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

Chapter 820 Recruitment! The Bloodwing Cavalry Army!
Some lords said in the chat channel: "Don't you know about splitting up your forces, exploring the Dream Fragments on one side and participating in the Golden Skaker's treasure hunt on the other?"

"What kind of lord are you if you can't even handle multi-front warfare?"

Upon hearing the lords' reminders, some of the survivors realized this as well.

They all looked at their teammates, searching for someone they could entrust with important responsibilities.

Meanwhile, another group of lords remained frowning.

"That being said, even if we delegate the combat missions in the Dream Fragment to the subordinate lords, there still aren't many high-end combat forces left in the territory. Will they still be able to participate in this new event?"

"Yes... This time when the [Dream Fragment] opened, we brought in most of our combat power from our territory. Those left outside are just ordinary soldiers below level 50..."

"According to the system's description, these Skrats are not just any ordinary soldiers; they seem to be quite powerful, and it would be difficult to deal with them without a sufficient number of elite troops."

"Besides, dying outside means real death, the price is too high, we need to think about it carefully..."

Not all lords can be like Cao Xing, who can send out any strong person from his territory who has the strength to stand alone.

Most lords currently possess enough combat strength and resources to support their participation in only one event.

Just as they were at their wits' end, one of the survivors suddenly sighed.

"Damn! I'm so envious of the guys in the first region. They have Cao Xing, the big shot, speed-clearing the [Dream Fragment] ahead of them, so they can just lie around and get the rewards. Now they can free up more people to participate in the new event."

Upon hearing this, the survivors from other regions realized the same thing and echoed it.

"Yeah, the guys in Region 1 are having a blast..."

"Is this what it feels like to have a top-tier big shot protecting you? I'm so envious!"

"Damn it... why wasn't I moved to Region 1?"

For a time, countless lords felt extremely jealous and envious of the survivors in District 1!

The survivors in District 1 felt incredibly fortunate at this moment.

They said it in their respective small groups.

"Luckily, we're all from the top ten regions. We're really lucky this time."

"Yes, with him leading the way, he has brought us countless benefits."

"Brothers, let's not waste the opportunity created by Boss Cao Xing. Let's hurry up and try to get the rewards from both events!"

"Go, go, go!"

In an instant, many of the surviving lords sprang into action once again.

...

...

Meanwhile, in his territory, Cao Xing looked at the long list of system notifications, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

"I thought this was just a small event, but it turns out even legendary equipment can drop..."

"This reward is beyond my expectations!"

Although he knew that the probability of obtaining legendary equipment in this event was probably lower than finding a needle in a haystack!
After all, you can tell from the refresh probability published by the system.

The probability of encountering the Rat King, Ziglar, is only one in ten thousand.

Moreover, this monster must be extremely powerful and very difficult to kill.

Furthermore, even if you successfully defeat the Rat King, the equipment or items that drop are random.

You might kill a hundred Rat Kings and still not get a legendary item.

Therefore, the system's special announcement of the rewards is probably just a gimmick to attract more lords to participate in the event.

With that in mind, Cao Xing didn't care too much about whether he could obtain legendary equipment, but instead opened the map to take a look.

However, the map above looks unremarkable and does not mark the locations of wild monsters like it did during the previous 'Claw of Droma' event.

Cao Xing pondered, "This event not only failed to announce the daily refresh count, but also provided no indication on the map..."

"Even the location of those Skrats needs to be explored by sending people out ourselves."

"In other words, everything depends entirely on ability and a bit of luck."

After all, although the survivors are now stronger and move much faster.

However, finding randomly spawning Skrats on the vast snowfield is still quite difficult.

In such a completely random situation, it is very likely that even if you go out and search for a whole day, you may not be able to find a single 'Silver Skullcrawler'.

Not to mention the 'Golden Skaarl' and 'Rat King Jinkra', which have even lower spawn rates.

Of course, if you're incredibly lucky and 'Rat King Jinkra' spawns right near your territory, then just ignore what I said.

This is practically a reward delivered right to your door by the system!
"However, I could try a large-scale search."

"At my current speed, it would only take me a few minutes to fly across the entire snowy plains."

"As long as enough search teams are dispatched, a large number of Skrats can be found in a short period of time."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing smiled.

"It seems it's time to deploy another part of my air force, the Griffin Legion."

