Global Lords: Start as a Desert Lord

A series of system prompts made Richard feel good.

War is always just a means, and the gains after winning the war are the ultimate goal.

The number of troops in the three spider churches is very impressive, and more than 6,000 undead crystals are expected.

But killing the Void Weaver hero possessed by Rose and getting a legendary undead crystal was an unexpected bonus.

What mattered most to him was the last tip. In the opponent's corpse, he obtained a trace of residual divine power.

Divine power, the core power of the gods.

It may be high-end or even out of reach for other players.

But it is not unfamiliar to Richard.

Whether it is the kobold god, the Lord of Decay, the master of the 333rd layer of the abyss, or the statue of the dwarf god hidden in his hand, they all exist at this level.

But unlike others, this ray of divine power belongs to Rose, the Spider Queen.

The evil god who provoked the war among the gods and made the abyss tremble emerged.

The feeling inside is quite different.

After the system prompt sounded, a familiar picture appeared - on the ground, the spider corpses began to turn into green mist, which was attracted and condensed together like a magnet.

When Richard saw this scene, he was a little surprised.

Those spider bodies that had become empty shells after being sucked by the ancient divine tree have now turned into mist.

The main source of necromancy crystals is the soul, not the body?

After staring for a moment, he couldn't see anything. Then, Richard didn't hesitate and looked at the Void Weaver hero possessed by the Spider Queen.

The green mist condensed by the empty corpse was particularly eye-catching.

If you feel it carefully, you can also faintly feel that there is a heart-stopping power brewing in the mist.

The remaining power of the gods.

That ray of remaining divine power is within it.

Richard did not rush forward and waited quietly for the mist to change.

Two or three minutes later, the mist that filled the entire battlefield gradually shrank and turned into undead crystals the size of thumbs.

However, there was no movement in the area where the Void Weaver hero was located.

The surrounding magic is still gathering towards the green mist.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that the mist gradually shrank.

Richard, who had already put other undead crystals into the system space, watched the scene silently.

He waited until there was no more green mist to escape before he stepped forward.

Looking at it carefully, the body of the Void Weaver hero seemed to have been dried for hundreds of years and turned into pieces.

At the position of its head, a colorful bead floats in mid-air.

If you feel it carefully, you can find that the energy surging inside is as violent as a tsunami.

If they were all released, they would probably destroy everything within a hundred meters.

What makes Richard even more excited is that there is a wisp of power exuding endless power lingering on it.

Divine power.

The power left behind by the arrival of Spider Queen Rose in this plane.

As soon as I thought about it, I opened the properties panel.

Spider power

Level: Special

Characteristics: The remaining divine power of Spider Queen Rose can greatly enhance the potential of evil beings and has additional effects on spiders.

Introduction: Divine power is the core power of gods and has endless power.

The potential to greatly enhance evil life?

Richard became somewhat interested.

But he turned around and looked around at the army of undead, and couldn't help but shake his head.

This thing is good, but there are no spiders in Twilight City, so you may not be able to enjoy the extra effect.

But he seemed to have thought of something, and took out a statue the size of a head from the system space.

Collect twelve statues of Spider Queen Rose to form a spider-like unit.

It seems like this thing is already available.

He turned to look at the ancient divine tree on the side.

"Treebeard, where is the statue you captured from the Spider Church?"

Not far away, the ancient divine tree took root on the earth again and swayed its trunk slightly. A thick root suddenly pierced the ground and stood up.

Slowly came to Richard.

"Master, I hid them in the roots of the tree."

The sound of urn and qi fell, and the tree roots spread out to both sides like torn wrapping paper.

Three statues of Rose the Spider Queen were exposed to the air.

Richard felt the evil aura attached to it and nodded with satisfaction.

This wave is okay, and I directly harvested three statues of Spider Queen Rose.

With the one in his hand, he only needs to capture eight more spider churches to combine this special type of spider unit.

Being able to be protected by so many troops, and in a nightmare difficulty dungeon, plus an S-level mission. This unit is worth looking forward to.

