Chapter 320: Goblin's Treasure, a Bold Plan! (5200)

"Buzz!"

The power of thunder and lightning on Volibear exploded instantly!
All creatures within two or three hundred meters around were unable to dodge and were covered by the electric current, causing their bodies to twitch!
Fortunately, no one was hurt.

A system prompt appears,
[Your pet: Volibear has successfully broken through and has become a fourth-tier leader-level creature. Its basic attributes have increased by 30%, and it has acquired a new skill: Thunderous Skywrath! ]

[Thunderous Wrath: Volibear absorbs a large amount of thunder power, forming a huge lightning vortex above his head, and then a large amount of lightning falls, causing huge damage to enemies 500 meters below.

Thunderous wrath lasts for 5 seconds. Enemies hit by thunder will receive 189% thunder damage, and their magic resistance and movement speed will be reduced by 20% and 50%. Cooldown time: 300 seconds.

(Note: Volibear will be unable to move while summoning thunder.)
...

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy appeared in his eyes.

"Wow, Wally also succeeded in breaking through!"

"Isn't this new skill too powerful? It's a 500-meter-wide group attack, and it also reduces magic resistance and movement speed!"

Even Cao Xing's [Soul Withering] is not as powerful as this skill in terms of damage coefficient!
He even thought of the horrifying scene of Wally using this skill among a group of monsters!
"When the time comes, I will first use a wave of Ice Thousand Miles, and then follow up with Shadow Entanglement."

"Then [Soul Withering] combined with [Thunderous Skywrath], who can withstand this?"

"Hahaha!"

Cao Xing was delighted.

At the same time, two more system prompts appeared.

[Your territory member: Jonard/Jocent has successfully broken through and has become a fourth-order leader-level creature. His basic attributes have increased by 30%, and he has learned a new skill: Dragon Blood Sky Thorn! ]

...

"Yes, it is very important for a Dragon Blood Fighter to break through to the leader level."

The skill of Dragon Blood Sky Thorn is very useful. It not only has a single target coefficient of 414%, but also a group attack coefficient of 237%, and it also has a group stun effect.

It's an explosive skill.

At this point, all members have completed the breakthrough.

Cao Xing did some statistics.

Of the elite-level souls, 82 were successful and 23 failed, which is an acceptable success rate.

As for the boss-level souls, 16 were successful and 8 failed. This loss is a bit painful.

As for the 5 leader-level souls, only 3 were successful and 2 failed.

How should I describe this probability? It can only be described as average.

After all, the success rate of leader-level souls is only 45%, which is not low.

The losers were Ilena and Rab.

A man and a snake walked over with frustrated faces.

"My dear Lord/My strong Lord, I failed..."

Cao Xing smiled and comforted him: "It's nothing, it's normal."

"Next time there are souls, I will let you continue to break through."

Hear Cao Xing’s comfort.

Smiles appeared on their faces again.

So far, almost most of the more than 400 fighters under his command have been promoted.

Only a small part did not receive the heart of power or soul.

Then, he took out thousands of books of strength, spirit, agility, etc. from his backpack...

The tasks were distributed according to the attributes of the subordinates.

The few who did not receive souls or hearts of power were also given special attention by Cao Xing and were given a few more books.

At this point, this breakthrough is officially over!
And all the resources that Cao Xing had accumulated for so long were consumed in this wave!
Looking at my empty backpack.

The corners of Cao Xing's mouth twitched.

"It's great to have a breakthrough all at once, but now I'm really poor."

Having said that, he was extremely happy in his heart.

After all, after this wave of consumption, the strength of his territory has more than doubled?
At this moment, almost all types of troops have been significantly improved.

More than four hundred people stared at the man with fiery eyes.

"My Lord, you are wise and powerful, and your majesty is mighty!"

"My Lord, you are wise and powerful, and your majesty is mighty!"

Fanatical shouts echoed throughout the territory.

All the staff turned their eyes to look over.

