Richard witnessed the outbreak of war between the player and the orc natives and won the war.

In addition to the excitement in my heart, I also felt a little pressure.

More than 500,000 players participated in this battle, and the exaggerated data of nearly 100 million troops and tens of thousands of legions mobilized made his heart fluctuate.

The power of the city of dusk is already far ahead of any of the top players.

Not to mention the two transcendents in hand, almost invincible.

But what if things change and players join forces?

A hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, even a hundred thousand million...... Can the city of twilight still be able to resist it?

This question made him think deeply.

After thinking about it for a long time, Richard finally smiled.

There were really nearly 10,000 legions attacking, with more than 100 million troops...... He still has the land of eternity.

As long as the door of space is closed, no one can help him.

But at that point, it must be a dead end.

After taking a deep breath, my gaze gradually returned to firmness.

Since he is not interested in forming or joining any forces, let the City of Twilight have the power to crush all forces.

He alone is the desert camp, and there are many enemies...... So what!

The eyes are arrogant.

It took a long time to regain his mind.

The strategy is ambitious, and the feet must also be steady.

In the city of twilight, it is still necessary to continue farming and development.

And the tentacles of the Lord of Corruption will extend to the City of Dusk in a month and a half, in early March.

In the sky outside the city, the rift is expanding every day in the space that has been temporarily closed by the dwarf god.

The sword of Damocles hanging overhead...... It's getting more and more pressing.

He needed to hurry up and get stronger, and cut off the dagger against his throat.

The passage of time does not shift by anyone's will.

On January 20th, it has been 4 days since the Battle of the Players and Emilyda took control of the Lion Grand Duke's territory.

In the past few days, the player has entered a state of excitement, and the intensity of plane exploration has become more and more exaggerated, and the losses are not small, but the gains are also rich.

According to the statistics of people with hearts, the overall strength of players is increasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

Players are active in the Plane Exploration chapter, and the City of Dusk's strategy for El's position has not stopped.

After the two princesses of the El royal family had Emilyida, an extraordinary boss, as a support, they used the team of the Grand Duke of Lion to raise an army of more than 5 legions.

Although there are less than two legions of true elites, they are much stronger than they were at the beginning.

The fall of the Duke of Lion was not concealed for too long and was publicized.

The move caused an immediate uproar.

Many forces began to become agitated, and even some big nobles have secretly sent letters to express their support and allegiance to the two princesses.

The fall of the royal family of El is still short, there are many people who are greedy for power but there are not many loyal people, and the cold-blooded rebellion of the Grand Duke of Angry Blood has also made many people dissatisfied.

Seeing that they couldn't hide it, the two princesses simply raised the banner of the royal family of El and called on everyone to fight against the despicable and brutal betrayer, the Grand Duke of Angry Blood.

With a clear banner in hand, the El plane began to stir up.

In the midst of the fluctuation of people's hearts, the Angry Blood Grand Duke began to dispatch troops from various provinces to encircle and suppress the territory of the Grand Duke of Lion from all directions.

This betrayer of the Kingdom of El intends to annihilate the last resistance of the royal family in one fell swoop.

In the eyes of the discerning person, the situation is so developed in large part due to the deliberate connivance of this betrayer.

The current ruler of the Kingdom of El wants to eradicate the last hope of the royal family of El in front of everyone.

Use blood to establish your own prestige.

As long as this battle can be won, then the entire kingdom of El will be completely controlled by him.

On January 22nd, when the El plane was in turmoil and the war that could determine the fate of the entire plane was brewing and fermenting, Richard, who was finally able to get rid of the trivial affairs, planned to leave for the El plane to take charge of the overall situation.

But just a minute before leaving the lord's mansion, he got good news.

"Ding~ After the blacksmith's research day and night, the attack technology of the stone statue of the dead has been upgraded to a special level, and a new characteristic has been obtained-Broken Mountain."

"Note: Each Stone of the Dead can consume 500 units of gems to improve technology in the Blacksmith Shop, and newly recruited Stone of the Dead can directly obtain this attack trait."

"Broken Mountain (Special) concentrates all its power on the battle axe and bursts out, delivering a fatal blow to a single target, and against enemies with lower potential or level than itself, it will always trigger the instantaneous trait - Soul Execution; Deals triple damage to enemies with higher potential or level than you, and deals 40% Piercing Damage. ”

In order to improve the progress of scientific research and development, Richard ordered Adele, who presided over the Forge Guild in the underworld, to collect excellent blacksmiths and send them back to the city of Dusk.

