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

Chapter 583 Important Intelligence: Cao Xing's Plan. (5000)

At that moment, she held her face in her hands, overjoyed, and cried tears of happiness.

His shoulders were trembling slightly.

Even Cao Xing and Isabel, who were standing next to him, had gentle smiles on their faces.

Gwyneth regaining her voice was good news for them.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "You've just regained your voice, so don't rush to speak."

"Let's wait a couple of days to get used to it before we talk about it."

Hearing his concerned words, the bard's eyes filled with emotion.

She nodded gently and said, "Yes, Your Excellency."

"Thank you, and thank you to this kind priest of holy light, for helping me restore my voice."

"Gwyneth will forever remember your kindness..."

[Your territory member: Gwyneth's loyalty has increased, current loyalty: 100]

(Loyalty is maxed out; you can now issue any command to it.)
...

Cao Xing smiled faintly, then waved his hand and said, "It's alright, go and rest now."

"Yes."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards her room.

However, compared to the loneliness and desolation of the past few days, his silhouette now carries a hint of joy and happiness.

After the bard left, the Holy Light Sage asked, "Lord, is there anything else you wish to instruct us to do?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "That's all."

"However, although you have now become a legend, before that, you need to hide your aura and not reveal it easily."

Isabel paused for a moment, then seemed to understand something.

As a member who has followed Cao Xing for so long, she can be said to know her lord quite well.

He never reveals his true strength openly!

And once he shows his strength, there's usually someone who's going to be in trouble!
Now, he conceals his legendary combat power.

Clearly, Cao Xing is probably plotting against someone again!
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Isabel's face.

As a sage of holy light, she also approved of Cao Xing's actions.

If it weren't for his constant caution, they might have been discovered by the Church of Light long ago, and things wouldn't have developed to this point.

"I understand, my lord."

"Don't worry, I will cooperate fully with your plan."

After saying that, Isabel turned around and left.

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback, wondering to himself, "What plan? What did she figure out?"

He shook his head and glanced at the time again; it was already past 3 a.m.

The monster siege consisted of 11 rounds of battle, plus the rewards, and Isabel's breakthrough to Legendary status, which took more than three hours.

"It will be dawn in two hours, I'd like to go back and rest now."

He stretched and loosened his muscles.

Just as Cao Xing was preparing to return to the lord's castle.

Suddenly, I felt a strong gust of wind rushing toward the back of my head!
As a level 100 mage, his perception of danger is now quite acute.

Just as the attack was about to hit him, he slightly turned his body and dodged it.

"Tuk!"

A dry tree branch was stuck directly into the wall of the house in front.

"Tree branches?"

Clearly, the other party did not actually intend to attack them, but rather wanted to convey some kind of message.

Cao Xing turned around and looked out of the territory.

This tree branch was launched from several kilometers away.

Does this mean I can leave?

"Who is this person?"

A figure gradually appeared in my mind, but I couldn't be sure.

Cao Xing fell into thought.

Clearly, it would be somewhat dangerous for him to go out at this time.

If what he imagined wasn't outside, but rather an ambush by the Watchers, then the situation would be very bad.

After hesitating for a while, Cao Xing decided to go out and take a look.

Now he can be described as highly skilled and daring!

With the [Demon Codex] in hand, one can summon a legendary demon at any time.

Isabel, who lives in the territory, can also come to provide support in a short time.

The presence of two legendary combatants gave him ample confidence.

"Damn it, if there really is a Watcher lying in ambush on me, I'm prepared to take down another Legendary today!"

Then, with a flap of the wings on its back, it instantly shot out more than a thousand meters.

Between two flaps of its wings, it reached a range three kilometers away from the territory.

Ahead, birch trees, four or five meters tall, grew in the snow; this was a small grove of trees randomly generated by the system.

Because of its relatively remote location, it was not affected by their recent battle.

Cao Xing seemed to realize something and stood still, waiting.

A moment later, a familiar figure emerged from the grove of trees.

He wore a long, gray-blue robe, and the brim of his hat covered his face, giving him an air of vicissitude.

The man lowered his head, turning his back to Cao Xing.

A deep voice rang out, "The Watchers have taken control of the capital city of the Kingdom of Velen and are currently conducting a ritual to summon the Blood Legion..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing frowned slightly. "The main city of the Kingdom of Velen? The Blood Legion Summoning Ceremony?"

My thoughts raced through my mind.

Soon, Cao Xing realized what was going on.

I recently destroyed the Church of Light, while the Kingdom of Velen and the Church of Light have always been in a cooperative relationship.

Now that the Church of Light has been destroyed, the God of Light has lost the means to contact the Kingdom of Velen.

In other words, the Kingdom of Velen is no longer qualified to cooperate with the Watchers.

