Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The tavern that Quinnier chose was called Mengzui.

It's not easy for anyone to open a tavern in this area.

This is close to the first circle and near one of the city gates.

There is a lot of daily foot traffic.

However, there were not many people drinking during the day, and the pub was relatively clean.

The waiter guarding the door saw Kunir coming on a war horse from a long distance away.

These waiters were very discerning and knew that the other party must be an officer of the Dragonborn Knights. They immediately stepped forward to greet him and lead his horse.

Zong Shen clutched the silver coins and arrived at the door of the tavern when Kunil dismounted.

"Come with me."

Kunil turned around and greeted him, and upon seeing this, the waiter quickly stepped forward to welcome him into the tavern.

Instead of sitting in the lobby on the first floor, Quinnier took him to the second floor and chose a quiet box as a place to talk.

I ordered some drinks to moisten my throat.

When the waiters left and there were only the two of them in the box, Kunir breathed a sigh of relief.

He picked up the drink and took a long sip unhappily, making no attempt to hide his emotions.

Zong Shen observed silently, appearing silent on the surface, but actually activated the strategy module.

Golden subtitles appeared, letting him know about Quinnir and Prince Carter.

This kid's exploration of the ruins must have been extremely depressed because Carter Huanzhi had a hand in it.

When half of the drink in the glass was drunk, Quinnier's mood barely recovered.

He looked at Zong Shen, who was sitting opposite, and gave him a not-so-pretty smile.

"I didn't expect you to still be willing to keep the appointment."

"I still remember you..."

"Your name is Qui...Quite!"

Quinnier thought for a moment and unexpectedly remembered the name Quite.

You must know that this was a pseudonym that Zong Shen chose casually.

Of course, there is actually a guy named Quite in his territory.

He came from a slave trader and was originally the son of the village chief of a fishing village. He was sent to mine because he refused to obey his discipline, and now he has become an honest miner.

Zong Shen didn't pay much attention to him, he only knew that the guy was probably still alive!

No matter what, in front of Quinnir, his name is Quite.

"That's the invitation you sent, I will definitely come!"

"Even if the journey is long and the night is long."

Zong Shen patted his chest and said with a heroic expression.

These sincere words actually made Kunil feel a little embarrassed.

He is now very confused about the exploration of the ruins.

I even retreated in my heart.

If you follow the legendary strongman sent by Prince Carter to explore the ruins.

In the end, she will inevitably end up making wedding clothes for others.

If there is really any good thing, the legendary strong man will take it for himself.

If it were the loyal personal guards around the prince, they would also bring the spoils of war to the prince.

Anyway, really good things will definitely not fall into your hands.

Every time he thought about this, Kunir would feel frustrated and unhappy.

So after thinking about it, he decided not to take Quite in front of him to explore the ruins.

"Sorry, the plan for exploring the ruins has changed."

"But since you have come all the way to Giant City, I will arrange a good errand for you."

"How about being a bodyguard for a wealthy businessman?"

"With your fourth-level strength, you can get a monthly salary of about 1,200 to 1,500 dinars."

"You can also stay with a wealthy businessman and enjoy good housing and delicious food."

Kunir is going to give Zong Shen a job as compensation.

It seemed that Zong Shen was just a young man from a small place with some ability.

In his impression, Zong Shen was only at the fourth level of strength.

So he felt that this condition should satisfy him.

A salary of more than a thousand dinars is considered a high salary in the giant city of Lentax.

Moreover, if you stay with a wealthy businessman, your living conditions will not be too bad in all aspects, and you will get a lot of conveniences.

But Zong Shen shook his head and showed a free and easy smile.

"No need, Lord Quinnir."

"Since the exploration plan has changed, I won't disturb you."

"I wish you good luck in martial arts."

Picking up the wine glass, Zong Shen said loudly.

This rejection was a bit unexpected for Quinnier.

"What's wrong? Do you think the salary is too low?"

"I can find an old friend and help you find a position with a better salary."

When he said this, Quinnier felt a little embarrassed.

Retreating in order to advance is the most deadly.

However, Zong Shen really had no intention of continuing to chat with him here.

