Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

These humans in front of us are really cruel!

Not only did he roast it first, but he also tied it up.

Now they are forced to use the power of frost in their bodies to make ice cubes for them.

It's a bird that has never suffered this kind of injustice!

It's not enough to just quit, these guys are so rude and will kill birds at every turn!

Zong Shen stood in front, watching the frost raven's eyes begin to fill with tears. Although he couldn't see the guy's expression, he could feel its grievance.

"Why are you crying? It's such a big bird!"

"Hurry up and make ice. I'll let you rest for ten minutes after this batch is finished."

Zong Shen patted its neck with his hand and said in a calm tone.

The Frost Raven glanced at it and continued to spit out cold air helplessly.

This time the cold air was obviously weaker. It took more than thirty seconds to freeze all the buckets. After the cold air was sprayed out, the guy let out a hoarse cry.

That look seemed to be telling Zong Shen, "There really isn't a drop left!"

Zong Shen smiled. He naturally knew that this guy really couldn't spray. For every minute the Frost Raven breathes out cold air, it needs to cool down for ten minutes to accumulate the power of the frost.

Otherwise Zong Shen would not have promised to let it rest for ten minutes. The wolf cavalry also put a new batch of ice cubes into the bottom of the cellar, laying two layers of ice cubes back and forth.

Zong Shen also used the [Manufacture] function to consume some wood to make five or six wooden boards, and laid them smoothly on the ice, thus laying the wooden boards on both sides.

The cellar is located underground because the thermal conductivity of the soil is weak. Its temperature change is much smaller than that of the atmosphere, which is conducive to maintaining the rated temperature.

Then Zong Shen started to divide the cellar into two parts with wooden boards, called Mariel and San Pang, and asked them to organize the farmers to remove the fresh meat that had not been salted or dried from the beasts killed during the expansion of the territory today. into a section of the cellar

A lot of the beast meat harvested today has been dried or pickled, but the remaining batch of fresh meat is still quite large, filling the other half of the cellar.

Eggs, vegetables and dry food are placed on the other side of the cellar. The area where fresh meat is placed is the frozen area, and the other side is the cold and fresh area.

By this time, the Frost Raven had almost recovered and could breathe out cold air again. Zong Shen asked the wolf cavalry to carry the Calamity Raven to the cellar.

Now we still need to give the cellar a final round of freezing and cooling and that’s it.

He pointed to the frozen area where the fresh meat was separated by the template, indicating where the Frost Raven was blowing cold air.

This time the Frost Raven learned to be smart, and without Zong Shen's coercion, it consciously aimed its direction and began to spit out frosty air.

The fierce frost and mist swept out, quickly freezing all the fresh meat into frozen meat. The white frost instantly covered most of the cellar. As long as the cold fresh area isolated by wooden boards had not been frozen, the entire cellar was frozen. The temperature has dropped a lot.

This time the Frost Raven breathed cold air for a full minute, freezing all the fresh meat in the freezer area, and the temperature of the entire cellar also dropped a lot.

This temperature was already very suitable for preserving food. Zong Shen nodded with satisfaction and closed the cellar cover, then covered the cellar entrance cover with the cotton coat he had received from the goblin merchant.

After doing this, Zong Shen nodded with satisfaction. This is how an artificial version of the ice cellar was created. From now on, he would let the Frost Raven blow at the ice cellar from time to time and that would be it.

It’s safe, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving, and you don’t have to consume magic points. Isn’t this better than cold storage?

The self-made cold storage was completed. Zong Shen felt quite satisfied and touched the frost raven's big head, just like touching a little bird raised by the old man next door.

He took out a piece of dried meat and threw it into the frost raven's beak as a reward.

He asked Colby to feed it some water, and then tied its beak with hemp rope.

It's a good sign that the Frost Raven is so cooperative today. You can try to tame it after waiting for another two days.

Zong Shen also has a [Pet Contract (Purple)] in his hand, but he does not intend to use it on the Frost Raven. This kind of raptor with certain intelligence can be tamed artificially.

