Richard looked at the strapping giant undead knight in front of him and opened his stats window with some anticipation.

[Giant Axe Death Knight]

[Level: 3]

[Potential: Rare 3-stars]

[Skills: Body of the Dead (D-rank) — Immune to poisons, curses, and plagues. Strength increased by 50%. Charge speed increased by 30%.]

[Furious Charge (D-rank] — Can be increased to maximum speed in three seconds. Charge strength increased by 200%.]

[Giant Tomahawk Slash (D-rank) — Swinging the giant tomahawk while charging can increase strength by 50%. It causes heavy damage.]

[Sand Walk (D-rank) — Charges on the sand. Speed increased by 30%. Charge strength increased by 50%.]

[Race Talent: When on the sand, strength increased by 50%. Recovery speed increased by 50%.]

[Fetters-Strikes: When the charging distance reaches 100 meters, the charging force increases by 300%.]

[Description: They are spears that tear through the enemy’s defense line. No one is willing to face the cavalry that is charging.]

This soldier is quite similar to the white-boned cavalry he saw in the underground area where he obtained Gray.

Once they charge, they will turn into an invincible sharp blade.

That battle had left a deep impression on him.

If not for the Sand Transformation’s physical damage, Twilight City might have lost more than half of its troops under the enemy’s charge.

His eyes sparkled.

More importantly, he could now bestow the giant undead knight with Sand Transformation.

When these units reached the peak of their charge, they also possessed near-immortal abilities. This could be described as extraordinary.

Richard thought about it and felt his Sand Transformation skill was vehementlyfearless.

He would be able to face all enemies with physical damage if he matched it with the close battle troops.

It was comfortable.

Compared to these two new troops, the sand condensation archers had less need for Sand Transformation.

After all, long-range troops would always be protected in the front row.

If the enemy broke through to the back row to attack them, then the entire troop would be defeated not far away.

However, the Sand Transformation abundantly increased their ability to protect themselves.

However, this way, there was more room for maneuvering. For example…using these troops as bait to attract the enemy to attack at a crucial moment.

The enemy would suddenly realize they could not kill the prey when they paid an enormous sacrifice and charge over. That scene would be exceptionally enthralling.

The troop had gathered while Richard thought.

When he saw this, he slowly extended his right hand. A yellow sand light flashed in his palm and bestowed Sand Transformation on everyone…

He had recruited 142 people from the eight newly purchased troop lairs. The troops reached 381 people plus the original 239 people.

There were nearly four squadrons.

Moreover, the potential of the troop lairs was rare-level and above.

After Richard thought about it, he felt a little excited.

It had only been a month.

Fervor congested his eyes.

At this moment, he looked forward to clashing with the other players in three days.

Twilight City’s battle saber thirsted for blood…

‘Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!’

The sky suddenly darkened, and Richard was startled awake.

He raised his head.

The figure of the dark gargoyle appeared in his line of sight.

The troop sent out to track the venom vulture had returned.

The dark gargoyle landed outside the Lord’s mansion after circling a few times.

No troop was allowed to land directly in the Lord’s mansion. This was an iron law that it had set.

A moment later, Gray wearing a colorful crown and white bones left on his face, walked over quickly.

He had just stabilized himself when he immediately bowed.

“Lord, we could not find the lair of those venom vultures…”

Gray’s tone was unusually solemn.

“Several wyverns suddenly appeared midway that blocked our path… I didn’t continue to chase and only returned to my territory after I took a detour.”

“Wyverns?”

Richard’s eyes narrowed.

“Isn’t this a type of dungeon race? Why would they suddenly appear in the desert?”

Apart from the main plane, there were countless other dimensional planes in the “Shining Era”.

And in the depths of the main plane, there were underground worlds of all sizes.

Legend had it that gods used these underground worlds to lock up criminals during the Ancient Era.

Countless years later, these prisons slowly changed, and their lives flourished.

Because of this, life in the underground world was collectively known as the dungeon race.

The most famous of the dungeon race was their signature troop lair — the Wyvern.

Fierce and tyrannical.

