Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

"How is the situation on site?"

"The preliminary construction of the enclosure should have been completed, right?"

Zong Shen raised his eyebrows and asked for more details.

"Hiss, hiss..."

"This isn't...fair..."

…

From the other end of the communication crystal, there was first a noisy shout, and then Mariel's answer.

"There are leaders who are constantly inciting those lords."

"Most people are keeping a wait-and-see attitude. They are all outside the enclosure and no one dares to attack."

"However, the situation is likely to change further. As time goes by, more and more lords are heading towards the portal enclosure."

For some reason, Mariel's nervousness eased a lot after talking to Zong Shen.

Hearing her answer, Zong Shen frowned deeply.

"Instigator?"

"There is indeed no shortage of those daring and unwilling to be lonely among the lords."

"But it's a pity..."

“In this world, after all, the jungle is still dominated by the strong!”

His heart suddenly boiled, and the high frequency of conquests and battles gradually gave him a sense of dominance.

Indecisiveness is the weakness of a rookie, but a strong person will just move forward and fight for everything they want!

"Stabilize the situation and be alert."

"I'll be on the scene right away."

Zong Shen explained calmly, but his expression became both serious and a little excited.

"I understand, sir..."

Mariel's reply was very brief, and both parties hung up the communication at the same time with a tacit understanding, without any sloppiness.

She is no longer the innocent little girl from Sitano Village.

The portal enclosure is the transmission channel of the [Dimensional Era Change Catastrophe] that was suppressed by the Wild Wolf Tribe.

By chance, it was converted into a group copy by the lord system, and it will be officially opened in more than fifty days.

However, the location of the disaster had already been exposed on the system announcement at that time, so it was not surprising that it attracted the attention of a large number of lords.

After the defensive challenge, most lords began a period of exploration.

What limits them is no longer frequent system challenges, but mounts and access methods.

Most lords could still only ride horses or ox-carts.

A few lords have other types of mounts and means of movement through their troops or props such as [Pet Contract], [Mount Recruitment Scroll], and [Magic Machinery].

Only a very small number of lords have the means of air riding or short-distance space teleportation.

The access methods and means they master determine their current maximum exploration scope.

According to the trekking speed and physical strength of the prairie horse, if you want to travel a thousand kilometers, you will need to stop and go for at least two days. This is because there are no dangerous places along the way.

When Zong Shen went to Bosi State for the first time, the trip took about a day, not counting the fact that he used the [Goblin Airship] to cross the desert and dangerous areas.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the first wave of lords gathered from the time the announcement was officially made to this moment.

This is also the price Zong Shen must bear. Since he wants to dominate this "group dungeon", and even wants to dominate the area and collect the "ticket" money for subsequent dungeons, he must overcome this hurdle.

Lords are a very broad group, and they have been eliminated and screened through various challenge activities in the early stages of advent.

Under the law of survival of the fittest, the guys who can survive are all quick-minded guys, and the best among them can be called "elites" in the original human society.

Therefore, he was mentally prepared for this situation.

His current vicious reputation and reputation are enough to frighten most lords on the surface.

But if the number of lords gathered reaches a certain limit, and there are people commanding and instigating, then it might be a problem.

As human beings, once they get together, they will become bolder without realizing it, and their rationality will gradually drift away. No matter how much emotions are stirred up, it will be impossible to deal with the impact once it breaks out.

"so annoying."

Zong Shen shook his head and took out the [Thousand-Kilometer Level Portal (Orange)] with his backhand to directly open the portal channel to the territory.

After quickly leading the team back to the territory, he rushed non-stop to the main tower of the [Thousand Kilometer Directional Teleportation Tower (Orange)], where there was the teleportation gate of the [Beacon Tower], which was also a permanent passage leading to the circle.

Joan of Arc, Richardson, Doris, and Vereesa have already led many soldiers to support them.

Even Xiao Heizi, the gryphon, and the manticore's raptor monsters are not within the territory.

Most of the fifth- and sixth-level high-level warriors were also transferred.

