298 Chapter 257: The Giant Human-Faced Tree and the Golden Fruits
'Woohoo!'
The battle horn sounded again in the sky above Twilight City.
With the previous experience, the residents did not panic at all this time.
Slowly, they finished their work in an orderly manner.
The people outside the city returned to the city.
They did what they had to do in the city. Before the higher-ups gave orders, they did not stop their work at all.
After the chubby woman in charge of the agricultural area finished her work, she led the staff through the towering city gate.
She looked at the sturdy building above her head. Excitement filled the woman whose face was like an apple cut in half.
"Praise the Lord, this is all too incredible...
"I came out this morning and there was no news. It's a miracle!"
The residents around her were even more excited than her.
"Auntie Marie, this is a miracle!" her eyes were burning.
"With the Lord here, those hateful enemies can forget about stepping into the city!"
The residents of Twilight City had more confidence in Richard than they had in him.
With the high morale of the people, the people of Twilight City were truly united.
When faced with an enemy, no one would think of retreating.
At this time, the troop did all kinds of work in a clear and organized manner.
The most important ones were the Desert Crown Bee and the fire dragon rabbit.
Richard frowned as he watched the fire dragon rabbit locked up in the stables.
Once the Twilight City found an enemy to attack, the agricultural area outside the city would often be the first area to be in danger.
The agricultural area without walls was like a naked young girl placed in front of a group of villains sentenced to death.
It doesn't have the slightest strength to resist.
Come to think of it, this wasn't the first or second time such a situation had occurred.
The venomous vultures, wyverns, monster attacks, and the kobold attacks... The agricultural area was not spared every time.
Richard let out a long sigh of relief.
"I have to find a way to solve the agricultural area problem in the future.
"The enemies that Twilight City will encounter in the future will only get stronger. It's impossible to keep the agricultural area intact every time.
"Furthermore, the agricultural area will continue to expand in the future. When an even more powerful enemy descends one day... If life forms from other dimensions attack, it's very likely that this area will be turned into scorched earth."
Richard pondered.
"Farming is a must. Trade will solve the problem of development, and farming will solve our own safety.
"We can't miss out on any one of them.
"But in the future, we can't just build agricultural areas in an unprotected desert."
In the beginning, before the enemy attacked, Richard didn't find any problems with the agricultural area.
However, after he experienced a few enemy attacks, this area had almost become a worry for him.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
He summoned Alves with a wave of his hand, who flew into the sky.
Before he went to the underground world, he had spent 10000 units of gemstones to resurrect this A-rank dragon hero from the Hero's Altar.
Every time he saw Alves these past two days, he would feel heartache.
At the same time, he was very unhappy with the monarch of darkness who was imprisoned in the dungeon.
He's still so arrogant even though he's locked up in the dungeon. Bullying an honest person.
Capturing the dungeon would allow him to subdue the monarch of darkness. This was something he had always remembered.
One day, he would catch her and return the 10000 units of gems.
"Lord"
The dragon hero's empty voice resounded all around.
Richard's eyes narrowed.
"If the enemy doesn't have any flying units, you will lead the skeleton blood dragon to set up an ambush in the land of quicksand. I will give you orders through the riddle crystal."
"As you wish."
Alves immediately flapped its wings and flew away.
He left Twilight City with the skeleton blood dragon.
Richard didn't go to the agricultural area alone.
The enemy he faced this time was not the wilderness troops that attacked Twilight City during the previous disaster.
His enemy was a god, a god whose divine titles were greed and plunder.
He could not predict what the top existence of the "Shining Era" would do.
Even if the face of the main seat was no less than that of a god, since the other party could descend once, they could land a second time.
As a precaution, he had to make sufficient preparations.
******
"President Chris, we have calculated the numbers. There are more than six teams of kobold soldiers gathered in the desert.
"One of them is a very rare-level kobold heavy soldiers.
"There are four battalions of rare soldiers kobold warriors, archers, and spearmen.
"The remaining brigade is made up of elite-level troops."
In the vast desert.
Chris nodded in satisfaction as it listened to the players' reports.
He had not expected the kobold god to be so powerful. The troop he had gathered in the desert was so powerful.
For safety's sake, each of the 15 players of the Secret Society had brought a large team of soldiers.
