Chapter 146 Building a rail system, new areas outside the territory
“Well done, Kandar, Kantel, you have worked hard.” Cao Xing praised.
The two centaurs looked serious and were about to say it was not hard work.
But Cao Xing said: “In order to reward your performance, I decided to let Kantor also have elite-level power.”
After speaking, Cao Xing threw an elite soul to Kantor.
Kandar, on the other hand, had already advanced to become an elite creature two days ago, so there was no need to give it anything more.
Kantor stretched out his hands and took them with excitement on his face.
“Thank you, strong and generous Lord!”
“May the glory of late father Modile protect you!”
A system prompt appears.
[Due to your generous gift, territory member: Cantel’s loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 93]
Not only Kantor, but the hundreds of citizens present, including the newcomers, all felt the powerful power contained in this group of souls.
Then, under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Kandar directly took the soul into his body.
Not long after, a powerful aura rose from his body!
A system prompt appears.
[Member of your territory: Cantor successfully advanced to an elite creature, all attributes increased by 30%, acquired new skills, skull-crushing throwing]
Since the two centaurs have the same advancement path, the skills they learn are also the same.
At this moment, Kantel looked at his stronger chest muscles and arms and said excitedly: “Oh! This feels really good!”
“I’m getting stronger!”
Kandar next to him also said excitedly: “Yes, Kantel, you have become stronger, as strong as me!”
They seemed very happy.
The other residents also looked at Kantor with envy and respect! In this world, having power means having everything! Especially the new group of imperial soldiers and wild boar warriors, all with strong desire in their eyes.
Cao Xing looked at the newcomers and found that their levels had improved a lot.
Checked the combat information.
It was discovered that the wild boar warrior Blitz, the mage apprentices Ellie and Sylvia have all reached level 10.
However, the levels of several imperial soldiers are still a little low, having just reached level 9.
Yesterday, they all followed two centaurs to fight outside and gained a lot of experience.
After reaching level 10, you can use the Heart of Power to advance and become a powerful second-level warrior.
So, Cao Xing shouted: “Blitz, Ellie, Sylvia, come here.”
Wild Boar Warrior Blitz walked over quickly, then knelt on one knee and said: “Mighty Lord, are you calling me?”
Cao Xing nodded.
As for Ellie and Sylvia, they were holding wooden canes and looking at Cao Xing cautiously.
Especially Aili, this timid mage apprentice, still seems to be a little afraid of Cao Xing.
Cao Xing smiled and said, “You guys worked hard last night.”
“In view of your good performance, I also decided to reward you.”
When they heard ‘reward’, the three of them raised their heads.
Blitz’s eyes lit up. He had just seen with his own eyes that Cao Xing gave the centaur a soul, which greatly increased the centaur’s strength.
Including Ellie and Sylvia, their eyes were filled with anticipation.
Cao Xing didn’t give in, and gave them three elementary power hearts directly from his backpack.
The three of them felt the powerful power contained in the red crystal in their hands.
Their pupils suddenly shrank.
You know, although the two centaurs are very strict with them, behind this strictness is rapid growth.
In just one day, it can be seen that they have all been promoted to three or four levels! The centaur also explained to them that the reason why they were able to upgrade so quickly was because of Cao Xing’s power.
In fact, even without any reward, just the speed of getting stronger is enough for them.
However, now, Cao Xing actually gave them the precious heart of power.
For a moment, the three of them felt moved in their hearts.
The wild boar warrior immediately knelt down on one knee, “My God, you are worthy of being the lord I recognize. Blitz is indeed with the wrong person!”
Another mage apprentice, Sylvia, also said with a moved look on her face: “Thank you, respected lord.”
After saying that, she tugged on the corner of Ai Li’s clothes next to her.
Then, the timid Ellie also said something timidly.
“Thank you… thank you… Lord Lord…”
Three system prompts appear.
[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of your territory member: Blitz Reiner has been increased, current loyalty: 85]
[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of your territory member: Sylvia has been improved, current loyalty: 84]
[Due to your generosity, your territory member: Ellie’s loyalty has been improved, current loyalty: 87]
…
What surprised Cao Xing was that Ai Li, the timidest one, actually gained the most loyalty.
Looking at her fragile look, Cao Xing nodded.
“Okay, then you can use the Heart of Power to break through.”
The three of them nodded, and then, under the envious gazes of the other citizens, they simultaneously smashed the Heart of Power into pieces and absorbed the energy contained in it.
After a moment, a tyrannical force rose from their bodies.
Three system prompts for successful advancement appear! Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the few imperial soldiers beside him, and encouraged: “You have no breakthrough, so don’t worry.”
“After a while, I will find a heart of power for you all to break through.”
Upon hearing this, several Imperial soldiers, including several Imperial archers, all knelt down on one knee.
They said respectfully: “Thank you Lord, I am willing to dedicate everything to the development of the territory!”
A system prompt appears.