The only drawback is that this fierce war failed to raise the army's level by one level.

This defensive battle to protect the Ta Clan's holy land has come to an end.

Richard made some calculations and found out that in terms of harvest - there were more than 6,000 necromantic crystals, plus two gold ones and one legendary one.

In addition, he also received a ray of spider power that can enhance the potential of evil beings.

Coupled with the goodwill of the Tower Clan and the unpaid reward - a heroic stone statue that can bring out a copy.

In terms of losses, Richard glanced around.

This war attracted most of the firepower because the ancient tree of evil appeared in time.

Coupled with the fact that the Twilight City army possesses the magical skill of turning into sand, the besieged troops are still immune to physical damage, and the enemy has given up attacking them.

So after a fierce battle, no losses were caused.

Richard could only lament the power of the desertification skills.

As long as you don't encounter an army with a large number of spell-casting troops, the advantages of Twilight City are simply unmatched.

Defeat all enemies with physical damage.

He didn't know how many times he had lamented the skill of Desert Transformation. The most abnormal thing about this skill was that it could minimize the damage to Twilight City.

Otherwise, based on his previous high-frequency battle experience, the loss of the army alone could plunge Twilight City into poverty.

"Glory Era" is not a safe world. Whether it is players or indigenous people, as long as they start a war, the losses will be huge.

The abnormality of Twilight City is that the desertification skill minimizes its loss, thus saving a huge amount of resources.

This allows Twilight City to no longer have to focus its resources on the army and can develop other areas.

The rapid development of his territory is directly related to this.

After collecting his scattered thoughts, he glanced at the system prompts a few more times.

The conspicuous warning above made many of the joyful emotions in his heart dissipate. This war has aroused the vigilance of the spider army.

No, not only the spider army, but also the spider queen, that extremely terrifying existence.

Fortunately, this is a dungeon. If it were on the main plane, even if the god couldn't come in person, he would still be as big as one head or two.

Thinking of the cruel words the other party said after being sucked dry by the ancient divine tree, Richard frowned.

"The nightmare difficulty of this dungeon is really not enough, let alone the S-level mission of retrieving the heart of the god. Did Rose appear because the two were superimposed?"

The more Richard thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Guarding the Holy Land of the Ta Clan, this unexpected incident is not so easy to accomplish.

There are three spider churches, more than 6,000 level 15 and 16 top troops, and three level 19 heroes leading them. This power can make people feel numb just listening to it.

Not to mention that it led to Rose in the end.

If the ancient tree of evil had not transformed twice and gained the power of evil and a trace of corrupt authority, even if he was in charge of this war, there would have been heavy losses.

If it were other players, they would have to gather the thousands of people who entered this dungeon and let them come to garrison with intact troops, so that they might be able to withstand it.

The difficulty and intensity of this mission are a bit outrageous.

"Your Excellency Richard."

A call from the side interrupted his thoughts. He turned his head and saw the sturdy Popov Black Tower. This level 19 hero was looking at him with enthusiasm.

"That was Rose the Spider Queen's breath just now? Did you drive her away?!!"

When the ancient divine tree was killing everyone, although Popov was amazed by it, it was still within the acceptable range.

But the subsequent development of the situation exceeded his expectations.

The Spider Queen has arrived.

Although the other party is his enemy, the name Rose represents fear.

He thought that this war would end in despair.

But no one could have imagined that in the blink of an eye, the evil giant tree would actually suck up Rose, the Lord of the Abyss, with its terrifying power after the Lord of the Abyss came.

Shake the gods hard!

Outsiders don't know all this, but he knows better than anyone else how much power it takes to do all this! !

That's Rose, the Spider God! !

The ruler of the 500th floor of the Abyss, the main god of all spiders in the entire multidimensional plane, a majestic being who controls evil, darkness, and conspiracy.

Even if the other party is only possessed by a spider, it is not something a mortal can match.

That dark giant tree may be the son of a dark evil god who climbed out of the abyss. The other party definitely has power that can rival the gods! !

"No."

Richard looked at the excited Popov and poured cold water on him.

