Global Lords: Start as a Desert Lord

No. 7 No. 10.

On the vast yellow sand, a tired caravan slowly moved forward in the scorching desert.

The two leaders in front of the team rode side by side on camels.

Jonah Thorin looked at Onik carefully, frowning.

"Really close? You said the same thing a week ago"

Onick brushed off the gravel on his face, took out the magic map, glanced at it, and said for sure.

"If we hadn't encountered the terrible sandstorm five days ago, we would have arrived long ago."

He said with a bit of worry on his face.

"I hope Twilight City can survive this sandstorm."

Hearing this, Jonah was a little anxious.

"That bastard!! If he really tricked my daughter, I will definitely not let him go!"

Thinking of the grievances I have suffered on the road this month.

Jonah Thorin was annoyed.

He slapped the Bactrian camel's back hard, causing it to speed up.

Onik felt helpless seeing this scene.

Dealing with this ignorant guy is really exhausting.

Looking at the shadowy territory at the end of his line of sight, he could only pray that Twilight City hadn't suffered too much damage from the storm a few days ago.

He waved his hand and asked everyone to speed up.

——

"Master, we detected that a caravan is approaching Twilight City."

"The flag bears the logo of the Luanwei flower."

Inside the lord's mansion, Li Cha was pleasantly surprised to see the dark gargoyle reporting the information in front of him.

After waiting for so long, the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild finally came.

In an instant, he saw the scene of billowing wealth entering the account.

But after recovering, he was still vigilant.

"What is the strength of that caravan?"

"It's not strong, it can't pose a threat to us"

"There's no need to intercept, it's almost dark, and the army that's out hunting is about to return.

Let them enter the territory, and then notify Karoo to bring those merchants to see me after he finishes his work. "

"As you wish."

——

The blurry buildings in the distance gradually become clear.

The tired caravan immediately became excited.

Everyone subconsciously speeded up.

Onick saw figures walking outside the Twilight City, and his mood immediately rose.

"Praise the gods, Your Excellency Richard's territory is still there!"

Although it is not known how much damage the sandstorm caused to the small territory, at least it has not completely destroyed the territory.

Said with a firm tone.

"Whatever you say this time, let His Excellency Richard leave this terrifying desert and follow me back to Solan City."

"This kind of place is not suitable for living."

"I don't want a treasure like desert crown honey to be buried in yellow sand."

He only had this plan before, but the sandstorm he encountered a few days ago completely moved him.

This is already the second sandstorm he has encountered in the past few months.

In the incident more than two months ago, the caravan returning from the other side of the Death Desert suffered heavy losses.

This time a few days ago, if it wasn't for relying on the special strategic treasure bestowed by the president when he came, I'm afraid he would suffer again.

This desert is too dangerous.

Jonah Thorin was speechless for a while after seeing the Twilight City clearly.

"The territory doesn't even have city walls..."

"I really don't know that lord, how dare he let Andair take refuge?"

"An Daier needs to be promoted to a super blacksmith, can you get it?"

Which super blacksmith is not fed with a lot of materials, this area is not as large as the residence area of ​​Luanweihua Chamber of Commerce employees.

Have this background?

Onik had a headache when he heard this.

"Your Excellency Jonah, no matter what you say, this is Miss Andair's own choice."

"If Miss Andair is fine, I hope you will not embarrass Your Excellency Richard."

"After all, the other party saved my life. At the same time, I will also invite him to Solan City. Maybe you will meet often in the future."

Jonah looked at Onick's pleading eyes and was unmoved.

"Andai'er will only be delayed in this territory."

"No matter what, I will take her back. The blood of the Thorin family should not be buried here."

Onick smiled wryly, and couldn't say much.

He turned his head and told the guards around him that if Jonah went crazy, they must stop him.

A caravan of hundreds of people came to the territory when the sun sank into the yellow sand.

Onik didn't directly lead anyone in, but got off the camel outside the territory, and asked the guards to tie the camel up first, waiting for his order.

This is basic courtesy, what's the deal with riding a camel in other people's territory without permission?

But Jonah Thorin ignored this, he couldn't wait to see his daughter.

Riding a camel, he took the lead and entered the territory directly.

