Recruit the Dragon Speaker, the first hero in the territory! (6000)

Cao Xing was speechless.

"If you could just reject them, why did you have to kill the other person?"

A trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of Dragon Speaker. "Because this fellow spoke insolently to me and made me feel sick."

"So I killed him."

Cao Xing nodded. "Well, killing him was definitely the right thing to do."

"However, what kind of existence are the Watchers anyway? Also, why do they want to recruit you to join them?"

Hearing this question, Dragon Speaker gathered her thoughts and then replied.

"The Watchers boast that they are the guardians of the human race, protecting humans from the threats of other ethnic groups."

"But the ones gathered inside are all a bunch of crazy existences."

Cao Xing looked at her doubtfully. "Guardians, yet a bunch of crazy existences?"

"How does that sound so contradictory?"

"It is indeed very contradictory."

The woman nodded and then said, "Do you know what their philosophy is?"

"I don't know."

"Their philosophy is to make all humans coexist equally and eliminate oppression in human society."

"In other words, they want to overthrow the feudal system that has lasted for tens of thousands of years on the continent!"

"They want a revolution! To revolt against these nobles' lives!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing became even more puzzled.

"Isn't it a good thing that they want to overthrow the feudal system of this continent?"

Dragon Speaker shook her head. "Their philosophy is indeed good, but their methods are too extreme."

"They believe that even if this group of royalty and nobility are slaughtered to the last person, it is still impossible to eradicate people's deep-rooted thoughts."

"Even if this batch of nobles dies, new nobles and new oppression will appear."

"Therefore, these people summoned the Blood Legion."

"The purpose is to let blood dye the earth red, annihilate all kingdoms, and then carry out a thorough purge!"

Hearing this last sentence, a look of shock also appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

To actually annihilate all kingdoms, this was truly crazy enough!

You must know that, excluding other continents, there were countless large and small kingdoms across the entire Western Continent.

Among them were ancient dynasties that had lasted for tens of thousands of years, as well as newly rising kingdoms from recent times.

It was said that in the center of the continent, there was even a massive Human Empire!

They actually wanted to annihilate so many kingdoms in one fell swoop.

When the war broke out, it was simply unimaginable how many people would die.

Dragon Speaker looked at Cao Xing and continued, "Moreover, that's not all. Aside from these kingdoms and churches,"

"Even you Otherworld Lords are likewise their targets for strikes."

"However, relying on their strength, they certainly cannot fight against so many enemies."

"So they secretly searched for some factionless Masters, Heroes, and even Legendary powerhouses to join the Watchers faction."

"And that's how I was targeted."

Cao Xing frowned slightly.

"Do you know how large this faction's scale is, and how many powerhouses are inside?"

Dragon Speaker shook her head. "I'm not clear about that."

"I only know that the existences who besieged Seraphis and me last time had a full five Tier-9 powerhouses, and the strength of one of them was even close to Legendary."

"However, as far as I know, inside the Watchers faction, there are definitely Legendary powerhouses, or even… even stronger existences."

After listening to Dragon Speaker's account, the shock in Cao Xing's eyes grew even richer.

There were actually existences above Legendary!

No wonder this faction dared to boast of being human guardians and also opposed so many kingdoms.

And that Dragon Speaker could escape from the siege of so many powerhouses also proved her strength.

However, Cao Xing did not feel much pressure at present.

When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up; the ones the Watchers would target first were those kingdoms.

Regarding the Blood Legion controlled by the Watchers, he had also gained some understanding during this period.

Although the hazard was huge, it would not fully erupt in a short period of time.

Therefore, there was no need to worry too much for now.

Moreover, even if the faction behind the Blood Legion, the Watchers side, truly had Legendary or above Legendary existences,

the Human Empire would presumably also take action.

After all, a thousand years ago, the Blood Legion had been beaten back once.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment and did not continue asking about this topic.

Anyway, he had more or less understood what needed to be understood.

He continued to ask, "What are your plans next?"

Dragon Speaker shook her head. "No particular plans. After recovering from my injuries, I'll go find Seraphis, and then find a way to take revenge."

"I want to make these fellows, these damned fellows, pay the price!"

In her tone, there was a trace of fierce killing intent!

The previous setback did not strike down this woman; instead, it further inspired the fighting spirit in her heart!

