Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 686: New “Ghent” and preparation
Chapter 686 New "Ghent" and preparations
"Please name the new city"
"Ghent!"
Richard, who had chosen a useless name, was too lazy to waste his brain. Since the cave demons had been calling this place Ghent, he just made do with it.
The dungeon is different from other castles, and also very different from the image in the game.
Due to the special terrain, Ghent did not have a city wall in the traditional sense. Instead, a thick stone wall was laid along the cave like tiles.
The layout is somewhat like the last stronghold of humanity in The Matrix.
The internal layout of the cave has also changed drastically, with several buildings appearing out of thin air.
"Congress Hall: Provides you with 4,000 gold coins every week.
Advanced Dark Cave: The first-level soldier lair in the dungeon, which can provide 20 **** cavemen every week.
Advanced Hall of Silence: The fourth-level soldier lair in the dungeon can provide 4 Medusa queens every week.
Advanced Evil Eye Pillar: The third-level soldier nest in the dungeon can provide 6 evil eyes every week.
Advanced Manticore Lair: The den of level six soldiers in the dungeon, which can provide one poisonous manticore every week.
Mother of Sandworms: Hidden level 6 troop lair, which can provide a giant sandworm every week. ”
"Five tauren kings have joined your team."
"Five manticores have joined your team."
After checking the list of buildings in the new city, Richard couldn't help but frown.
Ghent City’s start was nothing short of luxurious, but Richard was still a little dissatisfied.
The main reason is that the effect of using Dungeon Heart did not meet his expectations and did not match his European emperor's temperament.
The five high-end buildings are independent of the Congress and provide gold coins every week, so the price/performance ratio is pretty good.
In Richard's eyes, the advanced hidden caves are just for fun.
Twenty **** cavemen are produced in a week, which is only slightly stronger than those caveman warriors outside. Twenty bundles together in this underground are not enough to kill one cave dweller, and there is not enough to save a certain amount to deal with the current Richard. It's almost useless.
Among the five random high-end buildings, one has the lowest cost performance.
Didn't follow Richard's idea and directly create a high-level dragon lair for him to recruit black dragons. There was only an unsatisfactory existence like the Manticore Lair.
The final random high-level troops sent did not include top-level troops, only a few Tauren and Manticores were given.
The Tauren King's combat power is comparable to that of an ordinary cave demon. The Scorpion Lion can suppress an ordinary cave demon, which is actually not bad.
If your expectations are too high, you will be easily disappointed.
However, several high-end buildings meet the prerequisites for the construction of dragon lair.
There is no need to care about how much resources are consumed. After a few seconds, the dragon lair was built, and the first red dragon was recruited by Richard.
Fortunately, the space in the dungeon is large enough, and the ten-meter-long red dragon does not seem to be constrained when walking a few steps in the city of Ghent, if it does not fly.
It’s just that there are some differences between reality and the game. Although the red dragon can also move in the dungeon, it is difficult to get the best use of it. After watching the red dragon carefully fly in a circle, Richard decided to wait for the advanced dragon lair to be built. Okay, after upgrading, bring the black dragon from the dungeon to the surface for use.
On the other hand, the giant sandworms produced in special buildings are obviously more suitable for the environment here.
These disgusting-looking creatures are all milky white, nearly ten meters long, and about a little over a meter in diameter at their thickest point. They have no limbs and rely entirely on their bodies to wriggle, like large earthworms.
There are no facial features visible on the head. There is a big mouth full of fangs that takes up the entire head.
When the mouth is opened, it can even reach more than twice its diameter
If you are sucked in by this big mouth and take a bite, the smaller ones will be swallowed immediately, and the larger ones will have to eat large pieces of meat with these sharp teeth.
Recruit all the troops in the creature's lair, and then mix them with a few poisonous scorpion lions and minotaur kings.
Ghent also has preliminary defensive capabilities, which can at least buy Ziyue City on the ground some reaction time.