In other words, they now had more than two legions in their hands.
That would be 21 brigades, 210 squadrons, and 2100 squads.
They didn't believe that there was a player who could resist the almost invincible power in his hands at this time!
"No one can come!"
Pride shrouded its heart.
"What about the player's territory?"
"The enemy has already retreated into the city."
"Very good. All troops, set off to retrieve our rewards!"
After putting away the Teleportation Formation, Chris's pride increased.
The troop surged toward the direction of Twilight City with a wave of its hand.
Tens of thousands of soldiers marched forward. They formed a dense black mass.
When their numbers reached a certain level, the pressure they brought was terrifying.
However, Chris soon felt something was wrong.
It had only been less than half an hour, but the morale of the troop already dropped.
Even it felt a little uncomfortable.
Chris looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was in the west.
It heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was already evening. If it was noon, the high temperature would be enough to make the kobold troop suffer.
A sense of vigilance rose in its heart.
An environment like the desert was indeed not a place ordinary people could stay in.
This war had to end quickly.
A journey of tens of kilometers was not considered long on the plains but in the desert. It was not until the moon was high in the sky that they met up with the vanguard troop.
However, the kobolds had night vision, so the night had no effect on them.
On the contrary, because the heat during the day had disappeared, the morale of the troop rose significantly.
"Lord Chris, the blasphemer's territory is two kilometers away!"
A kobold god in thick armor looked into the distance.
Under the clear-as-water moonlight, a not-so-large city stood in front of them.
That was their destination.
The territory of the players.
A hint of pride appeared in Chris' eyes.
It had two legions under its command, and its strength was unprecedented.
It would be a miracle for that territory to send out two thousand troops.
"Even if the other party has two thousand troops, with twenty thousand against two thousand, I have the advantage!
"Prepare to attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the kobold hero in front immediately turned around and prepared to mobilize the army.
But at this moment, a disturbance suddenly came from the side.
The kobold troop released a series of howls.
Chris raised an eyebrow.
"What happened..." Before it could finish its sentence, the tip of its nose suddenly twitched.
An indescribable feeling rose in his heart.
A strong desire filled every cell in its body.
It was as if it had been starved for half a month and smelled the sweetness of the bread, and the feeling was irresistible.
The kobold hero who had just left immediately turned around and returned. Intense excitement shrouded its voice.
"Lord, our scouts have found a giant human-faced tree on the side. It has 10 golden fruits on its crown! Those are magic plants that can purify bloodlines!"
It immediately moved Chris's heart.
"Purifying bloodline?
"There was even such a treasure?"
Moreover, he could not fake the desire in its body.
"How strong is the giant human-faced tree?"
"Extremely powerful. I'm afraid we'll have to mobilize several large groups of soldiers to capture it!"
Chris wasn't disappointed. Instead, its eyes lit up.
"If the giant human-faced tree was weak, it must be a trap... This place was so close to that territory, so it was impossible for the other party to not notice."
But now, there was only one possibility. The other party had discovered it but could not deal with the giant human-facaed tree.
It immediately decided.
"Send 6 battalions to surround the remaining three sides of this territory!"
"Two brigades in each direction. Keep your distance and don't attack for the time being.
The remaining troops will stay here and station four brigades to support the other troops. The rest of the troops, follow me."
The troop immediately took action. Some surrounded the city in front of them.
The other part went towards the giant human-faced tree with the powerful magical fruit.
They entered a seemingly soft sand field not long after the troop advanced.
But no one took it seriously.
After a while, Chris led the troop closer to the giant human-faced tree.
He immediately noticed the 10 golden fruits at the top.
The desire in his heart rose to the extreme.
The giant human-faced tree pushed back the heroes who attacked at the front.
"Lord Chris, we can't do anything to this giant human-faced tree with just our troop!"
Chris waved its hand.
This giant human-face tree is level 13 and extremely powerful. It's also a boss.
"Send in 10000 soldiers from outside. I'm going to use the human wave tactic to crush it!"
Excitement shrouded its eyes.
"Good Lord, this A-rank mission was a little satisfying."
Before he conquers the human territory, he would let it harvest 10 magical fruits that could improve the bloodline.
