At the same time, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue stood on the city wall together.

Then, he took out the new item he got today: the Ice Dragon Horn.

[Do you want to use the Ice Dragon Horn (Small)? ]

[After use, in the next 6 hours, ice nests within 30 kilometers will descend near your territory. ]

"yes."

Cao Xing clicked OK directly.

The next moment, Cao Xing heard a loud dragon roar!

"roar!!!"

The dragon's roar echoed throughout the entire territory and then quickly rushed into the dark night sky.

At the same time, the second system prompt appears.

【Please select the Ice Dragon Horn to increase the effect.】

[Option 1: Increase the material explosion rate and reduce the experience value. ]

[Option 2: Increase experience points and reduce material drop rate.]

Is there any need to think about this?

Cao Xing definitely chooses option one.

A quick calculation would reveal that the number of ice nests that would be dropped on his territory would be huge.

If they choose experience, their experience will be full in a short while.

If you reach the maximum level but don't have the heart for intermediate strength, you will have wasted this opportunity.

【Choose successfully, please prepare for battle. 】

Cao Xing took a deep breath.

At this moment, a message suddenly appeared in the chat channel of Area 174.

Regional Notice: "Survivor Lords: Cao Xing has used the Ice Dragon Horn (Small). For the next six hours, some territories will not be attacked by the Ice Nest. Please work together to arrange development time."

…

Seeing the information in the regional chat channel, the other survivors were shocked.

Ge Xiong: "Fuck! The system said that Boss Cao Xing used the Ice Dragon Horn. What is this?"

Tian Congyou: "I saw a big guy from the United States on the world channel launch it. It seems that it will make the ice nests within 30 kilometers around land in his territory."

Hearing this, the other survivors were even more shocked.

Chen Guo: "Oh my god...30 kilometers away, we must be facing dozens of ice nests at the same time. And if it lasts for six hours, how many hundreds of them will it be?"

Cheng Wenjun: "This is outrageous! We can barely handle a single ice nest, but Cao Xing is fighting hundreds of them alone!"

Gong Zhang: "Brothers near Boss Cao Xing's territory are in luck. There will be no trouble from Ice Nest Monsters for the next six hours. You must hurry up to collect resources and develop your territory."

The other survivors immediately realized something.

"Oh my god, that's right!"

"No wonder the system said that some lords should arrange their development time reasonably. So this is what it means."

"I hope that Boss Cao Xing's territory is near me. Damn it, I've been on guard against these ice nest monsters all day, and the resources in my territory are almost exhausted!"

"Haha, I also want to be near Boss Cao Xing's territory!"

…

At the same time.

After Cao Xing used the Ice Dragon Mark.

After a while, everyone saw two ice nests falling.

Boom! Boom!

The ground shook violently.

The location where these two ice nests fell is near Braum.

After a while, a dozen hyena-like ice nest monsters rushed out.

Bron laughed loudly and said, "New recruits, follow Bron!"

However, Braum only commanded 20 Ascalon soldiers and was unable to use the legion skill [Fearless Charge].

But there is the group blessing added by Liu Muxue and the queen's will of Hilda.

Their fighting ability is also very strong, and they can easily deal with these ice nest monsters.

Led by Braum, the soldiers soon came into contact with the Icebrood.

Then, they waved their standard weapons in an orderly manner.

Puff! Puff!

【-323】

【-344】

【-391】

【-530! 】

Such horrific damage is simply not something a first-level creature could inflict.

Their offensive power has been greatly enhanced, and it only takes two swords to kill an Icebrooder.

The soldiers were very excited.

"Gods, did I really cause this harm?"

"How terrifying! If we had the power of this lord five thousand years ago, Ascalon would have been able to rule the entire Western Continent!"

"That's right. I seem to see a great lord rising up. In the near future, his name will surely be known throughout the entire continent!"

The next moment, they chopped at the ice nest monster even more excitedly.

