Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

He pinched his chin.

I decided to give this kid another chance.

“According to the laws of the Kingdom, ownership of settlements rests with individuals.”

"Even your father has to admit this."

"He even gave me a magic flag as a gift."

Zong Shen said in a calm tone, with impeccable reasoning and evidence.

"Arrogant guy."

"This place is not even comparable to a village, how dare you call yourself a lord?"

"In front of you is Lord Hadro, son of Baron Bezos and captain of the Bosbon Rangers."

"According to the laws of the kingdom, you should salute me!"

Hadro said with an arrogant expression, not even looking at Zong Shen squarely, tilting his head slightly.

Zong Shen felt a little nervous at this time.

What is it that gives this kid so much hostility and unclear confidence?

This kid used a lot of useless names blindly, as if to scare him.

Baron Bezos already holds the lowest title. According to the tradition of aristocratic inheritance, the title will be downgraded from generation to generation. Logically speaking, this boy is still a civilian.

Because the title of Baron Bezos cannot be passed down from generation to generation, the baron will become a commoner.

As for the knighthood, Hadro probably hasn't obtained it yet, because he doesn't have any emblem issued by the knights on his chest.

Then it is obvious that he is talking nonsense.

Zong Shen's battle armor, boots, and leg armor were still stained with blood, but he didn't wear a battle helmet.

Because Dempsey’s territory was destroyed not long ago.

The explosion and the flames from the inferno left black smoke stains on his body.

Even as Zong Shen walked, there was a faint smell of fireworks.

Such a person is not easy to mess with just by looking at his posture, regardless of his status.

But Hadro is very hostile, which is what Zong Shen is confused about.

Seeing Zong Shen lower his head and stop talking, Hadro thought Zong Shen was frightened and couldn't help but smile proudly.

At this time, Luna stood beside Zong Shen. She had already noticed that something was wrong and was ready to stop Hadro's rude behavior.

Luna frowned with a serious expression. Just when she was about to speak, Hadro took the first step and put one hand on her chest, nodded slightly to her and said.

"Dear Luna."

"Did you see it?"

"This is the Lord you call me."

"I think you should consider what I said before and follow me to Bosbon."

Hadro stretched out his hand, trying to take her hand.

Luna took two steps back, with an unhappy look on her face.

At this time, Zong Shen raised his head.

He turned his head and looked at Luna, then looked at Hadro and suddenly understood everything.

So this is where this kid’s hostility comes from!

"Hadro."

Zong Shen suddenly called him, and when he turned his head, he pointed at this guy's head.

"I think there seems to be something wrong with you!"

In front of Luna, Zong Shen said this to him, which made this guy lose his temper.

"Discourteous Diaomin!"

"you want…"

Hadro shouted angrily, as if he was seriously offended.

This is a typical disease of aristocratic people who have no aristocratic destiny.

In fact, when he was ordered to lead people to support Kunir, he was as honest as a prairie cow in the pasture, and he seemed quite fawning.

Now maybe it's because of Luna, or maybe it's because he looks down on Zong Shen's territory.

Today's performance highlights a clear contrast.

He treated the knight captain in the giant city with flattery, but his treatment of Zong Shen was completely different.

But before he could say his scolding words, Zong Shen suddenly punched him.

This punch hit Hadro directly in the face, and the next moment Hadro flew backwards.

"Bang!"

Nose blood splashed out and scattered on the ground, and Hadro fell onto the long table.

The plates with leftovers on the table were knocked around.

Even the long table was knocked to one side and tilted several meters.

【-117】

A huge damage value emerged from his head.

Even without using any weapons, Zong Shen's power cannot be underestimated in hand-to-hand combat with just fists.

Hadro was stunned, and the lightly-armed riders at the long table were also stunned.

Luna also took out the moon blade at this time, and Mariel also took a few steps back and clutched the communication crystal on her chest.

When the conflict was about to break out, Luna and Mariel firmly stated their stance.

"Get out!"

"Or be thrown out by me!"

Zong Shen stepped forward with his bare hands.

The lightly-armed riders immediately drew their swords.

Suddenly, the hall of the lord's small building was filled with the clanging sound of swords being drawn.

Suddenly there was an atmosphere of tension.

Zong Shen was not afraid of this. He stepped forward with a slight smile on his face.

These second-level lightly-armed riders, let alone riding horses, were no match for Zong Shen even if they were allowed to mount their horses.

The current Zong Shen's single combat power is very powerful, far better than ordinary overlord-level monsters.

On this occasion, the aura of blood and fire on his body also burst out.

This was a real fight with blood, and it was not something someone like Hadro could compare to.

Speaking of which, Baron Bezos is obviously so knowledgeable and rational, and his treatment of others makes people feel like spring breeze.

But this eldest son is such a idiot.

"Isn't he his biological child?"

Zong Shen suddenly thought of a possibility.

Looking at Hadrow's hair color, it seems that it is different from Baron Bezos.

Compared to Zong Shen's mighty and domineering attitude, Hadro only felt that he was under a lot of pressure.

