Nicholas IV chose his words carefully.
After all, the Northern Land was Bai Xiaowen's territory, so he used the word "urge" instead of "order" in the hope that Bai Xiaowen would cooperate.
Of course, the Northern Expedition would also be of great benefit to the Northern Land. Nicholas IV was not worried that Bai Xiaowen would hold him back.
This time, Bai Xiaowen spent two days to return to Earth.
Now that the basic threat in the Northern Land had been mostly eliminated, and masters from various industries had settled in and were on the right track, Cecilia could finally return to Earth regularly.
Cecilia conveyed the latest news of the Cain Plane.
White Stone Hill worked overtime to produce a large number of ultimate plague nemeses.
Viscount Dennis gave up all the cumbersome supplies, including spare military supplies, and only let the soldiers carry their military equipment and armor. They pulled hundreds of large wooden barrels and embarked on the Northern Expedition.
The Empire used White Stone Hill as a transit station, constantly sending supplies to ensure that Viscount Dennis's supplies could be maintained.
One thing needed to be clear. Bai Xiaowen had already ordered that the Empire's supplies would not be taken. He had dealt with the Emperor many times and knew how to act appropriately.
White Stone Hill was also constantly producing new barrels of ultimate plague nemeses, which were transported along with the supplies of the army.
The Holy Light Priests from the Imperial Capital also participated in the Northern Expedition. Cardinal Arlo was the leader of this group of priests.
The Imperial Army's Northern Expedition did not encounter any decent resistance. On the contrary, the dangerous natural environment caused more casualties.
In the end, the Imperial Army chased the enemies in the Northern Land to a place called the "Abyss Breach." This was another passage between the Underground World and the Surface World, similar to the Bosuvius Gold Mine Passage in the Xisha Province.
As the Empire was not familiar with the Underground World, they had no plans to conquer it. Cardinal Arlo cooperated with Viscount Dennis to seal the Abyss Breach.
At this point, the Northern Land was safe, and the Gorse Empire no longer had any external threats. They could rest assured and reorganize their internal affairs and promote reforms.
…
"This situation is the most advantageous for us."
Bai Xiaowen spoke with assurance to his teammates. Beside him, Xiaojun also listened.
"We have territory in Kane. In the short term, the unification of the Cain Dimension is not in our interest. We don't know what will happen to the territory after the unification, but the most likely outcome is that the territory will be remodeled and the ownership will no longer belong to me. "
"That's why I hid the detailed map of the Underground World Military Department that I got from Matriarch Cynthia."
"Of course, Nicholas IV might not be willing to send troops to the underground world even if we hand over the map. After all, the Gorse Empire still has a lot of internal problems. He wants to focus on reform and turn this country into a powerful empire with centralized power."
When Xiao Jun heard this, she raised her hand and said, "Brother, according to what you said, Nicholas IV is a man of great talent and vision. He must be constantly thinking about the underground world. After the reformation of the Empire is completed and the Empire becomes stronger, he should still launch a war against the Underground World. "
"Well said."
Bai Xiaowen nodded approvingly. "But that will be a matter of at least a few years later. We can rely on the territory and the shops to make huge profits. Moreover, even if the Kane Plane is to be unified, it should be done by our people. Only we can enjoy the benefits of the unification of the Kane Plane! "
"The matter in the North has come to an end. We can finally let Sister Sai stay here and prepare for the league. The playoffs against the Lonely Hearts Battle Team will start in two days, "Li Shuyi said.
"Well, let's open the treasure chests dropped by the higher-ups of the Remnant Army first and see how lucky we are."
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, and three gold treasure chests appeared.
As for the other silver treasure chests, they had been opened in advance, so there was not much to be gained.
In view of the powerful strength of the White Phoenix Battle Team and the influence of the plague's nemesis drug on the higher-ups of the Remnant Army, these three gold treasure chests were graded C, so they would not be left empty.
Li Shuyi, Xiao Jun, and Cecilia each drew one.
Li Shuyi drew the treasure chest of Cridan the Skull-Cutter. It contained a hideous necklace made of skulls. It was called [Cridan's Skull Necklace]. It was a gold equipment and bound when picked up. It added 3 points of Dexterity and the "White Bone Shield" skill.
[White Bone Shield: After active activation, summon four layers of bone shields to surround oneself. The next four attacks received will be reduced by 40%. Cooldown time is 12 hours.]
The skull necklace was not bad, but the design was too hideous. Li Shuyi was determined not to take it. She had the more powerful Invincible Slash and the Void Ring, so she did not need the additional defensive skill of the White Bone Shield.
Unfortunately, the equipment requirement was too high, so Xiao Jun could not use it. Han Xu could not use it because the parts of the King of the Deep set occupied the necklace slot.
In the end, the skull necklace was given to Cecilia. She still needed a piece of Dexterity equipment with defensive characteristics.
Xiao Jun also drew a gold equipment, and it was a weapon: the giant hammer used by the Orc Warlord, Gatman the Crusher.
[Shattered Bones (Bound when picked up)]
[Equipment Grade: Hero (Gold)]
[Equipment Requirement: Base Strength 40]
[Equipment Position: Two-handed]
[Attribute: Additional Attack Power 18-43]
[Additional Skill: Crush: Passive. For every successful hit, there is a 0 – 15% chance of crushing the target directly and a 0 – 45% chance of inflicting a crippling effect. The higher the Strength of the wielder and the lower the Physique of the target, the higher the chance of triggering.]
[Durability: 37/45]
[Description: There are still remnants of steel and flesh on the Shattered Bones Hammer.]
"Tsk … This Crush passive doesn't say 'trigger with normal attacks,' right?" Bai Xiaowen sucked in a cold breath. "That means it can be triggered with skills. If it's used with AoE skills like Cleave or Whirlwind Slash, it's quite overpowered. "
"Soldier Death Weapon."
"Premium gold."
His teammates gave their comments one after another.
"What a pity. This is such a good piece of Gold equipment, and it's the favorite of Violent Warriors. No one in our team fits the requirements." Bai Xiaowen sighed.
"Wait a minute," Qiao Rui said. "If we're talking about a strength-type warrior … Isn't there one?"
Everyone looked at Xiaojun with a strange expression.
Xiao Jun looked confused.
"This … She has to be at least Level 7 to use this hammer, right? The requirements are too high. "Bai Xiaowen shook his head.
If the 10 free attribute points were added to Strength, she could use it two levels earlier. However, it was definitely not wrong to add Physique in the early stages.
In order to use the Shattered Bones Hammer two levels earlier, if she didn't add Physique, Xiao Jun would only be able to use less than 100 HP to explore the Spiritual Realm (if she wasn't fighting solo and didn't have the double bonus from the Battle of Glory). The margin for error was too low.
"Not necessarily," Qiao Rui said. "Xiao Jun's foundation is very solid. She hasn't used any strengthening potions yet, right? The top-notch strength potions at the Awakened stage can add 5 Strength points per bottle. She should be able to take three bottles, right? In addition, she can also collect precious meat from mutated beasts to eat. Accumulated meat can add 10 Attribute points. She'll choose strength-type precious meat. This way, Xiao Jun will be able to equip this hammer around Level 3. "
"Yeah, Awakened people level up very quickly in the early stages," Li Shuyi agreed.
"The only pity is that the hammer is bound when picked up. Xiao Jun isn't a member, so she can't use it directly. However, it's just a matter of using a Golden Beeswax. "Qiao Rui waved his hand domineeringly." It's decided … Captain, what do you think? "
"Oh, okay." Bai Xiaowen nodded.
