Richard pondered at the lake, which had returned to its peaceful state.
He did not stay any longer and drove Alves away from the area.
After he confirmed the power of the ancient god statue, his heart considerably eased.
This weapon could fight against gods, and its value was immeasurable.
That sealed god’s kingdom would be his spoils of war sooner or later.
On their way back, Richard asked Emily to confirm–the special treasure that sealed the god’s body was no longer under the god’s attack.
The fear the ancient god statue had brought to him was honestly real.
However, this little centaur was not in a good mood on the way back. The treasure kept calling for her, but she did not have the power to use it.
Richard patted the centaur’s head.
He decided in his heart.
She had to increase her power as soon as possible.
August 9, the day that followed.
Richard woke up early.
He stood in the front yard of the Lord’s mansion and looked at the row of troop lairs. He was considerably happy–it had been seven days since the last upgrade of the troop lairs.
He did not hesitate to upgrade the three guardian mummies and ten undead troop-type lairs from elite to rare.
As the city upgraded the troop-type lairs, it upgraded all the previous elite troop-type rare troop-types.
At this point, all the troops in his hands had become rare-level.
He recruited in high spirits all the refreshed soldiers into troop-type lairs the other day.
After a series of operations, less than a million units of resources were in his hands.
At the same time, the troop strength in his hands had also reached an exaggerated level.
[Rare-Level Troop-Type…]
[Mummy Guardian 300→330]
[Axe of the Dead 270→330]
[Bandaged Mummy 42→63]
[Scorpion Warrior 64→71]
[Giant Axe Death Knight 156→177]
[Sand Condensation Archer 300→350]
[Wild Sand Mage 175→200]
[Cursed Pharaoh 35→40]
[Glorious-Level Troop-Type]
[Dark Gargoyle 200→220]
[Axe of the Dead 60→65]
[Heavy Sword Warrior 20.]
[Crown-Level Troop-Type]
[Skeleton Blood Dragon 30.]
Richard scattered the troops after the recruitment and had a few heroes level up.
At the same time, Yuan Shun also recruited blood mummies as cannon fodders.
This week was disaster week–the resurrection of the dead.
Some of the slaughtered wild monsters around Twilight City would transform into undead.
In addition, the number of undead would also increase significantly this week.
This disaster week would allow the newly recruited troops to level up quickly.
Quietly, the disaster week turned into the welfare week for Twilight City.
On the 12th of August, the troops would still level up. But they received the good news that day–the city completed the construction of the two Hurricane Arrow Towers.
The two newly built buildings formed an iron triangle with the original one and relied on each other.
Richard didn’t waste any time either. He immediately upgraded the three ordinary arrow towers to advanced ones.
The upgrade tremendously increased the attributes and the number of sand condensation archers the city can accommodate.
Once the war started, the city would station the sand condensation archers there.
The arrow towers that dealt magic damage would become a powerful source of output for Twilight City.
In addition, they placed a dragon-hunting crossbow in each of the three arrow towers.
At the same time, they equipped each with five 4-stars dragon-hunting crossbow bolts and 100 ordinary crossbow bolts.
The city significantly enhanced the Hurricane Arrow Tower’s attack power.
Besides, the production of alchemist’s bombs was also in progress.
They estimated the newly built alchemy workshop could produce 2,000 alchemy bombs before the 15th.
It was much more than the 1,500 gold he had asked Brown to give him.
In addition to the 1,700 he had left, it was more than enough to deal with a large-scale war.
On the afternoon of August 12, Richard returned to the underground world after he finished his business in the territory.
Today was the agreed trading day with Bloodhoof City.
With the cooperation from last time, the forces around Bloodhoof City had almost pulled out all their assets.
They transported several resources to Bloodhoof City. As the middleman, Bloodhoof City earned from the price difference.
Richard didn’t refuse anyone.
What made him happy was the enormous new high-grade equipment in the deal.
Therefore, the harvest was more abundant than the last time.
However, Richard did not keep all the resources and took out half of them to exchange for several rare resources from Bloodhoof City.
As a person with a growing reputation in the underground world, his words carried a thousand weight.
Bloodhoof City promised.
Richard said.
After he utilized several resources, he exchanged all four rare resources for 50,000 units.
