638 Chapter 422: The War Ends, Picking the Fruits of Victory [2/2]
The other party could have conquered Twilight City if it were not for the fact that he had accumulated enough resources.
Killing intent surged in his heart.
That was the most severe damage to Twilight City. Two-thirds of the troop he had accumulated more than half a year had died in this war!
Two-thirds, how many resources was that?!
How many Black Sorbet ice creams did he have to sell to earn it back?
How much time would it take to recruit these troops again?
“The damned lord of the dunes and that silly kobold god deserved to die!”
The great war has caused damage to buildings. These would require massive resources to repair.
That was not a battle in an instance dungeon. He could no longer resurrect the destroyed buildings and fallen soldiers.
The underground reinforcements that came to support were also tragic. Their corpses were everywhere.
The price Twilight City had paid to resist this attack was supremely formidable.
“Lock it up in the dungeon. Three days later, organize a public trial and let the residents of Twilight City judge it personally!”
He finished speaking.
The roots of the god’s ancient tree loosened and threw the dune ruler onto the sand.
The transcendent who had been insufferably arrogant a moment ago did not even have the strength to stand up now.
The two stone statues of the dead swooped down and carried each other up. They brought them back to Twilight City.
The decaying Dune Lord felt humiliated and indignant. Even after being sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, it was still transcendent!
How could it be so aggrieved?!
It raised its head and cursed in a supremely resentful tone.
“Lowly human, I will destroy you. And your city!! I will deliver my eternal curse to you!!”
The two stone statues of the dead attacked the dune ruler from both sides and gave it a few big ears before it could finish speaking. They knocked out its front teeth.
Richard ignored the Dune Lord. The curse of the loser was laughable and pitiful, but it was nothing more than a roar of incompetence.
“You can’t even defeat me when you’re at your mightiest. How can you make Twilight City collapse with just a few curses?
“You curse day and night. Can you curse a god to death?”
The figure of the Dune Lord disappeared from his sight.
This exceptional scheme, the war the gods personally participated in, would end.
The Twilight City won the final victory at the cost of losing two-thirds of its troop.
The situation calmed down.
Fire Elemental Lord Klose floated in the sky like a scorching sun. It waved its hand fiercely. It halted the collapsing flames and dissipated the heat that could melt everything.
The transcendent boss looked at Richard with bright eyes, but it did not speak.
Richard sensed the man’s gaze and exchanged a glance.
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Silence. Everything was in silence.
Fire Elemental Lord Klose looked at him deeply, then waved his hand and shattered the void.
The heat wave that rolled came pressing down again, and infinite flames burned wantonly on the other side of the plane.
Lord Klose stepped forward and disappeared into the flames.
It did not speak to Richard and left the central plane from the beginning to the end.
Richard was in a good mood after Lord Klose disappeared.
The relationship between the two sides had gone from mutual use to true friends.
The subtlety of it was unfathomable to outsiders.
Fire Elemental Lord Klose would descend again if others attacked Richard again.
That was the fundamental reason for his generous investment in the other party’s friendship.
No amount of resources could equalize a transcendent’s battle power.
It could decide finality at critical moments.
Lord Klose left.
Richard turned his gaze to another spatial rift in the sky.
It was the spatial rift ripped open by the Dune Lord, and it hadn’t closed yet.
Richard could see an empty throne made of yellow sand on the broad square before him.
Further away, there were tall buildings.
One could see the glory of Twilight City from the tall buildings although the view couldn’t contain the whole picture.
The City of the Dune Lord.
Richard’s mood rose.
The soldiers brought the Dune Lord back to Twilight City. They locked the dune ruler in the dungeon.
Richard heard the notification sound again the moment they locked the cell door.
[Ding~ You have captured the lord of the dunes.]
[Advancement Mission: Eliminate the Dune Lord]
[Current Progress: 90%]
[Eliminate the remaining forces to complete the Advancement Mission.]
The message quickly energized Richard after he read it twice.
The biggest problem was that he had imprisoned the Dune Lord.
Now, it was time to enjoy the fruits of victory.
He turned around and looked at the god’s ancient tree that stood on the yellow sand like a tree that could support the sky after the dust dissipated.
The skeleton blood dragon and the stone statues of the dead had already gathered in the surroundings.
At the same time, the 10-meter-tall centaur, Emily, who had activated her battle stance, walked over and looked at her with admiration.
He subconsciously looked around.
Dark treants more than 20 meters tall gathered rapidly around him.
The buzzing poisonous wasps formed a black cloud in the sky.
Sel Bloodhoof also led the dungeon tribe’s troop toward him…
Richard looked at this powerful troop after a great battle. He could not help but feel sparingly uneasy.
A strong sense of accomplishment rose in its heart.
That was the foundation of Twilight City, the power that he nurtured.
He took a deep breath and looked at the spatial rift.
He waved his hand.
“Tear down that city!”
His will was the direction of the Twilight City.
Richard gave the order, and the god’s ancient tree waved its branches. Endless power burst out that forcibly widened the spatial rift. This boss had the power of the legendary tree. It was the first to step in.
The skeletal blood dragon, the stone statue of the dead, and the dark treants followed closely behind.
The two idiot players watched Twilight City troop cross the spatial rift and charge into the city buried underground. The idiots behind felt a strange emotion.
The black-fat pheasant felt lost.
“Everything is over just like that?”
Even now, he still felt like he was in a dream.
What happened in just a few hours was too surreal.
Before he stepped through the space rift, he would never have expected that Qingqiu’s troop could counterattack the city of the Dune Lord.
The skinny Shanji shook his head and smiled bitterly.
“Yeah, who would have thought Qingqiu’s strength would be so powerful…”
He suddenly thought, if the other players knew the true strength of Qingqiu, what would their expressions be?
Presumably, they would be even more shocked than them.
Unfortunately, outsiders would never know what happened here without a live broadcast.
Moreover, no one would care even if he sent out these messages.
Hunting gods, imprisoning transcendents… Only a fool would believe such a mythical story.
No one was a fool. Qingqiu was strong, but it was nonsense to say that he could suppress transcendents, let alone slaughter gods–even if this was true.
Shanji thought of this, and he could not help but feel regretful.
At this moment, the black-fat pheasant Haonan seemed to have thought of something and said with some envy.
“There are unopened treasure vaults in the City of the Dune Lord, right? I wonder how many valuable things remained inside. This time, everything belonged to Qingqiu’s…”
His expression suddenly changed as he said that.
“It seems like that’s not all. Wouldn’t that city become the human overlord’s spoils of war after he imprisoned the lord of the dunes? This wave… He directly obtained a city?”
Shanji, who was as thin as a hemp pole, also had a stiff expression. He turned his head to look at his companion and said with rapid breathing.
“I remember that there were still ten desert guards’ lairs left in the urban area because the enemy had slayed some. At that time, I took a few more glances to ensure they were intact… F*ck, they were Crown 3-stars soldiers!!”
The Dune Lord’s domineering attitude made the two never think the city would fall.
It posed it was the only lord for them.
‘Now that the human overlord imprisoned the Dune Lord, wouldn’t everything that belonged to the dune ruler belongs to Qingqiu?’
The two idiots pondered the wealth and resources the Dune Lord had accumulated. They widened their eyes and looked at the Twilight City troop that had stepped into the spatial rift.
The human overlord seemed to have eaten ten thousand lemons in his mouth, and the sourness reached his heart.
“Qingqiu, this pervert! This human overlord deserved to die!!”
