Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Zong Shen's plan is actually very simple.

That is, after imprisoning the Dabos Gladiator Twins and the Fire Magician Doris, he disguised himself.

He and Xiao Heizi personally disguised themselves as the two gladiator brothers.

Then release the clone that was previously condensed through [Clone Creation] to play the role of Count Rice's waiter.

Sneak into the Marquis's Castle with different identities.

Zong Shen already knows many details through the strategy module.

Prince Carter actually didn't know much about the situation in the giant city of Dabos.

I have never seen the Gladiator Twins and Doris before.

When the time comes, he and Xiao Heizi will directly find the prince privately, report to him and stay by his side.

Two clones disguised as waiters will shoulder the important task of destroying Marquis Henry's Hongmen Banquet conspiracy.

Marquis Henry must not be allowed to attack Carter at dinner.

And it is best not to let Prince Carter notice that all this is happening.

[Clone Shaping] This ability is very special.

The clone condensed by Zong Shen has 65% of the basic attributes of the original body.

When converted, it is basically equivalent to the attribute level of a legendary low-level to mid-level powerhouse.

Moreover, this ratio is constant, and the specific attribute values ​​of the clone will change according to changes in the attributes of the main body.

In other words, if someone explodes and activates the buff effect, then the attributes of the clone will also be improved according to a proportional increase.

However, [Clone Shaping] also has drawbacks.

That is, once the clone is destroyed, Zong Shen's body will suffer a permanent loss of 65 points of wisdom attribute.

Under such circumstances, even the clone is a powerful force, but he still has to make arrangements carefully.

In addition, the clone also possesses a ray of ontological consciousness.

Zong Shen can not only control them by multitasking, but also let them act independently.

Because the clone's consciousness is essentially Zong Shen's own consciousness.

So he planned to use these two clones as surprise soldiers.

In this way, you can easily achieve the goal of dual-line operation tonight!

As for the fire mage, Doris Loud's absence is easily explained.

After all, Doris is a foreign aid and can move relatively freely.

Anyway, this is not a latent plan that needs to be maintained for a long time.

There is only the last day and a half left before the competitive meeting is held.

Zong Shen only needs to delay until the competition meeting is held so that the Calamity Raven Church can have a stage to enter and disrupt the situation. He does not need to worry about other things.

After everything was packed up, the two clone waiters also put on their formal attires and drove towards the castle in Count Les Kazan's car.

It is now 7:05 pm.

After disguising themselves, Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi also left the manor in their pockets.

Through the spatial sensing ability, Zong chose a detection blind spot in the first circle.

The master and servant stayed here and hibernated.

Through [Information Deduction], he understood that he could never show up as the Dabos Gladiator Twins at this time.

If he and Xiao Heizi appeared at the gate of the castle and asked the guards to inform the prince openly, it would only allow Marquis Henry to take advantage of the situation and attack Prince Carter in advance.

And they will be besieged outside the castle.

So the best way is to quietly lurk in the first circle.

Zong Shen multi-tasked and controlled two clones playing waiters.

After waiting for the dinner to start, he will control the clone, use the pathfinding of the strategy module, destroy the core of the castle's magic circle, and interfere with the ambush of Marquis Henry in the castle.

In short, he secretly sabotaged Marquis Henry's plan.

When there was chaos in the castle, he and Heizi entered the castle as Ole Sorensen and Bridger Sorensen to find the prince.

Hurry up and destroy Marquis Henry's plan before he attacks.

As long as the shrewd Marquis Henry sees the arrival of the Dabos gladiator twins, he will definitely change his mind temporarily and switch from being tough to waiting and watching.

After all, the preset method failed, and the reinforcements of the legendary strong men that were worried about before have also arrived at the prince's side. If they continue to fight to the death, they may not be able to gain an advantage.

On the contrary, it may easily affect Chi Yu, especially Penny who is at the scene, and I am afraid she will also be harmed.

Under such circumstances, Marquis Henry would most likely give up the plan.

First, make excuses to appease the prince and Grand Duke Jonathan, and explain the reasons for closing the teleportation node and the accident.

As long as Marquis Henry does not officially fall out, there is no problem in finding some excuse to stall for two or three days.

Then he will continue to hold on to the rodeo meeting, because this is also his best opportunity to take action.

