Time flies through the battle.

At 21:00 on August 17, after more than 20 hours of fierce fighting.

The Void Lickers who came in densely from afar began to gradually become scarce.

When the time came to 00:00, the system prompt suddenly rang.

"Ding~ The first wave of monster attacks is over, and the next wave will start after the end of the Death Arena."

"Please take it upon the Extra Lord to destroy the Dark Crystal on his own."

As the sound of the ascension fell, the remaining gaps in the space gradually returned to silence in Richard's sight.

No more Void Lickers pouring out.

At this time, I don't know how many players breathed a sigh of relief, with the joy of the rest of their lives on their faces.

They finally got through it.

An intense monster siege that lasted an entire day, destroying the territory of billions of players.

Only by facing this war can we understand the pressure.

When the last Void Licker was corroded into blood by the Bone Blood Dragon, Richard's face showed fatigue.

Three days into the dungeon, he hadn't closed his eyes.

Under such a high-intensity battle, no matter how tenacious the spirit is, it will reach the limit.

Return to the city at dusk, land on the walls, and look around.

The dark clouds with a surging shimmer of light keep the dim environment from being completely lost.

The ground outside the walls was bloody.

The corpse covered the yellow sand, and the blood clotted the sand into lumps.

The picture is creepy.

Look up and look further into the agricultural area.

When he saw what was ahead, Richard's eyelids jumped.

At this time, hundreds of acres of sand wheat were trampled extremely messy, and a large piece of it was poured in a mess.

That's enough to raise your blood pressure.

The jujube forest is even more unbearable, with large areas of trees dying directly and verdant leaves turning dry yellow.

When those Void Lickers passed through, the dark aura on their bodies was like sulfuric acid, which was powerful and corrosive to everything around them.

Plants that are sensitive to the environment are doubly harmed.

The breeding base of the Flame Dragon Rabbit was also moved to the ground by the Void Hunters at this moment, and the horizontal and vertical walls were scattered everywhere.

Although he was prepared, this scene still hurt Richard.

These are resources that have been accumulated with great difficulty, and I don't know how much effort has been invested in the process of taking care of them.

Now it's just gone.

And there are several big battles to come.

I'm afraid that the rest will also be destroyed.

Once the battle begins, it is impossible to have the spare energy to take care of this area.

"The agricultural area has to think carefully about how to resettle it."

Richard fell into deep thought.

You can now buy food from the Market.

However, after the population of Dusk City increases in the future, simply buying from the outside will only consume resources that will only drag down the finances.

Feeding 2,000 people is a completely different concept than feeding 20,000 or 200,000.

If the city of dusk grows to 100,000 people, even if it only consumes two or three units of food a day, it will be two or three hundred thousand units a day, two or three million resources.

Hundreds of millions of units of resources are paid in a month.

And what about the trading market that will continue to increase the fee in the future?

In the event of a natural disaster week, the food production is reduced, and other players raise the price, or even stop selling?

If agriculture is not under its control, the consequence is that if something unexpected happens, it will inevitably pay an unbearable price.

Richard, who was in deep thought, suddenly saw a figure on the side holding a long-handled giant axe walking slowly with his head down.

The centaur seems to be in an unusually low mood, deaf to everything around him.

And the large blood stains on the opponent's armor also looked quite scary.

"Emilyada ......"

Hearing the familiar voice, the little guy raised his head.

Seeing the mild and worried gaze in front of him, his nose suddenly became sore, and then he ran up directly, hugged Richard fiercely, buried his head in his arms and cried loudly.

Richard was stunned for a moment, then a little smile appeared on his face, and he touched the little guy's head.

Whisper comfort.

"Don't cry, don't cry, obediently, with me here, no one can bully you......"

Hearing this, the little one cried even harder.

It wasn't until a long time later, as if he was tired of crying, that the voice of the little centaur became quieter.

Sobbling and slowly leaving his embrace.

His eyes were red, and he looked at him pitifully.

"Father, I killed many, many monsters just now......"

