Richard’s eyes became unusually solemn when he saw this shocking scene.

He gave a decisive order.

“All troops, retreat immediately!!”

“Don’t linger in battle!”

The Spiral Storm could attack five times per second… They wouldn’t be able to withstand it even if the troops activated the Sand Transformation. They would only suffer enormous casualties if they tried to force it.

The Storm Spiral severed several troops’ bodies. The Twilight City troops did not hesitate and shortly rushed to the rear when Richard gave the order.

Xina, who had just chopped off the second heavy sword warrior, also decisively retreated from the third about-to-be killed magic puppet.

As a veteran of hundreds of battles, she understood the importance of obeying orders better than anyone else.

Although the troop could not withstand the attacks of the heavy sword warrior’s Spiral Storm, if they simply retreated, the magic puppets with no ability to keep people could not stop them.

It was still two minutes before the Sand Transformation ended after the Twighlight City troops retreated out of the tunnel. The troops returned to their posts when the heavy sword warriors left.

The other soldiers’ bodies were ramshackle at this time, aside from the dark gargoyles that could fly.

If they had retreated too late, the magic puppets immune to 99% physical damage might have killed them.

The magic puppets also had a skill immune to 99% damage, which could increase their rotation speed by three times…

Fifteen times a second, this was like a propeller turning into a spirit!

Richard looked at the dark passage and mulled over.

“Just now, the entire troop had frantically attacked but killed only less than six magic puppets.

“Xina took down two of them…

“As expected, glorious-level troops are not easy to deal with.”

Richard did not feel depressed at all, although the opponents had blocked his first attack. His eyes were still firm and determined.

“Although the result of the battle was lower than expected, it proves that this strategy is effective.”

If he couldn’t clear it once, then 10, 20 times!

He still had enough time.

Richard pondered.

The system notification suddenly rang.

[Ding~ All troop lairs have refreshed. Lords, please recruit on your own.]

[Ding~ This week is the resource week — Gemstone production will increase by 10 units per day. Lords, please arrange the production.]

When Richard heard the notification, he snapped back to reality.

Today was May 22, Monday. The system refreshed all the soldier’s lair.

Unfortunately, it was not in the territory.

However, when he returned, the troop strength in his hands would increase once again.

His heart felt much better as he mused on this.

This time, when he returned, he wanted to continue buying soldier’s lairs and destroy a wave of soldiers.

The dungeon was about to open. The troops on hand were strong enough, but their numbers were pronouncedly insufficient.

When he shook his head, he collected his scattered thoughts and focused on the next battle.

Whether it was the reward from the Fire Elemental Lord, finding more resources, or leaving the ruins.

He had to get rid of those glorious-level magic puppets.

Richard brought the army, which had already cooled down, back into the dungeon after they rested for two hours.

Those magic puppets had already returned to their normal state.

Having learned his lesson last time, he did not split his troops to delay the other magic puppets.

He waved his hand and pointed at the enemies at the front.

“Everyone, focus fire! The target of this round — kill ten magic puppets!

“Remember, when the enemy activates the Spiral Strom, retreat immediately and never linger!”

It was impossible to break through the passage in one go. They could only use Sand Transformation to deplete the enemy’s remaining strength.

Fortunately, the enemy did not have a hero to command. Otherwise, this level was hopeless to defeat.

The troops moved with remarkable decisiveness and with a clear goal in mind.

They were here to hunt magic puppets and would not care about anything else.

The targeted heavy sword warriors immediately tasted the taste of hundreds of soldiers that pounced them.

The number is only a few more squads than the opponents, but they used the sea of people tactic…

The Axe of the Dead finally triggered the Soul Execution at this time. Richard was greatly relieved.

This Soul Execution was still effective against the magic puppets.

Perhaps, the Axe of the Dead did not kill the opponent’s soul but destroyed the magic array in the opponent’s body.