"Soldiers! Let us fight for this powerful new lord!"

"Charge!"

Bang! Snap!

One by one, the icebrood monsters were chopped into pieces by the soldiers' white short swords.

On Cao Xing's side, he also saw the kill information appearing continuously.

[Your territory member: Luigi killed the Icebrood monster level 7 and gained 14 experience points]

[Experience points gained by combatants: 7]

[Your territory member: Serad killed the Ice Nest Monster level 8, and gained experience points: 16]

[Experience points gained by combatants: 8]

【your……】

…

Because he chose to increase the material explosion rate, the experience value was reduced a lot.

But it's clearly worth it.

Cao Xing has seen that after the death of these ice nest monsters, many ice dragon marks have exploded on the ground!

The subjects also carefully clung to the city walls, watching the battle outside.

After seeing Braum and others kill the first wave of Ice Nest monsters so easily, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Their territory is as strong as ever!

But Cao Xing knew that these were just appetizers.

More Icebroods will follow.

Moreover, in order to maximize profits, Cao Xing did not destroy the ice nest and allowed it to hatch monsters.

That is to say, it won't be long before they are likely to face the impact of hundreds or even thousands of Icebrood monsters at the same time!

Sure enough, it was just as I expected.

Within a few minutes, two more ice nests fell down.

Boom!

This time, the place where it fell was where Renis was.

She also led the Ascalon soldiers to rush over immediately.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sharp arrows instantly exploded the ice nest monsters one by one.

Renis also launched a fierce attack.

Then after a few minutes, two or three more ice nests fell down and landed in different directions!

Boom! Boom!

The banging continued.

Everyone started fighting these icebrood monsters.

One hour later.

The number of ice nests that have fallen near Cao Xing’s territory has reached thirty-four!

Cao Xing nodded: "As expected, there are more than 30 territories nearby."

"That means I may have to bear the pressure of nearly 200 ice nests for six hours."

Cao Xing also made some calculations in his mind.

Two hundred ice nests, if we can maximize the benefits of each ice nest.

Then Cao Xing can kill 100,000 Ice Nest monsters this time!

This is a pretty scary number.

Of course, that's the calculation, but it's actually impossible to kill that many Icebrood monsters.

After all, there will be many changes on the battlefield, such as the physical exhaustion of combatants, the lack of mental strength of mages, and so on.

If the situation is critical.

Then Cao Xing would destroy those ice nests without hesitation to reduce the pressure on the combatants.

"BOOM! BOOM!"

As ice nests continue to fall, more and more ice nest monsters appear at the same time.

Three hours later.

There are more than a hundred ice nests outside Cao Xing’s territory!

In each wave, there are at least one or two thousand Ice Nest monsters attacking the city at the same time.

“Roar! Roar!”

The monster's roar continued.

If the other survivors saw this scene, they would probably be scared to death!

With so many Icebrood monsters, they can easily flatten the territories of the survivors.

However, Cao Xing's five generals were dealing with the large number of ice nest monsters in an orderly manner.

Cao Xing also stood on the city wall, commanding them using a small communication device.

"Braum, retreat 100 meters and pull the Icebrood into the attack range of the Elemental Arrow Tower to fight!"

"Andrew, don't rush too hard. Three waves of icebrood monsters have appeared near you."

"Rainis, the health of three of your soldiers is low. Let them retreat to my side and I will heal them."

As Cao Xing issued orders one by one.

The entire battlefield is still in a controllable state.

At this moment, a white light appeared on Cao Xing's body again.

[Your level has been upgraded, current level: Level 16]

[This upgrade gains: Strength +2, Agility +2, Spirit +8, Constitution +4]

Cao Xing's eyes showed joy, "Another upgrade!"

Although the experience gained from killing Icebrood monsters is very low, there are so many of them!

At this rate, I can reach level 17 or 18 at least.

However, three hours of continuous high-intensity fighting has made people somewhat exhausted.

