Chapter 192 The underground world full of temptation (3500 words)
When Richard heard this, he couldn't help but look at Karu deeply.
He most appreciates the other person's overall view and his personality that likes to take the initiative.
It fits his style very well.
This is also the main reason why he has always placed Karu in the position of administrator of Twilight City.
"You are right, Twilight City has never been a retreat-and-defense style."
"This time, I want to go to the west to investigate in person."
Xina's words made Richard see more than just the risks.
I also realized the huge benefits.
A large number of wyvern legions, what does this mean?
Skeleton Blood Dragon! Crown troop!
Aren't these bipedal flying dragons the best prey?
Moreover, a 4-star dragon-hunting crossbow requires dragon fascia of level 15 or above.
More importantly, the wyvern came from the underground world.
This means that he can open up a new map.
The interests represented by this are huge.
Even the mithril needed to repair the Super Slayer is in the underground world.
After figuring out the key, Richard's originally heavy mood gradually became high.
The dangerous flying dragon now became the prey in his heart.
Even the development opportunities of the entire Twilight City.
Karu held up his chest and lowered his head.
"Yes, my lord"
After Richard made his decision, he immediately gathered the troops.
This time it was mainly for exploration and there was no need to lead too many troops.
Mainly a flexible air force.
But at the same time, the army was immediately placed under martial law to prevent enemy raids.
Such a large-scale troop mobilization in Twilight City quickly attracted Onik's attention.
I asked several residents but did not get an accurate answer. I only knew that someone was injured.
Come immediately and ask Richard if he needs help.
Richard was not polite either.
"My subordinates were attacked by the Dungeon Clan and were seriously injured. If there is a medicine that can cure the injury, I can buy it from you."
Without saying a word, Onik took out two bottles of golden potion.
"This is a potion produced by the Sun Temple in Solan City. It contains holy water with powerful restorative effects. Maybe it can help that lady."
"As for buying, there is no need. You saved my life last time!"
When Richard heard this, he patted the other party's shoulder and asked someone to take it off and give it to Xina.
Then he looked at Onik and said.
"I need to go out. If there are enemies attacking Twilight City, I hope you can help."
As he spoke, he motioned to the ancient divine tree surrounded by poisonous wasps outside the territory.
"The ancient divine tree will fight with you."
Onik had a wry smile on his face.
He couldn't tell that Richard was secretly warning them.
If they don't obey, the terrifying giant tree will also send them to meet the God of Death.
But he was counting on the Twilight City to make him rich, and he didn't even think about it.
He patted his chest frankly and said.
"Don't worry, I will never let you down."
Richard said no more. After finding Karu and giving instructions for a while, he came to the assembled army.
All the dark gargoyles are in line, and the Axes of the Dead from 4 teams have been mounted on the dark gargoyles.
The rest of the army stayed to guard the territory.
Without any more nonsense, he waved.
"Let's go!"
After the order was given, Richard turned over and rode on the skeletal blood dragon, driving the undead dragon quickly across the yellow sand land.
Beside him are four teams of dark gargoyles riding the Ax of the Dead.
The perimeter is escorted by a team of 8 pure dark gargoyles.
Gray and Gunter, two A-level mummy heroes, are distributed on the left and right hands.
Although Xina did not specify the specific location.
But following the general direction and conducting aerial searches like a net, the army found the gravel area two hours later.
Richard drove the skeletal blood dragon to hover above.
Looking over, I found that this area was so vast that I couldn't even see the edge at a height of several hundred meters.
The ground is full of boulders three to four meters high, each one separated and rarely connected to each other.
Some boulders are even more than 10 meters high, greatly blocking the view.
Thinking of what Xina said, the other party used magic to cover herself, she couldn't help but frown.
He is not afraid of not finding the enemy, but of alerting the enemy.
Especially when the specific strength of the enemy is not yet known.
After thinking for a while, he looked at the two mummy heroes.
"Gray, Gunter, you each lead four teams to search."
"Attention, the enemy has used magic to cover itself, so it may not be so easy to find."
"Yes, Master."
The order was given and the troops immediately took action.
Richard seemed to have thought of something and slowly closed his eyes.
The next moment, perception spreads.
There are a lot of gravels in the gaps under the rocks.
As long as there is yellow sand in the area, it is the extended range of his perception.
He was like a humanoid radar, driving the skeletal blood dragon to fly forward.
Quickly search everything ahead.
Half an hour later, Richard's closed eyes suddenly opened.
He stared with burning eyes at an area of boulders over 15 meters high two hundred meters away.
From the outside, the area is lined with boulders, which are at most a little larger than the surrounding rocks, so there is no problem.
But in his perception, there were a large number of people walking around in these boulder areas.
The opponent is trampled under the gravel!
Sure enough, as Xina said, magic covered their traces.
Even the breath of life cannot be felt.
If he hadn't been able to sense the movement of the gravel, he wouldn't have been able to detect it even if it passed over his head.
Richard opened the system map and marked this location.
Then he decisively drove the Skeleton Blood Dragon to bypass the area from the side.
He used the Whisper Crystal to inform the army of the rendezvous, and led the large army to leave in another direction without returning the same way.
After leaving this vast gravel area, Richard looked at the two heroes and said.
"The Dungeon Clan are building a fortress under the cover of magic."
Gray turned his head and glanced at the gravel area. In his empty eyes, the fire of his soul was burning.
"Master, do we need to send troops to attack immediately?"
