Chapter 591: The Twilight City upgrades, the war breaks out, the prelude to a new era
When Solan City fell into a frenzy because of the magic sound box, the Twilight City was not idle either.
Because today, the conditions for upgrading the city were finally met.
"Ding~ Upgrading a third-level medium city to a first-level large city requires: 10 million units each of gold coins, wood, stone, and iron ore (already met); 100,000 units each of crystal, gems, mercury, and sulfur (already met); and a population of 50,000 (Satisfied); 5 special-level technologies (Satisfied: Scorpion Warrior, Stone Statue of the Dead, Lord of the Custodes, Sand Archers, Mummy Guards); 20 hero units (Satisfied) "
"All current conditions have been met. Do you want to upgrade?"
Richard looked at the system prompts and felt a long-lost excitement in his heart.
It’s not easy!
If tens of thousands of people hadn't been mobilized from the El plane, I'm afraid it would have been stuck for a while.
Without hesitation, I directly chose to confirm.
The next second.
A yellow sand light instantly enveloped the city at dusk.
The buildings in the city began to be modified by the power of rules that were difficult to spy on.
The upgrade of the big city took a full 20 hours, and the residents in the city were temporarily sent to the land of eternity.
The troops also left their posts and guarded everything outside the city.
Richard did not stay away, but stood in front of the northern city wall, silently staring at this private city that belonged entirely to him.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the sun sets and the moon rises.
After 20 long hours, the light that shrouded the city at dusk finally dissipated.
Richard immediately became energetic as if a puppet had been given a soul.
Look carefully at this new city.
Under the moonlight, it looks like a ferocious beast crawling on the ground, giving people a strong visual impact.
The city wall, which was originally 30 meters high, has now skyrocketed to a height of over 35 meters.
It can be clearly felt that the thickness of the city wall has increased greatly.
"Ding~ The City of Dusk has been upgraded to a first-level city. The lord's mansion has been expanded by 100 open spaces, the territory has been expanded by 2000 open spaces, and the current open space is 2050 open spaces."
"Ding~ The territory's building limit has been released, and you can freely consume resources to improve it; the technology limit is completely unlocked, and you can freely research various technologies."
As the system prompts fell, Richard felt a little complicated.
After more than a year, Twilight City has finally been promoted from a weak territory to a city that no one dares to ignore!
All the experiences during this period make me sad even now when I think about it.
After calming down, he did not hesitate and continued to spend resources to upgrade the first-level city to the second and third levels.
It was not until May 17th that this continuous upgrade was finally completed.
"Ding~ The Dusk City has been upgraded to a second-level city. The lord's mansion has been expanded by 200 open spaces, and the territory has been expanded by 3,000 open spaces. The current open space is 5,050 spaces."
"Ding~ Dusk City has been upgraded to a first-level city. The lord's mansion has been expanded by 300 open spaces, and the territory has been expanded by 5,000 open spaces. The current open space is 10,050 spaces."
After the system prompt fell, Richard floated into the sky and looked down from a high place.
The inner city, which was originally densely covered with various buildings, now has large tracts of open space.
The original sense of compactness has turned into looseness. Now there are buildings only in the center of the city, and the surroundings are empty.
Fortunately, those arrow towers were classified as city defense buildings and still stood behind the city wall.
When Richard saw this, the corners of his mouth turned up high.
It is conceivable that with the current construction capacity of Twilight City, this extra vacant land will be filled up in a short time.
A strong sense of accomplishment arises in my heart.
This is a territory that belongs entirely to him. Here, he is the only master, and his will can determine the fate of everyone.
The authority is in hand.
It took a few deep breaths to calm down the ups and downs of emotions.
Open the property panel of the territory and take a look at what is needed for the next upgrade.
"What you need to upgrade a big city to a giant city: 10 million units of four rare resources each, 5 master-level technologies, a population of 200,000, and 100 heroes."
Richard shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The other items are not a problem, but the master level technology is too annoying.
In the past two months, if a large amount of resources had not been allocated to technology, the requirements for several special-level technologies would not have been so fast.
Falling to the ground again, he turned to look at Karu, who was standing with the senior officials of Twilight City and was very excited at the moment.
