Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The advantages of Crypt Kobolds in mining are mainly reflected in their talents.

As a race that can live underground for a long time, every kobold is born with the ability to dig rock and soil.

And they are generally more adaptable to underground labor and life than human miners.

Normally, human workers must go out of the mine every 2 to 3 days and receive sunlight. Otherwise, the eyes will easily degenerate, and the melanin secretion in the skin will be suppressed and become as pale as paper.

In addition, if humans live underground for a long time, time perception will be disordered. With a certain proportion of autistic patients, anxiety and hallucinations will defeat the miners' defenses.

Therefore, the vast majority of human miners must implement a rotation system when working in the mines. They go to the mining area to work regularly and at a certain time, and at the same time enjoy a certain number of days of vacation or job transfer.

Kobold miners have none of the above problems.

They can even live in the darkness underground without seeing the light of day for several years or even ten years.

Another point is that the body structure of kobolds makes them more suitable for mining work.

Their low stature, skin covered with scales, and pangolin-like claws allow them to survive in caves like a fish in water.

But human miners are not all bad.

You must know that the greatest advantage of human beings is not the powerful blood talent, but the accumulation and learning of knowledge and experience.

This is especially true for professionals who specialize in mining.

The elite miners in front of them obviously have rich experience in mining, and their labor efficiency will definitely not be much lower than that of the kobold miners, even if the rest system is included.

After all, the kobolds' enthusiasm for mining is based on the impulse in their blood.

The work discipline is quite lazy, and the kobold chief Dutra needs to be personally supervised every day.

In short, with the addition of this entire brigade of elite miners, the single-day mining output of Azshara Mine should soon reach a new peak.

It took more than half an hour for more than twenty internal affairs heroes under his command to complete the control and admission of the population.

The next step is the transfer process.

The new population in the territory today has been enough. Tens of thousands of soldiers have not yet moved into the [houses]. A large number of temporary triangular tents have been set up in the open space outside the territory as a settlement point.

Tens of thousands of white tents spread out across a large open space in Laoda, giving the impression of an ancient war camp.

Just to provide meals today, San Pang brought nearly a whole team of farmers together.

However, the rush is only temporary, and related arrangements will become more and more relaxed in the future.

After the entire miner brigade was brought under territorial control, the next step was to head to the Azshara Mine.

The corresponding dormitories in the mining area have already been packed up, and the follow-up supplies will be followed by dedicated internal affairs heroes to coordinate the distribution. Mariel has already given instructions in this regard.

Not long after, a dozen huge [Land-Traveling Ark Vehicles (orange)] slowly drove into the venue.

The wide, heavy-duty tracks left traces of soil stains on the stone pavement.

The truck body volume of this thing is comparable to that of a hundred tons, and the maximum load capacity is 120 tons.

If it is really crowded, the carriage can hold 60 to 70 people at one time, which is far more exaggerated than the King Long bus.

Of course, if it is so crowded, there will definitely be no riding experience at all.

Zong Shen had previously redeemed a total of 20 [Land Traveling Ark Vehicles (orange)], and they were busy from day to night, shuttling between the portal enclosure and territory.

It not only supplements the transportation capacity of hero-level talents' portable storage compartments, but is also responsible for land leveling construction and earthwork transportation.

More than half an hour ago, the Ark pilots received the order and immediately rushed towards the core area of ​​the territory.

They will be responsible for transporting these elite miners to the mines in Azshara, and then continue to be busy in the territory.

There will be a change of guard during the night shift, and people will park their cars all the time.

In this way, twenty [Land Traveling Ark Vehicles (orange)] were almost overwhelmed, making Zong Shen think that he had exchanged too little.

According to the current development speed of the territory, even if it is exchanged for a hundred vehicles, it can be used.

Zong Shen hugged Mariel and watched the miners climb onto the dirt-covered truck bed under the command of those heroic talents.

In less than ten minutes, 1,200 elite miners crowded into twenty [Land-Traveling Ark Vehicles (Orange)], and with the noise of the tracks turning and crushing the ground, they drove towards the northeast outside the territory.

