Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

But what Zong Shen cares about is the equipment and materials obtained from the ruins.

What Baron Bezos needs more is to discover the historical traces hidden in the ruins.

After the expedition and excavation issues were finalized, Zong Shen thought about the distribution of relic materials.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate, and he pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Sir, how should the items obtained from the ruins be distributed?"

"I'm referring to the equipment and magic items left behind."

He thought for a while, and it was really hard to talk about the issue of profit distribution.

It's somewhat utilitarian to say it now.

But it would be even more embarrassing if we waited until the ruins were successfully excavated before discussing it.

So it is better to put this matter on the table and have a good talk before exploring.

This question seems to be something Baron Bezos expected.

He smiled and lowered his head in thought for a moment.

After about four or five minutes, he raised his head and looked at Zong Shen.

"Brother Zong, regarding the distribution of relic items, why not divide them equally."

"The Lion Knights are all fifth-level knights, and their standard equipment is valuable."

"There is a huge need for this in our state too."

Baron Bezos said bluntly that he was not prepared to make too many concessions in this exploration, because the city also needed this batch of high-end standard equipment.

Even if the army under his command is not available, the Dragonborn Knights dedicated to the giant city are still a good choice.

Zong Shen could understand. He was a little disappointed, but he still nodded.

Seemingly seeing through Zong Shen's thoughts, Baron Bezos added.

"On the issue of distribution of standard equipment, I really can't make concessions."

"But for special magic items, in addition to the books and strategic layouts left over from the past, I will give you priority to choose magic items or ancient items."

Apart from standard equipment, Baron Bezos doesn't have much interest in other things.

This is true even for magical objects.

Regarding this plan, Zong Shen had no choice but to nod.

The specifics actually depend on how many sets of standard equipment are left in the station ruins.

The ancient fifth-level knights wore equipment that was at least above the rare level.

Zong Shen estimated that it would be between rare and legendary.

However, Baron Bezos has mentioned this. Although he desires it in his heart, he will not break the agreement.

"Then everything will go according to Mr. Bezos's plan."

"It's late at night, it's time for me to rest."

"Mr. Bezos, please rest early."

Zong Shen took the initiative to stand up, bowed slightly in greeting, and prepared to leave.

But Baron Bezos stretched out a hand.

"Brother Zong!"

Hearing this call with a slightly heavy tone, Zong Shen couldn't help but stand firm and looked at him intently.

Looking forward to what Baron Bezos has to say next.

"We are friends, right?"

This is really a strange question, Zong Shen is a little confused.

But Baron Bezos can definitely be regarded as his friend among the indigenous people.

Speaking of sincerity, it is even higher than Mr. Mars.

After all, his favorability is close to that of Max.

"Of course, we are friends."

Zong Shen thought for a while and said seriously.

Hearing his affirmative answer, Baron Bezos smiled happily.

"If Bosbon is in trouble in the future."

"I hope you can help me."

"At least please promise to protect my wife and children."

Baron Bezos stood up and said sincerely.

Hearing what he said, Zong Shen couldn't help but feel confused.

Why do these words sound like last words?

"Sir, why do you have such a request?"

"Bosband is developing so well that stability in the next few decades will not be a problem."

Zong Shen raised his doubts from the perspective of the indigenous people.

But Baron Bezos just shook his head after hearing this.

"You should know better than me..."

"Okay, brother Zong Shen, let's go and rest."

"There are housekeepers and maids on standby on the fourth floor. They will guide you to the guest room."

Baron Bezos suddenly sat back in his chair, unwilling to explain more.

Zong Shen could only put away his inquiring mind, turned around and left the study.

Walk up the stairs towards the fourth floor of the castle.

He actually understood what Baron Bezos meant.

Because he has long known things about the Chosen Son from ancient books.

The recent illegal settlements near Bangcheng and even throughout the kingdom have made him understand some of the situation.

Likewise, there must be high-level officials within the kingdom who are aware of this.

Whenever the chosen one appears, it represents the reshuffle of forces and the end of the old era.

This not only means that a new era is about to begin, but also that unknown chaos and terror are coming.

So Zong Shen understood very well why Baron Bezos said those words.

This guy is the sanest among the aborigines.

If the current structure of the kingdom is broken and great chaos occurs, Bosbon will not be able to survive alone.

Even though a state city has a population of hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of state troops, and dozens of villages.

But it is simply vulnerable in a war that may affect the entire region.

Only those giant cities can become the rock in the chaos and have the qualification to stand.

Small cities are simply vulnerable. Let alone the end of the era, even during the Kingdom War, cities and villages were wiped out like ashes.

In particular, Bosbon is an open city, with no dangerous cliffs or walled fortresses.

In peacetime, open cities have great advantages, and the current situation has indeed proved this. The prosperity of Boss State is unquestionable in the city.

But it was no use; once the chaos began, Bosbon was like a canoe in a storm.