"This upgrade has been completed. Notify residents to go back."
"In addition, let the construction department come up with the next construction plan as quickly as possible."
"Chaos is coming. The City of Twilight needs a stronger defense force. I hope that our city can become a city that will never fall!"
Although he still has the Eternal Land as a retreat, and the Eternal City is also being built, the Twilight City is the foundation of everything, and there must be no problems.
"Sir, this is also our common wish!"
Karu's face flushed with excitement.
As one of the first residents to join Twilight City, he has contributed as much to the city as anyone else.
The expectations in my heart are extremely strong.
"Go down and make arrangements."
As soon as Richard finished speaking, several black dots flew quickly from a distance.
After a while, several stone statues of the dead fell in front.
One of them knelt down on one knee and handed a secret letter to him with both hands.
"Master, there is an urgent message from Miss Weier."
Richard's eyes narrowed, and he felt a little bad in his heart. He immediately reached out to take it, opened it and checked it quickly.
After a moment, he sighed and handed the letter to Karu who had not yet left.
After reading this, Karu's face became a little solemn.
"The sect's army is already gathering, and perhaps they will launch a final general attack on Crimson Moon tomorrow"
"Sir, big changes are coming, and we need to speed up our preparations for war."
Richard was silent.
After pondering for a long time, he spoke slowly.
"How many alchemy bombs and giant cannons are produced in the Crucible City?"
"There are two million alchemical bombs in total, and ten thousand improved giant cannons in total."
This data was enough to make Richard's heart tremble half a year ago, but now he is not satisfied.
"Not enough, far from enough. I don't know how far this war will go. These strategic reserves can only support a few wars. We need more!"
"In this case, we can only divert the workers who produce magic sound boxes to produce alchemy bombs."
Karu looked a little helpless.
Although they had been preparing for this war for months in advance, the time was still too short.
There are many difficulties in producing enough materials, and the personnel gap alone is enough to slow down the entire production efficiency.
Alchemy weapons are not something ordinary people can produce.
"Ask Weir to buy a group of gray dwarves from the Solan Chamber of Commerce."
“We must increase our strategic reserves at all costs.”
"This war is definitely more cruel than everyone imagined."
After Karu responded, Richard continued.
"The construction of the arrow tower cannot be stopped."
"I need to see an arrow tower erected every 20 meters."
Karu nodded and said hesitantly, "In this case, we will not have enough archers."
"I will solve the problem of Ningsha Archers. I will purchase another batch of troop nests for recruitment in the near future."
"In addition, the production of top heavy crossbows such as the Dragon Hunting Crossbow must also be increased. How many resources are needed can be mobilized directly without my consent."
After Richard finished speaking, he paused for a moment and gave Karu a short time to digest before continuing.
"The construction of the Eternal City must also be accelerated."
"This will be our last retreat."
"If we are short of manpower, we will go to Bloodhoof City and Ruidell. I need to see the Eternal City's big frame completed within a month, so that it can be put into war!"
Karu took a deep breath.
"Sir, if this happens, the resources we need will probably be extremely exaggerated."
Whether it is the production of weapons or the construction of cities, it is a bottomless pit.
There are not enough resources to fill the gap.
Richard had already made arrangements for this and said slowly.
"The income from Mountain City can be divided."
"This batch of resources is enough to support our consumption during this period."
Mountain City is now a well-deserved player trading center and even a world transit center.
Although twenty or thirty new planes were opened during this period, and they copied his approach.
But because the main figures who opened these planes lacked charisma and the most critical thing, the two-way portals all over the main plane.
So the number of players it can attract is not that large.
The El plane is still the first choice for all players.
The huge flow of people brings unprecedented income.
Leasing goods, various taxes, commissions from various commodities trading centers, etc., etc., make Mountain City a well-deserved tool for attracting money.
Although for a larger plan, Richard spent 70% of his profits to bind more than 3,000 player guilds.
But even so, he can still monopolize 30%.
As the owner and person in charge of the El Players Association, Karu naturally knows how huge a fortune this is.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"Sir, according to the settlement the day before yesterday, including rental income, Mountain City City has currently benefited from 2 billion units of rare resources on its books."
