Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Novel - Chapter 1051
Chapter 1051 585: Great Ancient Challenge [1/2]
The light was dim, and in the sealed underground passage, the Twilight City troops formed a defensive position. The evil dragon wings stood before them. The stone statues of the dead held their tomahawks tightly behind them, ready to attack at any time.
The voice came from the darkness ahead. That gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression.
The low roar sounded like a wild beast that hunted its prey.
‘Roar!’
The voice suddenly broke through. A monster with a body twisted like a fried dough twist, a spear-like tail, and a fierce gaze appeared under the illumination of the dark red light.
The eyes of those monsters instantly turned blood-red, and they charged forward like cheetahs when they saw the evil dragon wings.
‘Whew!’
They pounced over.
The evil dragon wings did not show any weakness. They raised their strange, triangular tomahawk and attacked.
‘Clang!’
The battle tomahawk clashed with the sharp claws of the monsters. That caused sparks to explode.
That shone the surrounding space.
A cruel and crazy close combat broke out in the narrow space.
The stone statues of the dead behind them did not even have the space to attack.
They were the long-tailed beasts of the past.
[Level: 20]
[??]
[??]
[Transcendent Troop]
Richard’s eyes narrowed.
He didn’t expect that the gatekeepers of this land of the past would be so fierce.
The power of yellow sand surged on his body.
The sand in the passage spread out and covered the area before them. That slowed the long-tailed beasts down unknowingly.
One could determine a difference of one point outcome in a close combat.
The ferocious wings of the evil dragon slashed wildly. They could break the long-tailed beasts at a disadvantage in strength if they could not dodge in time.
They cut the sharp claws of a long-tailed beast of the past off with generous violence. The triangular battle tomahawks slashed at their chests.
Fresh blood spurted out.
The evil dragon wings seized the opportunity to pursue, and the power on their bodies grew stronger and stronger. In the end, they severed the long-tailed beasts into two.
They were under Richard’s command, although the long-tailed beasts were of the same level as the evil dragon wings.
Richard had a lot of skills that could increase the attributes of his troops. He could enormously increase their strength even if he did not understand them.
The first wave of three teams of the great ancient ones fell quickly under the violent attack of the evil dragon wings.
The corpses of the ancient long-tailed beasts would turn into blood in a few breaths and disappear on the ground. That was interesting.
That dashed Richard’s plan to collect the corpses.
The corpses of transcendent soldiers were also good things.
Richard had an idea of what was going on, although, for most players, extraordinary troops were enough to be a nightmare after the first round of clashes.
However, it would not be too difficult to kill them with the power of Twilight City.
Richard immediately ordered the troop to speed up.
The further down the passage, the more light came from the cliff. Crimson light shrouded the way.
It made the atmosphere sparingly strange.
Soon, the second wave of enemies appeared before them.
However, Richard did not let the evil dragon wings shake. He took the time to deploy two teams of stone statues of the dead.
The stone statues of the dead had already thrown the tomahawks in their hands. The battle started, and the long-tailed beats of the ancient ones attacked.
The troops had reached Radiant Moon 3-stars and a level 17 stone statues of the dead. The system had upgraded its Life Skill, Battle Axe Throw again.
The 20 battle tomahawks exploded in such a small space. That covered an overlapping attack range. Several attacks hit those long-tailed beasts at close range.
A scorching wave of air surged.
More than half of the long-tailed beasts of the great ancient ones before them had already fallen before the evil dragon wings could attack.
They did not attack the remaining few and survived.
The evil dragon wings quickly cleared the long-tailed beats under their frenzied stance.
[Ding~ You have killed two batches of long-tailed beasts of the great ancient ones. Attack progress increased to 10%.]
The situation returned to silence, and Richard heard a system notification.
They were only five or six squads. That’s already 10%? In that case, there were only five or six squadrons of soldiers in the entire land of the great ancient ones.
That’s true. Players are only allowed to bring two squadrons of soldiers. They can’t farm soldiers indefinitely.”
The system notification suddenly rang again at this thought.
[Ding~ Your progress in conquering the 4-stars great ancient ones exceeded 10%. The system opened great ancient ones ‘ranking board’ for you.]
Richard was a little surprised. “A ranking board?”
He opened the attribute panel and immediately found the new ranking board on the player forum.
[The land of the great ancient ones strategy ranking board.]
[1st place: 1 (2-stars), Production: Recruit one squadron of Glorious 3-stars, level 10 ancient troops weekly. (Challengable.)]
[2nd place: Eldos, Number of Old Lands Conquered: 3 (1-star), Production: Able to convert five small teams into old troops every week. (Challengable.)]
[Third place…]
The second chapter had only been out for less than a day. But the rankings were already densely packed beyond the 1,000.
There would be more if one weren’t only ranked 1,000,
Richard took a few glances and became very interested.
That was because every player on the ranking board had a selection at the back that one could challenge.
“What was the meaning of this?”
He clicked on it with intense curiosity.
[Do you wish to challenge the player ‘Dragon Scale’, the land of the great ancient ones?]
[Note: 35 people have failed the challenge. The maximum number of challengers per week for each ancient land is 100 times. Each person could only challenge once a week.]