After they completed the deal, Sel Bloodhoof, the master of Bloodhoof City, told him another piece of good news.
Ever since he released the hero recruitment order, many heroes joined.
Richard was pleasantly surprised.
Glorious-level was so helpful.
He immediately asked Sel Bloodhoof to take him to check.
However, a thin line often separated heaven and hell.
Richard had just entered the hero’s inn.
An alchemist’s bomb exploded.
The terrifying impact razed half the street to the ground.
It crushed Richard into pieces, who was in the middle of the attack.
Behind him, Sel Bloodhoof had also suffered an exaggerated injury, and he almost died.
Not a single one of the dungeon heroes who had come to seek refuge had survived.
This scene made the Bloodhoof City’s higher-ups so angry that their eyes turned red.
They immediately closed the city gates and conducted an extensive search.
The scouts were overjoyed to see Richard torn to pieces.
They immediately spread the news.
“Vice-President Richard…” He said.
Sel Bloodhoof, who used tons of precious healing medicine to save his life, lay on a stretcher and brooded on the ruins with a pale face.
“You didn’t find the body?”
His trembling voice silenced the higher-ups of Bloodhoof City.
To have such a powerful bomb explode in front of them. “Their bodies… Were there still corpses?”
A white-haired barbarian hero stood up and sighed.
“Lord Sel, that giant alchemy bomb is the most powerful in the hands of the gray-colored dwarves–the sigh of death.
“The only reason you’re still alive is the 5-stars treasure you have.
“Vice-President Richard… There’s no chance of survival.”
When everyone heard this, their hearts felt particularly heavy.
He thought he could hug the golden thigh of the surface lord.
But he didn’t expect the human overlord to die here.
Sel Bloodhoof was silent for a long time. His mood gradually dropped to the freezing point.
Suddenly, one of the barbarian warriors exclaimed.
“Lord Sel! Look!”
As soon as the barbarian warrior finished speaking, countless grains of sand slowly floated up from the ruins.
Under their gazes…
The sand grains formed a human figure.
Sel figured that familiar face.
He almost jumped into intense excitement and wanted to cry.
“Vice-President Richard!”
Richard’s face turned somewhat ugly and darkened after he regained consciousness.
He had not perceived any danger before he entered this area.
Then, a spatial fluctuation happened.
The surroundings exploded.
The gray-colored dwarves used the teleportation method to plant the alchemy bomb in.
This trick was simply impossible to guard.
“Sel, I’m fine.”
Then, everything returned to normal.
Richard turned around to look at the shipwrecked ground.
His eyes were somewhat half-hearted.
He knew the opponents would take revenge, but he didn’t expect them to use such a strategic method.
Sel said through gritted teeth.
“Those damn gray-colored dwarves. One day, Bloodhoof City will trample them to the ground!!”
They sent such a terrifying alchemist’s bomb into Bloodhoof City and let it explode outrightly under his nose, and he almost died.
Just the thought of it sent a chill down his spine.
‘What if the city Lord’s mansion had exploded today?
‘Would it also slaughter the higher-ups of Bloodhoof City?’
“Damn the gray-colored dwarves!”
Sel’s words quelled Richard’s anger.
His voice was tenebrous.
“Since they badly want me dead, I’ll grant their wish.
“Sel, you can now announce the gray-colored dwarves’ alchemy bomb crushed me into fine pieces.”
Sel stared at Richard meaningfully.
“Next, my territory will encounter a big problem. It will take a month or two. I could not deal with the gray-colored dwarves for the time being.
“Bloodhoof City. As long as we can stop the gray-colored dwarves’ attack, ” Richard said.
“When I return the next time, it will be the day we join hands and annihilate them.”
It immediately incited Sel.
“That’s right. The gray-colored dwarves don’t know about your situation now!
“We can use this information to set up a trap and get those gray-colored dwarves out of the turtle shell of Fortress City!
“As long as the opponents leave Fortress City, we’ll have a chance to wipe them out!”
Richard cut to the chase.
He told them to return and discuss how to arrange this matter and set up traps.
After Richard finished speaking, he looked around with straw pity.
More than a dozen heroes had come to seek refuge with him.
One of them even had a B-rank potential.
But now, a bomb smashed them and sent their ashes into the sky.
