Chapter 489 Territory Development Plan, Various Progress
Richard did not let Renee return to the statue of the ancient god. He directly took this person who appeared in the form of a night elf and left the eternal land with a somewhat illusory divine soul in his body.
The moment I walked out of the space passage, I felt particularly comfortable.
Completing the S-level mission this time is a huge profit!
Needless to say, the power of Renee's divine soul was great, but as Twilight City grew, the opponent's level 14 gradually could not keep up with him.
Now upgraded to level 17, it has immediately become the top combat power.
Relying on the resurrection property, Renee has endless potential.
A powerful opponent that can be constantly resurrected will make anyone afraid of him.
But Renee was just there by the way. The most important gain was the fighting spirit gathered by the Golden God of War.
That power is absolutely not inferior to the power and authority of rules.
Its unique way of birth would shock even the gods - facing the endless attacks of a world for thousands of years, fighting endlessly, using countless corpses and souls to nourish the fighting spirit.
It was not until the final sacrifice of the Golden God of War that it was completely condensed and formed.
I wonder how much improvement Xina or the Dark Valkyrie will gain after inheriting this unique power?
It’s really exciting.
After returning to the lord's mansion and letting Renee move freely, he stopped busy and lay down on the bed before dawn.
After this trip, I was so exhausted that I fell asleep quickly.
The next day, December 24th, there were only 4 days left before the new expansion pack was launched.
Richard woke up after ten o'clock. His fatigue was gone and his energy was strong again.
After washing up and having lunch, I came to the front yard.
Looking at the troop nest placed in the corner, my heart moved.
The attribute panel was opened, and the number of arms was clearly displayed.
Brilliant arms——
1. Poisonous Scorpion Warriors (20 lairs, 140 weekly output) Current quantity: 650
2. Mummy Guardians (3 nests, weekly output 30) Current quantity: 90
3. Sand Archers (10 nests, 50 output per week) Current quantity: 685
4. Sandstorm Controllers (20 nests, 100 weekly output) Current number: 700
5. Stone statues of the dead (11 nests, weekly output 110) Current quantity: 1100
Crown Troop——
Mummy Guards (10 lairs, 100 weekly output) Current quantity: 500
Skeleton Blood Dragon 125
Huiyue Troop——
King of the Custodes (3 lairs, 30 output per week) Current quantity: 150
After looking at it for a few times, he frowned slightly.
The last time the Kobold God and the Dune Lord teamed up to attack the Dusk City, they inflicted heavy losses and greatly reduced their army numbers.
Fortunately, the potential of the army has been improved.
Although the total strength is less than 4 brigades, the quality is first-class.
All brilliant.
The highest King of the Forbidden Army has even reached Huiyue 3 Star, with a birth level of 17.
If it was half a year ago, this army would have dazzled him.
But it is a pity that the enemy he faces now is no longer the same troops that gathered in the wild in the desert before.
The current opponent is the master who rules a plane, the evil god in the abyss, and the unknown power from another plane
"We need to blast another wave of soldiers."
"The troop nests in my hands are still not enough."
If used against players, this army is more than enough and can even rub against any opponent.
However, it is not enough to cope with the new expansion pack.
The turmoil this time involves too much, and those forces that have existed for who knows how many years will inevitably show their strength.
The immature City of Twilight has not yet grown to a level that can challenge those top forces.
Richard stretched out his hand and touched a pyramid in front.
Feeling the cold touch of rustling, thoughtfully.
"This time we should focus on cultivating high-level troops."
"The role of a high-level unit in combat is, at some moments, comparable to that of a small team of intermediate units."
"Although the Twilight City is dominated by mummy armies, they are not pure undead, and they are not following the path of the Skeleton Sea."
Quality is king, this is his tenet.
In previous battles, Twilight City's army had never let him down.
Top bosses such as the Ancient Tree of Sin, Dark Valkyrie, and Kratos can influence the direction of a war, but high-level soldiers are also the backbone of the battlefield and cannot be replaced.
War has always been a competition of comprehensive strength among armies, heroes, weapons, strategic treasures, etc.
