Chapter 581: Violent troops, violent troops!
After Richard experimented for a long time, he was satisfied with the strength in his body and sat back on Alves' back.
The only regret in my heart is that after the old rules are activated, the gods will lose their authority.
Although he controls the desert authority, he may not have the chance to obtain it all.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He ignored the traces left when he tried the power of authority and drove the undead dragon under him to gallop towards the Twilight City.
Interestingly, many players who saw the sand waves swallowing up the world in the distance came to explore with great interest after the situation calmed down.
When they saw the circular sand waves, they were all shocked.
They can guarantee that this area on the edge of the desert has never seen anything like this before.
Now I started to explore like crazy.
With such a big movement, there is a high probability that some ancient ruins have appeared!
The movement in the sand wave was so huge that it could not be concealed at all. It was spread to ten people and hundreds of times, and finally it turned into an ancient ruin and was about to appear.
Attract a large number of players.
But unfortunately, it seems that their level is too low and no abnormality was found at all.
This matter gradually faded away. Later, some players discovered that even if a sandstorm blows over, this ring-shaped area will not be destroyed and will still maintain its original appearance.
Over time, this circular sand wave became a legend in this area.
Even in the end, it attracted countless players to explore and find the secrets.
When we returned to the Twilight City, the sky had already darkened, and only the last afterglow of the colorful clouds was left flowing in the blue-black sky.
After letting Alves leave with the skeleton blood dragon, Richard and the Dark Valkyrie returned to the lord's mansion.
Before finishing the cup of tea, Karu entered the hall excitedly after receiving the news.
Richard looked at this particularly excited butler with amusement.
"Carew, why are you so excited about the good news?"
After Karu saluted, he grinned and said in a high-pitched voice.
"Sir, Miss Andele's research in Furnace City has made great progress!"
"Your mechanical puppet: Under the control of the lady, the extraordinary hunter has been integrated with the alchemy machine forged by the gray dwarves - the world destroyer."
"Not only has the extraordinary hunter been completely repaired, but Miss Andele has given the extraordinary hunter the ability to think independently!"
"Sir, this is no longer a purely mechanical creation, but a new life - flesh and blood machinery."
Karu danced with excitement, expressing his inner emotions with exaggerated movements and tone of voice.
"Create life, sir! This is something that only the great goddess of creation can do!"
"And the combat power of flesh and blood machinery is extremely powerful!"
"Not only is it difficult to kill, but it can be quickly restored as long as it has flesh and blood and mechanical parts. What's more, it can be fused with Miss Aundair and let her drive!"
"I asked Emerelda to go to the Furnace City to test the power of flesh and blood machinery, but she was at a disadvantage!"
"If it can be manufactured in batches, then the City of Twilight will become the City of Kings that no one dares to invade!"
"My Lord!!"
The excitement in his heart caused Karu, who had always been thoughtful, to fall into a frenzy, and his words were slightly confused.
Seeing Kalu's appearance, Richard also became interested.
Before he conquered the El Plane, Andele had already proposed to him to go to the Crucible City to conduct his own research.
He agreed at that time, and at the same time gave the other party the severely damaged alchemy machine - the Extraordinary Hunter.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, he was too busy to touch the ground, and he had no energy to pay attention to the underground world.
I didn’t expect this Twilight City baby to produce results so quickly.
And looking at Karu's attitude, it's obvious that Andele's achievements are not small.
"I will go to the Crucible City later."
"In addition, you have people send the latest version of the magic sound box manufacturing blueprints and magic sound tape blueprints to Solan City."
"At the same time, the drawings of the automatic production machine we developed are also sent."
After hearing this, Kalu calmed down from his excitement, his thoughts changed, and he said thoughtfully.
"Sir, have we found a new partner?"
Richard nodded.
"The Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce will undertake the production of magic sound boxes."
"The Furnace City provides them with technical support, and subsequent improvements and updates must be given to them as soon as possible."
Karu perked up, his face full of emotion.
Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild, before he joined Twilight City, it was a giant that he looked up to.
The other party not only has a great reputation in Solan City, but also has a very famous reputation in the countries surrounding the Death Desert.
How can a chamber of commerce that can cross the desert of death and have business dealings with various countries be like Yi Yu?
Although with the arrival of Lord Divine Grace, trade flow has become quite easy, the huge profit business across the Death Desert can no longer be done.
But with so many years of accumulation, how could the Luanwei Flower Merchant Association be exhausted just because of a change in just one year?
Once this behemoth is involved in the production of magic sound boxes, it can be predicted that magic sound boxes will appear in major cities around the Death Desert at a rate of hundreds of times.
