Chapter 640: Chapter 6: Jun, Ming, Shen - Upgraded Effects of the Transformation Method (Da Zhang Unification)_4

Of course, the warhorse must be able to withstand the martial techniques that its master employs while riding it.

If it can’t even bear this much exertion, it can’t be called a battle steed.

He Wu was reasonable in his assessment; he merely wanted to gauge the quality, not purposely make things difficult.

"Majestic~"

The Dragon Whisker Horse let out a Dragon Roar Clear Sound, and the Qi dragon in the sky roared in response.

Then, vigorously, it stood up straight with He Wu on its back.

He Wu silently praised the horse and then raised his hand to make a fist, lifting it above his head.

He was about to join the Qi and Blood Battle Formation.

To become the controller of the formation.

The core of the formation was originally this precious steed he was riding.

Now that he was taking over the formation, it was akin to taking charge of the life and death of the entire herd of horses.

Because once he took control, any damage he sustained would be shared and dispersed among the horses.

Normally, the initial training of the battle formation was the most troublesome, due to the strong resistance of the wild horses.

They would not easily entrust their lives to someone.

As expected, He Wu’s Qi met resistance and was not accepted by the Qi dragon.

The horses below also began to grow restless.

Zhao Xing remained unmoved, simply watching quietly.

He Wu fell into thought and switched the method of circulating his Qi, aligning himself more closely with the Qi dragon battle formation.

The resistance he faced suddenly weakened, and after 15 minutes,

The restlessness of the herd vanished.

He Wu looked surprised, then gently patted the Dragon Whisker Horse.

The entire formation of horses moved forward in unison with just one step, following his intent.

"Change!"

He Wu pointed with his hand, and one of the Qi dragons in the sky immediately transformed into a huge Qi spear.

Now, this was a battle formation he was familiar with.

Even though it was somewhat unstable and could collapse at any moment, the fact that he had successfully changed the formation on the first attempt still left He Wu too astonished to speak.

He didn’t continue the trial for long, considering these were only pre-battle steeds, not yet true warhorses.

They couldn’t endure too much of his rough handling.

After dismounting from the horse, He Wu returned to the steps.

He opened his mouth, wanting to point out some fault, but what came out instead was, "Marquis Yuan Rang, name your price."

He simply couldn’t force himself to find fault where there was none.

He Wu was a military officer, not a merchant; he wasn’t the kind to forsake honor for profit.

To nitpick such battle steeds for a better price?

If he truly did that against his conscience, he would have to slap himself awake in the middle of the night.

"General can see that the Twin Dragon Horse Supervisor practices elite training," Zhao Xing said.

"Therefore, the price is forty thousand for an eighth-grade, and two hundred thousand for a seventh-grade, each to be settled in Military Realm Points, with official transfers and no bargaining," he stated.

The price was more than double the normal rate.

But He Wu felt it was worth it.

Still, he asked, "If my Wuluo Army orders in large quantities, is there a discount?"

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "I can’t reduce the price, but as the first customers, if you buy in bulk, we can add a few high-quality horses to give to the officers in your army."

He Wu said, "I’ll start with an order of a thousand eighth-grade Dragon Whisker Horses and five hundred seventh-grade. But I need to take these back immediately, as my army has an urgent need for ten thousand sets of equipment. Marquis Yuan Rang, how would you like to handle the payment?"

"This transaction must be settled immediately, with no credit. For subsequent preorders, a deposit of thirty percent is required, and the balance must be paid upon delivery," he replied.

"Done."

"Wait!" Fang Ze could no longer sit idly by, "How could you just leave my Jiujiang Army out and start negotiating on your own?"

A hint of a smile appeared on Zhao Xing’s lips, "General Fang, do you have any instructions?"

"Marquis Yuan Rang, how many Dragon Whisker Horses do you have here?" Fang Ze asked.

"All the mature Dragon Whisker Horses available for supply are here, totaling just over a thousand when combining seventh and eighth grades," Zhao Xing said, "However, this number can increase to about eight thousand in half a year."

"My Jiujiang Army’s equipment needs are greater, I need at least fifty thousand!" Fang Ze said. "I also need to bring back a batch of mature horses immediately, you cannot give them all to the Luo Wu Army."

"Old Fang, keep dreaming. What does the Jiujiang Army need so many Dragon Whisker Horses for? With most of your forces in the navy, where does this demand come from?"

"That’s none of your business; I’m taking these horses!"

"Rubbish, they’re mine because I asked first!"

The temper of the military officers flared, and the two previously amicable men started arguing with each other.

Tao Anchun, listening on the side, was moved to tears.

If it weren’t for the inappropriateness of the occasion, he would have burst out laughing.

The leaders of two mighty armies vying for horses – the Twin Dragon Horse Supervisor truly had its day!

"Alright, both of you," Zhao Xing intervened, "You’re both from brother armies; let’s not harm the camaraderie."

"I too come from the military and understand the feelings of you two generals."

He Wu and Fang Ze immediately stopped arguing and looked at Zhao Xing.

"For this batch of Dragon Whisker Horses, you will each take half back with you," Zhao Xing decided.

"If the superiors are satisfied, you can place further orders as needed."

"I can assure you, for the next few years, the Twin Dragon Horse Supervisor can completely satisfy your demands."

"Good," He Wu and Fang Ze agreed at once.

Zhao Xing then arranged for Tao Anchun to lead them both to the government office for a detailed discussion.

Only Xia Tong remained there.

"Big brother, thank you for waiting," Zhao Xing said with more familiarity, directly addressing him as big brother.

"No problem, no problem," Xia Tong chuckled, "Qilin’er was right, even if you just came here to raise horses, you’re extraordinary."

"These two fellows are quite picky. I was about to scold them just now, but the batch of Dragon Whisker Horses shut them up."

Zhao Xing humbly said, "It’s all thanks to the support from various elders, especially Princess You Ruo. Without her, I couldn’t have achieved this success."