Without any further delay in Ghent, Richard quickly led his people back to Magma City.
By the way, Gengs was ordered to bring some of the cave demon elites to the ground.
The reason is to recruit for the upcoming war.
In fact, he was worried about letting the cave demons escape from his control during this period of time.
After all, it is a saint and a group of high-level soldiers. If the opponent is not angry and is driven out of the territory by Richard, he will turn around and attack Ghent while Richard returns to the ground, causing damage to Ghent. That kind of loss is Li Cha's. The inspection was absolutely unbearable.
Although the possibility of the Gent rebellion being attacked by Gent was very low in the face of a great king, it had to be guarded against.
…
Magma City
Diabo’s original meeting hall
Those red decorations that can drive people crazy have been removed by Richard.
The red carpet turned into plain slate, and most of the shining gems were removed.
Except for the lofty throne, the entire hall no longer had the nouveau riche feel it had when Diabo was there.
Completely in accordance with Richard's aesthetics, the design is simple, concise, and majestic.
Elise and Gengs still felt a little strange and uncomfortable when they entered the hall.
Especially when I saw Thousand-Eyed Mordorwu standing in the hall.
After being stared at by Duowu's thousands of pairs of eyes, a huge sense of crisis hit them. Gengs and Elise almost had the urge to run away.
Fortunately, reason still prevailed over instinct. Now we are all working under Richard and we are not enemies.
Duowu just glanced at them and turned away.
"I have decided to conquer Mao Ge. Do you have any suggestions?"
As soon as the saints in Magma City arrived, Richard said something that made them unbelievable.
Except for Lucifer and Gengs, the remaining three holy demons were shocked and confused.
Who is Mao Ge?
A powerful man at the level of a great king, a supreme being who has ruled the Southern Region for thousands of years.
From their birth to their growth, as long as they can remember, Maoge has been the sky of the Southern Territory. The most powerful Ziyue Demon in existence that they know, with four generals under his command, should now be in the realm of the three major territories. Gan Jiang, the nearly invincible demon army under his command has conquered countless races and worlds.
Even as strong as Diabo, he has never disobeyed the idea of Mao Ge and will faithfully submit sacrifices to Mao Ge every year.
All the forces in the Southern Territory have always been like this.
The scene was quiet for a moment, and then Elise, who had the most flexible mind and the best information, reacted.
Immediately replied:
"Sir, if you take action, Mao Ge will definitely not be your opponent."
"However, Mao Ge also has three high-level demons from the Realm of Realm, more than two digits of ordinary holy leaders, and an army of millions of demons that fight all year round."
Elise first spoke up to Richard. In fact, she didn't know whether Richard or Mao Ge was stronger.
However, excluding the factor of the king-level masters on both sides, there is a huge gap between the forces under Magma City and Mao Ge.
Don't look at the fact that Richard almost completely took over the entire power of Ziyue City, and even forced the Thousand-Eyed Demon Clan, the largest tribe around, to surrender.
But in fact, these combined are not worth one-tenth of Mao Ge's men.
The army of millions of demons under Mao Ge are not the low-level siege cannon fodder recruited by Duowu. They are all made up of middle- and high-level demons.
There are also several special elite legions, and holy masters will be crushed if they fall into them.
In Elise's opinion, it is very irrational to take the initiative to attack Maoge at this time.
Gengs did not answer on the side, but after Elise finished speaking, he nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with the other party's statement.
"Hey, General Yanmo died here, do you still expect to live in peace with Lord Maoge?"
On the other hand, Duowu, who was forced to come by Lucifer, raised a different opinion and pointed out the issues that Elise avoided.
The Fire Demon Carlson died at the hands of Richard.
Although Lord Maoge doesn't care about the conflicts between the various forces in the southern region, he only needs to pay tribute on time.
But that was a situation where the following forces did not offend him. The current situation is that the Fire Demon General Carlson, one of his four generals, died at the hands of Richard.
