Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

In terms of micro-management in battle, Zong, who has information advantage, is absolutely superior.

He knows all kinds of battlefield data.

Therefore, he can make accurate judgments and calculate the best attack plan,

which is the case at this moment.

After the light column is subjected to negative electrode erosion and space division, Gugat's shoulder cannon can effectively shake the damaged core.

As the light column swayed, it gradually became faint.

Until the seventh shoulder cannon hit, the entire light column suddenly shook, and then slowly disappeared.

The magnificent and tall Marquis Castle finally appeared.

Zong Shen took the opportunity to release the [Sand Stagnation] state.

The time stop lasted for more than two hundred seconds, and there were more than three hundred points of time energy left.

Next, the [Time Energy Hourglass] still has a chance to come in handy.

Needless to say, the power of time-related wonders can be of great use as long as they are properly used.

When the time stop is lifted, the matter resumes movement.

The ripples of time spread out silently. At this moment, it seemed as if nothing had happened, and it seemed as if many things had happened.

The core light column was destroyed, and the magic circle here could no longer maintain operation.

Whether it was the sky or the ground, the phantom of the magic circle flickered at a high frequency, like a light bulb with unstable current.

The speed of rotation was also fast and slow, losing the previous smoothness and harmony.

Then, the ground began to tremble violently.

The shaking feeling comparable to an 8-magnitude earthquake made everything standing on the ground shake.

Even the huge and magnificent Marquis Castle was no exception.

The history of the Clift family itself can be traced back to the beginning of the founding of the kingdom.

However, the establishment of the giant city of Dagalisni has only been more than two thousand years.

Rather than saying that this is the fief of the Clift family.

It is better to say that it is a place of exile.

Or it is an opportunity given to the Clift family by the royal family.

It seems that there is not enough foundation, but in fact there is enough foundation.

This is the current situation of the Clift family.

It is also the responsibility and burden on the shoulders of Marquis Ekmeledin.

As the castle shook, Marquis Ekmeledin inside was confused.

The change of time ended quietly, making him a little dazed.

Who would have thought that the light column was destroyed in just a moment.

The core magic circle in the entire area was in an extremely unstable state.

As a result, the blood reception ceremony he was conducting was also greatly affected.

The ritual magic circle that included him was in a stagnant state.

So much so that he even heard the sound of cracking.

That was the collapse of the magic circle nodes that had been laid out in advance.

The gap that was pried open in the ban was re-closed.

But this is not the point.

If the blood reception ceremony combined with the ancestral token is the legal key to open the seal.

Then Zong Shen's behavior is directly prying the door.

The problem is that he pried the door when the marquis was about to open the door.

This gave the forbidden land a sign of being out of control.

The magic circle in the core area has not yet completely collapsed. Although the shadows of the magic circles above and below are a little disordered, they have not disintegrated and disappeared.

Instead, something strange gradually appeared in the sky.

Black clouds gathered in large groups.

They were surging like the sea surface blown by the wind.

One group after another, one cluster after another.

Under the sky, the clouds rolled and unrolled.

It looked particularly depressing!

After surging for a while, these gathered black clouds gathered around and spun.

Finally, a vortex was formed in the sky.

And the center of this vortex happened to be facing the castle.

Marquis Ekmeledin's face was pale.

The ancestral token in his hand suddenly broke, turning into countless crystal fragments and disintegrating.

"It's over!"

"This madman actually defeated the magic circle of the forbidden land!"

"I originally just wanted to pry open a gap and recruit one of the forbidden monsters to deal with him..."

"Damn it, when the magic circle completely collapses, the entrance to the Demon Abyss will also be completely open!"

His voice was full of fear.

He couldn't help but fall to the ground, looking like he had lost all his fighting spirit.

This is his trump card, and it is also the secret that the Clift family has guarded for more than two thousand years.

The Devil's Abyss Prison is the place where some monsters suppressed since the founding of Avalon are imprisoned.

The monsters in it are at least legendary, and the highest are demigods.

Ekmeledin doesn't know why the ancestors and King Arthur and other powerful founders of the country didn't kill them completely.

I think there must be a deeper reason hidden in it.

With the tokens left by the ancestors and the magic circle that almost never has omissions.

