Chapter 450: Ancient Remnants
After getting the Void Spider Web, Richard, who was in a good mood, organized the army.
Finally, the losses in this battle were calculated - two and a half squads of mummified guards and three squads of stone statues of the dead.
In such a fierce battle, only a few teams were lost, which was already beyond expectations.
The opponents are all top level 15 and 16 troops. Even if Twilight City strikes first and has all kinds of advantages, it will still end up in a head-on fight.
After the casualties were tallied, Richard did not hesitate and took off the 5-star treasure he wore on his chest - the Death Elegy Medal.
When commanding the undead units, all attributes of the units will be increased by 50%. Three squads of dead undead units can be resurrected every day, and their death time cannot exceed three days.
The stone statues of the dead are half gargoyles, half undead beings, but they can also be resurrected.
With a thought, the medal in his hand exuded an evil aura, shrouding the stone statues and corpses of the deceased on the ground.
After a while, the broken stone statues healed piece by piece, and resurrected in less than three minutes.
The only pity is that the number of resurrections of the three teams is too small.
Those mummy guards who rode on the backs of the stone statues of the dead and were killed together did not have this blessing.
After the Stone Statue of the Dead was restored to its full strength of 96 teams, Richard took a deep look at the Spider Church entrenched on the yellow sand land, mounted Alves again, and left straight away.
After the players who had been waiting for a long time sat on the Skeleton Blood Dragon again, their mood became extremely complicated.
Anyone who witnessed the battle just now would not be calm.
They thought they overestimated Richard, but in the end they underestimated him.
This army is more than ten times more powerful than it appears on paper.
Looking at the tens of billions of players, they can't imagine anyone else who can compare with this guy Qingqiu.
The players are all very ambitious and can be recognized by everyone at the same time. The impact of this battle on them can be imagined.
Richard didn't care what these idiots thought. In his opinion, the players who lost their army were just a group of people who knew how to use rare resources.
Too lazy to pay too much attention.
After leaving the Spider Church, my tense heart relaxed a little.
After thinking about it, he drove Alves to fly among the players and looked down.
Seeing the huge undead dragon hero approaching, the players became nervous and excited.
"Qingqiu Boss"
"Boss, you were too fierce just now"
"The boss is the boss, he looks so handsome even sitting down."
The corner of Richard's mouth twitched, these idiots have no time to be serious?
Look around.
"Who knows where the other spider churches are? Share the map with me."
Immediately, twenty or thirty people rushed to raise their hands, all wanting to look familiar.
After sharing them one by one, Richard looked at the remaining eleven spider churches on the system map and the spider temple in the center, and couldn't help but think deeply.
It goes without saying that the Spider Temple is in the middle. If you connect the other Spider Churches with threads, you will find that they are like nodes in a spider web.
Once the Spider Temple is attacked, the churches at these nodes can rush to support in a very short time.
After pondering for a long time, he gave up his previous idea of directly attacking the Spider Temple.
With the Hero Altar here, he could risk his life.
Even if we spend all our troops, it will be worth it as long as we can get the heart of the god.
However, this is the last resort plan. It is not a wise choice to rashly pile all the chips on the card table before you are sure enough.
We haven't reached that point yet, and there is still a lot of room for maneuver.
"Boss Qingqiu, what are your plans next?"
A rough voice interrupted Richard's thoughts. He turned around and found the burly female orc player looking at him with a burning face.
Richard glanced at the opponent's palm-length chest hair and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Although he also likes the beast-eared girl, this big brother is just too fierce
"Do you have any suggestions?"
The female orc player said loudly.
"I met a village on the road before, and there seemed to be people living in it, but I was chased in a hurry and didn't go to explore."
Seeing Richard's noncommittal expression, the other party couldn't help but speed up his speech a bit.
"To my surprise, the spider army that was hunting me turned a blind eye to the village. They were even a little afraid and subconsciously stayed away from that area."
"Perhaps we can find more clues about the copy in that village."
"Boss Qingqiu, although I don't know how strong you are, but we will eventually face the extraordinary power of the Spider Temple."
Everyone is now a grasshopper on a rope.
It's okay that Richard is fine. If something happens, everyone will understand the outcome of the others.
