Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Through these monster materials, he can simply deduce the distribution of monsters in a large area.

At the same time, Zong Shen's yearning for the vast world also made Zong Shen a little excited.

He always believes that the ancient Chinese saying: "A good man has his ambitions in all directions" is not an empty talk, but a true truth.

Compared with the vastness of the endless continent, the one-third of an acre of land he has now can only be regarded as a particle in the vast ocean.

If you are complacent about this, hesitate to move forward, and only care about the land under your feet, it will be difficult to ride the tide.

It's time to go further afield, conquer more lands, and meet more heroes.

As for the construction of the territorial base camp, it is also very simple.

From settlement level, village and town level, to state and city level, and giant city level.

These administrative units derived from the kingdom's indigenous people are the best reference for territorial development.

Compared with the Earth, the most striking feature of the Endless Continent is not just that it is large enough, but that this continent is home to a variety of magical races.

Among them, there are highly intelligent races that are no less intelligent than humans, and even slightly better in certain aspects.

There are also ferocious and violent evil species, as well as demons from other dimensions and many alien invaders.

For humans, no matter how deformed the productivity structure of the Endless Continent is and how huge the gap in the level of military force is, it is difficult to conceal the fact that this is a high-risk world.

Therefore, the open cities on Earth are not suitable as a reference for territorial development models.

Urban models such as state cities, giant cities, and even war fortresses are suitable as standards for the future development of the territory.

Towering city walls, towering towers, majestic magic palaces and urban wonders...

All the above are the ballast stones for establishing a foothold on this land.

The sense of crisis in Zong Shen's heart never faded, even if his strength was always improving at an exaggerated speed.

The fantasy of the invasion of hellfire that he saw when the revenant little Kim guided him into the ruined crypt of the Boneyard has never been forgotten.

He believes that there will definitely be a protracted and real war in the future.

It is definitely not like a defensive challenge, where you can rely on your means and privileges to be clever in battle, but a real fight that blends life and death.

A real battle cannot be settled with a few explosions of [furnace bombs] or [arcane crystal fragments].

It is this worry that makes him always ready to build the territory, especially the core base camp territory, into an indestructible super war fortress.

Even if he opens up sub-territories or occupies more cities in the future, his status here will still not be shaken.

If Zong Shen is compared to a blacksmith, then the core base camp is the indomitable anvil.

A good anvil can make a good iron, that's the principle.

Compared with this vital issue, development branches such as trade cities, music cities, and food cities are insignificant. They can be dealt with while taking into account the main line.

Anyway, with [Rococo architectural style] skin, even if he surrounds his territory into an iron barrel, it will not look rough and ugly. This can be regarded as one aspect of the lord's privileges.

Since the purpose of development is clear and the model for reference is also clear and thorough, Zong Shen can leave with confidence.

Because the fundamentals are already here, Zong's goal of building a high-level position has been achieved, and the promotion effect of staying in the territory is not worth the benefits of going out to expand the territory.

As long as it develops in accordance with the guidelines he specified, at least the safety of the large area can be guaranteed for the next few months.

Because he didn't plan to take away too much combat power, he only planned to bring two or three confidants with him.

The remaining combat power in the territory is enough to maintain a deterrent effect on the surrounding lords of the large area.

To sum up, Zong Shen can travel far away with peace of mind.

He put the long journey plan behind the execution of the giant city of Lentax. Anyway, until the second batch of lords arrived, there was no need to worry about the challenges and the progress of the second and third acts.

At least four or five months of buffer time is enough for him to take steps outside the Kingdom of Avalon.

Coupled with the construction of the [Elementary Spiritual Virtual Network], the ruling elite of the territory can communicate with him remotely.

If something really important happened, he would be able to return through the giant city-level teleportation array as quickly as possible regardless of the cost.

All in all, Zong Shen has made up his mind, and traveling far away is an inevitable plan. It is also the first step for him to conquer the mainland and become the founding monarch!

The dual attraction of the giant hydra and the ancient treasure made Zong Shen eager to give it a try.

