Global Lords: Start as a Desert Lord

"Master, do you need to send some troops to guard the underground passage?"

Gray looked at the army passing through the two-way portal and hesitated.

"The underground passage is not hidden, if the gray dwarf launches revenge."

In the past few days, Twilight City has been rampant in the underground world.

How much wealth they plundered from the gray dwarves, the depth of the other's hatred for them.

Li Cha shook his head.

"Let the bloody mummy stationed here continue to be vigilant. If there are enemies coming, it is enough to notify Treebeard in advance."

Sending troops to garrison does not have much effect.

If you send too much, Twilight City won't be able to bear it; if you send too little, you won't be able to deal with the enemy.

There is an ancient tree of evil stationed on the other side of the two-way portal.

The other party wants to go to the surface through the teleportation array, purely to deliver food.

Moreover, the two-way portal is protected by space energy, so even the extraordinary hunters cannot destroy it, and they are not afraid that the other party will destroy the portal.

Graydon said nothing more.

After making simple arrangements, Li Cha watched the last skeletal blood dragon leave without hesitation.

Let Alves under the seat restrain his wings, and walked through the portal with a short body.

After a slight obstacle was penetrated, Li Cha's eyes appeared in front of the tall body of the ancient tree of evil.

There was a smile on his face.

This feeling of stepping across a hundred miles is really good.

It's a pity that the two-line portal is a 4-star treasure, which is hard to come by.

Otherwise, getting a dozen or so will definitely greatly expand the sphere of influence of Twilight City.

After instructing the evil ancient tree to guard the two-way portal, Li Cha returned to the city of dusk with the army.

The sun was about to sink into the earth at this time, and the orange-red sunset shone on his body, covering him with a layer of eye-catching armor.

Coupled with that exceptionally outstanding temperament, it is eye-catching.

Especially those young female residents in the city, when they saw Li Cha, their faces turned red and their eyes were full of light.

I want to take a closer look, but I'm a little too shy to look more.

After Li Cha dismissed the army, he did not return to the lord's mansion, but went directly to the blacksmith's shop.

"Master Li Cha, come back~"

When An Daier saw Li Cha, she immediately showed a bit of surprise on her face, and subconsciously touched the sweat on her forehead.

I didn't notice that there was some dust on my hands, leaving a conspicuous mark on my face.

But with that lovely face, it is a little more playful.

"I'm back, this time the harvest is good."

Seeing the girl's smile, Li Cha felt better.

"How is the forging of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow?"

Andrea said lightly.

"The preliminary preparations have been completed. As long as the rare resources are in place, we can forge 5 dragon hunting crossbows within three days."

As a 4-star treasure, the Dragon Hunting Crossbow has always been regarded by Richard as a killer existence.

This thing was developed for hunting giant dragons, and its lethality can be imagined.

In the dungeon that will be opened soon, there will be a powerful boss without thinking.

He may not be able to stop the opponent at that time, it is necessary to create a perfect defense system for Twilight City.

The Dragon Hunting Crossbow exists for hunting bosses.

This big killer is strong, but the required resources are also exaggerated - 5000 units of mercury, 5000 units of sulfur, 5000 units of crystal, 1000 units of refined iron, the fascia of a dragon or hybrid dragon above level 15, special grade blacksmith.

Thinking of this, he glanced at his attribute panel, and most of the feeling of getting rich suddenly disappeared in his heart.

Niangle, I went to the underground world to plunder, but in the end it was only enough to forge three or five dragon hunting crossbows.

I don't know if the underground world is too poor, or this thing is really expensive.

But the 4-star level treasure, the level is here, there is nothing to say.

"I'll give you 10,000 units each of mercury, sulfur, and crystal, and forge two for the time being."

One Hurricane Arrow tower has been built, and two more are under construction.

There are three arrow towers, at least one dragon hunting crossbow should be placed in each tower.

Together with the one that was forged before, only three can be made up now.

"Forge 6 dragon-hunting crossbows first, and the resources will be given to you."

The dragon hunting crossbow is relatively cheap, requiring 500 units of crystal, 500 units of sulfur, 500 units of mercury, and 100 units of refined iron.

But as consumables, crossbow bolts are expensive enough.

As a result, this wave directly consumed 39,000 units, and the rare resources in their hands immediately plummeted.

