Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The blade light from [Moonlight] is incredibly powerful.

Of course, as a heritage weapon, its power comes from its owner.

The [Strength] attribute added by Zong Shen is the source of the surge in the power of [Moonlight].

After all the moonlight dissipated, the scene seemed to be blown by a level 18 hurricane.

There were gaps on the ground that was originally protected by the magic circle.

The blade light repelled the soil and rocks, and also destroyed the coordination of the magic circle.

This caused the rotation of the light and shadow of the magic circle below to slow down a little.

Although it did not affect its continued operation, it still caused some subtle changes in the scene.

This change is difficult to describe in words.

It's like a few iron filings stuck in a gear box.

It's no longer as smooth and silky as before.

The skill [Moonlight] is one of the passive effects attached to the heritage weapon [Moon Wolf Fang].

Its rogueness lies in the 1.2 times attack bonus and unreasonable attack speed.

As long as Zong Shen swings fast enough, it can continue to emit blade light.

With such a strong damage value, he can deal explosive damage in a short time.

In just a moment, Zong Shen swung out more than ten blade lights.

In addition to the attack on Ya and others, the remaining blade lights were all shot everywhere, and finally caused millions of points of damage to the magic circle.

Such a total amount of damage exceeded the recovery threshold of the magic circle.

This caused the magic circle to stagnate for a short time.

At this time, from Zong Shen's perspective, the solidity value of the magic circle was recovering at full speed.

The speed is quite impressive.

On average, tens of thousands of solidity points can be recovered per second.

Zong Shen, who is well versed in the principles of magic shields and magic energy shields, knows that such recovery is not without reason.

They often need to consume the reserved magic energy or magic power.

Therefore, the stronger the recovery effect, the higher its consumption.

Although this layer of turtle shell is not easy to smash, if Zong Shen really moves, everything is just a matter of time.

After seeing the attack touch the threshold of this large magic circle, Zong Shen knew it in his mind.

The siege "dilemma" he faced was also solved in an instant.

Among the five legendary masters who surrounded him, only Zong was able to stand.

The other four people suffered varying degrees of limb injuries.

Zong Shen raised his hand and sucked them into the small dimension world, where there were millions of troops waiting, as well as other legendary masters on standby and the demigod Gugat.

The four disabled legends were taken in and could not make any waves.

It would not be too late to treat them after the subsequent capture.

Anyway, for Zong Shen now, conventional limb injuries are easy to solve.

However, the broken arm of the one-winged bird Vijay should not be so easy to recover, and some limb injuries are very special.

Affected by the annihilation caused by the curse or toxin.

Even the strong healing effect may not be able to recover.

Otherwise, with the identity of the one-winged bird Vijay and the wealth in his hands, he would have restored his broken arm as before, and would not have dragged it until now. He even got the nickname "one-winged bird" because of his one-armed feature.

Zong Shen was too lazy to explore the specific reasons for the time being.

There would be plenty of time to study after the Dagalisni Giant City was completely conquered.

He quickly retracted his sight and shifted his gaze to [Parricide·Ya] not far ahead.

The broken ice wall near her completely turned into a frozen ruin.

In front of Ya was a light shield made of two colors of light intertwined and fused.

The light shield was full of cracks.

From the lord's perspective, the light shield's solidity value of up to one million points was now only a few hundred points.

She was horrified and finally realized that she had greatly underestimated this opponent.

The battle intuition that had given a warning before was the truth!

The man in front of him was terribly strong!

He already had power that was infinitely close to that of a demigod!

Zong Shen tilted his head slightly, and the eyes in the helmet looked at her calmly.

To be precise, he looked at her and the double swords of [Life and Death] and [Death and Farewell] in her hands.

"Pah!"

A crisp sound like raindrops falling to the ground appeared.

The shield formed by light and shadow shattered on the spot.

Under the influence of [Possession of the Overlord of Strength], Zong, whose height exceeded three and a half meters, tilted his head slightly.

He immediately raised the [Moon Wolf Fang] in his hand.