I'm afraid it's just those stupid green beasts with low IQs, they are really hard to eat.

It is said that intelligent creatures are very unruly, but as long as they know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, they can theoretically tame them.

Instruct the wolf cavalry to take the Frost Raven away and find an empty hut to lock it up first.

In the afternoon, the weather became a little strange. After 12 noon today, the crypt should start to refresh monsters with level 5 strength.

Zong Shen raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was very gloomy, with dark clouds covering the sky, but it was much better than the day at the end of the novice period. There was no heavy thunder.

It should rain again, but it will definitely not be as heavy as the previous rain.

Zong Shen opened the [Legion], and Jiang Yi recruited four members in just two or three hours. Now, including them, there are a total of 6 members in the [Legion].

After the [Legion] function is turned on, a new channel named [Legion Channel] will appear in [Channel]. At this time, this channel is constantly flashing, obviously chatting is taking place.

Zong Shen opened the [Legion Channel], and Jiang Yi was teaching some tips on resisting cave monsters, such as how to deal with zombies with less effort, and what to do if gargoyles appear in the monster group.

The new members were indeed a bit new and asked many very basic questions, but it seemed that these people had basically adapted to the rhythm of the lord's life. Zong Shen did not say anything and silently closed the [Legion Channel].

There is still a big gap between lords and lords, and there is a big gap between high-end lords, mid-range lords, and low-end lords. This differentiation will be the basis for the class gap between lords in the future.

Just like the village level, state city level, giant city level, imperial city level, and kingdom level among the current aboriginal forces, there will eventually be different territory sizes and different development progress, forming a comprehensive and three-dimensional pyramid-like lord. class system.

Just like now, dozens of villages are governed by a state city, a dozen state cities are governed by a giant city, and several giant cities are governed by the imperial city in the region. Regardless of whether it is an imperial city or a giant city, it is ultimately a kingdom. a part of.

The lord's class will eventually be like the class in the kingdom's city, forming a new force that rises step by step and has unlimited potential.

After checking the legion, it was still after two o'clock in the afternoon. Zong Shen was going to take a short rest, and then he took the soldiers of the exploration team to the front line to have a look, hunt some crypt monsters, level up, and brush up on strength. extraction,

"Crack!"

A raindrop fell on the tip of his nose.

The dark clouds in the sky are slowly surging, and the sunlight behind the clouds is constantly changing with the surging dark clouds. The raindrops fall one by one, gradually forming a thin line quickly.

"Crash!"

The second rain started right after it landed.

This rain was much gentler than the first rain, without the violent violence after depression.

Just an ordinary moderate rain, mild and moist earth.

However, in this kind of weather, normal work cannot be carried out. The farmers and kobolds collecting outside all retreated to their territories under the guidance of Mariel and Dutra, and hid in houses to take shelter from the rain. Working in the rain was It's easy to get sick.

Zong Shen stood at the door of the lord's small building, watching the raindrops fall, making the earth become moist little by little, and he found a rare sense of leisure and comfort.

At this moment, the communication crystal on her chest suddenly lit up, and number 5 was flashing in the crystal. That was the crystal number belonging to Vereesa.

"Will there be another problem on the front line?"

Zong Shen vaguely felt that there must be a problem on the front line. The difficulty of the crypt front line was increasing every day, not only in terms of strength level, but also in the types of monsters.

Now Vereesa suddenly used the crystal to contact Zong Shen, probably because of another situation on the front line.

He directly chose to connect, and Vereesa's voice and the sound of falling rain came over at the same time.

"Wow!"

"Sir, this is the front line of the crypt."

"I have something to report to you."

"A new type of monster has been refreshed in the crypt, and its grade has reached the leader level."

"The intensity is very high. We couldn't kill the monster as quickly as before. The leader-level monster just broke through the first line of defense and destroyed a hay shed before we killed it."

"Just in case, the frontline defense and troop strength may need to be strengthened."

Vereesa's tone was a little urgent, and her voice sounded like she was talking to herself in the rain.

