Chapter 173: Storming the troops and transforming the big devil (3900 words, plus the second update)
Ander didn't quite understand what this meant. Richard looked at the girl's confused look and didn't say much on this issue.
Back to topic.
"This mechanical puppet has extremely powerful energy and can swallow the surrounding materials to automatically repair itself."
"The most important thing is rare resources, plus the unique ore of the underground world-mithril."
"You can also do additional research on this."
The restoration of the Extraordinary Hunter requires a large amount of rare resources. The few resources he has now are not even enough to fill the gaps in his teeth.
And without mithril, there is no hope of repairing it.
Andel nodded and said seriously.
"I will work hard, Lord Richard."
After the two communicated for a while, Richard took out the two 4-star drawings of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow and the Dragon Hunting Crossbow.
"Andele, this is the blueprint of the dragon hunting crossbow. This weapon will be of great help to us now. Can you forge it?"
Andel reluctantly put away the drawings of the Extraordinary Hunter, took the two new drawings, and after looking at them for a few times, her eyes curled up.
He was eager to try.
"Compared to that perfect mechanical puppet, these two drawings seem to be more suitable for me now."
As he spoke, he became more confident again.
"Master Richard, as long as you provide enough materials, I can forge it."
"But this may take half a month."
Richard nodded with satisfaction.
This is a 4-star drawing.
After being promoted to a special blacksmith, things are really different.
However, the other party's words made him feel helpless.
Materials required to build a dragon-hunting crossbow: 5000 units of mercury, 5000 units of sulfur, 5000 units of crystal, 1000 units of fine iron, the fascia of a level 15 or higher dragon or a hybrid dragon, and a special blacksmith.
He is poor.
"Forging requires hundreds of units of refined iron. You start smelting the refined iron first. I will get the remaining materials back as soon as possible."
Andiel nodded, excitement rising in her eyes again.
Making high-end equipment is a rare enjoyment for her.
After speaking, Richard said seriously again.
"But before you start working, you need to rest for three days. You are not allowed to step into the blacksmith shop within three days."
The girl with huge dark circles under her eyes still wanted to argue, but was suppressed by his ruthless eyes, so she could only respond in a depressed manner.
Richard put away the Extraordinary Hunter first, and it would not be too late to bring it to the girl in a few days after she has rested.
Then he and Andele left the blacksmith shop, and during the process they specifically told the guard that Andele was not allowed to come back in the next two days.
This cut off Andele's little plan to come back tomorrow, and she could only go back to rest dejectedly.
After returning to the lord's mansion, Richard seemed to have thought of something. With a wave of his hand, the 11 sandworm eggs placed in the corner were once again lifted up by the gravel.
These eggs are brought back when you leave the instance.
But it was still a month away from hatching, so he wasn't that concerned.
"It seems they have to be covered with gravel"
After thinking about it, he went straight to the backyard of the lord's mansion.
Drop the sandworm eggs in a corner.
Then the residents outside suddenly saw countless gravel flying into the sky outside the territory and pouring into the lord's mansion.
This picture is full of visual impact.
The new residents were greatly shocked and curiously asked the people around them what it was.
The old residents began to proudly preach about Richard's previous great achievements.
Especially in the sky above the Elaeagnus elata forest, the feat of suffocating hundreds of venom flying dragons in one fell swoop was even more hyped.
After the public support reaches 90, residents will spontaneously and heartily promote the greatness of Twilight City and Richard to newcomers.
Most of the new residents settled in this environment.
When everyone around them is saying that the territory is good, the lord is great, and the territory is indeed good to them.
No matter how strong the resistance is, it will disintegrate in a week or two.
The power of the people is unlimited.
Richard didn't pay attention to these trivial things and allowed the sandworm eggs to be covered with a thick layer of gravel.
I felt relieved when I felt that the life breath of the insect eggs had not changed much.
Work hard, little guys, you will be the most powerful delivery vehicles in Twilight City from now on.
When the time comes, I will make a cool desert giant wheel for you, and you can take it to play with if you have nothing to do.
After expressing the capitalist's expectations, he summoned two teams of guardian mummies and asked them to guard here at all times.
Now all we have to do is wait for these giants to hatch.
