Chapter 519: 6 million rare resources, the first wave of profits from conquering the El plane, players appear
Richard witnessed the entire battle between the player and the orc aboriginal forces and their victory.
While I was excited, I also felt a bit stressed.
In this war, more than 500,000 players participated in the war, and nearly 100 million troops and tens of thousands of legions were mobilized. The exaggerated data made him feel excited.
The power of Twilight City is far ahead of any top player.
Not to mention two extraordinary and almost invincible people in hand.
But what if things change and players join forces?
Can one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, or even one hundred thousand million Dusk City still be able to withstand it?
This question made him think deeply.
After thinking for a long time, Richard finally smiled.
There are really nearly tens of thousands of legions attacking, with a strength of over 100 million. He still has the Eternal Land.
As long as the door to space is closed, no one can do anything to him.
But when it reaches that level, it must be driven to a dead end.
After taking a deep breath, his eyes gradually returned to firmness.
Since he has no interest in forming or joining any forces, let Twilight City have the power to crush all forces.
He alone is the desert camp, no matter how many enemies there are, so what!
His eyes were so heroic.
It took a long time to recover.
The strategy is far-reaching, but one must also be sure-footed.
The City of Twilight still needs to continue farming and development.
Moreover, the tentacles of the Lord of Corruption will extend to the Twilight City in one and a half months, in early March.
In the sky outside the city, the cracks in the space temporarily closed by the dwarf god are expanding every day.
The Sword of Damocles hanging above his head became more and more threatening.
He needed to seize the time to become stronger and cut off the dagger at his throat.
The passage of time does not change according to anyone's will.
On January 20, four days had passed since the player battle and Emeryda took control of the Lion Duke's territory.
In the past few days, players have entered a state of excitement, and their exploration of the plane has become more and more exaggerated. The losses are not small, but the gains are equally rich.
According to statistics from people who are interested, the overall strength of players is increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Players are active in the chapter of plane exploration, and Twilight City has not stopped conquering El.
After the two princesses of the El royal family relied on the extraordinary boss Emerilda, they used the team of the Lion Archduke to raise an army of more than five legions.
Although there are less than two legions of real elites, they are already much stronger than the beginning with nothing.
The demise of the Lion Duke was not kept secret for long before it was publicized.
This move immediately caused an uproar.
Many forces began to become restless, and some big nobles even secretly sent letters to express their support and loyalty to the two princesses.
The fall of the El royal family was short-lived. There were many people who were greedy for power but not many who were loyal. In addition, the Duke of Wrath-blood was particularly cold-blooded in his rebellion, which also made many people dissatisfied.
Seeing that they couldn't hide anything, the two princesses simply raised the banner of the El royal family and called on everyone to fight against the despicable and cruel betrayer-the Grand Duke of Wrathblood.
With a clear flag, the El plane began to stir up trouble.
With people's hearts fluctuating, the Angry Blood Archduke began to dispatch troops from various provinces to encircle and suppress the Lion Archduke's territory from all directions.
This traitor to the Kingdom of El intends to annihilate the last remaining resistance force of the royal family in one fell swoop.
From the perspective of discerning people, the main reason why the situation developed like this was the betrayer's deliberate connivance.
The current ruler of the Kingdom of El wants to eradicate the last hope of the Royal Family of El in front of everyone.
Use blood to establish your prestige.
As long as this battle can be won, the entire Kingdom of El will be completely under his control.
On January 22, when the El plane was in turmoil and a war that could determine the fate of the entire plane was brewing, Richard, who was finally able to escape from the cumbersome affairs, planned to leave for the El plane to take charge of the overall situation.
But just a minute before leaving the lord's mansion, he got good news.
"Ding~ After the blacksmith shop's non-stop research day and night, the attack technology of the stone statue of the dead has been upgraded to the special level, and it has gained a new feature - Broken Mountain."
"Note: Each stone statue of the dead can consume 500 units of gems to upgrade its technology in the blacksmith shop. Newly recruited stone statues of the dead can directly obtain this attack characteristic."
"Broken Mountain (Special) concentrates all its power on the battle ax and bursts out, launching a fatal blow to a single target. For enemies with lower potential or level than itself, the instant death feature - Soul Execution will be triggered; for enemies with higher potential or level Causes triple damage to one's own enemies, plus 40% armor-piercing damage."
In order to improve the progress of technological research and development, Richard ordered Adair, who presided over the Blacksmiths Association in the underground world, to recruit outstanding blacksmiths and send them back to the Twilight City.
