Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Everyone listened to what Master Mars said.

It can only dispel the doubts in my heart.

Attributing the strange situation in Zong Shen's territory to his personal quirks.

Especially the three traveling merchants, the main thing they purchased in each village was food.

Naturally, it was inevitable to come into contact with many large farmers.

I have never seen this way of raising cattle.

Because the Lord's challenge was too shocking, completely beyond their imagination.

Even if they considered the evil ways, they could not imagine that there would be such a thing as a lord's challenge.

We are obviously in the same world, so how can we have different climates?

Their thinking limits their imagination.

In the end, the blame can only be placed on "Quirk".

Zong Shen looked at them without showing any strange emotions.

It's just weird, no explanation is needed, and no explanation is necessary.

Anyway, that's all the lord challenge is.

Zong Shen took the initiative to shake hands with them and say goodbye.

Standing on the loader mecha, I watched them get on the carriage and gradually leave.

Three traveling businessmen and Mr. Mars rode in the same car.

After leaving for several kilometers, the traveling businessman named Sherwood took the initiative to speak to Mars.

"Master Mars, this friend of yours is really special."

"Not only is he covered in armor, but he is also wearing such a heavy fur coat..."

The other two traveling merchants also looked at Mars with searching eyes.

I saw Mr. Mars tightening the package filled with dinars that was carried in front of him.

He smiled awkwardly.

"I'm not so sure either…"

"But he still has some strength."

"You will not suffer any loss if you cooperate with him."

Mars recalled Zong Shen's gesture of taking out millions of dinars with just a wave of his hand.

The expression on his face also became more upright.

Wealth is also a kind of power.

Hearing Master Mars say this, the three Sherwoods just smiled.

No comment on what he said.

…

After the snow stopped, the clouds in the sky became much thinner.

Zong Shen raised his head and glanced at the sky. The silver-white moon's light was reflected through the thin clouds.

The cold wind has disappeared and the surrounding temperature has risen slightly.

However, the temperature still did not rise above zero.

On the route that Zong Shen often travels.

Some of the snow has been crushed and re-accumulated, transforming from dry snow to wet snow.

Fortunately, the conversion scope is not large.

Most of the snow is still soft, light dry snow.

As long as the temperature doesn't suddenly spike above zero.

All this snow will remain as dry snow for several days.

The twenty cows on the spot were still mooing non-stop.

Because the ownership rights have not yet been assigned to Zong Shen, these cows will not be affected by the cold winter.

There is still a huge gap between the strength of the lords and the aboriginal forces.

This gap will cause serious hierarchical fragmentation.

If the lord system does not control the lord challenge, it will directly challenge without distinction.

Then it will definitely plunge the entire continent into complete chaos.

This kind of chaos will cause catastrophe to the lord who has just started to gain strength.

Facing the powerful aboriginal forces, no current lord can resist it.

Not even Zong Shen, who was vaguely the strongest among the lords.

Not to mention those giant cities, even a slightly powerful city like Bosbon has tens of thousands of city troops.

The crushing force of tens of thousands of troops, even if most of them are second-level warriors, cannot be stopped by his current territory.

After all, there is a difference between tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of unintelligent cave monsters.

Those soldiers have experienced hundreds of battles, and their levels far exceed the standard limit of level 10 for professional soldiers.

There are also all kinds of fancy ordnance to coordinate with.

It can definitely easily wipe out Zong Shen's current one-third-acre land.

Not to mention the other lords.

Moreover, the purpose of lord challenge is to sharpen the lord.

Accelerates the growth rate of all lords.

So no matter from the motivation of the lord system.

It’s still a realistic situation.

In the short term, the lord system will not spread the challenge to the indigenous people in the entire region.

Moreover, with the power of the lord system, it is not difficult to achieve complete non-interference.

But it seems that it just left such a flaw.

As contact between lords and Aboriginal people increased.

The performance of the lords in the challenge is definitely a very strange thing for the aborigines.

Combined with this situation, the lords all appeared suddenly.

