Chapter 39: Chapter 38: How Dare You Touch My Daughter…
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
With the doubt that he did not notice the other players, Richard fell asleep.
There was too scant information, and Richard could not figure out why.
The next day, before he woke up, the leader of the fire dragon rabbit breeding base, Green Tooth, brought the other 19 desert gnome underlings and two bandaged mummies to the Russian olive forest.
“Great Lord, Green Tooth! Are we going to breed fire dragon rabbits here?”
Green Tooth, who was extremely skinny among the desert gnomes, turned his head to look at the green desert gnome who asked the question and spoke proudly.
“What do you know! Just follow me.”
“Also, remember, in the future, the word ‘great’ can only be used to address Lord Richard. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Lord Green Tooth!”
The group of desert gnomes quickly responded, and one of them asked with an apologetic smile.
“Lord Green Tooth, how should we address you then?”
Green Tooth thought for a moment, and its eyes lit up when it saw that its body was distinctly weaker than the other desert gnomes.
“In the future, you will address me as Strongest Lord Green Tooth!”
The group of desert gnomes was silent for three seconds, and then they looked at the two ferocious-looking mummies standing behind him, and suddenly became alert.
Each of them shouted louder than the last.
“Yes, Strongest Lord Green Tooth!”
Looking at his companions, who were all one head taller than him, Green Tooth was very satisfied.
With his hands behind his back, he strode forward and lectured the desert gnomes.
“Listen up, the great, noble, and benevolent Lord Richard bestowed me with a name and appointed me as the leader of the honorable fire dragon rabbit breeding base. This is a historic scene. This is an unprecedented opportunity for desert gnomes.
Green Tooth added, “Today, I will lead you to create a new situation for the breeding industry and lay the foundation for the future development of Twilight City. In the future, we, desert gnomes will become Lord Richard’s number one troop and sacrifice everything for him! I will let the reputation of the desert gnomes spread throughout the desert! No one can stop the rise of our desert gnomes… Applause!”
‘Clap! Clap! Clap!’
After a round of enthusiastic applause, Green Tooth waved his withered tree branch-like hand.
He led a group of desert gnomes to about 500 meters north of the Russian olive forest.
Looking at the dune depression in the middle of the dune depression in front of them, he nodded in satisfaction.
Green Tooth began to issue orders.
“The few of you, go, dig up the dragon leaf grass and plant the dragon leaf grass in this area. The few of you, go, fetch water and wet this entire area. The few of you, go, dig up the purple vines and thorns and surround the surrounding hills!”
He reminded, “Remember, we must complete the mission today. We must not let Lord Richard down!”
Green Tooth was awe-inspiring as he proudly commanded its underlings.
Its appearance was even more arrogant than a knight riding a dragon.
“Strongest Lord Green Tooth, we don’t have enough people…”
The desert gnomes looked acrid.
“Not enough? Ask… ahem, ask Lord Karu to send reinforcements.”
Green Tooth, fortunately, knew that Karu’s status was not something he could compare to.
“Yes, Strongest Lord Green Tooth!”
Not long after, Karu sent 30 people to help Green Tooth with his work.
This time, Green Tooth did not stand at the ceremony and directly gave the orders.
When the people saw the two mummies beside Green Tooth, even if they were unhappy about being commanded by a stupid desert gnome, they still obediently followed the order.
That was Lord Richard’s troop.
After a busy morning, by lunchtime, the area where the fire dragon rabbits will be raised had already begun to take shape.
It was quite efficient.
It was rare for Richard to sleep in. After waking up, he ate lunch with the kitchen maids. When he heard that the fire dragon rabbit breeding base had taken shape, he immediately brought a large group of troops to check it out.
The residents of the territory immediately saw the new troop beside Richard—the cursed pharaoh.
Their eyes splendidly bulged.
“Did you see that? The number of mummies beside Lord Richard has increased by a lot, and there are even new troops!”
“You don’t know about that, right? There are already five troop lairs in the Lord’s mansion! I saw it when I went to clean up!”
“That’s great!”
“Praise the gods, praise Lord Richard!”
As the ruler of Twilight City and the protector of the territory, the stronger he was, the safer the residents would be.