Over the years, the descendants of the Clift family have always regarded it as a trump card to protect the family.

Only a specific blood ritual and the ancestral token can be used to open a crack in the Devil's Abyss Prison and release demigod-level monsters.

And it can be given simple commands.

When the magic circle is complete, those powerful monsters cannot escape or resist.

This is also the reason why the giant city of Dagalisni will turn its external defense into internal defense.

Sure enough, behind every abnormal setting, there must be a more abnormal fact.

Just when Marquis Ekmeledin was complaining about himself.

Zong Shen also noticed the changes here.

The magic circle here is indeed difficult to crack. If it weren't for his [Negative Magic Fluid] that can corrode everything in the main material world, it would probably not be so easy to break.

Not to mention that he has the help of Shi Ting.

If it weren't for the time stop, it would be difficult for him to freely splash [Negative Magic Liquid].

The magic circle itself has multiple countermeasures.

Strictly speaking, this is not a place that can be broken by one or two demigod-level strongmen.

This also made Zong Shen a little depressed.

I really didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary Dagalisni Giant City is actually a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons are.

Compared with here, the Luntax Giant City is a more normal city.

This also reminded Zong Shen.

The indigenous people of the Endless Continent have a deep foundation, and they may encounter some tough guys.

Sometimes a seemingly ordinary city may hide some unknown secrets.

This is also what Zong needs to pay attention to.

As the magic circle showed a trend of collapse, the black box area that was originally shrouded here also dissipated.

This allows Zong Shen to clearly perceive the changes in the surrounding space.

Various chaotic space fluctuations are brewing.

This place seems to have become the intersection of the void storm.

Become dangerous and suspicious!

"Guget, go and capture Marquis Ekmeledin alive."

Zong Shen did not hesitate and immediately pointed to a window somewhere in the castle.

After receiving the order, Guget kicked off with one leg and flew into the air, with flames spraying out from the back of the armor.

Zong Shen kept floating in the air, holding the [Space Cutting Cube] in his hand and ready to divide the space at any time.

In the absence of information, it is the right answer to maintain a good attitude and do less and watch more.

Zong agreed with this.

He observed the changes on the scene calmly.

After preparing to capture the Marquis, he would stop the battle in the first circle.

Then he could slowly deal with what happened in the core circle.

Although Zong Shen did not know what kind of ghost thing was sealed here.

But judging from the strength of the magic circle and the various arrangements, it must not be a good thing.

It is a blessing, not a disaster, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.

The most urgent task is to take down Marquis Ekmeledin first.

Maybe the truth can be asked from him.

Not long after, Gugat, who had flown into the castle earlier, returned to the side of the Marquis, who was weak.

"My Lord Marquis, I think you should order the garrison to surrender now."

Zong Shen said to Marquis Ekmeledin calmly, without any joking in his tone.

At this point, it is meaningless to continue fighting.

As for the subsequent changes in the core area, no matter how big the flood is in the future, we must first take care of the present.

The collapse of the magic circle is a slow process.

The situation will not become bad immediately.

Zong Shen's words made Marquis Ekmeledin raise his head slightly and take a look.

His eyes were dull, and there was despair in his eyes.

"It's over, it's too late!"

"The forbidden magic circle that suppresses the Demon Abyss Prison is completely damaged, which is irreversible..."

"Unless there is a demigod who is proficient in the arrangement of magic circles."

Marquis Ekmeledin said anxiously, which made Zong Shen think.

"The Demon Abyss Prison?" Zong Shen asked back.

The Marquis nodded solemnly: "Yes, those evil monsters are imprisoned here."

Then he seemed to feel that this was not formal enough, so he added: "From the beginning of the establishment of the Kingdom of Avalon to two years ago, some of the monsters that were taken in by the kingdom's strongmen were imprisoned here."

Zong Shen suddenly realized everything.

This is not a place of house arrest at all, but a place of atonement!

The Clift family is the watchdog.

It's just that after two thousand years, a city was created here.

After all, this place was the Demon Abyss Prison first and then the Dagalisni Giant City.

This can also explain why the defense arrangement of this city is so strange.

The attack in the first circle is enough to explain everything.