A war that can be won by relying on one top hero alone must be when that hero's individual combat power far exceeds the sum of the opponent's overall strength.
When the enemy is evenly matched and the top combat effectiveness is entangled, the overall combat effectiveness of the army will inevitably become the winner.
While thinking, Richard asked the surrounding guards to call Karu.
In less than ten minutes, familiar footsteps entered the mansion.
After the other party saluted, Richard went directly to the topic.
"Karoo, I plan to expand the army again."
Karu perked up.
"Wise decision!"
Richard smiled.
"How are Twilight City's recent earnings?"
Before entering the dungeon of Tomb of the Gods, he spent all his savings to upgrade all arms to brilliance.
Now, in addition to harvesting millions of rare resources from players, the food reserves in hand have bottomed out.
Karu straightened his back and sounded confident.
"Sir, the production workshops of Hei Ning Ice Cream have been expanded to 5, with a daily output of 500,000 units.
"Each unit sells for 20 ordinary resources, and the daily sales can reach 10 million ordinary resources, of which the net profit is 8 million units."
"In order to facilitate storage, we at the Violet Chamber of Commerce exchanged it into rare resources at a ratio of 200 to 1."
“That’s 40,000 units of rare resources every day.”
"A total of 500,000 rare resources were saved during your absence."
"White Tail Jue Brewing, this month's revenue is the same as last month, with a selling price of 300,000 units, excluding a cost of 50,000, and a revenue of 250,000 rare resources."
"Desert Crown Honey, a rare resource with a net income of 500,000 yuan"
"Other zeros and zeros have not been taken into account. The total income from these three large input items is 1.25 million."
"Excluding the cost of recruiting troops and the cost of Twilight City, there are still 800,000 rare resources left in the warehouse."
Richard nodded with satisfaction.
Due to the insufficient number of White-tailed Cats, the output of White-Tailed Absolute Brew is almost fixed, and the income from Desert Crown Honey is also similar.
The outstanding results were still brought about by the black condensate sorbet that he had high hopes for.
These products, which sell for 20 units of ordinary resources, have brought him more profit than a 4-star wine like Baiwei Juejeng.
This is before its main raw material, Frost Grass, has yet to be fully rolled out and produced on a large scale.
Once the designated production area is planted, it is not difficult to increase production capacity tenfold.
After praising Karu for a few words, he asked questions following the topic.
"How is the arrangement of the frost grass planting base, the raw material for the production of black sorbet?"
Karu's eyes were excited.
"Sir, two bases have completed infrastructure construction and will be put into production immediately."
"Although frost grass contains a certain amount of magic power, it is not difficult to cultivate. As long as there is sufficient water and fertile land, it can maintain an extremely fast growth rate. A seedling can grow to 300 meters in just two months. Harvesting height ”
"While maintaining fertility, cutting off their leaves will not cause them to die. They will grow back after two months."
"This is a magical plant that can be picked and harvested repeatedly. Its life cycle is as long as 10 years."
"As long as you keep planting, you will continue to harvest."
"The only limitation is that large-scale planting requires a lot of fertilizer, which is a big challenge for us."
When Richard heard this, a plant suddenly appeared in his mind: leek.
The characteristics of this frost grass are the same as those of leeks.
nice one.
Cutting leeks and stuff is so fun.
"As for the fertility of the land, you can look for some wild beasts or livestock that can eat a lot to raise. These livestock can also provide the meat needed by the residents of Twilight City"
Following this development, it seems that this can become an industrial chain.
Karu smiled happily.
"Sir, we are already doing it."
"A week ago, a message was sent to Weir to purchase livestock suitable for breeding in the underground world through the channels of Solan City, but we have not found any suitable for large-scale breeding yet."
Richard nodded, just mention these little things and it will be up to Karu and the people below to do what you want to do.
When we talk about this topic, we have to talk about something that he is very concerned about——
"How is the development of the automatic harvester and seeder in Furnace City?"
As long as you are a player, it is impossible to forget the great leap in productivity brought about by modern technology.
