Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

This is also one of the previous agreements and arrangements.

As for why Zong Shen was so relieved to leave it to Jiang Yi to take care of it.

The reason is also very simple. Now the legion is basically in a state of poverty.

Zong Shen does not plan to lead the army, but only intends to be a mascot for the time being.

Then many development matters fall on Jiang Yi. When the legion really develops, Jiang Yi will really contribute and be able to take on the position of deputy legion commander, so Zong Shen is basically guaranteed to make money. .

When the legion develops, everyone will be prosperous. If it fails to develop, then everyone will attack together.

Zong Shen only needs to give him rights and trust, and there is no need to worry about Jiang Yi being unmotivated or disloyal. The sense of belonging to the legion that he developed by himself is fundamentally different from the sense of belonging to other legions.

As the second member, Jiang Yi is also the deputy commander of the legion, and is equivalent to half of the founder of the legion. These are the reasons why Zong Shen is willing to trust Jiang Yi.

They were just like a rope to pull Jiang Yi onto the pirate ship. With interests and status as motivation, there was no need to worry that Jiang Yi would not work hard to develop the army.

Both sides get what they need. Zong Shen needs Jiang Yi's energy to manage the legion, and her social skills to invite legion members to join. Zong Shen himself will provide military support and can still focus on exploration and development without affecting to develop their own strength.

After completing the preliminary appointment of the legion, Zong Shen opened the [Legion Upgrade Conditions] and prepared to try it out first to see how difficult it would be to upgrade the legion.

[Legion upgrade requirements: members ≥ 100

The total reputation of the legion is ≥10000

The total level of legion member soldiers is ≥ 2500

Iron×1000

Copper×300

Mithril×80

Primary element crystal ×100

Primary Mana Crystal ×100]

Zong Shen silently closed the [Legion Upgrade Conditions]. From the current perspective, the difficulty of this condition is not low. Those resource requirements are pretty good, and it is rare to meet the first few.

Just the first condition of members ≥ 100 requires good management. One hundred members are not so easy to invite. As the territory expands, the territory overlap between lords will become more and more. This is also a potential flashpoint for conflict.

There are also requirements for the total reputation and the total number of soldiers. It can be imagined that upgrading the legion must be a hard-working process. Only when the legion is managed to a certain strength can you be qualified to upgrade the legion level.

Zong Shen checked it out and had a rough idea, so he closed the [Legion] function and opened a private chat to prepare to communicate with Jiang Yi again.

He opened [Private Chat] and selected [Friends Private Chat]. As soon as he opened it, Jiang Yi's chat box popped up. Zong Shen was dazzled by the dozens of unread messages in it.

Jiang Yi was even more anxious and excited than herself. Not only did she send many messages of greetings, but she also asked many questions about the development of the legion.

Zong Shen answered one by one, asking Jiang Yi to recruit people first, but those with power should not be appointed casually, they must obtain his permission.

At this stage, it’s just about finding people and finding people again. As for character, combat power, and other details like this, it’s not too late to pick and choose them later. Take the best and discard the dross!

First, increase the number of people and win the title of the first legion in the region. This will be of great benefit to future development and will be a deterrent to other legions in the same region.

After the two communicated for a while, Zong Shen looked at the time and took the initiative to end the topic.

He encouraged Jiang Yi and told Jiang Yi to develop the territory well, and then closed all pages.

He exhaled a heavy breath and looked at the exploration team who were resting outside the small courtyard and waiting for Zong Shen's instructions.

A series of things made his head still buzzing. Being a lord is not easy!

He closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, and calmed down his thoughts. After feeling better, he opened his eyes and clapped his hands to the soldiers of the exploration team.

"Assemble!"

"We have an exploration mission at noon!"

"Then rush to the location where the Calamity Raven Church stores those secret supplies!"

"We will set off in a moment on the loader mecha and arrive before noon."

"There may not be a need to fight, but don't let your guard down."

Zong Shen began to announce the gathering, and the members of the exploration team stood up one by one and quickly lined up in front of him. He immediately began to explain today's mission.

