Chapter 309 The Magic Egg and the War Begins! (6600)
"This, this, this...isn't this too bad?" Old Mel asked guiltily.
Cao Xing smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is your relationship with Sihua not good?"
Hearing this, Old Mel's expression froze.
He looked at his lord guiltily again, as if some secret of his had been seen through.
There was a faint smile on Cao Xing's lips.
Just now when they were in the air, Cao Xing noticed that the behavior of these two people was somewhat unusual.
Speaking of which, old Mel has been single since Elisa's mother died.
Sihua's original name was Sapphire, and she was one of the first refugees taken in by Cao Xing.
She also came here to escape the war.
According to her, her son and family all died in the war.
So these two people, who are about fifty years old, seem to have found their new home in this territory...
Cao Xing was not surprised by this kind of thing.
After all, in the future, the scale of your territory will become larger and larger.
There will also be more staff members under you.
As time goes by, it is normal for these staff members to occasionally fall in love with each other and get together.
Old Mel sighed, "I will obey the Lord's orders..."
Elisa next to him looked at Old Mel with a strange look, then looked at Sihua.
Seems to realize something.
"Father……"
Before she could speak, Cao Xing interrupted and said, "Let's go and see the group of bare-feathered chickens together."
Then, he took Old Mel and Sihua out.
Elisa pouted, but she could only follow them and walked over.
They came to the door of the intermediate cowshed where the bare-feathered chickens were kept.
The door was tightly locked at this time.
Old Mel stepped forward and said, "My Lord, these bare-feathered chickens are rather irritable. After the Assam Knight locked them in yesterday, they have been making a fuss inside and even tried to escape."
"So until now, I haven't fed them any food. I plan to let them starve for a while to wear down their energy."
"When you go in later, be careful to avoid being scratched by these bare-feathered chickens."
Old Mel kept giving instructions.
Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, he pushed open the door of the cowshed.
"Crash!"
As soon as I entered, a dozen glowing chickens suddenly swooped over.
"Giggle~"
"Cuckoo~"
Strong winds blew in front of me.
As second-level magical creatures, these light-feathered chickens have relatively strong attack power.
Old Mel panicked and said, "Oh no! They want to escape!"
After hearing this, Elisa immediately grasped the longbow behind her.
Ever since she became a fighter, she has developed the habit of keeping her weapon in her hands.
Before Elisa could take action.
Cao Xing had already raised his staff and instantly released an [Ice Wall], blocking the door.
At the same time, a strong icy aura suddenly burst out from his body!
"Wow!"
The dozen or so bare-feathered chickens seemed to have suffered some serious damage, and they fell rapidly from the sky like kites with broken wings.
Old Mel quickly closed the door of the bullpen.
"Clang!"
The gate was completely closed, and these bare-feathered chickens had no hope of escaping.
In the cowshed, the group of bare-feathered chickens seemed to be very uneasy because of Cao Xing's arrival.
The aura around him posed a fatal threat to them.
Suddenly, a large number of bare-feathered chickens flew around the entire cowshed.
"Crash!"
“Chuckle~Chuckle~”
The entire flock of chickens was in a state of agitation, constantly hitting the wooden boards of the cowshed.
Old Mel looked a little anxious.
But when Cao Xing saw this, he was not surprised.
After all, he had captured these bare-feathered chickens by force, and he had not signed a pet contract, so it was normal for them to be afraid of him.
So, Cao Xing directly took out the [Glowing Branch (Gold)] from his backpack.
Instantly, a strong holy light spread out and instantly filled the entire bullpen.
The light-feathered chickens that were jumping around felt the breath of the holy light and gradually calmed down.
They slowly descended and stood on the wooden boards of the cattle pen.
All the light-feathered chickens raised their heads with intoxicated expressions on their faces, as if they were enjoying the bath in holy light.
Old Mel was surprised. "It's incredible. These bare-feathered chickens have become quiet all of a sudden!"
Elisa and Sihua next to them were also very surprised.
Little Elisa put down her weapon and asked curiously, "Woo wow! Lord, how did you do that?"
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Nothing, it's just that the goblin said last time that the Light Feather Chicken likes places with abundant holy light, so I found a branch and came here."
These little knowledge about breeding should be told to Lao Meier and Sihua.
After all, the bare-feathered chickens at the back still depend on them to take care of the flock.
After hearing this, everyone's faces showed a look of realization.
Cao Xing was looking at the green branch in his hand with a look of joy on his face.
This thing is quite convenient. When the power of holy light is not enough, just let Isabel come and replenish it.
It is equivalent to a holy light power bank.
I'll see if I can get another one when I have the chance.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing placed the branch on a beam on the top of the cowshed.
In this way, these light-feathered chickens can enjoy the bath of holy light 24 hours a day.
At this time, little Elisa had somehow sneaked into the flock of chickens.
