Server-wide announcement! Special title rewards. (5200)

Meanwhile, Cao Xing was deep in thought.

He didn't seem to expect that that secret room had already been preempted by a Survivor half a month ago.

But judging by the current situation, their strength was not enough to deal with the monsters inside the tomb, leading to a tragic end.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "The Tyrant series is a Level 70 Epic equipment set."

"The trial in that tomb must not be simple; the difficulty is definitely very high."

"However, Assam is now a Tier 8 hero, coupled with the assistance of a legendary weapon and mount, passing the trial should not be difficult."

Thinking of this, he felt relieved.

A moment later, the crackling sound of current came to his ears again.

This time, the message came from Renice's side.

"Lord, I am Renice."

"Now I am reporting to you the situation I encountered in that forest."

"Renice, go ahead."

After a slight pause, the deep voice of the Ascalon archer came to his ears again.

"Yesterday afternoon, I already made contact with the elves of that tribe."

"They were very resistant, treated me as an enemy, and attacked me, and then a small-scale conflict broke out."

"However, this Ancient Elf tribe is not very strong, and these elves were quickly routed by me."

"Then, I took out the letter and told them about the Ancient Tree of Knowledge in our territory, sincerely inviting them to join."

"Upon hearing about the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, these elves seemed a bit tempted."

"The elf chieftain of this tribe said that it is okay for them to join your territory, but the premise is that we need to help them deal with a giant snake in the forest."

A look of confusion appeared in Cao Xing's eyes, and then he asked, "A giant snake? Do you know what its strength is?"

Renice replied after a brief pause, "Its exact strength is not clear."

"However, they said that giant snake snatched their tribe's holy artifact. If I can defeat that giant snake and return the holy artifact to the Ancient Elf clan—"

"—then they are willing to come back to the territory with me."

Cao Xing thought for a moment and replied, "I see. You first find the location of that giant snake, and then see if you can deal with it based on the opponent's strength."

"Remember to act within your capacity. If the enemy is too strong, retreat immediately and notify me. You mustn't push yourself, understand?"

"Understood, Lord!"

Soon, both sides hung up the communication.

A smile curled up on Cao Xing's lips once more.

Right now, Assam was undergoing the trial, and Renice's side had also made progress.

The stubborn Ancient Elf group even made a compromise.

As long as their holy artifact is retrieved, negotiations can be conducted.

Looking at it this way, things are developing in a good direction!

Thinking to himself, Cao Xing had already arrived at the territory's tavern area.

General Krol, having eaten and drunk his fill, led people out of the tavern.

His face was flushed, and he carried a wave of strong alcohol as he spoke: "Lord Cao Xing, thank you for your hospitality,

My brothers and I had a hearty drink, and we haven't had this much fun in a long time!"

Behind him, those captains also laughed, "Indeed, as expected of the fine wine that General Krol couldn't stop praising; it's truly wonderful!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "You are all too polite. If you like it, I can bring some more for you the next time I go to the royal palace."

On the field, the eyes of these officers lit up, and they seemed tempted!

However, although Krol had drunk a lot of alcohol, he still maintained a clear mind at this moment and said with a smile:

"That won't be necessary, Lord Cao Xing."

"Drinking alcohol ruins matters, and we can only indulge ourselves this time while going out."

"If His Majesty finds out that we were drinking in the royal palace, we will be punished!"

Krol rejected Cao Xing's suggestion, and a hint of regret appeared on the faces of the other captains.

But they also knew that Krol's proposal was the right one.

Cao Xing smiled, "I see. Then we can only wait until you all have free time next time to visit my territory as guests."

Krol cupped his hands, "Lord Cao Xing, I won't disturb you any further now. I also need to go back and report my mission."

"Alright, I won't see you off."

With that, Krol led the other captains into the teleportation array.

Cao Xing watched them leave until the figures of this group of kingdom generals and captains completely dissipated.

Then, he turned around and shouted:

"All combat personnel, assemble!"

In an instant! The over two thousand combat personnel in the entire territory all stopped what they were doing.

