341 Chapter 281: The s.p.a.ce Merchant, A Treasure Worth 3 Million Points [2/3]
Ah! She cried in surprise and buried her head in Richard’s arms again.
Her ears were red from embarra.s.sment.
“Father…”
Richard couldn’t help but chuckle at sight.
After he consoled the little girl for a while, the centaur finally dared to raise her head. However, she immediately turned around and left with a spring in her steps.
She was so shy she didn’t even dare to look at Xina.
Richard’s lips curled into a smile as he watched the little girl disappear.
After this, his tense mood immediately relaxed a lot.
It’s interesting to raise such a little girl.
He turned his head and looked at the veteran beside him.
“Xina, go and rest for a while. There’s still a big battle coming up, so there’s no need to be so tense.”
Hina’s fierce aura at this moment almost eased up.
She slowly nodded as she looked at the handsome face in front of her.
“Yes, my lord.”
She didn’t persist. In the battle just now, she was the main force. She led the troops and consistently charged forward every time.
Even if the physical resilience is remarkable, the mental consumption is irreparable.
She would probably wear her body down if she continued to fight.
Richard looked at the mummy hero beside him after Xina left.
“Gray, how are the losses of the troops?”
Gray’s empty voice sounded.
“Lord, five mummy guardians, three bandaged mummies, and two scorpion warriors have been killed in this battle.
“In total, we lost one squadron.”
This number seemed to be a lot, but compared to the time of day and a night of battle and the number of enemies the troops killed, it was a small number.
The casualties were almost negligible.
Richard knew what to do.
He was satisfied with this.
The tall city walls gave the defending troops a geographical advantage.
The three Hurricane Arrow Towers at the back gave the troops strong firepower support.
The quicksand outside was able to share the pressure.
The defense system in which Richard invested tons of resources eventually showed its effect.
Furthermore, he had not used the alchemy cannon in the battle.
Richard still hid the power of Twilight City.
He gathered his thoughts and scanned the city.
Suddenly, he saw many residents that stared out their windows.
Although worry and fear were in their eyes, they were more eager.
They immediately became excited when Richard looked at them.
They did not want to spend their entire time in their rooms. They want to help Twilight City.
Even if they had to die, they would live and die with Twilight City.
The high popular sentiment of above 90 points was an arduous figure.
Richard understood what he was getting at.
“Gray, send my order to Karu. Let the residents continue working.
“Tell everyone that even if they die, I can resurrect them. There’s no need to worry.”
“As you wish.”
Bursts of enthusiastic cheers filled the residential houses when Gray sent the news.
It fulfilled its lord’s wish.
Several residents rushed out of their houses moments later and spontaneously gathered in the small square in front of the Lord’s mansion.
They looked at the figure on the city wall with a burning gaze.
He was the ruler of this land and the leader they trusted and worshipped.
Richard turned around slowly when he heard the heated discussion behind him.
His emotions fluctuated when he saw the burning gazes of nearly 2,000 residents.
These were all his people. They would all fight for him with a single command.
He held power and controlled the life and death of countless people.
This feeling was enough to make the most determined person exclaim in admiration.
Power was a man’s best coat. This saying had never been untrue.
His voice resounded through the sky.
“My people.
“You are now in another dimension.
“We’re in the middle of a long war.
“Death, slaughter, blood… Darkness filled this world.”
“Countless monsters surround the outside city walls. They attack and kill day and night.
“Twilight City will fall if we fail to resist these monsters.
“I need your help.
“I need you to contribute your strength and fight for Twilight City.”
His provocative tone immediately boosted the morale of the residents below.
They clenched their fists and held their breath. They waited for their lord to give the order.
At this moment, they would not hesitate even if he asked them to bring their weapons to the battlefield.
They were willing to give up everything for Twilight City. They might be afraid, but they would never back down.
“Officer Karu will arrange for you to enter the production department later.
“Everyone, listen to the arrangements and perform your duties.
“Remember, I can still resurrect you even if you die on this plane.
“Meeting dismissed.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the residents bowed with their hands on their chests.
Nearly two thousand people saluted simultaneously. It brought a strong visual impact.
Richard didn’t say anything more. He turned and returned to the mansion.
When the residents saw this, they also dispersed in an orderly manner with excitement and began to work in the corresponding departments.
Blacksmiths, tailor shops, distilleries, food workshops… Several people poured in.
The city had returned to its usual hustle and bustle.
But this time, because the enemy could attack at any time, all the residents were particularly excited.
Even production efficiency has enormously improved.
Richard didn’t hurry to rest upon his return to the mansion. Instead, he went to the corner of the front yard where the troop lairs were.
After the soldiers died, they could spend points to revive them.
At that time, it will regive birth to the troops that died from the nest.
He opened his attribute panel and glanced. The resurrection rare-level troops required 600 points.
