Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Originally, Vereesa was the second-in-command in the territorial military power.

However, with the rise of Luna and Doris, and the increase in the number of territory warriors.

All of this has changed.

As a Windrunner, a powerful ancient ranger, Vereesa will be responsible for managing the archer troops in the territory, while Madeline or Mapel after advancement will be responsible for managing the dragonborn ranger team.

This is the team policy that Zong Shen has always pursued, one unit per unit.

Then gradually replenish each detachment to full strength, or even divide it into more detachments like the Wolf Cavalry.

Until it becomes a squadron or a brigade.

A squad consists of 12 people, a squadron has 10 squads, and a group has 10 squadrons.

In other words, there are 1,200 people in each brigade establishment.

Ten brigades can form a standard legion, that is, people.

If the legion is strengthened, there will often be three to five more squadrons.

This is the standard for infantry corps and archer corps, but the standards for cavalry corps and mage corps are different.

Squads, squadrons, and brigades are all the same, but at the legion level, the number of five squadrons is equivalent to a cavalry regiment and a mage corps.

Zong Shen's early and mid-term goal is of course to develop each unit from squad to squadron to brigade.

Even if there is a chance in the future, we must have one or several complete legions.

After checking the six items of special props, there are still recruitment scrolls and blueprints left.

Among them, there are seven recruitment scrolls, and there are also twelve manufacturing and construction drawings.

These recruitment scrolls are all fourth-level recruitment scrolls, and the corresponding reward level is exactly the rare level.

Normally, that would be equivalent to the highest reward in a silver treasure chest.

Before this time, Zong Shen had never issued a recruitment coupon for the fourth-level troops.

I don’t know whether it’s because there are too few silver treasure chests that have been opened, or because the previous rewards for recruitment coupons were limited.

No matter what the reason is, Zong Shen has now issued a fourth-level recruitment scroll.

And this wave has harvested seven, which is equivalent to seven powerful fourth-level warriors.

These seven drawings cover three different arms.

They are [Level 4 Intermediate Water Mage × 2], [Level 4 Intermediate Rodock Sergeant × 4], [Level 4 Intermediate Space Mage × 1]

What deserves attention is the mid-level space mage, which is a relatively rare mage among mages.

Seeing the space system, Zong Shen thought of the butler Isido whose limbs were shot off by Vereesa.

That guy is a person with a talent for space magic, but unfortunately he has not gone through professional study and practice. If he is sent to the Giant City Mage Tower to receive instruction, he should be able to become a popular space mage.

Although the space system and time system are extremely rare, the grading standards used are still the same as those of mages of other systems, but the number is really small.

A huge city cannot even gather a few teams, only the imperial city may have slightly more.

Apart from this, there are only two mysterious church organizations, the Temple of Space and the Temple of Time.

The elements themselves are not high or low, but rare elements can have even rarer properties.

This is why rare things are valuable.

In fact, any elemental magic system that reaches a high level will have terrifying destructive power.

High-level fire mages can melt space, and high-level water mages can erode time.

This principle is just like the same principle that caliber is justice and quantity is truth on earth.

Although there is no distinction between high and low, the space system and the time system have many unique skills.

Take the space department as an example. "Space teleportation", "space confinement", "opening up space nodes", and "breaking space barriers" are all the signature abilities of this department.

Needless to say, the time system, "reversing the timeline", "time stagnation", and "changing the flow of time" are all famous special abilities.

The more tyrannical the ability, the greater the involvement, and the more shackles there will be.

For example, the so-called "reversing the timeline", the longer the reversal lasts and the more events and characters are involved, the more difficult it is to reverse the timeline, like Zong Shen's title skill [Miracle Reappearance].

Being able to reverse the timeline of the entire domain for 24 hours is definitely a super skill that shakes the underlying rules of the world. This is the biggest trump card he currently holds in his hand, and it is also an explosive method.

At the critical moment, it is enough to rewrite the ending. If you go back to 24 hours ago, you can make a lot of preparations and arrangements in advance, and accurately predict the danger.

His strategy module cannot predict unknown events, and can only rely on the lord system itself to obtain information and situations that are known or have already occurred.

To sum up, this fourth-level intermediate space mage is definitely a treasure.

According to the rating of the mage tower, only those who have mastered at least one level 4 related skill can be rated as a level 4 mage.

Shen doesn't care about the other fourth-level recruitment files, but he must pay attention to the space system ones.

He collected the [Fourth-Level Water Intermediate Mage] and [Fourth-Level Rodock Sergeant] recruitment scrolls together with the previous twenty-six recruitment scrolls.

In other words, a total of thirty-two recruitment scrolls will be kept until the end of winter before being opened.

Now he is preparing to recruit the [Fourth-Level Intermediate Space Mage].

Because it was difficult for Zong Shen to suppress his curiosity.

This is a rare unit in the recruitment roll, a mysterious and powerful space magician!

Thinking of this, he quickly walked to the empty seat next to the living room.

He wants to recruit space mages here.

Anyway, there are still a lot of empty rooms in the lord's small building, which is just one more mouth to eat.

He held the recruitment scroll in his hand and chose to activate recruitment.

