Chapter 341 Imagination about the underground world, future weapons factory (3600 words)
In the end, Richard confiscated the traitorous son of a steamed bun lover.
But he didn't take away those orcs, he gave them all to this guy. Last time he took the seeds of the World Tree, and this time he got so many benefits from fighting the orcs, he didn't have to worry too much about these soldiers that were not suitable for the Twilight City.
However, the steamed bun lover also had a strong temper, so he couldn't accept him as his godfather, so he still gave him two space teleportation scrolls.
This made Richard feel a little embarrassed. He got too many benefits from this guy, but he didn't refuse and accepted the scroll happily.
This guy is not bad. He can make more friends in the future. No one knows what will happen in the long journey.
The opponent can get the seeds of the World Tree from the beginning, which shows his good luck. He may be surprised at some point.
That Italian cannon guy is a lesson learned from the past.
Without staying in the orc city, Richard took all the loot and returned directly to the Twilight City.
This made the steamed bun lover feel very regretful. He really had the beast-eared girls ready to dress up and dance, and his original plan to give Richard a few beast-eared girls also came to nothing.
Before crossing the space gate, Richard gave a few extra words to give the steamed bun lover time to help him collect information about the vampire castle, which might come in handy in the future.
The blood coffin where the Grand Duke of the Vampire clan slept was still in his hand.
Although there is no way to deal with the boss inside now, he will always be able to pull the opponent out of the coffin in the future.
The steamed bun lover happily agreed and was extremely happy to have Richard in his lap.
After Richard easily captured the orc city, he saw the true power of the Twilight City, and his idea of embracing the city was unshakable.
When the last skeletal blood dragon folded its wings and passed through the door of space with its short body, click~
The space in front of him suddenly shattered and then returned to normal.
On the ruins of the huge city, only the steamed bun lovers and the harpies were left.
The harpy hero behind him looked at the scene of Richard disappearing without a trace and said in a deep voice.
"Master, Lord Qingqiu has wiped out the main force of the orcs, but there are still a large number of soldiers left outside, and we still need to deal with them carefully."
As he spoke, his eyes were full of heat.
"Without the threat of orcs, it's time for us to develop rapidly."
The steamed bun lover smiled bitterly when he heard this.
Deal with it carefully?
The most important force has been eliminated by the opponent, and only the remaining defeated troops are left. He cannot be careless.
This gap.
Shaking his head, he didn't bother to think about it anymore. Comparing with the other party was just asking for trouble.
Tens of billions of people are inferior to him, so what qualifications does he have?
As he gritted his teeth, he felt fierce in his heart.
"The threat of the orcs must be eliminated as quickly as possible. Don't wait until the next time Boss Qingqiu asks, we can't even do this little thing!"
"In addition, send someone immediately to find out the news about the vampire castle!"
"Yes, Master!"
A land of quicksand.
After returning from the orc city, Richard has always had a smile on his face.
This time not only did he fulfill his promise to steamed bun lovers, but the profits were also so huge that he was surprised.
He would be happy to have similar activities in the future.
He buried the blood coffin in which the Grand Duke of the Vampire clan slept under the roots of the ancient tree of evil.
Let this boss protect you.
There is a huge space under the ancient tree.
It is planted with magical plants that Richard obtained from the underground world.
The plants in the underground world didn't like light, and there was no place to grow them in the Twilight City, so he piled them all in the Quicksand Land.
And there are magic plants that can create ice.
His original idea was that after the ancient divine tree hunted down the corpse of the hero, it could be preserved and later used to recruit the bloody mummy alone.
Maybe a hero will emerge.
In addition to the corpses of several orc heroes brought back this time, there are already more than twenty corpses preserved in it.
Now it can be considered that it is used to put the blood coffin to its best use.
And with this boss guarding it, the blood coffin is safer than being placed in the Twilight City.
After settling in, Richard asked a few heroes to lead the army back to the Twilight City on their own, while he called the Void Sandworm over.
This thirty-meter-long "little guy" lay on the sand like a mountain, full of oppression.
The body is engraved with dark golden runes, making it look extremely extraordinary.
Richard stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Void Sandworm's closed mouth. Light escaped from his body, and his spiritual power connected with the other party's soul and began to transmit information.
The proceeds from this expedition gave him a new idea - to continue hunting those powerful forces.
The Desert of Death was so barren that he had to find a way.
But the biggest difficulty with this idea is the distance problem.
The Desert of Death is so vast, he can't spend half a month on the road, right?
If the Void Sandworm can solve this problem, it will definitely play a great role in the development of Twilight City.
Spiritual transmission of information. If there are detailed coordinates, can a space channel be opened in the main plane?
The response the Void Sandworm gave him surprised him.
As long as there are coordinates, it can open gaps in space no matter where it is.
But after understanding it carefully, Richard felt a little regretful.
The Void Sandworm is still in its larval stage, and opening the space gap is a huge burden for it.
Moreover, due to the perfect rules of the main plane, the energy required to maintain the space gate is several times that of connecting to other planes.
So he still can't do what he wants - he can lead to wherever he wants.
Richard is not disappointed about this. If he can't do it now, it doesn't mean he won't be able to do it in the future.
When the void sandworms reach adulthood, they will often leave the Desert of Death to hunt, and it will no longer be a vague dream.
After the battle with the orcs, he felt more and more that the Void Sandworm was of infinite value.
"Glory Age" has a map that is so huge that it has almost no borders, so traveling long distances has always been a big problem.
Otherwise, he would not attach so much importance to the development of flying arms.
