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

Chapter 831 The completion ceremony of the giant city, the excited Starfire Legion!

A man with long, flowing hair and a melancholic air rushed over.

"Lord Lord!"

The voice could be heard even before the person arrived.

The two followed the sound and saw a familiar figure.

It was the painter Edward who, in recent months, was appointed by Cao Xing as the chief engineer for the construction of the giant city.

It's clear that the intense work over the past few months has made the painter noticeably thinner.

However, he also became much more energetic, his face became more angular, and his melancholy eyes, unique to artists, sparkled with excitement.

When he came to his side, Cao Xing composed himself and said, "Edward, is something the matter?"

The young man stopped, panting, and excitedly reported, "My lord, there is important progress to report!"

"After several months of construction, our megacity is basically completed. Now, only the city hall is yet to be topped out."

"Mr. Cao said that it will be officially completed tomorrow!"

He pointed to the outer city in the distance, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's heart stirred slightly.

He was preparing to execute the plan tomorrow, but then the giant city also needs to be completed tomorrow?
Isn't this a coincidence?
However, he did not show much emotion.

Since we've caught up with it, let's go with the flow.

"Take me over and have a look."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

Edward quickly turned around and jogged towards the outer ring of the territory.

They passed through residential areas and industrial areas, and then arrived at the buffer zone.

After climbing the granite steps to the top of the [Heroic-level city wall], which is tens of meters high, a magnificent scene suddenly appears before you.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a huge and bustling city suddenly came into view.

The city is filled with buildings of various styles, clearly divided into fixed areas according to their functions.

A Gothic-style tower, a Baroque-style town hall, simple and practical industrial buildings, and more...

Looking around, the city streets are crisscrossed, like an intricate chessboard.

The main road is 20 meters wide, enough to accommodate six horse-drawn carriages side by side.

Along both sides of the street, there are various beautifully decorated shops waiting for merchants to move in.

The magical streetlights have been installed and are ready to illuminate the night with their magical glow.

Outside the city, a frost-white wall more than 20 meters high completely surrounds this giant city with a diameter of seven kilometers.

The city walls were equipped with numerous Neros cannons with astonishingly large muzzles, as well as Frost Catapults radiating intense cold and Destroyer Crossbows, among other war tools.

Above, there were also rows of enormous war golems patrolling back and forth, acting as guards.

Along the inner side of the city wall, a towering arrow tower stands at intervals.

The city's defense system exudes an aura of invincibility, making one involuntarily think: "Living in this city must be very safe..."

In the northwest corner of the city, there is an artificial river about three or four meters wide that flows from the inner city to the outside of the city.

Large agricultural areas line both sides of the river, and tender shoots of newly sown crops can already be seen between the neat rows of fields.

Moving your gaze further into the city, you can see a series of iconic buildings standing tall.

These are the seven-colored spire of the Mage Association, the furnace-shaped building of the Blacksmith Association, and the glass-domed hall of the Apothecary Association.

There are three major association headquarters in total.

In the four main locations of the city, there are also four giant teleportation array platforms that shimmer with spatial fluctuations.

Although only workers are visible in the city now, one can already imagine the bustling and prosperous scene in the future.

The streets will be crowded with merchants from all over the world, the taverns will resound with the hearty laughter of adventurers, and the markets will be filled with rare and exotic treasures from all corners of the globe.

Cao Xing took a deep breath, and the wind on the city wall carried the scent of the new city.

"Finally... my great city is about to be completed."

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Let's take this opportunity to promote it."

Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear and switched to the team channel.

"Listen up, everyone! The giant city will be officially completed tomorrow."

"All combat personnel shall return to their territory and await further instructions after tonight's battle concludes."

There was a moment of silence on the communication channel after hearing this.

Then Elisa's clear cheer rang out first.

"Yay! Our territory's giant city is finally built!"

"That's fantastic! Captain Elisa will have even more places to play now!"

Others also responded.

Brown's gruff voice rang out: "Aha! It's finally finished. Brown can go drink at a bigger tavern now."

Assam solemnly declared, "With the Lord's protection, this city will undoubtedly become a sacred city, a holy land that all knights flock to..."

The Blood Spider Queen said lazily, "Finally, I can go back. I've been dealing with these disgusting monsters for the past month; I'm about to throw up just looking at them..."

Cao Xing listened to his subordinates' reactions and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he quickly regained his serious expression: "Everyone, don't let your guard down."

"You're not here to relax after this trip; you need to rest and prepare for battle immediately."

"There might be a tough battle tomorrow, so be fully prepared."

Upon hearing Cao Xing's serious tone, the channel fell into a brief silence once again.

A moment later, Sarah's voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of a blade cutting through the air: "Any enemy that dares to invade will fall to the blade of death!"

The Blood Spider Queen licked her lips: "Tch! A bunch of blind fools. Perfect, let them taste my Crimson Abyss Poison."

The others also gripped their weapons tightly, and the sound of weapons clashing filled the channel.