In comparison, the arrangements for the Hongmen Banquet and the closing of the teleportation nodes seemed a bit abrupt.

What Zong Shen grasped happened to be Marquis Henry's inner bottom line.

This is also the real reason why the Marquis is jumping sideways repeatedly.

As long as the above plan can be achieved, it doesn't matter even if there are slight omissions.

It won't be a problem to drag it to the competition.

It doesn’t matter how much fuss you make afterwards.

Anyway, Prince Carter has long been a hot potato, and everyone wants to take a bite.

Even if there is no Hongmen Banquet tonight, after the competition, he will still become the target of competition between Princess Anna and the Calamity Raven Church.

On the contrary, the Lancaster family represented by Marquis Henry has always been in an awkward position.

They cannot escape the current situation of living between multiple forces.

So Zong Shen didn't care about the outcome of the Lancaster family at all.

To him, Marquis Henry was just struggling with an outcome that was already doomed.

Even without the intervention of Zong Shen and the covetousness of the Calamity Raven Church.

Whether they follow Prince Carter or Princess Anna, the future fate of the Lancaster family will not be too optimistic, and they will eventually become a member of the kingdom that is destroyed in the turmoil.

Zong Shen has already seen through the nature of the game between the various forces.

In this drama that may unfold at any time, it is absolutely clear who is the supporting role and who is the protagonist.

He and Xiao Heizi lurked patiently in the corner, watching the silver moon hanging high in the sky.

Time is also passing by bit by bit.

…

At the same time, clones No. 1 and 2 successfully followed Count Rice into the castle.

Waiters are not eligible to sit at banquets.

But a separate place for waiters to rest and dine has been prepared in the side room of the castle.

There are a lot of people invited to the dinner tonight, and basically all the knights and wealthy businessmen in the city are here.

The total number of attendants accompanying him reached hundreds.

The Marquis Castle is a complex of buildings, and all the waiters are placed in a hall near the castle.

This is a single-family building, not far from the utility room and stables.

When the two clones arrived at the waiter's hall, the place was already noisy.

Everyone received a simple meal.

It included a few slices of fine wheat bread with jam, an apple, an egg, and two slices of bacon.

There is no comparison between this meal and a banquet meal.

Just so that the waiters brought by the guests can fill their bellies.

After eating this simple meal, Zong Shen's main consciousness controlled his two clones and found a quiet corner to lie down like those "old-fashioned" waiters.

Experienced waiters know that this kind of dinner usually lasts until late in the morning.

After the feast, there will be a bonfire carnival.

It would be wise to take a rest now.

Otherwise, when the noble gentlemen are drunk and need support, the waiters will be drowsy, and they will be whipped several times.

Most of the hundreds of waiters in the hall took off their dress coats and rested on the spot.

A few people were talking in whispers.

Zong Shen's two clones closed their eyes after lying down.

Then he activated the ability attached to the clone - [Virtual Transformation].

This ability is unique to the clone. It can leave a phantom shadow in place and enter the sixth-level stealth state, which lasts for thirty minutes. During this period, the stealth effect will be temporarily lost when launching an attack, and will be restored after being out of combat for more than three minutes!

After entering the stealth state, Zong Shen took out two black iron masks from the storage jewelry that he had previously given to his clone and put them on his face. He also changed into a pair of boots and put on a black robe.

Although it doesn't matter if his identity is exposed, if it is really exposed, the fire will easily burn to Count Les Kazan.

If this fire can't be burned, it's better not to burn it.

After all, he would have to use Count Rice's connections tomorrow to contact the commander of the security forces.

If Count Rice is really burned, he will have to give up a layout line.

The loss was nothing, after all, Earl Rice had already been hollowed out by him and had officially joined the territory.

At the worst possible time, Count Rice will be asked to withdraw to the territory and use his one million dinars to help Zong Shen open a self-operated sex shop and build the prototype of commercial entertainment in the territory.

But no matter what, the necessary disguise has all the benefits and no harm.

When sneaking out of the waiter's hall, the two clones had already changed their outfits.

Zong Shen's mind was divided into several parts. While thinking about the follow-up plan in the main body, he controlled the two clones at the same time. He also divided a part of his mind to query the strategy module for golden circle marking and navigation.

