Chapter 265: Plunder the underground world and become rich in a wave of wealth (4200 words)
Bloodhoof City, an unknown tavern, the air is filled with the smell of alcohol and sweat.
Dozens of underground beings were drinking and chatting, paying no attention to the bad air around them.
Looking around, you can see half-snake people, dungeon barbarians, halflings, lizard people, tauren and all kinds of weird races here.
A tauren with a face full of scars and a pair of blood-colored eyes picked up the bowl on the table and drank a gulp of the sour liquor in it.
Burp~
With a bit of blush on his face, and stimulated by alcohol, he suddenly stood up and shouted loudly to his two companions sitting at the same table.
"Have you heard? The gray dwarves' bounty on the surface lord has been increased from 10 million units of food to 15 million units!"
As he spoke, his eyes became even redder.
"15 million units! If we can get this, our tribe won't have to worry about it for three years, no, five years!"
As he spoke, he slammed the table.
The loud sound instantly silenced the lively tavern, and everyone turned their attention to the tauren who stood up and looked extraordinarily tall.
Seeing this, the tauren shouted coldly.
"What are you looking at! Aren't you tempted? That's 15 million units of food!"
"What a wealth this is!"
A dwarf curled his lips in disdain when he heard this, stood up suddenly on the bench, and wiped the food residue from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
said loudly.
"You bisons must have drank too much and slept in the sewers for a few days, right?"
"The news is bullshit."
Seeing the funny way the dwarf danced, the crowd around him suddenly burst into laughter.
The tauren was so crowded that he couldn't get off the stage and said extremely angrily.
"Damn dwarf! What did you say?!"
As he spoke, he picked up the long-handled ax that was leaning on the wooden table.
The dwarf glanced at him with great disdain.
"The bounty on the surface lords of Furnace City has been increased to 18 million units of food!"
"Your 15 million is already outdated!"
These words immediately caused the tavern to become noisy.
"Yes, I just got the news that the gray dwarves have increased the reward for that human being."
"Beyond all the gods, 18 million units of food. If you give it to me, I won't be able to eat it all in my life."
"The gray dwarves are so rich. They have tens of millions of units of food at their fingertips."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the price offered by the gray dwarves is indeed great, but what is even more surprising is that the human lord from the surface is carrying such a high bounty, and no one has been able to do anything to get him! What kind of strength is this? ! ”
When the tauren heard this, his eyes suddenly opened and he said in disbelief.
"The gray dwarves raised the price two days ago, and now they're increasing it again? What did the surface human do?"
The dwarf picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down, then looked proudly at the crowd watching him.
"That human lord, just this morning, plundered the Steel Castle two hundred kilometers away from the Furnace City!"
"My God is the dwarf! It is said that that human has robbed Steel Castle of a lot of resources."
After speaking, he looked at the interested audience and increased the volume a bit.
"Moreover, when the gray dwarves sent troops to encircle and suppress the human lords on the surface, they were counterattacked by the other parties, resulting in a large number of casualties."
"The surface lord faced the level 13 Steel Castle Lord alone in the battle!"
"In a one-on-one battle, the opponent killed the Lord of Steel Castle!"
The dwarf added another sentence after he finished speaking.
"By the way, the other party didn't use that powerful mechanical puppet!"
These words immediately caused a burst of exclamation.
"What?? No mechanical puppets were used?"
"Didn't you say that the surface lord is only level 9? The city lord of Steel Castle has reached level 13, and his combat power is extremely powerful. How could he be killed by the opponent?"
"Where did you get the news? It must be inaccurate!"
"This is a bit false! The city lord of Steel Castle must have been surrounded and killed by the opponent!"
"."
Hearing this noisy discussion, the dwarf became even more excited.
He greatly enjoys being in the spotlight.
said loudly.
"This is a message that a friend of mine in the Crucible City personally sent to me!"
"He witnessed that battle with his own eyes. The Lord of Steel Castle died tragically."
"If it weren't for this, how could the Gray Dwarf's bounty be increased from 15 million to 18 million?!"
"Don't question it! How can that human lord become an ally of Bloodhoof City if he is not powerful!"
The crowd around him suddenly thought of the various legends left by the human lord during this time, and immediately started discussing it heatedly.
"Indeed, if it were anyone else, this might be nonsense, but that human lord is not an ordinary person"
"In the past three days, the human lord has attacked seven gray dwarf cities! He attacked seven cities in three days. It's really unbelievable!"
