Global Lords: Start as a Desert Lord

Twilight city.

Since Richard left with his army a few days ago.

The entire city has entered the highest level of defense.

The cannon adjusted its shooting angle, and the alchemy bomb was fully loaded.

There are Ningsha archers stationed in the arrow tower at all times, and the dragon-hunting crossbow on the top of the arrow tower has already been cocked.

Under the city wall, swarms of dark trees firmly guarded the City of Twilight.

The poisonous wasps flying among these withered trees were as dense as black clouds.

As long as an enemy attacks, these ferocious city-defending forces can immediately unleash extreme destructive power.

When the orange-red sun sank into most of the sand sea, the clouds in the sky were illuminated with colorful rays.

The pale-haired Karu slowly climbed up the city wall with his aging body.

Holding one hand on the city wall stacks that felt a bit warm to the touch, he looked into the distance.

The desert illuminated by the setting sun seemed to be covered with a golden coat.

But this magnificent scene has long been accustomed to people living in the desert.

Kalu's expression didn't change much, and his eyes kept staring in a certain direction.

As if looking for something.

After a long time, black spots the size of ants suddenly appeared on the desert at the end of the line of sight.

His eyes couldn't help but freeze.

He waved his hand to summon the mummy soldiers beside him. Just when he was about to give an order, a rush of footsteps came from behind.

"Lord Karu, we found two more groups of hundreds of refugees in front!"

Karu turned his head, looked at the young human soldier who came to report, and said in a deep voice.

"According to the previous plan, first bring the refugees into the dark tree people, check their safety, and then put them into the city.

"At the same time, let the army expand the scope of exploration. If there is any change, report it immediately."

Although Twilight City did not train human soldiers to fight, it still recruited a group of security personnel due to management needs.

In normal times, you can maintain the environmental sanitation and public security of the territory and handle some neighborhood disputes.

When there is a shortage of manpower, they can also serve as reserves for the army.

"Yes, sir!"

The other party left not long ago.

An army from Twilight City set out to stop the refugees at the end of the sand dunes, and then took them to the dark trees for inspection and questioning.

After several rounds of questioning, they made sure there was no problem before taking the refugees into the city.

Karu watched this scene silently, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Sir Karu, this is already the seventh batch of refugees in the past two days."

While deep in thought, Karu was awakened by a voice coming from his side.

He turned his head and looked at the mummy hero wrapped in bloody bandages beside him, and sighed softly.

"Lord Gunter, this is also my biggest concern."

With a hint of worry in his eyes, he looked at the refugees who were being accepted according to the procedure.

"The Kingdom of El is so mysterious that I have never heard of it."

Gunter said slowly.

"After these few days of observation and interrogation, perhaps as we speculated, the El Empire is a force from other dimensions."

"These refugees were all involved in the desert where space turbulence appeared when they fled that country."

Karu took a deep breath and his eyes became more solemn.

"Lord Gunter, this is exactly what I'm worried about."

"Master Richard has mentioned more than once that the Desert of Death will merge with other planes in the future."

As he spoke, his expression became extremely serious.

"I thought this would happen a few years later, but now, things have changed."

"These refugees from the Kingdom of El confirm what your Excellency said."

Other planes merge with the Death Desert. This is definitely bad news.

The refugees appearing now are not harmful to the Twilight City, but what about the future?

Who can guarantee that no scary monster will appear?

Moreover, we learned from the refugees that the force called the Kingdom of El had an army of millions and ruled over tens of millions of people.

If the opponent appears in the Desert of Death and launches an attack on Twilight City, it will definitely be an unacceptable disaster.

Fortunately, he has not found a fixed space passage where the refugees appear. At the same time, the Kingdom of El is still in the midst of internal strife and division, and the opponent's power has not been concentrated.

Otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable

Gunter's voice also became deeper.

"Lord Karu, we need more military supplies and a stronger army!"

Karu let out a sigh of relief.

"I have asked the Crucible City to fully produce alchemy bombs and giant cannons."

