Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

After Bamogo left in a hurry, his men also got on the lead car of the only horse-drawn cart, and left with the following five prison cars, all the way to the west.

Zong Shen watched them go away with a smile. He earned a total of 33,970 dinars from this slave trader, and also acquired three good talents.

After putting away all the dinars, Zong Shen slowly wandered around the territory with his hands behind his back.

He found Mariel in the farmland of the territory. She rolled up her trouser legs and followed two farm women, Erya and Xiaoping, weeding in the field with great interest.

After a series of growth bonuses and the careful care of the two farmer women, the crops in the field have grown vigorously and are green and full of vitality.

From time to time, you can see green grasshoppers jumping up and gliding briefly in the vegetable fields and wheat fields. In the absence of pesticides, weeding and catching insects need to be done by hand every day.

Just now, after Zong Shen asked Mariel to call someone, she didn't come back. It turned out that she came here to farm.

Zong Shen stood next to the farm area and watched the crops grow day by day. He really felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and joy.

From nothing to something, from something to excellence, watching the crops grow vigorously is like watching a growing territory.

"Hey, sir, are you here?"

Mariel suddenly noticed something. He stood up suddenly and turned around to see Zong Shen.

"You, I asked you to call someone, but you came to farm."

Zong Shen said with a smile, he was in a good mood because he had just received a lot of benefits.

Mariel's face suddenly showed an embarrassed expression.

"I'm sorry, sir..."

"I feel uncomfortable when I see those slaves..."

"That's why I didn't go there."

Zong Shen nodded understandingly, he could probably understand Mariel.

Although Mariel is a native of this world, her ability to accept it is still much worse than Zong Shen.

She has lived in Xitano Village since she was a child, under the protection of Mr. Mars, and now coming to Zong Shen's territory is the farthest place she has ever been to since she was a child.

"That's right, Mariel."

"In a while, you and Colby will be wandering around the territory with the new ones who just joined."

"By the way, the newbie named Alanna will temporarily serve as your deputy. Please take care of her more."

"Pay close attention to the other two slaves, they have strong intentions of escaping."

Mariel nodded seriously when she heard this.

"Sir, please don't worry, Mariel has taken note of it."

After Zong Shen told her a few words, he turned and walked towards the [Magic Palace].

This place has almost become a resting place for the mages. Even the two newcomers Doris and Parks chose to come to the [Magic Hall] for meditation practice after following Favid around the territory.

Zong Shen came to the Magic Palace this time to find Tasia. He checked the meditation rooms quietly and quickly found Tasia.

I saw Tasia sitting cross-legged, closing her eyes tightly, [Queen of Spider Web's Scepter] lying across her thigh, and strands of black necromancy magic energy fell from the sky, gradually submerging into her heavenly spirit.

Slowly strengthening her strength, Tasia was in a meditative state. Zong Shen couldn't bear to disturb her. He took out four [Intermediate Skill Experience Books] with a flick of his wrist and placed them beside her, and then Quietly, he exited the meditation room.

Meditation is not only a practice for mages, but also a good way to rest.

Zong Shen left the [Magic Palace] and was about to ride on Bajie to take a look at the front line when his eyes suddenly lit up. White light quickly occupied his entire field of vision, and the surrounding time and space stopped again.

Bajie underneath him still maintained his walking posture. The arrow tower not far away had just shot a sharp arrow, and at this time, the sharp arrow stopped in mid-air.

It turned out that after a lot of trouble, it was already 12 noon.

This marks the second half of the Crypt Challenge. From now on, there are exactly two days until the end of the challenge. The Crypt Challenge will officially end at noon the day after tomorrow.

Zong Shen has experienced two time-space stagnations before. The first time was when the rules were adjusted at the end of the novice period, and the second time was when the temporary points were redeemed three days ago.

Zong Shen vaguely felt that it must be related to points redemption.

Sure enough, when the vision was restored, subtitles began to appear one after another.

[120 hours after the Crypt Challenge starts, the second point redemption mall will be temporarily opened]

[This exchange will open more types of props]

[The next redemption will be after the challenge ends, please choose the reward for this redemption carefully]

[Duration: 1 hour]

[After the announcement is over, all lords will be provided with an exclusive exchange time of 20 minutes]

[Please remember that in this world, every effort will be rewarded]

The subtitles were not too long, and I finished reading them quickly. Just as Zong Shen expected, the points redemption was once again enabled.

It's just that this time, both the redemption time and the stop time are twice as long as last time, which shows that there must be a lot more good things in the redemption mall that can be redeemed.

The light curtain slowly disappeared, replaced by a twenty-minute countdown.