Through the strategy module, he not only learned about Kunir's worries, but also learned about the location of the ruins and the story before and after its discovery.

The demon ruins are located in a mountain forest to the north of the giant city of Lentax.

The ruins are protected by ancient magical restrictions and are in a period of declining magic.

It is expected that all magic restrictions will expire in more than a month.

In addition, there is also a crucial token in Qunier's hands.

He hid it in the treasure house in his manor.

That token can open an ancient coffin in the ruins, and Zong Shen must get it.

It doesn't matter if you don't.

Anyway, he already knew where the ruins were.

Since Kunir didn't bring the ruins token with him, there was no point in him continuing to stay here and chatting.

While Kunil didn't come home, Zong Shen prepared to seize the opponent's manor quickly.

When faced with the new compensation conditions proposed by Quinnier, he still shook his head.

"Sorry, I prefer freedom."

After saying that, he bowed slightly and left the box neatly.

Showing a reckless temperament.

This surprised Quinnier. He opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he said nothing.

Looking at the box door that was closed again, he shook his head and sighed as he started to drink.

He was in a bad mood and needed wine to relieve his depression.

After leaving the tavern, Zong Shen returned to the competition registration point without stopping, calling for Xiao Heizi to run away immediately.

He found an alley to hide in, restored his original appearance, took off his jacket and put on a linen robe.

Then he trekked towards a manor in the second circle.

I'm afraid Kunier never dreamed that while he was drinking, his hometown would be raided by someone from Zong.

…

The eastern coast of the Kingdom of Avalon.

The giant city of The Hague and the dock of Sanya Port.

Several huge dragon-horned warships are being built here at the same time.

Strong human workers and orc slaves are busy among them.

Their powerful attributes allow these laborers to carry several logs with one arm.

They are all slaves and come from various war-torn areas.

He was originally a prisoner of war on both sides of the war, but now he has become the best laborer in the giant city of The Hague.

These warriors originally had good attributes. Both in terms of strength and physical fitness, they were much stronger than ordinary farmers. In terms of work, it was not an exaggeration to say that one was worth twenty.

In fact, most of the slaves on the battlefield of the Nord Kingdom were prioritized by major power groups.

These warrior slaves can not only serve as super coolies, but can also be adapted into a captive army when necessary.

The value is great. With them working on site, the efficiency of shipbuilding will naturally not be much lower.

Imagine a group of extraordinary warriors who can lift a cauldron. They must be equivalent to human cranes when doing work. Lifting logs with bare hands is not a big deal here.

It’s not uncommon to see workers lifting huge pieces of material that are disproportionate to themselves and climbing up and down.

In addition, magical power is also manifested here.

The earth mage can build a construction platform at any time according to the command.

Wood mage can turn saplings into wood.

Various types of magic vehicles and puppets are also common here.

Goblin engineers wearing goggles are constantly making measurements and corrections on the hull frame.

The human master is enchanting the dragon bone and drawing lines to connect the magic energy to it.

The magic productivity is almost brought to the extreme here.

Just beside the port, a graceful woman riding a velociraptor and wearing a hunting suit looked at the port in the distance where the warships were being built in full swing.

She was followed by several guys in cloaks.

The salty sea breeze blew from a distance and blew through her pale golden hair.

"The progress is too slow!"

The woman is riding on a three-meter-high velociraptor, looking condescending.

Looking at the ships in the distance, she said with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.

At this time, an old man standing next to him bowed slightly.

"Your Highness, the next batch of slaves from the Nord battlefield will be delivered soon."

"The construction progress of the warship will then be increased by another 20%."

"Please be patient."

This old man also wore a cloak, and his gray beard took up almost half of his face. He looked old and wise.

But Princess Anna shook her head.

"Mr. Andrea, even if we increase it by another 20%, the progress is still too slow!"

"The Kingdom's Sixteenth Fleet is currently docked at the Port of Elaraya."

"The Seventeenth Fleet is wandering around the Ziyue Bay Islands."

"The commanders of both fleets have sworn allegiance to me."

"But the situation in the kingdom is changing rapidly, and big changes will happen soon."

