There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 352, The Expanding City of Hope

Chapter 352, The Expanding City of Hope
After Xiao Yang expressed his willingness to support him.

The somber atmosphere finally began to improve.

The available assistance was presented to Xiao Yang.

"Provide elite warriors, provide war beasts, provide priests."

This was proposed by those wild elves.

Quite simple support.

"Military support".

"It's not bad."

It's obvious that the more helpers there are, the better.

Then there are the half-dragons.

"Dragon Vein Warlock, Dragon Blood Warrior, Precious Resource, Dragon Blood Flower."

It also involves military support, but it includes more magic-based units and a valuable resource.

And it's not just these two types of support.

Meanwhile, the strongest individuals from both races, those with their own epics and legends, will also come to the City of Hope in the future.

However, these truly elite experts would not accept Xiao Yang's direct command.

Instead, they exist as elite units that can be hired.

The City of Hope is about to expand.

With the help of these returning lost souls.

Everything is progressing very quickly.

It's not just those evil gods who are gradually breaking free from the constraints of the dungeon rules, and the monsters they create that are becoming more and more like humans.

Xiao Yang's side also began this process.

Those who have lost their homes and yearn to return are eagerly joining Xiao Yang's camp.

a bit.

"The game mode has changed from single-player adventure to territory conquest."

"Isn't this a bit too fast?"

Such a thought crossed my mind.

Xiao Yang didn't know if he was ready.

However, he has one very good point.

"No matter what, we will not be afraid of change or back down."

But before all of this officially begins.

As the negotiation was about to end, Xiao Yang's gaze suddenly fell on the half-dragon elder.

The gaze, carrying a peculiar meaning, immediately caught the attention of the half-dragon elder.

"Any other questions, City Lord Xiao Yang?"

In terms of title, he was not directly called a savior or a hero, but rather "city lord".

This is not surprising; to some extent, neither side has completely let go of the other's concerns.

There was a brief pause.

Direct inquiry.

"I think something big must have happened recently."

"Yes, Your Excellency Lord Xiao Yang, something big is indeed about to happen, which is why we have come to see you today."

"We are all guys who have lost our homeland."

"It's not a noble title, it's even despicable, because it's a choice I made myself."

"The reasons are varied: to survive, for the race, for civilization, for inheritance, to accumulate strength, because of overwhelming fear and despair."

"But leaving our hometown is not so easy. We once thought we could leave this place completely and escape all of this."

"But now it seems that this was just wishful thinking."

“A terrifying evil has once again locked onto us, perhaps for a year, perhaps for two years, or perhaps for a hundred years.”

"Within this boundary, we will eventually return here once again."

"So many years have passed since it happened, and I still haven't completely let it go."

"But ultimately, there is one choice that has remained unchanged to this day."

"I don't want to end up with nothing, even if I choose something despicable."

The old half-dragon, whose scales had turned pale and dull, spoke these words slowly and deliberately.

His words revealed an indescribable firmness.

After he finished speaking, the leader of the wild elves took over the conversation.

"Destruction is imminent, but we will never give up so easily, no matter what." Xiao Yang agreed with this answer.

No further inquiries were made.

An agreement was reached quickly.

The half-dragon elder and the wild elves left.

However, the talks are not over yet.

There was also the last group of people returning home.

A group of exhausted and wounded human soldiers.

This group of guys is a special case.

They couldn't offer any decent assistance, and even needed Xiao Yang to ask for their help.

He met the gaze of the leading soldier.

A strange bitterness appeared on his face.

He seemed to know that his demands were rather unrealistic.

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth.

"Please take these residents in; we are not completely helpless."

Xiao Yang shook his head at such words.

"Hurry up, I can help you open the spatial passage stably. Hope City can accept survivors, and you don't need to pay them."

If some of those who have lost their homes are doing well, then naturally there will also be those who are not.

Compared to the half-dragons and wild elves.

These soldiers were clearly in a bad situation.

However, this is probably also related to their origins.

They were just ordinary soldiers who were entrusted with taking a group of ordinary people away during that disaster.

Now, the world they fled to has officially anchored itself, about to disintegrate and fall into the decaying land like a shooting star.

In this situation, they approached Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang certainly wouldn't refuse.

Soon, a temporary dimensional portal was opened.

In order to anchor the collapsing world on the other side, Xiao Yang even pulled over the dungeon gate to suppress it.

Of course, Xiao Yang would never set up such a high-end spatial magic.

All of this was being taken care of by Lena and the ghost maidens.

Xiao Yang acted as a commander and a pacifier for the old man at the dungeon gate.

Shortly after the dimensional gate was opened, a group of people with obvious fear on their faces arrived.

There weren't as many as I had imagined.

There are probably only about 50,000 people.

"It would be best to expand the city."

Xiao Yang began to consider the subsequent construction of the City of Hope.

If the ruins of Clock Tower City are completely leveled, the population that City of Hope can accommodate will certainly more than double what it is now.

A bustling city.

This was also the starting point for the subsequent world-saving plan.

The planting area is located in the wilderness outside the city.

A sufficient population and a sufficiently strong military.

Then naturally, this wilderness must be completely cleared out.

A little thought.

Xiao Yang suddenly felt a headache.

Perhaps because he was deep in thought, Xiao Yang did not notice the unusual appearance of the group of wounded soldiers around him.

Looking at these people who were being comforted and guided to all corners of the city.

His face no longer looked tired, but rather more relieved.

He bowed slightly to Xiao Yang.

Then he strode towards the still-open dimensional portal.