The sharp blade glowed with a chilling halo.

"What's wrong, are you scared?"

Zong Shen asked with interest.

Logically, [Parricide·Ya]'s emotions have long been trained to be extremely tough.

Especially in the current state, such psychological factors as fear and worry should not exist.

But she showed obvious awe.

"Do you think I'm a lunatic?"

Zong Shen's words made her calm down, and she had extra energy to ask back.

But Zong smiled faintly.

"How can the famous Parricide be afraid?"

"After all, you and your mercenary group have always been known for fearlessness."

With the strategy module, these ready-made materials are easy to come by.

Zong Shen can naturally pretend to know her well.

What he said was not a secret, but semi-public information in the mercenary circle.

"It seems that you have some misunderstandings about me."

"But you should understand that you should not try to understand a person through rumors."

"My emotions still exist, I just closed them off."

"When necessary, they will still appear on their own initiative."

"Since you said that I showed a fearful expression, it means that you are an opponent that I cannot fight against."

As [Parricide·Ya] said this, the black and red lines on her face, which occupied half of each other, quickly faded.

Her long and short double swords returned to their sheaths, and she took out the gentleman's hat and put it on her head like a magic trick.

Then she stopped looking at Zong Shen, looked around at the castle behind and shouted loudly.

"I'm sorry, Marquis, the Parricide Mercenary Group is going to breach the contract."

"According to the contract, I will send someone to deliver the penalty within the next ten days."

After saying this, she nodded slightly to Zong Shen and prepared to leave here.

But she had just taken a few steps when she was stopped by Zong Shen.

"Don't leave in a hurry."

This sentence made Ya's body tense.

Like a prey being stared at by a beast.

"I can help you improve your strength."

"Maybe there is a way to solve the negative effects of your curse."

"Think about it, everything you have endured for so many years..."

Zong Shen's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a simple matter.

At this time, Ya slowly turned around.

The two of them actually talked here without paying attention.

Even the burrowing beasts and Colby who were fighting not far away stopped their actions.

The garrison troops surrounding them seemed to have received some kind of order and stopped attacking at the same time.

Zong Shen and Ya were the strongest fighting forces on the scene.

When the two of them burst out, they could exert fighting power beyond the general legendary high-level strongmen.

So it is understandable that such a tacit understanding would occur.

Marquis Ekmeledin would not be so reckless as to rashly include Ya in the target of attack before clarifying the situation.

Stopping now is the inevitable result of seeking benefits and avoiding harm.

Many things are actually like this. Whoever is strong can become the real center point.

Marquis Ekmeledin, who noticed something was wrong, was mobilizing the magic circle, trying to listen to the conversation between the two, and at the same time urging other garrison officers to hurry up and mobilize the army.

It takes time to switch from external defense to internal defense.

With the backup left by his ancestors, he believed that even if the opponent's combat power far exceeded that of ordinary legendary high-level strongmen, he would eventually be subdued or even killed.

The attention of everyone present shifted to Zong Shen and Ya.

Looking around, Zong Shen waved and snapped his fingers.

Immediately, a cloud of mist quickly dispersed.

This cloud of mist was very thick, and it spread evenly, covering the entire magic circle in a short time.

It occupied every inch of the corner like cotton stuffed in a round pillow.

The most important thing is that this cloud of mist has the effect of magic shielding.

The mist itself is very active and has been rolling all the time.

But after it appeared, the operation of the magic circle became more obscure and difficult.

It no longer looks like a stuck gear, but a rusted gearbox.

At the same time, wherever the fog was, all the magic elements retreated like a tide.

The two cannot coexist, either you or me.

These fogs not only isolate the magic power, but also isolate the peeping effect of the magic circle.

It is a very simple and effective means of preventing peeping and eavesdropping.

At least it made the distant Marquis Ekmeledin completely lose his insight into the two.

"What's going on?"

"I can't hear their voices. These fogs can actually block the magic circle designed by the ancestors..."

The Marquis did notice the changes at the first time.

