Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Latest website: Staring at those sand tables, Zong Shen couldn't help but think about the future of the territory.

The Endless Continent is quite vast, with a massive population and as many ethnic groups as flowers.

Under such a premise, the development limit of the territory can be seen almost at a glance.

If you want to break this restriction, establishing a kingdom becomes an inevitable option.

Otherwise, no matter how big a city is built, it will not be able to compare with any kingdom.

Of course, the subsequent fight for the kingdom fragments will essentially depend on the strength of their respective territories.

Therefore, trying to make your territory bigger and stronger is still the best way to maintain your advantage.

With this thought in mind, Zong Shen roughly understood where the opportunity for the next stage lies.

Just when he was standing in front of the sand table thinking about the future development of the territory.

The [Communication Crystal] worn on his chest suddenly lit up.

Zong Shen took off the crystal and glanced at the number that appeared on it, and found that the communication was actually from Jiang Yi.

Normally, if there was nothing serious, she and Medina would rarely disturb her.

Without any hesitation, he chose to answer.

"Jiang Yi?"

"What happened to the Legion?"

Zong Shen simply asked proactively.

Jiang Yi's slightly confused answer soon came from the other end of the [Communication Crystal].

"You haven't watched [Channel] in the past few days, have you?"

Zong Shen admitted this frankly.

"Yeah, I've been busy dealing with the trophies in the past few days."

He said bluntly.

In fact, his conquest of the giant city of Lentax was not a big secret among the lords.

Whether it was the live pictures that were liked and pinned to the top of the [World Channel] or the banners he received later, they all proved that he was the biggest beneficiary after the destruction of the giant city of Lentax.

At this time, Jiang Yi quickly told Zong Shen what happened there in the past few days.

Including what happened between the lord's army and the Kingdom's army under Archduke Jonathan.

There are also cases where some lords receive special tasks.

In fact, the only people who participated in that battle were those lords who received missions and could earn points.

There are also some lords who participate purely voluntarily and plan to fish in troubled waters.

Archduke Jonathan brought an army of tens of millions, as well as countless baggage ordnance.

Most lords can make a lot of money just by picking up a loophole.

The risks are high, but the benefits are equally large.

Even if there are no points, there are many lords who are willing to take risks and join the battlefield willingly.

Because of this, the current situation on the Lentax battlefield has become increasingly uncontrollable.

Jiang Yi spent a few minutes explaining the cause and effect.

Zong Shen suddenly had a strange look on his face when he learned about this.

Previously, he had learned through the strategy module that he and the Calamity Raven Church had just left.

Later, many lords went to the huge city of Lentax, which had been looted, to fight against the autumn wind.

Moreover, Zong Shen also knew that Archduke Jonathan's army was on its way to Lentax.

In his opinion, although the lords were difficult to deal with after joining together, they were certainly no match for the regular troops of the Kingdom of Avalon under the Archduke.

Unexpectedly, the lord system directly intervened and issued the task.

There was a strong intention to encourage the lords to engage in open war with Jonathan.

Zong Shen could guess the purpose of this move with just a little thought.

It is nothing more than to improve the development level of regional lords and conduct new screening.

In essence, this limited mission is no different from previous challenges.

They all force the lord to exchange his life for income.

The winner rises, the loser sleeps forever.

A very simple and crude, yet very effective selection method.

The lords are like jumping sardines.

As the lord system that dominates everything, just throwing some bait casually can cause fierce competition.

"Have any members in our legion received relevant tasks?"

Zong Shen asked immediately.

Although he doesn't take care of things very much, he still remembers that the members of this legion are all outstanding leaders in the region.

"No."

"However, there is an additional option of [Regional Support] in the [Legion] option."

"Currently, there is only one optional branch in this option: [Fierce Battle of Rentax]."

"So Medina and I wanted to ask your opinion."

Jiang Yi has completely placed herself in the position of a subordinate.

Ever since her life was saved by Zong Shen, she had completely determined to hug her thigh.

Facts have already proven that following Zong Shen definitely brings more benefits than disadvantages.

