Chapter 1207: Chapter 420: First Foray into the Ancient Battlefield, Clues to Gray City!
Cao Xing glanced to the side and saw the two women who had already put on their mage robes. He chuckled lightly, "Aili, Hiluviya, you two continue your meditation."
The two women also draped their mage robes over their shoulders at this moment.
Their skin was as smooth as jade, and they sat cross-legged with their fair bodies.
After each gave the two mage girls a peck, they left the Mage Tower.
He glanced at the time; it was now around 11 PM.
"Time to get some rest."
So, Cao Xing returned to the Lord’s Hut.
Half an hour later.
Over there, Liu Muxue had almost finished bestowing new status skills on the newcomers.
The two of them embraced and drifted to sleep.
...
...
The next day, with the system prompt for the seventh day of the ’Zhuoma’s Claw’ challenge appearing.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue awoke punctually.
The beauty beside him rubbed her sleepy eyes and then said softly, "Today, shall we continue to rack up points?"
Cao Xing nodded with a smile.
This woman was really becoming a points-crazy fanatic.
Very soon, the two of them arrived outside the territory together.
Meanwhile, hundreds of combat personnel had already gathered.
Including the centaurs as well.
They all looked at Cao Xing with determined eyes, awaiting the next instruction from the Lord.
Cao Xing continued, "Now, still according to yesterday’s configuration, my wife, Commander Bojie, and Knight Assam will each lead a team!"
"Let’s begin splitting into teams now."
At his words, all the combat personnel started moving.
"Clatter! Clatter!"
Soon, they found their teams and stood respectively behind Liu Muxue, Bojie, and Assam.
Cao Xing said, "Today, my wife and Commander Bojie will continue to lead teams for the Zhuoma’s Claw challenge."
"Assam, you’ll lead all the knights to complete other tasks with me later."
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone began to take action,
Then, Liu Muxue and Bojie each led a team away from the territory.
While Assam silently awaited with another team nearby.
At the same time,
The sound of horse hooves "clop, clop, clop" echoed as Harati, the female centaur commander, stepped out with firm strides.
Even though they had gone through a difficult battle yesterday, it hadn’t dampened her battle intent in the slightest.
She solemnly said, "Lord, please assign today’s task to the centaurs!"
Cao Xing nodded slightly, then ordered,
"All centaurs, step forward."
At his words, the remaining 113 attacking centaurs all stepped forward.
"Now, all Gun Shield Cavalry, replace your broken shields and come to me to collect new ones!"
At this, Cao Xing took out all the [Barbarian Round Shields] from his bag.
Once the Gun Shield Cavalry replaced their old shields with the new ones, they regained their imposing presence.
Cao Xing continued to order, "Your task today is not to fight, but to help me find something."
At this statement, a look of confusion appeared in the eyes of all the centaurs present.
"I know centaurs excel at navigating rugged terrains."
"Next, I need you to go to the nearby mountains and help me locate the Griffins’ Nest."
"Any questions?"
Although Cao Xing had already tamed four griffins and could communicate with them to some extent,
whenever he tried to get them to tell him the nest’s location, the four griffins seemed resistant.
But this was understandable.
After all, their loyalty to their clan was unyielding.
Their inherent pride meant they’d rather die than betray their clan.
Thus, Cao Xing could only rely on the centaurs for this task.
When the time came, they would capture them all, and once it was a done deal, the griffins’ resistance would be futile.
Harati was the first to respond, "No problem, the centaurs will complete the task."
Cao Xing said, "Very well, I wish you all a safe journey."
Harati nodded solemnly and then turned around.
"Centaurs, follow me!"
"Clop, clop~ Clop, clop, clop..."
Soon, a group of centaurs galloped away from the territory.
Leaving behind only the Silver Hand Knight Legion led by Assam, and Sarah and others.
Just as Cao Xing was about to lead them to explore the Ancient Battlefield,
two figures slowly approached him from behind.
One was dressed in a black dress, alluring and captivating.
The other wore a white dress, yet still exuded the aura of an upper-class individual.
It was Marita and Princess Fran.
However, Princess Fran had re-donned her veil today, concealing her breathtaking beauty.
They came to Cao Xing’s side and greeted him softly.
"Good day, Lord Cao Xing, may the new day bring you wealth and honor."
Cao Xing responded with a light laugh, "Ladies, how are you feeling?"
Marita replied, "Thank you for asking, we’re feeling much better."
"That’s good to hear." A gentle smile appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
At this moment, Marita softly said, "Lord Cao Xing, we have come to say goodbye to you..."
Her tone carried a hint of reluctance and somberness.
Cao Xing was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood.
"Leaving so soon?"
Marita gently nodded, "Yes, we’ve already stayed in your territory for many days."
"If we have caused any inconvenience during this time, please forgive us."
Cao Xing waved his hand, "There’s been no trouble at all, you can stay as long as you like."
Marita’s eyes showed a touch of tenderness.
Beside her, Princess Fran said, "Lord Cao Xing, our main objective this time has been accomplished."