Onik's head suddenly became dizzy, and in order to prevent accidents, he immediately asked two guards to chase the barbarian into the territory with him.

After Jonah Sorin entered the street, he saw construction objects piled up everywhere, and many people were carrying wood or stones in disgrace.

It seems that it is no different from enslaving residents in other territories as coolies.

Suddenly, a resident carrying stones saw Jonah Sorin riding a camel, and shouted excitedly.

"Master Jonah!!"

This startled breath attracted the attention of many people.

Soon, a large number of residents gathered around.

These are all companions who followed Jonah Thorin across the desert to escape the war.

At this time, seeing that Jonah, who had been missing for more than two months, was fine, he was extremely excited.

Two months ago, this was the leader they relied on.

If it weren't for that nasty sandstorm, maybe they are still following each other now.

"Master Jonah, thank the gods, you are still alive!"

"Miss Andair is in the territory, I'll call her for you!"

"Praise the gods, did not expect to see you again"

"."

Jonah was also excited when he saw the familiar figures.

One turned over and got off the camel's back.

Give warm hugs to those around you.

After being excited for a while, he finally came back to his senses.

Looking at the residents around who had been contaminated with a lot of dust due to work, he suddenly shouted in anger.

"I've already settled down in Solan City!"

"Everyone immediately pack up your things and leave with me. I will take you to the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce. The Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce has promised me to help you arrange work."

Talk louder and louder.

"Even if you signed a sell-yourself contract with that lord, it is all invalid. My companions must not be oppressed, everyone is free!"

Jonah originally thought that he would appear as a savior, and everyone would respond with a bang.

But unexpected.

After his words were spoken, the extremely lively scene just now seemed to press the pause button.

It was silent.

Everyone stared at Jonah in a daze, with weird eyes?

That expression seemed to be watching. Fool.

The surrounding residents are very confused.

Did they hear correctly?

let them go?

After suffering so much, and now life is finally getting better, let them go?

It's worse than killing them.

And what oppresses their lords, is there a better territory in this world than Twilight City?

Is there a better lord than Master Li Cha?

Did Lord Jonah get sand in his head because of the sandstorm?

Jonah thought the residents were afraid, and immediately comforted them loudly.

"You don't have to be afraid!! No one can stop us from leaving!"

This is just finished.

Suddenly the sky darkened.

huh~

A giant dragon with no flesh and blood, whose bones were as clear as red crystal, flitted across the sky.

The huge size gives people a very strong visual impact, and the terrifying dragon power exuded makes people tremble even more.

Jonah raised his head and was startled when he saw this scene. The undead dragon? ?

Why is there such a high-level undead here?

To attack this territory? ?

Just wanted to react.

Suddenly, I saw a cloud of gargoyles flying in the dark sky.

There is also a large army of mummies riding on it.

This made him stiffen.

With so many troops, not to mention him alone, even the entire caravan would be useless.

He lowered his figure subconsciously, looking nervously at the army in the sky.

After waiting for a while, he found that the troops ignored him and fell straight into the territory.

He was stunned. What's going on?

Turning his head to look at the surrounding residents whose expressions didn't change much, he suddenly felt extremely distorted.

"Those troops belong to this territory?"

The first middle-aged man who called Jonah nodded his head as a matter of course.

I didn't feel anything strange at all.

"These are troops out hunting and returning to their territory at dusk."

When Jonah dared to speak.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

A large number of mummified troops poured into the territory in the rear.

There are mummies wrapped in bandages, monsters with poisonous scorpion bodies and two iron pincers, warriors with tomahawks and chains tied to their hands, and even mechanical puppets up to 5 meters high.

After hundreds of troops entered the territory.

He hasn't recovered yet.

Suddenly the earth shook.

bang~

bang~

It seemed that someone was bombarding the ground with a battering ram. Feeling the eyes of the surrounding people moving, Jonah subconsciously turned his head to look outside the territory.

I saw a terrifying giant tree tens of meters high, with no leaves but only a trunk, approaching the territory step by step.

The aura it exudes makes people feel chills, like an evil existence planted at the bottom of the bottomless abyss.

An unspeakable fear welled up in my heart.

He even subconsciously slowed down his breathing.

Fortunately, the evil giant tree stopped outside the territory, and then slowly took root in the ground.

