"Well done, Kandal, Kantel, you've worked hard." Cao Xing praised.

The two Centaurs looked serious and were about to say it was not hard.

Cao Xing said, "In order to reward your performance, I decided to give Kanter elite-level power as well."

After saying that, Cao Xing threw an elite soul to Kantel.

As for Kandal, he had already upgraded to an elite creature two days ago, so there was no need to give him anything more.

Kanter stretched out his hands and took it with excitement on his face.

"Thank you, strong and generous lord!"

"May the glory of Father Mordel protect you!"

A system prompt appears.

[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of territory member Kanter has increased. Current loyalty: 93]

Not only Kantel, but hundreds of citizens present, including the newcomers, felt the powerful force contained in this soul.

Then, under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, Kandal directly slapped the soul into his body.

Not long after, a powerful aura rose from his body!

A system prompt appears.

[Your territory member: Kanter successfully upgraded to an elite creature, all attributes increased by 30%, learned a new skill, Skull Shatter Throw]

Since the advancement paths of the two Centaurs are the same, the skills they learn are also the same.

At this moment, Kanter looked at his chest muscles and arms that had become stronger and said excitedly: "Oh! This feels really good!"

"I've become stronger!"

Kantar next to him was also excited: "Yes, Kantar, you have become stronger, as strong as me!"

They seemed very happy.

The other residents also looked at Kantor with envy and respect!

In this world, whoever has power has everything!

Especially the group of newly joined imperial soldiers and wild boar warriors, all of them had strong desire in their eyes.

Cao Xing looked at this group of newcomers and found that their levels had improved a lot.

I flipped through the battle information.

It was discovered that the boar warrior Blitz, and the mage apprentices Ellie and Sylvia had all reached level 10.

However, the levels of several imperial soldiers were still a little short, having just reached level 9.

Yesterday, they followed the two centaurs to fight outside and gained a lot of experience.

After reaching level 10, you can use the Heart of Power to advance and become a powerful second-level warrior.

So, Cao Xing shouted, "Blitz, Ellie, Sylvia, come here."

The boar warrior Blitz walked over quickly, then knelt on one knee and said, "My powerful lord, you called me?"

Cao Xing nodded.

As for Ellie and Sylvia, they held their wooden canes and looked at Cao Xing cautiously.

Especially Ellie, the timid mage apprentice, still seemed a little afraid of Cao Xing.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work last night."

"In view of your good performance, I have also decided to reward you."

Hearing the word "reward", the three of them raised their heads.

Blitz's eyes lit up. He had just seen with his own eyes that Cao Xing gave the Centaur a soul, which greatly increased the Centaur's strength.

Including Ellie and Sylvia, there was anticipation in their eyes.

Cao Xing did not keep them in suspense and directly took out three primary hearts of power from his backpack and gave them to them one by one.

The three of them felt the powerful force contained in the red crystal in their hands.

Their pupils suddenly contracted.

You know, although the two Centaurs were very strict with them, behind this strictness was rapid growth.

This is evident from the fact that they advanced three or four levels in just one day!

The Centaurs also explained to them that the reason they were able to upgrade so quickly was because of Cao Xing's power.

In fact, even without any rewards, just the speed of becoming stronger is enough to satisfy them.

However, now, Cao Xing actually gave them the precious Heart of Power.

For a moment, the three of them were moved.

The boar warrior immediately knelt on one knee, "God of Beasts, you are worthy of being my recognized lord. Blitz really did not follow the wrong person!"

Another mage apprentice, Sylvia, also said with a touching look on her face: "Thank you, respected lord."

After saying that, she tugged at the corner of Ellie's clothes.

Then, timid Ellie also said timidly.

"Thank you... Thank you... Lord..."

Three system prompts appear.

[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of your territory member: Blitz Reiner has increased. Current loyalty: 85]

[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of your territory member: Sylvia has increased. Current loyalty: 84]

[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of your territory member: Ellie has increased. Current loyalty: 87]

…

What surprised Cao Xing was that the most timid Ai Li had the highest loyalty.

Looking at her delicate appearance, Cao Xing nodded.

"Okay, next you guys should use the Heart of Power to break through."

The three of them nodded, and then, under the envious gazes of the other citizens, they simultaneously smashed the Heart of Power and absorbed the energy contained within.

After a moment, a powerful force rose from their bodies.

Three system prompts for successful advancement appear!

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the imperial soldiers beside him and encouraged them, "Those of you who haven't made a breakthrough, don't worry."

"After a while, I will find the heart of power for you all to break through."

Hearing this, several imperial soldiers, including several imperial archers, all knelt on one knee.

They said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord. We are willing to give everything for the development of the territory!"

A system prompt appears.

[Because of your words, the loyalty of your territory member: Lajid has been increased. Current loyalty: 78]

[Because of your words, your territory members...]

