[Guardian Land]
[Level: Elite 3-stars]
[Recruit Type: Guardian Mummy (Elite 3-stars)]
[Recruit Quant.i.ty: 20]
[Weekly Output: 10]
[Recruitment Requirements: 40 gold coins, 40 units of wood, 40 units of stone]
[Description: An ordinary mummy troop lair.]
[Ding~ Do you want to use 800 gold coins, 800 units of wood, and 800 units of stone to recruit 20 guardian mummies?]
Three troop lairs could produce 60 guardian mummies.
The resource consumption alone reached 2,400 gold coins, 2,400 units of wood, and 2,400 units of stone, which totaled 7,200 units of resources.
After Richard finished building the troop, there were only about 6,000 left.
A bitter smile appeared on his face.
“The landlord’s family doesn’t have any more food left…”
Richard opened the [Trading Market]. He looked at the three requests and canceled the purchase of 20 desert horses. He sought other resources and treasures.
Swap 20 desert horses to exchange for resources.
A complete desert horse, a 6,000-unit resource, sold for 120,000 units.
These resources could even nurture two rare-level troop lairs.
“But if possible, I’m still willing to exchange for resources and treasures… that’s the treasure. Unfortunately, no one will sell them.”
Richard immediately became confident after he had the resources.
He recruited all of them with the disappearance of 7,200 resources.
A pale yellow light flashed. On the heavily weathered pyramid before Richard’s eyes, countless fine sand suddenly gushed out of the holes.
These grains of sand flowed out and gathered in front of the pyramid to form a troop. They formed a mummy with a round shield and a long knife in the other.
The bandages on their bodies were rotten yellow. It looked as if they had been buried underground for countless years.
Their aura was quite powerful. They were not weaker than the bandaged mummy.

[Potential: Elite 3-stars]

[Description: The Guardian of Pharoah Mummy, they are quite alert.]
[When all the six squads are recruited, all the guardian mummies fiercely use their knives to hit the round shield.]
[Clang Clang~]
The sound of metal collision traveled a great distance in the night. It seemed that they used this method to announce their arrival.
Richard nodded in satisfaction.
After he leveled up to Elite 3-star, the guardian mummy’s skills were all upgraded by one level.
Their strength had significantly increased.
Moreover, this was the number of six squads!
With this power, he would not have to worry about his lair from burglary when he went out to hunt in the future.
He stretched out his right hand and mobilized the hidden power in his body.
The power that was like yellow sand instantly bloomed.
[Ding~ Under your blessing, 60 guardian mummies have mastered a part of the desert power and obtained a new skill — Desertification-Sand Transformation (D-rank).]
All the troops could undergo Sand Transformation, and it would be the signature feature of Twilight City in the future.
Richard was delighted.
“From now on, you will guard the territory, patrol day and night to defend against foreign invaders.”
“We will listen to your orders, Lord…”
Such a colossal commotion had already attracted the attention of many residents.
Karu also rushed over. When he saw these new troops, his eyes lit up.
“Lord Richard, are these the troops you just recruited?”
Richard nodded.
“That’s right. These guardian mummies are the troops I specially recruited to protect the territory.
“They will receive additional attribute bonuses in the territory. They are powerful and will lose much power when they leave the territory.
“In the future, you have the right to mobilize this troop, but you must use this carefully.”
Richard’s words gave Karu a lot of power.
But judging from Karu’s performance these days, he deserved this trust.
Karu took a deep breath. His turbid eyes were decisive, and his shabby body seemed to have returned to his youth.
“I will guard Twilight City with my life!”
Richard nodded slightly.
Because Karu was no longer a hero, he could not command the troop. And he could not hand over the control of the troop to the opponent. So Richard had to explain.
He had all the guardian mummies listen to Karu’s orders based on the principle of protecting the territory.
Richard waved his hand and let them follow Karu.
With that, there were still three teams of bandaged mummies left.
The number of soldiers to protect Twilight City was already close to a squadron.
The bandaged mummies could be scattered outside the territory as sentries in the future.
The guardian mummies would protect Twilight City.
One would be on the outside and one on the inside. No matter what kind of enemy attacked, there would be time to react.
Richard was satisfied.
Just as he was about to go back and take a hot bath, the system suddenly rang.
[Ding~ This week is a special disaster week — drought. Lord, please take precautions.]
[Ding~ The production of all troop lairs has been refreshed. Lord, please recruit on your own.]
What was going on?
He was slightly stunned. After he opened the first system notification, he subconsciously looked at the system time.
May 8, 7600, at 20:00.
How was this week a special disaster week… drought?
I’m already in the desert, and you’re telling me it is drought? Is there anything in this world drier than this torrid place?
After Richard complained in his heart, he saw the second system notification.
[Troop production would be refreshed every Monday at 8:00 pm.]
His breathing suddenly became rapid.
He quickly opened the troop lairs’ panel.
The next second.
His heart thumped faster and faster.
[This dense wave of money was going to explode!!]
[Great Pyramid (Elite 3-stars, three seats) — Recruitable Troop: Bandaged Mummy, Recruitable Quant.i.ty: 21]
[Scorpion Lair (Elite 3-stars, one seat) — Recruitable Troop: Poisonous Scorpion Warrior, Recruitable Quant.i.ty: 7]
[Cursed Pyramid (Elite 3-stars, one seat) — Recruitable Troop: Cursed Pharaoh, Recruitable Quant.i.ty: 5
[Battle Axe Wooden House (Rare 3-stars, one seat) — Recruitable Troop: Axe of the Dead, Recruitable Quant.i.ty: 5]
Even worse, he glanced at the guardian mummy he had recruited a few minutes ago.
[Guardian Land (Elite 3-stars, three seats) — Recruitable Troop: Guardian Pharaoh Mummy, Recruitable Quant.i.ty: 30]
“Hahahaha! !”
Richard laughed loudly.
“What do you mean by a dense wave of money?!! What the h.e.l.l do you mean by a dense wave of money?!!”
