Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Chapter 202: Golden Trap, Giant Turret

Because in this room, there were two treasure chests.

One of the treasure chests was entirely made of fine gold. It was a gold treasure chest that Zong Shen had never seen before.

As for the other treasure chest, it is the silver treasure chest mentioned in the previous guide.

Obviously, the extra gold treasure chest in this dormitory is most likely a new treasure chest placed after the novice stage.

Silver treasure chests can basically produce the same rare items, so there is obviously a chance that gold treasure chests can produce orange legendary items.

However, if two treasure chests appear at the same time, there is a high probability that one of them will be a trap. The silver treasure chest has been warned by the guide and there should be no problem.

Then this other golden treasure chest that makes people's hearts beat faster is probably a trap treasure chest.

Zong Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and observed the golden treasure chest in front of him.

【Golden Treasure Chest】

[An unknown gold treasure chest, no one knows what can be found]

(Unfortunately, this golden treasure chest is a trap. There is a powerful lightning magic hidden inside, which can turn all places within a radius of 50 meters into scorched earth under lightning strikes)

Sure enough, this golden treasure chest is a trap.

This is also the first time Zong Shen has seen a golden treasure chest. It is a real high-end treasure chest, but it is actually a trap.

Fortunately, Zong Shen had already been mentally prepared in his heart, but after feeling a little pity in his heart, he accepted the reality and put away the trap treasure box.

Keep it for later use. Now he still has two trap treasure chests in his hand. One is the silver treasure chest with the sheep-transformation technique that he got from the abandoned dragon's nest on the island in the middle of the lake a few days ago.

The other one is this golden treasure chest with group thunder magic.

This kind of trap treasure chest can not only be used to deal with other lords, but also to deal with indigenous people and wild monsters. The magic or traps contained inside are extremely overbearing and can have unexpected effects.

Except for Zong Shen, who has the strategy, no one can accurately tell whether there are traps in the treasure chest, especially among the lords, no one can resist the temptation to open the treasure chest. The greed and luck in people's hearts are doomed to deal with this thing against the lords. It is definitely an all-conquering weapon.

Unfortunately, it was not a real gold treasure chest after all, which made Zong Shen a little disappointed. He put away the trap treasure chest, and Zong Shen turned his attention to the silver treasure chest.

【Silver Treasure Chest】

[An unknown silver treasure chest, no one knows what can be found]

(There is no problem with the treasure chest, you can open it with confidence)

There is indeed nothing wrong with this silver treasure chest.

Zong Shen rubbed his hands, trying to bring out some European energy.

Then he chose to open the silver treasure chest. The lid slowly opened, and several light groups emerged from the treasure box, including many purple and blue light groups.

[Silver treasure chest opened successfully]

[Level 4 giant turret construction drawing (purple) × 1]

[Celled Merlot wine (blue) × 3]

[Deep well construction drawings (blue) × 1]

[Level 3 City Lord’s Mansion Upgrade Voucher × 1]

[Wolf Rider Advanced Book (Blue) × 1]

There are five rewards in total. Except for wine, the rest are blueprints and books, as well as a wolf cavalry advancement book, which should be advanced props that the wolf cavalry can use.

The overall reward is quite satisfactory, which is quite good. The only regret is that there is no recruitment coupon.

Each recruitment roll represents a well-trained professional soldier, which is simpler and more convenient than building a barracks to train farmers yourself.

Due to the current restriction on the farmer population in the territory, Zong Shen has not built a barracks yet. The farmers in the territory are not even enough to work and collect, so there is no free population to train into soldiers.

What's more, training soldiers also requires providing them with equipment and consuming training books of corresponding levels and arms. To sum up, recruitment rolls are the most comfortable. Unfortunately, the sources and arms of recruitment rolls are not stable enough.

The recruitment rolls you can obtain have a great relationship with the current nearby environment and are random.

But something is better than nothing. One more soldier in the current territory is equal to one more strength.

In the early and middle stages of territorial development, armed soldiers were far more important than farmers. This was determined based on the needs of territorial development.

Zong Shen broke the treasure chest into 10 pieces of Mithril, then pocketed all the rewards and left the room.

When he came to the mine hall, as usual, he first started to check out the rewards that interested him.

[Construction drawings of the fourth-order giant turret (purple)]

[Quality: Rare and special human building]

[Requirements: Fourth-order giant turret construction drawing × 1]

[A complete building can be built without spending materials, please choose an area to place it]

[Construction time: 25 minutes]

[Occupy area: 50 square meters]

[Height: 30 meters]

[Range: 100 meters ~ 3500 meters]

[Weapon: Generation IV Giant Mana Rune Cannon]

[Explosion damage: 142~145]

[Explosion range: radius 30 meters]

[Interval: 20 seconds]

[Sturdiness value: 3500]

[Building Armor: 40]

[The bombardment will consume 150 points of mana]

[Off/On (automatic bombardment)]

[Magic energy: 0/60000]

[Skill: Quick reload lv5 (reduces the launch interval by five seconds, lasting 10 minutes, cooling time 4 hours)

Passive skill: Fire oil bomb (for every 12 rounds of ordinary artillery shells fired, one fire oil bomb can be fired, causing additional burning damage to the explosion range that lasts for 30 seconds)

Freezing bomb (for every 18 rounds of ordinary artillery shells fired, a freezing bomb can be fired, causing enemies within the explosion range to fall into a freezing state that lasts for 30 seconds, reducing movement speed and attack speed, and causing negative states such as coldness, trembling, etc.)

