Chapter 123: Return with a full load, a high-level building that can be used to study extraordinary power (two chapters combined into one, 4800 words)
While Richard was thinking, all the rotten cavalry in front had already gotten up.
The white warg had been wrapped in a bloody bandage, but its huge size still made it particularly conspicuous, and the orc lord sitting behind him became more and more fierce against the background.
He kept the matter of recruiting heroes in mind, and made up his mind to try it in the future before withdrawing his thoughts.
He looked at the first hero recruited from the corpse in front of him.
Open the properties panel.
Baal Sharptooth
Hero Unit
[Level]: Level 5
[Potential]: D level
[Skills]: Rotting Body (Grade D, immune to poison, plague, curse, strength increased by 50%, can devour the body of non-undead life to recover from injuries after being injured)
Siamese symbiosis (special, it has become a unit with the mount and is indivisible.)
Crazy bite (D level, when biting the enemy, it can explode 200% of the power, causing armor-piercing damage)
Corrosive saliva (Grade D, saliva contains highly toxic substances and viruses, which can corrode thick armor and infect enemies, causing illness and death.)
Extremely fast charge (D level, when launching an attack, the charge speed can be instantly increased by 300% within 30 seconds.)
[Hero Talent]: When commanding a cavalry unit, increase the running speed of all cavalry by 20%.
[Racial Talent]: As long as one of the mount and knight can survive, both the mount and the knight can recover from their injuries.
[Bond - Mummy]: When the number of mummies exceeds 50, the strength increases by 30% and the speed increases by 30% (activated)
[Introduction]: A mummy hero born from a corpse.
D-class hero?
The potential recruited is one level lower than that of the Orc Lord.
But the point is that this thing can be obtained for free, and it may be mass-produced in the future. Thinking of this, Richard felt particularly happy.
Gunter's skill is amazing.
I didn't expect that a spur-of-the-moment approach could have such an effect.
Extremely satisfied.
After Baal Talon, the newly born hero, saluted Gunter, he drove the warg tightly wrapped in a bloody bandage to come to Richard, raised his chest and saluted.
"Great Master, Baal Talon sends you his kindest regards."
Although this guy was recruited by Gunter, the ownership of Barr still belongs to Richard.
Without his orders, Gaunt could not command.
He nodded and looked at the rotten cavalry.
The potential of these soldiers recruited with the support of magic power and hundreds of wolf cavalry has reached a rare 1 star, a total of 29!
This time it was a real profit.
He risked his life to get this brilliant level of military service.
The experience is completely different from these soldiers who are prostitutes for free.
Transfer the command of the Rotten Cavalry to Baal's name.
"You will be responsible for commanding this cavalry from now on."
"Great Lord, thank you for your trust. I will defend your will with my soul!"
He waved his hand and asked the other party to go down and sort out the army.
After sorting out the scene, Richard took a deep look at the circular sand dunes that looked like a spectacle.
This ruins still contains amazing wealth, and he will come again.
With a wave of his hand, sand dunes tens of meters high collapsed, splashing dust all over the sky.
Completely bury the nine bronze doors.
It is impossible for outsiders to discover it without a detailed map.
He has already marked it on the system map, so embarrassing things that he can't find will not happen.
"Return to territory."
Sooner or later, he will open all nine bronze doors.
Without any nostalgia, he turned around and left with the army.
The harvest this time has been enough. Next, we have to return to the territory to digest it and transform all these harvests into the power of Twilight City.
Moreover, the types of troops in the territory have been refreshed a few days ago. After returning, if those troops are brought out, the power in his hands will be strengthened.
More importantly, the large-scale copy at the end of the month will be launched soon.
He had no time to delay, he had to prepare for the expedition copy.
In his heart, he has been looking forward to colliding with those lord players.
I wonder what their expressions would be like when they see a brilliant 2-star heavy sword warrior?
In the army, there was only one person whose mood was extremely different.
