However, afterwards, the brood passed on all the harvest from Zonghu to Richard. After inspecting it, Richard saw that the brood had relied on a large amount of analysis of the blood of the gods, and his understanding of the nature of life had been deepened. With the same amount of resources consumed, the effective health of the created combat unit is increased by half.

In addition, using stored blood of the gods as raw materials, the brood can produce a large number of half-blood gods. This is a life form similar to Zonghu, but it is not as powerful as Zonghu, only sixteen levels of combat power, and only knows killing and eating, and has no other consciousness. This Half-Blood Evil is currently the most powerful combat unit that the Brood can create, and their number depends entirely on the amount of Evil Blood, which can be created on a large scale through the Hive. Every time Zonghu was drawn blood, he could create three half-blood gods.

As long as the hive is large enough, the half-blood god can hatch and give birth to hundreds at a time, and a batch can be hatched every ten minutes. Although the life of the half-blood god is only a short ten hours, it is enough. The brood reserves enough blood to make 4,500 half-blood gods! This is an extremely terrifying army, which can instantly drown the invading enemy in the **sea of sixteenth-level combat units at a critical moment!

This information surprised Richard extremely much, and he didn't expect that Zonghu would have such a huge effect. However, judging from the amount of divine blood stored in the brood, Zonghu had been emptied of blood at least 1,500 times! No wonder he had become so humble and flattering and wanted to get to Richard's side. Zonghu didn't want to follow Richard, but just wanted to get rid of the brood.

Richard swept their directions, the two soul nodes of Zonghu and the brood almost overlapped, and it seemed that there was nothing good about it, no wonder it was so gaffe.

The half-blood god is indeed very important, but Zong Hu has been working for Richard wholeheartedly for this period of time, and Richard also has to consider his feelings. After reviewing the information transmitted by the brood several times, Richard asked the brood, "How important is Zonghu in your promotion process?"

The brood replied seriously: "It can affect my success probability of promotion, and in addition, it may also affect the real name that appears." ”

In fact, this is tantamount to saying that Zonghu is indispensable. Richard hesitated for a moment, then said, "Since this is the case, then let Zonghu 'assist' you for a while until the promotion is completed." However, you also have to be careful not to toss him too hard. ”

There was a feeling of pleasure from the brood, and she said, "Master, Zonghu is a god and cannot be treated as a normal person. The more ruthless he cleans up, the more well-behaved he will be. ”

Zong Hu interjected again and shouted: "I am not a god, I am a human! my soul is still a human, but I have the blood of a god in my body, which is very thin!"

The mother's nest quieted down Zonghu with a word: "Since it is very thin, then we have to put a few more rounds of blood." ”

Richard checked the information of the brood again, and after such a long time, all the conditions for advancing to the tenth rank had been met, and the divinity even overflowed a little. It was during Richard's absence in Faro that the followers made heavy progress on the ancestral heights, defeating the barbarian coalition and capturing two important temples. The items containing divinity in the temple were naturally transported to the brood for the first time.

Now that the brood has evolved to a considerable extent, the description of the functions of each part of the body alone is hundreds of thousands of words, and if we count the various abilities, various possible evolutionary and improvement directions, then this number needs to be doubled. If he were to adjust the ranks one by one, Richard would find himself with nearly a thousand choices to make, ranging from the nature and frequency of the brood's breath to the material of the hind paws!

The brood now has a terrifyingly large brain hidden in the chest cavity of its body, and its computing efficiency is not much worse than that of Richard, who has a seventh-order intelligence. When it comes to its own advancement, it has long used a lot of time and computing resources, and has divided the promotion direction of the tenth order into three major directions: matrix survival, creation of Zào combat units, and matrix diversification. Three different levels of reinforcement are set in each direction.

For example, if the survivability of the parent body is fully enhanced, then there will be no change in the ability of the Zào combat unit. And if you choose the weakest plan, then the brood will still have a certain amount of resources left to create a Zào combat unit, or develop more abilities to strengthen. So if Richard doesn't want to bother, then skip the details and just choose from nine options.

Richard groaned for a moment, originally wanting to strengthen the ability of the brood to create zào combat units again, which is the core and greatest value of the brood in the plane war. But just as he was about to make a decision, Richard's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered the mark of doom.

The presence of the mark of doom means that sooner or later the Reaper will appear on this plane. To date, no one has been able to say exactly what the Reaper is. The doomsday mark and the reaper who destroyed the qiē are just things that live in legends, and the records of the qiē are either vague as if telling a story, or they come from prophetic magic.

Richard, the doomsday mark obtained from Faro, couldn't study it, so he was taken to the Eternal Dragon Hall by quicksand, and so far there has been no result. However, Richard had a vague instinct that the thing he got was probably the real mark of doom.

