A giant warrior, pure violence. (5000)
Cao Xing even wanted to use the Blessing Aura immediately to let this Dragon Shaman apply the blessing BUFF to everyone on the field.
However, before that, let's take a look at the Commander-level creature next to him.
[Jord Ironfrost]
[Race: Giant Clan]
[Level: 39 (Tier 4 Commander-level creature)]
[HP: 519,629 / 519,629 (Pale Tree bonus)]
[Attack: 7765 ~ 7832]
[Armor: 1548 ~ 1665]
[Attributes: Strength 1778, Agility 1354, Spirit 1264, Constitution 1672]
[Skills: Giant Clan Combat Mastery (Long-term close-quarters combat allows him to proficiently use skills like 'Giant Power Fist', 'Giant Flying Kick', and 'Giant Elbow Strike'…)]
[Giant Clan Super Armor (After activation, increases self-stiffness +100%, armor +30%, and all skills will not be interrupted. Duration: 60 seconds, Cooldown: 120 seconds)]
[Vortex Heavy Fist (Condenses powerful vortex energy to pull enemies within 10 meters in front of him, then deals a fatal blow. Damage coefficient is Attack * 337%, with a 50% critical hit chance. Cooldown: 80 seconds)]
[Shattering Fist (Charges for 1~3 seconds to deal massive damage to enemies in front. Damage coefficient is 350%, increasing by 100% for every second charged, up to a maximum of 600%. Cooldown: 120 seconds)]
[Commander-level Skill: Ironfrost Phantom (Summons two Ironfrost Phantoms. Every time he punches, the phantoms assist in the punch, dealing 2 * 27% damage. Phantoms last 90 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes)]
[Talent: Giant Bloodline (Armor +30%, HP +30%)]
[Satiety: 51]
[Loyalty: 65]
(Note: An extremely powerful Giant Clan creature. While possessing formidable combat power, it also has an even larger appetite.)
"My goodness… This is a total maniac of violence!"
"Once this Super Armor form + Ironfrost Phantom form is activated, combined with the Eternal Power bonus, wouldn't he just become a killing machine?"
"And with so many skills and talents that increase armor, plus the Frost Magic Shield and Ice Armor Technique, he really is unstoppable!"
Cao Xing looked at this big guy who was nearly six meters tall with admiration in his eyes.
"Truly worthy of the Giant Clan!"
Meanwhile, Jord Ironfrost seemed to notice Cao Xing's gaze.
The Giant Clan member suddenly spoke: "Um… Lord, Jord has a small request."
A deep voice resonated overhead.
Cao Xing looked up and asked: "Hmm? What is it?"
The giant said embarrassedly: "Jord is a bit hungry. Could you please give me something to eat?"
Cao Xing was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Of course, no problem."
He had just noticed that the Giant Clan member's satiety was a bit low.
Cao Xing was now a wealthy lord; letting his subordinates eat their fill was no problem at all.
After speaking, he waved his hand and took dozens of portions of roasted horse meat from his backpack.
The fragrant roasted horse meat emitted the aroma of meat and honey, making one's mouth water.
Jord Ironfrost's mouth was practically drooling at the sight.
"Eat, Jord."
The Giant Clan member heard this, quickly took it, and then ate it like a snack, swallowing it whole without even chewing.
[Your territory member: Jord Ironfrost consumed roasted horse meat, Satiety +1]
[Your…]
As he ate, the system notifications for increasing satiety rang out continuously.
When all these dozens of portions of horse meat were finished.
To Cao Xing's surprise, the other party had only increased their satiety by seven or eight points.
"Um… Lord, is there any more?"
The giant sat on the cold floor, looking at Cao Xing with an unsatisfied expression.
Cao Xing's mouth twitched.
Just now, he had taken out thirty or forty kilograms of horse meat, but this giant had only increased his satiety by a few points.
Doesn't this mean he has to eat hundreds of kilograms of food every day?
Braum next to him couldn't help but ask: "Big guy, how come you can eat even more than me?"