The group was not intimidated by the potential for a powerful enemy; on the contrary, their fighting spirit soared.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Everyone, explore for a few more hours. Remember to prepare to return to the territory at midnight tonight."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

After hanging up the communication, the core combat personnel led their respective teams and quickened their pace of exploration.

Assam raised his holy sword and charged forward first.

Elisa's arrows rained down like a storm, while the druid continuously unleashed Moonfire and Starfire spells to bombard the mist...

Everyone was eager to end today's battle and return to their proud territory!
...

...

After arranging the combat personnel in the territory, Cao Xing switched to the Starfire Legion chat channel.

Then he sent a message directly: "Everyone, this is Cao Xing."

When his name appeared, the Legion channel, which had previously only had a few rustling chat messages, instantly erupted in excitement.

Hundreds of messages flooded the screen instantly!

Ji Xinyue: "Good afternoon, Commander!"

He Zhifeng: "Commander, how have you been lately?"

Du Qing: "Boss Cao Xing, thanks to you we gained over 50 Dream Fragments for nothing! Two Hero-level creatures have been born in my territory. I am so grateful!"

Chen Wentao: "Commander! Is there any new instruction? We guarantee 100% cooperation!"

Seeing the messages flooding the Legion chat, along with everyone's concern and greetings, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

He was the one who established the Starfire Legion, and several of its vice commanders were his men.

In other words, the entire legion was essentially his confidant.

Cao Xing sent the message with a smile and replied, "This time it's not about asking you to do anything, but about announcing something else."

Upon seeing this message, everyone immediately stopped speaking and listened silently to the leader's next words.

"Many people probably know that I started building the megacity a few months ago."

"Now, the day of completion has finally arrived."

"Now, I would like to invite you all to come to my territory tomorrow to participate in the completion ceremony."

"At the same time, we will also open up leasing rights for a batch of shops. The number is limited and it will be available on a first-come, first-served basis."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Legion channel exploded!

"Holy crap! The giant city is already built? That's way too fast!"

"Yes! That's incredible speed! I remember lending my staff to Boss Cao Xing for less than three months. What kind of god-like speed is this?" "Amazing! They actually managed to build a giant city. I heard that the resources consumed were astronomical. Boss Cao Xing, I'll definitely be there tomorrow!"

"Brothers, this is a historic moment. I suggest that everyone try to go if they have the time."

The survivors building a city is an unprecedented event in the entire Western Continent.

Even just witnessing this scene firsthand is enough to make one's blood boil!

At this point, some of the more rational members reminded them: "Don't forget what Boss Cao Xing said, that he would open up the leasing rights of some shops. Those with the strength or management ability should consider it."

"That's right, this is the first megacity built by the survivors of the entire Blue Star in this world, its commercial value is immeasurable!"

"Just the sheer number of legendary experts under Commander Cao Xing is enough to make the native inhabitants of this world flock to him."

"Commander Cao Xing, may I ask if we can post this message on the forum so that other people can also know about it?"

Upon hearing this question, Cao Xing readily replied, "Of course."

"You can not only post it on the forum, but also start a live broadcast tomorrow so that more people can witness this moment."

Cheers erupted in the channel once again.

"That's fantastic! Long live Boss Cao Xing!"

"Hahaha! I can already imagine how the forum will explode!"

The survivors were once again engrossed in a lively discussion, each of them excited about the spectacle to come tomorrow.

The Legion channel was filled with a lot of discussion messages. Some people were already discussing what clothes to wear to the ceremony, while others were planning the live broadcast angle and script.

At this moment, Cao Xing solemnly added a sentence.

"Of course, there's something I need to remind you of first."

"The brothers who come to my territory tomorrow to participate in the completion ceremony may encounter danger, so be prepared accordingly."

Upon hearing this, the Legion Channel was immediately taken aback.

The survivors asked in bewilderment, "What? We can encounter danger just by attending a ceremony?"

"What's going on, Boss Cao Xing? Is there some other force preventing you from building your city?"

"Damn it, which blind bastard dares to stop the commander? Brothers, let's take him down!"

"That's right! As long as the commander gives the order, we'll fight these guys to the death!"

"..."

Seeing their excited expressions, Cao Xing shook his head and solemnly said, "It's not that anyone is stopping me from building the city."

"But at tomorrow's completion ceremony, a legendary expert on my side will break through to... demigod level!"

"I think you all know the influence a demigod has on the continent. Her breakthrough is enough to affect the格局 (geju, a term encompassing overall situation, overall structure, and overall dynamics) of many kingdoms, and at the same time, it will attract the attention of many powerful figures..."

"You need to be prepared when the time comes."

Cao Xing didn't continue, because he had already explained the stakes to them.

The survivors of the Starfire Legion weren't fools; they could also foresee what might happen next.

The previous major battles have made everyone aware of Cao Xing's formidable strength and that he has many enemies.

Those who dare to target Cao Xing are probably at least legendary figures.

Such an enemy could easily destroy a city, and wipe out an army of a million men with ease.

If these guys find out that someone in Cao Xing's territory is about to break through to demigod level, they will definitely do everything in their power to sabotage it, and may even unite to launch an attack!

