Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

After a little observation, Zong Shen patted Bajie and walked towards Xitano Village.

It’s still the same entrance to the village as when I first came.

This time, the militia soldiers outside the village still had an impression of Zong Shen.

Because the mount Bajie under him is so eye-catching.

In addition, this time he also brought a small team of Immortal Lancers.

Compared with other lords, this formation is of a completely different level.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. When the other lords saw Zong Shen, they all stood where they were.

Some lords have already recognized his identity. After all, there was too much noise about killing the area challenge boss before, and it was the only one.

After him, no lord in other areas was able to kill the regional challenge boss.

Zong Shen's status as the strongest lord in the region has been confirmed.

This is basically a consensus in the region, and even the arrogant lords have to be convinced.

Besides Zong Shen, which other lord could be worthy of five splendid global banner notifications?

Not only the lords in this region, but also the lords in other regions.

There are even many lords who regard Zong Shen as some kind of faith and sustenance.

Call him Zongshen, which means a great god who appears among the lords.

Of course, some people praise it, and some people despise it.

There are also some lords who get pleasure from belittling Zong Shen.

It seems to be no different from the network ecology on earth.

But all this has nothing to do with Zong Shen, no matter whether other lords are stepping on him or praising him.

None of them can have much impact on someone else in his sect.

He is not like other lords who need to rely on water channels to kill time in their free time.

Zong Shen's life is very busy every day. There are too many things that need to be prepared to build a territory.

As the size of the territory expands, the corresponding daily tasks that need to be handled will also increase exponentially.

This situation will become more and more obvious as the territory is formalized.

Now the territory is still autocracy, with Zong Shen as the core of power, and he completely controls the territory through loyalty as a restriction.

After the peasant reforms are implemented and farmers are transformed into "free citizens", although the enthusiasm for labor will greatly increase, there will never be less trivial things for the bosses to take care of the family.

This phenomenon is also normal. Even if the lord is loyal, he cannot avoid the people's livelihood.

This requires many heroic talents to form a complete set of management nodes from the grassroots to the top.

As for now, Zong Shen is still split into two people, and the increase in hero-level talents cannot keep up with the development of the territory.

So this time I went to Bangcheng Zongshen for another purpose, which was to see if there were any potential heroic talents like Mariel among the amateurs in Bangcheng.

Even if the qualifications are not high, it doesn't matter. The future development of the territory requires not only high-end talents, but also some hero-level talents with low qualifications who are responsible for managing the grassroots.

Therefore, Zong Shen has no interest in chatting on the [Channel], and he usually has no intention to pay attention to it.

I just occasionally use my spare time to take a look at [World Channel] to see if there are any major events that everyone is talking about.

When Zong Shen walked to the entrance of the village, the militia guards quickly saluted.

Without any questioning, he opened the way into the village and let him into the village.

This naked privilege made the lords who were waiting for questioning and entering the village envious.

As expected of a boss, even the aborigines have to give face!

This time Zong Shen even made an exception and entered the village with his mount.

Bajie's huge size immediately occupied about one-third of the village streets.

The Immortal Lancers at the rear were divided into six groups in two rows and marched side by side along the village road.

The villagers walking on the road moved out of the way.

I thought it was some aristocratic gentleman from Bangcheng who "condescended" to come to Sitano Village.

This posture and pomp are beyond words.

However, he did not show off his power, and with a calm expression, Bajie carefully moved forward into the village.

The same goes for the Immortal Lancers at the back, and the scene is quite harmonious.

Soon they arrived at the square in the center of the village, which was still so lively.

All the traveling merchants and small vendors in the village were shouting hard.

Most of the goods sold by traveling merchants are specialties from other regions.

The local vendors basically buy some basic handmade products.

Zong Shen just glanced at it and continued walking along the village road without stopping.

A few hundred meters ahead is Mr. Mars' house in the village.

That spacious house is definitely the only one in the village.

This time he came unexpectedly, and no one informed Mr. Mars.

