Chapter 324: Action Begins, Encountering a Herd of Mammoths (5600)
[Attention all survivors! The king's second wave of troops has arrived at Duolun Lake City. Now we are calling on all survivors to go to Duolun Lake City to participate in the battle. ]
[In order to encourage you to kill the enemy bravely, killing the White Walkers in the city will also earn you the same honor points as killing the Hunters. ]
[Weather forecast: Today is sunny, with light wind, and the highest temperature is -47℃~-56℃. ]
...
When the prompt was seen, there was a burst of boos in the chat channel.
Shao Yao: "Fuck, the king's army is here again, and he's still calling on us to join the battle. Aren't they treating us like idiots?"
Qiao Chaowen: "That's right, so many people died last time, I won't go this time no matter what, I don't want to be cannon fodder."
Zhong Mou: "They also said that killing White Walkers will also give honor points as a reward. I fucking laughed. Those White Walkers are so terrifying. How can we deal with them?"
Lan Lin: "Haha, you're right. It's better for me to stay at home and develop my territory."
"..."
Obviously, the last experience has made everyone doubt the strength of the Ice King and have also witnessed the horror of the White Walkers.
Now, even if more ways to obtain honor points were added, no one was willing to go.
At this moment, a survivor in the chat channel suddenly spoke.
Wu Xinghu: "I think it's necessary to give it a try this time."
There was silence in the chat channel for a moment.
If anyone else said this, they would surely be attacked by the survivors.
But as one of the strongest legion commanders in District 17, Wu Xinghu's words still carry a lot of weight.
"Captain Wu, why do you think so?"
"Yes, yes, Captain Wu, do you have any gossip? Share it with everyone!"
Wu Xinghu said: "There is no gossip, just some personal speculation."
"As I have said before, the king's army suffered a crushing defeat for the first time, but it was not a meaningless defeat."
"At least, this allows them to understand the strength of this group of cultists."
"So this time, the king will definitely dispatch enough forces to deal with various emergencies."
"If we join the battlefield this time, the risk should be much smaller."
After hearing this, everyone seemed to think that what Wu Xinghu said made sense.
But the scene of tens of thousands of strong men being slaughtered last time is still vivid in our minds.
For a moment, no one dared to make a decision immediately.
Someone asked tentatively: "Captain Wu, will you go this time?"
Wu Xinghu laughed and said, "Maybe he will go, maybe he won't."
The survivors were also confused by this ambiguous answer.
But it’s not easy for everyone to ask further questions.
For a moment, many people were moved.
...
...
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue naturally also saw the system prompt.
"Oh? Now you can get honor points for killing these White Walkers?"
There was a slight look of surprise in his eyes.
Then comes joy.
"I said before that the king doesn't want people to collect 100,000 honor points to exchange for that legendary weapon."
"And now, there is a glimmer of hope!"
After all, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 White Walkers in that city.
If you can kill a group of them, you will definitely gain a lot of honor points!
Cao Xing counted the number of honor points he had and found that he had a little over 30,000.
Including various masks, there are about 45,000 of them.
Kill a group of White Walkers and then go to the trading channel to buy a group of masks, which should be enough to get 10 honor points.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing's mouth curled up.
"Mu Xue, get up."
"Let's follow the plan we discussed yesterday. We have to hurry up and get on the road."
Duolun Lake City is thousands of kilometers away from their territory!
Even if Cao Xing and others had amazing speed, it would still take at least five or six hours to arrive even if they traveled at full speed.
Moreover, according to yesterday's plan, they were going to split into two teams and move forward.
So they have to hurry up.
Cao Xing sighed at this time: "What a pity, it would be great if we could build a goblin airship."
"Let's see if we can get a blueprint of an advanced machinery factory this time."
"With the Goblin airship, it becomes much more convenient."
The two got up quickly and started to wash.
Three minutes later.
They came to the playground in the center of the territory.
Cao Xing shouted.
"Combatants, assemble."
After hearing the sound, hundreds of figures suddenly walked out.
They lined up in an orderly manner according to yesterday's team.
At this moment, hundreds of fighters were looking at Cao Xing with fiery eyes.
