Global Lord: Start As A Desert Lord

After upgrading the Scorpion Warrior, Richard is in a good mood.

This feeling of watching the strength in his hands increase little by little, simply fascinated him.

Upgrade the spring water, upgrade the territory, upgrade the poisonous scorpion Warrior, a busy morning.

When he was free, it was already half past one noon.

Just after lunch, several ugly long-armed laborers were brought into the hall by the bandaged mummies guarding the lord's mansion.

The other party's face was terrified and flustered, as if he had been greatly frightened.

"Master... something is wrong!!"

His tone was sharp because he was too tense.

Richard's eyes froze when he saw the appearance of the long-armed peon.

"What happened?"

The other party hurriedly reported, "When we were mining iron ore this morning, a group of ghosts suddenly appeared outside the mine...it was terrible..."

Ghosts attacked the iron mines?

Richard's eyes lit up.

He didn't care about resource points, but these ghosts that suddenly appeared made him very interested.

It might be another accident.

Don't these accidents represent tasks and benefits?

"Besides ghosts, are there other enemies?"

"I don't know..." Several hard workers shook their heads repeatedly, "We evacuated immediately after we found the ghost."

"You lead the way, I will handle it myself."

"Yes, master..."

The morale of the long-armed peons was immediately boosted.

After Richard summoned the army, he gave the order to set off without delay, and the long-armed laborers led the way panting heavily.

half an hour later.

On a towering sand dune, Richard stared at the iron mine two hundred meters away, frowning slightly.

Even if you don't get close, you can feel that this iron mine is different from the normal state. It is cold everywhere, and it looks creepy.

Open the properties panel.

[Introduction]: The iron mine occupied by the undead.

Haunted Iron Mine?

Richard's interest was heightened, and the sudden appearance of these ghosts seemed not so simple.

Occupy the iron mine first, and then explore the reason.

with a wave.

"Army ready for battle."

"Keep the formation and advance towards the iron ore."

Two squads of Scorpion Warriors guarded the front in two rows, one and a half squads of Deadman's Axes kept a distance of 20 meters from them, and the cursed Pharaoh was at the end.

The Iron Triangle soon reached the edge of the iron mine, and Richard was at the end, keeping his eyes on the iron mine, ready to give orders at any time.

Roar~

A shrill roar sounded like dozens of dying people suddenly.

The ghosts of five teams suddenly appeared in the slightly gloomy iron mine.

These ghosts have the appearance of human beings, floating in the air ten centimeters above the ground, exuding faint blue light all over their bodies.

The body is translucent, and the face is very blurred and distorted.

It's gloomy.

"The whole army attacks, leaving no one behind!"

Accompanied by cold orders.

The poisonous scorpion Warrior immediately charged forward, and the two iron pincers were fierce.

The battle ax in Ax of the Dead was also thrown out at the same time.

huh~

The battle ax made a violent piercing sound, and the ghosts floating in the air couldn't avoid it.

Kacha~ It was directly blasted by a huge force, like a fragile crystal falling to the ground.

The high amount of magic damage made this group of undead, who were immune to 50% physical damage, feel the iron fist of Twilight City.

The Ax of the Dead killed two teams in a single attack.

There is still an insurmountable gap between being immune to 50% physical damage and being immune to 99% desertification.

The scorpion Warrior let out a low growl.

The iron tongs opened and puffed~ directly piercing the ghosts rushing in front.

Like a knife cutting through gel and jelly, there is a distinct resistance.

Kacha~ The iron tongs closed and directly tore a large body of these undead.

Shh~

The poisonous scorpion Warrior's scorpion tail pierced through like lightning at this moment.

The moment he stabbed the ghost, the poison of the scorpion tail spread out.

The ghost's translucent body immediately glowed with blue light, and the body fell into a state of paralysis, unable to move.

Puff~ The iron tongs waved again, completely tearing apart the opponent's body.

Under the pressure of several levels of strength higher than the opponent, the battle ended quickly.

The cursed pharaoh didn't make a move until the end, and the elite ghosts of the five teams were wiped out.

"Ding~ The army you led wiped out a group of ghosts and won a mini-battle. You gained 100 experience points."

"Ding~ You recovered the iron mine that was robbed by ghosts, do you want to reoccupy it?"

confirm.

After making a choice, the haunted iron mine just now turned into a normal iron mine, and the eerie aura disappeared without a trace.

Richard couldn't help being a little puzzled when he saw that the mission was not triggered.

Where did these ghosts come from?

Immediately called the imposing long-armed peon from behind, and asked again.

The peon shook his head, "Master, we don't know either, we only know in which direction the ghost we saw first appeared..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the north side of the iron mine ↑, and then he was a little scared.

"Master, could it be that there is a city of undead over there..."

He does not mean that.

Richard's eyes lit up.

This is not impossible.

If there really is a city of the undead, this wave is coming.

After getting them back to work, head to the north immediately with the army ↑.

At the same time, spread out the troops in a fan shape.

It didn't take long for Richard to encounter an unexpected situation.

In front of him is a gathering place of wild troops, but this gathering place has been slaughtered.

What surprised him even more was that there was a lot of flesh and blood on the sand, but there were no bones.

It seems that the bones have been pulled out by life.

"Is this... a summoned skeleton?"

Richard was thoughtful.

"Summoning skeletons is the signature skill of the undead. Knowing how to kill wild monsters to gather an army, it seems that the undead around here are not weak."

"Could it be possible that there are undead cities?"

The interest in my heart is stronger.

Continuing to explore further, within half an hour, he found seven or eight gathering places of troops that had been slaughtered.

And without exception, their skeletons were all missing.

There are even a few arms gathering places that don't even have corpses, leaving only traces of battle.

"No wonder everyone says undead rogues. If this is given to an undead lord to develop secretly for a period of time, how many brigades of troops can't be accumulated?"

Although the strength of the skeleton soldiers is not strong, but if thousands of skeleton soldiers are really needed, few lords can bear it at this stage.

The aggressiveness shown by this unknown undead force also made Richard feel threatened.

If he can attack his iron mine today, the other party will dare to attack Twilight City tomorrow.

The undead are not a good camp, and there is no negotiation at all in the fight.

Raise your vigilance to the highest level and continue to explore.

It didn't take long for the army to discover the traces of the undead left in the desert, and it seemed that they had just passed by.

Richard regained his spirits and accelerated his pace.

After another half an hour, the scorpion Warrior who was looking ahead suddenly reported...they found the enemy.

"Finally found......"

Richard was overjoyed, and gathered the troops scattered around, and came to the place where the scorpion Warrior was.

Under the cover of the sand dunes, following their guidance, they saw the target of pursuit.

It is completely different from the territory or undead city he imagined. In front of him is an iron mine that has been mostly mined.

Ore is scattered all over the place.

A large number of skeleton warriors are patrolling the iron mines, probably more than 3 squadrons.

At this time, two squadrons of Skeleton Warriors were slowly coming from the desert, and they carried some corpses into the iron mine.

Not long after, it disappeared from Richard's sight.

He followed the direction where the skeleton Warrior disappeared and found that there was a hole leading to the ground in the central area of ​​the iron mine.

"That undead city, built underground?"