After four or five prompts in a row, the loyalty of these newcomers increased by 3 to 5 points.

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips because his strategy of drawing a big pie was effective again.

The eyes of the leaders such as Da Zhuang and Du An were also filled with enthusiasm.

This is also Cao Xing's purpose.

Give them the impression that as long as they make contributions to the territory, they will be commended or even rewarded by the lord.

This way, they will have a stronger sense of belonging to the territory and work harder.

Cao Xing looked at his backpack and found that all five Hearts of Power had been distributed.

Yesterday's harvest has almost been consumed.

The strength of the entire territory has skyrocketed.

With the strength of these subjects, the so-called Ice Nest no longer poses any threat to Cao Xing.

A happy smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Of course, he also knew that it was only the eve of the expansion pack's launch.

And these ice nests are the power of the dragon.

According to the tree spirits, the ancient dragons possessed combat power comparable to that of true gods.

In a rage, he can destroy an entire continent!

Therefore, Cao Xing still cannot take it lightly.

At this time, little Elisa came out from the crowd, "My Lord, my Lord, Elisa wants one too!"

Cao Xing was stunned and looked at the petite archer.

Elisa changed her outfit today. She was wearing a white light armor that she had stolen from somewhere, and she also had a small wooden bow on her back.

You know what, he really has a heroic and refreshing temperament.

However, her cute round face does not match the outfit at all.

Take a look at her attributes.

【Ice Archer: Elisa】

[Level: Level 7 3124/7000 (First-level ordinary creature)]

[HP: 580/580]

[Attack power: 57~61 (weapon bonus)]

[Attributes: Strength 25, Agility 27, Spirit 20, Constitution 29]

[Skill: Frost Arrow (Concentrates the power of frost and shoots an arrow filled with frost, causing 112% damage to the enemy, and has a 50% chance of slowing the enemy down, with a cooldown of 15 seconds)

Breath of Frost (Ice Archers comprehend the power of frost, are more adaptable to extremely low temperature environments, and can fight in the wild for a longer time)]

【Talent: None】

【Hunger level: 71】

【Loyalty: 84】

…

Before leaving yesterday, Cao Xing trained the five tree elves and Elisa into frost archers.

After one day, all the training was completed.

However, Elisa's attributes can only be described as average.

After all, it is just an ordinary creature, and Cao Xing can't ask for too much.

Looking at Elisa's longing eyes, Cao Xing did not give her the elite soul.

The impression he had just left on these subjects could not be broken so quickly.

So, Cao Xing said, "Elisa, you have to know that there are many people before you who have contributed a lot to the territory, and they need rewards more than you do."

"You have only been in the territory for a short time. You still need some time to gain experience."

"I can only reward you if you contribute to the territory, understand?"

After Elisa heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on her cute little face, and then she nodded and said, "My Lord, I understand!"

"I will fight hard and become a strong warrior!"

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, saying that this boy is teachable.

At this moment, Elisa looked at Cao Xing cautiously, and then asked tentatively: "That... handsome and powerful lord..."

"Although you can't give me a reward now, can you agree to another request from Elisa?"

Seeing her embarrassed look, Cao Xing instinctively felt that something bad was going to happen.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

After hearing this, Elisa was immediately excited and said, "That's it... just let me be the captain of the Frost Archer Squad!"

"How about letting me lead the other archers in battle?"

Cao Xing was immediately delighted when he heard this.

He didn't expect that this little girl wanted to lead a team.

However, the battlefield is not a game of house. You must have command ability and sufficient prestige to make others obey your orders.

Then, Cao Xing looked at the other five tree spirits.

"Do you think Elisa can be the captain?"

"Or, if you have any opinions, you can tell me."

The five tree elves touched their heads sheepishly and looked at Elisa with a bit of awe in their eyes.

"We have no objection, your Excellency."

"Captain Elisa... Captain Elisa is very capable. We are willing to let her lead us in battle."

Seeing this scene, a strange smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

It seems that little Elisa has already dealt with these dryads.

This little girl is really capable.

So he nodded and said, "In that case, I agree to your request."

Elisa jumped up excitedly, "Great!"

"My Lord, I love you!"

[Because you have fulfilled the request, the loyalty of your territory member: Elisa has been increased. The current loyalty is 88]

…

Cao Xing was speechless. "Go ahead and take your archer team to train!"

"As you command, Lord!"

Then, Elisa straightened up like a proud peacock and took her younger brothers to training.

Cao Xing looked at the leader Cao Yi.

He already knew yesterday that the resources in the territory were about to run out.

Wood, stone, and iron are running low.

So today's mission is to resume resource mining.

So, Cao Xing asked, "Cao Yi, how many sections of railroad tracks are there in our territory?"

Citizen Cao Yihui reported: "Your Excellency, we have consumed a large amount of iron in the past few days and have produced tens of thousands of rails, enough to build more than ten kilometers of railway."

