Chapter 253
Summon the Ascalon Army!_2 Cao Xing was momentarily stunned and turned his head to look at Eliza.
He met her clear and beautiful blue eyes.
The next moment, Eliza’s face suddenly turned red.
She quickly released Cao Xing’s hand and turned to walk to the side.
Meanwhile, Blom and the two centaurs stood together and said excitedly, “Lord, when do we start the battle? Blom can’t wait any longer!”
The centaur chimed in, “Kanter is too! I want to smash those guys’ heads with my mace!”
Cao Xing replied with a smile, “Wait a bit, we have some new members.”
“New members?”
Everyone’s eyes were filled with a look of doubt.
Cao Xing did not explain and then glanced at his backpack.
Yesterday, that group of Ascalon undead had given him over a hundred recruitment scrolls.
He had given Ji Xinyue ten, leaving Cao Xing with 102 scrolls.
However, since the number of more than a hundred people was a bit overwhelming,
just the supplies consumed by meals each day was a huge figure.
Therefore, Cao Xing hadn’t summoned them right away.
But now, he could use these scrolls and let them join in the battle.
Thus, Cao Xing unhesitatingly activated all 102 recruitment scrolls!
In an instant, there was a vibration in the sky.
Rumble!
All the subjects could not help but look up.
Then they saw meteors, like a meteor shower, falling in front of Cao Xing.
Buzz! Buzz buzz!
The meteor shower kept descending, the starlight dazzling.
After landing, these meteors quickly transformed into Ascalon soldiers dressed in standard armor, holding standard short swords.
“For the lost glory, to inherit the will of the dead!”
“Ascalon Soldier: Portcas/Kent/Yang Karllo…”
“Reporting to you!”
Then, a hundred-man army appeared directly in front of Cao Xing!
There were too many names; he couldn’t possibly remember each one.
So Cao Xing addressed them collectively, “Brave warriors from Ascalon, welcome to your new home.”
“Let’s forget the past and work together to build a territory full of glory!”
At this moment, the group of Ascalon soldiers looked at Cao Xing with a peculiar expression.
Because when they looked at Cao Xing, there was always a sense of familiarity, or rather, intimacy.
At this time, an Ascalon soldier stepped forward and said, “Lord, I don’t know why, but even though we are meeting for the first time, I feel a kindred spirit within you.”
Another soldier nodded in agreement, “Exactly, I feel the same way.”
“I sense you are indeed a good lord.”
“Haha! I also trust my instincts, you must be a good lord!”
These soldiers, meeting for the first time, had given Cao Xing extremely high praise.
Cao Xing smiled, knowing the reason behind it.
It might be because his goodwill with the Ascalon camp was at an [Intimate] level.
It was worth noting that even if Cao Xing wandered around the territories of the Ascalon undead, he wouldn’t be attacked.
They basically treated him as one of their own.
So when these soldiers looked at Cao Xing, they felt very close.
Cao Xing nodded and said, “In fact, I have had some dealings with you Ascalon people.”
“Before this, I saved Duke Baladin and an entire underground palace full of Ascalon undead.”
Upon hearing this, the soldiers’ eyes were all filled with astonishment.
Sensing their confusion,
Cao Xing recounted his experiences in the underground palace.
Of course, he embellished the process a little to highlight the danger.
The battle with that demon, in particular, was recounted by Cao Xing as fraught with peril.
The group of Ascalon soldiers almost held their breaths as they listened to Cao Xing’s story.
When they heard that after much hardship, they finally took down that demon, all the Ascalon soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, their gazes towards Cao Xing were filled with respect and admiration.
Then, a hundred soldiers simultaneously knelt on one knee and said, “To dare fight such a powerful demon, you truly are a merciful and brave lord!”
“We represent all the Ascalon people in thanking you!”
The next moment, a series of system prompts appeared.
[Due to your heroic deeds, the loyalty of your territory member Kent has increased, current loyalty: 67]
[Due to your heroic deeds, the loyalty of your territory member Hercules has increased, current loyalty: 65]
[Due to your…]
…
The loyalties of all these Ascalon soldiers had risen a few points, exceeding 60.
Cao Xing chuckled.
Is this the power of storytelling?
It seemed his storytelling skills weren’t too bad!
Then, Cao Xing glanced at their attributes.
