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



Popov left, and Richard took the three Crown 3-stars troops of the Tower race. These were the Tower warriors that the system already rewarded.

There was no doubt about the strength of the crown warriors.

However, what made him hesitate was whether there was a need to recruit them.

The Tower race's battle style was charges on the ground. That was sparingly incompatible with Twilight City.

Most importantly, these troops needed logistics. It wouldn't be easy to raise them.

Richard shook his head and set aside the idea of nurturing the soldiers.

He would keep them for a while and use them as nourishment when the lair leveled up next time.

Richard settled and did not bother himself anymore. He enjoyed a sumptuous dinner afterward.

He had planned to rest early to relieve his fatigue. But Karu asked to see him again in the middle of the night.

"Lord, sorry to disturb your rest."

Karu's wrinkled face looked sparingly awkward when he saw Richard in his soft pajamas.

Richard leaned back on his stool and smiled.This chapter is updated by ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

"It's fine. How's the discussion on the teachings of the Ancient Tree of Darkness divine system going?"

"We're still discussing it. This matter is too important. We need everything to prove and study in detail. It will take a few more days to perfect it."

Karu sounded very serious.

Creating a divine system was like a dream to the natives of the "Shining Era."

What kind of existence were gods? The ruler of this world, the ruler with supreme prestige!

But now, they wanted to create a divine system.

Richard brewed the emotions of excitement, delight, uneasiness, and nervousness in his heart.

He nodded but did not rush Karu.

"There's no need to worry. We couldn't perfect a new divine system in one go."

"Don't be afraid of mistakes we might carry out. We can fix them immediately if problems come midway.

"The entire underground world is our experimental field."

Master Karu felt sparingly more at ease and nodded solemnly.

"Lord, I won't let you down."

It was a form of trust and absolute responsibility for the city butler to take on his shoulders such a vast matter that could directly affect the future of Twilight City.

Richard waved his hand and stopped talking about it.

That could be a long project. And it would be difficult to see results in a month or two.

"Is there anything urgent besides this?"

Karu said slowly, "Lord, Twilight City has recently recruited several residents."

That riveted Richard.

"This is a good thing…"

Karu's gaze became increasingly grave as he spoke, and Richard could not help but sparingly frown.

"Is there a problem?"

Master Karu said in a deep voice.

"Those refugees are not the residents of the desert of death."

"They said they came from a kingdom called Kingdom of Ell!"

"I've already verified it multiple times. Vale has also inquired about this in Solan City. He could not find such country around the desert of death."

"You said before that the desert of death will merge with other planes sometime."

"We're guessing that the mysterious Kingdom of Ell might be a kingdom from another plane."

Karu's tone became heavier.

"The desert of death might have already merged with the other planes if we guessed correctly."

"My Lord, we need to respond."

Richard's expression was rather interesting.

The refugees of the Kingdom of Ell appeared in the desert of death?!!

Was it, not an accident that summoned him from that plane?

His thoughts spun and recounted in detail how the two princesses of the Kingdom of Ell had summoned him.

He said in the end, "I initially thought this was just an accident. I didn't expect that even the desert of death had a spatial gap. We need to prepare in advance.

"This might be a big change."

Richard's eyes were sharp.

A merge of the planes into the desert would affect Twilight City.

The geographical location determined everything.

There was nowhere to hide.

"Were the void sandworms still in the underground world?"

"We have stationed the void sandworms on the other side of the two-way teleportation gate to prevent the enemy from their attacks and blocks against the underworld reinforcements."

"Summon them back. Tomorrow, we will open the plane passage to the Kingdom of Ell."

One's strength will always be the priority, no matter how the situation changes in the future.

That plane would still be his prey whether the Kingdom of Ell merges with the desert of death.

A plane with wealth and tens of millions of people was enough to make people envious.

The words of Richard also shocked Karu.

Richard had already gone to that plane while they uncertainly speculated.

Karu heard this, and he became excited.

He could not know the specific situation in the Kingdom of Ell. That was his biggest problem before. Twilight City now could have plans with the two princesses as spies.

"Yes, my Lord."

Karu seemed to have thought of something and continued.

"Not long after you left, a lady who claimed to be the president of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce came to us. She said you entrusted her to protect us while you were out.

"She also told me to inform her immediately of your return…"

The image of that graceful and elegant figure suddenly appeared in Richard's mind.

He nodded.

"That's right. The lady is the chairman of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce, Windsor.

"Send a message to Vale. Tell him to inform the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce that I have returned safely.

"That heart…I got it.I think you should take a look at

"I will head to Solan City the day after tomorrow. Vale can ask her to find me if Teacher Peim can't hold on longer."

It was now the 17th of December. The Teacher has ten days before the arrival of the Crimson Moon.