Therefore, the purpose of Baron Bezos’ previous remarks is self-evident.

This guy should have figured out the identity of Zong Shen's chosen person soon after the contact.

When Zong Shen took the initiative to show his goodwill to him, he also conveyed his goodwill silently.

After thinking about what he said, Zong Shen couldn't help but feel a little sad.

When he stepped onto the fourth floor of the castle, there were already maids and housekeepers waiting by the stairs.

The polite butler guided him to his exclusive guest room.

The maids began to fill the bathtub with water.

Originally, the guest room did not have this kind of service, but when I came back last time, I asked for a shower.

So the housekeeper recorded it.

At the same time, the housekeeper also offered to help him clean his armor.

Zong Shen readily agreed. With the strategy module on hand, he was not afraid that the butler would take away his equipment and not come back.

He took off his battle armor, battle helmet, leg armor and combat boots, and handed these equipment into the hands of the steward.

Zong Shen was wearing linen underwear and stood directly on the terrace.

The room he stayed in was more spacious than the last time he stayed, and it also had a large terrace.

Standing on the terrace you can enjoy the breeze and overlook the entire city.

This is the center of Bosbon's power and geographical center.

Zong Shen leaned on the stone railing of the terrace and looked at the brightly lit streets of Bangcheng in the distance.

The thoughts in my heart are flying further and further.

He didn't turn around and leave the terrace until the maid prepared hot water for his bath.

The guest room is equipped with a dedicated bathroom with a large bathtub inside.

It has been filled with hot water, and neat white towels hang beside the bucket.

In addition, there are four young and beautiful maids wearing black and white maid uniforms standing by.

There are buckets of hot water at their feet to supplement the bathtub.

"My lord, we will bathe and change your clothes."

When Zong Shen walked into the bathroom, the leading maid quickly bowed and said.

"No, you all can go out."

"Send my armor back soon."

Zong Shen has no interest in this. Rest is rest, and enjoyment is enjoyment.

All he wanted now was to take a good bath and then have a good sleep.

Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock they will set out to explore the remains of the Lion Knights' station.

The meaning of these maids is self-evident and full of the meaning of "service".

It's a pity that Zong Shen is an ultimate pragmatist and has little interest in this.

After listening to his words, the maids did not force themselves, they all bent down and bowed to leave.

Their maid uniforms were all low-cut, so when they saluted, a large area of ​​white was revealed.

Zong Shen shifted his gaze, and after they all left, he took off his underwear and walked to the big bathtub.

Carefully, he lifted his legs and stepped into the tub.

This bathtub is very large, like a small bathtub, and can accommodate five or six people bathing together.

Zong Shen entered it, squatted down slowly like taking a bath in a hot spring, and leaned against the edge of the tub.

The temperature of the bath is just right, much hotter than the hot spring pool in the territory.

However, considering that this thing cannot be continuously heated and will only gradually become colder, this temperature is just right for a bathtub.

Zong Shen closed his eyes comfortably and relaxed his nerves completely.

After soaking for about ten minutes, I picked up the towel hanging by the tub and started scrubbing.

After he had washed up, dried his body, and put on a new set of underwear, the butler had already had his armor cleaned.

Zong Shen put away the cleaned armor and equipment, closed the door and lay down on the bed.

The beds in the castle are very soft, with goose down quilts and silk bedding.

Zong Shen lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.

…

The next day, at 6 o'clock in the morning, Zong Shen opened his eyes.

These five or six hours of sleep were enough for him.

He and Bezos agreed to set off at eight in the morning, so they would need to assemble at 7:30.

Considering that we still need to have breakfast and so on, getting up at six o'clock is not too early.

The first thing he did when he got up was to take out the communication crystal and contact Vereesa, asking her to gather everyone in the lobby on the first floor.

After arranging this matter, Zong Shen slowly washed his face with the spare bath water that had cooled in the wooden barrel yesterday, and then began to get fully equipped.

He put on his battle armor neatly, made sure nothing was missing, and left the guest room.

The warriors rallied faster than he could.

When he arrived on the first floor, Vereesa and the others were already sitting firmly in the hall.

Baron Bezos also got up early and is not in the castle now.

However, he had already ordered the butler and asked the chef to prepare breakfast.

Now all those exquisite breakfast snacks were brought to the round table in the hall.

Zong Shen was naturally not polite and led the soldiers to eat and drink.

People are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat a meal, you won't be hungry.

After finishing this meal, the next meal is on the way.

There are no such good conditions in the wilderness, so we can only use those durable military rations as dry food.

Zong Shen was not polite, and the soldiers were naturally not polite.

The breakfast on the round table was quickly eaten.

After they finished eating, it was almost seven o'clock in the morning, and Baron Bezos finally returned to the castle.

Today, he is wearing a silver-white standard armor. It looks like it should be the same armor as a fourth-level swordsman of Avalon. Its attributes range from excellent to rare.

