Chapter 115 Return! The Prototype of the War Fortress (6000)

At this moment, the group of newcomers looked at this territory with surprise!

They also felt the warmth emanating from the furnace.

The group of polar people immediately exclaimed: "What a warm territory!"

"Oh my god, working in a place like this, I could work for four hours straight without a break!"

"Yes! It's so warm here that we can even work at night..."

Hearing the last sentence, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

He looked at the polar man who was speaking, his eyes full of admiration.

Good, you are aware!

At the same time, Da Zhuang, Cao Yi and others were working.

I also saw the huge team and Cao Xing and others.

Da Zhuang immediately exclaimed: "The Lord is back, everyone come and greet him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of polar people, the leader Cao Yi, and the tree spirit clan came out.

They also saw the group of polar people behind Cao Xing.

Da Zhuang exclaimed, "Mother Earth, the Lord has brought back so many polar people!"

Er Zhuang beside him was also full of joy, "Great, Da Zhuang! We have a new partner joining us!"

"That's right, we're going to have new partners!"

The polar people behind Cao Xing looked at each other.

They could all see that Da Zhuang and others had happy expressions on their faces.

It was clear that they were living well in this territory.

For a moment, I began to look forward to life in the new territory even more.

Cao Xing took a quick look and found that Andrew, Blot, Assam and others were in the team, and he felt relieved.

Because this means that the group of cloud yaks he captured during the day, as well as old Mel's cattle and sheep, have all returned safely to his territory.

"Andrew, Assam, you did a good job." Cao Xing praised.

They saluted at the same time and said respectfully: "May the glory of the lord protect us and allow us to have a smooth journey."

Cao Xing nodded, and then called over the leader Cao Yi, "Cao Yi, report today's work progress."

Cao Yi, a citizen of the territory, said respectfully, "Lord, according to your instructions, we have upgraded the ore processing plant, blacksmith shop, sewing shop, and all the residents to level 2."

"In addition, a bakery has been built. Sanhua and his team have used the wheat flour you brought back to make the first batch of bread."

"And the cowshed you specifically ordered has also been built."

"The batch of cloud yaks that Mr. Andrew brought back today have all entered the cowshed."

At this point, Cao Yi, a citizen of the lord, exclaimed: "It's hard to imagine that I can actually see this legendary creature with my own eyes. The power of the lord is really mysterious!"

The other citizens also nodded.

After all, that is the priceless cloud yak!
"We have installed heating pipes and stoves in the cowshed, so it can be kept at a comfortable temperature even at night."

Cao paused, then said apprehensively: "However, I didn't expect that the Assam Knights would bring back so many cattle and sheep."

"So, we didn't have time to build so many cow sheds..."

Leader Cao Yi had a guilty look on his face.

Cao Xing patted his shoulder and consoled him: "Don't blame yourself, Cao Yi, you have done a good job."

"But tonight, we may have to work hard and get off work overtime."

Then, Cao Xing looked at the others and said, "Everyone, after tonight, some changes will occur."

"Our territory will no longer be able to provide us with absolute protection. We need to rely on our own strength to safeguard the security of the territory."

Upon hearing this, all the people in the territory changed their expressions.

They had always believed that the protection of the territory would last forever, and that as long as they were in the territory they would be absolutely safe, and not even a giant dragon could pose a threat to them.

However, Cao Xing now told them that after tonight, the protection of the territory would disappear.

Next, they will have to face the dangers of this world like everyone else in this world.

For a moment, everyone felt a little uneasy.

Cao Xing saw through their thoughts and comforted them, "Don't worry, everyone. Even without that invisible protection, you should have seen how powerful the territory is."

"With our current strength, we are able to handle many dangers."

“It’s even safer here than in some towns.”

"Don't panic. Trust your lord and his men to protect the territory."

After Cao Xing finished speaking, all the subjects were silent for a moment.

Then, Cao Yi, the chieftain, was the first to respond: "We believe in you, Lord. Your power is as bright as the stars in the sky. Even at night, it can illuminate the way forward for us!"

The polar man Da Zhuang also raised the hammer in his hand and shouted: "We also believe in Lord. You have grown our territory from a small camp to its current size in just a few days."

"I witnessed all this with my own eyes. I believe that it won't be long before you can even turn it into a city-state!"

