Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Cao Xing looked at the damaged ground in the territory, and the few collapsed lighthouses and watchtowers.

It seemed that the creatures in the fog were quite angry, but due to certain rule restrictions, they couldn’t forcibly enter the rooms and could only target the constructions within the territory.

Luckily, everyone stayed obediently inside the rooms, without suffering any harm.

Cao Xing took a deep breath, then said in a deep voice: “All gather.”

Upon hearing Cao Xing’s order, thousands of people in the territory came over.

They assembled in about three minutes.

Cao Xing didn’t speak; instead, he glanced through the crowd.

The eleven-day Fog Disaster did not take away anyone from the territory.

This made him feel very satisfied.

“Very good, everyone has once again overcome a difficult situation together.”

Upon hearing these words, the elder Cao Yi was the first to say: “The All Gods will protect this sacred land, Lord.”

Other staff closed their eyes one after another, conducting earnest prayers.

For them, surviving each Heavenly Calamity feels like a rebirth, akin to living anew.

Each face held a divine glow.

After a moment, Cao Xing said, “Starting today, the work in the territory returns to normal.”

“Cao Yi, you lead the staff to continue upgrading the walls and constructing the Arrow Towers.”

“Du An, you lead a portion of the Polar People to repair these damaged grounds and the collapsed Arrow Towers, Watchtowers.”

“Dazhuang, you lead all Goblin Labor to the Magic Energy Crystal Ore dozens of kilometers away to collect more resources, and I will send a few Centaurs to protect you.”

“Other staff, everything goes on as usual.”

Hundreds of staff on the field immediately shouted back loudly.

“Understood! Great Lord!”

After saying that, they dispersed according to their respective teams.

More than two thousand combat personnel remained in place.

Having rested for eleven days, everyone was fully equipped and eagerly wishing to engage in battle.

Cao Xing commanded: “Today, Commander Bojie, and Xiao, you each lead a legion to tackle those enhanced Ice Nest Monsters.”

“Others, continue strengthening patrols around the territory!”

“Yes!”

People scattered individually.

Including those core combat personnel, they also dispersed.

At this moment, Cao Xing walked to the buffer zone of the territory, came beneath those collapsed Arrow Towers, and conducted some research.

He squatted down and carefully inspected.

Underneath these fallen buildings, there were pools of black-purple marks,

as if something had been crushed when falling, leaving marks from bursts of fluid.

The bases of those Arrow Towers bore dense small teeth marks, as if crazily gnawed by a swarm of creatures, making one’s scalp tingle.

Cao Xing showed a contemplative expression: “So, the creatures in the fog, similar to the noises we heard, are small but highly aggressive beings.”

“And there are many of them!”

Of course, these are just Cao Xing’s guesses, since no one has actually seen the monsters in the fog.

After a moment, he shook his head, “Forget it, no need to overthink, what I need to do now is develop the territory and enhance its strength.”

“Hopefully, when the next Fog Disaster arrives, we will possess enough strength to protect ourselves!”

“If that guy dares to target my territory members again, even if it’s a Divine, I will make him pay!”

Cold intent appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.

“Now, let’s go and use the Tavern’s recruitment and Shining Throne together.”

Soon, he arrived near the territory tavern, then used the recruitment function which activates every three days.

[Recruitment successful, recruitment information has been sent to creatures within 150 kilometers of the territory…]

…

It’s worth noting that as his Reputation Value increases, the tavern’s recruitment range has surged from the original 50 kilometers to 150 kilometers.

Now each time the recruitment function is used, many newcomers typically join.

Then, Cao Xing proceeded to the Lord Castle, using the ’Shining New Star’ special effect on the [Shining Throne].

“Buzz!”

A beam of light swiftly charged thousands of meters into the sky, landing towards a certain southwest area.

On the now-normal map, an area of darkness was rapidly illuminated.

Cao Xing glanced at it; this area was called [Vara Ruins], approximately seventy to eighty kilometers from the territory.

The usual practice, he summoned Half-man centaur Halarti, delegating the probing task to this Saint.

Halarti pressed her right hand on her chest armor, covering her fair chest, then slightly bowed.

“The Centaurs will complete your command, respected Lord.”

Then, she took hold of the Chang Gong, gathered a hundred Centaurs, and left the territory.

The sound of ’clip-clop’ hoofbeats gradually faded.

…

After Halarti’s departure, Cao Xing took out the [Tyrant’s Skull (Orange)], glanced at the location marked as [Lloyd’s Tomb].

Upon entering the coordinates into the map, the map’s positioning changed again, revealing a dim area above.

It’s surprising upon inspection!

This area is astonishingly over five thousand kilometers away from him!

It’s already beyond the territory extent of the Ice Crystal Kingdom.

“Wow, so far?”

“Unless riding the Griffin King, otherwise just traveling would take two to three days!”

Just as Cao Xing planned to dispatch Assam to explore the area, he discovered something unusual.