Cao Xing looked around and found that they were all eager to fight.
In the corner, there was a figure standing alone.
It was the beast-eared assassin summoned last night.
She wasn't familiar with the people in this territory, so she couldn't find the organization.
Cao Xing didn't say much and gave the order directly.
"All Ascalon warriors, wild boar warriors, and dragon blood fighters, step out!"
Wow!
More than two hundred figures stood out.
There were looks of surprise and excitement on their faces.
Because this means that their lord is going to take them out to fight.
The soldiers who were not named felt a little disappointed.
The Centaur Kandar asked nearby: "Oh! Strong Lord, are you not going to take us Centaurs with you?"
Cao Xing shook his head. "We are going to carry out a special operation this time, so we shouldn't bring too many people with us."
Not bringing centaurs was also a consideration.
After all, the devil's disguise can hide the aura of everyone.
But some physical characteristics cannot be changed.
For example, the lower body of a centaur.
Therefore, it is better to bring some human troops.
Disguise is also more difficult to detect.
Moreover, the force Cao Xing brought this time is strong enough.
Among them, the most powerful is naturally the Dragon Blood Fighter Legion.
Among more than thirty people.
There is a commander-in-chief, four chiefs, seven leaders, and most of the others are elites.
Once this group of dragon-blood fighters erupt in unison, their terrifying strength will be enough to scare the enemy!
Cao Xing continued: "Cantel, although I didn't bring you with me this time, your mission is equally important."
"Now that the city wall has not been built, we need to leave a group of people in the territory to defend it, and at the same time ensure the safety of those staff members."
"And all archers, go to the training range to practice. I hope to see you learn new skills as soon as possible."
"Can it be done?"
The Centaurs and the nightmare archers wiped away the disappointment on their faces and shouted in unison: "We will complete the mission!"
Cao Xing smiled.
"Lab, you warriors who are going out with me must not relax. This operation may be dangerous."
"You must obey orders."
Hearing this, the boar warriors and Ascalon warriors nodded, including the group of dragon blood fighters.
They said excitedly: "Please rest assured, Lord, we will absolutely obey your orders 100%!"
Cao Xing nodded slightly.
Then he continued to call the roll.
"Sarah, Assam, Andrew, Bron, Hilda, Isabel..."
It’s still the same dozen people from yesterday.
Including the witch Francesca, Bertier Sunstrider, and the earth mage Tyrone Rockspeaker.
Victoria Santa Cruz is among them.
There are also the mammoth Baymax, the frost moose Blue, Volibear, and even the goblin mecha.
Normally, there is no need for these big guys to appear.
Once a large-scale battle occurs, these big guys will play a huge role!
This time, it can be said that the strongest fighting force in the territory was brought out by him.
Of course, he still left many experts in the territory.
For example, two boss-level female mages, the Centaur Legion, and more than thirty earth mages.
The total number of combatants is nearly 200.
Enough to cope with large-scale enemy attacks.
Then, Cao Xing said, "Okay, everyone else can go home."
Everyone dispersed in a swarm.
Soon, only about 200 fighters were left on the field.
At this time, last night's newcomer, Heli Feiying, came over.
She walked forward cautiously, her ears twitching and she looked very nervous.
When Elisa and Tong Chuchu saw this girl with animal ears, they showed surprise on their faces!
I even subconsciously wanted to rush over and touch her cute little ears.
However, when they thought of their lord being beside them, they gave up the idea.
He Li Feiying came to Cao Xing barefoot and said, "You...you guys want to go out?"
Cao Xing nodded.
The beast-eared girl said, "I want to go out with you, too!"
"You are right. My strength is indeed too weak, so I want to contribute to the territory as soon as possible, and then learn assassination skills from this powerful assassin sister..."
Compared to her attitude last night, this new animal-eared girl has undergone a huge change.
Although she suffered a loss at the hands of Sarah in the competition last night, she still refused to accept the defeat.
After all, as a fourth-level leader, he is considered a master wherever he goes.
I just had bad luck.
I came across the strongest being in this territory.
However, after one night, she finally had a clear understanding of the strength of this territory!
