Everyone breaks through, Marita is shocked! (6200)

As Cao Xing clicked confirm!

In an instant, a wave of intense blood mist emanated from Balthazar's divine altar.

The blood mist began to continuously spread, devouring all the food and coins on the ground…

As these offerings were gradually devoured, the blood mist on the altar seemed to condense to a peak!

The next moment.

A pillar of blood erupted, fiercely surging into the sky!

"Hum!"

The pillar of blood soared straight into the sky!

Then it transformed into 216 slender pillars of blood, falling onto those warriors.

A wave of powerful aura suddenly burst forth from their bodies, and they all entered a breakthrough state.

The sight of over two hundred warriors simultaneously breaking through to Tier 5 was quite terrifying!

You must know that Tier 5 Expert-level creatures were no longer considered weaklings on this continent.

And all at once, Cao Xing's territory gained over two hundred of them!

One can imagine what kind of concept this was.

"Hum…"

The tyrannical aura continuously overflowed, instantly spreading across the entire territory.

Those Star Country swordsmen were filled with amazement, and at the same time, a look of sudden realization appeared in their eyes.

"So that's how it is. The Lord took out so many resources just to help the warriors break through!"

"It's truly an unimaginable method to actually allow so many warriors to break through to Tier 5 all at once!"

The wind mages nearby also widened their eyes.

"Wind God above, such a large-scale breakthrough is extremely rare even among those large factions…"

"It's too incredible!"

Including Marita, who was in the room, and that veiled woman, they couldn't help but cast sideways glances at it.

They successively raised their heads, looking outside with solemn expressions.

Marita asked with a solemn expression: "Did you sense it?"

The woman in front of her nodded slightly, "I sensed it. This territory has gained many more auras of powerhouses!"

"Previously, only one or two people in this territory could bring some threat to me."

"And now, I actually have a feeling of needles pricking my back!"

"The aura on those warriors currently breaking through is almost reaching Tier 6 strength!"

At this moment, even the two of them couldn't help but face the strength of this territory squarely!

Too terrifying!

Although these Wild Boar Warriors only broke through to Tier 5, under the blessing of a series of buffs, almost all of them reached the level of Tier 6.

Several hundred Tier 6 powerhouses, what kind of concept was this?

That was equivalent to several hundred Master-level powerhouses!

Although not all Tier 6 deserved to be called Masters.

But this was enough to make people feel fearful.

Marita and the woman before her exchanged a glance, a look of contemplation flowing from their eyes as they didn't know what they were pondering.

[Your territory member: Rabb has successfully broken through, becoming a Tier 5 Boss-level creature. Base attributes increased by 100%, health points additionally increased by 50%, level cap opened to level 50]

[Your territory member…]

In front of Cao Xing, over two hundred system prompts rang out!

Closely following that, another system prompt appeared,

[Notice! Because your territory's unit combat power has significantly increased, Tier 5 strength units have increased by 216 people, fully loyal personnel have increased by 65, and prosperity has increased by a total of 572 points…]

On the Prosperity Leaderboard, Cao Xing's prosperity increased by another huge chunk!

At this moment, some of the surviving members returning to the territory were boredly browsing the forum.

And happened to notice this scene.

Instantly exclaiming endlessly.

"Holy crap, Great Lord Cao Xing's prosperity is about to break through 3,000!"

"So outrageous? I remember he was only at 2,300 a few days ago. This growth rate is too exaggerated!"

"Yeah, Goddess Bai Zhi has only just reached 1,300 by now. This growth speed is simply being rubbed on the ground and frictioned!"

"What? Great Lord Cao Xing is going to rub Goddess Bai Zhi on the ground? Are there any videos?"

"You guys are really obscene. I want to say, if there are any, please send me a copy…"

The topic was quickly led astray by these silly Survivors.

At this moment, after seeing the system prompt, a smile appeared at the corners of Cao Xing's mouth.

