Chapter 285: Army Arrival, Honor Shop Unlocked! (6200)

Chapter 285: Army Arrival, Honor Shop Unlocked! (6200)

After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing decided to equip this hat on Renice.

After all, this gadget was indeed more suitable for a Hunter.

After finishing these.

Cao Xing clapped his hands.

Then he said, "Juliette, Nive."

"Please continue planting this batch of sunflower seeds, and use 3 green Life Tree Cores on every single seed."

"Additionally, there are Ice Thorn Twirlflower seeds and Twilight Vine seeds that also need to be planted."

"Especially for the Twilight Vine, you can use blue-grade Life Tree Cores and purple-grade Life Tree Cores together to accelerate it and ensure it grows out as soon as possible."

The two women noted down Cao Xing's instructions one by one.

Then they slightly curtsied, "Alright, Lord, we will do a good job with the things you instructed."

Cao Xing also nodded, and then left this place.

Next, he didn't really have anything to do.

After all, it was Construction Week now, and there was no need to deal with Ice Nest Monsters.

Pondering for a moment, Cao Xing decided to first distribute the few pieces of equipment in his hands.

He first found Ilena in the room and handed the [Siren Song Trident (Gold)] to her.

This beautiful snake-people woman held this brand-new weapon in her arms, overjoyed.

"Thank you, Lord. This weapon is very pretty, and I like it very much~"

Cao Xing smiled and nodded, "As long as you like it."

"If you encounter this kind of problem again in the future, just remember to come find me."

Hearing this, a strange look flashed through Ilena's slender snake eyes.

"Lord, I do indeed have a problem that I need you to solve…"

"What is it?"

Before Cao Xing could react, a snake tail covered in white scales wrapped around him once again.

Ilena's upper body suddenly appeared behind Cao Xing, and then whispering against his ear, she said, "Lord, of course it's the problem of me missing you."

"Recently, I learned many new tricks from Sister Elena again~"

Cao Xing wasn't particularly surprised either.

He chuckled and asked, "Oh? What new tricks?"

Last time, his experience with Ilena left a deep impression on him.

The body of a snake-people priest was simply too special…

Ilena stuck out her tongue, a bewitching smile on the corners of her mouth.

Then, she slid down directly from Cao Xing's shoulders and directly began her performance.

Instantly, a cool spring assaulted him.

"Hiss…"

Cao Xing couldn't help but gasp in cold air once again.

"Slurp… Slurp…"

The sounds of Ilena's performance kept ringing out.

Moreover, her snake body continued to coil around Cao Xing, as if she wanted to wrap him up completely.

However, Cao Xing didn't feel that sense of restriction.

He directly pressed one hand against her beautiful hair.

Causing Ilena's whole body to tremble, and she collapsed limply onto the ground.

She said plaintively, "Lord, let me do it~"

"Being grabbed by you, I can't even exert any strength."

Cao Xing laughed, "Alright."

The two quickly came to the bed.

A moment later, paths wound into quiet seclusion, and fragrant scents intertwined.

The graceful figure made it impossible to look away.

During this period, she was also constantly switching forms.

For a while maintaining her humanized body, and for a while maintaining her bewitching snake body.

Which also left Cao Xing full of sighs.

One body, two experiences…

Until an hour later, Ilena limply collapsed.

Cao Xing hugged this beauty with somewhat cool skin, lingering warmly in the blankets for a while.

Then he tucked her in with the quilt.

As for himself, he put on his clothes and continued strolling around the territory.

Today, he didn't really have anything to do.

Anyway, outside Yaskin had entered the city for early development.

Elisa was tracking that group of yaks.

As for that ancient battlefield, Blot had already gone over to investigate.

Moreover, there were no Ice Nest Monsters descending right now.

Coupled with the fact that it was Construction Week, the building speed and resource gathering speed had both been accelerated.

Therefore, ever since entering this world, Cao Xing had a rare day off.

He first returned to the [Alchemy Workshop] to observe that beautiful witch brew medicine for a while.

Francesca seemed somewhat unnatural in her medicine-brewing movements because someone was beside her.