Andrew and the others were fine, after all, they were all second-tier boss-level creatures.

And those soldiers were beginning to feel unable to hold on any longer.

The movement of raising the long sword was a little slow, and the reaction was also slow.

At this moment, Elisa was holding a triple sniper rifle, continuously killing the invading monsters.

The other archers were running out of arrows in their quivers and could only stand on the watchtower and stare blankly.

Cao Xing frowned, "Sure enough, am I thinking too simply?

"After all, a real battlefield is not like a game where soldiers can fight non-stop."

He was only commanding more than a hundred people to fight, but he already felt the complexity of war.

After holding out for another half an hour, Cao Xing gave the order: "All Ascalon soldiers, retreat and rest!"

"Sarah, Hilda, follow me out, form an assault team, kill the icebrood monsters behind, and help Assam and the others share the pressure!"

After hearing Cao Xing's order, all the Ascalon soldiers retreated in an orderly manner.

Without the support of these soldiers, Assam, Andrew and others would have to face the attack of at least hundreds of ice nest monsters alone.

Even though they were second-tier boss-level creatures, they suddenly felt the pressure surge.

The next moment, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue jumped directly onto Dabai's back.

"Charge!"

Sarah and Hilda had also appeared beside him.

As the only two leader-level creatures under Cao Xing, their individual combat capabilities are very strong.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Big White moved its strong and powerful elephant hooves and ran wildly in the snow.

The ground shook!

The people were standing on the city wall, looking outside nervously.

As a third-level boss, Dabai rushed directly into the group of monsters and started rushing all the way!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Every Ice Nest monster that touches Dabai is like paper and breaks into pieces at the first touch!

【-2032】

【-2194】

【-2081】

【-1983】

Horrifying damage numbers rose one after another, and large numbers of Ice Nest monsters died on the spot.

It was like a sharp knife that stabbed into the interior of the Ice Nest Monster, forcing its way through the monster horde.

After Cao Xing and Liu Muxue arrived behind the ice nest monster, they jumped directly off the mammoth's back.

Then, a demonic energy emanated from his body.

Cao Xing's body quickly grew taller, his limbs became more slender, he had curved horns on his head, and a pair of majestic wings grew behind his back.

A faint black aura continued to emanate from his body.

At this moment, it was like an elegant demon suddenly appeared in the snow, directly attracting the attention of all the people in the territory.

San Zhuang exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my God, is that the Lord?"

"How did he become like this!?"

Da Zhuang next to him slapped him in the face and said, "What are you talking about!"

"My Lord, this is called strength. I feel that in this form, my Lord is full of power!"

After being slapped, San Zhuang looked at him aggrievedly, "Da Zhuang, you really know how to talk."

Including the tree spirit sisters and other residents, all set their sights on Cao Xing.

At this moment, Cao Xing, who has entered the [Devil Transformation] state, directly activates his ultimate skill - Soul Withering!

Cao Xing slowly raised his slender hands.

Then, with him as the center, a black flame suddenly rose up within 500 meters around him!

Hundreds of ice nest monsters were completely and directly engulfed by this flame!

And when Cao Xing clenched his fists.

The next moment.

The black flame burned instantly.

"Boom!"

A long string of densely packed damage numbers appeared.

【-673】

【-631】

【-712】

【-1214! 】

【-621】

【……】

With just the first wave of flames, more than half of the ice nest monsters were killed!

However, [Soul Withering] has four levels of damage.

Boom!

The second paragraph of damage surges.

Before the last two stages of damage could be inflicted, hundreds of Ice Nest monsters were instantly killed on the spot.

The entire battlefield was cleared in an instant!

The dozens of citizens who were watching the battle from the city wall were completely stagnant.

"Mother Earth Goddess! Is this the real power of the Lord? It's terrifying!"

"Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen the Lord show his strength. Now I know that the Lord is so powerful!"

San Zhuang on the side also said excitedly: "Da Zhuang, you are right, the Lord's current form is full of power!"

