Chapter 186 Return triumphantly and reward according to merit!
【-twenty four】

A huge damage exploded!

This hunter killer with third-level elite strength was taken away by Sarah in one move!
Before his health dropped to zero, he tried to use up his last bit of strength to turn around and take a look at the attacker.

However, Sarah broke his neck.

He probably never imagined until his death that there was an assassin lurking in the dark, and he was so powerful!
After killing the guy, Sarah dragged his body aside.

Then enter stealth mode again and wait silently.

Until it was confirmed, the fire had completely engulfed the camp and no one was left alive.

Sarah just left here...

...

At ten o'clock at night.

Cao Xing led the army back to the vicinity of the territory.

And Sarah returned to the team silently.

Cao Xing already knew the situation in the camp through the communication device at his ear.

There is actually a survivor hiding!
But fortunately, he made multiple preparations and now all the hidden dangers have been eliminated.

At this moment, the iron gate of the territory opened.

A dozen wild boar warriors marched into the territory with high spirits and vigor, like triumphant warriors.

At this moment, the group of leaders also walked out of the room.

They all knew that Cao Xing took his men out to fight tonight.

And it was the first time that he led so many soldiers into battle.

Therefore, these subjects all wanted to know the outcome of this battle.

Or what the casualties were.

And when they saw that most of the faces on the field were there, joy appeared on their faces.

However, they also saw the bodies of the soldiers, and their faces froze...

Cao Xing then slowly said: "As you can see, we won this battle."

"But at the same time, we had some casualties."

"This is a sad thing, and it is also the reason for my lack of ability..."

Hearing this, the boar warrior Lab immediately said excitedly: "Lord! You don't have to be sad or blame yourself."

"We, the warriors of the Wild Boar Tribe, take pride in fighting. Death is nothing more than returning to the arms of the Beast God!"

The Ascalon elite next to him, Yaskin, also said so.

"That's right, my lord. It is our honor when soldiers die on the battlefield."

"Besides, this time, we have achieved unprecedented results."

"This is the most amazing battle I have participated in since I joined the army."

"With the sacrifice of five people, we wiped out a cult organization of nearly 600 people. This is simply a miraculous victory!"

Yaskin's words were recognized by everyone.

Even the Holy Light Priestess Isabel or the Blood Spider Queen knew how amazing the battle tonight would be.

But Cao Xing shook his head and said, "I know that compared to the results achieved tonight, the deaths of these five soldiers are not worth mentioning."

"But they are not cold numbers, they also have their own names and identities."

"It's my subject!"

"We can't just forget these heroes who died in battle!"

Hearing this, the group of Ascalon soldiers and wild boar warriors were stunned.

No one had expected that Cao Xing would attach so much importance to the sacrifice of these five people.

"Lord Lord..."

Assam seemed to want to say something.

But Cao Xing shook his head.

"Tomorrow, we will hold a funeral for these heroes and set aside a hero grave area in the territory."

"From now on, whether it's the staff or our soldiers."

"Anyone who sacrifices their lives for the territory will be buried in this area."

"As long as our territory exists for one day, they will be remembered for one day! As long as our territory exists for a thousand years, they will be remembered for a thousand years!"

After Cao Xing finished speaking, all the people present stood in awe, as if a warm current surged in their hearts.

Especially those Ascalon soldiers and the Cantha Empire soldiers, some even had tears in their eyes.

Before this, they had never thought that they would be treated like this.

After all, they are just an ordinary group of soldiers.

All you need to do is capture a few strong people from among the civilians, train them a little, and then they can join the battlefield and fight.

In this world, the lives of ordinary soldiers are worthless.

Even if you die on the battlefield, you won't receive too much attention.

A large-scale war will result in the deaths of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

For these soldiers, the best that could be done after their death was to give their relatives a small pension.

This is the treatment only available to powerful empires.

More often than not, those who died in battle were simply buried on the spot, and then one day they were dug out of the ground by hungry wild beasts, leaving not even a corpse.

However, their lords actually gave these deceased people such solemn treatment.

In this cold world, they experienced for the first time the respect they deserve as human beings.

At this moment, Assam, with tears in his eyes, was the first to kneel on one knee.

"It is our honor to fight under your leadership!"

"I seem to understand. The purpose of being sealed in the other dimension back then was to allow me to meet a lord like you!"

"I am willing to shed my last drop of blood and sweat for the Lord and the territory!"

Assam was also promoted step by step by Cao Xing from an ordinary knight.

He feels it more than anyone else and has a deeper affection for this territory.

Therefore, there were tremors in the tone of this resolute knight.

The emotions of members of the entire territory were aroused.

Tears welled up in their eyes.

"I am willing to give everything for the Lord!"

At this moment, the system prompts the screen to refresh frantically!

