Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Cao Xing's face was lined with frustration, realizing that this Lieutenant didn't have much faith in their abilities, yet still allowed them to proceed. It seemed like they were being sent to their deaths.

However, the matter was now settled.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "I have a group of powerful followers and partners, of course we succeeded."

Carlhan glanced behind Cao Xing, then nodded and said, "Lord Cao Xing, you are right, you have a group of powerful followers."

"Moreover, with such a courageous presence, I believe you will rise to prominence at a terrifying speed!"

"It won't be long before the entire Western Continent knows your name."

"In the distant future, even we, the Undead buried deep in the Underground Palace, will hear of your name!"

Cao Xing chuckled, this fellow really knew how to flatter.

However, business was business. The agreed-upon reward should still be claimed.

So, Cao Xing directly said, "Lieutenant Carlhan, thank you for your praise."

"However, regarding the reward we previously discussed..."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Carlhan showed no resistance and instead nodded, "Of course, it is well-deserved."

With that, he conjured a large stack of Recruitment Scrolls, along with a blueprint, and three Training Books out of thin air.

Then, he handed all these items over to Cao Xing.

A system prompt appeared.

[Mission: Rescue the Ascalon Undead in the Four Great Temples has been completed.]

[Mission: Rescue the Undead of Duke Baladin has been completed.]

[Received mission rewards: Ascalon Soldier Recruitment Scroll x112, Ascalon Training Camp Blueprint x1, Ascalon Elite Soldier Training Book x3]

At this moment, looking at the large pile of reward Recruitment Scrolls in his backpack, Cao Xing could not suppress his joy.

The rewards from this mission had completely exceeded his expectations.

Enough to significantly enhance his power!

However, Cao Xing remembered hearing a system prompt.

He could request additional rewards from Lieutenant Carlhan.

"Ahem! Lieutenant Carlhan, aside from the Four Great Temples, we also rescued many innocent Undead this time."

"I wonder... if it might be possible..."

Hearing this, Lieutenant Carlhan appeared slightly distressed.

Because he had already given everything to Cao Xing.

At this moment, Duke Baladin stepped forward and said, "Lord Cao Xing, you have already taken our burial treasures and my Ancient Treasure Sword, Magdaler, which is already in your hands."

"These are more than enough to compensate your rewards."

Hearing this, Cao Xing awkwardly coughed twice.

It turned out that Duke Baladin already knew what he had done in the Underground Palace.

It was only now that Cao Xing realized how terrifying Duke Baladin truly was.

He intended to gauge Duke Baladin's strength, but when he looked over, beside the name, everything else was a reel of '???'.

This indicated that Duke Baladin was, at the very least, a Fourth Rank existence!

Not an ordinary Fourth Rank, but at least Leader Level.

If he had not been suppressed so harshly by the Soul-Devouring Demon, Duke Baladin with such terrifying strength, along with the Undead Body, would likely have very few opponents in the entire Gale Snow Plain.

Fortunately, the other party seemed unwilling to pursue the matter at this moment.

At this time, Duke Baladin laughed again and said, "Although you've taken our burial treasures,"

"you've helped us reclaim the Underground Palace this time, saving us Ascraon People, which is of great significance."

"I should indeed give you a bit more reward."

Cao Xing was just about to express modesty.

Yet he saw that Duke Baladin's hand already held a book exuding a blue aura of the Undead.

Duke Baladin explained, "This is a record of all the Ascalon Undead names in our Underground Palace."

"I call it the Book of the Dead; it contains the Space Magic I left behind during my lifetime.

"Open the book and chant the spell, you will have three opportunities to summon us to fight for you."

"However, due to the limitation of Space Power, we can only exist for about 60 seconds."

"Moreover, due to my insufficient authority, you can only summon the Undead within this Underground Palace."

After hearing Duke Baladin's explanation, Cao Xing inhaled sharply!

Whoa!

He could actually summon the entire Undead of the Underground Palace to fight!

What kind of concept was that?

It was known that the number of Undead here was close to a thousand, and with the other souls in this Underground Palace,

at least over a thousand!

And this group of Undead, were at least level 20 or above, with quite a few elites and bosses!

And this Duke Baladin, was at the very least Fourth-order Leader Level, maybe even a legendary Commander!

Such a powerful force, even if only for 60 seconds, could easily sweep through everything!

Cao Xing was thrilled, promptly taking the book.

[Obtained: Ascalon's Book of the Dead (Special Item)]

"Thank you, you are truly a generous Duke!"

Cao Xing's gratitude was heartfelt.

No kidding, when given such amazing stuff, saying thank you was the norm!

If it weren't for his unwillingness, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for Cao Xing to acknowledge him as a grandfather!

With such a potent guardian, in the future, the entire Gale Snow Plain would be a walk in the park for him.

Duke Baladin also smiled and waved, saying, "Well then, Lord Cao Xing, we must now reorganize the Underground Palace, so we won't keep you any longer."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing understood his meaning, it was time to leave.

Although there were still many unexplored areas in this Underground Palace and many coffins yet to be scavenged.

Still, it was enough, as he had already made a huge gain this time!

"Alright, Your Grace, we also need to go out and handle other matters as well."

With that, Cao Xing clenched his fist with one hand, placing it upon his chest.

"May the glory of Ascalon endure!"

In the field, all the Undead clenched their fists and solemnly saluted Cao Xing!
