Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

"Sir, I brought the Frost Raven!"

"Bah!"

There was also a chirping sound at the right time at the door.

The size of the Frost Raven is not comparable to that of the Griffin at the same level.

But it is also a large raptor monster.

The body length is also several meters, and the wingspan is also eleven or twelve meters.

You can't get in with a body type like this.

Therefore, it could only linger at the door of the lord's small building and wait.

"Just in time."

"Let this guy spray some cold air into the small building."

Zong Shen said with a smile and walked out quickly.

The Frost Raven was just outside the eaves, suspended two or three meters above the ground.

It had a thick collar around its neck, and an iron chain about fifteen meters long hanging from it.

The other end of the chain was held in Vereesa's hand.

In addition, there are several huge iron balls hanging under its legs.

Each weighs at least several hundred kilograms.

These iron balls constrain its movements and make it difficult for it to fly high.

The dwarf uncle consumed thousands of parts of iron in order to cast these iron balls.

These iron balls can be recycled when necessary in the future.

This guy's time in the territory is not short.

I don't treat it badly at ordinary times, and basically eats meat every meal.

Of course, this silly bird is quite honest and will do whatever it wants.

Often responsible for replenishing cold air in the ice cellar and performing freezing and cooling work.

As for the jackdaw scout who once rode it, he is much more honest now.

Hanging out with the farmers honestly.

Help with some chores.

The five Jackdaw and Euphorbia warriors were much more passive.

He has not yet regained his freedom, and his hands and feet are shackled.

They were imprisoned in special houses and stone houses.

These guys are hard to give in to and require persuasion.

In fact, Zong Shen was originally quite interested in the Jackdaw and Euphorbia warriors.

But he was too lazy to go out of his way to preach.

The worst case scenario would be to sell all these thorn-headed prisoners to slave merchants.

Also worth mentioning is Isidor.

He was probably the calmest of the prisoners.

Because his limbs were irreversibly damaged, he is now a cripple.

Zong Shen did not restrain him specifically and let him stay with the farmer.

He couldn't do much with his hands, and his legs were awkward to walk with.

But at least it's not completely destroyed.

At least he can barely take care of himself.

After all, limb injuries and paralysis are different.

Vereesa initially attacked only the joints.

The arrow has high penetrating power and will not tear off the entire limb.

According to Mariel, Isido once made a request to live in the [Library].

But she refused.

[Library] is also an important building in the territory.

It is open to all territorial citizens, and everyone can obtain attribute improvements through reading.

But Isido doesn't have this qualification yet.

Zong Shen was not too concerned about the prisoners.

If he had time, maybe he would find time to wander around.

But he really doesn't have much time now.

Time is like money, you have to spend it wisely.

"Come here and spray the cold air into the house!"

Zong Shen unceremoniously grabbed a section of the chain from the back end and pulled hard.

His strength was so great that after just such a tug, the Frost Raven could hardly fly.

It was quite honest, and after flapping its wings a few times, it landed on the ground.

Several heavy iron balls hit the ground first, making several muffled sounds.

Even the dust scattered on the ground started to float.

The Frost Raven just stood on top of the iron ball.

He gathered his wings and pushed his dark body towards the door of the small building under the eaves.

With all his strength, he could barely stick his head by the door.

Vereesa opened the doors on both sides.

"call…"

I saw the Frost Raven's neck rising and falling.

Breathing in and brewing.

This breath of cold air is a bit like exhaling.

After brewing for more than ten seconds, it opened its sharp beak and a white cold air spurted out.

From the thickness of the thigh it spreads to the thickness of the waist.

The cold air was sprayed several meters away, enough to spray into the lord's small building.

As the cold air poured in, hoarfrost began to condense at the door.

The heat in the building began to be absorbed, and bean-sized water droplets condensed out.

These water droplets were quickly frozen by the newly sprayed cold air.

Frost began to appear on everything from the door to the living room to the long table in the dining room, stairs, kitchen, and sand table.

