Chapter 344: Battle Ended, Extra Rewards. (6200)

Chapter 344: Battle Ended, Extra Rewards. (6200)

The City Lord was not surprised that he knew about this civilization and nodded.

Cao Xing's pupils suddenly constricted.

To be honest, he was very curious about this ancient civilization.

Some of the ancient weapons on him looked like thermal weapons on Blue Star, but their technological level far exceeded that of Blue Star.

One could imagine that this civilization must have developed to a fairly prosperous extent on the continent once.

However, such a massive civilization perished silently, and no one even knew what happened.

This also made Cao Xing sigh that this massive continent had far too many secrets!

The City Lord continued: "Very, very few people know about this city, but those qualified to enter are all powerful existences."

"For so many years, they have also been secretly exploring this Lost Royal City."

"But after so long, not even one percent of the entire Lost Royal City's area has been explored."

"Yet just this one percent has yielded astonishing gains for these powerhouses!"

"This includes resources that allow people to quickly break through to Hero-level, magic potions that significantly enhance combat power, and some mechas with Master-level combat power."

"And the most important discovery is that ancient colosseum."

At this moment, Cao Xing's interest was completely piqued.

After all, just listening to the City Lord's description allowed one to imagine how massive the opportunities hidden in that city were.

If one could explore all of it, wouldn't they soar to the heavens?

He asked: "What is inside that colosseum, and why is it the most important place?"

The City Lord explained: "Just like the name says, any existence that enters the ancient colosseum must undergo a powerhouse trial."

"As long as one can complete the powerhouse trials, they will receive generous rewards. The more powerhouse trials completed, the higher the rewards."

"Back then, I completed the third trial and obtained a drop of mysterious blood, which directly allowed me to break through my life limit and become a Sovereign-level creature."

"Furthermore, this drop of blood also gave me a power far greater than other Sovereigns!"

"It is said that after completing the fourth trial, not only can one obtain even more generous rewards, but they will even receive the title of Champion Fighter."

Hearing 'Champion Fighter', Cao Xing narrowed his eyes.

Wasn't the old man fishing he encountered previously holding this title?

In other words, Qinong had once been to that Lost Royal City?

Judging by this, he was truly terrifying!

Even the City Lord could only complete the third trial, yet he actually passed the fourth trial.

In other words, Qinong's strength was at least Tier 7 or above.

Which meant a Hero-level existence?

Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt an even stronger curiosity towards that Lost Royal City and the ancient colosseum!

He continued to ask: "Are there higher-level trials?"

The City Lord pondered for a moment, then said with certainty: "Yes!"

"But up until now, no one has succeeded."

"No one is clear on what can be obtained by passing higher-level trials either."

Cao Xing nodded in sudden realization.

The City Lord's intel could be said to be priceless, and it was already completely sufficient to repay the life-saving grace of the previous two times.

The next moment, the City Lord continued: "I know that a piece of information simply cannot compare to the grace of you saving my life."

"I promise you, once I return this time to report back to the King—"

"If you encounter any problems in the future, as long as you come find me, I will do everything in my power to provide you with help without violating my principles!"

"Even if I die in battle!"

Hearing the last sentence, the corner of Cao Xing's mouth also curled into a smile.

Needless to say, although this guy's brain wasn't working too well, he was quite straightforward and upright as a person.

He didn't even mind Cao Xing's demon identity, simply treating him as a life-saver.

Cao Xing chuckled: "I have remembered your words. You are a very principled City Lord, and I admire your noble character."

"Then, I look forward to our next meeting, City Lord Oran."

The City Lord stood in place and solemnly nodded.

After speaking, Cao Xing led his people away from here.

As he watched that group of black figures completely leave,

The City Lord seemed to remember something and stared blankly at his own body.

"This… you guys are leaving, what about the chains on my body?"

…

…

Meanwhile.

Not long after the three archbishops were completely wiped out by Cao Xing,

the Church of Light quickly sensed it.

In a brilliant underground palace, the young man sitting upright on the huge throne suddenly changed expression drastically!

