Chapter 521: Expedition to the El Plane
The changes in the underground world were silent, and Richard did not pay all his attention to it at this time.
His eyes were burning as he looked at the mummy hero Gunter who had brought back exaggerated profits from the El Plane.
6 million units of rare resources, 3 special building drawings and 10 crown troop nests.
The first wave of income gained from the El Plane was so rich that he felt excited.
After calming down for a while, he said slowly.
"Have you brought those special architectural drawings with you?"
Gunter nodded and shook the dark magic ball in his hand slightly. A special magic power emerged from it, and then quickly condensed in the air.
In the blink of an eye, three drawings floated in mid-air.
With strong anticipation, Richard reached out and took it.
Checked it carefully.

6. Unknown (requires a god to be believed in to activate)
Introduction: Special buildings, if they have gods they believe in, will also inspire special attributes.
After reading the first two drawings, a bright smile appeared on Richard's face.
Whether it's a school or a church, both buildings are good.
The school can produce heroes and speed up the learning of knowledge, which is worth a lot of money to the Twilight City. The literacy class that has been doing before has a better place.
The church reminded him of the Dark Ancient God Sect - if his plan was feasible, then this would be the cornerstone for the growth of the new sect in the future.
Looking at the last one with interest.
Tavern (Special)
Level: Special
Features: 1. After being stored in the tavern for a week, the taste of the wine can be improved by 30%.
2. The higher the level of the wine you have, the more likely it is to attract high-level heroes.
Introduction: Perhaps, you can find some powerful heroes from the tavern.
A tavern that attracts heroes?
Richard was happy at first, and then his expression became a little strange.
Damn it, this is a barren desert of death. What kind of hero is not heroic? Who would come to the desert when they have nothing to do?
He has the ability to attract heroes, and he hasn't seen anyone come to seek refuge with him yet.
It's great that a week of cellaring can improve the taste of wine by 30%.
White tail must-wine can now be sold at a higher price.
After closing the drawing, Richard felt much better.
In any case, these three drawings are very good and fill the current gap in Twilight City.
Especially schools and churches.
However, these buildings cannot produce immediate results. It will take a long time to realize their value, and they cannot be expected in a short time.
After seeing and reading, Gunter handed over the troop nest.
When the troop nest is not placed, it can basically be grasped with one hand and is in a mini shape.
Richard took a look and found that these units were all Crown 1-star and Crown 2-star human units with average attributes and no potential for cultivation.
But it is also a good income, which is suitable for upgrading the troop nests.
"Gaunt, you guys did a good job this time. You go back to the El plane first and continue to assist the two princesses in organizing the resistance army."
"In three days, I will go there with the army. If there are any changes in the situation, report to me immediately."
"As for those divine grace lords, you can continue to send people to inquire about their news, and you can ask the two princesses to give them tasks to see if you can win them over."
"Lords of Divine Grace are a group of beings with no bottom line. As long as the price is high enough, they won't mind betrayal."
Gunter immediately nodded in agreement.
After Gunter left, Richard walked out of the lord's mansion easily and collected all the rare resources in the boxes.
The total was similar to Gunter's estimate, just over 6 million units.
With resources in hand, his heart immediately became hot.
What are resources? army!
The foundation that all lords in "Glory Age" cannot live without.
Now prepare to start another round of violent troops.
As time goes by, the enemies faced by Twilight City are no longer the weaklings who guarded resource points in the wild.
One is stronger than the other.
Although the brilliant-level units are not weak, they are no longer the main force.
In addition, outside the Twilight City, the Lord of Corruption might collapse the space cracks at any time, which kept him worried.
This time he wants to promote all the brilliant-level troops to the crown level.
To promote a brilliant unit to a crown, each unit requires 100,000 ordinary-level unit nests.
The glorious troop nests currently owned by Twilight City are - Scorpion Warriors (20 nests), Mummy Guardians (3 nests), Sand Archers (10 nests), Sandstorm Controllers (20 nests)
The total adds up to 53 seats.
All upgrades require 5.3 million ordinary-level troop nests.
Although the price of each ordinary soldier nest on the market is only two units of rare resources.
But the quantity he wanted was too large, and it was calculated that tens of millions of rare resources would be needed.
This is an exaggerated figure for Twilight City.