With the experience from the last time, Zong Shen skillfully summoned the option of [Crypt Points] in his mind. After one night and one morning, his Crypt Points reached 54729 points. Counting these three days On average, around 18,000 points are earned every month.

This is related to the increasing expansion of the fighting team and the continuous strengthening of territorial defense. In addition, Zong Shen has basically not run around in the past two days, and will actively lead the team to hunt for several hours every day.

Generally speaking, the point-acquisition efficiency of active hunting is much greater than that of passive defense, and even exceeds the point-acquisition speed of the crypt frontline.

Of course, high-intensity battles also have corresponding problems. The most common one is the loss of equipment. These can be solved through this point exchange. Last time, the equipment was replaced for the Wolf Cavalry team and the four Dragonborn Rangers. Once the points are more abundant, you can focus on redeeming more new equipment.

The second is the medical issue. Fortunately, the overall strength of Zong Shen's soldiers is relatively strong, and the overall casualty rate is very low. Some minor injuries can also be solved with the Moon God Spring water.

Regarding the Luna Spring Water, this thing is a precious recovery medicine to outsiders, but to people inside the territory, it is an ordinary healing medicine.

Moon spring water is now being sold in the market, and Zong Shen doesn't think it's unusual at all. It's normal for some lords to discover the relics of other night elves after developing for so long.

However, his Moon Spring is still exclusive. After all, it is not too unusual to get the Moon Spring, but he wants to get the soul and corpse of a demon hunter and bury him beside the well so that his soul can be integrated into the Moon Spring. , to enhance the power of Moon Spring, this is a small probability event that can be encountered but not sought.

At present, apart from the population, there is nothing particularly scarce in the territory.

Regarding the future population problem, Zong Shen focused on the three nearby villages. Among them, Odo Village is the most suitable place to fish in troubled waters, while Dinan Village and Xitano Village need to be operated. Speaking of Xitano Village's weekly A recruiting opportunity seems to be approaching again.

Zong Shen is also now deliberately reserving resources for the future period of population explosion.

However, the mysterious crisis scene he saw before gave him a great sense of urgency, and he will do his best to find ways to increase the territory's defense capabilities.

In the future, the entire territory will be divided into five major areas. The inner city where the lord's courtyard is located will be the central area, and four administrative areas with different functions will be established. City walls and a large number of defensive buildings will be built in each area.

No matter how the territory develops in the future, Zong Shen has only one goal, which is to build the territory into a super fortress-type giant city.

Zong Shen roughly sorted out the material needs in his mind, and then opened the points exchange.

There are still five major options. This time Zong Shen directly skipped [Resources and Materials] and opened [Weapons and Equipment]. The types of exchanges this time have indeed increased a lot.

Even rare-level equipment can be exchanged, but it is limited. Each person can only redeem three pieces. The exchange price of each piece of rare-level equipment is ten times that of the excellent level, and each piece reaches 1,200 points.

There are also many types of rare equipment, including various weapons, protective gear, and armor, each of which provides a large number of styles to choose from.

Zong Shen naturally would not let go of the opportunity to redeem. He had more than 50,000 points in his hands. The cost of redeeming three rare-level equipment was just a drop in the bucket for him.

However, these rare-level equipment that can be exchanged are all question marks, and the attributes and names cannot be viewed. They can only be selected blindly based on their appearance. This is considered a limitation of one party.

Unfortunately, this restriction is of little use to the cheating Zong.

He can see the attributes of rare equipment through prompts and can choose them calmly.

Because Zong Shen has a clear goal and has obtained a lot of rare equipment, he has extremely rich experience in selecting attributes.

He selected two rare-level staffs, one for Aysia and the other for Doris. Aysia only had one rare piece of equipment on her body, which was the [Crown of the Queen of Spider-Web Monsters]. , the staff in her hand is still the standard staff of the Holy Light Priest.

Doris has a powerful fire talent. She and Favid can greatly increase the team's output capability. As for the other fire mage Parks, they can only wait a little bit. These three fire mages, Zong Shendu is ready to join the exploration team.

Fire mages have powerful group killing capabilities. Basically, every third-level fire mage possesses a third-level group magic, which is particularly advantageous when dealing with large-scale enemies. It can make up for the numerical disadvantage of the exploration team to a certain extent.

The equipment he chose for Althea was called [Wand of Dawn's Wisdom (Rare)], and the staff he chose for Doris was called [Scorching Burning Staff (Rare)].

Just by looking at the wisdom of these two pieces of equipment, you can know how well they fit together. This is the advantage of having strategy tips.

Even if other lords choose to exchange for rare equipment, they may not be able to select the attributes that are in short supply and meet their needs. Everything depends on blind guessing and luck.

The attributes of these two pieces of equipment were clearly displayed in front of Zong Shen, and he was very satisfied with it.
