Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Novel - Chapter 1102
1102 Chapter 609: Children Born in the Desert, I Am the Lord You Believe In, Richard
“Solan City will always be the territory of the Solan Family no matter how the situation changes or collapses. That will never change.”
The Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City stared at the magic letter. He was like a statue. He remained static for a long time.
He slowly closed the letter, folded it, and put it in his arms.
He did all this and let out a long sigh. He turned to look at the colorful angel oil painting on the wall. His gaze became profound.
Some doubtful words broke the quiet atmosphere.
“Master, that Grace Mainland Overlord… Will it succeed?”
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in his fifties who stood in an inconspicuous corner. His eyes were bright, and killing intent filled his brows.
It had four arms. That was the most riveting.
The Grand Duke did not speak. The other party hesitated for a moment before he continued.
“After all, he is the Desert God. He is a terrifying existence who once held power!
“It’s no different from asking a tiger for its skin, although the Grace Mainland Overlord is extraordinary. It will inevitably lead to an irreversible outcome once something goes wrong. Solan City might even fall…”
These words were not to scare people, but the other party’s ambition was too shocking.
The four-armed man was still shocked when he thought of that information.
The other party wanted to use the hands of the Desert God to swallow the entire Desert Sect!
He would replace him.
This exaggerated plan sounded like something spoken after a drink of three jars of rum. Was the other party joking? That was his first impression.
Borrowing the power of the gods to swallow the other party’s sect, wasn’t that nonsense?
However, just as he felt it was ridiculous, he suddenly thought of something.
He wasn’t an ordinary Grace Mainland Overlord but a Slayer God. He was the mastermind behind the change of the Holy Church Empire throne and the controller of Ell!
In the face of such an illustrious battle record, the sense of absurdity in his heart quietly turned into hesitation.
However, this plan was too shocking. The other party still couldn’t believe it.
Slaying a god was simple compared to this plan.
The Grand Duke turned to look at the four-armed man in the shadows with a subtle gaze.
“Shadow, how many choices do you think we have?”
The four-armed man was stunned for a moment before he answered in confusion.
“My Lord, we already have the capital of the Holy Church Empire as our foundation. We’ve also joined forces with several dukes. The power we wield is more than ten times that of before.”
“Why haven’t you chosen yet?”
A complicated look flashed across the Grand Duke’s eyes.
“Is this power mighty?
“Which god was weaker than us before one stripped authority? And the result?”
He sighed.
“The demons in the whisper mountains in the west have made their move, right?
“Those believers of the curse of the dark devil in the dark should be unable to suppress it any longer, right?
“Two other gods who might have snuck into the city.
“The power of the Holy Church City is tens of times greater than that of Solan City, but at the same time, the threats they face are also more terrifying.”
“I would choose Solan City without hesitation if I had to choose between Holy Church City and Solan City.
“Solan City is our foundation.”
The Grand Duke’s gaze became increasingly complicated.
“They were gods, demons, undead, devils, heretics, ambitious people, great nobles, and merchants. The situation has already become so chaotic that it’s difficult for us to control it.
“Now, everything I’m doing is for Solan City’s survival. That’s all.”
The four-armed man in the shadows fell silent.
He did not expect a vitality-filled situation to become fragile in Grand Duke Solan’s eyes.
The Grand Duke calmed his fluctuating emotions and continued.
“The outcome might not be as we wish, but no one can avoid this turmoil.
“We need a powerful ally as a partner. Lord Richard is the ally I have chosen.
“Solan City had already entered the trap when I met Richard.
“Now, we can only fully support Lord Richard and achieve our goal.”
That confused the four-armed man.
“Grand Duke, although the Grace Mainland Overlord possesses astonishing strength, we don’t have to place such a heavy bet on this overlord or even hand Solan City over to him. We can’t bear the consequences if anything goes wrong.”
The Grand Duke looked at him deeply.
“Shadow, a real gambler’s hand is not always good. He knows when to bet and puts all his chips on!”
“My chips are all on Sir Richard. As for your worries, I can tell you that Lord Richard is more powerful than you think!”