"The production workshop for the newly developed alchemy bomb has been built and will be put into production immediately."

"With Furnace City's full production, our inventory of alchemy bombs can be replenished quickly."

"In terms of the army, the number of troops in Bloodhoof City has exceeded two legions, and they can provide support at any time."

Even though Richard had mobilized the main force of Twilight City to leave, the defensive power of Twilight City was still considerable relying on the foundation he had worked hard through life and death.

While the two were talking, they saw Gray, the mummified hero wearing a crown on his head and two colorful laces floating around his ears, stepping up to the city wall.

Behind him followed a stout, middle-aged man wearing a shiny gray robe and an anxious face.

"Lord Karu."

Gray held up his chest.

Although the two A-level mummy heroes have a high status in the army, when Richard is away, Karu, an internal affairs officer who has never made any mistakes, is the leader of Twilight City.

As long as he does not violate the rules set by Richard, everyone must give him enough respect.

After Karu nodded, he looked at the middle-aged man behind him.

"Gray, who is this?"

The middle-aged man said in a special language.

"My lord, I am a civil servant in the Kingdom of El, Will."

Karu frowned slightly when he heard the chirping sound.

Just as he was about to speak, Gray's magic surged and enveloped the two of them.

Special magic - language knowledge.

Only then can the two of them communicate normally.

Kalu had gotten used to this scene in the past two days, so he asked again. After the other party answered, his eyes lit up.

Civil servant of El Kingdom? This is the person with the highest status discovered in the past two days.

None of the former refugees could even read.

Apart from knowing that the country he was in was called the El Kingdom, and that he was forced to flee his hometown due to the war, he knew very little other information.

I don’t even know how I came to the Desert of Death.

The value of that information is truly mind-boggling.

"Will, how did you come to the Desert of Death?"

The middle-aged man said with a hint of fear on his face.

"I was running away from the rebels when I suddenly felt dizzy. When I opened my eyes again, I found that my surroundings had turned into a desert."

Hearing the same answer as others, Karu frowned. Is everyone the same way?

He gave up the idea of ​​asking anything here and changed the topic.

"Do you know that you are no longer in our plane? This is the main plane."

Will said bitterly.

"Sir, I just heard that"

As he spoke, he looked up at the colorful sky.

"Legend has it that our plane once had a space channel with the main plane.

“It wasn’t until later that a horrific war broke that space channel, and we lost the news about the main plane. Even now, some people still doubt whether the main plane exists.

"It's strange to say that those rebels are hunting for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

As he spoke, his eyes showed some thoughts, and then his face changed slightly as if he thought of something.

Karu was keenly aware of the other party's emotional changes.

Looking at him closely, he said in a deep voice.

"Will, what did you think of?"

Will was a little surprised and said tremblingly.

"Those rebels had previously released news that they wanted to arrest Her Highness the Princess. It is said that Her Highness the Princess went to the forbidden area of ​​the Kingdom of El."

Karu couldn't understand what he heard.

"The forbidden area of ​​the El Kingdom? What's in there? Does it have anything to do with your sudden appearance here?"

Will explained quickly.

"I have a legend about El's royal family, but I can't guarantee it's true or false."

"explain."

"Yes, sir."

Will organized his words and said in a condensed voice.

"It is said that the El royal family possesses an ancient summoning array that can summon giants hundreds of meters tall."

"When the Kingdom of El was first established, those giants played a huge role, and there are still statues of giants in the capital to this day."

He paused for a moment before continuing.

"Also, the announcement on the rebel army said that the summoning array is hidden in the forbidden area of ​​the Kingdom of El.

"They offered a very high reward. As long as they can discover a summoning circle, they can get the title of earl!"

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with envy.

Earl, this is a nobleman. He can't get it in ten lifetimes.

It was precisely because the reward was so generous that he took a few more glances.

"What you mean is that it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who escaped into the forbidden area of ​​the Kingdom of El and activated the ancient summoning array, so that you came to the main plane."