The cold air hit my face and collided with the outside temperature.

Dense drops of water formed on Zong Shen and Veresa's bodies.

The cold breath lasted for several minutes.

The effect is still very good.

But this time its consumption is obviously much greater than before.

After spitting out, Frost Raven's body shook a little.

It seems that not only the magic points are lost, but also the energy.

After all, these frosty breaths are not so easy to brew.

The power of magic is part of the reason, and its own affinity for the frost element is another part of the reason. ,

"It's done, take it away."

"I just want to cool down a little bit."

"By the way Vereesa, call Mariel over later."

"By the way, let him bring the nineteen lion and skeleton knights with him."

"In addition, contact the twelve Rhodok crossbowmen stationed at the Griffin's Nest."

"Let them come back on the gryphon, we will need them to join the battle in the afternoon."

Zong Shen waved his hand, indicating that the cold in the room was enough.

At the same time, several war preparation instructions were issued.

The assembly order for the territorial warriors has been issued.

Just meet up before noon.

However, the family wealth of someone in his clan is not limited to the territory now.

The Balrog Boss is one of those challenging content where the more work you do, the more you gain, the more you fight, the more fun you have.

If it weren't for the fact that the daily mineral output from the mine is worth a lot of money.

Zong Shen even planned to attract the kobolds.

More than two hundred kobolds can also contribute a fighting force.

Vereesa said nothing, took his instructions to heart, and pulled Frost Raven away.

Maybe it's because he just breathed out the cold air.

Frost Raven looked listless.

Even taking off became extremely difficult, with those big iron balls dangling.

Its body also swayed.

It's a bit unbearable to see.

Zong Shen stood at the door, watching Vereesa lead Frost Raven away.

I was wondering whether I should let this silly bird go after a while.

Let Yingjiang or Feihu teach it a lesson.

Thinking about it, it should be possible to make it more honest, but forcing him to be locked up like this is not a long-term solution.

Zong Shen thought for a while.

He was standing with his back to the door.

The cold air inside is coming out continuously.

The temperature inside the lord's small building is now much lower than outside.

It also made him experience the feeling of ice and fire.

In front of us is the rising outdoor temperature, and behind us is the chilly small building.

After solving this chore, Zong Shen returned to the small building again.

He closed the door conveniently to prevent the cold air from quickly escaping.

There was a chilly white mist all around.

There is still some hoarfrost on the ground and on the tables and chairs.

However, the outdoor temperature is also rapidly approaching here.

The slow thaw begins from the door to the kitchen.

According to Zong Shen's estimation, it would not be a problem to maintain the cold air in the building for two hours.

Anyway, it was just a temporary escape from the heat.

Surface buildings are not as good as cellars, and heat conducts quickly.

If you really want to escape the heat for a long time, it is best to stay in the cellar.

Among the treasure chests he brought back now, the only one left was the golden treasure chest.

Zong Shen is still looking forward to the golden treasure chest.

He raised his hand and brushed it over the treasure box, choosing to activate it.

The lid of the box was opened, and six different balls of light emerged.

Zong Shen skillfully stored it again.

"Well…"

"The stuff this time is pretty good!"

An unboxing prompt appeared in front of him, and he didn't know what he saw but his eyes lit up.

He showed a rare expression of interest.

[Fifth level elemental splitting arrow tower construction drawing (orange) × 1]

[Level 5 City Lord’s Mansion Upgrade Voucher × 1]

[Pet Contract (Purple) × 1]

[Tier 3 Elemental Arrow Tower Construction Diagram × 1]

[Kerosene arrows × 2 (blue) (bag)]

[Craft brandy (green) × 2]

The final legendary item is an arrow tower blueprint.

Ordinary arrow towers are calculated by level and often have no quality classification.

For example, the elemental arrow towers from level 1 to level 4 have only a few levels of prefixes, and all categories are in a blank slate.

Any arrow tower with quality classification such as purple rare level or orange legendary level.