"As expected, he came from the surface. He killed a level 13 hero with level 9 power. It's incredible."
The more we talked about it, the more enthusiastic the atmosphere in the tavern became.
Not long after, someone mentioned another thing.
"Do you think the news that the surface lord recruited our dungeon clan heroes and brought them to the surface is true or false?"
Several people around him responded immediately.
"Of course it's true, otherwise why would the other party specifically ask Bloodhoof City to help spread the news?"
"And the announcements are posted outside the city lord's mansion. Anyone who plans to join that lord can get a free house provided by Bloodhoof City."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if it weren't for the human lord who only wanted heroes, I would have wanted to see it. That's the surface of the earth. It's so rich and rich that food can grow just by spreading some seeds on the ground!"
"And that lord is so powerful, isn't it ten thousand times better to be ruled by such a being than to live a hard life underground!"
"But why hasn't the other party come to Bloodhoof City after so many days? It's already the 8th! The lord has been away for a week."
"Are you stupid? What is the other party doing these days? Capture the gray dwarf city! How can he have time to come to Bloodhoof City? If you want to go, just wait. A big shot that even the gray dwarves can't do anything about will never break his promise. ”
In the underground world, the strong are respected.
And what the lord from the surface did during this period was so legendary——
Himself from the surface,
An ally of Bloodhoof City,
He offended the overlord of the underground world, the gray dwarves, and was offered a bounty of nearly 20 million units of food.
The other party was also a wealthy man who purchased a large number of weapons in Bloodhoof City and spread out millions of units of food.
Moreover, the opponent also possesses an extraordinary level mechanical puppet, which is extremely powerful.
All kinds of legends make the aura behind the other party very dazzling.
The attention it attracted was phenomenal.
Many underground beings who heard the relevant news in the past two days became very interested in the recruitment order issued by Richard.
A lord with no ability or status, even if he issues a recruitment order, he will only be ridiculed.
But when a powerful, wealthy, and legendary man issues a recruitment order, he gives them a chance.
Even if the status is different, even if the same thing is done, the effect will be completely different.
Bloodhoof City, the main hall of the city lord's palace.
More than 20 senior officials of Bloodhoof City were looking at the sweating messengers with excitement.
A gray-haired barbarian hero stood up, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
"Are you sure the information is correct?"
"President Richard really attacked Steel Castle?"
"Not only did he plunder all the resources inside, but the lord of Steel Castle was also killed in a one-on-one battle by President Richard who was not driving a mechanical puppet?"
After the messenger took a few breaths, he said loudly in an ups and downs tone.
"There is no mistake. This news has been verified by many parties, and our people even saw the body of the Lord of Steel Castle."
As he spoke, he looked at Serge Bloodhoof, who was standing in front of him, his eyes full of excitement.
"Lord Serge, the gray dwarves' reward for President Richard has been increased to 18 million units of food."
"And the other party also released news that at the same price, they are offering a reward for the treasure that can kill President Richard."
"Even treasures with special effects can be exchanged for rewards in Furnace City."
When the gray-haired barbarian hero heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face.
Turn around and look at the main seat.
"Lord Serge, you are indeed President Richard! This attack has shaken the foundation of the gray dwarves."
Serge frowned.
"Although the results achieved by President Richard this time are good, they only robbed resources and did not occupy the city. It cannot be said to have shaken the foundation of the gray dwarves, right?"
The gray-haired barbarian hero shook his head.
"Sir, the gray dwarves can maintain their status as underground overlords. In addition to their strength, there is also the respect that everyone has for the gray dwarves."
"This is the soft power accumulated by the gray dwarves over hundreds of years."
"Now, President Richard has broken this awe and trampled the gray dwarves under his feet with a strong gesture."
"As long as President Richard is fine, their dignity will be gone."
“That’s why they offered such a high reward!”
"This is not only to kill the threat of President Richard, but also to preserve the foundation of the gray dwarves!"
As he spoke, his face showed a bit of excitement.
“President Richard has created an unprecedented opportunity for us, now it’s our turn!”
When Serge heard this, his face looked thoughtful.
The other party continued.
"After a giant is injured, the beasts around him will never think about helping him, but will think about how to get a piece of meat after he dies."
"As long as we can let others see that the giant is indeed going to fall. A group of wild wolves will not care about sharing a prey."