They all felt the passion of these fighters!

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Alright, we have improved everything that needs to be improved. Now let's go home and continue training."

"Some of you will follow me tomorrow, so be prepared."

Hearing this, the soldiers below suddenly became excited!
Although they didn't know who their lord would bring with him tomorrow, they all looked expectantly at the scene.

And I hope that the lord can take me with him.

After the crowd dispersed.

Only Cao Xing and Liu Muxue were left walking side by side.

Liu Muxue also had a gentle smile on her face, "Axing, you have made a huge improvement this time."

"Those fighters adore you so much!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "It is a big achievement, but if I want to improve like this next time, I will have to accumulate experience for a long time."

"And going forward, the territory development will also require a lot of resources. We have to find a way to get more resources."

Liu Muxue nodded slightly and continued, "You just said that we will take action tomorrow. Are you preparing to participate in the war in Duolun Lake City?"

She was a smart woman. She knew from the breakthrough that Cao Xing had just made by putting all his resources into it, and from what he had just said about finding a way to get some resources.

I immediately thought of Duolun Lake City.

After all, now, only on a battlefield of that level can he gain huge benefits.

Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, the resources in that huge city are beyond imagination. In addition, there are honor points for killing those cultists, which is also a considerable income."

“Although there are some risks, it is still worth it compared to the potential gains.”

Liu Muxue thought for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, I have a few plans of action."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was also a little surprised.

"Oh? Tell me."

Liu Muxue said softly: "The battlefield situation in Duolun Lake City is complicated. I saw it through the live broadcast last time. There are at least three red-robed bishops and a large army of white walkers."

"So we have to be careful and not expose ourselves easily. Although you have the means to disguise yourself, there is still a risk of being exposed when you bring so many people with you."

"So I suggest we split into two groups tomorrow."

Cao Xing asked in confusion: "Two groups of actions?"

"Yes."

Liu Muxue continued: "We, the core combatants, will go to the front to open the way, and then find a place near the battlefield to hide our main force."

"In normal times, the army does not easily go out, so we will act first."

"If we encounter danger, these main forces can support us."

After listening to Liu Muxue's plan, Cao Xing seemed to be thinking about something.

It was obvious that she had thought this through very carefully.

This solution not only reduces the risk of exposure, but also ensures their safety.

Cao Xing was also very pleased with her changes.

"That's right, Mu Xue, let's do this tomorrow."

After hearing this, the beautiful woman in front of him also showed a gentle smile on her face.

Then they began to fill in some details of the operation.

As the two continued their conversation, a short figure stealthily appeared behind them.

And followed them all the way.

The two men's expressions changed slightly. With their current powerful strength, they could naturally sense that someone was following them.

Cao Xing also knew the identity of this stalker, so he turned around and asked, "Locke, do you have something to talk to us about?"

Hearing the sound, the figure following behind trembled his shoulders.

Then, a short figure with a pair of pointed ears and wearing a loose robe walked out from the corner.

It was the goblin craftsman that Cao Xing picked up in the mountains.

He pinched his somewhat shriveled hands, walked over embarrassedly, and then saluted respectfully.

"My dear Lord and Lady, I wish you good health."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

The goblin Locke said shyly: "Um...um...I just saw that the Lord has improved the strength of many warriors."

"This method is simply unbelievable..."

"So I want to ask, Lord... can you help me improve as well?"

Cao Xing was slightly stunned.

But I also understood the purpose of this goblin.

This guy is just an ordinary goblin of level three.

He is considered a strong man among the goblins, but in this world, this little strength is not even enough to protect himself.

So he thought of asking Cao Xing for help to improve his strength.

However, Cao Xing's consumption almost used up all the resources in his hands.

There are only 3 boss souls left.

But Locke is just an ordinary creature and needs to become an elite before he can use these souls.

Seeing that Cao Xing didn't speak, Locke thought he was hesitating.

So he quickly said: "My Lord, I won't let you help me improve for nothing!"

