Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 527: The fog is over, and people from the kingdom are coming! (5000)

Cao Xing saw the destroyed ground in the territory, as well as the collapsed lighthouses and watchtowers.

It can be seen that the creatures in the fog seem to be very angry, but due to certain rules, they cannot force their way into the room and can only attack the buildings in the territory.

Fortunately, everyone stayed in the room and no one was hurt.

Cao Xing took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone gather."

Upon hearing Cao Xing's order, thousands of people from the entire territory came over.

Then it took about three minutes to complete the assembly.

Cao Xing didn't say anything, but glanced at the crowd.

The fog disaster lasted for eleven days, but did not take away anyone in the territory.

This also made him feel very satisfied.

"Very good, we have overcome the difficulties together again."

Hearing this, the old man Cao Yi took the lead and said: "The gods will protect this sacred land, my lord."

Other staff members also closed their eyes and prayed devoutly.

For them, every time they survive a natural disaster, it is a new life, equivalent to living again.

There was a sacred glow on everyone's face.

After a moment, Cao Xing said, "Starting today, work in the territory will return to normal."

"Cao Yi, you lead the staff to continue upgrading the city walls and building arrow towers."

"Duan, you lead some polar people to repair the damaged ground in our territory, as well as the collapsed arrow towers and sentry towers."

"Da Zhuang, you lead all the goblin laborers to the magic crystal mine dozens of kilometers away to collect more resources. I will send a few centaurs to protect you."

“For other staff, everything remains the same.”

Hundreds of staff members on the field glanced at each other and then responded loudly.

"Understood! Great Lord!"

After that, they dispersed according to their respective teams.

There were still more than 2,000 fighters left on the spot.

After eleven days of rest, everyone is ready and eager to join the battle.

Cao Xing ordered: "Today, Commander Bojie and Xiao, you will each lead a legion to deal with those enhanced ice nest monsters."

"Everyone else, continue to strengthen patrols near the territory!"

"Yes!"

Everyone dispersed.

Including the core combatants, they all dispersed.

At this moment, Cao Xing walked to the buffer zone of the territory, came to the bottom of the collapsed arrow towers, and conducted some research.

He squatted down and looked at it carefully.

It was discovered that under these collapsed buildings, there were pools of black and purple marks left behind.

It looked like it crushed some creature when it fell down, leaving traces of juice splashing out.

There were densely packed tiny tooth marks on the bases of those arrow towers, as if they had been madly gnawed by a group of creatures, which made people's scalps tingle.

Cao Xing looked thoughtful. "That is to say, the creatures in the mist are similar to the noise we heard. They are small but very aggressive creatures."

“And there are a lot of them!”

Of course, these are just Cao Xing’s guesses. After all, no one has actually seen the monster in the fog.

After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, there's no need to think so much. What I need to do now is to develop the territory and improve my strength."

"I hope that next time a fog disaster comes, I'll have enough power to protect myself!"

"If that guy dares to target the members of my territory, even if he is a god, I will make him pay the price!"

A hint of coldness appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Now, let's use the tavern recruitment and the Shining Throne together."

Soon, he arrived near the territory tavern and used the recruitment function that was used once every three days.

[Recruitment successful, recruitment information has been sent to creatures within 150 kilometers around the territory...]

...

It is worth mentioning that as his reputation continued to grow, the recruitment range of the tavern also skyrocketed from the original 50 kilometers to 150 kilometers.

Now every time we use the recruitment function, there will basically be a lot of new people joining.

Then, Cao Xing went to the lord's castle and used the "Shining Nova" special effect on the [Shining Throne].

"Buzz!"

Following a ray of light, it quickly rushed to a height of several thousand meters and fell towards a certain area in the southwest.

On the small map that had returned to normal, a dark area was quickly lit up.

Cao Xing took a quick look and found that this area was called [Wala Ruins], which was about seventy or eighty kilometers away from the territory.

As usual, he called over the Centaur Harati and gave the task of exploration to the saint.

Harati pressed her breastplate with her right hand to cover her fair chest, then bent slightly.

"The Centaur will carry out your orders, my lord."

Then, she held the Toad Palace in her hand, summoned a hundred centaurs and left the territory.

The sound of horse hooves faded away.

……

After Harati left, Cao Xing took out the [Tyrant's Skull (Orange)] and looked at the location of [Lloyd's Tomb] marked on it.

After entering the coordinates on the minimap, the map's position changed again, showing a dark area.

I don't know this, I was shocked when I saw it!
This area is actually more than 5,000 kilometers away from him!

It has already exceeded the territory of the Ice Crystal Kingdom.

"Oh my goodness, so far?"

"Unless you ride the Griffin King, it will take two or three days just to travel!"

Just as Cao Xing was about to send Assam out to explore the area, he suddenly discovered a different place.