Karu studied the other person's expression.

Will nodded.

"This is just my guess, sir. However, this has not happened for millions of years. It happened after the rebels issued an announcement."

“It’s hard for me not to associate those two things together.”

Carew turned and glanced at Gunter.

Gunter nodded slowly.

"The soul's aura is normal and he's not lying."

Only then did Karu look away.

I was lost in thought.

That summoning array can actually directly connect two planes?

What kind of summoning array is this? It's obviously a teleportation array.

"Does the other party know that the summoning array has the ability to connect to the main plane?"

"You may not know it at first, but this kind of information cannot be hidden from smart people."

Will answered honestly.

"Judging from the reward offered by the other party, we may have already known about it."

Karu said thoughtfully.

"In your opinion, will there be more similar situations in the future? Can the El Kingdom establish a fixed space channel with the main plane?"

Will's face turned bitter.

The space passage connecting the main plane is a major event that concerns the entire country, and he can't know it.

"Sir, I am just a low-level civil servant. I don't know much more information than civilians. I cannot make judgments on these matters."

Carew thought about the same reason. After confirming with Gunter that the other party was not lying, he did not struggle with this issue.

He changed the topic.

"What's going on with the rebellion in the El Kingdom?"

The current situation in Twilight City is very delicate. Because of the appearance of refugees, that strange plane is likely to suddenly open a space passage to the desert of death.

By then, no one is sure what will happen.

He must know more relevant information in order to respond in advance.

Will said slowly.

“The Kingdom of El has a legendary top figure—the Grand Duke of Wrathblood.

"This Grand Duke has a dazzling experience. He joined the army at the age of 12, fought for forty years, and made countless achievements. Most of the troops in the Kingdom of El are his subordinates.

“This also led to the great Duke possessing great prestige and authority after breaking through to the extraordinary.

"Perhaps because of this reason, the other party developed strong ambitions. Then when the king personally conquered the abyss rift, the Blood-Rage Duke chose to betray, killed the king, and ascended the throne on his own!"

"The royal family of El was completely wiped out, with only two young princesses escaping into the forbidden area of ​​the royal family of El."

In a few words, Will recounted the general situation.

Although the background of the grudges is simple, Kalu's face is not very pretty.

extraordinary

This keyword reminded him of the Lord of Quicksand who was still in the territory.

In that battle, the City of Twilight flowed with blood, and 70% of the army was killed.

This is the most tragic event since the establishment of Twilight City.

Now, an extraordinary person who doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend may appear at any time, which puts great pressure on him.

Moreover, the other party also rules a kingdom with a population of tens of millions.

Judging from its rebellious behavior, the other party is obviously not a law-abiding existence.

Such characters are often highly aggressive.

Not to mention that the other party also offered a high price to find a summoning array that can go to the main plane.

Combining these factors, it is not necessary to think about it and know that the other party must have greater ambitions.

They are enemies, not friends.

Kalu immediately made a judgment in his mind.

After coming back to his senses, he seemed to have thought of something and looked towards the east.

The sandstorm more than ten kilometers away is still sweeping the world, and its terrifying power is intimidating.

That's the direction Richard left.

Take a deep breath.

My lord, we are in trouble again.

But this time, we will never let the enemy step into the Twilight City again!

No one can challenge your glory!

Taking a deep breath, his eyes returned to firmness.

"Send out the entire army to patrol around the clock. If any abnormal movement is found in the space, report it immediately!"

"In addition, send the Void Sandworm back from the underground world. I need it to find that plane."

"During your absence, I don't want anything to go wrong in Twilight City."

As he spoke, he put his right hand on his chest and roared enthusiastically.

"For Twilight City!"

The aging body actually looked like a majestic warrior at this moment.

Gunter and Gray beside him were also holding their chests at the same time and shouting in a low voice.

"For. Twilight City!"

The aura on his body suddenly became fierce.

This land is the owner's territory, and they have the belief to protect it with their lives.