It was past nine o'clock in the morning. When Zong Shen came to the door of the house, he saw Mr. Mars wearing a nightgown, holding a petite and young chestnut-haired girl in one hand, and holding the shower head in one hand. watering flowers in the yard.

There was a maid waiting respectfully behind him with twice as much steaming coffee.

The chestnut-haired girl had an excellent figure, with a curvy front and back. She looked to be a few years older than Mariel.

"Good guy, no wonder this old guy agreed to let Mariel join the territory!"

"Sure enough, there is a deep love between father and daughter!"

Zong Shen complained crazily in his heart.

Such a large group of people gathered outside his mansion, but no one opened the door to receive them.

Zong Shen passed through the barrier and coughed hard several times.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Master Mars!"

This can be regarded as attracting the attention of Mr. Mars and the servants.

They all turned their heads and looked outside the fence.

"Eh? Master Zong?"

"Why are you here?"

Mr. Mars said with some surprise, he let go of the beautiful girl beside him, walked to the door, and opened the door of the mansion himself.

His yard was spacious enough, and Zong Shen rode Bajie directly into the yard with Luna and the cavalry team.

Then Zong Shen nimbly rolled off Bajie's back and looked at Mr. Mars with a playful expression, and then at the beautiful girl not far away.

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Mars' life has become more and more prosperous during the days when Mariel is away!"

Zong Shen joked slowly, emphasizing the word "run" very hard.

Mr. Mars scratched his head awkwardly, smiled flatteringly, and began to change the topic.

"What's the matter with your visit this time?"

"Still need to purchase any supplies?"

Zong Shen waved his hand after hearing this, and took out the five-pointed star token that Mr. Mars had given him before from the storage compartment.

"I'm going to leave for Bosibon right away, just in time to help you get back your father's inheritance."

"I'll find a way to get into that Evans estate."

Yes, this is exactly the mission that Mr. Mars left for Zong Shen after sending Mariel to the territory.

[Mission: Retrieve father’s inheritance]

[Requirement: Enter the magic secret room of the manor’s wine cellar and retrieve the legacy left by Mr. Mars’ father’s generation]

[Reward: [Avalon Knight Trial Badge × 1], half of the property recovered]

That five-pointed star token is the key to the magic chamber.

Due to the previous crypt challenge, Zong Shen was unable to go to Bosi State, so he took the opportunity to go to Bosi State to complete it together this time.

Hearing what Zong Shen said, Mr. Mars was also a little excited.

That inheritance is not a small amount, but it is not easy to sneak into the Evans Manor.

Mars just gave a brief explanation before and did not go into details.

Now that Zong Shen was about to leave, Mr. Mars couldn't care less about the embarrassment and pulled Zong Shen into the living room.

After Zong Shen took his seat, Mr. Mars whispered.

"My lord, that Evans has great power in Bosbon."

"He has a private mercenary force of sixty people in his manor."

"The strength of these private mercenaries is equivalent to the second-level kingdom warriors."

"I work as his thug on weekdays and look after the manor at night."

After listening to what he said, Zong Shen not only didn't find it difficult, but actually felt happy.

The man named Evans actually hired a large number of private mercenaries to guard the manor.

This shows that there must be a lot of wealth stored in his manor.

Anyway, we need to sneak into the manor, and Zong Shen won't mind taking advantage of it when the time comes.

Horses are no longer fat without grass, and the wealth of the aboriginal people is the lord's wealth.

Whether you can get it or not depends on your personal ability.

If one is strong enough and can loot the kingdom's treasure house in the main imperial city, that can be considered a skill.

"Don't worry, Master Mars."

"Just leave this matter to me."

"Please pay more attention to the construction of pastures in the territory."

Zong Shen patted his chest and gave Mr. Mars reassurance.

By the way, I remind him not to forget about the cooperation between the two parties just because of beauty.

Mr. Mars is a smart man. After hearing what Zong Shen said, he nodded hurriedly.