He stretched out his hand to indicate the three spider churches that had been reduced to ruins.

"The enemy has woken up, and the next war will be more difficult."

"The Spider Queen will definitely appear again."

The god of conspiracy must retaliate if he bites his teeth, and if the other party doesn't come back with revenge, it's definitely not in line with his character.

There was a bit of complexity on his face.

Perhaps, this is the beginning of the S-class mission, and every next step may face a crisis.

The Spider Queen may appear at any time.

With the Hero Altar around, he didn't care so much about death.

But if the copy is cleared, all the troops in his hand will inevitably be ruined, and his goal of this trip will be in vain.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

He can sacrifice, but the goal must be achieved!

Popov suddenly fell silent.

After taking a few deep breaths, she stared at him firmly.

"Your Excellency Richard, the Ta clan still has a dark stone statue that has been preserved for a long time. The ancestors of the Ta clan once sealed an extremely powerful evil being in the stone statue."

"The other party possesses extremely powerful power. Our ancestors once said that he may possess a ray of divinity."

"If we can resuscitate the opponent and enslave it, and then cooperate with your subordinates, we may be able to hold back the Spider Queen when we attack the Spider Temple."

"So, I implore you to accept this stone statue."

Dark stone statue?

Richard narrowed his eyes.

Is this the reward that the system says can bring out copies?

This made him a little more interested.

The difficulty of this unexpected task of guarding the Holy Land of the Tower Clan is sky-high.

The rewards from his missions will certainly not disappoint him.

Seeing that Richard remained silent, Popov became a little anxious and continued.

"You don't need to worry. The power of that stone statue has been completely sealed and will not pose any danger to you."

"That stone statue is so powerful, why don't you use it? You are not the ancestor of the Ta clan, so you shouldn't have a psychological burden, right?"

When Popov heard this, he looked at the ancient tree of evil.

"What you don't know is that it requires huge dark power to activate that stone statue. The Ta tribe is a warrior race and has no research on magic."

He said it a little bitterly.

"And because the stone statue is too old, ordinary power can no longer drive it. At least, it requires the power of this tree man to activate the sealed soul."

Richard's interest became more intense.

Does it need the power of the ancient divine tree to drive it?

What Treebeard has just revealed is the power of decay, which is the power of the gods.

What level of stone statue requires divine power to move it?

"Popov, I have no reason to refuse."

"We need to use all the power we can use now. Our enemy is very powerful."

Popov took a deep breath.

"The Ta clan will do our best! We will live up to you!"

Speaking of this level 19 hero who is over eight meters tall and as strong as a mountain.

He put his right hand on his chest, bowed slowly to Richard, and saluted with the most respectful gesture.

"Your Excellency Richard, the Ta clan will always remember your efforts. Please give me everything."

After the battle just now, Richard's status in Popov's heart has risen to the extreme.

In his heart, he even regarded him as the savior of the Ta tribe.

The relationship between the two parties has changed from cooperation to being dependent on others.

This is a situation that Richard used hard power to open up.

Richard looked directly into the other person's eyes, his tone was calm but solemn.

"You will live up to your trust."

After the words fell, the relationship between the two parties took another step forward.

The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, but the army could not find anything in the broken spider churches.

Obviously, like the church that was captured before, the army and everything else were sent by the Spider Temple.

Richard did not linger on this stinky battlefield, and let the troops disperse, clearing out all the enemies dozens of kilometers around.

Followed Popov back to the village.

When the players saw him coming back, they immediately gave him a series of compliments, making the shameless flattery snap loudly.

Richard had a dark look on his face, but he didn't stop these idiots anymore and let them enter the village together.

Ignoring the players who were looking around, looking for some tasks or some benefits, he followed Popov back to the hall where the stone statues were placed.

But before he entered the house, Richard saw a large number of Tower people at the door.

These Ta clansmen are three to four meters tall, with the same body as Popov, strong and powerful, and indescribably fierce.

But what is inconsistent is that the faces of these Ta tribes are full of childishness, and their small eyes are full of innocence and curiosity.