As he spoke, he clutched his robe, as if he was afraid that his only reliance would leave.

Richard smiled and wiped the tears from the little centaur's face and applauded.

"Emilyada is strong, and I'm relieved."

"It's not your fault, don't worry, those monsters are our enemies, if we don't kill them, they will destroy everything about us."

"In the face of the enemy, you don't need to keep your hands."

"You've done a great job, not only helping me, but everyone in Dusk."

"The residents will be proud of you and proud of you."

Hearing this, the little man's eyes lit up.

The voice was small, uncertain.

"Really?"

Looking at the expectant gaze, Richard nodded.

"Really."

It was as if the judge had acquitted him, and the little man was immediately given a new lease of life.

The depressed mood instantly soared, and the red eyes bent into crescent moons.

But I cried for too long, and my throat was still throbbing uncontrollably.

Richard was amused, the child's face was really the same as the weather, and it changed when he said it.

Emilyada only thought of something at this time, and turned her head a little hazy to look around, and found that the army around her was looking at her, especially after Sheena was staring at her with a smile.

Ah~ let out an exclamation and buried his head in Richard's arms again.

His ears were red.

"Father's ......"

When Richard saw this, he couldn't help but laugh.

After calming the little guy for a while, the other party dared to raise his head, but immediately turned around and left.

The shy ones didn't dare to look at Sheena.

Looking at the other party's disappearing back, the corners of Richard's mouth curled slightly.

After this experience, the tense mood immediately relaxed a lot.

It's also fun to raise such a little guy.

Turning his head, he looked at the girl beside him.

"Sheena, you go and rest for a while, there is a big battle next, there is no need to be so tight."

The fierce momentum on Sheena's body also eased at this moment.

Looking at the handsome voice in front of him, he nodded slowly.

"Yes, sir."

didn't insist, in the battle just now, she was the main force, taking the lead, and charging forward every time.

Even if the physical recovery power can be called a perversion, the mental exhaustion is irreparable.

If you continue to fight, you are afraid that you will be dragged down.

After Sheena left, Richard looked at the mummy hero beside her.

"Gray, what about the army losses?"

Gray's empty voice rang out.

"Master, a total of 5 squads were killed in this battle, including the Mu Mu Yin Guardian, the Bandage Mu Yin 3 squads, and the Scorpion Warrior 2 squads."

"Combined, a squadron killed."

This may seem like a lot, but compared to the time span of a day and a night of fighting, and the number of enemies hunted in terms of legions.

vertex

These casualties are almost negligible.

Richard had a number in mind.

Quite satisfied with this.

The towering city walls gave the defending army a geographical advantage.

The three Hurricane Arrow Towers in the rear gave the army strong fire support.

And the quicksand outside, the pressure is enormous.

The defense system he had invested in building a huge amount of resources had finally seen its effect at this moment.

Moreover, the alchemy artillery is a big killer weapon that has not yet been put into battle at the moment.

The power of the City of Twilight is still hidden.

Retracting his scattered thoughts, Richard glanced around the city.

Suddenly, I saw many residents staring out through the windows.

Although there is worry and fear in their eyes, there is more of a desire.

When they saw Richard looking at them, they immediately became excited.

They don't want to stay in the house all the time, and they want to do their part for the city of Dusk.

Even if it is death, it must survive with the city of twilight.

The high morale of the people above 90 points is never a simple data.

Richard read the looks.

"Gray, give Karui an order to keep the residents working."

"Tell everyone that even if they die, I can resurrect them without any worries."

"As you wish."

As Gray passed the news, there was an immediate burst of cheers from the residents.

Get what you want.

In a matter of moments, a large number of residents poured out of their residences and spontaneously gathered in the small square in front of the lord's mansion.

One by one, they looked at the figure on the city wall with their backs to them.

That was the ruler of the land and the leader they trusted and worshipped.

Sensing the buzz from behind, Richard slowly turned around.

Seeing the hot eyes of nearly 2,000 residents, the emotions in my heart also fluctuated a little.

