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

Chapter 858 The Unification of the North, A New Era Begins!

For Cao Xing, the kings of the North Wind Alliance still had some value, so he agreed to their submission.

This guy has absolutely no reason to exist.

Upon hearing this, the dark mage's face turned deathly pale, and the light in his eyes quickly went out.

His chapped lips moved, his voice hoarse and trembling: "Really... not even a chance?"

"I am also a legendary-level fighter, and I can fight for you too..."

However, Cao Xing remained unmoved.

Seeing this, the dark mage suddenly turned ferocious and roared hysterically, "Damn it! If you kill me, you'll pay the price yourself!"

"The dark magic within me is on the verge of spiraling out of control. If I die, it will pollute the land within a radius of hundreds of kilometers!"

"At that time, your entire city will be corrupted into a place devoid of life!"

"I advise you to release me obediently, or I'll self-destruct right here in front of you!"

Cao Xing listened to his threat, but still wore a casual smile.

"You don't actually think this tactic will work on me, do you?"

The dark mage paused, then roared again, "I'm telling the truth! Would you rather have your city destroyed than not kill me?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "You've got it wrong."

"You will die here today, and my city will not be harmed."

After saying that, he quickly opened the [Starfall Codex] in his hand and directly activated the legendary special effect [Dark Night Star Lake Domain].

"Crash..."

A strange fluctuation spread out, and a dark power carrying starlight emanated from Cao Xing.

The surrounding battlefield receded rapidly, and space began to distort and transform.

When the dark sorcerer came to his senses, he was surprised to find himself suddenly on the surface of a lake.

The lake was as black as a mirror, reflecting his image, while above him was a dazzling starry sky.

Although it was quiet all around, he could clearly sense that he had entered another space.

In other words, even if his dark magic power were to erupt here, it would have no effect on the real world whatsoever!

His last shred of hope was ruthlessly crushed.

At this moment, despair reappeared in his eyes!

"Damn Cao Xing! I curse you! I curse your city!"

"You have offended those gods and the Holy See; you will surely die a horrible death!"

"Hahahaha!"

Cao Xing remained expressionless.

Along the way, I have killed too many enemies and heard too many of their curses and swears before they died.

But the more this happens, the more it reveals the enemy's weakness.

By now, Cao Xing has long been immune to it.

He simply raised his staff, and several huge ice spikes shot out into the air!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Pfft! Pfft!"

【-6723485! 】

【-7182845! 】

【-5828349! 】

...

The sharp ice spikes pierced through the dark mage's body in an instant, dealing millions of critical hit damage and pinning him to the dark lake surface.

Blood stained the lake's surface, only to be quickly swallowed up by this strange space...

[Successfully defeated the Dark Mage: Theodore Levin (Legendary Creature) lv110, gained experience points: 2.46 million (Pale Spell)]

[Combatants gained 1.26 million experience points...]

...

Just as this guy said, the dark magic power within him was indeed on the verge of spiraling out of control.

After his death, his body cracked like a broken pottery jar.

"puff!"

With a loud bang, a massive amount of dark magic power poured out in all directions, attempting to take away all life, but it was neutralized by the power within the [Dark Night Star Lake Domain].

"Sizzle... hiss..."

The two forces cancel each other out, producing a teeth-grinding 'sizzling' sound.

As the last wisp of black smoke dissipated, the area returned to calm.

Cao Xing walked over expressionlessly and picked up the things that had fallen to the ground.

[Received: Legendary Heart *1]

[Obtained: Soul-Stealing Staff (Orange) *1]

[Obtained: Book of Black Magic (Orange) *1]

[Obtained: Evil Crystal *6]

【get……】

...

After defeating the enemy, he slowly closed the codex, the heavy pages making a dull thud.

The Star Lake domain was then dispelled, and the black lake quickly disappeared.

In the real world, his figure reappeared in the center of the battlefield, everything around him intact, as if nothing had happened.

Cao Xing looked around.

The enemy that attacked this time were either killed or surrendered.

Now, only one legendary creature remains to be dealt with.

It was that large black snake.

Cao Xing was about to raise his hand and kill it.

Just then, a refreshing fragrance of herbs wafted over.

The witch Francesca gracefully landed beside him and said softly, "This black snake was once my pet. It kept me company for a time in the castle."

"Leave it to me..."

Cao Xing remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly without saying anything more.

The life or death of a legendary black snake is no longer important.

After dealing with all the legendary-level and above enemies, Cao Xing's magical power surged.

"call--"

As a gust of cold wind swept by, his figure flew into the air.

Below, millions of North Wind Allied Forces knelt on the ground, their dark mass stretching to the horizon like a tidal wave.

Some soldiers were even trembling with fear, none of them knowing what fate awaited them.

After all, they were the defeated side, and the victors had the right to do whatever they wanted with them.

At the same time, Cao Xing's gaze swept across the battlefield, and his voice traveled dozens of kilometers through magic.

"Everyone..."

A deep and authoritative voice echoed through the wind and snow.

At that moment, countless eyes were fixed on him.

The millions of coalition soldiers held their breath, their heartbeats slowing down involuntarily.

