Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1205: Chapter 419: Princess of the Kingdom, First Meditation

If they found out, they’d be green with envy.

...

...

Meanwhile, in the mountains over a hundred kilometers from the territory.

Dazhuang of the Polar People, was driving a transportation vehicle, leading all the goblin laborers to arrive at Lanpuli Cave.

"Buzz! Buzz buzz!"

A dozen or so armored transport vehicles crushed the thick snow, stopping at the entrance of the cave.

The centaurs led by Kandar were already waiting there.

They quickly completed the handover.

A group of goblins jumped out of the carriages.

And moved all the supplies such as food, wood, coal, and camp tents into the cave.

Meanwhile, Dazhuang ordered: "Goblins, tonight we’ll set up camp first, and tomorrow morning we’ll start working full force!"

The goblins raised their hammers high and exclaimed excitedly: "Mining! Goblins love mining!"

With those words, over a hundred people began to take action.

...

...

Time slowly passed by...

It was soon five o’clock in the afternoon.

The World BOSS, Zhuoma Giant Beast challenge began on time.

Under Hilda’s 100-layer blood poison attack.

It only took 1 hour and 27 minutes to finish the battle.

...

...

At night.

Liu Muxue and Assam, along with all the warriors, majestically returned to the territory.

Cao Xing went up to greet them.

This valiant female knight, upon seeing Cao Xing’s figure, quickly jumped off the back of the Frost Moose.

After a day of battle, she did not feel tired, but rather had an excited expression on her face, appearing very thrilled.

She first handed over all the spoils of war to Cao Xing, then said.

"Axing, shall I go and add single skills to the newcomers now?"

"Many new members’ skills haven’t been refreshed yet during the day."

Cao Xing listened and showed a gentle smile.

"Alright, go ahead."

"Mmm-hmm!"

Very soon, the female knight left from there.

There wasn’t anything scheduled for tonight.

Cao Xing planned to take some time to go to the Mage Tower to absorb [Magic Crystal Stone].

This thing takes one or two hours to absorb one piece, but the gains are considerable.

It can directly increase 1% of magic damage, with a maximum cap of 50%.

However, there is a restriction that only one can be absorbed per day.

So Cao Xing decided that starting today, in about two months, his magic damage will undergo a qualitative change.

But before that, he first needs to go to the Blacksmith Shop.

Cao Xing pushed open the door directly.

"Creak~!"

Upon entering the Blacksmith Shop, the first thing that caught the eye was three burning forging furnaces.

Sale and Bodi, two blacksmith apprentices, under Harold’s guidance, were learning quenching, smelting and other techniques.

Seeing him come in, the three of them saluted simultaneously.

Cao Xing nodded in acknowledgment and then asked: "Harold, how much of that last batch of shields has been made?"

The dwarf blacksmith replied respectfully: "Lord, about 40 shields have been made."

A curve appeared on the corner of Cao Xing’s mouth.

This number is indeed more than enough.

After all, there were only thirty or so warriors in his territory who used shields.

"Very good, I’ll go get them myself. You can continue with your work."

"At your command, Lord."

With those words, Harold continued to explain forging knowledge with the two apprentices.

And Cao Xing went directly to the storage box area.

Upon opening the box, it immediately revealed exquisitely crafted round shields.

These round shields were about half a meter in diameter, appropriately sized, lightweight, yet with adequate defensive area.

The surface of the round shields was dark gray, with an ancient totem engraved on the shield face.

They were entirely made of fine iron, with the addition of some constant gold and mithril, further enhancing their defensive power.

"These shields look quite promising."

Cao Xing directly stored all these shields into his backpack.

[Acquired: Barbarian Round Shield (Purple) *41]

...

These round shields, naturally, are prepared for the group of Centaur Strong Shield Cavalry.

To be honest, the Silver Hand Knights could also equip them.

They can hold shields in their left hand and guns in their right, using the same combat style as the Centaur Gun Shield Cavalry.

But there aren’t many shields in the territory, so that’s something to consider later on.

He glanced at the shield’s attributes.

[Barbarian Round Shield (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Equipment Level: Level 40]

[Armor: 432~451]

[Attached Effect 1: Constitution +150, Power +100, Block Chance +20%]

[Attached Effect 2: Advanced Unload Power (when receiving physical attacks, reduces the effect of 300 power from the enemy)]

[Attached Effect 3: Barbarian Power (when attacked, has a 30% chance of increasing 300 power, lasting 60 seconds)]

(Equipment Introduction: A shield that only the brave and fearless are worthy of using, crafted by expert-level blacksmith Harold Iceberg)

...

"This special effect is interesting, reducing the enemy’s power by 300 and increasing one’s own power by 300."

"That adds up to a 600-power difference."

"These shields are indeed quite suitable for the Centaur Gun Shield Cavalry, as they are capable of both offense and defense."

Satisfied, he nodded and then left the Blacksmith Shop.

"Next, I need to head to the Mage Tower to start absorbing the Magic Crystal Stone."

Cao Xing, familiar with the path, walked briskly towards the Mage Tower and soon arrived at the entrance.

"Creak~!"

Pushing open the bronze door of the Mage Tower, a flood of magical energy rushed towards him.

In an instant, a spacious hall appeared before him.

The chandelier hanging from the ceiling emitted a blue eerie light, adding a touch of cold, stern atmosphere to the entire Mage Tower.

Cao Xing took a glance.

He noticed that almost all of the thirty or so meditation rooms on the first floor showed they were occupied.
