Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

He folded up the summary list of supplies.

He raised his head and looked at Mariel who was sitting beside him.

Squinting his eyes slightly, he slowly opened his mouth and gave instructions.

"Maril, go and call Doris, Luna, Vereesa, and Farvid."

"By the way, let San Fatty bring some farmers."

"We are now distributing cold-warming supplies."

After hearing Zong Shen's instructions, Mariel nodded, stood up and left the lord's small building.

After more than ten minutes, she led the three girls into the lord's small building.

Not far behind them, followed by Farvid and the three fat farmers.

The heroes in the territory are currently in a state of yin and yang decline.

Except for the kobold chief Dutra and Howie, the remaining four heroic talents are all women.

This is not Zong Shen's intention to be biased. He always has an open-minded attitude towards heroic talents.

Including the previous allocation of the hero crest orange], his first consideration was also cost-effectiveness!

As his woman, Luna naturally cannot treat her badly and must make arrangements.

Doris was born with a rare talent.

Different talents will lead to different growth rates in the future.

Although the territory will continue to recruit more heroic talents in the future.

But the early and middle stages of the territory are also crucial. The higher the talent, the greater the role in the future.

Zong Shen also retained a hero's emblem orange]. For this one, he will give priority to Colby or Favid, provided that he has to get a complete purple soul.

After all four women were in place, Zong Shen also stood up.

He walked out of the small building with his hands behind his back and came to the territory storage box in the lord's courtyard.

"Everyone listen to me now."

"Time is running out, and the temperature has changed significantly recently."

"The temperature is still above freezing."

"But after noon, the temperature will inevitably drop suddenly."

The farmers and warriors in the territory have not yet changed their clothes.

However, the relevant collection work has been suspended starting today.

Warming supplies must be distributed immediately.

Just like now, Zong Shen could exhale a clear stream of white air without saying a word.

Mariel and the others nodded solemnly. Anyone who was not a fool could spot the obvious changes in the climate.

"Each hero-level talent will be given a fur coat to keep out the cold and a magic heat ball."

"The warriors in the territory, as well as Alanna and the dwarf uncle, will each be issued a double-faced sheepskin warm-weather suit]."

"The remaining farmers in the territory will be given a brand new sheepskin coat."

"The mine is also prepared with the same configuration."

"In addition, give Dutra 100 pine tar blocks, 1,000 pieces of wood, and 20 sets of small heaters."

"In addition, add another week's worth of food to supplement them."

"Luna, you can ride the Sentinel Black Panther and take Bajie to the mine later."

"Favid, you also ride the prairie horse and follow Luna to the mine, and bring the four hellhounds there."

The two accepted the order and nodded respectfully.

Zong Shen took advantage of the winter challenge before it officially started.

First, distribute warm quilts to territorial personnel.

Bundles of different grades of quilts were taken out.

All kinds of cold-proof materials and props were also piled in the small courtyard.

As for the farmers, the three fat men will distribute the money.

Vereesa is responsible for distributing the soldiers.

Luna is in charge of the mine.

The person who quickly received the instructions took the supplies and left the lord's courtyard.

Mariel and Doris were left in the same place.

Distributing quilts and uniforms is only the first step. Due to the residential area and being moved out of the inner city.

Therefore, other layout and arrangements are required.

Zong Shen didn't know much about the situation after the territory was moved.

Taking advantage of this moment, he put those cold-warming supplies into his portable storage compartment.

"You two should accompany me on a tour of the territory first."

"Now that the territory planning has been completed, some buildings need to be reinforced."

"Including places like living quarters, magic palace, stables, blacksmith shop, and tailor shop."

"You can use the first-order city wall as a wind-blocking wall."

"What do you think?"

Zong Shen told Mariel and Doris his previous thoughts.

This time he used a questioning tone at the end.

I want to see if Mariel and Doris have other opinions and arrangements.

The result was that he was a little disappointed. Neither of the two women had anything to add.

He just nodded hurriedly, agreeing with Zong Shen's idea.

