Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

As early as after the novice period is over.

Attacking unequipped monsters will no longer drop recruitment coupons or equipment.

But you can still get experience points normally!

Moreover, [Manic Water Elemental] will still be "shipped" in addition to experience points.

They have [Magic Crystal] in their bodies.

The effect of this crystal is similar to [Magic Restoration Potion] or [Magic Spring Water].

Can be used to quickly restore magic points.

When Zong Shen and Jiang Yi were exploring the island in the middle of the lake, they also killed a lot of water elements.

Got a lot of [Magic Crystals].

These are actually the added values ​​brought by the arcane crystal fragments here.

If Zong Shen takes it away, those [manic water elements] will also become extinct.

They will lose the essential power that unites their appearance.

It’s not far from the territory anyway.

If you really need it, you can come back and take the pieces away at any time.

In addition to the above reasons, the most important point is that Zong Shen currently has many trump cards.

There is no hard requirement for this powerful arcane crystal fragment.

Therefore, he chose to let it remain in the lake.

He just thought about it while waiting for the [water storage] to be completed.

The seven or eight minutes of waiting seemed very long at this moment.

Fortunately, Zong Shen was quite patient and waited calmly.

As [Water Storage] comes to an end, the waves rippling on the lake gradually calm down.

A full fifty tons of lake water has been absorbed.

Zong Shen also withdrew his hand holding the [Condensing Water Orb (Purple)].

After solving the [water storage] problem, it’s time to return.

The round trip time plus the time for [water storage] will take about twenty minutes.

I don’t know how much health the Balrog Boss has left.

When he left, the Balrog Boss still had about 83% of its health remaining.

There was no interference from the Frost Gem, and there was no strong intervention from Zong Shen.

Just rely on the band attacks of the lords.

The HP of the Balrog Boss decreases at a very stable rate.

No lord could sustain a high-intensity attack for too long.

However, the number of lords is constantly adding up.

As time goes by, more and more lords will arrive on the scene.

Therefore, the blood volume of the Balrog Boss decreases at a rate that will generally show a slight upward trend.

It's just that this trend change appears to be very slow over its duration.

In these twenty minutes, I think there shouldn't be any fluctuations that are too outrageous for me.

Riding on the flying tiger, Zong Shen patted its big furry head.

Let it return towards the spawn point of the Balrog Boss.

Even though Feihu looks like a ferocious tiger, in fact Feihu is much gentler than Yingjiang.

At least that's the case in front of Zong Shen.

Because of its taming method, it is also more loyal to Zong Shen.

Not as unruly and rebellious as Yingjiang.

I saw the flying tiger flapping its wings and rising into the sky with a thunderous roar.

It also only took four or five minutes to return to the sky above the scene of the crusade.

In the past 20 minutes or so, the Balrog Boss' health has been reduced by about 2%.

After conversion, the current hour can almost reduce the boss's upper limit of health by less than 8%.

If the Fire Demon Boss doesn't fight back, according to this trend, it should be eliminated in another ten hours or so.

However, as the Balrog Boss's blood volume decreases, it will gradually enter a counterattack state.

And the intention to attack will become stronger and stronger.

This also means that the difficulty of your next attacks will increase.

In fact, if Zong Shen hadn't intervened forcefully.

If only the lords in the area wanted to completely eliminate the Balrog.

It will take at least seventeen or eight hours, or even longer.

The 24-hour duration specified by the lord system is actually quite compact.

This standard is arrived at after weighing by the lord system.

Zong Shen could figure out its intentions.

As a system to grasp the macro development progress of all lords.

It actually does not intend to allow all areas to successfully eliminate the Balrog Boss.

There will definitely be at least some areas where the boss cannot be successfully eliminated within 24 hours.

The challenge activity itself is challenge + experience + gain = growth.

It is a composite activity.

The real purpose is to quickly train the lords.

It is also a competition of survival of the fittest.

It’s just that this kind of competition needs to be relatively gentle.

It’s not like you have to be wiped out if you fail.

If you fail to do well in the challenge activities, you will get fewer benefits accordingly.

In this way, the gap between salty lords and radical lords will be widened.

There is no doubt that this is a quick development strategy.

Any area where the Balrog Boss can be eliminated within the duration.

It can be regarded as an area with strong comprehensive strength in the entire region.

As a price for not being able to destroy the Balrog Boss, the next regular temperature in the area will rise by 10°C.

Life can also get harder during challenges.

The initial number of people arriving in each area is 10,000.

There will inevitably be some lords with relatively high development progress and relatively strong strength.

This is the so-called "one in a million".

These powerful lords often had considerable numbers of warriors.

It also has some powerful output methods.

The reason why they can lead in development is simply because they are smarter, braver or luckier than other lords.

In short, there must be some shining points in these lords.

They are often able to cause far more damage to the Fire Demon Boss in their respective areas than ordinary lords.

A powerful lord is basically equivalent to the attack efficiency of dozens or even hundreds of ordinary lords.

As for Zong Shen, he was even more of a pervert among powerful lords.

