Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Zong Shen is a little distracted now. After his little brother became rich, he was not so keen on the silver treasure chest.

His mentality has become much calmer. This trip to the mining area can be said to have made Zong Shen a lot of money.

After successfully killing the spider web monster group and obtaining a lot of equipment, he can do whatever he wants in this mining area and plunder the remaining resources and treasures to his heart's content.

He first came to the stone table. The crystal wine glass on the table was tilted here and there. It was obvious that the people who were sitting in this secret room for discussion eventually evacuated in a hurry.

There is also a crystal open-top wine bottle on the table. The wine in it has completely evaporated, leaving only some black residue.

Zong Shen conveniently collected these wine glasses and open wine bottles and handed them into Colby's hands. Although these wine glasses were not precious props, they were all beautifully shaped.

His territory seems to have everything now, but all the items are very rough, including tableware and other items. It is quite good to take these wine glasses back and clean them.

As a thrifty lord, he would not let go of anything he could take away.

As the saying goes, save one or two points to get married without wasting all resources. This is the essential quality of a qualified lord.

After putting away the wine glasses, Zong Shen looked at the pile of information and albums.

As soon as his hand touched it, the topmost information shattered like a wall.

The brittle collapse disintegrated into many fragments, and only one album remained.

This map is exactly Azshara's mining map. It is more detailed than the one left by Baron Bezos. It is definitely a top-secret mining map.

Because it has been specially processed, this map has not deteriorated. From the map, you can see the mining area extending in all directions below. Some of the branch roads even connect to the urban sewer network deep underground in Azshara, and extend to the mountains to the north. Next, Zong Shen knew that it would be connected to the mountain bunker built at the end of the war.

The notes on this map are very detailed, and it is definitely a confidential map, but it is of no use to Zong Shen. He needs everything, but he does not need a map. This thing can only wait until later and be handed over to the heroes who will be responsible for the mining area in the future. , used to provide some reference.

However, there is also some information here that is worth paying attention to. It marks the locations where some associated minerals are concentrated.

This is indeed a large-scale iron mine, and there are also a large number of high-energy associated mining areas and some scattered ores, including magic crystal, mithril, copper, fine gold, and a small amount of gemstone mining areas. This is a large-scale iron ore mine. of composite mineral veins.

The main ore is iron, supplemented by various high-energy associated ores, forming a composite mining area.

This place once provided various mineral raw materials for hundreds of thousands of troops in the United Kingdom of Elf.

It is also the largest iron ore area in Azshara, one of the three major elven cities in the United Kingdom. It is not only very close to the city, but also very convenient for mining.

In every sense, this mining area is the most important resource wealth in the area.

Therefore, Zong Shen listed this place as a part of his important strategic plan. In the future, he will definitely send a heroic figure to sit here.

As long as the mine is restored to production, it will be a hen that can lay golden eggs, and can continuously produce various minerals, which can not only meet the needs of territory development, but also be used as advantageous resources for trade.

Zong Shen now has the upper hand. When the strength of the lords in this area further increases, many lords will definitely discover this place. Therefore, Zong Shen is ready to build defenses here after the crypt challenge is over. Mining preparation.

He can use the loader mecha to ensure transportation and communication between the territory and the mine, and at the same time establish a regular patrol team to travel between the mine and the territory.

Mining requires sufficient labor force, so Zong Shen wants to recruit as many kobolds as possible, establish a team of kobold miners and send them to the mines for full-time quarrying and mining.

In addition to kobolds, you can also consider capturing some goblin slaves. There happens to be a goblin tribe nearby.

As for the farmers in the territory, they concentrate on farming, logging, and gathering hemp.

As a by-product of mining, there is no shortage of stone once the mine is opened.

This is Zong Shen's mining plan and an important part of the territory's future expansion strategy.

In this vast continent, all lords start out with nothing. In the early stage, seizing ruins and resources is more important than seizing territory.

Zong Shen has been preparing all these plans for a long time. Once the crypt challenge is over, they can begin to deploy and implement them in an orderly manner.

Let a little advantage quickly expand like a spark to start a prairie fire. This is the real charm of development and strategy.

Putting away the mining area map, Zong Shen walked towards the silver treasure chest.

This time he has opened several treasure chests during the mine exploration, and even encountered an extremely rare gold trap treasure chest. As expected, it is easier to find the treasure chest by exploring the ruins.