Looking around, there could be hundreds of people including those inside the house.

Richard was a little stunned when he saw this scene.

This is what Popov said, the remaining members of the Ta clan?

No wonder I didn't see any Ta warriors on the battlefield just now.

These "little guys" are still underage cubs

Although its size is larger than that of a human being, its childish expression and eyes clearly indicate that it has not yet reached the stage of a battlefield.

The other party said that the Tower Clan could still send hundreds of people to participate in the final battle, so these cubs were allowed to wear armor and go into battle, right?

Richard couldn't help but sigh.

In the final battle, there is really nothing left to hold on to. If you win, you will be reborn, if you fail, you will be destroyed together.

Leaving them to lose everything in ignorance would be worse than falling on the road to charge.

Popov looked at Richard's expression and immediately understood what he was thinking.

He smiled and shook his head.

"Your Excellency Richard, you don't need to do this. Everyone in the Tower Clan sacrificed their lives to protect this world."

"We have no cowards!"

"Death is the glory that belongs to the Ta clan!"

As he said that, he turned around and looked at the "little guys" around him.

"The enemy has been repulsed. We are safe now. You go and take out the armor and weapons from the warehouse, find something that fits you and wear it. The final decisive battle is not far away."

After speaking, he let out a long sigh, said nothing more, and stepped into the hall.

To Richard's surprise, those Ta clan cubs did not chirp and asked, but instead made way for a passage.

When Popov passed by, everyone raised their chests and saluted him.

This scene inexplicably touched Richard.

He suddenly thought of the Twilight City and its own residents.

If one day, Twilight City is forced to this extent, will its citizens do the same and defend the city even to the last man?

Shaking his head, thinking no more, he followed the other party into the stone statue hall.

The second time I entered, the feeling in my heart was no longer the same.

Those cold stone statues seemed to have transformed into living Ta clans, staring at him and pleading with him.

After entering the house, Popov walked to an inconspicuous corner.

Stopped in front of a statue.

He stared with some complicated eyes for a moment, then shook his head, stepped forward and hugged the statue with both hands.

Using all his strength, his muscles bulged like steel, and he directly carried the taller stone statue to the giant long table.

Bang~

The ground shook.

Popov clapped his hands and motioned to the stone statue.

"Your Excellency Richard, this is the stone statue that seals the evil life."

Richard turned his head and looked, and the appearance of the stone statue came into view.

Its appearance is blurry, and its appearance is completely unclear. From its appearance, it can only be judged that it is not a creature like a tentacle monster.

Is this the stone statue that requires the power of the ancient divine tree to activate?

With strong curiosity, I opened the properties panel.

dark stone statue

Level: Legend

Characteristics: Seals the Soul Eater's soul, requiring huge amounts of negative energy to activate.

Introduction: The stone statue is made with a special method. Because it has been sealed for too long, the sealed soul has been integrated into the stone statue. After activation, a new life will be born.

this?

Legend level?

Richard's eyes immediately lit up.

What a good thing.

Even if you don’t know the specific attributes, but with this level, it’s indispensable!

Then he seemed to think of something, and with strong expectations, he opened the black gold system.

More detailed information appears immediately above.

"Dark stone statue, legendary level. The sealed legendary level soul-eating demon stone statue has mutated and is merging with the stone statue."

"1. It can consume a large amount of negative energy to nourish the soul-eating demon, successfully mutate it, and transform it into a dark stone statue-like life."

"2. It can consume a large amount of light power, prevent its transformation, and cause it to completely die."

"A large number of undead crystals containing negative power have been detected. The undead crystals can be consumed to activate the statue, allowing the Soul Eater to accelerate its transformation."

"Note: After activating the stone statue, you can inject negative energy to improve its quality. The injected energy is strong, and the higher the level, the higher the potential and the more powerful the Soul Eater Demon will be after it mutates."

"After detecting the spider's divine power, you can use the divine power to increase its potential. Note: The Soul Eater is mutating and has strong plasticity. After devouring the spider's divine power, you can obtain the special effects of the spider's divine power."
