Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

His side had so far gathered eighty-seven lords.

Counting the soldiers under Zong Shen's command.

There are nearly 4,000 warriors belonging to the [Legion of Guides] alone.

Of course this is a total number.

There are also lords in [Legion of Guides] whose development progress is medium or even slow.

There are also many upper reaches lords who are similar in strength to Jiang Yi.

Because Zong Shen paid little attention to the development of the legion.

So he wasn't very familiar with the existing Legion members.

I only know the old members who gathered in the territory to participate in killing the underworld snake Apophis during the Crypt Challenge.

All in all, in terms of order, the number of people present, and the speed of gathering, the current [Legion of Guides] is the best performer on the scene.

It is also the largest gathering group.

Other lords also grouped together with legions.

However, the number of members present was not as large as that of the [Legion of Guides].

The largest group of people was only thirty or forty people.

"Legion Commander, long time no see!"

Jiang Yi rode a prairie horse to Zong Shen's side, got off her horse and took the initiative to say hello to Zong Shen.

Zong Shen had just finished the gem strategy at this time.

His [Power Demon Battle Armor] was stained with a lot of black ashes.

There was a smell of sulfur emanating from all over his body.

These are all traces left behind when things happened just now.

Zong Shen took off his battle helmet with a smile on his face.

The hair on his forehead was curled by the high heat.

The cheeks were also flushed, and there were still a lot of gray-white salt stains left on them.

He first took out a bucket of water, held it in both hands, raised his neck and drank a lot.

"call…"

"I'm so thirsty!"

Zong Shen put away the bucket, stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, and made some bold remarks.

Then he started to respond to Jiang Yi.

"Long time no see, Jiang Yi."

"Have you been doing well during this time?"

The corner of his mouth curled up, and his eyes scanned the equipment on Jiang Yi's body.

Compared to Jiang Yi's politeness, he had to be much more generous.

His voice was hoarse from thirst.

However, this did not reduce his power, but instead made the powerful aura of blood and fire stronger.

There is not only a difference in legion position between Jiang Yi and him, but also a gap in strength.

In fact, of all the lords.

Apart from Zongze, only Jiang Yi knew him best.

Even the reborn Chen Rui had to step back a little.

After all, Chen Rui's information comes from the memory of the previous life.

But in his previous life, he had never heard of Zong Shen's name.

Not to mention the so-called understanding.

In fact, most of the information Chen Rui knows comes from the [territory level ranking list].

Many things are based on his own guesses and reasoning.

Therefore, Jiang Yi has a very special status for Zong Shen.

He was also the "little brother" that someone in the sect first tried to conquer among the lords.

Later, he also became an agent of the [Legion of Guides].

Jiang Yi didn't care about Zong Shen's attitude.

She always has a warm smile on her face.

It even looks a little flattering.

It is precisely because of understanding that she feels afraid.

And during this time, she also received a lot of favors from Zong Shen.

This boost allowed her territory to develop smoothly.

While Zong Shen was busy running around, she was not idle either.

A small ruin located to the south of the area was explored.

That ruin is a small part of the ruins of the city of Azshara.

The overall threshold for exploration is relatively low, with no complicated obstacles or powerful monsters.

However, the relative benefits are also very average.

Of course, this is usually for someone in the clan.

Because his vision has long since become very high.

But for Jiang Yi, the harvest from that ruins was enough to make her feel very satisfied.

In addition, she had received a group of refugees in the wilderness a few days ago.

There are seventy or eighty people in total.

Among them is also a talented person with the gift of a hero.

This group of refugees is said to come from neighboring cities in the south.

It happened that Jiang Yi accepted them all and became a citizen of the territory.

These are her recent personal events.

Zong Shen is not the only one who maintains development, everyone is making steady progress at different speeds.

"Sir, the remaining members are on their way."

"After you issued the overall order, I verified them one by one."

"Let those members who are unwilling to participate withdraw from the legion in advance."

"Please give the next instructions."

Jiang Yi bowed slightly, keeping his posture very low.

It has been almost a month since I landed.

Everyone has basically adapted to the life and habits of the other world.

In response, Zong Shen just waved his hand.

"Okay, I don't have any orders to give."

"Everyone is free to attack."

"Watch out for the lava this guy throws intermittently."

"In addition, unless there are special circumstances, it is best not to get close to Balrog."

"I won't say much about other issues. The previous announcement has made it very clear."

"Keep an eye on its remaining health."

"I don't want to see any casualties."

Zong Shen summarized several points that need attention.

Don't look at the legion members near him who are leading their soldiers to attack.

But when he spoke in person, almost all the legion lords pricked up their ears.

Trying to hear what he said clearly in the noisy environment.

Hearing what Zong Shen said, Jiang Yi nodded slightly.

After he finished explaining, he said hello again.

Then he drew out the two swords at his waist and directed his long-range warriors to attack in an orderly manner.

Zong Shen's subordinates seemed to be much more relaxed.

The masters had just finished a round and had to start meditating cross-legged again.

The shooters endured a sustained battle for more than an hour.

