Chapter 589: The City of Twilight Escalates, the Great War Breaks Out, the Prelude to a New Era

While Solan City was in a frenzy because of the Magic Sound Box, Dusk City was not idle.

Because today, the conditions for upgrading the big city have finally been met.

"Ding ~ The need to upgrade the third-level mid-city to the first-level big city is: 10 million units of gold coins, timber, stone, and iron ore (satisfied); 100,000 units each of crystal, gemstone, mercury and sulfur (met); Population 50,000 (satisfied); 5 Special Technologies (Satisfied: Scorpion Warrior, Stone Statue of the Dead, King of the Praetorian Army, Sand Archer, Mu Nayin Praetorian Guard); 20 hero units (met). ”

"All conditions have been met, do you want to upgrade?"

Richard looked at the system prompt, and a long-lost excitement rose in his heart.

It's not easy!

If it weren't for the tens of thousands of people who were drawn from the El plane, I am afraid that it would take a while.

Without hesitation, I chose to confirm directly.

The next second.

A glow of yellow sand enveloped the city of dusk in an instant.

The buildings in the city began to be modified by the forces of rules that were difficult to see.

The upgrade of the big city took 20 hours, and the inhabitants of the city were temporarily sent to the Eternal Land.

The army also left their posts and guarded it all outside the city.

Richard did not go far, but stood in front of the wall to the north, silently watching this private city that belonged entirely to him.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the sun sets and the moon rises.

After a long 20 hours, the light that shrouded the city of dusk finally dissipated.

Richard was like a puppet endowed with a soul, and he immediately became refreshed.

Look closely at this nascent city.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, it is like a fierce beast crawling on the ground, giving people a strong visual impact.

The original 30-meter-high city wall has skyrocketed to more than 35 meters in height.

You can clearly feel that the thickness of the walls has increased dramatically.

"Ding~ The City of Dusk has been upgraded to a first-class city, the lord's mansion has been expanded by 100 open spaces, the territory has been expanded by 2000 open spaces, and the current open space is 2050 squares."

"Ding~ The upper limit of the territory building is released, and resources can be freely consumed to improve; The technology cap is fully unlocked, and you can freely research various technologies. ”

As the system prompt fell, Richard's mood was a little complicated.

After more than a year, the City of Dusk has finally been promoted from a weak territory to a city that people dare not ignore!

The various encounters during this period are also embarrassing when I think about it now.

After calming down, he did not hesitate and continued to consume resources to upgrade the first-level city to the second-level and third-level cities.

It wasn't until May 17 that the successive upgrades were finally completed.

"Ding~ The city of dusk has been upgraded to a second-level big city, the lord's mansion has been expanded by 200 blocks of open space, the territory has been expanded by 3,000 blocks of open space, and the current open space is 5,050 blocks."

"Ding~ The city of dusk has been upgraded to a first-class big city, the lord's mansion has been expanded by 300 blocks of open space, the territory has expanded by 5,000 blocks of open space, and the current open space is 10,050 blocks."

Richard floated into the sky after the system prompt fell, looking down from above.

The inner city, which was originally densely covered by various buildings, now has a large area of open space.

The original sense of compactness has become loose, and now it is only in the center of the city that the building is seated, and the surroundings are empty.

Fortunately, the towers were classified as fortifications and still stood behind the city walls.

Seeing this, the corners of Lee's mouth curled high.

It is conceivable that with the current construction capacity of the City of Dusk, this extra vacant land will not be filled up in a short time.

A strong sense of accomplishment rises inside.

This is entirely his territory, where he is the only master, and his will can determine the fate of all.

Authority.

It took a few deep breaths to barely calm down the ups and downs.

Open the territory's stats panel and take a look at what you'll need for your next upgrade.

"What a big city needs to upgrade a big city: 10 million units each of the four rare resources, 5 master-level technologies, a population of 200,000, and 100 heroes."

Richard shook his head and smiled wryly.

The others are not a problem, except for the master-level technology, which is too grinding.

If it weren't for the fact that a lot of resources were tilted towards science and technology in the past two months, I am afraid that the requirements of several super-grade technologies would not be so fast.

Falling back to the ground, he turned to look at Karui, who was standing with the upper echelons of the City of Dusk, who was excited at the moment.

