890 Chapter 517: Six Million Rare Resources, A Wave of Harvest From Ell Kingdom [3/3]
“Yes, my Lord! The Blacksmith Association continues to operate. It had attracted a myriad of dungeon life forms to come and learn. A multitude had emerged. Their talents have been generously useful to us.”
Richard nodded with satisfaction.
He praised the young lady.
He helped establish the Blacksmith Association of Bloodhoof City to promote the advancement of forging techniques in the underworld.
They benefited generously from the blacksmiths of various races sharing their secret forging techniques.
Richard realized that recruiting a group of talents was a strategic move.
It wasn’t a negotiation whether those people would agree to come to Twilight City or not. The recruitment was an order. Sadly, there was no option.
Richard’s orders were the only rules as the true ruler of the underworld.
“Immediately bring those recruits up. Later, I will build two more blacksmith shops for their research.”
Richard felt that it was a pity that the soldiers of Twilight City were all recruited from the lair of the soldiers, and they all brought their weapons.
He mainly established the blacksmith shop for scientific research use.
It was considerably useless to forge weapons for the troop, which was what most players did.
They recruited a myriad of the territories of the lords from the residents. They could become soldiers following a series of training in barracks. At this time, they would have to use the blacksmith shop to forge weapons for the troop.
Twilight City didn’t follow what most people did.
Of course, Richard had done this on purpose. The benefit of doing so was that it would enormously reduce the consumption of logistics. That could allow him to invest his resources in other areas.
The disadvantages were relatively negligible.
A sudden commotion happened unexpectedly.
Richard subconsciously turned his head to look. But something must have blocked his vision so he couldn’t see the uproar.
A guardian mummy stepped into the room just as he was about to ask the guards to check on the situation.
“Lord, Gunter is back.”
“Gunter is back?”
Richard raised an eyebrow.
‘These days, the Ell Plane was in turmoil. The Raging Blood Duke planned to completely wipe out the last forces of the royal family of Ell. Why would Gunter suddenly return during this critical moment?
‘Wasn’t it rumored still half a month remained before they could enter the battle stage? The situation changed again?’
Just as he was puzzled, sparse footsteps approached quickly. A mummy wrapped in blood-colored bandages appeared at the door after a few breaths. It held a dark magic ball in his hand.
A break through reinforced the mummy hero, A-rank, Gunter from the bandaged mummy.
Richard immediately felt that Gunter had changed as soon as it entered the room. The bandages around Gunter seemed to come alive and flowed over its body.
The aura on its body gave off a strong sense of oppression.
He curiously opened its attribute panel. The content quite startled Richard after a glance.
[Gunter]
[Hero Unit]
[Level: 18…]
Gunter was only level 14 when Richard left. He had already reached level 18 after half a month.
“Gunter, what happened to you in Ell? Why did you level up so quickly?”
Gunter saluted and said excitedly, “Lord, we obtained the vault of the Lion Duke. They set a blood pool forged by an evil sacrifice to break through and become transcendent.
“The Lion Duke accumulated that power for more than ten years. That blood pool is considerably compatible with my power. I have received a vast improvement because of it.”
Richard looked at the mummy hero with admiration.
That also promoted Gray from a cursed pharaoh to an A-rank hero, while Gunter from bandaged mummy. Several talented people considered them top-notch, although not in Twilight City.
However, they made countless contributions during the early days of Twilight City.
The transformation enormously pleased Richard now that he could catch up to the main force.
Richard praised Gunter a few more times. He asked curiously, “Have you searched through the territory of the Lion Duke? How have you seized the treasure vault?”
Richard’s tone sounded subtly unfriendly.
The Lion Duke had obtained less than 200 million ordinary and less than 500,000 units of rare resources. This amount of resources seemed decent, but this was the territory of the Lion Duke with hundreds of thousands of residents.
That was pitifully little compared to the amount. Richard hadn’t ordered the troop to transport them back. They should be handed over to the two princesses of Ell to deal with.
Raising a troop would require a lot of resources.
They would incessantly report the progress of the exploration of Ell Plane.
They would report every few hours if there were important matters. They hadn’t relayed any news about the treasure vault before. It was evident they had just recently discovered it.
Gunter replied.
“We captured the eldest son of Lion Duke while he secretly returned to the territory and wanted to instigate a rebellion. He couldn’t withstand the torture, so he gave up the Lion Duke’s treasure vault as ransom.”
Its tone sounded sparingly rigorous as it spoke.
“Lord, not only did I obtain immense benefits from it, but we also found a vast amount of rare resources in the treasure vault… The Lion Duke had placed much of his family’s savings in that treasure vault.”
“So, we will first transport these resources back from Ell.”
That immediately piqued Richard’s interest.
“How many resources did you get this time?”
Gunter said excitedly, “Lord, the estimated amount of rare resources is six million units. In addition, there are three rare special building blueprints…”
“We also discovered ten crown-level troop lairs inside.”
“Six… Six million rare resources?!
“Rare building blueprints? Crown troop lairs?”
Richard felt a wave of excitement.
‘Damn it, was this the correct way to explore a plane?’
With this resource, he could upgrade all the glorious troop lairs in his hands to crown level!
He was about to speak when Gunter’s tone suddenly echoed gravely.
“Lord, when we captured the eldest son of the Lion Duke, we found a Grace Mainland Lord beside him…
“After the interrogation, a copious Grace Mainland Lords sided with the Raging Blood Duke. They seem to have accepted the mission to attack the Ell royal family! We’re going to have a conflict with these Grace Mainland Lords.”
Richard frowned.
‘Players… They also spied on the Ell Plane.’
He recalled the epic battle of the century between the players and the natives of the Orc Empire.