It is not ruled out that wise men among the aboriginal people may have speculated on the existence of the lord system.

The world's great wonders.

The aborigines are not fools, Zong Shen thinks there is still a possibility of this.

This situation is not so much a flaw left by the lord system.

Rather, they are clues and omens.

The possibility of active loopholes in the Lord system is very small.

But through these days' experiences, Zong Shen has already discovered that every change in the lord system will leave clues and omens.

For example, before the end of the novice period, the weather that had been suppressed and locked began to change.

Before noon, large dark clouds had gathered.

Another example is that before the crypt challenge started, a closed crypt appeared 24 hours in advance.

This is also true for this winter challenge.

In fact, every time, the Lord System left obvious clues.

Then the difference in challenges between Aboriginal people and lords also has an answer.

Perhaps in the future, the strength gap between the lords and the aborigines themselves will be further shortened.

There will definitely be a new spark.

Zong Shen silently thought about it, and based on the arrival of the lord, there would definitely not be much change in this year and a half.

During this period of time, Zong Shen must try his best to establish good relations with some aboriginal forces.

At the same time, the territory will be developed to the state and city level.

Only in this way can we have sufficient confidence and certainty to cope with the big changes that may come in the future.

After reasoning quietly for a while, the feeling of grasping the context made him feel much better.

Although the strategy module saves trouble and effort, as long as there are certain clues, the answer can be fed back to him.

But there are some things where he trusts his own brain more.

After all, plug-ins are foreign objects and can only be used as tools and not as dependencies.

Therefore, he must keep his mind active at all times.

He won't ask the strategy module for most decisions about the territory.

It all relies on his own step-by-step exploration, which is a kind of training for his abilities.

He didn't want to become a "puppet" who relied solely on the guidance of the strategy.

Therefore, he only uses the strategy module to obtain information, but rarely lets the strategy module make decisions and plans on his behalf.

Put away these heavy thoughts.

Zong Shen personally walked through the snow and led all the pregnant cows into the pasture.

Because the grassland cattle, cows, and sheep belonging to him are all surrounded by each other, there is still a lot of space inside.

Zong Shen led them to the other end, as far away from the heater as possible.

Avoid temperatures that are too high to cause discomfort to them.

This contradictory situation made Zong Shen himself feel a little embarrassed.

After taking care of these cows, he left the [primary pasture].

Get on the loader mecha and go straight to the outside of the lord's courtyard.

After parking the loader mecha securely, he reached out and stored it.

Following the path that had been trampled repeatedly, he returned to the lord's small building.

In the hall, the magic chandelier that comes with the City Lord's Mansion is emitting a warm yellow light.

Luna, Vereesa, and Mariel were sitting on the long table chatting happily.

An iron pot in the kitchen was steaming "Puff Puff" on the stove.

I don't know what is cooking inside.

After seeing Zong Shen return, the three women stood up at the same time and bowed to Zong Shen.

Mariel and Vereesa took the initiative to go to the kitchen, turned off the stove, and took out the tableware.

In the pot is a whole pot of tomato puree.

Some diced beef was cut into it, and carrots and tomatoes were added.

As soon as the pot is opened, a strong sweet and sour smell comes out.

Tonight's menu is a bowl of tomato soup per person.

Pair it with Bossbond's military ration biscuits.

The four people sat quietly on the long table.

Only the sounds of chewing and swallowing kept the restaurant from being too quiet.

Zong Shen didn't say a word, and silently put the soup into his mouth with a spoon.

He had no habit of chatting while eating.

Except, of course, when attending those banquets.

Every time he took a few mouthfuls of soup, he would bite off a large piece of biscuit.

With the taste of tomato soup, chew it and swallow it.

"This tomato soup is pretty good."

"It's a pity that it can't compare with the food in my hometown."

Zong Shen wolfed down the food quickly.

For him, eating is a simple process of replenishment.

When he put down the soup bowl, he suddenly said with emotion.

"Today's tomato soup was made by Sister Luna..."