In an instant, the survivors of the Starfire Legion all became solemn.

Only heavy breathing could be heard in the channel; everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.

However, what shocked them even more than the potential dangers was the news that someone on Cao Xing's side was about to break through to demigod status, and that this top-secret information had been directly revealed.

"Commander Cao Xing...you actually told us such important information. Won't this have any impact on you?" Ji Xinyue asked worriedly in the chat channel.

“Yeah… why don’t you try to break through to demigod again at a different time, guild leader?” another guild member immediately chimed in, his tone full of concern.

"Boss Cao Xing, just tell me what you need us to do, and I'll cooperate fully!"

"Commander! I'm bringing all the combat personnel over tomorrow. No matter who the enemy is, I'll fight them to the death!" A rough voice boomed through the channel, filled with a determination to die for the cause!
Cao Xing looked at the constantly refreshing messages in the channel, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

However, since he dared to make it public, he must have his own reasons.

"Don't worry, everyone, I have everything I need to do."

"Of course, the enemy is too strong, and I cannot guarantee that everything will go smoothly, so I remind everyone again."

"Tomorrow's ceremony is both a grand celebration and a crisis..."

Upon hearing this, the survivors of the Starfire Legion immediately erupted in enthusiastic response!
"I trust Boss Cao Xing. You've never let us down. I'll definitely be there tomorrow!"

"That's right! Just follow the commander!"

"Tomorrow will be the moment to witness history. I don't care about any demons or monsters. I will fight alongside Boss Cao Xing!"

"Brothers! Charge!"

In an instant, the fighting spirit in the hearts of most of the lords of the Starfire Legion was ignited!
They recalled all combat personnel as quickly as possible and retrieved the best equipment from the warehouse, with various medicines being distributed to the warriors.

All territories have entered a state of high alert, and the air is filled with a tense yet exciting atmosphere.

Meanwhile, several survivors of the Starfire Legion, with Cao Xing's permission, posted a message on the world forum.

The post is titled: "Witness History! Humanity's First Megacity on Earth is Nearing Completion!"

This eye-catching title shines brightly on the forum's homepage!

It contained some of Cao Xing's chat logs, as well as some pictures of the giant city taken by some survivors during this period.

However, they did not include the last piece of information, and the relevant intelligence was only circulated among some small groups.

Even so, this post still caused a sensation on the forum in a short period of time!

The number of replies is growing at a crazy rate of hundreds per second!

Second floor: "The giant city is completed? Isn't everyone busy exploring the dream fragments and capturing those Skrats? How does he still have the energy to build such a massive project?!"

Third floor: "My goodness! Just looking at the pictures, I can imagine that this giant city must be enormous, almost comparable to some major cities."

Fourth floor: "As expected of the number one in the entire server, he makes a big move right away!"

Fifth floor: "...Awesome!"

The simple reply on the fifth floor expressed the shock of countless people and received tens of thousands of likes in a short period of time.

A flood of comments appeared!

Some questioned its authenticity, some sought verification, but most expressed amazement and envy.

They were filled with boundless curiosity about this giant city!

Some people asked how many resources it would take to build a giant city, while others inquired about the city's defense system.

Many people also tagged Cao Xing to ask if they could attend the completion ceremony tomorrow.

Some even expressed their willingness to pay exorbitant fees just to witness the true face of this first giant city on Earth.

In an instant, the eyes of over a billion survivors around the world were focused on this soon-to-be-completed megacity.

The number of views for that post also skyrocketed tonight!
...

...

After announcing the news to the survivors of the Starfire Legion, Cao Xing closed the legion's chat channel.

Then, he pressed the communication device and contacted several indigenous people he knew.

Among them are figures such as the Ice Crystal King, the Gray Mist King, and the Orchid Queen.

Hilton of the Black Lion Merchant Guild, Jess of the Woodpecker Merchant Guild, and even Leonard of the Giant Axe Mercenary Group all received invitations personally extended by him.

After all, these people are also his allies and partners.

Such an important matter naturally requires informing others.

Upon hearing the news that Cao Xing's giant city was about to be completed, their reaction was exactly the same as that of the group of survivors.

After their initial surprise, they all indicated that they would personally attend the completion ceremony.

They also guaranteed that they would bring the most precious gifts and ensure that the event would not be marred by anything less than spectacular.

When they heard that a legendary expert would break through to demigod status at the completion ceremony the next day, they were stunned into silence.

The Ice Crystal King's aura suddenly erupted, causing the entire Everfrost City to tremble violently. The usually composed old king's eyes widened, and his right hand trembled slightly.

The gray mist swirled around the Gray Mist King, who stood directly on the throne, and the entire city was shrouded in a thick fog.

Queen Youlan stood up from her chair, and a solemn expression appeared on her dignified and cold face.

Everyone's expression instantly turned serious.

They all realized that tomorrow's ceremony was extremely important and could very well be a major event that could change the landscape of the continent!
After Cao Xing hung up the last call, he let out a soft sigh: "I've almost finished notifying everyone..."
