Chapter 137
They were just ordinary creatures, and these survivors did not have much opportunity.
Unlike Cao Xing, who had nurtured Assam from an ordinary creature to a boss level.
Therefore, their loyalty was not very high.
You must know, even if loyalty reached 100, as long as the lord died, the recruited creatures would submit for survival.
Unless they were like Assam, reaching the level of deadly loyalty.
In this way, even if the lord died, Assam would fight for the territory to the end.
Cao Xing extended a recruitment invitation to all of them.
The system prompt appeared.
[Kaisan Empire Soldier: Jentoro/Lakid/Yousef, joined your territory, territory population +3]
[Wild Boar Tribe Warrior: Blitz Reina, joined your territory, territory population +1]
[Melando Mage Association: Xiluoya/Aili, joined your territory, territory population +2]
…
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, then said to Liu Muxue, “Muxue, cast the Holy Healing Skill on them.”
Liu Muxue came over, raised the silver longsword, and streaks of Holy Light Energy shot out.
At the same time, Cao Xing also raised the magic wand and cast [Ice Healing Skill] on them.
These dying recruited creatures gradually recovered.
Meanwhile.
The militia from Hog Village, seeing the battle over, cautiously approached.
“My… my lord?”
“What… what happened?”
The militia captain looked at Cao Xing and cautiously asked.
Cao Xing turned around, cleared his throat, and righteously declared, “Everyone, you all saw, these are hunters, that group of crazy guys.”
“The others are also cultists of the Bright Church!”
“They attempted to assassinate me, their lord, but my powerful subordinates defeated them all!”
“Such an evil church, everyone should be ready to destroy it!”
Cao Xing appeared extremely indignant.
No matter the reason behind the events, it was always right to align oneself with justice from the start.
The villagers naturally knew of the infamous hunters.
They also truly saw those distinctive masks on the ground.
The villagers, one by one, came out of their previous panic, looking extremely excited.
The hunters who once made them tremble with fear were all slain by this lord.
This showed just how formidable their strength was!
“This lord, your strength rivals the Empire’s Earth Knight!”
“Indeed, you are eliminating evil for the people!”
“The Order Goddess will bless you…”
The group of militia looked at Cao Xing with admiration on their faces.
A system prompt appeared.
[You killed a group of hunters, Hog Village villagers witnessed your heroic deeds, Hog Village goodwill has increased, current status: Friendly]
(Note: After improving the favorability between factions, you will have a greater chance of triggering special missions from that faction, and when recruiting in the tavern, there will be a higher chance of recruiting special personnel.)
Seeing the prompt, Cao Xing felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Unexpectedly, this could also increase faction favorability.
These villagers did not know the truth behind the scenes. They only knew that this young lord had taken down that group of crazy people.
Of course, if it weren’t for Cao Xing’s remarks, it might not have gone smoothly, or even instilled fear in the villagers towards him.
This world seemed increasingly interesting, with different actions bringing different effects.
Cao Xing’s lips curved into a slight smile.
Meanwhile, an elderly man who looked about the same age as Old Mel quickly walked over.
He appeared very prestigious, as the surrounding villagers and militia actually made way for him.
Cao Xing glanced at his attributes.
[Hog Village Chief: Mordo Shaker lv5]
[Rank: First-tier Ordinary Creature]
[Life Value: 280/280]
[Attack Power: 24~27]
[Skill: Basic Management Skill, Polymath]
[Talent: None]
…
This was the village chief.
He had been alarmed when the battle started.
But because the sight of Cao Xing and the others fighting was too terrifying, this level 5 village chief didn’t dare to approach.
It was only when the battle ended that the village chief dared to come close to Cao Xing.
He had also heard Cao Xing’s words, so he asked softly, “Lord… why did this group of frenzied cultists target you?”
Cao Xing shook his head and said, “It’s a long story. Probably because I saved a few innocents from them, so they took notice of me.”
He casually made up an excuse.
A look of realization appeared on the village chief’s face.
“I see, this lord appears so young, yet possesses a benevolent heart and formidable strength. Your fame will surely spread across the entire Gale Snow Plain before long!”
At this moment, all the militia of Hog Village looked at Cao Xing with reverence in their eyes.
However, the two female mages behind Cao Xing pursed their lips.
In their impression, Cao Xing wasn’t benevolent at all.
He killed so many people without blinking an eye.
He even wanted to strip their clothes and hang the bodies on pillars.
Too cruel!
Cao Xing smiled, then said, “Chief, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to handle these bodies.”
The Hog Village chief quickly waved his hand, saying, “It’s no trouble at all, no trouble at all…”
“If it weren’t for this warrior, we wouldn’t even know so many hunters had infiltrated Hog Village.”
“This is just a small effort. If there is anything else, Hog Village will surely offer all the help we can provide.”
Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded, “Come to think of it, I do have something that needs the chief’s help…”
