Chapter 1368: Chapter 466: Supplies Gathered, Pre-War Preparations
The knight captain nodded blankly.
“Al… alright.”
The others also stood dumbfounded in place, their eyes full of a ghost-like look, observing everything around them.
At this moment, Cao Xing had pressed down the communication device on his ear, summoning Du An to bring a group of Polar People over.
Soon, six or seven Polar People came flying over at a brisk pace.
The knight captain on the horse, along with the other knights, instantly locked their gazes onto this group of Polar People.
Because they felt a dangerous aura emanating from this group of Polar People!
It was a feeling one experiences only when facing creatures stronger than oneself.
They even felt that in a one-on-one status, they were no match for these Polar People.
When this thought popped into their minds, they couldn’t help but feel it was ridiculous.
What a joke, they couldn’t beat a group of Polar People—a bit too unreasonable, isn’t it?
However, everyone within this territory seemed to find this commonplace.
The Polar People swiftly unloaded a large number of supplies from the carriage.
Just when they thought this feeling was an illusion, they saw the Polar People casually moving boxes weighing hundreds of kilograms.
Their movements appeared as if they were handling items weighing only a few kilograms!
At that moment, they confirmed one thing.
That is, these Polar People truly had the power to easily defeat them, their eyes growing increasingly grave.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing was smiling sincerely as he looked at the pile of supplies on the ground.
This batch of materials was indeed substantial.
It included a vast amount of Crowns, food, and Mithril, among other things…
Just the three billion Crowns alone filled over a dozen boxes!
Additionally, there was a large quantity of food—a million kilograms of food, packed into more than twenty thousand bags, each weighing forty kilograms.
Once all the supplies were offloaded.
The knight captain gradually recovered his composure.
Then he looked at Cao Xing, asking with a mix of doubt and curiosity.
“Lord, may I ask impolitely, why do the Polar People of your territory differ from those in other regions?”
“Hm? How are they different?” Cao Xing asked, feigning confusion.
The knight captain replied: “They give me a feeling of being even more ferocious than some Fourth Rank creatures!”
Cao Xing chuckled, “Nothing much, it’s just that the living conditions in our territory are relatively good, and these Polar People are simply more robust.”
He casually made up an excuse.
Upon hearing this, the knights exchanged glances.
Though they understood the reason was somewhat implausible.
No one dared to question anything.
After all, just sending out a few working Polar People could decimate their Knight Order…
Let alone, they saw various soldiers, warriors constantly coming and going from the center construction of the territory…
Probably a single soldier could lead to their Knight Order’s total annihilation.
Upon observing the internal situation of this territory, the knight captain seemed to understand why their Viscount placed so much importance on this territory.
He took a deep breath, then said, “Lord, the items have been delivered, we won’t linger any longer.”
Cao Xing smiled and said, “Alright, thank you for making the trip.”
The knight captain cupped his hands, then took everyone and the emptied carriage, heading outside the territory.
“Clop clop… clop clop…”
As the sound of hooves gradually faded away.
Until they were completely one to two kilometers outside the domain of Cao Xing, these knights slowly released a sigh of relief.
One of the knights, with an odd expression, asked.
“Captain… is what he said true? Are those Polar People really just stronger?”
The knight captain glanced at him coolly and then said, “Whether it’s true or not, does it matter?”
The person cautiously replied, “But allowing Polar People to have power isn’t permitted on the Continent, it’s already violating the laws of the Kingdom…”
The knight captain continued, “Those laws are for people like us; they can’t restrict these Otherworldly Lords.”
“Moreover, this person seems to have deeper connections with Viscount Lord.”
“Remember not to spread today’s matter around.”
“Although this Otherworldly Lord may not care, if any trouble comes to him because of it, we might find ourselves in grave trouble.”
The other knights immediately said solemnly, “Understood!”
…
…
Meanwhile.
After all the members of the Knight Order had left.
Cao Xing continued checking the supplies, finding no shortage in weight or quantity.
His face again showed satisfaction.
This way, he could let all his warriors achieve breakthroughs.
The Polar Person Du An asked, “Lord, do we need to move these supplies to the warehouse?”
Cao Xing shook his head, “Not for now, I still have a use for them shortly.”