After the female orc player finished speaking, the other players suddenly became quiet, blinking and waiting for Richard's order.
No matter what decision the other party makes, they must now fully support it.
When Richard heard this, he immediately became interested.
A village that would make an army of spiders fearful?
These spiders are followers of Rose.
Will followers of the evil god be afraid?
Just as he was about to speak, a hysterical and sharp roar suddenly came from behind. The harsh sound was like scratching the glass with a knife.
It gives you goosebumps all over your body.
Richard turned his head suddenly and looked in the direction of the Spider Church.
His eyes became serious.
Enemy reinforcements have arrived.
My heart is awe-inspiring.
Fortunately, this action was decisive. If we hadn't captured the church until now, we would have been in a state of being attacked from both sides.
At that time, the army will not be as simple as a few casualties.
The army of Twilight City is not weak, but the combat effectiveness of the spider army cannot be underestimated.
The opponent is playing at home, so no one can say whether there are any back-up tricks that they haven't used yet.
Turning around, he looked at the female orc player.
"Share the map of that village to me."
"Okay!"
After the sharing was completed, Richard was unambiguous and immediately ordered.
"The whole army is advancing at full speed to the northwest."
As the words fell, he drove Alves to take the lead in flying.
The sandstorm controller turned into a sandstorm again, covering the army in the sky.
On the ground, in the previous battle, the ancient divine tree, which had been regarded as a backup by Richard and did not join the battle, controlled the quicksand to keep up with the large army.
Richard's desertification of the land just now produced enough yellow sand, allowing this behemoth to regain controllable gravel.
The army was very fast, and the distance between them and the Spider Church was tens of kilometers in an instant.
But at this time, Richard's mood was still not relaxed.
Overlooking the land.
A vast expanse of white cobwebs reappeared below, and even some small stone crevices were covered by cobwebs.
Thumb-sized venomous spiders lurk in the webs, ready to attack anyone who steps into the webs.
According to other players, these spider webs are connected to the Spider Church in the corresponding area.
Once the spider web is destroyed on a large scale, the Spider Church will immediately send troops to investigate.
And what's even worse is that the poisonous spiders the size of your thumb below are all spies. Even if they are all flying soldiers who don't trample on the spider webs, those spiders will pass on the information they see through the spider webs.
Players will be annihilated soon after entering the dungeon, which is most directly related to the spider webs that spread all over the land.
A word suddenly popped into Richard's mind.
A race to the death.
Now it depends on whether he completes his goal first or whether the Spider Church mobilizes an army to encircle and suppress him first.
The news that the spider church was annihilated by him has been known to the other party, and he will definitely face a crazy counterattack by the spider army next.
Especially. Rose's statue was taken away by him.
As a believer, if the statue of his own god is taken away by outsiders, this is simply an undying hatred.
None of the previous players had captured the church.
It's a pity that if thousands of players come in at the same time and mess up this copy, he still has room to operate.
Now that all these sand sculptures have been wiped out, he may be the only one in the entire copy.
Even if there are new players entering, if the number does not reach a certain level, it will not be able to share the pressure.
With him as a target of such hatred, the spider army will definitely attack first.
"S-level mission"
Richard took a deep breath to calm down his ups and downs, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became high again.
No matter what happens, with the Hero Altar there, he has a way out.
The worst result is that the mission fails, all the troops in hand are wiped out, and he is reborn in the altar.
Before coming, he had already made mental preparations for this.
After capturing the church, we have already made some money back. What we have to do next, besides the ultimate goal - to get back the heart of the god, is to make more money.
Even if the final mission fails, there will be no loss.
After changing his mind, his thoughts suddenly became more vivid.
Looking at the heavy layers of the ground, like spider webs laid out on the ground like fishing nets, his eyes moved slightly.
These spider webs can pass the news of where he is going to the Spider Church. This is a crisis, but if used well, is it not an opportunity?
He quietly recalled the scene in his first dungeon when he was hunted down by the entire world in order to complete an S-level mission.
In the end, he created a horrific landslide, killing millions of people in one fell swoop, and successfully completed his mission.
"It's a pity that there are no cracks in the earth here, otherwise it would be easy to deal with."
"However, it may not be impossible to create a home field advantage."
