Chapter 1568: Chapter 527: Deploying Troops and Assigning Personnel
Then, Cao Xing distributed 10 [long-distance communication devices] to each team, ensuring that several people in each team could receive his orders.
Even if one person lost contact, others could maintain communication.
Everyone knew how to use these communication devices and, after receiving them, promptly adjusted their channels.
Then they retreated back to the team to wait.
After arranging the combat personnel for these fourteen strongholds, Cao Xing still had many strong individuals and legions to deploy.
Apart from the Centaur Army still outside.
There were 300 Ascalon Soldiers in the territory, dozens of Level 7 Wandering Swordsmen, over a hundred Nightmare Archers, and more than seven hundred robots.
This is the power Cao Xing plans to use for defense.
With these warriors, coupled with those more than a hundred Ancient Trees, even in the face of large-scale enemy attacks, they could hold off for a long time.
Cao Xing said: "It will take two or three days to reach the location of the stronghold from here, so you’ll move out now."
"Remember to bring warm clothes and enough food."
"Yes!"
The fourteen Master-level experts in the field each led over a thousand combat personnel and quickly left.
After transporting some supplies, they each selected a Goblin Airship to enter.
Of course, the Silver Hand Knight Legion with Griffins didn’t need it.
After all, Griffins’ mobility is much faster than Goblin Airships.
"Whoosh~!"
A flapping sound arose, and the Griffins had already flown into the air, scouting the path ahead.
Then came the Goblin Airships.
"Buzzing!"
The propellers began to spin at high speed.
Thirteen Goblin Airships quickly flew into the sky and soon disappeared.
The departure of over a thousand people made the territory significantly emptier.
At the same time, Cao Xing’s gaze fell on those core combat personnel, stopping at the beautiful Witch.
"Franciska, you’ll also participate in the next action; don’t engage in alchemy these days."
The Witch placed a hand on her collar and slightly bowed, indicating she understood.
Then, Cao Xing began calling out names.
"Sarah, Assam, Andrew, Renice, Blom Iron Wall..."
The five people whose names were called stepped forward.
These five were the earliest group of creatures to join the territory, powerfully strong.
Counting the Witch Franciska, Liu Muxue, and Cao Xing, there were already 8 Master-level forces above Level 70 here.
Three are still needed.
This time, he promised the Old King to send eleven Masters, so naturally, he had to fulfill the promise.
Cao Xing looked at the crowd.
"Binglan, take your Giant Dragon. Isabell and Victoria will also come with me."
The three powerful women stepped forward together.
This way, the force Cao Xing plans to use against the Light Church Headquarters consists of nine Level 70 experts and three Level 8 or higher experts.
Adding Marlenina, who can be stored in the Necrotic Spirit Bag, and the Book of the Dead and Lizardman Statue in the backpack.
This power has reached a terrifying level!
Capable of easily destroying a legion of millions!
Yet, Cao Xing glanced at the remaining combat personnel and still felt insecure.
Even a lion uses all its strength to hunt a rabbit!
Of course, the force he brought was already enough; adding a few Leader-level creatures would not have much impact.
What he needs now are talents capable of performing special roles.
Then, he looked at the Tribal Witch Doctor - Morlog.
Though these Witch Doctors are not strong in combat, their skills are unique.
Especially his Elite Level skill - Soul Connection.
Under certain circumstances, it could produce unexpected effects.
"Morlog, you will also join the action,"
Upon hearing Cao Xing’s order, the old Witch Doctor was slightly surprised, not expecting that a Level 50 Leader could join such an important action.
But he still respectfully said: "At your command, great Lord."
"The spirit of the Black Teeth Tribe will continue in this territory."
Thus, the personnel for this operation had been determined.
And in the territory, many experts remained.
Little Chuchu, now Level 70; two Level 70 Wandering Swordsmen leaders; Giant Jode Iron Frost.
Plus Mammoth White and Frost Moose Little Blue, along with the three pets Wally Bell.
Additionally, there is Centaur Halarti and Shadow Assassin Heli, among other strong individuals.
With such power, as long as there are no Legendary Creatures, they can easily repel enemy attacks.
Cao Xing continued: "We’ll depart tomorrow."
"Once we leave, Halarti will be in charge of territory commands."
"Guardianship of the territory will be entrusted to the Wandering Swordsmen Zoke and Zofe."
"Giant Jode, you’ll take charge of guarding the territory."
The two Wandering Swordsmen leaders responded simultaneously.
"Understood/Okay, Lord!"
After instructing these people, Cao Xing turned his gaze to Tong Chuchu in the crowd.
"Little Chuchu, during this period, you and Heli take care of Eliza."
"If anything happens, remember to contact me immediately using the system function."
Tong Chuchu stepped forward, clenching her little fist, and said: "Okay, big brother!"
"I’ll take good care of Sister Eliza."
Cao Xing nodded slightly, confirming he hadn’t overlooked anything, then said directly: "Alright, everyone take a break for now; tomorrow I’ll gather you for action."
After all, Bojie and Hilda, it takes them three or four days just to travel.
They are going over early to wait there.
Only after everyone arrives at the destination can they act in unison, catching the Light Church off guard.
Everyone dispersed.
Cao Xing returned to the tavern, then arranged a resting room for General Kro.
The day passed without events.
Work in the territory went on as usual.
Dazhuang was already driving the transportation vehicle, taking over a hundred Goblins to the outdoor mine for extraction.
The morning passed swiftly.
In the afternoon, Halarti led the Centaur Army back to the territory.
Seeing a noticeable reduction in combat personnel in the territory, feeling a bit strange.
He then found Cao Xing and respectfully reported.
"Lord, we have already explored the Vara Ruins you mentioned."
"Inside is a Constant Gold Mine, with substantial reserves of Constant Gold, and deep underground, we saw many Demon Pattern Stones."
After Halarti reported, a smile appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
Constant Gold and Demon Pattern Stones are both rather important resources needed for many advanced constructions.
Including the [City Wall Reinforcement] function of the War Research Institute, requiring a lot of Constant Gold Ingots.
In terms of preciousness, they even surpass Mithril.
At this moment, Cao Xing sighed again.
The Shining Throne’s function remained immensely helpful, always uncovering advanced mineral veins.
But Halarti shifted tone, somewhat dejectedly saying: "However, there’s bad news, the ruins were occupied by a group of Undead, who seem unwilling to relinquish the mine."
Hearing this, Cao Xing questioned: "Undead?"
