“Did you get anything out of the interrogation?”

Karu shook his head. “No, I have just started, and you’re already back.”

Richard turned his head to look at the three men tied up tightly. There was fear in their eyes.

“I’ll ask, and you’ll answer.”

His indifferent tone and the pressure from the dark gargoyles stationed in the corner.

Immediately, the psychological defenses of the three men, who were already weak in willpower, collapsed.

“Ask us, and we’ll tell you whatever you want to know…”

“Who sent you?”

“Xina Krina, the ruler of Oasis City. She’s a member of the Krina tribe…”

“The Krina tribe? Is that the tribe that would personally kill their husband after marrying a man and exchange the soul of the person they loved the most for power?”

Karu was a little surprised.

“They are known as the roses of death in the desert…”

“That’s right. It’s them…”

‘Was there such a tribe?’ Richard felt that he had learned a lot.

“Are the Krina people exceedingly powerful?”

Karu said softly, “They are very few, but their strength is adamant. Legend has it that Krina people sacrificed their beloved to obtain power.”

“That’s why every member of the Krina tribe is a hero unit.”

Richard had an idea and turned to look at the captives.

“What’s the purpose of her sending you here?”

“To find out the truth about Twilight City. It’s best if you encourage the residents to join Oasis City.”

“Are you so confident that you can complete the mission?”

The few of them were a little embarra.s.sed.

“We talked to the search and rescue soldier you sent out more than ten days ago. From the side, we surmised that Twilight City’s strength was not strong… So…”

Richard understood Twilight City indeed did not have many troops at that time.

According to logic, Twilight City couldn’t become as strong as it was now even after two months of development.

Just the Rare 3-stars and a few waves of troop lairs, Richard had three of them in his hands. This was an absolute killer weapon in the early stages.

“What does Oasis City rely on to feed so many people? What is your source of food? Is there a G.o.d-given item?”

Richard stared at the three of them intently.

The captives panicked and quickly asked.

“Lord, we don’t know either. We only know Lord Xina provided food… But…”

The captive who spoke gritted his teeth. “But there is a restricted area in the oasis depths. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. They said that there was an underground pa.s.sage inside. The food is taken outfrom underground.”

‘Underground pa.s.sage?’

Richard’s eyelids twitched.

There was something hidden.

He thought of the underground s.p.a.ce filled with the undead.

‘Could there be something similar in this oasis?’ It was just that the food produced here was food.

Food and water were the most scarce and essential resources in the desert. So Richard was sensitive to this.

The Oasis City had an endless supply of food, so they had the confidence to build a city and expand their territory…

Karu’s eyes sparkled as he spoke.

“Lord, if we can capture that oasis, not only can we obtain the population that Twilight City desperately needs, but we can also obtain the secret that can produce food… it will mean a lot to Twilight City.”

This was the second time that he had suggested capturing an oasis.

Richard nodded and had an idea in his mind.

He didn’t reply immediately and continued the interrogation.

“What is the strength of the troop of Oasis City?”

“There is a squadron of rare troops — the owana guards. Lord Xena recruited them.”

“Recruited from where? How many lairs are there in Oasis City?”

“There are two in total, all in the restricted area.”

“How many heroes are there?”

“I only know Lord Xena.”

On paper, Oasis City’s strength was not weak, but Twilight City, which had greatly increased in strength, could take it.

“How many people are there in Oasis City Now?”

“More than 600 people. Currently, they are still gathering refugees from the surrounding areas…”

Six hundred people?

Richard’s heart was moved.

These were all white-flower laborers, resources that Twilight City desperately lacked.

Residents could fill the shortage of territory upgrades.

Upgrading to a level 2 small city required 500 people. If they continued to upgrade, they would surely need more.

These people were timely.

Moreover, the unbuilt brewery and the already built food workshop needed talents.

Six hundred people. All of them couldn’t be trash, right? There would always be a few people that Twilight City urgently needed.

While Richard thought, he made a decision.

“Gray, continue interrogating them. I want to know more details.”

“Yes, Lord…”

The mummy hero took them away under the scared gazes of the three captives.

Richard turned his head to look at Karu.

“As Twilight City grows stronger, we will inevitably encounter hostile forces. We must be on high alert to prevent any accidents from happening.”

“Yes, my Lord!”

After careful consideration, Karu made his suggestion.

“My Lord, Oasis City is not very strong. We can starkly take it… Moreover, this should not be delayed. If the other party is on guard, accidents might happen.”

“The other party has already sent out spies. Next time, it might be the arrival of the troop. We need to eliminate this unstable factor.”

Richard nodded approvingly.

He admired Karu’s style of doing things. And he did not just focus on this scene.

It seemed this old hero unit had earned quite a lot of experience.

“Tomorrow morning, I will lead the troop to attack and occupy Oasis City… No, immediately reorganize the troop and set off overnight.”

Richard was also exceptionally decisive.

If the other party dared to send people to investigate Twilight City, it was not guaranteed accidents would happen over a long period.

He preferred to keep the initiative firmly in his hands.

As a construct, the dark gargoyles were born with the ability to see at night. The risk of Their vigilance when traveling at night could minimize the risk.

Moreover, their subordinates were all undead creatures. They relied on their soul flames to sense the outside world and would not be affected by the light.

“Lord, the journey will take a day and a night…”

Karu reminded Richard.

Richard waved his hand.

“You can rest on the way… with the dark gargoyles around as long as you are alert enough, you will be fine.”

There was a few difference between leaving now and the following morning since they had to spend the night in the desert.

When Karu saw Richard had made up his mind, he did not say anything more.

After some preparations, Richard prepared all the supplies that he had consumed and instructed Karu to deal with the prey. Then, he brought the three captives out.

They left the territory in the middle of the night.

However, for the sake of the territory’s safety, Richard left the four teams of blood-colored mummies.

At the same time, together with the guardian mummies, the number was close to two squadrons, so they were not afraid of the enemy’s surprise attack.

During the night, they found a lot of wandering soldiers.

However, this time, they were going to attack the oasis. Apart from edible prey, Richard did not care about other wild monsters.

On the night of May 18, he left the territory. Before the sun sank into the yellow sand on the 19th, Richard rushed to his destination—the mysterious oasis that was most likely to have resources and treasures.
