I rested for a bit at noon and went online in the afternoon. I went to the King's City. Since we won the territory war, we received a lot of resources. Now it was time to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
I went to the infantry camp and recruited 2000 archers. These soldiers were suitable for defense. Once they reached a certain number, even if there were no players defending, just the NPCs would be enough to give attackers a headache.
Also, in the cavalry camp, I recruited 850 armored cavalrymen. This way, the territory had 1000 armored cavalrymen. If anyone dared to attack the territory next time, I would use my cavalry to kill them!
As for the Swift Wind Cavalry, which were even more elite than the armored cavalrymen, they were more like my personal cavalry. I would keep them for now and not use them to fight. If I lost them, I would not be able to recruit them. It would be a pity.
Last time, the system rewarded me with too many resources. There was still more than half left, so I recruited civilians to mine or farm. The entire King's City was full of life —

City Free Land?
What did that mean?
Just as I was puzzled, a snow-white figure walked over. It was Ling Xue, who was wearing a suit of Semi-Immortal-grade armor. She did not ride a horse. She pulled my hand and smiled. "I have something to discuss with you!"
"Yes, what is it?"
"Follow me first!"
Ling Xue took me to the back of a row of houses. There, I saw green grass, drops of dew, and a warm spring breeze. Grasshoppers were jumping around in the grass. It was a scene of a new world.
Ling Xue pointed at the land and said, "Scholar ~ This is freely distributed land. Give it to me!"
"Eh, how do you know it is freely distributed land?"
"I found it in the official information on the territory!" Ling Xue glanced at me. "Don't tell me you didn't even see this? You're even a lord …"
I smiled awkwardly and said, "Alright, there are a total of 8 plots of land. Why do you want them?
You don't even know how to farm … "
Ling Xue immediately puffed out her chest proudly and said, "Why don't I know how to farm?
I want … I want to plant a field of wheat so that I don't have to go far to gather wheat when I make bread … "
"En, alright then!"
I nodded gladly and went to the territory manager to allocate all eight pieces of land to Ling Xue.
"Assign a few more civilians to me …"
"Don't push your luck!"
Ling Xue stopped talking and looked at me angrily.
"Alright, alright, I'll give you 10 civilians …"
"Hehe, thank you!"
Ling Xue was overjoyed but then her expression darkened. She said, "Scholar, let's level together!
We're already Level 150. I really … really want to have a Affection skill. Even if it's a noob one, it doesn't matter … "
"Yes, why wouldn't I want one too?"
I turned around and hugged Ling Xue's shoulder. I said with a smile, "Let's go grind levels and find quests. That way, our chances of learning Affection skills will greatly increase. Also …"
I glanced at the little beauty and said, "Your mount needs to be higher. The Fire Cloud Leopard is too noob and its stats are too low. You need at least a Boss …"
Ling Xue smiled. "Alright, then where should we go to level in the afternoon?"
"I don't know."
"You have no ideas!"
"Then do you know where we can level?"
"I don't know!
Never mind, I'll go to the general store in White Cloud City to buy some wheat seeds and plant them. Don't wander around and wait for me! "
"Come back as soon as possible."
Ling Xue returned to the city, and not long after, she came back with a bulging bag of seeds. At this time, I selected 10 lumberjacks from the Lumberjacks and handed them over to her. Ten NPC farmers dressed in coarse cloth stood there solemnly and respectfully, looking at their new master — Breeze and Snow.
After handing the seeds to one of the farmers, Ling Xue said with a smile, "Uncle, these eight plots of land will all be planted with wheat. Thank you …"
The farmer was flattered. "It is our honor to serve our master."
After that, the lumberjacks switched to hoes and started farming.
… …
"What are you doing …"
Ling Yue's voice came. She was under a poplar tree and holding a staff in her hand. She asked with a smile.
Ling Xue said, "Big sis, I'm learning how to farm!"
"Cut it out, you're supervising people farming …" I glanced at Ling Xue's face and said with a smile, "Why does my Ling Xue look more and more like a beautiful landlord collecting rent?"