【Silver Treasure Chest】

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

As the guide suggests, this treasure chest is a normal treasure chest and can be opened with confidence.

[Silver treasure chest opened successfully]

[Teroka's Furious Bear Armor × 1]

[Iron Wall Skill Book×1]

[Intermediate Illusion Magic Crystal×1]

[Level 3 Digger Recruitment Volume × 2]

[Second-level Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Volume × 3]

[Book: "Cooking Manual" × 1]

This treasure chest directly revealed six rewards, including two recruitment scrolls.

A piece of rare equipment, a magic crystal, a skill book and a book called "Cooking Manual".

Generally speaking, Zong Shen's luck is very good this time, and these rewards appear just right.

He first collected the recruitment scrolls and did not choose to recruit immediately, because his own command value was almost reaching the upper limit, reaching 89/92, and was 3 points away from reaching the full value.

We have to wait until the territory is established and arrange some more control points from Vereesa, or wait until Mariel officially joins the territory tomorrow, so that there will be one more hero who can share the control points.

Although the growth rate of green-level heroes is not as good as that of purple-level heroes, as long as you help her upgrade as soon as possible and control the addition of attribute points and skill points, she can have a lot of control points.

In particular, Mariel is a hero suitable for logistics work, so she can be trained completely in accordance with the standards of the Chimei style and turned into a pure logistics and control hero.

For Mariel, Zong Shen only hoped that she could control the farmers in the territory.

He shook his head to get rid of those chaotic thoughts, and first took out the mighty-looking armor.

It happened that his web-patterned spider armor was penetrated by a big hole from the Calamity War Spear. Zong Shen originally wanted to modify the spider-web monster Queen's light armor to wear it, but now a rare armor was released. Someone from his clan wouldn't be polite.

[Teroka's Furious Bear Armor]

[Quality: rare grade]

[Body protection: 55]

[Magic Resistance: 25]

[Durability: 400]

[Required power: 35]

[Demand agility: 20]

[Skill: Summon violent bear warrior lv15

Violent bear mode lv10

Passive skill: Brutal Bear Power]

This piece of equipment can definitely be regarded as the best armor in the rare class. It not only has a high armor value but also has three skills. One of the skills is a passive gain skill, which not only increases the health value, but also increases the strength attribute.

This is the first time Zong Shen has seen passive effects that can increase attributes other than jewelry equipment.

Zong Shen directly took off the [Web Pattern Spider Armor] and put on this [Teroka Violent Bear Armor]

His strength attribute has become 51 points, and his health value has become 1078 points. After the addition of the devil's heart and strength attribute to the health value, this value is now basically not inferior to the average captain level of around level 20. A monster.

His body protection level has also been greatly improved. The defensive power of the Violent Bear Armor is far from being comparable to that of the sophisticated reticulated spider armor. If the spider web monster lord throws the calamity war spear at him again, will it be able to penetrate it? Through his armor, there are two theories.

After happily putting on the new equipment, Zong Shen took out the skill book again. He actually had no shortage of skills and methods now. The various skills attached to the equipment alone were enough for him to cope with most situations.

However, as the saying goes, having more skills does not overwhelm the body, and it is still beneficial to learn one more skill.

Zong Shen's motto has always been that to make iron, you need to be strong. Even if he has a large number of elite soldiers, he still insists on constantly strengthening himself. Now his strength can completely defeat the fourth-level soldiers without falling behind.

If you activate the demon transformation skill, you can directly defeat those fourth-level soldiers. This is a reflection of your strength.

He lowered his head and looked at the skill book in his hand. It was an excellent skill at least. It should be pretty good. Even if he didn't use it himself, he could still give it to his close soldiers.

[Iron Wall Skill Book]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Learning requirements: Strength\u003e20]

[After learning, you can master the skill: Iron Wall lv1]

[Iron Wall lv1: Entering the Iron Wall state, toughness increases by 5%, armor value increases by 10%, life limit increases by 5%, lasts for 30 seconds, cooling time is 2 hours]

【】

This is a passive defense gain skill, but I didn't expect that the guide highly praised it. Zong Shen felt that it was most likely because the iron wall could increase toughness.

The higher the toughness, the higher the resistance to negative status, which can reduce the duration of negative status.

There is currently no upper limit for skill mastery, so Zong Shen naturally wouldn't mind learning one more skill.

With a clap of his hand, the skill book in his hand turned into a white light and sank into the sky spirit. Some information poured into his mind, and he mastered the iron wall skill!
