Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Chapter 1311: Depreciation of Carter, population explosion

Latest website: After Grand Duke Jonathan was selected by the lord system.

Zong Shen's plan to use Prince Carter to blackmail him changed.

And based on the reactions of those lords who received system invitations, they also received brand-new prompts later.

Points income has been increased by 2 times, and additional permissions have been supplemented.

15% of the soldiers lost every day will enter the state of cooldown and resurrection.

Wait 24 hours to resurrect, but the same soldier can only be resurrected once at most.

In addition, the items that can be redeemed in the points mall have become more abundant.

It even includes fifth-level and sixth-level recruitment coupons, but the number of exchanges is limited per day.

In this way, the benefits of staying in the giant city of Lentax to participate in the battle will be greatly improved.

But the risks of combat are also multiplied.

Because Archduke Jonathan can also benefit from fighting.

The items he can redeem are different from those of the lords.

The exchange mall dedicated to Grand Duke Jonathan will include items such as lifespan, strength, soldier enhancement, etc., as well as many exchange props with more intuitive effects.

For example, batch recruitment volumes.

Moreover, these buffs and exchange items can take effect on all territories under his command.

So not only did Archduke Jonathan no longer avoid Lentax's war, but he became excited again.

As long as he makes good use of this opportunity, he can quickly expand his power.

Soldiers will also become more powerful.

Thus gaining a far superior advantage over other archdukes.

This gave him new hope.

What's more, he can even redeem his lifespan, so why should he put his hope in Carter, an ineffective guy.

Except for being qualified to win the king, Carter is simply useless.

When it comes to illegitimate children, he has quite a few.

After gaining authority beyond his native status, Grand Duke Jonathan's ambitions naturally expanded.

He no longer cares about any moral rules and only needs to use this authority to continuously increase his power.

When his power alone is enough to crush all the archdukes, he becomes the uncrowned king of Avalon.

What's more, Jonathan's last name is also Pendragon.

He has pure royal blood.

This example is not impossible to break.

It can be seen that the lord system has great intentions to support the fire.

Balance and compensation mechanisms are given on the left and right.

After Archduke Jonathan gets the privilege, the offensive intensity and motivation will become stronger.

With such a premise, the lords participating in this competition and campaign deserve better rewards.

The reward level and risk must be linked to each other to provide sufficient motivation for both parties to attack and defend.

It's just that this matter is not good news for Zong.

Apart from the fact that Prince Carter's value as a hostage was reduced, it was also because Lentax was too close to his territory.

As this storm intensifies, it is likely to lead to changes in the situation near the territory.

This affects the normal construction and development of the territory.

Therefore, after careful consideration.

He could only overturn his previous plan.

The previous Archduke Jonathan had not yet broken away from his Aboriginal identity, so he could easily be kept in the dark.

At that time, Zong Shen decided to let the Calamity Raven Church take the blame in order not to get burned.

But God's calculations are not as good as those of man.

The willfulness of the lord system was beyond his comprehension.

Archduke Jonathan jumped out of the "siege", and there is no point in covering him up now.

Because he already knew the existence of the lord.

Simply hand over Prince Carter in advance and get whatever benefits you can get in exchange.

Anyway, anyone who comes will not be rejected.

He estimated that even if Carter couldn't exchange for the giant city, it would still be no problem to exchange for a few sixth-order space mages.

Moreover, Zong Shen is planning to interview Grand Duke Jonathan this time.

Maybe we can reach consensus on other aspects.

But this matter is indispensable without the cooperation of Mai Raven.

After several consecutive [Fantasy God Flashes], Zong Shen came to the vicinity of the large space teleportation channel.

Several consecutive days of population transfer gave the territory a wealth of relevant processing experience.

Various magic energy vehicles take turns waiting here.

The people who were teleported were first assembled in an empty field according to the thousands-man team.

Every ten thousand-man teams are transferred together. At the same time, the new thousand-man teams are assembled simultaneously.

The territory's transshipment capacity is limited. According to the current frequency, it can transship more than 100,000 people per hour.

Operating in three shifts 24 hours a day, it can transport two to three million people every day.