And those two hundred-plus warriors after their breakthrough were extremely excited.

Feeling the surging power within their bodies, they grew even more excited.

The Wild Boar Warriors excitedly said: "Beast God above, I actually became a Tier 5 Expert-level powerhouse! The Patriarch will definitely be proud of me!"

"Haha! I never expected that Wild Boar Warriors would also have the day they break through to Tier 5!"

Although that group of Ascalon Warriors didn't speak, fiery flames seemed to rise in their eyes.

The next moment, all the warriors reacted.

They simultaneously looked at their lord with a fanatical gaze.

Because they knew that being able to have today relied entirely on this man's power!

The warriors simultaneously knelt on one knee and solemnly said: "Thank you for your cultivation, Lord!"

"We will use the sharp blades in our hands to defend your honor to the death!"

Cao Xing nodded, "Very good, all of you get up."

"Keep working hard in the future, I will find a way to let you step into a higher and stronger realm!"

Hearing this, all the warriors' breathing stalled!

Because they were currently Tier 5 level powerhouses.

Stepping into a higher realm, could it be… the legendary Master!?

Thinking of this possibility made them feel even more shocked.

And other non-combat occupations felt endlessly envious.

At the same time, after upgrading all the warriors.

Cao Xing's gaze turned to those two hundred Star Country swordsmen and wind mage apprentices.

He continued: "I know that your levels have also reached the limit of Tier 3."

"Then now, I will let you all break through together and become Tier 4 powerhouses."

Hearing this, a look of blankness appeared in the eyes of those swordsmen and mages.

Then came excitement!

They originally thought that this kind of special honor could only be enjoyed by the old-timers in the territory.

Never expected that existences like them who had just arrived in the territory not long ago could actually receive the lord's care.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned red, and they instantly felt incomparably eager in their hearts!

Cao Xing didn't explain much, directly exchanging all 13 million Ice Dragon Marks in his backpack into Advanced Hearts of Power.

In an instant, a full 260 fiery red crystals appeared.

These Hearts of Power piled together, emitting wave after wave of intense fluctuations.

Cao Xing continued.

"Alright, everyone come over and claim a Heart of Power to break through."

"If anyone fails, just take a second one to break through."

Although using Advanced Hearts of Power to break through had a probability of failure,

but Cao Xing's luck value was very high, so these 260 pieces were completely enough.

And this group of newly joined swordsmen and mages all had excited expressions, while a look of emotion surfaced in their eyes.

One of the Star Country swordsmen said with deep emotion.

"I really didn't expect that just coming to this territory for a few days… Lord not only cast powerful blessings for us, but also continuously improved our strength…"

"And now you're even going to help us break through to Tier 4…"

Including those wind mages, they were also deeply moved at this moment.

This kind of treatment was completely unimaginable before this.

They successively made bowing gestures and respectfully said.

"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, Lord!"

[Due to your generous gift, territory member: Lin's loyalty has increased, current loyalty: 94]

[Due to your generous gift, territory member: Allen's loyalty has increased. Because loyalty is maxed out, hidden effect triggered: Die-hard Loyalty]

[Due to your…]

After two hundred consecutive system prompts, their loyalty increased by another large chunk.

Cao Xing smiled, "Alright, everyone come over."

Then, everyone began their breakthrough journey.

They walked over one by one, claimed a Heart of Power, and broke through on the side.

"Crack! Snap!"

As pure power flowed into their bodies,

continuous system prompts rang out.

Wave after wave of tyrannical auras also continuously emerged.

This made the look of surprise on the faces of Marita in the room and the woman opposite her even thicker.

Although this wave of breakthroughs wasn't as shocking as the two hundred-plus warriors all breaking through to Tier 5 just now, it was still quite a terrifying power!

The mysterious woman softly said.

"This territory seems to have gained many more Tier 4 powerhouses."

"With his current strength, it is already enough to rival the strength of an ace army of our kingdom."