After dealing with the sandworms, Richard seemed to have thought of something and took out the ancient dragon crystal from the system space.
This was the reward given to him by Ferguson after completing the A-level mission.
Can transform the skeletal blood dragon into a heroic unit.
But Ferguson also specifically mentioned that the transformation process requires a lot of flesh and blood, otherwise the potential may be reduced.
Richard rubbed it for a moment but then put it back.
There is no time to get so much flesh and blood now, and you also need to exchange the hunting income into resources to recruit troops.
It can only be postponed.
By evening, the three heroes who went hunting brought back a large amount of prey.
This is because resource points and field troop gathering areas are refreshed every Monday.
This month there is no army to clean up around the Twilight City, so the harvest is particularly rich.
However, Richard did not let them stop there and continued hunting in the night.
They are all undead beings, with dark gargoyles as eyes, and they are not afraid of encountering too powerful enemies.
Richard was not idle either, and he also participated in scanning the map with an army.
Starting in the evening, we returned three times in one night with abundant prey.
The prey brought back from each trip can be exchanged for nearly 70,000 to 80,000 units of resources.
This is after being charged a 30% handling fee, otherwise you could earn even more.
The next morning, Monday, July 1st.
The hunt continues.
The troop nests will only be refreshed at eight o'clock every Monday night. He still has more than ten hours.
The army is also moving further and further away.
From early morning to dusk, the surrounding military gathering areas had been cleared, which brought him 300,000 units of resources.
After two days and one night of hunting, the total resources of 200,000 units on Richard's attribute panel soared to 900,000.
He was quite pleased with this.
Finally I have some food left over.
However, he could also see clearly that this was the amount accumulated from not cleaning up the military gathering areas for a month.
It is impossible for him to have so much prey for him to clean up every day, and a short-term harvest will not affect his long-term plan.
At this time, we have a lot of resources and can finally launch a violent attack.
The next plan, whether it is to eliminate the threat of the flying dragon, find the entrance to the underground world, hunt the ancient tree of evil, or continue to explore the ancient ruins.
Nothing can be done without the power of the military.
The first ones chosen by Richard were two rare-level troop nests.
Rare 3 stars, Ax of the Dead, number available for recruitment: 10, resources required, 120,000 units
Rare 3-star, dark gargoyle, number available for recruitment: 40, resources required, 280,000, 200 gems.
Without hesitation, 400,000 units of resources were consumed to recruit them all.
After the recruitment was completed, the total number of Axes of the Dead in his hand reached 35.
The total number of dark gargoyles reached 100, which was exactly one squadron.
After this round, there are still more than 500,000 resources left in hand.
After thinking about it, he recruited all 14 poisonous scorpion warriors, bringing the total to 48, consuming more than 10,000 resources.
Cursed Pharaoh, number of recruits: 10 - total number: 20, consumes 12,000 units of resources
The remaining Sand Archers can be recruited: 100, and the current number is 100.
Great Ax Death Knight, number available for recruitment: 42, current number 42.
Richard did not recruit again.
If we recruit any more, we won't have enough resources.
Moreover, the current numbers of these two arms are barely enough, so let them go.
He thought for a moment and took out the 15 troop nests that he had redeemed with points.
10 Elite Axes of the Dead.
5 rare-level Kuangsand Mage.
All built.
10 elite levels consume 12,000 units of resources and are successfully constructed.
Number of recruits - 100 Axes of the Dead, each consuming 120 units of resources, consuming a total of 12,000 units.
Five rare-level Kuangsha Mage lairs were successfully constructed using 60,000 units of resources.
The number that can be recruited - 50 Kuangsha Mages, each with 1,200 units of resources, totaling 56,000 units.
After such recruitment, there are still more than 370,000 resources left in hand.
Richard made no further moves, and at eight o'clock in the evening, the system prompt sounded on time.
"Ding~ The troop nests have been refreshed. Please recruit on your own, lords."
"Ding~ This week is storm week, please pay attention to precautions."
Stormy week?
Richard felt it was quite novel, but one of his lord talents seemed to be that storms would avoid his territory?
Quite useful
Without thinking too much, he reopened the troop lair. Sure enough, all the troops he had just recruited had been refreshed.
Richard continued to recruit as before.