It is estimated that in two days, the entire population will be transferred.

In fact, these transferred populations did cause a considerable burden in the early stage.

But as resettlement continues and construction work intensifies, population absorption becomes smoother and smoother.

After absorbing this population, the total population of the territory will exceed 23 million.

And the current territory size has reached the giant city level.

Of course, due to efficient architectural layout and planning, there are fewer buildings with wider areas than in the giant city of Lentax, as well as the manors of nobles and wealthy merchants.

So it looks very compact in overall area.

But taken together, no matter from which angle it is analyzed, the current territory can be regarded as a giant city.

The standard of a giant city is not just judged by the area of ​​the city.

After all, different urban planning can accommodate very different numbers of people.

Not to mention anything else, it is just the estates of the wealthy merchants and nobles in the huge city of Lentax.

If it is freed up to build multi-story residential buildings, it can accommodate at least tens of millions of additional people.

Not to mention the Marquis Fortress of the Lancaster family, which even occupies the entire core area of ​​the giant city.

If that core area is really utilized, it won't be a problem to accommodate an additional two to three million people.

Therefore, looking only at urban area without looking at population density is undoubtedly a rather one-sided behavior.

In the next period of time, as long as Zong Shen gradually digests the 20 million people under Penny Lancaster's name, the total population of the territory will reach more than 40 million.

Comparable to Lentax before the war.

In addition, there is also a very important demographic situation that must be emphasized.

That is the addition of refugees and migrants.

As the size of the territory continues to increase, it becomes more and more attractive to refugees.

At first it was a few people a day, then it was dozens, then hundreds.

Now, on average, thousands of refugees voluntarily join the territory every day.

Yes, thousands.

As the influence of the territory continued to expand, a large number of refugees came here every day.

At present, the furthest one is from a village more than 1,400 kilometers away.

There were hundreds of them, with horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.

It turned out to be a farmer in the village who was displaced due to banditry.

It took us several decades of trekking to get here.

In fact, considering the size of the current territory, the average daily income of thousands of refugees is not that much.

In total, there are only hundreds of thousands of people a month.

But in the eyes of the lords in the nearby area, this was already very terrifying.

In order to ensure the smooth reception of refugees.

The territory has established transfer stations in the surrounding areas.

Used to help refugees reach the territory.

At the same time, as early as more than ten days ago, the clean-up team formed in the territory was officially launched.

All gangsters within a thousand kilometers radius were completely eliminated.

Regular patrols are also carried out in the directions where refugees often come to ensure that the population is received as efficiently as possible.

These measures have been implemented thoroughly in the territory.

The strong adaptability allows the territory to well complete the reception of various types of population.

Zong Shen had understood before that the importance of population to the development of the territory.

After successfully reaching the giant city level, the next step is to promote the population to move towards the billion level.

Further challenges the population carrying limit of a single territory.

Zong Shen estimated that the population of the territory would be fully saturated before the beginning of the era change.

But speaking of it, people don’t actually occupy positions.

As long as the territory expands to hundreds of kilometers in radius, if planned properly, it will be no problem to carry one to two billion people, and it will even be relatively easy.

But the scale of this city can be described as terrifying.

You must know that most of the provinces of China on the earth are within a radius of several hundred kilometers.

It's quite exaggerated to think that such a large area constitutes a city.

But people really don’t take up space.

On the pre-arrival Earth, if 7.2 billion people were piled together like stacks of Arhats, they would only be able to form a small pile 788 meters high.

And what is the concept of 788 meters?

At that time, the height of the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, was 828 meters.

It is not people who take up space, but the space needed for human life.

Moreover, there are some foreign races in the territory, and these need to be arranged separately.

If you study it carefully, there is really a lot of knowledge in it.

But Zong Shen believes that Mariel, Howie, and the many heroes in the territory today can handle these problems.

While thinking about the population issue, he came to the bottom of the transmission channel.

Most of the huge transmission channels serve to receive materials and people.

Only in the edge corner, a small area is left for reverse traversal to Jackdaw Valley.

As a lord with privileges, he came directly to that area and responded to the light beam floating up.

