Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

(Fifth-level Lion Charge Knight, a heavy-armored lancer in the Lion Knights, has great strength. Under a lance charge, all living beings are equal)

As expected, the attributes of the fifth-level charge knight were much higher than those of the fifth-level lion and skeleton knight.

The first two skills are almost the same, only the passive skills are different.

In addition, the two skills missing from the Lion Skeleton Knight are also reflected in the Charge Knight.

As for the horses of fifth-level knights, they are slightly stronger than those of fourth-level knights.

The name is also called Lion Blood War Horse.

The speed reached 9 points.

Health and bludgeoning damage from collisions are also higher.

I don’t know if these war horses are different in blood.

Or are there differences in other aspects.

Anyway, the difference in attributes is still very obvious.

These fourth- and fifth-level knights are rare high-end combat powers.

As long as they accumulate a few more months, they can quickly form a squadron-level combat capability.

Especially for the fifth-level charge knight, the strength attribute alone is thirty or forty points higher than that of the fourth-level garrison knight.

This also proves that the fourth level is a watershed.

After reaching the fifth level, you have properly entered the range of high-end combat power.

"Cobol, you will be the leader of the Charge Knights from now on."

"Don't live up to my expectations of you."

According to the old rules, Zong Shen would choose whoever he saw to be the leader.

This Cobol, like Arig before him, was the lucky one chosen by him.

Anyway, all knights are a blank piece of paper to Zong.

The effect is the same no matter who you choose, it’s better to choose a lucky audience at random.

In the future, you can study their characters when they fight side by side.

Anyway, with loyalty guaranteed, he still has the final say on the appointment.

Similar to before, after receiving the appointment, the lion charging knight named Cobol also punched the ground with his sword, knelt down on one knee, held the hilt of the sword with his left hand, clenched his right hand on his left chest, lowered his head, and shouted loudly: Pledge of allegiance.

"We are your fangs."

"My flesh and bones are like grass, and my body is like a knife."

Cobol's voice was a little dull, like a war drum covered with thick leather.

The rest of the Lion Charge Knights also wielded their swords with one hand and knelt down to salute.

"My flesh and bones are like grass, my body is like a knife!"

…

These lion knights swore in unison and softly.

This is their word of war, and it is also an oath full of honor.

Just when Zong Shen was about to wave for them to get up, the crisp sound of horse hooves came from the east side of the territory.

The nineteen overlord-level lion skeleton knights rode skeleton horses into the central area.

He stopped fifty or sixty meters away from the queue of lion knights.

The appearance of these undead instantly attracted the attention of every lion knight.

They turned around and looked at the skeleton knights.

And the skull knights' heads were also shining with red light, watching them.

The two sides seemed to be confronting each other in the distance.

The lion knights clenched the swords in their hands.

This also applies to the charging knights who still remain kneeling.

They can naturally see the origins of these undead.

The broken lion's roaring emblem can occasionally reflect golden luster.

The lion garrison knights had already turned around on their own initiative, transformed into a formation, and faced these skeleton knights.

He took off his backup kite-shaped shield, grabbed the shield with his left wrist, and made a warning gesture.

Prevents them from charging.

The lion-blooded war horse was a little excited, with its front hooves raised and rubbing against the ground.

As for the lion charging knights, they still maintained their kneeling position because they did not have Zong Shen's permission.

But they all raised their heads and looked at where the Skeleton Knight was.

"Don't worry, they are still your comrades."

When the atmosphere was tense, Zong Shen took the initiative.

"Okay, Cobol."

"You all should get up too."

"The glory of the Knights of the Lion will live on forever."

"And you are the inheritance!"

After Zong Shen spoke, the charging knights stood up and returned to their horses.

The garrison knight gently reined in the horse to calm down the horse.

The sword is still in the sheath, but the body is slightly tilted to the left, and the shield always protects the vital parts.

"Bang bang..."

At this time, the lion and skeleton knights moved.

