Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

,

Zong Shen handed over the small wooden box containing the requiem grass.

"I met a traveling merchant named Picol on the way to Bosbon."

"They are trapped in the desert area where the Shark-Lizard beast roams."

"So I was entrusted with helping to bring this thing back."

His tone was very calm, and the armor on his body was stained with a lot of dust.

It does look like a dusty person.

Since Zong Shen's face was obscured by a silver battle helmet, Evans' personal mercenaries could not derive any useful information from Zong Shen's expression.

After Zong Shen spoke, Luna arrived at the side but deliberately controlled the black panther to take a few steps towards the corner of the manor, deliberately lowering her presence.

Using the cover of the shadows, she summoned an owl.

The owl was gently thrown to the fence by her and stood silently.

Her movements were so subtle that none of the private mercenaries noticed her.

"Picol..."

"This box..."

The leading mercenary looked at the small wooden box carefully.

"This is Requiem Grass!"

"Go and notify Mr. Evans!"

"The Requiem Grass has been sent back."

He quickly reached out and took the small wooden box and handed it to the person behind him.

The door was opened again, this time not closed.

The mercenary quickly ran into the manor holding the small wooden box.

Standing at the steps of the mansion, he handed the small wooden box to a man dressed as a servant.

Then a man dressed as a butler came out, and the two whispered a few words.

The housekeeper walked into the house, seemingly asking for instructions.

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a loose beige robe came out.

Behind him were the butler and several servants.

At the same time, a task completion prompt appeared in front of Zong Shen.

After the subtitles indicating the completion of this task, there will be a reminder of the change in favorability.

This is probably what is called a preconceived impression.

In addition, Zong Shen's reputation value increased by 500 points, and the total reputation value became 14,900.

Judging from the current situation, these reputation points will not have any impact on the indigenous people.

It seems that reputation points are also required when upgrading.

After silently dismissing the system subtitles in front of him, Zong Shen was able to look at the middle-aged man in robes.

He has naturally curly hair, gray with a little brown.

This should be the so-called Lord Evans.

Belongs to the so-called emerging aristocratic force.

It was his fathers who robbed the manor that belonged to Mr. Mars.

Zong Shen was riding on Bajie, observing him through the gaps in his helmet.

Judging from the current situation, he seems to attach great importance to Requiem Grass.

I saw Evans's steps were vigorous, and his figure was tall and toned. Every step made the loose robe cling to his body, completely exposing the outline of his muscles.

He always had a gentle smile on his face, and a neatly trimmed mustache around his lips.

Zong Shen remembered correctly. Evans and Mr. Mars were the same age.

But the difference in temperament between the two is really not that big.

Mr. Mars's figure is like that of a middle-aged and fat nouveau riche.

But Evans is obviously different, and his figure is managed very well.

Zong Shen was observing Evans on one side, and Evans, who was walking over on the other side, was also observing him.

Even though the two sides were still one or two hundred meters apart, he could still tell that the armor and equipment on Zong Shen were of high quality.

And the woman riding the black panther is obviously a night elf.

The lancers behind him are from the famous Immortal Knights.

He has a vicious eye and rich experience, and he has already come to a conclusion after just a few glances at him.

The opponent's background is not small, and his strength is also very strong!

At least the sixty private mercenaries in their own manor are definitely no match for them!

After coming to the conclusion, the smile on Evans' face became even bigger.

He walked quickly to Bajie, raised his head slightly and nodded to Zong Shen.

Zong Shen also nodded slightly, but he still had no intention of getting off his mount.

Evans was not angry, but Zong Shen's arrogant performance made him feel that his guess was right.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for helping Picol bring these Requiem Grasses back."

"Without the sleeping potion soup made from these requiem herbs, I couldn't sleep at all."

"It's a pity that these requiem plants are not common."

"They are called the smiles of the dead and are only born at the graves of new dead people."

"And not all dead people have this growing on their graves."

Evans said to himself, and began to introduce the function and origin of Requiem Grass.

"I would be honored to be able to help you."

"It's just a piece of cake for me."

Zong Shen said lightly, with a very calm tone.

Evans was secretly shocked when he heard what Zong Shen said.

Although he didn't know what happened to Picol and the others that delayed their trip and failed to pass through the desert area in time before dark.

But he knew that anyone who could forcefully pass through the desert area at night was definitely an extraordinary person.

The group of hungry shark lizard beasts will attack all travelers or beasts passing through the desert area.

Even the state city could do nothing about it, as the cost of eradication was too high.

But the mysterious boar rider in front of him was able to break through the desert area so easily.

If we take a detour, the time will not match up. It will take at least three hours more to bypass the desert area.

There weren't many traces of battle on their bodies, but they were stained with a lot of dust.

Evans decided at that moment that he must make friends with them!

He turned around and extended his right hand to the butler.

The butler took out a bulging money bag from his arms and handed it to Evans's hand.

Evans took the money bag and held it up with both hands towards Zong Shen.

"Anyway, you did me a big favor."

"Here are 3,000 continental common dinars. I hope you won't find it too little."

His posture was very low, which surprised the surrounding mercenaries.

Only the butler behind Evans remained calm.

Facing the money bag that Evans offered with both hands, Zong Shen waved his hand.

"Your Excellency is too kind."

"There is no need for this reward."

"I have something to do when I come to Bosibon this time, so I'll take my leave now."

Zong Shen directly tried to play hard to get, testing Evans's reaction.