"I can exchange a precious thing with you. What do you think?"

"Oh? What is it?" Cao Xing also became interested.

After all, it is well known that goblins like to collect treasures.

And this goblin merchant might be hiding something good.

After thinking for a moment, the goblin Locke said, "How about... exchanging a high-level goblin airship blueprint with you?"

When Cao Xing heard the words "Gnome Airship", his eyes lit up instantly!
"You mean, an airship that can carry people and fly in the sky and has good mobility?"

Locke nodded and said, "Yes, sir. It is a high-level goblin airship. It can accommodate more than 200 people at the same time, and its maximum speed can reach nearly kilometers per hour."

"In addition, we can also install some simple offensive weapons on it..." "Of course... the energy consumption will be relatively large..."

Cao Xing narrowed his eyes.

Obviously, he was moved.

After all, although he is very mobile now, that is only for core fighters like them.

The marching capabilities of those armies were very slow.

Take tomorrow’s action, for example.

Maybe they have all arrived at Lake Duolun City, and those Ascalon warriors are still on the way!
So at this time, the goblin airship is very important.

If enough are built, it will be very convenient for me to go wherever I want in the future. I can even bring soldiers with me to achieve the effect of divine troops descending from the sky.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Of course you can, but I don't have anything that can help you break through now."

"I'll have to wait until I get some more resources back to help you improve."

Hearing this, the goblin Locke was not in a hurry, and there was a flattering smile on his face.

"It's okay, Lord. I can give you the blueprint first."

"Just remember this."

"Anyway, I still have to work in this territory for another year, so we still have a lot of time to spend together!"

Cao Xing was stunned, as if he had not expected that the goblin, who was always stingy, would be so generous.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the goblins to take out the treasures first.

However, the goblin Locke was frightened by the sight of everyone breaking through just now.

As a citizen of this territory, he knew how terrifying these soldiers would be after they all broke through!
Even those fifth-order creatures were no match for this group of soldiers.

However, there are hundreds of strong men like this in this territory.

This territory possesses such powerful strength that its reputation will surely spread throughout the entire continent in the near future!

By then, not to mention expert craftsmen like him, even master craftsmen would rush to invest.

In this way, his role will become smaller and smaller, and he might even be forgotten in some corner by the lord.

Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to show his value!
After saying that, the goblin Locke rummaged inside his coat and pulled out a yellowed drawing.

He handed it to Cao Xing respectfully.

He took it.

[Obtain: Advanced Goblin Airship Production Drawing*1]

...

Glance at the properties.

[Advanced Goblin Airship Production Drawings]

[Blueprint Description: You can make a Goblin airship using materials in the Mechanical Factory]

[Armor: 500]

Durability: 40000

[Maximum number of passengers: 0/208]

[Maximum speed: 180 km/h]

[Materials required for production: Advanced Mechanical Factory, Advanced Energy Core*1, Wood*1000, Refined Iron*3000, Copper*5000, Mithril*1000, Advanced Element Crystal*50]

(A high-end goblin technology airship with good maneuverability, but insufficient defense. There is a risk of being shot down by air forces. It is recommended to equip it with some air combat units.)
...

See the materials used to craft the Goblin Airship.

Cao Xing narrowed his eyes.

Everything else is fine, except for the [Advanced Mechanical Factory Blueprints] and [Advanced Energy Cores] which are a bit difficult to deal with.

It's impossible to produce it before tomorrow's action.

He could only put it into his backpack.

Then he nodded and said, "I understand, Locke."

"This blueprint is great. I will find a way to help you improve it later!"

After getting Cao Xing's reply, the goblin Locke was even more delighted.

He saluted respectfully and said, "Then I will continue to work in the machinery factory."

After saying that, the goblin walked away with brisk steps.

Cao Xing looked at the beauty next to him and said, "Mu Xue, you should go back to the Lord's Mansion and rest first."

"Ah."

Liu Muxue nodded obediently and left quickly.