"In addition to the great lord, we also have a large number of powerful warriors who can defend our territory!"

Da Zhuang became more and more excited as he spoke, and then he shouted: "Praise the Lord!"

Others, including the tree spirits, all shouted: "Praise the Lord, we believe in you too!"

At this moment, the newly joined group of imperial soldiers and mage apprentices all looked at Cao Xing's subjects with curiosity.

It is very difficult to get so many people to trust a lord unconditionally.

If it were their former lord, he might be questioned by his subjects at this time, resulting in a decrease in loyalty.

And this group of people, obviously coming from different regions and different races, believe so firmly in one human being.

Mage Ellie looked confused: "I seem to have made a mistake... I thought this new lord relied on iron-blooded means and used force to force his subordinates to surrender..."

"Why does it seem that he is not as cruel as I imagined? Instead, the people in his territory love him very much?"

Sylvia next to her also looked surprised.

When they were forcibly captured by Cao Xing, they were already prepared to be exploited and even humiliated every day. After all, such lords were not uncommon.

Everything they saw changed their impression of Cao Xing.

Cao Xing didn't know what these newcomers were thinking. Instead, he looked at his subjects and said, "Thank you for your trust."

"However, with our current strength, it is enough to deal with many threats."

"But I want to make sure everything is safe."

"So in order to prepare for a possible crisis tomorrow, we need to work overtime tonight."

"The first priority is to upgrade my lord's hut to level 3, and then build more elemental arrow towers, residential quarters, and cattle sheds."

Cao Xing added, "I'll allow you to have a day off tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Da Zhuang said excitedly: "Lord, we don't need to rest, we just need to work one more night, which is not a problem for us polar people!"

Leader Cao Yi also agreed: "That's right, if we take a break, there will be no one to do the work tomorrow."

The Tree Spirits clenched their fists and said excitedly: "We are willing to contribute all our strength for the development of our territory!"

All the subjects were enthusiastic.

Liu Muxue, who had been watching silently from behind, also showed a look of relief in her eyes.

Seeing Cao Xing being loved by the people, she also felt honored.

The three strong polar men said: "My Lord, I can't wait to work, please arrange work for us!"

However, Cao Xing smiled and said, "I told you to rest, so I'll let you rest. Combining work and rest is the most important thing."

"As for tomorrow's work, new members will replace you."

Hearing the urgency in Cao Xing's tone, all the subjects remained silent.

Then, Cao Xing continued to give orders: "Now, Cao Yi, you continue to build the cattle shed, install the heating pipes, and build new residential areas."

"Da Zhuang, hurry up and upgrade my lord's hut to level 3."

"Tree Spirits, go build more elemental arrow towers."

"Dahua, lead Erhua, Sanhua and the others to prepare dinner for our new members."

Cao Xing quickly issued various instructions.

At this moment, Cao Xing's subjects shouted collectively.

"As you command! Lord, I promise to complete the mission!"

They were all very enthusiastic and trotted off to work, carrying their tools.

Cao Xing glanced at the mage apprentices and imperial soldiers behind him, then said, "Assam."

"My Lord, I am here."

"Take our new members to familiarize themselves with the territory, and then assign them residences."

"By the way, arrange four people in a room for them, and two people in a room for women."

His territory is now beginning to take shape, with twenty-four mid-level residential buildings.

A mid-level residential building covers an area of ​​about 80 square meters, has two floors, and can accommodate 12 residents.

But Cao Xing’s current territory is very large, and there is still a lot of undeveloped space.

Therefore, there is no need to exploit the living environment of the subjects.

Cao Xing always let those polar people stay in a room with six people.

As for these fighters, such as Assam and Sarah, they were given special treatment.

Some are for two people to a room, and some are for a single room.

Assam nodded, then looked at the group of newcomers, "You all follow me."

The newly joined imperial soldiers and Ellie straightened their expressions and followed Assam away.

At this time, there were still 24 polar people left.

Because Cao Xing does not have enough population now, no recruitment applications have been issued to them.

For a moment, they were unable to work and just stared at each other.

After seeing Cao Xing's speech and the enthusiasm of his subjects, several polar people looked at each other.

They can all feel the development prospects of this territory.

The polar man named Duan came over and said respectfully, "Lord, please arrange some work for us as well."