Cao Xing did not speak, but instead scrutinized her for a moment.

Dragon Speaker seemed to feel a bit unnatural under Cao Xing's gaze.

She frowned slightly and then said, "What are you staring at me for?"

Cao Xing did not answer, but instead asked in return, "Do you want to become stronger?"

"Hmm?" Dragon Speaker looked at him doubtfully.

"Join my territory, and I have methods to let you greatly enhance your strength in a short period of time."

"And it can allow you to gain permanent recovery abilities, as well as other abilities."

"What do you think?"

Cao Xing finally stated his ultimate purpose and directly threw out the conditions.

Dragon Speaker looked at him doubtfully. "Are you… recruiting me?"

Cao Xing spread his hands and did not deny it.

"Yes."

At this moment, a look of contemplation appeared in the woman's eyes.

Then, she glanced at him with an appraising gaze, seemingly pondering something.

Cao Xing continued, "I think you should be able to tell, right?"

"When you saw me last time, I didn't even have a single Master-tier subordinate by my side."

"Now, there are already three Master-tier powerhouses in the entire territory."

"Including us, we will soon be able to break through to Master."

"And relying on your current power, it is simply impossible to deal with the enemy."

"By the time you slowly grow stronger, the Blood Legion will have already fully erupted."

"Joining my territory is the only way to possess even more powerful strength in a short period of time."

Cao Xing was patiently guiding her step by step, his voice carrying an extremely strong bewitching quality.

Dragon Speaker pondered for a moment. "I did indeed feel a magical power within your territory."

"If I join you, can I possess this power?"

"Are there any other conditions?"

She didn't believe Cao Xing would be so kind-hearted.

"There is indeed another condition."

Cao Xing did not deny it and said directly.

"Next, I will lead the warriors of the entire territory together to go to a special plane, and I need you to accompany me there to fight."

"The time will be one month…"

"During this period, you need to obey my command."

"After one month, when we return from that plane, you can go look for your companion, Seraphis. How about it?"

Dragon Speaker seemed to have also been persuaded by Cao Xing.

But the pride in her heart compelled her to be unwilling to be bound by others.

Struggling for a moment, she sighed.

"You saved me once, and I owe you a favor."

"Then helping you once is nothing much."

Cao Xing's eyes lit up. "Does that mean you agree?"

Dragon Speaker slightly nodded.

Cao Xing instantly felt wildly overjoyed in his heart!

He originally just held a trial attitude; even if this woman refused, it wouldn't be surprising.

As a result, unexpectedly, this woman actually agreed!

His heart was simply bursting with joy!

Because this indicated that he was finally going to possess a Hero-level powerhouse!

He quickly handed a recruitment invitation over to Dragon Speaker.

[Recruitment successful: Dragon Speaker Bing Lan, Lv 84, Tier-9 Commander-level creature, has joined your territory, Population +10, Prosperity +100]

…

At this moment, Cao Xing's pupils instantly constricted.

"Holy shit! Level 84 Commander! Tier-9 powerhouse!"

His heart was instantly filled with shock!

"Damn it, I hit the jackpot!"

"To actually let me pick up such a powerful existence."

And Cao Xing also noticed her name.

Bing Lan.

The name sounded quite nice.

Right at the instant Dragon Speaker joined the territory,

the Pale Tree's 100% health bonus was directly added onto her.

Dragon Speaker instantly felt a tyrannical vitality emerge within her body!

A look of astonishment appeared in her purple pupils.

She stretched out her fair fingers, feeling her skyrocketing health points.

"Unimaginable power. Just after joining your territory, I feel my vitality has doubled…"

"Is this the blessing you mentioned? It's indeed remarkable."

This reticent Dragon Speaker couldn't help but sigh in praise of the Pale Tree's power at this moment.

Hearing this, Cao Xing smiled instead.

"No, this is merely one of the effects within my territory."

"Next, I will also add more magical blessings to you."

Hearing this, a trace of unusual emotion emerged in Dragon Speaker's calm, wave-less pupils.

In her gaze looking at Cao Xing, a few shades of seriousness also appeared.

Prior to this, she had never thought about how much power Cao Xing could bring her.

After all, as a lord, he only possessed Tier-5 strength, a gap far too vast compared to hers.