Rare 3-star, Ax of the Dead, available for recruitment: 5, resources required: 60,000 units, total after recruitment: 40
Rare 3-star, dark gargoyle, recruitable quantity 20, required resources 140,000, 100 gems, total number after recruitment: 120
Poisonous Scorpion Warrior, Cursed Pharaoh, Elite Ax of the Dead, and Kuangsha Mage have all been recruited
After the second round of recruitment, he still had 130,000 units of resources left.
After such recruitment.
The strength of the army in his hands soared again.
Although there are still several units that have not been recruited, he has recruited three weeks of production for the most important unit.
Richard opened the unit panel and looked at it carefully.
The elite 3-star level troops include - Mummy Guardians, total number: 150
Axes of the Dead, Total: 150
The resources in his hand are no longer enough to upgrade 10 elite-level Axes of the Dead to rare levels, so he might as well leave them alone for now.
Wait until the resources are sufficient and then upgrade.
The rare 3-star level has the largest number of troops.
Bandaged mummies, total: 51
Scorpion Warriors, Total: 55
Cursed Pharaoh, Total: 25
Sand Archers, Total: 100
Greataxe death knight, total: 42
Kuangsha Mage, total: 75
Rare levels are the backbone, with a total of 348 in total.
The rare 3-star ones are——
Dark Gargoyles, Total: 120
Axes of the Dead, Total: 40
At the Brilliant level, there is currently no unit nest to recruit, but three teams of Brilliant 1-star heavy sword warriors were obtained in the ancient ruins.
Plus skeletal blood dragons recruited from the corpses of Templar Dragoons.
This is the entire army he currently has.
Excluding the 150 guardian mummies who could only protect the territory, the total number of troops totaled 656.
Over 65 squads, 6 and a half squadrons.
Moreover, the quality of the army is extremely high. They are all elite forces carefully selected by him, and they can burst out with powerful combat effectiveness.
At this time, Richard's mentality had completely adjusted from the copy.
Although he has commanded a battle involving tens of thousands of high-level troops of levels 10 to 14.
But those are all false and have nothing to do with him.
The power of Twilight City is the power that truly belongs to him.
What pleased him most was that the number of dark gargoyles had reached 12 teams.
This air cavalry has extremely high strategic value.
In "Glory Era", the number of flying troops is the smallest and the most rare.
It is much smaller than the number of spell casters. It has always been an important force in the army, and its priority is even higher than that of spell casters.
There is no need to say more about the importance of air superiority.
It can almost determine the direction of a war.
The production of dark gargoyles is as many as 10 per week, which makes him very satisfied.
In the future, if you have sufficient resources, you must first upgrade the Dark Gargoyle Lair to the Brilliant Level.
After recruiting the army, Richard suddenly seemed to think of something.
The five great demon corpses obtained previously were taken out from the hidden soldier card.
This was something he got by fishing in troubled waters when he took away the blood of the holy dragon from the siege of demons and angels in the dungeon.
After he escaped, he left Gunter in the lake and never had a chance to use it.
Unfortunately, the corpses of the two Templar Dragoons he had hidden at the bottom of the lake in order to escape were eventually discovered by angels.
Gunter didn't bring it back.
However, these five corpses of great demons were a real harvest, and they were worth it.
He looked at the two mummy heroes.
Both of these guys now have the ability to recruit mummy troops.
It was a realization of what he had been thinking about before entering the dungeon.
"Gray, Gunter, you summon the corpses of these five great demons into mummy troops."
"Yes, Master."
The two of them immediately responded respectfully, then walked up to the big demon and started casting spells at the same time.
Gray's body was filled with blue magical energy, exuding a bit of the coldness of the dead.
Gunter's body was filled with bloody power, like a corpse walking out of a mountain of bones and a sea of bones, giving people a creepy feeling of fear.
All of a sudden.
The majestic power surges.
Five large demon bodies with a height of 5 meters began to rot and collapse, revealing pale skeletons.
The opponent's flesh and blood turned into pure energy, which was poured into the bones.
Richard's eyes were bright.
After recruiting the skeletal blood dragon from the corpse of the Templar Dragoon, Gunter solidified this unit into special skills.
I wonder if the two of them can give him the same surprise by recruiting a great demon who is the same as the Templar Dragoon?
