Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

At this time, the fish-men elders beside it spoke one after another.

"The Great Elder is right."

"Our ancestors have been fighting those guys for hundreds of years."

"According to what the previous elders said, when the tribe first moved here."

"Those hateful skeleton knights number in the hundreds."

"The weakest among them are comparable to us overlord-level elders."

"Those wearing golden armor are much stronger than the elders."

"Especially when they form a war and charge at the lake, it's a nightmare."

When it said this, all the fishmen present fell silent.

Although the fish-like head didn't have much expression feedback, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn.

Although since they withdrew from the south bank, the friction between the two sides has been greatly reduced.

But every ten or eight years, some skeleton knights will wake up.

Return to the surface and start killing.

The charges of these guys can harvest the lives of murlocs like mowing grass.

Not to mention ordinary murloc warriors, even the elite steel-forked murloc warriors and murloc breaker were skewered like candied haws when faced with the lance charge of the lion and skeleton knight.

Every hit has an instant kill effect.

However, the murlocs have strong reproductive abilities, and they can still enter the water if they cannot be beaten.

Use the advantage of numbers and some quagmire traps and the like.

Over the years, they have also killed thirty or forty lion and skeleton knights.

This reduced the total number of skeleton knights to less than sixty.

Therefore, this time can be regarded as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just in this decade or so, the number of murlocs has also increased significantly.

"This is our best chance to eradicate them."

"But casualties are certainly inevitable."

Another fishman elder gently nodded his huge fish head.

It wears an exaggerated shell necklace on its chest.

Each shell is half the size of a palm, with orbs of different colors embedded in it.

These orbs are about the size of eyeballs.

Fishmen are originally much smaller than humans.

Such a necklace would look exaggerated even if it were worn on a human body, let alone a fish-man.

As it nodded, droplets of transparent slime fell on the ground.

This situation is somewhat disgusting.

No wonder the ground here is always sticky and wet.

"This is the best opportunity."

"If we wait for them to come out and wreak havoc, we will still be passive."

"No matter what, let's deal with the skeleton knights left behind first this time."

"Benbu, you are responsible for conveying the elder's order and gathering all the soldiers."

The fishmen elders basically had the same view, so the elder in the middle once again made the decision.

After receiving its instructions, the captain-level fish-man nightwalker quickly exited the wooden house.

It's not like fishmen don't have so many complicated etiquette.

"Just kill the skeleton knights staying in the ruins."

"The rest will be much easier to deal with."

"Besides, we also need strong souls as sacrifices."

"By the way, that guy from Mountain Dew should have become the overlord-level controller."

"It's just a good time to see if there are any accessories suitable for it to wear in the ruins."

"In addition, his water condensation staff also needs to be polished."

The great elder spoke again, and all the fishmen elders nodded.

A large number of murloc warriors began to gather.

This process doesn't take long, but it still requires some preparation.

It is estimated that it will take about one to two hours to complete the full assembly of the fish-men warriors.

…

In the ruins of the cave.

The last passage is currently being excavated.

The entire underground ruins more than doubled in size due to their excavations.

The cleared soil and gravel were transported to the woods on one side.

Two hills of dirt were piled there.

Because of the cover of the woods, the fishman sentry could see the situation of the two mountains.

Facing this last passage in the ruins, Baron Bezos seemed very calm.

Like Zong Shen, he had a strong desire to return.

He has firmly believed that there must be what he needs in the golden treasure box.

Therefore, he wanted to return to Bangcheng quickly so that he could further study how to open the treasure chest.

In order to speed up the excavation of the ruins, he did not hesitate to add 5 dinars to the laborers' wages.

At the same time, Zong Shen was asked to urge the two sergeants Rodock who were responsible for driving the magic drilling machine.

And now that we are at the end of the excavation, there is no need to clean out the soil.

A lot of space has been opened up here to accommodate the broken soil.

Under such circumstances, it took more than an hour for the last channel to be cleared.

The harvest in this passage is also the standard equipment of the Lion Knights.

The number is quite large, there are 235 pieces in total, all of them are knights' full body armor.

Among them, the legendary ones account for about one-third of them.

There are 76 pieces in total.

There are 159 pieces of rare grade.

There is also a Silver status treasure chest.

At this point, the ruins have been thoroughly excavated.

Zong Shen also used the strategy module to check and confirmed that there was indeed nothing missing here.

Baron Bezos and Zong Shen both breathed a sigh of relief.

But now how to distribute this silver treasure chest is a problem.

After a simple test, Baron Bezos discovered that the characteristics of this silver treasure chest were exactly the same as that of the gold treasure chest, even the patterns on it were exactly the same.

So some doubts arose in his mind.

They even took out the gold treasure chest for detailed comparison.

This made him unsure which treasure chest contained what he wanted.

He has obtained the gold treasure chest at the cost of ceding 15% of the equipment distribution ratio.

It's not easy to get this silver treasure chest now.

And he is unwilling to give up the distribution ratio further.