Cao Xing continued to return to the center of the territory, preparing to put the [Bathazar's Divine Warrior Altar] into his backpack.

After all, this thing is a taboo, and it is something that the Six True Gods have ordained to destroy.

When not in use, it is better to put it in a backpack.

Just as he was about to take it back, he suddenly had an idea.

"Wait a minute, this altar of the gods can not only help the warrior profession break through to the fourth level, but also break through to the fifth level, and even the sixth level."

"It's just that I need to replenish my divine power."

"But before that, I don't know how to replenish this divine power..."

Now, Cao Xing remembered that he had obtained a prop in the witch castle before.

[Deum's divine fragment]!
Cao Xing took it out of his backpack.

The next moment, a piece of purple glass fragment, which faintly exuded a misty aura, was held in his hand.

"It is said that this thing contains a trace of divinity from the nightmare god Deum, and can be transformed into a hidden profession."

"But if the God of Nightmares is not dead, after changing his job to a hidden job, he will be controlled by that guy."

“So I never used it.”

"But this thing is just sitting there anyway. If it can be used to replenish the altar with divine power, that would be perfect!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing held the fragment and approached the altar.

The next moment, a red light came out from the altar of the gods.

System prompt appears
[Should we offer the fragment of Deum's divinity to Balthazar's altar to replenish his divine power? ]

...

Cao Xing was delighted.

"Sure enough!"

He had already made up his mind, and without any hesitation, he simply nodded "yes"!
The next moment, the altar directly swallowed up the fragment in Cao Xing's hand, which was faintly surrounded by nightmare power.

All of a sudden!
There was a bright divine light above the altar!

An invisible wave of divine power swept past.

Cao Xing once again felt a sense of oppression coming from the depths of his soul!
It makes one's legs tremble and one can't help but kneel down.

The altar of this god of war is so oppressive!
Cao Xing also struggled to suppress the feeling of oppression in his heart.

at the same time.

As the light above the altar gradually dissipated, a system prompt appeared.

[The altar has been replenished with divine power and new functions have been unlocked. ]

Cao Xing took a glance.

[Balthazar's Divine Warrior Altar (Orange): Special Building]

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect of item: You can submit certain sacrifices to obtain ancient blessings, allowing your subordinates to reach the maximum level of warrior profession advancement.]

[Details of the sacrifices required for advancement]

[Level 4623 Breakthrough to Level 5000: Same as before (Number of uses remaining: /)]

[Level 1934 Breakthrough to Level 2500: Same as before (Number of uses remaining: /)]

【四阶突破五阶：克朗*20万，食物*5000，秘银*500，专家级元素结晶*10（剩余使用次数2000/2000）】

[Level 5 breakthrough to Level 6: The altar has insufficient divine power, so this function can no longer be used (it can be enabled by replenishing divine power)]

...

"hiss!"

Cao Xing took a deep breath, and then a look of ecstasy appeared in his eyes.

"Haha! It really works!"

"There are still 2000 uses left. Isn't that too much?"

In this way, the problem of his warriors breaking through the fifth level of [Expert-level Heart of Power] was solved.

Of course, if you want so many people to break through to level five, a large amount of supplies is needed!

It costs 20 crowns to break through any one of them, and there is so much mithril and food.

Even Cao Xing found it a little too much.

Therefore, he now needs to find a way to get more resources!
Thinking of this, he put the altar directly into his backpack.

...

After doing all this, the sky gradually darkened.

Cao Xing glanced at the backpack.

Today's harvest, in addition to those powerful hearts and souls.

There is still a leader-level recruitment scroll and two golden weapons that have not been digested.

Just as Cao Xing was about to use the recruitment scroll.

A system prompt appears.

[Baron of the Ice Crystal Kingdom: Fitz Walker has requested to visit your territory...]

...

Seeing the prompt, Cao Xing's expression suddenly brightened up!
"Oh? Fitz Walker? This guy is finally here!"

...