Whether it is the tower defense line or the fortress, all the defensive buildings are mainly for internal use.

"At this point, you have no choice."

"For this city, surrender."

At this time, Zong Shen and Gugat stood on the edge of the core circle.

More than 300,000 soldiers under his command have poured out of the small dimension world.

This made the battle lines of both sides very complicated.

The garrison was defeated one after another, with more than 100,000 casualties.

Zong Shen also had more than 20,000 casualties here, because the closer to the first circle of tower defenses, the greater the casualties of the attack.

The geographical advantage can make up for the gap in troops and military formations to a certain extent.

"It can only be this way..." Marquis Ekmeledin looked grim and nodded reluctantly.

Zong Shen waved to Gugat after hearing this, and the latter immediately took the marquis to the first circle of the battle line.

As long as the marquis publicly announced his surrender, the hostility between the garrison and his own soldiers could be stopped.

As for here...

With his thoughts flowing, Zong Shen turned around and looked back at the turbulent core area.

At this time, it was a mess, and a huge gap appeared in the ground.

There was a halo radiating from the surface of the castle, which was the protective inscription of the building itself.

Because the marquis's castle itself is also a solid defensive building.

In the case of the earthquake, the castle appeared obviously crooked.

But even so, it still did not collapse, and it was as strong as a whole.

An inexplicable gust of wind was surging.

The black cloud vortex gathering in the sky was also spinning faster.

There were faint traces of tearing on the spatial boundary of the core area.

Like the stretch marks left on the belly of a pregnant woman after giving birth.

They spread in a clear and distinct way, not more or less.

The strange whistling sound has not stopped since just now.

Everyone knows that the changes here are not simple.

There is a golden light flashing in Zong Shen's mind, and the strategy module is feeding back the information he needs.

(It is estimated that there are 7 hours, 23 minutes and 19 seconds before the magic circle completely collapses)

...

Combined with the known information, the strategy module can already feedback the progress of the magic circle's collapse.

Zong Shen still has 7 hours to solve the problem of the Demon Abyss Prison.

The time is still quite tight.

But it should be in time.

After a little thought, Zong Shen retracted his gaze.

As I said, he never regrets or recalls what has happened.

Since the trouble has arisen, just think about how to solve it.

Turning his eyes back to the back, he can see that Marquis Ekmeledin is giving a speech-style surrender.

The two armies are barely separated, and the battle finally stopped.

The shouts of fighting also disappeared.

After leaving the place, Zong Shen used the connection of guardian to give Gugat an obscure order.

After the speech, he would bring Marquis Ekmeledin to see him.

He returned to the place where the arena was originally located.

It had been razed to the ground long ago, and the hard stone floor was blown away.

The huge smoking pit and the soil wrapped with corpses and flesh and blood became the most eye-catching scene here.

After the battle stopped, the next step was to let Marquis Ekmeledin pledge allegiance to him as the ruler of the giant city, so that the corresponding authority mechanism could be triggered.

He took over the entire Dagalisni giant city.

He also completed the work of governing the people of the entire giant city.

Only after this matter was settled could he focus on dealing with the situation of the Demon Abyss Prison.

Since the Demon Abyss Prison existed here, and the forbidden magic circle was destroyed.

Then Dagalisni was not suitable to be a settlement in theory.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

If Zong Shen can properly solve the problem of the Demon Abyss Prison.

Then it is no problem to maintain the current status of the Dagalisni Giant City.

The territory can currently accommodate 30 to 40 million people.

This is the goal set by Zong Shen before.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it accommodates more.

It is no problem to swallow the population of the Dagalisni Giant City.

The total population of Dagalisni itself is not large, but there are more high-level troops.

This has a lot to do with the private militaristic strategy of Marquis Ekmeledin.

However, it is difficult to transfer tens of millions of people in just seven hours.

Even if Zong Shen has a small dimensional world to rely on.

Roughly estimated, if everything goes well, it will take a whole day to transfer 20 million people.

In seven hours, at most, only 6 to 7 million people can be quickly transferred.

Frowning slightly, he simply sat cross-legged on the spot.

As the head of the contemporary Clift family, Marquis Ekmeledin should know some inside information.

Zong Shen is waiting for his arrival!