Therefore, in order to hasten the arrival of the Blood Legion, the Watchers are preparing to take action directly from the Kingdom of Velen!
Thinking of this, his gaze gradually became serious.

Cao Xing asked again, "How many Watchers are there in the current Kingdom of Velen?"

“The Watchers’ leader, and nine elders, including some heroes,” the other party replied briefly.

Hearing this number, I was startled again.

He already knew about those Watcher Elders; they all possessed legendary-level combat power.

To Cao Xing's surprise, their leader was also there.

This person's strength is currently unknown, but conservatively speaking, he possesses at least demigod-level combat power!

In other words, the current main city of the Kingdom of Velen has one demigod and nine legendary-level powerhouses!
With such terrifying power, the Kingdom of Velen truly had no chance of resisting.

Cao Xing said solemnly, "I understand. Thank you for your information."

At this point, Cao Xing paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Is there anything... I can help you with?"

"I've become very strong now. If you have any unspeakable difficulties, you can tell me, and perhaps I can help you."

Upon hearing this, the figure in the gray robe trembled slightly.

He clenched his fists, as if making a difficult decision.

But in the end, he still didn't say it.

"Ugh……"

He sighed softly, then shook his head.

"I can't stay here too long. The Blood Legion is extremely dangerous. If it's within my power, it's best to interrupt their ritual."

"If it doesn't work, don't force it; your own safety is the most important thing."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the woods behind him.

The moon hung high in the night sky, casting his long shadow on the white snow.

That lonely and frail figure looked particularly forlorn against the backdrop of the snow, as if it had borne a heavy burden.

Cao Xing watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance and raised his voice again, saying, "Be sure to be careful."

"If you encounter any difficulties, I will help you whenever you need it."

The other person waved their hand, as if saying a final goodbye.

...

...

Upon returning to his territory, a serious expression gradually appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

The information brought back by this Watcher member is quite important.

Not only were the Watchers' current location and what they were doing determined, but their strength was also ascertained. One demigod, nine legendaries!

Cao Xing must tell the old king about this as soon as possible and then discuss countermeasures with him.

So he pressed the communication device on his ear and spoke directly.

"General Kro, I have something very important to discuss with His Majesty the King!"

At that moment, Crowe was asleep when he was suddenly awakened by Cao Xing's voice.

But I felt no aversion at all.

Because he could also hear the seriousness in Cao Xing's tone.

"Please wait a moment, I will go to find His Majesty the King immediately."

After saying that, Kro quickly left the mansion and headed as fast as he could for the depths of the royal palace.

Cao Xing had mentioned to the old king before that he wanted to give him a communication device so that he could stay in touch at any time.

But the king was unwilling to accept it, seemingly worried that Cao Xing would use the communication device to eavesdrop on him.

Cao Xing rolled his eyes and didn't press the matter.

Soon, Kro contacted the old king.

His weathered voice rang in my ears.

"Lord Cao Xing, please speak."

It was clear that the king had just woken up from his sleep.

He doesn't have many years left to live, and he needs a lot of time to rest every day to recover his physical strength and energy.

Under normal circumstances, even if war breaks out on the border, no one dares to disturb him.

But Cao Xing is different; in the previous collaborations, he has already demonstrated considerable strength.

Both Crowe and the old king took his news very seriously.

At the same time, Cao Xing quickly relayed the information he had obtained, as well as the fact that the Blood Legion would appear in seven days.

After listening, the old king remained silent for a moment, then exclaimed, "Lord Cao Xing, this is indeed a very important piece of intelligence."

"As far as I know, the Wardens need to open a Blood Portal in order to summon the Blood Legion."

"During this period, they needed to sacrifice a large number of living beings."

"In other words, the summoning ritual of the Watchers has reached a critical moment."

Cao Xing sighed inwardly, just as he had thought.

The old king sighed as well, then said, "However... there's nothing we can do..."

"The Watchers have poured so much power into the capital city of the Kingdom of Velen that it would be impossible to thwart their plans unless a large number of legendaries were deployed."

Cao Xing replied, "This is also another reason why I contacted His Majesty the King."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a tentative question was asked: "Lord Cao Xing, what do you mean?"

Cao Xing: "Now that the Watchers' plan has reached a critical moment, shouldn't we take the initiative and use all our strength to directly disrupt their plan?"

"Otherwise, once the Wardens actually summon the Blood Legion, the situation will be even more unfavorable for us."

"Why not take advantage of the current situation, while they are under restrictions, and launch a lightning attack on them!"

The old king fell into deep thought once again.

After a moment, he slowly said, "If we strike now, we can certainly inflict heavy damage on the Watcher by taking them by surprise, but the chances of success are rather small..."

"According to you, there are at least nine legendary-level powerhouses in the main city, as well as their leader, who is a demigod-level powerhouse."