"Cuckoo~"
Two bare-feathered chickens flew up in fright at her arrival.
Then, a small head with chicken feathers on its hair and delicate and cute facial features popped out.
Elisa said in surprise: "My Lord, guess what I found?"
Cao Xing looked a little confused, "What?"
"Dang, dang, dang! It's an egg!"
Then she stretched out her hands and opened her palms.
On top of it were two eggs that were as white as gemstones.
The eggshell was as smooth as new, looking as if it had been polished and spotless.
Moreover, through the eggshell, one can see a faint holy light emanating from inside!
Cao Xing took it.
[Obtain: Light Feather Chicken Egg (Blue)*2]
Look at the properties.
【Light-feathered chicken eggs (blue)】
[Effect 1: Yes, it can be eaten to increase satiety by 10 points and physical fitness by 5 points (effective up to 3 times)]
[Effect 2: The egg contains the power of purification. Eating it can dispel some negative states or curse effects.]
...
Seeing the properties of this egg, the confusion in Cao Xing's eyes gradually turned into surprise.
"Wow, one egg can increase your physical fitness by 5 points, and it can be effective 3 times!"
"The most important thing is that this thing can also dispel negative states and curse effects!"
"This is not an egg, this is a golden egg!!"
"That old guy Hilton will definitely like it, haha!"
Obviously, the value of such an egg is amazing!
No wonder the goblin Locke said that the profit from raising bare-feather chickens is no worse than that from raising cloud yaks.
Cao Xing seemed to see a huge sum of wealth coming towards him.
"Elissa, look in the cowshed and see how many eggs there are. Pick them all up for me."
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
Little Elisa bent down like a little raccoon, picked up the eggs one by one, and held them in her arms.
After a moment, she ran over excitedly and said, "My Lord, there are 13 eggs in total, and I picked them all up!"
Cao Xing also thought for a moment.
This group of bare-feathered chickens laid 13 eggs in just one night.
This egg production rate is still very high.
Later on, under the 24-hour bath of holy light, the egg-laying speed will increase again.
Hatch another batch of chicks, and when they grow up, Cao Xing can make a lot of profit every day!
"Well done, Elisa."
Cao Xing took away ten eggs and put the rest back.
Hopefully chicks will hatch.
"Mr. Mel, Sihua, you guys go ahead and do your work."
The two nodded slightly.
"Elissa, come with me."
"Oh! Yes, my lord!"
The little girl, holding a longbow, skipped and followed Cao Xing.
In the bullpen, Old Mel and Sihua looked at each other.
They all lowered their heads in embarrassment.
...
...
Outside the territory, Elisa followed him.
Cao Xing asked: "Tell me, how much milk do you want?"
After hearing this, Elisa said shyly, "Hehehe, no need, Lord, you have already given me a lot of rewards..."
In the mountains, Cao Xing gave her weapons, soul, and the heart of power.
It can be said that this little girl has been greatly improved.
She naturally knew how valuable these things were, and the other subjects were envious of them.
Cao Xing smiled and said, "I promised you, I will not break my promise."
"Besides, this is nothing."
Elisa hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then...just give me two buckets of milk!"
"One bucket for me and one for sister Chuchu."
Cao Xing laughed. Just as he thought, this little girl was quite sensible.
There are only 10 liters of milk in a bucket, which is not much compared to her contribution.
"No problem, go to the kitchen and ask Dahua to take you there, and tell her that I gave you permission."
The little girl was immediately delighted.
She straightened her legs and bowed 90 degrees, "Thank you, handsome lord!"
After saying that, he jumped away and went to find Tong Chuchu.
She seemed to be so lively all the time, as if nothing could make her unhappy.
Being with this little girl, Cao Xing felt that his mood had improved a lot.
A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips, and he looked at his backpack again.
There were large quantities of precious cloth and various metals.
"Now, distribute all these resources, and the harvest in that camp will be almost completely digested."
Cao Xing went straight to the Blacksmith Shop.
However, what was different from the past was that there were actually two figures inside.
In addition to Harold who was forging, the half-giant Putana was also helping to carry some materials next to him.
After the two saw Cao Xing.
He immediately put down what he was doing, bowed respectfully and said, "Dear Lord, I wish you good health."
"Harold, why did you ask your wife to come and help?" Cao Xing was a little confused.
Harold said embarrassedly: "It's like this, there was no ice nest coming these two days, so there was no battle."
"My wife is naturally restless and doesn't want to stay in the room all the time, so I asked her to come to the blacksmith shop to help me."
Cao Xing nodded.
"Putana is pregnant, so she needs to rest."
"You can use these ten eggs to nourish her body."
After hearing this, the two of them looked at the basket in Cao Xing's hand and the ten glowing eggs.
The appearance of eggs from bare-feathered chickens is very different from that of ordinary eggs.