Gems: 12329 units

Mercury: 41320 units

Sulfur: 412 units

Crystal: 19306 units

Other resources are still sufficient, but the sulfur is seriously insufficient, and it is impossible to continue to increase the amount.

Li Cha had a headache.

"Twilight City's financial resources are not yet able to use the dragon hunting arrows wantonly, so you need to create some ordinary heavy crossbows to use with them."

Andaier said with a little admiration.

"It doesn't matter, my lord. You can develop the Twilight City so strong in just three months, which is already amazing enough."

"These difficulties are only temporary and I believe they will all be resolved eventually."

Looking at that trusting gaze, Li Cha felt warm in his heart.

He stretched out his hand and pinched the girl's face, wiping away the marks on her face.

Looking at the other party's face flushed, with shy eyes, he laughed.

"Have you found any apprentices who have the potential to become heroes in the past two days?"

An Dai'er is currently busy with tasks and cannot spare time to research and develop technology.

It is imperative to train a second blacksmith.

One of the conditions for Twilight City to upgrade from a third-level small city to a mid-city is that it needs to have advanced technology.

But at present, the technology of Twilight City has been stuck for a long time, and until now there are only three primary technologies.

When An Daier heard this, her eyes moved slightly, and she hesitated.

"Master Li Cha, among the last batch of residents who joined Twilight City, there is indeed one with good potential."

Li Cha frowned.

"Why, the other party is unwilling to join the blacksmith shop?"

Andelle shook her head.

"No, it's not for this reason, but the other party only has one arm."

Only one arm?

Li Cha was stunned.

an arm? How did the other party hit the iron?

Although he intends to train him to be a hero who studies technology full-time, forging is the root of the profession of blacksmith after all.

Regardless of the industry, losing an arm is more difficult than normal people.

Not to mention the blacksmith industry.

And it's not just Li Cha who has the same doubts.

Everyone around Sam is puzzled by his choice.

It is simply too difficult for a person with a disabled arm to choose the profession of blacksmithing.

"Sam, I heard you were hired by the blacksmith shop?"

Sam, who just came back from the blacksmith shop, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his right hand, looked at the aunt with a sigh in front of him, and nodded with a smile.

"Aunt Mary, that's right."

"Master Andair hired me."

Aunt Marie said with some distress.

"Stupid boy, what's wrong with you, you have to go to blacksmith."

"You only have alas."

"If you are not used to it, go to the agricultural area and work with me to take care of the jujube forest and samlet. Thanks to the trust of the lord, I am responsible for managing the agricultural area, and I am recruiting people now."

That round face like a red apple is very kind at this time.

Sam was very grateful. The lord aunt had helped them a lot these days.

"Thank you, Aunt Marie, but now that I am a member of the blacksmith shop, I won't bother you."

He spoke in a serious tone.

"I like the profession of blacksmithing, and I like the feeling of forging ore into agricultural tools and weapons."

Said the eyes and turned his head tenderly to glance at the room.

"Also, Shanna likes me being a blacksmith."

Hearing this, Aunt Marie sighed again.

"You are a good boy, Shanna is also a blessed person"

Before I finished speaking, babble~ the door opened.

A freckled girl in a denim skirt appeared at the door.

On the other side, he looks thin due to long-term lack of nutrition.

What is surprising is that the other party's wide eyes did not focus at all when facing the two people at the door.

Like the eyes of a mechanical puppet.

The girl pushed open the door and faced the side where neither of them were there.

"Sam, are you back?"

"I just heard Aunt Marie's voice, Aunt Marie, are you there?"

His tone was a bit light like a sparrow.

Seeing this, Aunt Marie felt even more distressed.

"Sanna, I'm here."

Hearing the sound, the girl leaned on the wall and turned around cautiously.

"Aunt Marie, good afternoon, thank you for the dates you sent last time, they are delicious."

Those eyes were still out of focus.

Aunt Marie stepped forward, supported her, and said softly.

"I like to eat and I will bring more next time."

After speaking, he turned to look at Sam.

"Your sweetheart Shan went to the blacksmith shop to apply for a job today, and he has already been hired. From now on, he will work for the lord. This is a decent job."

"The lord attaches great importance to the blacksmith shop."

