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

Chapter 640 The Surge in Population, Inheritance Rewards.

The townspeople of Frostwind were awestruck by the prosperity of this territory.

Even the young nobleman, Yoren Green, was deeply captivated by the sight before him.

His gaze swept over the orderly buildings, well-planned streets, and facilities within the territory, and an indescribable excitement welled up within him.

All of this demonstrates that this territory is different from other territories.

Compared to the barbaric development of other survivor lords, everything here is so orderly, pleasing to the eye, and full of a sense of security.

To put it simply, this place appears more civilized, like a city of hope rising from chaos.

Yoren clenched his fists, and a burning fire gradually ignited in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "This is the territory I've always dreamed of and longed to build."

"If I can settle down here and participate in the development of the territory, I will be able to put all the knowledge I have learned from the books to good use."

...

...

After taking the civilians into his territory, Cao Xing turned around and went back.

With nothing else to do, he went straight to the back garden area of ​​the territory.

At this moment, the two exquisitely crafted tree spirit sisters, as delicate as figurines, were still carefully tending to the flowers and plants, occasionally bending down to prune any excess branches.

Their bending over reveals a patch of snow-white skin and the outline of an inverted half-bowl.

Fortunately, this is the two girls' private area, and no one usually comes here.

Cao Xing's mind was once again filled with images of their stunning figures.

Then, he walked straight over.

Amid Juliet and Neve's gasps, they suddenly felt a strong hand around their waists, instantly gripping them tightly.

Then his legs left the ground, and his vision shifted.

Cao Xing carried the two beauties directly on his shoulders.

"Well……"

The two girls exclaimed at the same time.

At the same time, Cao Xing had already picked them up, one in each hand, and carried them into the room.

Little Neph rested on his shoulder, tilted her head, and asked, "My lord, where are you taking us?"

Cao Xing turned his head and chuckled, "Does Little Neph want to continue playing that kind of game?"

Upon hearing this, a joyful smile immediately appeared on her face, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice, saying, "Yes, yes! I want to play, I want to play!"

"My lord, Neph wants even more happiness!"

Meanwhile, her older sister Juliette, standing beside her, was blushing and remained silent.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there now."

Then, he went straight to the sisters' residence and kicked the door open.

Then, with a 'bang,' the door slammed shut again.

Soon, Juliet's low, suppressed sigh and Neve's clear laughter filled the room.

……

Two hours later.

A beautiful tree spirit with fair skin and a slender figure was sitting in a duck-sitting position, twisting nimbly.

It's as if there's endless energy in his body.

Even Cao Xing was now lying flat on the bed, letting the beauty on top of him do as she pleased.

This beauty is, of course, Neve.

As for her sister, she had already collapsed from exhaustion half an hour earlier.

At this moment, she was also turned to the side, looking at her younger sister with a shy expression.

Juliet seemed to notice Cao Xing's predicament and gently reminded him, "Nee... Neve... it's about time to stop."

"Let the lord rest for a while, he's tired..."

Upon hearing this, Neve stopped what she was doing.

Her fair hands supported Cao Xing's chest, her beautiful hair cascading down her shoulders, and her eyes shone with a clear and bright light.

"My lord, are you tired?"

At this moment, Cao Xing was looking up, less than 10 centimeters away from Nifu's delicate face.

You could even feel the longing and passion in the eyes of this tree spirit.

He really wanted to say: I'm not tired at all, I can keep fighting for a few more hours.

But the body's reaction is quite honest.

Just as Cao Xing was about to find an excuse to leave, a system notification appeared.

Clay Jones has requested permission to visit your territory. Do you agree?

……

A look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes. "Oh? Another person has arrived?"

Although they knew that Cao Yi had already begun to take action and was gathering refugees throughout the blizzard-stricken plains.

But this efficiency still exceeded his expectations.

Cao Xing placed his hands on Neph's slender waist and said, "Someone has come from outside the territory. I need to deal with it."

"I'll take you to play games again next time."

Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on Little Neve's face.

But she also knew that Cao Xing was dealing with serious business.

So he obediently nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, please take me to play games next time."

"It feels like Neve has learned so many new things this time!"

Cao Xing smiled, grasped her waist with both hands, and with a 'pop' sound, gently pulled her up.

Neve's body trembled slightly.

He quickly dressed and left the room under the watchful eyes of the two women.

As the door closed, Cao Xing slowly let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew... Little Neph's energy is truly terrifying..."

"It feels like she never gets tired and can come for two hours straight."

"Damn it, how could a dignified tenth-level dragon mage like me be unable to withstand such an attack?"

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Cao Xing had a fierce battle with Elena, Xia Yanni and other mature women in the morning.

If they are at their peak, it's hard to say who will be defeated first.

He shook his head, quickly cooling his mind and regaining his composure.

Cao Xing walked straight out of the territory.

This time, standing before him was a group of soldiers wearing standard armor, each bearing different wounds and bloodstains.