Everyone knew this, so they sincerely hoped that Twilight City would be strong and that Richard would be strong.
When Richard arrived at the busy fire dragon rabbit breeding base, his presence immediately aroused the excitement of the crowd.
Everyone had the feeling of a higher-up inspecting the results of their work.
The sharp-eyed Green Tooth was the first to run over.
“Great Lord, good day! The fire dragon rabbit breeding base is already being set up. It will be completed today…”
Richard nodded and scanned the surrounding area.
The area that Green Tooth had chosen was about 300 meters in diameter. It was slightly sunken by two to three meters, which was not a lot.
There were sand dunes surrounding this area.
At this time, half of the area on the sand dunes had been planted with a kind of purple thorn vine with sharp barbs.
And in the center, more than ten gnomes were planting the dragon leaf grass with very unique leaves.
At this rate, they would be done before dark.
Turning his head to look at this gnome, whose body was so small that it made people feel comical but its spirit was simply admirable, Richard nodded.
“You did well. Keep working hard.”
“After the breeding base is built, the fire dragon rabbit will be handed over to you to manage.”
After Green Tooth was praised, he smiled so much that the back of his teeth was almost visible.
With its head held high and chest puffed out, it patted its chest hard to ensure that it would complete the mission.
Richard was afraid that the skinny little body of Green Tooth would break its bones.
At this time, Karu had also arrived. Richard did not wait for him to bow and said directly.
“When the troop of Twilight City is strong enough, I will leave a small team of bandaged mummies to guard this side of the Russian olive forest. They will guard the safety of the fire dragon rabbit breeding place and desert bees in the Russian olive forest day and night.”
“At the same time, this area is designated as a restricted agricultural area.”
“Except for the authorized corresponding staff, outsiders are not allowed to enter.”
“Karu, you will be in charge of this matter.”
Richard had this idea when he chose the location for the Russian olive forest.
He would place all the agriculture-related areas in this area, unify the management, unify the planning, and at the same time, share the water source.
Sending troops to the station was also something that should be done.
More than half of the seven-day safety period had passed, and there were only two days left.
If they met a group of bandits and got robbed or the precious resources were burned, then Richard’s city would suffer a huge loss.
Although the territory was not far away, it still needed time to guard vigilantly.
“Yes, Lord. I will personally take charge of this area. There will not be any mistakes!”
Karu’s tone was serious. This area was the foundation of Twilight City. If there were any problems, nothing should happen here.
Desert bees, Russian olive forest, fire dragon rabbits…
Although the number was a bit scant, it had already formed the foundation.
In the future, as long as Richard continued to invest more, he was very confident that his territory would be built into a true oasis, becoming the crown of the Deadly Desert.
After making sure that there was no problem here, Richard went to the Russian olive forest to take a look.
After a few days of growth, the Russian olive forest was now lush and green. It had nurtured trees that were two heads taller than an adult.
Some Russian olive trees were even starting to show flower buds.
Although there were only a few, it was foreseeable that flowers would bloom here soon.
Stepping into the center of the Russian olive forest, the air suddenly cooled down.
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
The sound of bees dancing together with the green leaves immediately made Richard feel happy.
After carefully observing for a while, these little bees lived very comfortably in the honeycomb made by the carpenter.
When Richard got closer, those black and yellow little bees began to dance around him to show their intimacy.
“Gather honey well. I’m still waiting to taste your rare honey.”
After sending out a wave of capitalist anticipation, a sound could be heard.
‘Weng! Weng! Weng!’
Suddenly, all the bees began to roar. From this sound, Richard felt intense fear.
“The bees were afraid?”
Richard turned his head and looked around in confusion.
A moment later, 3 or 4 giant wasps with long stingers, about 7 to 8 centimeters long, quickly descended from the sky.
They flew to the entrance of the honeycomb of the desert bees.
When the bees heard the sound of the wasps flapping their wings, the noise they made became even louder.
One of the wasps stabbed a bee with its stinger right in front of Richard. It directly nailed a bee to death. Then, it carried the bee and prepared to fly away.
Richard was instantly enraged.
“You brat! How dare you touch my daughter… Bah… Bee!”
“Open attribute panel.”