The warriors of Starfire City stood tall, their eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

Cao Xing continued, "Thanks to everyone's bloody battles and concerted efforts..."

"A resounding victory in this battle!"

Below, thousands of warriors in Cao Xing's territory, as well as hundreds of thousands of elites in the Starfire Legion, raised their arms and shouted!

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

The roar was like thunder, soaring straight into the sky!
Even the clouds in the sky were shaken apart by this force, revealing the long-awaited sunshine.

The brilliant sunlight shone on the blood-stained battlefield, making the scene both tragic and unforgettable.

In the live stream, the billions of survivors were also caught up in an unprecedented frenzy.

The barrage of comments flooded the screen like a torrential downpour, almost drowning out the entire display!

"Cao Shen is invincible! He's won another battle!"

"Awesome! Starfire City is awesome! The human race of Blue Star is awesome!"

"From today onwards, the entire Northern Territory is under the command of Boss Cao Xing!"

"A historic battle! They will all be recorded in history!"

...

Everyone knows that they witnessed history today!
An epic war that will determine the fate of the entire Western Continent!
Some viewers were even moved to tears.

They knew that from this moment on, the status of the human race on Earth would be completely changed.

...

...

On the 379th day of the Ice Age when the Blue Star Human Race descended, the first city rose amidst the wind and snow, named 'Starfire'.

The eleven legendary figures of the North Wind Alliance, together with four false gods from the Underworld, led an army of millions to attack 'Starfire City'.

Lord Cao Xing led his legendary troops and the four kings in a final battle against the enemy.

In dire straits, Cao Xing's subordinates unleashed demigod-level combat power one after another, turning the tide of the battle.

In this battle, a total of eight legendary figures, three false gods, and one demigod-level dragon were killed, and the person hidden behind history, 'The Fire Thief', was severely injured.

Following this battle, the five kingdoms of the Northern Wind Alliance submitted, and the North achieved its first unification in thousands of years.
...

… Meanwhile, Cao Xing continued to hover in mid-air.

He didn't say much, but simply gazed calmly at the city that had stood firm amidst the flames of war.

"The formidable enemy has now been dealt with."

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Let us continue the celebration of Starfire City, a celebration that also belongs to all of you!"

"Boom! Boom!"

As he finished speaking, dazzling magical fireworks suddenly burst forth across the city sky.

Purple starflowers, golden sunflowers, silvery aurora rain...

Hundreds of cannons roared simultaneously, heralding the arrival of a new era!
The survivors of Starfire City were once again engulfed in revelry!

People on the street embraced and wept, and soldiers removed their blood-stained armor and threw their weapons high into the air.

Barrels of fragrant rum were pushed onto the streets for people to enjoy.

Large quantities of fresh bread are continuously being shipped out from various bakeries. The freshly baked bread exudes an enticing aroma of wheat, and its golden crust is still steaming.

The soldiers, exhausted from the recent battle, eagerly took a bite of the still-hot bread, their faces beaming with happiness.

Meanwhile, the bard strummed his harp, and the melodious tune echoed through the streets and alleys.

The entire city was enveloped in the aroma of food and wine, accompanied by beautiful music and the constant sound of laughter.

...

...

The celebration lasted from noon until sunset.

The vibrant atmosphere in the city not only did not diminish in the slightest, but became even more lively as night fell.

This battle made Starfire City famous.

The wanderers, mercenaries, and merchants throughout the swirling snowfield all knew that a legendary city had risen here.

Some of the bards in the taverns had already begun singing about this epic battle, and caravans were scrambling to spread the shocking news.

A large influx of outsiders poured into Starfire City.

Caravans carrying valuable goods, mercenary groups bearing their own flags, and wandering knights with sharp weapons at their waists—all sought opportunities in this emerging legendary city.

Moreover, the outcome of this battle has not yet fully unfolded.

Once the news spreads, the entire Western Continent will know that a new overlord has been born in the Northern Territory!
At that time, more people will flock to Xinghuo City, continuously injecting vitality into the city.

...

...

Six o'clock at night.

The inner city of Xinghuo City, which is Cao Xing's core territory.

The area was brightly lit and peaceful, a stark contrast to the bustling outer city.

It's like an isolated island in the middle of a bustling city.

However, this tranquil place possesses a powerful force capable of influencing the course of the entire western continent.

The main hall on the first floor of the lord's castle.

In the spacious hall, twelve stone pillars carved with ornate patterns stand tall, and the floor is covered with a clean carpet.

The crystal chandelier emitted a soft glow, illuminating the space brilliantly.

In the center of the hall, a young man sat on a magnificent throne.

He was dressed in a frosty white robe, casually leaning against the back of a jewel-encrusted chair, his gaze calmly sweeping across the entire room.

Below him were dozens of chairs carved from marble.

Each chair was occupied by a powerful being with an extraordinary aura.

Most of them were legendary and demigod-level powerhouses from Cao Xing's territory, as well as some core combat personnel at the hero level.

In addition, the four kings sat on four chairs on the right.

