Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 943: Chapter 349: Inventorying Resources and Accepting Puteng Village Villagers

”Lord, Lady, and brave warriors, welcome back triumphant!”

The other subjects followed suit.

”Welcome back, brave warriors!”

They shouted exuberantly, each appearing very excited.

Assam and Andrew exchanged glances in the rear.

This was their first time being greeted so formally, making them feel a bit embarrassed.

Cao Xing had a smile on his face, nodding slightly.

”No need for excessive courtesy, you all worked hard these past two days.”

”Rab has already told me that during this period, you all were focused on constructing various facilities in the territory, everyone worked very hard.”

Receiving recognition from their Lord, many couldn’t help but tear up, their eyes reflecting a moved expression.

Without saying much more, Cao Xing directly said:

”Now, report to me what happened in the territory during the two days we were away.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Cao Yi, a subject, was the first to step forward with his report.

He stepped up respectfully and said: ”Honorable Lord, during the days you were away, we focused on building the wall and constructing new Elemental Arrow Towers.”

”As you can see, a complete circle of wall has been erected.”

”Moreover, we constructed 32 Intermediate Elemental Arrow Towers and 14 Intermediate Frost Arrow Towers, and all have been upgraded to Intermediate Level!”

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

The attack power of these Intermediate Elemental Arrow Towers is not high, only around 500.

Even when upgraded to Advanced, it’s only 2000 attack power.

But their existence is still very crucial.

As long as these towers are constructed, they can automatically lock onto the enemy and continuously launch attacks.

Moreover, they do not require arrows or ammunition to operate.

With enough numbers, even ants can bite an elephant to death!

This time, in Dorun Lake City, Cao Xing suffered due to these towers.

A dense barrage of arrows came his way, directly rendering his Holy Shield skill useless.

And under the massive attacks, even with his terrifying recovery ability, he struggled to endure.

Forced by circumstances, Cao Xing could only fly low, using the constructions as cover to avoid attacks.

It can be said that if those towers weren’t present, Cao Xing’s danger level would be much reduced.

This thing can usually be unused, but it cannot be absent.

So, Cao Xing asked: ”Cao Yi, how many towers do we have in total in our territory?”

Cao Yi thought for a moment then replied: ”Esteemed Lord, currently, in the territory, we have a total of 71 Basic and Intermediate Elemental Arrow Towers, 38 Ice Arrow Towers, and 18 Intermediate Frost Arrow Towers.”

Upon hearing this number, Cao Xing calculated in his heart and nodded again.

There are close to 130 towers, which is quite formidable.

If you count the War Ancient Trees and Vine Head Cannons among defensive plants, the defense is indeed tightly secured!

”Very good, recently I obtained a blueprint for Advanced Arrow Towers.”

”In the coming days, pause the construction of new towers, and upgrade all those Intermediate Elemental Arrow Towers to Advanced Level.”

Cao Yi listened and responded respectfully: ”As you command, Lord.”

After pausing, the elderly Cao Yi continued: ”Additionally, there’s another matter to report.”

”Go ahead.”

”Well, yesterday afternoon, a group of villagers arrived at our territory, there are quite a lot, a total of 237 people.”

”They claim to have been sent by Baron Fitz.”

”I’m not familiar with these villagers, and since the Lord was absent, I dared not make a hasty decision.”

”So I temporarily housed them in the residential area on the edge of the territory, awaiting your return for further handling.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing was a bit surprised.

He was aware of these villagers.

Previously, he had discussed with Fitz Walker about arranging a group of people to come over.

Unexpectedly, Fitz’s efficiency was so fast.

Cao Xing nodded and said: ”I understand, I will go and interact with these villagers.”

”Is there anything else to report?”

Subject Cao Yi shook his head, ”No, honorable Lord.”

After speaking, he respectfully withdrew.

Then it was Dazhuang’s turn.

This Polar man, after breaking through to Second Order, appeared even more robust.

With a loud voice, he excitedly reported: ”Lord! In the past few days, I led the goblins in full mining endeavors!”

”In three days, we transported a total of seventeen carts of ore back, and worked through the night at the Ore Processing Plant to sort all the ore out!”

”We mined a total of 52,312 iron, 12,812 copper, 18,647 coal, and over a thousand Basic Level Magic Energy Crystals.”

”Additionally, some silver ore and gold ore are pending smelting, the quantity is uncertain for now.”

”As for the stones you instructed, we mined over 200,000!”

”Now, the resources in that mine have basically been exhausted by us!”

”We need more, larger veins!”

The goblins behind him also raised their hammers excitedly, saying: ”Larger veins! Larger veins!”

”Mining! We want to mine!”

Listening to Dazhuang’s report, a smile appeared at the corner of Cao Xing’s mouth.

He had only assigned Dazhuang 60 goblins.

The result was surprisingly efficient, having directly emptied that mine.

However, for these naturally generated resource points, once mined, they do not regenerate.

So, in the near future, new resource points will have to be found for mining.

Fortunately, Cao Xing knows where nearby the territory there are hidden rich resource points.
