Chapter 1566: Chapter 527: Deploying Troops and Assigning Personnel

"In addition to dealing with these eleven strong figures at the headquarters, I can also handle ten outposts," Cao Xing replied swiftly.

Upon hearing this number, Kro was initially shocked, and then a look of uncertainty appeared in his eyes.

Because, even with the kingdom’s forces, to securely handle one outpost, they would need to dispatch at least one or two leaders above the sixth tier, and two to three thousand elite soldiers.

Ten outposts, that means at least ten master-level strong people.

If it’s true, this Otherworldly Lord’s power is truly unimaginably terrifying!

"Are you sure, Lord Cao Xing?" Kro asked with a tone of disbelief.

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

After getting his personal confirmation, a tumultuous wave arose in Kro’s heart.

But he also knew that Cao Xing wouldn’t boast or exaggerate on such matters.

Kro nodded solemnly and said, "If you can handle ten outposts, that would be even better."

"This way, we won’t need to seek help from allies."

In fact, Kro’s initial plan was for Cao Xing to help deal with just five outposts.

This way, it would relieve the majority of the pressure on the Ice Crystal Kingdom.

Now, with Cao Xing taking on ten outposts, the success rate of the operation skyrocketed.

Cao Xing, with a light smile, asked, "General Kro, if we are to take action, can I choose the outposts myself?"

"Of course you can, His Majesty the King also instructed me to let you choose yourself."

Kro quickly took out a hand-drawn map from his backpack.

"Here, Lord Cao Xing, this is the location of all the Bright Church divisions and outposts that we have information on. Take a look."

Cao Xing’s face again displayed a faint smile as he quickly took it over.

[Obtained: Unknown Map]

He unfolded it.

It instantly revealed a scroll depicting various terrains.

Outside the Ice Crystal Kingdom Border, there were endless mountain ranges and some rarely visited no man’s lands.

In these areas, every interval had a black ’X’ mark.

These ’X’ marks should indicate the locations of Bright Church outposts.

Nearby forests, villages, and even rivers had such marked symbols.

In one continuous mountain range, there was the largest mark.

This place should be the location of the Bright Church headquarters!

Cao Xing’s eyes flickered, fitting his expectations; the Bright Church headquarters’ location was outside the border.

However, the location was quite hidden, and only a Legendary Strongman like the Old King could find it.

Moreover, Cao Xing also discovered that the four outposts Heli and the others previously found were not on the map.

It seems that area is indeed an important outpost of the Bright Church, explored by none other than the Old King.

After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing quickly made his choice.

He marked ten outposts on the ground that were relatively close to the Ice Crystal Kingdom Border.

"General Kro, I have made my choice."

Kro took the map and looked at the ten outpost locations he indicated.

Nodding slightly, he said, "No problem, the outposts selected by Lord Cao Xing are very concentrated."

"So shall we... set off immediately?"

Cao Xing shook his head, "We need to wait a bit."

"This place is quite far from the kingdom border, and the teleportation array can’t transport so many troops quickly."

"Therefore, I need to arrange for the members in the territory to set out in advance."

Kro understood and said, "I was inconsiderate."

Cao Xing smiled, "No worries."

"General Kro, please wait here in my territory today."

"I’m going to arrange the combat personnel now."

"No problem."

Replied the general cheerfully.

Then, Cao Xing walked out of the tavern.

As for Kro, he was left to continue waiting in the tavern.

After all, there were some matters in Cao Xing’s territory that were not suitable to disclose to this Kingdom General.

At least, without having enough strength, they couldn’t let the Ice Crystal Kingdom know all of Cao Xing’s background.

Although the Old King had a good character, it’s necessary to be cautious!

If he feared Cao Xing’s power and felt he had the ability to threaten the Kingdom, and then decided to use a demigod artifact against them, that’d be trouble!

...

...

Meanwhile, Cao Xing swiftly left the tavern, pressing against the communication device on his ear.

"Bojie, Xiao, stop searching for wild Ice Nests now, bring back all combat personnel."

Originally, as per his development plan, today he was prepared to handle Ice Nests and then search for a territory for Tian Jing.

But now, these matters can be postponed.

Destroying the Bright Church is the most important.

Meanwhile, the two strong figures carrying out the combat tasks outside were puzzled by Cao Xing’s order.

But they said nothing and instead quickly led their men toward the territory.

Cao Xing also headed to the Mechanical Factory, where he found the goblin at work.

"Rock, how many [Long-Distance Communication Devices] have been made since my last instruction?"

This goblin was initially quite annoyed when interrupted at work.

Upon seeing Cao Xing, he immediately grinned, "Lord, these communication devices are complex and troublesome to make."

"However, with our relentless efforts, we have made over three hundred so far!"

Upon hearing this number, Cao Xing nodded satisfactorily.

Although not every individual could be equipped, it was entirely enough for the upcoming action.