It's obvious that these must be soldiers from those towns.

After encountering the Blood Legion, the town was destroyed, and they were forced to begin their days of fleeing.

Cao Xing glanced at the group and saw that there were more than two hundred soldiers.

After systematic training, they have all mastered intermediate swordsmanship and skills such as the triple slash.

Although their strength is not great, if they can be brought into the territory and undergo a series of enhancements, they will soon have powerful combat capabilities.

Before Cao Xing could speak, a middle-aged man wearing dark blue armor limped out of the crowd.

He gripped the broken sword in his hand, bowed respectfully, and then solemnly said, "My esteemed lord, we are soldiers of Saihan City."

"The Blood Legion destroyed our city. We managed to escape, but now we are homeless."

"If you will take us in, we will continue to fight for you!"

A look of determination appeared in the eyes of the other soldiers as well!
Their previous defeats did not discourage them.

Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, ready to be thrown into battle at any moment.

Saihan City is one of the few large cities in the blizzard plains, and its size even surpasses that of Merlinde City.

Their lord was Earl Bauer, and the city had a permanent garrison of several thousand soldiers, as well as a transient population of hundreds of thousands.

Such large-scale cities naturally became the primary targets of the Blood Legion.

However, Merlind City was rescued by Cao Xing not long after the Bloody Rebellion began.

Because of its remote location, Saihan City was almost completely lost by the time they arrived with their men.

The civilians inside were also mostly slaughtered; it was truly a scene of corpses strewn everywhere.

According to the soldiers, Saihan City had become a bloodbath, with countless corpses lying haphazardly in pools of blood on the streets.

The blood on the ground had soaked up to the soles of the shoes and become incredibly sticky, making each step feel like walking through mud.

The air was thick with the stench of blood!

The city became uninhabitable for decades to come.

The Watchers leader summoned the Blood Legion, a 'sword' in an attempt to overthrow the ancient feudal system and establish a new order.

However, they overlooked the danger posed by this 'sharp sword'.

The Blood Legion is not merely a tool; they are a bloodthirsty monster that revels in slaughter!

Cao Xing gradually pulled himself out of his thoughts and turned his gaze to the middle-aged man.

[Soldier Captain: Fergus Lambert]

[Affiliation: Ice Crystal Kingdom]

[Level: Level 34]

[Potential: Leader]

"...Their attributes are not bad. In fact, the combat power and skills of these soldiers are about the same as those of the Ascalon warriors."

"As a basic type of soldier, they also play the role of cannon fodder on the battlefield."

"However, once you come to my territory, even cannon fodder can possess the power to slay gods!"

Cao Xing spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "Under the Blood Legion's frenzied actions, the Brushless Homeland was reduced to ruins. It is truly remarkable that you were able to survive."

"Welcome to my territory, brave warriors."

"This will become your new home, a place where you can regain your strength and glory."

After saying that, Cao Xing sent them a recruitment invitation.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers on the field exchanged glances, a hint of hesitation flashing in their eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"We are willing to join your territory, Your Majesty, the powerful and benevolent lord."

[Recruitment successful: Derwent/Malik... has joined your territory, territory population +235]

……

The moment the notification ended, the soldiers felt a surge of vitality and an attack power boost from the [Master-level Command Technique].

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

They looked up, staring blankly at Cao Xing, as if they had a lot to say.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "I think you have all felt it. A powerful force has appeared within your bodies. This is a blessing unique to our territory."

"This blessing will grant you combat power far exceeding that of your peers."

"Now, our warriors are wiping out the blood armies all over the world, and when they return, they will bestow upon you even more powerful blessings."

"From now on, you will no longer be cannon fodder on the battlefield, and you will no longer be helpless to run away when facing powerful enemies."

"Even the mighty Blood Legion will wail beneath your blades!"

"One defeat is nothing. As long as you have the courage to pick up your weapons again, even the strongest enemy will be defeated by us!"

"Let us fight for our territory, for our honor!"

Listening to Cao Xing's impassioned speech, a flame seemed to ignite in the eyes of these soldiers.

Before this, they had indeed fallen into deep despair and confusion after their defeat, just as Cao Xing had said.

Unlike soldiers from some kingdoms who, after defeat, choose to slaughter civilians in villages to vent their anger and regain their confidence.

But they also felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness, as if they could no longer muster the courage to face the enemy.

Even with my eyes closed, all I could see were those monsters, reeking of blood and with crazed expressions!

The Blood Legion has become their nightmare!

Now, their fear has been dispelled and their fighting spirit has been rekindled!
The soldiers shouted in unison.

"For honor, we will fight to the death for you!"

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, "Very good. Now you will all go into the territory first and temporarily take on the defense work of the territory."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

After he finished speaking, the soldiers all entered the territory.

Looking at the growing population in his territory, Cao Xing exclaimed, "Indeed, the Bloody Rebellion is a terrible crisis for the whole world."