At the beginning of this month, the 20 selected blacksmiths were brought back to the Twilight City by Adele and were responsible for assisting Sam, the one-armed blacksmith, in the research and development.
After more than half a month, with their joint efforts, the attack technology of the Stone Statue of the Dead finally improved to a leapfrog height.
When Richard looked at the new feature of the stone statue of the dead, the smile on his face was particularly bright.
Every harvest made him feel that his previous investment was not in vain.
The same is true for establishing an environment for sharing forging technology in the underground world, and the same is true for investing in technological research and development.
With the characteristics attached to the super-grade technology, the Stone Statue of the Dead, the trump card of the Twilight City, is really heading towards the path of metamorphosis.
Broken Mountain is a powerful single-target attack skill.
Looking down, this skill can execute units whose potential and level are lower than one's own. Up, it can greatly make up for its own lack of damage to the enemy's top units.
If used to surround the boss, it can immediately explode with huge lethality, and there is no need to worry about not being able to break through the defense.
The upper limit of its combat power has soared again.
The only thing that makes him helpless is that the promotion of each stone statue of the dead requires 500 units of gems.
This time, five or six hundred thousand units will be consumed.
Richard could only shake his head and lament that the development of the territory in any aspect would consume huge amounts of resources.
However, the resources are definitely well spent.
After recovering his mind, he opened the technology panel of Twilight City and took a look.
Ax of the Dead: Primary Attack Technology
Bandaged Mummy: Intermediate Attack Technology
Statue of the Dead: Advanced Attack Technology
Scorpion Warrior: Master Attack Technology
Richard felt a little sad.
In more than half a year, he only developed the technology of four types of soldiers - and the bandaged mummies and stone statues of the dead were of little use due to various reasons.
The only technologies that can be used now are the stone statues of the dead and the scorpion warriors.
Too slow.
Some distress.
Technological advancement is something that requires the most time to settle.
But the current situation forced him to tighten up and do everything possible to speed up his improvement in this area.
Time waits for no one, and the enemies in Twilight City will not give him so much room to develop.
After thinking for a moment, he fully planned to call the R&D staff such as Sam and Blacksmith to explain the next R&D task, when the system prompt sounded again.
"Ding~ The number of heroes researched and developed by the Blacksmith Shop exceeds twenty, and a special technology has been successfully researched through cooperation. The Blacksmith Shop can activate the team research and development mode."
"Team R&D mode: It requires at least 10 related professional heroes to activate it. After it is activated, the R&D speed will be increased by 20% and the R&D success rate will be increased by 20%. For each additional person, the R&D speed and R&D success rate will be increased by 2%, with a maximum limit of 50%. ”
"Note: In the team research and development mode, the resources consumed cannot be saved by the characteristics of a single hero and must be paid in full."
"Note 2: Increasing resource investment will appropriately speed up research."
After reading the sudden prompt several times, Li Cha was quite pleasantly surprised.
I didn’t expect that there are so many people engaged in scientific research that such a practical feature can be activated.
This is a bit confusing.
For scientific and technological research, this feature is priceless.
After thinking about it, I opened the arms and looked at them as a whole.
For now, the first thing to study is the Forbidden King of Star Huiyue 3, plus the combined unit - the Sandstorm Controller.
The attack technology of these two powerful arms is still blank.
As a caster unit, the Sandstorm Controller needs a Mage Tower to research technology. The Blacksmith Shop does not have this ability, so it can be postponed.
But Hui Yue 3 Star, the King of the Forbidden Army who was born at level 17, was the backbone in his hands.
Especially after the black gold system can directly synthesize the unit nest of the King of the Forbidden Army, the strategic value of this unit with powerful attack power has skyrocketed.
When there is a lack of resources and promotion potential, attack technology is undoubtedly the fastest and least expensive way to improve the combat effectiveness of a unit.
Thinking of this, I took another look at the technology of the stone statue of the dead and tried to put it in the blacksmith shop for research.
But the next second, his little thoughts were immediately broken.
"Ding~ The current level of Twilight City is a third-level middle city. The upper limit of the technology level that can be researched is: special level. Please upgrade to a big city and then research this technology."
Above the special level is the master level, and the third-level middle city does not have the authority to develop it.
Richard shook his head and glanced at the master-level technology of the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior with some emotion.
This technology was originally an exception due to various reasons.