"It's truly incredible…"

"I remember, these Otherworld Lords haven't even been in this world for two months yet, right?"

"If according to this speed of his, after some more time, how terrifying of a power would he possess!?"

Marita couldn't answer her question at this moment, because she also felt extremely surprised.

She discovered that every time she saw Cao Xing, this man would bring her different degrees of surprises.

When they first met, Cao Xing's strength was only at the Tier 3 level, relatively weak in her eyes.

And the second time at Anluo River Village, this man had already become a Tier 4 mage.

Now meeting again, not only had he become a Tier 5 powerhouse, but he even possessed such powerful territory strength!

The woman beside her said: "Aunt… I seem to understand why you value this Otherworld Lord so much."

"You said, can we think of a way to recruit this Lord Cao Xing to our Orchid Kingdom?"

Hearing this, Marita shook her head and said: "No."

"I can tell that Lord Cao Xing is not the kind of existence willing to live under others; he has his own ideals."

"This kind of person will not easily submit to others."

Hearing this, the woman also felt a bit regretful.

But Marita changed the topic.

Saying with a solemn tone: "As for the matters here, I hope you keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone!"

"Lord Cao Xing trusts us, which is why he lets us stay in his territory. We cannot let down his trust."

"Including after returning to the Orchid Kingdom, you are not allowed to tell anyone, understand?"

Listening to her solemn words, the woman opposite sighed: "I know, I'm not stupid."

A few minutes later.

On the field, one hundred Star Country swordsmen and one hundred wind mages all successfully broke through to Tier 4!

I wonder if it was because Cao Xing's luck value was relatively high.

In the end, there were actually 23 Hearts of Power remaining out of 260.

Everyone stood in place with excited expressions!

This time, a total of 416 people broke through, which was even more formidable than the last collective breakthrough!

If these four hundred-plus people all dispatched together, Cao Xing even had the confidence to directly roll over and annihilate that 30,000-strong army of Others!

Of course, the premise was that the Otherlord didn't make a move.

Tier 7 Sovereign-level creatures were still too perverted.

Until now, Cao Xing didn't have much confidence to deal with that level of guy.

However, during this period of time, he also gained more trump cards.

The ancient divine weapon seal, the Blood Spider Queen's suicide Blood Spiders, and the master-tier Sarah as well as Francesca and so on…

Realistically speaking, even against a Tier 7 Dominator-grade creature, he could still put up a fight.

It's just that it might come at a certain price.

Cao Xing continued, "Then now, I am going to summon another batch of new companions over."

As his words fell, he took out the scrolls from his backpack.

[Do you wish to use the Silver Hand Knights Recruitment Scroll?]

[Do you wish to use the Earth Mage Apprentice Recruitment Scroll?]

[Do you wish to use the Tribal Witch Doctor Recruitment Scroll?]

"Yes."

Cao Xing clicked confirm for all of them.

In an instant!

In the open space in front of everyone, three different scenes appeared.

One was the earth constantly rising when summoning earth mages.

Another was the totems rising from the ground when summoning Tribal Witch Doctors.

And the most special one was still the entrance method of this group of Silver Hand Knights.

Beams of light could be seen shooting down from the sky.

Resembling spotlights gathered upon a stage.

Figures slowly descended from the curtain of light.

Their silhouettes flickered indistinctly within the light curtain, and steady, profound voices rang out.

"A blazing sense of justice will also weaken when faced with the cold."

"The calmness like ice will also melt before scorching heat."

"Those who know all things will also kneel before ignorance; this is simply common sense."

"Use our hearts to observe those things that cannot be seen through from the surface."

"Use our true strength to follow that sole truth."

…

When the voices ended.

All the light curtains dissipated accordingly.

Before everyone appeared brave knights wearing white battle armor and holding three-meter-long spears.

The patterns on their battle armor were exquisite and delicate, and the flickering radiance was like holy ice and snow, sturdy and magnificent.