There are often some rare special arrow towers.

In addition, this time I also got an upgrade certificate from the City Lord's Mansion and a rare pet contract.

Zong Shen’s previous [Domestication Fruit] was used on Feihu.

[Pet Contract (Purple)] was used on Ying Jiang.

He himself was also worried about what props he would need to tame the handsome black boy in the future.

Now I feel sleepy and I give him a pillow, which makes me feel happy.

He placed the drawing of the legendary arrow tower in front of him and examined it carefully.

[Level 5 Elemental Splitting Arrow Tower Construction Drawing (Orange)]

[Quality: Legendary special defense building]

[Requirements: Fifth-level elemental splitting arrow tower manufacturing blueprint × 1]

[A complete building can be built without spending materials, please choose an area to place it]

Armor-piercing shooting lv10 (Under armor-piercing shooting, the enemy who is damaged by the arrow tower will enter the armor-piercing state, reducing the armor value by 20 points. The armor-piercing state lasts for 5 minutes, the skill duration is 10 minutes, and the cooling time is 4 hours. )

Secondary Splitting lv10 (After activating this skill, the fired crossbow bolts can enter a second splitting state. Each crossbow bolt after the first split can split into five more crossbow bolts, causing 0.35 times the puncture damage, lasting 10 minutes, cooling time 12 hours)

Passive skill: Grainbow (the attack can split after hitting the target, and shoot five splitting crossbow bolts around the target, causing 0.75 times the puncture damage)

Elemental Enchantment (Each attack has a 30% chance of inflicting 30 points of random elemental damage, including split attacks, which can also be affected by this effect)

Magic adsorption (can absorb 35 points of elemental magic power per minute in non-combat state)】

(A powerful defensive arrow tower that can split fire and is effective against large groups of enemies. It has certain air defense capabilities and can be used as a defense supplement for giant turrets)

This arrow tower is indeed very powerful.

Zong Shen couldn't wait to learn and master it.

It wasn't over yet, he immediately hung up a communication crystal to contact Mariel.

Ask her to immediately set up the newly added arrow towers.

Especially the [Level 5 Elemental Scattering Arrow Tower], the sooner it is built, the better.

After noon, when the Balrog Boss spawns, they will go out in large numbers.

There won't be too many troops left in the territory by then.

At this time, every point of improvement in defense strength can reduce the probability of the territory being stolen.

Mariel immediately expressed her understanding and immediately looked for a location to place the new arrow tower.

Let the territory’s defense matrix be more complete.

With this level of defense, even Zong Shen himself may not be able to break in.

Even if he replicates the pattern of riding Eagle Sauce, it won't work.

Although ordinary arrow towers cannot penetrate Eagle Sauce's armor, [Giant Crossbow Tower], [Moon Blade Tower], and even high-level elemental arrow towers can penetrate Eagle Sauce.

The advantage is also relative.

Zong Shen believed that no one would die after eating too much.

It is now more than an hour before twelve o'clock noon.

It was enough for him to check out the harvest and then go to the blacksmith shop.

Among the remaining items, it goes without saying that there are pet contracts, brandy, and the third-level elemental arrow tower.

He looked at [Fire Oil Arrows (Blue)] and [Level 5 City Lord's Mansion Upgrade Certificate].

[Kerosene Arrows (Blue)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Puncture damage +18, Burning damage +15]

[Passive skill: Flammable (after hitting, it can make the enemy enter a flammable state and continue to spread the burning)]

(Strengthened type arrows, solid kerosene and flannel are added to the arrow part, and need to be manually ignited and fired)

[Level 5 City Lord’s Mansion Upgrade Certificate]

[After completing the territory expansion mission of the corresponding level, you can use this voucher to upgrade the city lord's mansion to level five (the city lord's mansion needs to be in good condition)]

(Upgrade in a while, just to see the effect of the [City Lord’s Mansion Fortress Form Advanced Route] you got before. After the new round of City Lord’s Mansion upgrade, it will transform into the fortress form)

Level 5 certificate!