"Even if we can barely hold our own against those legends, we simply don't have the power to deal with demigods..."

At this point, the old king sighed.

Compared to the vast difference between heroes and legends.

For legends, demigods are also an insurmountable barrier.

Being a demigod is equivalent to taking a half-step into the realm of gods.

In other words, they are all beings qualified to become gods.

And what are gods?
They possess boundless power and are worshipped by countless beings. It is unimaginable how powerful beings of this level are!
The difference between demigods and gods is that demigods do not have divine status.

Cao Xing also fell into deep thought.

Clearly, the operational plan of the Kingdom of Velen is very difficult, as their combat strength is somewhat insufficient.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Cao Xing, and he had another idea.

Because of the information the old king had given him last time, two Watcher Legends had been severely wounded by him and would not be able to recover for several months.

He should be recuperating somewhere at this time.

If we could launch a surprise attack at this moment, we might be able to take down these two legends on the spot and weaken the Watchers' strength!

But Cao Xing quickly rejected the idea.

"No, the Watcher who informed me didn't tell me the location of these two legendaries."

"Either, the place they are in is extremely dangerous."

"Or perhaps, he himself doesn't know..."

"So this idea is also not feasible."

This put both plans at a standstill.

But... Cao Xing didn't want to let such a good opportunity slip by.

So he said tentatively, "Your Majesty, please tell me the truth."

"The Wardens are so strong, and with the Blood Legion also on the team, do you have any plans to deal with them?"

"Or are they really just waiting inside the palace for someone to come knocking on their door?"

Upon hearing this question, the old king remained silent for a moment before replying.

"Of course not, sitting and waiting to die is the most foolish idea."

"In fact, I have already formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Orchid, the Kingdom of Gray Haze, and the Kingdom of Kunard, making a total of four kingdoms."

"Besides our Ice Crystal Kingdom, these three kingdoms are the ones that survived the last Blood Legion War."

"This time, the Watchers chose to summon the Blood Legion near us, which means that once the Blood Legion appears, our four kingdoms will be the first to be affected."

Cao Xing's mind began to race.

The Four Kingdoms? They certainly have some ability to contend with the Watchers, but if you add the Blood Legion to that list, they definitely won't be able to keep up.

He asked again, "Your Majesty, how many legends do your four kingdoms have combined?"

The old king paused for a moment, then replied, "Seven."

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback, "Seven Venerables?"

"Yes, these kingdoms have existed for much longer than the Ice Crystal Kingdom. Although they do not have semi-divine artifacts, they have more legends than we do."

"Moreover... this is only their publicly known legendary power. No one knows if there are other legendary old guys hidden deep within these kingdoms."

"However, if we really want to start taking action, all seven of us legends are capable of being mobilized."

A look of realization dawned on Cao Xing's eyes.

He quickly began to think to himself.

"Seven legendary warriors, plus the old king's semi-divine artifact, should be able to hold off the nine legendary warriors on the Watchers' side for a while!"

"If we also consider my two legendary combatants, the chances of successfully disrupting the Watchers' plan are quite high!"

He was about to speak when the old king's next words poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Lord Cao Xing, although our four kingdoms combined can possess nearly double-digit legendary combat power."

"But...where is their leader?"

"We currently lack the power to deal with demigods."

Cao Xing did not answer the question, but instead asked, "Your Majesty, since the demigods are so powerful, how were they defeated when they joined forces with the Blood Legion last time?"

The old king replied, "The reason the Blood Legion was defeated last time was because the Human Empire sent out demigod-level powerhouses, and more than one at that."

"In addition, there were some problems within the Blood Legion at the time, which is why they were defeated in one fell swoop by the powerful forces sent by the Human Empire."

Cao Xing nodded in realization: "And this time? Didn't you contact the Human Empire beforehand?"

The old king sighed, "In fact, as soon as we learned of the Watchers' return, our kingdoms united and appealed to the human empire for help."

"However...we have not received any reply to this day."

"Moreover, the ancient teleportation array established between the Human Empire and our allies is unilaterally closed, as if the Empire is refusing to communicate with other kingdoms."

"We don't know what happened in this situation..."

"Perhaps the human empire has also encountered some serious trouble..."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Cao Xing frowned slightly.

According to the old king's speculation, this is very likely true.

The human empire must have encountered some problems as well.

The strength of an empire is far beyond what these kingdoms can match; at least, based on what the old king said, there is more than one demigod-level expert.

Then there must be even more legendary-level powerhouses!
Even such a behemoth has encountered trouble; the waters of this continent are truly deep!
"And this also means that until the human empire restores contact, we can only rely on ourselves to find a way to deal with the demigods..."

"But how do we deal with it?"

Cao Xing fell into deep thought.

A moment later, a flash of inspiration struck him!
