Chapter 223: The Aftermath of the War (4100 words, two chapters in one)

After the end of the war, the city of twilight was back alive.

The residents who came out of their homes gathered excitedly in the square in front of the lord's mansion at this time, and excitedly discussed with each other about the war just now.

Thanks to the fact that the City of Dusk did not have walls yet, they witnessed the war up close.

Whether it is the terrifying dragon breath of the bone blood dragon that can melt people, or the ferocious cannon fire that the alchemy cannon can tear through everything, it makes the residents extremely excited.

A strong sense of honor and honor arose in my heart.

"Do you see? Those alchemy artillery, a single shot killed hundreds of enemies! ”

"What are you, what I saw is even more powerful, Lord Jarvis directly burned tens of thousands of people with a mouthful of dragon breath!"

"In the future, I will become as strong as a dragon, protect the territory, and fight for the lord!"

"Remember that more than two months ago, there were only a dozen mummified troops in the City of Dusk, and now, our army has multiplied tenfold! Praise to your lordship......"

β€œ......”

Richard had just re-enshrined the Ancient Tree of Evil, which had devoured all the limbs of the corpse, back to its old place, and walked in from outside the territory, with a smile on his face as the number of poisonous wasps skyrocketed.

When the agitated residents saw him, they immediately began to make a tsunami cry.

Suddenly, the entire territory boiled like cold water dripping from hot oil.

All looked at the king who ruled over them with extremely hot eyes.

The only lord of the land.

Wherever Richard passed, the inhabitants on both sides immediately bowed, and respect radiated from the bottom of their hearts.

Richard smiled and nodded at everyone.

Then he stood in front of the lord's mansion and waved at the residents.

Lang said.

"The people of the City of Dusk."

"We're victorious!"

This sentence is like igniting a powder keg.

Exploded in an instant.

"Praise the City of Dusk!"

"Praise to Lord Richard!"

"Long live your lord!!"

β€œ......”

The best way to boost morale is to win, and winning a foreign war can be doubled.

And this time, the City of Twilight won extremely beautifully.

And a victory under the watchful eyes of all.

The encouragement to the hearts of the residents is countless times stronger than the blood of chickens.

Richard didn't have much, and the atmosphere had reached such a point that words were no longer needed to set it off.

Waving at the crowd, he turned and entered the lord's mansion.

The excitement of the residents is undiminished, and they are still venting their inner excitement to each other.

It didn't go away for a long time.

Returning to drink the hot tea made by the maid, Richard opened the player forum with a bit of comfort.

It's like the comfort of surfing the Internet after a busy day.

While the city survived the crisis and even turned disaster into a boon, the other players were not as powerful.

This disaster week, for them, is a real disaster.

"My territory has been captured, what should I do now? The system prompted that I had lost my status as a lord, MMP, and that because I was below 70 points, the residents didn't plan to follow me all the time, and they all ran away...... Holy shit, what kind of bullshit disaster week is this?! ”

"These field troops are too fierce! There is even a level 10 hero unit in it, if I hadn't given up my fat and asked for help from the NPC noble young woman near my territory, this time the game would have been over, but now I'm very happy, because I'm going to celebrate the 60th birthday of that noble young woman! ”

"Hahahaha, the eternal god of skull sea tactics! Those little cubs who were besieging the city were directly flooded by my sea of skeletons, and the only downside was that there were only 100 level 1 small skeletons left in my territory now......"

"Everyone, pay attention, "Glorious Era" is not a game, it will really kill people, I grass his uncle, there are 20 players in our guild, 7 of them were killed just now, and they died in front of me, and their heads rolled to the soles of my feet, and my legs are very weak now.........."

β€œ......”

Among the players' speeches, some have survived this wave of monster sieges, and some have not, and the territory has been conquered, and they have become exiled lords.

Some were directly overwhelmed by a wave and killed directly.

It's already good luck to be able to post, and it's more about dying without a name......

A bloody war made many players who had a game mentality for "Glorious Era" realize the cruelty of this world.

If you don't develop and don't get stronger, you will die even if you don't go out.

The enemy came to the door, and they didn't even have the strength to fight back.

This Disaster Week has profoundly changed players' attitudes towards "Glorious Era", and even directly affected the future pattern of "Glorious Era".

Richard didn't think much about it at this time, this disaster was purely a blessing for the city of twilight.

