Chapter 367: Recruiting Centaur Commander, Saint Harati! (5400)

Chapter 367: Recruiting Centaur Commander, Saint Harati! (5400)

"Clang! Clank!"

Along with a sound of clashing metal.

In the blink of an eye, this hexagram magical formation was embedded with all kinds of longswords!

Cao Xing's eyes instantly lit up.

"Although he's only a chieftain-grade swordsman, this entrance style is really cool and full of aura!"

Then, they saw a figure appear within the teleportation formation.

At the same time, a steady male voice rang out.

"I used to be very ordinary. As a swordsman, my aptitude didn't even reach the level of my peers…"

"Among those talented geniuses, how ordinary I was—jealousy, self-loathing, despair…"

"However, even so, I believe that everyone born has their uses, and one day I will be discovered."

"Even if it ends in despair, I will still firmly swing my sword."

"Experiencing hardship in cultivation is proof of living by one's belief."

"I dreamed that together with what is in my hand, we flew in the sky."

"Now, my heart has no regrets. My aptitude is mediocre, but having extraordinary dreams is not a sin…"

"Thank the Goddess of Fate for her gift, giving me a second life and allowing me to freely wield my sword once more…"

The voice dissipated, and a male figure appeared before them.

The most eye-catching feature was his shoulder-length black hair.

As rich as ink and as smooth as a waterfall.

His build was not tall, just of normal height, yet his body exuded a steady aura.

At his waist hung a slender sharp sword. The scabbard was quaint and ornate, and the hilt was wrapped in black leather, feeling comfortable and secure in the hand.

Cao Xing's gaze moved upward to see a face that was not breathtakingly stunning, but very distinct.

Sword-like eyebrows slanted up into his temples, and his eyes were as deep as the night.

That described this person's appearance.

Strictly speaking, this was the first swordsman in his territory.

Although Assam also used a sword, he leaned more toward the knight class, excelling at charging into battle.

At this moment, this male swordsman also noticed Cao Xing's gaze.

Then he scanned the surrounding soldiers!

He immediately knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice,

"Star Country Swordsman — Xiao, at your service."

Looking at the man kneeling on one knee before him, Cao Xing stepped forward directly: "Welcome, Xiao."

"Your arrival will bring a powerful boost to this territory."

The man in front of him raised his head and said neither servilely nor overbearingly: "I can feel the strength of this territory; there must be quite a few powerhouses here."

"The days ahead surely won't be boring."

His gaze first fell upon Assam, and then upon Liu Muxue.

Including other sword-users in the territory, all were paid attention to by this newcomer swordsman.

Assam in the crowd sensed this person's gaze and calmly met his eyes.

The two sword-users seemed to discern the fighting spirit in each other's eyes at this moment.

They seemed to want to have a match right now.

But they also knew now was not the time.

A smile also appeared at the corner of Cao Xing's mouth, "Rest assured, in my territory, you won't feel bored."

"Xiao, you said you came from Star Country. What kind of place is that?"

He had just heard this swordsman state his origins.

Coupled with the fact that there was also a unit in the points shop called 'Star Country Swordsman', he couldn't help but feel curious about this place.

The steady-tempered swordsman also withdrew his gaze and respectfully replied: "Reporting to this lord, Star Country is in an extremely distant place."

"Our country is stable and prosperous, with highly developed technology, but there are also quite a few martial-loving people like me."

"However, later on, our country suffered that invasion war, and I also died on the battlefield."

"Until now, I am still not clear whether Star Country still exists."

A look of sudden realization appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

He glanced at the attributes of this chieftain-grade swordsman.

…

After reading Xiao's introduction, Cao Xing narrowed his eyes.

"Interesting, is he actually a swordsman who can create his own skills?"

Cao Xing developed an interest in this swordsman.

After all, beings capable of creating their own skills were very rare!

This meant they had unique talents and had walked out their own path within their respective systems.

Like the old Archmage Tyren, and the already dead Archmage Gennady, they all created their own spells.

This also indirectly showed that the strength of this Star Country swordsman before him was far beyond Tier 5 chieftain grade.

Thus, he directly asked: "Xiao, what level was your strongest strength in the past?"

Xiao pondered for a moment and directly replied: "Reporting to Lord Lord, my strongest strength in the past was Tier 6 Commander grade!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded slightly.

As expected, another figure with a formidable background.

However, Xiao's personality was relatively steady; he was not obsessed with his past strength and glory, but quickly accepted the current situation.

And re-inspired his fighting spirit!

A being like him who possessed [Ordinary Heart] was very hard to be knocked down by setbacks.

"Lord Lord, please rest assured. Although my strength has declined, the memories of combat in my mind will not be erased!"

