Richard heard the deep roars that came from far away.
The agitation in his heart rose to the peak.
The system notification from last night popped up in Richard’s mind.
[This week is remarkably a special disaster week. The beast was out of the cage.]
He immediately stood up and walked out of the hall. Two dark gargoyles descended from the sky.
“Lord, several troops have suddenly appeared in the wilderness around the territory.
“They’re quickly gathering towards Twilight City.”
A low, m.u.f.fled voice sounded.
Richard’s face turned cold.
Sure enough. Just as expected, Twilight City had become the target.
“The beasts released from the cage had to eat meat.
“And wasn’t the player territory just a piece of fat meat?”
He turned around and looked at the soldiers that guarded an enormous horn not far away.
“Blow the war horn!”
‘Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!’
A longhorn sounded from the Lord’s mansion.
In an instant, the residents outside of Twilight City who heard the bugle horn immediately put down their work and returned to the city as quickly as possible.
The horn sounded. A level 1 battle preparation.
A bugle horn made from a notable buffalo’s horn released a remarkably penetrating sound.
With Twilight City as the center, one could hear the sound of the horn from ten kilometers away.
The horn sounded.
‘Roar!’
A series of fierce roars came from the distance.
The enemies responded to and provoked the Twilight City horn.
Richard raised an eyebrow.
His face was cold.
Such courage.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and opened the players’ [Forum Chat].
Yesterday, before he went to bed, he glanced at the [Forum Chat]. Nothing happened in the forum.
But at this moment, there were already wails.
[Oh my G.o.d! When I woke up, a group of terrifying half-wolves appeared outside the territory. There are more than two brigades of them. If I hadn’t had a prodigious troop last night, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be a single hair left today.]
[F*ck! This striking week is a monster siege? The f*cking system! I just spent all my resources on upgrading my territory! F*ck you!]
[I’ve already dug a solid hole in the ground. I’d hidden in it before those monsters arrived. Now, those idiots must have left with their tails between their legs. Hahaha, smart as I am!]
[It’s too terrifying. Even a 10-meter tall mammoth-man has appeared! Are there any brothers within 200 kilometers south of Lionheart City in the Hengduan Mountains? I beg you to help me! I recently got ten elves back. Who can help me guard a wave? I’ve given them all to him…]
Conversations continued in the [Forum Chat].
Richard looked at the lively forum and inexplicably felt a lot calmer.
Indeed, suffering together was the true meaning of life.
Some of the dumba.s.s players’ skills were also enlightening to him.
When they encountered enemies, they would send the residents out to die while they sneaked away.
Some even told everyone to hide in the bunkers they dugged long ago.
Some brought their families and didn’t even want their territory… There were all kinds of operations.
However, from the players’ posts in general, one could see that this disaster week was not so easy to fool.
While Richard pondered, a few figures hurriedly entered the Lord’s mansion.
“Lord…”
“Lord Richard…”
Gray, Gunter, Xina, and Karu.
All the main heroes of Twilight City had arrived.
Alves, the undead dragon, also circled in the sky and did not land.
Richard nodded at his generals.
“Due to the influence of rules, Twilight City will suffer an unprecedented impact.
“The soldiers scattered in the desert will gather and attack us.
“It might take as long as a week. Everyone should be mentally prepared!”
The enemy’s attack will last for a week?
The heroes ‘expressions immediately turned serious.
Richard continued.
“Gunter and Gray command the troop to defend Twilight City.
“Push out all the alchemy cannons. Don’t be stingy with the ammunition.
“Karu, stabilize the residents. No one is allowed to go out. Put an end to all hidden dangers.”
The old gray-haired Karu couldn’t help but panic.
“Lord Richard, what about the agricultural area?”
Richard’s eyes narrowed.
There were currently two points of defense for Twilight City. One was the territory, and the other was the agricultural area.
Without any hesitation, Richard gave the order.
“Bring the Desert Crown Honey and the fire dragon rabbit back to Twilight City immediately. Leave the bees in the backyard of the Lord’s mansion, and lock the fire dragon rabbit in the stable.”
Karu took a deep breath and said.