Although the development path of "Glory Era" is different from that of Blue Star, this world has more magical magic and completely unreasonable alchemy technology.
Because the rules of the world are different, it may be difficult to restore Blue Star's machine 100%, but using another method can achieve the same effect.
"We have already begun to see the outlines, and it is estimated that it will take shape in at most one month."
Karu's tone was filled with strong confidence.
Furnace City has actually become the technological center of Twilight City.
All tasks related to alchemy technology will be handed down and handed over.
The other party's research and development progress did not disappoint.
Richard smiled a little.
The benefits brought by conquering the underground world are still flowing back to Twilight City.
This is very comfortable.
After thinking about it, I gave an extra warning.
"Currently, the focus of Furnace City is still on the production of war materials."
"Although these studies are for the future, they can be pushed back a little and will not affect the next war."
His thoughts were very clear and he was not blinded by some achievements.
Great changes are coming, and if Twilight City cannot be preserved, no matter how bright the future is, it will be useless.
The key now is to concentrate all efforts, strengthen ourselves, and prepare to deal with unknown enemies.
"Yes, my lord!"
Seeing Kalu's serious expression, Richard nodded and continued.
“Where are the supplies accumulated during this period?”
"Place it in Warehouse No. 2."
Carew stretched out his hand to point in a certain direction.
"It turns out that the warehouse of the Lord's Mansion can no longer accommodate these supplies."
"It just so happened that Weir handed over an architectural drawing of the space warehouse and provided the corresponding building materials. We completed the construction a week ago."
Richard looked at the other party with admiration.
That was why he valued the old man so much.
When he is not in Twilight City, the other party can still keep Twilight City in good development and not fall into confusion.
This kind of thing may not seem like a big deal, but when accumulated, it plays an irreplaceable role in the growth of Twilight City.
He has absolute control over the Twilight City. No one can seize power without his approval. The army, heroes, residents, and staff are all loyal to him.
So he can delegate power with peace of mind.
"I'll take it out later."
After talking about this matter, Richard's face became serious.
"Are there any new space cracks emerging around Twilight City?"
Karu perked up and said in a deep voice.
"We have sent a large number of troops out to search, and the scope of exploration has expanded to one hundred kilometers."
"But based on what has been detected, only refugees from the El plane have appeared, and no other cracks have been found."
Richard felt a little more at ease.
He recovered all his military power because he was worried that more than ten planes would suddenly appear around him, covering the Twilight City.
No one can predict what will happen at that time.
The letters from Xina and the Dark Valkyrie have already stated that the Krina tribe is experiencing such a situation.
So it's not that he overthinks it.
If you don’t take precautions before they happen, you won’t be able to cry when a crisis occurs.
"How many refugees from the El Plane have we accepted? What is the current total population of Twilight City?"
"Sir, we have received about 4,000 refugees in the past half month, and the total population has reached 7,000."
7,000 people. This figure seemed to be a lot, but Richard felt inexplicably sad.
Players who were born in areas rich in natural resources can easily reach a population of more than 10,000 in just two months. After half a year, there are many territories with a population of more than 100,000.
On the forum, it’s not uncommon for those lucky people to show off.
Even those players in barren areas that are not deserts have a population of tens of thousands.
Twilight City has been developing for more than half a year, and it only has a pitiful 7,000 people.
Most of them were collected recently.
This place where a bird doesn't poop is simply making people cry.
If other players were born in the Desert of Death and their territory was invaded, it must be because the population could not make ends meet and died of poverty.
After coming back to his senses, he said with some expectation.
"Have you found any high-level heroes among the refugees?"
Karu shook his head decisively.
"No, there are only three life-style heroes with D-level potential."
The corners of Richard's mouth twitched and he was speechless.
He suddenly thought of his own skills that could attract foreign heroes to join him.
Those skills would make tens of billions of players drool when told about them, but they are so damn good, Twilight City is in the desert.
Attracted a loneliness.
Until now, he seems to have not seen any heroes take the initiative to seek refuge.
It's not that his skills are weak, it's that there really aren't even dogs in the desert.