After all, it is a fifth-level vehicle. Compared with the [Loader Mecha], the [Land-Traveling Ark Vehicle] is not only much larger in size, but its performance in all aspects has also been significantly improved.

For example, its maximum speed can reach 120 kilometers per hour, which is difficult to imagine among heavy-duty tracked vehicles.

Of course, when it reaches full speed, a few pieces of land will be ripped off.

Therefore, it keeps moving at a low speed in the territory, and only speeds up in specific environments in the wild.

The maximum wading depth reaches an astonishing 3.25 meters. In other words, it can easily pass through standing water one story high.

In addition, its biggest feature is the mechanical structure of [eight-track drive] and [four-core drive].

The front and rear double tracks can disperse the load pressure and have stronger passability and grip.

Four magic energy cores provide a steady stream of strong power.

Even if one or two of them are damaged, it will not completely paralyze the mobility of [Land Traveling Ark], it will only reduce its speed to a certain extent.

Judging from the information on the strategy module at that time.

Such a structure is called [column type rare-level magic energy core power matrix]. This mechanical structure itself also has quality levels, just like a magic array disk.

It is precisely because of such excellent performance that [Land-Traveling Ark Vehicle (Orange)] has become the most popular auxiliary magic vehicle in the territory.

Its practical value is beyond doubt.

Every day they contribute to the construction of the territory, which improves the development efficiency of the territory to a certain extent.

After seeing off these elite miners, Zong Shen had another conversation with Mariel.

Not long after staying, Mariel, who couldn't sit still, reluctantly said goodbye. She asked Reese Ulysses to activate [Flash] and take her to the entrance of the [Thousand Kilometer Directional Teleportation Tower] connecting the teleportation gate enclosure. .

Then he walked through the passage and headed to the enclosure to continue following up on related construction matters.

In place, Zong Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he took out the next item——

——[Complete Silver Moon Prince Emblem (Special)].

As one of the mission rewards, this emblem should have good value.

Especially emblems that exist as equipment items usually come with various buff effects.

Unfortunately, after a cursory scan, he discovered that this emblem was not a piece of jewelry, but a strange object emblem with more symbolic meaning than practical significance.

The silver moon wheel carving is quite exquisite, especially in the dark night, it can emit a light silver shimmer.

Looking from a distance, it seemed as if Zong Shen was actually holding a small silver moon in his hand.

However, the unique shape cannot be eaten as a meal. Zong Shen looked at the relevant attribute information that appeared in front of him with no expression on his face.

[Complete Silver Moon Prince Emblem (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[The emblem once worn by Silver Moon Prince Ansel Starming represents his noble status]

[Passive effect: Ansel’s authority (with this emblem, you can control some restrictions including the dimensional cage deep in the Azshara mine, and it can also be used as Ansel’s identity token)

Guidance by the stars (carrying this emblem will be guided by the stars and can discern the invisible magic of most elves)]

[It will take effect after being stored in the storage compartment]

(An emblem with more symbolic meaning than practical significance is considered a unique souvenir.

At the same time, by mastering this emblem, you can reuse the dimensional cage deep in the Azshara mines.

According to the strength of the restriction there, even demigods cannot break free.

When you come into contact with the surviving elves in the future, this emblem will also come in handy)

…

Zong Shen curled his lips and dismissed the message subtitles with a thought.

This emblem has some value, but not much value.

In addition to being used to activate the dimensional cage, its biggest function is probably to keep it for future contact with the elves.

According to the guide notes, this thing should allow him to gain more favorability from the elves.

Putting away the emblem, Zong Shen didn't have many ideas to explore and try it out for the time being.

The next mission reward belongs to [camp favorability], but Zong Shen cannot check it.

Guess what kind of hidden data it should be.

At least this [camp favorability] is not reflected in the [personal list].

But it is one of the rewards after all, so it must be useful.

For example, increasing the initial favorability of the elves towards oneself is like adding a layer of favorability BUFF.

It just so happened that he was going to try to make contact with the [Elf Eye] when he went to the giant city of Lentax (back to Chapter 265).

After all, the [Elf Eyes] are the "eyes" left to the outside world by the elves who have retreated from the world for many years.