But no matter what, this powerful skill did not lose its effectiveness against the magic puppet was the best news.

Xina still fought alone.

No one could stop this hero with terrifying battle skills without a mage.

Her strength might not be that strong with her bloodline sealed.

But her nerve-racking battle skills that made up for this flaw magnified her strength to the extreme.

The longer they fought, the more Richard admired Xina.

If this hero could be starkly subdued and the seal in her body lifted.

Then, how sturdy her burst of power would be?!

Seven magic puppets toppled down in the second attack. Then, heavy sword warriors activated the Spiral Storm.

Although he did not complete the goal, Richard did not hesitate.

He immediately ordered the troop to retreat.

Two hours could only attack for less than five minutes.

This battle became tough.

The troops had only crushed two magic puppets on two occasions, and the heavy sword warriors activated the Spiral Storm.

Richard could only retreat under such a paralyzing attack.

Time slowly passed.

On the night of May 23.

A day and night of fighting exhausted Richard.

Especially in the previous battle, those magic puppets had activated their powerful skill for the first time — Excessive Overload.

The three times increase in rotation speed allowed him ultimately experience the troops’ perversity.

The five bandaged mummies were one step too slow.

More than ten magic puppets surrounded them in the middle.

Even if the bandaged mummies had activated the Sand Transformation, they would lose in the face of 15 revolutions per second paralyzing attack.

It was the first time Richard had seen a soldier who had activated desertification torn apart by physical damage.

It shocked him.

Magic puppets had knapped the indestructible golden body of the Sand Transformation.

It also raised vigilance in his heart. No matter what, he could not be careless.

He could not starkly rely on an invincible skill.

Richard regained his steadfastness and quietude after serious reflection.

He began to arrange the battle more carefully…

On the morning of May 24.

Richard finally reduced the number of heavy sword warriors to a small team after a fight for a day and two nights.

He could not remember the times he had stood against these five-meter-tall magic puppets.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the destroyed magic puppets around him. A strong sense of accomplishment rose in his heart.

These two days had been tough than ever.

But victory would still belong to him!

“Destroy the last magic puppets! End this long battle!”

Richard’s order became the horn for the general attack.

The troop swarmed forward.

The number of a squadron attacking a small team of magic puppets was overwhelming in terms of numbers.

The opponents immediately activated the Spiral Storm after Twilight City troops smashed three magic puppets.

‘Hu-hu-hu-hu!’

Excessive Overload.

‘Hu-hu-hu-hu! Hu-hu-hu-hu!’

The two-and-a-half-meter heavy sword rotated 15 times per second. The whistling sound it made seemed to tear space apart.

However, the troops that had activated the Sand Transformation did not have any scruples.

They rushed forward and forcefully slowed down the speed of the enemy’s rotation using their bodies.

The Axe of the Dead at the back took this opportunity to focus fire one after another.

One minute remained before the Sand Transformation process.

The head of the last heavy sword warrior flew up high.

‘Clang! Clang!’

The closed spiral body suddenly fell, and the heavy sword kept on slicing the ground.

The metal-irrigated ground shot out several sparks that left exaggerated scratches on the battleground.

After a few rounds, the strength of the thick and heavy sword weakened. It stuck on the ground and no longer turned.

When Richard saw this, his exhausted expression suddenly became highly spirited.

His mood instantly soared.

He had finally won…

Inner emotions tumbled fiercely in his heart.

Twilight City had obtained the final victory after a day and two nights of a tough fight.

The feeling was indescribable.

[Ding~ The troop you led has annihilated a group of magic puppets and obtained victory in a miniature battle. You have earned 20,000 experience points.]

A squadron of magic puppets had given Richard 20,000 experience points.

But that was not the main point. Richard looked behind the heavy sword warrior at the building engraved with magic inscriptions.

His breathing quickened.

The magic material warehouse, the central core of the Fire Elemental Lord’s seal…

Now, it was time to harvest.
