The battle of the gods was related to the dungeon’s background. No wonder he could see the dragoons when they appeared.

Richard frowned.

In the background introduced by the system, a total of eight factions appeared.

He estimated that these factions included at least 90% of the players.

The situation was a little subtle.

“Gray, Gunter, each leads two teams of dark gargoyles to explore the surroundings. I need to know where we are now!!

“Be careful. Quickly retreat if you encounter powerful enemies!”

“Yes, Lord!”

The two heroes immediately rode on the dark gargoyles and took off to explore the surroundings.

Richard ordered the troops to hide and wait quietly.

About ten minutes later, Gray commanded the dark gargoyles to land on the ground and quickly turn over.

He pointed in a direction with an urgent voice.

“Lord, several demons have appeared on the west side. They are rapidly rushing towards us. There are at least ten legions!!!”

There are also intensely strapping demon heroes commanding them. We need to leave this place immediately… ”

‘More than ten legions?’

‘Ten squadrons for one legion…More than 100,000 demons?’

Richard immediately felt his scalp go numb.

“Have you found a suitable place to settle down around here?”

Gray hesitated for a moment before it continued.

“We found a village close to a river behind the woods on the south. The terrain is high, and there is a large area of sand…”

“But this village has just been attacked by a giant dragon. And the fire ignited by the dragon’s breath has just been extinguished.

“Moreover, water surrounded the village on three sides, and there is only one way out from the front…”

‘Just been attacked by a giant dragon?’

Richard thought of the dozens of terrifying dragoons and frowned.

But the large area of sand was intensely appropriate for Twilight City.

A sand fight would double the combat ability of the troop.

“Are there any other suitable locations?”

“Lord, the troops are coming from several directions. Only in this direction can shake them off the fastest…”.

Gray’s tone became a little faster.

“Otherwise, we can only head in the direction of the dragoons. However, there are many abyssal hounds in the demon troop, so we can still catch them up…

“I suggest that we head to the village. Since the dragoons have already left. There must be more important missions to carry out. It’s impossible to turn around and launch a second attack twice on a small village.”

When Richard heard this, he immediately decided.

“All troops retreat immediately… head to that village.”

After he dispatched two dark gargoyles to summon Gunter, the Twilight City troops immediately rushed towards the village in the south.

This birth point was not a good place. There were dragons in front and demons behind, and the workspace was too small.

After the troop marched on the grass for more than twenty minutes, Richard saw a village three to four hundred meters away, built on a low hill by the river that emitted black smoke.

Gunter had returned to the team on the way. At this time, two teams of dark gargoyles entered the village to eliminate the danger.

When the troop gradually approached the village, Richard breathed a sigh of relief.

‘Awooo!’

Suddenly, a shrill howl shook his mind.

The demons were coming…

The dark gargoyles that were on guard in the sky swooped down.

“Lord, several demon hounds are coming from the South…”

This tightly knitted Richard’s brows. But he still did not avoid these monsters.

He was worried about the hundreds of thousands of demon troops behind him. And these demon hounds were just appetizers.

He waved his hand violently.

“Immediately enter the village and build a defensive line!!”

The troop moved faster.

When he got closer, he could see the details of the village.

The village was built on a low hill by the river. Only a 60 to 70-meter-long steep slope could enter the front.

Some houses still wafted smoking, and the smell of burnt furniture was a little pungent.

A river nearly 300 meters wide lie to the east of the village. However, because the water level had dropped, tons of sand grains were exposed from the river.

Richard came to the riverbank when the army entered the village.

His heart moved as he looked at the sand on the riverbed.

The endless yellow sand on his body flashed.

In an instant.

The sand in the river seemed to have lost its gravity. It floated in the thin air and condensed into a vast river of sand in mid-air.

Beyond A-rank skill, Yellow Sand Control.

After Richard’s control reached a limit, with a wave of his hand, the wet sand directly surged into the village.

‘Crash!’

A lot of sand fell that paved the road with a thick layer of shell…

A few colossal deep holes remained in the riverbed after some consecutive operations.

Meanwhile, fine sand shrouded most of the village…

Richard had forcefully created a home ground suitable for Twilight City’s troops to fight in.

Every Beyond A-rank skill had the power of a natural disaster.

‘Awooo!’

A mournful howl rapidly approached.

Richard immediately entered the village and looked into the distance from a high vantage point.

In his line of sight, a large group of demon hounds that emitted an evil aura appeared. Their entire bodies were pitch black, and their bodies were only slightly smaller than a horse.

As they ran, their throats continuously let out a low roar that made one’s heart tremble. Their monstrous mouths filled with razor-sharp teeth secreted a highly toxic mucus, pulling out long thin threads in the air.

Their ferocious appearance was enough to make the hearts of the determined veterans tremble.

At a glance, there were probably more than five squadrons.

“Prepare for battle!!”

Richard’s cold voice immediately caused the army of Twilight City to tense up to the extreme.

Killing intent was awe-inspiring.

Tall grass mounds covered their vision on the opposite village’s river bank.

At this moment, the two players hiding in the grass were so shocked that they could not return to their senses for a long time.

The scene of countless grains of sand that flew into the sky made them feel like they were in a dream.

That was simply a miracle!

“Was this something that players could do at this stage? That was simply a joke!… This kind of power is nothing more than a hang-up, right?!”

The two of them only returned to their senses after a long time. They looked at each other and swallowed their saliva.

The younger one was the first to speak.

“Third brother… that, that guy is a player! He can’t be an NPC, right? How can a player be so strong?”

The player he called Third Brother stuttered.

“But, maybe he is… Old Brother, didn’t you see? I just detected an ID…”

“What ID?”

“Qingqiu…”

Old Brother was stunned. “Qingqiu? Why does this name sound familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere…”

He shook his head and gritted his teeth.

“Forget it. I don’t care who that is. I just want to ask, what should we do about our quest?

“The other party is pointing at us to enter that village to retrieve the quest item.”

Old Brother got excited as he spoke.

“That NPC is ultimately a big shot of the evil faction. He escaped from being besieged by so many dragon knights. If we hug the other party’s thigh tightly, this dungeon will be able to take off…

“I don’t care who Qingqiu is. We must not let him stop us from completing our mission!”