At the beginning of the month, the 20 chosen blacksmiths were brought back to the City of Dusk by Adele to assist Sam, a one-armed blacksmith, in his research.

After more than half a month, with their joint efforts, the attack technology of the Stone Statue of the Dead has finally been raised to a leapfrog height.

Richard looked at the new feature of the Stone Statue of the Dead, and the smile on his face was extraordinarily bright.

Every harvest made him feel that the previous investment was not in vain.

This is true for the creation of an environment for the sharing of forging technology in the underworld, as well as the investment in scientific and technological research and development.

With the characteristics attached to the special technology, the stone statue of the dead, the trump card of the city of twilight, is really moving forward on the road of metamorphosis at this moment.

Broken Mountain is a powerful single attack skill.

Looking down, this skill can execute units with lower potential and level than yourself, and up there, it can greatly make up for your lack of damage to the enemy's top units.

If it is used to surround the boss, it can immediately explode with huge lethality, and you don't have to worry about breaking the defense.

The upper limit of its combat power soared again.

The only thing that makes him helpless is ...... Each Deceased Statue requires 500 gems to be promoted.

This time and again, it will consume five or six hundred thousand units.

Richard could only shake his head and sigh at this, the development of the territory will consume huge resources in any aspect.

However, the resource is definitely well spent.

After retracting his mind, he opened the technology panel of the Dusk City and took a look.

Axe of the Dead: Primary Attack Technology

Bandage Muno Yin: Intermediate attack technology

Stone of the Dead: Advanced attack technology

Scorpion Warrior: Master Attack Technology

Richard sighed in his heart.

For most of the year, he has only researched the technology of four classes - and the bandage Mu Mu Yin and the stone statue of the dead, for various reasons, are no longer useful.

Now all you can use is the technology of the Stone Statue of the Dead and the Scorpion Warrior.

It's too slow......

Somewhat distressed.

This kind of thing is the one that takes the most time to precipitate.

But the current situation has forced him to tense up, and he must do everything he can to speed up the improvement in this regard.

Time waits for no one, and the enemies of the City of Dusk won't give him so much room to develop.

After thinking for a moment, he was about to summon Sam and the blacksmith to explain the next research and development task, when the system prompt sounded again.

"Ding~ The number of R&D heroes in the blacksmith shop exceeds twenty, and the cooperative research has successfully developed a special technology, and the blacksmith shop can start the team research and development mode."

"Team R&D mode: It requires at least 10 relevant professional heroes to be activated, after opening, the R&D speed will be increased by 20%, the R&D success rate will be increased by 20%, and the R&D speed and R&D success rate will be increased by 2% for each additional person, with an upper limit of 50%."

"Note: In the team research mode, the resources consumed cannot be saved by the characteristics of a single hero, and must be paid in full."

"Note 2: Increasing resource input will appropriately speed up the research."

Richard was pleasantly surprised after reading the sudden prompt a few times.

I didn't expect that there were more people engaged in scientific research, and such a practical feature could be activated.

That's a bit of a trick.

For scientific and technological research, this is a golden feature.

Thinking about it, I opened the class and looked at it as a whole.

For now, the first thing to study is the King of the Forbidden Army of the 3rd Star of the Bright Moon, plus the synthetic class - Sandstorm Master.

These two powerful classes are still in the void in attack technology.

Sandstorm Master, as a spellcaster class, requires a mage tower to study technology, and the blacksmith does not have this ability, so it can be put on hold.

But Huiyue 3 Star, the king of the forbidden army with a nascent level of 17, is the pillar in his hands.

Especially after the black gold system can directly synthesize the lair of the king of the forbidden army, the strategic value of this powerful class has skyrocketed.

In the absence of resources and promotion potential, attack technology is undoubtedly the fastest and least costly to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Thinking of this, he took another look at the technology of the stone statue of the dead, and tried to put it in the blacksmith shop for research.

But in the next second, it immediately broke his careful thinking.

"Ding~ The current level of the city of twilight - a third-level mid-city, the upper limit of the level of technology can be studied: special, please upgrade to the big city and then study this technology."

Above the special level is the master level, and the middle city of the third level does not have the authority to develop it.

Richard shook his head and glanced at the scorpion warrior's master-level technology with some emotion.

This technology was originally an exception for a variety of reasons.