Jord Ironfrost was a bit embarrassed, then said honestly: "Ve… very sorry…"
"I usually eat quite a lot."
"But I don't need meat. I'm not picky; anything edible is fine."
"Of course, if food in the territory is tight, never mind…"
"I can actually endure hunger quite well…"
But Cao Xing, upon hearing this, immediately said.
"Eat, eat for me!"
"Liu Zhuang, go to the cafeteria and bring me a few hundred kilograms of food."
As a great lord, how could he let his subordinates go hungry?
If word got out, it would be a laughingstock!
"Alright!"
The Arctic People nearby responded quickly and immediately entered the cafeteria.
Soon, four Arctic People were quickly carrying a large amount of bread, milk, and some fish and rabbit meat.
They placed it all in front of Cao Xing.
Jord Ironfrost looked at the pile of food on the ground, and his eyes lit up immediately!
However, he didn't pounce on it immediately,
Instead, he asked tentatively.
"Is this… all for me?"
Cao Xing nodded and said: "Of course."
The giant's eyes showed a look of being moved.
"Thank you so much!"
"You are truly a generous lord."
[Due to your generous gift, territory member: Jord Ironfrost's loyalty has increased, current loyalty: 72]
Cao Xing waved his hand, letting him eat to his heart's content.
And Jord Ironfrost didn't stand on ceremony and immediately dove in, devouring the food.
"Gulp… Gulp…"
Pieces of beast meat were swallowed, and his satiety continued to rise.
In the blink of an eye, at least three hundred kilograms of food on the ground had been eaten by him alone.
And his satiety had risen directly to over 90.
When this big guy was full, he patted his stomach contentedly and sighed.
"It's been many years since I've been this full."
"Today must be Jord's lucky day!"
Cao Xing smiled.
He suddenly understood why the Giant Clan recruitment scrolls were so rare.
This kind of creature could eat even more than beasts like Dabai or the Frost Moose.
Ordinary Survivor lords simply couldn't afford to raise one.
It was fortunate that Cao Xing was wealthy, otherwise he would have been eaten into poverty by this giant.
After settling the two newcomers.
Cao Xing took out the Goddess Naisa's Blessing Aura again.
He had everyone stand together.
Including the newly joined Dragon Shaman and this big guy Jord, they all stood together obediently.
Then, Cao Xing ordered.
"Weinmne, try using 'Thunder Dragon Possession' on me."
"As you wish, respected Lord."
The elderly Dragon Shaman nodded respectfully, then raised the dragon-headed staff in his hand.
"Zzz… Zzz…"
The sound of intense electric current rang out.
Cao Xing even saw a phantom of a thunder dragon condensing behind the Dragon Shaman.
As he waved his staff.
That thunder dragon suddenly opened its eyes!
"Roar!"
Following a loud dragon roar, that giant dragon fiercely dove into everyone's bodies!
In an instant, the mental power of the two thousand people on the field surged significantly.
[You have received the blessing effect of [Thunder Dragon Possession]. Influenced by the talent [Eternal Power], this skill has become a permanent state…]
At this moment, everyone felt a powerful force remaining in their bodies.
Even the Dragon Shaman was incredibly surprised.
"Incredible… How could my Thunder Dragon Possession affect everyone?"
Blot Brimstone, who was also a Shaman, said: "This Shaman, this is because of our lord's ability."
A look of shock appeared on the Dragon Shaman's face.
Cao Xing smiled, and everyone had already gotten used to it.
No matter how powerful an existence it was, after joining this territory, they would all marvel at the perverted and powerful nature of Cao Xing's [Eternal Power]!
After receiving the Thunder Dragon Possession bonus, Cao Xing had everyone refresh their status again.
For a time, everyone's recovery data and attack power were significantly improved.
Of course, the ones who benefited the most were this Dragon Shaman and the Giant Clan fighter.
"Doubled" was an understatement!
The loyalty of the two of them also increased significantly, all reaching over 70.
Jord Ironfrost's loyalty went directly to 83.
The Dragon Shaman sighed: "Respected Lord, your power is truly unimaginable."
