Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Although Zong Shen did not arrive early, he was an out-and-out guabi.

While other lords were still blindly exploring, Zong Shen already had a strategy in his hand and knew everything well.

This is how the gap between the two sides gradually widened.

Others' astonishments are just a common warm-up exercise for him.

The brewing of the spatial singularity quickly passed for more than ten minutes.

The nineteen [Fifth Level Shadow Puppet Operators] recruited light cocoons to complete the condensation first.

These light cocoons are connected to a special different-dimensional space. They are like ripe fruits. They first burst into a gap, and then were completely transformed into space portals.

I saw dark shadows pulling away from the teleportation light door and projecting on the ground.

Every shadow was very active, stretching out on its own, stretching its limbs and neck quite flexibly in Zong Shen's field of vision.

It was not until more than ten seconds later that short figures wearing black stand-up collared cloaks, hoods, and masks emerged from the teleportation light door.

Their hands moved frequently, as if they were playing the piano. Under the control of these guys, the shadows of the portals that had walked out first stood up.

Each of the nineteen [Fifth-Level Shadow Puppet Operators] stood next to a dark shadow.

The manipulator plus the shadow, a total of thirty-eight figures bowed to Zong Shen.

However, no one said a word of greeting, making the atmosphere at the scene a bit strange.

Zong Shen keenly discovered that these shadows were more agile than those short black-robed men.

The two seemed to share the same soul, which made him feel a little strange.

Different from common infantry, cavalry, archers, and mages, [Shadow Puppet Operator] is a niche unit.

It can be regarded as a branch of scout/assassin.

A series like the [Nord Shadow Scout] that Tiezhu transferred to can also hide in the shadows.

The [Shadow Puppet Operator] controls shadows, somewhat similar to a puppet master.

Zong Shen estimated that [Shadow Puppet] should have stronger concealment and stealth capabilities than regular puppets.

But it will be weaker in terms of combat ability.

This is his judgment based on his own experience.

Characteristics such as shadow and shadow are often linked to lurking and sneaking, and are not as suitable for frontal combat as entities.

Of course, the details of these guys will only be known after some detailed inspection.

The [Shadow Manipulator] in front of him was quite silent. Not only did he not greet him, he didn't even show any emotion.

However, Zong Shen could sense that these guys were living people, not gloomy undead.

This means that these [Shadow Manipulators] should have received more rigorous training.

It is not just technical training, but also training for the mind and spiritual will.

In a way, they are both human and not fully human.

Although it still possesses human physiological characteristics, it has lost the emotions that humans should have.

Zong Shen quickly came to a conclusion.

Various brutal training scenarios come to mind.

It seems that in order to cultivate excellent scouts and stalkers, the Shadow Venom Assassin League is definitely quite cruel.

"Get closer."

He ordered softly, and in the next second, both the shadow and the manipulator disappeared into the night.

Thirty-eight black shadows followed the shadow tracks on the ground and came to Zong Shen in an instant, and then suddenly appeared.

It moves like a ghost, is elusive, and moves extremely fast. It can reach places almost shrouded in shadow and can be reached in an instant.

It's just that in theory, this method of movement should have a large distance limitation and cannot achieve long-distance instantaneous shadows.

In fact, the scouts/assassins related to shadow basically have similar movement methods.

For example, Tiezhu's [Shadow Stealth] and Mirror Shadow Demon Scout's [Shadow Form] are like this.

Nineteen short [Fifth-Level Shadow Puppet Operators] formed a strange combination with the same number of slender shadow puppets. They stood in front of Zong Shen and looked very scary, especially at this time. This is especially true late at night and before dawn.

The other lords around them all set up bonfires, and the orange flames were fairly bright.

Zong Shen was directly bathed in the moonlight, and his position seemed to be covered with a silver gauze, making the thirty-eight black shadows even more sneaky and difficult to distinguish.

"The fifth-level troops are quite impressive."

"Basically, it can meet the territory's needs for scouts."

Zong Shen thought in his mind, then narrowed his eyes and checked the detailed attributes of these [Shadow Puppet Operators].

[Fifth level shadow puppet operator: code name·37018]

[Qualifications: Rare/unconventional qualifications]

[Level: lv10]

[Attributes: (Click to expand)]

[Hunger and satiety: 70/100]

[Loyalty: 70/100]

…

As a fifth-level soldier trained by the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance.

These [Shadow Puppet Operators] have no names, only special code numbers.

And the qualifications are also very unique, belonging to the dual qualification type.

It stands to reason that fifth-level troops can have legendary qualifications, but these guys only have the lower-level purple rare qualifications.

There is just one more [unconventional qualification] as a supplement, and the gap between them and other fifth-level arms cannot be seen yet.

Needless to say about level, lv10 is the standard for recruiting volume warriors.

