At this time, the two survivors asked: "Master Cao...Master Cao Xing..."

"We have told you what you wanted to know, can you please let us go?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Okay."

There was a strong sense of joy in the eyes of the two survivors.

And at this moment.

A flash of cold light passed across their necks.

【-2054】

【-2175】

The two men's heads tilted and they died instantly.

Cao Xing looked at the pile of corpses on the street, and several imperial soldiers and imperial archers who were beaten half to death.

The ground was stained red with blood, and several houses on both sides were destroyed.

Fortunately, no casualties were caused to the ordinary villagers.

Cao Xing said, "Asam, Renis, clean up the battlefield."

…

…

A few minutes ago.

A few dozen kilometers away from Hogg Village, in a snowy field, lies a survivors' camp.

Fang Long and his family were in the territory hut, looking respectfully at a ranger in a black robe and a mask on his face.

The attitude is very humble.

Fang Long smiled and said, "My Lord Priest, you have seen my territory. What do you think?"

The black-robed priest nodded and said, "Not bad, you are worthy of being the Chosen Lord. This is a good hiding spot. The soldiers of those kingdoms will basically not come here to search."

"Well, as agreed, I will send my assassins to deal with that kid."

"And your territory will serve as a base for our Church of Light to ensure that our position will not be exposed."

At this point, the black-robed priest's tone turned a little cold and he said, "If you dare to betray the Church of Light, I think you should know the consequences. When the time comes, you will ask me to kill you!"

After hearing the last sentence, Fang Long and his family shuddered.

But he quickly put on a smile and nodded respectfully, "Don't worry, Master Priest. Now that I have joined the Church of Light, I will definitely serve the church wholeheartedly."

The black-robed priest nodded and said, "Then you can leave. This hut will be our temporary base from now on."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Priest."

Fang Long brought his family and respectfully left the lord's cottage.

No one could have imagined that these rangers would be so cunning as to use the survivors' territory as a hiding place.

However, before they were about to leave, the black-robed priest stopped his gaze on the beautiful woman next to Fang Long.

This woman is Fang Long’s wife, her name is Lan Qianqian.

In Hong Kong, she is considered one of the more famous beauties.

Although her looks are not as good as those of the top ten goddesses such as Liu Muxue and Yan Jingwei, she is still a very eye-catching presence among ordinary people.

At this time, Lan Qianqian had two ponytails and light makeup on her face, and her big, twinkling eyes looked very innocent.

And under the wolfskin coat is a pair of beautiful legs in fishing net stockings.

It gives people a pure and sexy style.

For these indigenous people, this was a woman they had never seen before.

The black-robed priest suddenly said, "Wait a moment."

Fang Long and the others stopped and asked, "What's the matter, Master Priest?"

"Is this woman your wife?"

Fang Long nodded, "Yes, sir."

The black-robed priest did not say anything, but looked at Lan Qianqian with a scrutinizing gaze, his eyes revealing a look of interest.

Lan Qianqian felt a little uncomfortable under his naked gaze.

Fang Long was too scared to even breathe for a moment.

After a moment, the black-robed priest chuckled and said, "It's okay, you can go first."

Fang Long and others felt relieved.

At the same time, Fang Long had brought his family to a nearby shelter.

The beautiful woman next to him asked softly, "Brother Long... are we really going to give our territory to these guys? I heard that they are a group of cultists and the whole kingdom is looking for them..."

"If we are exposed...will we be implicated?"

Fang Long chuckled and said, "Qianqian, you don't understand."

"After today, we will be released from the novice protection mode, and the development from now on will be much more difficult than it is now."

"Although this group of hunters are crazy and evil, they are powerful enough, and their members are spread all over the Ice Kingdom."

"We can definitely use their strength to quickly develop our territory."

"Then we can use our advantages to harvest other players. Once we reach a certain level of strength, we can report these guys to the Ice Crystal Kingdom. It's like having the best of both worlds."

After hearing this, Fang Long's parents and the beautiful woman beside them all had a look of realization in their eyes.

And there was admiration in the look he gave Fang Long.

"Brother Long, you are amazing. You can actually think of this method!"

The middle-aged man next to him also exclaimed: "He is worthy of being my son!"

Fang Long had a smile on his face and seemed to be enjoying his family's admiration very much.

The beautiful woman continued softly, "Brother Long, I heard that you sent someone to kill Cao Xing today?"

"He's already the highest-ranking person in District 174, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Fang Long smiled and said, "What could go wrong?"

"This time, in order to show their sincerity in cooperation, the group of rangers actually sent out more than a dozen second-level rangers and three third-level killers at once!"

"Tsk tsk! I am so greedy! I wish I had this power!"

"With this force, when the novice protection period ends tomorrow, I can destroy all the survivor camps within a few dozen kilometers and force them to join our Three Heroes Association."