After groaning, Richard resolutely chose to maximize the survivability of the brood itself.

This choice also surprised the mother nest, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, this is not necessary, right? ”

"I need you not to be afraid of even the legendary powerhouse. Richard said.

"I'm not scared anymore. The Half-Blood Evil is fast and can fly. If it's just a legend, you can drag him to death. "The brood is honest.

"Then I need you to fight against a bunch of legends!"

"Where are the legends in this place?" the brood wondered.

Richard refused to explain further, and his intuition about the mark of doom came entirely from the magician's sixth sense, which could not be explained in words and logic. He got the thing that day, and then quicksand blurted out the term doomsday mark, and that intuition suddenly imprinted into his consciousness. And then, every time he thought about it, Richard had another instinct that if the things that appeared in the Doom Mark spread, it would come true in a very short time.

This is one of the most incredible phenomena in prophetic magic, and it comes true.

The brood was silent for a moment, and suddenly suddenly said: "Master, are we going to start a divine war?"

Richard nodded and said, "Almost!"

The brood quickly calculated and said, "If you are in the battle of the gods, the preparation is still a little insufficient. But it is possible to start the prologue in advance. ”

"Then get ready for the beginning. But wait until you advance. ”

"Yes, master. ”

Richard suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I brought you some samples of powerful lifeforms, you can send a distraction over and bring them back later." ”

"Thank you, master!" said the brood with joy.

By this time, the Constructed Knights had already passed through the dimensional portal, and hundreds of Archmond Foot Knights who had proved their loyalty had also begun to teleport one after another. Each Construct Knight and Foot Knight carried a large amount of supplies for supplies.

Richard took a sealed box with a volcano marker painted on it and walked into the back of the command castle. It was a living area dedicated to him.

After several years of development, Bluewater Oasis City has become a huge city with a registered permanent population of more than 200,000. In addition, caravans and displaced people who are looking for opportunities are pouring in every day, and these migrants are more than the permanent population with status.

The Blue Water Oasis has been completely expanded, and the huge Oasis Lake has been completely enclosed, and caravans or wanderers are no longer allowed to approach at will. The central area of the city is constantly being renovated and expanded. A lively neighborhood may become another more prosperous in half a year.

The area where the Lighthouse of Time is located is no longer on the edge of the city, but into the heart. With the Lighthouse of Time as the center, Gangde carved out a huge area and reconstructed a city within a city, and used it as the Crimson Grand Duke, that is, Richard's castle. The castle is fully equipped and is manned by warriors brought from Norland and brood combat units.

Outside the castle, the central area of Oasis City is also growing rapidly. With an abundant supply of water, and hordes of low-level mages rushing to smell the smell of gold coins, the environment in this core area changes almost daily.

There are wide, clean streets, tall street trees and manicured lawns along the roadside, and a variety of exquisite and ornate buildings, each surrounded by well-tended gardens.

On the streets, several heavily armed knights can be seen at any time, slowly passing in a column, which is a regular patrol. These knights were all young infantry knights under Richard, and they were all handsome and tall, and they looked very bright. Their job is to patrol the affluent Borough of Manhattan.

Although the level of these knights is only about level ten, they can use level ten knights as patrol cavalry, and such a large amount of money is not common in areas where nobles gather in the royal capitals of several empires. More important to these knights is their identity, they are the direct knights of the mysterious Crimson Grand Duke Richard, and attacking them is tantamount to declaring war on the Grand Duke.

They put this place in the patrol area, which shows an attitude. As a result, the maintenance costs of these patrol riders are actually paid for by the residents of Manhattan.

Now the one who actually runs the city behind it is the mysterious General Anlekala, aka Raymond. Managing a mega city is extremely complicated, especially after the reconstruction of the Blue Water Oasis after Richard took control, it is equivalent to building a new city, and there are no old rules to follow at all, from the city's external defense and internal security, to the cleaning of the streets and the shelter of beggars, all the systems must be established one by one. Gangde is not competent, but the Solomon Fort Scholar Mage, who is known for his learning, is very suitable.

Raymond first negotiated the city's construction plan for the next fifty years with the Chamber of Commerce and the Temple of the Blue Water Oasis, determined the direction of expansion and the boundaries of the territory, as well as the reservations of the major powers, and drew a magic map to hang in the small conference room on the second floor of the city hall, which was regarded as fixing this covenant.

Then he began to build it with great fanfare, and he carved out Manhattan on Richard's land, leaving a lot of room for future expansion. Next, the auction of land in the area began, and at the same time, a huge amount of money was paid in advance to renovate the environment of the entire urban area.