Thousands of rare 3-star poisonous wasps, if this is recruited with resources, how many resources will it cost to recruit 12,000 resources for a rare class?

Tens of millions.

This wave of direct prostitution of tens of millions of resources for nothing, I feel comfortable when I think about it.

"Strength is the foundation of everything."

"Without strength, natural disasters are natural disasters, and with strength, natural disasters can also become welfare."

Richard closed the forum with some emotion.

It strengthened the idea of developing the city of twilight quickly.

Whatever the situation, the best way to deal with any crisis is to be strong yourself.

After thinking about it, let people call all the heroes of the city of dusk.

After everyone came, Richard didn't talk nonsense and asked directly.

"Karui, what are the losses in this war?"

Karui, whose face was full of wrinkles, immediately stepped forward to reply.

"Lord Richard, the war consumed a total of 510 alchemy bombs, and there are 1,630 left."

"Bandage mummies killed 22 people, 20 people remain."

"The scorpion warriors are 4 dead, and there are 53 left."

"That's all the loss."

After speaking, he continued in an exclamatory tone.

"The Giant Mouth Artillery played an extremely bright role in this battle, and seventy percent of the enemy was killed by the artillery."

"Your decision to bring the Megamouth Cannon back to the City of Dusk is a brilliant one."

Richard smiled.

The Giant Mouth Cannon is a great weapon used by the Grey Dwarves to defend the walls of the main city.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party wanted to break through Bloodhoof City and bring these exaggerated cannons, he wouldn't have been able to get them so easily.

What the underworld gained this time literally radiated to the City of Dusk.

"Good, all of you did a great job this time."

After complimenting him, he looked at the level 12 alchemist who was born with a deformed arm-

"Brown, is the damage to the Megamouth severe?"

The gray dwarf sitting in an inconspicuous position on the long table immediately became the center of everyone's attention.

Brown's heart suddenly tensed, and his tone was a little trembling.

"Master, the Megamouth Cannon is designed to fire 50 rounds of alchemy bombs that require one maintenance, and currently up to half of the number is fired.

But with the current reserves of our alchemy bombs, we don't need to maintain them for the time being......"

After shooting those shells, they can't reach the level of maintenance, and there is no point in maintaining them.

Richard nodded.

"What do I need to maintain the Alchemy Cannon?"

"Mercury!"

Looking at his puzzled gaze, Brown hurriedly said.

"The alchemy cannon fire will wear out the mercury engraved in the barrel of the cannon, which is part of the alchemy magic array."

"Once the alchemy magic array is seriously worn, there will be a decrease in range, a decrease in power, and even if it is not maintained for a long time, there will be a risk of exploding."

This is not much different from what the system introduced.

"How much mercury do you need to consume for each maintenance?"

"It depends on the wear and tear of the gun chamber, the more severe the wear, the more consumption...... If it is maintained after 50 launches, each door will cost 30 units of mercury. ”

30 units?

105 doors that is 3150 units.

Richard knew in his heart that compared to the power of the alchemy cannon, it was obviously worth the price.

"I'll keep 20,000 units of mercury in the warehouse, and if you need to maintain the artillery, you can apply to Karui."

The gray dwarf was immediately excited.

"Yes, master!"

This is the first time he has been directly assigned a task by Richard in front of everyone.

This means that he has initially integrated into this territory.

And this is exactly what he values the most.

Richard withdrew his gaze to the other heroes.

"Anything else to report?"

Sheena, who has a resolute gaze and a fierce temperament that is a veteran of a hundred battles, slowly stood up.

Look straight at him.

"Lord Richard, this time the field class launched an attack on the city of twilight, which is a bit strange."

Richard came interested.

"How?"

Sheena said in a deep voice.

"Once a territory is established, it affects the activities of surrounding creatures, so at some point, these monsters will unite to destroy the enemies that threaten them."

"There is also a legend that it is a rule set by the creator god that the territory will be attacked by the field troopsβ€”because the lord has power far beyond that of ordinary people, and enjoys the most honorable position."

"So the God of Creation made the rule that if you want to become a lord, you must be tested."

"Every once in a while, including the territory of the Krina tribe, it will be attacked by a field class."

"Sometimes it's every few years, sometimes it's every few months."

"But these attacking field troops will have normal intelligence, and if they encounter too many casualties, they will immediately evacuate."

