Alves fell into a long slumber after it devoured the golden dragon soul.
Alves was expected to wake up in a month, but it had been delayed until now.
Richard was in a good mood. He brought the surprised Karu to the backyard.
The size of the Lord’s mansion also increased significantly with the upgrade of Twilight City.
In the spacious backyard, a terrifying existence that looked like an ancient mythical creature appeared before him.
The golden skeleton had a faint crimson color that flew on it and made it look extraordinary.
The crimson power outside was like a fire ignited with gasoline and burned more than ten meters high.
It directly corroded the surrounding flowers and trees into charcoal by that power. Living beings were not allowed to approach.
One could see the burning golden soul fire from its hollow eyes.
Its wingspan exceeded 40 meters. Just standing there without moving gave people suffocating pressure.
No one could imagine how this terrifying creature would go berserk. And what kind of soul-crushing damage it would cause.
Alves turned slightly and looked at Richard when it sensed its appearance.
This terrifying existence stepped forward and humbly knelt on the ground.
“Lord.”
He could sense how terrifying Alves was before he even checked its attributes.
He opened the other party’s attribute panel with anticipation (you can check the detailed attributes in the previous chapter).
A series of exceptionally luxurious attribute skills pleasantly surprised Richard.
Not only had Alves reached level 15, but all of its skills had also reached Beyond A-rank.
[1. Blood Breath, 2. Golden Body, 3. Golden Dragon’s Might, 4. Blood Power, 5. Golden Dragon’s Fury, 6. Void Shattering Dragon Claw, 7. Berserk Wings]
A total of seven Beyond A-rank skills. This was simply a crime.
“How powerful was that golden dragon soul before? All Beyond A-rank skills No, it’s also because of the tens of thousands of dark crystals.”
Alves’s current state amazed Richard.
He felt that Alves could even fight the dark valkyrie now
There would be a significant increase in all aspects of his attributes after it reached level 15. This undead dragon that had only become a hero after it devoured ancient dragon crystal had become a skeleton blood dragon coupled with the golden dragon soul inheritance.
Finally, Alves stood at an extremely high position.
Richard had many heroes who had evolved from the troop; Gray, Gunter, and Alves were all heroes.
However, Alves was undoubtedly far ahead of them.
“I feel like I have endless power now…”
“My dragon breath and my body are more than ten times stronger than level 14.”
Richard nodded in satisfaction.
“Very good, you woke up at the right time. We need to go to Solan City.”
Richard flew on his own without Alves. This was his mount.
The ferocious aura on its body immediately dissipated when Alves heard the word Solan City.
It gradually regained some clarity.
It had experienced the horror outside the city, although he had not entered it last time.
It still couldn’t do anything before Solan City, even though it was countless stronger now
The golden flames danced in the empty eye sockets.
It could ignore that city one day with its great lord around!
It respectfully agreed as it suppressed the swelling because of the battle strength increase.
“As you wish, Lord.”
Richard nodded and turned to look in another direction. Land of quicksand.
It was unknown when the god’s ancient tree would wake up.
He was looking forward to how powerful this boss, who activated the power of the god’s ancient tree in its body, would become.
Richard retracted his thoughts, turned around, and ordered Karu to recruit all the troops for the next two weeks.
The three types of soldiers that he valued the most, the stone statue of the dead, the sandstorm controller, and the scorpion warriors with glorious level attack technology, had their numbers increased again.
[Stone Statue of the Dead: 1,250]
[Sandstorm Controller: 700]
[Scorpion Warrior: 694]
These three troops were the pillars of Twilight City now.
Richard took away 16 teams of skeleton blood dragons, eight squadrons of stone statues of the dead, and five squadrons of sandstorm controllers after he pondered.
The rest of the troops stayed in Twilight City.
He focused on the news about the Dune LordHyena had mentioned.
He might have to go deep into the desert to find the Dune Lord after he learned about the Crimson Moon from Windsor during his trip to Solan City.
His mission to level up to 15 was arduous.
Richard summoned Gunter and Gray after he assembled the troop.
He could grant his subordinates the authority to recruit troops after the system upgraded Twilight City to middle city.
The soldiers the lord recruited were still absolutely loyal to him.
He had concerns before, so he did not give this authority. It could delay him for a long time. It would be a pity to waste a few weeks of production if he did not make it in time.
Richard made this clear to the two mummy heroes while he pondered. Then, he delegated the authority to recruit soldiers to these two mummy heroes who were loyal to him.
He could also remove their authority at any time if there were any accidents.
He also added he would prioritize the recruitment of the stone statue of the dead and the sandstorm controller.
He could postpone it if the other troops lacked resources.
Richard summoned Karu and told him to arrange the planting of frost grass after he delegated the authority.
Richard didn’t delay any longer after he made a series of arrangements. He prepared to set off as he gazed at the millstone-sized moon above his head.
