Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

After reading the information given by the strategy module, Zong Shen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Obviously, he got a "super version" of the magic mecha.

This mecha was made by an aboriginal force specifically for the purpose of mining the "Fire Vein Mine".

For this reason, he spent a lot of money and combined the magic technology of many forces.

Due to the lack of main information, it is difficult to find more useful content in the strategy module.

It can only be refined and analyzed through various types of information that have already appeared.

First of all, the Flame Vein Mining Area is a plane node, and the approximate associated area is somewhere in the Kingdom of Swadia.

Zong Shen didn't know much about this human kingdom located in the center of the continent.

I only know that it is a country with mostly plains and Gobi.

Has a powerful cavalry regiment.

It is also the common intersection of the other six countries.

In addition, magic pattern technology and mechanical engineering are also relatively advanced in the human kingdom.

The fertile and vast land gave Swadia great national power.

Coupled with its special geographical location, it has become a recognized "neutral" kingdom, or the default buffer zone for the other six countries.

In the past six or seven thousand years, the Kingdom of Swadia has indeed had little external friction.

The relatively stable environment has made the kingdom's internal commerce, economy and culture extremely prosperous.

Including goblins, dwarves and elves, major business groups have set up special transit departments in the Kingdom of Swadia to provide necessary services such as material turnover for their respective caravans.

Finally, there is the Red Gobi in Swadia.

It is not only the home of the tauren and centaurs, but also the existence of suspected miracles.

According to Zong Shen's experience, the Kingdom of Swadia will definitely become famous in the future.

And it’s a bit strange to say the least.

Today, six of the seven aboriginal kingdoms have different troubles and hidden dangers.

The Kingdom of Nord took the lead and a civil war broke out.

This allowed all the lords whose territories were located in Nord to develop extremely fast.

When civil war broke out in the native kingdoms, these lords all changed their development methods.

Either form teams with each other, or rely on indigenous bosses at all levels to participate in the war.

The Trevasin family, to which the queen belongs, occupies nearly one-third of the territory of the Nord Kingdom.

The Lodbrok family, a royal family, occupies the remaining two-thirds.

There are also a small number of fringe areas that have become indifferent.

The kingdom's civil war is not a sure win for whoever has the bigger territory.

This depends on the strategic intentions of both offense and defense.

The Nordic Kingdom is quite large, even one-third of its size is extremely impressive.

With the Trevasin family in charge, it will not be easy for the Lodbrok family to gain an advantage in a short period of time, and the war will be very tense.

In the past month, the two sides have been fighting a major battle in the border area.

As for the small-scale mutual invasion and harassment, there are countless.

Both sides issued a domain-wide war order.

The giant cities conscripted troops from the state cities under their jurisdiction, and the state cities conscripted troops from the villages.

Grain, iron ore, cotton and linen have all become in short supply.

Various taxes and fees have also skyrocketed by nearly half.

Under such circumstances, the lords living in Nord also all showed their magical powers across the sea.

Some lords complied with the city governor's conscription of troops to the village and directly led the troops to join without any hindrance.

Some lords chose to go to the giant city and could still easily join the crusade.

Lords cannot choose which side to join in the Nordic Civil War.

Basically, whoever's territory is on his territory will follow whose legion to get involved.

If a lord and a lord meet on the battlefield, they will make trouble for each other.

Essentially, everyone is here to fight the aboriginal Qiufeng, and there is no need to fight to the death.

Compared with real aboriginal warriors, these lords and their warriors have some lord privileges and are much more capable of saving their lives.

Under such a situation of relying on war to support war, the average strength of the lords in the Kingdom of Nord has skyrocketed.

Of course, the number of surviving lords has also dropped significantly.

Although their battle risk is lower than that of the aborigines, this is still a kingdom-level war.

But on the battlefield, anything is possible.

If a few legendary-level bosses come to fight in a group, the aftermath is not something they can bear.

If you are "lucky" and encounter a demigod-level strongman who intervenes in the battle, the chance of death will skyrocket.

Not to mention that there are often a large number of spellcasters and magisters in the legions of the aboriginal people. They will work together to cast natural disaster-level magic. In addition, the terrifyingly powerful high-level magic weapons are also a threat that cannot be ignored.