"Don't worry, sir. I have not forgotten this matter. I will set off early tomorrow morning."

"In addition, I also said hello to a few old traveling merchant friends and informed them of the location of your territory."

"I believe there will soon be a group of traveling merchants who will include your territory in the trade routes."

Zong Shen felt relieved when he heard Master Mars say this.

"Since Mr. Mars knows it well."

"Then I'll feel relieved."

"I'll take my men and set off now."

He stood up, said hello to Mr. Mars, and then walked out.

I don’t know if Mariel knows that she has another mother.

When Zong Shen thought of this, he couldn't help but curl his lips and shook his head gently.

He jumped up gracefully and sat on Bajie's neck.

He waved to Mr. Mars who just walked out of the house.

"Let's get going now."

"Follow the main road in the village and continue eastward. When you leave the village, you will find the dirt road."

Zong Shen turned around and whispered to the soldiers under his command.

Then he left Master Mars' mansion.

The other party also waved goodbye to him and watched them leave.

Zong Shen rode Bajie ahead, and there were many people passing by along the way.

As contact between lords and natives increased, large villages like Citano would become a meeting point for integration.

Became more and more prosperous with the participation and interference of the lords.

Including those lords who came near the city, I am afraid they will enter the city immediately to look for opportunities and obtain supplies.

After walking along the main road in the village for another five or six minutes, Zong Shen and the others left the village from the east.

There is an obvious dirt road in front of you.

There was no grass on the road and it was extremely compacted.

You can see very far away along a dirt road.

This journey is all the way east and requires a journey of seven to eight hundred kilometers.

Travel through at least three to four zones.

There are no barriers between regions, and it is not difficult for adjacent regions to achieve cross-regional communication.

Some lords who come to the border of a region can easily cross the region.

For Zong Shen, this is the farthest destination he has ever gone to.

"Full speed ahead!"

"Target Bosbon!"

Zong Shen waved his hand and said passionately.

Looking at an unpretentious dirt road, he seemed to see a wider world.

He reached out and patted Bajie's neck, and Bajie on his crotch also became excited.

Run towards the front!

The horse galloped behind him, kicking up dust all over the sky.

…

At the same time, in the mountains in the northern part of Zong Shen's territory.

On a winding road heading north, more than a hundred kilometers away from Zong Shen's territory.

Raven Saint Safuri is riding a prairie horse on the path at a steady speed.

This place has penetrated deep into the northern mountains, and there are hills of varying heights from south to north.

The terrain is very complex, including woodlands, valleys, streams and various caves.

The surrounding trees are very lush, and there are ancient vines as thick as arms hanging down on both sides of the path.

In such dense mountain forests, there are often various ferocious beasts and strange monsters inhabiting them.

Safuri, however, acted very calmly. If she continued for a few hours, she would reach a secret stronghold of the church in the mountains.

By then, I rode the Frost Raven and flew to the teleportation point, and I expected to return to Jackdaw Valley in the afternoon.

This mountainous area is very large. Strictly speaking, it is the border area between the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Avalon.

The entire mountainous area stretches for two to three thousand kilometers and serves as a buffer zone between the two countries. It is also a typical area where neither country is concerned.

This place had been initially explored by exploration teams from the two countries, but no valuable properties were found, so no kingdom forces intervened here.

There are no villages or cities in it, and it is a typical no-man's land.

There are many uninhabited areas like this throughout the continent, and the scale here can only be considered small and medium-sized.

After all, the world is really too big.

A huge city can govern an area of ​​thousands of kilometers.

It is just right for the Calamity Raven Church to set up its secret stronghold here.

As she rode her horse, she was still reflecting on this action in her mind.

"Damn it, I'm still too sloppy!"

"It's incredible that someone could sneak into the village and dig up half of the magic circle's materials."

"And time is still so delicate."

"Right between the Crusaders bombarding the dome and launching a full-scale assault."

"During this period, everyone's attention is not on the village!"
