Chapter 1040 579: Explosive Soldiers, Explosive Soldiers! [3/3]
It would be monumentally mighty. It could withstand all attacks!
That required troops, heroes, city defenses, technology, talents, and countless resources!
The growth of a force must be all-rounded. It was impossible to strengthen one aspect alone.
That would leave too many shortcomings. The chances of danger would enormously increase amidst changes.
At this point, Richard took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
He pondered for a while. He opened the attribute panel and looked at the rare resources column.
He had asked every guild that joined the Ell Players Association to hand over 100,000 units of rare resources.
This amount of resources went straight into his pocket.
Three thousand five hundred guilds. That was 350 million units.
He currently has 380 million units of rare resources, including the net income from the past two months.
That was an astronomical figure!
Rare resources exceeded 100 million for the first time since the establishment of Twilight City.
The current price of an ordinary-level troop lair was two units of rare resources.
One would need ten ordinary troop lairs to reach the elite-level. One would need 100 troops lairs to upgrade from elite to rare. One would need 1,000 troop lairs for advanced-level. Ten thousand troop lairs are necessary for glorious-level. One hundred thousand troop lairs for crown-level. One million for radiant moon-level and twenty million for transcendence.
In other words, he could upgrade to 18.5 with these 380 million resources, even if it were a transcendent troop!
It would be 185 if they were radiant moon soldiers!!
This exaggerated number made Richard smile even more brightly.
It had been a long time since he had been so wealthy!
He looked at the nested column in a carefree mood.
That was the last round of reinforcement, and he had promoted all the troops in Twilight City to crown-level.
There was no war, and the troops had enormously increased in the past two months.
1. Scorpion Warrior (20 lairs, weekly production of 140) Current Quantity: 1210→2330
2. Guardian Mummy (3 lairs, weekly production of 30) Current Quantity: 210→450
3. Sand Condensation Archer (10 lairs, weekly production of 50) Current Quantity: 885→1285
4. Sandstorm Controller (20 lairs, weekly production of 100) Current Quantity: 1100→1900
5. Stone Statue of the Dead (20 lairs, weekly production of 200) Current Quantity: 1600→3200
6. Guardian Mummy (10 lairs, weekly production of 100) Current Quantity: 900→1700
7. King of the Imperial Troop (13 lairs, weekly production of 130) Current Quantity: 680→1720
Skeleton Blood Dragon
Radiant Moon Troop
King of the Imperial Troop (3 lairs, weekly production of 30) Current Quantity: 270→510
Transcendent Troop
Dragon Wings (3 lairs, weekly production of 30) Current Quantity 90→330
Richard had spent 20 million rare resources to recruit these troops.
Twilight City could make generous money. Recruitment must have sucked one dry.
He prepared for this advancement.
Scorpion Warriors, Guardian Mummies, Sand Condensation Archers, and Guardian Mummies were enough to have the crown. There was no need to upgrade them.
He needed to use these resources in the most precious places.
His gaze fell on the remaining crown troop lairs.
They were the Sandstorm Controller (20 lairs), Stone Statue of the Dead (20), and King of the Imperial Troop (13).
There were 53 troop lairs.
This time, he wanted to upgrade all of them to radiant moon-level.
Richard had also prepared additional troop lairs to advanced-level lairs of the Stone Statue of the Dead, 30 of the Sandstorm Controller, and 37 of the King of the Imperial Troop.
There were 97 of them.
He had to upgrade 150 lairs, including the 53.
Richard was still a little excited even though he had prepared this.
One hundred fifty of them! All of them were radiant moons! The players would explode if they knew about this!
Glory was an elite team, and he already played radiant moon. What would those players think?
Richard took a few deep breaths. He unhesitatingly went to the [Trading Market] to buy goods.
The [Trading Market] of low-level troops did not decrease, although the players's strength had enormously increased compared to when they first entered the "Shining Era." Instead, the increase became a trend.
The low-level soldiers could not fight. A leader could use them as laborers or guards. Moreover, the undead players would recruit low-level soldiers to kill and recruit skeletons.
Therefore, the price had been stable.
Search and purchase according to the conditions. Those who met the requirements could do both.
One had used them after Richard set the purchase rules, although he had hundreds of millions of rare resources.
The system had reduced the millions of pages of ordinary troop lairs on the market to one-tenth. That surprised many professional merchant players.
Question marks engulfed their faces. It was like they saw a ghost!
Twenty million rare resources remained with one hundred troop lairs in hand. Richard would need to use them to recruit soldiers after they advanced.
Richard felt more confident than ever.
In his excitement, he immediately started working. He promoted all the lairs after he settled the new ones.
The storage space shrank rapidly. Richard used up 150 million crystals. Only 30 million crystals remained.
Lights flickered in the front yard of the Lord's Mansion.
The Lord's Mansion couldn't accommodate several soldiers if it weren't for the item he had obtained from the obelisk of Ell. This treasure expanded the space by 1,000 slots.
He had expanded the front yard by 100 slots to place the troop lairs.
The light dissipated after ten minutes.
Five-to-six-meter-tall and seven-to-eight-meter-tall lairs appeared before him.
It was like a forest of trees.
This promotion had increased troop lairs in Richard's hands.
He could recruit level 15 crown troop lair–Scorpion Warrior (10), Guardian Mummy (3), Sand Condensation Archers (10), and Guardian Mummy (10).
He could recruit 150 radiant moon troop lairs with an initial level of 17–Dead Stone Statue, Sandstorm Controller, and King of the Imperial Troop.
He resources that could recruit level 20 transcendent troops.
Richard briefly reckoned. He was in a good mood.
These were the capital that allowed Twilight City to survive.
However, the soldiers were inadequate.
Richard opened the Black Gold System. A new ability appeared from the last upgrade of this system. It could nurture a selected troop lairs. Their levels were one level lower than the target.
That was how the system promoted the 37 royal guards.
Richard unhesitatingly consumed the remaining 30 million lairs and threw them all on the evil dragon wings.
Fifteen 1-star Radiant Moon Evil Dragon Wing lairs appeared before him with a surge of energy.
Richard opened the attribute panel and glanced. Perhaps because the prototype was a transcendent soldier, the 1-star Radiant Moon Evil Dragon Wing lairs still had a level 16 initial level for recruiting soldiers.
The ability of the evil dragon wings as meat shields was still impressive, although one couldn't compare to the other Radiant Moon troops. That was what he was most satisfied with.
The number of Radiant Moon lairs rose to 165.
Richard calmed down. He unhesitatingly recruited two weeks' worth of production from the newly promoted 30 stone statues of the dead, 30 sandstorm controllers, 37 kings of the imperial troop, and 15 evil dragon wings.
A total of 1,940. Each radiant moon soldier recruitment required 8,000 units of rare resources.
The total was 15.52 million.
He used up the last ten million rare resources in his hands.
Richard looked at the troop that left the mansion. The smile on his face never faded.
That was what a f*cking violent soldier!
He had a few months to save up. He wanted to ask, who else?!