…I guess I can only give up on the agricultural area…”
Richard shook his head.
“I can’t give up any of them.
“The G.o.d’s ancient tree and I will guard the agricultural area.
“You will guard Twilight City.”
Two hundred acres of barley and 105 acres of Russian olive forest. How much effort did they put in to acc.u.mulate their wealth?
Richard would never give up unless it was impossible.
The old gray-haired Karu’s face turned serious.
Although the G.o.d’s ancient tree and Richard were the most strapping battle forces of the Twilight City, they were still the most powerful.
However, with only two combat units to guard such a large area, one could imagine the pressure.
Fortunately, the G.o.d’s ancient tree had already reproduced hundreds of venomous wasps during this period.
“Be careful, Lord Richard.”
Richard nodded and turned to Gray.
“How many troops are there in the surrounding wilderness? How’s his strength?”
Gray immediately responded.
“The north and south have the most people. There are more than five brigades now. And the number is still increasing.
“They’re all above level 5, and there are even quite a few at level 10.”
Richard’s heart began to sink. Fortunately, it was within the scope of Twilight City’s response.
If a few hundred of the level-15 desert dragons he had seen before appeared, it would be a big problem.
“I’ll leave the territory to you guys. Remember, there can’t be any mistakes.”
The skeleton blood dragon and the dark gargoyles are the keys. We must make good use of these two air forces.
“Yes, Lord!”
Twilight City was the foundation. And he had to put st.u.r.dy power there.
A few A-rank heroes commanded the battle. And they would not be any worse than him.
When necessary, Richard and the G.o.d’s ancient tree could also return to provide support at any time.
After Richard gave the orders, he waved his hand without hesitation. And the sand he’d placed in the front yard suddenly rose and lifted him into the air.
After he flew several hundred meters up, the temperature dropped significantly.
His vision could see into the distance.
From the north and south, several wilderness troops rapidly approached Twilight City.
His aura was ferocious.
Richard didn’t hesitate. He flew to the trunk of the G.o.d’s ancient tree rooted outside the territory.
“Lord…”
A deep voice sounded.
The wrinkled tree bark revealed a twisted face.
Richard didn’t waste any time.
“Uproot the roots and guard the agricultural area with me!” He ordered.
“We’ll follow your orders…”
His voice fell.
‘Shua!’
The sand exploded.
Countless grains of yellow sand flew hundreds of meters high. It covered the sky and the sun.
The gigantic roots rose from the ground. And the earth cracked open at this moment.
The 30-meter-tall tree instantly grew to 40 meters.
Coupled with its terrifying branches that had the characteristic of instant death, it was simply a super killing weapon.
They would have to guard a narrow checkpoint if it weren’t for the fact that the agricultural area was too prodigious.
The G.o.d’s ancient tree could completely block a troop of thousands by itself.
After the G.o.d’s ancient tree took root in the north, they protected the Russian olive forest and the sand barley behind it.
Richard could already see the shadows of the monsters.
Desert lizardmen, desert half-orcs, desert gnolls… They were almost all the races he had seen.
The only thing they had in common was that the eyes of all the soldiers in the wild had turned into a strange dark red.
His eyes flashed with a brutal look.
It was like a wave rose from the desert. It rolled up a tsunami with a posture of drowning everything.
‘Roar!’
In the sky above Twilight City, the skeleton blood dragon flew up under the leadership of Alves.
The 30 undead giant dragons, whose bone armor glowed like rubies and exuded a blood-colored power, gave people a tremendous psychological impact.
The dark gargoyle that carried the congealing sand archer and the undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead also rose into the air simultaneously.
Under Brown’s command, a level 12 alchemist, they arranged the cannons they plundered from the underground world in a criss-cross formation.
At the same time, the guardian mummies at the back began to load up their vast ammunition.
And in front of the territory.
The bandaged mummies, scorpion warriors, heavy-sword warriors, and giant axe death knights already waited for them.
Twilight City, which had been chaotic a moment ago, had now become a military fortress armed to the teeth.
Richard felt a fire burning in his chest when he saw what was happening in Twilight City.
