Chapter 107: Chapter 107 - Post-War Harvest Point

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Lord, the corpses of the lizardmen have been gathered.”

Gunter’s words from behind interrupted Richard’s train of thought. He set aside the black magic mace that could cast a Beyond A-rank skill.

Richard turned his head to gaze at the mountain of lizardmen corpses behind him. He nodded.

“Those corpses are all yours. Go, and recruit them.”

“As you wish.”

Excitement tinged Gunter’s voice.

The mummy hero, wrapped in blood-colored bandages, strode to the massive pile of corpses.

It stretched out its right hand.

In the next second, the mummy’s body released endless crimson energy, and light instantly covered the corpse in front of it.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.”

Its mouth chanted extremely obscure incantations.

Those refugees the lizardmen captured and were now in the care of the mummies looked panic-stricken.

They seemed afraid of being devoured alive.

Under the shroud of the blood-colored light, the lizard corpses piled up outside melted like ice and snow. The flesh and bones turned blood water.

The corpses at the bottom sucked up the blood that gurgled.

Richard’s eyes were sharp. He saw the 15 lizard corpses suck the blood and energy like sponges.

“This one wants to turn the giant monitor lizards into mummies?”

Richard’s expression was a bit weird. “Could this work?”

A few minutes later, hundreds of lizard corpses disappeared without a trace. Only 15 giant monitor lizards were left.

Pervading blood and flesh energy turned into strips of crimson bandages that wrapped around the giant monitor’s lizard’s body into an extraordinary mummy.

The system notification quietly sounded when the last ray of light dissipated.

[Ding~ Twilight City’s Hero: Gunter Fresh Blood, recruited 15 giant monitor lizard mummies from the lizard corpses.]

[Giant Monitor Lizard Mummy]

[Level: 4]

[Potential: Rare 2-stars]

[Skills: Mummy Body (D-rank), Pouncing Bite (D-rank), Swinging Tail (D-rank), Berserk (D-rank)]

[Race Talent: When in the desert, the recovery speed of injuries will be increased by 50%.]

[Fetter-Mummy: When the number of mummies is greater than 50, the strength will be increased by 30% (activated).]

[Description: Unusual mummy, with good strength.]

Richard gazed at the 15 five meters long giant monitor lizard mummies wrapped in blood-colored bandages. They were exceedingly conspicuous in the yellow sand.

He was jovial.

In ancient Egyptian myths and legends, cats were made into mummies for burial following the pharaoh’s death.

‘If cats could turn into mummies, why couldn’t lizards?’

He was in a high-spirited state of mind.

Gunter was genuinely a treasure hero.

While on the road the preceding day, Gunter hunted down some troops in the wild and let them recruit three teams of Elite 1-star bandaged mummies to save mummy recruitment quota.

There were four and a half teams of recruits with these 15 mummified giant monitor lizards.

Truly delicious.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After the mummy hero gave the giant monitor lizards the ability to mummify, these enormous soldiers immediately became super meat shields.

Using these recruits as the front platoon and cannon fodder was simply perfect.

Richard saw the aghast residents around him from the corner of his eye.

His heart gladly demeanor.

He turned around and said to Xina.

“I want to send these residents back to Twilight City.

“Xina, I need your help to calm them down.”

When Xina heard this, she felt a little serpentine.

These were her people, and now she wanted to give them away to someone else…

However, she had established the territory to explore the ancient ruins and break the seal in her body.

Now that the lizardmen had burned down the territory, all the efforts for so long had turned to ashes. There was no reason to persevere.

She was more willing to gallop on the battlefield than to manage the territory. She was born to fight.

When Richard saw the excited expressions on the refugees’ faces after Xena passed by, he didn’t say anything.

The conversation ended after a long while. Seven or eight of the residents walked out and came in front of Richard together with Xena.

They saluted with their hands on their chests.

“Lord Richard, these are the managers appointed in Oasis City…”

Richard looked at the highly-strung people and consented slightly.

“I will send you to Twilight City. It’s my territory, so it’s starkly safe there.

“I need you to manage the others well and don’t cause any trouble.”

One of the middle-aged men said hesitantly.

“Lord, can we look for the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce? We followed them across the desert…”

Richard smiled.

“What do you think?”

The man subconsciously glanced at Gray, whose face was shriveled to the bone. And the two 3 meters tall and exceedingly oppressive dark gargoyles.

The middle-aged man was at a loss for words and didn’t dare to speak again.

‘How could the weak have the right to negotiate with the strong…?’

Richard didn’t pay any more attention to these people.

He looked at the residents and thought.

He had initially planned to send the troop to escort these residents back to the territory. But it would take two to three days for these hundreds of people to arrive.

Moreover, a vast amount of clean water has to be provided on the way.

He didn’t have that much time to waste.

He glanced at the three-meter-tall dark gargoyle beside him and decided in his heart.

Weren’t the dark gargoyles the best means of transportation?

A dark gargoyle could carry two people. It would take more than an hour to transport them, and a round trip would only take two to three hours.

Even if they had to make a few round trips, it would be several times faster than the troop’s journey…

If the Aborigines saw the use of rare-level troops to transport civilians, they would probably think it was an illusion…

Since when could a lowly civilian ride on the neck of a rare-level troop?

Even the eyes of the residents weren’t quite right.

Was this lord for real?

However, under Richard’s will, no one dared to object. They carried out the plan immediately.

The operation to capture the Oasis City officially ended when the first batch of dark gargoyles took off.

Although the lizardmen had interfered midway, the overall harvest was still very considerable.

First, Richard obtained a 3-star resource treasure — 15-acre sand wheat.

This strategic treasure was worthy of the word strategy.

It laid a solid foundation for his farming plan, which was 15-acre of sand wheat! It matured once a month!

‘How many people could this feed??’

The second harvest was Xina. The hero with the god’s seal on her body.

If he could subdue the other party, he would have a sword in his hand to charge forward.

Gunter and Gray were mage heroes, while Xina was a pure warrior hero. The mage heroes had the upper hand in influencing the battle situation.

However, to the threat of the enemy commander, the warrior hero was undoubtedly mightier, and each had its emphasis.

The third harvest was an ancient ruin’s detailed information.

The ruin was thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago. Some powerful forces or empires collapsed due to various reasons.

Finally, it was buried deep underground or hidden in an area of ??the dimensional plane.

Exploring ruins was an enormous selling point in the “Shining Era”. It was not inferior to dungeons.

The fourth harvest was the 500 plus residents. The addition of these people could significantly fill the population gap in Twilight City.

Not only could they complete the requirements for upgrading their territory, but they could also alleviate the urgent talent shortage problem.

Finally, there was a black magic mace that could cast a Beyond A-rank skill. It has freezing space within 1,000 meters for 20 seconds… This thing could change the battle situation.

It was extremely overbearing.

Richard was in a good mood after he took stock of the gains from this battle.

Any one of these spoils was worth his time and effort.

“This round is not a loss.”

After he regained focus, he took out the black magic mace engraved with a Beyond A-rank skill.

Richard’s eyes flashed.

A key engraved with a Beyond A-rank skill. How many treasures would be in this ancient ruin?