Came to Jackdaw Valley again, it was still cold here.

It's just that because of the massive migration of people, it has become less crowded and noisy.

Jackdaw Valley can fully accommodate the remaining four to five million people.

Zong Shen did not find Mai Raven immediately.

By asking the church elders, I learned that Mai had gone to a nearby city that belonged to the church to collect religious taxes.

After suffering several blows in succession, coupled with Zong Shen's exploitation, Jackdaw Valley became extremely poor.

That state city has a very poetic name, called the Land of Snowflakes.

It is almost more than a thousand kilometers away from Jackdaw Valley.

The distance was not too far, so Zong Shen simply rode [Hell Dark Nightmare·Hamis] and went there in person.

About an hour or so.

Hamis, who turned into a shuttle shadow, suddenly stopped moving at high speed.

The fully armored Zong riding on the huge Khamis looked like a child riding a merry-go-round.

"Master, we are here."

Khamis suspended in the sky, hazy clouds obscuring the view below.

Those clouds are pouring snow down below

Occasionally, through gaps in the clouds, you can see the city below.

The coverage of these snow clouds is quite large.

It’s no wonder that the city below is called the “Land of Snowflakes”.

Hearing Hamis's greeting, Zong Shen nodded casually.

"Then let's go down."

"Be careful to hide your body."

Zong Shen immediately ordered.

Hamis' body shook slightly, and the next moment he turned into a gray shadow and flew downwards.

After breaking through the clouds, cold wind and snowflakes hit us.

It's snowing down below.

But neither snowflakes nor cold wind can get close to me,

Invisible isolation keeps them out.

The Land of Snowflakes is not a big city.

The population is only a few hundred thousand.

In the northern border and the areas close to the northern border, the population of Bangcheng is almost the same.

The same is true when looking at the entire Endless Continent.

The population density is highest in the eastern region.

The south is next, the mountainous west is next, and the north is the least populated.

This is true for indicators such as the total population, the number of giant cities, the number of state cities, and the number of villages.

This difference is normal.

Because there are differences in environment and terrain in each region of the Endless Continent.

The annual output of a state with this population size is very limited.

In addition, the environment here is relatively harsh, and there are not many crops that can be grown.

The staple food is still highland barley, a crop that is more popular in cold areas, as well as icefield yak, thick-feathered chicken, etc.

Plus the fungi and small beasts in the frozen forest.

It can be regarded as a specialty of the north.

How much tax can such a state receive?

Zong Shen shook his head.

It's not easy for the Calamity Raven Church, so no wonder they have to take such a risk to attack the giant city of Lentax.

For thousands of years, we have relied on this three-acre land in and around Jackdaw Valley.

It is rare to take any action, and it consumes decades or even centuries of accumulation.

No wonder it can only be reduced to a second- or third-rate church force in the Endless Continent.

Zong Shen finally understood the suffering of the Calamity Raven Church.

But he would not give up exploiting the church.

Those who come out to mess around have to bear their own responsibility for good or bad.

This is nothing to sympathize with.

The lord itself is a competition, and the slightest carelessness will be the price of death.

Zong Shen has a deep understanding of this point.

Even now, he is taking every step step by step, trying to be as cautious as possible.

I'm afraid it will overturn inexplicably at some point.

No one can say for sure about this kind of thing. And he has not yet reached the stage of being truly invincible.

Snowflakes were falling, and the city below was completely covered in snow.

White is the main color that occupies the majority.

Those stone buildings outline some black lines.

Many roofs have snow-proof chimneys with "mushroom caps", and wisps of black smoke linger up.

The snow is so heavy today that there are few pedestrians, vehicles and horses below.

According to the positioning of the strategy module, Mai Raven is currently in the castle in Bangcheng.

It belonged to a viscount.

Nominally, this city belongs to the Kingdom of Vaegiya in the north, but in fact it is an independent existence.

The Land of Snowflakes does not pay taxes to the Kingdom of Vaegia, but it can freely travel to the giant cities of the Kingdom of Vaegia.

This is a very special area.

It seems that they don't care, but in fact they all agree that it belongs to the Calamity Raven Church.
