Chapter 190 Hogg Village asks for help, action plan!

After reading the properties of the [Polar Hut], Cao Xing exclaimed in admiration.

"Not bad, not bad. We can summon 12 more polar people to work!"

"However, if you want to continue upgrading, you must first upgrade the Lord's Cottage to the Lord's Mansion."

Cao Xing looked at the upgrade conditions of the lord's hut again.

[Lord's Hut: Level 5]

[Armor: 150]

Durability: 4000

[Current population capacity: 342/606]

[Required conditions for the next level: Level 11 furnace, wood*1000, stone*600, iron*300, refined iron*100, mithril*10, intermediate element crystal*20]

[Time required for upgrade: 95 hours and 51 minutes]

【Number of people working at the same time: 0/4】

...

Since the bonfire is the core of this territory, the prerequisite for many buildings is that the bonfire level must reach the required level.

However, Cao Xing had already upgraded the bonfire to level 15, turning it into a furnace.

So there is no concern in this regard at all.

"Yes, if the Lord's Hut is upgraded to another level, it can become the Lord's Mansion. However, the upgrade will take a little time."

"Now is a good time to recruit another group of polar people to speed up the progress of the work."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing went straight to the [Polar Hut] and clicked on recruiting.

A system prompt appears.

[Do you want to consume food*600 and recruit 12 polar people? ]

...

The food needed to recruit polar people can be easily afforded by most of the current survivors.

However, the recruitment requirements are not difficult; the difficult part is how to provide food for these polar people.

After all, a polar person still needs to eat 20 pieces of food a day.

Of course, Cao Xing had just obtained tens of thousands of kilograms of food last night, so it can be said that the reserves are sufficient.

Not to mention 12 polar people, even if there were 120 more polar people, it would not be a problem at all.

He simply nodded 'yes'.

At the same time, the polar man's hut began to shake.

Rumble!
Then, 12 polar people with different appearances, wearing gray cotton clothes and cotton hats, came out one after another.

"Dear Lord!"

"Polar Man: Vivek/Denish/Danilo...reports to you."

Although they are short in stature, they stand very straight, like a group of new recruits waiting for inspection by their superiors.

At the same time, these polar people were also secretly looking at this territory.

As they observed, the astonishment in their eyes grew stronger.

Obviously, the development level of Cao Xing's territory is beyond the imagination of these polar people!
Cao Xing also said: "I am Lord Cao Xing, welcome to join us."

"Let us work together to build a more prosperous territory."

Cao Xing treats these staff members equally and gives them the respect they deserve.

The polar people gradually breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the new lord seemed quite kind.

Then, a polar man named Danilo said with a silly smile: "My Lord, the aura on your body is as ferocious as that of an earth dragon!"

"I feel like even the strongest warrior in the tribe is no match for you."

His words were recognized by other polar people, and everyone echoed him.

"Yes, this lord has shocking strength!
"And this territory. This is the first time I've come to such a magical territory. It's so warm, just like lying in the arms of a mother..."

"Haha, other polar people told us that being recruited by the lord of another world means a hard life. Now it seems that this is not the case!"

Listening to their admiration, Cao Xing smiled.

Then, he glanced at their attributes again and nodded secretly.

They are all polar people of level 2 to 4, similar to the first batch of recruits.

Loyalty is also in the early 60s, which is pretty good.

Cao Xing said: "From today on, you will be under the command of Duan, and he will lead you in your work."

The twelve polar men immediately straightened their bodies and said respectfully, "As you command! Mighty Lord!"

Then he looked at Duan next to him and said, "Master Duan, please lead us to start work!"

Duan seemed unaccustomed to being called "sir" and looked at Cao Xing awkwardly.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Duan, today you will lead the others to continue upgrading the Lord's Hut, and then build the primary brewery."

"Besides that, we need to continue building the Elemental Arrow Tower."

"As for the extra polar people, you can ask them to repair the city wall."

Duan quickly wrote down Cao Xing's tasks one by one.

After he finished speaking, Duan immediately straightened his body and said respectfully: "Yes, Lord!"

"We promise to get the job done!"

After saying that, he led these dozen or so polar people, as well as the polar people behind him, and started to work.

After the crowd gradually dispersed.

And Cao Xing went straight to the [Sewing Shop].

Currently, Xia Yanni is the only one inside.

After seeing Cao Xing coming in, Xia Yanni smiled gently, "Sir...you are here..."

Cao Xing nodded, then asked in confusion: "Yanni, where is Chuchu?"

Xia Yanni replied softly: "My Lord... Chuchu took little Wally out to deal with those ice nest monsters..."

"She also told me excitedly that she followed you in the battle last night and summoned robots to blow up several hunters."

When she said this, a maternal smile appeared on the beautiful woman's face, as if she was pleased to see her child grow up.