"But since it is a crisis, there are dangers, but also opportunities."

"If the survivors can seize this opportunity and recruit these fleeing villagers and soldiers, the territory's population will increase dramatically."

Of course, no matter what, Cao Xing is the biggest winner.

After all, his strength is undeniable; throughout the entire Ice Crystal Kingdom, there is no region more prosperous and safer than this territory.

As soon as word gets out, a large number of refugees will flock to his territory.

Just as Cao Xing had predicted.

In one afternoon, he received three waves of visit requests.

Among these people were wandering mercenaries, villagers in distress, and defeated soldiers.

There were even nobles who had fallen on hard times.

There are more than 500 people in total.

Cao Xing accepted all of them without hesitation, taking them all into his territory.

[Recruitment Successful: Elsa/Rogers/Sed of the Silver Fox Mercenary Group... have joined your territory, territory population +205...]

...

Seeing the notification, Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction again, "Very good, we've recruited nearly eight hundred more people today."

"However, of these eight hundred people, only three hundred are combatants; the rest are ordinary villagers and townspeople."

"At this rate, we have a sufficient number of staff."

This result was exactly what Cao Xing had expected.

After all, prior to this, the number of combat personnel in his territory had always far exceeded the number of staff.

In addition to military strength, a powerful territory also needs sufficient logistical support.

Furthermore, I need to expand my territory for the third time, which requires a large number of staff.

After all, for Cao Xing now, increasing the number of combat personnel is a very simple matter.

He still has tens of millions of battle merits to squander, which can easily be exchanged for more than 10,000 recruitment scrolls.

There's no need to worry about the number of combat units at all.

With that in mind, Cao Xing returned to his territory and arranged for the newly joined soldiers and mercenaries to form teams and patrols.

As for the villagers, they began working under the guidance of Liu Zhuang and others.

Most of the staff were assigned to positions on the city wall, while the women were assigned to the canteen kitchen to be responsible for the territory's food supply.

Another group of younger-looking individuals were assigned to the agricultural areas of the territory to participate in the planting and care of crops.

Among them was the young baron of Frostwind Town—Joren Green.

Cao Xing also paid the most attention to this person, after all, he was a talent with the ability to [master advanced management] and the gift of [intelligence].

"Tap..."

After stepping across the bluestone-paved ground, Cao Xing arrived at the agricultural area.

At this moment, the young man was clumsily watering and fertilizing the crops and pruning the grapevines.

Although his movements were clumsy, his expression was extremely serious, and he treated the plants in front of him with exceptional care.

It was as if every plant was related to his future.

He was so engrossed in his work that he didn't even notice the lord's arrival.

Cao Xing stopped and watched for a while, then nodded slightly.

"This Yoren is not a bad person."

"After a period of further training, we can try to invest resources in him and nurture him."

After all, [Advanced Management Mastery] is also a secondary profession skill, and it can also be improved using proficiency emblems.

Cao Xing could easily exchange the remaining 4 [Master-level Emblems] in the Battle Merit Shop to directly upgrade his secondary profession skill to Expert or even Master level!

Then he left to inspect the work of the other new employees.

Time flew by, and it was evening.

……

at the same time.

In the lineage of angels.

Liu Muxue and Bai Zhi have both successfully passed the fifth round of trials.

They emerged from the passage of light and darkness and merged into everything.

All the illusions before my eyes vanished.

"It's finally approved."

Liu Muxue breathed a slight sigh of relief, her eyes showing a hint of fatigue, as if she had just gone through a long and intense battle.

Bai Zhi, standing beside her, nodded slightly, her face somewhat pale.

It was clear that she was exhausted.

This fifth round of trials was more difficult than expected.

After all, this is not a test of the challengers' fighting ability, but a test of their mentality and endurance.

Even though Liu Muxue and Bai Zhi are both determined individuals, the trial lasted far longer than expected.

They spent the entire night traversing that illusionary passage, encountering all sorts of incredibly realistic scenes.

Even if you can stay true to yourself at the beginning.

But later on, those illusions became more and more numerous, like waves crashing one after another, seemingly without end.

Those illusory visions constantly assaulted their minds, tearing down their inner defenses.

It makes it impossible to tell whether you're dreaming or in reality...

Fortunately, they all succeeded in the end.

Liu Muxue and Bai Zhi looked up, exchanged a glance, and a sense of relief and understanding appeared in their eyes.

Although this trial was difficult, it was also a test of one's character.

After enduring a fierce onslaught of illusions, the two women's wills seemed to have been elevated.

At the same time, a system notification appeared in front of them.

[Congratulations! Challengers, you have successfully passed the fifth trial of the Angelic Legacy: the Trial of Light.]

In this trial, you confronted your most vulnerable parts and proved that you can resist the temptations of the devil.

In recognition of your unwavering will, the angelic legacy will bestow upon you a special reward.