The punch just now almost knocked him unconscious and caused damage to his body.

Now he only felt that his nose and cheeks were numb, and he was speechless even if he wanted to speak.

Hadro opened his mouth slightly, and his cheeks were visibly swollen.

In his eyes, Zong Shen was not a human being, but a humanoid furbolg.

The lightly-armed riders raised their swords and surrounded Zong Shen.

Hadro was frightened and fell to the ground, leaning against the long table without moving.

Zong Shen took out two finger tigers and put them on his left and right hands respectively, and his eyes darkened.

The atmosphere at the scene is becoming more and more tense, and a full-scale conflict is about to break out!

At this time Hadro suddenly stretched out his hand.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... let's go..."

He spoke inarticulately, as if to say, "Let's go."

Zong Shen stopped approaching.

The lightly-dressed riders looked at each other, quickly helped him up, and walked around Zong Shen.

Not to mention Hadro, these light riders were also under a lot of pressure just now.

Zong Shen did not stop them, watched them leave, and winked at Luna.

Luna understood immediately and followed slowly out.

Not long after, there was a sound of people tumbling on their backs from outside.

He must have seen Yingjiang wandering outside the courtyard.

Luna returned to the house more than ten minutes later.

At this time, Zong Shen was already sitting in the living room talking to Mariel.

Luna came to Zong Shen's side and bowed.

"Sir, they are leaving, heading towards the living area."

"The servants responsible for driving the oxen and carriages also left together."

Zong Shen nodded and patted the chair next to him.

"Sit down Luna, Mariel told me just now."

"This guy is responsible for escorting the refugee convoy."

"There is nothing wrong with you entertaining him."

Zong Shen had already learned the cause and effect from Marier just now.

Essentially, this guy is here on official business.

It can only be said that Hadro is too indifferent, or that Luna's charm is too great.

The only thing that can cause hostility between two men is a certain woman in the middle.

It was now past ten o'clock in the evening, and more than three hours had passed since he returned from Bossang.

Vereesa and Caniggia were standing by the door and had just witnessed the whole process.

"By the way, Luna, tomorrow we will take the soldiers and farmers to the original rogue camp."

"Bring two more magic drilling machines."

"There is a large Azshara ruins below the rogue camp."

"I'm going to take advantage of these few days to develop it."

Zong Shen turned to look at Luna and gave her a task.

"Okay sir."

Luna responded softly.

She clearly remembered that rogue camp.

She was the one who killed those dozen weak bandits back then.

It was also there that Zong Shen rescued several farmers. Old acquaintances from the territory, such as Sanpang, Xiaoping, and Erya, joined the territory at that time.

"There are no other tasks for the time being."

"Settlement these refugees as soon as possible and complete the selection of talents."

Zong Shen looked at Luna and then at Mariel. After a few final words of explanation, he stood up.

Before it was too late tonight, he had to rush back to Bosbon.

Luna and Mariel stood up to see each other off.

Zong Shen looked back and gave Luna an encouraging look, then led Vereesa and the others out of the lord's courtyard again.

At this time, Yingjiang was folding his wings and walking around.

"Taka-chan, come here!"

Zong Shen called loudly, and after hearing his voice, Yingjiang ran over.

Not to mention, after spending a whole day together, this guy's loyalty increased by as much as 8 points.

After all, following Zong Shen is quite comfortable. You have to eat and drink, and you don't have to hunt by yourself.

Therefore, Yingjiang has now begun to show some affection toward Zong Shen.

Zong Shen looked at the eagle sauce in front of him and reached out to touch its upper abdomen.

The hard scales closed downwards, which didn't hurt the hand very much.

After a little comfort, Zong Shen nimbly climbed up to the back of Yingjiang's neck.

Tonight was really tiring, and even he couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.

After everyone was seated, Zong Shen waved to Luna and Mariel.

"We're off."

"Uh-huh!"

Eagle Sauce spread its wings and made a loud sound like an umbrella stretching.

The wings flapped slowly, and under the watchful eyes of Mariel and Luna, Eagle Sauce took off into the sky.

Zong Shen quickly left the territory on Yingjiang and flew towards the east.

During this period, he also saw Hadro's team of light riders leading dozens of ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages away from Zong Shen's territory.

Without a load, they should be able to get back to Bospan in two or three days.

By then Zong Shen estimated that he had completed exploring the ruins of the Lion Knights.

After flying for more than ten minutes on Yingjiang, Zong Shen chose a large open space and let Yingjiang land.

At the same time, he took out the [Thousand Kilometer Portal] and selected the space beacon numbered 1.

Suddenly, a blue light door 30 meters high and 15 meters wide appeared.

This size is enough for the eagle sauce, but it needs to shrink part of its wings appropriately.

The other end of the teleportation light gate is where the space beacon corresponds.

Five minutes after Yingjiang carried Zong Shen and the others through, the light gate gradually faded and finally disappeared.

And at the location of the beacon, a similar light door emerged.

Yingjiang glided out from it and started to rise into the sky.

