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

Chapter 749 463: Unusual Activity In Twilight City, Emergence Of Ell Kingdom, Unknown Enemies [1/2]

?

Twilight City.

Richard left with his troop only a few days ago.

The entire city had entered the highest level of defense.

They loaded the alchemist's bombs. The sand condensation archers still guarded the arrow tower at all times. They had long drawn and loaded the dragon-hunting crossbows on the top of the arrow tower. They could quickly deal fatal damage whenever an enemy attacked.

The dark treants guarded the city wall.

The poisonous wasps danced among these withered treants and were as dense as black clouds.

Sun rays illuminated the clouds in the sky when the sun had sunk into the sand. Karu had paler hair and slowly walked up the city wall.

He looked at the golden desert with a complicated expression.

Black dots, the size of an ant, appeared in the desert after a long time.

Karu's gaze could not help but narrow.

He waved his hand to summon the guardian mummy beside him. A series of hurried footsteps came behind him just as he was about to give the order.

"Master Karu, we found two groups of refugees with a hundred people ahead!"

Master Karu turned around and looked at the young human soldier who came forward to report.

"Bring those refugees into the dark treants. Let them into the city after you have ensured their safety.

"At the same time, let the troop expand the scope of the exploration. Report unusual movements immediately."

Although Twilight City did not train human soldiers to fight, they still recruited a group of security personnel for management purposes.

They could maintain environmental hygiene and public order and deal with a few conflicts between neighbors during ordinary times.

They could also serve as reserves for the rear troop during a shortage of soldiers.

"Yes, Master!"

The young human soldier quickly departed.

A Twilight City troop stopped the refugees at the end of the dune and brought them to the dark treant for interrogation.

They brought these refugees into the city following a few rounds of questioning and a threat-free test. 

Master Karu watched this scene silently.

He frowned and thought about something.

"Master Karu, this is the seventh batch of refugees that have arrived in the past two days."

A voice beside Master Karu awakened him. He turned around and looked at the mummy hero wrapped in blood-colored bandages. He sighed.

"Commander Gunter, this is also my greatest concern."

His gaze carried some worry as he looked at the refugees they accepted according to the procedures.

"The Ell Kingdom is too mysterious…I've never heard of it."

Gunter said slowly, "After a few days of observation and interrogation, it might be as we speculated. The Ell Kingdom is another dimensional plane.

"These refugees are all from the desert that appeared in the chaotic space when they fled from that region."

Master Karu took a deep breath. His eyes turned grave.

"Commander Gunter, this is what I am worried about.

"Lord Richard has mentioned more than once that the desert of death will merge with other planes in the future."

His expression turned grave as he spoke.

"These refugees from the Ell Kingdom confirmed what you said.

"No one can predict what will happen in the future…"

Other planes would merge with the desert of death. That news wasn't something to be delighted about.

What would happen to the future if the refugees appeared now?

Would there be any terrifying monsters?

They learned from the refugees that the Ell Kingdom had a million soldiers and ruled over tens of millions of people.

It would be an unacceptable disaster if the other party appeared in the desert of death and attacked Twilight City.

Fortunately, he hadn't found a fixed space passage where the refugees appeared. The Ell Kingdom was still in the midst of internal strife, and the other party hadn't gathered their forces yet.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Gunter's voice sank.

"Master Karu, we need more military supplies and a stronger troop!"

Master Karu said, "I've already ordered Fortress City to produce alchemist's bombs and large-mouthed cannons at maximum capacity.

"The production workshop of the newly developed alchemist's bomb has been designed and will be put into production immediately.

"In terms of the troop, the number of troops in Bloodhoof City has already exceeded two legions."

The defensive power of Twilight City was still soul-strapping and relied on the foundation they had built up through life-and-death battles, even though Richard had transferred the main forces of Twilight City away.

Karu and Gunter walked and saw the mummy hero, Gray. It wore a crown and two ribbons that floated beside its ears. Gray stepped up the city wall.

A middle-aged man with a nervous expression stood beside the mummy hero.

"Master Karu."

Gray nodded slightly.

Karu was the head of internal affairs and never made a mistake. He was still the leader of Twilight City whenever Richard was out, although the two A-rank mummy heroes held high positions in the troop.

He faithfully obeyed Richard's rules and laws. Everyone must respect him.

Master Karu nodded and looked at the middle-aged man.

"Gray, who is this?"

The middle-aged man responded in a unique language.

"Master, I'm a civil servant from the Ell Kingdom. My name is Will…"

Master Karu was sparingly confused when he heard that voice. "What was this man talking about?"

Gray surged its magic power and immediately cast a language spell.

Only then could the two communicate understandably.

Master Karu had gotten used to this scene over the past two days. He asked again, and his eyes lit up when the man responded.
