Chapter 146: Building a Rail System, Newcomers from Outside the Territory

"Well done, Kandal, Kantel, you've worked hard." Cao Xing praised.

The two centaurs looked serious and were about to say it was not hard.

But Cao Xing said: "In order to reward your performance, I decided to let Kanter also have elite-level power."

After saying that, Cao Xing threw an elite soul to Kantel.

As for Kandar, he had already advanced to an elite creature two days ago, so there was no need to give him anything else.

Kanter stretched out his hands and took it with excitement on his face.

"Thank you, strong and generous lord!"

"May the glory of Father Modil protect you!"

A system prompt appears.

[Due to your generous gift, the loyalty of territory member: Kanter has been improved. Current loyalty: 93]

Not only Kantel, but hundreds of citizens present, including the newcomers, felt the powerful force contained in this soul.

Then, under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, Kandal directly slapped the soul into his body.

Not long after, a strong aura rose from his body!

A system prompt appears.

[Your territory member: Kantel successfully advanced to an elite creature, all attributes increased by 30%, and learned a new skill, Skull Crushing Throw]

Since the advancement paths for the two Centaurs are the same, the skills they learn are also the same.

At this moment, Kanter looked at his chest muscles and arms that had become stronger, and said excitedly: "Oh! This feels really good!"

“I’m getting stronger!”

Kandar next to him also said excitedly: "That's right, Kandar, you have become stronger, as strong as me!"

They looked very happy.

The other subjects also looked at Kantel with envy and respect!
In this world, if you have power, you have everything!
Especially the group of newly joined imperial soldiers and wild boar warriors, all of them had strong desire in their eyes.

Cao Xing looked at this group of newcomers and found that their levels had improved a lot.

I looked through the battle information.

It was discovered that the boar warrior Blitz, and the mage apprentices Ellie and Sylvia, had all reached level 10.

The levels of several imperial soldiers were still a little short, having just reached level 9.

Yesterday, they followed the 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 Tier warrior.

So Cao Xing shouted, "Blitz, Ellie, Sylvia, come here."

The boar warrior Blitz walked over quickly, then knelt on one knee and said, "Mighty Lord, you called me?"

Cao Xing nodded.

As for Ellie and Sylvia, they held their wooden canes and looked at Cao Xing cautiously.

Especially Ai Li, the timid mage apprentice, still seemed a little afraid of Cao Xing.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "You guys worked hard last night."

"In view of your good performance, I have also decided to reward you."

Hearing the word 'reward', the three of them raised their heads.

Blitz's eyes lit up. He had just seen with his own eyes how Cao Xing gave the Centaur a soul, which greatly increased the Centaur's strength.

Including Ellie and Sylvia, there was anticipation in their eyes.

Cao Xing did not keep them in suspense and directly took out three primary power hearts from his backpack and gave them to them respectively.

The three of them felt the powerful force contained in the red crystal in their hands.

Their pupils suddenly shrank.

You know, although the two Centaurs were very strict with them, behind this strictness was rapid growth.

It was evident from the fact that they had advanced three or four levels in just one day!
The Centaur also explained to them that the reason they were able to upgrade so quickly was because of Cao Xing's power.

In fact, even if there were no rewards, the speed at which they became stronger was enough to satisfy them.

However, now, Cao Xing actually gave them the precious Heart of Power.

For a moment, the three of them were touched.

The wild boar warrior immediately knelt on one knee, "God of Beasts, you are worthy of being the lord I recognize. Blitz really did not follow the wrong person!"

Another mage apprentice, Sylvia, also said with a touched look on her face: "Thank you, respected lord."

After saying that, she tugged at the corner of Ellie's clothes next to her.

Then, timid Ellie also said timidly.

"Thank...thank you...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 increased. Current loyalty: 84]

[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of your territory member: Ai Li has been improved. Current loyalty: 87]

...

What surprised Cao Xing was that the most timid Ai Li had the highest loyalty.

Looking at her delicate appearance, Cao Xing nodded.

"Okay, next you guys use the Heart of Power to break through."

The three of them nodded, and then under the envious gazes of the other subjects, they simultaneously smashed the Heart of Power and absorbed the energy contained in it.

After a moment, a powerful force rose from their bodies.

Three system prompts of successful advancement appear!
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the imperial soldiers next to him and encouraged them, "Those of you who haven't made a breakthrough don't worry."

"After a while, I will find the heart of power for you all to break through."

Hearing this, several imperial soldiers, including several imperial archers, all knelt on one knee.

They said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord. We are willing to give everything for the development of the territory!"