"Then I'll continue to expand from here. It won't be long before I have the final say over the entire 174th District!"

Fang Long had a strong yearning in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head, as he knew this was not very realistic.

"But this time, that brat will definitely not be able to escape, he is dead!"

His family members looked at each other and a look of relief appeared on their faces.

The beautiful woman also nodded.

Then he said hesitantly: "Brother Long... although these rangers are very strong, I always feel that they have some bad intentions..."

"Also, that black-robed priest looked at me in a strange way..."

Fang Long's face froze.

He also noticed the naked look in the black-robed priest's eyes when he looked at Lan Qianqian.

But now they still have to rely on the help of others, and they dare not get angry.

Fang Long reluctantly said a few words of comfort, telling Lan Qianqian not to worry.

Then just wait silently.

A few minutes later, Fang Long received a message.

"Boss, the target has appeared, it's Cao Xing for sure!"

"There is an elite second-level archer beside him."

Fang Long's expression suddenly brightened up, and he quickly replied: "Very good, it's just an elite archer, it's not a big problem."

"Next, you guys cooperate with the group of rangers. Don't worry about anything else. Just go all out and kill him!"

The other party replied: "Got it, Boss, we will take action immediately."

After closing the private chat, Fang Long had an expectant expression on his face.

Then I waited for good news with my family.

However, not long after, Fang Long noticed again that the avatars in the friend list had dimmed a few notches.

Fang Long's expression suddenly changed.

"Damn it...Isn't it going to go wrong again this time?"

After thinking about it, Fang Long breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, only a few people died."

"That guy is very strong, so it's normal for him to have some casualties."

Fang Long comforted himself in this way.

But it didn't take long.

He saw that the avatars in his friend list dimmed one by one.

Most of the survivors he sent out have died!

At this moment, Fang Long only felt a chill rushing to his head!

"Damn it! What's going on?"

"With so many people trying to assassinate Cao Xing, how could they fail?"

Fang Long's family also noticed that something was wrong with him.

His mother asked, "Xiaolong, what happened?"

Fang Long didn't say anything, but his face became even more gloomy.

When he saw that the people he sent out were completely wiped out, he clenched his fists even harder.

At this moment, Fang Long walked out of the shelter, went straight to the lord's hut, and pushed open the door.

Seeing Fang Long coming in, the black-robed priest looked impatient, "Didn't I tell you? This place will be our temporary office from now on. You have to understand the rules."

However, Fang Long said with a sullen face: "The assassination attempt failed, all our men were wiped out!"

Hearing this, the black-robed priest's face changed.

"What did you say?"

…

At the same time, Cao Xing also cleaned up the battlefield.

Pick up all the items that exploded from the bodies of the rangers and survivors.

Cao Xing has accumulated:

【Coin】*2723

【Primary Power Heart】*3

[Dagger of the Dark Night (Blue)]

【Standard machete (green)】*7

【Standard Iron Bow (Green)】*4

【Damaged wool coat】*4

[Damaged Linen Cloth] *7

[Dirty hat] *8

【Dry food】*241

In addition to the group of rangers, there were also some green weapons and three primary hearts of power.

Those who survived are poor people.

He took off a few tattered clothes.

Of course, this may be because they put all their resources in the territory storage box.

Unless we find their territory later and loot their storage boxes.

At this time, Cao Xing remembered something.

"These guys brought their families with them this time in order to kill me."

"After I wiped them out, many territories no longer have any lords and are now ownerless."

"If I can find the territory of these guys, not only can I plunder their territory for supplies, but I can also bring all their polar people here to increase my manpower!"

Cao Xing thought for a moment and came up with an idea.

So, Cao Xing looked at the several recruited creatures lying on the ground.

Originally eight people were left, but two more died due to excessive blood loss.

The remaining six were also in a dying state.

Three Imperial soldiers, a boar warrior, and two female mage apprentices.

The level is between 5 and 8.

Cao Xing walked over and said directly: "You just tried to assassinate me, so according to the rules, I will kill you and hang your bodies in my territory to warn those restless guys."

After hearing this, the imperial soldiers were fine.

The two female mages lying in a pool of blood raised their heads with difficulty and asked, "Will you...will you take off our clothes before hanging our bodies?"

They saw what Cao Xing did just now. He was truly a cruel lord who didn't even let go of the corpses!

Cao Xing nodded, "Of course, this is the rule."

After hearing this, the two female wizards turned pale with fright and felt so wronged that they almost cried.

They were just apprentices of the Melando Mage Guild, and they were not very old before entering the summoning space.

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

Then he said, "But I know that you attacked me because you were ordered by your lord."

"And I am a merciful lord."

"So now, I am willing to give you a choice, surrender to me, or die."

Hearing this, the six recruited creatures lying on the ground looked at each other, and then they responded without hesitation: "We are willing to submit to you, the powerful lord!"

