Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

After doing this, he stopped by to see the artificial ice cellar.

During these two days of heat wave challenges, the ice cellar was in pretty good shape.

The cold air inside did not dissipate too much, and Zong Shen's contribution was naturally responsible for it.

It was precisely because he quickly killed the Balrog Boss and completed the fastest kill in the entire region.

Therefore, the daily temperature in the area can be reduced by a full 10°C.

This can be regarded as an advantage in the heat wave challenge.

This is true for all lords in the entire region.

Make it easier for everyone to challenge.

After checking the ice cellar, Zong Shen passed through the gate of the lord's fortress.

He walked straight to the ancient tree of knowledge.

This ancient tree of knowledge in its infancy is already eight or nine meters tall.

The canopy of trees is lush and green, casting a large amount of shadow.

The branches are covered with green leaves, with no signs of withering or withering.

The open space under the trees is also very refreshing and clean.

There were no fallen leaves, bird droppings or dead branches to be seen.

Like the [Ancient Guardian], it has a face on the tree on one side.

This face looks like it is parasitic on a tree.

The bark is its skin.

Every fold has traces of nature's carvings.

At this moment, this face has its eyes tightly closed.

It was as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

This is the ancient tree spirit.

It is a strange life form.

A life form between plants and flesh and blood life.

Because Zong Shen had already seen the [Ancient Guardian].

So he was no stranger to tree spirits.

The [Infancy Ancient Tree of Knowledge] in front of me is obviously not as active as the [Ancient Guardian].

He stood next to the ancient tree of knowledge and stared.

Soon, its detailed properties appeared in front of you.

[Infancy Knowledge Ancient Tree: Miles]

[Race: Tree Spirit]

[Blunt damage: 162~165]

[Armor value: 80]

[Sturdiness value: 4500]

【Age of tree: 27】

[Skill: Standing (makes the rooted ancient tree of knowledge rise from the ground to perform slow activities. At the same time, the tree spirit's armor will be increased by 20 points, turning into heavy armor, and the attack will become melee blunt damage)

Rooted (making the standing Ancient Tree of Knowledge rooted in the soil, without the ability to attack, and unable to take root in non-soil environments such as rocks, swamps, lakes, etc.)

Druid primary training (can carry out primary training for a druid warrior to improve certain attributes and skill levels. At the current age, up to three druids can be trained at the same time. Each training needs to last 4 hours. This skill has no cooldown. , but there is a quota limit, the quota will be occupied during training, and each druid can only receive primary training once)

Elementary training of Elf Archer (can provide elementary training to an Elf Archer to improve certain attributes and skill levels. At the current age, up to three Elf Archers can be trained at the same time. Each training needs to last 4 hours. This skill has no cooldown, but there are quotas. Restrictions, quota will be occupied during training, and each elf archer skill will receive primary training once)

Elf Swordsman Elementary Training (…)

Elf Ranger Elementary Training (…)

Elf tree spirit primary training (…)

The tree is not old enough and has not been activated yet]

(The ancient tree of knowledge, an ancient tree spirit common among the elves, can provide additional training and strengthening for soldiers. The current age of the tree is still relatively low. It can be irrigated or cultivated with things containing the power of nature, which can effectively increase the age of the tree. Through The tree spirit improved by absorbing the power of nature will not affect the upper limit of the lifespan of the ancient tree of knowledge)

The ability of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge is very simple. It can train and strengthen all types of arms of the Elf clan.

However, this [Ancient Tree of Young Knowledge] can only be used for primary training.

As its age increases, higher-level training abilities and other auxiliary skills can be activated.

In addition, the final strategy tip also shows a way to catalyze the tree spirit.

That is to use items rich in natural power for irrigation or cultivation.

When Zong Shen saw this, the first thing he thought of was the Moon God Spring.

If he remembered correctly, he had used the Moon God Spring water to water the seeds of the ancient guardian.

It can greatly shorten the growth cycle of the ancient guardian.

Luna told him this.

Based on the information obtained so far, Zong Shen speculated that the Moon God Spring water should also contain a large amount of natural power.

If nothing else, using it to irrigate young ancient trees of knowledge can increase the age of the trees.

However, if such a big tree were to be irrigated by the Luna Spring, the consumption would probably be huge.

Zong Shen decided to use the Luna Spring water to test it when he had time.

If the improvement efficiency is relatively high, you can directly use Luna Spring to promote growth.

If the improvement efficiency is relatively low, you can only find another way.

After all, Moon God Spring is also a valuable strategic material in the territory.

It can also be exchanged for a large amount of resources in the market.

After checking the detailed properties of the Young Knowledge Ancient Tree.

Zong Sheng left the central area with his hands behind his back.

According to the original plan, he now strives to go to the [library] to read books every day.

Use this to gain attribute growth.

as he leaves from the east side of the central area.

The face with eyes closed on the ancient tree of knowledge suddenly opened its eyelids.

Under the withered bark of the tree are two dark eyes.

It stared at the direction Zong Shen left for a long time before closing its eyes again.

Zong Shen knew nothing about it.