He even considered whether to change his itinerary and first go to meet the Scaled Mist Snake Tribe for a while, and then go to Seakabang City to plunder the population.

Compared with the Hydra, the wild owl lair and the suspected cult "Eredar" are nothing.

However, this strong thought was finally suppressed by him.

Zong Shen finally rejected the idea of ​​changing the itinerary.

Because although going to Scale Mist Swamp was in line with his wishes, it was not in line with his schedule interests.

His daily schedule is really tight, and he wants to use an ax to split himself into pieces.

Speaking of this issue, Zong Shen thought of the [Clone Creation Skill], and his first clone was being created.

The clone, which has 65% of the original attributes and is controlled by the main consciousness, might be able to help him explore multiple places at the same time in the future.

As long as he keeps himself getting stronger, his clones can also improve in proportion.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen regained his composure.

The word incompetent does not apply to the magical world, let alone someone from another sect!

The itinerary for the next four days has been determined, and he will first resolve the water source problem in the territory before heading to Seakabang City.

Previously, the strategy module provided four clues, and it would take at least a whole day to run through them all.

The remaining three days were spent dealing with matters in Seakabang City, so that he could barely make it on time for the appointment with the bard Ingram in the giant city of Lentax.

Shaking his head, Zong Shen looked at the three materials in front of him. In the end, he didn't collect any of them and kept them all in the territory as a stockpile of monster materials.

The thrill of looking through items and inspecting harvests has become numb.

But Zong Shen still wasn't impatient.

He still maintains a sense of humility in his heart, and no matter how much he knows, he still feels that he is ignorant.

Especially for this world.

There is still a lot of knowledge, information, item details, origins, and usage to master.

He wished he could turn himself into an encyclopedia, so that he could face the future and the world calmly.

He took out a fresh apple from the storage compartment with his backhand, stuffed it into his mouth and took a big bite.

The sweet juice and crispy pulp refreshed his spirit.

Then he got rid of all the distracting thoughts in his mind.

The human spirit is a container that can evolve. The more you know, the more chaotic your thoughts will be and need to be cleaned up from time to time.

Zong Shen himself is no exception to this point.

After all, he is still a mortal, not a god who sits on an unknown kingdom of gods and can look down on all living beings indifferently.

Maybe one day in the future he will reach such a height, but at least for now, he is still a mortal.

After eating an apple, I completed some mental introspection.

Zong Shen threw away the core, took a deep breath, and decompressed the remaining four "compressed packages" of monster materials in front of him, restoring them to materials.

】

Soon, four golden epic materials appeared on the ground.

The dark golden halo of the sixth-order material is extremely conspicuous.

Just like radiant-level items bursting with colored light, this is also one of the characteristics of high-level items.

Of course, these gorgeous light and shadow effects can only be seen by the lord.

They are like the emperor's new clothes, only reflected in the eyes of the lord.

The first is a prismatic piece, as big as a dark green thorn beetle on the shield.

It looks like the back of a saber-toothed dragon, but there are blue arcs of electricity flashing across it from time to time.

The moment it is decompressed and restored, the air is filled with the smell of ionized ozone, like the smell after a heavy rain.

Each burst of electric arc is about the thickness of a thumb. Sometimes they are connected to form a grid, and sometimes they sparkle and disappear, leaving only the "cracking" sound of electric shocks.

High-end materials all have such characteristics, and they can be extraordinary without any modification or smelting.

After all, level six is ​​a big threshold.

It indicates that the corresponding item has come into contact with some of the underlying rules of the world.

Just like the [Time Stop Orb (gold)] in Zong Shen's hand, it controls the ability of Time Stop.

Even if it can only cover a "small" area of ​​one kilometer in radius (from the perspective of the area scale of the endless continent, one kilometer in radius is a size that is not worth mentioning).

But it still represents the underlying rules.

The same is basically true for other sixth-level materials. Of course, not all high-level materials and magical objects can be related to time and space.

As the basic rules of the world, time and space are the real cornerstones and have a far higher status than other elemental rules.

