A trail of dust.
The void sandworm in the land of quicksand opened a portal, and Richard watched as the troop filed. He felt a sense of excitement he had missed for a long time.
A special feeling always rose whenever he led troops to battle.
It could be the battlefield, the gunpowder smoke, or perhaps the romance that belonged to men.
This time, he brought along a total of 150 squads with him.
The sandstorm controllers had reached a hundred teams.
The guardian mummies were 90 squads.
Sixty-eight squads of crown-level king mummies and twenty-seven squads of radiant moon-level king mummies joined the team.
In addition, 15 teams of skeleton blood dragons also joined the battle force.
Total troop strength reached 550 squads.
Those were crown-level troops.
In addition, level 23 vampire archduchess Loreinna, level 19 dark soul eater Kratos, level 18 mummy hero Gunter, and the level 16 dragon hero Alves participated in the battle.
It was not an exaggeration to say that this troop was the backbone of the powerful indigenous forces.
Loreinna stood beside Richard. She watched the troop march.
Her silver eyes were notoriously attractive.
A moment later, she said slowly, “Lord, do we need the Vampire Clan in this battle siege?”
Her gentle tone conveyed a hint of laziness.
Richard turned his head to look at the voluptuous vampire archduchess. He gestured for the dimensional door to the vampire castle. Richard sensed the evil aura from inside. He spoke slowly.
“How long will it take for that plane to merge with the Primary Plane?”
“I couldn’t ascertain. The vampires had descended a week ago, but something could have blocked them.”
Loreinna said with a light tone.
The Evil Plane that was about to merge with the vampire castle emitted constant energy that could purify the blood of the Vampire Clan.
The feeling of becoming stronger while lying down made her very intoxicated.
At this rate, she could reach level 24 soon! The next step up was the magnificent level–glorious.
Everything was in front of her. A tentacle can reach her.
No one could resist this temptation.
Richard was in a good mood.
Each increase in the subordinate’s strength would bolster more of his confidence.
The Vampire Clan troop will continue to stay inside and advance. Richard would summon them for support had the situation on the battlefield changed.
“There won’t be such a good environment when that Evil Plane descends.”
Richard wouldn’t want Loreinna to join the battle if it weren’t for the Raging Blood Duke’s threat.
However, from the looks of it, the benefits of conquering Ell’s Plane wouldn’t surpass hiding in the vampire castle and passively leveling up.
Richard seemed to have thought of something and continued after a simple reminder.
“Has Rebecca made any new moves recently?”
The eldest daughter of the Frost Wolf Grand Duke searched for the vampire treasure–Vampire Staff, to open some ancient ruins.
The vampire archduchess briefly talked to her when she visited the vampire castle some time ago.
Loreinna shook her head.
“Two days ago, Miss Rebecca seemed to have something important to attend to and quickly left.”
“She asked me to tell you… She would give you a gift which she promised to bring until we meet again.”
“You must tell her should you plan to visit Ice Empire.”
“Left?”
Richard frowned.
“Is there any news about the Vampire Staff?”
Loreinna jolted her head.
“Nothing. Rebecca didn’t find any traces of the Vampire Staff. It seems like she found another way to open the ruins…”
Richard understood.
Rebecca was different. She had a powerful family to rely on, and the Frost Wolf Grand Duke was a legendary existence.
He felt subtly emotional. He had long wanted to visit the Ice Empire. But he couldn’t find the time to do so in such a troubled time.
During the two days of conversation, the last batch of troops had also passed through the spatial gate. Richard looked at the god’s ancient tree.
“Treebeard, wait here and prepare.
“We are expectant of a great war in the Ell Kingdom.
“I will summon you when the battle intensifies. You must come immediately when that happens.”
The effect of this bottomless boss on the battlefield was not inferior to that of a transcendent.
Treebeard responded in a muffled voice.
“As you wish, Lord…”
Richard nodded and no longer hesitated.
He turned, sat on Alves, and drove over. The A-rank undead dragon flew into the spatial gate.
Loreinna spread her broad, malevolence-filled dark red bat wings and followed behind.
Kratos, the dark soul eater, stepped in with his Dark Servants.
Richard passed through the portal and felt coolness.
There was even a slight chill.
It was winter during January, the coldest season. They would immediately face average weather once they left the desert.
The power of the yellow sand surged around Richard’s body and immediately dispelled the chill. At the same time, the Desert Crown Robe also emitted warmth.
Only now did he have the time to look around.
A sparse patch of trees appeared before Richard. A thin layer of frost and snow covered the crisp green trees and grasses. White colors reflected each other.
He stepped into such an environment from the dead and withered desert and made people happy.
However, the gloomy clouds in the sky dissipated his good mood sparingly.
That was not the first time Richard had stepped into the Ell Kingdom. The two princesses summoned him from the tomb of the gods.