After leaving the central area, he took out the loader mecha.

Driving the mecha towards the library outside the central area.

…

Five or six minutes later, he arrived outside the [Advanced Library].

There are several farmers and warriors reading in the [Library].

It was still several hours before the time to assemble before noon.

It happened to be a time for the residents to move around freely.

Zong Shen has no restrictions on this.

During this time, they can choose to go to the [Training Ground], come to the [Library], or even lie down in the double-story stone house to sleep.

He parked the loader mecha and quickly walked into the [Library].

The little Shuling girl who came back last time appeared in front of him.

With his previous experience, Zong Shen skillfully chose the "Memoirs of Gluck's March" he read last time.

He read this book for about two hours last time.

Just continue reading now.

You can get twice the result with half the effort when reading in the [library].

It’s still quite impressive over time.

The book spirit took out the book and handed it into his hands.

Zong Shen grabbed the book and climbed up the circular staircase in the center of the library to the third floor.

Still found a seat by the window.

Sitting at the table, holding the book, I started to open the catalog, found the place I read last time, and started reading.

…

While he was studying. Mariel has already set off.

She led two hundred farmers, dwarf uncles and two blacksmith apprentices towards the mine.

For this purpose, she drove a loader mecha and brought more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.

No way, the farmers' walking speed is so touching.

It's forty or fifty kilometers from here to the mine.

The load-bearing mecha has to run for more than an hour.

If they were allowed to walk, it would take at least ten hours.

This does not include the rest time.

After all, the physical fitness of farmers is incomparable to that of soldiers.

Therefore, ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages had to be used.

It will take about three or four hours to arrive.

This time there were two teams of fourth-level lion guard knights and a team of fifth-level lion charge knights accompanying them as escorts.

In addition, Zong Shen also dispatched another pair of wolf cavalry teams to assist in garrisoning the mine.

This team of wolf cavalry will assist in escorting the loader mecha transporting the ore!

After these two hundred farmers are sent into the mines and receive simple mining training, they will gradually become miners.

Therefore, the output of the mine will become higher and higher.

By then, Zong Shen estimated that the mine would have to deliver at least several more trucks of ore every day.

That's why it was necessary to send another team of wolf cavalry to take turns escorting the team originally stationed there.

In addition, Mariel also brought along the seven new heroes that Zong Shen brought back from the unclaimed territory last night.

Familiarity and running-in are necessary.

These new heroes went out with her to learn about the strength of Zong Shen's territory.

The weather today is just as good as yesterday.

It's just that the temperature isn't as high as yesterday.

The warm sunshine shines on the earth.

Leaves a bright light and shadow.

The arrival of a new day is like an unstoppable pace, so determined.

Wait until noon, the second Balrog Boss will spawn.

It was time for the regional lords to gather again.

With previous coping experience, Zong Shen was not worried at all.

Relying on the properties of frost magic gems and the territory’s gem reserves.

He is sure to recreate yesterday's pattern and quickly eliminate today's Balrog boss.

The premise is that the lord system will not be temporarily changed.

In fact, that was the only thing he worried about.

Although the frost gem combat method cannot be copied, it is even less popular.

Among all the lords in the world, he is the only one with such a perverted lord.

Zong Shen always felt that the lord system would definitely be prepared.

He would never be allowed to eat up points so happily.

This is also a situation that he is worried about now.

At this time, Howie and the others were also preparing for the farming skills training conference.

These farmers in the library basically come to borrow related farming books.

Books from the library can be taken out, and books obtained from other sources can also be stored there.

Books that are simply taken out for reading will not be affected by the library's buffs.

The time required for complete reading and the attributes required for reading will be restored to their original levels.

However, training conferences require teaching materials, even if they are superficial, it doesn’t matter.

That's why I need to borrow some books.

These are all being prepared by the heroes under his command. Zong Shen doesn't know much about them and doesn't care much about them.

As a lord, he only needs to make decisions and issue orders.

The heroes under his command will naturally execute it.

What Zong Shen has to do is to accept the results and adjust strategies.

…

Time passes quickly.

When Zong Shen put down the "Memoirs of Gluck's March". "back.

It was already three hours later.

The time has also come to around 10 o'clock in the morning, and there are still about 10 minutes before 11 o'clock.

Zong Shen stretched.

He closed his eyes again, letting his eyes soothe.

Sitting for long periods of time reading made his eyes tired.

After a brief rest, Zong Shen closed the book and stood up.

Call out the book spirits in the library and choose to return the books.

After finishing, I walked back to the first floor along the circular staircase and left the [Library] directly.

Suddenly, I walked out of the door, and the sunlight above my head was too dazzling.

Zong Shen raised one hand to cover it slightly.

He quickly walked to the clearing and took out the loader mecha.

For him, the Weight Bearer Mecha is more like a convenient means of transportation for magical energy.

When moving within the territory, it is more convenient than riding a horse or other mounts.

Because it can fit the Weight Bearer mecha into a portable storage compartment.

But he couldn't keep any living things with him.

Except for the old traveling horse that was given by the system by default when it first landed.

That was completely a special case, and it can no longer be done.