They were just ordinary creatures, and these survivors didn't stand much of a chance.

Unlike Cao Xing, who raised Assam from an ordinary creature to a boss level.

Therefore, their loyalty is not very high.

You know, even if the loyalty reaches 100, as long as the lord dies, the recruited creatures under him will surrender for survival.

Unless you are a die-hard fan like Assam.

In this way, even if the lord dies, Assam will fight to the end for the territory.

Cao Xing sent out recruitment invitations to all of them.

A system prompt appears.

[Khaishan Empire soldiers: Zhantoro/Rakid/Yusef have joined your territory, territory population +3]

[Wild Boar Tribe Warrior: Blitz Reiner has joined your territory. Territory population +1]

[Melandru Mages Association: Sylvia/Aili has joined your territory, territory population +2]

…

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Liu Muxue: "Muxue, cast the Holy Healing Technique on them."

Liu Muxue walked over, raised the silver sword, and shot out beams of holy light energy.

At the same time, Cao Xing also raised his staff and cast [Ice Therapy] on them one by one.

These dying recruited creatures gradually recovered.

At the same time.

After seeing that the battle here was over, the militiamen from Hog Village walked over cautiously.

"Sir?"

"What...what happened?"

The militia captain looked at Cao Xing and asked cautiously.

Cao Xing turned around, cleared his throat, and then said righteously: "Everyone, you have seen it, these are rangers, those crazy guys."

"The others are also heretics of the Church of Light!"

"They tried to assassinate me, but my powerful men killed them all!"

"This evil church must be exterminated by everyone!"

Cao Xing seemed very angry.

No matter what the reason behind the matter is, it is always right to put yourself on the side of justice.

The villagers naturally knew the vicious reputation of the rangers.

They did see the guys' iconic masks on the ground.

One by one, the villagers recovered from their previous panic and looked excited.

The rangers that had frightened them before were all killed by this lord.

This shows how powerful the opponent is!

"My Lord, your power is comparable to that of the Empire's Earth Knights!"

"Yes, you are ridding the people of harm!"

"The goddess of order will bless you..."

When the group of militiamen looked at Cao Xing, there was admiration on their faces.

A system prompt appears.

[You killed a group of rangers. The villagers of Hog Village witnessed your heroic deeds. The favorability of Hog Village has increased. Current status: Friendly]

(Note: After improving the favorability between forces, you will have a greater chance of triggering special tasks for that force, and when recruiting in the tavern, you will also have a higher chance of recruiting special personnel.)

Seeing the prompt, Cao Xing was delighted.

I didn't expect that this could also improve the favorability of the faction.

The villagers didn't know the truth behind it. They only knew that it was this young lord who killed those crazy guys.

Of course, if Cao Xing hadn’t said that, the matter might have remained unresolved, and it might even have caused the villagers to fear him.

The world seems to be becoming more and more interesting, and his different actions can bring different impacts.

Cao Xing's mouth curled up slightly.

At the same time, an elderly man who looked about the same age as old Mel walked over quickly.

He seemed very prestigious, and the villagers and militiamen who were watching actually took the initiative to make a path for him.

Cao Xing took a look at his attributes.

[Hogg Village Chief: Maldo Shak lv5]

[Level: Level 1 Ordinary Creature]

[HP: 280/280]

【Attack power: 24~27】

[Skills: Elementary Management, Erudition]

【Talent: None】

…

This is the village chief.

He was already alarmed when the battle began.

However, because the battle scene between Cao Xing and others was too terrifying, the village chief, who was only level 5, didn't dare to get close at all.

It was not until the battle was over that the village chief dared to come to Cao Xing.

He also heard what Cao Xing said, so he asked in a low voice: "My Lord... why did this group of crazy cultists target you?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "It's a long story. It's probably because I saved a few innocent people from their hands, so they are keeping me in their thoughts."

He made up an excuse.

The mayor of Hogg Village showed a look of realization on his face.

"So that's how it is. This lord looks so young, but he has a kind heart and great strength. Your fame will surely spread throughout the Snowstorm Plains in the near future!"

At this moment, all the militiamen in Hoge Village looked at Cao Xing with respect.

However, the two female mages behind Cao Xing curled their lips.

In their impression, Cao Xing is not kind at all.

He killed so many people in one breath without even blinking an eye.

They also stripped their clothes off and hung their bodies on pillars.

How cruel!

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Village Chief, I'll have to trouble you to deal with these corpses."

The head of Hogg Village waved his hands and said, "No trouble, no trouble..."

"If it weren't for this warrior, we wouldn't have known so many rangers had sneaked into Hog Village."

"It's just a piece of cake. If you have anything else to do, we in Hog ​​Village will definitely help you to the best of our ability."

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Come to think of it, I do need the village chief's help with something..."