There were no fluctuations or situations when crossing the portal.

The passage through the portal was completed almost instantly.

A teleportation of just a few hundred kilometers is nothing more than a joke to this [thousand-kilometer teleportation gate (orange)].

It is only twenty or thirty kilometers away from Bosibon.

Zong Shen took out the flag that Baron Bezos gave him when he left.

Let Yingjiang keep flying at a low altitude, and he flew directly into Bangcheng holding the flag.

With the flag opening the way, the archers on the arrow towers and high platforms in the city did not attack.

Zong Shen returned to the castle smoothly.

When Yingjiang landed on the ground, the butler and servants quickly came to greet him.

The housekeeper told Zong Shen that Baron Bezos was not asleep yet and was waiting for him in the study.

As for Favid, they have already arranged a room and are resting on the fourth floor of the castle.

It seemed that Baron Bezos still had something to say to him.

Vereesa and the others followed the castle steward's arrangements and also went to the fourth floor.

Only Zong Shen went directly to Baron Bezos's study alone.

Because of his strong request, he refused to be led by the steward.

The castle is very big, but Zong Shen has been to his study several times, so it's not like he can't find his way around.

Having just experienced a conflict with Hadro, Zong Shen also had a lot to say to him.

When he came to the study, Baron Bezos was looking at the map of Bosbon hanging on the wall and was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice that Zong Shen opened the door and entered.

"Ahem..."

"Lord Bezos!"

Zong Shen gently closed the study door and coughed.

Only then did Baron Bezos come to his senses and turned around.

His expression was serious, as if he was worried about something.

But it probably wasn't because of Hadro.

After all, they came back through the portal, and Hadro could only hurry along slowly on the road.

In addition, Zong Shen already knows a lot about Baron Bezos's character.

Even though he is just the governor of a certain city, his ambitions are more than that.

Moreover, he is an upright person and has a relatively erudite accumulation of knowledge.

He just needs to be honest, and Baron Bezos will not embarrass him about Hadro.

The most important point is that Zong Shen discovered that not only did he have a request, but Baron Bezos seemed to have another purpose behind getting close to him.

But this purpose should be harmless to him.

"Brother Zong, are you back?"

"The speed of the Great Griffin is indeed very fast!"

"Please take a seat."

Baron Bezos calmed down his thoughts a little, and a smile appeared on his face.

He said in surprise.

More than three hours had passed since Zong Shen left the table.

During this time he not only solved the problem, but also traveled more than a thousand kilometers back and forth.

In response, Zong Shen just nodded, with a slight smile on his face that was neither humble nor overbearing.

He walked to the desk, pulled out the armchair beside the desk and sat on it.

"Sir, I have something to tell you..."

Zong Shen clenched his fists, placed them on the table, and said calmly.

"oh?"

"Please tell me, brother Zong."

When Baron Bezos heard this, he completely turned around and sat at the head of the desk.

So Zong Shen told Bezos about the previous conflict with Hadro.

Baron Bezos frowned at first, but after patiently listening to Zong Shen's words, the expression on his face relaxed again.

"So that's what happened."

"That kid Hadro lacks discipline."

"Too much focus on superficial issues."

"And because of his age and past events, he is not currently married."

"This leads to him being more or less inclined to pursue outstanding alien appearances."

"Brother Zong, you did the right thing."

Baron Bezos explained with a worried look, and at the same time expressed his attitude at the end.

After all, Hadro only received a punch and his life was not in danger.

Moreover, Zong Shen also told all the causes and consequences. From any point of view, Baron Bezos could not blame him.

Unless Zong Shen dealt a cruel blow to Hadro and put his life in danger.

"I will tell you this."

"Just to prevent gaps in our friendship."

"He is your son after all."

Zong Shen nodded slightly, with an apologetic expression on his face.

Baron Bezos nodded in agreement, and then waved his hand.

"There is no need to mention the matter of Hadro's child."

"When he comes back, I will reprimand him."

"Next, I want to talk to you about the exploration plan."

"I'm ready to leave at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"According to the speed of the airship, it can arrive in about six hours, which is around four o'clock in the afternoon."

"According to my early explorations, most of the ruins have been buried underground."

"In addition, there is a group of shallow-water fishmen in the lake next to the ruins, so you need to be careful."

"That population has been breeding there for hundreds of years, and they lived there when I was young."

Baron Bezos took advantage of this meeting to tell some more detailed information.

Zong Shen listened and nodded seriously.

What he said was basically similar to what the guide suggested.

"I understand, sir."

"It just so happens that I have two magic energy drilling machines on hand, which should come in handy."

"In addition to the team of fourth-level warriors, I hope you can bring some laborers and prepare a batch of shovels and pickaxes to supplement the excavation."

Zong Shen crossed his hands to support his chin and put forward his own suggestion.

"Okay, Brother Zong."

"You don't have to worry about manpower."

"That medium-sized airship is enough to carry fifty or sixty people."

Baron Bezos accepted his suggestion without hesitation.

The two parties also hit it off in terms of exploration.