However, without Tong Chuchu's company, Xia Yanni seemed a little lonely.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "The workload of the sewing shop is still quite heavy. The beast leathers we hunted before also need to be sewn after they are processed. Xia Yanni can't handle it alone."

"Let's see if we can recruit someone else later to help her share the pressure."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing took out all the cloud yak hair from his backpack and said.

"Yanni, I'll have to trouble you for a few days. Use these hairs to make a few sets of clothes first."

"See if you can cut it into a coat style. We'll need it when we go out."

Hearing this, Xia Yanni quickly said: "No...it's not hard..."

"You are the one who has worked so hard... Not only do you have to take care of us mother and daughter, but you also have to take care of such a large territory..."

Having said that, she lowered her head shyly and spoke softly.

"If you feel stressed, you can always come to see Yanni..."

As she spoke, her voice became as thin as a mosquito.

But Cao Xing heard it very clearly.

The mature and shy beautiful woman in front of me lowered her head and pressed her legs together.

One look at it makes you want to hold it in your arms and love it.

He was just about to step forward.

At this moment, a system prompt appeared.

[Hogg Village Militia: Arno requests to visit your territory, do you agree? ]

Cao Xing stopped walking and couldn't help wondering, "The militia from Hog Village wants to visit my territory. How did they find me?"

Xia Yanni saw the expression on Cao Xing's face, and then whispered: "Sir... is there something wrong outside?"

"It's something."

"Then...then you go ahead and do your work, sir. Put the hair in the storage box first. Jenny will do it according to your instructions..."

Cao Xing also knew that business was more important, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

After that, he agreed to Arnault's request for a visit.

Then, Cao Xing left the sewing shop and went straight to the outside of the territory.

In the distance, a somewhat familiar figure was approaching the city wall quickly.

Because now most of the survivors’ territories have built arrow towers.

So when the indigenous people approach, they have to apply first.

Otherwise, once you enter the attack range, you will be attacked mercilessly by the arrow tower.

Cao Xing took a quick look and found that only Arno came.

Then he opened the city gate and came to the other side.

When the militiaman Arno saw Cao Xing, his face showed a complex expression of excitement, fear, etc.

He almost trembled as he said, "Lord Cao Xing, I finally found you..."

Cao Xing asked in confusion: "How did you get here?"

Compared to Arno's purpose, Cao Xing was more curious about how these natives found him.

After all, he had just made a big profit last night and didn't want to be exposed so soon.

Arno took a few deep breaths, as if trying to calm his excitement.

Then explain slowly.

"That's right, Master Cao Xing."

"When you came to Hog Village earlier, you told the village chief that your territory was nearby."

“So we sent out several militiamen to search everywhere.”

"During this time, I also met a few nearby surviving lords. I paid a certain amount of crowns and asked them if they knew where Lord Cao Xing was." "Then, they told me a rough location."

"I started searching along the direction they pointed out, and saw this huge territory from afar, so I guessed that this might be your territory!"

After listening to Arno's explanation, Cao Xing nodded.

The location of his territory is no longer a secret.

After all, the last use of the [Ice Dragon Horn] had already made many survivor lords aware that Cao Xing's territory was nearby.

Moreover, although Cao Xing did a job last night.

But those hunters shouldn't suspect me.

Because in their perception, the lords of the other world are a group of weak beings, and it is impossible for them to have the strength to overthrow a camp of 600 people.

Cao Xing continued: "Arno, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Militiaman Arno hurriedly said, "Lord Cao Xing, we are here to ask you for help!"

"We in Hog ​​Village have been in trouble recently. We have no choice but to come to you..."

"Trouble?" Cao Xing frowned.

"Yes!"

Arno explained: "In recent days, there have been snow demons appearing in our Hog Village every night, and there are more than one!"

"At most, there were even five snow demons!"

"They knock on the doors of villagers' houses every night, causing panic among the people."

"You should know about creatures like the Snow Demon. If it targets someone, even if the door is not open at night, it will break in and devour the hearts of the villagers inside."

"In just a few days, the number of villagers whose hearts were dug out by the Snow Demon has reached dozens!"

Speaking of this, there was great fear in the tone of militiaman Arno.

Cao Xing also realized it after hearing this, and he subconsciously asked: "Is Elena okay?"

Hearing the name, militiaman Arno was stunned.

Then he quickly said, “Ms. Elena is fine for now.”

"But she seemed to have almost been attacked by a snow demon last night, and now she doesn't dare to go out."

"You know, the village is very weak, and there is nothing we can do."

Hearing this, Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this woman has some relationship with him and is a pretty nice person.

If possible, Cao Xing didn't want anything to happen to her.

But when he heard that Elena was attacked by the snow demon last night, he became worried again.

Arno suppressed the fear in his heart at this time, and then continued: "Lord Cao Xing, evil creatures like the Snow Demon are too powerful and cannot be killed at all."

"And our Hog Village is very weak. If we don't ask for help, it won't be long before the whole village will be destroyed by these snow demons!"