When Serge heard this, he suddenly became enlightened.
He thought again of the figure riding the undead dragon and coming to Bloodhoof City alone.
Inexplicably, I felt a sense of joy in my heart.
Bloodhoof City was definitely lucky to have become an ally with the other party in the first place.
If the opponent had chosen the gray dwarves, Bloodhoof City might have become history at this moment.
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, he said seriously.
"Then act immediately, don't let this opportunity go to waste."
"First spread the news that the gray dwarves are tough on the outside but weak on the inside, and at the same time provoke conflicts between the forces surrounding the gray dwarves and them."
"Send people to attack the other party's various mineral veins, and at the same time spread the wealth contained in them."
The gray-haired barbarian hero nodded.
"Yes, one or two times may not be able to shake the gray dwarves, but if they happen too many times, when their prestige is wiped out, it will be the day when Bloodhoof City becomes the sole overlord of the underground world."
Serge also had a bit of a smile on his face.
Bloodhoof City has been waiting for this day for too long.
Then he seemed to think of something and continued.
"In addition, we also need to continue to increase our efforts in purchasing weapons and equipment from other forces."
Bloodhoof City made a huge profit from the last transaction.
But he has tasted the sweetness.
The acquisition was almost treated as the most important thing to handle.
Another dungeon barbarian hero stood up and said hesitantly.
"Lord Serge, will our weapons department also increase production?"
Serge shook his head.
"Production can be increased, but higher-level equipment will be retained first. We need more weapons to prepare for the next war."
"Earning food is not our purpose, our purpose is to unify the underground world!"
"Yes, my lord."
Bloodhoof isn't the only one talking about it.
Almost all the forces in the underground world are discussing content related to Richard.
The human lords from the surface conquered seven gray dwarf cities in three days.
After plundering a large amount of wealth, he retreated calmly.
The angry Furnace City offered a bounty of 18 million units of food on the opponent's head, as well as various treasures that could be used to deal with the opponent.
The news swept through the underground world like a whirlwind.
Everyone marveled at the human lord from the surface.
This is a situation that has never happened before in the underground world.
That human from the surface is too powerful!
I don’t know how many people are shaken by this.
Worshiping the strong is the instinct of all life, and the underground world of the weak and the strong has deepened this worship.
But just as everyone was waiting for the surface lord's next move.
The other party suddenly seemed to have evaporated and disappeared without a trace.
However, no one was disappointed, but instead full of curiosity and expectation.
I don’t know what kind of amazing move the other party will do next time he appears again.
There are not many gray dwarf cities left.
Furnace City noticed the disappearance of its life-and-death enemy and suddenly fell into an unspeakable atmosphere.
The other party has been so crazy this time and invaded their city so unscrupulously.
Will the other party's next target be the Melting Pot City?
Thinking of the terrible consequences, the gray dwarf suddenly fell into an unprecedented panic.
They had absolute confidence before, allowing the surface human being to never come back.
But as their cities were plundered one by one, and they were unable to do anything to each other, their inner self-confidence quietly collapsed.
The gray dwarves never expected that Bloodhoof City would not make them feel uneasy even when it was at its strongest.
Now he is being intimidated to this point by a human from the surface who has just broken through level 10.
Richard's feat of conquering seven cities in three days made his reputation in the underground world skyrocket to an unstoppable level.
There were many more figures heading to Bloodhoof City silently.
Some go to seek refuge, while others want to see if there is a chance to get the reward of 18 million units of food
Underground passage.
Richard stood in front of the two-way portal, watching the troops filing in and returning to the Twilight City.
I feel better than ever.
This time we conquer the underworld.
Although it only lasted three days, the richness he gained far exceeded his expectations.
Going back this time, Twilight City will definitely usher in another wave of rapid development.
Thinking of this, I subconsciously opened the properties panel.
Ignore the common resources and look at the rare resources with pleasure.
Gem: 25329 units, mercury 54320 units, sulfur 13412 units, crystal 32306 units
Before coming, he had exhausted all the scarce resources in order to deal with the kobold god.
But in just three days, he regained more than 100,000 rare resources.
If we don't want a quick solution and don't have much time to search, this number may be doubled.
Sure enough, the golden belt is spared for murder.
The only pity is that this thing is a one-shot deal, no, several hammers.
It can only be plundered a few times at most, and there will not be a steady stream of leeks harvested like normal trade. (End of chapter)
