Chapter 429 Preparing supplies
"Get up, don't kneel all the time. You can decide who will accompany the spirit dog clan on this trip." Lin Baiyan raised his hand to Quan Guo, his tone exceptionally gentle.
Quan Guo stood up in response, "High Priest, rest assured, the Spirit Dog Clan will never disappoint you."
"In that case, each company should go down and prepare. Yang Ye, make sure the supplies are complete, especially the food," Lin Baiyan earnestly instructed. Since ancient times, an army cannot move without provisions.
With ample supplies prepared, their march was free from worries.
Yang Ye nodded and quickly jotted down a few notes in his notebook. "High Priest, rest assured, I will check it carefully."
"Now I will announce the final results of this meeting. We will depart for the south in three days. Several elders will stay behind to guard the city, leaving one-third of the troops there. The remaining adult orcs will all leave with me." Lin Baiyan stood up first, his eyes solemn.
The other orcs then stood up, "Yes!"
After the meeting concluded, the clock in the central square rang again, and following the issuance of this order, the entire Beast City began to mobilize.
Such a massive operation required an enormous amount of manpower and resources. Food, weapons, and medicine were all essential items, keeping Yangyequanling extremely busy.
Lu Xiao, pregnant with her baby, touched her belly and looked at Lin Baiyan with a melancholy expression. "Is it really necessary to leave so suddenly? Can't we wait a few more days?"
Lin Baiyan lowered his head and smiled as he reached out to gently touch Lu Xiao's round belly. "Don't worry, I'll leave your Xiong Fei here to keep you company." Lu Xiao's belly is probably due to give birth in a few days, so it's best for Xiong Fei to stay obediently in the city.
Hearing this, Lu Xiao became agitated and slapped Lin Baiyan's hand away. "What kind of person do you take me for? You want to keep Xiong Fei here too? Do you think I'm the kind of person who's afraid of death?"
"I was thinking of giving birth to the baby and then going with you all. I'd like to see the old lairs of those southern tribes and see if they're really as big as they say." Lu Xiao rolled her eyes at Lin Baiyan without hesitation, her words carrying a hint of intimacy.
"Who knew you'd leave in such a hurry? But even if I can't go, Xiong Fei has to go with you. I told him to make sure he protects you well." But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, Lang Cang is still in the south, and we haven't heard from him for several months. Lin Baiyan must be a little worried.
After rolling his eyes, Lu Xiao still held Lin Baiyan's hand and kept nagging, "The outside world is not like the city of ten thousand beasts. No matter how strong you are, you are still just a sub-beastman. We are naturally weaker than male beastmen in terms of combat power. If anything happens, let the male beastmen go first!"
Lin Baiyan looked at Lu Xiao with amusement and teased him, "Alright, alright, I know. Now that you're pregnant, you look more and more like Uncle Rabbit Lin!"
Lu Xiao chuckled, but seeing Lin Baiyan's expression, his expression unconsciously relaxed. "Anyway, just remember that if you can't make it, run north and come home."
Lin Baiyan patted his shoulder and said seriously, "I know."
On the other side, after Quan Guo walked out of the office door, the strength he had been holding onto suddenly collapsed, and he involuntarily fell to the side.
They had been groveling for too long; even just facing the people of Ten Thousand Beasts City like this required him to muster all his strength.
Dog Fruit paid no attention to his own body, letting himself collapse against the wall.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands appeared between the wall and his body, catching him as he was about to fall. Quan Guo felt a very familiar presence. He looked up and saw a slightly rugged face. It was Xi Zhao.
Seeing the somewhat frail-looking Inu no Go, Xi Zhao's eyes shone with heartache. "How did you get yourself into this state?"
Quan Guo shook his head and left Xi Zhao's embrace. "It's nothing. I just asked the High Priest for permission to leave with the army."
“Then I want to go too, I want to go with you!” Xi Zhao blurted out.
Inugo pursed his lips. "You don't have to do this."
The two of them understood the meaning behind those words perfectly. Xi Zhao had expressed his feelings to him many times, and Quan Guo had rejected him more than once. However, Xi Zhao, perhaps influenced by someone, became increasingly persistent and seemed impossible to get rid of.
Xi Zhao spoke in a hard voice, deliberately avoiding Quan Guo's eyes, "My application to go to war has nothing to do with you. As a warrior of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, it is my responsibility to protect the safety of the city."
"You cannot deprive me of my rights as a warrior of Beast City." He said emphatically, looking at the somewhat frail sub-beastman in front of him.
Xi Zhao said earnestly, "Guo, I know why you rejected me, but I don't care. We can take care of your health slowly. I'm confident I can make you plump and healthy."
"No matter what you say, I'm sticking with you this time!" He would protect Quan Guo forever, even if it meant dying before him.
Looking at the stubborn expression on the male beastman's face, Quan Guo gave a wry smile and said, "Whatever."
He mustered his strength, stood up again, and headed towards the hound clan's residence. He needed to choose three beastmen to accompany him before setting off.
For many years, Quan Guo had suffered from the brutality of the Boar Tribe. Even after being rescued and taken to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, he had not fully recovered. Later, in order to rescue his tribesmen and guide Lin Baiyan, he exhausted some of his energy. After returning to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, he visibly declined.
That's right, this is a unique ability of the Spirit Dog clan: Sensing. This ability allows Dog Fruit to possess a keen sixth sense, thus finding what's in his heart.
Not every beastman can inherit such an ability. Among the spirit dog race, beastmen have only a very small chance of awakening their talents, and Quan Guo is one of them.
If the Spirit Dog Clan had not been invaded, he would most likely have become the clan's new priest.
He had been hiding in the Wild Boar tribe for so many years, blending in with the ordinary beastmen, and had never been discovered.
Last time, he used his sensory abilities to find the hiding place of the Wild Boar Tribe for Lin Baiyan and the others. This time, if he takes another gamble, he can win a place where the Spirit Dog Beastmen can live for a long time.
But that's not all that makes him this way. The reason why Quan Guo is confident in helping Lin Baiyan is because he also has another hidden ability besides sensing.