If this technology were put on the King of the Custodes, it would be very advanced.
After regaining consciousness, ask the guards to call Andele and Sam to the lord's mansion.
Not long after the soldiers left, a sound of footsteps came from outside.
Andele, who was dirty and had panda eyes, and Sam, who had only one arm, stepped into the house.
After seeing Richard, he immediately saluted.
"Good day, Lord Richard"
Richard looked at An Daier with some amusement, who didn't tilt her head after entering the room and was too embarrassed to let him see.
This girl, with her good looks, was all delayed by scientific research.
He looked at the excited one-armed blacksmith.
"Sam, have you made any new progress in your research on the stone statues of the dead?"
Sam immediately cheered up.
"Yes, my lord."
"Thanks to the dungeon blacksmiths brought by Lord Andel from the underground world, we are making an additional strengthening of the body of the stone statue of the dead. The specific steps are to smelt it with rare resources and then..."
Sam talked for seven or eight minutes before finally stopping.
Richard couldn't help but smile. These scientific researchers seemed to be very excited when talking about their own fields.
After appreciating the other person several times, he said softly.
"Group scientific research is undoubtedly a good way to greatly speed up research progress. You have done a great job."
He said and looked at the girl beside him.
"Andele, you continue to go to Bloodhoof City to find a blacksmith for us. Even if the level is lower, it doesn't matter. You can first research the primary attack technology of the troops."
"The current situation is unstable and we need a stronger army to protect the Twilight City."
Although expenditures in all aspects are increasing, the speed at which Twilight City earns resources is also different.
Supporting the scientific research expenses of several arms at the same time is not a problem.
Andel's spirits perked up.
"Yes, my lord!!"
"After the Forger's Association has been operating normally, it has successfully attracted a large number of dungeon lifeforms to come to study. During this period, many talents have emerged that are fully sufficient for our use."
Richard nodded with satisfaction.
The essence of the establishment of Bloodhoof City's Blacksmiths' Association is to promote the improvement of forging technology in the underground world, thereby providing greater benefits to Twilight City.
Under the auspices of Andel, blacksmiths from a large number of races shared their forging secrets and techniques.
Thanks to mutual learning and promotion, the improvement rate of these blacksmiths is very impressive.
From this, we discovered that it is also appropriate to recruit a group of talents.
As for whether those talents will agree to come to Twilight City, Twilight City is not negotiating terms with them. This is a recruitment and an order!
Not willing? Sorry, this option is not available.
As the real controller of the underground world, Richard's orders are the only rules.
"After you go down, bring those seedlings up immediately. I will build two more blacksmith shops later for their research."
After Richard finished speaking, he felt a little regretful.
The troops in Twilight City are all recruited from the troop lairs, and basically all come with their own weapons.
The blacksmith shop currently plays a major role in scientific research rather than conventional weapon forging.
In the territories of lords such as humans orcs, a large part of their troops are recruited from the residents. After training in the barracks, they can become soldiers. At this time, the blacksmith shop must be used to forge weapons for the army.
Twilight City takes a different path from most people.
Of course, this is what Richard did deliberately. The advantage of doing this is that it can greatly reduce the consumption of logistics, allowing his resources to be invested in other aspects.
Relatively speaking, the disadvantages are negligible.
Just as a few people were discussing the next scientific research plan, suddenly there was a loud noise outside.
Richard subconsciously turned his head to look, but his vision was blocked and he could not see the specific situation outside.
In the midst of doubts, a mummy guardian stepped into the room.
"Master, Lord Gunter is back."
Gunter is back?
Richard's eyes narrowed slightly.
In the past few days, turmoil has been rising in the El plane, and the Angry Blood Justice is mobilizing troops to plan a complete annihilation of the El royal family.
At this juncture, why did Gunter, an important member of the team, suddenly come back?
Didn't the other party send back the news before, and it would be at least half a month before the two sides could enter the real war stage? Has the situation changed?
While he was thinking, a figure wrapped in a bloody bandage and holding a dark magic ball appeared at the door.
A-level mummy hero-Gaunt, a blood lich.
As soon as the other party entered the room, Richard immediately felt that this mummy hero became a little different.
The bloody bandage wrapped around Gunter's shriveled body seemed to come alive at this moment, constantly flowing on his body, bewitching and terrifying.
The aura on his body gives people a strong sense of oppression, like a miniature dragon.
With some curiosity, I opened the opponent's attribute panel. After taking a look, I was quite pleasantly surprised.