Sure enough, leader-level monsters began to spawn in the crypt.

This means that the strength of the crypt will be further improved.

"Don't worry, I will bring people to the front line now."

"Stay alert and pay attention to the refresh frequency of commander-level monsters."

"We'll talk more about it when I get there."

Zong Shen also quickly explained and hung up the communication crystal.

Immediately began to prepare the soldiers of the exploration team, preparing to go to the front line to take a look.

Zong Shen walked out in the rain and gathered his men. Now there was no shortage of horses in the territory. In the morning, he captured more than a dozen horses from the horse bandits who came to attack the city, enough for each person in the exploration team to mount a mount.

So Zong Shen rode on Bajie, and the team members, except Luna, each rode a prairie horse and rushed towards the front line despite the continuous raindrops.

…

At the same time, outside the secret storage location of the Calamity Raven Church.

Beside the ruins of the city wall, twelve heretical giant knights stood in the rain.

There is also an empty prairie horse wandering aside.

In the center was Raven Saint Safuri, who was wearing a hooded cloak. They were just waiting in the rain.

Five or six minutes later, on the ruins of the city wall, a church deacon, also wearing a cloak, stood up and shook his head at Saint Safuri who was waiting for the results below.

"Lady Saint, the secret supply point has been cleared..."

"We're a step too late."

"This must have something to do with the loss of the first raven scout of the morning."

His tone was full of loss and disbelief, and seemed particularly desolate and desolate amidst the sound of rain.

This batch of supplies is very important to their operations, especially because there is also a batch of ordnance, all of which are intended to be used against the reinforcements from the giant city of Lentatus.

Sally frowned, and finally waved to the church deacon.

"Best, come down first."

"If the church packs the supplies in a space-capable backpack and the raven scout rides the Frost Raven, it should be too late."

"This time let them change the route they came from and don't take the original route again."

"There must be something wrong with the route. It's impossible for the Raven Scout to lose contact for no reason."

"Even if it falls into the hands of the enemy, the mail bucket sealed by the magic seal cannot be broken at all."

Safuri comforted the deacon. For her, there were too many doubts about this matter.

Even with her intelligence, she couldn't figure out how the other party broke the self-destruction restriction of the seal and obtained the specific location of the secret material point.

The self-destruction seal is unbreakable. Even a master of rune magic cannot break it without damage. As long as the task of the seal is simple, as long as the breath is wrong, it will self-destruct on the spot. After all, it is just self-destruction, not killing, at least the intelligence It won't be leaked.

There are only a few methods that can break the self-destruct seal without damage, but those who can use those methods do not like these materials at all.

So the current situation seems very strange.

Sally stood there and thought for a moment, still having no idea.

So she moved and jumped on the horse of a heretic giant knight.

Putting one hand on the knight's waist.

"Let's go back."

After giving the order, all the huge force turned the horse's body, and the church deacon also mounted the prairie horse.

Odo Village is southwest of this secret supply point, so they all turned around.

The cavalry quickly increased their speed and advanced rapidly in the rain.

After just two or three minutes of progress, Safuli suddenly asked everyone to stop.

"Everyone stop it!"

All the cavalry immediately reined in their horses and stopped in front.

Safuli got off her horse, turned around and walked a hundred or two hundred meters. He squatted directly on the ground,

There were several long puddles filled with water.

She stretched out her hand and drew on the mud marks on the side, and immediately stood up, as if she had discovered something.

"This is the track ruts..."

"Only a few magic mechas like to use tracks as a drive."

"And the only ones that can travel long distances are the Goblin's Heavy Bearer mechas."

"So, it's a group of powerful goblins who stole the supplies from our secret stronghold?"

"Think about it, it's very possible, those nasty greenskins are always greedy."

Safuri said to herself that she had discovered those track ruts and immediately thought of the goblins.

In such rainy days, falling rain can cause great damage to various traces on the ground.

Now is their last chance to track. If the rain falls for a while, the ruts may be gone!