Joining the territory was merely to repay his saving grace.

And now, just the move of doubling her health points directly made Bing Lan look at him with new respect.

But now, this man said that this was merely one of the blessing effects in his territory.

While feeling shocked in her heart, a trace of expectation inevitably arose as well.

Perhaps…

she could truly elevate her strength to a higher level within this territory.

At this moment, Cao Xing's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Follow me, I'll take you to meet other companions in the territory."

Bing Lan nodded slightly.

Then, she followed Cao Xing and walked out of the basement.

On the way,

Cao Xing took the opportunity to check Bing Lan's stats.

Although her level was 34 levels higher than his,

after becoming a friendly creature, Cao Xing could still view her stats in detail.

…

…

After reading this woman's attributes, Cao Xing took a deep breath.

Goodness!

Terrifying! It is so damn terrifying!

These are the attributes of a Hero-level powerhouse, with over ten million HP, simply awe-inspiring!

Moreover, boosted by the Pale Tree, her HP even reached twenty million.

Coupled with those terrifying skills one after another, no wonder this woman is so fierce.

Of course, the most terrifying one is that Commander-level skill!

She can actually move inside a spatial rift.

No wonder the Dragon Speaker said that within the Ice Crystal Kingdom, she could arrive in ten seconds!

Too overpowered…

However… Cao Xing also discovered that all of this woman's skills are biased towards offensiveness, without a single life-saving means.

Such a powerhouse can indeed play a huge role in team battles.

If you let her fight alone, it would be fine if she encounters not many enemies.

If you encounter a few evenly matched enemies, and your burst wave fails to instantly kill the opponent in one second…

Then you are the one who dies.

That is why the Dragon Speaker was defeated under the siege of the Watchers.

"No matter, it doesn't matter, this woman is already a person in my territory."

"And next, I will make her even stronger, directly making up for the shortcoming of insufficient survivability!"

"At that time, the Dragon Speaker in a state without any weaknesses will be a true killing machine!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing looked forward to it even more.

Then he took her and walked towards the center of the territory.

Soon, they arrived at the plaza area.

Cao Xing turned around and said to her, "Wait a moment, I will call everyone out."

The Dragon Speaker slightly nodded, and then stood aside arrogantly.

At the same time.

Cao Xing shouted, "All combatants and staff, gather for the second time."

Upon hearing the command.

First, hundreds of combatants all walked over.

Besides those soldiers, there were also many powerful existences with formidable auras.

Assam, wearing a full set of golden battle armor and holding a Legendary weapon.

There was also the Forest Witch wearing a light blue dress with a mighty aura.

As well as the Blood Spider Queen, exuding a terrifying Blood Poison aura that chills people to the bone…

As one powerhouse after another appeared.

The indifference in the Dragon Speaker's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.

Looking at these powerful existences one by one, she had already begun to face this territory squarely in her heart!

The strength of this territory seemed to be much more formidable than she had imagined.

Although the strength of these few who had just appeared was inferior to her own.

But the life levels on their bodies had all reached a terrifying degree!

If they were of the same Tier 9, even she would not be sure of defeating any of them…

After coming to this conclusion, a trace of frustration actually emerged in the Dragon Speaker's heart.

Before this, she considered herself to be an invincible existence of the same tier.

Even when she suffered defeat last time, it was because of enemy siege.

And now, any casually appearing powerhouse in this territory actually made her feel that she was inferior to the other party.

This was simply an unimaginable thing!

At the same time, when Sarah, holding an epic dagger, appeared like a ghost.

The disbelief in the Dragon Speaker's eyes gradually transformed into shock!

"Domain…"

"This is the ability of an Overlord-level creature!"

"How can there be an Overlord-level creature in this territory?!"

She couldn't help asking.

Cao Xing turned his head and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with Overlords?"

The Dragon Speaker said with a solemn expression, "Because Commander-level is already the limit of potential for all creatures."

"And an Overlord is an existence that goes a step further beyond this limit."

"Among a hundred Commanders, an Overlord-level powerhouse might not necessarily appear."

"Moreover, the higher a creature's potential, the higher the success probability of breaking through to Legendary."

"Overlord-level creatures have a probability of breaking through to Legendary that is more than 10% higher than Commander-level ones…"

A look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

This was the first time he had heard about this matter.

