Early in the morning of May 19.
The mummies of the six squads had all been fortified.
After Richard instructed Karu, he replenished his supplies and left Twilight City with his troop.
The territory had 120 guardian mummies protecting it, so he was not afraid of making any incautiousness.
This time, his goal was also very clear—the one-way portal.
He had thought about this 1-star dungeon for a long time.
Two hours later, Richard stood in front of the five-meter-tall one-way teleportation portal, which looked like a rippling wave in the middle.
His gaze was sharp.
“At first, I said that I would come after I have gathered a squadron of rare soldiers. Now, I have achieved my goal.”
After he said this, Richard subconsciously looked up at the sky.
He did not forget that he had seen a level 15 giant dragon nearby.
That ferocious appearance left a deep impression on him.
“Everything will come… We can raid dungeons, and the dragon will be captured and used as a mount!”
As Richard retracted his thoughts, he looked at the sparkling one-way portal.
“Bandaged mummies, go, scout the way! Scorpion warriors, follow. Gray, bring the undead soldiers and enter last.”
The son of a thousand gold did not sit in danger.
Naturally, there was no need for him to take the lead when it came to scouting the way.
The order was given, and six teams of bandaged mummies immediately stepped into the portal.
With a flash of light, they disappeared within.
The scorpion warriors followed closely behind. Gray waited for a moment before it entered with the undead soldiers.
After Richard waited for another five minutes, he entered with five cursed pharaohs.
The moment he passed through the portal, he felt as if he had passed through a layer of gauzes. The touch was soft.
With just one step, his line of sight suddenly widened.
He appeared in a forest that had been burned by the fire.
The air was filled with a special burnt smell, which was very pungent.
All he could see were dried and pitch-black tree branches. The ground was also covered in black ash. Just from the thick ash on the ground, one could tell how violent the fire was.
There were no sparks or thick smoke in the tree branches. It was obvious that the fire had burnt for some time.
At this moment, Gray led the troops to stand guard nearby. There was no battle.
Everything was safe.
[Ding~ You have entered a time fragment — Burning Village (1-star dungeon)]
[Main Mission Triggered: Protect White Tower Town and allow it to remain in the flames of war. Please explore the other sub-missions on your own.]
[Note 1: The time fragment is not in the same timeline as the main plane. Time fragment 10 days = 1 day in the main plane.]
[Note 2: In the time fragment, you can not open the Lord’s Forum Chat.]
[Note 3: After completing the main mission or failing the main mission, you can leave the time fragment.]
The moment the system notification sounded, Richard turned his head to look behind him. At this time, there was no longer the shadow of the teleportation door behind him. There was only a burnt forest.
“It seems that there is no loophole in the one-way teleportation door. If I want to get out, I can only clear the dungeon.
“No, even if I fail, I can still go back… that’s interesting. But if I fail, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get any rewards.
“The main mission is to protect White Tower Town? Right now, we need to figure out where it is and how far it is from White Tower Town…”
After Richard thought for a moment, he immediately gave the order.
“Gray, you lead the team. Spread out the bandaged mummies and the scorpion warriors. Scout the surroundings and report back immediately if you encounter any enemies.”
Gray immediately began to make arrangements. He assigned the scorpion warriors to seven teams of bandaged mummies and went out to search as a team.
Richard used this time to read the description of the Black Gold System again.
[Burning Village, Dungeon Level: 1-star]
[Average Strength of Troops: Rare]
[With or Without Heroic Unit: Yes]
[Faction: Demon, Undead, Church, Human]
[Hint: Unable to level up the dungeon]
Demon, undead, church, human…two good factions, two evil factions.
“From the looks of it, this dungeon should be a battle between good and evil.
“Now, I need to figure out the surrounding environment and the specific situation of these factions before I can make a move.”
A 1-star dungeon shouldn’t be too difficult.
However, the game “Shining Era” had already become the real world, so it wasn’t a big mistake to be careful.
The biggest difference between the real world and the game was that the game had rules and logic, while reality never paid attention to logic. Anything could happen.
More than half an hour later.
Gray returned with a small team of bandaged mummies. The voice of the mummy hero was as empty as ever.
“Lord, we found a group of demons that attacked a human village on the east side of the forest.”
‘The demon and human camps had appeared?’
Richard was somewhat interested.
“What’s the situation now?”
Gray answered in detail.
“The demons are looking for a breakthrough in the human village. They haven’t launched an attack yet. Both sides are in a stalemate.
“There are more than three squadrons of demons. Among them, there are two squadrons of Elite 2-stars soldiers — inferior demons.
“One squadron of Rare 3-star soldiers—fallen demons.
“This troop has demon heroes commanding the battle.
“I’ve left two squadrons of bandaged mummies on guard.”
As expected of a dungeon. There were heroic units right from the start.
A troop led by a hero and a troop without a hero were two completely different concepts.
Not only could heroes command the army to fight, but they could also improve the overall strength of the army. Gray was the best example.
“Consolidate the troops and head to the human village immediately.”
“Yes, Lord!”
More than 20 minutes later, as they stepped on the thick black ash, the troop arrived at a small hill under Gray’s guidance.
Richard saw the village hundreds of meters away.
The village was surrounded by scorched trees, and the place was dead silent.
The structure of the human village was very special. Outside, there were tall houses made of rocks with shooting holes in them.
Hundreds of houses formed a huge oval-shaped building complex, which was no less than a fortress.
Among the houses, there was only one road that led to the inner part of the village.
At this time, several squadrons of demon troops glared at the tightly guarded tunnel.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
Although there were four to five hundred meters between them, the forest in front of them had been burned down by the fire. There was no cover, so Richard could see it clearly.
The thing that attracted his attention the most was naturally the demons.
The most numerous were the inferior demons that were about 1.7 meters tall.
The muscles on their bodies were covered with scars, and they bulge out one by one. They were much stronger than humans.
Their backs were bent, and their tails were long and thin. There were two curved horns on their heads, and three fingers were as sharp as daggers. Sharp fangs grew out of their big bloody mouths.
An evil aura gushed out. Perhaps, there was no more standard image of a demon than this.