"You should return to your respective residences to rest and wait for further orders."

Zong Shen turned around and ordered the soldiers who returned from the mine with him to rest.

Then he activated [Wandering Walk] himself and quickly arrived near the teleportation channel.

After crossing the passage, he appeared in the portal enclosure.

The chaotic noises around him suddenly appeared, making Zong Shen's head feel buzzing, as if he had arrived at the playground where a kindergarten was gathering.

The place as far as the eye can see has been surrounded by a [three-level wooden city wall], which looks like a grassland village.

Thousands of defensive arrow towers were moved from the territory, accounting for almost one-third of the total.

In addition to the [Thunderland Wonders (Incomplete)], they have all been rebuilt at this time.

In addition, more than 60% of the troops in the territory are gathered here, including wolf cavalry, crossbow shooters/rangers, elemental casters and various high-level warriors.

Xiao Heizi was hovering at an altitude of seven to eight hundred meters above, while Yingjiang and Feihu each led their tribesmen to fly on alert at an altitude of tens of meters lower.

Joan of Arc is holding a shining spear and standing on the north wall.

Richardson, with his Lion and Skeleton Knights, was guarding the south and watching eagerly.

Most of the noise came from the outside of the enclosure, while the inside was relatively quiet and had a chilling atmosphere.

When Zong Shen appeared, he was next to the [Thunderland Wonder], and the dungeon portal with a countdown was still further away.

Even so, he felt the noise was harsh, which showed how many people had gathered outside.

You must know that these lords who came are by no means alone. They range from hundreds to dozens of soldiers with accompanying soldiers. So thousands of lords bring at least hundreds of thousands of people.

It's a bit like gathering sand into a tower.

When so many people gather together, the momentum they can generate is amazing.

It was like a stormy sea. Even though they were several kilometers apart, the voices of discussion were still extremely noisy.

And his enclosure is like a sudden rock in the waves. It is so unsocial, and it always arouses the tyranny in the hearts of the peripheral lords.

People always like to destroy those unique things.

The only reason why they suppressed the violence in their hearts and did not take action was Zong Shen's own intimidation.

So he is the real protagonist in this storm.

Moreover, he is also the real backbone of the territory. With him around, the people in the territory will not be afraid.

The first one to rush to him was not Mariel, but the little dragon Lan Xiaodai. It couldn't fly yet and could only crawl with the help of its wings and forelimbs. It came to Zong Shen like a big lizard and hugged him. Hold on to his calf.

"Chi chi chi chi!"

He is the incubator of the little guy and the first creature he sees after breaking out of his shell, so he is quite friendly.

Zong Shen leaned over and rubbed Lan Xiaodai's head, then lifted it aside.

At this time, Mariel quickly came to him.

"grown ups!"

After a simple salute, she quickly explained the situation at the scene.

In fact, crowds of people have been gathering since early in the morning.

It has been accumulating until now, and finally formed such an amazing scale.

A gathering of hundreds of thousands of people is scary, but so what?

Zong Shen can even destroy millions of dark orcs, and the scene in front of him can only be regarded as a small scene.

Not to mention that the strength and troop levels of these lords are far inferior to the dark orcs in the defense challenge.

It's just that the lord has many methods. Who knows if there are a few lucky guys among them who have obtained some [special] or [unknown] level props, which may actually have an effect on him.

Of course, when it comes to trump cards, Zong Shen is confident that no one among the lords can match him!

He just has a lot of various privileges!

After listening to Mariel's introduction, Zong Shen gently waved his hand to signal her to be calm.

"Don't panic, let everyone stay vigilant and be ready to attack at any time."

"You can retreat to the territory if necessary."

"Now, it's up to me to communicate with these guys."

Zong Shen's tone was calm, and Mariel's pounding heart gradually calmed down.

He calmed down and put his mind into his storage compartment. He quickly sorted out a few props and items that might be used, as well as special skills and title skills that had the final say.

Then he blew a loud whistle, and Little Heizi, who was flying in the air, had a keen sense.