With her Master-level medicine-brewing technique, she actually failed once.

This beautiful witch stood in place, seeming somewhat dejected.

And after Cao Xing comforted her for a bit, he also quickly left this place.

Then he went to the Tailor Shop again and flirted with those two beautiful matrons.

Xia Yanni and Elena were overjoyed because of Cao Xing's arrival.

But very soon, these two mature women jointly launched an offensive against Cao Xing.

The sound of the machines rotating in the Tailor Shop stopped.

And the mature, charming soft laughter of the two women resounded.

And began using those plump bodies to gently serve their lord.

Cao Xing was immersed in the exquisite tactile sensation of flesh.

After satisfying these two mature women, Cao Xing also casually gave that new ancient weapon, the Hunter's tricorn hat, to Renice.

He went to find his own strong and capable Phantom Assassin to communicate for a while.

After feeling Cao Xing's caress after a long time, Sarah's eyes were filled with love.

Even during training, she was even more efficient.

A moment later, it seemed as if inspiration struck.

A system prompt appeared in front of Cao Xing.

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance has intently studied the Assassin's Manual and has mastered a new skill: Assassination Code]

[Assassination Code: When an attack hits an enemy, it adds a layer of Assassination Mark. The damage dealt by the next attack is increased by 10%, stacking up to 4 layers.]

…

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed in amusement, "As expected, it is still necessary to properly care for subordinates."

"Not bad, not bad, the second skill on that manual has also been learned by Sarah."

"In this way, her already formidable attack power will be elevated to another level."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing continued wandering around the territory.

It can be said that even if he didn't go out, a day's time was extremely fulfilling.

After all.

A lord's life was just this unpretentious…

Time quickly arrived at night.

The staff members who went out also returned one after another.

The aroma of food wafted from the cafeteria.

Hundreds of personnel finished dining in turns.

And right at this moment, a 'zizi' current sound came to Cao Xing's ear.

Then, a deep male voice rang out.

"Lord, I am Blot."

Cao Xing replied, "Blot, how is the investigation on your end?"

Blot replied, "Lord, this ancient battlefield is somewhat unexpectedly large. I am exploring deeper into it, so I won't be coming back tonight."

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, then be careful. Remember to contact me if there are any accidents."

"As you command, Lord."

Not long after hanging up Blot's communication.

Another communication dialed in.

A crisp female voice sounded.

"Lord, I am Elisa. Do you miss me or not!"

Her tone carried an undisguisable excitement.

And Cao Xing smiled and replied, "I miss you, I miss you."

"Speak, what happy thing is there?"

Hearing this, Elisa immediately replied with joy, "Lord, I have already tracked that group of Cloud Yaks!"

"They are currently resting in a valley, and there are lots of them, a total of 59, and there are even a few calves among them!"

"Elisa is amazing, right!"

Hearing this, a trace of a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face once again.

"Not bad, Elisa is awesome!"

He didn't stint on his praise at all.

After all, according to what she said, this time there were as many as 59 Cloud Yaks!

If they could all be caught, this would be an astonishing fortune!

The subsequent benefits brought to Cao Xing would simply be unimaginable!

And as the one who found the yaks, Elisa was the number one contributor.

Cao Xing was extremely fond of such a pretty and capable subordinate.

The silly laughter of the little girl came from the other side.

Cao Xing continued to ask, "Elisa, where is your current location?"

"Lord, I am deep in the Tigeren Mountains, are you coming over?"

Hearing this unfamiliar place name, Cao Xing opened the map and glanced at it.

He found that it was nearly four hundred kilometers away from him.

And most crucially, Cao Xing found that the place where the Tigeren Mountains were located seemed to be situated at the edge of the [Gale Snowfield] map.

Crossing the mountains seemed to be able to reach a new region.

Cao Xing thought secretly, "This little girl really knows how to run around, being able to find such a distant place."

However, this also side-reflected her capability.

He replied, "Elisa, I will bring people over early tomorrow morning. Remember to be careful by yourself in the mountains."

Hearing this, Elisa happily said, "Thank you for the Lord's concern, but don't forget the things you promised me!"