He sighed secretly in his heart, but after all, he didn't say anything more.

He stepped out of the lord's courtyard and left the inner city directly.

The current territory is centered on the original inner city.

A central area with a radius of one kilometer was planned.

But in fact, outside this central area, a special area with a radius of two kilometers has been reserved.

Then four sector areas were divided in four directions.

They are temporarily named according to their respective locations.

Northwest District, Southwest District, Northeast District, Southeast District.

Roads were built in every direction.

These roads were the prototype of future territorial streets.

They were all simply compacted, and there were still traces of crushing marks on them.

The grass and gravel have also been cleared away, and it can be seen at a glance that they are simple roads.

All construction within the territory was moved to both sides of these temporary roads.

Beyond that there are large tracts of open space.

If viewed from the air, Zong Shen's territory still looks relatively empty.

But it's still taking shape.

The northwest of the current territory is the future agricultural and pastoral area.

To the southwest is the future industrial area.

To the northeast is a reserved commercial area.

To the southeast is the residential area of ​​the territory.

All buildings have been moved to corresponding areas according to their corresponding characteristics.

In addition to the four major areas mentioned above, there is also a military area.

This military area is set outside the central area.

It is a circular area with a radius of 2 kilometers.

Just outside the central area.

At that time, multiple city walls can be set up and constructed from the inside out.

First, build two circular city walls in the central area and the military area to isolate other external areas.

Even though this circular area doesn't seem too big.

However, it is particularly suitable for placing barracks-type buildings or buildings with relatively sensitive functions.

And on that one-third of an acre, in addition to building barracks, a part of the resettlement area can also be built.

According to the area formula S=π of the ring, the actual area of ​​the military area can reach 15.7 square kilometers, which is enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people.

This is more than enough as a military rear area.

And after the city is completely formed, it will change from an open territory to a semi-open territory, and finally to a fortress-type territory.

By that time, a large number of soldiers will need to be stationed on the outer towers.

The giant towers that surround the entire city are both city walls and frontline barracks.

Just like the ruins of the castle towers in the northeast of the territory.

Each one has a width of more than thirty meters and is both a city wall and a forward military fortress.

The interior is not solid, but retains a certain thickness of the city wall.

It is divided into rooms with different functions.

The top of the wide tower can not only station soldiers, but also arrange various large-scale defense equipment.

You can even build towers and defensive tower matrices.

This is the kind of tower a large city should have.

Hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers can be stationed in the outer towers alone.

But although the tower is good, the cost of building it is also huge.

He wants to turn his territory into a giant city that can accommodate tens of millions of people.

It must occupy an area of ​​at least thirty or forty kilometers in radius.

Then the outer perimeter of the territory is at least two to three hundred kilometers.

This is still a relatively conservative estimate.

Just thinking about it in Zong Shen's mind can make his scalp tingle.

Even in this world of swords and magic, there are also various building privileges provided by the lord system.

If you want to build the territory into a fortress-shaped giant city, you still need to spend a lot of hard work.

Manpower, material resources, and time are all three major factors that cannot be missing.

This made Zong Shen couldn't help but think of the Great Wall on Earth.

Of course, this is just the planning of the territorial area.

At that time, we will have to design some small bases with different functions in several surrounding places with difficult terrain.

For example, the mountains in the north, the swamps in the south, the valley plains in the east, and the forests far away in the west.

Therefore, the reserved area of ​​​​the military zone in the territory is completely sufficient.

Now, no matter where you go from the central area, you have to walk at least three kilometers.

Zong Shen walked around the inner city and roughly observed the distribution of buildings in the territory.

There is currently only a pasture, a second-level stable, and some crudely reclaimed farmland in the northwest.

These farmlands have been specially divided and loosened, making them look presentable.

But it has not been sown yet and is reserved as a farming area.

Because of the onset of winter, these farmlands have to be temporarily idle again.

The industrial area in the southwest has many more buildings than the agricultural area in the northwest.

