Osama, known as’ The Waste Dog ‘and banished from both the party and the workplace, becomes the’ Golden Wolf ‘and strips the brave clan of fangs - Chapter 41

When Onyx heard this news, he thought that Karu was joking.

“It was just a few civilians. So what if they died? Civilians could only be used as cannon fodder. What else could they do?”

But when Onyx saw that Karu’s expression, by all means, did not change, his heart skipped a beat. He did not know what else to say.

After a modest silence, he slowly said, “I’m sorry.”

He continued, “Honestly, I came to bid farewell to Lord Richard. We’re leaving today. But I didn’t expect it to be so unfortunate. It doesn’t matter though. After I return, I’ll immediately appeal to the Chamber of Commerce to open up a trade route with Twilight City. Perhaps, in less than two months, we’ll be able to meet again.”

Karu’s expression softened, and he smiled.

“Lord Onyx, you are welcome to visit us in the future. Have you brought enough water and food? Do you need…”

Onyx waved his hand, and his tone was a little emotional.

“Everything is ready. Since Twilight City still has things to deal with, we will leave by now. Lord Karu, say goodbye to Lord Richard and thank Twilight City again for their hospitality on my behalf.”

After saying that, he placed his hand on his chest and bowed deeply to Karu.

Karu did not disrespect him. At this moment, he was representing Twilight City and Richard.

“Have a safe journey, my friend.”

“See you next time!”

Onyx brought along the repaired carriage and a few guards. He left the small desert city where they had been resting for a few days.

His emotions were exceptionally bewildering. This territory built in the desert always gave him a special feeling.

He touched the honey in his arms and was excited about his return.

He honestly didn’t know what the president’s expression would be like when he tasted the honey…

“Lord Richard went to avenge the casualties?”

When she heard this news, Adele’s eyes were filled with self-blame.

Perhaps, those innocent people wouldn’t have met such a bloody misfortune if she hadn’t asked Richard to find her father…

And Richard’s way of doing things again left a deep impression on the girl’s heart.

It was the first time in so long that she had heard of a noble lord getting angry over the death of a civilian and even risking his life for revenge.

Richard’s already momentous spot in her heart rose by a notch.

She thought that no matter what the search result was, she might be able to stay…

******

After the troops traveled for three hours in the desert and annihilated seven or eight gathering places of the field forces, Richard also felt a little tired.

Fortunately, he was not far from the area where the incident occurred.

After another half an hour, two scorpion warriors scouted ahead and first discovered the strange area marked on the map.

They immediately returned and reported respectfully.

“Lord, we have found the enemy…”

This lifted Richard’s spirits and instantly subdued his fatigue.

“Call the others back.”

The troop gathered 28 bandaged mummies, 10 cursed pharaohs, and 14 scorpion warriors a moment later.

The total force was 52 people—a total of five squads.

They had already formed a particular scale.

Under the vigilance of all the soldiers, they advanced more than 300 meters and arrived at the foot of a sand dune with tall cacti.

Richard climbed up the sand dune and looked into the distance under cover of the cacti.

Two hundred meters ahead, among the cacti, more than three squads of terrifying soldiers appeared in front of him.

Those soldiers wore black armor with mandala flowers engraved on it. They wore horned helmets that only revealed their eyes.

Their right arms were wrapped in thumb-sized chains. Each end of the chains was connected to a battle axe with a handle wrapped in coarse cloth.

They tightly held the sharp battle axe in their hands.

The soldiers were extremely tall and sturdy. Each of them is more than two meters tall.

They were taller than even the strong scorpion warriors.

And the helmet that revealed their eyes was emitting a faint blue light.

The symbol of the undead life—soul fire.

Richard gazed around and found seven or eight corpses on the ground not far away.

The blood made the sand red. Under the sun, the red became dry and black.

He frowned and opened the attribute panel.

[Axe of the Dead]

[Potential: Elite 3-star]

[Skills: Body of the Dead (E-rank) — Immune to poisons and plagues. Defense increases by 30%. The heart will not die if it is not destroyed.]

[Moreover, there is a 30% chance of triggering the Instant Death Skill (Soul Execution). It can directly kill the enemy. The stronger the enemy, the lower the chance of triggering the skill.]

[Description: Little darling, close your eyes. I’m going to throw the axe.]

Richard’s eyes focused.

These undead soldiers were truly long-range attackers, and the damage dealt by their battle axes was…magic damage.

Even more ridiculous was the last characteristic of the enemy’s fetters.

In the 21 to 30 meters area, the damage dealt increases by 60%. And there was a 30% chance of triggering Soul Execution. This skill would kill the enemy.

It was simply violent to the extreme.

Richard let out a long breath, and his face showed some interest.

He could recruit this branch of a troop, coupled with the sphynx cat’s curse plus the scorpion warrior’s massive attack. His strength would surely increase by more than one level…

Later, he had to go to the [Trading Market] to search for a similar branch of a troop to sell, no matter how many resources it would cost!

At this moment, the scorpion warrior who had discovered the Axe of the Dead spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Lord, we found the fortress of these soldiers on the other side.”

Richard’s pupils constricted.

“Where?”

His tone was filled with an uncontrollable surprise.

“Bring me there, immediately!”

“Follow me, Lord.”

The terrain of this sand dune was similar to the height of the Axe of the Dead. There was a large area of cacti covering it. As long as one was careful, one would not be discovered so quickly.

After circling half a circle, Richard saw the building hidden in the cacti through a gap in the sand dune.

It was a wooden house with thousands of broken axe handles hanging on the wall. It looked very fierce.

[Battle Axe Wooden House]

[Recruit Type: Axe of the Dead (Elite 3-stars)]

[Recruit Quantity: 10]

[Weekly Output: 5]

[Recruit Requirement: 40 gold coins, 40 units of wood, 40 units of iron ore]

[Description: A rare desert troop lair.]

“Finally, I’ve seen a troop lair!!”

Richard’s eyes gradually lit up.

Previously, he had complained that the gathering points of the wild soldiers he had encountered in the past few days did not have a troop’s lair.

Now, a big one had appeared!

The attributes of this troop were definitely at the level of a lord.

If he were to upgrade to rare-level after conquering it, wouldn’t his battle prowess soar to the heavens?

Wouldn’t his battle prowess soar to the heavens?

“No matter what price I have to pay, I will surely take this troop lair!”