"This upgrade has been completed, inform the residents, go back all."

"In addition, let the construction department come up with the next construction plan as quickly as possible."

"Chaos is coming, the city of dusk, it needs to have a stronger defense, I hope our city can become a city that will never fall!"

Although he still has the Eternal Land as a way out, and the Eternal City is being built, the City of Twilight is the foundation of everything, and there must be no problems.

"My lord, this is also our common wish!"

Karui's face flushed with excitement.

As one of the first residents to join the City of Twilight, he has done no less to the city than anyone else.

The anticipation in my heart is extremely strong.

"Let's go down and make arrangements."

As soon as Richard's voice fell, a few black dots flew quickly from a distance.

A moment later, several stone statues of the dead landed in front of them.

One of them fell to one knee and handed him a secret letter with both hands.

"Master, Miss Vile is in a hurry."

Richard's eyes froze, and a bad feeling rose in his heart, and he immediately reached out to take it and opened it for a quick look.

After a moment, he sighed and handed the letter to Karui, who had not yet left.

After reading it, Karui's face became a little solemn.

"The cult army is already gathering, and perhaps tomorrow will launch a final general assault on Crimson Moon......

"My lord, great changes are coming, and we need to speed up our preparations."

Richard was silent.

After a long silence, he said slowly.

"How many alchemy bombs and maws are in store for the Crucible?"

"There are a total of two million alchemy bombs, and an improved version of the giant cannon, a total of 10,000 guns."

This data was enough to make Richard's heart tremble half a year ago, but at the moment he was not satisfied.

"It's not enough, it's far from enough, this war, I don't know how far it will go, these strategic reserves can only support a few big wars, we need more!"

"In this way, we can only transfer the workers who produce the magic sound box to produce the alchemy bomb."

Karui looked a little helpless.

Although they have been preparing for this big battle for months in advance, the time is still too short.

It is difficult to produce enough materials, and the shortage of personnel alone is enough to slow down the overall production efficiency.

Alchemy weapons are not something that ordinary people can produce.

"Let Vill go and buy a batch of gray dwarves from the Solan Chamber of Commerce."

"At all costs, we must also upgrade the strategic reserves."

"This war is definitely more cruel than everyone imagined."

After waiting for Karui to respond, Richard continued.

"The construction of the arrow tower cannot be stopped."

"I need to see an arrow tower erected every 20 meters."

Karui nodded, hesitating, "In this case, we will not have enough archers. ”

"I'll solve the problem of sand archers, and I'll buy another batch of class nests for recruitment in the near future."

"In addition, the top-level heavy crossbows such as dragon hunting crossbows also need to increase productivity, how many resources are needed, and they can be directly mobilized without my consent."

Richard paused for a moment, giving Karui a brief time to digest before continuing.

"The construction of the Eternal City should also be accelerated."

"This will be our last retreat."

"If you are short of manpower, I will go to Bloodhoof City, find Ruidel, I need to see the Eternal City framework completed within a month, the kind that can be put into war!"

Karui took a deep breath.

"My lord, in this way, the resources we need will be very exaggerated."

Whether it is the production of weapons or the construction of cities, it is a bottomless pit.

How many resources are not enough to fill in.

Richard had already arranged for this, and said slowly.

"The income of Mountain City can be divided."

"This batch of resources is enough to support our consumption during this period."

Mountain City is now a well-deserved player trading center, and even a world transit center.

Although during this time, twenty or thirty new planes were opened, and his approach was replicated.

But because the main characters who opened these planes lacked appeal and most importantly, two-way portals throughout the main plane.

So the number of players it can attract is not very large.

The El plane is still the first choice for all players.

The huge flow of people brings unprecedented income.

Leasing of goods, various taxes, commissions for procedures of various commodity trading centers...... And so on and so forth, making Mountain City a well-deserved weapon for attracting money.

Although for the sake of a bigger plan, Richard spent seventy percent of his profits to bind more than 3,000 player guilds.

But even so, he can still monopolize 30%.

As the master in charge of the docking with the El Gamers Association, Karui naturally knows what a huge fortune this is.

suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"My lord, according to the settlement the day before yesterday, counting the rental income, Mountain City has already benefited from 2 billion units of rare resources on its books."