Manufacturing functional buildings including first-level tailor shop, second-level blacksmith shop, primary alchemy workshop, bakery, brewery, and primary pharmacy are neatly arranged in this area.

Following this direction, Zong Shen came to the southeast.

This is a living area, and all residential buildings have been moved here.

The first-level huts in the territory have been completely replaced by higher-end folk houses and stone houses.

And Mariel added some more in the past two days.

There are currently 20 three-story stone houses and 68 second-story folk houses in the living area of ​​the territory.

In comparison, stone houses are more spacious and sturdier, but the cost is also much more expensive.

The buildings are divided into two rows along simple roads in the living area.

In addition, there are six simple toilets in the living area, divided into three for men and three for women.

This was also stamped by Mariel herself.

As the territory's population increases, two simple toilets cannot meet the needs of the territory's residents.

The kobold tribe has moved into the mines, which is enough to meet the living needs of the territory.

But after the more than 400 refugees promised by Baron Bezos arrived.

It is necessary to continue to expand the residential areas in the living area.

Continue walking to the north and you will see the northeastern area of ​​the territory.

This is the future commercial district, where the tavern, second-level kitchen, and first-level medical center have all been moved.

The remaining buildings are concentrated in the central area and the ring military area.

Especially in the military zone, a number of buildings have been installed.

Buildings such as the Magic Palace], Watchtower], Level 1 Training Ground], Communication Crystal Tower], and Level 1 Territory Science and Technology Research Institute] are all placed in the military zone.

As for the central area, apart from the lord's courtyard, there is the primary farmland that has not yet been moved.

There is also the Moon Spring], the water cellar], the ice cellar modified by the cellar, a first-level market], a second-level market] and a fourth-level giant turret temporarily sitting in the center.

In the south of the inner city, close to the simple city wall, there are also those epic buildings and incomplete wonders.

The tall statue of the God of Artisans and the Wonders of the Thunder Field both stand here.

The super high coverage area of ​​these buildings is enough to include the entire territory within the scope of the effect.

Those red gold barrier pillars were placed at eight locations on the edge of the territory.

In the past two days, the team of trainee masters have been charging the red gold pillar.

Most of those functional buildings are located on the periphery of the military zone of the territory.

Gradually extend and fill outward.

Further away in the four directions, some defense tower matrices are set up.

Two matrix areas are arranged in each azimuth area.

Different defense towers are configured in it.

Configuration 1: Thunder Tower × 1, Moon Blade Tower × 1, Giant Crossbow Tower × 1, Holy Light Tower × 1, Necronomicon Tower, and Level 3 Elemental Arrow Tower × 3.

Configuration 2: Moon Blade Tower × 1], Giant Crossbow Tower × 1], Holy Light Tower × 1], three first-level elemental arrow towers], second-level elemental arrow tower × 1], ancient guardian × 1]

Configuration 1 was placed about one kilometer away from the arc-shaped boundary of the territory.

Configuration two is one kilometer behind configuration one.

Currently, the area of ​​each region is the same, 43.175 square kilometers.

The closer to the central area, the smaller the range, and the closer to the periphery, the larger.

This arrangement is sufficient to form two coverage circles in each area.

Prioritize the protection of buildings in the area, and eventually form an encirclement around the center of the territory through the coverage of the arrow tower.

The overall layout is quite good.

Of course, there are still many defensive details that need to be filled in.

This needs to be done step by step as the territory develops.

Zong Shen circled around the central area and had a good idea of ​​the overall layout of the territory.

"The planning is good. I can already see the prototype of the city."

"But now each area is far away from the central area."

"Especially the living area, which will be the main cold shelter area for the rulers in the winter challenge."

"We have to temporarily modify the supply strategy in the challenge."

"Each of the houses and stone houses will be directly distributed with enough food and water to last for four to five days."

"Set up a small heater and prepare pine tar blocks and wood."

"In addition, first-order city walls should be built in the north, east and south directions of the living area to block the cold wind."

Zong Shen stood with his hands behind his hands and said loudly.