After a high-level magic cannon is fully charged, it only takes one shot to blast a deep pit with a radius of about one kilometer.

Any creature inside will suffer more than 250,000 points of explosion damage.

This kind of magic weapon is considered a trump card war weapon among the aborigines.

However, the charging time is up to 12 hours each time.

Moreover, the energy bullets fired are also relatively slow.

You can see the giant energy light ball with a diameter of 150 meters flying from a long distance.

If you react quickly and run away from the moment you find out, you might be able to escape alive.

In a war of this scale, the outcome of victory or defeat cannot be controlled by an individual.

What is at stake is the top-down strength of both sides, and the final result can be determined only after the accumulation of various factors.

Ordinary lords do not have the qualifications and ability to turn the tide.

If you are unlucky, you often die without knowing how.

Even Zong Shen had the ability to kill a mid-level demigod in a short period of time.

Even on the meat grinder battlefield between the two major forces, there is no final word.

Therefore, Nord is the first kingdom-level force to cause chaos at this stage.

It seems that King Ragnar Lodbrok still owes Zong a favor.

You should look for an opportunity to cash in, and see if you can take advantage of the dispute between the two super families. After all, it is the best place to fight in the entire Endless Continent.

Any leakage of scrap metal can greatly increase the strength of Zong Shen's territory.

You know, even the recent slave market in the Kingdom of Avalon is filled with a large number of high-quality "goods" from the Nord battlefield.

Except Nord.

Needless to say, in the Kingdom of Avalon, the battle for the king will break out at any time.

Now we are on the verge of conflict.

Just wait and see whether Grand Guild Jonathan will be crazy enough to start a war for Prince Carter.

This incident will cause a chain reaction.

As the person who actually captured the prince, Zong Shen's subsequent decisions had a certain impact on the trend of the Kingdom of Avalon.

If Archduke Jonathan can calm down his anger, then the Kingdom of Avalon can have peace for a while longer.

Otherwise, if one place is in chaos, all places will be in chaos.

Just like dominoes, as long as the first one falls, it will definitely trigger a series of reactions.

After Archduke Jonathan's actions, other forces will probably take advantage of the situation to launch a war, whether it is for strategic needs or to take advantage of the opportunity to weaken their opponents.

Although the one who suffers the most is definitely Grand Duke Jonathan, if he chooses to go to war, it means that he does not care about the fight for the throne and the loss of strength.

When using one's body as bait, it is impossible for other forces not to come to an end.

Let’s not talk about the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Avalon.

Next to the Salander Sultanate, there was a contest between Brown (anti-harmony) and the royal power.

In the Kingdom of Virginia, there is the Lister family who is ready to make a move.

Altars of ancient orcs are constantly reviving in the mountains of the Rhodok Kingdom, and the originally peaceful orc forces are beginning to gear up.

The Kugit Empire is also in constant trouble, and their waters have been invaded by mutated deep-sea Nagas.

The war is spreading from the sea to the land and coastal areas.

These crises are often ethnic and kingdom-level disputes.

It reveals the future turmoil of the Endless Continent.

The only exception is the Kingdom of Swadia, which has no internal or external worries.

The entire kingdom exudes an inexplicable atmosphere of harmony.

Be united and have no fight with the world.

The major kingdoms and forces also try their best to avoid provoking the Kingdom of Swadia during disputes.

There is another point that Zong Shen is more concerned about.

There are no lords' descending points in Swadia.

Before that, he got an ambiguous answer by asking about the strategy module.

The original words of the strategy tip are as follows:

(There are currently no lords in Swadia, but who can tell in the future?)

This sentence is thought-provoking. It doesn’t seem to reveal anything specific, but it actually contains a huge amount of information.

The fact that no lords are currently coming refers to the first batch of lords.

However, there are more than one group of lords!

In other words, the Kingdom of Swadia is likely to be the "hotbed" for the arrival of the second and third batch of lords.

Moreover, the latter two batches of lords were all "old, weak, sick and disabled".

Among them are middle-aged and elderly people, disabled people, and even fetuses.

