It took a long time for Richard to recover from his excitement.
Now that he had obtained the underground world he had longed for, the next step would be to make arrangements for its development.
There were so many things that he didn’t know where to start.
The soldier at the gate came to report that Sel Bloodhoof wanted to see him while he pondered.
!!
Richard returned to his senses and called in the Exchange Department.
Richard’s presence stunned Sel, the lord of Bloodhoof City.
The scene of the first time he met him appeared in front of him in a daze.
Richard was only level 9 back then.
His uttermost reliance was the heavily damaged extraordinary mechanical puppet.
In a short period of two to three months.
The other party had already grown to the point he didn’t need the mechanical puppet to exert enormous pressure on him.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions. He stepped forward and saluted with extreme respect.
“Lord Richard.”
The Bloodhoof City lord’s change in attitude sparingly surprised Richard.
The two were initially on equal footing. But to get along was hard, as well as before, as Twilight City rapidly grew.
Strength was the only pass.
The underground world, which believed in the law of the jungle, had magnified this rule to the extreme.
Richard chuckled after a moment of silence.
“No need to be so polite, Sel.”
“Bloodhoof City is still Twilight City’s ally. You, Sel Bloodhoof, are still my friend.”
Sel’s body trembled, and it complicated his expression.
Finally, he let out a long breath and saluted again.
“Thank you.”
The caution in his eyes mostly disappeared, and his expression was much more sincere after he straightened up.
He said with a smile.
“My Lord, Bloodhoof had captured all the gray-colored dwarf cities.
“We’ve gathered all the resources you didn’t find before. We will send them to Fortress City.”
Richard’s face showed excitement as Sel said that.
“The underground world is now ours.
“Next, no one could compete with us for resources!”
The words brightened Richard’s eyes.
The underground world’s natural environment was harsh, and food was scarce. But it also had its growth-rich minerals.
The thousands of thoughts and not knowing where to start gradually became clear.
“Tell me, what are your thoughts on your future development?”
Next, Bloodhoof City would become his representative to rule the underground world.
There was a need for serious planning.
Sel immediately became excited.
“Lord, the most crucial thing for Bloodhoof City now is to restore our troops. Now that we have the resources of the gray-colored dwarves, we could reinforce them in at most three months.
“Second, continue to trade weapons with the surrounding forces.
“Third, pacify the underground world, conquer the chaotic areas, and bring all the forces under the rule of Bloodhoof City.
“Finally, explore and clean up the unexplored areas of the underground world, and take complete control of it…”
Sel well thought of the plans although they weren’t exquisite.
A peaceful underground world was more in line with the interests of Twilight City.
Richard nodded but didn’t comment.
They had suppressed the gray-colored dwarves, and although the remaining races were powerful, they were not united.
Their existence had no value if Bloodhoof City couldn’t even pile with loose sand.