After everything was explained, Zong Shen took out two load-bearing mechas and asked Favid to drive one, while he drove the other. Except for Luna, everyone else got into the back of the two load-bearing mechas. In the warehouse.

This time Zong Shen did not bring an additional team of wolf riders, but if they went to the secret supply point, the exploration team should be enough to deal with the possible guardians.

After all, as a secret material point, focusing on the word secret, it is impossible for the Calamity Raven Church to arrange heavy troops to guard it. At most, there will only be one or two church elites. With the combat power of Zong Shen and the exploration team, they can deal with it. It’s definitely more than enough to get up!

After everything was ready, Zong Shen let the strategy module start to enter the navigation state, and drove the loader mecha to head out of the territory first. The navigation position pointed to the northeast. Seeing this direction, Zong Shen subconsciously shivered. .

The location pointed in this direction seems to be near the mine, but the mine has not been discovered.

However, judging from the distance, he should not be at the mine, because it is at least fifty kilometers away from the mine to the territory, so he concluded that this location is probably near the ruins of Azshara's city wall.

While driving the loader mecha, Zong Shen estimated the approximate location of the secret material point. Behind him, Favid also drove the loader mecha and followed Zong Shen closely.

Luna rode a black panther and paraded repeatedly on both sides of the team. She followed this direction until she left the territory two or three kilometers away before she saw the group of cave monsters.

Zong Shen directly drove the loader mecha to collide and crush them. The two loader mechas collided and crushed each other. Luna then used the moon blade to hit the target, and a group of hundreds of monsters could be eliminated in a few minutes. .

If they encountered groups of small monsters along the way, they would directly eliminate them. If they encountered large groups of monsters, they would use demonic threats to disperse them or simply take a detour. It took about an hour and ten minutes for Zong Shen to arrive at the planned location for the guide.

This is the ruins of Azshara's city wall. There may be some secret spaces hidden under the spacious city wall ruins.

The interior of this kind of giant city wall is basically empty. It is both a city wall and a tower. Ordnance rooms, rest rooms, and backup warehouses are often built inside to give the city wall the ability to fight for a long time.

Although the city wall has been destroyed, there should be un-destroyed compartments in the underground part of the ruins. These are good places to store secret materials.

Zong Shen stopped the loader mecha next to the ruins, organized the entire team, put away the two loader mechas, held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and walked towards the ruins first. The ruins of this section of the city wall stretched for several kilometers.

The entire ruins are not very flat. Part of the wall still retains a height of five to six meters. Some parts have sunk and collapsed under the ground, while another part is almost flush with the ground.

The navigation was pointing to a section where a five- to six-meter-high wall still remained, and one had to climb up from the collapse on the side.

After years and wars, the entire wall looks very old and mottled. There are many pits on the wall. Occasionally, you can see a small section of relatively complete rune marks engraved on it, as if to tell the tragedy of that year.

When Zong Shen led the exploration team to climb this section of the city wall, he discovered that there was another mystery on it.

In the fault of the city wall, there is a large hole simply covered by wooden boards.

He lifted the wooden board, revealing a cubicle under the hole.

There is a door in the compartment, which obviously leads to the inside of the city wall. It was part of the city tower back then.

The entire city wall is actually a huge building, extending in all directions inside, with a large number of functional compartments built. Some of the compartments are still preserved in this section of the city wall.

Zong Shen took out a [Magic Flashlight], turned on the second brightness, and jumped directly into the hole.

After entering the compartment, you can see that the entire room is covered with thick mud and dust, and only a path from the cave entrance to the door has been artificially cleared.

Zong Shen didn't waste much time and directly opened the door of the compartment. Outside the door was a dark and narrow corridor. This kind of corridor built inside the tower was really not spacious.

However, the walkway was relatively clean, without too much mud and dust. It was obvious that it was relatively closed most of the time. In the compartments behind them, soldiers also entered the compartments one after another.

Following the arrow's guidance, the target was not far in front of the corridor. Under the illumination of the [Magic Flashlight], the entire corridor looked shadowy, with the soldiers following him behind him.

