Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The location of Jackdaw Valley is quite advantageous for Zong Shen.

It's not far from here to the kingdoms of Nord and Swadia.

Of course, the places bordering the two kingdoms nearby are all in the north of the kingdom.

There are still differences in location.

In fact, it's not that far from Zong Shen's territory to the Nord Kingdom.

It's just that his territory is adjacent to the south of the Nord Kingdom.

Both of them entered the territory of the Nord Kingdom, but they were very different in location.

It is no exaggeration to say that this long-distance transmission channel leading directly to Jackdaw Valley allowed Zong Shen to take a big step towards exploring the mainland.

After the long-distance transmission channel is reopened.

The church elders and red-robed bishops, including Mai Raven, stopped singing and praying.

They looked exhausted and breathed a sigh of relief.

The sacrificial materials enshrined in the light pattern altar have long since turned into light particles and disappeared.

Mai Raven slowly stood up and quickly came to Zong Shen's side.

"Master God Envoy, the end point of the long-distance transmission channel has been transferred."

"As for the matter of recruiting the elite members of the apostles and making them forget their faith through divine sacrifices, please wait for a few more days. The church also needs to rectify its internal affairs."

"At the same time, go collect the sacrificial materials needed for the new god's sacrifice."

Mai Raven's tone was full of exhaustion.

Completed one by one as agreed by both parties.

He could feel the weight on his shoulders gradually lifting.

I just hope Zong Shen can keep his promise.

He no longer hopes to carry forward the church.

I only hope to preserve the legacy of the Calamity Raven Church in Jackdaw Valley.

Situations are stronger than people.

I have witnessed many things and experienced many thoughts.

Mai Raven had already accepted her fate.

Many things cannot be forced.

Zong Shen nodded and didn't say much on the surface.

In fact, he was very satisfied with Mai Raven's performance.

As long as the Calamity Raven Church is obedient enough and takes whatever it asks for, he can extract enough benefits.

He will also fulfill his promise and leave a legacy of the church in Jackdaw Valley.

"OK."

“But it needs to be done as soon as possible.”

After a brief silence, he looked at the passage and answered concisely.

"Then let's start the population transfer now."

"No need to rush."

"It's enough to transfer two to three million people every day."

Zong Shen turned around and warned.

Mai Raven nodded quickly. He didn't bother to rest and took action again for Zong Shen's order.

This time there is no such urgent need for material transportation.

Most of the transport capacity of long-distance transmission channels can be used to transport people.

It's quite easy to transfer two to three million people every day.

These populations must be slowly digested by the territory.

Including the 20 million people currently staying in [Dimensional Seed (Special)].

Zong Shen even considered letting them build a small dimensional world on the spot first.

What's inside completely replicates the surrounding environment of the territory.

But it was too desolate.

Including the replica of the Azshara mine, it also needs manpower to prepare it.

It happened to take advantage of the time when a large number of people were settled in it, so we could solve it incidentally.

He gave this task to Penny Lancaster.

Not only does she stay in the small dimensional world within [Dimensional Seed (Special)].

Together with Henry the Marquis of Lancaster and other members of the Lancaster family who were originally staying in the giant city of Lentax, they were all there.

The Lancaster family now became a thorn in the side of Archduke Jonathan.

I can only follow Zong Shen.

Thinking about it, it is also embarrassing.

With the reopening of long-distance transmission channels, new population transfer work has begun.

Moreover, 70% of the supplies previously counted by the church were also sorted out.

Waiting to be transferred to Zong Shen's territory.

These were all part of the conditions that Mai Raven had reached with him before.

Obviously, it's going to be busy here for a while.

Zong Shen paused briefly to confirm that everything was operating normally before returning to the territory through the teleportation channel.

Riding on Nightmare Hamis, he took off and flew towards the territory.

Less than ten days after leaving this time, the entire territory has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The first is the size of the city. From a distance, it occupies dozens of kilometers in radius.

Various buildings are planned and constructed according to streets and districts.

Viewed from the air, it looks neat and orderly.

The smooth and solid high-level stone roads achieve full coverage and connect the entire city like arteries.