As he spoke, his voice became solemn.

"And the enemy who launched an attack on the City of Twilight this time has blood-colored eyes, and even if all of them are killed, they will not retreat, which is extremely abnormal."

When Richard heard this, he looked at Sheena thoughtfully.

A few keywords were detected.

Every once in a while, the Krina will be attacked by field troops...... In other words, Special Disaster Week is also in effect for Indigenous forces.

Beast Releases won't just target players.

On the other hand, those armies that attacked the Krina did not have bloody eyes...... He thought of the Two-Headed Ogre Lord.

The other party's eyes are very normal, and they run if they can't beat them, and they don't lose their minds.

What's going on with those bloody eyes??

Is it a special treasure? Some powerful skills? Special rules for Calamity Week or a trait of the Desert of Death??

It occurred to him that he had obtained two items from the Two-Headed Ogre Lord - a mysterious map with its own navigation and a Space Pearl.

Maybe you can find the answer from the mystery that the map points to?

Thinking about it, I suppressed the urge in my heart to go on an adventure immediately, and now is not the time.

Attention returns to the house.

"There is too little information about this matter to make a judgment."

"I know a clue at the moment, and we'll investigate it in two days."

Sheena nodded yes, not dwelling on it.

Richard thought for a moment, then looked at the gray dwarf again.

Asked the question that Sheena was most concerned about.

"Brown, did you know that the gray dwarves have mastered a special alchemy - the ...... of blood exchange"

These words immediately lifted Sheena's heart.

His eyes were firmly fixed on each other, and his breathing subconsciously slowed down.

Brown said hurriedly.

"Master, the alchemy blood exchange technique was researched by a gray dwarf alchemist in Crucible City."

said with a bit of hatred in his eyes.

"That damn bastard led the gray dwarves astray!"

Then began to speak indignantly.

In Brown's story, Richard gradually learns the secrets.

The Grey Dwarves are weak and are the only race of Dungeons that cannot conquer Wyverns.

This shortcoming has always been the deepest pain in the gray dwarf's heart.

Under the inferiority complex, a new idea was born - to use other races to strengthen oneself.

What gray dwarf wouldn't want to have the body of a dragon?

I have to say that the wisdom of the gray dwarves is indeed extraordinary, although it is difficult to implement, after countless experiments.

Finally, he has developed the alchemy technique of using the blood of powerful life to strengthen himself.

After transformation, the gray dwarf with a weak body can possess extremely powerful power.

But the reason why this alchemy has not been widely promoted is because it has a very serious consequence - it will turn itself into a monster.

And the more power you get, the more deformed the monster you transform.

Brown, who had personally seen his companion become a terrifying monster, was adamantly opposed to the use of this technology.

His opposition directly offended many of his supporters, especially the current Grey Dwarf Chieftain, who was furious and expelled him from the Crucible.

At the end, Brown said excitedly.

"Master, you must not believe in alchemy for blood, it will only turn people into monsters who have lost their minds, without reason, what is the use of having great power?"

Richard waved his hand to calm Brown down.

Told the seal on Sheena's body and the idea of breaking the seal with blood exchange.

Brown listened and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, I looked at Sheena with amazement.

"The seal of the gods, the god of the gray dwarves, Lady Sheena, your ancestors must be extremely powerful."

If you are not strong enough, how can you offend the gods and let the gods release a curse that can be passed down from the bloodline.

Finally, with a little uncertainty.

"In order to refute that bastard, I also delved into the alchemy of blood exchange."

"The alchemy for blood technique can indeed release all the blood in Ms. Sheena's body, and it can keep her alive."

"But if you want to break the seal, you need another powerful blood to fuse with it."

"The seal is just a special power."

"Master, if you can find a bloodline as powerful as Lady Sheena, and find a blood that can withstand the power of the gods' seal, I can try."

Richard's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Is Hina, a hero with great power, finally about to be released from her cage?

He's been looking forward to it for a long time.

The complete body of Sheena, I am afraid that her combat power will not be inferior to that of the dragon hero of Jarvis.

The opponent's strong single-point breakthrough ability is the best in the field.

With this warrior, the decapitation ability of the Dusk City army can be upgraded by several notches.

However, it can withstand the blood of the power of the gods' seals, and this thing seems to be difficult to find.