These griffins were originally the flying mounts of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and even the Nightmare Archer class would ride them in aerial combat.

However, due to the no-fly zone of the Dream Fragment, all flight abilities are disabled.

The sheer size of these griffon griffins actually became a burden.

Therefore, Cao Xing sent them all back to his territory.

Now is the time to put them to good use.

With their high mobility and keen eyesight, these 'Gale Griffins' can quickly explore every corner of the Stormy Snowfield!
In addition to the Griffin Legion, Cao Xing also had a large number of flying unit recruitment scrolls that he hadn't used.

It was the [Bloodwing Rider] that he redeemed during the last Blood Expansion!
"During the last Blood expansion, I practically emptied the entire Battle Points shop."

"I exchanged a total of 16,000 recruitment scrolls and put them in my backpack."

"Among them are 10,000 Bloodstained Barbarian Recruitment Scrolls, 5,000 Bloodstained Mage Scrolls, and 1,000 Bloodwing Flying Rider Scrolls..."

"However, due to the population cap and food consumption, I have not been able to recruit them."

"Now that my lord's castle has reached level 18, and I still have nearly 10,000 people to spare, I can try summoning those Bloodwing Riders first."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing looked at the Valkyrie who was waiting silently to the side and said, "Let's go, come out with me first."

"Yes, Master."

Marlena bowed slightly, then followed Cao Xing out of the lord's castle with firm steps.

When the two arrived at the square in the center of the territory.

Cao Xing casually waved his hand and took out a full thousand blood-red scrolls from his backpack.

The scrolls were covered with dark red blood patterns, which gleamed with an eerie light in the morning light.

A system prompt then appeared.

[Consume 1000 Recruitment Scrolls to summon an elite creature: Bloodwing Flying Rider (Tier 5)?]

[Note! Each Bloodwing Rider will occupy 3 population slots (Knights occupy 2 population slots, and mounts occupy 1 population slot).]

...

Cao Xing said with some surprise, "Huh? It's also a unit that comes with its own mount. It seems pretty good."

For him, it would be easier to recruit knights with [riding proficiency].

By simply traveling to nearby kingdoms, one can quickly attract a large number of knights.

However, equipping them with flying mounts on a large scale would be somewhat difficult.

As we can see from the previous experience of taming the griffin, any flying creature is unruly and extremely difficult to tame.

Now, this group of Bloodwing Flying Cavalry, like Assam, joined the territory with their own mounts, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Moreover, with the added blessing of Cao Xing's [Eternal Power], they will be able to quickly enter the battlefield and unleash considerable combat power.

With that thought in mind, he nodded in satisfaction and clicked 'OK'.

The next moment, all one thousand recruitment scrolls in his hand disappeared, turning into a cloud of blood mist that rose up and then vanished.

For the first two seconds, it seemed as if nothing had happened, and the surroundings were perfectly calm.

In the third second, Cao Xing suddenly heard a series of dense whooshing sounds coming from above.

"Splash... splash..."

It looked as if a large number of flying creatures were flapping their wings high in the sky.

At the same time, a strong smell of blood kept wafting through the air.

In particular, after he took the [Demon Hound's Scent Elixir], his perception of smell became even more acute.

The thick smell of blood seemed to be mixed with a trace of ancient and decaying odor!

Immediately afterwards, Cao Xing saw a group of vampire knights riding giant bats emerge from the blood mist and then rapidly approach the territory at an extremely terrifying speed!

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Like streaks of blood-red lightning slicing through the sky, the scene was quite shocking.

As they approached, Cao Xing was able to clearly see the appearance of these Bloodwing Knights.

The mounts beneath them were a group of giant bats with wingspans exceeding five meters, their bodies as black as ink, with only the edges of their wing membranes glowing with a dark red blood-red light!
The knight above was clad in scarlet armor, with a pale yet handsome face, and a menacing, blood-red bow mounted on his back!
Seeing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise again: "Oh? It's actually a group of archer units?" "That's not bad."

He originally thought that he would summon melee knights like the Silver Hand Knights or Frostwolf Knights, who use spears or swords.

But what has appeared now is a group of ranged knights who can use bows and arrows.

Moreover, it must be said that only knights who use bows or other ranged weapons can bring out the greatest advantage of flying mounts.