They even felt a purifying force within it.
As mercenaries who traveled far and wide, they naturally understood the extraordinary nature of these eggs. For a moment, neither of them took any.
Harold said embarrassedly: "This... is not necessary, Lord. My wife is in good health and does not need any supplements."
"These eggs are very valuable. You should keep them for yourself."
Even Putana next to her nodded.
Cao Xing understood their thoughts and smiled.
"Don't worry, I caught a lot of chickens yesterday. Our territory will be able to produce a lot of these eggs every day."
"Take it first."
The couple looked at each other, decided not to refuse, and took it.
However, there was a look of emotion in their eyes.
The two of them bowed at the same time and said solemnly: "Thank you for your care, Lord. You have always taken good care of us!"
"We will always remember your kindness!"
[Because you care about your subordinates, the loyalty of territory member: Harold Iceberg has been increased. Current loyalty: 100]
(Loyalty has reached the maximum value, and the other party will now execute your orders unconditionally)
[Because you care about your subordinates, the loyalty of territory member: Putana has been improved. Current loyalty: 95]
...
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing remained silent, but a smile appeared in his heart.
He waved his hand, "Nothing Harold."
"Now, let's talk business."
Harold's expression suddenly straightened up.
Cao Xing continued, "I want to make a pair of boxing gloves. Do you have the corresponding drawings that I can make directly?"
The boxing gloves were naturally prepared for Victoria. The last time she went out, she had demonstrated her strong fighting power and team support capabilities.
Such a powerful subject must naturally be well trained.
When Harold heard this question, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
"There are even fewer strong people who fight with fists than with tridents."
"And it's not like cold weapons. To make some powerful gloves, you need to use the leather of wild beasts, and then use special craftsmanship and mix in a small amount of mithril."
“And then you sew it together to make a complete pair of gloves.”
"If the Lord has the fur of a powerful beast, I can try to make it."
Cao Xing nodded suddenly.
Want the pelts of a powerful beast?
Come to think of it, he really doesn't have this kind of material.
So Cao Xing nodded and said, "Okay, I got it. I'll come back to you when I get the furs."
Harold nodded.
After bidding farewell to the couple, Cao Xing left the blacksmith shop.
Then, he went straight to the sewing shop and took out all the cloth he had looted in the camp.
The two mature and charming women looked at the various rolls of cloth that suddenly appeared, and there was a look of surprise in their beautiful eyes.
"Wow, that's a lot of fabric!"
Xia Yanni was surprised and said, "With so much silk and gauze, they must be very valuable. Your Excellency is really capable..."
Elena beside him also chuckled and said, "Yes, our Lord is so capable."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't be begging for mercy again and again~"
Elena is still so unrestrained.
And the tone was extremely teasing.
Xia Yanni is a person with more traditional ideas.
Although she was already very familiar with Cao Xing, she was still a little shy and didn't feel comfortable responding to Elena's words.
Cao Xing said: "Elena, Yanni, I'm sorry to trouble you with these fabrics and furs."
"Make them all into clothes. Use those tulle fabrics to make a few dresses."
Even if this batch of cloth rolls is sold to those merchants as raw materials, a lot of profits can be obtained.
However, the finished garments are worth more than the fabrics they sell.
Cao Xing is now short of money, food, supplies, almost everything.
So try to maximize your profits.
The two mature women looked at each other.
Elena had a charming smile on her face and said softly, "No problem, Lord, leave it to us. We can complete it in two days~"
"Now, we have to start working. Lord, please get busy first."
These two young women are very sensible.
They knew when to pester Cao Xing and when not to, and they were very tactful.
Cao Xing also smiled, then kissed each of them on the face and left the sewing shop.
After doing all this, the morning was over.
And Cao Xing naturally still has things to do.
"According to the information revealed by the survivors in the chat channel yesterday, the king's army will officially attack Duolun Lake City this afternoon."
"I always feel that the Church of Light is not that simple."
"It's a good opportunity to see their strength."
As for how to look at it, this is also very simple.
There are many live broadcast posts on the world forum now.
They were all initiated by the survivors who rushed to the vicinity of Lake Duolun City.
This battle has also attracted widespread attention from survivors around the world.
Therefore, in each live broadcast room, there are at least one million people online at the same time.
Cao Xing also returned to the lord's cabin, then hugged Liu Muxue and watched the live broadcast together.
...
...
Near the city of Duolun Lake at this time.
More than 20,000 soldiers of the kingdom and more than 2,000 knights have all been assembled.
And next to them, there are a large number of rangers, mercenaries, and teams consisting of survivors and their men.
There are tens of thousands of people.
It's quite a force.
At this moment, the mighty kingdom army automatically made way for them.
A knight riding a black lion and wearing armor quickly shuttled through the army and came to the center.
Then it stopped in front of a black chariot.