Even if they have to pay some price, it's worth it!
"Sir, how are the profits distributed?"
"June 4th."
Karu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction.
"The production cost of the Magic Sound Box is not small. After the scale is increased, the investment will be huge. We can get 40%, which is enough!"
Richard laughed.
"We are six and they are four."
Karu's heart trembled, June 4th? !
The other party needs to produce and provide raw materials, human resources and various production means, only 40%?
This business is so cost-effective! !
As expected of an adult, even the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild is willing to offer such benefits! !
"Sir, your skill is so admirable! Praise you!"
Richard ignored this guy's flattery and continued.
"In addition, the senior leaders of the Templar Empire have become voyeuristic towards us."
"From the outside to the inside, I don't know how many forces in the main plane are coveting the plane of El."
He spoke in a more serious tone.
"Send me an order to notify the El Players Association and ask each guild to dispatch 10 legions to be stationed in Mountain Ridge City."
"After these ten days, those guilds will definitely be happy to send troops to protect the fruits of their victory."
Although it has only been ten days, according to incomplete statistics, one tenth of the players in Mountain City have already entered.
With a huge base, this is more than one billion players!
If the teleportation gate didn't cover a wide enough area, this number would have doubled!
Such huge traffic has brought unprecedented prosperity to Mountain City.
The participating guilds also enjoyed exaggerated benefits.
Not to mention that 70% of the income from rent and taxes in Mountain City will be shared with all guilds.
Driven by huge interests, no one will talk nonsense.
For guilds that are eligible to join the El Players Association, there will be no problems if they only send 10 legions!
After eating the sweet fruit, who is willing to give up?
After Karu nodded in agreement, he seemed to have thought of something and showed hesitation.
"If it is malicious intent from the Templar Empire, will our layout in Solan City be affected?"
Richard waved his hand.
"There is no need to worry. If we continue to proceed as planned, Grand Duke Solan will provide us with protection."
Karu's eyes lit up.
"Have you met Grand Duke Solan?" The county magistrate is better off taking charge now. With Grand Duke Solan's protection, there won't be any big problems with the Violet Chamber of Commerce.
But I was still a little worried inside.
"But will the malice from the king have other effects?"
There was a bit of amusement on Richard's face.
"The king's malice? Just change to another king."
If it were another king, Karu would be a little confused.
Can the king of the Templar Empire be changed at will?
As soon as this idea came up, I heard Richard say.
"I have selected the three princes of the Templar Empire to compete for the throne."
Karu's face became more and more stunned.
"Sir, are you the third prince who was born as a commoner and was regarded as a waste by the royal family?"
"How can he do it without any foundation?"
Information from the Violet Chamber of Commerce is sent every day, and Kalu knows as much information as he does from the outside world.
Richard smiled.
"What if the four Grand Dukes, including Grand Duke Solan, support each other?"
The support of the four princes? ! !
Karu's heart trembled.
Every one of the Grand Dukes of the Templar Empire is a legendary powerhouse!
With the support of four legendary powerhouses who have huge influence in the Templar Empire, the third prince can walk around in the Templar City even if he is a waste!
Looking at Richard's calm face, I felt more and more emotional.
Is this what adults do?
As soon as he takes action, he must support the new king of the empire.
It’s really heart-breaking.
After Kalu left, who was as strong as chicken blood, Richard fell into deep thought.
At present, all aspects are progressing according to his established ideas.
Although supporting the third prince will take some time to see results, in general, we are on the way.
After thinking about it for a long time, I began to review and summarize the gains and losses during this period.
First, the current core: the El plane.
With the opening of Mountain City, the El Plane has become a de facto player trading center.
However, the number of portals limits players, which needs to be improved by future workers.
In addition, preventing outside prying eyes is also a top priority and must not be ignored.
Second, a closer cooperative relationship was established with Grand Duke Solan.
Next, the Violet Chamber of Commerce will have unimpeded access in Solan City, and even further cooperation will not be difficult, which will be of great benefit to the subsequent layout.
Third, he supported the third prince.
Once this plan succeeds, the Templar Empire will become a vassal of Twilight City.
By then, the power controlled by Twilight City will grow explosively.
The danger lies in the counterattack of the top leaders of the Templar Empire, which requires special attention.
Fourth, the relationship with Windsor has entered a new stage.
The cooperation between the two Magic Sound Boxes will continuously bring huge profits.
In addition, he can also start preparing for the entertainment industry plan that he has been thinking about.
Once the Magic Sound Box is rolled out, it will not be difficult to create some celebrities with strong influence.