Hearing this number, Cao Xing nodded secretly.

This way, mining can be carried out in more distant areas.

Moreover, with so many railroad tracks, it is even possible to build multiple railways and mine them simultaneously.

Cao Xing looked at Blot again, "Blot, have you explored all the resource points within a five-kilometer area around our territory?"

The Shari shaman nodded and said, "My Lord, the investigation has been completed."

"Within five kilometers, there are two small forests, three small coal mines, two medium-sized iron mines, and one medium-sized copper mine."

"However, these resource points are inhabited by monsters, so I didn't rashly disturb them."

Cao Xing nodded, "Very good."

"Blot, your mission today is to escort some of our subjects to the resource point with Asam, Kantel, and Kandar and eliminate the monsters inside."

After hearing this, Blot immediately straightened his face and said, "I will follow your orders!"

The two centaurs also said excitedly: "Haha! Kandal is going to show off his skills today!"

"Cantor wants one too!"

After saying that, they led a group of polar people and walked out of the territory.

Cao Xing continued, "Cao Yi, you will still be in charge of the Tree Spirits today. Your mission is to build a rail system to connect the resource points captured by our warriors to the territory."

The lord Cao Yi also said respectfully, "As you command, Lord."

Then, the leader Cao Yi also led a group of tree spirits out of the territory.

Cao Xing looked at Duan beside him again.

"Duan, the rest of the polar people are under your command."

"Today's first task is to build a primary alchemy workshop and a primary mechanical factory, and then continue to lay the brick floor of our territory and build a magic water storage device for our room."

"Oh, and the Ascalon Training Barracks has also been built."

The polar man Duan has the talent of [Enthusiasm and Inspiration], so he builds things very efficiently.

This is also the reason why Cao Xing kept him.

Duan swung the hammer in his hand, and a resolute look appeared on his resolute face.

"Yes! Dear Lord, I will complete the task you ordered!"

This group of polar people dispersed again, and Cao Xing continued to give orders.

"Dahua, I bought a batch of vegetable seeds yesterday. Let's see if we can plant them first."

"If there aren't enough greenhouses, notify Duan and the others to build new ones."

Dahua, who had a mature appearance, also came over and nodded respectfully.

As Cao Xing issued orders one by one.

Soon, everyone had something to do.

As for Cao Xing himself, he felt a little bored.

He is not going out today because he has nothing to do.

The only pressing issue at the moment is the moses grass that the Yuncai cattle need to eat.

But Cao Xing had no idea about this thing.

And according to Old Mel, there are still six days before the next time the Yuncai calf eats moses grass, so there is no rush.

As for Bingluanhua, Cao Xing didn't quite trust Qiu Yating.

So he specifically instructed Renis to go to the Witch Forest today to investigate the situation.

Once Renis comes back, Cao Xing can set off.

Two hours passed in a flash...

Boom! Boom!

Outside the territory, there were crashing sounds every once in a while.

Cao Xing made a summary of the time spent during these two hours.

There were two ice nests that fell near his territory.

That is to say, an ice nest will fall every hour.

Compared to yesterday when an ice nest would drop every few hours, the frequency of ice nests dropping today has indeed increased a lot.

At this rate, the survivors have to fight against the ice nest and collect resources at the same time, so time is very tight.

However, Cao Xing had too many fighters under him.

Ellie and Sylvia have been upgraded to level 2, and with their buffs, they are able to easily deal with the Ice Nest.

The other fighters, Hilda and Ilena, didn't even have anything to do.

Cao Xing walked around the territory.

Liu Muxue, on the other hand, was teasing the little bear cub Wally with Tong Chuchu.

This little bear cub couldn't open its eyes when it was first brought home, but now it can walk like a child.

The growth rate is still very fast.

At this moment——

Elisa trotted over to Cao Xing and said breathlessly, "Lord...Lord..."

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Cao Xing glanced at her speechlessly and said, "What's the matter? Please speak slowly."

Elisa took a few breaths and said, "Two people are coming outside the territory!"

"They said they heard that our territory was recruiting new people."

After hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh? Looks like yesterday's tavern recruitment was effective!

"Take me there, little Elisa."

"Uh-huh."

Elisa turned and broke into a trot again.

Cao Xing followed her and soon arrived in front of one of the iron gates.

Standing on the city wall and looking out.

As expected, two figures appeared in the snow outside the territory.

The leader was a woman with a strong body like a bull.

My goodness, that height must be at least two meters!

To be honest, this was the first time Cao Xing saw a woman so tall.

Her strong physique, bulging muscles, and the huge axe on her shoulders make her look intimidating!

Next to her was a bearded dwarf.

That bearded dwarf looks like a polar man, but he is one of the great tribes in this world.

A pure dwarf race.

Cao Xing quickly scanned their attributes...