Seems to be the most loyal guards guarding the territory.

He looked intently, and found that there were hundreds of buzzing wasps on the top of the tree, and the sound came from a very close distance.

Jonah was in a daze, looking at the resident dry-mouthed.

"This, is this also the army of this territory?"

There was a bit of vibrato in the tone.

The other party nodded.

With a bit of admiration.

"This is the ancient tree of evil that the lord personally conquered."

"Did you see the poisonous wasp on that big tree? That is a rare species, and it is said that there can be hundreds of thousands of them at most."

"Master Kalu said that the ancient tree of the gods will go fishing a few kilometers away every day, and it is quite early today."

Jonah was in disarray.

This kind of monster can also be conquered? ?

And what the hell is fishing?

Are there fish to catch in the desert? ?

And this kind of terrifying aura, why does it feel like giving him a large army to rush up is for nothing?

He turned his head and gave Onik a hard look behind him.

This bastard, didn't he say that there are only dozens of arms in this territory?

what are these?

Onick's eyes widened at the moment, and the shock he received in his heart was no less than Jonah's.

Why did Twilight City have such a powerful army in just two months?

Who can tell him? ?

The resident looked at the silent Jonah, seemed to think of something, and warned seriously.

"Lord Jonah, although I understand your desire to help us, this is the City of Twilight, and you are absolutely not allowed to slander the lord!"

"As for what you said to go with you, there is no need to mention this matter."

"Twilight City is the best city I've ever seen in any territory!"

"This is our home!"

"There is no oppression, no bullying, no nobles' enslavement, I don't even dare to think that I can be a member of Twilight City in this life."

As he spoke, his eyes became more solemn.

"Master Jonah, you used to be our leader, leading us forward."

"But now, we are members of Twilight City, and the lord is our master, and I don't allow anyone to say anything about Twilight City in this territory."

"Please respect yourself."

Jonah suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer ten thousand times.

He stared dumbfounded at this old friend who had known him for more than ten years.

Why is this territory?

How long has it been? Why has the other party changed so much?

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything.

The other party said it so seriously, what else could he say?

Seeing this, the resident sighed in his heart, gave a slight salute to Jonah, and then happily lifted up the building materials on the ground and went to work.

Everyone else did the same thing. After saluting, they continued to do their own thing.

They were surrounded just now, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jonah was still at a loss.

Onik didn't know what to say when he saw this scene, he could only pat him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

After Jonah came back to his senses, he nervously went to the blacksmith shop not far away under the guidance of a resident.

It doesn't matter if other people don't want to go with him, it's enough for An Daier to be here.

Arriving at the blacksmith shop, Andaier, who got the news of her father's arrival, rushed downstairs.

Seeing that familiar figure, his eyes turned red.

Crystal tears pulled out long tear stains.

He stepped forward and shouted with excitement and grievance.

"Father."

Seeing his daughter's grievance, Jonah's heart almost melted.

"Andre, don't cry, don't cry! I'm here to pick you up."

"How have you been all this time? Have you been injured?"

An Daier laughed and cried, "I'm fine, it's fine here, I'm just so happy to see you"

Jonah couldn't believe it. Seeing his daughter crying, his anger rose again.

"Did the damn lord trick you into staying?"

"I don't know what kind of ecstasy the lord gave the others. I asked them to go back to Solan City with me, but they are still unwilling!"

"Hmph, although this kind of territory is fine now, as long as it encounters a sandstorm, it will be submerged in an instant."

Hearing this, Andaier stopped crying and shook her head repeatedly.

"Father, Mr. Richard treated me very well, he didn't lie to me, and I also stayed here voluntarily."

Jonah said angrily.

"It's not important anymore, pack up your things and leave with me, I've already helped you find a suitable job at the Luanwei Flower Merchant Association."

"They are willing to treat you as a super blacksmith."

Said and excited again.

"With the abundant supplies from the Luanweihua Chamber of Commerce, you can upgrade to a super blacksmith within a year at most."

Andaier was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bright smile.

"Father, I may have made the same choice as everyone else."

Jonah thumped in his heart, feeling a bad premonition.

Sure enough, what the other party said next made him feel that he had suffered 10,000 points of real damage.