"The Eighteenth Fleet must be completed as soon as possible."

"This will speed up the development of that mysterious new island!"

Hearing her words, the old man known as Andrea nodded slightly.

"I can understand your urgency."

"The new island hides the secret of the Chosen One and becoming the Lord of the Era."

"But shipbuilding cannot be rushed."

"All the shipbuilding workshops and craftsmen on the eastern coast of the kingdom have been concentrated in the giant city of The Hague."

"We need more experienced naval architects."

"It will take at least three months for the teams sent to the coastal cities of surrounding kingdoms to recruit talents to recruit a new batch of talents."

The old man is obviously Princess Anna's staff, and he is very well-informed about the progress and all aspects of the news.

Know what the problem is right now!

Princess Anna narrowed her eyes and was not saying anything after all.

Just as she was pulling the raptor's reins and about to turn around and leave, she suddenly remembered something.

So she asked the other cloaked man next to her.

"How is the situation over there in the giant city of Lentax?"

"My dear brother Carter shouldn't be aware, right?"

This cloaked man is a middle-aged man with a cold and calm appearance.

He bowed his head and bowed before answering.

"Everything is normal at the moment."

"No relevant news has been received yet."

"All the sent elite warriors and legendary powerhouses have arrived in the giant city."

"As soon as the athletic competition starts, our people will take action together with Marquis Henry."

After hearing this, Princess Anna nodded with satisfaction.

Just when everyone was about to leave.

"Bah!"

There was a chirp in the sky, and everyone looked up and saw a gray bird emerging from stealth.

The bird has a lizard-like head, and its chest and abdomen are covered with fine gray scales.

Only the tail and wings have colorful feathers.

After it revealed its shape, it landed on Princess Anna's shoulders.

The princess touched the gray bird's head and took out a magically encrypted letter from its ankle.

There is a unique emblem on this letter, which is a redbud flower growing between two crossed swords. It is the family emblem of a certain noble boss.

After unfolding the letter, she immediately frowned.

Then he rubbed his fingers gently, and the letter in his hand turned into a magical aura and disappeared.

"call…"

After exhaling heavily, Princess Anna looked around and said.

"A magical letter from Grand Duke Chloé."

"The Bauhinia Guards under his command discovered that there were changes in the personnel in the huge city of Dabos."

"The Gladiator Twins suddenly passed through the teleportation array and left the giant city early this morning."

"The direction of the teleportation corresponds to the giant city of Lentax."

"The Bauhinia Guardian newspaper stated that it does not rule out the possibility that more masters have gone to the giant city of Lentax!"

Grand Duke Chloé is the supporter behind Princess Anna.

He is a grand duke with a different surname, and his family is the Lozano family. The family was passed down from one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table and owned twenty-two giant city-level forces.

The business scope of the main forces covers a large area of ​​land from the east to the south of the kingdom.

Therefore, Princess Anna can gain a firm foothold in the eastern part of the kingdom.

As one of the top Grand Dukes in terms of power, Chloe Lozano naturally has relevant intelligence forces under her command.

After Princess Anna accepted Marquis Henry's plan, she also asked Archduke Chloé Lozano to send out the Redbud Guards to monitor the dynamics around Magtan City.

In comparison, Prince Carter is indeed stupid and arrogant.

Princess Anna's arrangements were far more rigorous than his.

This tip is not good news.

The gladiatorial twins in the giant city of Dabos are legendary mid-level masters.

And he has experienced hundreds of battles and has been famous for a long time.

The two brothers cooperate with each other and can even defeat legendary high-level players.

And as long as there is movement, it means that Grand Duke Jonathan has taken action.

It is not ruled out that more masters have been sent to the giant city of Lentax.

After all, the Redbud Guards don't have many manpower in the giant city of Dabos, so there will inevitably be omissions.

So this is what worries Princess Anna.

Why did Duke Jonathan suddenly send a new legendary master to the giant city of Lentax?

She would never believe it if there was nothing fishy in it!

Thinking of this, she immediately issued a new order.

"Convey the information here to Marquis Henry!"

"If necessary, take action in advance!"

"Let's start at the castle!"

…