The spears in their hands were uniformly silver, and the tips emitted a hint of cold light.

Even the hand gripping the spear was silver.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing's eyes instantly lit up.

"They're actually spearmen? And they're even using three-meter-long spears!"

"This kind of knight is indeed very suitable for charging into battle!"

Just as mentioned before, a knight refers to a profession.

It can include heavy cavalry wielding long spears and heavy hammers.

It can also include shock cavalry using long swords and shields.

Of course, there is also light cavalry using bow and arrow type weapons.

Depending on the different battlefields, these knights can all display different effects.

And among them, the one most suitable for charging into battle is undoubtedly heavy cavalry.

On the battlefield, a wave of charges from these heavy cavalry, when their numbers reach a certain level, will roll over like a torrent of steel, crushing all enemies into fragments!

Last time in Lake Doron City, the king's heavy armored knight order played a huge role when dealing with the Ghouls.

And Cao Xing's goal was to train a batch of Griffin Knights.

Clearly, these Silver Hand Knights were quite suitable.

Moreover, because Gale Griffins were also melee units, they possessed extremely terrifying mobility.

By then, combined with these spear-wielding Silver Hand Knights, their lethality would skyrocket by several tiers!

Whether in sky or land combat, they were all-rounders.

Coupled with Cao Xing's series of permanent buffs, they could not only be applied to the mounts but also to the knights.

Once the griffin corps took form, it would definitely bring a nightmare to the enemies on the battlefield!

Thinking of this, Cao Xing was even somewhat impatient.

These Silver Hand Knights were uniformly male, with resolute expressions.

After seeing Cao Xing, everyone put down the weapons in their hands and then bowed, saying,

"Silver Hand Knights: Wilson / Wilson / Willig… reporting to you…"

Cao Xing stepped forward, then solemnly said,

"Welcome, brave knights."

"Although I don't know for what reason you were sealed within the summoning space."

"But in my territory, you will forget the past and start everything anew."

Hearing this, these Silver Hand Knights exchanged glances one after another.

One of them, around thirty or forty years old, stepped forward and bowed, saying,

"Respected Lord, we died in the invasion war…"

"That was a very terrifying group of enemies…"

"But in the summoning space, we were told by a mysterious power that we cannot reveal the details of the invasion war."

"We are deeply sorry…"

A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

Just as before, he was unable to learn what happened during the invasion war.

The previous few times he went to find Hilda to discuss this matter, some key information had also been blocked by the system.

Furthermore, this kind of blocking was all-encompassing.

It was not just language.

Including records you made on paper, spiritual communication, and so on, all would be comprehensively blocked.

Cao Xing pondered, "However, although the system blocked the key information of the invasion war."

"During this period of time, I have actually learned quite a few clues."

Shaking his head, Cao Xing did not continue on this topic.

He looked at this group of newcomers and continued, "Very well, you are the first batch of knight troops in my territory."

"In the future, I also hope you can ride griffins and become the aerial cavalry units in the territory."

Hearing these words, these Silver Hand Knights exchanged glances, expressions of doubt appearing on their faces one after another.

"This Lord, you mean… griffins?"

"As far as I know, this kind of unruly creature is far too difficult to tame."

"Only those kingdoms that have developed for many years have the strength to establish an entire griffin knight order."

"In our territory, there is still this kind of creature?"

Cao Xing smiled and did not explain further.

The next moment, he casually waved his hand.

"Whoosh~!"

At the edge of the territory, four massive figures soared into the sky.

"Screech—"

A resounding cry echoed through the night sky!

And as Cao Xing waved again, these four figures, like sharp swords, steadily landed back into the territory.

From the griffins soaring into the sky to landing, it took less than three seconds.

However, although it was merely a fleeting glance, this group of Silver Hand Knights was shocked in place!

Because they clearly recognized that creature.

It was precisely the Gale Griffin!

"The gods above, it really is a griffin!"