If this technology is put on the king of the forbidden army, it will be developed.

After coming to his senses, he asked the guards to summon Adele and Sam to the lord's mansion.

Shortly after the soldier left, a sound of footsteps came from outside.

Dirty, with panda-eyed Adele and Sam with only one arm, stepped into the house.

When he saw Richard, he immediately saluted.

"Good day, Lord Richard......"

Richard looked at Adele with some amusement when he entered the room, and he was embarrassed to let him look at it.

This girl, with such a high appearance, has all been delayed by scientific research.

His eyes looked at the one-armed blacksmith in his excitement.

"Sam, you've made new progress in the study of the Stone Statue of the Dead?"

Sam immediately perked.

"That's right, sir."

"Thanks to the Dungeon Blacksmiths brought by Lord Adele from the Underworld, we are making an additional enhancement to the body of the Stone Statue of the Dead, which is smelted with rare resources and then ......."

Sam continued to talk for seven or eight minutes before he stopped.

Richard couldn't help but wonder, these people who are engaged in scientific research seem to be like chicken blood when they talk about their fields, and they are extremely excited.

After praising the other party a few times, he said softly.

"Group research is undoubtedly a good way to greatly speed up the progress of research...... You guys did a great job. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the girl beside him.

"Adele, you continue to go to Bloodhoof City to find a blacksmith for us, even if it is a little lower, you can study the primary attack technology of the class first."

"The situation is precarious right now, and we need a stronger army to defend the city of Dusk."

Although the cost of all aspects is increasing, the speed at which Dusk City earns resources is not the same.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

It's not a problem to support the scientific research expenses of several classes at the same time.

Adele perked up.

"Yes, sir!

”

"After the Forge Guild was functioning normally, it successfully attracted a large number of dungeon lifeforms to come and learn, and many talents emerged during this time...... Totally enough for us to use. ”

Richard nodded in satisfaction.

The Forge Guild of Bloodhoof was established to promote the improvement of Underworld forging technology in order to provide greater benefits to Dusk.

Under the auspices of Andrea, blacksmiths of a large number of races share their secret techniques and techniques here.

With the help of mutual learning, these blacksmiths have improved at a considerable rate.

It is also a proper move to gather a group of talents.

As for whether those people will agree to come to the City of Dusk...... The City of Twilight is not about terms with them, it's a conscription, it's an order!

Don't want to? Sorry, this option is not available.

As the true master of the underworld, Richard's orders are the only rule.

"When you go down, bring those seedlings up at once, and later I will build two more blacksmith shops for them to study."

Richard felt a little pity after speaking.

The troops in the city of Dusk are all recruited from the lair of the troops, and most of them bring their own weapons.

The blacksmith's current role is in scientific research, rather than conventional weapon forging.

A large part of the troops of the lords of the human orcs are recruited from the inhabitants, and after training in the barracks, they can become soldiers, and at this time, they will use the blacksmith shop to forge weapons for the army.

The City of Twilight doesn't follow the same path as most people.

Of course, this is also deliberately done by Richard, and the advantage of this is that it can greatly reduce the consumption of logistics, so that his resources can be invested in other aspects.

Relatively speaking, the disadvantages are negligible.

Just as a few people were discussing the next scientific research plan, suddenly there was a noisy sound outside.

Richard subconsciously turned his head to look, but his vision was obstructed and he couldn't see the specific situation outside.

In confusion, a mummy Yin guardian stepped into the house.

"Master, Lord Gaunt is back."

Gaunt is back?

Richard's eyes were slightly condensed.

In the past few days, the turmoil in the El plane has gradually risen, and the angry blood justice is mobilizing the army to plan to completely wipe out the royal family of El.

At this juncture, why did Gaunt, who is an important member, suddenly run back?

Didn't the other party send back news before, and it will take at least half a month for the two sides to enter the real war stage? Has the situation changed?

As he pondered, a figure appeared at the door, wrapped in a blood-colored bandage, holding a dark orb in his hand.

A-Class Mummy Yin Hero - Gaunt, a blood lich.

As the other party entered the room, Richard immediately felt that this mummy Yin hero had become a little different.

The blood-colored bandage wrapped around Gaunt's shriveled body seemed to be alive at the moment, constantly flowing on his body, demonic and terrifying.

The momentum on his body gives people a strong sense of oppression, like a miniature version of a dragon.

With a little curiosity, he opened the other party's attribute panel, and after taking a look, he was quite surprised.