“Otherwise, why do you think several dukes and dozens of high nobles cooperated with us when we supported the Third Prince to ascend the throne?”
“More importantly, the PhoenixTail Flower Chamber of Commerce has also chosen Lord Richard, although it doesn’t show its strength on the surface. The old man in the Red Dragon General Store is a demigod!”
“It’s not an exaggeration to say that Solan City is far inferior to the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce. This force also placed a heavy bet on Lord Richard.”
He has also sensed a hidden and powerful faction behind him.
“It’s not just the Holy Church Empire. Even the Frostwolf Clan, a top-tier clan in the Ice Empire, has sent a message earlier. They want to develop a deeper level of cooperation with Solan City. They’re even willing to form an alliance between the Holy Church Empire and the Ice Empire…”
The Grand Duke’s expression became even more solemn.
“The establishment of the Ell Players Association and the creation of the Ell Alliance once again confirmed my guess.
“Lord Richard, there must be a hidden force behind this. That force is so powerful that they do not fear the gods!
“Otherwise, the other party wouldn’t dare to expose himself in front of everyone so brazenly!
“And according to the reactions of the gods and the turmoil of the situation, that force is very likely to be the ancient gods who have revived the great ancient ones.”
These words shocked the four-armed man in the shadows.
‘An ancient god had revived the past?
‘Does the other party have something to do with this power?’
The four-armed man took a deep breath. He slowly lowered his head.
“His Excellency, I was too narrow-minded.”
The Grand Duke narrowed his eyes and said word by word.
“So, since you’ve already placed your bet, don’t hesitate or be stingy.
“Have someone protect Christy. Leave the rest to Lord Richard.
“Some people think they could turn the tables with a backup plan. But I don’t think so. How can we survive in despair without the courage to stake?!”
His powerful words made the four-armed man bow his head again.
No one could defy the Grand Duke’s will, although he was not in Solan City, as the ruler of this giant city at the edge of the desert.
The connivance of the Solan City guards accomplished the rapid spread of the Desert Sect with the tacit consent.
On November 15th, the Desert God announced he would descend on the central square of Solan City and accept the worship of all his believers.
Solan City troops were silent for half a month. They moved.
Several troops alerted, and the pegasus knights in the sky almost blocked the sun.
Moreover, several city hall staff took to the streets to maintain order and informed all the believers with certainty.
The ruler of the Desert Sect was the Grand Duke’s best friend and closest ally.
The Grand Duke approved the expansion of the Desert Sect.
He wanted the believers to go and worship without worry.
He also informed his followers he would hand over the Desert Sect’s safety to the Solan City.
Until the Desert Sect gradually returned to the troops of the Church.
The followers of the Desert Sect immediately fell into excitement with the official endorsement of Solan City.
The great Desert God did not lie to them. A god had come to save them!
Countless believers rushed to the central square. Those non-believers also crowded over to join in the fun.
The scene became exaggerated. That almost caused a stampede.
Fortunately, they prepared the city hall. They immediately used magic to broadcast the scene of the square in real-time on the main streets and limited the number of people.
Only then did the crowd ease up.
Twilight City residents anticipated the whole day. They suddenly saw a yellow-filled sky from Solan City.
It surged into the city from the sky like a river that raged.
The endless yellow sand from the ground flew into the sky and roared. The scene was as shocking as a miracle.
The light dazzled under the setting sun. That shocked the scene with indescribable holiness.
The yellow sand surged and flowed to the top of the central square under the watchful eyes of countless people.
Then, the yellow sand rippled.
They gradually transformed into a giant throne that could support the sky and suppress the void in the feverish atmosphere.
That formed the throne.
Sand covered a majestic figure in the desert. One could not see his face. He slowly sat on the throne.
The other party’s body did not match the yellow sand throne. No one felt it was out of place. Instead, the size of the throne set off the other party’s majesty.
The moment they sat down.
An indescribable pressure swept across the world.
It caused countless people’s hearts to tremble.
“Children born in the desert, I am your lord, your eternal faith…Richard.”