"Also, remember to bring some tools for catching chickens over. There are many Light Feather Chickens here, and our territory will have eggs to eat later!"

Cao Xing also smiled and replied, "Understood."

After speaking, he hung up the call.

At the same time, his mood became even better.

"Not bad, not bad. Since there isn't much to do tomorrow anyway, I can take people out to catch yaks and grab some chickens back by the way."

Cao Xing thought happily.

Then, he slipped back into the [Lords Manor].

Hugging Liu Muxue, they entered dreamland together.

…

…

Not long after they fell asleep.

At the border of the [Gale Snowfield], a group of figures composed of tens of thousands of people was marching mightily.

Led by a knighthood composed of over a thousand kingdom knights, followed behind by more than twenty thousand kingdom soldiers.

At the center of the army were large-scale war tools one after another.

[Grond Battering Ram], [Destroyer Ballista], [Troll Catapult], and so on…

Among them, there was even a tool like the [Neros Cannon] which claimed to be able to deal with giant dragons.

From this, it could be seen how much the [Ice Crystal King] attached importance to this siege battle.

They pushed these massive war tools, advancing at a steady speed.

At this time, a knight riding a black lion and clad in black battle armor quickly arrived at the center of the formation.

"Clack clack clack!"

Urgent hoofbeats rang out.

Then stopping in front of a massive legion chariot, he reported, "General, according to the current marching speed of the troops, we will officially arrive at the [Gale Snowfield] in the morning, and we can approach the vicinity of [Lake Doron City] by noon."

The legion chariot did not stop, still advancing slowly and at a steady speed.

A moment later, a faint voice came from inside.

"I know. Proceed according to the original plan. Tomorrow afternoon, we will officially launch an attack on [Lake Doron City]."

"This time, it is the first time since the establishment of the [Ice Crystal Kingdom] that a Giant City has been captured, and His Majesty the King is very angry about this matter."

"Therefore, we must use thunderous momentum to forcefully capture [Lake Doron City], sparing not a single cultist."

"Let these guys know how insignificant they are in front of the King!"

Hearing this, the knight outside riding the black lion replied, "Understood, General!"

Speaking up to here, "However, please forgive my outspokenness, this time that group of cultists suddenly making trouble must have prepared for a long time."

"According to intelligence from the front line, they have even built various fortifications near Lake Doron City and gathered a large number of heretics. It seems they are preparing for a head-on clash with us."

"I think, shouldn't we be a bit more careful?"

Hearing this, the general inside didn't blame him, but instead fell silent.

The other party seemed to be pondering something.

After a moment, the other party said, "Captain Kain, you are right; we indeed need to be careful."

"How about this? Tomorrow we won't rush into a full-scale attack. Let's focus on probing first, find out what gives this bunch of cultists their confidence, and then come up with a corresponding countermeasure."

Hearing this, a look of relief appeared in the eyes of the knight outside, "Brilliant strategy, General!"

In such large-scale wars, the commander-in-chief holds absolute authority.

It can be said that any decision they make could dictate the direction of the war.

Therefore, a commander who listens to the opinions of subordinates is more welcomed by others.

Of course, as a commander, one cannot listen to everything, nor can one ignore everything.

Therefore, this requires his own judgment.

At this moment, the general inside continued to add, "Right, pass down the order."

"Call upon the mercenaries and Hunters near the Gale Snowfield, and tell them that the King's army is about to arrive. Joining us in the crusade against this group of cultists will earn generous Honor Point rewards."

"In the upcoming war, different Honor Points can be obtained based on the strength of the slain cultists."

"Killing a Tier 1 ordinary cultist grants an additional 1 Honor Point, Tier 2 grants 2, and Tier 3 grants 3."

"Tier 1 elite cultist 3 points, Tier 2 elite 6, Tier 3 elite 9…"

"Black-robed priest 30 points, Tier 2 60, Tier 3 90…"

"White-robed priest 100 points, Tier 2 200, Tier 3 300…"

"And so on."

"Furthermore, the Honor Points they earn can be directly exchanged with me for rewards."