The lizardman chieftain, Rosie of Chuanhai Fortress, and Leonard, the leader of the Giant Axe Guild, along with other powerful figures, sat on the left.

It could be said that... the powerful figures gathered in this hall could even shake the situation of half the continent.

At this moment, Assam respectfully approached Cao Xing and leaned down to whisper his report in his ear.

After listening, Cao Xing nodded slightly and then looked at the people in the hall.

"Gentlemen, we have won a glorious victory in this battle."

"Next, it's time to tally up the results."

Below, everyone immediately sat up straight and stared intently at the man on the throne.

Facing this young lord from another world, now the overlord of the North.

His status has surpassed that of everyone else on the field.

Cao Xing looked at Assam beside him and said, "You give a report."

The knight immediately stepped forward, took out a roll of parchment from his bosom, and then calmly read aloud: "In this battle, we have captured a total of 314 million elite soldiers of the North Wind Alliance."

"This includes elite units such as the Heavy Armor Knights, the Griffin Knights, and the Griffin Archers Legion."

"In addition, there are various siege weapons: 547 frost catapults, 1285 war cannons, and 21942 giant siege crossbows..."

"besides……"

Assam gave a lengthy report, detailing everything from the composition of the captured soldiers to the quantity of weapons and armor, as well as a detailed list of various magical items.

Each time he announced a number, a slight gasp would be heard in the hall.

Hilton of the Black Lion Merchant Guild and Jess of the Woodpecker Merchant Guild, who were sitting in the corner, were completely stunned.

Because, after a quick calculation, they found that any one of the items on the list the knight had presented was worth an astronomical sum!
Even the four kings were speechless upon hearing this series of reports…

After all, even they were seeing so many soldiers and weapons for the first time...

The military strength of the four kingdoms was originally weaker than that of the North Wind Alliance.

Moreover, the North Wind Alliance went all out to deal with Cao Xing this time, mobilizing at least 60% of the troops from the five kingdoms.

Siege equipment also brought a large number of [items/items].

In addition to various flying units, magic vehicles, and so on, its value is unimaginable!
Furthermore, if all these troops were taken over, their sheer size alone would be enough to overwhelm most of the kingdoms of the Western Continent!

That's the allure of war—it's incredibly risky, and one wrong move can lead to total defeat.

But the returns are also terrifyingly high, beyond imagination.

At this moment, Cao Xing slowly spoke up: "Let's put aside other spoils of war for now and deal with these prisoners and war equipment first."

The crowd in the hall fell silent again, listening intently to the young man's next words.

"Of these three million troops, I will leave 10 elite soldiers, such as the wyvern legion, the griffin knight legion, and so on... to be responsible for guarding Starfire City."

"In addition, I will take one-third of those siege weapons and leave them in Starfire City to strengthen the city's defenses."

"The remaining soldiers and other war equipment were each received by one of the four kings."

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, another collective gasp rippled through the crowd!
They all understood what Cao Xing meant.

This is a plan to hand over those millions of well-trained elite troops, as well as a large amount of valuable war equipment!

"Om-"

A strong fluctuation appeared in the aura emanating from the four kings.

They stared in disbelief at the man on the throne.

After all, this is something that any country would be eager to achieve!

King Gray Mist and War King Kunard clenched their fists instinctively, their eyes flashing with excitement and longing!

However… King Ice Crystal remained calm and slowly said, “Lord Cao Xing, is it not appropriate for us to take over these three million elite troops?”

"This is your achievement, its value is beyond imagination."

"Moreover, to be honest, we only held off the Nightmare God in this battle; we didn't make any significant contribution."

"so……"

He didn't say anything more, and everyone understood what he meant.

The contributions of the four kingdoms were indeed insufficient to obtain so many benefits.

Even the excited War King Kunard and King Gray Mist gradually calmed down.

Cao Xing chuckled and said, "It's alright, I have my own plans."

He had already made up his mind.

Admittedly, if he were to swallow up these millions of troops in one fell swoop, it would indeed inflate the military strength of his territory to an exaggerated degree.

However... we need to consider a practical issue.

That is, his territory was only at the giant city stage.

Even after he completed the construction of the giant city, the system added an extra 10 people.

However, this is still far from enough to take in these millions of soldiers.

Besides population, there is an even more critical issue.

Since you've taken them in, you're responsible for their food, drink, and basic needs.

The logistical support for millions of people, not to mention anything else, involves an astronomical daily food consumption.

Even with Cao Xing's resources, he would have eaten himself into poverty in just a few days!
Therefore, it is better to force it to become a burden on one's own territory.

It would be better to divide it among the four kingdoms, which would not only strengthen their military power but also improve relations between them.

The second reason, and also the more important one.

As allies, the four kingdoms' kings did not hesitate to lend a helping hand in the previous major battles.

Including in the recent Battle of Xinghuo City, they stood up firmly!
Even when the enemy's forces were several times greater than expected, and even when there were several demigod-level experts among them, they never retreated.

Therefore, since his ally was so loyal, he naturally couldn't be stingy.

Of course, besides these reasons, there is an even more crucial reason, which is related to the upcoming Northwind League.

This is also what he plans to discuss with the four kings next.