"Go back first and come back when you are ready. This is a tough battle."
Richard was very decisive.
After returning to the territory as quickly as possible, he went directly to the front yard of the lord's mansion and looked at the military nest in front of him with burning eyes.
Today is the 11th, and the troop nests were refreshed three days ago.
Because the time of "Glory Era" is fixed, 28 days per month.
Therefore, the 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd of every month are all Mondays, when the troop nests are refreshed.
But he put off recruiting because of insufficient resources.
The accumulation in the past few days has already earned enough resources for recruitment.
Without hesitation, he spent all the resources he had accumulated in the past few days and recruited all the troops he could.
Elite units - Mummy Guardian 150→250, Ax of the Dead 100→150
Rare unit——Bandage Mummy 0→42,
Scorpion Warrior 50→57
Great Ax Death Knight 30→72
Sand Archer 100→200
Kuangsha Mage 75→100
Curse the Pharaoh 25→30
Rare units - Dark Gargoyle 120→140, Ax of the Dead 40→45,
Brilliant unit - heavy sword warrior 20.
Crown troops - Skeleton Blood Dragon 1, Skeleton Demon 5.
The Sand Archers, Great Ax Death Knights, Bandaged Mummies, and Mummy Guardians were not recruited last time, so this time they can recruit two weeks of production, which will be slightly more.
The largest resource consumers are the Sand Archers and the two rare units with the highest levels.
One round of recruitment cost him more than 600,000 units of resources and 100 units of gems.
The army attrition caused by the previous attack on the Dark Temple was completely made up this time.
After giving the newly recruited troops the magical skill of desertification, armies above the rare level can be gathered immediately.
The small square in front of the lord's mansion was filled with people standing in darkness.
Nearly 7 squadrons in number.
The strength is unprecedentedly strong.
Richard looked at it for a few times and nodded with satisfaction.
This army is an elite forged by him, and has made countless military exploits.
"Gray, Gunter, Baal, the three of you immediately take the newly recruited troops out to scan maps and level up. I need everyone's level to be raised to level 5 or above."
"At the same time, there is no need to bring back the corpses obtained from hunting. You can directly recruit bloody mummies. We need cannon fodder."
"I only give you three days, July 14th, to send troops to the Dungeon Clan!"
"Follow your orders!"
The army left quickly under Richard's will.
The Dungeon Clan are already building a fortress.
How can I allow others to snore on the side of the couch?
Once the opponent gains a foothold, Twilight City will face danger.
These dungeon people are not peace-loving people.
It is their nature to destroy, plunder, and conquer.
As Karu said, it is infinitely better to draw the flames of war to the enemy's territory than to wait for the enemy to come to the door.
The territory that had been developing quietly these past few days immediately became tense because of this news.
However, with the blessing of Gao Minxin, everyone still performed their duties without any confusion.
Even because of external threats, cohesion has increased significantly.
The next day, July 12, Sheena woke up.
Richard immediately went to visit.
Seeing the girl on the bed whose vitality had gradually stabilized, he felt a lot more settled.
The seal in the opponent's body has not yet been released, and the true fighting power has not yet been released.
If this high-level hero dies in battle, the losses this time will be inestimable.
"Lord Richard."
Seeing Richard rushing over, Xina's eyes softened a lot.
"Rest peacefully, I have found the Dungeon Clan's fortress."
"Twilight City is safe enough, no one can harm you in this territory."
Xina felt warm in her heart.
"You don't need to worry, scars are glory and glory to the Krina people."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and his weak tone became a little more solemn.
"Perhaps you need information about the Dungeon Clan now."
Richard nodded.
"No need to rush, speak slowly and don't affect the injury."
Xina said in a weak voice.
"After I left the Twilight City, I tracked a group of wyverns and found the fortress they were building."
"It took a lot of effort to sneak in through the weak point of the enemy's defense."
"I learned that these fortresses built on the surface are a defeated dungeon clan force."
"They have about three squadrons of level 10 rare units - wyverns, and three of them are brilliant units."
"Two squadrons of rare level 9 units—Evil Eyes."
"Three squadrons of level 8 rare units - half-snake people,"
"In addition, he also controls more than 5 brigades of caveman slaves."
"The person who controls this dungeon clan force is a level 13 half-snake dungeon clan hero."
"I didn't fight them. After infiltrating, I followed the underground passage and came to the real underground world."
Richard was thoughtful.
The strength of those dungeon clans is indeed quite high, but it is still within an acceptable range.
After coming back to his senses, he became very interested in the underground world that Xina mentioned.
"What is the difference between the underground world and the surface?"
"The environment of the underground world is dark, and poisonous insects and snakes can be seen everywhere. In addition, food is extremely scarce, and there are a lot of hungry monsters."
"Underground, it is ten times more difficult to obtain food than in the desert. Most beasts and monsters contain poison and are inedible."
"At the same time, it is ten times more dangerous than the surface."
Richard was thoughtful.
"Is there a dungeon in that area?"
"There is a dungeon ruled by dungeon barbarians, who are at war with the duergar."
"Those dungeon people who fled to the surface were caused by the war between these two forces."
Richard became even more interested.
"Have you heard anything about Mithril?"
Xina thought for a moment and was unsure.
"It seems that the gray dwarves have a mithril mine in their hands."
"This is the information I got from interrogation after I captured a half-snake man. I didn't pay attention to it at the time and I can't be sure of its authenticity."
Richard's eyes immediately lit up. (End of chapter)