The effect of his gem strategy yesterday was unparalleled.

The magic gems consumed are valuable to any lord.

That's why the Balrog Boss can be eliminated in just three or four hours.

As a result, he received a global announcement with a golden banner.

The appearance of the banner illustrates his performance in killing the Balrog Boss yesterday.

Already constituted a breakthrough act.

Today, although he is subject to certain restrictions, he still has the means to deal with it.

That is [Cruel Blood-Burning Arrow (Purple)].

In fact, even if there are no blood-burning arrows, he can still choose to use band force to intervene.

That means attacking for an hour or two and then resting for an hour or two.

Participate in combat intermittently at a fixed frequency.

Taken together, at least 20% to 30% of the HP of the Balrog Boss can be killed.

The remaining health points will be left to other lords in the area to deal with.

In comparison, the difficulty of killing in this area has dropped.

At the very least, it can be guaranteed that the Balrog Boss can be successfully eliminated in this area.

Zong Shen can also get a lot of points.

But this way, it will always be much harder.

It's not as simple and crude as yesterday's frost gem tactics.

After solving the [water storage] problem.

Zong Shen rode the flying tiger directly and flew to the head of the Fire Demon Boss.

He planned to use the [Water Storage] skill on top of the Balrog Boss's head without restraint before it entered the attack state.

Below, the Limo Guards and Pendragon Loyal Guards he had summoned had long since expired.

Has disappeared.

Zong Shen can directly release [Water Storage] without any scruples.

He took out the [Water Condensing Orb (Purple)] and let Feihu hang sideways in the air.

This action is not difficult for it.

The air is also Feihu’s home ground.

Zong Shen only needs to stretch out his arm and choose to release it.

Suddenly, his hand was like a fire hydrant with a broken valve, spraying out a huge stream of water.

When this stream of water spurted out, it was only as thick as a waist.

By the time it fell on the head of the Balrog, it had turned into a water curtain more than ten meters wide.

It was like a small waterfall, washing over the Balrog from head to toe.

The Balrog Boss itself is a heat source filled with fire elements.

When it was suddenly poured with water, it immediately made a "sizzling" sound.

The lake water absorbs heat and is evaporated into water vapor.

It is different from the previous [water storage] that was released from the outside to the inside.

This time, fifty tons of water poured down from its head at once.

The momentum was even greater than before.

The water flowed down again, and the steaming water mist was poured again.

In this way, the Fire Demon Boss was completely shocked.

The burning sound of "squeaking" is endless.

It even blocked the sounds of attacks from the lords from other directions.

A large amount of water vapor was evaporated, directly filling the nearby area of ​​several hundred meters.

The steam is a bit hot.

It itself has absorbed the heat from the Balrog Boss.

After the steam engine appeared on the earth, every time the pressure was released, the surrounding idlers had to be dispersed.

It's because the hot steam can steam people in an instant.

The current scene once again proves the power of steam.

The steam spread out unexpectedly, causing the surrounding lords to retreat in panic.

The attack at the scene actually stopped.

At the same time, the fifty tons of lake water poured down also caused some damage to the Balrog Boss.

However, the damage value is not too high.

From the perspective of the impact it has on it, the physical changes are greater than the damage value itself.

The magma in the nearby ground cracks solidified again.

Even the body of the Balrog Boss is like this.

The scorching fire element lost its heat and condensed into black volcanic rock.

After the lake was filled with water, the body of the Balrog Boss seemed to be covered with a layer of black stone armor.

This "stone shell" isolates the heat conducted from its body.

This situation will recover over time.

Just like before for about ten minutes.

Zong Shen's purpose of going to [Store Water] was just for these ten minutes.

Only the high temperature on Balrog's body was isolated, and he carried out a close attack.

It is a pity that cavalry is still difficult to play its role in this situation.

Even as the surrounding lava begins to cool.

However, the ground has undergone obvious changes in the area tens of meters around the Fire Demon Boss.

The terrain is highly undulating, and where the drop is most obvious, there are even depressions five or six meters deep.

There are pits and cliffs all around the Balrog.

It was difficult for the cavalry to successfully launch a charge attack.

Otherwise, Zong Shen would definitely transfer the Lion Knights over.

Let's start with a few rounds of charging attacks against the Balrog Boss.

Because of this, he didn't even bring the Skeleton Knight this time, let alone the Lion Knight.

The accompanying Wolf Cavalry and Immortal Lancer are only used as emergency patrol mobile units.

Prevent the wizards and long-range warrior teams responsible for the main output from being attacked.

The cavalry is of no use, but the infantry soldiers can still get close.

But there are still some problems.

Unless all infantry soldiers are as powerful and agile as Zong Shen.

Therefore, large-scale knight charges and infantry raids do not need to be considered.

An'an still focused on long-range attacks, supplemented by Zong Shen's own close combat.

Launch rounds of strikes against the Balrog Boss.

After watering the lake, he let Feihu dive directly into it.

Put him on the ground first, and then keep him at a height of about ten to fifteen meters.