"In continuous battles, I will quickly break through myself and reach the master realm once again!"

There was strong confidence in the black-haired swordsman's eyes.

Cao Xing smiled, "Perhaps, I can make that time even faster."

With those words, he directly pulled out a chieftain-grade soul of a white-robed priest from his backpack and tossed it to the swordsman Xiao.

He still had two chieftain-grade souls of this level in his backpack.

Xiao took it with a blank face and asked in confusion: "Lord Lord, what is this?"

"Something that can restore your potential and make you a chieftain-grade being." Cao Xing was concise and to the point.

Upon hearing this, Xiao seemed to have suffered some kind of impact, his pupils instantly widening!

He could also feel that this soul contained extremely strong power, which could indeed allow him to quickly reach the chieftain grade.

Without thinking, one knew how precious this kind of thing was.

And he had just joined, yet he received this kind of treatment.

For a moment, it was as if a certain string in his heart was touched.

Xiao cupped his hands and then respectfully said: "Thank you, Lord Lord. Xiao will use the longsword in his hand to cleave through thorns and break through obstacles for you!"

[Due to your generous gift, territory member Xiao's loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 71]

Directly added 10 points of loyalty.

Cao Xing chuckled, "Very well, use it now. You know how to use it."

"Understood!"

With those words, Xiao directly slapped this soul into his body!

The next moment, an extremely aggressive and lethal aura burst forth from his body!

If Xiao's aura was steady before.

Then the current him had a sharp edge fully exposed!

Like a sharp blade just drawn from its scabbard, carrying the momentum to cut through everything!

Even Assam couldn't help but look at him sideways.

They were both Tier 5, but previously Assam was a leader, and Xiao was a chieftain, the gap between the two sides was too big.

Although Assam saw the fighting spirit in Xiao's eyes, he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, with his strength, plus a complete lady of the lake sword, dealing with such a Tier 5 chieftain was simply too bullying!

But now, the aura on Xiao's body gradually brought him a trace of a threatening feeling!

[Your territory member Xiao has successfully transformed into a Tier 5 Chieftain-grade creature, basic attributes increased by 30%, activated self-created swordsmanship: Extreme Soul Swordsmanship]

[Extreme Soul Swordsmanship: In battle after battle, Xiao integrated the swordsmanship of various masters, ultimately creating swordsmanship belonging to himself.]

[Parry probability increased by 30%, attack speed increased by 50%, and can release skills: 'Extreme Soul Slash', 'Extreme Soul Flash', 'Brand of Soul']

…

Damn, another self-created swordsmanship!

Just as mentioned before, those who could create a skill on their own were geniuses in people's eyes.

Yet Xiao, with mediocre aptitude, was able to create two skills on his own, one of which was an extremely powerful swordsmanship!

One could imagine that before creating these two skills, Xiao must have put in efforts hard for ordinary people to imagine.

At this moment, this swordsman tightly gripped the longsword in his hand, feeling deeply emotional in his heart.

He originally thought it would take him a very long time to recover to his past strength.

Never did he expect that just after resurrecting from the different space, he would once again possess chieftain-level potential.

Words cannot compare to practical action.

Xiao had already decided to use everything he had to protect this territory!

At this moment, Cao Xing continued, "Xiao, you are very good."

"In my territory, you will soon be able to recover your previous power."

"Even surpassing the past!"

As the words fell, Cao Xing first threw all four of his BUFF skills onto Xiao.

[Ice Armor Technique] + [Ice Healing Art] + [Frost Magic Shield] + [Source of Extreme Ice].

Then, he glanced at the combat personnel nearby.

They understood Cao Xing's meaning.

Liu Muxue, Ilena, Hilda, Victoria, Blot, and others all successively threw various skills onto Xiao!

Blessing of Strength, Blessing of Courage, Snake-man Berserk, Queens Will, Nen Qi Surround, Black Smoke Totem, Resonance Totem…

As the various BUFFs continued to enhance.

The aura on this swordsman began to surge at a terrifying speed!

In the blink of an eye, it reached Andrew's level.

Xiao had a blank look on his face at this moment, still not recovering from Cao Xing's series of status effects.

And right at this moment, Cao Xing took out that epic-tier longsword from his backpack — — the Divine Shadow Sword!

"Xiao, catch!"

Clang!

The Divine Shadow Sword swept through the air, as if it could cut through the air, and the sword body made a slight trembling sound.

At this moment, Xiao was still in the midst of strength enhancement and hadn't reacted in time.

But he instinctively caught this pitch-black longsword that exuded strong lethality!

At this moment, Xiao instantly felt the powerful force contained within this weapon!