These are his people, and at the first order, all will fight for him.

He holds power and controls the lives and deaths of countless people.

It's a feeling that amazes the most determined of minds.

Power is a man's best coat, this sentence is never false.

The sound resounded through the sky.

"My people."

"You are now on another plane."

"We are in the midst of a protracted war."

"Death, killing, blood...... The world is full of darkness. ”

"Outside the city walls, there are countless monsters, and they attack and fight day and night."

"If it can't be resisted, the city of twilight will sink and be destroyed."

"I need your help."

"You need to do your part to fight for the City of Twilight."

The fanning tone immediately boosted the morale of the residents below.

Clenched his fists and held his breath, waiting for their master to give orders.

At this moment, even if they are asked to carry weapons to the battlefield, they will not hesitate.

They are willing to give everything for the sake of the City of Twilight, they may be afraid, they will be afraid, but they will never back down.

"Karui will arrange for you to enter the production department later."

"Everyone is on the job and doing their job."

"Remember, in this plane, even if you die, I can resurrect you."

"Adjournment."

As the words fell, the residents bowed in unison.

Nearly 2,000 people saluted at the same time, which brought a strong visual impact.

Richard didn't say anything more, and turned back to the lord's mansion.

Seeing this, the residents also dispersed in an orderly manner with excitement and began to work in the corresponding departments.

Blacksmiths, tailors, breweries, food workshops...... A large number of people poured in.

The city is back to its former hustle and bustle.

And this time, because the enemy could attack at any moment, all the inhabitants were in a particularly high mood.

Even the production efficiency is greatly improved.

Back at the lord's mansion, Richard didn't rush to rest, and went to the corner of the front yard where the class nest was placed.

When a class dies, it can be revived for a fee.

At that point, the fallen class will be reborn from the lair.

Open the stats panel and take a look, it costs 600 points to resurrect a rare class.

The City of Twilight lost a squadron, which required a total of 60 thousand.

It doesn't seem like much, but hunting a rare class gives you 20 points.

These 60,000 points need to hunt 3,000 rare level monsters.

The amount required to resurrect has been increased by 30 times.

In the eyes of the average player, this is definitely a big hemorrhage.

But Richard, who had deep pockets, didn't care about it at all.

With a wave of his hand, he immediately reappeared the army that had just been killed.

In addition, the number of bone blood dragons killed in the purge just now has also increased to 10.

These units that charge forward will often be the first to be set on fire by the opponent.

However, the crown class has 100 points per head, 30 times is 3,000 points, and 10 heads are 30,000.

In this way, once there is a large-scale death, just spending points to resurrect will account for a large part.

Some players who are not strong enough will not earn enough points to resurrect the army.

After the 90,000 points were consumed, Richard glanced at his points.

3.78 million.

The corners of the mouth are raised high.

A minimum of 1,500,000 points of this amount were contributed by the Land of Quicksand.

The Ancient Tree of Iniquity is crazy.

At this time, the points of the second place in the points ranking are only more than 1 million, and the gap is getting wider and wider.

After the army was all resurrected, he reopened the class lair panel in front of him.

The day he entered the dungeon on the 15th was Monday, and eight o'clock in the evening was the time for the class lair to refresh, but he couldn't pull his hand out at that time.

At this time, I took a look at it, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

Sure enough, you can also recruit troops in the dungeon.

didn't hesitate at the moment, and directly recruited all the refreshed troops.

When he entered the dungeon, he only earned 20 million resources from the underworld as a reserve.

Plenty of ammunition.

The number of troops immediately rose by a quarter.

Rare Classes –

Muno Yin Guardian 330→360,

Axe of the Dead 330→380

Bandage Muno 63→84

Scorpion Warrior 71→78

Greataxe Death Ride 177→198

Sand Archers 350→400

Wild Sand Mage 200→225

Curse Pharaoh 40→45

Brilliant Classes –

Dark Gargoyle 220→240,

Axe of the Dead 65→70,

Heavy Knife Warrior 20.