Zong Shen saw the confusion of Baron Bezos.

He glanced at it and knew that this thing was a real treasure box and not a trap treasure box.

However, with Baron Bezos's current situation, it would be difficult for him to stay.

Anyway, a silver treasure chest can only contain rare items at most.

It is better to take advantage of it before distribution.

What kind of bad intentions could Mr. Zong have? He just wanted to get more equipment.

"Does Baron Bezos still want this treasure chest?"

"It's not impossible. You can use the assigned equipment to exchange for it."

Zong Shen took a few steps forward, walked behind Bezos, and said softly.

At this time, Baron Bezos was struggling. According to his opinion, he could not miss this treasure chest.

Now that Zong Shen took the initiative to bring it up, he was relieved.

"That's right, Brother Zong, let's decide on a price."

He turned around, faced Zong Shen and asked directly.

Regarding the price, Zong Shen had already considered it in his mind.

A silver treasure chest can usually yield five to six items.

If you are lucky, you will be able to get two rare items. Even if you are not lucky, you will still have one item guaranteed.

Considering that equipment may not necessarily be released, there may be blueprints, potions, props and other items.

The overall value is only about three or four pieces of rare equipment with clear attributes.

But he knew the details of the treasure chest, but Baron Bezos did not.

It was clear that Bezos was dazzled by the properties of the treasure chest.

That's why I wrapped all the treasure chests.

He lowered his head slightly, as if thinking.

After dozens of seconds of pretending to think, Zong Shen raised his head.

"Let's do this, twenty pieces of rare standard equipment and five pieces of legendary standard equipment."

"This treasure chest is yours."

Zong Shen pointed at the treasure box and quickly quoted a price.

Zong Shen was well aware of the gains from this exploration.

Not counting the 32 pieces of standard plate armor he got before.

During the excavation, they obtained a total of 546 pieces of standard equipment.

Among them, there are 125 pieces of legendary equipment, and the rest are rare.

This amount is not small.

It can be regarded as a batch of extremely valuable equipment among the aborigines and the lords.

Therefore, even if Baron Bezos can only allocate 35% of the equipment, it is enough to pay Zong Shen's request for a silver treasure chest.

The essential reason for this is poor information.

One party already knows the origin and confidence of the treasure box, while the other party is still immersed in the indestructible nature of the treasure box.

In addition, these treasure chests were all found in ruins, which is a different kind of evidence.

Therefore, in the mind of Baron Bezos, the value of these treasure chests is unlimited.

There is a slang saying that the unknown is the most expensive.

For this price, Baron Bezos only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

The two parties made the delivery on the spot.

Bezos put away the silver treasure chest.

And he took out all the equipment he had obtained before and started to distribute it.

After the initial distribution, Zong Shen received the following equipment.

[Lion Knight Spear (Purple) × 40]

[Lion Knight War Sword (Purple) × 60]

[Lion Knight Battle Sword (Orange) × 21]

[Lion War Horse Plate Armor (Purple) × 8]

[Lion Knight Armor (Purple) × 124]

[Lion Knight Armor (Orange) ×51]

This is the preliminary allocation. According to the agreement, Zong Shen can also choose twenty pieces of rare equipment and five pieces of legendary equipment.

For this purpose, he chose 10 rare-level spears and 10 rare-level knight swords.

Originally, he wanted 5 legendary swords, but they were rejected by Baron Bezos.

Because Bezos only received 11 legendary swords.

Under his strong request, Zong Shen could only ask for five sets of legendary armor.

After all the equipment has been distributed.

Both parties put it away on the spot, and this exploration operation ended perfectly.

Baron Bezos obtained a batch of equipment and two treasure chests.

I feel happy.

He was now focused on how to open the treasure chest.

"Okay, everyone, get ready."

"Leave the ruins in an orderly manner and return to the top of the mountain."

"No more tools like shovels, throw them all away."

Baron Bezos waved his hand and asked the workers to abandon the shovels and rattan baskets they had brought.

Such tools and materials are not worth a few dinars.

Now he just wants to seize the time and rush back.

The workers will naturally have no objection to the Lord Baron's orders.

They threw their shovels and rattan baskets aside one after another.

They started to queue up and walked out of the passage.

Zong Shen also put away the two [Magic Drilling Machines].

We counted the number of people and reorganized the team a little.

Walk out of the pit outside the passage.

It's now eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Because of the clear weather, the bright moonlight shines on the earth.

The lake in the mountains and forests shines with silver light.

Quite a romantic atmosphere.

But on the ground, there were large shadows approaching.

The shadows are like waves, like a black carpet.

Not only from the lakeside, but also from the lake surface, the moon shadow completely disappeared.

The fourth-order rangers at the commanding heights around the perimeter issued warnings.

At this time, Baron Bezos and Zong Shen had just reached the entrance of the pit.

Those fourth-level strike rangers were running briskly from everywhere.

"what happened?"

The workers had left the pit, and they seemed to have discovered something remarkable.