Their skeletal bodies make a dry friction sound every time they move.

I saw the lions and skeleton knights dismounting one after another.

Under the broken battle helmet, the deep eye sockets of the skull were glowing red.

"Roar…"

They roared like friction.

Through the soul fluctuations, Zong Shen understood what these guys meant.

"My flesh and bones are like grass, my body is like a knife!"

Even though they have turned into undead, they still remember the honor that once belonged to them.

This idea requires no words.

At least those fourth-level garrison knights and fifth-level charge knights sensed it.

This is a kind of resonance for comrades.

"Uh-huh!"

They pulled out their swords and raised them in front of their faces, nodding slightly at these skeleton knights.

Knight, you should be knighted.

These lion and skeleton knights in front of them are both undead and their comrades-in-arms.

it is more than words.

Zong Shen walked over quickly and took off the chain mail glove on his right hand.

Revealing the [Silver Lion Ring], he clenched his fist and raised his right hand high.

"Honor is immortal!"

"Roar!"

"Bang bang!"

In response, the skeleton knights held their swords in their left hands and hammered their chests with their right hands.

There was a muffled sound of "bang bang" on the worn-out armor.

At this time, Tasia arrived belatedly riding a prairie horse.

"Sir, those skeleton knights were suddenly stimulated just now..."

"Huh? What's going on?"

She started shouting loudly before she passed through the simple wooden wall area.

Until she saw these lion and skeleton knights saluting Zong Shen respectfully.

Zong Shen smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Tasia, you came just in time."

"Take the soldiers to the living area."

"These lion skeleton knights will be placed outside first."

"When Mariel comes back, tell her."

"Let her choose a suitable location to place these skeleton knights."

"I'm sure I can keep these guys in a stable state though."

"But let them have as little contact with living creatures as possible."

Zong Shen was in a good mood and his tone was lighter.

Tasia nodded dully.

"Cobol, Arig, follow Tasia."

Zong Shen made a special statement to the leaders of the garrison knights and charge knights.

In other words, he took the lead in introducing it to them.

The two knights had no objection and nodded while riding on their horses.

"Knights follow me!"

A total of thirty-six knights all turned their horses.

The lion skeleton knights also stood up under the guidance of Tasia and returned to the skeleton horse.

Follow Tasia and leave toward the southeast of the territory.

The departure of the knights made the central area quiet again.

Except for the farmers who bring their carriages to the water cellar from time to time to transport water.

Zong Shen was the only one in the central area.

Others are not training at the complex.

I just went to work according to Zong Shen's instructions.

The current temperature is only 35℃, which is far from comfortable.

But everyone has tolerated it.

After all, most warriors are in pretty good shape.

Activities at this temperature will not have a negative impact on the body.

The thirty-six knights recruited just now occupied 120 points of [Silver Lion Banner] to recruit and rule.

The current recruitment command is [120/8000].

You also need to allow time to "ferment" and wait until it lasts for three to five months.

Everything will be different.

He has an army of lion knights under his command. Where can he go on this grassland?

When the time comes, someone from his sect will be able to dominate this area with his cavalry.

By the time the knights left, the sixth-level city lord's mansion had been upgraded.

Because the distance between the original four collapsed wooden walls in the central area has increased.

The sixth-level city lord's mansion is also square.

Just using the [Fortress Advanced Route] or something like that.

The original walls became small towers.

Now the four towers are 60 meters each.

The center area is 3,600 square meters.

The height of the tower has also changed.

It has been raised from five meters to six meters, which is equivalent to the height of a common two-story building on earth.

The width has changed from two meters to two and a half meters. This change is almost the same as before. Anyway, it is enough for people to stand.

The exterior still looks like it is made of bluestone.

There are wall stacks above, and there is a relatively large gap every fifth stack position.

A giant crossbow can be set up above.