However, with the 6 million that Gunter brought back, this time's violent plan can already be carried out.
Richard began to make calculations in his mind.
Since January, although the external situation has been unpredictable for more than half a month, the production and development of Twilight City has not stopped.
Because of the investment in the Alchemy Seeder and Harvester, Hei Ning Sorbet no longer had any psychological pressure and began to increase production in large quantities.
Half of the 20 food workshops can already operate day and night.
If it weren't for the fact that the newly sown frost grass won't fully mature until next month, 20 food workshops may not be enough.
But even so, with full power, only half of January passed, Dusk City's revenue from Hei Ning Ice Cream was more than three times that of December.
A total of 3 million units of rare resources were collected.
This project, for which he had high hopes, began to take off.
In addition, White Tail Absolute Brew and Desert Crown Honey are also providing stable profits.
The total revenue from these two items is 750,000 rare resources.
But what surprised him the most was the weapons sales in Bloodhoof City.
Because the underground world has ushered in a long-lost peace, and the Blacksmith Association has opened up a large number of forging skills in the past two months, the blacksmiths of the Dungeon Clan have been greatly improved.
The advancement of science and technology is the main factor in the development of productivity. The policy he formulated has received an unexpected and generous return this month.
From the sales of weapons in Bloodhoof City alone, Twilight City directly earned 4 million units of rare resources.
This sale has caused a heated discussion on the forum.
However, apart from these benefits, what surprised Richard the most was the Naga plane——
This has become the home ground for battles between more than twenty planes, with leaks everywhere.
Every day there are lives from different planes fighting each other.
And many of these lives were showered with blood on the night when the crimson moon rose.
After death, these soldiers who have gained the power of the ancient gods have a certain chance of exploding special treasures - Stones of the Old Days that can replace rare resources.
After devouring a large number of corpses, the Corruption Swamp obtained three thousand Old Stones for him.
Each Stone of the Old Day can be used to deduct 1,000 units of rare resources.
Including the more than 1,000 originally obtained from hunting Naga, he had more than 4,000 in his hands.
After all, that's 4 million rare resources.
Coupled with the millions of resources that were originally left, the total of these rare resources in his hands reached a record-breaking 9 million units and 4,000 stones of the past.
Counting the 6 million rare resources that Gunter brought back, the number of rare resources in his hands has reached a quantity that would make any player's eyes red with envy.
On January 25th, after finishing his busy work, Richard looked at his bulging wallet and finally started the violent attack on the eve of this round of war.
First, 10.6 million rare resources were spent to directly purchase 5.3 million unit nests.
Arriving boldly in front of the lord's mansion, he was promoted on a large scale.
After all the Brilliant-level troop nests are promoted to the Crown, resources will be spent to promote all the previously Brilliant Troops to the Crown Troops——
The promotion of each brilliant unit requires 2,400 units.
Coupled with the recruitment for more than half a month, he has more than 3,000 brilliant troops, and as a result, he directly spent more than 8 million rare resources.
Richard's newly bulging wallet shrank to just over a million.
In this regard, he could only lament his poverty. Every time he could only live a few days as a wealthy landlord, he would have to face the life of a poor household again.
But after his exaggerated consumption, this round of violent troops brought the army of Twilight City to an exaggerated height.
Crown Troop——
1. Poisonous Scorpion Warriors (20 nests, weekly output 140) Current quantity: 1210
2. Mummy Guardians (3 nests, weekly output 30) Current quantity: 210
3. Sand Archers (10 nests, 50 output per week) Current quantity: 885
4. Sandstorm Controllers (20 nests, 100 weekly output) Current number: 1100
5. Stone statues of the dead (20 nests, weekly output 200) Current quantity: 1600
6. Mummy Guards (10 nests, 100 weekly output) Current number: 900
7. King of the Forbidden Army (13 nests, weekly output 130) Current quantity: 680
8. Skeleton Blood Dragon 200
Huiyue Troop——
King of the Custodes (3 lairs, 30 output per week) Current quantity: 270
Looking at the data on the property panel, Richard felt particularly happy.
Especially the column of the Stone Statues of the Dead. Originally, the Stone Statues of the Dead only had 11 nests, but at the beginning of the month, he started to cultivate a batch of units needed for synthesis-the Ax of the Dead and the Dark Gargoyle.