"Not only can you apply my Thunder Dragon Possession to everyone, but you can even make it exist permanently!"
"In that case, the more powerful the blessing skill, the greater the effect it can unleash under your miraculous power!"
"If I can evolve to the Commander level one day in the future, perhaps I could awaken the 'Thunder Dragon Descent', an extremely powerful blessing skill."
"Combined with your ability, I'm afraid it would create a terrifying army of dragon mages!"
Hearing this, Cao Xing immediately became interested.
"Oh? And what is 'Thunder Dragon Descent'?"
Weinmne explained, "This is a powerful blessing skill that only we Dragon Shamans have a chance to possess. 'Thunder Dragon Descent' can significantly increase the combat power of all of us, especially for those of us in magical professions."
"Not only will it significantly reduce our spell casting interval, but there is also a chance to summon the power of a Thunder Dragon to assist us in attacking."
Cao Xing's eyes lit up. Is it actually a Commander-level status skill?
And listening to the Dragon Shaman's description, it seems really strong!
If possible, Cao Xing really wanted to promote him to Commander immediately.
After all, a status skill like this enhances the overall strength of the entire territory.
Of course, the prerequisite is having a soul.
Commander-level souls are just too hard to come by, and a whole bunch of people in his territory are waiting to evolve to Commander.
At this moment, Cao Xing remembered the Church of Light again.
"Damn it, there must be many Commanders inside the Church of Light."
"Once I find your lair, I'll wipe you all out in one go!"
The Giant Clan member beside him also said honestly, "Lord, the priests of our Giant Clan also have extremely powerful blessing abilities."
"If he knew that your territory possessed such miraculous power, he would definitely be very willing to join."
Cao Xing nodded, "I understand."
"I will find ways to help you continue to improve your strength later."
However, these matters could only be dealt with later.
Now that everyone's strength had improved, it was time to let them go outside to fight and level up.
Thus, he put the Blessing Aura back into his backpack.
"Now, I will begin announcing today's tasks."
Everyone immediately straightened up, and their expressions became serious.
"Today, Commander Bo Jie will lead all the Dragon Blood Warriors, as well as the Ascalon Legion, to find the enhanced Ice Nests outside and deal with the monsters inside."
"Dragon Shaman Weinmne, and also Jode Frostiron, you two will also follow Commander Bo Jie."
These two newcomers had just been summoned, and their levels were still a bit low.
It just so happened that Cao Xing still had a few [Expert-level Heart of Strength] in his hand, as well as the final 3 [Master-level Heart of Power].
That should be enough to break their tiers through to Master directly.
Upon hearing this, the two looked towards that slender figure.
There was no hint of contempt in their eyes.
Because the aura emanating from Commander Bo Jie was like a ferocious beast to them!
Cao Xing continued, "All Star Country swordsmen, earth mages, wind mages, and Tribal Witch Doctors will form the second wave, and all of you will follow Xiao to deal with the Ice Nests outside."
"In addition, the Silver Hand Knights and the Centaur Legion, as well as other core combat personnel, will come with me to a nearby mountain."
"Everyone else, continue to guard the territory."
Soon, he finished issuing today's combat tasks.
Upon hearing this, all the combat personnel on the field responded loudly.
"Understood! Great Lord!"
Then, they followed Cao Xing's instructions and dispersed.
Commander Bo Jie led over a thousand people and left the territory in a grand procession.
The swordsman Xiao also led over three hundred people and walked towards the other side of the territory.
Soon, it became somewhat empty here.
Just when Cao Xing was preparing to take people to catch griffins.
A cold figure came to his side.
The aura on her body was like a blade forged from millennial ice, and her indifferent face spelled out 'keep away'.
It was the Dragon Speaker.
She stood before Cao Xing, her red lips parted slightly, appearing as if she had something to say but hesitated.
A moment later, the woman took a deep breath, as if she had prepared herself mentally.
"As we agreed, I…"
"I am leaving…"
Cao Xing looked up and gave her a deep look.