When he was not in the territory, the heroic talents under his command were not idle either.

I bought many advanced drawings of buildings through [Market] transactions and other channels.

Tall five-story bungalows have become the mainstream in residential areas.

Only in the newly built residential areas on the periphery can you see second- and third-story houses.

A carriage passed by on the stone road.

There are also many patrols composed of wolf cavalry.

The small river that had previously flowed near the territory was integrated into the city's aqueduct system.

Became one of the sources of drinking water.

The small lake originally located near Jiang Yi's territory was also included in the territory and became an important water source.

The expansion power of civilization is fully demonstrated at this moment.

Compared with before leaving, the area of ​​the city today has expanded more than ten times visibly to the naked eye.

Zong Shen was not so shocked when he was usually in the territory and witnessed its changes every moment.

But after I went out for a while and came back, I compared the impressions before and after, and the contrast became apparent.

Riding the nightmare, he was like a black stream of light.

The citizens walking on the street below raised their heads and paid attention to him.

There is an invisible connection between the people and the lord.

There is no need to check the identity at all, people know that their lord is back!

Nightmare flew over the outer city and gradually approached the central area surrounded by tall towers and fortresses.

There is not only his lord's fortress, but also the location of the core workshop.

There have also been amazing changes.

The tower in the central area is only more than 20 meters high and seven meters thick.

This size is far less than the giant city of Lentax.

But compared to the fourth-level city wall before leaving, the gap is still very obvious.

A more reasonable defensive matrix compliments the central area as the core and spreads toward the periphery.

Zong Shen saw his lord's fortress from a distance.

There are also two flying swords flying in and out of the sky.

The territory below felt familiar yet strange to him.

Because it is developing so fast.

Condensed in these ten days, for Zong Shen, it was like a different place.

Even Nightmare Hamis was a little surprised.

The Chosen Ones are indeed a group of guys who can create miracles!

Such rapid development is terrifying to any civilization.

It would take at least hundreds of years for the indigenous people to build such a city.

Just like those giant cities, which one doesn't have a history of thousands of years?

But in Zong Shen's territory, the outline of a giant city appeared in just ten days.

This place is like clockwork full of time.

All the people in the lord's territory felt something about the Lord's return.

Looking at his trajectory across the sky, they all cheered like a landslide and tsunami.

Most of the people under Zong Shen's command are very loyal.

Nightmare falls within the castle.

Zong Shen met many people who were longing for him here.

Mariel, Luna, two sisters, Marpel and Madeleine, and Althea.

In addition, there are three fat guys, Colby, Favid, Howie, Caniggia and so on.

Everyone looked at Zong Shen with excited expressions.

Easily getting off Hamis's back, Zong Shen hugged the girls in turn.

Especially for Luna, the signs of pregnancy became more and more obvious as her belly gradually swelled.

With Zong Shen's keen sense, he could even feel the little heartbeat when he touched Luna's belly.

There is also a sense of rhythm connected by blood.

After hugging the girls, he gave each of his men a firm hug.

During his absence, the development of the territory was inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone.

A lot of effort must have gone into it.

As the backbone of the territory.

Their efforts for the territory even surpassed that of Zong Shen, the veteran hands-off shopkeeper.

Pure material rewards can no longer express their commendation.

Only honor and Zong Shen's recognition are the best encouragement to them.

After exchanging pleasantries, he led everyone into the Lord's Fortress.

Everyone gathered at the long table in the living room.

The maid served wine and snacks, as well as some fancy fruits.

The territory is not only developing with urban construction, but the quality of life and material reserves have also been significantly improved.

Sitting on the front seat, looking at these confidants and lovers.

Zong Shen felt that there were thousands of words to say, but he didn't know where to start.

There was only an indescribable feeling in my heart.

He simply stood up and picked up the wine glass.

"Everyone, this glass of wine is for you."

"The glory of the territory will be with you at all times!"

Zong Shen said from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone stood up together and clinked their wine glasses from afar.

"Glory be with you!"

Different voices shouted the same words.

At this moment, Zong Shen's heart was filled with pride.