Here, there are many beings more powerful than her.
Even some ordinary fourth-level soldiers felt a strong sense of threat!
This made Heli Feiying wonder what kind of territory she had come to?
Or has she been sealed in the alien dimension for too long and has become disconnected from this world?
Could it be that any random fourth-order expert nowadays is so powerful?
For a moment, a feeling of frustration surged in He Li Feiying's heart, and at the same time, she completely put away her pride.
At this time, Cao Xing did not immediately agree after hearing the request of the animal-eared girl.
Instead, he fell into deep thought.
After all, this time they were not just going out simply, but were going to do something important.
He didn't trust this newcomer very much, so there were many things he couldn't reveal.
There wasn't even a status attached to her.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing was ready to refuse.
Let her develop loyalty in the territory for a while.
However, this animal-eared assassin seemed to know that Cao Xing did not believe in her.
She quickly said: "Please rest assured, I will definitely obey your orders!"
“If…if you don’t believe me, you can put this on for me.”
After saying that, she took out something that looked like a collar from her arms.
Cao Xing asked in confusion: "What is this?"
The beast-eared girl said, "This is... This is the [Spiritual Contract Magic Ring] that controls us subhumans. Put it around my neck and it can control us."
"With just a thought, you can tighten the collar, making it hard for me to breathe and prevent me from using the power of the dark night..."
Hearing this, Cao Xing looked strange.
Why does this thing sound a bit perverted?
Even Elisa next to her had a strange look in her eyes.
But she didn't show it. Instead, she looked at the girl with animal ears, then at Cao Xing, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
He Li Feiying saw that Cao Xing still did not agree.
She bit her lower lip lightly, seeming to have made some kind of decision.
Then she actually put the necklace around her neck.
The next moment, a system prompt appears.
[Territory member: Heli Feiying is handing over the control of the [Spiritual Contract Magic Ring] to you. After accepting it, you will be able to control the magic ring and exert control over it.]
...
Cao Xing looked strange.
But I still chose to accept it.
The next moment, Cao Xing felt that he was connected to the magic ring.
With a thought, I tried to control it.
The collar on the neck of the animal-eared girl in front of him suddenly tightened!
She had a very uncomfortable expression.
The tiny canine teeth were exposed and breathing became increasingly difficult.
A soft panting sound like a cat came from his mouth.
"Uh...uh..."
It made everyone around him feel embarrassed.
Cao Xing just tried it once and immediately took back control of this thing.
Heli Scarlet Shadow breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she patted her flat chest and said, "Now, can you rest assured?"
"You can always use this to punish me if I don't obey."
Cao Xing nodded speechlessly.
"I understand. Just stay in the team."
"Everyone else, throw a status to her."
Since this animal-eared assassin is so sensible, she has even handed over this thing that controls life to me.
Then Cao Xing naturally had to show the demeanor that a lord should have.
After hearing the order, everyone used various skills on He Li's head.
Black smoke totem, firepower amplification, snake people frenzy, queen's will...
The aura of this animal-eared girl began to grow rapidly.
As each permanent status was added, Heli Feiying's dark green pupils continued to widen.
"God of Darkness, what is this...Oh my God!"
She was so shocked that she became incoherent.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue also threw ice healing, ice armor, blessing of courage, and aurora blessing over.
In an instant, He Li's attack power, armor, recovery ability, and mobility increased dramatically!
She was completely stunned.
A pair of furry ears kept trembling.
Then he said in a daze, "So that's where the powerful aura of those soldiers came from."
"Is this the magical power of this territory?"
Elisa beside him said proudly: "No, this is a power that belongs only to the Lord."
"Isn't it awesome?"
Heli Feiying nodded continuously and said, "That's amazing!"
"To have such a powerful blessing is simply comparable to the power of gods!"
[Because you helped her improve her strength, the loyalty of territory member Heli Scarlet Shadow has been increased. Current loyalty: 78]
...
The girl with animal ears knelt on one knee at this moment.
"Thank you for your blessing, Lord."
"Heli will serve you well from now on. You can ask me to do anything!"
Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Get up, go to the team and wait."