All the arrows brought by Vereesa and others were consumed.

The hand-held crossbows also had problems such as wear and broken strings.

But Zong Shen was not worried at all.

He's already done this.

The previous shooter and Master gathered fire.

Including those fourth-level summoned warriors and gem tactics, the total damage to the Fire Demon Boss was more than 1.3 million points of health.

There are more than 130,000 points here.

Next he can play slowly.

Let the other lords do a round of consumption first.

So he simply asked all the shooter troops and melee soldiers to retreat.

Only the masters and cavalry were left.

Master can restore magic value through meditation and maintain periodic attacks.

The duty of the cavalry is to protect those mages.

When the magma rain falls, you can take the magicians to avoid it in time.

The current Balrog's offensive is not very strong, and the attack frequency is not high.

As long as you pay more attention, you can still avoid it.

This battle never broke away from Zong Shen's rhythm.

The pressure on him was not as great as imagined.

After all, he and the soldiers under his command are not young children.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are now truly experienced in many battles.

Their ability to withstand stress and adaptability are generally better than those of other lords.

Even the Eagle Sauce and Griffin teams fell into the open space four to five hundred meters behind.

Zong Shen leaned next to Yingjiang, letting Yingjiang stretch his wings slightly to block him from the sun.

Then he poured the unfinished bucket of water over his head.

The weather is really hot.

The temperature of 45℃ cannot be felt by looking at the numbers alone.

It's actually a very scary temperature.

Human body temperature is determined by factors such as clothing and environment, and the normal level is around 36.2°C to 37°C.

When the body temperature exceeds 37.2°C, it is considered a fever.

A body temperature of 37.3°C to 38°C is considered a low fever, and a temperature of 38.1°C to 40°C is considered a high fever.

If it exceeds 40℃, it will be life-threatening.

After coming to this world, the lords improve their attributes by upgrading and adding points, equipping jewelry, reading books, etc.

Achieve a stronger body than humans on earth.

However, everyone’s normal body temperature levels still remain within the above range.

The heroic effects of high fever on the body remain.

Just because of the improvement of physical fitness, everyone's physical fitness and resistance will also be significantly improved.

This does not mean that the high temperature of 45°C can be completely ignored.

Everyone's body is losing water rapidly.

Sweat glands also begin to secrete sweat crazily to cool the body.

At the same time, the heart speeds up and blood circulation speeds up.

Even the lungs are affected, gasping for air to be able to exhale the heat.

Anyway, someone is really feeling uncomfortable right now.

This feeling is like being exposed to the sun for most of the day on the hottest day on Earth.

After getting wet, Zong Shen felt much more comfortable.

He has nothing to do now, so he is leaning comfortably next to Yingjiang.

Enjoying the considerate sunshade service, you feel like you are on vacation.

The other lords are all in a very serious state.

Even if the archer he brought ran out of arrows, the accompanying Master meditated on the spot.

They are also trying their best to attack and consume.

Or holding a small hand crossbow, or holding a long bow.

Anyway, the Balrog Boss is so big, it's like a small hill.

Aiming doesn't matter at all.

Because you can hit the Boss with your eyes closed.

Compared with these "hard-working" lords, Mr. Zong is like a bastard.

He was lying half leisurely, his head resting on the relatively soft side of Eagle Sauce.

With half-squinted eyes, he took out a bottle of excellent quality red wine from the storage compartment.

He uncorked the bottle with his bare hands, put it to his mouth and took a few sips.

High-quality drinks can increase some attributes.

Of course, drinking alcohol can also cause a decrease in mobility.

Therefore, Zong Shen rarely uses alcohol as a boosting potion.

Drinking red wine and crossing his legs, Zong Shen's current performance is incompatible with the atmosphere of the Boss battlefield.

Others took his behavior seriously.

It has been almost a month since the launch.

No matter how dull the lord is, he has gradually turned into a veteran, and has developed the habit of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, talking less and reading more.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at Zong Shen.

Fortunately, his reputation was quite good. After spreading word of mouth, everyone knew that he was Zong Shen.

The most recognized lord in the region.

Both the development level and the population of the territory are far ahead of the regional average.

Therefore, after the other lords found out that he was Zong Shen, they restrained themselves no matter what thoughts they had in their hearts.

Zong Shen didn't care at all.

No matter those eyes are exploring, admiring or coveting.

Firstly, he and his subordinates are tyrannical, and secondly, the [Guide Army] has all gathered together today.

Here, he will not give up whether it is a one-on-one fight or a group fight.

When Vereesa shot the last arrow, Zong Shen waved her hand and called her to his side.

"Vereesa, come here."

"I have a task for you."

Zong Shen's voice was a little hoarse, as if his throat was dry after staying up late.

But his words were orders, and no matter how noisy the surroundings were, Vereesa caught his voice immediately.

She turned her head and saw Zong Shen waving to her.

So he turned the war bow over and put it on his back.

He trotted over nimbly.

A distance of several hundred meters is nothing to a Windrunner ranger.