A system prompt appears.

[Due to your words, the loyalty of your territory member: Lajid has been improved. Current loyalty: 78]

[Because of your words, your territory members...]

After four or five prompts in a row, the loyalty of these newcomers increased by 3 to 5 points.

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips because his strategy of making big promises worked again.

The eyes of the people such as Da Zhuang and Du An were also filled with fanaticism.

This is also Cao Xing’s purpose.

Give them the impression that as long as they make contributions to the territory, they will be commended or even rewarded 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 found that all five Hearts of Power had been distributed.

Almost all of yesterday's harvest has been consumed.

The strength of the entire territory has skyrocketed.

With the strength of these subjects, 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 only on the eve of the expansion pack's launch.

And these ice nests are the power of the dragon.

According to the tree spirits, the ancient dragons possessed combat power that was comparable to that of true gods.

In a rage, he can destroy an entire continent!

Therefore, Cao Xing still cannot take it lightly.

At this time, little Elisa came out from the crowd, "My Lord, my Lord, Elisa wants one too!"

Cao Xing was stunned and looked at the petite archer.

Elisa changed her outfit today. She was wearing a white light armor that she had stolen from somewhere, and she also had a small wooden bow on her back.

You know what, he really has a heroic temperament.

However, her cute round face does not match this outfit at all.

I looked 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: Frost Arrow (Concentrates the power of frost and shoots an arrow with frost breath, causing 112% damage to the enemy, and has a 50% chance of slowing the enemy down. Cooldown time is 15 seconds)
Breath of Frost (Ice Archers comprehend the power of frost, are more adaptable to extremely low temperature environments, and can fight in the wild for a longer time)]

[Talent: None]

[Hunger: 71]

【Loyalty: 84】

...

Before going out yesterday, Cao Xing trained the five tree spirits and Elisa into frost archers.

After one day, all the training was completed.

However, Elisa's attributes can only be described as average.

After all, it is just an ordinary creature, and Cao Xing can't ask for too much.

Looking at Elisa's eager eyes, Cao Xing did not give her the elite soul.

The impression he just left on these subjects cannot be broken so quickly.

So Cao Xing said: "Elisa, you have to know that there are many people before you who have contributed a lot to the territory, and they need rewards more than you."

"You have only been in the territory for a short time, so you still need some time to gain experience."

"I can only reward you if you make contributions to the territory, do you understand?"

After Elisa heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on her cute little face, and then she nodded and said, "My Lord, I understand!"

"I will fight hard and become a strong warrior!"

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, thinking that the boy was teachable. At this moment, Elisa looked at Cao Xing cautiously, and then asked tentatively: "That... handsome and powerful lord..."

“Although you can’t give me a reward now, can you agree to another request from Elisa?”

Looking at her embarrassed look, Cao Xing instinctively felt that something bad was going to happen.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

After hearing this, Elisa said excitedly: "That's it...just let me be the captain of the Frost Archer Squad!"

"How about letting me lead the other archers in battle?"

Cao Xing was immediately delighted after hearing this.

He didn't expect that this little girl also had the idea of ​​leading the team.

However, the battlefield is not a game of house. You must have command ability and enough prestige to make others obey your orders.

So, Cao Xing looked at the other five tree spirits.

"Do you think Elisa can be captain?"

"Or, if you have any opinions, you can tell me."

The five tree spirits touched their heads embarrassedly and looked at Elisa with a bit of awe in their eyes.

"We have no objection, your Excellency."

“Little Elisa…Captain Elisa is very capable. We are willing to let her lead us in battle.”

Seeing this scene, a strange smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

It seems that little Elisa has already dealt with these tree spirits.

This little girl is really capable.

So he nodded and said, "In that case, I agree to your request."

Elisa jumped up on the spot excitedly, “Great!”

"My Lord, I love you!"

[Because you have fulfilled the request, the loyalty of your territory member: Elisa has been improved. The current loyalty is 88]

...

Cao Xing was speechless. "Go ahead and take your archer team to train!"

"As you command, Lord Lord!"

Then, Elisa straightened her body, like a proud peacock, and went to training with her younger brothers.

Cao Xing looked at the leader Cao Yi.

He already knew yesterday that the resources in the territory were about to run out.

Wood, stone, and iron were running low.

So today's mission is to resume resource extraction.

So Cao Xing asked, "Cao Yi, how many sections of railroad tracks are there in our territory?"

Cao Yi, a citizen of the territory, reported: "Your Excellency, we have consumed a large amount of iron in the past few days and produced tens of thousands of rails, enough to lay more than ten kilometers of railway."