However, these troop lairs would only appear underground. Once they appeared on the surface, that meant…

Gray’s hollow eyes burned with the flames of his soul.

“Lord, I suspect there’s an entrance to the underground world nearby.

“Those venomous wyverns might have been driven away…”

Richard’s eyes lit up.

‘There is the entrance to the underground world?’

In the main plane of glory, the name of the underground world was often synonymous with wealth and adventure.

Legend had it that the underground world had countless golden gemstones, treasure vaults of dragons, and fertile underground cities…

But at the same time, there were countless dangers.

Nagas, minotaurs, evil eyes, half-nagas, and black dragons were all creatures of the underground world. They were ruinous and powerful.

“Lead two teams of dark gargoyles to search the place where the wyverns appeared. But do not engage the enemy! If you encounter danger, retreat immediately.”

“We don’t have time to explore the underground world for the time being…”

Gray immediately supported his chest in response.

“As you wish.”

Richard pressed his temples. He felt a slight headache.

“I remember I obtained a 2-star treasure map before, but I didn’t explore it.

“There are still eight bronze doors left in the ancient ruins…

“Other than that, we discovered the Dark Temple for the first time. There was a lot of good stuff inside.

“The Level 10 Boss that breeds poisonous wasps — the God’s Ancient Tree is still waiting for me to dig it out…

“The food workshop and the winery lack heroes to activate the Research Department. We need to think of ways to recruit heroes from related levels…

“The troop lairs can be upgraded long ago. This requires a lot of resources.

“There’s no sign of Xina’s hero recruitment quest. There’s no clue about the enemy’s god’s seal…”

“We need to solve the territory’s defense problem too. We can’t be attacked by venom vultures the next time. The troop can only watch helplessly…”

Richard realized that it would take months to settle all the matters at hand after he thought for a while.

He shook his head helplessly. He could not be in two places at once.

Time was tight. He had no time to care about other things now. He had to prepare for the large-scale dungeon.

After Gray left, he got someone to call Gunter and Baal Sharpclaw, the cavalry heroes of Twilight City.

“Gunter, take the bandaged mummy, the scorpion warrior, and the sand archer to go out and sweep the map… I need you to raise the sand archer’s level to 5 as fast as possible. And activate the additional characteristics of the rare-level soldier!

“Baal, I’ll assign the giant undead knights to you. Just like Gunter, raise their level to 5 within two days… In addition, bring back all the prey and corpses you’ve obtained.”

After Richard finished speaking, he assigned half a team of dark gargoyles to each of the two heroes to watch and scout the way.

The remaining three teams of dark gargoyles and two and a half teams of undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead stayed behind to guard the territory.

The wyverns that Gray had mentioned had put him on high alert. Twilight City needed to have enough forces to defend it.

As a powerful mage hero, Gunter did not have any pressure to lead a few troops to sweep the map.

Although Baal’s potential as a knight hero was a little low, it led the entire cavalry out. It had mobility and no lack of attacks.

Nothing would happen as long as it did not attack the gathering place of the too-powerful field forces.

Twilight City began to operate according to his will after his order…

Richard came to the sand and prepared to strengthen himself after the few heroes went out.

He could not control those powers accurately due to his lack of combat experience, although he had several Beyond A-rank skills.

He did not want to experience the feeling of overdrawing his magic power and suffering from kidney deficiency for a few hours.

Meanwhile, Richard captured Xina. No one was more suitable for the role of sparring partner than whose battle skills were always at the master level.

Xina was also quite excited. It was a rare opportunity to fight against such a powerful mage.

The only thing to note was that the power in the opponent’s body could blow up the entire desert. If one were not careful, they would be severely injured…

The hero scanned the map outside while Richard trained there. It had been like this for a few days… In the blink of an eye, it was the 28th of May.

Early in the morning, the sky had just brightened. Richard had already walked out of the Lord’s mansion.

He immediately gathered all the troops in Twilight City.

He did not arrange any more missions because today was the opening time of the large-scale dungeon.

One million top-tier players would enter a dungeon together.

It was an unprecedented event.
