297 Chapter 256: Players Strikes
Richard glanced a few and instantly sank into a good mood.
It was powerful and overbearing.
The dark gargoyle and the undead soldier increased in their attributes compared to before.
The Tomahawk Slash range had increased from 40 meters to 60 meters. Its attack power had increased by another level.
Furthermore, the Tomahawk Smash, which had a range of 10 meters, was now 30 meters, which gave this unit a strategic advantage.
One could describe it as overbearing.
Thirty meters in addition to the 10 meters of burning flames, the coverage reached 40 meters, which was more than just abnormal.
Even the giant alchemist cannon bombs didn't have such an exaggerated damage range.
This troop class had entered the glorious-level. The improvement was too distinct compared to the previous promotions.
Although the attack range of the undead soldiers was far from that of the sand condensation archer, it was already close to 300 meters.
However, in a battle like defending a city...
An attack range of 60 meters was more than enough.
The only pity was that Richard didn't have many resources left. So he couldn't upgrade all the Axe of the Dead troops.
Moreover, the Axe of the Dead troop-type lairs bought later were rare-level. Even with the resources, it would take two weeks to upgrade to glorious-level.
Richard nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the imposing and tall undead soldier.
After some thought, he waved his hand and recruited all the remaining troops.
The system upgraded all the troops he had recruited previously to the current level of the troop-type lairs after it cleared the production in two weeks.
The resources in his hands also fell rapidly.
After the recruitment, Richard's forces had reached an unbelievable height.
Rare-level Troop-Type Lairs
Guardian Mummy 280→350, undead soldier 200→300
Rare-Level Troop-Type Lairs
Bandaged Mummy 30→72
Scorpion Warrior 50→64
Giant Axe Death Knight 114→156
Sand Condensation Archer 220→320
Sand Mage 125→175
Cursed Pharaoh 30→35
Glorious-Level Troop-Type Lairs
Dark Gargoyle 160→200
Axe of the Dead 50→60
Heavy Sword Warrior 20.
Crown-level troop-type lairs
Skeleton Blood Dragon 30
Skeleton Demon 3.
The total number of soldiers was more than 1500.
Fifteen squadrons, 150 squads...
Moreover, the main force was rare-level soldiers.
On top of it were the 28 glorious-level squads and three crown-level squads.
Richard was more confident than ever.
In addition, three A-rank heroes–Gray, Gunter, and Alves.
Beyond A-rank hero, Xina, and a boss–the god's ancient tree.
The power in his hands was unprecedentedly strapping.
Other than that, some centaurs had lost their power. And the souls of the gods who still slept in the ancient god statue.
Even with a rough estimate, Richard felt that the power in his hands was a bit too strong.
He did not know, at this stage, which player could compare to him.
Just a few heroes and bosses were enough to destroy a strong player's territory.
This time, the harvest in the underground world was satisfying.
"A man can't be rich without external wealth. A horse can't be fat without night grass..."
It lifted Richard's spirits.
Suddenly, a soldier rushed in from outside.
"My Lord, there is an urgent report from the front. We discovered several kobold troops in the desert!"
Richard's eyes narrowed.
"How many are there?"
"There are roughly more than five brigades, and they're still gathering..."
"How far is it from Twilight City?"
"About 80 kilometers. They're in the depression of a hill and have used magic to hide their traces. We might not have discovered them if not for several troops that we gathered…"
Richard's eyes narrowed.
What was supposed to come would still come.
"Sound the battle horn, and the entire city is on guard!"

Chris had always been cautious as the president of the secret society.
Especially since the "Shining Era" was no longer a game where one could never die, it was even more cautious.
It moved Chris this time.
It was because Kurto, the god of kobolds, gave an oracle to all the kobolds in the territory.
They would attack the desert territory. Whoever killed the human overlord and offered his soul to the kobold god would receive an unprecedented generous reward.
It was an A-rank mission. After Chris received the oracle, it didn't think much of it.
After all, its territory was in the dark dungeon, which was too far away from the desert.
If it brought the troop along, it could reach it in a year and a half.
But then something else immediately made Chris excited.
It had obtained a teleportation treasure in the instance dungeon, which could open a space gate for a short time and send the troop to a designated destination.
And the god of kobolds found this news when Chris prayed.
The powerful evil god used its divine power to strengthen the treasure. It increased its duration by several times.
It had even personally given it the task of hunting down the other party and gave it a token. As long as it went to the desert, it could lead the troops they gathered in the desert.
What made Chris even more excited was that it found out that the territory was not a city of powerful NPCs but a god-bestowed territory, which was the territory of players!
The other party's territory was still solitary.
This news made Chris unable to calm down for a long time.
It didn't believe anyone could stop the dark dungeon's troop attack!
Therefore, in its opinion, they could pick up this A-rank mission for free.
Even though it had been cautious, the god of kobolds personally gave the mission.
Chris took a deep breath and turned to look at the dozen or so players who were eager to try.
'It is a direct mission from the god of the kobold. We will leave an impression on the god of kobold's heart as long as we complete it.
"The dark dungeon only has one master. We have no choice but to try our best to win the attention of the kobold god."
A young player said excitedly.
"Guild leader, you're being too cautious. We're going there to freeload some credit. What's difficult about a dozen of us attacking a player's territory?"
"The kobold troop in the desert has already gathered. We can still command them..."
Then, it seemed to have thought of something and shouted.
"So what if the other party is Qingqiu's territory? Could they withstand our attacks?
"We can flatten whoever comes!"
They had developed in the dark dungeon for several months and had accumulated a tremendous force.
It is true with the god of kobolds, whose character was not as unattainable as the other gods. He would often send down miracles. And they took many missions from it and obtained countless benefits.
With such a background, they were more confident than anyone else.
Chris smiled.
"Not bad! No one could stop our vanguard!"
It turned its head and looked at the troop around.
It waved its hand.
"Let's go!"
More than a dozen players passed through the Teleportation Circle with a winning mentality.
They were ready to trample on that unknown player's territory.