Ling Xue blushed and said angrily, "You're the landlord, your whole family is a landlord …"
"Yes, I'm a landlord, you're also a landlord, so my whole family is a landlord.
Because your name will definitely appear in my household register … "
Ling Xue stilled, her face turning even redder. She said in a small voice, "Hmph …"
Ling Yue looked at the eight plots of land and gathered her mage skirt. She bent down and looked at them for a while. Suddenly, she laughed excitedly. "Wow!
It's really planted!
It's sprouting, it's sprouting … "
I was astonished. "Don't wheat need to be covered in winter snow to grow?"
"Please, this is a game. If it's only harvested once a year, wouldn't my Snow be worried to death?"
"That's true …"
Ling Xue was incomparably excited. She walked around the plots of land and said with a smile, "It should be harvested in less than a week. That's great. Hehe, I just need to steal some eggs and beef and I can continue making high-grade bread!"
"You're going to steal eggs again?!" I looked at her angrily. "That's not good, my karma will drop!"
Ling Xue thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Scholar, you're right. In that case, I can't steal eggs anymore!"
Then, she changed the topic and said, "Then you can go steal for me!
Logan's Farm just so happens to have a new big dog. You can use Shadow Meld to steal it. It's absolutely safe! "
I sweated, "Don't …"
Ling Yue blinked and said, "Scholar, you can ask Melancholy to steal …"
"Yes, I understand."
And so, the number one assassin of White Cloud City tragically became an egg thief.
… …
After understanding the plan Ling Xue and I had in the afternoon, Ling Yue happily said, "I have a quest that can be shared with three people. If you two don't mind, come with me and do this quest. After we complete it, we might get a lot of Honor points!"
"Huh?
Scholar already has a title? "
Finally, Ling Yue noticed the level 2 title under my name. She pointed at it and said, "Damn!
You really are a super monster. We didn't even get 100 Honor Points, but you actually have more than 500 Honor Points! "
I laughed, "That's because I'm lucky. Let's not talk so much. Let's do the quest. Ling Yue, do you want to share?"
"Yes, okay!"
Ling Yue immediately shared the quest — —
【A Piece of Parchment】 (Current Quest Difficulty: 100)
Quest Description: Head to the White Cloud City Palace and find the Silver Cavalry Squad Commander, Fei Ya. This parchment records something very important. You must find Fei Ya as soon as possible.
Quest can be shared. Limit: 3.
… …
"Oh?
It's just a quest? "
"Yes, this scroll was dropped by a Heaven Rank boss we killed. We have to find this Fei Ya first.
But, I've been looking for a long time and I still don't know where Fei Ya is … "
I smiled, "Since you don't know, then come with me. I know who she is!"
"Oh!?" Ling Yue was overjoyed, "That's great! Let's go!"
"Yes, let's go to White Cloud City first!"
After teleporting to White Cloud City, I brought the twins to the palace under the envious gazes of the passersby. As expected, Princess Fei Ya was still there.
When I handed the parchment over, Fei Ya's face turned green and she gritted her teeth, "Damn undead, they actually dare to surround and attack our camp in White Cloud City!
Deputy General Lin Qiu is in danger, but I can't leave White Cloud City at this time … "
"Oh?
Deputy General Lin Qiu? "I was stunned," This person, how is he related to Link? "
Fei Ya looked at me with surprise and said, "He's Lynk's younger brother. He's also the deputy general of the Silver Cavalry Regiment. He's stationed at the border of the White Cloud City. This is the letter he sent three days ago …"
So it was Link's younger brother!
I immediately said, "Fei Ya, if it's possible, let us help you save Lin Qiu?"
"But, you will be in danger too …" Fei Ya bit her lips.
"We aren't afraid …" Ling Xue said.
"Okay then, if you can successfully save Lin Qiu, I will give you three times the reward!"
Fei Ya's words shocked me. Three times the reward, we are rich this time, hahaha …
"Ding ~!"
System notification: Your party has accepted the quest [Maple Forest Fortress]!
