Chapter 452: Immense Wealth
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although expenses in various sectors were increasing, the speed at which the territory earned resources was outstanding.
Supporting the research expenses of several sectors was not a problem for Su Wan.
The Blacksmiths Association was running smoothly, and it attracted many talented people who came to learn.
The function of the Blacksmith Association in the Dark Region City was to promote forging techniques in the underground world, thus providing greater benefits for the territory.
Under Eliza’s leadership, blacksmiths from various races gathered there to share their secrets and techniques. Mutual learning greatly accelerated the progress of these blacksmiths in the smithy. It was a necessary step to recruit talented individuals.
As for whether these talents would agree to come to Su Wan’s territory, it was mandatory. Nobody dared refuse Eliza’s command!
The units in the territory were gradually equipped with better weapons. The smithy played a major role in research.
When a few people were discussing the next research phase, there was a commotion outside.
‘Didn’t they receive the news that it would take at least half a month for the troops to enter the actual combat phase?’ thought Su Wan.
A figure appeared at the door of the Dark Castle, wrapped in blood-stained bandages and holding a dark magic sphere.
He was an A-class hero. The Blood Necromancer, Andy.
As he entered the room, Su Wan sensed that the hero was different from before.
The blood-stained bandages wrapped around Andy’s withered body seemed to have come alive. They constantly flowed around even in the absence of any wind and emitted a terrifying aura.
Su Wan was curious, so she checked his attribute panel.
[Andy]
[A-class Hero]
[Level 68]
When he had gone to the Tasiria Plane, he was only at Level 64. In fifteen days, he had advanced to Level 68!
Su Wan was surprised. “Andy, what did you encounter in the Tasiria Plane? How did you level up so fast?”
“We discovered the Duke of Lion’s treasure trove!” said Andy as he bowed respectfully in front of Su Wan. “The duke seemed to have used evil sacrificial methods to create a blood pool. The energy was accumulated for over ten years!”
Coincidentally, Andy was also a creature of the blood. The power of blood energy was highly compatible with his abilities.
He had benefited greatly and advanced fast. A Level 68 hero was valuable!
If used properly, the hero could turn the tide of a battle. Andy had a large-scale strategic spell like Corpse Explosion.
Gray had been promoted from the Cursed Pharaoh to an A-class hero, while Andy had been promoted directly to such a level. Although these two heroes were no longer considered top-tier in the territory, they were still significantly strong.
Now, Andy had the potential to catch up to the other main heroes of the territory. This pleased Su Wan.
“Didn’t the army already search the Duke of Lion’s territory thoroughly? How did they only find the treasure trove only now?” asked Su Wan.
The progress of the exploration of the Tasiria Plane was reported on time every day.
If there were any important matters, it would have been updated after a few hours. However, Su Wan hadn’t received any news about a new treasure trove being discovered.
Su Wan was a little displeased. The ordinary resources and rare resources obtained from the Duke of Lion’s territory barely amounted to five hundred thousand units.
The number of resources seemed like a lot but considering that this was from a duke’s territory, who ruled over thousands of residents, it wasn’t really that big of a deal.
The army did not even transport such a pitiful amount back to the territory. Instead, it was handed over to the two princesses as a token of goodwill.
Thus, Su Wan had yet to harvest many resources from the Tasiria Plane.
“We caught the eldest son of the Duke of Lion only a few hours ago. He had secretly infiltrated the territory to investigate the rebellion,” said Andy. “The eldest son of the duke couldn’t withstand the torture and revealed information about the treasure trove hidden in the Duke of Lion’s territory. We also found a huge number of rare resources there. The Duke of Lion had hidden all his savings in that vault.”
After some discussion, they decided to first transport the resources back from the Tasiria Plane.
“How many resources have we obtained this time?” asked Su Wan.
“Rare resources are estimated to exceed 600 tons. In addition, there are three rare special building blueprints,” said Andy said eagerly.
They had even found a nest of soldiers inside. This was how a plane was explored! The benefits the other Lords had obtained from their expeditions to other planes couldn’t even compare to the benefits they obtained this time. With the number of resources this time, Su Wan could upgrade all her troops!
‘If a duke could have so many riches, how rich was the entire plane of Tasiria?’ thought Su Wan. ‘How rich is the legendary Archduke Blood Fury?’
Su Wan didn’t want to let go of such an opportunity without exploring the whole of Tasiria Plane.
“When we captured the eldest son of the Duke of Lion, we found some traces of a Lord beside him!” said Andy. “It seems there are quite a few Lords who are actively monitoring the plane. They seemed to have accepted the mission to attack the Tasirian Royal Family.”
‘There are other Lords spying on the Tasiria Plane?’ Su Wan was a little surprised.
The Tasiria Plane was already considered Su Wan’s domain. ‘Do the Lords want to challenge me?’
The underground world was largely regarded as a mysterious treasure trove of materials by the surface dwellers.
Gold, dungeons, and ores were abundant in the underground world. However, the underground was also associated with dangerous creatures like snakes and spiders. That was what the surface dwellers imagined when they thought of the underground world.
The residents of the underground world had equally exaggerated fantasies about the surface. Their fantasy had turned into reality a few months ago when a powerful Lord had invited them up to her territory on the surface.
That Lord had ended the conflict between the gray dwarves and the Dark Region City, too!
The Dark Demon Dragon from the surface became the true ruler of the underground world.
As Dark Region City began to conquer the entire underground world and take control of the land, everyone felt sincere respect for the human Lord from the surface.
For many residing underground, the Lord and the Dark Demon Dragon were equivalent to gods.
After the Dark Region City unified the underground world, they ordered everyone not to fight amongst each other.
This land that had been at war since its conception welcomed unprecedented peace.
The weak tribes were not harassed and oppressed by the powerful tribes. They didn’t have to constantly worry about survival.
Now, all tribes could produce weapons and sell it to the Dark Region City in exchange for food. It helped everyone!
For the first time, many starving races experienced the feeling of being fully fed.. They didn’t have to send their elders to the wilderness to die when the food was scarce!