And once a star is born, the effect will be absolutely unexpected.
This is a fantasy world with gods.
In addition, the biggest crisis currently facing the Twilight City is what Windsor himself said - the Twilight of the Gods.
Once the old rules are fully activated, all gods will lose their authority.
By then, the entire world will be in unprecedented chaos.
The authority he currently controls may not be retained.
As the protagonist of the new expansion pack, any words spoken by Windsor play a decisive role, and no one dares to ignore it.
Big changes are about to happen, and he must make Twilight City strong as quickly as possible.
Strong enough to withstand all impacts!
This requires an army, heroes, city defense, technology, talents, and countless resources!
The growth of power must be all-round, and it is impossible to strengthen one aspect alone.
That leaves too many shortcomings. In the changing situation, the number of crises will greatly increase.
With his thoughts at this point, Richard took a deep breath and gradually calmed down his ups and downs.
After thinking for a while, he opened the properties panel and focused on the rare resources column.
When the El Players Association was established, he asked each guild that joined to hand over 100,000 units of rare resources.
This resource went directly into his pocket.
3,500 guilds are 350 million units.
Coupled with the net income of these two months, he currently has a total of rare resources-380 million units.
This is an absolutely astronomical sum.
For the first time since Twilight City was founded, rare resources exceeded 100 million.
The current price of an ordinary-level troop nest is - two units of rare resources.
To upgrade a troop nest from ordinary to elite, you need 10 ordinary-level troop nests, 100 to be rare, 1,000 to be rare, 10,000 to be brilliant, and 100,000 to be crowned. 1 million to be promoted to Huiyue, and 1 million to be extraordinary. grains, that is, 20 million rare resources.
In other words, with these 380 million resources, even 19 extraordinary troop nests can be promoted!
And if it were changed to Huiyue level, it would be - 190! !
This exaggerated data made the smile on Richard's face particularly bright.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been that big of a dog!
He looked at the troop nest column with a happy mood.
After the last round of promotions, currently, all arms in Twilight City have been promoted to the crown——
Coupled with more than two months of recruitment and the occurrence of no war, the number of troops has also increased significantly.
1. Poisonous Scorpion Warriors (20 lairs, 140 weekly output) Current quantity: 1210→2330
2. Mummy Guardians (3 nests, 30 output per week) Current number: 210→450
3. Sand Archers (10 nests, 50 output per week) Current quantity: 885→1285
4. Sandstorm controllers (20 nests, 100 weekly output) current number: 1100→1900
5. Stone statues of the dead (20 nests, weekly output 200) Current quantity: 1600→3200
6. Mummy Guards (10 nests, 100 weekly output) Current number: 900→1700
7. King of the Forbidden Army (13 nests, weekly output 130) Current quantity: 680→1720
8. Skeleton Blood Dragon 300
Huiyue Troop——
King of the Custodes (3 lairs, 30 output per week) Current quantity: 270→510
Extraordinary arms——
Dragon Wings (Lair 3, weekly output 30) current quantity 90→330
In the past two months, more than 20 million rare resources have been spent recruiting these troops.
If Twilight City wasn't strong enough in making money, pure recruitment would have drained him dry.
He had already prepared for this promotion.
The four arms of the Scorpion Warriors, Mummy Guardians, Sand Archers, and Mummy Guards are enough if they have crowns, and there is no need to continue to advance.
Resources need to be used where they are most valuable.
His eyes were set on the remaining crown troops.
Sandstorm Controller (20 lairs), Stone Statue of the Dead (20 lairs), King of the Custodes (13 lairs)
In total, there are a total of 53 troop nests.
This time he will all be promoted to the Huiyue level.
But in addition to these, Richard has also prepared additional troop nests - 30 stone statue troop nests of the dead, 30 sandstorm controller troop nests, and 37 forbidden army king troop nests.
The total is 97.
Counting those 53, there are a total of 150 troop nests to be promoted this time.
Although Richard had prepared this in advance, he was still a little excited at this moment.
150 of them, all promoted to the Huiyue level. If the players knew about this, they would probably explode!
When Huihuang is an elite player, he is already playing Huiyue. What should those players think?
After taking a few deep breaths, Richard did not hesitate and went directly to the player trading market to scan for goods.
Although the players' strength has been greatly improved compared to when they first entered "Glory Era", the buying and selling of low-level arms has not decreased, but has become more and more popular.
Although low-level soldiers cannot fight, they can be used as labor or take on security duties. What's more, undead players will deliberately recruit low-level soldiers to kill and recruit skeletons.
