Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

When the number of soldiers exceeded 10, the attack power increased by 20% (activated).

When the number of soldiers exceeded 50, the armor increased by 20% (activated).

When the number of soldiers exceeded 100, the Fearless Charge skill was additionally activated (activated).

...

Seeing this Ascalon Soldier's bond introduction, Cao Xing was instantly shocked.

"Wow! I activated the legion skills!"

"This Fearless Charge skill is so powerful!"

Move speed, attack power, and armor all surged up significantly!

One could imagine, with Cao Xing's various status enhancements, combined with [Fearless Charge].

The sight of these Ascalon Soldiers charging on the battlefield, how terrifying it must be!

As long as they grew strong, they would crush any obstacle in their path for him!

However, thinking of this, Cao Xing felt both anticipation and a bit of a headache.

So many first-tier soldiers, just the Heart of Power would require over a hundred...

The only current way to obtain a large number of Hearts of Power was from the Giant Dragon Store.

Inside, a Basic Power Heart cost 1000 Ice Dragon Marks each.

That meant, if Cao Xing wanted to train all these soldiers to the Second Order, he at least needed 100,000 Ice Dragon Marks!

"My goodness... 100,000 Ice Dragon Marks, enough to exchange for a Golden Treasure Box."

"However, if I could upgrade so many people all to the Second Order, it would be worth it."

Of course, the premise was that Cao Xing had that many Ice Dragon Marks.

Meanwhile, the subjects, seeing so many people suddenly appear, had looks of shock in their eyes.

The two centaurs were the first to react, laughing loudly: "Haha! We have so many companions now."

"That's right, Kanter, these new companions seem of decent quality!"

Looking at so many people, another headache was placed in front of Cao Xing.

Although he had the [Eternal Power] talent, all status skills had cooling times.

Moreover, after Cao Xing and others consecutively released multiple skills, spiritual power would be exhausted.

To fully enhance the status of these 102 soldiers, it would likely take an entire night.

"Alas, having too many subordinates can be a burden sometimes."

Cao Xing let out a sigh.

If the other survivors knew of his troubles, they would probably berate him to no end.

After all, at the current stage, having a few ordinary recruited creatures under their command was considered good for those survivors.

"Muxue, Hilda, Blot, come over here and apply group enhancements to our new members."

In Cao Xing's territory, only these three had group buffs.

A single skill could grant all friendly units in the nearby area the bonus, easily and efficiently.

Upon receiving Cao Xing's order.

Liu Muxue raised her longsword, casting [Courage Blessing] on this group of Ascalon Soldiers.

With Liu Muxue's almost 200 spiritual power, it equated to an increase of nearly 300 attack power for everyone!

What did this mean?

Even a second-order creature at level 10 only had an attack power of around 200-300.

All soldiers had their attack power multiplied!

Then came Hilda's [Queen's Will].

And Blot's [Resonance Totem].

At this moment, over a hundred soldiers felt their power receive a terrifying boost!

The Ascalon Soldiers marveled, "To enhance our strength so much, it's truly frightening!"

Next to them, the centaur proudly remarked, "Hey! Surprised, new recruits? Let me tell you, this is our Lord's unique power!"

The Ascalon Soldiers didn't refute, each nodding in agreement, "Truly miraculous power!"

"Being able to fight for such a great Lord is our honor!"

Then, a series of System Prompts about loyalty increase appeared again.

All soldiers' loyalty reached over 70!

Cao Xing's face showed joy.

[Eternal Power] remained as useful as ever.

Then, he shouted loudly, "All combat personnel, listen up!"

In the next moment, all combat personnel in the territory stiffened.

"Assam, Andrew, Blom, Renice, Blot, each lead twenty Ascalon Soldiers, forming five squads."

"You will each defend one of the five directions of the territory, to stop the Ice Nest Monster's attack."

Since Cao Xing's walls were circular and to facilitate resource mining, he opened five main gates.

Thus, five squads could defend all directions.

Everyone promptly made battle preparations.

Including the Ascalon Soldiers, they showed no extra emotion despite having to fight immediately after emerging.

As soldiers, their primary duty was combat.

Everyone quickly formed their squads.

Cao Xing continued, "All archers, return to the watchtowers, providing fire support to our combat personnel."

"Others form a backup squad, ready to support immediately where needed or where Ice Nest Monsters have reached the walls."

"Understand?"

At this moment, all combat personnel replied in unison, "Understood!"

Simultaneously, the five basic iron gates within the territory opened.

The five squads swiftly moved out.

As Eliza was about to lead people up the watchtower, Cao Xing suddenly thought of something.

He then handed her the [Ancient Weapon·Triple Sniper Rifle].

Eliza, holding this over-a-meter-long sniper rifle, appeared quite petite.

Cao Xing briefly explained how to use it, then said, "It's okay if you don't know how, try practicing with it."

"If the arrow is depleted, use this weapon to attack."

"Mm-mm! Thank you, Lord!"

Eliza nodded, and then with the sniper rifle, she quickly climbed up the more than ten-meter-high watchtower.

Everyone took their battle positions, ready to fight.