It's a pity that the width is still a bit short. If it were four or five meters wide, it could even be used to set up small and medium-sized catapults, as well as some cool magic artillery.

Zong Shen could not help but start planning the future defense of the lord's fortress.

However, the city gates on all sides have undergone obvious changes.

The structure still lifts up and down, but it has changed from iron bars to iron gates.

There is also a small iron window one meter square in the middle that can be opened or closed at any time.

The overall changes are still very obvious.

Zong Shen focused his gaze and took a look at the changes in their solid values.

[Sixth level fortress tower]

[Sturdiness value: 9500+1500]

[Building Armor: 75]

[Building magic resistance: 75]

[Defense effect: Primary damage is evenly distributed (30% of the damage effect of the struck part of the tower will be evenly distributed to the four towers)]

…

[Sixth level fortress gate]

[Sturdiness value: 5500+1500]

[Building Armor: 95]

[Building magic resistance: 80]

[Defense effect: primary solidity (triggered when the degree of deformation exceeds 50%, increasing double resistance by 15 points, lasting 30 minutes, this effect can only be triggered once in 24 hours)]

…

Sure enough, after the City Lord's Mansion was upgraded, the improvement in solidity value was also huge.

In addition, there is an additional primary defense effect.

For example, the tower's primary damage is shared equally, and the damage effect can be shared equally by 30%.

In other words, a large pit of one meter could have been made, but in fact only a pit of 70 centimeters appeared.

The remaining 30% is evenly distributed to other parts of the towers on all sides.

The city gate has a primary solid effect.

It will only be activated when it is attacked and severely deformed.

Can increase double resistance.

The increase in resistance is equivalent to directly strengthening the strength of the city gate.

It is worthy of being a lord's fortress, and the upgrade of the city lord's mansion makes this route run through well.

Zong Shen clasped his hands behind his back and inspected them leisurely.

He slowly passed through the iron gate and entered inside.

The internal area has been expanded by more than a thousand square meters.

Most of the area was extended into the courtyard, except for the Lord's Keep itself, which was somewhat enlarged.

It is about ten meters from the city gate to the [Magic Well] and [Moon Well].

It's even further to get to the entrance of the fortress, and you need to walk nearly twenty meters.

You must know that the original City Lord's Mansion was only about ten meters away from the house outside the courtyard.

The change in area requires your eyes to get used to it first.

As for the Lord's Fortress, it's still the same.

There are still ten steps to go up to the first floor, and the overall number has changed from five floors to six floors.

The height has also been increased by four to five meters accordingly.

In addition, there are two more towers on both sides of the fort.

These towers are attached to the fortress and extend upward from the third floor.

It is a few meters higher than the sixth floor.

Archers can be deployed on towers during times of war.

The tower is also one of the several commanding heights in the fortress.

Facing in all directions, it supplements the defense of the lord's fortress.

"Not bad!"

The most common thing Zong Shen said these days was probably "Not bad, not bad."

Climb the steps and arrive at the gate of the Lord's Fortress.

There is no doubt that significant changes have taken place here as well.

The original steel gate has become thicker.

Even Zong Shen shook his head when he saw it.

The black and gray ashlar stones were piled up to form a wall, and a forty centimeter thick steel gate stood in it.

This kind of defense can last for a while even if the handsome black guy from the Poison Swamp attacks.

Zong Shen couldn't help but nodded, looking at the fortress and the gate repeatedly.

The main purpose is to see if the fortress and steel gate have a defensive effect.

[Level 6 Lord Fortress]

[Sturdiness value: 60000+1500]

[Building Armor: 120]

[Building magic resistance: 115]

[Defense effect: Primary seal (when necessary, the primary seal can be activated to completely seal the entire fortress and isolate poisonous gas and smoke to a certain extent. The maximum duration is 4 hours. Maintaining the primary seal state will run the risk of running out of oxygen) 】

…

[Level 6 Lord Fortress Steel Gate]

[Sturdiness value: 18000+1500]

[Building Armor: 135]

[Building magic resistance: 125]

[Defense effect: Primary spike mechanism (the door extends with sharp metal spikes, causing 15% damage to melee attacks, lasting 30 minutes, cooling time 12 hours)]

…

Just as Zong Shen had guessed before.

