843 Chapter 504: Swamp Upgrade, Watching the Tiger from the Mountain [4/4]
[Ding~ The rotten swamp had absorbed several flesh and souls. It has leveled up to two, and its range has increased by 10 kilometers. Twenty kilometers in diameter.]
[The number of automatically produced lairs has increased to two per week. The maximum number has increased by ten. Twenty seats. The upper limit is 30.]
[The level of the self-produced troop lairs is upgraded from rare to glorious. The produced troop lair and the recruited troops are upgraded to glorious-level after it has consumed flesh and soul energy.]
[Ding~ Rotten swamp has obtained a new characteristic–Blood Mist.”]
[Blood Mist]
[Generates a layer of mist that can interfere with the vision and perception of outsiders. One will immediately receive two negative statuses upon infection: slow reaction and carelessness, and two positive statuses for the recruited soldier: agility and super perception when they are in the mist.]
Richard read the system notifications several times. That enlivened his mood.
He had finally leveled up!
The rotten swamp was no longer in its nascent state.
He had expanded the range to 20 kilometers. But the maximum number of lairs had also increased to 30. The level of the soldiers had also increased to glorious.
The strength of Twilight City soared.
Richard took a few deep breaths to calm his joy.
“This is very satisfying. But it also shows that leveling up in the rotten swamp is overwhelmingly arduous. This time, I slayed tens of thousands or less of brain eater demons before leveling up once. The task is unimaginable.”
Richard subconsciously turned to look at the battlefield while soldiers still fought as he thought of this.
Levels 3, 4, 5, and 6. The amount of flesh and corpses required would increase exponentially with each subsequent level up.
He looked at his attribute panel and gritted his teeth.
He had to level up the rotten swamp to 3 no matter what.
The rotten swamp could have the capital to establish itself with the crown-level soldiers.
He couldn’t send his troops to guard this place at all times.
This piece of land should help Twilight City, not to drain his energy.
“Continue hunting!”
Loreinna, who had been killing the enemies with her long spear, suddenly turned back.
She said with a solemn expression, “Lord, a new plane is about to open a spatial rift.
“Should we withdraw from the battlefield? We might have to pay a hefty price if they ambushed us…”
“Another plane?”
Richard frowned.
This Naga Plane had almost appeared publicly, and anyone could come and interfere.
He was about to respond. An idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
The rotten swamp needed to devour flesh and souls to reinforce, but there was no limit. It had to be the lives killed by the b.l.o.o.d.y slaughterers or Twilight City.
“In that case. Why do we have to back down?”
Borrowing a knife could kill.
These unfamiliar planes do not have a friendly relationship with each other.
Their covetousness billed them with the desire to invade each other.
Two unfamiliar planes suddenly connected. The possibility of harmonious contact was almost zero. This place had the naked law of the forest.
He would do the same if it were him. The first thing he would do was to send troops to conquer, occupy, and plunder if he discovered an unfamiliar dimension.
One cannot resolve unity or achieve the most generous profitability by sending troops alone.
His troops could have crushed the enemies of the Kingdom of Ell if Twilight City had enough power.
Let alone those living in different planes, factions, races, and beliefs, even if he were like that.
His thoughts couldn’t help but come alive.
He glanced at the spatial rift of the Brain Eater Demon Plane.
“How many other planes are connected to the Naga Plane?”
Loreinna didn’t speak. Silver energy surged from her body, and her figure became sparingly blurry.
The energy condensed into a physical form again afterward.
Her gaze was solemn.
“Lord, there are three more…According to the aura emitted by these planes, they were all middle-level planes and could nurture transcendents.”
“Transcendents?”
None of these has discouraged Richard a bit. Instead, Eagerness lit his eyes up.
He turned to look at the dark soul eater, Kratos. This level 19 boss still needed to slay a transcendent to level up.
“Is it possible for an existence above transcendent to appear?”
“A plane of this level couldn’t give birth to a transcendent.”
Loreinna rea.s.sured Richard.
“One could only nurture transcendents in vast dimensions…”
Richard’s eyes flickered.
“Can you open these planes in advance?”
“Yes, the spatial barrier of these planes is already weak. It’s like standing under a dangerous wall and gently pushing. It wouldn’t take much effort.”
“Then open all these planes…”
That confounded Loreinna.
“Open them all? Lord, our troop couldn’t simultaneously deal with enemies from multiple planes…”
The Vampire Breed wasn’t strong enough to face several dimensions, although they and the Twilight City troops were strong.
“Why not? Who are they?”
Richard glanced at the rotten swamp, which the faint red mist now mostly blocked it.
“We just need to make the rotten swamp our main battlefield.
“At the same time, we just need to protect the rift in the holy land and let it freely devour the power of s.p.a.ce.”
Richard looked at Loreinna and explained the attributes of the rotten swamp briefly.
“Why can’t this land become the main battlefield for those planes to attack each other?
“No one can refuse the benefits of invading another plane.
“We don’t need to partic.i.p.ate in such a chaotic battle with ma.s.sive losses. We just need to let them die here.”
Loreinna finally understood Richard’s intentions, and her eyes beamed sparingly.
“Lord, what if those planes didn’t go our way?”
Richard laughed.
“These planes still have to send troops, even if some are unwilling to attack other planes. The enemy would otherwise attack them.
“This world can’t be peaceful just because you want to.”
He could also see clearly that this plan was sparingly like roasting chestnuts from the open fire.
However, Twilight City troops wouldn’t necessarily fight in the battle to reap benefits. Richard just had to implement his plan.
Moreover, with Loreinna, who could instantly kill the Naga King, and the ability to summon a Fire Elemental Lord at any time, even if the enemy had a transcendent, Richard would have enough trump cards to deal with them.
The next level of battle power was still Kratos, the G.o.d’s ancient tree, and the divine soul Renee.
Richard wouldn’t need to initiate on the battlefield nor partic.i.p.ate in the killing. He only needed to protect the holy land and let it safely devour the power of s.p.a.ce.
Next, he only needed to watch these forces quietly fight each other. He just needed to wait for the rotten swamp to level up for each corpse.
