Cao Cao’s command, let alone players like Elder Meng, Su Nongying, and Li Qing.
As a newcomer, he had few contribution points. Even if he was a Legendary hero, the resources he could obtain were nothing compared with that of heroes like Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, who had made great contributions to the settlement.
Because Dragon City used contribution points as the standard and not qualifications, Cao Cao chose to come here.
As a legendary figure in history, he believed that he could catch up from behind and make achievements bigger than when he was the grand chancellor.
“Commander Cao, does the mirror not suit you? Use this Hundred Ghost Whip for the time being then. After our battle against the Dense Fog is over, I’ll ask Commander Tang Long to build something specifically for you.”
Ji Ye didn’t decline.
He nodded and put the mirror into his Void Ring.
It was a Perfect object. Since it didn’t fulfill its mission as an offering, it had become a Perfect and Transcendent weapon. Maybe he could try to fuse it and learn some related skills from it.
As for Cao Cao’s weapon, it was the whip dropped by Granny Tree Demon.
It was an Excellent and Transcendent offering, so theoretically, it could be used to summon a Transcendent hero.
But they didn’t have a Soul of Civilization of that level, so they could only use it as a weapon for the time being.
After Cao Cao arrived, Ji Ye didn’t have many scruples about him anymore.
“Master Ji, Cao Cao’s talent skill is…”
Because Su Nongying saw Cao Cao’s skill with her Registration Book and told Ji Ye through the communication channel. It wasn’t the one that he had been worried about. Rather, it was something else that could give the settlement a great help!