[Because of your words, the loyalty of your territory member: Rakid has been improved, current loyalty: 78]
[Because of your words, members of your territory…]
After four or five prompts in a row, these newcomers increased their loyalty by 3 to 5 points.
A smile appeared on Cao Xing’s lips, because his pie-drawing strategy was in effect again.
The eyes of Da Zhuang, Du An and other local residents were also full of fanaticism.
This is also Cao Xing’s purpose.
Give them the impression that as long as they contribute to the territory, they will be praised and even given rewards by the lord.
In this way, they will have a stronger sense of belonging to the territory and work harder.
Cao Xing looked at his backpack and saw that all five Power Hearts had been allocated.
Almost all of yesterday’s harvest has been consumed.
The strength of the entire territory has skyrocketed.
With the strength of these people, the so-called Ice Nest no longer poses any threat to Cao Xing.
A happy smile appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
Of course, he also knew that it was just the eve of the expansion pack.
And these ice nests are the power of the dragon.
According to those tree spirit tribes, the ancient dragon has combat power comparable to that of a true god.
In a fit of rage, he can destroy an entire continent!
Therefore, Cao Xing still cannot take it lightly.
At this time, little Elisa emerged from the crowd, “Lord, Lord, Elisa wants it too!”
Cao Xing was stunned and looked at the petite archer.
Today, Elisa has changed her outfit. She is wearing white plate light armor that she didn’t know where she got from, and she is carrying a small wooden bow on her back.
Not to mention, he really has a heroic temperament.
However, her cute, chubby face was completely inconsistent with this outfit.
He took a look at her attributes.
[Ice Archer: Elisa]
[Level: Level 7 3124/7000 (first-order ordinary creature)]
[HP: 580/580]
[Attack power: 57~61 (weapon bonus)]
[Attributes: Strength 25, Agility 27, Spirit 20, Constitution 29]
[Skill: Ice Arrow (condensing the power of frost, shooting an arrow containing the breath of frost, causing 112% damage to the enemy, and having a 50% chance of causing the enemy to enter a deceleration effect, with a cooling time of 15 seconds) Breath of Frost ( Ice archers understand the power of frost and are more adaptable to extremely low temperature environments, allowing them to fight in the wild for longer periods of time)]
[Talent: None]
[Hunger level: 71]
【Loyalty: 84】
…
Before going out yesterday, Cao Xing trained five tree spirits and Elisa into frost archers.
One day later, all training has been completed.
However, Elisa’s attributes can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
After all, it was just an ordinary-level creature, so Cao Xing couldn’t ask for too much.
Looking at Elisa’s longing eyes, Cao Xing did not give her an elite soul.
The impression he had just left on these people could not be broken so quickly.
So, Cao Xing said: “Elisa, you have to know that there are many people in front of you who have paid a lot for the territory, and they need rewards more than you.”
“It hasn’t been long since you joined the territory, and you still need some time to gain experience.”
“I can only reward you if you contribute to the territory, do you understand?”
After hearing this, Elisa’s cute little face showed a look of thinking, and then nodded: “Lord, I understand!”
“I will fight hard and become a strong warrior!”
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction. Children can be taught.
“Although you can’t give me a reward now, can you agree to Elisa’s other request?”
Seeing her coquettish look, Cao Xing instinctively felt that there was nothing good going on.
He squinted his eyes, “Tell me, what’s going on?”
After hearing this, Elisa suddenly said excitedly: “That’s it… just let me be the captain of the Frost Archers team!”
“How about all the other archers letting me lead the battle?”
Cao Xing immediately became happy after hearing this.
He didn’t expect that this little girl had the idea of leading the team.
However, the battlefield is not just playing house. You must have the commanding ability and sufficient prestige to get others to obey your orders.
So, Cao Xing looked at the other five tree spirits.
“Do you think Elisa can be the captain?”
“Or if you have any opinions, you can tell me.”
The five tree spirits rubbed their heads in embarrassment and looked at Elisa with a little awe.
“We have no objection, respected lord.”
“Little Elisa…Captain Elisa’s abilities are outstanding, and we are willing to let her lead us in the battle.”
Seeing this scene, a strange smile appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
It seems that little Elisa has already taken care of these tree spirits.
This little girl really has some skills.
So, he nodded and said, “In that case, I promise you.”
Elisa immediately jumped up excitedly, “Okay!”
“Lord, I love you!”
[Because you fulfilled the request, the loyalty of your territory member: Elisa has been improved, current loyalty: 88]
…
Cao Xing was speechless, “Go ahead and take your archer team to train!”
“As you command, Lord Lord!”
Then, Elisa straightened up like a proud peacock and led her little brothers to train.
Cao Xing looked at the leader Cao Yi.
He already knew yesterday that the resources in the territory were about to bottom out.
Wood, stone, and iron are running low.
So today’s task is to resume resource extraction.
So, Cao Xing asked: “Cao Yi, how many sections of rails are there in our territory?”