Gunter
Hero Unit
Level: 18
The other party was only level 14 when he went to the El Plane, but he had been promoted to level 18 after not seeing him for more than half a month! !
This speed is a bit exaggerated.
"Gunt, what did you encounter in the El plane? Why did your level increase so quickly?"
Hearing Richard's surprised tone, Gunter said excitedly after saluting.
"Master, we discovered the treasure trove of the Lion Archduke!"
"In order to break through to transcendence, the Lion Archduke used extremely evil sacrificial methods to create a blood pool."
"The energy inside has been accumulated for more than ten years."
"Coincidentally, I was born from blood, and that blood pool is very consistent with my power."
"I benefited from this and got a huge improvement."
Richard was in a pretty good mood.
In the past few days, I have been watching players show off their achievements in exploring the planes, and now it is finally his turn.
Potential A-level, level 18 caster heroes already have strategic value.
Used well, it can influence the victory of a battle. Gunter possesses large-scale strategic magic such as Corpse Explosion.
Gray was promoted from the Cursed Pharaoh to an A-level hero, while Gunter was promoted from the Bandage Mummy. Although the two heroes are now in the Twilight City where talents are abundant, they are no longer considered top-notch heroes.
But in the early days of Twilight City, he made countless contributions.
Now Gunter can catch up with the main players, which makes him quite happy.
After praising the other party for a few words, he couldn't help but wonder.
"Didn't the army search through the territory of the Lion Archduke before? How did they find the treasure house now?"
The exploration progress of the El Plane will be reported on time every day.
Important matters were reported every few hours. He had not received any news about the treasure house before. Obviously, the treasure house was discovered only recently.
Speaking of this, Richard looked a little unkind. By raiding Grand Duke Lion's house, he obtained less than 200 million units of ordinary resources and less than 500,000 units of rare resources.
This resource seems to be quite a lot, but this is the territory of a grand duke, who commands hundreds of thousands of residents.
He didn't even ask the army to transport this pitiful amount, but left it all to the two El princesses - it consumes a lot of resources to support the army.
So until now, I haven't harvested many resources from the El Plane.
Gunter responded in a deep voice.
"Master, this is because a few hours ago, we captured the eldest son of the Lion Archduke who secretly sneaked back into the territory and wanted to instigate rebellion against the army."
"The other party couldn't stand the torture, so he revealed the treasure trove that the Grand Duke of Lion had specially hidden to prevent accidents."
He spoke in a somewhat high-pitched tone.
"Not only did I get huge benefits from it, but we also found a large amount of rare resources from the treasure house. The Lion Archduke put a lot of the family's savings in that treasure house."
"After discussion, we decided to transport this batch of resources back from the El Plane first."
These words aroused great interest in Richard.
Good guy, after these few months, do you finally have some meat to eat?
"How many resources were seized this time?"
Gunter said in an encouraging tone.
"The rare resources are estimated to exceed 6 million units. In addition, there are three rare-level special building drawings"
"We also found 10 crown-level troop nests inside."
6 million rare resources? ?
Three rare architectural drawings? 10 crown troop lairs?
Richard's heart surged when he heard this.
This is the correct way to explore the plane! !
The so-called sudden wealth of those players on the forum is simply not worth mentioning.
The accumulation of a great prince is rich enough.
With this resource, he can upgrade all the glorious level troop nests in his hands to the crown level!
Amidst the ups and downs of my mood, I immediately thought further. If a Lion Archduke can hide so much wealth, how much should the entire Kingdom of El have?
What kind of wealth does that extraordinary-level Duke of Angry Blood have?
The El plane directly became a delicious cake with sweet honey and cream in his heart.
If you don’t eat all the El Plane in this wave, you would be really sorry for this opportunity.
Gunter didn't speak when he saw him. He paused for a moment and then said with some hesitation.
"Master, when we captured the eldest son of the Lion Archduke, we also found traces of Lord Divine Grace beside him"
"After interrogation, it was found that there are many Divine Grace Lords active on the side of the Angry Blood Archduke, and those Divine Grace Lords seem to have accepted the task of attacking the El Royal Family"
"Next, we will definitely clash with those grace lords!"
Are there other players spying on the El Plane?
Richard was slightly startled, and then the corners of his mouth raised high.
With this wave of gains, the El Plane has been regarded as his private territory.
These guys want to seize food from the Twilight City?
What a courageous person. (End of chapter)
