Chapter 136
“However, this time, that brat was absolutely unable to escape, he was doomed to die!”
His family exchanged glances, their faces showing signs of relief.
The beautiful woman nodded in agreement.
Then, somewhat hesitantly, she said, “Brother Long… although those hunters are very strong, I always feel like they have ill intentions…”
“And also, that black-robed priest, the way he looks at me is very strange…”
Fang Long’s expression stiffened.
He, too, noticed the black-robed priest’s blatant gaze when looking at Lan Qianqian.
However, they had to rely on his power for now, so they dared not act out.
Fang Long reluctantly comforted her with a few words, telling Lan Qianqian not to worry.
Then he silently waited.
A few minutes later, Fang Long received a message.
“Boss, the target has appeared, it’s definitely Cao Xing!”
“There is an elite level second-order archer beside him.”
Fang Long’s spirits lifted, and he quickly replied, “Good, just an elite archer, it shouldn’t be a big issue.”
“Next, you coordinate with those hunters, don’t worry about anything else, focus all efforts to take him down!”
The reply came, “Understood, boss, we’re moving immediately.”
After closing the private chat, Fang Long had an expectant expression on his face.
Then he waited for good news with his family.
However, it wasn’t long before Fang Long noticed that some avatars had dimmed in his friends list.
Fang Long’s expression changed suddenly.
“Damn it… could it be that something went wrong again this time?”
But then, on second thought, Fang Long breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s okay, just a few people died.”
“That brat is very strong, it’s normal for there to be some casualties.”
Fang Long comforted himself in this way.
But not long after.
When he saw more avatars dimming in his friends list one by one.
The survivors he sent out were mostly dead!
At that moment, Fang Long felt a chill abruptly rush to the top of his head!
“Damn it! What’s going on?”
“So many people went to assassinate Cao Xing, how could they fail?”
Fang Long’s family also noticed something was off about his status.
His mother asked, “Little Dragon, what happened?”
Fang Long did not speak, his face growing even more grim.
When he saw that everyone he had sent was annihilated, he clenched his fists tightly.
At that moment, Fang Long directly left the shelter and walked straight to the Lord’s Hut, pushing open the door.
Seeing Fang Long enter, the black-robed priest appeared impatient, “Didn’t I tell you? This place is our temporary office, you should keep to the rules.”
However, at this moment, Fang Long’s face was stone-cold as he said, “The assassination failed, our men were all annihilated!”
Hearing this, the black-robed priest’s expression changed.
“What did you say?”
…
Meanwhile, Cao Xing over here finished cleaning up the battlefield.
He picked up all the items dropped from the hunter bodies and survivors’ bodies.
Cao Xing accumulated:
[Coins] *2723
[Basic Power Hearts] *3
[Dark Night Knife (Blue)]
[Standard Machete (Green)] *7
[Standard Iron Bow (Green)] *4
[Damaged Wool Coat] *4
[Damaged Linen Robe] *7
[Soiled Hat] *8
[Dry Food] *241
Besides what the hunters dropped, which included some green weapons and three Basic Power Hearts.
Those survivors were all paupers.
Only a few sets of tattered clothes were stripped down.
Of course, this was probably because they stored their resources in the territory storage box.
Unless he found their territory later and looted their storage box.
At this time, Cao Xing remembered something.
“These guys mobilized their whole families just to kill me this time.”
“After I wiped them out, many territories have no leaders left and are in a masterless state.”
“If I can find these guys’ territories, I could not only loot their resources but also bring their Polar People over to increase my manpower!”
Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then had an idea in his mind.
So, Cao Xing looked at the few recruited creatures lying on the ground.
Originally eight were left, but due to excessive blood loss, two more died.
The remaining six were in a dying state.
Three Imperial soldiers, one Wild Boar Warrior, and two female mage apprentices.
Levels ranged from 5 to 8.
Cao Xing walked over and directly stated, “You just attempted to assassinate this Lord, so by the rules, I should kill you and hang your bodies in my territory as a warning to those restless folks.”
Hearing this, the Imperial soldiers were okay.
But the two female mages lying in a pool of blood struggled to lift their heads and asked, “Will you strip our clothes before hanging our bodies?”
Cao Xing’s actions were noticed by them, this was truly a ruthless lord who wouldn’t even spare the corpses!
Cao Xing nodded, “Of course, it’s the rules.”
Hearing this, the two female mages’ faces turned pale, and they were about to burst into tears from grievance.
They were merely apprentices from the Melando Mage Association, and they were quite young before entering the summon space.
A faint smile appeared at the corners of Cao Xing’s mouth.
Then he spoke, “However, I know you acted under your lord’s orders to make a move on me.”
“And I am a merciful lord.”
“So now, I’m willing to give you a choice, submit to me or perish.”
Hearing this, the six recruited creatures lying on the ground exchanged a glance, and then they responded without hesitation, “We are willing to submit to you, mighty Lord!”