Originally, he was very confident in the magic circle left by his ancestors.

Now he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

The originally confident and calm heart became a little uneasy.

These changes were too fast. From the appearance of the burrowing beast to the current fog, it was only a few minutes.

Zong didn't care about what he did from beginning to end.

It was like he was doing what he wanted to do by himself, not affected by any external factors.

This feeling even made Marquis Ekmeledin feel funny.

It seems that he has really been ignored...

Take a deep breath, and look at the token with the name of his ancestor again with struggling eyes.

He hesitated and wondered whether he should go that far.

…

The center of the fog.

Ya felt the change of the magic power around her.

Everything she could see was filled with white.

The only relatively clear place was the area between her and Zong Shen.

This seemed to be a place specially prepared for her to talk.

Zong Shen looked at the changes around him with satisfaction. He used [Lively Mist (Unknown)] for the first time, but he didn't expect its effect to be unexpectedly good.

You have to know that his current location is near the center of the large magic circle.

This is the place where the magic circle is most powerful.

But [Lively Mist (Unknown)] can still take full effect.

It is indeed an item of [Unknown] level, and it is indeed unambiguous in terms of its effectiveness.

Zong Shen smiled and glanced at the swirling fog next to him.

The familiar golden subtitles appeared, allowing him to review the specific information of this thing.

[Lively Fog (Unknown)]

[Quality: Unknown]

[A lively mist, if you fully expand it, it can spread to a radius of ten kilometers around it]

[The mist can block any form of magic perception. It is extremely lively and has a certain resistance to the magic applied to it.

Each time it is expanded, it can last up to 4 hours, and then it needs to remain in a shrunk state for at least 12 hours]

[Both expansion and shrinking require chanting spells, the relevant spells are as follows]

[Expand spell:...]

[Shrink spell:...]

...

Zong Shen did not expand the mist to the maximum range.

These mists are well restrained within the influence range of the magic circle.

In fact, its main functions are two points, prohibiting magic and shielding magic perception.

It is equivalent to creating a black box area in the expansion area that cannot be affected by magic.

No longer paying attention to these mists, he looked at [Parricide·Ya] standing in front.

"Well, now we can have a good talk."

"I know you can improve your strength by enduring pain or extreme emotional fluctuations, but there is a bottleneck in this improvement..."

Before Zong Shen finished speaking, Ya's expression became a little surprised.

She was really curious about how the man in front of her knew this secret.

Many people have heard of the name of the parricide.

But she swore that she had never told anyone the details.

This alone was enough to surprise her.

Zong Shen knew her very well.

But she knew nothing about Zong Shen.

"How did you know about this?"

"Does your Excellency have a way to break this bottleneck?"

Her red lips moved slightly, and she asked seriously.

In fact, Ya had two obsessions. The first was the regret about parricide.

The second was the pursuit of power.

Her father was the leader of a large mercenary group.

Her wish was to create the most powerful mercenary group in Avalon.

After she killed her parents, this wish fell on her shoulders. As for the reason for the parricide, it involved another more secretive thing.

At this time, Zong Shen didn't want to mention it. He just had to grasp the weakness of [Parricide·Ya] first.

As long as he could reach a consensus with him, it would be too late to consider these details of tracing the source later.

Her tentative words made Zong Shen smile.

"Of course, to show my sincerity, I can let you experience it once first."

Zong Shen smiled and put away the [Dagger of Opening the Sky], and a purple-black ball of light replaced it in his palm.

This ball of light looked very small in the enlarged palm.

But as soon as she took it out, Ya couldn't take her eyes off it.

Her perception was extremely sharp, and she could feel some extreme suffering from the ball of light.

"Do you want to experience extreme pain?"

Zong Shen's voice was a little bewitching, more like a curious experimenter.

Ya's lips stammered, and finally she just nodded in a daze.

Her intuition told her that this thing could really trigger the curse effect, making her stronger.

Without saying much, Zong Shen slowly pushed out the ball of light in his hand.

...
