Chapter 2025: Chapter 676: New Pet—The Powerful Ice Crystal Demon Dragon

The matter that worried Cao Xing more was that Hilton and Jes’s caravan were still outside collecting food for him.

This sudden snowstorm might obstruct their actions.

If the caravan gets stuck halfway, it will delay the transportation of supplies. By the time the snowstorm ends, it will be too late to replenish the territory’s food.

Thinking about this, Cao Xing took a deep breath.

He knew he had to prepare for unforeseen circumstances and take some emergency actions.

So, Cao Xing held the communication channel by his ear and ordered, "All core combat personnel of the territory."

"Including Cao Yi, Zelco, Dahua, Yorun — all to come to the Lord Castle for a meeting."

Upon hearing Cao Xing’s command, the people in the territory were somewhat astounded.

This was the first time since the territory was established that the Lord had summoned so many people for a meeting.

However, they did not ask much and quickly took action.

Cao Xing turned to Liu Muxue beside him, "Let’s go down too."

"Alright."

The two quickly donned their war armor and equipment.

After a simple wash, they came to the first floor.

In the spacious Lord’s Hall, Cao Xing walked to the side of the [Shining Throne] and took out dozens of chairs from his backpack.

Then began placing them in order.

Soon, a meeting hall was formed.

After waiting for a moment.

Two powerful figures first pushed open the castle doors and walked in.

The first to come in were Assam and Andrew.

Seeing Cao Xing sitting on the throne and the powerful and beautiful Aurora Knight beside him.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly stepped forward, bowing respectfully.

"Respected Lord, beautiful Lord’s Wife, may you be well."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Please sit first."

The two sat down on either side.

Then, more figures walked in.

Renice, Black Smoke Shaman Blot, Wild Boar Warrior Rabb, Blood Spider Queen Xidha...

Even Giant Clan Jode Iron Frost and two new members: Bafu Heixin and Priestess Fanazi walked in.

In addition, the four staff members he named came.

When everyone gathered, more than 40 figures had accumulated in this hall.

Some sat on chairs, some stood up, and some simply plopped down on the floor.

The entire Lord Castle seemed exceedingly quiet.

Many pairs of eyes watched the man on the throne, awaiting his next instructions.

Moments later, Cao Xing slowly spoke: "The purpose of gathering everyone here today is about the snowstorm outside."

"I assume you all know the situation outside. This snowstorm is very severe and I don’t know when it will end."

"Currently, our territory has encountered some difficulties; some supplies are nearly depleted."

"Foremost is the food."

"The territory’s food can only sustain us for 5 more days."

Following Cao Xing’s words, the people on the scene exchanged looks, showing some surprise.

Most here are combat personnel. They only fight and train, never paying attention to these matters.

This was the first time they heard Cao Xing say the territory’s food was running low.

And it suddenly reduced to a level where it’s only enough for five days.

The Giant Clan Jode showed a look of guilt in his eyes.

He apologized, "Lord, it’s because Jode eats too much."

"Starting today, Jode will reduce his meal size, eating just one meal a day."

This massive figure sitting on the ground was like a small mountain, his pitiful appearance somewhat contrasting.

Cao Xing smiled, "Jode, although your appetite is large, the food scarcity isn’t your fault."

"Our territory developed too quickly and some foundations couldn’t keep up, which is the main reason."

"Currently, our territory has over 8,000 people; given daily consumption of at least 30,000 kilograms of food, at least tens of thousands of acres of fertile land are needed to support us."

"While our territory barely has 200 acres of fertile land, so it’s not your fault."

Upon hearing this, the people on the scene exchanged glances once more.

At this time, Assam took the lead and said, "Lord, please give the order, we will spare no effort to help the territory through these tough times!"

Others chimed in similarly.

"Indeed, Lord, please give the order! We will all fully cooperate with you!"

Cao Xing nodded slightly, his gaze showing a hint of gratification: "Good, there are indeed some tasks I need you to do next."

"In such snowstorm weather, visibility outside is low, and even master-level experts could get lost, unable to find direction."

"But you have all received my blessing; your strength far exceeds that of same-tier experts, and you can certainly operate under such harsh conditions."

His tone became more solemn as he said this.

"Therefore, I decided to send you out now to the Gale Snow Plain, or nearby regions to search for food."

"I will equip each of you with an anti-cold potion, and then have Allen apply a Wind Beacon on you."

"This way, even if you get lost in the storm, your location can be sensed, and rescue can be provided promptly."

After hearing this, everyone understood Cao Xing’s intention.

Their eyes showed determination.

"Lord, we will certainly fulfill our duties!" Assam responded first!

Others also held their weapons, seemingly ready to charge into the snow.

Cao Xing smiled, then took out dozens of bottles of [Anti-Cold Potion (Gold)] from his backpack.

"Now, apart from the few legendary level experts, the rest of you come here to collect potions."

"Allen, you lead them outside to apply the Wind Beacon."

"Yes, Lord!"

The group quickly took action.
