The correct response is:
"The general makes it sound like he and Rainsford will be hunting together, but really the general is going to hunt Rainsford."
This is an example of sarcasm because the general's words imply camaraderie and partnership in hunting, but the underlying meaning is that he sees Rainsford as the prey rather than a hunting companion.