He quickly stood up and walked briskly to a huge statue.

It seemed he wanted to confirm something.

That statue was of a man with his arms crossed, stepping on bright flames underneath his feet.

Beside the statue floated over a hundred bright light spheres of varying sizes.

And when he saw

that three of the light spheres among them had lost their radiance, his expression became even as gloomy as water!

"Dammit! What is that guy Sullivan doing?"

"Didn't I tell him to attract the army's attention, why would this kind of thing still happen?"

"Dammit! Dammit!"

The young man cursed angrily.

In the magnificent underground palace, the other instructors wore blank expressions.

This was the first time they saw the Seed of Light in such an out-of-control state.

An elderly man, also dressed in yellow robes and looking to be in his fifties or sixties, stepped forward and asked: "Child of Light… what happened?"

"What makes you so irritable?"

The young man clenched his fists, his whole body trembling violently.

He took a deep breath and said word by word:

"Sains, Bella, Angren… have been completely wiped out!"

Hearing this, all the Church of Light members in this underground palace drastically changed expressions!

"What!?"

"How is this possible? They are all Master-level powerhouses!"

"Could it be that the Old King sent out some hero to kill them?"

Facing everyone's doubts, the Seed of Light could not answer.

Because he was also completely clueless.

The young man continuously took deep breaths, seemingly trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

Then, he extended his right index finger and pressed it against the center of his eyebrows.

Soft light emanated from his fingertips, allowing people to subconsciously calm down…

The surrounding instructors all closed their mouths.

They knew that at this moment, the Seed of Light had entered a state of contemplation.

This was a certain special ability of his.

Every time, after finishing his contemplation, the Seed of Light would formulate a series of detailed plans.

A moment later, the young man opened his eyes, a look of enlightenment in them, as if he understood something.

"Sullivan's side shouldn't have any problems…"

"In other words, that passage leaked."

"And then someone deduced my intentions based on the existence of the passage, so they ambushed there in advance?"

"And the biggest upheaval in Lake Doron City recently is that demon who broke into the city and snatched our church's holy scripture…"

Although he deduced who the culprit was, his expression was still extremely ugly.

The yellow-robed bishop beside him seemed to want to say some comforting words.

The Seed of Light waved his hand and said: "Bishop Claire, I'm fine."

"Bring over Sullivan's imprint, I want to contact him."

Hearing this, the yellow-robed bishop slightly nodded and came beside that statue.

Among the hundreds of light spheres revolving around it, he grabbed a larger light sphere and came to the young man's side.

Then this young man extended his right index finger, the soft light making contact with the light sphere, seemingly establishing a certain connection.

Then, he heard the commotion on the archbishop's side.

"Crack! Bang!"

Violent explosions continuously came through.

Sounding like it, he seemed to be fighting against some powerhouses.

The young man said directly: "Sullivan, I am the Seed of Light. I know it's inconvenient for you to reply right now, just listen to what I have to say."

"First, let me tell you a piece of news: Sains, Bella, and the others have been completely wiped out."

Hearing this, the archbishop, who was continuously casting various defensive magic to fight the enemy, almost lost control of his breath.

General Kloro, who was battling him, savagely chopped down with an axe!

Almost splitting him in half right on the spot!

At the critical moment!

Over there, the Variant Ghost Sovereign's terrifying sword qi struck over, helping the archbishop block this fatal blow.

After the crisis was resolved, the archbishop breathed a sigh of relief.

The voice of the Seed of Light came from his ear once more.

"Sullivan, you no longer need to stall for time on your end. Now find a way to bring Ouzigar and break through with all your might."

"You don't need to come over to the border either."

"Those who wiped out Bishop Sains and the others should still be that group of demons!"

"Next, I want you to stay in the Gale Snowfield and investigate the whereabouts of this guy with all your might, at all costs!"

"Once there is any clue, I will have Bishop Claire bring the Dawn Chapter over to rain down sanctions upon it!"

"I want this demon to know the consequences of provoking our Church of Light!"