Facing his gaze, the Dragon Speaker didn't dare to meet his eyes, and a trace of guilt appeared on her face.
After a month of getting along, this woman no longer had her previous arrogance.
Cao Xing also knew that this day would come.
So he nodded and said, "Go."
Bing Lan took another deep breath, placed her right hand on her left shoulder, and bowed slightly, saying, "You are an amazing Lord."
"In the future, even if I am not in the Ice Crystal Kingdom, I will surely hear your name."
"Thank you again for saving me and giving me such powerful strength."
"I…"
Before the Dragon Speaker could finish, she was directly interrupted by Cao Xing, "Why be so sentimental?"
"Aren't you just preparing to go find that dragon of yours?"
"What's wrong? After finding Seraphis, are you not planning to come back, or are you not going to acknowledge me as your Lord anymore?"
Hearing this, the Dragon Speaker was stunned.
Then, with an uncertain look in her eyes, she asked, "Are you really… willing to accept me again?"
Cao Xing's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but he was already laughing internally.
What a joke.
Who wouldn't like a buy-one-get-one-free deal?
However, he still said calmly, "Of course, as long as you want to come back, this place will always be your home and your safe haven."
Upon hearing this, a chord seemed to be struck within the Dragon Speaker's cold heart.
A flash of struggle and reluctance crossed her eyes.
A moment later, she made her decision.
She said solemnly, "Okay, after I find Seraphis, I will bring it back… back home."
A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth again.
Then, he waved his hand.
"Screech—"
A griffin soared into the sky and quickly flew to the two of them.
Cao Xing said, "You don't have a dragon now, nor do you have a means of transport, so take this griffin for now."
"If you encounter danger, don't try to force your way through it. Remember to use your spatial movement to escape back here."
"You should know that the power my territory currently possesses can easily deal with two or three heroes like you."
"Coming back to find your 'parents' when you can't beat someone outside isn't something to be ashamed of, do you understand?"
Hearing the last sentence, a smile also appeared on the Dragon Speaker's lips.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
"If I encounter enemies, I will run towards the direction of the territory."
After saying that, she jumped onto the griffin's back and slowly flew towards the sky.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
The griffin flapped its wings, carrying her higher and higher.
Below, Tong Chuchu and Elisa kept waving their small hands and shouted loudly.
"Goodbye, Big Sister Bing Lan!"
"You must come back, big sister who rides a dragon!"
Looking at the people waving goodbye below, the Dragon Speaker didn't look back even once.
Because she was afraid that if she waited a moment longer, she wouldn't be able to bear to leave.
Until her figure completely disappeared on the horizon and Cao Xing's territory could no longer be seen, she slowly turned her head and took a look behind her.
At the same time, she gripped the ice longsword in her hand tightly, and a look of determination gradually appeared on her face.
"With the power you bestowed upon me, and the reinforcement of the dragon heart on me."
"This time, I will not lose again!"
"Seraphis, wait for me!"
…
…
Everyone watched Bing Lan's departure until she was out of sight.
A moment later, Cao Xing patted Liu Muxue beside him and said, "Let's go, we are heading straight to the griffin nest now."
"Mm." The female knight beside him regained her senses and nodded softly.
However, before heading to the griffin nest, some preparations were still needed.
Because according to Harati, the griffin nest was on a cliff thousands of meters high, and there was a strange air current above that prevented them from getting close.
So, if they wanted to tame these griffins, the first problem to solve was finding a way to climb up to that high cliff!
Cao Xing himself had the 'Wind Wings' skill, so he could fly up quite easily.
But the others couldn't.
This time, he was prepared to sweep up the entire griffin nest in one go.
Relying on his own strength, although he could wipe out all the griffins inside, it would be unlikely to capture all of them and bring them back.
Therefore, Cao Xing had to take enough people to fly up with him.
This problem was easy to solve.
That was to use the Goblin Airships.
It just so happened that during this period, eight airships had already been produced in the territory.
Calculating based on the fact that each airship could carry two hundred people, this could carry a full 1600 people!
