640 Chapter 423: Radiant Moon Class Lair-King of the Imperial Army [2/4]
Its enormous body was too advantageous.
That was an inherent advantage of the race.
There was no reason to talk about talent.
Richard saw the mummies crawl out of the ground, and the Twilight City troop quickly slaughtered them. Richard felt sparingly odd since his troops obtained a lower level than the enemy.
To a certain extent, the level reflected the level of strength, but it could not prove the battle power.
That included mode, level, technology, and strategic treasure bonuses. It would be pure power when one gathered all these together.
Richard saw Emily lead the battle and had the upper hand. He didn’t mind. He was no longer interested in these post-battle deserts.
Alves landed in the central square.
Then, it floated away from behind and walked up the twelve steps to the yellow sand throne.
The soldiers in the square were in a daze as they looked at the extraordinary figure.
It was as if their lord was the true lord of that city.
Richard looked around and immediately saw the burly figure before the troop.
He was Sel Bloodhoof. He was the leader of the barbarian tribe, the ruler of Bloodhoof City, and now the nominal ruler of the underground world.
Richard gazed at the dried blood on Sel’s body. His eyes softened.
“Sel, I’ve seen the sacrifices of Bloodhoof City and everyone else.”
“Your bravery and fearlessness have won my approval.
“The Twilight City will never forget your sacrifices.”
Richard didn’t expect one could mobilize the underground troop so quickly.
He was satisfied with Sel’s performance.
The controller of the barbarian prison was outstanding. He knew the right path from the beginning.
This guy had gone too far.
Sel held his chest and humbly bowed. His tone was sparingly fanatical.
“Lord Richard, it is an honor to serve you!”
“It is an honor to serve you!”
The surging sound resounded through the sky.
These words came from the bottom of their hearts. The soldiers from the dungeon had never thought that they would encounter such a legendary event when they supported Twilight City.
The Dune Lord could form a hundred-meter-tall giant sand. Fire Elemental Lord Klose could control flames that burn everything, and the lord was so high up that everyone would bow their heads when they heard his name… They appeared before him one by one.
Half a year ago, the mightiest existences were only the rulers of two factions and were only level 15 in the underground world.
It was like a myth.
These existences in myths and legends were all related to the ruler before him. That was even more ridiculous.
Imprisoning transcendents, hunting gods… This taboo incident caused an indescribable shock to their hearts.
Richard was like a god that descended into the world in their minds. He was glorious and magnificent.
“No need for formalities. When the war is over, I will give you generous rewards.”
Richard looked at Sel.
“Sel, lead your troop and search thoroughly.
“I need to know where their treasury is.”
Sel took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
“As you wish.”
This matter seemed simple, but it was an excellent reward for Sel.
Who was qualified to collect the spoils of war in battle?
A confidant. A confidant of all confidants.
Richard nodded in satisfaction as he watched Sel leave.
He could finally see the effect of leaving Bloodhoof City behind.
It was not a loss.
Sel left less than ten minutes after. Karu rode on a stone statue of the dead and passed through the spatial rift.
The administrative officer in charge of the affairs of Twilight City had a solemn expression on his face, and there was a depressing atmosphere about him.
Karu arrived at the yellow sand throne with twelve steps. He immediately bowed.
“Good day, Lord Richard… We calculated the battle losses of Twilight City.”
Anger and sadness filled his voice.
“We’ve suffered heavy losses…”
Richard stared at Karu. He seemed to have aged by more than ten years. He frowned.
“There’s no need for that, Karu.
“Twilight City hasn’t fallen yet, and our residents are still alive.
“We can repair the damaged buildings and re-recruit the fallen soldiers. No matter how bad the situation is now, can it be worse than the humble beginning of Twilight City?
“It’s just spending more resources.
“Black Sorbet, Whitetail Wine, Yellow Sand Robe, Desert Crown Honey, and the weapons factory in the underground world. None has damaged any of them, and it didn’t affect our foundation.”
Master Karu was momentarily stunned. But Richard’s words soothed his anxiety.
“Yes, no matter how difficult it was to build the current Twilight City, it wouldn’t surpass our tight grapple when we first founded it.
“Moreover, Twilight City was the victor of this war. We even imprisoned transcendents in the dungeons.
“The winner should not have revealed such a stance!”
Karu sighed, and his gaze returned to its usual emotions.
“Lord Richard, I was too narrow-minded. Your eminence is enough to make the gods admire you…”
Richard noticed that Karu had calmed down and smiled.
That was why he always placed Karu in a salient position. This gray-haired man would never make an irrational decision because of external factors.
To control one’s emotions was the most basic ability of a superior.
“Report the losses of Twilight City in detail.”
“Yes, Lord!”
Master Karu’s face darkened.
“Four hours ago, I suddenly heard a horn blow, and then I saw a crack in the sky…The Dune Lord’s mummy troop and the kobolds suddenly attacked.”