"I am now a part of Twilight City and I will not leave."

Jonah's face suddenly became stiff.

No, won't leave? !

Ten thousand question marks rose in my mind.

Why, why are they all like this!

That's all for the others. Why does An Daier stay here?

"Andelle, do you know what you're talking about?"

"You are just one step away from being promoted to a senior blacksmith, staying here will only delay you!"

"The blood of our Thorin family can only be activated by becoming a super blacksmith."

"Once the blood vessels are activated, we will not only have stronger power, but also have a lifespan several times that of humans."

Andrea laughed.

"But father, I'm already a super blacksmith."

"I don't care what your reasons are, are you okay? You, what are you talking about??"

Jonah froze suddenly, staring at him with wide eyes.

Andrea's smile became brighter and brighter.

"Father, I am already a super blacksmith."

As he said that, a special force appeared on his body.

The blood in his body revealed breath at the same time.

He froze.

"The bloodline breath of the Thorin family is really fully activated!!"

Seeing that smiling face like a flower, he suddenly went crazy.

"But, but how did you become a super blacksmith??"

"It's only been two months!! How can this dilapidated territory meet the resources you need to be promoted to a super blacksmith?"

Which super blacksmith can only be promoted after forging a large amount of high-level equipment.

This territory without city walls has such resources?

Isn't this a joke?

But An Dai'er's breath couldn't be faked.

He was in a tangle for a while, and then seemed to think of something, excitedly said.

"It must be because of your extraordinary talent! I knew that my daughter is not comparable to ordinary people!"

Andelle shook her head, interrupting his fantasy.

"Master Richard provided me with a lot of resources for my use, and that's why I became a super blacksmith."

As he spoke, he raised his excitement again.

"Master Li Cha also gave me a blueprint for a 4-star level equipment. Unfortunately, it is too difficult, and it will take a while to forge it."

As he spoke, he took out the blueprint from his pocket and motioned for a moment, then he seemed to think of something and hurriedly put it away.

"I almost forgot, father, are you from Twilight City? I can't show you."

Four-star level equipment? ?

Jonah was a little dazed.

The blueprint of this top-level treasure is a rare treasure even in the Luanweihua Chamber of Commerce.

Even if it's him, he can't get in touch without joining for a certain number of years. Now the other party just gives the blueprint to Andaier, a newly promoted blacksmith?

What kind of treatment is this?

"Lord Onik"

It was only now that An Dai'er remembered that there were other people, wiped away her tears, and immediately invited with some embarrassment.

"You must have told my father about me, right? Thank you for your hard work. Come in and have a drink of tea."

Onik shook his head.

"When your father and daughter are reunited, I won't join the party. I still have to ask His Excellency Richard."

Hearing this, Andaier didn't force it, and happily led Jonah into the blacksmith's shop after a few polite words.

Jonah also suppressed the doubts in his heart, and was going to go upstairs to have a good chat about what was going on.

But when he was about to step up the stairs, he suddenly saw the extraordinary hunter in the backyard with a height of 15 meters through the half-open back door from the corner of his eye.

As a top blacksmith who is one step away from breaking through to become a master blacksmith.

What a vision he had.

He stopped in an instant.

With a shocked tone, he pointed at the mechanical puppet in the backyard.

said tremblingly.

"Then, what is that??"

Andaier was startled, and quickly closed the door.

"Master Li Cha did not agree to allow outsiders to study it."

Said embarrassedly.

"That's the mechanical puppet Mr. Richard specially left for me to study."

Specifically for your research? ?

Jonah felt a huge shock.

Although it was only a shock, he was absolutely sure that it was a mechanical puppet made by a master countless times stronger than him.

Although there is a considerable distance between the blacksmith and the mechanical puppeteer, the essence is to process materials to maximize their performance.

He knew the value of this mechanical puppet better than An Daier.

If this was placed in the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce, it would probably be locked in the most closely guarded treasure house.

Not to mention putting it in the backyard for research, even if you take a look at it, you have to apply.

But it's such a precious treasure, that the lord just put it in the backyard for Andaier to study at will? ?

What the hell is this treatment?

Is this still an inconspicuous territory built in the desert?

He felt that some of his ideas were collapsing.