His pupils contracted again!

"Lord!"

"This… I… This…"

This iron-willed swordsman was even becoming incoherent at this time.

Like the others, Xiao was shocked in place by Cao Xing's series of blessings!

After all, this kind of all-around permanent enhancement was simply too terrifying!

Xiao felt that his current strength could even go toe-to-toe with himself at his peak.

Cao Xing waved his hand, "No need for words, use the power I bestowed upon you, and the sword in your hand, to cut down all enemies!"

Xiao took a few deep breaths, thousands of words converging into one sentence.

"Xiao, obeys!"

[Due to your generous gift, territory member: Xiao's loyalty has greatly increased, current loyalty: 86]

…

Two consecutive waves of enhancement directly pushed his loyalty to 86.

The corners of Cao Xing's mouth also hooked into a smile.

"Return to the ranks, Xiao, there will be a task in a moment."

The swordsman nodded solemnly, then went into the team behind him.

As for Cao Xing, he took out another scroll from his backpack.

This was a Tier 5 Commander-grade scroll, the summoned creature inside must be very powerful.

[Do you want to use the Tier 5 Commander-grade Centaur Archer Recruitment Scroll?]

"Yes!"

The moment Cao Xing clicked confirm.

Instantly, this scroll erupted with dazzling light.

Then it turned into countless fragments and disappeared.

"Neigh~!"

At the same time, the sound of ten thousand horses galloping rang in Cao Xing's ears!

"Thud thud… Thud thud thud!"

Then, Cao Xing saw a nimble and light figure appear in the sky!

As those four horse hooves continuously leapt in mid-air, rapidly approaching the center of the territory.

And Cao Xing also clearly saw the appearance of this figure.

Her upper body was an exquisitely beautiful woman, her skin as delicate and smooth as suet white jade, exuding a soft luster.

Her lower body was a horse's body with soft red fur.

Dressed in a red tight-fitting leather armor, it both highlighted her exquisite figure and did not hinder her movements.

On her back was an exquisite longbow, the bow body made of dark red wood, carved with exquisite patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Between the four hooves under her feet, with every step she took down, it seemed as if several blood-colored petals appeared.

This Centaur was like a blood-colored rose, bright and fiery yet soul-stirring.

Just like that, in the sky, step by step she walked toward him.

The Centaurs of the entire territory seemed to sense something.

They all raised their heads, staring fixedly at that Centaur in the sky!

At this time, Kantor exclaimed, "Chieftain above! This is our saint, Harati Soft-hoof!"

Hearing the name 'Harati', the gazes of all the Centaurs on the field instantly became incomparably fanatical.

At the same time.

This archer, carrying a strong leader's aura on her body, had her four hooves land on the ground of the territory.

She walked step by step, the petals under her feet looking like fresh blood spilled on the ground.

The sound of a mountain spring striking rocks rang out, pleasant and melodious.

"Centaurs know secrets you cannot understand, our warriors are like fire and shade in battle."

"Your kind can enslave us, but you can never destroy our spirit."

"Under the open sky, we fear nothing…"

Many Centaur warriors couldn't help walking over, humming along.

"The swords and halberds in our hands shine with light, the courage in our hearts lasts forever."

"The road ahead is rugged and long, the Centaur's pace never falters…"

"For the homeland…"

At this moment, this Centaur dressed in red battle armor, red all over like a rose, took down the longbow on her back.

With a firm gaze, she said, "Tribal warriors, I am Harati, and I will fight side by side with you!"

Hearing this, all the Centaurs shouted loudly, "We are with you, Saint Harati!"

In the territory, more than a hundred Centaurs instantly fell into a fanatical state!

This female Centaur slightly nodded, pacifying the fanatical Centaurs.

Then she cast her gaze toward Cao Xing.

"Excuse me, are you my lord?"

Cao Xing nodded, "That's right, I am the lord of this territory, and also the lord of the other Centaurs here."

Hearing that last sentence, Harati was not as resistant as imagined, instead her gaze became softer.

"That's great… I never thought that as soon as I came out, I would see so many Centaurs."

"I can see that the clansmen live very well in this territory."

"The Blood Legion destroyed our homeland, and now, they seem to have found a new place of stability."

The corners of Cao Xing's mouth also hooked into an arc.

"You are right, this can become a new home for the Centaurs, a land of glory."

"Then, welcome, Harati Soft-hoof!"

This beautiful female Centaur slightly bowed her waist, and with the most solemn etiquette said, "It's an honor to receive your invitation."

"I will guard your honor in the name of the Centaur Saint…"

Cao Xing laughed.

The two people summoned today both have pretty good tempers.

Then, he glanced at the attributes of this commander.