The instance dungeon he entered this time was sparingly different from the previous ones. The flow of time was different from the primary plane.

Only two to three days had passed in the dungeon, but half a month had passed outside.

However, the old teacher wouldn't joke around with him since the heartless old white-haired man in Red Dragon General Store set the time. 

There was still plenty of time.

He was still in a weak state. There was no need to be so anxious.

He would open the spatial passageway the next day and go to that unfamiliar plane to see the specific situation.

Karu nodded and said nothing more. Richard had made a decision, and he just had to carry it out.

The two then discussed some of the backlogged government affairs, and Richard asked about the recent developments.

He hadn't been away for long, only half a month. Everything would still go according to plan.

However, Master Karu mentioned something that enthralled his interest.

"Lord, the eldest daughter of the Ice Empire's Grand Duke of Frostwolf, Lady Rebecca, sent a message three days ago."

"She wants you to go to the Ice Empire to receive the ice ore vein.

"She also said she had prepared a big gift for you."

Rebecca came to Twilight City to purchase the Fire Dragon Rabbit fur. Her bargaining chip back then was the ice ore vein.

At that time, Adele thought Twilight City had gained a massive advantage.

However, Richard couldn't find time due to various delays, and the desert of death was far from the Ice Empire.

He put that matter on hold from there.

"Did Vale send any information to the Frostwolfs?"

"Not really. We just founded the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce. It does not have the strength to extend tentacles to the Ice Empire yet."

Richard nodded.

"I know about this. I would go when I have time."

He was also curious about the ice-and-snow-covered country all year round. They say that Ice Empire had several special and rare-level soldiers.

However, there was something more when done during this period.

He had a lot of things to do.

Besides, he couldn't stay in Twilight City for too long. He needed to leave the soonest.

Master Karu left in a hurry afterward and continued to discuss the doctrine with the talents cultivated by Twilight City.

It was like he had no sleeping plans in the evening based on his excitement.

Karu left and lay down on the bed, exhausted.

Ice spirit statues covered Twilight City. They maintained a comfortable 20 degrees Celsius for a long time. It was very suitable for a rest.

The various encounters exaggeratedly impacted his heart, although they spent a short time exploring this instance dungeon.

He slept soundly that night and didn't wake up until noon the next day.

The deep sleep alleviated the loss of soul power and caused Richard to feel weak and powerless.

Richard washed up and had lunch. He immediately ordered the troop to gather afterward.

Then, he brought the primary group to the land of quicksand.

The god's ancient tree still had fifty percent of its battle power, although Twilight City research had revived its dark body and had not recovered to its peak.

However, his trump card was not the abomination tree but the level 19 dark soul eater, Kratos. One buried this soldier in the ground for a night and had already recovered.

Richard transferred 2,000 dark treants to the land of quicksand to guard the area for safety.

The poisonous and slaughter wasps formed black clouds in the sky and buzzed incessantly.

One could feel the pressure brought by these ferocious troops.

The people with trypophobia would send them away with just a sight of them without fighting.

Twilight City listed the stone statue of the dead, the sandstorm controller, the guardian mummy, and the king of the imperial troops.

Everyone looked at the central area as if it were a great enemy.

Richard rode on Alves's back and looked at the vast creature in the quicksand.

Something was particular about the void sandworms.

Dark gold energy seemed to have forged them. They grew 80 meters in size.

Twilight City entrenched them on the ground like a city wall. They gave off an extremely oppressive feeling.

Mysterious inscriptions of various sizes covered their bodies. That made them highly eye-catching.

The void sandworms looked up at the sky and roared.

Richard sensed their emotions and nodded slightly.

"Let's begin when you're ready."

The void sandworms placed their heads on the quicksand again. Infinite power surged around the sand.

Richard sensed carefully and realized that the surrounding space shattered like glass.

There were a few small cracks at first, but they gradually expanded and cracked into large patches.

'Kacha!'

Explosions sounded incessantly.

They reached a limit.

They emitted an aura like a surging wave that forcefully shattered the space.

'Rumble!'

The void before Richard exploded, and a vast void crack appeared.

It looked around at a glorious church. Two skinny and small figures looked at them through the spatial passageway.

They sensed the familiar aura.

"Great Lord, is that you?"

Anxiety filled Richard's sky-blue eyes.

They spoke, and a hesitant and flickering sound came from above the ugly golden bug before it.

An undead dragon with a wingspan of dozens of meters appeared in the church with a majestic Dragon Might.

What surprised them was the figure on the back of the undead dragon. It wore a black and red crown and had dark flowery skin. Its aura was as bright as the moon.

At this moment, the rims of its eyes turned red.

The great existence they summoned. It came!