Crown Class - Bone Blood Dragon 30

A total of 209 rare classes were recruited, each with a unit price of 12,000 units of resources and a consumption of 2,508,000 resources.

Recruit 25 brilliant troops, each with a unit price of 42,000 and a cost of 1.05 million.

After a wave of recruitment, there are more than 16 million left in 20 million resources.

The only pity is that you can't use the trading market in the dungeon, otherwise you can upgrade the three class nests to glory.

Shaking his head, he didn't think much about it.

After giving all the troops to the sand, let the newly recruited troops immediately garrison the city wall.

Richard rubbed his temples tiredly, he had to rest for a while, and he couldn't sleep for a few days, which made his state slip badly.

After instructing the army to guard it tightly, he returned to his room and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but a sharp knock on the door woke him up.

Richard sat up and waved his hand to open the door with a wave of the sand piled up in the corner.

Karui's figure appeared in front of him.

"Lord Richard, we found a special merchant outside......"

Richard raised his eyebrows and quickly came to his senses.

"Merchant?"

This is a copy, where did the merchant come from?

Isn't it a player who came here to pretend to be compared?

Karui nodded solemnly.

"That's right, he said he was a space merchant from the Other......"

"Its strength is terrifying, and Ms. Sheena is confronting the other party, and Lord Gray asked me to report to you immediately."

Richard frowned and got out of bed.

Space Merchant?

What's the matter?

Sheena is so vigilant?

While thinking about it, the maid outside the house entered the house with hot water and toiletries.

After a simple wash, he immediately went out with Kalu.

Not far from the City of Twilight, in the half-destroyed agricultural area, he met the so-called space merchant.

The other party was wearing a long black cloak, and a pair of silver eyes were half-hidden under the cloak.

The tip of the nose is slightly protruding.

The momentum carries an indescribable mystery.

Even where the other party was, the surrounding space was a little darker.

It gives people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Hina stood not far away with a long sword in her hand, her face solemn to the extreme.

In the sky, Jarvis soared in the sky with dozens of skeletal blood dragons, the scarlet energy in his throat condensing, ready to attack at any time.

Gray and Gaunt are on the lookout from afar with the Dead's Axe, and in the event of an accident, they will be the first to do so.

The sudden appearance of this space merchant made the army of the city of Dusk feel a great threat.

Highest alert.

It wasn't until Richard's arrival that the tension eased slightly.

Seeing this, Richard opened the merchant's properties panel.

After glancing at it, his face suddenly became solemn.

Black-robed merchant

Level: 20 (Extraordinary)

Relationship: Friendly

？？？

？？？

Description: You may be able to buy some special items from him.

Level 20?!

Where did this boss come from?

Richard was shocked.

Take a few deep breaths and force down the inner season.

Waved.

"Put away your weapons, this strange friend is not our enemy."

The two words of friendship in the relationship between the other party can not be faked.

And if this level 20 transcendent wanted to do it, he wouldn't have waited until now......

These words eased the atmosphere a little more.

The black-robed merchant hidden in the cloak heard this and slowly glanced up at him.

The other party's silver eyes hidden under the cloak are unforgettable.

"Strange lord, I am a merchant from another world, you can use your points to buy treasures from me."

The other party's voice was a little hoarse, using the lingua franca of "Glorious Era".

Integral?

Richard caught the keyword.

Could this black-robed merchant be an NPC specially arranged by the system to exchange points?

Immediately came interest.

"Your Excellency, can you show me the treasure you have?"

The black-robed merchant nodded slowly.

The right hand stretched out, and a dark energy rose up, condensing five black boxes in mid-air.

"This is the best treasure for your territory."

"The lowest price is 3 million points."

"You can only buy two at a time."

Richard's eyes froze.

Minimum selling price...... 3,000,000 points?!!

Looking at the inconspicuous 5 boxes floating in the air, my heart fluctuated.

What level of treasure do you need to be worth 3 million points?!
