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

Chapter 909 The Giants' Latent Move, The Frozen Warriors.

The giant priest said admiringly, "Your esteemed overlord of the North, your magnanimity and foresight are unmatched. All the creatures of the continent and the frozen sea will remember your contributions!"

The other giants also showed expressions of great reverence.

The old priest continued, "Since Lord Cao Xing doesn't have time to rest in the tribe... is there anything the giants can do to assist you?"

Upon hearing this question, Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

Then he looked up and said, "I don't need your help, but I do have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

The old priest immediately straightened his expression and said respectfully, "Lord Cao Xing, please speak!"

Cao Xing looked around, his gaze landing on the Frost Oath Wall, where a large number of Ice Giants were still carrying out post-war repair work.

He asked, "Is this all the troops your giant race has stationed here?"

"I don't think they add up to more than 200,000. With such a force, how can they withstand the continuous attacks of tens of millions of Ice Nest monsters and the White Walker army?"

This was also his biggest question.

After all, the giants have held out here for thousands of years without being breached.

It's impossible that they just arrived at the Frozen Sea and the Ice Nest Monsters launched a full-scale attack, and then the city wall was about to be breached, right?
The old priest's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Currently, only this many troops remain to guard this battlefield..."

"The other main forces are all on the main battlefield in a deeper part."

"I heard that even demigod-level ice nest monsters have appeared there. The chieftain has been fighting there for three months with 70% of the tribe's elite warriors."

Gar, the giant, clenched his fist and interjected, "We originally thought that with this army of 200,000 giants and the various powerful devices on the Wall, we could hold the line..."

"Unexpectedly, this ice nest surge is more than ten times more ferocious than in previous years..."

"The other three battlefields have reached a point where they are struggling to hold on."

"Therefore, I had no choice but to risk traveling to the mainland with Harrag to find reinforcements."

After they finished speaking, Cao Xing nodded.

That finally cleared up the questions in my mind.

He continued, "So besides this army of 200,000, you really have no other backup plans?"

"Where are the legendary warriors of your tribe?"

When the old priest heard this question, his cloudy eyes trembled slightly, as if he hesitated.

After a moment, he seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"This powerful human lord! Our Ice Giant race does indeed possess legendary combat power, and it's right behind us!"

Cao Xing frowned, his gaze following the direction the old priest pointed.

However, all he saw was the 10,000-meter-high Frost Oath City Wall.

There was nothing on it except for the accumulated weathering over the years.

However, as the old priest tapped his staff, the ice on the city wall suddenly rippled and became transparent.

Through the endless ice, Cao Xing finally saw the scene inside the city wall, and his pupils shrank instantly!
He saw it: more than a dozen ancient giants, as tall as mountains, were frozen deep inside the city walls!

Those giants were hundreds of meters tall, their bodies covered in ice crystal armor that was harder than steel.

Although his eyes were closed, the aura he exuded still sent waves of intense unease through people.

In addition, each giant has various shocking injuries on its body.

Some had their chests pierced through, some had half their bodies covered in corrosive white frost, and some were even left with only their mutilated heads and torsos.

Many of these wounds were still slowly oozing pale blue blood, making one wonder how these giants survived.

"This is... your backup plan?" Cao Xing's voice unconsciously lowered.

A look of sorrow appeared in the old priest's eyes: "Yes..."

"Our legendary giants are too old, and due to the long years of fighting, various hidden injuries have accumulated and they are no longer able to maintain their daily activities."

"In non-combat situations, they all voluntarily sealed themselves within the core ice layer of the Frost Oath Wall."

"They will only be awakened to fight when faced with an insurmountable crisis."

Cao Xing stared at the sleeping ancient giants, remaining silent for a long time.

He could feel the terrifying aura emanating from each giant, a pressure honed through countless life-and-death battles.

After a moment, he slowly nodded and said, "I understand."

Cao Xing stopped asking questions and understood why the Ice Giants had been able to hold out on this frozen sea for thousands of years.

Just like those ancient kingdoms, there are always some decaying things hidden deep in the forbidden areas of the royal palace.

He stepped forward when the kingdom was in peril, burning his last bit of strength.

The same was true of the giants frozen inside the city walls.

The other giants, through continuous reproduction and training, forged batches of warriors who joined the ranks of those fighting against the ancient dragons.

They have guarded this city wall for generations.

After a moment of silence, Cao Xing seemed to remember something.

He looked up and asked, "Priest Osha, how many legendary giants like your Icefield Giants, who slumber within the city walls, are there?"

Upon hearing this question, a thoughtful look appeared in the old priest's cloudy eyes.

After a moment, he slowly replied, "According to a rough estimate, there should be more than forty legendary giant warriors on the four battlefields, and there may also be some sleeping giant elders among them."

"That is the strongest expert in our clan, possessing demigod-level combat power."

"However... only our clan leader knows the exact number."