Needless to say, these people must have different positions and arrangements in the planning of the lord system.

In this way, it is normal for them to come in different forms and accept challenges from the first batch of lords.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Swadia is definitely an indigenous area with a special mission.

And it happens to be located in the very center of the continent, and other kingdoms are distributed around this center.

Like a hole in a donut, it has no meaning but is important and clear.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the Yanmai Mining Area.

Combined with its information loading time, the second batch of lords would have arrived more than one hundred and ninety days later.

As for when the third batch will arrive, Zong Shen dare not draw a hasty conclusion due to the lack of announcements and information support, but he estimates that it is most likely related to the loading countdown of the Yanmai Mine.

At this moment, it is already the 46th day after the arrival.

There are still 74 days until the second batch of lords arrives.

And the third batch of lords is likely to arrive in more than 190 days!

Zong Shen made a bold guess in his mind based on his experience.

He actually has two opportunities to open up new territories.

The first is the [Lord’s Courtyard Construction Plan (Special)] which is obtained from a large number of high-level treasure chests.

This is a special drawing that allows him to build a new lord's courtyard.

Details are as follows:

[Lord’s Courtyard Construction Plan (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[Effect: Can be used in any unowned land, select an area of ​​level 1 territory as a new territory]

[The new territory enjoys the same construction privileges and is no different from other territories in terms of authority level]

[Only when all the lord's courtyards under the lord's jurisdiction are destroyed will they become free citizens]

…

This meant he could establish a second territory within the kingdom.

Among the [Lord’s Privileges] that Alpha later exchanged, Zong Shen also exchanged for [The Second Lord’s Small Courtyard Opening Privilege on the Same Plane].

This privilege has similar effects to [Lord’s Courtyard Construction Plan (Special)].

That is to open up new territory.

It's just that the former is more free, because the scope of application of [Lord's Courtyard Construction Plan (Special)] is not limited to the Endless Continent.

You can use it even if you go to a new dimension.

The latter's development privileges are limited to the same plane.

So when it is known that the Kingdom of Swadia is famous.

Why didn't Zong Shen take the first step and find a good place to build a second territory in the Kingdom of Swadia?

It is not only a virgin land that has not been threatened by war, but also a hotbed for the arrival of the second and third batch of lords in the future. It is very likely to be the place where the future dominance of the Endless Continent will change.

What's more, it's still the hinterland of the mainland.

The location advantages in all aspects can be said to be unique.

Originally, Zong Shen wanted to build the second territory on the seaside or overseas, but now he changed his mind.

After understanding these situations, smart people will choose to prepare the layout as soon as possible!

"hiss!"

"Svadia is really not simple!"

Zong Shen had a look of realization on his face, and he nimbly jumped out of the cockpit of the [Mana Miner].

Through a series of clues and analysis, he came to a surprising conclusion.

Thanks to him being flexible enough to ask for tips when he has nothing to do.

He is very clear about the changes in the situation of the major kingdoms in the continent.

Under such circumstances, after comparison, the Kingdom of Swadia stands out.

No matter what, there is value for Zong Shen to make arrangements in advance!

Speaking of which, the privileges and construction plans for the development of the second and third lords' courtyards are also very rare.

The means of acquisition are very special.

Either it’s sky-high points, or it’s massive treasure chests.

Zong Shen's construction diagram was obtained from the batch unboxing before the defense challenge.

At that time, he had opened at least one or two hundred treasure chests.

And before that unboxing, he also passed the luck blessing of [Anna's Divination Coin (Special)], which shows that the probability of obtaining that thing is very low.

Therefore, taking advantage of the ability to open "split mines", the right solution is to go directly to Swadia to establish a second territory.

Compared with occupying the territory of the indigenous people, the lord's territory has more advantages.

Being able to enjoy all kinds of privileges, the rapid construction alone is unmatched by the aborigines.

Like now, Zong Shen can basically be said to have captured the giant city of Lentax.

But he lost interest here.

Just because the third circle with the largest area and the corresponding tower have been severely damaged.

This greatly reduced Lentax's value in Zong Shen's heart. (End of chapter)