Xina looked at the figure sitting on the shoulder of the heavy sword warrior with complicated thoughts.
The lord who only a few days ago needed the protection of the army has now grown to a powerful existence that can destroy hundreds of wolf cavalry with a wave of his hand.
She even had a strong consciousness that if she fought with the other party, she would definitely be the one who died.
The power of that disaster made her feel suffocated.
But then, strong excitement arose in my heart.
Perhaps this young man whose growth rate can be described as miraculous can really lift the seal in her body.
The loss of finding nothing in the ruins was swept away, and his eyes regained their determination.
She will not back down until the seal that has plagued the Krina for hundreds of thousands of years is broken.
May 25, noon.
The busy residents of Twilight City suddenly looked at the entrance in surprise.
"The Lord is back!!"
A cry of surprise made the entire territory boil.
This expedition to conquer the oasis was the longest period of time that Richard had ever left his territory.
He is the soul of Twilight City. Without him, the entire territory seems to be missing something.
At this time, the master of this land finally returned.
"Good day, my lord"
"My lord."
"Welcome back."
The moment they entered the territory, the surrounding residents all raised their chests and bowed excitedly.
The smile and joy on his face are absolutely not fake at all, it is the joy that comes from the heart.
Xina looked at the territory in front of her curiously.
Unlike what she had imagined, this territory was not large, and it was obviously just getting started.
But what touched her most was the smiles on the faces of the territorial residents at this moment. There seemed to be light in their eyes, and the place seemed to be full of hope and future.
She thought of Oasis City. After seeing her, the residents were respectful, but more of a fear and alienation.
This was the first time she saw the residents in the territory being so joyful from the bottom of their hearts.
She had never seen such an atmosphere even among the Krina tribe.
There is something really different about this city.
He took a deep look at the figure with a deep gaze who was the focus of everyone.
The refugees who were sent to Twilight City a few days ago also saw for the first time the original lord who forcefully sent them back to this territory.
It is really as those old residents said, deeply loved.
After the public support increased to 90, the attraction of Twilight City to outsiders has greatly increased.
Those refugees have been in the Twilight City for a few days, and are quickly integrating into this environment due to the publicity of other residents.
It seems that this city has a special charm that makes them feel particularly at ease.
"Lord Richard, your territory seems a little different."
After everyone saluted, Richard suddenly heard a burst of emotion coming from his side.
Turning around, he looked at Xina, who was full of fierce aura like a veteran of many battles, and smiled.
The other party has been fighting side by side with him for a few days, and their relationship has improved to a close level, no longer so strange.
However, there is still a long way to go before he can command each other like Gunter and Gray.
"Every city has its own soul. The soul of Twilight City may be more special and needs you to experience it carefully."
"There won't be too fierce fighting in these two days."
"There are many vacant rooms in the lord's mansion. I will have two rooms cleared out. You can live here with peace of mind."
"That's the blacksmith shop over there. Andele is responsible for the work. She is the best blacksmith in the Twilight City. If you have any needs for weapons, you can seek her advice. However, she is currently studying the upgrade of the scorpion warrior's attack. Maybe Not much time”
After the introduction, Xina's expression became much more relaxed and a smile appeared on her face.
"Sir Richard, I can just walk by myself, no need to trouble you."
He said a little coyly.
"Is this the honey you gave me last time?"
Richard laughed dumbly and pointed outside.
"That's the agricultural planting area, and the agriculture in the Twilight City is concentrated here"
Xina said as she looked in the direction of Elaeagnus angustifolia, her eyes lit up immediately.
She remembered the indescribable and exaggerated taste of the honey that Richard gave her a few days ago.
She bet it was the most delicious dessert she had ever tasted.
"Can I apply to you and go have a look?"
Richard nodded slightly, pointed at a bandaged mummy, and asked him to take Xina away.