Richard's thoughts were racing.
After taking a look at the cobwebs on the ground, some ideas in my mind were slowly taking shape.
After marching hastily for more than half an hour, the marked points on the map finally overlapped.
"Boss Qingqiu, cross that dry river and you'll reach that weird village!"
The rough voice of the female orc player came at the right time.
All the players became interested and stretched their necks to look forward.
After just one glance, everyone noticed something different
Ahead, a dry river more than ten meters deep was covered with spider webs like other areas.
But on the other side of the river, there was a bare land, not a single spider web in sight.
You can even see some reclaimed fields on the river bank growing green vegetables that are quite inconsistent with the surrounding environment.
Intelligent life lives here.
Looking further across the river, you can vaguely see a village, but most of the buildings are hidden by boulders of varying heights.
Can't see clearly.
Richard also cheered up.
But before starting, he turned his head and glanced at the ancient divine tree blocking out the sky and the sun.
After pondering for a moment, he said slowly.
"Treebeard, you stay here and send the Killer Hornets out to be vigilant to prevent any unexpected situations."
The situation inside is unknown, so it’s safe to keep one thing safe.
After instructing this top boss, he immediately gave the order.
"The whole army crossed the river."
As soon as he finished speaking, Alves flapped his wings and flew across the hundred-meter-wide dry river in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The moment he crossed the river, Richard suddenly felt that some of the shackles on his body seemed to be released, and his whole body was refreshed.
Breathing became easier.
Just when he was wondering what happened, a familiar prompt sounded in his ears.
"Ding~ You discovered the village of ancient remnants and triggered the side mission - expel evil."
"In the ancient era, a terrifying war affected this plane, and several gods fell here."
"The ruler of the 500th floor of the Abyss, the Spider God--Rose, coveted the body of the fallen god, sent an army to invade this plane, occupied the land that originally belonged to the indigenous people of this world, and ruled for countless years."< br>
"The remnants of this plane who are still alive are eager to drive out the evil all the time."
"Please fulfill the request of the ancient remnants and drive out the evil."
"Task rewards: will be distributed by the ancient survivors. The richness of the rewards is related to the completion of the task."
After reading the prompt several times, Richard's eyes lit up.
Side mission, ancient remnants?
Sure enough, there is something.
He was keenly aware that perhaps this village was the key to breaking the situation.
Other players also shouted loudly at this moment.
"Boss Qingqiu, I received a side mission."
"I also received it, drive away the evil!"
"What a coincidence, me too."
"."
When Richard heard the noise from behind, he glared at these idiots angrily.
"Shut up."
The unhappy voice made everyone swallow their comments.
The scene seemed to have been pressed on the pause button and fell into silence. No one dared to beep anymore.
Richard ignored them and asked the army to wait on the shore. He drove Alves alone and flew straight into the ancient village.
As we got closer, we could clearly see what the village looked like.
The buildings below are all made of huge stones, and the height is generally more than fifteen meters.
The oval-shaped roof bulges high, giving it a rough and solid feel.
What is particularly eye-catching is that every huge stone on which the house is built is engraved with simple patterns, which looks full of traces of history.
Extremely distinctive.
After passing the rows of stone houses, we came to the central area, a relatively wide square.
Gray rocks cover the ground, and there are many potholes on it, all caused by wear and tear.
Apparently it's quite a few years old.
Huhu~
Alves fell straight down.
Richard turned over on the ground, stood firm, glanced around, and spoke slowly to the empty village.
"Lord of Twilight City, Richard, comes to pay you a visit."
The words fell and there was silence.
It seems that there is no one in this village.
Richard's figure as tall and tall as a stone monument did not stand tall. He looked indifferently ahead and did not lose his composure because no one responded.
One minute, two minutes. A full five minutes later.
Finally something changed.
Bang~
Bang~
Heavy footsteps sounded.
A huge figure walked from an alley on the side of the square.
Every time the opponent takes a step, the ground will shake.
"Outsiders, you guys shouldn't come."
"The will of the plane is extremely weak, and the time that can protect us is approaching the end."
"Rose's followers will set their sights on us again. The Ta clan cannot afford the losses caused by the war." (End of Chapter)
