Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1927: Chapter 645: Balancing Grace and Might, Red Gold Essence

"You go to the ancient battlefield, using force to compel the undead to submit."

"You demanded benefits from the Sword Saint’s shadow during the Sword Saint inheritance."

"You were at the Eternal Frost Main City..."

Liu Muxue recited each of the deeds he had done.

Even Cao Xing’s eyes showed a confused expression.

Could it be... I’ve really changed?

Her voice continued, gentle with a hint of heartache.

"In order to strengthen yourself quickly, you’ve somewhat forgotten your true principles."

"Including the negotiation with the Demon Lord, it was the same."

"Maybe you didn’t realize it yourself, but as someone who is always by your side, I’m very aware."

"But I know, it’s in order for everyone to survive the impending disaster."

"For more survivors from Blue Star to live."

"That’s why I never dared to speak up, only silently supporting you from the side..."

"Now, it’s finally coming to an end... You can finally be yourself..."

Saying this, Liu Muxue’s voice carried a tinge of tears.

At this moment, Cao Xing opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything.

His lips twisted with a hint of bitterness.

Liu Muxue was right; the Bloody Army had always been a heavy burden on Cao Xing’s heart.

For over two months, upon learning that these monsters would make a comeback, Cao Xing began a series of preparedness measures.

Including the Battle of the Oracle, raiding the Bright Church camp, threatening the Demon Lord, all to gain stronger power.

Even Cao Xing felt that his personality had changed in these months.

He became more opportunistic, somewhat unscrupulous in pursuit of power.

But unfortunately, the enemy’s strength was too formidable, no matter how hard he tried, he always felt just short.

Though he’s not a Saint, he wants more people, especially survivors from Blue Star to survive.

Cao Xing looked at Liu Muxue, and his eyes revealed a sense of emotion.

Indeed, the one who knows him best is his partner who shares life day and night.

Moments later, he looked up and smiled, "The Watcher Leader and the Blood Commander haven’t been dealt with yet, so saying the Blood Chaos has ended is premature."

Liu Muxue was just about to speak.

Cao Xing interrupted, "But... from now on, I’ll also try to keep myself less stressed."

Hearing this, the beauty’s face once again showed a smile.

She then nodded solemnly.

A few minutes later, the two pushed open the doors of the Lord Castle together.

"Whoosh—"

A gust of cold wind instantly blew over, mixed with snowflakes scattering in the sky, striking their faces with some pain.

It’s been snowing intermittently for days, the surrounding snow in the territory has piled up to nearly a meter, able to bury a person.

Yet, even in such a snowy day, many workers have risen early and entered their work state.

After the events of last night, they all knew that the Lord is well aware of their whereabouts and work status.

If anyone is being lazy, they will be driven away!

So, those who remain cherish the opportunity now, working very diligently.

Even mining robots have gone early to the outside of the territory to start clearing snow, connecting resource points to the territory’s roads.

"Not bad."

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, this is exactly the effect he wanted.

Of course, this is not exploiting the workers.

With the infrastructure in Cao Xing’s domain, as long as they’re in the territory, the Energy Tower will continuously emit heat, evenly providing heat for every corner.

Then, he patrolled the territory while checking his war achievements on the panel.

[War Merit*167 million]

"Only 170 million? I still need quite a bit to exchange for that legendary-level defense tower blueprint."

"Fighting another day today, conservatively estimated, I can earn forty million war merits, reaching two hundred million easily."

"Then, I can use the excess war merits to exchange for the skill level emblem..."

However, with victory in sight.

Cao Xing’s heart remained shrouded in a cloud.

After all — no matter how many Transmission Pillars he destroys, or how many Blood Soldiers he takes down.

As long as the Watcher Leader and the Blood Commander, those two demigod-level powerhouses remain alive, the expansion still isn’t over.

"These two are indeed significant threats, must find a way to resolve..."

"But it’s almost time, Muxue’s level has reached 129, with 21 levels to go, she’ll reach full level, and then she can advance to the demigod realm."

"Once Liu Muxue becomes a demigod, I won’t be afraid of these two anymore."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing’s eyes gradually showed a hint of expectation.

Of course, the closer to the decisive moment, the more vigilant one must be.

So, Cao Xing pressed the communication device by his ear and asked, "Isabell, report your location."

"Ziz... Ziz..."

The sound of electricity buzzed.

Moments later, the soft voice of the Holy Light Priest echoed.

"Lord, we have reached the Kunade Kingdom’s territory."

"There are still six Blood Transmission Pillars here, the last two are in an uninhabited area."

"We plan to clear all Blood Transmission Pillars within today."

Hearing this, Cao Xing replied, "Good, but you still can’t take it lightly now, constantly stay vigilant."

"If there’s any abnormality, immediately head towards the Kunade Kingdom’s Main City."

According to the Ice Crystal King previously, they have ancient teleportation arrays built in their Main Cities.