After hurrying and slowing down, finally in this round of upgrades, the 10 harvested crown troop nests were used to re-synthesize the troop of 9 stone statues of the dead, increasing the number of stone statues of the dead from 11 to 20.
The weekly output has increased to 20 teams.
"If it weren't for recruiting an army that requires a lot of resources, we would have to have hundreds of crown troops."
Richard stood in the front yard of the lord's mansion, looking at the densely packed troops, feeling excited but also a little emotional.
Promotion of troops is the first step. Recruitment requires consuming resources every week, and this is where the bulk of the cost lies.
There are now more than a hundred crown troop nests, reaching the critical point of Twilight City. If there are any more, he can't bear it.
If there are no resources to recruit, there is no point in upgrading the troops.
Just looking at it won't satisfy your hunger.
This wave of violent troops once again widened the gap between Twilight City and other lords.
At present, the overall level of players still remains in an environment where rare arms are the mainstay and brilliant arms are the elite.
Crown-level troops exist among a handful of top players, and they have only mastered a part of them.
Most of them may have one or two squadrons, and the fewest may be one or two squads that are obtained by completing some tasks by chance.
The higher the level of the troop nest, the more difficult it is to obtain.
The probability of harvesting a crown-level troop nest in the wild is pitifully small, even with the huge base of players.
Although exploring the planes now brings a lot of benefits to some players, it does not change this fact.
The Twilight City is an organized crown-level legion.
Fundamentally, it has distanced itself from the players.
But the most important thing is that Twilight City has established a complete industrial system.
The alchemy technology of Furnace City, the weapon forging of Bloodhoof City, the black gel sorbet, the white tail brew, etc., these are the most valuable things in Twilight City.
It can generate huge profits for Twilight City every month.
And more importantly, Richard is still increasing construction in this area.
Once the industry enters a positive cycle, the future of Twilight City cannot be pried into by any player.
Richard has never set his sights on players. Enemies at the level of Spider Queen Rose, Lord of Rot, and Kobold God are the threats to Twilight City.
After calming down, Richard's eyes gradually became sharper.
He turned to look at the soldier beside him and spoke word by word.
"Blow the horn, let the army assemble. Go out to the plane of El."
——
The plane of El, the capital of the kingdom.
In the dark sky, thunder and lightning flashed in the dark clouds that pressed over the city, making bursts of dull roars.
The depressive atmosphere filled the air made people feel breathless.
A burly figure over three meters tall wearing a blood-colored cloak stood on the city wall.
The opponent pressed one hand on the cold stone of the city wall and the other on the unsheathed sword at his waist.
The Chinese-character face was full of solemnity, and the blue eyes were deep and cold.
There was a faint smell of blood coming from his body, as if he had just been killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which made people's hearts tremble.
The bloody crown on his head added a bit of nobility.
Behind them were a large number of warriors wearing heavy armor. Their golden armor made them look majestic and domineering.
In the sky, a large number of flying troops protected the city wall airtight.
After a moment, the strong man with the Chinese character face slowly turned around, glanced around, and stopped on a stern-faced general beside him.
"Have there been any new news recently about the two remnants of the El royal family?"
The general did not dare to look directly into the opponent's oppressive eyes and lowered his head in response.
"Your Majesty, according to Lord Divine Grace's report, the other party has made contact with other planes. And it is very likely that it is the main plane."
He said with a bit of hesitation in his tone.
"Most of those nobles who have not been loyal to you have raised the flag of rebellion and moved closer to the two princesses."
"The time has come. Do we need to launch a general offensive to completely wipe out those remnants?"
The man with a Chinese character face wearing a bloody crown said slowly.
"Let's get started."
"These rebellions should have been crushed long ago."
"I have no interest in playing with them anymore"
"Those divine grace lords reported that the obelisk contains extremely precious treasures."
As he spoke, his eyes showed a bit of fear.
"But the guard is too powerful. Not only do we need to use all our strength, we may even suffer huge losses."
"Only by quelling all rebellions can we let go."
As he finished speaking, his face revealed a strong desire.
"This world cannot stop us from conquering."
"The main plane is the birthplace of the gods. When we take out the treasures from the obelisk, we will concentrate our efforts to conquer me on the main plane. Why can't we climb to the top of the throne and become immortal!" (End of Chapter)