It was a sad and tremendous loss.
With that in mind, Richard gave the death sentence to the gray dwarves.
Initially, he did not plan to eliminate the gray-colored dwarves in such a hurry.
However, this scourge was now a serious threat to him.
The instance dungeon was about to open, so he needed some time.
He could only deal with this matter after the instance dungeon was over.
It was time for the underground world to be at peace.
A stable production area was undoubtedly more valuable to Twilight City.
Not long after, the news of the overlord’s death swept through the underground world like a hurricane.
Everyone was in disbelief when they first heard the news.
“The overlord with a bounty of 18 million food units in his head died just like that?”
It was too hard for them to accept.
The gray-colored dwarves, who accomplished this feat, also released news to confirm the authenticity of the matter.
Then, they immediately regained their domineering arrogance.
They began to attack the surrounding forces that had robbed them of their ore veins.
They reversed the decline they had previously fallen into in one fell swoop.
The underground world was once again in a stalemate.
In the eyes of the dungeon life form, the human overlord from the surface appeared to have genuinely disappeared without a trace.
Richard quietly returned to Twilight City with the profits he earned from the underworld.
The next time he went to the underground world, it would be the day he would flatten the gray-colored dwarves.
Richard was more confident than ever with twenty million ordinary resources and two hundred thousand in rare resources.
He immediately asked Adele to forge three more dragon-hunting crossbows and 15 dragon-hunting crossbow bolts.
Adele didn’t disappoint him. She finished forging the weapon on the morning of the 15th.
They equipped the three Hurricane Arrow Towers with two 4-stars dragon-hunting crossbows.
At the same time, they equipped each with five dragon-hunting crossbows.
Its damage to high-level bosses had increased significantly.
Richard wasn’t in a hurry to use the twenty million he earned.
They quietly waited to enter the instance dungeon.
They saved these resources for emergency use.
Since they didn’t know the situation of the instance dungeon, they could play it safe.
August 15 at 11 am.
Richard stood on the city wall with his troop that earnestly waited.
His face revealed a look of anticipation.
The entire territory would enter the instance dungeon and face the monster attacks from the other dimensions.
It has already engrossed him just the thought of it.
Of course, the premise was that he could spend points to revive in the dungeon.
Without this resurrection mechanism, the tens of billions of players would not have such a good attitude.
It was unquestionably a prodigious feat for more than ten billion people to enter the same instance dungeon.
However, the territories of these people could occupy an enormous amount.
“Lord Richard, everything is ready.”
Officer Karu stood beside him and reported respectfully.
“The residents have all returned to their rooms other than the working staff.
“At the same time, we have assigned everyone to the reserve force. If there is a need, we can dispatch immediately to assist.
“In addition, we prepared enough dry food for everyone in the territory to eat for a month.
“There’s no need to waste time cooking.
“In terms of weapons, we have distributed pieces of equipment you brought back from the underground world to the residents. Although most are unusable, we could use them as temporary combat forces.”
Richard nodded in satisfaction.
Twilight City had been extremely well-prepared to enter the dungeon during this period.
The people’s livelihood, the troop, the city’s defense, food, water… He was ready for whatever he could think.
He has no idea how long he would have to stay in this instance dungeon.
Although the residents couldn’t fight, they could be responsible for production, construction, and maintenance.
“You can go down first and patrol the area for a while. We’ll be heading to another dimension in an hour.
“Yes, my Lord.”
Richard opened the player forums after Karu left.
As they approached the dungeon, these idiots were also excited.
[Hehehe. I’ve been preparing for this dungeon for a month. You guys were lucky previously when I only asked for a million people. This time, you’ll tremble in fear under my praise!]
[This is the undead disaster. In terms of other aspects, the undead might not be the best, but aren’t we grandpas in the city defense? The corpses of the monsters that attacked the city are the best source of soldiers. This kind of battle is simply a dream for the undead…]
[In terms of city defense, are undead even worthy of being compared to the fortress race? Trash…]
[Brothers, remember, whoever meets that pervert Qingqiu this time, you must report your coordinates!]
[Big guys, how are we going to play this instance? Can anyone give a suggestion?]
[Caw! Caw! Caw! Eagle cutesie, please take care of me!]
