Chapter 1058 589: Twilight City Upgrades, War Begins [1/2]
While Solan City was in a frenzy because of the Elven Music Box, Twilight City was not idle either.
Because today, he had finally fulfilled the requirements to upgrade to a big city.
[Ding~ Upgrading from a level 3 medium city to a level 1 large-scale city requires: gold, wood, stone, iron, 10,000,000 units each (satisfied); 100,000 units of crystals, gemstones, mercury, and sulfur (fulfilled); 50,000 people (satisfied); five special-grade technologies (satisfied); scorpion warriors, stone statues of the dead, king of the imperial troop, sand condensation archers, Guardian mummies; 20 hero units (satisfied)]
"You have met all the current conditions. Do you want to level up?"
Richard looked at the system notification and felt a long-lost excitement.
It wasn't easy!
They would have been stuck for a while if not for the tens of thousands of people from Ell.
He chose to confirm.
A yellow light instantly enveloped Twilight City.
The rule forces modified the buildings in the city and were arduous to spy on.
The upgrading of the city would take 20 hours. Richard temporarily sent the city residents to the Eternal Land.
The troop had also left their posts and guarded everything outside the city.
Richard stayed near. He stood before the northern wall. He silently watched the private city that belonged to him.
The sun rose, the moon set, the sunset, and the moon rose.
The light that enveloped Twilight City finally dissipated after 20 hours.
Richard was like a puppet. It was like one gave it a soul. He immediately perked up.
He stared at the city in front of him.
The originally 30-meter-tall city wall had once again expanded to a height of more than 35 meters.
He could feel that the thickness of the city wall had increased enormously.
Twilight City was like a ferocious beast that crawled on the ground under the moonlight. That gave people a strong visual impact.
[Ding~ The system upgraded Twilight City to a level 1 city. The Lord's Mansion has expanded by 100 and the territory by 2,000. The current open space is 2,050 slots."
[Ding~ Something has released the upper limit of territory buildings. You can freely consume resources to upgrade them. The system has unlocked the upper limit of technology. You can freely research various technologies.]
Richard's emotions were a little complicated as the system notification rang out.
It had been more than a year, and Twilight City had finally upgraded from a small city to a large city!
Thinking back on the various encounters he had had during this period, he could not help but sigh.
Richard calmed down. He continued to consume resources to level up without hesitation.
He completed the upgrade on May 17th.
[Ding~ The system has upgraded Twilight City to a level 2 city. The Lord's Mansion has expanded by 200 and the territory by 3,000. The current open space is 5,050 slots."
[Ding~ The system has upgraded Twilight City to a level 1 city. The Lord's Mansion has expanded by 300 and the territory by 5,000 slots. The current open space is 10,050 slots.]
Richard floated into the sky and looked down from above after the system notification sounded.
The inner city, densely covered by various buildings, now had large empty spaces.
The tight feeling had become loose. Now, there were only buildings in the city, and the surroundings were empty.
Fortunately, the archer towers were classified as city defense buildings and still stood behind the city wall.
Richard smiled brightly.
He would fill this extra space soon.
A strong sense of accomplishment rose in his heart.
That was his territory, his true personal wealth.
He calmed down. He opened the territory's attribute panel and looked at the requirements for the next upgrade.
"Requirements for upgrading a large city: 10 million units of four rare resources, five master-level technologies, 200,000 population, 100 heroes."
Richard shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He was okay with the other aspects. But the master-level technology was tiring.
He has allocated generous resources to technology in the past two months. He couldn't quickly provide for a few technology requirements.
He landed on the ground again and looked at the excited Karu. Karu stood beside several echelons of Twilight City.
"I have completed the upgrade. Inform the residents to return."
"Get the construction department to the next construction plan as soon as possible."
"Chaos is coming. Twilight City needs a stronger defense. I hope our city can become an impregnable city!!"
Twilight City was the foundation of everything. He still had the Eternal Land as a retreat route. The Eternal City was still under construction. He could not afford to have any problems.
"Lord, this is also our common wish!"
Master Karu was so excited that his face turned red.
As the first resident to join Twilight City, his contribution to the city was no less than anyone else's.
The anticipation in his heart naturally grew stronger.
"Go and make the arrangements."
Richard's voice had barely faded when a few black dots flew over from afar.
A moment later, a few stone statues of the dead landed before him.
One of them knelt on one knee and handed him a secret letter with both hands.
"Lord, there's an urgent message from Mister Vale."
Richard's eyes narrowed, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. He immediately reached out to take it and quickly read it.
He sighed and handed the letter to Karu.
Butler Karu quickly finished reading, and his face turned serious.
"The enemies reorganized the cult's troops. They could launch their final attack on the Crimson Moon tomorrow…"
"My Lord, a great change is about to occur. We need to speed up our preparations."
Richard was silent.
He pondered for a long time. He slowly said, "Fortress City, how many alchemical bombs and giant cannons are in full production?"