He gradually enlarged the small map, then dragged the map and saw a continuous stretch of icebergs in the lower right corner, forming a white line.

The line shown above is called [Border of the Ice Crystal Kingdom].

Then drag along the border area to the lower right corner, and you can see a white city.

This is the place he had been to before - the main city of Yongshuang!
Cao Xing said happily: "That is to say, I can first use the teleportation array to go to Yongshuang Main City, and then go to this Lloyd's Tomb, which will shorten the distance a lot."

Speaking of Yongshuang Main City, Cao Xing thought of what happened to the old king.

"I don't know what the old king and Kro are talking about, and when they plan to start dealing with the Church of Light."

Just as he was thinking this, a system prompt appeared.

[Lieutenant General of the Ice Crystal Kingdom: Kro Bronson has applied to use the teleportation array to enter your territory. Do you agree? ]

...

Cao Xing was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Speak of Cao Cao, and he will appear!"

"This guy Kro is finally here!"

So, he simply clicked 'Agree' and quickly headed to the fourth ring area of ​​the territory.

...

...

at the same time.

Next to the territory's industrial zone, there is a large teleportation array with a diameter of more than ten meters.

This teleportation array began to emit a strong light.

"Buzz!"

The beam of light shot up into the sky, attracting a lot of people's attention.

A sturdy figure was looming in it.

When the beam of light completely dissipated, a majestic figure wearing white armor and with a big sword at his waist appeared.

It was the Kingdom's Vice Admiral, Crowe Bronson.

He saw Cao Xing waiting next to the teleportation array at a glance, and immediately strode forward and said.

"Lord Cao Xing, we meet again!"

Cao Xing also smiled and nodded, "General Kro, how are you?"

Kro looked around the territory and said, "This fog disaster is beyond imagination. It can be said to be the largest fog disaster we have experienced in the past hundred years."

"His Majesty is also worried about whether your territory will be damaged."

"So far, it seems that there has been no impact."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "It is indeed larger than we imagined. We have been trapped in the territory for the past ten days."

"But fortunately, we have enough resources in our territory, and we were able to barely cope with this fog disaster."

Cao Xing changed the subject and said, "By the way, General Kro, how is the discussion going regarding the matter we talked about last time?"

The general was not ambiguous and went straight to the point: "I came here this time to discuss the next action with you at the king's order."

"His Majesty says..."

Before Kro could finish his words, he was interrupted by Cao Xing.

"Let's go talk in the pub," he chuckled.

The general seemed to understand something and nodded, saying, "Okay." After that, Cao Xing took Kro towards the second ring area of ​​the territory.

As he walked, Kro looked around from time to time, with admiration in his eyes.

As a lieutenant general of a kingdom, although he had been to many powerful territories, some of them had refreshed his knowledge.

But Cao Xing's territory still made him feel bright.

Kro exclaimed: "Lord Cao Xing, I didn't expect that you have been in this world for less than five months, and your territory has already grown to such a scale."

"This is almost as big as the territories of the great lords in the center of the Western Continent."

Hearing this, Cao Xing showed a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Oh? General Kro means that there are still many powerful lords in the center of the Western Continent?"

Kro nodded slightly, "Yes, but they are not lords of another world, but territories built by some powerful people in this world."

Cao Xing became interested. "Can you tell me more about it, General Kro?"

"of course can."

Kro said slowly: "I think you should know that in the center of the Western Continent is the capital of the Human Empire. It is also the place where the human race is the strongest in the entire continent."

Cao Xing nodded. He did know something about the human empire.

"And in the center of the continent, there are still many powerful human beings."

"They have extremely strong power and social status, and are usually a noble or the offspring of a noble."

"According to the Empire's policy, they will go out when they reach adulthood and choose to establish their own territories."

"These territories have existed for anywhere from a few years to thousands of years."

"And the longer a territory exists, the larger it will be, and the stronger it will be."

"Some powerful people's territories are even hundreds or thousands of times larger than Yongshuang's main city!"

"It is said that in some territories, there are even legendary warriors."

After hearing this, Cao Xing also showed a look of surprise in his eyes.

This was the first time he had heard of these things.

A territory has existed for thousands of years and is even larger than the main city of Yongshuang!

How many people can live in it, and how many troops are there?
This scale cannot be called a territory, it can even be regarded as a small country.

At the same time, Cao Xing also realized that there was still a big gap between his territory and the territories of the truly powerful people in this world.

This also made Cao Xing yearn for the human empire area in the center of the continent, and wondered when he could explore it.

After all, these vast territories that have existed for thousands of years must have a lot for him to learn!

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the tavern.

Push the door open and enter.

Cao Xing and Kro found a table and sat down.

The bartender, Lachi, also seemed to realize that this officer was of extraordinary status.

So he took out the best wine in the bottom of the box - Adam Knight Castle Reserve Pinot Blanc!

"Snapped!"