However, it must be emphasized here that the rules are roughly equal. Whether it is water, earth, thunder, or wind spirit, as long as it has enough strength, it can also penetrate space and interfere with the long river of time.

Moreover, the rules of each major element are also one of the creation rules of the current world.

It's just that the priority is not as good as time and space, so there is a difference in personality between the rules.

It's like a car, with wheels, a frame, power, and a spindle.

The rules of time and space are the framework and main axis of the world. They are of great significance. They are both basic rules, but they have a transcendent status.

In any case, the higher the level, the stronger the strength, and you will inevitably come into contact with the concept of rules.

The piece of thunder spine armor in front of me must be the best material for high-level thunder monsters.

The second golden material is a pale purple tentacle about thirty to forty centimeters long, as thick as a child's arm, but not curled.

There are suckers similar to octopus tentacles on it, as well as irregularly distributed black lines.

The surface of the tentacles is also covered with a white film, which is the trace left after the mucus dries, similar to that of a snail.

However, the wrapping of this film just isolates the smell of the tentacles themselves.

Zong Shen took out a piece of wood with his backhand, tapped the tentacles, and the surface film fell off.

Wisps of purple evil energy were exuded.

"Evil energy?"

"Is it related to the outer gods again?"

Zong Shen was very sensitive to evil energy. Considering the previous commotion caused by the Goblin tribe and the observation post sent by the Aboriginal Kingdom, he put the tentacle back into the storage compartment to isolate the evil energy from escaping. scattered.

He knew that the indigenous people had a complete system for monitoring evil energy, but the accuracy would never be too high. At least the evil energy emitted by the tentacle just now would not be detected.

Otherwise, the first lord to get this tentacle would have suffered a long time ago.

After putting away his tentacles, he looked at the third piece of golden epic monster material.

This is another soul core. Zong Shen has obtained a lot of soul cores recently.

This kind of thing is usually the core of the ghost body, where the soul essence condenses.

The soul core in front of me is no exception, but the soul power contained in it is more powerful, but there are also obviously more impurities.

The main impurity is "violence", which makes this soul core no longer pure.

It cannot be directly converted into soul power like the soul core he obtained before, which can be used to condense souls of all levels for use.

When Zong Shen picked up the soul core, he even heard restless roars and wailings.

"Unknown soul core..."

"But if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Maybe there is another trick. Let's see."

His eyebrows arched and his expression became more serious.

The last material is a purple-green turbid liquid in a clear crystal bottle.

The bottle was about the same size as a water glass, and floating bubbles and unknown tissue debris could be seen in the liquid.

Moreover, the inside of the bottle has clear layers. The upper part is a purplish clear liquid, the middle part is a purple-green mixed ointment lake, and the bottom part is a dark green pus. Zong Shen's throat feels itchy and his stomach feels hot. Unconsciously, I had the desire to vomit.

"Is this damn thing also an epic material?"

Zong Shen subconsciously shrank his nose, his words full of disgust.

But no matter how disgusting this thing is, it is still an out-and-out sixth-order epic material.

There must be a corresponding use. If it is really unacceptable in the end, the worst case scenario is to put it up for sale in the [market]. There will always be some bad guys willing to take over.

This is a high-end material. Regardless of its function, appearance, and origin, just the gold level itself can be sold for money.

The added value of this level is comparable to the added value of brands on Earth.

Anyway, someone is definitely not at a loss.

The difference is small profits and big profits.

Curling his lips, he reached out and grabbed the huge thorn armor.

The blue arc of electricity stirred, but it did not cause any harm to him. Instead, it made him feel comfortable.

The power of [Leiro's Horn] is protecting him.

The small amount of lightning that naturally escapes has not exceeded the fifth-order energy level.

The affinity for the magic power of thunder and lightning elements in his body gave him a numb and pleasant feeling, like the feeling of an electromagnetic massager.

Just when he was about to take a closer look, a question suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Lei Luo or Thunder War Lizard, who is more powerful in controlling thunder and lightning?"