"Everyone else, get ready!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two hundred or so people on the field straightened up.
Cao Xing said directly: "Then, Bojie, Labu, you lead your dragon blood fighters and other warriors to follow the team, and head to the vicinity of Duolun Lake City."
"Remember not to get close right away. I'll give you a meeting place. Remember to wait for my news."
"Mr. Taillon, you should also move forward with them."
The old wizard Tyrone is old and doesn't move very fast.
Hearing this, Commander Bertjie and Boar Warrior Lab respectfully said at the same time: "Yes, Lord!"
Then Cao Xing said: "Then everyone else, follow me now!"
"Head to Duolun Lake City at full speed!"
"Moo-"
Dabai swung his trunk, spread out his four hooves and ran all the way, seeming to be happy to be able to go out.
Next to it is Volibear, who has transformed into a leader, and Xiaolan, who is at the fifth-level leader level.
Including Tong Chuchu, who sat in the cockpit of the mecha, turned on the low-altitude flight mode and followed behind the team.
It is worth mentioning that last night Cao Xing used the skill [Demon Slave·Disguiser] against the [Earth Dragon Mecha].
I was surprised to find that this camouflage can also be used on mechas.
Now, this mecha has turned into a completely black mecha, emitting a faint black mist.
It looks very ferocious and full of deterrence.
However, under normal circumstances, Cao Xing is still not planning to send the mecha out. After all, the characteristics of this thing are too obvious.
...
Everyone was speeding along the way!
Hurry up and get on the road.
It can be said that this will be the farthest place they have ever been.
However, it is that place that contains a large amount of resources.
In fact, as long as the action is successful, Cao Xing will gain amazing benefits in one fell swoop!
After running for a hundred kilometers.
Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear and said, "Sarah, He Li, go ahead and explore the way."
"If you see humans on the road, please notify us in advance."
This time, he planned to avoid the crowd as much as possible.
Then, after arriving near Duolun Lake City, they collectively used camouflage techniques to minimize the risk of exposure.
After hearing this, the two assassins disappeared instantly.
This is the first task issued by Cao Xing, and He Li also wants to perform well.
She picked up the dagger and rushed forward.
Everyone followed behind.
"Boom! Boom!"
The huge mammoth ran with an astonishing momentum.
In addition, there is an equally huge frost moose next to it.
From a distance, the wild beasts roaming on the snowfield didn't dare to get close.
Sarah and He Li are leading the way ahead.
They also continue to send back information.
Then, based on the information from the two women, Cao Xing kept changing his route.
Soon, the morning passed.
They have advanced nearly 600 kilometers!
Cao Xing also took the time to look at the chat channel.
Many survivors have seen the king’s mighty army in Lake Duolun City and took pictures of it.
A rough estimate is that there are nearly 50,000 people.
The survivors naturally noticed the difference between this army and the last one.
This army is fully armed and looks like it can crush any obstacle.
Even the terrifying army of White Walkers cannot stop it!
For a moment, many people were excited.
At this time, Cao Xing had a trace of worry on his face, and thought to himself: "The king's army has arrived at Duolun Lake City. I don't know when they will launch an attack."
"If we launch an attack right away, we'll be in trouble."
Cao Xing's original intention was to take advantage of the truce between the two sides, use disguise to enter the city, and plunder some money.
If the war breaks out right away, it will be too late.
Of course, even after the war breaks out, Cao Xing still has a chance.
The battle of tens of thousands of people was not as powerful as the one Cao Xing and his men used against a few hundred people.
It is normal for a war to last one or two days, or even a week.
Plus, this was a siege.
During such a chaotic time, no one would pay attention to the city, so he could sneak in safely and plunder!
And just then, Sarah's voice appeared.
"There's something going on ahead. I saw a herd of migrating woolly mammoths."
Cao Xing was stunned, then asked in confusion: "A group of mammoths?"
According to the indigenous people of this world, the woolly mammoth is a sacred creature that rarely appears.
It is rare even in the entire Snowstorm Plain.
So there weren't many mammoth herds.
He looked at the mount beneath his feet.
"Dabai, could your parents be among those mammoths?"