Gaunt

Hero units

Level: 18......

When the other party went to the El plane, it was only level 14, and he hadn't seen it for more than half a month, but he had already been promoted to level 18!

That's an exaggeration.

"Gaunt, what happened to you on the El plane? Why did you increase your level so quickly? ”

Hearing Richard's tone of surprise, Gaunt saluted and said excitedly.

"Master, we have found the treasure trove of the Grand Duke of Lion!"

"In order to break through to transcendence, the Grand Duke of the Lion used an extremely evil sacrificial method to forge a pool of blood."

"The energy inside has been accumulating for more than a decade."

"Coincidentally, I was born out of blood, and that pool of blood is a perfect match for my strength."

"I've benefited from it and I've been given a huge boost."

Richard was in a good mood.

I've been watching the player post his gains from exploring the plane for the past few days, and now it's finally his turn.

Potential A-level, level 18 spellcaster heroes already have strategic value.

When used well, it can make or break the outcome of a battle, but Gaunt has the large-scale strategic magic of corpse blasting.

Gray was originally promoted from the Cursed Pharaoh class to an A-rank hero, and Gaunt was promoted from the Bandage Mu Mu Yin, although the two heroes are now not the top in the city of dusk, which is full of talents.

But in the early days of the City of Dusk, he made countless contributions.

Now Gaunt can catch up with the main force, which makes him quite happy.

After praising the other party a few words, he couldn't help but be curious.

"Didn't the army rummage through the territory of the Grand Duke of Lion before? How did you find that treasure trove now? ”

The progress of the exploration of the El plane will be reported on time every day.

There are major matters that are reported every few hours, and he has not received any news about the treasure house before, obviously the treasure house has only just been discovered.

Speaking of this, Richard's face was a little unkind, and when he copied the house of the Grand Duke of Lion, he obtained less than 200 million units of ordinary resources, and less than 500,000 units of rare resources.

This may seem like a lot of resources, but this is the domain of a Grand Duke, and the other party rules hundreds of thousands of inhabitants.

He didn't let the army bring back this pitiful amount, and handed it over to the two princesses of El to deal with - it consumes a lot of resources to feed the army.

So far, I haven't gained too many resources from the El plane.

Gaunt replied in a deep voice.

"Master, this is because a few hours ago, we caught the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Lion who had secretly sneaked back to the territory to plot against the army."

"The other party couldn't stand the torture, and confessed the treasure house that the Grand Duke of Lion had specially hidden in order to prevent accidents."

He spoke in a high-pitched tone.

"Not only did I get a huge benefit from it, but we also found a huge amount of rare resources from the treasure trove...... The Grand Duke of the Lion placed a large amount of the family's savings in that treasure trove. ”

"After deliberation, we have decided to transport these resources back from the El plane first."

This made Richard very interested.

Good guys, after these few months, do you finally have meat to eat?

"How many resources have been seized this time?"

Gaunt said in an uplifted tone.

"The rare resource is expected to exceed 6 million units, in addition, there are three special architectural drawings of the rarity class......"

"We've also found 10 crown-level class nests inside."

6,000,000 rare resources??

Three rare architectural drawings? 10 Crown Class Lairs?

Richard listened with emotion.

This is the right way to open the Plane of Exploration!

The so-called rich fortunes of those players on the forum are simply not worth mentioning.

The accumulation of a grand duke is rich enough.

With this resource, he can upgrade all the glorious class nests in his hands to the crown level!

In the ups and downs of his mood, he immediately thought further, a lion grand duke can hide so much wealth, so how much should the entire El Kingdom have?

What kind of rich family does that transcendent-level Fury Blood Grand Duke have?

The plane of Elle has directly become a delicious cake with sweet honey and cream in his heart.

If you don't eat all of the El plane in this wave, I'm sorry for this opportunity.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gaunt paused for a moment and said with some hesitation.

"Master, when we captured the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Lion, we also found traces of the Charismatic Lord beside him......"

"After the interrogation, on the side of the Grand Duke of Angry Blood, there are quite a few Divine Grace Lords who are active, and those Divine Grace Lords seem to have accepted the task of attacking the Royal Family of El......"

"Next, we will definitely clash with those Charismatic Lords!"

Are there other players snooping on the El plane?

Richard was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his mouth were raised high.

With this wave of gains, the El plane has become his personal domain.

These guys want to take food in front of the city of twilight?

Is...... Courage.