…

I stayed in Jackdaw Valley for two days.

When Zong Shen returned to his territory through the long-distance teleportation channel.

There were shouts of killing inside and outside the frozen giant city of Lentax.

The more than two million cavalry sent by Archduke Jonathan have gone through trekking and space methods.

Finally, we made it from the giant city of Dapos to the giant city of Lentax within two days.

When the cavalry regiment arrived, the giant city of Lentax was being looted by those locust-like lords.

Although what they looted was just the "crumbs" left over from someone Zong's meal.

But the total amount of supplies still surprised those lords.

At its peak, more than tens of thousands of lords gathered there.

Note that we are only talking about lords here.

After nearly two months of development, the surviving lords have a population of at least one to two thousand.

Among them, soldiers account for between one-third and one-half.

On average, each lord brought with him three hundred warriors.

There are more than three million people here!

This is just a rough estimate.

In fact, there are only a few more lords and soldiers gathered here.

Moreover, they also united with each other in the form of [Legion].

In the past two days, there have been many disputes and fights with each other in order to compete for resources.

There were six to seven hundred lords who died fighting for resources.

It's an exaggeration.

When more than two million knights under Archduke Jonathan arrived.

There was a duplication with the lords and the soldiers they brought with them without any surprise.

Compared with the orderly cavalry regiments of the aborigines.

Even if the lords cooperate with each other as a unit [legion], they look like a piece of scattered sand.

Under such circumstances, the cavalry regiments lined up and charged, killing about one-fifth of the group of lords.

The rest were quite clever and either escaped or relied on the ice shell to engage in street fighting with the towers and buildings in the second circle of the city.

The two sides really had to fight back and forth.

On the lord's side, fancy skills and props were beckoning over the heads of those high-level knights.

The two sides were fighting fiercely, which can be said to be very fierce.

Under such circumstances, the cavalry regiment did not defeat the lords in the first time.

The strength of tens of thousands of lords united together was actually enough to arm-wrestle with the aborigines.

It has to be said that the plan for the lord system is being realized step by step.

The most outrageous thing is that the battlefield there was exposed to the [World Channel].

Many lords within a radius of more than a thousand kilometers regard it as a "copy".

They actually started to spontaneously gather towards the giant city of Lentax.

At the same time, Archduke Jonathan also received news that the cavalry regiment failed to defeat those "bandits".

In fact, before the cavalry regiment set off.

Another seven to eight million troops are also on the road.

It's just that the subsequent army will arrive five or six days slower than the cavalry army.

Archduke Jonathan, who set off with the army, was also confused when he received the news.

"There are actually three to four million bandits?"

He subconsciously thought it was a writing error.

But there was no way his courier could have made such a stupid mistake.

Therefore, Grand Duke Jonathan was completely confused.

When did the gangsters have an army of millions?

And the immortal ones appeared around the giant city of Lentax!

Although it was mentioned in the messages sent back from the front line that the strength of those "bandits" was not strong.

And it was a mess and no order.

The high-level knights can completely defeat ten.

Even if there are millions of pigs gathered together, they are not easy to kill.

The most important thing is that in the eyes of Archduke Jonathan, those "bandits" seemed to appear out of thin air.

With an army of millions, even if most of them are ragtag or low-level warriors.

But it will no longer be an unknown force in the Endless Continent.

You must know that the total number of believers and apostles of the Calamity Raven Church is only three to four million.

There are so many "bandits" encountered on the front line now.

It's simply unreasonable.

The subpoena also mentioned that these gangsters generally fought independently.

The number of a handful of people grouped together does not exceed 100,000.

The threat is low, but the methods are fancy.

It is not easy to completely eliminate the cavalry regiment with a single type of arms.

If all the army arrives, the "bandits" can be easily dealt with by relying on the coordination of multiple arms.

This is the first time that Archduke Jonathan has encountered such an outrageous incident.

But no matter what, he had no reason to back down.

Don't call him a "gangster".

Even the apostles of the Calamity Raven Church are there.

This time he also had to fight.

Thinking of this, he issued two orders at the same time.

…