"10 Honor Points can be exchanged for 1 Locano Warhorse, 1,000 Honor Points for a Destroyer Siege Crossbow, 10,000 Honor Points for 1 Neros Cannon…"

Hearing the series of rewards stated by the general, the knight captain outside tightened his expression.

He also understood the other party's intention.

This was to use generous rewards to attract a portion of the mercenaries and Hunters in the Gale Snowfield, making them act as cannon fodder first.

In this way, it could reduce the casualty losses of the soldiers.

It could also reduce destabilizing factors within the kingdom.

The general said once again, "Right, besides those mercenaries and Hunters, this bounty is also effective for those Otherworld Lords."

"Although they are weak, they can also be utilized."

The knight captain outside saluted again and said, "As you command!"

With that said, he rode his lion and quickly left the center of the army.

The massive Kingdom Knight Order, still carrying the momentum to crush everything, advanced through the snowfield…

…

…

The next day, a system prompt appeared.

[Attention Survivors, you have passed the first day of Construction Week. Remaining time: 6 days]

[Special Intelligence: The army of the Ice Crystal Kingdom has officially arrived at the Gale Snowfield. Survivor lords near the Gale Snowfield are now called upon to participate in the upcoming siege battle. Killing members of the Church of Light will grant more rewards]

[Killing an ordinary church member grants 1 Honor Point, killing 1 elite church member grants 3 Honor Points, killing… and so on…]

[Honor Store has been opened. Click on the store to view redeemable items]

(Note: The Honor Store can be viewed remotely. To redeem items, you still need to go to the army's location or Eternal Frost Main City.)

[Weather Forecast: Sunny today, maximum temperature -48°C, suitable for going out and building territory…]

…

In the chat channel of District 17, cheers suddenly resounded.

Rohan: "Holy shit! The Kingdom Knight Order arrived so fast, their efficiency is really high!"

Dong Hongjun: "That's for sure! This time those cultists actually dared to provoke the majesty of the kingdom; they've really kicked a steel plate!"

Jian Kewen: "Haha, the Lake Doron City siege battle, this seems to be a major event!"

Zha Ziyan: "Yeah, for such major events, generally speaking, as long as you participate, you can get massive benefits. Moreover, only people from District 17 can participate. Who knows how many people in the world channel are envious of us!"

What this person said was correct.

Because this siege battle took place in the Gale Snowfield region.

Before the second region merger, Survivors from other districts simply could not come over.

And as a major event that only District 17 Survivors could participate in, it naturally received widespread attention from the world channel, while also making them extremely envious.

Up until now, other districts haven't even had such a major event that all members could participate in.

It can be said that the Lake Doron Siege Battle in District 17 this time is the first, and also an event worthy of being recorded in history.

"Brothers, the Honor Store is open, let's see what can be redeemed."

Everyone clicked open the Honor Store one after another, and then began to check the redeemable items.

[Honor Store Redemption List]

[crowns * 5000]: 1 Honor Point

[Advanced Life Secret Potion]: 3 Honor Points

[Tier 3 Locano Warhorse]: 10 Honor Points

[Tier 3 Elite Locano Warhorse]: 30 Honor Points

[Honor Greatsword, Axe, Staff, Dagger… (Purple)]: 50 Honor Points

[Goshawk Legion Knight Heavy Armor Set (Purple)]: Single piece 50 Honor Points, full set 300 Honor Points

[Shining Ice Crystal Battleblade, Axe, Staff, Sword… (Gold)]: 500 Honor Points (1,000 pieces redeemable server-wide)

[Destroyer Siege Crossbow (Gold)]: 1,000 Honor Points (50 units redeemable server-wide)

[Tier 3 Heavy Knight Training Barracks Blueprint]: 2,000 Honor Points (30 sheets redeemable server-wide)

[Troll Catapult (Gold)]: 2,000 Honor Points (20 units redeemable server-wide)

[Neros Cannon (Orange)]: 10,000 Honor Points (5 units redeemable server-wide)

[death gods dagger—Tadeusz (Legendary)]: 100,000 Honor Points (1 piece redeemable server-wide, must go to Eternal Frost Main City to claim)

When seeing those astonishing rewards in the Honor Store, everyone fell silent.