The current dinner party has only been held for more than 20 minutes. According to the complicated pre-dinner etiquette and wine table culture of the nobles of the Endless Continent, the current banquet has just begun!

Following the guidance of the golden circle mark, Zong Shen discovered that the hubs of the castle's magic circle were scattered in five places.

They are the core located underground in the castle, and the magic energy pillars in the east, west, south and north directions.

Removing the four magic energy pillars can significantly reduce the coverage of the castle's magic array.

This is a magical array that reaches the level of brilliance. It integrates offense and defense. It can not only raise a layer of extremely strong magic energy shield to protect the castle, but also restrict the entry and exit of personnel.

If you want to make it invalid, you still have to attack the core.

After destroying the core, the magic circle cannot take effect and needs to be repaired before it can be used.

In addition, the ambush prepared by Marquis Henry was on the second floor of the castle.

Among them were trustworthy high-level warriors from the giant city of Lentax, as well as elites from the Swordfish Group and Sailfish Group sent by Princess Anna from the eastern giant city.

In addition, there are four legendary strong men also ambushing on the second floor.

Zong Shen planned to destroy the core of the magic circle first, and then use the main body to launch it.

By then, he and Xiao Heizi, the two legendary powerhouses, plus the [Glorious Warrior Kaji Mizzit] beside the prince, then Prince Carter will be protected by three legendary powerhouses.

3 versus 4, plus the magic circle suddenly failed.

There is at least an 80% chance that Marquis Henry will change his mind.

In this way, Zong Shen's goal will be achieved!

The first problem before us is to destroy the core of the magic circle!

As a large-scale radiant magic circle, the core is located underground in the castle and is strictly protected.

Even with high-level stealth effects nearby, it is not easy for two clones to sneak in.

Fortunately, Zong Shen was prepared for this!

The two clones officially entered the castle under the cover of shadow.

…

"Everyone, let us pay our most sincere respect to the wise Lord Marquis!"

"This glass of wine is dedicated to the Marquis!"

In the living room on the first floor of the castle, two rows of long tables were put together.

At least fifty or sixty guests were seated on the left and right sides of the table.

At this time, under the leadership of an earl with a mustache, he stood up to raise a toast.

Marquis Henry was smiling and looked no different from before.

Facing the toasts from the guests, he also stood up and raised his wine glass to greet them from a distance.

After the first glass was drunk, the maids immediately poured new glasses for the guests.

Then the mustached Earl toasted again.

"This glass of wine is dedicated to the great prince!"

"May Pendragon's dragon flag protect us!"

Prince Carter nodded absently, picked up the wine glass and shook it perfunctorily.

The guests present were not impressed by his attitude.

Then the mustache toasted a third glass of wine.

This cup is for Miss Penny.

After three rounds of toasts, all the guests sat down again.

The maid in charge of meal sharing uses a public knife and fork to divide the powdered meal into small portions and place them on the guests' plates.

Marquis Henry sat at the head of the table,

Penny sat on his right, and Prince Carter sat opposite.

He looked around the banquet hall, making eye contact with the confidant butler standing beside him from time to time.

Prince Carter looked a little lazy and tired. Except for looking up at Penny from time to time and toasting to her, he almost didn't look at anyone.

He is still waiting for the legendary powerful reinforcements that Archduke Jonathan promised to send.

I am considering whether to find an excuse to contact the Grand Duke privately.

Grand Duke Jonathan is in charge of the Imperial City, and the power under his command is more than enough to establish a Grand Duchy.

So he couldn't keep in touch with Prince Carter at all times.

There are endless meetings every day, including both external publicity meetings and internal secret meetings.

Under such circumstances, it is not always convenient for him to receive communications.

Prince Carter began to feel uneasy inside again.

He was so restless that he didn't notice that Archduke Jonathan actually contacted him not long ago.

But at that time, he was busy taking care of the maid by the bath, and he didn't notice the changes in the communication mirror at all.

Although this communication mirror can achieve stable communication over long distances, it cannot see communication records like a smartphone on Earth.

So he really has no chance to discover this!

As for the other side, what the Archbishop Jonathan would think after discovering that he did not receive the communication is another story.

At least for now, Prince Carter feels very uneasy!