70 points of loyalty is not very high, and it just proves the ruthlessness of these guys.

But these are not important. What Zong Shen values ​​most is their ability.

After a slight pause, he thought about it and unfolded the detailed attribute information list.

Ruthless Person·Progress 3 (After cruel emotional rejection training, shadow puppet operators can remain absolutely calm and ruthless in most situations. They can firmly complete all instructions without delay or delay)】

(The powerful assassins trained by the Shadow Poison Assassin League are good at stealth assassination. Each shadow puppet operator has undergone rigorous training. They have almost no emotions and are extremely indifferent to external emotional stimulation.

This is also the "standard configuration" of high-level scouts/assassins of the Shadow Poison Assassin League. Emotions make humans progress and are also their weakness. The Assassin League needs killers without emotions to increase the success rate of missions.

However, being emotionless is a double-edged sword. It makes assassins ruthless and determined, and it also makes them lose their ability to adapt to changes.

To put it simply, these guys are ruthless executioners.

By the way, I would like to remind you that if you want to cultivate loyalty with them, you only need to establish your authority. Giving favors is of little use. Since the training to erase feelings is irreversible, Xiao Zongzi should not even think about it. Awakening their humanity

Some soldiers can be friends, while others are destined to be just tools of war.

Cruel, right?

not at all. )

…

"He is indeed a soldier with emotional flaws."

Zong Shen's raised eyebrows slowly lowered.

It can be seen that the Shadow Poison Assassin League is a very cruel and strict organization.

In order to ensure the success rate of the mission and the combat effectiveness of the alliance's scouts/assassins, they do not hesitate to perform emotional erasure.

Turning the Assassin League into a ruthless killing machine.

No matter what kind of guy the target is, they will kill them without hesitation.

The old, young, women and children will not let them soften their hearts, and the fierce and terrifying foreigners will not let them back down.

Fortunately, emotion erasure only targets high-level scouts/assassins of level four or above. Tie Zhu's girlfriend, [Venom Blade Katarina] who was once bullied by Mitani Hideki, retains her personal feelings.

However, her emotions are slightly weaker than ordinary people, and she is still affected to a certain extent.

Zong Shen thought of this and glanced at the [Shadow Puppet Operators] in front of him. These guys remained silent.

The atmosphere was cold and cold, as if in the eyes of these guys, there was nothing worth paying attention to in the world.

"37018!"

He tried calling using code numbers.

In fact, this number is equal to the name of the [Shadow Puppet Operator].

Especially when they came in compliance with Zong Shen's call and accepted Zong as their master.

Even if other people shout out this number, they will only be indifferent.

Of course, although these guys have no emotions, they still have wisdom. If Zong Shen specifically orders someone else to rule, they will also obey the orders of the assignee.

In fact, being emotionless is also a good thing, just like what the strategy module says.

Some warriors serve as friends, while others are destined to be tools of war.

Zong Shen is not philanthropic enough to try to forcefully restore the feelings of these warriors.

After he issued the call, the [Shadow Puppet Operator] codenamed 37018 performed a chest caressing ceremony.

"37018 awaits your orders."

"The shadow is smiling at you."

This time [Shadow Puppet Operator] finally spoke. His voice was extremely cold and without any emotion. It was simply an electronic synthesized voice that imitated the human voice.

It sounds normal at first, but it always makes you feel horrified when you think about it.

Zong Shen nodded lightly and added concise instructions.

"37018, you will be the squad leader, and I will tell you what to do next."

"Now spread out and protect the 500 meters around me."

His tone was calm, but he didn't show anything unusual.

"The shadow awaits your orders."

37018 answered briefly, then slowly raised his right arm.

In place, all the [Shadow Puppet Operators] slowly melted into the shadow of the ground like wax melted by heat, and soon disappeared completely.

To be honest, Zong Shen quite likes this kind of warrior who talks less and has strong execution ability.

After he found out the details of the [Fifth-Level Shadow Puppet Operator].

The recruitment of the sixth-level troops in front has finally come to an end.

The light emitted by the light cocoon suddenly shrank and became more and more solid.

When these light cocoons crack, they will automatically turn into corresponding transmission light gates.

Seeing Zong Shen recruiting soldiers here without hesitation, the surrounding lords were stunned.

Especially when they saw with their own eyes those [Shadow Puppet Operators] perfectly integrated into the shadows, they even let out bursts of exclamation, as if they had never seen the world before.

This is not to blame them, after all, the base of lords is too large, and the development gap between different lords is quite obvious.

Some lords have come to this day and do not even have fourth-level troops.

Some lords have obtained fourth-, fifth-, or even sixth-level soldier recruitment rolls early on.

Luck, strength, character, and even every decision are gradually affecting the development of the lords, creating an irreparable generational gap.