At this moment, Archbishop Sullivan was struggling to resist the attacks of these kingdom powerhouses!

He was a mage-type Tier 7 powerhouse, completely unsuited for this kind of frontal combat.

If it weren't for the Variant Ghost Sovereign constantly cooperating with him by his side, and Tashid intentionally or unintentionally holding back on the other side,

Sullivan would have been taken down long ago.

But even so, he was having a very hard time.

His body had suffered many attacks, and the residual power of those sword wounds and axe wounds continued to severely corrode his body.

He also quickly heard the information transmitted from the Seed of Light's side.

At this moment, Sullivan could only suppress the anger in his heart and replied in a low voice.

"I understand, Seed of Light!"

He looked at the Variant Ghost Sovereign beside him, his heart stirring as he seemed to transmit a certain signal.

Meanwhile, that tall and terrifyingly auraed Variant Ghost Sovereign suddenly raised its ice crystal longsword fiercely!

This sword strike didn't seem to be aimed at the enemy, but pierced towards the sky instead.

Everyone saw that wherever the tip of the sword pointed, the moisture in the air was instantly frozen.

Formed a huge ice pillar that directly rushed into the high sky a thousand meters up!

Because this ice pillar was too tall, even the Survivors fighting outside the city could see it.

They didn't know what had happened, only marveling at the terror of these powerhouses.

However, right at the next moment,

the ice pillar condensed by the Variant Ghost Sovereign seemed to be injected with some kind of terrifying energy.

After an invisible fluctuation,

the ice pillar burst open violently!

"Boom! Crash!"

The terrifying explosion, carrying ice shards all over the sky, blocked everyone's line of sight like a sudden blizzard.

And it was at this very instant that Sullivan and the Variant Ghost Sovereign abandoned their opponents and rushed fiercely toward the sky!

Behind them, a pair of light wings actually grew out!

Seeing this scene,

the general named Kloro instantly understood their intentions!

"The archbishop wants to run, stop them for me!"

Instantly, he and the six commanders launched an attack fiercely together!

Including Tashid, who also made a pretentious slash with his sword!

However, although the power of these commander-level powerhouses was very terrifying, capable of bursting into a jump several hundred meters high into the air,

they could not fly, and could only watch helplessly as the archbishop and the Variant Ghost Sovereign flew higher and higher.

In this world, the ability to fly was still quite rare.

Unless one broke through the Master limit and became a Hero-level powerhouse, they would not have the right to roam the skies!

Meanwhile, after Koro failed to hit with a single strike, he seemed to notice that the attack Taxide had just unleashed was somewhat half-hearted.

With killing intent in his eyes, he said, "Taxide, the archbishop is an important member of the Church of Light, and someone the king has ordered to be executed."

"If you let him escape, I think you know the consequences!"

Taxide's expression was not looking good at this moment either, and he cold-snorted, "Of course I know!"

"They won't be able to run far. Let's chase after them together and definitely intercept them!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The two major generals, Koro and Taxide, led the other commander-level powerhouses to pursue and kill them.

And as the archbishop and the foreign ghost overlord fled.

This also meant that Lake Doron City no longer had any force capable of stopping the kingdom!

"Boom! Rumble!"

The thick city gates of Lake Doron City were directly breached!

A large number of soldiers rushed into the city, launching a one-sided massacre against the remaining personnel of the Church of Light!

Meanwhile, watching the number of foreign ghosts decrease and decrease, that group of Survivors even grew somewhat anxious.

"Brothers, charge!"

"There are fewer and fewer foreign ghosts. After this time, there won't be such an easy opportunity to acquire Honor Points later!"

"Holy shit! This foreign ghost is mine, don't snatch it!"

"Let me kill two, I'm just over 100 Honor Points short of being able to exchange for a full set of legion equipment!"

The Survivors scrambled to be first, and a chaotic phenomenon of monster-stealing even appeared.

A large army of foreign ghosts was submerged!

And at a time when no one was paying attention.

That Death Legion exuding black aura all over, resembling the Grim Reaper harvesting lives.