Sure enough, no one can escape the taste of Desert Crown Honey
When Xina excitedly went to see the bees in the Elaeagnus grove, Karu came over excitedly.
"Lord Richard."
After seeing that Richard was intact, the gray-haired old man let out a sigh of relief.
The stress I had endured in the past few days was gone, and my wrinkled face became relaxed at this moment.
The whole person's energy and spirit suddenly changed.
Richard reached out and patted the other party's shoulder, and also saw that Kalu must have been under great pressure during this period.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a day off these two days. Have a good rest."
"My lord, it is an honor to serve you"
Amidst the politeness, Richard returned to the lord's mansion again after a few days.
The 30 heavy sword warriors brought back were left in the open space outside the mansion and allowed to be visited by the residents who were shouting with excitement.
Richard sat on the armchair in the center of the hall, not remembering to do anything else. After drinking two sips of the warm tea, he looked at Karu.
"Did the demographics obtained from Oasis come out?"
"There are 665 people in total, plus our original 335 residents, there are exactly 1,000 people."
After Karu finished speaking, he added.
"There are also 30 long-arm peons and 20 desert goblins, a total of 1,050 people."
The population finally exceeded one thousand.
It's not easy.
Richard sighed, trying to raise a population in the desert would cost him his life.
And to upgrade the territory, there must be enough population, which made him almost lose his temper.
"Have those residents settled down?"
“There are still quite a few gaps in the house.”
Richard felt that his thoughts were not clear enough and his tone was a little lower.
"Karu, from beginning to end, report in detail the progress of all aspects of the territory in the past few days."
Karu stood up with solemn eyes.
"Yes, Lord Richard."
"First of all, in terms of construction, we have built 30 new residential buildings, all of which have been completed."
"Some of the newly added residents of the territory live in these residential buildings, but the primary residences can only accommodate 10 people, so many of them can only stay in the barracks and in the open spaces outside."
"If we upgrade these 30 residences to mid-level residences, they will be able to meet current needs."
"But, this requires your strength."
The gods gave the lord the ability to quickly upgrade his territory, which was an unparalleled power.
He could only wait until Richard returned.
"Secondly, the stables and brewery have been completed."
"Currently, relevant talents have been selected from residents to join."
"However, there are currently no horses or camels in the stables, so they cannot be used for the time being."
"The brewery currently lacks wine recipes and production raw materials, and the food workshop currently lacks R&D talents and needs to be supplemented."
Richard raised his eyebrows.
Good guy, you really don’t have what you want.
"Where's the Elaeagnus elata forest?"
A smile appeared on Karu's face.
"The Elaeagnus elegans forest has gradually matured and will be ready for picking in a few days. The output is expected to be 80,000 units, which can provide us with a large amount of raw materials."
"By then, fruit wine can be developed using Elaeagnus angustifolia, and foods such as candied dates can also be developed, which can greatly alleviate our needs."
"Due to the influence of the desert crown bee's flowering period, the honey we took out from three nests of bees only had the minimum yield, a total of 35 units."
“Maybe it’s because there’s not enough pollen, so we haven’t found any signs of nest division yet.”
"In addition, the Flame Dragon Rabbit has begun to shed its fur, and it is expected that the harvested hair can be used to weave a blanket."
"The 42 young rabbits have grown to half the size of the adult flame dragon rabbits. The desert goblins predict that they will enter estrus next month and new cubs will be born soon."
"The 8 adult Flame Dragon Rabbits will also breed again next month. There will be 5 adult female rabbits and 30 female cubs."
"The number of flame dragon rabbits in each litter is between 8 and 12, and the time it takes for them to give birth is about a month."
"We expect to harvest hundreds of baby rabbits in mid-August"
Why are these guys so rare when they are so capable?
Seemingly sensing Richard's doubts, Karu continued.
"After the Flame Dragon Rabbit breeds to a certain number of groups, it will reduce its fertility and will not reproduce indefinitely"
Richard nodded and could only sigh that the world is so big and full of wonders.