As for those field units refreshed by the rules, they will be restricted by the rules. It is impossible to join the foreign enemy before they are defeated.
After Karu finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and asked softly.
"Sir, should we temporarily stop our operations in the El plane and withdraw the remaining troops?"
Now Twilight City is undergoing strategic contraction.
Continuing to conquer the El plane is obviously inconsistent with the strategic positioning.
If you want to fight, it's not during this time.
After Richard pondered for a moment, he said slowly.
"Recall some of the troops, but we must also maintain contact with the opponent and not interrupt it"
After he paused for a few seconds, he added.
"If the two princesses are willing, you can invite them to live in Twilight City for a period of time. After the crisis is over, Twilight City will do its best to assist."
Karu's eyes lit up.
"Are you planning to conquer them?"
Richard shook his head.
"It may not be possible, but they are firm enough in their goal of restoring the country."
"But with the cohesion and appeal of Twilight City, it will definitely affect them"
"This is enough."
Carew mused.
Richard said nothing more.
The value contained in the El Plane is obviously higher than that of the underground world.
But now is not the time.
He doesn't have that much energy to deal with Cha Cha extraordinary who has already taken control of a country and is involved with the evil god of the abyss.
After this topic was over, Richard continued.
"Has Bloodhoof City cleaned up the remaining power in the underground world?"
After he became the de facto master of the underground world, he handed over the task of completely unifying the underground world to the apparent overlord of Bloodhoof City.
"Sir, the entire underground world has been brought under the rule of Bloodhoof City, even those tribes living in swamps or poisonous areas are no exception."
After the fall of the gray dwarves, Bloodhoof City has become unstoppable in the underground world.
Coupled with the full support of Twilight City, he has no worries, and all those who bow down will be worshiped by the blade.
Those who disobey will directly become history.
"We have sent people to cooperate with Bloodhoof City to sort out the heroes and soldiers of the tribes, as well as the mining resources and specialty materials in the occupied areas, and register them one by one."
"But this project is more troublesome than a war. Coupled with the lack of manpower, it may take more than a month."
This was a plan that was originally planned, and is now being implemented step by step.
Although the environment in the underground world is harsh, survival supplies such as water and food are in short supply.
But its value has been clearly demonstrated in Melting Pot City.
Complete unification now will definitely bring greater benefits.
Seeing Richard thinking without making a sound, Karu continued.
"Sir, are we going to take it upon ourselves to integrate the entire underground world?"
"If the underground world can be made to move forward completely according to our orders, the potential to explode will be amazing."
Richard smiled.
I saw what Karu was thinking. He was jealous of the underground world with a large population and wanted to participate in it himself.
But instead of giving him affirmation, he directly poured cold water on him.
"The dungeons are all beings from the evil camp. If you want to integrate them, it will definitely be extremely difficult."
"And they are not one race or one life. There are hundreds of races and thousands of forces. Even if they are successfully integrated, you will eventually find that the cost of ruling them is too high."
"The gain outweighs the loss."
"The best way at present is to follow the original plan and let those evil beings become the arsenal of Twilight City."
"We only need to guide in the general direction, and leave the rest to Bloodhoof City and them to arrange themselves."
After hearing this, Karu recovered from his excitement.
He smiled bitterly.
"The population of Twilight City is still too small. There are nearly a million intelligent beings in the underground world, which makes me very excited."
Those evil beings are basically ordinary dungeon beings, and the actual army is less than one-tenth.
There are even fewer high-level arms like Bloodhoof City has.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the entire underground world to be ruled by Gray Dwarves and Bloodhoof City with only tens of thousands of troops for hundreds of years.
But here's the problem, ordinary dungeon life is still evil, and the cost of governance is extremely high.
But if all the people living in the underground world are ordinary humans, it is definitely worth a lot of money - as lawful good beings, although they are easily tempted by various temptations and fall into the embrace of evil.
But human creativity and unlimited potential are unmatched by other races.
There are gods in the sky, and human gods are the best example.
This is why he values the El Plane so much. (End of chapter)