Assist Zong Shen in launching the attack.

As for himself, he stood at the feet of the Balrog Boss, using his finger tiger to punch continuously.

Hey! ha!

Boxer Zong Shen is officially online!

Each of his punches can cause about two hundred points of bludgeoning damage to Balrog.

The stone shell on the surface of the Balrog's body is very hard.

Zong Shen beat it with his finger tiger, which was no different from hitting a rock.

Putting the knuckles on the knuckles is like putting on a simple metal glove.

So we won't let him go head-to-head with rocks with his bare fists.

Zong Shen hammered very hard.

The more this happens, the more brutal the scene becomes.

The lords who originally attacked vigorously around the Balrog Boss but retreated due to the water vapor were all shocked when they saw this scene.

But they all know that this person is the famous Zong Shen.

So it's not surprising that he could do such a cruel thing.

Challenge the Boss in the hand hammer area!

He is the only one in this area who can do such an exaggerated thing.

It would have been unthinkable to happen to any other lord.

"Bang bang bang..."

The savage hammering continued for several minutes.

In this way, Zong Shen caused tens of thousands of points of damage to the Fire Demon Boss.

Once again, I gained thousands of points.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is just his operation of hand hammering the boss.

It is equivalent to the effect of an ordinary lord leading his soldiers to attack with all their strength for ten minutes.

And this is far from Zong Shen's peak state with full buffs.

There is no way, the gap in strength is so big!

In front of him, the stone shell on the surface of the Fire Demon Boss had been completely shattered by him.

The manic fire element was revealed again, shining his face red.

The rolling heat was released again.

The environment at the scene became unsuitable for close combat again.

Zong Shen could actually barely tolerate such a temperature.

But he won't continue to attack reluctantly.

It is no exaggeration to say that the heat emitted by the Balrog Boss can easily cook the meat.

He stepped back five or six meters one after another.

Just this short time.

His hair had begun to twist and shrink.

If we continue to force close combat.

Even if the perm couldn't kill him, it could burn off his hair.

"Slipped away."

He muttered something to himself.

He raised his hand and waved to the flying tiger in the sky.

Feihu, who was originally carrying out auxiliary attacks in the sky, immediately flew down after seeing Zong Shen's gesture.

Hanging to the side, two meters above the ground.

Zong Shen grabbed its claws and climbed up like an ape.

Climbed behind Feihu's head.

After Zong Shen sat firmly, Feihu let out a thundering roar and flew back.

Returned to the position where the soldiers were stationed.

Now, the attacks from the soldiers under his command began to become sparse.

The crossbows of long-range soldiers have obvious durability loss.

A large number of arrows and crossbow bolts have been consumed.

Moreover, this consumption cannot be recovered.

Each arrow or crossbow bolt hits the Balrog Boss.

A ball of sparks will explode outside its body.

The scorching fire elements in the body of the Balrog Boss will burn the arrows instantly.

As for the masters, they have also entered a period of fatigue.

All the [Magic Spring Water] distributed with him has been consumed.

They can only meditate cross-legged.

Launches a round of magical attacks every few minutes.

Because of the differences in level, intelligence attributes and talents.

Everyone's magic value recovery rate is different during meditation.

This also resulted in the mages' subsequent attacks being unable to be synchronized.

Whoever recovers first will attack first.

As a result, their attacks here seemed sparse.

However, they have been able to persist in their full output until now.

It can be considered a good performance.

Normally, after other lords launch an attack, they can only maintain the high-intensity output of their subordinates for about ten minutes.

A crusade like this is not like defending a territory.

There is a lack of logistical supplies and no defensive towers to support attacks.

The test is the ability to fight in real time.

In other words, it’s the team’s explosive ability.

Ordinary lords often have to rest for more than an hour after ten minutes of high-intensity output.

Only in this way can we have the ability to launch a new round of attacks.

In comparison, the performance of Zong Shen's soldiers was already outstanding.

This is also quite normal.

First of all, the materials in Zong Shen's territory are relatively abundant.

The soldiers are in relatively good condition.

Secondly, the level of the warriors under Zong Shen is generally 3 to 4 levels higher than the average level of the warriors under other lords.

This is also the case with the dharma masters.

In Zong Shen's territory, the veteran mages who have occupied the meditation room for a long time are much higher than the mages of other lords in terms of level, magic damage and wisdom attributes.

Therefore, among the same type of soldiers of the same rank, the soldiers under Zong Shen are much stronger.

This difference becomes particularly evident in this context.

It shows the strength of Zong Shen's soldiers.

All in all, after losing the gem strategy.

For Zong Shen, the crusade against the Fire Demon Boss became a long and relatively boring process.

This made Zong Shen, who was used to quick battles, uncomfortable.

In fact, this is the original intention of the lord system.

Even if the Balrog Boss can be eliminated in an area, it will still take time and effort.

It doesn't want to kill the Balrog Boss in just a few hours like yesterday!

Therefore, it is no wonder that the lord system will be adjusted.

Thinking about it this way, the gem strategy is indeed a bit too perverted.