They all looked in the direction of the northern lake in horror.

"Sir, leave quickly!"

"Those fishmen suddenly gathered and are coming!"

The Strike Ranger who arrived first said eagerly.

She is a female ranger with similar appearance and characteristics to the two sisters Madeleine.

All have beautiful brown hair.

After saying that, he couldn't help but drag Baron Bezos out of the pit and start running towards the mountainside.

Zong Shen stood by the pit and took out a [single-person telescope] to observe the direction of the tiger skin.

From the perspective of the telescope, you can see all kinds of shallow water fishmen coming like a tide.

Covering the lake surface and both sides of the lake shore.

It looks like they should be out in force.

"Nima!"

"What's going on with these fishmen!"

Zong Shen cursed when he saw the scene in front of him.

At this time, Baron Bezos had been taken away one or two hundred meters.

Only now did he come to his senses.

"Brother Zong, run quickly!"

"The shallow water fishmen are rioting!"

The workers also followed Baron Bezos and ran very fast.

Don't look at how slow these guys are at work, but they are really good at escaping.

Suddenly, Zong Shen and his warriors were the only ones left on the spot.

The soldiers would not escape on their own without his explicit instructions.

The fishmen's forward was still about two kilometers away from them.

These fishmen are very fast, jumping forward like mudskippers.

At least better than the fleeing laborers and Baron Bezos.

At this speed, they might be caught up before they reach the top of the mountain.

It takes at least thirty to forty minutes to climb to the top of the mountain from here.

Moreover, they had just gathered a large number of people on the ground, which had already been exposed.

Because in just this moment, the speed of the fish people seemed to become faster.

Zong Shen could vaguely hear the sound of being trampled on the muddy ground, as well as the sound of them swimming across the lake.

His intuition told him that the purpose of these fishmen was the ruins under his feet.

In fact, the original excavators of the ruins here happened to be the ancestors of this group of fish-men.

The current passages and caves were also dug by the ancestors of these guys.

It was precisely because of their excavation that the sleeping lion and skeleton knights were awakened.

This is information that Zong Shen already knows.

So he felt that the group of fishmen must have come because of the ruins.

It's just that the moment they attacked happened to be after he and others had finished digging.

Seeing Zong Shen standing there without moving, Baron Bezos was also a little anxious.

Although he had his own ideas and thoughts, he really regarded Zong Shen as a friend.

After all, the favorability level close to full value is here.

"go back!"

"I have to call Brother Shangzong"

He gave orders to the two Strike Rangers who were pulling him away.

At this time Zong Shen suddenly shouted at him.

"Master Bezos, don't worry about me."

"I have my own way to leave."

"These fishmen are very fast. Don't stop and get back to the top of the mountain as soon as possible."

"Just take off in the airship!"

His roar was so loud that it echoed in the mountains and forests.

"Let's go!"

Hearing what he said, Baron Bezos could only give the order to continue fleeing.

After Zong Shen finished shouting, he gave Caniggia instructions.

"Caniggia, use mass levitation."

"We have to go to heaven."

After hearing his instructions, Kaginia was unambiguous, raised her hand and raised her wand to start chanting.

A few seconds later, a light blue wind spirit magic energy appeared around everyone.

With just a thought, you can control your body to float.

Facing the murlocs in full force, it is undoubtedly unwise to stay on the ground.

It's much better to go to the sky.

The floating speed of the floating technique was not very fast, and it took more than ten seconds to reach an altitude of about 100 meters.

The fishman at the front has almost reached his feet.

Zong Shen and the others looked down at the fish people, preparing to move higher.

At this time, dozens of black spherical black spots suddenly appeared from the crowd of fish.

These black dots were so powerful that they were thrown hundreds of meters into the air and opened up to become fishing nets.

The four Rodok sergeants floated slower due to their weight.

As a result, his head and face were covered with a net.

When the net was covered, the Rodok sergeants began to fall slowly.

They had no sharp weapons with them and could not break open these nets quickly.

Even taking out the long-handled ax is difficult in this situation.

"Vereesa, help."

Seeing this situation, Zong Shen quickly asked Vereesa to go to the rescue.

She has a short sword on her body that can cut through the net.

It was also at this time, after the first wave of netting ended.

The fishmen on the ground have come up with new tricks.

"Boohoo!"

Black shadows appeared and shot from below.

Within seconds, at least hundreds of black shadows were shot towards them.

The black shadow is very powerful, no less powerful than a crossbow arrow.

It turned out to be a black harpoon.

"Fuck!"

Facing this rain-like attack.

Zong Shen took out the [Aurora Guardian Shield] and quickly activated the skill.

He used [Aurora Guardian Shield] to block the bottom.

A three-color shield screen with a length of 10 meters and a width of 3 meters appeared, blocking the bottom.

This shield has a solid value of 2000 points and a double resistance of 35 points. It is a group protection skill.

Those tridents made a clanking sound when they hit the shield screen.

At the same time, the shield screen emitting colorful light swayed.
