As the countdown reached zero, all the players left the dungeon simultaneously.

Meanwhile, in the dungeon, the battle that players had not yet contested for victory was still in a stalemate…

Richard only felt a flash and appeared in the Lord’s Mansion in Twilight City with Gray and Gunter.

When he looked at the familiar environment in his heart, he felt inexplicably at ease.

He was finally back.

The corners of his mouth curled up.

The harvest from the dungeon this time was priceless.

It was honestly a great harvest.

But at the same time, he felt somewhat disappointed and lost.

There were ultimately many more missions the players could explore in this dungeon.

Moreover, whether the follow-up Third Princess plan was successful or not and whether the Scarlet Council could establish an ideal country, he was interested in these plots.

Unfortunately, there was no time left.

[Ding~ The dungeon ended on the eve of the decisive battle.]

[Mission reward calculation…]

[Ding~ Your points reached 1268,963. You ranked first and obtained 50 gold points.]

[Ding~ You ranked first in the dungeon for a month in a row and obtained an additional 30 gold points.]

[Ding~ You completed an A-rank mission and obtained an additional ten gold points. An S-rank and 50 gold points.]

[In the time fragment, you have received the following gold points: became the first military officer in Templar City and received one gold point.]

[Became an elder of the Scarlet Council and received five gold points. You have served for three weeks and received three gold points.]

[Gave a pre-battle speech and received five gold points.]

[Completed an S-rank mission and received 20 gold points.]

[The total number of gold points you received is: 174.]

[Ding~ You ranked first on the ranking board. You have the right to exchange five treasures for free — two in the ordinary points store and three in the gold points store.]

[Ding~ You have completed an S-rank mission and are ranked first on the ranking board. You have obtained the right to exchange items in the gold points store for free.]

[Ding~ The points market has opened. Please redeem for yourself.]

With a series of notifications, overwhelming gaiety immediately filled Richard’s expectations.

It sounded like he had become a wealthy landlord.

He quickly opened the [Trading Market] that appeared in his mind.

One was a grayish-white ordinary points market, and the other was a gold points market.

When he looked at the series of points above him, the corners of his mouth curled up.

It was finally time to reap the rewards after he had spent so much effort.

First, he opened the ordinary points store.

It displayed the enemies he had toppled down in the dungeon… All of them were blood-colored mummies.

This thing would be cannon fodder if recruited. It was not worth the heartache of dying.

When he looked down, four options appeared in his line of sight.

They were troops’ lairs, resources, strategic treasures, and building blueprints.

Richard didn’t hesitate and opened the troop’s lair first.

The next column showed the detailed options: faction, potential (highest level: rare), melee/ranged… There were 10 of them.

The highest they could exchange for was a Rare 3-stars troop’s lair.

He wondered if he could exchange for a few glorious or crown-level ones. But the other party didn’t give him a chance.

Richard felt a little regretful.

He started to search.

Desert camp, potential… Rare 3-stars.

In an instant, several troop lairs appeared in front of him.

Desert lizardmen — Rare 3-star, exchange points 100,000.

Desert orcs — Rare 3-star, exchange points 100,000.

******

Rare 3-stars troop lairs had 100,000 points, Rare 2-stars troop lairs had 9,500 points, and Rare 1-star troop lairs had 90,000 points…

Rare 3-stars troop lairs’ points were 50,000, elite troop lairs’ points were 10,000, and ordinary troop lairs’ points were only 1,000.

There was no fixed logical equation. The lower level means the lower points.

Richard looked around and did not find any soldiers with whom he was satisfied.

He suddenly thought of something and searched in the detailed search bar — Axe of the Dead.

This soldier was the trump card of Twilight City and had great value in training.

He had always wanted to buy the Axe of the Dead’s troop lair, but he had never found anyone selling it on the [Forum Chat].

The next second, a search result appeared.

[Axe of the Dead — Elite 3-stars, exchange points: 10,000]

Richard’s eyes glared up.

So inexpensive? He wanted to buy 100!

[Ding~ You have obtained an Axe of the Dead troop lair, which cost 10,000 points.]

[Ding~]

…

However, after ten consecutive times, the system suddenly prompted.

[Ding~ The number of units you purchased has reached the upper limit. You can no longer repurchase.]

‘What is this thing? Is this even limited?’

Richard beamed a helpless expression.

After a moment, he chose the mummies’ lair and continued to search.

Over a million points were still left. Richard had to spend them…

He was afraid that if Versaille’s idea spread out, other players would spray him to death.

However, he was not in a hurry to buy it. He began to think seriously — what kind of troop did Twilight City lack right now.

The melee soldiers had bandaged mummies, poison scorpion warriors, and heavy sword warriors.

The flying soldiers had dark gargoyles.

The middle-range attacks had the undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead, and the long-range attacks had the sand condensation archers.

The cavalry had the giant axe death knights.

They were equipped with almost all the types of soldiers that he wanted.

The only one lacking was the cursed pharaoh.

Furthermore, with two A-rank mummy heroes, the sturdiest curse skill of this type of soldier was of little value.

“The cursed pharaoh can be incorporated into the city defense troop. This type of soldier isn’t weak. But it’s overshadowed by the hero’s radiance.

“But if that’s the case, I need to find a new mage troop.

“The mage troop that Twilight City lacks right now isn’t offensive. Instead, it lacks a troop that can cast buff spells on the troop and increases all attributes.”