The cork in the bottle was unscrewed.

The rich aroma of wine gradually spread in the tavern, causing Kro to take a few deep breaths.

Then, the bartender Lacy poured a glass for each of them.

Kro took a sip and exclaimed in admiration.

"Good wine!"

Cao Xing had a smile on his face, "Laqi, you go out first."

"I have something to discuss with General Crowe."

"Yes, your Excellency." Laci bowed slightly, then left respectfully.

Soon, he and Kro were the only ones left in the tavern.

Cao Xing took the initiative to speak: "General Kro, is it time to act?"

The general opposite drank a glass of wine without any change in his expression.

Then he nodded solemnly and said, "Lord Cao Xing is right. We can start the action now."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Because he has been waiting for this day for a long time!
At this time, Kro continued: "But before we take action, His Majesty the King asked me to ask you a question..."

"go ahead."

Crowe said: "For this operation, you can send out eleven masters to deal with the headquarters of the Church of Light."

"Do you have any spare energy to deal with other strongholds?"

Cao Xing seemed to realize something and confirmed: "What do you mean?"

General Kro nodded, then said, "I'll be frank, Lord Cao Xing."

"We have nearly 40 Church of Light strongholds in our hands, big and small."

"This time, His Majesty the King is ready to eliminate the cancer of the Church of Light all at once!"

"Not only will we demolish their headquarters, but we will also wipe out most of their branches and strongholds!"

Hearing this number, Cao Xing was slightly surprised.

Although the Church of Light is powerful, its forty strongholds definitely account for the majority of their power, not to mention important locations such as the headquarters.

If they can really be killed all together, it will definitely cause heavy losses to the Church of Light!
And more importantly, Cao Xing also has an S-level mission - to uproot.

By then, the progress will increase dramatically!

Not to mention 100%, but above 70% is still acceptable.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

At this time, General Kroll changed the subject.

"But... Lord Cao Xing, you also know that most of our Ice Crystal Kingdom's troops and many seventh-level warriors are currently being held up at the border by the Velen Kingdom."

"To deal with these strongholds, we need to dispatch a large number of elite soldiers and master-level warriors."

"If we mobilize too many troops, it might arouse suspicion from the Kingdom of Veron and alert them."

"So, if you can help us deal with a few strongholds, we can mobilize fewer people and the chances of success will increase a lot."

Cao Xing understood what the other party meant.

But he did not agree immediately, but asked: "How strong are these strongholds?"

Cross thought for a moment, then replied: "Each of these strongholds has different forces left behind, depending on their size."

"Not counting those miscellaneous soldiers below level 5, each stronghold has at least one leader of level 6 or above stationed there."

"If it's some important stronghold, there might even be seventh-order dominant creatures like me stationed there."

After listening to this, Cao Xing sighed inwardly: The power of the Church of Light is indeed huge!

Assuming that there is a master-level creature in each stronghold, there are at least more than forty masters here.

In addition to the combat power on the other side of the border, there are other undiscovered strongholds.

It is estimated that the master-level strongmen of the Church of Light can easily break the hundred mark.

Of course, the strength of these masters varies.

After all, anyone with the potential to be a sixth-order leader or above can be called a master.

Among them, there are commanders, overlords, etc., and the gap is huge.

However, no matter whether they are leaders or commanders, as long as they can be killed, it will be a huge benefit for Cao Xing!
After all, those souls and master-level power hearts are relatively urgently needed resources.

If possible, he even wanted to take down all these strongholds by himself.

But obviously, this is not very realistic.

After all, the military force in his territory could not deal with so many strongholds at the same time.

Moreover, if they fail, the Church of Light will surely evacuate quickly, and then the loss will outweigh the gain.

Seeing Cao Xing's hesitation, Kro thought he was the one who was afraid, so he said, "It doesn't matter if Lord Cao Xing doesn't have the spare power to deal with other strongholds."

"We can ask our allies for help. The Youlan Kingdom will send some masters to help."

"Of course, there are certain risks involved."

Cao Xing did not speak, but silently calculated his own fighting power in his mind.

According to what Kro said about these strongholds.

Any master from Cao Xing's side, leading a team of a hundred people, could overthrow it at the fastest speed.

However, his main goal is to deal with the headquarters of the Church of Light.

There must be at least eleven masters at the headquarters.

Cao Xing has eighteen master-level warriors at his disposal, not counting his pets.

In other words, with his current territorial strength, he can crush eighteen strongholds at the same time.

However... He Li and the others had discovered an important place before.

It is said that in addition to an important resource point of the Church of Light, there are three strongholds there.

In other words, there must be at least four leader-level creatures above level six, leading four legions to act simultaneously.

Then, three or four strong men must be left at home to guard the house.

So, Cao Xing said: "General Kro, in addition to dealing with these eleven strong men at the headquarters, I can also deal with ten strongholds."