However, at this moment, a private message notification suddenly sounded in his ear.
Frowning slightly, He waved his hand to stop the troop. He sparingly frowned and opened the private message.
[Hyena: Boss Qingqiu, this is a crucial matter. The lord of dunes robbed a merchant group of an Earl in Solan City Vital treasures were in that merchant association. That Earl has already gathered five squadrons of soldiers and headed to the desert.]
[The Earl has also gathered the players to go with him. This is an A-rank mission. Do you want to go and take a look?]
“A-rank mission?”
Richard raised an eyebrow.
A strong sense of vigilance rose in his heart. Danger filled his missions based on previous encounters, although the A-rank mission wasn’t remarkable as the S-rank mission. He could quickly fail if he weren’t careful.
‘What was the background of that Dune Lord?’
Richard still replied to Hyena after he pondered.
[Qingqiu: I’m preparing to go to Solan City. I expect to arrive tomorrow afternoon or evening.]
[Qingqiu: Be careful. An A-rank mission is dangerous. It’s best to keep a certain distance from the main force. You’d give up some credit to ensure your safety.]
The words have extremely touched Hyena.
[Hyena: Boss Qingqiu, don’t worry, we know what to do.]
Richard flew out of Twilight City with his troop after he instructed Hyena to report to him if a problem arose.
The skeleton blood dragon and the stone statue of the dead were both flying units, and the sandstorm controller was not bad either. This unit that combined two powerful spellcasting units had a very soul-crushing skill–Sandstorm Transformation.
It was also the source of the name of this troop.
The skill Richard valued the most was one he could indefinitely use whenever there was magic.
They only consumed 5 points of magic per second when the enemies attacked. They could recover more than 10 points per second.
It covered consumption.
Richard sat behind Alves, who had a more than the forty-meter wingspan. The moon was above his head, and an endless sea of sand was below him.
The skeleton blood dragon burned with blood-colored power and flew with him.
In the end, a large group of stone statues of the dead orderly marched. Their wings, which seemed to be carved from rock, flapped and made a whistling sound.
The thing that shocked them the most was
A sandstorm that could make any living being in the desert tremble was mixed in with this vast troop.
It flew wildly.
However, the sandstorm did not cause any damage to the soldiers inside. Instead, it increased their flying speed.
This scene looked like a scene from a myth. And it had a potent visual effect.
November 11th, 8 AM.
The sun rose from the yellow sand. Its orange color made it look like a furnace fire that ignited the world.
Richard glanced at it. They were still four to five hundred kilometers away from Solan City after a whole night of flying.
He was happy. The overall speed of the troop exceeded 500 kilometers with the support of the sandstorm controller.
This also allowed him to discover another practical use of the sandstorm controller.
They would greatly help him transport goods even if he didn’t use them in battle in the future.
Richard was about to ask Alves to speed up but suddenly paused and opened his private message.
[Hyena: Boss Qingqiu, it’s over. It’s all over. The Dune Lord ambushed the Earl’s troop and wiped it out The Earl died tragically on the spot.]
[That’s a level 19 hero. Although I can’t see its potential, it’s definitely above B-rank. It’s even possible that it’s A-rank.]
[It slayed more than half of the players who followed them. The rest are still being defeated.]
[Fortunately, we listened to you and stayed 20 kilometers from the main troop. That’s why they couldn’t surround us.]
Richard raised an eyebrow. He had just said he would eliminate the Dune Lord last night, and it wiped the enemies out overnight. Was the lord too strong, or was the Earl too weak?
[Qingqiu: Did you see the Dune Lord? How strong is he?]
[Hyena: No, we only saw a giant condensed from yellow sand appear. That giant led three large groups of level 15 soldiers and destroyed the Earl of Solan’s troop in one wave.]
[It’s too terrifying. That yellow sand giant killed a level 19 Earl.]
[Boss Qingqiu, it’s best to go straight to Solan City. I can sense the current players could not deal with this.]
[Maybe it’s another large-scale mission]
Richard thought for a moment and replied.
[Qingqiu: Send me the coordinates first.]
Hyena did not dare to delay and immediately shared the coordinates.
Richard imported the system map and was surprised to find that it was less than a hundred kilometers away from him.
This distance was only a matter of ten to twenty minutes for the flying troops.
He did not hesitate and immediately changed direction after he comforted Hyena. He led the leading troop toward the coordinates.
A group of three to five scattered soldiers appeared in his line of sight ten minutes after.
A few players were still in shock.
They were not far from the battlefield.
They sped up in the opposite direction of the fleeing soldiers. A terrifying roar suddenly resounded in the sky in less than five minutes.
Richard turned toward the direction of the voice.
A giant condensed from yellow sand roared in the sky.
The other party’s body was more than 30 meters tall. It stood in the desert. It was like an ancient demon god.
