Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Chapter 800 - 800 Chapter 487: Territory Development Plan [3/3]

Chapter 800 - 800 Chapter 487: Territory Development Plan [3/3]

800 Chapter 487: Territory Development Plan [3/3]
It was possible.
“How many refugees have we accepted from the Kingdom of Ell? What is the current population of Twilight City?”
“Lord, in the past half a month, we have taken in about 4,000 refugees, and the total population has reached 7,000.”
Seven thousand. This number made Richard’s heart ache.
The players in wealthy areas could easily reach 10,000 people in just two months.
The population could exceed 10,000 in three to four months in a barren area but not in a desert.
It had been half a year and more in Twilight City, but the population had only reached less than ten thousand people.
This place where birds couldn’t even shit simply made people cry.
Other territories could easily invade those in the desert of death because they could not make ends meet.
Not every player could possess a life-saving skill like Sand Transformation when they were born.
“Did you find any high-level heroes?”
Karu shook his head.
“No, Lord. Only three D-rank lifestyle heroes.”
Richard was at a loss for words.
He had skills that could attract foreign heroes to join him. If word got out, it would make tens of billions of players drool… However, Twilight City was in the desert.
It attracted loneliness instead.
He had yet to see any heroes seek refuge up until now.
It wasn’t that his skills weren’t powerful, but there weren’t even any dogs in the desert. It was just winking at a blind no matter how powerful they were.
Butler Karu seemed to have thought of something and asked softly, “Lord, should we temporarily stop our operations in the Kingdom of Ell and withdraw our troops?”
Changes were imminent, and Twilight City currently underwent a strategic retreat.
To proceed with the attack didn’t wouldn’t fit the strategy.
Not this time. At least.
Richard momentarily pondered and said slowly, “Maintain contact with the Kingdom of Ell. We can’t break off.”
He paused for a few seconds afterward. Then he added, “We can invite the two princesses to live in Twilight City for some time if they want, to tide over this crisis.”
Karu’s eyes lit up.
“Do you plan to…subdue them?”
Richard shook his head.
“They might not be able to do it. They sternly aim to restore their country. They are adamant about it.”
“But the cohesiveness and influence of Twilight City could influence them…
“This is enough.”
Karu pondered.
Richard said nothing more.
The value of the Kingdom of Ell was higher than the underground world.
Now was not the right time.
He didn’t have the energy to deal with a transcendent who had already taken control of a country and had connections with the evil god of the abyss.
Richard continued afterward.
“Has Bloodhoof City cleaned up the remaining forces of the underground world?”
He has become the true ruler of the underground world and handed over the unity of its underlings to the overlord of Bloodhoof City.
“Lord, the entire underground world is under the rule of Bloodhoof City, including those tribes living in swamps or poisonous areas…”
Bloodhoof City has become unstoppable in the underground world following the fall of the gray-colored dwarves.
There was no need to worry about the future with the full support of Twilight City. All the people who knelt on the ground wherever the blade pointed wouldn’t move.
“We have already sent people to cooperate with the Bloodhoof City to clear out the heroes, soldiers, mines, resources, and specialties of the tribes.”
“But this project is more troublesome than the war, coupled with insufficient physical output. It could take a month or more.”
That was the initial plan.
They would gradually carry this out.
The people in the underground world could still survive despite the harsh environment and shortage of food and water.
However, Fortress City had already displayed its value to the fullest.
Karu continued when he saw that Richard was silent.
“Lord, if we can unite the entire underground world and let them advance in the direction we set, they will definitely have astonishing potential.”
Richard smiled.
He could tell what ran through Karu’s mind. He was jealous of the underworld’s population and wanted to participate personally.
Karu decisively poured cold water on him.
“The dungeons are filled with the lives of the evil faction. It will be notably arduous to integrate them.
“Moreover, they are not a race, a life form…One will eventually realize that the cost of ruling hundreds of races and thousands of forces was too high even if one successfully integrated them.
“The best way now is to follow the initial plan and turn those evil creatures into the arsenal of Twilight City.”
Master Karu recovered from his excitement.
He smiled bitterly.
“There are too few people in Twilight City…There are nearly a million intelligent beings in the underground world.”
Those evil lifeforms were mostly ordinary dungeon lifeforms. The genuine troop was less than one-tenth of them.
There were even fewer high-level troops like the ones in Bloodhoof City.
Otherwise, the gray-colored dwarves and Bloodhoof City could have ruled the underground world for hundreds of years.
The value would be high if it were an ordinary human being. One could easily lure a kind and orderly life form into the arms of evil.
However, the creativity and unlimited potential of humans were something other races could not compare to.
The human gods among the gods in the sky were the best example.
That was why he valued the Kingdom of Ell.