The golden dragon roaring emblem on the chest is particularly conspicuous.

Speaking of which, Baron Bezos had a somewhat different power after putting on the armor.

There are two long swords hanging on his waist, which are in line with the dual-wielding style of a fourth-level strong swordsman.

It seems that Baron Bezos should have received training as a strong fencer when he was young.

Zong Shen's eyes turned and he couldn't help but check his detailed attributes.

It was found that his actual attributes and skills were between third-level warriors and fourth-level warriors.

It's not that he's in a weak state, at least he shouldn't be in trouble during this expedition.

This combat power is enough to fight side by side with other accompanying fourth-level warriors.

At critical moments, he will have a certain ability to protect himself.

Having such strength is enough.

After all, there is no need for Baron Bezos to be the main player.

"Sir, are you back?"

Zong Shen took the initiative to stand up and greet him.

After putting on his military uniform, Baron Bezos' eyes were as calm as water.

"Brother Zong, I just went to prepare the manpower."

"Everyone has been summoned now."

"Everyone has gathered at the castle."

"The airship has also been mobilized."

Baron Bezos said neatly. After changing his appearance, his work style also changed slightly.

What he meant was simple: it was ready to go at any time.

It just so happened that Zong Shen and the others had already had a good breakfast.

It’s better to go on an expedition sooner rather than later. Although we have agreed to set off at eight o’clock, it is also a good thing to be able to prepare in advance.

"Okay, sir, we are ready."

"Let's gather now."

Hearing Zong Shen's answer, Baron Bezos nodded and turned towards the second floor.

Zong Shen led the soldiers out of the castle, during which everyone also solved personal problems.

Outside the castle, an airship with a pod about fifteen meters long was parked on the grass.

The general structure of this airship is similar to the goblin airship in Zong Shen's hands.

The difference is in size and style.

Zong Shen's goblin airship was a small airship.

The air bag is made of ground animal skin and has a very rough appearance.

The bat-wing-like wing sails and knife wheels have obvious goblin characteristics.

This airship is obviously a product of the human race, and the airbag is quite satisfactory.

There are six sets of turbofans below, each set is smaller than the turbofans of the goblin airship.

In addition, there is no weapon system like a knife wheel.

The wing sails are in the shape of a sail and are distributed on both sides and the top.

Zong Shen was very interested in this look.

He walked around the airship a few times and discovered some mysteries.

This airship is not without a weapon system, but its type is different from the goblin airship.

Zong Shen saw a wind magic gem and a fire magic gem on the wing sails on both sides.

The quality is not high, only elementary.

Underneath these two gems is a silver-white magic disk.

The magic disks on both sides have fixed secret lines connected to the pod.

This thing is fixed on the sail, and it should be the weapon system.

Other than that, there is nothing worthy of praise.

There were about thirty workers next to the airship, lifting square luggage boxes onto the airship.

Dozens of shovels and pickaxes were piled nearby.

Although Baron Bezos has space to store props, he won’t use them to hold them.

Because the internal storage space is very limited.

His space storage item is not even comparable to the [Hiking Merchant's Badge].

In fact, if Zong Shen gets more space storage props, he can consider selling them to the aborigines. Even excellent quality space storage props can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dinars.

Zong Shen and his soldiers stood aside silently, just observing.

The two teams of fourth-level warriors in the city have already assembled.

A fourth-level swordsman paired with a fourth-level ranger is a good combination.

It wasn't until fifteen minutes later that Baron Bezos walked out of the castle.

He held some albums in one hand, and raised his other hand to wave vigorously.

"All aboard!"

"Brother Zong, you can take the first step."

"Here is the road map I just sketched. "

"The most eye-catching thing about the destination is the bend of the lake."

"As long as there is no problem with the direction, it can be easily discovered."

"If you are not sure, you can also choose to follow the airship."

Baron Bezos first gave the order to board the boat, and then walked up to Zong Shen.

Put a simple copy of the map into his hand.

Baron Bezos naturally wanted to take the first step.

Yingjiang's speed is much faster than that of the airship. It would be a waste and torture for them to follow the airship's grinding progress.

"Okay, sir, let's rush to the ruins first."

"When you arrive, try to dig out some of it first."

Zong Shen nodded and readily agreed.

He glanced at the simple map in his hand, and with Baron Bezos's confirmation, he led the soldiers to climb onto Yingjiang's back.

He directly locked the location of the ruins through the strategy module and passed the order to set off to Yingjiang.

Yingjiang, who stayed outside the castle for a whole night, was already exhausted.

Although this guy is smart, he is still a beast of prey.

Hunting and flying are its nature.

Now I can finally soar into the sky.

While the airship was still starting up, Yingjiang had already flapped his wings and left Bosbon.

It quickly rose to an altitude of 4,000 meters, and then flew north according to Zong Shen's instructions!
