676 Chapter 440: Return to Solan City [1/3]
Richard rode on Alves's back and watched how the vast yellow sand rapidly receded beneath him. Pride engulfed his eyes.
Lone desert smoke always had the boldness to control the world.
He turned to look at the troop beside him, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
The troop power he brought with him was enough for the players to consider it magnificent for this expedition.
Level 17 boss–god's ancient tree.
Level 15 Beyond A-rank dragon hero–Alves
Level 14 boss–Emily.
In addition, she was the desert ruler who had just advanced to level 15.
Even Emily, the lowest amongst them, could cause a vast wave once she activated her battle stance and transformed into a 10-meter-tall centaur warrior.
She could even summon the divine soul Renee from the ancient god statue if needed.
Just these heroes alone could crush an entire troop.
December 8th was Monday. It means they could recruit another troop. Richard recruited all that he could, and the number increased.
He brought out the best, other than the troops left behind.
Glorious 3-stars, level 11 undead soldiers–96 squads.
Glorious 3-stars, level 10 sandstorm controllers–50 squads.
Crown 1-star, level 13, skeleton blood dragons–16 squads.
Crown 3-stars, level 15, guardian mummies–30 squads.
Radiant Moon 3-stars, level 17, king of the imperial troops–9 squads.
The total was 201 squads… That was only two teams.
Moreover, the quality of the troop was extremely high.
The lowest was a level 10 soldier, and their potential was glorious.
The number would be even higher if Richard added the 1,000 Crown 3-stars, level 14 slaughter asps brought by the god's ancient tree.
He looked around and saw that the guardian mummies and the king of the imperial troops rode behind the skeleton blood dragons and the stone statues of the dead.
The sandstorm controllers turned into sandstorms and flew around the troop.
The god's ancient tree controlled the quicksand to move quickly on the ground. Its vast body was faintly discernible in the sandstorm. That gave people a strong sense of oppression.
The troop from afar that marched on the yellow sand looked like ancient mottled murals in a church. That was full of mystery and visual impact.
Richard discovered that larger life forms would grow other than intelligent life forms like humans once they reached a certain level.
Perhaps, that needed a larger body to carry its strength...
The speed of those that marched on the ground was naturally not as fast as pure air force that flew, although the god's ancient tree could control sand.
The speed of the troop was slow, in addition to the sandworms that carried the boats of machines,
Solan City was finally in sight after two days and two nights of rapid marching on December 12.
Richard did not bring a vast troop with him. The rest were left within a hundred miles of the desert except for sandworms.
They arrived outside Solan City with ease. The Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce's convoy already waited there.
Several people passed by there, although that wasn't the primary road.
The convoy moved the goods from the sandworms under the shocked gazes of the surrounding crowd.
The sandworm could still sense the size of this life form, although it showed only its head.
However, the flags of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce and the Solan Chamber of Commerce hung on them. That made those people lose their desire to inquire.
In Solan City, no one who could be related to these two top forces was to be trifled with.
Richard instructed the workers to confidently moved the goods. Emily was into the carriage and headed toward Solan City.
The bustling scene came into view as they passed through the towering gate.
Emily curiously leaned against the window. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at the passing street.
Some special snacks would salivate her from time to time.
This instantly mesmerized the young fellow. She had never been to such a prosperous place before.
Richard was amused and rubbed the young centaur's head.
"What do you want to eat? Go to the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce later and ask Vale to bring you there."
Emily was extremely popular in Twilight City. Everyone liked this innocent and cute young girl.
Especially when she had such great power.
Emily nodded in satisfaction. Her eyes shone brightly.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Vale."
The carriage drove through the long street while the young man fully anticipated.
Half an hour later, as the coachman pulled the reins, Richard saw the familiar walls of Violet Manor through the glass window.
As soon as the carriage stopped, two servants immediately stepped forward to open the door respectfully.
He is humble and modest.
"Lord Richard, welcome."
Richard got off the car with Emily, and just as he stood firm, an agile figure in a pure white dress rushed up to him with a swoosh. She hugged his arm and shouted excitedly.
"Lord Richard, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for two days!"
After saying that, she suddenly saw Emily and immediately sized her up in surprise.
"Centaur?"
Emily's eyes widened when an unfamiliar human girl held her father's arm. She stepped forward and hugged Richard's other hand.
She glared at the other party, unwilling to be outdone.
"This is my father!"
"Father? Father?"
Christy's face became supremely odd. She tilted her head and looked at Richard with a strange expression.
It was like she said, 'You're this kind of person. You won't let go of the centaurs, but...'
How exciting.
A girl who was obedient on the outside but rebellious on the inside had never been a person who followed the rules.