So prices have been stabilizing.
Search and purchase based on conditions. If you meet the requirements, purchase directly.
Although he held hundreds of millions of rare resources, once Richard set up the purchase rules, they were all consumed in an instant.
Later, many professional merchants and players were surprised to find that one-tenth of the millions of pages for sale of common troop nests on the market were missing.
Suddenly there was a question mark on his face. Did you meet a ghost?
After acquiring 180 million troop nests, there are still 20 million rare resources left on hand, which will be used to recruit upgraded troops later.
Richard only felt that he had unprecedented confidence.
In the excitement, they immediately started working, quickly placed the new troop nests, and then all were promoted.
The storage space shrank rapidly, 150 million pills were used up, and only 30 million pills were left.
With the generous expenditure, the front yard of the lord's mansion was already shining with light.
If it weren't for the special rare items obtained by previously capturing the obelisk on the El Plane, which allowed the City of Twilight to expand by 1,000 squares of open space, the Lord's Mansion might not be able to accommodate so many types of troops.
He expanded the front yard to 100 squares of open space just to place the troop nests.
After about ten minutes, the light dissipated.
Soldier nests that were five to six meters high and seven or eight meters high appeared in front of them.
Looking around, it looks like a forest of trees.
The smile on Richard's face was as bright as the stars.
After this promotion, the number of military nests in his hands has reached a level that is horrifying.
Can recruit crown troop lairs with an initial level of 15 - Scorpion Warriors (10 seats), Mummy Guardians (3 seats), Sand Archers (10 seats), and Mummy Guards (10 seats), a total of 33 seats
It is possible to recruit the starting level 17 Shining Moon troop lairs - 50 each of the Stone Statue of the Dead, the Sandstorm Controller, and the King of the Forbidden Army, for a total of 150 nests.
A nest that can recruit level 20 extraordinary soldiers - Dragon Wings, 1 star extraordinary, 3 seats.
After making the calculation, Richard felt extremely happy.
These are the capital for Twilight City to survive.
But this time the violence is not over yet.
Suppressing the excitement, he opened the black gold system again.
After the last upgrade of the black gold system, a new ability appeared - the ability to directly cultivate the nest of selected military units.
The level of the cultivated troop nest is one level lower than the target.
The 37 crown-level King of Forbidden Army units promoted this time were directly cultivated with the goal of King of the Forbidden Army of Huiyue.
Without hesitation, he directly consumed the remaining 30 million troop nests and smashed them all on the Dragon Wings.
As the energy surged, the dragon's wings statue grew like bamboo shoots from the open space next to it.
I opened the attribute panel and took a look. Perhaps because the prototype was an extraordinary soldier, the initial recruitment level of Huiyue 1-star Dragon Wings reached level 16.
Although it is not as good as several other Huiyue units, the ability of Dragon Wings as a front-row human shield has not disappeared due to the decrease in potential.
Still impressive!
This was what he was most satisfied with about Dragon Wings.
Durable.
As a result, the number of Huiyue troop nests increased again, reaching a total of 165.
More than a thousand Huiyue troops can be recruited every week!
This is Twilight City's own army, not the scattered army contributed by the Players Guild like the El Players Association.
Although the El Players Association has great energy, it will only explode when the vital interests of everyone are involved.
Although he can exert influence, he is not completely under his control.
Moreover, there are many people and it is complicated, so it is not absolutely safe.
Your own strength is the foundation.
After Richard calmed down, he did not hesitate to recruit the production of these two weeks from the newly promoted 30 Stone Statues of the Dead, 30 Sandstorm Controllers, 37 Forbidden King, and 15 Dragon Wings. .
The remaining troop nests have all been recruited.
After some operations, a total of 1,940 units were recruited.
The recruitment of each Huiyue unit requires 8,000 units of rare resources.
The total is 15.52 million.
The last 20 million rare resources in hand were just left with a pair of underpants.
With the black gold system, resources are really not enough.
Richard was filled with emotion.
With this promotion, the monthly maintenance cost of Twilight City will also increase to the sky!
Fortunately, the El Plane has begun to operate, and the Magic Sound Box will be launched on the market. Otherwise, even if he is given the 380 million resources, he would not dare to invest them all.
After promotion, the weekly recruitment fee is the bulk.
Thinking of this, Richard turned to look at the troops that had left the manor, and his mood improved again. Although it costs a lot of resources, it is worth it!
This damn thing is called a violent soldier! !
As long as he is given a few more months to accumulate, wait for Mountain City to pay dividends, and wait for the magic sound box market to explode, he wants to ask, who else? !