Then, terrifying cheers appeared in the chat channel.

"Holy shit! Orange artillery, legendary weapons, and all kinds of golden equipment, these rewards are way too fierce!"

"Indeed, as expected of the Ice Crystal Kingdom, making such a massive move right off the bat. A Tier 3 warhorse only costs 10 Honor Points, and an elite warhorse is only 30 points. This is too awesome!"

"Haha, I already have 17 masks, which can be exchanged for 17 Honor Points. Save up a bit more and I can trade for an elite warhorse!"

"I've got my eyes on that Destroyer Siege Crossbow. A big guy of golden quality must be super fierce!"

"Brothers, if you want to quickly earn Honor Points, you can only go to the battlefield. I'm charging in first!"

"That's right, if we don't go to the battlefield, just relying on collecting masks won't even get us an elite warhorse. I'm charging in too!"

"Damn it, take a gamble and a bicycle turns into a motorcycle. Charge!"

…

A large number of District 17 Survivors, the moment they heard the system announcement, set off immediately, preparing to head towards Lake Doron City.

After all, the rewards in the Honor Store were too generous. Just 300 Honor Points could redeem a complete set of purple equipment, coupled with the temptation of various powerful props!

Ordinary people simply couldn't resist it!

For the Survivors of District 17, this was a rare opportunity.

After all, only they could rush to the battlefield.

As for people from other districts, even if they killed those Church of Light members in the wild, there were no Honor Point rewards.

They could only use masks to exchange.

But Survivors who joined the battlefield were different; not only could they collect masks, but killing enemies also gave Honor Points.

It could be said to be one portion of effort with two portions of harvest!

As for danger, following the King's army on the move, what danger could there be?

For a time, the discussions in the chat channel became even more intense.

In the Lords Cabin.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue similarly looked at the system announcement thoughtfully.

"We won't participate in this major event, right?"

Liu Muxue asked softly.

Having followed Cao Xing for so long, she also had a certain ability to analyze the situation.

Although participating might yield huge benefits.

But Liu Muxue also knew that the greater the benefits one wanted to gain, the greater the risks one had to bear.

After all, that was a Giant City-level war, easily involving tens of thousands of people, and hiding a large number of powerful experts among them.

Even with Cao Xing's formidable strength, he wouldn't dare say he could remain safe and sound on such a massive battlefield.

Moreover, Cao Xing still had many things that were inconvenient to expose.

This time, there would definitely be many Survivors participating, making the situation even more chaotic.

Therefore, they hadn't even thought about wading into this muddy water.

Cao Xing smiled and nodded, "Mm, we won't participate."

"Compared to fighting wars, it's better for us to peaceably develop our own territory."

"Furthermore, even if we don't go to the battlefield to kill enemies, we can still quickly obtain Honor Points."

After all, in Cao Xing's territory, there were three money printers.

Throwing the resources they produced into the trading market could definitely exchange for a large number of Hunter masks.

Therefore, he didn't worry at all that he wouldn't be able to redeem rewards.

The only troublesome part was that if he wanted to claim the rewards, he needed to make a trip to the battlefield or Eternal Frost Main City.

Of course, these were matters for later.

A serene smile also appeared on Liu Muxue's face.

"Time to wake up, Muxue. Elisa has already found the Cloud Yak, today we're going to catch cows!"

Liu Muxue exclaimed upon hearing this, "Wow! Elisa has already found the yak? She's so amazing!"

She also knew how astonishing the value of the Cloud Yak was.

In front of the yak, whatever Church of Light, whatever bounty announcement, could all be put on the back burner.

Carrying a joyful expression.

The two got up from bed together and then finished washing up.

After arriving outside the territory.

Hundreds of staff members were waiting in place.

Cao Xing arranged today's work for them as usual.

Everyone began working according to the lords instructions.

Including Da Zhuang and the others, who had already familiarized themselves with the controls of the [Transport Vehicle], and then led more than a hundred goblins towards the mine outside the territory.

…