"We can get more than 600 million units!"

That's 600 million units!

Karui shuddered at the words.

Although more than half of this is due to the income from outsiders renting shops, it will certainly not be so much in the next period of time.

But no matter how you put it, this income is exaggerated enough to drive anyone crazy.

He never imagined in his life that he could use this method to earn such a terrifying fortune in such a short period of time.

"It's a pity, if these 2 billion belong to us......"

Karui let out a long sigh, full of regret.

Richard smiled.

"If we take all of them, then the output of Mountain City may not be 2 billion, maybe not even one-tenth."

If you don't bind those player guilds through interests, how can you get each other to actively participate?

Without those two-way portals that connected the main plane, even if he had great ability, he would not be able to get everyone to the El plane.

And all of this was done by those guilds.

It seems that he has paid a huge benefit, but in fact, the 30% benefit is far more than the 100% that is not divided.

What's more, more than 3,000 guilds are in the same boat as him, and the safety has been greatly guaranteed.

Soon, Richard's order to divide the spoils reached the El Players Association.

This exaggerated gain, calculated by the professional team, was divided up by everyone.

Although 1.4 billion resources are distributed among more than 3,000 guilds, each guild can receive hundreds of thousands of unit resources.

But that's a good benefit for most guilds.

The majority of their income is from the sale of their own merchandise, plus membership in the El Gamers Association gives them access to all sorts of convenient news and support.

And this income does not need to pay a big price to get, as long as the El plane is still there, as long as they are still a member of the El Players Association, this kind of income will be available every month in the future.

After Richard retrieved this exaggerated resource from the El Players Association, he did not hesitate and began to exchange it for various materials.

With the support of massive resources, alchemy bombs, siege crossbows, arrow towers, ...... Armaments of all kinds increased like a tidal wave.

The strategic reserves of the City of Twilight are rapidly accumulating.

Against this backdrop, the army sent by the gods finally launched a general attack on the Crimson Moon.

On May 19th, it was a day later than Vill had predicted.

An unprecedented epic battle broke out.

The eyes of the whole world are gathered here at this moment.

Richard didn't leave, sat silently in the lord's mansion, and opened the live broadcast section of the forum with a complicated mood.

Looking at it, the most popular live broadcast rooms in this sector are all related to this war.

Click on the hottest one casually, and the whole person immediately feels like he has traveled into it and is immersive.

The anchor in the live broadcast room is a knight sitting on a tall horse, equipped with many top-level strategic treasures.

Although it is not possible to check the attributes, Richard estimates that there are at least five strategic treasures above four stars.

This is already a luxury for players.

Look away from the other person and look into the distance.

After seeing the picture in front of me, I suddenly held my breath.

In sight, there was an endless army of heavily armored troops, who formed a terrifying torrent of steel.

As far as the eye can see, you can't see the edge even until the end of your sight.

Even if you just look at it, you can feel the impact.

In the sky, the top army belonging to the camp of kindness and orderliness is even more indispensable.

Two-headed Chimera, Royal Griffon, Four-winged Pegasus, Green Dragon, Giant Eagle...... All kinds of flying troops, which are rarely seen on weekdays, cover up the light.

Even Richard saw in it the sign of the camp of goodness and orderliness - angels!

And not one, it is the appearance of swarms.

The two-winged angel with the lowest level of the newborn is also level 20, a real transcendent class.

Those with four wings on their backs are even more terrifying...... Legendary Class.

It's hard to imagine that such a large number of top-level troops will all come together at this moment.

And their goal ...... It was the end of the sky, a cracked space.

In the rift that almost pierced the heavens and the earth, a crimson blood moon scorched brightly.

Richard brought their perspective, and inexplicably felt like he was attacking some villain's lair.

At this moment, woo woo ~ high-pitched horn sound resounded through the world.

The originally quiet army flowed like a tide and quickly converged towards the rift.

The knight anchor took a deep breath and said loudly.

"Brothers...... The decisive battle has begun! ”

"Today, only one of the old camp and our sect can survive!"

"But I believe that victory will belong to the gods!"

"Praise the light!"

"Kill!"

With a roar, the player sat down on his horse and rushed out with the army in front of him.