Hearing this number, Cao Xing nodded secretly.

This will make it possible to mine in more distant areas.

Moreover, so many rails can even be used to lay multiple railways and then mine at the same time.

Cao Xing looked at Blot again, "Blot, have you explored all the resource points within the five-kilometer area around our territory?"

The Shar shaman nodded and said, "My Lord, the investigation has been completed."

"Within five kilometers, there are two small forests, three small coal mines, two medium-sized iron mines, and one medium-sized copper mine."

"However, there are monsters lurking in these resource points, so I didn't rashly alarm them."

Cao Xing nodded, "Very good."

"Blot, your mission today is to escort some of our people to the resource point together with Assam, Kantel and Kandar, and eliminate the monsters inside."

After hearing this, Blott immediately straightened his expression and said, "I'll follow your orders!"

The two centaurs also said excitedly: "Haha! Kandar will show off his skills today!"

"Cantel wants one too!"

After saying that, they led a group of polar people and walked out of the territory.

Cao Xing continued, "Cao Yi, you will still be in charge of the Tree Spirit Tribe today. Your mission is to build a track system to connect the resource points captured by our warriors with the territory."

The chieftain Cao Yi also said respectfully: "As you command, Lord."

Then, the leader Cao Yi also led a group of tree spirits out of the territory.

Cao Xing looked at Duan beside him again.

"Duan, the remaining polar people are under your command."

"Our first priority today is to build a primary alchemy workshop and a primary machinery factory, then continue laying the brick and stone floors of our territory and build a magic water storage device for our rooms."

"Oh, and the Ascalon training camp has also been built."

The polar man Duan has the talent of [Enthusiasm and Encouragement], so he builds things very efficiently.

This is also the reason why Cao Xing kept him.

Duan waved the hammer in his hand, and a determined look appeared on his resolute face.

"Yes! Dear Lord, I will complete the task you ordered!"

This group of polar people dispersed again, and Cao Xing continued to give orders.

"Dahua, I bought a new batch of vegetable seeds yesterday. Let's see if we can plant them first."

"If the greenhouse is not enough, notify Duan and have them build a new greenhouse."

Dahua, who had a mature appearance, also came over and nodded respectfully.

As Cao Xing issued orders one by one.

Soon, everyone had something to do.

As for Cao Xing himself, he had nothing to do.

He is not going out today because there is nothing to do.

The only pressing issue at the moment is the Moses grass that the Cloud Yaks need to eat.

But Cao Xing had no idea about this thing.

And according to Old Mel, there are still six days before the Cloud Yak next eats Moses grass, so there is no rush.

As for Bing Luanhua, Cao Xing didn't quite trust Qiu Yating.

So he specifically instructed Renis to rush to the Witch Forest today to investigate the situation.

Once Renis comes back, Cao Xing can set off.

Two hours passed in a flash...

Boom! Boom!
Outside the territory, there were crashing sounds every once in a while.

Cao Xing made a statistics of these two hours.

There were two ice nests that fell near his territory.

That is to say, an ice nest will fall down every hour.

Compared to yesterday when an ice nest would drop every few hours, the frequency of drops has indeed increased a lot today.

At this rate, the survivors have to fight against the ice nest and collect resources, so time is very tight.

However, Cao Xing had too many fighters under his command.

Ellie and Sylvia have advanced to the second level, and with their BUFFs, they are able to deal with the Ice Nest easily.

The other fighters, Hilda and Ilena, didn't even have anything 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 its eyes when it was first brought home, but now it can walk like a child.

The growth rate is still very fast.

at this time--

Elisa trotted over to Cao Xing and said breathlessly, "Lord...Lord..."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Cao Xing glanced at her speechlessly and said, "What's the matter? Speak slowly."

Elisa took a few breaths and then said, “Outside the territory, here… two people are coming!”

"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 the recruitment in the tavern yesterday was effective!

"Take me there, little Elisa."

"Uh-huh."

Elisa turned around and started jogging again.

Cao Xing followed her and soon arrived in front of one of the iron gates.

Standing on the city wall and looking out.

As expected, two figures appeared in the snow outside the territory.

The leader was a woman with a strong body like a bull.

Wow, that height must be at least two meters!
To be honest, this was the first time Cao Xing saw such a tall woman.

Her strong physique, bulging muscles, and the huge axe on her shoulders make her look very intimidating!
Next to her was a bearded dwarf.

That bearded dwarf looks similar to a polar man, but he is one of the great tribes in this world.

A pure dwarf race.

Cao Xing quickly glanced at their attributes...