Cao Xing's eyes lit up when he heard that there were more than forty legendary giants, including even demigod-level giants!
This led him to have an idea!
Cao Xing suppressed his excitement and said calmly, "If I said... I have a way to fully heal these giants and restore them to their peak combat strength."

Are you willing to accept this?

The old priest suddenly raised his head, his aged face contorted with shock.

Even the thousands of giants behind him stared at Cao Xing in disbelief.

"You...you...what did you say?"

"To fully heal them from their injuries?! That's something even the clan leader couldn't do!"

He was so shocked that he asked incredulously, "Are you telling the truth?"

Cao Xing nodded slightly: "That's right."

Upon receiving his confirmation, a look of wild joy simultaneously appeared in the eyes of the giants!

However, Cao Xing's next words froze the expressions on their faces.

"Of course, all of this is predicated on getting these legendary giants to join my territory."

As a lord of another world, Cao Xing not only possesses system functions unique to lords of another world, but also has the powerful SSS-level talent of [Eternal Power].

Once they join the territory, these giants will belong to the friendly faction.

The Blessing of the Pale Tree can be applied to these giants, instantly doubling their health!
In addition, the various status skills of the characters can infinitely restore their health and increase their maximum health.

Those seemingly fatal old injuries will no longer be a problem with this double support.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if these giants join the territory and don't return to Starfire City with me.

In any case, as long as they join the territory, they will increase Cao Xing's prosperity and fortune, which will also bring benefits to all mankind.

All Cao Xing paid was a reduction in the population cap.

Before this, he had considered bringing the four kings into his territory as well.

However, the system has limitations in this regard.

Because this involves conflicts between different forces.

For example, if Cao Xing brings the Ice Crystal King into his territory, he will essentially become his subordinate.

Then the Ice Crystal Kingdom would immediately declare its disintegration, and the entire kingdom's system would collapse instantly.

The same applies to the other three kingdoms.

However, the Ice Giants are different. They are not considered a faction, but rather an independent ancient race on the Ice Plains.

Therefore, this is equivalent to a group of recruitable neutral creatures.

At that moment, upon hearing that joining Cao Xing's territory was the only way to cure these legendary giants, the ecstasy on the giants' faces vanished instantly, replaced by hesitation.

A brief silence fell over the room.

Cao Xing didn't urge them, but let them take their time to consider it.

After all, the fact that the Ice Giants have been able to hold out here for thousands of years proves that they are a tenacious and indomitable race, and they would never willingly become vassals of other forces.

But... Cao Xing's offer was too tempting!
If what he said is true, then dozens of legendary giants in the tribe could regain their strength in one fell swoop.

With such powerful support, they would have more confidence even when facing the legions of ancient dragons.

After a moment, the giant Garr seemed to have made some kind of decision.

He patted the old priest on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Priest Osha, Lord Cao Xing is very powerful. Even legendary Norn warriors are willing to submit to him."

"This shows that he not only has great strength, but also a personal charisma that can win over others."

"Such a powerful lord is willing to help our Ice Giant race and restore the fighting strength of those warriors. We should seize this opportunity!"

The giant Harrag echoed, "That's right!"

"Rather than let them slowly decay in the ice, let's follow this powerful lord!"

"When these giant warriors regain their strength, they will surely be very happy!"

Priest Osha gripped his staff tightly and remained silent for a long time.

After a moment, he raised his head and slowly said, "Lord Cao Xing, it's not that I'm unwilling to agree, but this matter still needs the clan leader's decision..." "If you could go to the front lines, please explain this to him..."

"If the chieftain hears that there is a way to cure our warriors, he will surely agree."

After the old priest finished speaking, he once again respectfully bowed to the human lord before him.

Cao Xing nodded slightly. "I understand. Your Icefield Giant Chieftain is in the first battlefield area of ​​the 'Frost Oath Wall,' right?"

Priest Osha nodded: "Yes, the battlefield where he was located was at the northernmost point of the Great Wall, and also the area closest to the deep sea."

"It is home to a large number of legendary-level Ice Nest Monsters, and even a demigod-level Ice Nest Tyrant has been spotted..."

"Be careful when you go there."

Listening to the old priest's instructions, Cao Xing slowly nodded and said, "I'll remember."

He said no more, having already made up his mind.

Next, I need to resolve the crisis in the four battlefields of [Frost Oath Great Wall] as required by the mission.

In other words, eventually, we will have to meet that giant chieftain.

It's not too late to explain this idea to the clan chief later.

Meanwhile, the legendary and heroic figures finished cleaning up the battlefield.

They each grabbed a backpack and came to Cao Xing's side, respectfully saying, "Lord, the clearing is complete, these are the spoils of war."

Cao Xing nodded slightly and accepted the backpack they handed him.

In an instant, a massive amount of product information began to flood the screen.

【get……】

...

This time, they killed more than ten million monsters, and the amount of loot dropped was beyond imagination!

Of course, since these monsters are formed from the power of dragons combined with the power of ice, they will not drop equipment or other regular items.