Leader Cao Yihui reported: “Back to your lord, we have consumed a lot of iron in the past few days and made tens of thousands of rails, enough to lay more than ten kilometers of railway.”
Upon hearing this number, Cao Xing nodded secretly.
In this way, mining areas further away can be mined.
Moreover, with so many rails, it can even be used to lay multiple railways and then mine them simultaneously.
Cao Xing looked at Blot again, “Blot, have all the resource points in the five-kilometer area around our territory been explored?”
The Shire shaman nodded and said, “Return to the lord, the investigation has been completed.”
“Five kilometers nearby, there are two small woods, three small coal mines, two medium-sized iron mines, and a medium-sized copper mine.”
“However, there are monsters entrenched in these resource points, and I did not disturb them rashly.”
Cao Xing nodded, “Very good.”
“Brott, your mission today is to, together with Assam, Kantor and Kandar, escort some of our territorial citizens to the resource point and eliminate the monsters inside.”
After hearing this, Blot suddenly looked serious and said: “Follow your orders!”
The two centaurs also said excitedly: “Haha! Kandar is going to show off his skills today!”
“Kantel wants it too!”
After saying that, they led a group of polar people and walked outside the territory.
Cao Xing continued: “Cao Yi, today the Tree Spirit Tribe is still under your command. Your task is to build an orbital system to connect the resource points that our warriors captured with the territory.”
The leader Cao Yi also said respectfully: “I obey, Lord.”
Then, the leader Cao Yi also led a group of tree spirits towards the outside of the territory.
Cao Xing looked at Du An aside.
“Duane, the remaining polar people are under your command.”
“The first task today is to build a primary alchemy workshop and a primary machinery factory, and then continue to lay the masonry floors in our territory and build a magic water storage device for our room.”
“By the way, the Ascalon training barracks has also been built.”
Duane, the polar man, has the talent of [Enthusiasm Inspiration], so he can build things very quickly.
This is also the reason why Cao Xing kept him.
Du An waved the hammer in his hand, a determined look on his resolute face.
“Yes! Dear Lord, I will complete the task you asked!”
This group of polar people also dispersed again, and Cao Xing continued to give orders.
“Dahua, I bought a new batch of vegetable seeds yesterday. I’ll see if I can plant them first.”
“If there are not enough greenhouses, notify Duane and they will build new greenhouses.”
The mature-looking Dahua also came over and nodded respectfully.
As Cao Xing issued orders one by one.
Soon everyone had something to do.
Cao Xing himself was a little idle.
He is not going out today because he has nothing to do.
The only pressing issue at the moment is the Moses grass that Yuncai yaks need to eat.
But Cao Xing has no clue about this thing.
And according to Old Mel, there are still six days until the next time Yuncai Yak eats Moses grass, so there is no rush.
As for Bingluanhua, Cao Xing didn’t trust Qiu Yating very much.
So I specially ordered Renes to rush to the vicinity of the Witch Forest today to investigate the situation.
Once Renes comes back, Cao Xing can leave.
Two hours passed in a flash…
Boom! Boom! Outside the territory, there was a crashing sound every once in a while.
In the past two hours, Cao Xing made statistics.
There were two ice nests that crashed near his territory.
In other words, an ice nest will fall down every hour.
Compared to yesterday, where an ice nest would only fall within a few hours, the frequency of falling ice nests today has indeed increased a lot.
According to this frequency, the survivors have to fight against the Ice Nest and collect resources, so time is very tight.
However, Cao Xing had too many combatants.
Ellie and Sylvia have advanced to the second level, and with their buffs, they can easily deal with the Ice Nest.
The other combatants, Hilda and Ilena, didn’t even have much to do.
Cao Xing walked around the territory.
Liu Muxue, on the other hand, was teasing the little bear cub Wally with Tong Chuchu.
This little bear cub couldn’t open his eyes when he was first picked up, but now he can walk like a child.
The growth rate is still very fast.
Just then——
Elisa trotted to Cao Xing’s side and said breathlessly: “Lord…Lord…”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Cao Xing glanced at her speechlessly, “What’s the matter? Speak slowly.”
Elisa took a few breaths, and then said: “Outside the territory, here come…two people came!”
“They said they heard that our territory was recruiting new people.”
After hearing this, Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly lit up.
oh? It seems that yesterday’s recruitment in the tavern has paid off!
“Take me there, little Eliza.”
“Uh-huh.”
Elisa turned around and started trotting again.
Cao Xing followed her and soon came to one of the iron gates.
Standing on the city wall and looking out.
Sure enough, two figures appeared in the snow outside the territory.
The leader was a strong, cow-like woman.
Good guy, that height is at least two meters! To be honest, this is the first time Cao Xing has seen such a tall woman.
Her strong physique, bulging muscles, and a giant ax on her shoulders make her look intimidating! Next to her, there was a bearded dwarf.
The bearded dwarf looks similar to a polar man, but he is one of the great clans in this world.
Pure dwarves.
Cao Xing quickly glanced at their attributes…