There is no doubt that Cao Xing's outburst was the most shocking in terms of visual impact.

Killing hundreds of Icebrood monsters in one move is something that even a level 3 boss like Sarah can't do.

At this time, Cao Xing suddenly heard a series of system prompts.

[Because you have shown great strength! Your territory member: Duan is impressed by your strength and his loyalty has been further improved. Current loyalty: 85]

[Because you have shown great strength! Your territory member: Blitz is impressed by your strength and his loyalty has been further improved. Current loyalty: 92]

[Because of you...]

After hundreds of reminders, the loyalty of almost all the people in the territory has been improved again.

Even the newly joined Harold and the giant Putana have increased their loyalty to over 70!

Not only that.

Cao Xing also heard a system prompt.

[Because you are the first lord in the server to have 100 subjects with a loyalty of more than 80! Your territory has been given a special title: Land of Glory. ]

[Land of Glory: A territory filled with glory. When you go out to defend the territory, the morale of all combatants will increase significantly, and the critical hit rate will increase by 50%!]

(Title introduction: Having a group of strong and loyal subordinates is important, but the power that the lord himself possesses can impress the people even more.)

…

Cao Xing was delighted. "Oh my god, the Land of Glory? Critical hit rate increased by 50%."

"This is too fierce!"

You know, Blot's Resonance Totem already adds 20% to the critical hit rate, and now it adds another 50%!

In other words, every subsequent attack by Cao Xing and others will most likely result in a critical hit (critical hit damage is 150%), causing a dramatic increase in damage!

At the same time, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel happy again in his heart.

As expected, there is no harm in showing off my great strength to these subjects.

This time, he won another powerful title.

But the only pity is that this effect only takes effect when defending territory.

In other words, this amplification effect will only occur when other forces attack the territory.

At the same time.

Sarah and Hilda were also beside Cao Xing, helping him deal with the ice nest monsters that rushed over.

Cao Xing took a look and ordered, "Sarah, I can handle this, you go support Assam."

"Hilda, go support Renesse."

Hilda said disdainfully: "Tsk! If I hadn't lost my original power, I would have killed as many of these fish monsters as I could!"

Cao Xing said speechlessly: "Okay, I know you were once very strong, go to work first."

Hilda stretched out her eight slender legs and rushed quickly through the snow.

Cao Xing continued to stay where he was and deal with the ice nest monsters in the area.

With the protection of the powerful knight Liu Muxue, he didn't need to worry about being attacked.

All you need to do is keep throwing out the Fire of Evil and bombard those Ice Nest monsters.

Anyway, he can now enter the devil transformation state infinitely.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The fire of evil thoughts keeps exploding!

【-973! 】

【-1031! 】

【-652】

【-984! 】

Horrible injury figures kept rising.

The 50% critical hit rate bonus is really powerful!

Groups of ice nest monsters were killed instantly by him.

There was a cruel smile on Cao Xing's face.

This feeling of mowing the lawn without any double is really cool!

He and Liu Muxue alone can hold one position.

And five minutes later.

Cao Xing suddenly felt a dizzy feeling coming over his head.

He held his head and quickly suppressed the smile on his face.

"Damn... the demonic transformation is very powerful, but the mental energy consumed is also terrifying."

"It's only been five minutes and I feel like I'm running out of energy."

I glanced at the Moonlight Dew in my backpack.

Only 6 drops left.

Then, Cao Xing took out the Moon Condensation Flower Dew and drank a drop.

A cool breath rushed to his head, making him full of energy again.

The next moment, Cao Xing raised his hands and began to throw out the fire of evil thoughts again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Cao Xing just stood there, transformed into a human bomber!

Half an hour later.

A white light appeared on Cao Xing's body again.

[Your level has been upgraded, current level: Level 17]

[Attributes improved from this upgrade: Strength +3, Agility +2, Spirit +6, Constitution +4]

"Wuhu, cool!"