After slaughtering most of the foreign ghost army, quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

Just like when they appeared, they came fast and left fast.

However, the tens of thousands of soldiers and Survivors who personally experienced this scene would never forget the figure of that Death Legion.

From their appearance to the end of the battle, at least over six thousand foreign ghosts were killed by them!

On such a massive battlefield, relying on the combat power of just over two hundred people, they killed more than half of the enemies!

From this, one can imagine how terrifying the killing efficiency of this legion was.

What they knew even less was that the controller behind this death squad was actually a Survivor Lord just like them.

And Cao Xing thus gained tens of thousands of Honor Points, truly making a fortune in a single battle!

When the last foreign ghost was killed.

The king's army reoccupied Lake Doron City.

This also represented that the siege battle, which had lasted for nearly a week, was officially declared over.

On this day.

The forces of the Church of Light in the Gale Snowfield ushered in an unprecedented crushing defeat!

An army of over thirty thousand foreign ghosts was completely wiped out!

In addition, a total of over five thousand instructors died in battle; adding the number of instructors who died in those camps, it had already reached seven thousand.

Among them were also a large number of black-robed priests and white-robed priests.

Even three red-robed cardinals died.

And this Giant City was recaptured by the legions of the Ice Crystal Kingdom.

It can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and the entire foundation of the church suffered a severe blow.

In the chat channel.

Many Survivors who watched the entire live broadcast were extremely excited and engaged in intense discussions about this battle.

"Haha, the army of the Ice Crystal Kingdom won!"

"Indeed, in front of the regular army, the power of such a cult is simply like ants trying to shake a tree, wildly overestimating themselves!"

"Indeed, the power of a kingdom is still quite terrifying. If they get serious, it's simply a crushing momentum!"

Naturally, these Survivors did not understand the inside story within the city.

They only saw the crushing and decaying side of the king's army dealing with the Church of Light.

At the same time, they also saw the figures of those Survivor legions on the battlefield.

"Whoo! The brothers of the Ice Tiger Legion are so strong! I saw the knighthood you formed. To think this is actually a knighthood formed by us Survivors ourselves, the image of charging on the battlefield is so handsome!"

"I still think Commander Ji Xinyue is more handsome. The female general riding a white tiger, clad in battle armor, leading that group of Ascalon soldiers to kill enemies—that scene left me dumbfounded!"

"Indeed, Commander Ji Xinyue is truly cool and beautiful, and her voice sounds great too."

"I think the brothers of Wangjiang Pavilion and Tiandao Guild are actually not bad either."

This time.

The most brilliant ones were naturally the Ice Tiger Legion and Xingyue Legion.

Right now, the discussion heat of most Survivors was also placed on these two legions.

Especially Ji Xinyue, who even harvested a large group of fanboys and fangirls because of this.

And right at this moment, a recruitment message suddenly appeared.

Jiang Qingyun: "Wangjiang Pavilion is recruiting. We have already upgraded to a Level 3 Legion. The number of Survivor subordinates exceeds one thousand, and adding the number of territory residents, it exceeds four thousand. There are still the last 500 spots left. Those who want to join, come and sign up quickly."

It could be seen that he seemed to want to take advantage of this wave of popularity to expand the legion's strength once again.

Seeing Jiang Qingyun jump out first to recruit people, other commanders also followed suit.

Ice Tiger Legion, Tiandao Legion, and so on…

In addition, they also introduced the benefits after the legion upgraded.

Among them, the most obvious benefit was that when legions moved between each other, there would be a speed bonus.

Level 1 legions increase movement speed by 10%, Level 2 by 15%, Level 3 by 20%, and so on.

In addition, Level 3 legions will unlock blue legion equipment blueprints, which can be used to craft Level 20-40 blue equipment sets according to the blueprints.

Of course, the attributes are actually about the same as blue equipment dropped in the wild.

Then there are some welfare policies and such, like every week, the legion will subsidize food and crowns to the Survivors underneath.

These are all methods they use to recruit people.