[Your words and actions have impressed the territory member: Rab. His loyalty has been increased. Current loyalty: 91]

[Your words and actions have touched the territory member: Hilda Bloodkiss. Her loyalty has been improved. Current loyalty: 83]

[Because of your words and actions, the loyalty of the territory member: Isabel Gospel has been improved. The current loyalty is 81]

【Because of your...】

Whether it is the polar people, the tree spirits, the boar warriors, or the Ascalon warriors, their loyalty has skyrocketed!

Even the most difficult ones, Hilda and Isabel, improved a lot.

However, the system prompts are not over yet.

[Because you are the first lord in the server to have 100 lords with loyalty of more than 90! You get the personal title: Noble Lord]

[Noble Lord: Personal Charm +50, and increase the probability of persuading wild rangers, wild soldiers to surrender or join the territory by 30%]

(Title introduction: You conquered your subjects through your strong personal charm. No matter if it was hypocrisy or sincerity, at least you gave your subjects hope and faith. If you can keep it up, hypocrisy for a lifetime will be noble.)
...

When Cao Xing saw the system prompt, a strange look appeared on his face.

Building a hero's tomb was just a sudden idea of ​​his.

Unexpectedly, the effect was so good. Not only did the loyalty of the subjects increase greatly, but he also obtained his first title.

However, Cao Xing always felt that the introduction of this title was weird...

But whatever.

This does not prevent the title from being really effective!
It actually adds 50 points of charm, and there is a 30% chance of persuading the enemy to surrender, or subduing the ranger!

Combined with the tavern recruitment function, the effect is outstanding!
Cao Xing was secretly delighted.

In fact, he also has a golden blueprint in his hand, called the [King's Altar], which is said to be able to resurrect the heroes who died in battle.

But these soldiers who died in the battle were just ordinary creatures.

Cao Xing also didn't know what the resurrection range of the King's Altar was.

Therefore, there was no hope of resurrection for these people.

At this moment, Holy Light Priest Isabel walked out and said, "You are a lord with noble character. In this territory, I seem to see what the Church once pursued."

"On behalf of the Holy See, I express my deep respect for you."

Cao Xing looked at the woman and nodded silently.

The Vatican had a great influence on her.

But it doesn’t matter, sooner or later, Cao Xing will be able to raise her loyalty to 100.

By then, won't you be at my mercy?
Ahem! I’m getting off topic!

At this time, Cao Xing straightened his expression.

Then he looked at the excited people and continued, "The sacrifice of the hero certainly makes us sad."

"But it is precisely because of your heroic fighting that we have won a great victory in this battle!"

"And we also obtained a lot of resources!"

After saying that, Cao Xing gave Liu Muxue a wink.

Then, the two of them took out tens of thousands of kilograms of food from their backpacks and piled them directly on the stone floor of the territory.
Seeing the pile of grain bags in front of them, everyone's pupils shrank suddenly!

Because the food was found in the basement.

So they didn't know that Cao Xing actually had such a harvest! The scene of so much food piled together was really shocking.

Dahua even exclaimed, "Gods be upon you! I just told the Lord yesterday that the food in the territory is running out."

"As a result, the Lord brought back so much food today!"

"Oh my God! You are truly an almighty lord!"

There was a strong admiration in Dahua's eyes.

A system prompt appears.

[Because your actions have touched the subject: Dahua, the loyalty has been improved, the current loyalty is: 100]

(Loyalty is full, and the other party will now execute your orders unconditionally.)
...

As a veteran employee in the territory, Dahua's loyalty was directly increased to 100.
And those soldiers, the boar warriors, certainly understood the importance of food!
This almost determines how far a territory can go!
The tears in everyone's eyes were diluted by surprise.

Assam said excitedly: "This food is enough for our territory to eat for several months!"

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Yes, with these supplies, our territory will be able to develop better."

“This is also one of the gains we made in this battle.”

"Da Zhuang, please work hard tonight and take people to move these grains into the basement."

However, upon hearing this, Da Zhuang excitedly said, "Lord, it's not hard for us at all. We have endless energy to move the food!"

"Haha! You're right! We polar people love moving food the most!"

After saying that, these polar people started to work.

In fact, Cao Xing could be placed directly in the basement without Dazhuang and the others having to put in much effort.

But surface work is also necessary.

After all, some things cannot be reflected on the system panel.

For example, morale, the emotions of the people, etc.

When they see so much food, they will be more hopeful about the territory.

Whether fighting or working, you will be more efficient.

Cao Xing continued at this time: "In addition to these supplies, we also obtained other resources. These resources can help us improve our strength."

"Now, let's start rewarding people based on their merits!"

Hearing this, all the fighters on the field became excited.

They all looked at their lord with anticipation.

Cao Xing's gaze swept through the crowd and then stopped on the group of wild boar warriors.

"Rab."

Hearing Cao Xing calling him, Labu walked over excitedly.

"My strong lord, I am here!"

Cao Xing said: "Today, your wild boar warrior team obeyed orders and killed the enemy, so I decided to reward you with three elite souls to help your tribal warriors break through."

"At the same time, I will reward you with a new weapon."