"We also want to contribute to this prosperous territory!"

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then looked at his own population.

Current population: 90/100

With his current population limit, he can recruit ten more polar people.

So, Cao Xing nodded and said, "I can let some of you join the territory first, you sign up yourself."

The polar man Duan was delighted, and other polar men also signed up enthusiastically. They all wanted to show themselves well in front of this new lord.

Then, Cao Xing randomly picked ten people and sent them recruitment applications.

[Recruitment successful, polar people: Duan, Haner, Collis, Layo... joined your territory, territory population +10]

This time, Cao Xing’s population was completely full.

Cao Xing said, "Now, Duan, take five people with you to build six toilets in the territory. Remember to mark the men and women."

"Then the other four people went to make five sleds."

"Others, go to the residence and wait first."

All the personnel dispersed and began to work according to Cao Xing's instructions.

Although it is already night time.

But under the illumination of four lighthouses, the territory is still very bright.

And because there is a furnace to provide temperature, it won't feel too cold even at night.

The people in the territory are working overtime to prepare for the end of the novice protection period tomorrow.

At the same time, as night fell, a system prompt appeared.

[All survivors please note that there are only 12 hours left before the novice protection period ends. After the novice protection period ends, the game content will undergo many changes, so please be prepared. ]

This system prompt rang in the ears of all survivors.

A large number of comments suddenly appeared in the world channel.

Qiu Tiangang: "Brothers, the protection period is about to end, are you all ready?"

Ricardo Bemba: "Shit! I just provoked a group of bandits today. They chased me to the vicinity of their territory, but since they couldn't get in, they could only stare blankly from outside. Once the territory protection period ends tomorrow, I feel like I'm doomed!"

Yu Zhuxuan: "Shit! When my subjects heard that the territory could not protect them tomorrow, their loyalty dropped sharply. The few refugees I recruited today also ran away overnight. These bastards!"

Kawamura Kyohei: "Yoshi! Is it finally over? My Jungle Spearman Training Camp has trained a large number of spearman soldiers. Guys in Area 65, are you ready to be conquered by me?"

Mahmoud: "Very good, I found oil near my territory. Once the novice protection period is over, I will go find the natives of this world to help mine it, and then conquer this world with oil!"

...

As expected, some people are looking forward to the end of the protection period, while others are troubled.

But obviously, tomorrow's update is a change that will affect everyone.

Cao Xing didn't look at the chat in the regional channel anymore and chose to close it directly.

at the same time.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard.

The Centaurs Kantor and Kandar came over together.

They saluted Cao Xing.

"Dear Lord, we did find an ice nest when we were patrolling near the territory today."

"According to your instructions, we did not destroy the ice nest immediately, but waited for the ice nest monsters inside to hatch and then killed them one by one."

"Hundreds of ice nest monsters appeared in it one after another. We took Ms. Ilena with us and killed all of them, and then destroyed the ice nest."

Cao Xing nodded. He had noticed the kill information during the day.

Fortunately, an ice nest appeared near the territory.

For other survivors, the Ice Nest can be an extremely dangerous thing to avoid.

But for Cao Xing, the ice nest is a lot of experience points.

Then, the Centaur Kanter handed everything in his hand to Cao Xing.

"My Lord, these are dropped by the Icebrood monsters. I collected them all as you ordered."

Cao Xing took it and a system prompt appeared.

[Obtain Ice Dragon Mark*52]

[Obtain glacier flakes*34]

[Obtain Ice Crystal*11]

...

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Nearly 500 Icebrood monsters can drop so many materials, the drop rate is already very high.

Now, the number of ice dragon marks and glacier flakes on his hands has exceeded ten thousand.

Cao Xing couldn't help but look forward to what good things he could get once the new expansion pack was released.

"Kantel, Kandal, you did a good job, now you can go and rest."

However, the two centaurs looked at each other and said in unison: "Dear Lord, we don't want to rest. We can continue to patrol the territory!"

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I agree."

"Kantel, Kandal, you guys go ahead, but be careful. If you encounter a strong enemy, remember to run back to the territory."

The two centaurs stamped their feet at the same time and said respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Lord. We will remember it in our hearts!"

After saying that, they moved their four hooves and headed out of the territory.