According to common practice, the area of ​​the city main palace will be expanded to a square area of ​​50 meters × 50 meters.

That is an area of ​​2500 square meters.

At the fourth level, the area is 1,600 square meters, and the range will increase by 10 meters for each level.

And when the blind box is drawn in the winter challenge.

He once drew a special item.

That is [City Lord’s Mansion Fortress Form Advanced Route (Special)].

After use, the advancement route of the city lord's mansion can be changed, so that the future city lord's mansion will be transformed into a fortress style.

As the name suggests, the fortress style is similar to a castle or a battle post.

Less casual, but more defensively-friendly.

The current City Lord's Mansion is more like an ordinary manor building.

Once it becomes a fortress, its solidity and armor values ​​will be greatly increased.

When necessary, this is the last gate of the territory, guarding the rights and glory of the lord.

As a typical pragmatist, Zong Shen naturally used it without hesitation.

So this upgrade certificate comes at the right time.

However, when the city lord's mansion is upgraded, it needs to be cleared.

So he planned to wait until he went out later to use it.

All treasure chests are now open.

There are five more items from the Riptide Tribe waiting to be examined.

At first, the strategy module was screening, and all items marked were items of rare level or above.

Because time was limited at that time, I definitely had to pick the ones I had picked up before.

If you search carefully, you will probably find a lot of excellent, sophisticated, and whiteboard-level items inside. For example, the harpoons thrown by the fishmen should also have a certain value.

All five items are different.

They are a rare black harpoon, a palm-sized fish-man totem, a goose-egg-sized blue orb, a pitch-black spike, and the one found in the fish-man altar pool. Palm-sized token.

Zong Shen looked at the harpoon, which was about the same length as the harpoon inserted into Favid's body yesterday.

The shape is just a little more fancy.

The handle is also engraved with wave patterns.

[Riptide Harpoon (Purple)]

【one-hand】

[Quality: rare grade]

[Piercing damage: 66~69]

[Blunt damage: 42~45]

[Attack range: 85]

[Attack speed: +4%]

[Durability: 417]

[Strength required: 30]

[Requires agility: 25]

[Skill: Riptide Throwing lv10 (throws a Riptide Harpoon, with a maximum range of 250 meters, a maximum range of 150 meters, causing 1.5 times puncture damage to the target, and there is a 15% probability of causing a tearing effect on the limbs. You need to manually throw it after throwing it. Retrieval, cooling time 2 hours)

Mountain Dew Incarnation LV10 (Induces the power of the water element to strengthen itself, causing the attack to carry 25 points of water magic damage. Each attack has a 15% probability of triggering a wave impact, lasting 10 minutes, and the cooling time is 2 hours)

Passive skill: Mountain Wave Walker (when swimming in the water with this harpoon, the speed can be increased by 15%)]

(The Mountain Dew Harpoon used by the Commander-level Murloc Warriors can arouse the power of Mountain Dew to a certain extent)

The attributes of this harpoon are okay, slightly lower than those of the trident.

The size is much smaller, only eighty or ninety centimeters.

It looks a bit mini in the hand, like an enlarged dinner fork.

Zong Shen didn't know what the use was, so he put it away first.

If you need to swim in the future, this thing may come in handy.

The next item is the palm-sized fishman totem.

This thing came from the nursery and was attacked by two shallow water trekkers.

They tried every means to prevent Zong Shen and the others from entering the "nursing room".

This shows that fishmen also have a strong sense of care for their babies.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen reached out and gently touched the side of his face.

There is a clear scar from cheek to below ear.

A hard scab has formed.

This scar was left by last night's shallow water trek.

Strength attribute can affect self-healing ability to a certain extent.

So his wounds heal much faster than Favid's.

"I hope this totem won't disappoint me..."

"Otherwise, the blow I received wouldn't be worth it!"