If Evans doesn't take the bait, then he will find an opportunity tomorrow to sneak into the manor by other means.

In his opinion, the strength of those private mercenaries is no more than this.

Although his living standard cannot be compared with Evans, in terms of combat effectiveness, Zong Shen can basically walk around the city.

Seeing Zong Shen riding a pig and about to leave, Evans quickly stopped in front of Bajie.

"Since you are unwilling to accept payment."

"Then tomorrow at noon, I would like to invite you and your subordinates to have lunch together."

"The location is in my manor."

"In the past two days, a batch of seafood from Elaraya Port has just arrived at the manor."

"All are kept in the frost cold storage..."

"I also ask that you please honor me so that I can perform some of my duties as a landlord."

Evans enthusiastically extended an invitation to Zong Shen.

Zong Shen pretended to be thinking and tilted his head.

Then he nodded.

"Since you insist on inviting me."

"Then we will come on time for the appointment at noon tomorrow."

When Evans heard this, he nodded with a smile on his face.

"Then I won't disturb you anymore."

"If you need help with anything in Bosbon, feel free to come to me."

He patted his chest and said confidently.

Zong Shen did not answer, but nodded slightly.

"let's go."

He waved his hand, turned around, and left Evans' manor.

In place, Evans stood at the door and watched them leave.

The smile on his face disappeared instantly.

He turned around and said to the butler behind him.

"Isidor, send a smarter scout to follow them."

"There have been more and more mysterious forces active in Bangcheng recently."

"I don't know where these illegal armed forces came from."

"Look at that beautiful night elf riding a black panther."

"I can tell just by looking into her eyes how coquettish she will be in bed..."

"And the one behind him is also a rare elf beauty..."

Evans licked his lips, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and showed an evil smile.

Although elves are rare in the current human territory, some can still be seen in some giant cities.

Especially in some powerful organizations that run a sex business, the women of the elves are of the highest quality.

Just one night costs 1,000 to 1,500 mainland dinars.

Compared with the mere population, this is a hugely profitable business, and you only need to pick up customers dozens of times to get your money back.

However, this business also carries great risks. The Elf Eyes lurking in the giant human city will never let their own people be tainted.

They will attack prostitution organizations and rescue their companions.

Generally, only powerful prostitution organizations have high-quality elven women.

Evans had the pleasure of enjoying several visits to the Moulin Rouge in the great city of Lentax.

The skin of elven women is more delicate than that of human women.

There is also a faint fragrance of nature on the body, which is because of its natural affinity.

The taste is even more wonderful, enough to make any man want to leave.

So even if Vereesa and Luna were simply disguised, he could still tell them apart.

However, these guys in front of me really look difficult to deal with, so it’s better to get in touch with them first.

Find out the details, and also explore their origins.

Recently, a lot of mysterious forces have come to Bosbon, and these guys are always followed by some weird warriors.

Their etiquette is very poor and they don't treat nobles with due respect.

Evans had noticed them and sent someone to follow them.

He discovered many illegal armed settlements dozens of kilometers away.

This situation was very suspicious. Based on the above, he guessed that Zong Shen also belonged to this type of mysterious force that appeared inexplicably.

That damn Immortal Knights is active in the west of the continent, and this is the east of the continent!

Although the Immortal Knights are quite famous, it is impossible for them to cross such a vast area to be active in the eastern part of the continent!

Evans was very sure about this and did not act rashly because he knew that the opponent was very powerful.

In a head-to-head encounter, unless they rely on the help of the state army, their own men alone are no match for them.

When the butler behind him heard this, he immediately bowed and blew a whistle.

In the shadows on the side, several sneaking figures slowly emerged.

"Go, follow them."

As the order was given, one of the figures entered the stealth state again.

He quickly followed Zong Shen and the others in the direction they left.

Only then did Evans turn around and walk into the manor.

The thick carved iron door was immediately closed, and the door shaft made a heavy friction sound.

"Isidor, this batch of requiem tonight."

"Let our dear medicine man put a little more thought into this."

"Usually it's boiled into a sleeping potion soup, and half of it is made into a requiem powder."

The butler saluted again, taking his instructions to heart.

No one noticed that an owl stood silently on the fence and peered at them.

A street away from the Evans Manor, Zong Shen was riding Bajie and leading a team of lancers towards the central area.

According to the navigation of the strategy module, Baron Bezos is in the central area of ​​Bangcheng.

As night fell, the streets around them grew quiet.

Occasionally, you can see groups of patrolling Bangcheng troops passing by.

These state soldiers looked at them with vigilant eyes.

Even after Zong Shen walked for a while, they were followed directly by a group of state troops.

He followed them not far away, but seemed to be very wary of them.

Zong Shen ignored this and just went on his way silently.

At this time, Luna rode a black panther and came to the position side by side with Zong Shen.

With some worry in her eyebrows, she spoke softly to Zong Shen.

"Sir, there was something wrong with Evans just now."

That owl is the "sentinel" left by Luna.

It transmitted everything Evans said to Luna through a mind link.

But Zong Shen nodded, still acting calm.

"I can probably guess what he's thinking."

"Take away the manor of Mr. Mars's father's generation from what his father's generation can take by force."

"I knew this Evans was definitely not a good bird either."

"We won't talk about it here until we settle down tonight."

Zong Shen had already made plans in his mind.

He didn't care about the stalker, nor the group of soldiers following him.

After passing through the last quiet street, they arrived at the central area of ​​Bangcheng.

From a distance, you can see a large castle standing in the central area!