It turned out that increasing potential could also increase the probability of breaking through to Legendary.

No wonder the Dragon Speaker was so surprised.

But up until now, he had not yet touched the realm of Legendary, so he did not know what the conditions for breaking through to Legendary were.

But judging from the Dragon Speaker's reaction, the difficulty should be very high.

At the same time.

When all the staff of the entire territory had also come over.

Cao Xing turned his head and said, "Bing Lan, you wait aside for a moment."

"Before that, I want to summon a new batch of warriors over."

This woman's gaze was also withdrawn from Sarah's body, and then she stood silently aside.

As for Cao Xing, he took out all of the more than one thousand recruitment scrolls from his backpack.

Besides those Ascalon Warriors scrolls, there were also a few Dragon Blood Warrior recruitment scrolls just obtained from opening chests.

Then, he clicked to summon all of them.

In an instant! The recruitment scrolls in his hand vanished instantly.

Bursts of intense vibration instantly came from the sky overhead!

"Boom! Rumble!"

More than one thousand shooting stars streaked across the dark night sky!

Smashing in front of everyone like a meteor shower.

Starlight was brilliant, descending like an object from beyond the heavens.

Then, they transformed into Ascalon Warriors holding long swords and clad in standard battle armor one by one.

Beside them, there were also a few tall and straight Dragon Blood Warriors.

"The sunken glory still shines upon us!"

"Ascalon 7th Legion Warrior, reporting to you!"

Cao Xing slightly nodded, "Welcome, brave warriors from the Ascalon Kingdom."

"And the powerful Norn Clan!"

"No need to say extra words, in this territory, there are many of your kinsmen and former comrades-in-arms, they will show you around."

Hearing this, this group of newly summoned warriors looked around.

Their gazes instantly fell upon their companions.

Some of them even saw familiar faces among them!

An Ascalon Warrior respectfully said, "This powerful Lord, what you said is right, there are indeed many of our comrades-in-arms here."

"Unexpectedly, after so many years, we can meet again."

And the first batch of Ascalon Warriors also chuckled and said, "Clive, you brat have pretty good luck, coming to a good territory."

"That's right, remember to hang out with us from now on, and we'll continue to lead you into battle."

The faces of this group of newly recruited Ascalon Warriors all surfaced with smiles.

After all, after so many years, being able to meet comrades-in-arms who once fought side by side again is indeed a happy thing.

On the other side, the Dragon Blood Warriors looked at Commander Bo Jie in the crowd, and their hearts were similarly filled with a myriad of emotions.

Cao Xing smiled, "Alright, you guys will have time to catch up later."

"Now, all return to your ranks."

"Yes!"

The more than one thousand people summoned quickly returned to the ranks one after another.

With the addition of these people, the troop combat power in Cao Xing's territory can be said to have surged by a large margin once again!

However, what made Cao Xing even more interested was the newly activated thousand-person bond effect of this group of Ascalon Warriors.

He glanced at the attributes.

[Bond — Ascalon Warriors: When the number of warriors acting simultaneously exceeds 1000, the Morale Barrier effect will be triggered]

[Morale Barrier: During the fearless charge, a layer of Morale Barrier will be activated to block the enemy's ranged attack damage, capable of blocking a maximum of average warrior level * number of warriors * 10 points of damage.]

…

"Huh? This thousand-person bond is quite interesting, will it actually activate a large-scale ranged shield?"

"And the value looks very high, casually blocking hundreds of thousands of damage."

"In this way, during the charge, we don't have to worry about being interrupted by the enemy."

Cao Xing chuckled, feeling very satisfied at the same time.

Because in this way, the lethality caused by Ascalon Warriors on the battlefield will be elevated to another level.

Cao Xing looked at the others and continued, "In about two hours, we will enter that brand-new plane."

"Now, I will re-apply the blessing for everyone once again."

Liu Muxue asked softly with a look of doubt in her eyes.

"Axing, there are only two hours left, is there enough time for so many people?"

Cao Xing smiled, "Rest assured, there's enough time."

Words falling, he pulled out [Blessing Ring of Goddess Nesa (Legendary)] from his backpack.

The soft light instantly covered the entire territory!

…

…

[(Entering the Oracle Battlefield tomorrow!)]