It immediately swooped down and landed in the open space next to it with a strong air current.

He stretched out his slender neck and rubbed Zong Shen's arm affectionately.

This guy has become extremely well-behaved since he saw Zong Shen kill the dark orcs and get the five-color flower reward.

"Come on, let's go see these people."

He jumped up, like a kite soaring from the ground, and sat on the [Dragon Controlling Saddle] during the ups and downs.

The huge black wings with a wingspan of thirty to forty meters suddenly spread out, fanning up dust and grass clippings all over the ground and rising into the sky.

Xiao Heizi, who possesses old dragon-level strength and has activated his ancestral bloodline, can afford the word "behemoth".

The majesty of the five-color true dragon is vividly displayed on it.

As a superior ethnic group, it has a natural sense of oppression.

However, such a majestic dragon is just a mount under Zong Shen's crotch, which adds a sense of mystery to him.

While rising into the air, Xiao Heizi also let out a thunderous roar in cooperation.

The huge roar of the dragon can spread for dozens of kilometers.

In an instant, all the horses and mounts fell to their knees in panic.

The slightly more fierce Warcraft mount also turned around and left, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

Zong Shen asked Xiao Heizi to maintain a height of about 500 meters above the ground.

This distance can avoid the shooting of most conventional arrows and crossbows, and various elemental magics are also difficult to reach. It can be regarded as a safe but not alienating boundary.

The dragon's roar was a signal. When the afterglow of the dragon's power dissipated, the lords below barely stabilized their position.

After another four or five minutes, without anyone's need to direct, the originally noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

The scene became quiet again.

"Everyone, this is my territory."

"You must have seen the relevant prompts when you entered the boundary of the range!"

Zong Shen spoke unhurriedly, and his voice was inexplicably penetrating. Even though he didn't scream hard, he could still reach everyone's ears.

There was a long silence in response to him.

However, Zong Shen is not anxious at all, he has prepared multiple means.

I can handle it calmly whether it is fighting or talking.

If they really fight, he is sure to annihilate every lord present at a certain price!

Just relying on the majority of second- and third-level warriors on the scene, he would not be injured at all.

A full three or four minutes passed before anyone responded.

It was a white male lord with blond hair and blue eyes. He looked delicate and even somewhat handsome.

Looks like someone from England.

I saw the guy riding a rhinoceros in the swamp, got off the mount in a pretentious manner, and then took off his hat in a serious manner.

"Good day, dear Mr. Zong."

"My name is Stephen York, a lord from the area west of here...the leader of the Undead Snake Legion..."

He took out a magic loudspeaker from the storage compartment, put it to his mouth and shouted.

The opening chapter is a self-introduction of titles and prefixes.

It seemed that it was impossible to talk to Zong Shen equally without finishing these fancy titles.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zong Shen still listened patiently to what he had to say.

"Mr. Zong, as the strongest man, is indeed extraordinary..."

"As expected of a great lord from the great eastern country..."

After this guy introduced himself, he went all out to flatter Zong Shen.

There is no language barrier between the lords, and everyone communicates in the common language of the Endless Continent, so this guy is very smooth when flattering.

It's just that Zong Shen's limited patience has been exhausted by him.

"alright."

"Mr. Stephen, what exactly do you think about my territory?"

He interrupted Stephen York's chatter and prepared to talk directly to the topic.

It was obvious that this guy had become a "representative" of the lords present, because no one interrupted him while he spoke.

These guys seem to have reached some kind of consensus, which is not good news for Zong Shen.

But it's normal to think about it. After all, there has been a trend of regional lords becoming legions.

The past pattern of scattered troops was completely ended.

Using the legions in each region as a medium, it is easy to form gangs and quickly reach a consensus.

As long as the will of the majority of people is unified, the remaining individual or squad-level lords mixed in will choose to follow suit.

Therefore, Zong Shen could tell that this Stephen York was the "spokesperson" selected by the lords below.

After hearing his answer, Stephen was startled. He didn't expect that the other party would be so direct and show no fear at all when facing so many people on his side!
