After upgrading the scorpion warrior, Richard was in a good mood.

The feeling of watching the power in his hands grow little by little simply fascinated him.

Upgrading the spring, upgrading the territory, upgrading the scorpion warrior, it was a busy morning.

By the time he was free, it was half past one o'clock in the afternoon.

Just after lunch, several long-armed laborers with ugly faces were brought into the hall by the bandaged mummy guarding the lord's mansion.

The other party's face was panicked and panicked, as if he had been greatly frightened.

"The host...... Big things are not good!! ”

The tone became sharp because he was too nervous.

Richard's eyes froze when he saw the appearance of the long-armed laborer.

"What happened?"

The other party hurriedly reported, "When we were mining iron ore this morning, a group of ghosts suddenly appeared outside the mine...... It's horrible......"

Wraiths attacked the iron mines?

Richard's eyes lit up.

He didn't care about resource points, but these sudden ghosts made him quite interested.

Maybe it's another emergency.

Aren't these surprises a task and a benefit?

"Are there any enemies besides the spirits?"

"I don't know......," the laborers shook their heads, "we evacuated as soon as we found the ghosts." ”

"You lead the way, I'll take care of it myself."

"Yes, host......"

The morale of the long-armed laborers was immediately boosted.

After Richard gathered the army, he did not delay, and directly ordered to set off, and the long-armed laborers panted to lead the way in front.

Half an hour later.

On top of a towering sand dune, Richard stared at the iron mine two hundred meters away, his brow furrowed slightly.

Even if you don't get close, you can feel that this iron mine is different from the normal state, and it is cold everywhere, which makes people's hearts hairy.

Open the Properties panel.

[Capacity]: Minimum 5 people, maximum 10 people

[Introduction]: An iron ore occupied by the undead.

Haunted iron mines?

Richard's interest was even higher, and the sudden appearance of these ghosts didn't seem so simple.

Occupy the iron ore first, and then find out why.

With a wave of his hand.

"The army is ready to fight."

"Hold the formation and advance towards the iron ore."

Two squads of scorpion warriors lined up in front of them, one and a half squads of the Axes of the Dead at a distance of 20 meters, and the Pharaoh was at the end.

The Iron Triangle soon pressed to the edge of the iron mine, and Richard was at the rear, his eyes fixed on the iron mine, ready to give orders at any time.

Roar~

A terrible roar sounded like that of dozens of dying people.

The slightly eerie Iron Mine suddenly appears with the ghosts of five squads.

These ghosts have the appearance of human beings, floating in the air ten centimeters above the ground, emitting a faint blue light.

The body is translucent, and the face is very blurred and distorted.

Yin and gloomy.

"The whole army will attack, and no one will be left!"

Accompanied by a cold command.

The scorpion warrior immediately charged forward, and the two iron pincers were fierce.

The battle axe in the hand of the Axe of the Dead was also thrown at the same moment.

Whew~

The tomahawk made a violent sound of breaking through the air, and the spirits floating in the air could not dodge.

Click~ was directly blasted by a huge force, like a fragile crystal falling to the ground.

The high amount of magic damage caused the group of undead who were immune to 50% physical damage to be subjected to the Iron Fist of the City of Dusk.

The Axe of the Dead took out two squads in one attack.

There is still an insurmountable gap between being immune to 50% of physical damage and being immune to 99% of desertification.

The scorpion warrior let out a low growl in his throat.

The iron tongs opened and puffed~ directly pierced the ghosts surging in front of them.

It's like a knife edge penetrating gel and jelly, and a visible obstacle is felt.

Click~ The iron tongs closed and directly shredded a large part of the bodies of these undead.

Shout~

The scorpion warrior's scorpion tail pierced like lightning at this moment.

The moment it stabbed the ghost, the poison of the scorpion tail spread.

The ghost's translucent body immediately glowed blue, and its body fell into a state of paralysis, unable to move.

Puff~ The iron pincers swung again, completely tearing apart the opponent's body.

Under the crushing of the opponent's strength several levels higher, the battle ended quickly.

The cursed pharaoh didn't make a move until the end, and the elite-level ghosts of these five squads were annihilated.

"Ding~ The army you led wiped out a group of ghosts, won a mini-battle, and you gained 100 experience."

"Ding~ You have recovered the iron ore that was robbed by the ghosts, do you want to reoccupy it?"

Confirm.

After making a choice, the haunted iron ore just now immediately turned into a normal iron ore, and the eerie aura disappeared without a trace.

Richard couldn't help but wonder if the task was not triggered.

Where do these ghosts come from?

Immediately summoned the high-spirited long-armed laborers in the rear and inquired about it.

The laborer shook his head, "Master, we don't know either, we only know that the ghost we saw first appeared in that direction......"

As he spoke, he pointed to the north of the iron mine, and then said with some fear.

"Master, will it be, there is a city of the undead over there......"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Richard's eyes lit up.

It's not impossible.

If there really is a city of the dead, this wave is coming.

After resuming their production work, they immediately went to the north with the army↑.

At the same time, the troops are scattered in a fan pattern.

It didn't take long for Richard to encounter an unexpected situation.

In front of him was a field gathering place, but it had been slaughtered.

And what surprised him even more was that a large amount of flesh appeared on the sand, but there were no bones.

It seems that the bones have been pulled out alive.

"It's ...... Summoning skeletons? ”

Richard was thoughtful.

"Summoning skeletons is the signature skill of the undead, and knowing how to kill wild monsters and gather an army, it seems that the undead forces in this vicinity are not weak."

"Could it be that there really is a city of the dead?"

The interest in my heart is even stronger.

Continuing to explore, within half an hour, he had discovered seven or eight slaughtered troop gatherings in a row.

And without exception, their bones are missing.

There were even a few places where the arms gathered without even corpses, leaving only traces of the battle.

"No wonder they all say that the undead are scoundrels, if this is given to an undead lord to sneak around for a period of time, he can't accumulate a few brigades of troops?"

Although the strength of the skeleton soldiers is not strong, if it really takes thousands of skeleton soldiers to come over, few lords can afford it at this stage.

The aggressiveness shown by this unknown undead force also made Richard feel threatened.

If you can attack his iron ore today, tomorrow the other party will dare to attack the city of dusk.

The undead are not a good camp, and they are not negotiable when it comes to fighting.

Elevate your vigilance to the highest level and keep exploring.

It didn't take long for the army to spot traces left by the undead in the desert, seemingly just past.

Richard perked up and sped up.

After another half an hour, the scorpion warrior who was exploring the path ahead suddenly returned...... They found the enemy.

"Finally found ......"

Richard was overjoyed, and gathered the army scattered around him to the place where the scorpion warrior was.

Under the cover of the sand dunes, follow their guidance to see the target of pursuit.

Quite unlike his imaginary territory or undead city, there was a half-mined iron mine ahead.

Ore is scattered all around.

A large number of skeleton warriors patrolled the iron mines, and the number was only more than 3 squadrons.

At this moment, two squadrons of skeleton warriors were slowly walking from the desert, carrying some corpses into the iron mine.

It didn't take long for it to disappear from Richard's sight.

He looked closely in the direction where the skeleton warrior had disappeared, and found that in the central area of the iron mine, there was a hole leading to the underground.

"That undead city, built underground?"
