Richard thought about it and sold the three poisoned warwolves. However, the system had marked them as inedible. Perhaps, some would be interested in the undead.
He ordered the Axe of the Dead to carry the two wargs after dealing with everything.
They returned to Twilight City under the moonlight.
The desert in the wilderness was no longer as hot as it was during the day. And the air was somewhat moist.
The vast desert could not be seen clearly under the shining moon. And the beholder could perceive a special kind of hazy beauty in it.
The journey was not starkly peaceful. After more than two hours of travel, they encountered more than a dozen assault troops from the wilderness.
However, they never encountered an enemy as powerful as the desert wargs.
They were overturned by the curse before they could make any waves under Gray’s control.
After a few battles, Richard had a direct understanding of the strength of this A-rank hero.
Although it didn’t have any damage skills, its exaggerated control made it impossible for its enemies to resist it.
It was simply outrageous with the combination of the Axe of the Dead and the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior troop’s strong attackers.
At 9 p.m., Richard, who had wiped through a field of wild monsters, finally returned to his territory.
The Axe of the dead had more than twenty prey. Richard didn’t even waste the soldiers’ corpses harvested and sold all of the undead to the market.
Although the price was not high, it was still an additional income.
After he returned to his territory in a good mood, he initially thought that the residents had gone to rest, but the scene before his eyes stunned him.
On the empty land, there were a few torches that were half-lit.
Under the dim light, a crowd of people seated on the ground fell asleep.
Many people still had uneasiness and worry on their faces. From time to time, they would turn their heads to look outside the territory as if they were waiting for someone to come.
A resident about to go to the toilet was slightly stunned when he saw Richard come in from the side. Then, he shouted excitedly.
“Lord Richard is back!”
The loud voice woke up the residents under the dim light. One by one, they turned their heads to look at Richard behind them.
When they saw the familiar figure, the worry on their faces disappeared and they revealed brilliant smiles.
“His lordship is fine…”
“Praise the gods! His lordship is back!”
“Hahaha, I dare to bet that this is the best news I’ve heard!”
“His lordship…”
Everyone showed a joyous gaze.
The scene that had been silent a moment ago immediately became lively. All of them cheered as if something great had happened.
They…all waited for him?
When Richard saw this scene, his heart rose with a warm feeling.
He looked at Karu who walked through the crowd excitedly.
He did not wait for the white-haired old man to bow, Richard frowned.
“Karu, were you the one who ordered them to wait here?”
When Karu saw that Richard was fine, he waved his hands as if he was relieved of a heavy burden.
“Lord Richard, after dinner, we didn’t see you come back. So, we spontaneously waited for you outside…”
The first resident who noticed Richard’s return also spoke.
“Lord, we were worried that you didn’t come back…”
Richard turned his head to look at the smiling faces from the bottom of his heart, and a certain part of his heart was touched.
At this moment, he felt extremely close to this world.
There was no longer any sense of strangeness.
He took a deep breath and nodded slowly.
His voice resounded in everyone’s ears.
“I think you’re just looking for an excuse to sleep in tomorrow…”
The crowd laughed softly.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the crowd and pointed at a resident as he shouted.
“Deke! You’re also a person who has received the bronze medal of Twilight City. Why don’t you set an example? Starting tomorrow, you’ll be in charge of the territory’s daily routine. Don’t let such a situation happen again.”
After Richard said that, he called out several names in a row and shouted.
“You, soldiers, take the lead and go back to rest. Twilight City is still here. If you are still here, I will be fine. We will deal with the prey tomorrow morning. What are you all standing still for? Get the hell out of here!”
After he said that, he did not wait for the residents to leave. He asked the troops to place the prey beside the well and returned to the Lord’s mansion.
No one made a move when Richard passed by the crowd.
Only when his figure disappeared did the residents start to make a ruckus.
The few people whose names had just been called were so excited that their eyes were red.
They felt exceptional glory.
“Lord Richard still remembers our names! The lord still remembers our names!”
“Gods above, did the lord just call my name? I-I was sincerely remembered by the lord…”
“Those who were called were all awarded the collective bronze medal… I’m so envious. If I had known earlier, I would have participated in the last mission!!”
Everyone in the crowd was overjoyed.
The others were especially touched.
They, the lowly commoners, experienced exceptional respect in this city.
A few young people suddenly thought of something and shouted.
“Didn’t you notice just now? The lord’s troops have lost a lot of soldiers!”
“Yeah, there were more than ten mummies with crowns this morning, and only one came back just now…”
“Go and take a look. There are two wild wargs by the well. I’ve seen those monsters before, and even dozens of soldiers couldn’t stop them…”
The crowd that had discussed the matter suddenly quieted down.
After many people looked at the two wild wargs by the well, their emotions began to ferment.
“No wonder the lord came back so late tonight. It must be very difficult for him to meet powerful enemies…”
“Lord…”
“Those soldiers died fighting for us…”
They were at a loss for words.
They could already imagine how Richard had risked his life just to protect his territory.
It was their honor to have such a great lord…
When they returned to the Lord’s mansion, Richard, who had just been eating, suddenly heard a system notification.