Cao Xing smiled: "My territory has just started, so there are currently only four."

"But I believe it won't be long before we can form an entire griffin knight order!"

Hearing this, these Silver Hand Knights instead said excitedly: "This Lord, four griffins are already a fairly powerful force."

The others also chimed in one after another, "That's right, how many knights' dream is to be able to pilot this kind of creature and soar through the skies, yet rarely can anyone achieve it."

"To think that such a powerful creature actually exists in this territory!"

"We will offer our loyalty and strength to you, assisting you in establishing the griffin knight order!"

The next moment.

Over a hundred loyalty increase prompts appeared.

Looking at their excited emotions, a smile also surfaced at the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

Actually, being a lord is pretty much the same as being a boss.

As long as you give the people under you a bit of hope, they will pour twelve-fold enthusiasm into the territory.

Just like right now, as long as you tell them to work hard and that griffins will be assigned to them in the future, these knights instantly gained a sense of belonging.

At the same time.

Cao Xing also noticed the waiting figures on the other side.

Aside from the one hundred earth mage apprentices wearing mage robes.

There were also ten Tribal Witch Doctors.

These Tribal Witch Doctors uniformly wore robes sewn from various crude animal pelts, looking colorful.

Hanging on their bodies were some strange little trinkets, such as feathers of certain birds, beast fangs, and some strange colored stones.

Besides that, they held a blackened wooden staff in their hands.

Cao Xing continued: "Welcome, mages from the Yudia Mage Association."

"And the Tribal Witch Doctors."

"This territory will become even more prosperous because of your arrival."

These one hundred and ten people all slightly nodded.

Regarding Cao Xing leaving them aside for a moment, they held no particular thoughts in their hearts.

After all, the moment they just descended, they sensed just how powerful the existences in this territory were!

The aura on those warriors was simply too powerful.

If it were just one, that would be one thing.

But here there were a full two hundred plus of them!

Among them, there were even quite a few existences that just looking at them made people feel short of breath.

That was the oppression of the master-tier!

At the same time, those Tribal Witch Doctors swept their gazes around the territory and locked eyes with that group of Wild Boar Warriors.

For some reason, a trace of hostility appeared mutually in their eyes.

"Heh… There are so many people from the Wild Boar Tribe here. These simple-minded fellows actually found a good territory."

Hearing these words, the nearby Rabb counterattacked:

"Oh! The Beast God above, I thought it was some bunch of the old, weak, sick, and disabled from who knows where."

"Turns out it's you guys from the Black Fang Tribe!"

"To think that after so many years, you lot haven't died of old age yet!"

Although Rabb looked straightforward, his skill at scolding people was not lacking in the slightest.

His rugged face was full of disdain, and his eyes carried provocation.

Hearing this, the ten Tribal Witch Doctors immediately tightened their grip on the staves in their hands and glared!

"What did you say!?"

"You brainless fellows, back then during the invasion war you got injured, and one by one you carried your wounded to our Black Fang Tribe to beg us for healing!"

"And now you still dare to talk big here."

Rabb replied: "Hmph! If it weren't for us Wild Boar Warriors fighting to the death back then, your Black Fang Tribe would have been completely wiped out on the eve of the war!"

"Our Wild Boar Tribe is the strongest tribe in the primeval forest!"

Watching both sides argue endlessly.

Cao Xing understood their relationship.

Roughly speaking, the Wild Boar Tribe and the Black Fang Tribe were two hostile tribes.

Originally, the two sides had always been in a state of hostility.

But because of the invasion war, both sides were forced to unite together.

Even so, people from both tribes still felt unconvinced.

Thus, as soon as they met, they started bickering.

Cao Xing smiled and shook his head, saying: "Alright, stop talking."

"Although you might have had some grievances in the past."

"Since you have come to our territory, then past matters are in the past."

"I don't require you to let it go immediately either, but within my territory, everyone must obey my orders!"

"Do you all understand?"
