G.o.ds above, the great master had given him a second life!
As long as Twilight City did not fall, he would never have to worry about dying in an accident!
The Hero Altar stirred up his emotions.
His loyalty to Richard and his sense of belonging to Twilight City rose rapidly.
In the end, Richard summoned the two transformed life heroes and bound them to the altar.
This way, even if they were to encounter an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt in the future, there would not be a problem.
After all, the heroes could be resurrected.
Richard felt a sense of security he had never felt before.
In the future, no matter how intense the war was, he would not have to worry about irreparable losses.
Time pa.s.sed quickly.
Two days later, it was the 20th of July.
The hunting army had gathered enough resources for recruitment.
Richard didn’t hesitate to recruit all the new units.
Their total military strength had increased greatly.
The biggest advantage of the mummy was that they did not need to consider logistics. As long as the soldiers dropped, there was no other expenditure.
He was most satisfied with this.
If it was a normal troop type, just the daily food and drink of these thousands of people would be enough to make him collapse.
How many supplies did he have to carry with him once he went to war?
In terms of the territory’s security, after the large army in the wild was defeated the day before, there were only a few troops.
The beast was killed by him as soon as it was released from the cage.
The dark gargoyle’s patrol range had expanded to 50 kilometers, but there was still no large gathering of enemies.
With the G.o.d’s ancient tree and several venomous wasps as defense, Richard was no longer worried about his safety.
After everything was settled, Richard took out the two items he had obtained from the twin-headed ogre lord.
After some thought, he immediately gathered the air force and called Karu.
“Master Karu, you take care of the territory.” As he spoke, he gestured to the map that came with its own navigation.
“This is the map I got from the enemy last time. There are probably many good resources hidden in that area.”
This item was a reward dropped by a level 14 hero from the monster attack on the city. He felt that he would be able to gain a lot this time.
This was especially true for the s.p.a.ce pearl, which had a lot of meaning behind it.
Master Karu seemed to have thought of something and asked another question, “My Lord, do we need to send more troops to guard the entrance to the underworld?”
Richard nodded.
“The mummies will be enough. The underground world is in chaos, and the forces that pose a threat to us can’t escape. We only need to prevent the enemy from coming to the surface without us noticing.”
The underground world contained a huge amount of wealth, but it would take a lot of time to develop.
However, what he lacked the most right now was time. Moreover, he had already made a fortune underground, so he could not just grab a sheep and exploit it. It would not be too late to go after Bloodhoof City had conquered a few underground forces.
It would happen gradually.
As he spoke, he scanned the territory, “If there’s an emergency, you can send the venomous wasps to help.”
Although the combat power of the venomous wasps was not as strong as that of the skeleton blood dragon, their quant.i.ty was overwhelming.
Without an area-of-effect skill like dragon’s breath, the venomous wasps would definitely become an enemy’s nightmare.
In the next second, Master Karu understood it, “Yes, My lord. Please be careful.”
Richard didn’t stay any longer after giving out his orders. He left Twilight city with 160 dark gargoyles, 30 skeleton blood dragons, and 4 A-rank heroes, as well as all the sand condensation archers and the undead axe.
As the army took off, Richard turned his head to see that his air force had grown to a certain size.
His eyes were sparkling.
“After this expedition, I’ll acc.u.mulate resources and upgrade all the lair I have. When I’m strong enough, I can enter the ancient ruins again to explore. I wonder how many more treasures are hidden in the remaining doors…”
As Richard thought about it, he commanded one of the heroes to fly out of the territory.
The 30 skeleton blood dragons led the Army, followed by more than 100 dark gargoyles.
It was a pity that they did not encounter a demon army. Otherwise, they could develop the remaining three skeleton demons and greatly increase their power.
The skeleton blood dragon and the skeleton demon were both 1-star.
A skeleton blood dragon could be recruited by hunting a mixed-blood dragon, but a skeleton demon required a pure-blood demon.
However, the desert was not an abyss. How could there be so many demons?
As such, the number of skeleton demons had always been a pitiful few.
Richard had to give up on this shortcut to get crown-level troops because of the difficulty of getting the bodies. Furthermore, compared to killing enemies, it was undoubtedly more reliable and practical to recruit from one’s own lair.
“I have gone one round, but reaching the end is difficult. We’re lacking in resources…”
Richard was having a headache. Originally, he had gone to the underground world to perform a major mission and earned a lot, but he had used it all up.
During this period, he obtained a top-tier hero and tens of thousands of rare resources. Although there was a huge profit, the scarcity of resources still could not be solved.
“When I return this time, I’ll put aside the other things and focus on earning resources. I’ll set a small goal-a month later. Twilight City must have 20 lairs of a glorious-level troop!”
To upgrade toward a glorious level, Richard would need 5 million resources. Twenty of them would need 100 million.
As Richard pondered, the army never stopped moving.
Five hours later, Richard, who was sitting on a hero, waved his hand with the mysterious map in hand.
“Stop,” he ordered.
The moment they heard the order, the army seemed to have a pause b.u.t.ton pressed, and they directly hovered in the air.
He compared it to the map and looked into the distance, and his spirit was instantly lifted.
“We’re here.”
Everyone immediately focused their attention.
A thousand meters away, a layer of radiant and colorful shield descended from the sky—isolating the front like a city wall.
Through the shield, a special scene could be seen. An ethereal lake was suspended in the sky.
It wasn’t just lake water. Rather, it was water that was connected to the land.
Above him was azure water, and below him was an irregular rocky ground. It was like a lake that had been cut open like a cake.
However, the lake water that was in the air did not trickle out. Instead, it was fixed to the rocks on the ground as it flowed.
As far as the eye could see, the entire desert in front of him was a parted lake floating in the sky. It was vast and magnificent.
Even the most imaginative dream would not be able to conjure the magnificence of this scene. It was extremely visually impactful!
At that moment, a system notification suddenly rang out.
[Ding~ You have discovered the land of broken laws.]
The Battle of the G.o.ds caused chaos in the organization of certain areas. In order to prevent them from completely collapsing, the G.o.ds had sealed off these areas.
Within the broken land, there were extremely chaotic laws and special life forms.
However, it was also possible to obtain treasures and equipment that were not available on the main plane. Careful exploration would be needed.