They walked out from the training grounds, Mage Towers, or Knight Halls, and gathered towards the center of the territory.

Then, according to their troop types, they neatly arranged their formations.

Nearly two thousand combat personnel looked at their lord with firm gazes!

Cao Xing didn't speak. First, he took out Balthazar's Deity Altar.

Then, he took out crowns, mithril, and elemental crystals from his backpack and placed them on the ground.

A total of more than 2 billion crowns, plus hundreds of thousands of mithril—just looking at it was quite astonishing!

Amidst the surprised gazes of those combat personnel,

Cao Xing first took out all the food in his backpack, piling it into a mountain of grain.

There were only 8 million units of food here, still lacking about 4 million units.

Therefore, Cao Xing said, "Sizhuang, lead all the workers to the underground warehouse and move another one million kilograms of food up."

One kilogram of food equals 5 units, which was completely enough.

Last time in the various strongholds of the Church of Light, a lot of food was obtained, so the reserves in Cao Xing's territory were still relatively abundant.

After receiving the order, the Arctic Person Sizhuang quickly started action.

He led nearly a thousand workers in the territory to head to the basement.

Like marching ants, bags of food were carried on their shoulders by them, and then neatly and orderly piled together.

Not long after, a total of more than 2 million kilograms of grain were all placed on the ground, like a giant mountain.

This batch of food was a lot, really a lot!

Especially in such a resource-barren world, food was an even scarcer resource.

But exchanging it for more than a thousand people to break through to Master was still very worthwhile.

At the same time, the warriors on the field saw these massive resources on the ground, and their eyes had long since widened, staring fixedly at that altar.

They also realized that their lord was going to help them break through again!

And they were now at Level 50 max level!

Breaking through again, what would it be?

Obviously, it would be Tier 6!

Thinking that they were about to become Tier 6 powerhouses, these warriors felt extremely excited.

In the gazes looking towards their lord, a look of fanaticism appeared!

After all, that was Tier 6!

Powerhouses that even a kingdom didn't have many of, a height they couldn't hope to reach in their previous lives.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Well, everyone knows now."

"Next, I will first let all the warriors in the territory break through to Tier 6."

"As for the others who haven't broken through, don't worry, it will be your turn later too."

"So now, are you all ready?"

All the warriors shouted in unison, "Ready, respected Lord!!!"

"Very good."

With those words, Cao Xing directly clicked the breakthrough function of the altar.

[Whether to consume: 2.55 billion crowns, 12.75 million food to make 1,275 Level 50 warriors break through to Tier 6?]

"Yes!"

The next moment, bursts of red mist condensed from Balthazar's Deity Altar.

This mist began to gradually spread, devouring all the crowns, food, and mithril on the ground.

As more and more resources were devoured, the scale of the blood mist grew larger and larger, reaching an unprecedented scale in an instant.

"Clatter~!"

The blood mist turned into a pillar of blood soaring into the sky.

Then it split into more than a thousand small pillars of blood, falling onto those warriors!

In an instant, these warriors felt a scorching power appear within their bodies!

This power was gradually remaking their bodies, making them even more powerful.

Bursts of powerful auras rose up!

[Your territory member: Yaskin has successfully broken through to a Tier 6 Boss-level creature, basic attributes increased by 100%, HP additionally increased by 100%, abnormal status resistance +50%, prosperity +15 (Tier 5 boss = 10 prosperity)]

[Your territory member—]

Over a thousand system prompts sounded.

This also meant that Cao Xing possessed over a thousand Master-level powerhouses!

A smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his lips.

"Finally, another goal originally envisioned has been completed!"

"With my current territory strength, it's enough to go toe-to-toe with a million-strong legion!"

And what was the concept of a million-strong legion?

A few days ago in the border region, the forces prepared by the Ice Crystal Kingdom to counter the Velen Kingdom were about this much.

In other words, if Cao Xing's side went all out, they could even slaughter the border army!

Of course, a million troops was definitely only a part of a kingdom's power.

After all, their territorial scope is too vast.

The border isn't just in one place either.

Many areas have a large number of troops left behind by the Ice Crystal Kingdom stationed there, along with a large number of siege engines, advanced artillery, and other instruments of war.