Lord's Fortress and Steel Gate have exclusive defense effects.

These defensive effects are equivalent to building skills.

Can directly improve building defense.

"As expected of a fortress."

"Just keep upgrading."

"It will turn into a castle one day."

Zong Shen never forgot the castle of Baron Bezos.

He also wanted to build a large central castle covering hundreds of thousands of square meters.

Not only can it ensure the safety of his residence.

Increase the territory's defense capabilities.

And it's very luxurious.

Get a wine cellar, banquet hall, and large study room.

You can even consider building emergency tunnels.

Thinking of tunnels, he had many ideas for building fortresses.

Generally, there are tunnels in large castles or fortresses.

One to three levels of underground space will even be excavated.

In addition to being used for escape and danger, it can also be used as a treasure house and dungeon.

I don’t know that after the Lord’s Fortress continues to be upgraded, it will not have tunnel structures by default.

Zong Shen thought for a while and suppressed this idea.

No matter what, let’s upgrade the Lord’s Fortress a few more levels first.

Only then will he have the confidence to carry out construction and renovation.

If the high-ranking lord's fortress really didn't have tunnels, it wouldn't be too late for him to renovate it.

If we are blindly reforming now, it will be very uneconomical if it causes irreversible effects.

Authenticity is not a necessity anyway.

Shaking his head to himself, Zong Shen opened the heavy steel gate.

There is a power-assisted tension spring on the door shaft of this gate.

The door shaft on one side is almost embedded in the same thick blue-gray wall.

Only such thick walls and foundations could accommodate such a gate.

The steel gate alone weighs at least a dozen tons.

The door to a bank vault on Earth is nothing more than that.

It's just that the security door of the vault is made of alloy, which is denser and heavier.

Living within such strong walls and gates, the sense of security is simply explosive.

After a lot of fuss, it was already evening.

The strong sunlight finally subsided a little.

The turbid yellow light smeared on the earth.

However, the temperature did not drop as the daylight faded.

After all, the lord system will definitely actively adjust in order to maintain a constant challenge state.

Expecting that the temperature will drop as night approaches is simply delusional.

Except for the lords of this area.

The current temperature of 35℃ is simply a blessing compared to other areas.

Zong Shen's back was sweating slightly, but overall he was fine.

At least I won't be sweating like rain in the morning.

He returned to the living room, ready to look at the few remaining items.

This time he was actually satisfied.

Just that [Silver Lion Battle Flag (Gold)] was enough to keep him happy for a long time.

Due to the characteristics of the Balrog Boss, it is difficult for cavalry and melee infantry to participate in the Boss crusade.

Of course, those lion knights are all fourth- and fifth-level high-level cavalry.

There is no problem if you really want to charge hard, but if you do this, casualties will inevitably occur.

These lion knights will be the fastest cavalry unit in Zong Shen's hands.

The final number can surpass the Wolf Cavalry.

Because the wolf cavalry is just a light cavalry after all.

There are many gaps compared with these heavy armored cavalry.

Zong Shen stood next to the magic storage box and took a few deep breaths.

Suppressed the somewhat impetuous mood.

He reached out and took out the strategic map.

This map was also rolled up, with a gray ribbon tied in the middle.

Zong Shen estimated that the ribbon should have been red.

It just faded and turned gray over the years.

From the rolled up back of the map.

Zong Shen could see a shadow with black lines representing the undulations of the terrain.

There is also a lion's head mark about the size of a thumb joint.

It should represent the Knights of the Lion.

This is why, when he first opened the box, he concluded that this thing was a map.

He carefully pulled the map scroll out.

Placed on the empty round table aside.