After all, with her super high agility attributes, if she ran with all her strength, the world sprint champions on earth would only be able to look at her back.

Vereesa quickly came to Zong Shen's side.

She took a deep look at the leisurely Mr. Zong and bent down.

"grown ups…"

Still as deserted as before.

Zong Shen has long been accustomed to the cold-hearted Vereesa.

It would be abnormal if Vereesa changed gender one day.

He didn't say anything more, turned his hand and took out something.

It's the [Condensing Water Orb (Purple)].

Zong Shen first raised the orb and began to explain the task.

"This orb can store water."

"Take it to the small lake behind the territory."

"Bring fifty tons of water stored."

"I added some arrows by the way."

"And the loss of those crossbow weapons."

"For example, the tendons needed for a crossbow."

"Let Mariel be responsible for buying things in the [market]."

"Also, please call Reese Ulysses."

"Let her mark this place."

"By the way, I will open a space channel to take you back to the territory."

"For a small-scale transfer, her space channel is just right."

Zong Shen explained everything in one breath.

He took another sip of red wine.

He regarded this thing as a drink to relieve his thirst and kill time.

He raised his hand to wipe away the drop of red wine from the corner of his mouth.

Vereesa still stood where she was.

She seemed to be digesting what Zong Shen told her.

After four or five seconds, Vereesa raised her chin slightly and responded.

Zong Shen waved his hand carelessly,

Vereesa turned around and ran towards where the masters were.

Prepare to follow his instructions and pull Reese Ulysses.

After all, he is the only space mage in the territory.

It is necessary to pull strong men in time.

Let her shine.

This place is only over 60 kilometers away from the territory.

Her [Shadow Wormhole] skill is just right.

Such small-scale transfers and short-distance transfers do not require the use of portals.

Zong Shen would only use the portal when there were hundreds of people or the distance was too far.

After arranging Vereesa's tasks, Zong Shen started to be lazy again.

Watching other people fight monsters is actually quite interesting.

As the number of participating lords increases, the attack density becomes higher and higher.

Most lords' attacks will reach a trough and become intermittent attacks after lasting for about ten minutes.

However, once the effect of the number of people is added up, the overall momentum is still exaggerated.

Every second there are at least a thousand attacks of varying strengths hitting the Balrog Boss.

Such a saturation blow caused the small balls of fire to explode on Balrog's body.

Coupled with the Balrog Boss, the magma rain was caused from time to time.

Make the scene intense and exciting.

This is a proper 3A blockbuster.

Zong Shen now has enough confidence and is not anxious at all.

I am even too lazy to do it myself.

His intervention would only earn him a few thousand points at most.

You still have to take some risks and resist the heat at all times.

He has already obtained the guaranteed hundreds of thousands of points.

After the price rises, many things will be different.

If it were just after landing, or during the first few rounds of challenge activities.

Let alone thousands of points, he would fight for even a few hundred points.

But things are different now.

The family wealth has become stronger, the strength has become stronger, and the vision has become higher.

In short: "Sir, times have changed."

The relative value of hundreds or thousands of points to him is getting smaller and smaller.

The most important point is that he has verified the gem strategy.

Can perfectly display the value of magic gems.

Convert it into damage to the Balrog Boss, which is challenge points.

You can kill at least half of the HP of the Balrog Boss in just a few minutes.

That's why he didn't mind being lazy for a while.

Time flies by.

More than half an hour passed.

The remaining health of the Balrog Boss has been reduced to 57%.

According to this trend, eradicating it will definitely not be a problem.

Everyone is trying their best to output.

After all, points and damage are linked.

When the HP of the Balrog Boss drops below 40%, it's time for Zong Shen to take action.

Now it would be good to let the shooters and mages mix their damage.

Vereesa also returned to the scene at this time.

I have to say that her movements are still very deft.

She brought another thousand sets of arrows and six hundred sets of crossbow bolts.

We have collected some excellent and rare bow strings and crossbow strings.

These are commonly used consumables by shooters.

It doesn't cost much to purchase in bulk like this.

Some used dinars as a method of payment, others used various resources.

In terms of Zong Shen's net worth, it's just drizzle.

In this regard, he still has the qualifications to be arrogant.

In addition, Vereesa also filled the [Water Condensing Orb] with clean water.

Now she came to Zong Shen again and handed him the Water Condensing Orb.

"Sir, all the tasks you ordered have been completed."

Vereesa lowered her head and said in a cold tone.

"Thanks a lot."

"Send out all the arrows."

"Bows and crossbows with broken strings will be repaired together."

Zong Shen took the [Water Condensing Orb] and nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Vereesa turned and left.

He walked very gracefully, without any sloppiness.

Zong Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, playing with the orb, looking at Vereesa's back and wondering what he was thinking.

At this time, another group of people from the outside arrived at the scene.

It seems that the legion is also acting collectively.

At least dozens of lords came together.

Zong Shen turned his eyes and scanned these guys who had arrived late.

More than two hours passed, and nearly three thousand lords gathered at the scene.

The first and second batch of arriving lords have basically withdrawn from the battle group.