The speed of the loader mecha is also just right, making it convenient for commuting within the territory.

There is still one hour left before 12 noon.

He planned to return to the Lord's Fortress first.

After spending the same five or six minutes, he returned to the central area.

First, he took out the communication crystal to contact Vereesa, Doris, and Luna.

Let them gather all the soldiers before 12 noon.

And he himself returned to the Lord's Fortress.

Same as always. The Lord's Fortress was deserted during this time.

Everyone basically went out.

Zong Shen was sitting in the living room on the first floor.

Taking advantage of this free time, he was ready to give it another try.

Use the power of the devil to break down the remaining evil dirt on the [Holy Spirit Heart].

Every time you use demonic power to decompose the evil scale, there is a saturation time.

The more it breaks down, the longer it takes to saturate.

The last time he was in the state of demon transformation, he decomposed the evil scale.

Therefore, a large amount of evil dirt was decomposed.

During this time, he also tried to communicate with the power of demons again to swallow the evil dirt.

Unfortunately, it has no effect.

This means that the time has not yet come.

Today he is going to try again. After all, there is not much evil stain left on [Holy Spirit Heart].

Just break down and peel off all the remaining evil stains.

Then this [Holy Spirit Heart] can be completely unsealed.

Speaking of which, Mariel bought this [Holy Spirit Heart] from the [Market] unintentionally.

At that time, it was completely covered in evil.

Ordinary lords have no idea what its true nature is.

And it is difficult to peel off the evil dirt on the surface.

Zong Shen is different. He has a strategy module and can see various notes and tips.

That's why he can see through the true nature of the [Heart of the Holy Spirit] beneath the stain of evil.

And by chance, he also mastered a method that can decompose the evil stain.

According to the previous strategy tips, the level of this [Holy Spirit Heart] has reached the overlord level.

It also corresponds to the grade of the [Devil's Heart] that he originally fused.

However, his [Devil's Heart] has been strengthened several times.

First, it swallowed the remaining soul and remaining demon blood of the Dread Lord Balnazzar.

Then he swallowed the remaining soul of the Shadowfallen Demon.

These two enhancements have made the original [Devil State] a lot more powerful.

I just don’t know if the power of this [Holy Spirit Heart] can compete with it.

But at this moment, Zong Shen remembered another detail.

When he fused [Devil's Heart], he was prompted to be in a disabled state.

Because this [Devil's Heart] has been partially absorbed by Spider Web Monster Lord Leopold.

So after two strengthenings, Zong Shen estimated that [Devil's Heart] and [Holy Spirit's Heart] were probably in a relatively balanced state.

Of course, this is just his own guess.

However, even if there is a slight deviation, it doesn't matter.

Because Zong Shen had already prepared.

Thinking of this, he took off the chain mail glove on his right hand.

He took out the [Heart of the Holy Spirit] with his bare hands.

Now most of its main body is exposed.

Only a small part still has the evil stain attached to it.

Zong Shen grabbed it in his hand, and with a thought, he began to communicate with the power of [Devil's Heart].

Waves of surging demonic power followed his veins and reached his right hand.

These demonic powers seep out of the skin like black smoke.

In an instant, the entire [Heart of the Holy Spirit] was completely enveloped.

A black fog shell formed on its surface.

Is this layer of mist shell constantly surging and moving, like a living thing?

Under such circumstances, Zong Shen quickly received clear feedback in his hands.

The power of the devil begins to break down the evil dirt!

This means everything is just right. .

There wasn't much evil dirt left, and it was all peeled off and decomposed in just half a minute.

All these evil stains were absorbed by Zong Shen's body.

Correspondingly, the level of the skill of the same name he mastered has been increased.

This means that the defense area of ​​the Evil Scale will also increase again.

In the previous battle to conquer Eagle Sauce.

The dirt of evil has been put to great use.

Its defensive ability is unquestionable, and to some extent it can be called abnormal.

But now Zong Shen has no intention to study the dirt of evil.

Because something strange is happening in his right hand.

His right hand holding the [Heart of the Holy Spirit] began to tremble unconsciously.

This is because a force appears.

"call out!"

"咻咻咻..."

Rays of milky white holy light broke through the black fog shell composed of demonic power like a sharp sword.

This reaction came so suddenly that Zong Shen was caught off guard.

These holy lights shot straight up to the ceiling of the first floor.

After hitting the bluish-gray boulder slab, it quickly disappeared without a trace.

These holy lights do not seem to cause harm to other things in the outside world.

But it conflicts with those demonic powers.

In just an instant, the demonic power surrounding the [Holy Spirit Heart] reacted violently with these holy lights.

"Zi la!"

There was a boiling sound like water exploding into a hot oil pan.

They reacted with each other, and even an indescribable glue smell appeared in the air.

Zong Shen felt that the [Holy Spirit's Heart] in his hand was trying to break free from his grasp.

The [Devil's Heart] in the body also became restless.

Frantically mobilizing large amounts of demonic power in an attempt to encircle and suppress it.

Fortunately, such a change was quickly suppressed by Zong Shen.
