Chapter 858

Losses are inevitable in war. But Richard had a few casualties. He could heighten the number of troops by a large margin after recruitment.

Glorious Troop Lairs

1. Scorpion Warrior (Lairs: 20, Weekly Production: 140, Current Quantity: 790)

2. Guardian Mummy (Lairs: 3, Weekly Production: 30, Current Quantity: 120)

3. Sand Condensation Sand Archer (Lairs: 10, Weekly Production: 50, Current Quantity: 735)

4. Sandstorm Controller (Lairs: 20, Weekly Production: 100, Current Quantity: 800)

Crown Troop Lairs

1. Stone Statue of the Dead (Lairs: 11, Weekly Production: 110, Current Quantity: 1150)

2. Guardian Mummy (Lairs: 10 nests, Weekly Production: 100, Current Quantity: 600)

3. King of the Imperial (Lairs: 13, Weekly Production: 130, Current Quantity: 260)

4. Skeleton Blood Dragon (Lairs: 0, Weekly Production: 0, Current Quantity:125)

Radiant Moon

1. King of the Imperial Army (Lairs: 3, Weekly Production: 30, Current Quantity: 180)

The total number of glorious troops was 2,445. The number of crown troops was 2,135. And with the addition of 180 soldiers from one radiant moon, the total number of soldiers in Twilight City had reached 4,760.

The sum did not include the 2,000 dark treants, 3,000 poisonous wasps, and 1,000 slaughter wasps that the god’s ancient tree had sown.

In addition, the rotten swamp also had 600 glorious blood slaughterers that he produced recently.

In total, Richard could mobilize exceeded 10,000 entire troops.

His tense mood had relaxed sparingly.

He figured out the troops he could mobilize and unhesitantly gathered the troops.

He voted for the 1,000 stone statues of the dead, 800 sandstorm controllers, 260 king mummies (crown) + 180 (radiant moon), and 125 skeletal blood dragons.

In addition, he immediately sent someone to inform Loreinna, who had just entered the vampire castle.

This time, his goal was to flatten Vermin and hunt down the remnant soul of the revived god that aggrieved Emily.

Transcendents were the most soul-tormenting methods and were indispensable.

More than two battalions of troops gathered in the sky above Twilight City afterward. Flying troops filled the sky and blocked out the light.

Richard quickened at the arrival of Loreinna, the vampire archduchess. He commanded Alves to take off and fly directly toward Vermin.

The skeleton blood dragon with a wingspan of more than 40 meters flapped its broken dragon wings and crossed the desert before 2,000 undead soldiers.

It was intensely oppressive if one looked up in the sky.

The scorching sun above their heads in the vast desert was hot.

In other regions, December and January were the coldest months. But it was still unbearably hot in the desert of death.

There was never winter or cold here, only heat and even hotter.

However, the undead soldiers did not feel the harsh living environment. They continued to fly at high speed under Alves’s lead.

The troop slowly halted half an hour later.

Loreinna looked over. On the vast desert, a lake with crystal clear waves appeared.

The lake reflected dazzling fragments of light under the illumination of the sunlight.

Richard could feel the coolness of the lake water even from far away.

“Is this Vermin?”

Richard nodded.

“The laws of this area were complete chaos before. The lake had once split into pieces like a cake. Above it was the lake water, and below it was the land.

“Emily was the guardian of this area.

“She used to be a demigod boss.”

Richard sighed and continued.

“The last time I came here was to investigate the remnant soul of the revived god.

“At that time, the god who had just recovered some of its power sensed the ancient god statue in my hand and hid in the broken divine kingdom.

“I didn’t dare to stick my head out.

“Twilight City was still very weak then, and we weren’t confident to have done anything to them.

“I had delayed this matter long enough.”

He didn’t expect the revived god to corrupt Emily and knock her unconscious.
“I could have flattened this area as soon as they came out of the tomb of the gods. If only I have predicted the danger.”

The little centaur lost her memory and became closest to him. After a few months, it was like, he raised her as a daughter.

Now, the remnant soul of the god wanted to destroy Emily’s soul and take control of her body. Richard felt the anger of an old father.

He collected his thoughts and took the ancient god statue out.

A dark light spread out and enveloped all the troops behind him.

He unhesitantly led the troop into the vast lake.

Speaking of which, it was also strange. At first, Richard thought this sourceless lake would quickly dry up, but now it still maintained its previous range.

A fly on the surface of the lake felt cool.

A robe made from a fire dragon rabbit fur can absorb heat. But it can’t compare to the natural coolness of the wind.

However, Richard wasn’t interested in these things. He quietly observed the system map. He was about to leave when his position nearly coincided with the mark on it.

Richard gazed dangerously.

He waved his hand, and the troop slowed down.

He immediately lowered his head to check if his position coincided with the mark.

His gaze passed through the light blue lake more than ten meters deep and saw the bottom of the lake.

A vast transparent bubble isolated the lake water. It formed a small world.

Several broken palaces inside the bubble had shrunk by dozens of times.

Richard scanned the area. He could see a spacious square in the center of this mysterious area.

One had built the gray-brown bricks smoothly and engraved countless inscriptions on them.

The inscription restrained a piece of the back of a hand that emitted a terrifying aura at the core.

One could feel waves of pressure even from a distance.

That was the body of the god of the gods.

Tadpole-sized, pitch-black creatures patrolled the surroundings at this hour as if they protected the body. They were the corrupted half-murlocs, the servants of the gods.

Richard narrowed his eyes at the sight.

Xina obtained Emily’s. The lady warrior told him all the information. The evil half-murlocs inside were probably all above level 15.

He had the ancient god statute back then and the means to restrain the gods. These soldiers made him feel tremendous pressure, and he did not dare to act rashly eventually.

Things were different now. The level 15 soldier was no longer a threat before him.

The number of people that hunted in Twilight City was hundreds of thousands.

Richard still worriedly thought about the remnant soul of that god mostly. But the god was visibly far from recovery.

Otherwise, one couldn’t have imprisoned it here.

Richard pondered and opened the attribute panel. As expected, there was no information on it.

However, just as he tried to check, a familiar notification suddenly sounded in his ear.

[Ding~ You have triggered an unexpected event–]

[To break the seal, the broken power of god summoned a life form from another plane. A grace mainland lord to assist him.]

[1. You can choose the task of the grace mainland lord and help the god escape. You will receive god’s favor and reward.

[2. You will gain the deity’s hostility and aggression if you prevent it from escaping.

[3. Leave, stand by, and do nothing. The god will ignore you.]

[Note 1: The reward for this emergency mission is calculated based on the development and completion of the event.]

[Note 2: You can become a teammate with the lord of the same choice if you choose the corresponding mission. But you will become the opponent of the lord of the other one.]

“An emergency?”

Richard was confounded.

He was all too familiar with this mission mode.

This divine power summoned other players to help. That was interesting.

They would directly fight against other players if they made different choices.

Richard’s eyes narrowed after he read the mission a few more times.

This hunt had become exciting.

The players, who the god had summoned, would most likely choose to help it escape.

That was the safest and most profitable choice. The players could have wanted to as for stopping it, but they didn’t.

Players who could survive until now were not fools. Slaying a god was not something they could do at this stage.

“But, this god is my prey.”

“Have you asked for the knife in my hand? That is if you want to let it go.

“Loreinna, get ready to hunt.”