Cao Xing then continued to patrol his territory.

First of all, what Cao Xing was most concerned about was naturally the batch of cloud yaks captured today!
The value of these yaks is inestimable.

To Cao Xing, they are a group of hens that lay golden eggs, so he wants to go check on the condition of the cloud yaks.

Cao Xing came to a wooden cowshed.

It is about five meters high and covers an area of ​​about seventy to eighty square meters.

After pushing open the door of the cowshed, Cao Xing immediately smelled the scent of hay coming from inside, mixed with some warmth, which was very warm.

He immediately noticed that they were the underground heating pipes that provided continuous heat to the cowshed.

Cao Xing checked the temperature.

[Current temperature: 13℃]

"Yes, with the heating pipes, the indoor temperature has been greatly improved!"

The cloud-colored yaks gathered in the corner of the cowshed also looked very happy.

They stayed together quietly, occasionally nodding their heads to their companions.

Like a bunch of soft clouds, they are full of warmth just by looking at them.

Old Mel and Eliza were pouring hay into the trough.

However, because it is just a primary cowshed, the facilities inside are very simple.

Seeing Cao Xing come in, Old Mel and Elisa saluted respectfully.

"My Lord, I wish you good health."

"Good evening, my Lord."

Although Elisa has a lively personality, she still has proper etiquette.

Cao Xing nodded, and then asked, "Mr. Meier, what is the status of this batch of cloud yaks?"

Old Mel smiled and replied, "These are all adult cloud yaks. In addition to their hair being able to generate heat, the milk they produce is also more nutritious than ordinary milk."

"To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that someone could catch such a legendary creature, and catch so many of them at once."

"Until now, I still feel a little unreal..."

Cao Xing also smiled. "Mr. Mel, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be more and more magical creatures in our territory. Then I will have to trouble you."

Old Mel quickly waved his hand and said, "No trouble, respected lord."

"On the contrary, this is my first time raising these magical creatures, and it has given me a lot of experience, and I have also learned a lot of new knowledge."

"I wonder how many farmers would love this opportunity!"

Cao Xing nodded, "As long as Mr. Meier likes it."

After a pause, Cao Xing continued to ask: "Then according to Mr. Meier's experience, how long will it take to cut the first batch of hair?"

Old Mel thought for a moment.

"The cloud yak is a wild animal. It has just arrived in a new environment and needs some time to adapt. After about four or five days, the first batch of hair can be cut."

Cao Xing nodded, this time is fine.

In another four or five days, he will have his first batch of magical fur that can store heat!
To be honest, even though Cao Xing and his friends are wearing thick wolfskin coats when they go out, the weather in this world is really too extreme.

Even with a wolfskin coat, it is impossible to keep out the horrific low temperature.

I have to endure the cold every moment.

In the words of a scholar in this world, as long as you are in the wild, it is a confrontation between human will and nature.

Therefore, humans who can live outdoors in this world are all strong-willed beings.

With clothes made of cloud yak hair, the impact of severe cold on one's will can be greatly reduced.

At this time, Old Mel said with a somewhat worried look on his face: "However, there is one more thing I need to report to you."

"Mr. Meier, please go ahead."

"That's right, my Lord. Cloud Yaks are sacred creatures, but they can survive by eating this hay."

“But if you want to maintain their sanctity and the heat-generating function of their hair, you need to eat moses grass regularly.”

"What is moss grass?"

Old Mel explained: "This is also a magical plant. It is relatively rare and only grows in places with few people and relatively steep terrain."

"If the Moses grass is not used for a long time, the Cloud Yak will lose its magic, its hair will fall off by itself, and it will not be able to generate heat."

"And this is why cloud yaks migrate frequently."

“They need to frequent those high mountain cliffs to look for moss grass to eat.”

After hearing what Old Mel said, Cao Xing nodded suddenly.

At the same time, he felt somewhat fortunate that he had brought back Old Mel to help him raise cattle.

If it weren't for the knowledge that Mel possessed, even if Cao Xing caught the cloud yak, it would probably be raised into an ordinary yak in no time.

"I understand, Mr. Meier. I will find a way to deal with the moss grass."

Old Mel nodded.

Just when Cao Xing was about to leave.

Elisa on the side suddenly said: "My Lord, my Lord!"

"Please wait!"