Hearing this, the girl's face was full of surprise, and she turned her face in the direction of the sound just now, but she couldn't face Sam.

"Sam, is this true? You were hired by the blacksmith shop? Will you be able to work for the lord in the future?"

Sam's throat suddenly seemed to be blocked by something.

Nod hard.

"Shanna, that's right! I've been hired by the blacksmith shop, and I can get a salary every month!"

"In the future, we don't need to accept relief from the lord anymore, and we can earn money to buy food by ourselves."

The girl clapped her hands and said happily.

"Great! Sam, I knew you could do it~"

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said cautiously.

"They...didn't say anything to you, did they?"

Sam shook his head.

"No, Shanna, the adults in the blacksmith shop value me very much, and they have no objection to me because I am missing an arm!"

Aunt Marie suddenly felt a little sore when she heard this.

How could it be so easy for an ordinary person with a broken arm to join the blacksmith shop with the highest status in Twilight City.

Thinking of this, I feel inexplicably proud in my heart.

This is Twilight City, not any other city.

With Mr. Li Cha around, as long as he has the ability, he will not be discriminated against.

"Yes, Sam is a capable boy."

"Sanna, don't worry, this is the city of twilight, the city of twilight ruled by Mr. Richard! No one dares to do such a thing!"

"And with me here, who dares to bully Sam, I will support him!"

The girl smiled instantly.

"Thank you, Aunt Mary~"

After speaking, he turned his head to Sam's direction again, and this time he was finally facing him.

The tone is serious.

"Sam, the Twilight City is a territory worth protecting, and the Lord Lord's kindness to us is more precious than gold."

"Go to the blacksmith shop, work hard, and contribute to the dusk city and the lord."

"If there is no Twilight City, maybe we would have died when we broke the temple."

"We have transferred so many territories, have you ever seen a territory that values ​​our ordinary residents as much as Twilight City?"

"Here, we are not discriminated against or oppressed, and we are assigned a warm and safe house and get enough food"

"This is a great kindness, without Twilight City, perhaps, we will never find a home where we can live in peace."

"Sam, I know that without me, you will definitely live a better life. So I hope that even if one day I am gone, you can live a good life."

"Your talent doesn't stop there, you can shine in the city of dusk."

Sam looked at the serious girl in front of him, his eyes turned red quietly.

The other party's eyes were still lacking energy at the moment, but they were as bright as stars in his eyes.

That night he was summoned to the lord's mansion.

Subsequently, the second blacksmith was born in Twilight City.

The young man with only one arm left silently knelt down in front of the gate and kowtowed nine times after leaving the lord's mansion.

Silently made a vow in his heart, in this life, he will only do it for Shanna and Twilight City

"Ding~Deadman's Ax intermediate attack, estimated development time: 20 days, estimated resources required: 20,000 gold coins, 20,000 units of stone, 100,000 units of iron ore, success rate: 60%."

Li Cha looked at the system prompt and was in a very good mood.

After more than a month, the technology research of Twilight City was finally launched again.

This time, it was no longer his precious Andrea who took on the heavy responsibility, but the blacksmith hero whom he bestowed heroic power on——Sam.

After Li Cha summoned the other party, he was pleasantly surprised to see three characteristics in him - tenacity, intelligence, and hard work.

This Sam is not yet a hero.

The two residents he had previously promoted to heroes had only one characteristic.

No wonder An Daier was so optimistic about each other.

Later, I learned that the blacksmith with only one arm was living alone with a blind girl, and his heart was touched even more.

He found them in the desert. Before the accident, the two planned to cross the desert of death

The two physically disabled people leaned on each other and supported each other, crossing the vast desert.

That feeling, thinking about it, made him silent.

God has deprived them a lot, let him give hope again.

After Sam became a hero, his attributes were really good.

The most outstanding one is one of them - the attribute that increases the success rate of research and development by 20%.

Although it is not as good as An Daier, it is fully capable of taking on the important task of research and development of technology.

After leaving the resources needed for research and development in the blacksmith shop, Richard returned to the lord's mansion.

As soon as he entered the room, the system notification suddenly sounded.

"Ding~ This week is disaster week, the dead are revived, please be prepared."

"Ding~ The troop lair has been refreshed, all lords please recruit by yourself."