(Current Quest Difficulty: 2700)
Quest Details: Maple Forest Fortress is located at the end of Moonlight Forest, at the border between White Cloud City and Dark Forest. White Cloud City's most elite Silver Cavalry Squad is stationed there. Now, Maple Forest Fortress is being invaded by a bunch of terrifying undead. Please head over to help, kill the undead and ensure Deputy General Lin Qiu's survival. After completing the quest, you will receive a generous reward!
… …
En, very good, very good!!
In the past, I always received generous rewards. This time, there was a 'very'. It seemed like it was really generous!
Fei Ya looked at me and said, "Quickly go and save Lin Qiu!
Also … You guys have to be careful too … "
"En!"
I turned around and brought the two girls out of the palace.
The quest difficulty was 2700. To a party of three, it was quite high. However, we had the Obsidian Dragon Guoguo and the god-tier pet Ling 'er, so it shouldn't be too difficult, right?
It was hard to say. Everything was possible.
At the end of Moonlight Forest, there probably weren't many people who had been there before. The long Moonlight Forest stretched for thousands of miles. At the end was a vast expanse, followed by the Outer World. The so-called Outer World was a terrifying place. Legends said that it was the birthplace of the power of darkness. It was said that those who went there had never returned.
With the speed of the Blaze Warhorse, it would take around two hours to reach the end. If it was a normal player, it would take around 12 hours!
Ling Xue rode the Fire Cloud Leopard and carried Ling Yue. I rode the Blaze Warhorse and led the way with Ling Er. Ling Er's movement speed on the ground was incredibly fast. She wasn't much slower than the Blaze Warhorse at all. In the sky, the Obsidian Dragon Guoguo flew. Now that Guoguo was Level 150, the Obsidian Dragon's power was at 50%. Wherever it flew, mountain birds flew away and beasts fled. It was as if a king had descended.
Damn, it was just an Immortal Rank boss and it was so strong. Look at my god-tier pet Phantom Warrior, it was so low-key!
In the party channel, Chrysanthemum Daohana's voice came. "Big brother Scholar …"
"Yes, what is it, Xiangxiang?"
"I … can walk on my own …" Chrysanthemum Daohana said carefully.
"Ah!
Really?! "I smiled in pleasant surprise." That's great!
In that case … yes, tomorrow. I'll drive over to your place and bring you back to the workshop. Is that okay? "
Chrysanthemum Daohana said timidly, "Will I trouble you?"
Ling Yue immediately said with a smile, "Of course not. Xiangxiang can walk on her own now. She's an official member of Xue Yue Studio. Of course you have to come back to the workshop!"
Ling Xue also said, "Yes, yes. We're worried about Xiangxiang living alone outside."
And so, Chrysanthemum Daohana said in a small voice, "I … got it. Thank you, everyone!"
Finally, one of my worries was resolved. If Chrysanthemum Daohana's legs could recover, then she wouldn't need to rely on anyone. A beautiful girl's future was bound to be exciting.
… …
As we moved forward, Ling Yue said hopefully, "Hehe, this quest's difficulty is 2700. There will definitely be a super boss waiting for us. Great, will it drop an Immortal-grade staff?"
"Let's make a wish on a meteor. Maybe." I looked up at the sun above my head!
Ling Xue hoped for something else. "This quest can at least let us level up, right?
It's about time for Scholar and I to comprehend the Emotion Skill … "
I also said hopefully, "Yes!
If I don't learn it soon, I'm going to delete my account … "
Ling Yue said with a smile, "Okay, after you delete your account, come with me and Xue 'er to the headquarters in Shanghai for management training!
I'm very familiar with dad's trusted aides and department heads ~ "
"… …"
It wasn't long before we reached the edge of Moonlight Forest. A sea of red appeared in front of us. As expected, it was the Maple Forest mentioned in the quest. In the depths of the Maple Forest, on an open field, there was a simple human army camp. It was called simple because the camp was surrounded by a row of black wooden stakes. There was a shallow ravine at the edge, and there were deer antlers and other defensive equipment buried in front of it.
However, it was clear that these things couldn't stop the invasion of the undead. At this time, a group of high-level skeleton warriors with blades and shields surrounded the camp!