If the void sandworm enters adulthood, it can maintain the space gate for a long time.
Then its value is definitely strategic.
No wonder the president of the Scarlet Council, the big boss who rubs the plane with his bare hands, has repeatedly warned that the Void Sandworm has unlimited potential.
It's a pity that I only got one. I wish I could have ten or eight.
Wouldn’t it be possible for the entire “Glory Era” to go wherever it wants from now on?
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the remaining ordinary sandworms and felt a little regretful.
But these big guys also have their uses.
It seems that he still has a mechanical vehicle workshop that has not yet been built.
When the time comes, it will be a beautiful thing to let these sandworms be responsible for pulling the cart.
After the inquiry, Richard planned to return to the Twilight City.
At this moment, the two-way portal that was erected in the land of quicksand and connected to the underground world flashed with water waves, and a bloody mummy appeared in sight.
After the other party appeared, he looked around with empty eyes. After sensing his aura, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"Great Master, there is news from Bloodhoof City"
As he spoke, he presented a sealed letter with both hands.
Richard raised his eyebrows, what a coincidence?
After the orc thing happened, he had planned to conquer the underground world, but now the other party sent a letter.
He reached out to take it and opened it directly.
After reading it carefully, I was a little surprised.
The letter said that the gray dwarves had gathered all their troops and were marching towards Bloodhoof City.
It is expected to arrive in Bloodhoof City on September 6th.
The final decisive battle has begun.
This battle will determine the ownership of the underground world.
Richard also felt a little emotional that the underground world was finally coming to an end.
Although Twilight City didn't really participate in it for much time.
But it also profoundly affected the situation in the underground world.
If it weren't for Twilight City, the current Bloodhoof City would have been destroyed long ago.
It is precisely because of him that this war continues to this day.
After the gray dwarf used a trick to kill him last time, he could no longer restrain his inner desire.
The desire to unify the underground world and become the sole overlord can no longer be resisted.
After Richard collected the letter and returned to Twilight City, he immediately summoned Brown, a level 12 gray dwarf alchemist.
This super-level alchemist who was snatched by him from the underground world has now completely surrendered.
With the support of Gao Minxin, no matter how tough your character is, it will be difficult for you to persist for too long.
This ability to assimilate new entrants is unimaginable to outsiders.
After meeting Richard, Brown, who had one arm as short as a bean sprout and was born with a disability, saluted with great respect.
"Master."
His face was full of respect from the bottom of his heart, and he no longer had the unwilling look he had when he was first brought back to Twilight City.
Richard looked at the hero who had been responsible for alchemy-related work in Twilight City and nodded slightly.
"You have done a good job during this period and have lived up to my trust in you."
As he spoke, he recounted the changes in the situation in the underground world and finally said.
"Now, we are about to use troops against the gray dwarves. Do you have any suggestions?"
When Brown heard this, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
When he was driven out of the main city by the current gray dwarf chief, he imagined countless times that one day he would be able to fight back and trample the opponent under his feet.
Now, the opportunity has finally come.
Even after taking several deep breaths, I couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart. I finally thought for a long time before speaking in a deep voice.
"Master, I have a question for you."
Richard smiled.
"Say."
"Are you planning to focus on alchemy?"
When talking about this question, the always cautious gray dwarf now straightened his back and looked resolutely.
His temperament was completely different from before.
Richard shook his head without thinking.
"No, alchemy technology is only a supplement to the defensive power of Twilight City, and we will not invest a lot of resources into it in the future."
Twilight City is not a fortress camp, and no matter how much they invest in alchemy, it will still be difficult to compare with those races whose main industry is alchemy.
His thinking was very clear, he just took a fancy to the huge power of the alchemical artillery, and never thought of changing the development path of Twilight City.
Brown nodded, knowing something in his mind.
"If you don't plan to make alchemy your main business, then I suggest that you send out troops this time and be sure to occupy the main city of the gray dwarves and control their original production tools."
"At the same time, conquer the other duergar and make them work for us."
As he spoke, his eyes became more serious.
"Not only that, the alchemy department of Twilight City should also be transferred to the underground world."
"Alchemy technology requires a huge investment of resources."
"Land, resources, population, treasures, etc."
“The later the stage, the greater the investment required.”
"The alchemy technology we have now is only superficial. As Twilight City grows, it will definitely be eliminated in the future."
"So, since we don't plan to invest heavily, let's move this technology out of Twilight City."
"The underground world has a complete alchemy technology system."
"Using the gray dwarves' original foundation to develop is countless times better than building something from scratch."
As he spoke, his eyes became a little fanatical.
"As long as the gray dwarf forces are completely integrated and the divided gray dwarves are all devoted to the research of alchemical technology, I promise you with my life that you will definitely achieve results that satisfy you."
"In the future, we can use the underground world as a weapons factory without additional investment, and can continuously provide Twilight City with the resources needed for war - whether it is alchemical artillery or alchemical bombs."
Richard looked at the other party deeply.
Integrating the original forces of the gray dwarves and fully developing alchemy technology on this basis will no longer require the City of Twilight to invest resources, allowing the entire underground world to become the weapons factory of the City of Twilight.
This guy has opened up the world.
But he had to admit that these words moved his heart.
His original plan was to have the underground world provide Twilight City with various weapons and resources and become his resource bank.
Now, if alchemy technology can be added, it will be beneficial to Twilight City without any harm.
After this war is over, the resources of the underground world will no longer be consumed in internal fighting, but will instead be used for development.
The result must be different. (End of chapter)