Gunner mode (Enter gunner mode, you can manually operate and attack designated targets, with a top-down observation perspective within a range of 100 meters to 3500 meters)]

[Note: Explosion damage does not distinguish between friend and foe]

(The powerful defense tower is derived from the crystallization of human magic technology and rune technology. In fact, apart from the goblins, the human race is one of the best races in developing magic weapons. The powerful magic rune cannon Can help the territory deal with large groups of enemies

During a fierce battle, it is best to use the gunner mode and manually screen targets to prevent the giant turret from accidentally damaging friendly soldiers and territorial buildings in the melee)

"Wow! This is great!"

Zong Shen's eyes suddenly had little stars. Now he wanted to turn his territory into a plain fortress full of defensive buildings.

Moreover, this giant turret is a group attack tower, which is perfect for dealing with the groups of cave monsters that are currently roaming in groups. It also has a gunner mode, which allows you to observe the situation within the shooting range with a bird's-eye view.

The most important thing is that this thing is a complete building, no materials are needed, and the construction time is very short. It is simply a waste of money.

To know that for a rare-level building, just gathering the materials required for construction is a big problem for the current lord.

A complete building can solve all problems at once. There is no need to worry about collecting materials. They can be used immediately after returning to the territory.

Compared with these advantages, the fact that the giant turret requires 150 mana points for each attack is not a big problem. As long as the automatic bombardment is turned off at ordinary times and the gunner mode is turned on during war, it is still very useful as a trump card for group attacks in the territory!

Next, he took out a bottle of wine that looked quite old.

[Cellared Merlot wine (blue)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effects: Attack damage +40%, maximum magic value increased by 100 points, defense -20%, movement speed -15%, duration 15 minutes]

(High-quality cellared wine, with first-class taste, deeply loved by Avalon nobles, and well-liked by the upper class)

A total of three bottles of wine were found in the treasure chest, and the quality was unexpectedly excellent.

The most exaggerated thing is that the attack damage bonus reaches 40%, at the cost of only reducing some movement speed and defense.

If used in a boss battle, it would definitely be a good thing that can increase combat effectiveness. These three bottles of wine cannot be left to the dwarf uncle. It will be a waste if he drinks it.

Zong Shen immediately decided to stock up on some good quality wine in the future. Drinking it before the battle can increase combat effectiveness.

Among the remaining props, there were either drawings or books. Zong Shen looked at them and put the drawings of the well together with the other architectural drawings he got today, leaving them to look at when he had time.

He did get a lot of blueprints in the mine today, and Zong Shen kept them all to review them when he returned to his territory.

Apart from the water well drawings, the remaining two items are somewhat interesting.

[Level 3 Lord’s Mansion Upgrade Voucher]

[After completing the territory expansion task and upgrading the territory to level two, you can use this certificate to upgrade the city lord's mansion to level 3 (it must be ensured that the city lord's mansion is in an undamaged state)]

(The third-level city lord's mansion will make your lord's courtyard more luxurious and keep moving towards the goal of becoming a lord lord)

Speaking of which, Zong Shen almost forgot about the territory upgrade.

Now that he saw the upgrade certificate for the Lord's Mansion, he remembered it.

Opening the rankings, I found that the first place was still Chen Xuan, who had reached level 4 territory.

His ranking has dropped to more than 300,000.

Because Zong Shen upgraded his territory relatively early, his ranking has always been at the top among territories of the same level.

Above him are almost all territories above level 2. It is obvious that after the development in the past few days, many players have risen strongly.

There are still about 25 days until the countdown to the rankings ends. For this wave of monthly rewards, Zong Shen still has to find a suitable time to upgrade his territory.

The monthly rewards on the ranking list are updated every month. Although the strong can easily become stronger, they also set an example for others to develop, and there are rewards for those ranked within 10,000 on the ranking list.

If some lords are lucky and there are no too powerful hostile targets in the range, they still have the opportunity to continuously upgrade their territory.

"Let you play for a while first."

"I'll have some fun with you when I'm free."

Zong Shen closed the ranking list and looked at the book in his hand.

[Wolf Rider Advanced Book (Blue]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Can be used on the second-tier wolf cavalry]

[Promote it to the third level of arms]

(The diligent Colby was finally able to advance)

This advanced book is just right for Colby.

Zong Shen has already seen that the level of the corresponding advancement book determines the level of advancement.

He grabbed the advanced book in his hand and called Colby who was carrying the corpse.

"Colby, come here!"