Then the recruitment roll, which was starting to get hot, was thrown into the open space in front of him.

Zong Shen could feel an inexplicable energy pulsating in the recruitment scroll in his hand.

The moment the recruitment scroll landed, a gray space vortex exploded.

The gray chaotic vortex spread to a person's height in an instant.

All light stopped abruptly in front of this vortex.

The surrounding space began to pull, as if a curtain was being pulled apart.

Fortunately, this space vortex is only used to induce the spatial singularity and does not really destroy the space.

Zong Shen couldn't help but took a few steps back, while Luna behind him was also watching.

Judging from the momentum of recruitment alone, it is enough to prove the mystery of space mages.

Moreover, fourth-level warriors are inherently higher-end than third-level warriors.

Level 2 and 3 warriors can be considered the main force.

The fourth and fifth levels are fully high-end combat capabilities, as for the sixth level and above units.

They are the absolute elite among aces in the entire continent.

After this space vortex lasted for about four or five seconds, the spatial singularity officially appeared.

A huge gray cocoon was left in place, with gray mist surging on the surface.

This is a mysterious and great process. The recruitment scroll is communicating with the singularity hidden in an unknown dimension, awakening the warriors who have been dusted for many years.

After more than ten seconds, the gray cocoon began to burst, and cracks spread like spider webs.

The entire gray cocoon began to crack, and pieces peeled off, turning into gray light as they fell, and disappeared in a flash.

After the gray cocoon dissipated, a rickety figure with a height of only 1.5 meters appeared on the spot.

She has silver hair, and her face is covered with wrinkles and sagging skin that has lost collagen.

The rickets in the back were exaggerated, almost reaching 70°.

Speaking of first impressions, this intermediate space mage is far from what Zong Shen imagined.

Judging by her age, she was at least an old lady in her seventies or eighties, and she was also a hunchback lady with spinal lesions.

After so many recruitments, Zong Shen has already understood that the recruitment rolls will not only summon those young and powerful warriors, but also middle-aged or elderly people.

But the person in front of him was clearly a crooked melon and a cracked jujube, which made him a little disappointed, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

However, when they first met, Zong Shen did not show these inappropriate emotions.

A slightly stiff smile appeared on his face.

I saw this old lady wearing a blue-grey robe, and the fabric looked a little old.

It's like the original light blue fabric has been severely faded after being washed hundreds of times.

This makes the robe look a bit plain.

Her staff is a typical long staff. In her hand, it looks like a cane made of dead wood, without any magic gems inlay.

There is just an irregular multi-faceted cube on the top, about the size of an egg.

It looks turbid gray, neither translucent nor reflective.

From the appearance, this mid-level mage of the space system can only be described as ordinary.

It stands to reason that most of the standard equipment of fourth-level warriors is between excellent and rare levels. Even some tyrannical forces will be equipped with rare-level equipment for fourth-level soldiers.

But looking at her robe and staff, at least on the surface, they are not even as good as those of third-level junior mages.

Are space mages so shabby?

Zong Shen murmured in his heart, his eyes wandering, waiting for the other party's oath.

She was seen walking towards Zong Shen, leaning on crutches and hunched over.

Just looking at this staggering look made Zong Shen feel embarrassed.

If it were really on the battlefield, wouldn't it be necessary for her to carry eight large sedans?

It's no wonder Zong Shen has such thoughts. In fact, anyone who sees her will have such thoughts.

In order to save time, Zong Shen took the initiative to take two steps forward and came to her.

"Great lord..."

"I see the light of the world in you."

"Swear by the boundless walls of endless space, infinite dimensions, and fearlessness."

"Rise Ulysses pledges her allegiance to you."

She held her long staff and prepared to kneel down on one knee.

The sound coming out of her mouth was like an obscure rubbing sound, not pleasant at all.

Just when she was about to kneel down, Zong Shen reached out to help her up.

"Welcome to join us."

"Rise Ulysses, the glory of the territory will belong to you."

He said simply, fearing that she would not be able to kneel down.

When Zong Shen grabbed her arm, he could feel that it was like a dry branch under the robe.

God knows what happened to this guy, her flesh and blood seemed to have been exhausted.

It's like the result of extreme aging, more like a necromancer than a necromancer!

Zong Shen was really worried that this guy's time was running out. Wouldn't this be a loss of blood?

He retracted his thoughts and looked at the intermediate space mage in front of him worriedly, trying to check her detailed attributes.

Suddenly, Reese Ulysses spoke slowly.

She raised her old head and showed a scary smile.

"Are you concerned about my health, sir?"

"My skin is really weak."

"perhaps…"

Before she finished speaking, a blue-gray light flashed in front of her.

The next moment, a voice came from behind Zong Shen.

"...because I haven't used it for too long."

"You should understand that there is no difference between the body and the puppet made of metal."

"If it is not used for too long, it will age easily."

Zong Shen suddenly looked back and saw that she had appeared at the long table.

The smile on his face became even more unpredictable.

Good guy, it looks like she has mastered the short-distance space shuttle.

Now Zong Shenke became interested. He walked forward slowly and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zong Shen began to quickly check her related attributes, and Zong Shen's curiosity was successfully aroused.