"But our Hog Village does not belong to the territories of those nobles, and we don't know those powerful beings..."

"After much thought, the most powerful person around here is you."

"So we decided that the entire Hog Village would contribute funds together. Every household raised 87442 crowns. Please help us once!"

"Please, merciful Lord Cao Xing!"

Arno finished speaking, and a system prompt appeared.

[Hogg Village issues you a commissioned task: Expel the Snow Demon]

[Mission content: At night, drive away or kill the snow demons that invade Hogg Village so that they no longer harass the village]

[Task Reward: Hogg Village Favorability Improvement, Coins*87422]

【Whether to accept? 】

...

Seeing this system prompt, Cao Xing was thoughtful.

He knew how difficult it was to deal with the snow demon.

Last time, so many people almost got away with that snow demon.

In the end, it was Sarah's [Shadow Bloom] that put an end to the snow demon.

This time, the snow demon that appeared in Hogg Village is probably even more powerful than the one that came to Cao Xing’s territory last time.

But compared to the previous few days, their strength has more than increased several times.
At this moment, Cao Xing remembered something.

He thought to himself, "I remember that champion fighter once said that it takes a lot of snow demon tongues to catch the king salmon in Snowfall Lake."

"And King Salmon involves a complete legendary weapon - the Sword of the Lady of the Lake."

"Before, I didn't know where to find a large number of snow demons. This time is an opportunity..."

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said, "I understand. Go back and tell the village chief that I will bring people to Hog Village in the afternoon to help you expel the snow demon."

When the militiaman heard Cao Xing's agreement, excitement suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He knelt on his knees on the snow and kowtowed to Cao Xing, saying, "Thank you! You are such a powerful and kind lord!"

"We in Hog ​​Village will always remember you!"

A system prompt appears.

[Successfully accepted the commissioned task: Expel the Snow Demon]

Cao Xing helped Arno up.

Then, under his gaze, Arno quickly left and returned to Hogg Village.

After he left.

Cao Xing also began to think about how to deal with the snow demon.

"These snow demons have strong survivability and are also very cautious. When faced with a large number of enemies, they will simply flee."

"And when its health drops to a certain limit, it will use a skill called [Yu Xue Shen] to remove all control states and escape."

"So, to deal with this kind of creature, you can't bring too many people."

"You can only use your strongest attack power to kill it instantly, otherwise it will escape again."

"And in my territory, only Sarah has this kind of powerful explosive power."

"But this time, there is more than one snow demon in Hog ​​Village..."

Cao Xing fell into deep thought again.

After a moment, he came up with a new plan.

"Since there is no other means to kill the snow demon instantly except Sarah, let's use its skill characteristics."

"The Snow Demon can only use the bug-like escape skill of Yuxue Shen when its health drops below 30%."

"So, I can use some means to control these snow demons first, and then start to drain their blood volume."

"When their health drops to about 30%, if several ranged units launch their strongest attacks at the same time, there should be a chance that they will be killed instantly!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing already had an idea.

That is, bring a few more powerful ranged units.

Then bring some melee combat and secretly use the [Ejection Rope Hook] to control these snow demons.

When the Snow Demon's health drops to a certain level, focus your fire on it and kill it instantly!

So he quickly returned to his territory and shouted.

"Ellie, Sylvia, come here."

Hearing Cao Xing's call,
Two wizard ladies walked over slowly, holding their staffs.

"My Lord, are you calling me?"

Sylvia, with some freckles on her face, had a cheerful smile.

Ellie stood aside timidly, holding a magic wand.

She also greeted him softly, "Lord... Lord..."

Cao Xing didn't say much and glanced at their levels.

Both of them have reached level 18, which is pretty good progress.

So Cao Xing said directly: "I have to go out tonight and take all the long-range units with me, so you have to go out with me too."

Their loyalty has reached over 90, and they basically will not disobey Cao Xing's orders.

The two wizard ladies nodded at the same time.

"In the name of the goddess Melandru, we will follow your orders."

Then, Cao Xing took out two elite souls from his backpack and gave them to them.

"Use it. We will be fighting an evil creature tonight. Before that, improve your strength first."

Looking at the soul in front of you.

There was surprise in the eyes of the two female mages at first, and then disbelief.

After all, through what happened last night, they all knew the powerful effects of these souls!
This is actually a magical item that can enhance their potential!

Sylvia asked in disbelief: "Lord... Lord... are you really going to give us such a valuable thing?"

"We are just wizard apprentices who have mastered some basic magic..."

"I'm not... I'm not qualified to use such a precious thing..."

But Cao Xing directly said: "You are now apprentices of mages, will you be apprentices of mages for the rest of your lives?"

"Don't you want to be a wizard, a great wizard?"

Hearing this, the two girls looked at each other and then spoke firmly.

"miss you!"

"We also want to become powerful wizards!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Then use it."

"Follow me, and all these dreams will come true!"