After all, in the sky, their combat range extends directly from a two-dimensional plane to three-dimensional space, increasing their flexibility many times over.

Using ranged attacks at this point would be a nightmare for the enemy!

"Crack-!"

With a series of synchronized landings, the Bloodwing Knights maneuvered their mounts to land on the open ground in front of the castle.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they had been rehearsed beforehand.

The giant bats, on the other hand, folded their enormous wings and lay quietly on the ground.

The knights scanned their surroundings with cold eyes, their gazes filled with scrutiny and vigilance.

When their gazes fell on Cao Xing, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"I never expected... that the lord we're to serve this time is a human..."

The leading knight commander murmured in a low voice, his tone clearly showing his resistance.

The other knights also looked somewhat uneasy.

It's clear they are unwilling to pledge allegiance to a human lord.

Cao Xing was not surprised. After summoning the knights and seeing their race, he was already mentally prepared.

After all, in the historical records of this continent, humans and vampires seem to have been at odds.

According to Binglan's earlier account, the story of 'Tian Shu Sacred Mountain' is recorded there.

At that time, the vampires, the Nara, and other ancient races formed a united army to attack the human race, and almost conquered the human empire.

Later, as the being carrying twelve divine rings awakened, it killed and crippled their clan leader in one fell swoop.

After these ancient clans suffered heavy losses, they gradually retreated into the background.

This established the human race's dominant position in the western continent.

It can be said that humans and vampires have a long-standing feud.

It is indeed difficult to accept that they should pledge allegiance to a human lord.

Cao Xing didn't offer any further explanation, but instead said directly, "I know what you're thinking, and I also know about the past grievances between humans and vampires."

"but!"

His voice suddenly rose a notch, and his eyes became extremely serious.

"This is not the Western Continent from thousands of years ago, but my territory, Cao Xing's territory."

"Here, everyone is treated equally, whether they are human or vampire."

"I hope you will forget your past grievances."

"After all, you were already dead the moment you entered the summoning space."

"The reason you are able to stand here now is because you have given up the past and gained a second chance to live, which is equivalent to starting everything anew."

"If anyone disagrees with my human identity at this time, or has any other opinions..."

At this point, he paused.

A chilling and sharp gaze swept across the faces of every knight, and the pressure of a legendary expert pressed down like a mountain!

When Cao Xing's gaze fell upon them, the group of Bloodwing Knights felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave in an instant, and a strong chill permeated their entire bodies!
The chill was even more intense than the cold they experienced when they died; it seemed to penetrate to the very marrow of their bones!
An invisible pressure caused all one thousand knights and their mounts to freeze in place, not daring to even breathe.

It should be noted that Cao Xing is now considered a legendary-level powerhouse.

Moreover, it's a hidden class: Eternal Frozen Monarch.

The sheer aura emanating from them was something these fifth-tier Bloodwing Knights couldn't withstand.

He then continued, "If anyone has any objections or wants to withdraw, please raise them now."

"We'll talk about it later, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

"Do you understand everything?"

Below, thousands of Bloodwing Knights trembled, stunned into place by the terrifying aura emanating from Cao Xing.

They all lowered their heads, and the entire square fell silent, presenting an eerie stillness.

After a moment of silence, the leading knight commander slowly raised his head, as if he had made some difficult decision.

He stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and placed his right hand on his chest, saying, "My mighty lord, you possess great power and a prosperous territory."

"Your demonstrated strength proves that you are worthy of our unwavering loyalty."

"The Seventeenth Blood Clan Squadron, Wings of Blood, pledges its loyalty to you."

At the same time, the other knights also knelt on one knee and lowered their proud heads to Cao Xing.

"Honorable human lord, we pledge our allegiance to you."

Thousands of vampire knights swore an oath simultaneously, their voices unified, as if they were one.

Even the giant bats behind them bowed down, emitting whimpering sounds of submission.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction as he watched this scene.

Sure enough, having increased strength saved him countless troubles.

Even this group of Bloodwing Knights, under the intimidation of his strength, obediently submitted.

Immediately afterwards, he casually checked the attributes of a Bloodwing Knight.

...

After reviewing the attributes of this knight and bat, a look of satisfaction flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.

Compared to Assam's initial attributes and skills when he was first summoned, this group of Bloodwing Knights is clearly much stronger.

After all, they are considered one of the high-ranking units of the vampire race.
