Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

Chapter 24: Chapter 23: Emergency and Hero Unit

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Richard had never raised desert bees, but in the game “Shining Era”, most people were filled with some inexplicable knowledge.

When the number of desert bees increased, a new queen would be born.

The new queen would take some of the desert bees away and divide the lair.

Usually in the spring, there would be more lairs.

However, judging from the rate at which the desert bees produced 10 units of honey a week, the reproduction rate was surely not slow.

Perhaps, it would not take long for the second and third colonies to be separated.

If they could truly become large-scale, it would undoubtedly be a great help to Twilight City.

Richard believed that those who had tasted the desert bee honey would never forget the amazing flavor.

After arranging all these things, it was already noon.

In the yellow sandy land just now, the olive forest was lush and green. The spring water was flowing, and the desert bees were buzzing.

It had already become a paradise in the desert, an oasis of life.

After eating lunch, Richard did not stay in the territory. He continued to explore with nearly three squads of soldiers.

Today, his goal was to hunt.

The price of food was so high that Richard was greatly tempted.

If he could exchange it for a few treasures like the olive forest, it would be worth a lot to Twilight City.

Today, Richard was exploring the north.

With nearly three squads of elite-level soldiers, Richard was very confident.

According to yesterday’s search experience, Richard left 4 bandaged mummies and 4 scorpion warriors to protect him.

The other two teams spread out and searched as far as they could.

The effect of this method was very obvious. After less than ten minutes, a group of scorpion warriors 200 meters in front of them suddenly sent out a warning.

They had discovered enemies!

Richard, who was already considered experienced, immediately pulled back his troops and gathered the majority of the warriors.

He lowered his footsteps and led the troop to the side of the scorpion warriors who were on alert.

Following his guidance, they climbed up the low sand dunes and looked ahead in secret.

They saw that in a passage formed by the neighboring sand dunes…

Hundreds of desert bandits riding horses, wielding machetes in their hands, and wearing white headscarves, were attacking a carriage that was protected by more than ten people.

The two forces collided violently.

The hooves of the horses trampled on the sand, sending up waves of dust. They fought and roared. It was chaotic.

An emergency?

Richard looked at the mission notification that suddenly appeared in the system. He could not help but feel a bit amused.

He had not expected to attack the caravan together with the desert bandits.

However, Richard could choose freely. He knew only children would choose sides. He wanted all of them.

Richard opened the attribute panel.

When Richard looked at the desert bandits’ attributes, he cannot help but laugh.

Boy, this was a robbery-for-hire unit.

The caravan was a lot more significant.

There were only 14 soldiers in the carriage, all of whom were elite-level soldiers.

However, the difference in numbers between the two sides was too great.

The desert bandits outnumbered a squadron.

Moreover, there were bandits holding crossbows and arrows at the rear to suppress them.

Although the carriage guards fought desperately to break through the blockade, they had no success. They only left corpses behind.

If they were not well-equipped, they would not have been able to hold on for long.

Just as Richard was about to attack, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man dressed in a luxurious robe. He had a big belly and was short like a sausage.

The middle-aged man was roaring and commanding the battle.

The attributes of the human warriors made Richard very interested.

“Wow, this caravan truly has a hero unit.”

However, the other party’s connection made him think.

“Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce?”

“NPC, Aborigines…”

When these words surfaced in his mind, Richard immediately became extremely interested.

In the [Forum Chat], the other lord players had also mentioned that they had encountered some aboriginal caravans over the past few days. Richard didn’t think that the caravans existed in the desert.

Who knew that it would appear like this?

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and the caravans were starting to crumble, Richard no longer hesitated.

With a wave of his hand, Richard decisively gave the order.

“Everyone, listen up. Kill all the desert bandits! Do not harm the people in the carriages!”

The mummies and scorpion warriors, who could no longer hold themselves back, immediately charged toward the battlefield.

The eight-legged scorpion warriors were one step faster than the mummies. These powerful troops with two giant iron pincers suddenly charged into the desert bandits who were surrounding the convoy from the side.

The desert bandits reacted the moment they appeared. They immediately sent out five small teams to snipe.

They were about to take down their target. They would never allow others to snatch food from the jaws of the tiger!

‘Ta! Ta!’

The desert horse’s broad hooves stepped on the yellow sand. As it ran, it kicked up sand and dust in the air behind it.

The desert bandit swung his scimitar fiercely. Under the high-speed running of the horse, the power of the scimitar was greatly increased.

‘Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!’

It’s close! It’s really close!

The desert scorpion’s cold face revealed a chilling smile.

The two iron pincers suddenly opened up and waved like lightning.

The two sides ran towards each other and met up at an extremely soaring speed.

In that instant…

‘Clang! Clang!’

‘Puchi!’

Blood splattered!

The dead bodies of the desert bandits broke into two pieces and flew out after the high-speed inertia. They crashed heavily onto the ground, and the blood that flowed out dyed the sand red.

Instant kill…

The charges that had just started seemed to be nothing more than rushing to their death.

The desert horse under the desert bandit had also entered the latter stage after their life and death. When the iron pincers of the scorpion warrior were opened, they were like a great killing machine.

When they were closed, the curved hook protruding out in front was also like the iron hook of a pirate. It was incomparably sharp.

‘Rip!’

The iron hook directly cut through the side of the desert horse, tearing a huge wound.

The flesh and blood turned crazily at this moment, and the ghastly white bones were broken inch by inch.

The desert horse let out a painful howl and then directly fell to the ground and died.

As an undead creature, the scorpion warrior did not know what mercy was.

After the first desert bandit was killed instantly, more desert bandits charged over. They wanted to use the charging power of the horses and the advantage in numbers to kill these terrifying enemies.

However, the scorpion warriors were not afraid. Instead, they became more excited and launched a counter-charge at the desert bandits!

A desert bandit brandished his scimitar from the side. Under the sunlight, his weapon reflected a cold light.

He swore to kill the scorpion warrior on the spot.

The scorpion warrior did not turn its head back. The curved scorpion tail on its back stabbed out like lightning.

The desert bandit that was charging from the side had no time to dodge.

‘Chichi!’

The sharp scorpion’s tail directly pierced through the desert bandit’s chest, causing blood to spurt out.

Before the desert bandit died, the scimitar that carried a powerful force ruthlessly hacked at the scorpion’s tail.

‘Chichi!’

A series of sparks flashed past. A few holes appeared on the scimitar, but the scorpion tail was not damaged at all.

‘Chichi!’

The scorpion’s tail was pulled back fiercely. The desert bandit directly fell off his horse, and his corpse fell to the ground.

The scorpion warrior laughed sinisterly. It did not open its pincers but used the hook that was even more terrifying than the one in the butcher’s hand to attack.

‘Whoosh! Whoosh!’

As the hook swung, a loud sound of air being torn apart was heard.

‘Clang!’

A desert bandit’s scimitar was knocked away after colliding with it.

The scorpion warrior swung its left arm down, and the hook pierced through the neck of the desert bandit. It pulled hard, and the head flew several meters high.

It was extremely violent.

The desert bandits were in a one-sided situation when they clashed with the scorpion warriors.

It wasn’t like the desert bandits were surrounding and killing the scorpion warriors, but more like the scorpion warriors were slaughtering the desert bandits.

An Ordinary 3-star troop had a total of five squads, and they were even clashing with the scorpion warriors under the high-speed charge of horses.

Even though they had the advantage, they were still stunned by the scorpion warriors’ slap.

They were like a wall. No matter how hard the desert bandits charged, they could not make them retreat even half a step.

The desert scorpions went crazy.