[When the number of demons exceeded 50, their strength would increase by 60%, and their chaos would increase by 60% (activated).]
[Description: These chaotic lifeforms can only be accommodated in the abyss.]
The fallen demons were even more terrifying.
They were 1.8 meters tall and had a pair of small wings that could not fly on their backs.
They held a long handle in their hands. The other end of the handle was connected to a metal ball filled with sharp spikes through chains. When they swung the handle, they would emit a metallic friction sound that was unique to metal.
These terrifying evil creatures kept producing creepy sounds, like countless vengeful spirit whispers in one’s ear, that could make one’s heart tremble.

[Potential: Rare 3-stars]

[Race Talent: The life of a demon affected by the demon’s murmur, will listen to their commands for eternity. After death, the soul will belong to the fallen demon.]
[Shackle Evil Demon: When the number of demons exceeds 10, corrosion of the fallen abyss skill increased by 20%.]
[When the number of demons exceeds 10, corrosion of the Fallen into Abyss skill increases by 40%.]
When the number of demons exceeds 10, and corrosion of the Fallen into Abyss skill increases by 60% (activated).]
[Description: Covering your ears can not stop the corrosion of the Fallen into Abyss’s blasphemy on the soul.]
After Richard looked at the attributes of the two demons, his eyes focused.
Sure enough, one could not underestimate the enemy.
Although the inferior demons were a little funny, the attributes of the fallen demons were not simple.
While he pondered, he looked at the center of the demons.
One carriage after another was pulled by a small team of inferior demons.
The inferior demons were chained, and they were used as livestocks.
A tall demon with a flame whip in his hand sat on the carriage.
He wore black armor, and his face was more ferocious than the other demons.
‘Crack!’
The flame whip waved, and the flame tail exploded in the air. A crisp sound mixed with the heat was heard.
The inferior demons and the fallen demons trembled when they heard the sound, and they felt great fear.
Demon hero…