"Regionally supported branching options..."

Zong Shen muttered in his heart.

The so-called [regional support] is not difficult to understand.

With the rapid rise of the lords, the situation of the indigenous people in various places has obviously worsened.

In this context, [Regional Support] is nothing more than relying on [Legion], a cooperative organization of lords, to encourage lords to participate in regional disputes.

Zong Shen himself had no interest in this.

After all, the giant city of Lentax itself is the "leftovers" left by him.

Most of the supplies in the entire giant city, including some resources from the Calamity Raven Church, are under his control.

The most important thing now is to digest these resources as soon as possible and transform them into the strength of the territory.

Besides, nothing else is worth mentioning.

Only by digesting it as soon as possible can he take the territory to a new stage.

So he had no interest in fighting Archduke Jonathan.

He is already a "player" of the super version, so naturally he has no interest in the gameplay of the old version.

However, for the members of [Legion], his opinion is actually very simple, that is, try to follow the guidance of the lord system and move forward. The advantages of doing so outweigh the disadvantages.

Moreover, [Regional Support] is a new function open to all [Legions].

Zong Shen estimated that all the [legions] within tens of thousands of kilometers around the giant city of Lentax could be connected to the branch called [Fierce Battle of Lentax].

So after a little thought, he agreed.

"I think we can participate. You and Medina can organize it."

"I've been very busy recently, so I won't get involved."

"By the way, our people shouldn't stay with those guys in the city."

"Their defensive position seems to have an advantage, but in fact they will become the main target of Archduke Jonathan."

Zong Shenyan warned in a concise and concise manner.

When Jiang Yi heard that he would not participate, she was immediately disappointed.

With Zong Shen's strength, if he were willing to lead the team himself, he would definitely be able to cause heavy damage to the kingdom's regular army led by the aborigines.

However, Jiang Yi still has great confidence in the [Guide Corps].

Currently, there are more than 3,000 members in [Legion].

They are generally lords with a population of more than 3,500, and their overall strength is still very strong.

It is not difficult to pull out a relatively elite legion.

She took note of Zong Shen's words carefully and responded with a respectful tone.

Then the two parties chatted for a few more words, and the communication ended.

Zong Shen opened the merged [Regional Channel] and [Legion Channel] respectively.

I quickly came across a lot of topics discussing this task, and I immediately knew what was going on.

This mission uses a compound points system, in addition to gaining points through most war actions.

Each lord who receives a task can also get a random task matching his own strength every day.

You can freely choose whether to undertake this task.

After completion, you can get a reward of points, materials and recruitment coupons.

For example, Zong Shen saw a sample mission issued by a lord.

[Mission name: Attack on grain and grass]

[Task requirements: Lead a team of no more than 1,000 people to attack Archduke Jonathan's grain and grass baggage. Destroying ten baggage boxes of grain and grass will determine the mission is completed]

[Mission rewards: Level 3 random soldier recruitment coupon × 24, Level 4 random soldier recruitment × 12, Resource box (blue) × 20, Dinar small purse (blue) × 20, Food supply box (blue) × 10. Equipment box (purple) × 2, equipment box (blue) × 4]

The task has a limited completion time of that day and will be refreshed the next day.

And the rewards for such tasks are quite generous for ordinary lords.

It has only been three days since this mission started, and the strength of many lords in the area has improved significantly.

This is not counting the newly launched [Legion] function [Regional Support].

If Grand Duke Jonathan stays for ten days and a half, I am afraid that the average development level of the lords with a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers will be improved by one or two levels.

As a price, the number of regional lords should be reduced a lot.

After figuring out the intention of the lord system, Zong Shen couldn't help but sigh.

This exclamation was not directed at the lords.

It was addressed to Archduke Jonathan.

It is obvious that Archduke Jonathan has become the number one fat sheep.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Zong Shen had a rare moment in the [Legion Channel].

I encouraged and warned everyone a few words.

Then he donated hundreds of purple rare-level equipment to the legion-level building [Armoury].

Most of them were built by the territorial blacksmith shop matrix themselves.

