Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

Richard looked at the situation on the field. His expression became more serious.

This was the first time the opponents had defeated the Axe of the Dead.

Just as he was about to order the cursed pharaoh to support him, the situation suddenly changed again.

A few of the undead soldiers that had broken the chains pulled hard and placed the remaining chains back into their hands.

After the half-metal giant broke them, the tomahawks deeply buried in the desert suddenly broke into pieces like glass and disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, the broken tomahawks in the hands of the undead soldiers grew out of thin air.

They returned to their original appearance in a few blinks of an eye.

[Racial Talent: After the half-metal giants broke the tomahawks, they can use energy to condense again.]

The Axe of the Dead dealt magic damage because their tomahawks were condensed from energy…

At this moment, the undead soldier held by the half-metal giant at the other end of the chain also made a move.

It pulled the chain fiercely, and the half-metal giant’s hand that held the other end of the chain shattered into oblivion.

Countless pieces of debris reassembled in the air. By the time the half-metal giant pulled the chain back into his hand, the broken tomahawk had already returned to normal.

This scene was simply invigorating.

Richard laughed loudly and looked at the cursed pharaoh beside him.

“Cast your spell, restrict the movement of the half-metal giant, and attack with undead soldiers!”

The cursed pharaoh, who waited a long time, suddenly waved the withered scepter in its hand.

Cursed words!

A dark light flashed. In the next second, the half-metal giant’s body that fought with the scorpion warrior froze.

And it was beyond Richard’s expectations.

When Richard controlled the Rare 2-star Devil Goat Monster the other day, it returned to normal in less than two seconds. But the half-metal giant’s time doubled.

A full four seconds.

Even if it was a fight between ordinary people, four seconds was enough to decide the outcome, let alone on a battlefield.

‘Clang! Clang!’

The brutal bodies of the half-metal giants, which gave them terrifying power, became the best target at this time.

The tomahawks thrown by the undead soldiers did not miss.

Soul Execution!

One by one, the half- metal giants collapsed.

‘The half-metal giants have an insane physical defense. But correspondingly, their magic resistance is low…

‘That’s true. With such a strong defense and high magic resistance, the lowest is a rare-level troop, right?’

As Richard pondered, the collision between the two sides became more intense.

After the half-metal giant’s companion fell, another companion behind it charged up with endless fury again.

The earth trembled as they ran!

The scorpions that had turned into sand charged fearlessly forward.

However, the extremely strong close combat scorpions instantly felt the malice of the entire world when they faced the four-meter-tall half-metal giant.

The clenched hand of the half-metal giant was even more terrifying than the strength of the heavy hammer. The two iron pincers of the scorpion crossed to block, and they were directly smashed into pieces by the fist.

They scattered into yellow sand.

‘Phew!’ It swung a heavy fist and bombarded the scorpion warrior’s body. ‘Bang!’ It directly exploded, creating a large hole.

Even if the scorpion warrior crazily swallowed the yellow sand to repair itself, it would not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, the Sand Transformation was immune to 99% physical damage. Otherwise, it would have been a nightmare for all melee soldiers to face these monsters head-on.

Pharaoh’s curse!

The cursed pharaoh waved his withered scepter for the second time. The power of the half-metal giant that charged at the front rapidly decreased.

All attributes decreased by 20%.

With magic resistance extremely low, the half-metal giant resisted the curse’s power.

The scorpion warrior immediately had a chance to catch its breath and began to obstruct the enemy’s advance desperately.

But even so, the violent to the extreme half-metal giant still hammered the scorpion warrior into a sandstorm.

The battlefield stirred up a sandstorm, and yellow sand covered the sky.

But the more chaotic the battle was, the more the undead soldiers could display their skills.

The sound of the tomahawk which pulled the chains was audible incessantly.

There was always a chance to trigger the terrifying Soul Execution skill.

One is full of energy. Two is exhausted. Three is dead beat.

When the half-metal giant could not break through the scorpion warrior’s blockade in the first wave, it charged into the back row.

The second wave, the third wave, and the hope of the second wave became slimmer and slimmer.

Twilight City swiftly increased in strength while the number of half-metal giants rapidly decreased.

‘Clang! Clang!’

The last half-metal giant entangled with the scorpion warrior fell under the 30% kill characteristic of the undead soldier.

The rolling yellow sand on the battlefield gradually calmed down…

Richard watched from behind and saw it very clearly.

However, throughout the battle, the scorpion warrior’s poisonous tail that had the armor-piercing characteristic only left white marks on the half-metal giant.

He could only admire the power of the Axe of the Dead in the end!

It was not that the half-metal giant was not strong, but Twilight City was more strong!

[Ding~ You have commanded the troop to win a mini battle. You have obtained 300 experience points.]

[Ding~ You have defeated the troop stationed at the medium-sized gold mine and obtained the authority to occupy the gold mine. Do you wish to occupy it?]

“Confirm.”

After the system notification sounded, Richard’s mood became even more excited.

This was a Rare 3-star troop. And there were as many as three small teams. The average strength of this troop was a few levels higher than the devil goat monster he killed the other day.

But even so, it was still defeated by Richard without a scratch.

A strong sense of accomplishment rose in his heart.

He had personally forged this troop, and everyone was fighting for him.

[Gold Mine]

[Level: Medium]

[Reserves: 100,000 units]

[Maximum Output: 14,000 units per week]

[Capacity: Minimum of 10 people, maximum of 50 people.]

[Description: Medium-sized resource points. After the occupation, one can mine gold coins.]

The output of medium-sized gold mines greatly improved compared to small-sized resource points.

However, the number requirement had correspondingly increased from 10 to 50 people.

“People went hunting to exchange for more resources in the early stages. However, once there are more ore veins, these resource points with stable output will also become a reliable income for the territory.

“Unfortunately, this is a desert. The number of resource points refreshed is many times less than other areas.”

Richard touched his forehead. The desert was indeed not a place with rich resources.

When the lords of the other camps posted on the [Forum Chats], they all revealed information about the numerous resource points around their territories, intentionally or not. Only the lords of the desert camp wailed.

“But if things go on like this, there won’t be enough residents in the territory…”

Richard thought about the pitiful 300-odd residents of Twilight City. He immediately shook his head.

“Unfortunately, although the army has intelligence, it can’t replace the natives… The official website of the ‘Shining Era’ mentioned there need to be enough people in the later stages of the city’s upgrade.”

The lords who gave up on the residents in the early stages would surely taste the bitter fruit.

“I still have to bring back the 300 people that the search and rescue team found last time and refused to leave the desert oasis.

“Moreover, the harboring lair doesn’t lack food in a small oasis. That’s too suspicious.”

As he thought about it, he led the troop into the gold mine.

Huge rocks filled the place, and it looked more like a quarry from the outside.

However, after He stepped into it, one could see gold glowing under the foot of the massive stone.

A large workshop was there when Richard entered the central area. The resident used this to make gold coins.

They could start work any time as long as there were workers.

Richard found a rotten wooden box in front of the dusty workshop after he observed around carefully.

“Is this a treasure box?”

He was delighted.

But when he got closer, he couldn’t check its attributes.

He couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

But with the thought that the fisherman would never be an air force, he bent down and opened the wooden box.

Unexpectedly.

A folded blackened blueprint was in the bottom crack of the box.

Richard’s eyes lit up.

He immediately took out the blueprint. And then carefully and slowly opened it.