"I also helped with the ingredients..."

Mariel, who was sitting nearby, whispered.

I didn't hear the emotion in Zong Shen's words.

Zong Shen just smiled softly.

At this time, Luna also gently put down the soup bowl.

She keenly captured the key words in Zong Shen's words.

That is, hometown!

"Sir, where is your hometown?"

"Based on the information I got after unblocking."

"The chosen ones are those chosen by God."

"They come from other worlds."

Luna said slowly, after swearing allegiance to Zong Shen.

Her status changed from aboriginal to territorial citizen.

There will be some strange information in it.

Inform them that the lord's identity is the so-called Chosen One.

Because of the close relationship between the two, Luna will be more bold when talking to Zong Shen.

Hearing Luna's words, Zong Shen tilted his head slightly, with a reminiscing expression on his face.

"The place I come from is called Earth."

"It was a completely different world than here."

"Many, many times smaller than the Endless Continent."

"People can't train to become more powerful."

"There is no magic talent or magic element."

Zong Shen's words successfully attracted the attention of the three women.

Even Vereesa, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but open her eyes.

"Without magic, training is impossible..."

"Aren't the people on earth similar to the primitive people in the wilderness?"

Veresa spoke up for the rare occasion. She was used to this world and it was difficult for her to understand the situation Zong Shen described.

Even the weak forest fairies rely on the use of natural magic to make their lives easier.

Even rural farmers among humans can gradually become stronger as long as they join the military camp for training.

"We don't need training and magic."

“Because we have technology!”

"That's science and technology!"

Zong Shen raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

The expressions of the three women made him feel a little funny.

"Science \u0026 Technology?"

"It sounds like something similar to magic technology, rune technology, alchemy technology, and engineering."

This time it was Mariel who spoke.

Zong Shen turned his head and nodded approvingly.

"Roughly the same."

"But Earth's science and technology studies the rules of the world."

“From research to exploitation to mastery and creation.”

"Of course, we have barely completed the first and second steps so far."

He couldn't help but pause when he said this.

"We have powerful artillery, missiles, atomic weapons."

“The ability to build supercomputers with the computing power of countless engineers.”

"There are also land tanks that can fight heavy combat golems."

"Having a plane that is two or three times faster than any flying monster."

"We also harness electrical energy, which is like magic energy here in the Earth."

"However, electric energy is more popular, practical, and cheaper than magic energy."

"By the way, the most powerful atomic energy weapon on earth can easily reduce a huge city containing tens of millions of people to rubble."

"Not even an epic dragon can withstand such destructive power."

Zong Shen said with longing.

Based on his understanding, the epic dragon cannot withstand large-yield atomic weapons.

For example, a large-yield hydrogen bomb.

The energy released by atomic fusion can tear everything apart.

Both the sculpted magic shield and the arrogant body will be turned into fly ash.

All forces that can interfere with the material world must be universal.

Unlike other weapons in concept.

Atomic energy weapons have been developed for many years and serve as deterrent reserves for major countries.

This is the pinnacle of thousands of years of scientific and technological exploration by humans on earth.

In addition, there are many technological applications, involving almost every aspect of people.

After Zong Shen started talking, he was even more out of control.

The three women who heard this were startled.

Especially Vereesa and Luna, who were born professional warriors.

He was even more frightened by the terrifying atomic energy weapon.

Able to destroy giant cities with tens of millions of people in one blow, and reduce epic dragons to slag...

Perhaps only the legendary gods have such power.

Compared with atomic weapons.

Those legendary forbidden spells that require many great wizards to chant for a long time are nothing.

This made them suspicious.

Can mortals really master the power of gods?

One thing that is clear is that the night elves to whom Luna belongs are all believers of the Moon God.

What they believe in is the moon god Elune.

You can often get some inspiration from your sincere prayers.

But in this continent, there is rarely any interference from gods.

The presence of gods is generally very low.

The earth described by Zong Shen made the three girls feel very fresh.

This gave rise to endless curiosity.