Moving forward, we soon reached the end, where there was also a slightly decayed iron gate.

Originally, this iron gate was also a rune gate, but it was forcibly destroyed. Now it is only ajar and can be opened with a gentle push.

The navigation arrow points here, and behind the door should be the secret material storage point of the Calamity Raven Church.

Zong Shen waved his hand, pointed at the gate, and stepped aside to make way.

Let a dragon-turned-gun-and-shield warrior stand in front. The aisle is too narrow. In this case, it is more appropriate to have a shield warrior stand in front.

Under Zong Shen's instructions, the gun and shield warriors in the front row kicked open the door and then quickly advanced.

Behind the gate is a very spacious compartment, which should be a warehouse set up in the city tower.

Everyone, including Zong Shen, quickly entered inside. Only by gathering together can they form a fighting force.

Zong Shen directly adjusted the [Magic Flashlight] in his hand to the third level, instantly lighting up the entire warehouse

The area of ​​this warehouse is quite large among the towers. It is rectangular in shape and covers several hundred square meters.

To Zong Shen's surprise, there was no one guarding the place at all. There were only fifty or sixty boxes of baggage piled against one side of the wall.

I don’t know whether the Calamity Raven Church is too cautious or is too confident about this secret stronghold, but there is no guard at all. It’s too big-hearted!

"Is there any trap here?"

(There are no traps here. As a secret stronghold, supplies are secondary and secrets are primary. Too frequent personnel comings and goings is the biggest flaw. The most important point is that people from the Calamity Raven Church don’t think the location is at all. The location will be leaked)

After reading the guide tips, Zong Shen felt relieved and began to look at the luggage boxes with peace of mind.

He casually opened the cover of a baggage box, and inside were small sealed wooden barrels. Zong Shen opened the barrels and found round wheat scones stacked inside. It seemed that these were their military rations. .

The scones look dry and tough, kind of like pancakes, with some yellow wheat bran mixed in on the surface, just like the coarse grain pancakes on Earth.

【Crude wheat scones】

[Restore hunger and satiety by 50 points]

[Storage period: 210 days]

Each wooden barrel contains 30 wheat scones, and there are ten wooden barrels in a baggage box. These wooden barrels, like the wine barrels, are relatively sealed, and the lids of the barrels are sealed with a layer of wax. There are many types of barrels. The canned feeling is also to increase the storage life of wheat scones.

There are a total of 15 boxes of this kind of baggage box containing scones, which means there are 4,500 servings of scones. As a staple food, these are good. The hunger and fullness level is very high, but it is estimated that eating too much may make it difficult to go to the toilet.

After collecting all these luggage boxes into the storage compartment, Zong Shen began to check other luggage boxes.

The second baggage box also contained wax-sealed wooden barrels. There were still ten wooden barrels in each baggage box. Zong Shen opened one, and it contained strips of waxy red air-dried meat. It is as thick as a thumb and reaches thirty centimeters in length.

Obviously this is part of the rations of the Calamity Raven Legion. There are also thirty portions of dried meat in each barrel.

【Crude air-dried beef】

[Restore hunger and satiety level 55]

[Storage period: 180 days]

Zong Shen sorted it out and found that there were a total of 10 boxes of this type of air-dried beef, which meant a total of 3,000 pieces of air-dried beef. The storage period of both types was very long. As long as the barrels were not opened, they could be stored for 6 to 7 months.

Not only can it be used as emergency military rations, but it can also be chopped into pieces and stewed directly in a pot. It is definitely a good military ration reserve, at least it is not as easy to spoil and lose as fresh food.

There are still thirty baggage boxes left, which should contain some fighting supplies for the front line.

Or some materials needed to build fortifications and towers.

This part of the luggage box is what Zong Shen is looking forward to. There are many ways to obtain food, but serious combat supplies are not easy to obtain, especially some special combat ordnance, which are all rare materials that are difficult to purchase.

It plays a great role in Zong Shen's territory construction and defense.

Zong Shen rubbed his hands, hoping that these luggage boxes would bring some surprises of their own.

With a little anticipation, he opened one of the remaining baggage boxes at random.