The drops are mostly materials and attribute books.

To Cao Xing's surprise, there was actually an event-limited exchange item called the [Ice Dragon Mark] among them.

"Interesting... These Ice Nest Monsters actually dropped [Ice Dragon Mark]."

"Could the [Ice Dragon Shop] reopen soon? Can these tokens be used to exchange for items?"

He pondered for a moment and quickly solidified his idea.

Considering the upcoming expansion pack in a month, Cao Xing's prediction is clearly correct.

This also reminded him of something else: "I've already redeemed almost all the exchange items that were offered in the last Ice Dragon Shop."

"Will they update the exchange items this time?"

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.

"It seems I need to kill more Ice Nest Monsters and accumulate more [Ice Dragon Marks]."

"Once the new content is released and the Ice Dragon Shop reopens, you can exchange for it directly."

As for other special materials, Cao Xing decided to check them out later while they were on their way.

Then, he turned to look at the group of giants in front of him.

"If we travel north along the Frost Oath Great Wall, we can reach the other three main battlefields, right?"

The giant Harrag straightened his back and solemnly replied, "That's right, esteemed Lord Cao Xing!"

"As long as you follow the path of the Great Wall and don't deviate from the main road, you will reach the three battlefields in turn!"

"The first battlefield where the clan leader is located is deep within the Eternal Frozen Sea!"

Cao Xing nodded slightly. "Alright, then let's not delay any longer and get ready to set off now."

"Harrag, Gar, I will come to find you after I have resolved the crises on the battlefields around me."

"At that time, I will trouble you to take me to the depths of the frozen sea to dig out those buried treasures."

The two giants immediately straightened their expressions and clenched their right fists, slamming them heavily into their chests.

The giant Garr readily replied, "No problem, mighty Lord Cao Xing!"

"You can come to us anytime you need us!"

The giant Harrag said just as devoutly, "May the frost guide your path!"

Cao Xing nodded, then turned around and looked at the combat personnel behind him.

Having just experienced a massacre, every warrior here exudes a strong aura of killing intent, surrounded by a faint, blood-red halo.

Upon noticing the lord's gaze, they instantly understood what he meant.

"Wow..."

A cloud of gray-black mist rose up and enveloped everyone.

They re-entered the necromancy state.

Only Queen Kasha and the old man of the sacred tree remained bewildered, seemingly unaware of how to activate this ability to become undead.

It wasn't until Zevilin reminded them that the two quickly completed the transformation from living to undead.

Then, Cao Xing waved his hand, and all the powerful figures were put into his necromancy bag.

Renis, Bronn, Elisa, and others remained in the same spot.

It's still the same cast.

Immediately afterwards, the mini ice dragon on Cao Xing's shoulder also flew into the air.

As its wingspan gradually extended, its size began to expand rapidly!

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant ice crystal dragon over a hundred meters long!

They quickly jumped onto Bingbing's back, and the giant dragon flapped its wings, carrying everyone thousands of meters into the air.

A biting wind formed a protective vortex around the dragon, keeping out the piercing cold.

Under the watchful eyes of the giants, Cao Xing and the others transformed into a streak of ice-blue light and sped toward the main battlefield in the north.

Wherever the ice dragon passed, it left a magnificent trail of ice crystals in the sky.

The giants stood still until the ice dragon's figure completely disappeared into the horizon.

A moment later, the old priest, leaning on his massive bone staff, displayed a complex expression on his aged face.

"They are truly an incredible group of powerful individuals."

"I have a premonition... that the [Eternal Frozen Sea], frozen for over nine thousand years, will experience unprecedented turmoil due to the arrival of this otherworldly lord..."

...

...

A few minutes later.

Bingbing has already led a group of powerful individuals over a thousand kilometers away.

The fierce winds howled across the sky, and the Frost Oath Great Wall beneath our feet resembled a winding ice crystal dragon, stretching into the distance across the vast ice plain.

On Bingbing's back, Cao Xing whispered, "According to the old priest, the other three battlefields are quite far apart."

"Next, we need to advance another 5,000 kilometers, 8,000 kilometers, and 6,000 kilometers... before we can reach the three battlefields in turn."

"This journey will take at least several hours, plus the time spent fighting..."

"We should be able to complete this A-level mission within a day."

For other survivors, even the top survivors, large-scale missions like this, involving multiple battlefields and spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, are unimaginable challenges.

Even if the system gives you seven days, it may not be possible to complete it.

This can be seen from the experience of the first battlefield.

The Ice Nest Monsters number in the tens of millions, and include legendary creatures among them; their charge is virtually endless.

If Cao Xing and his men hadn't displayed overwhelming strength, wiping out the vast majority of enemies on the battlefield in the shortest possible time...

This army of ice nests definitely has many more tricks up its sleeve, and the longer it drags on, the harder it will be to achieve victory.

Therefore, this mission is A-level for Cao Xing, but it might be S-level or even SS-level for other survivors!