There are also some standard equipment of the Elf series obtained from Azshara's sewer fortress and mountain bunker.

The addition of this batch of equipment to the Armory aroused cheers from the legion members.

There have been a lot more purple rare-level equipment recently, but they haven’t turned into cabbage yet.

Therefore, these hundreds of rare pieces of equipment have greatly enriched the inventory of the [Armory].

Ordinary legion members need to contribute points if they want to redeem equipment from the [Armoury].

The only source of contribution points is donating resources to the legion or donating equipment as well.

The construction and upgrade of [Legion] are also inseparable from resources.

After doing this, Zong Shen directly turned off all [channels] and returned to a small transparent state.

His development progress is too far ahead, and he really has nothing in common with his followers.

What Zong Shen was after was beyond their reach.

And Zong Shen would only find what they were pursuing boring.

This is the manifestation of the generation gap and disparity.

Maybe what everyone thinks is important is just a trivial matter to Zong Shen.

The strong are lonely, that's all.

After gathering his thoughts, he looked at the [Territory Construction Sand Table] again.

Then he turned his attention to his surroundings.

There are heroic talents on call in the city hall 24 hours a day.

Howie and Mariel are not here. They usually stay in key places in the territory to follow up on the construction situation.

The people who stay in the city hall are the second-in-commands.

Many of the heroic talents are fresh faces who were promoted later based on their talent and loyalty.

These heroic talents quickly stood up and saluted after seeing Zong Shen.

Zong Shen waved his hand casually. He had his own office in the city hall.

However, the city hall has been vacant since it was built.

But in any case, this can be regarded as separating the official business from the original lord's fortress.

It can be regarded as a kind of restructuring that distinguishes public and private.

Zong Shen would summon people to the lord's fortress to discuss any matter in the province.

Although this city hall was built without drawings, it is large enough and built firmly enough.

Go into your office.

The layout inside is simple. There is a large floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the wall, facing the east. The curtains can be drawn up at ordinary times.

Standing by the window you can look out over the city in the distance.

Sitting on the large wooden chair, Zong Shen took out the [Communication Crystal] and called Zoe Babbitt to report the situation.

About twenty minutes later, Zoe brought the great adventurer ghost Jacques Picard to visit Zong Shen.

After a simple ceremony, Zong Shen motioned for them to take their seats.

After not seeing her for two weeks, Zoe Babbitt's temperament has changed somewhat.

The original innocence and innocence have completely subsided, replaced by a bit of shrewdness and capability.

It is no exaggeration to say that just by looking at her eyes, Zong Shen knew that she was an adventurer.

Zoe wore a corseted leather armor, a short sword on her waist, and a pair of rare light leather boots on her legs.

There is also a legendary orange cloak behind him.

Wearing a legendary feather hat on his head.

As the expedition leader, Zong Shen personally allowed her to choose equipment from the harvest of the expedition.

Therefore, the equipment on this guy is quite luxurious.

There is no look of fatigue on her pretty face, and every inch of her skin is full of vitality.

"Lord Lord."

"We haven't seen you for two weeks and you've become stronger again."

Zoe Babbitt said with a smile.

Zong Shen raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Zoe with interest and replied.

"You have changed a lot too."

"So, do you still regret following me and leaving the family's protection?"

he asked with a smile.

I saw Zoe shaking her head firmly.

"You did what you promised."

"There are countless ruins and wonderful places waiting for me on this continent."

"And following you, I will eventually have the opportunity to set foot on the entire continent."

Her tone was firm and confident.

After seeing the broader sky, she would no longer be willing to return to the capital city to be a carefree count's daughter, but the occasional longing for her would make her feel nostalgic.

"That's good."

"Tell me about the situation in the bunker in Azshara Mountain and the general gains."

"Next step, I plan to attack the Bone Burial Ground."

"The Tower of the Dead is buried there, as well as the last [Elven Key]."

"When all the Elf Keys are collected, it will be time to excavate the ruins of Azshara on a large scale and open the treasure house of Azshara."