Will Mao Ge still ignore it as before?
Elise hesitated for a moment and said in a hesitant tone:
"Carlson probably didn't report to Lord Maoge and came here privately."
This is not difficult to judge.
Nearly a week has passed since the Fire Demon Carlson was killed by Richard.
The Southern Territory King has not reacted at all. If Fire Demon Carlson comes to take over Ziyue City, it will be Mao Ge’s will.
So judging from Mao Ge's domineering style in the Southern Territory, Carlson should have reacted as soon as Mao Ge died, instead of being as calm as now.
"Humph."
Duowu didn't answer, just snorted twice, disdainfully continuing to talk to Elise, a "weak".
Duowu knew very well that he and Richard had been bound together since the Thousand-Eyed Demon clan moved to Magma City.
The overbearing King of the Southern Territory would not care whether he was forced to join Richard's command.
He will only use the cruelest means to tell all the demons in the Southern Region the consequences of offending him.
If possible, Duowu just wants to stay away from this whirlpool, but now that Duowu has boarded the pirate ship, the only thing he can hope for is that Richard can defeat Maoge and become the new master of the Southern Territory.
"Sir, the remaining three generals of Mao Ge are not weak. I can hold off at least one of them."
"Although Mao Ge's army has not all gathered together, there will be at least 300,000 troops around Black Abyss City."
"If the war lasts too long, more troops will gather in Black Abyss City."
"Compared to Lord Mao Ge, our military strength is seriously insufficient."
Having been able to fight against Diabo for so long, Duowu is not a fool. On the contrary, he has much wider knowledge and a better understanding of the forces under the Southern Territory Lord.
Compared to Elise and others who still had illusions, Dou knew more clearly how serious the consequences of killing Carlson would be.
Although Mao Ge basically didn't care much about the demonic forces outside Black Abyss City, that was only if he was not offended.
If Mao Ge feels offended, in order to maintain his majesty, the army of Black Abyss City will let the demons in the southern region understand what cruelty means.
Richard's killing of Carlson was undoubtedly a serious act of provocation.
As soon as the news reaches Mao Ge's ears, Magma City will immediately face the attack of Black Abyss City, and no one in the entire Magma City can escape.
The battle with Black Abyss City is just a matter of time.
After Duowu briefly told Richard about the power of Black Abyss City, he focused all his attention on Richard, wanting to see Richard's reaction.
Richard behaved very calmly, without any trace of panic. He held his head with one hand and looked confident.
"Strength is not a problem. We must assemble the troops as soon as possible and be ready. We will send out troops in a week. This time I only want elites!"
"Yes, sir!"
"The Thousand-Eyed Demon Clan will fight to the end for you!"
Seeing that Richard had made up his mind, Duowu stopped talking and was the first to jump out and express his support.
It's not that he is very loyal to Richard, it's because he has no choice but to follow Richard.
At least, Richard is also a powerful king-level man, so the situation is not so desperate.
After Duowu expressed his stance, Elise and Gengs had no room for hesitation and immediately expressed their loyalty.
No matter how fierce Mao Ge's reputation is, it is still far away in the horizon. Where can he compare with Richard who is sitting in the upper position at this time.
In this way, Magma City, which had just experienced the war, mobilized with all its strength, coupled with the demon army brought by Duowu, and eliminating cannon fodder such as the little lemures, they managed to form an army of 200,000.
The most basic soldiers here have combat power equivalent to that of low-level knights, which can produce a natural disaster-like effect on the current continent.
But using them to attack Mao Ge's Black Abyss City still seemed a bit shabby.
Richard seemed a little impatient in sending troops, but in reality he was not.
Since a battle with the Southern Territory Lord is unavoidable, it is better to fight early than to fight at night.
Instead of waiting for the opponent to organize their troops to attack, it is better to take the initiative to launch an attack before the opponent can react and catch the opponent off guard.
Besides, the troops under Richard's command are not necessarily weaker than Mao Ge.