It takes just over a month to grow from cubs to maturity, and can continue to reproduce seamlessly.
This thing can only be said to be a perfect solar charging panel. It’s amazing.
"Be sure to take protective measures. The relationship between Flame, Dragon and Rabbit is very important, and there must be no mistakes."
"Yes, my lord."
"."
The report continued for another ten minutes, and Richard also asked various questions.
After he finished asking, he had an intuitive understanding of the current situation of the territory.
Development did not come to a standstill just because he left.
This city deep in the desert is growing rapidly.
Carew, the great butler, did a great job.
After handling the trivial government affairs, Richard walked out of the lord's mansion and came to the residents' house at Karu's reminder.
There are 30 primary residences and 10 intermediate residences in front of them.
The contrast between the upgraded residences and the non-upgraded residences is still very obvious.
I took a look at the properties panel and saw that there were more than 100,000 resources.
Upgrading a primary residence to an intermediate residence requires 500 wood and 500 gold coins.
30 buildings is 15,000, 15,000, a total of 30,000 units of resources.
Not much.
After asking people to call out all the residents, directly choose to upgrade.
After a burst of yellow sand light enveloped the buildings in front of them, 30 primary residences were upgraded to intermediate residences under the exclamations of the new residents.
Including the original ten buildings, the 40 mid-level residences can accommodate 1,200 people.
At this time, there were only 1,000 people in Twilight City, which fully met the demand.
After upgrading the residential building, Richard opened the territory attribute panel in no hurry to leave.
Twilight City
[Level]: First-level small town (upgrading requires 10,000 units of gold coins, stone, wood, and iron ore each, and the three buildings have reached advanced level, with 500 residents.)
Territory upgrading has always been ranked at the back of his planning sequence. In contrast, he prefers to invest resources in military strength.
So even though he now has brilliant-level troops, his territory is still a pitiful first-level small town.
However, the player copy examines the overall strength of the territory, and it is still unknown what proportion the territory level accounts for.
To be on the safe side, the territory level must be raised.
The population required for upgrading has been met, but three high-level buildings are still lacking.
Currently, only the blacksmith shop in Twilight City is a high-level building, and two more items need to be upgraded.
After thinking for a while, I looked at the food workshop and brewery.
No hesitation.
It took two hours to upgrade these two buildings from basic to advanced.
After reaching advanced buildings, the properties of the two buildings have changed dramatically.
Richard was quite surprised.
Brewery (10 spaces)
[Level]: Advanced (upgrade requires 50,000 units of wood and 50,000 units of stone)
[Characteristics]: The wine produced from it has a 30% better taste and is more fragrant.
[Research and Development]: You can develop high-grade wine that temporarily increases your strength after drinking (needs to be activated by heroic units).
[Resident Heroes]: None
[Characteristics attached to the hero]: None
[Capacity]: Minimum 10 people, maximum 100 people
[Introduction]: Advanced breweries can develop wine with extraordinary power.
——
Food Workshop (occupies 10 spaces)
[Level]: Advanced (upgrade requires 30,000 units of iron ore, 30,000 units of wood, and 30,000 units of stone)
[Characteristics]: The taste of the food produced is improved by 30%.
[Research and Development]: Advanced food can be developed that can quickly restore physical strength after consumption (needs hero unit activation).
[Resident Heroes]: None
[Characteristics attached to the hero]: None
[Capacity]: Minimum 10 people, maximum 100 people
[Introduction]: The advanced food workshop can already develop food with extraordinary power.
"It turns out that this is the correct way to open a building! Only high-end buildings can be considered buildings!"
Richard suddenly understood why the other lords were so interested in improving the level of their territory.
The way to upgrade the territory seems to be more orthodox in the traditional sense
He seems to be a big step behind in this regard.
But Richard immediately adjusted his mood.
"I want everything that is orthodox or unorthodox!" (End of Chapter)