"We can get over 600 million units!"
This is 600 million units! !
Karu felt a shiver when he said the word.
Although more than half of this is due to the income from outsiders renting shops, there will definitely not be that much in the next period of time.
But no matter what, this income is exaggerated and enough to make anyone crazy.
He never thought in his life that he could use this method to earn such an astonishing wealth in such a short period of time.
"What a pity, if all these 2 billion belong to us."
Karu sighed, extremely regretful.
Richard smiled.
"If we occupy them all, then what Mountain City can produce may not be 2 billion, maybe not even one-tenth."
Without binding those player guilds through benefits, how can we get them to actively participate?
Without those two-way portals connecting all parts of the main plane, even if he had great abilities, he would not be able to get everyone to the El Plane.
And these were all accomplished by those guilds.
It seems that he has paid huge benefits, but in fact, this 30% income far exceeds the 100% that is not divided.
What's more important is that more than 3,000 guilds are standing on the same boat with him, and their safety is greatly guaranteed.
Soon, the order for Richard to divide the stolen goods reached the El Players Association.
This exaggerated profit was divided among everyone under the calculation of a professional team.
Although 1.4 billion resources are distributed to more than 3,000 guilds, each guild can be allocated hundreds of thousands of units of resources.
But for most guilds, this is already a good benefit.
The bulk of their income comes from selling their own products, and membership in the El Players Association provides them with various convenient information and support.
And this income can be obtained without paying any big price. As long as the El plane is still there and as long as they are still members of the El Players Association, this kind of income will be available every month in the future.
After Richard retrieved this exaggerated resource from the El Players Association, he began to exchange it for various supplies without hesitation.
With the support of massive resources, alchemy bombs, siege crossbows, arrow towers, and various military supplies are increasing like a surge.
Twilight City's strategic reserves are rapidly increasing.
Under such an environmental background, the army sent by the gods finally launched a general attack on the Crimson Moon.
May 19th was one day later than Weier predicted.
An unprecedented epic battle broke out.
The eyes of the whole world are focused here at this moment.
Richard did not leave, but sat silently in the lord's mansion, opening the live broadcast section of the forum with a complicated mood.
Looking around, the most popular live broadcast rooms in this section are all related to this war.
After clicking on the most popular one, I immediately felt as if I had traveled through time and entered it, immersed in it.
The anchor of the live broadcast room is a knight sitting on a tall horse, equipped with many top strategic treasures.
Although the attributes cannot be checked, Richard estimates that there are at least five strategic treasures with four stars or above.
This is already a luxury for players.
He looked away from the other person and looked into the distance.
After seeing the scene in front of me clearly, I suddenly held my breath.
Within sight, there were endless troops wearing heavy armor. They formed a terrifying torrent of steel.
Looking around, you can't see the edge even to the end of your sight.
Even if you just take a look at it, you can feel the impact.
In the sky, the top troops belonging to the good and lawful camp are even more difficult to take away.
The two-headed chimera, the royal griffon, the four-winged pegasus, the green dragon, the giant eagle. All kinds of flying units that are rarely seen in ordinary times, all cover the light.
Richard even saw the symbol of the good and lawful camp - an angel!
And not just one, they appear in groups.
The Winged Angel, which has the lowest birth level, is also level 20 and is a real extraordinary soldier.
Those with four wings on their backs are the more terrifying legendary troops.
It is unimaginable that such a large number of top-level military units will all gather together at this moment.
And their goal is a cracked space at the end of the sky.
In the crack that almost penetrated the sky and the earth, a crimson blood moon shone brightly.
Richard took their perspective and felt like he was attacking some villain's lair.
At this moment, the high-pitched horn sound resounded throughout the world.
The originally silent army began to flow like a tide and quickly gathered at the crack.
The knight anchor took a deep breath and said loudly.
"The decisive battle begins, brothers!"
"Today, only one of the old camp and our sect can survive!"
"But I believe that victory will definitely belong to the gods!"
"Praise the light!"
"Kill!"
With a roar, the player anchor suddenly sat down on his horse and rushed out following the army in front. (End of chapter)