When a kingdom enters a state of war, its full mobilization remains very powerful.

However, this still cannot deny that Cao Xing's territory's strength has reached a fairly formidable level.

And besides the territory's strength, what skyrocketed along with it was also his territory's prosperity!

On the Prosperity Leaderboard, the numbers behind Cao Xing almost began a crazy soaring process [7342]

[7682]

[8156]

[8794]

In the blink of an eye, it broke through nine thousand!

Some Survivors had just clicked on the [Four Districts Prosperity Leaderboard], and then noticed this astonishing scene.

They all widened their eyes, watching the changes on the leaderboard!

Until a moment later, Cao Xing's prosperity finally stopped jumping.

And in the eyes of these Survivors, an expression of extreme shock had already appeared!

[Four Districts Prosperity Leaderboard]

[First Place: Cao Xing, Territory Prosperity: 11574]

[Second Place: Wei Jianyi, Territory Prosperity: 1846]

[Third Place: Bai Zhi, Territory Prosperity: 1638]

[Fourth Place: Cheng Lu, Territory Prosperity: 1142]

[Fifth Place: Valls Bolt, Territory Prosperity: 1078]

[Sixth Place—]

Looking at his prosperity breaking ten thousand, this group of Survivors even rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen wrong.

After confirming it was real, everyone took a deep breath!

Then they couldn't wait to share in the chat channel.

"Brothers, go look at the Prosperity Leaderboard quickly, Great Lord Cao Xing has made another big move, it's simply too abnormal!"

Hearing this, doubt appeared in the eyes of the other Survivors.

Although they didn't know what happened, since it was related to this number one person of the four districts, it also attracted the attention of quite a few people.

Thus, they opened the leaderboard one after another!

Similarly, upon seeing that exaggerated number, an expression of shock appeared on everyone's faces.

"It's truly outrageous—the prosperity actually broke straight through to ten thousand, this damn thing is almost widening the gap with the 2nd place by five or six times!"

"Yeah, ever since the Battle of the Oracle ended, almost every once in a while, we can see Great Lord Cao Xing's prosperity skyrocket by a huge margin, I really don't know how he does it."

"The most outrageous thing is that Great Lord Cao Xing hasn't even created a legion yet. In other words, he relied solely on his own territory's strength to step by step widen the gap with other legions."

When they realized this, the look of shock in the Survivors' eyes became even more intense.

Before they could react, a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of all Survivors,

[Server-wide Announcement: Attention all Survivors, Four Districts Survivor lord: Cao Xing, territory prosperity has broken ten thousand!]

[As the server's first territory whose prosperity has broken ten thousand, let us congratulate this lord for reaching a higher level of strength!]

This time, it wasn't a regional announcement, but a server-wide announcement!

In other words, the remaining more than two billion Survivors around the world all saw this prompt and saw that man's name.

In an instant! The entire world chat channel set off a huge uproar!

Vladimir: "Oh! This Cao Xing's territory prosperity has already broken ten thousand? Is he a monster!?"

Prakash: "This is impossible! The number one lord of our India Region has a territory prosperity that just broke 1500, how did he manage to break ten thousand?"

Fujikawa Ritsuko: "As expected of Senior Cao Xing! Last time in the Battle of the Oracle he slaughtered us until we fled in disarray, and in the blink of an eye after returning, he has broken through to ten thousand prosperity!"

Liu Deng: "Great Lord Cao Xing is awesome!"

For the vast majority of Survivors, the name Cao Xing can be said to be a household name.

After all, during the server-wide live broadcast of the previous Battle of the Oracle, he completely stole the spotlight.

However, everyone knew he was very strong.

But unexpectedly, not only did he become the existence whose prosperity broke ten thousand first in the entire server, but he actually triggered a server-wide announcement!

This simply exceeded everyone's expectations.

Among the top Survivor lords around the world, there was no shortage of Survivors with special opportunities similar to Wei Jianyi and Bai Zhi and others.

There were even some Survivors whose luck exploded, acquiring a few [Master-level Heart of Power], and sprinting to the Master realm.