Maybe we can take this opportunity to connect with the Elf clan's base camp in Silver Moon Forest.

After skipping [Faction Favorability], there is only one last reward left.

This is a permission-based reward, which can save Zong Shen a place in the enclosure.

It was the acquisition of this authority that officially confirmed his identity as the owner of Azshara Mine.

Moreover, this authority also comes with a variety of production and construction privileges, allowing him to develop the entire mining area more efficiently.

That's right, this permission is [Azshara Mine Construction Permission (New)].

The standard word "new" at the end proves that this authority is unique.

[Azshara Mine Construction Permissions (New)]

[Acquire territorial ownership of Azshara Mining Area by default]

【At the same time, you will enjoy the following permissions:】

[Permission I: The rough stone mining rate is increased by 15%]

[Permission II: The solidity value of the buildings inside the mine is increased by an additional 1500 points]

[Permission III: Certain materials can be consumed to reinforce and repair the entire rock wall in the mining area, and the time required is halved]

[Authority IV: Expand the scope of the mining area by 30% in all four directions and increase additional reserves by 25%]

[Permission V: Increase the production rate of high-energy/precious minerals by 1%]

[Authority VII: The mining area will be actively detected every 30 minutes, marking and warning non-territorial life forms in it, and can see through the stealth effect of no more than six levels]

…

The authority is pretty good, and he doesn't need to plant a flag in the mine.

In the future, if you develop the Azshara mining area, you will not only enjoy the construction and solid value bonuses, but also the mining area, reserves, production rate of high-energy minerals and precious mineral resources will also increase.

Even though the ratio is not that high, it can’t hold up to the huge amount.

In addition, the mining area can conduct area detection every half hour, making it impossible for infiltrators to hide.

At this point, all mission rewards have been viewed.

Various strengthening measures for the mine are also being arranged.

Currently in terms of labor, except for the underground kobolds and miner apprentices who are maintaining a rapid reproduction.

One thousand two hundred elite miners plus the four-arm construction robots recruited by turning on the [Mechanical Dock Form] in the [Pocket Mechanical Dock (Special)] should be able to make the machine within three to four days after they are all put into production. The output of the mining area has increased by 3 to 5 times. These are real gold and silver resources.

Coupled with his special title [Big Mine Owner I], he can directly strengthen the output of mining areas across regions.

Zong Shen is already confident that the output of the Azshara mining area will be restored to about a quarter of its peak within a week.

Judging from the size of the dormitories in the mining area, at its peak, the Azshara Mining Area had more than 10,000 miners mining at the same time, and there were also a large number of orbital manual mine carts and ancient magic machinery assisting.

In terms of the potential of the mining area alone, the resources produced here alone are enough for Zong Shen to use up to the giant city level.

And Zong has more than just one way to obtain resources.

Just when he was about to activate [Wandering Walk] to return to the Lord's Fortress Hall.

A new system prompt appears.

[Quick inheritance completed]

[Number of successful inheritances: 1015]

[Number of failed attempts to inherit territory: 2]

…

[Relevant inheritance items have been packaged]

[A temporary storage package is being delivered to you]

…

[Distribution completed, please accept]

[Note that due to the large number of items, opening the temporary storage package for the first time will take 10 seconds to 47 seconds to activate]

[The temporary storage package will exist for 12 hours. Please complete the transfer of items before expiration, otherwise the items will be destroyed and disappear at the same time as the temporary package]

…

The prompt information is pushed very quickly, almost refreshing line by line.

At the same time, a 1 meter × 1 meter × 1 meter square box suddenly appeared in the open space not far in front of Zong Shen.

It should be the temporary storage package mentioned in the system information.

It contains the inheritance harvest of the territories after the death of thousands of lords, which is definitely a huge resource.

There are also various recruitment rolls, leftover equipment, architectural drawings, unopened treasure chests, etc.

Regardless of the type or total number, this is the largest batch of items that Zong Shen has received so far!

But what made him more curious was that the number of territories eligible for inheritance was originally 1017, but in the end only 1015 territories were successfully inherited.

What about the two territories that failed to inherit?