The knight reported: "General! All soldiers have been assembled and can launch an attack at any time!"
"But before that, can we let the rangers and survivors attack first and help us explore the way?"
There was no response from the chariot, and after a moment a light laugh was heard.
"Captain Kane, I know what you're thinking."
"But you also have to know that although these people are weak, they are not fools."
“Without knowing the strength of the cultists inside, these people will not charge forward.”
The knight outside was startled, "What does the general mean?"
The voice inside replied: "Don't worry about them. Just treat these people as dispensable."
"Next, once the fight starts, they will see that we have the advantage and will naturally charge forward."
Hearing this, the knight captain's expression suddenly became stern.
"The general's control over people's hearts is truly exquisite."
The general said again: "There is no such thing as controlling people's hearts. It's just about interests."
"People live to pursue something that doesn't need to be illusory..."
After a pause, the general inside continued, "Okay, pass on my order to activate the Neros cannons and troll catapults, and prepare to break through the barrier of Duolun Lake City."
"Then, everyone attack!"
The knight captain said respectfully: "Yes, sir!"
After saying this, he quickly shuttled through the army.
Meanwhile, in the army, a bugler blew the horn to attack.
"Woo——"
A heavy horn sounded.
The survivors in the distance were all startled, and seemed to understand the meaning of the horn.
They were discussing excitedly in the chat channel.
"Brothers, the war is about to begin. This is the first large-scale war we have witnessed since coming to this world. It is really exciting!"
"+1 to the above, I have opened a live broadcast thread on the World Forum, and there are already many people online!"
"I also started a live broadcast, holy shit! The number of people watching online at the same time has exceeded one million! Damn, it's a pity that the World Forum cannot accept gifts, otherwise I would have made a lot of money from this wave!"
"..."
This battle has attracted the attention of countless survivors around the world.
now.
As the kingdom's army moves.
Those giant siege crossbows and troll catapults all launched terrifying attacks!
"Swoosh! Boom!"
Huge crossbow arrows, thousand-pound boulders, and cannonballs all whizzed out!
The sound of breaking air continued to be heard.
“Hoo—Hoo—”
These crossbow arrows and artillery shells landed on the outer layer of the barrier, immediately causing a violent explosion.
"Boom!!!"
The terrifying power caused a layer of the surrounding snow to suddenly fly away!
However, this is just the beginning.
The next moment, more attacks were launched one after another.
Violent explosions continued to sound, causing the barrier to vibrate continuously.
Even though they were two or three thousand meters away, the survivors who were watching the battle still felt a buzzing in their ears!
The survivor who was watching the live broadcast exclaimed.
"Holy crap! Is this the war in the fantasy world? It's primitive, but cool enough!"
"It's so powerful! The shells thrown by those catapults have such a powerful explosion!"
"I remember that this thing can be exchanged for 2000 honor points. If I can bring one to my territory, I will be invincible!"
"That Destroyer Siege Crossbow is pretty powerful. It only costs 1000 honor points. If you work hard, there's still hope of getting it."
I had only seen these redemption items in the Honor Store before, and I didn’t know their specific properties.
Now seeing it with their own eyes, its terrifying power directly impressed everyone on the field, and made them more eager to switch to another one.
"But speaking of it, the barrier of Duolun Lake City is quite strong. It can last for so long."
"Yeah, it feels like if this continues, it will take a lot of effort for the army to break the barrier."
And just then.
In the army, two huge cannons that were blood red and had muzzle diameters of more than one meter suddenly started up.
"boom!!!"
Everyone felt that even the ground within a thousand or two kilometers around them shook!
Then, two shells with a diameter of more than sixty or seventy centimeters were suddenly fired.
The two shells left thick smoke trails in the air, like a long dragon of smoke.
It fell on the barrier and immediately caused a shocking explosion!
"Boom!!!"
Two balls of flame shot up into the sky, reaching a height of more than 100 meters.
The terrifying power directly blew away all the snow near Duolun Lake City.
Even the people watching the game from afar felt a buzzing sensation in their ears.
And the seemingly indestructible golden barrier had a large number of cracks on its surface.
"Holy crap! Is this the Neros Cannon? The one that was exchanged for 10,000 honor points in the Honor Store?"
"Isn't this power too freaking terrifying? I'm afraid even those knights will be killed in large numbers by this cannon!"
"+1, with this shot, I feel like my territory is gone."
"So perverted!"
The king's army finally showed their strength at this moment.
at the same time!
The two huge cannons launched a second round of attack!
"Boom! Boom!"
Shocking explosions continued to sound.
Accompanied by flames shooting up into the sky.
And more cracks continued to appear on the golden barrier.
However, despite the Ice Crystal Kingdom's army's repeated bombings, there seemed to be no sign of anyone coming out.
It looked like the barrier was about to be breached.
And just then.
Everyone suddenly felt a chill above their heads.