However, their territory prosperity was only around 1,500 to 1,600.

Now that this system announcement came out, they realized just how huge the gap between themselves and Cao Xing was.

After all, everyone knows that as territory development reaches later stages, if one doesn't develop territory culture, agriculture, or animal husbandry, the growth of prosperity will become slower and slower.

Yet he seemed to have no bottlenecks, advancing triumphantly all the way; this momentum was simply despair-inducing!

At the same time, Cao Xing also heard a special prompt.

[Because you are the first Survivor lord in the entire server whose territory prosperity has broken ten thousand, you will receive a special reward!]

[Obtained title: Herald of the Apocalypse, obtained Divine Power Shard * 3]

Seeing this prompt, a smile once again surfaced on Cao Xing's face.

"Not bad, not bad, another 3 Divine Power Shards were given. This stuff is precisely the resource I need most right now."

Compared to the last prosperity settlement, his territory prosperity was just over two thousand.

Now, it directly broke through to eleven thousand, increasing by nearly four to five times.

After all, during this period of time, his entire territory's strength had been skyrocketing at a rapid pace,

In addition to the improvement in the soldiers' strength, the mechanical factory also produced several hundred robots and over a hundred Tier-5 Ancient Trees.

Plus a large number of elites, bosses, and even Commander-level Blood Spider and so on.

That's why the prosperity increased so rapidly!

Tian Jing, Liu Muxue, Tong Chuchu, and other Survivors nearby all saw this system prompt with a look of worship in their eyes!

Especially Tian Jing, who said excitedly: "Boss! You are simply too fierce!"

"You actually became the first lord in the entire server to break ten thousand prosperity."

"The first Survivor in history to be announced server-wide, isn't that too cool?"

Cao Xing wore a faint smile on his face.

In fact, back when he dealt with the Zorma Behemoth and completed the world's first kill, he had already triggered a world announcement.

But back then his strength wasn't strong enough, and there was still a Seed of Light staring at him, so he didn't let the system make it public.

But things are different now; currently, the Seed of Light has been wiped out by him, and the remaining enemies are the Watchers,

Therefore, there is no need to continue keeping a low profile.

Coupled with the fact that this reward was quite good, it made Cao Xing's mood even better.

Then, he glanced at the title's attributes.

[Herald of the Apocalypse (Special Title)]

[Title Attributes: Attack +3000, Armor +1000, Critical Rate +10%]

[Title Effect: Herald of the Apocalypse (When you lead 100 Survivors into battle, all Survivors will gain a 10% increase in attributes.

When leading 1,000 Survivors into battle, all Survivors will gain a 20% increase in all attributes.

When leading 10,000 Survivors into battle, all Survivors will gain a 50% increase in all attributes.

When leading 100,000 Survivors into battle, all Survivors and subordinate subjects will trigger the 'Apocalypse Homecoming' effect!)]

(Apocalypse Homecoming: Revives with full HP once after death!)

(Title Introduction: As a powerhouse among Survivors, you are capable of shouldering the corresponding responsibility; you will lead the last Survivors to fight desperately in desperate straits, preserving the last spark of fire for all mankind!)

Seeing the attributes of this title, a thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Is this actually a title that only takes effect when leading other Survivors into battle?"

"However, this attribute is really abnormal enough. Not only can it increase all attributes by up to 50%, but it can even revive their subordinate combat personnel with full HP once."

Of course, under normal circumstances, Cao Xing wouldn't lead this group of Survivors into battle, so the subsequent effects are basically useless.

But the bonus attributes of this title are very good, after all, it has a full 3000 points of attack and 1000 points of armor bonus!

It's roughly equivalent to the basic enhancement of half a legendary piece of equipment.

With satisfaction, he equipped it.

At the same time, the chat channel triggered a large amount of discussion among Survivors because of his server-wide announcement.

At this moment, it was still crazily scrolling the screen.

At this moment, it seemed as if Cao Xing remembered something.

"Next, I am preparing to create a legion."

"I can just use this wave of heat to promote it and attract a batch of experts over!"