After saying that, Cao Xing took out three elite souls from his backpack, as well as a pair of black swords that exuded a faint black aura.

This weapon is called [Magic Shadow Dual Blades] and is a purple-grade weapon.

Cao Xing hasn't checked the specific properties yet.

But among his subjects, only this group of wild boar warriors could use dual-blade weapons, so he just gave them to them.

At this moment, Lab almost trembled as he took the gift from Cao Xing and thanked him respectfully.

"Thank you, strong and generous lord!"

Then, Lab turned around, looked at the three wild boar warriors and said loudly:

"You three have killed the most enemies tonight. These three souls are given to you first!"

"Remember, this is the opportunity given to us by the Lord to become stronger!"

The three wild boar warriors suddenly became excited.

They didn't expect that there would be such a reward for bravely killing the enemy!
For a moment, they also took the soul with trembling hands.

Then he said respectfully: "Thank you, powerful lord!"

"Long live the lord!"

[Due to your generous gift, the loyalty of territory member: Lab has been improved. Current loyalty: 100]

(Loyalty is full, now the other party will unconditionally execute your orders,)

[Due to your generous gift, the loyalty of territory member: Drake has been improved. Current loyalty: 94]

[Due to your generous gift, the loyalty of territory member: Miles has been increased, current loyalty: 91]

【Because of you……】

Four system prompts for loyalty improvement appear.

The loyalty of the leader Lab has reached 100 directly.

Cao Xing looked at the group of Ascalon warriors again.

"I have also seen your heroic performance today!"

"So I decided to give you 10 elite souls as rewards to the soldiers who killed the most enemies this time!"

"Of course, don't worry if you haven't made a breakthrough yet. As long as you perform well, there will be plenty of opportunities for breakthroughs in the future."

"Yaskin, come and claim it."

At this moment, the elite Ascalon warrior, Yaskin walked over with excitement on his face, and took it respectfully.

He also sent these souls away.

The next moment, ten messages about increasing loyalty appeared!

The loyalty of these Ascalon soldiers has all increased to above 95!

Among them there are even three soldiers whose loyalty has reached 100!

Then, Cao Xing looked at the two new members, the Dragon Blood Fighters.

"Joanard, Jocent."

Two dragon-blood fighters with resolute faces and spears in hand walked out at the same time.

"Dear Lord, I am here!"

"Although you have only just joined, your performance today has won everyone's recognition."

What Cao Xing said was right. Today, the two Dragon Blood Fighters' opening two waves of [Ice and Snow Dragon Spear·Break] really shocked everyone.

It can be said that this wave of outburst by the two directly broke the momentum of the Hunter Squadron.

Although they are only elites, their strong combat capabilities are even not inferior to some leaders.

Cao Xing said: "I will also reward you with two souls, which will make you more powerful!"

After saying that, he directly took out two leader-level souls.

The two dragon blood fighters took it with equal excitement.

As a fighting nation, their desire for power far exceeded Cao Xing's imagination.

"You are not only a powerful lord, but also an excellent leader. Even in our Norn clan, leaders like you are extremely rare!"

Joecent next to him also echoed: "Yes, we really hope that during the Dragon War, there was such an outstanding leader who could help the Saint share the pressure. In this way, we wouldn't have had such a hard time fighting..."

There was a look of emotion in their eyes.

Two system prompts appear.

[Due to your generous gift, the loyalty of your territory member: Jonard has been improved. Current loyalty: 86]

[Due to your generous gift, the loyalty of your territory member: Joecent has been improved. Current loyalty: 87]

……

at the same time.

Cao Xing called Bron and Hilda over again.

Then he took out two intermediate power hearts.

Looking at the red crystal in Cao Xing's hand, Braum was so excited that the muscles in his upper body were shaking wildly!

"Ahaha! Braum is also going to break through to level three and become a powerful warrior!"

"Mom will definitely be happy for Bron, haha!"

Xierda next to her was also very happy. She had long wanted to break through to the third level.

She had always been suppressed by Isabel, which made her feel very aggrieved.

At this moment, under Xierda's lavender eyeshadow, a pair of dark green compound eyes looked at the red crystal in Cao Xing's hand with some uncertainty.

She asked tentatively, "Can you really give it to me?"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Of course, I promised you."

Hearing this, Xierda's lips curled up.

At this moment, the smile of this enchanting woman was like a blooming purple enchantress, so beautiful beyond words.

Even Cao Xing was slightly stunned.

It is obvious that Hilda is as beautiful as Isabel and Liu Muxue.

It's just a completely different style.

But soon, her expression changed to one of disdain.

"Tsk! This queen doesn't need your charity!"

[Due to your generous gift, the loyalty of territory member: Hilda Bloodkiss has been increased. Current loyalty: 89]

[Due to your generous gift, the loyalty of territory member: Bron Iron Wall has been increased. Current loyalty: 100]

(Loyalty is full, and the other party will now execute your orders unconditionally.)