The Survivors once again launched an enthusiastic discussion.

"Brothers, looking at the current situation, if large-scale battles become more frequent in the future, joining a legion is an inevitable major trend!"

"Indeed, on a large battlefield like Lake Doron City, individual power has no effect at all. One still needs to choose a good legion to join."

"+1 to upstairs, leaning against a big tree makes it cool underneath. I want to join the Ice Tiger Legion; I am optimistic about them, this one has great potential."

"Haha, I think joining the Xingyue Legion is also not bad. I want to learn combat skills from Commander Ji!"

"Brother upstairs, what kind of mentality do you have? I don't even want to expose you!"

The Survivors engaged in heated discussions about which legion to join.

Among them, the one mentioned the most was still Ji Xinyue's Xingyue Legion.

Besides that, it was Ice Tiger and Tiandao.

As for Wangjiang Pavilion.

Although the strength of this legion was okay, if they had a choice, everyone would subconsciously avoid it.

Because everyone knew that this legion had offended that person.

Although during this construction week, that person didn't appear much in the chat channel.

But no one could ignore his influence.

At this time, Jiang Qingyun also saw the discussion in the chat channel.

Seeing that the name of his Wangjiang Pavilion was rarely mentioned by anyone, naturally he also knew that he had been affected by Cao Xing.

His expression grew increasingly gloomy…

After discussing the trend of legions, the Survivors quickly changed the topic.

"Brothers, I thought of this question. Now that this war is over, the king's army is going back. If we want to exchange the Honor Points on us, can we only go to Eternal Frost Main City?"

Hearing this, the others also reacted.

"That's right! I still have a dozen masks on me! This is what I emptied my bottom dollar to exchange for in the trading market. It won't rot in my hands, right?"

"Holy crap, Eternal Frost Main City is so far away, even if we run our legs off we won't be able to run there!"

And right at this moment, someone answered their question.

Wuxing Hu: "Everyone rest assured, I already asked when I just exchanged my rewards. The king's army will stay in Lake Doron City for a while longer. Those with Honor Points on them can likewise come here to exchange."

"However, if there are big shots who have gathered 100,000 Honor Points and want to exchange for that legendary weapon, they still can only go to Eternal Frost Main City."

Hearing this, the Survivors froze for a moment.

Then they laughed one after another.

"Commander Wu is joking. Who can gather 100,000 Honor Points at the current stage? That's simply an impossible thing."

"That's right, I suspect that king put out this legendary weapon just for us to look at, and never prepared to let anyone exchange for it."

"That's right, 100,000 Honor Points is too terrifying. You'd almost have to wipe out an army of twenty thousand alone to get so many Honor Points, it's too outrageous."

No one believed that someone could gather the terrifying number of 100,000 Honor Points.

However, what they didn't know was that,

not only did someone gather this many Honor Points, they even exceeded it by quite a bit.

Meanwhile, after night fell.

Nearly two hundred powerful presences gathered outside Lake Doron City, deep in a sparsely populated mountain.

Every single one of them exuded a strong killing intent, just like brave soldiers who killed the enemy and returned in triumph!

They were precisely Cao Xing and the others.

After taking care of those three red-robed cardinals and bidding farewell to the city lord, Cao Xing quickly came here.

And successfully rendezvoused with the warriors led by Bjorn.

[Ding! Survivors, please note: The Lake Doron City battle has ended, the foreign ghost army has been completely annihilated, the archbishop and the foreign ghost overlord have escaped…]

[S-grade quest [Root and Stem] progress increased by 3%, current progress 15%…]

[In this siege battle, your performance was outstanding, gaining the recognition of the Kingdom Holy Sword. Ice Crystal Kingdom favorability has increased, current favorability: Friendly]

[Obtained extra reward: Bright Moon Treasure Chest * 1]

"Added another 3% progress, and there's also a Bright Moon Treasure Chest!"

"This wave is comfortable…"

A look of pleasant surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes!

As soon as his voice fell, a bright crystal treasure chest appeared in front of him.

He walked straight forward and opened it!
