Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

"Roar!"

Feihu roared softly and swooped down!

He suddenly lifted up to a height of about five or six meters above the ground, returning his huge figure to its original position.

The surging air blew onto the ground, blowing the grass below to both sides.

"Feihu, I'll leave the little Balrog at the end to you."

"let's go!"

Zong Shen first shouted to Feihu, then turned to Gugat and Rasma.

Gugat nodded slightly, jumped up, and jumped directly towards the ground.

The dreadlocks behind her are fluttering in the wind, making her look very chic.

Rasma, as indifferent as ever, quietly floated into the air and slowly fell to the ground.

The last person to leave was Zong Shen himself.

Like Gugat, he jumped directly. With their physical fitness, landing from a height of five to six meters would not cause any harm to the body.

After Zong Shen jumped down, Yingjiang also roared, flapped his wings and flew towards a small Balrog two to three hundred meters away. After the three of them landed, Zong Shen guided Rasma and Gujiat respectively. a goal.

He rushes towards the final goal himself.

The three of them plus Feihu just surrounded the four little Balrogs within a few hundred meters.

Gugat responded the fastest, even a little impatiently.

To it, the alien creatures in this world are beyond its knowledge.

Only hunting can satisfy the Predator's thirst for knowledge!

As for the aloof Rasma, she still said nothing and walked towards the little Balrog that Zong Shen had designated for her. She was like an indifferent ghost who was out of tune with the whole world.

Zong Shen actually didn't mind her personality and attitude.

But speaking of it, the familiar guy from Caniggia is more likable.

Looking at the two people's retreating backs, he curled his lips.

His eyes were locked on the little Balrog he had chosen.

This Balrog was about a hundred meters away from where they landed.

Zong Shen stepped lightly and soon arrived at a position more than ten meters away from the little Balrog.

Although it is called a small Balrog, it is actually not small at all. The so-called "small" is just small compared to the regional Balrog BOSS.

This guy is also about three meters tall.

The overall appearance is a miniature version of the Balrog BOSS.

It is also a pure fire elemental body.

A billowing heat wave is emitting in place, and a cluster of bright sparks will burst out from time to time.

There were no cracks on the ground, and no lava emerged. In terms of momentum, it was much inferior to the Great Balrog.

Zong Shen looked at it intently and began to check its properties.

[Scorching Balrog LV35 (Blue)]

[Blue Captain Level]

[Race: Elemental Creature]

[Magic damage: 94~97]

[Health value: 2500]

[Armor value: 30]

[Magic Resistance: 35]

[Skill: Double Fireball LV20 (The Balrog waves his elemental arms to condense two small fireballs. Each small fireball can cause 1.3 times damage to the target and cause 5 points of burning damage, lasting for 5 seconds. Cooling time 2 minutes)

Magma Torrent LV20 (The Balrog hammers the ground, triggering a torrent of magma to pounce on the target. The maximum shooting distance of magma under the current skill level is 20 meters. After hitting the target, it can cause magic damage of 3, 0 times burning damage, cooling time 5 minutes)

Passive skill: Elemental Body LV10 (35% reduction in physical damage received)

Scorching Field (Causes 10 points of burning damage per second to enemies within 5 meters of you)

Body of Flame (the body is filled with flames. When attacking with two fists, it can cause bludgeoning damage of 1.2 times the magic damage to the target, plus 15 points of burning damage. If the enemy directly touches the body of flame, it will also cause 15 points of burning damage. harm)】

(An elemental body that combines the element of fire with a small amount of demonic power, a captain-level balrog monster.

Has extra resistance to melee attacks, suitable for using crossbows or magic for long-range strikes)

"Elemental body..."

"It's a bit similar to the manic water element that I cleaned up before."

"The level of LV35 is indeed not low, but the captain-level strength no longer poses a threat to me."

Zong Shen tilted his head slightly and thought critically.

He thought of the captain-level monster he destroyed for the first time, the Stitch Monster Pato.

It took a lot of effort at that time.

He used long-range attacks to roam around, retreated while fighting, and even used the undamaged small rune door in the ruins of the temple to grind Pato to death.

But now Zong Shen has grown to the point where he can easily kill captain-level monsters.

Considering that the little Balrog possessed [Fire Field] and [Fire Body], Zong Shen decided to use a long pole weapon to attack it.

He thought for a while and soon had the answer in his mind.

He turned his hand and took out the [Wind, Fire and Thunder Trident] which he had not used for a long time.

Zong Shen held the black halberd pole with one hand, flicked his wrist and danced around.

Three halberd thorns cut through the air, leaving behind three different elements of light and shadow.

"It's time to take action!"

After getting a little familiar with the feel of the trident, Zong Shen stepped forward.

He entered the little Balrog's warning range before he got even a few meters closer.

Its reaction was faster than Zong Shen imagined.

"Jie!"

After letting out a strange cry, the little Balrog swung its elemental body and swung two fist-sized fireballs towards Zong Shen.

Zong Shen didn't even bother to hide. He still maintained his forward posture. He just took out the [Aurora Guardian Shield] with his free hand and raised the shield forward sideways.

"Bang bang!"

Two muffled sounds came in succession, and Zong Shen could feel a weak impact coming from the shield, which he easily resolved without even affecting his body shape.

With his strength attribute up to 233 points, the impact of the small fireball is simply nonexistent.

The two fireballs hit the shield like two blooming flame flowers.

【Block】

【Block】

They were unable to break through the shield value of the [Aurora Guardian Shield], so they were perfectly blocked.

It only left two dark burn marks on the shield surface, which reduced the shield's durability.

Zong Shen used this rampant method to break into the little Balrog.

A heat wave suddenly hit my face, like facing a burning furnace.

At this time, the little Balrog's arms made of elements suddenly hammered the ground.

The hammering point suddenly trembled, and a stream of magma as thick as a thigh spurted out.

Zong Shen dodged and jumped to the side of the little Balrog.

The magma flow shot out like a water column, and then fell to the ground after losing its potential energy.

It ignited the grass, leaving a line of hot flames.

The damage caused by this challenging monster to the terrain and environment will be gradually restored after the monster is destroyed. This was the case with the previous Balrog BOSS.

Wherever the Balrog BOSS spawns, the earth is sunken and cracked, and hot magma gushes out.

But after the Balrog BOSS is eliminated, the environment and terrain at the refresh point will quickly return to the original state.

Therefore, when lords fight challenge monsters in challenges, they don’t have to worry about causing real damage to the regional environment.

After Zong Shen jumped away, he immediately raised the [Wind, Fire and Thunder Trident] and stabbed at the little Balrog.

When the trident touched the body of the little Balrog, sparks arose.

"Bang!"

【-154】

【-156】

【-20】

【-20】

[Fire immunity]

Blue arcs of electricity, cyan wind blades, and fiery red flames exploded respectively.

It's a pity that the trident's fire damage is immune.

In addition, [Elemental Body] gives the little Balrog 35% physical damage immunity.

This blow only caused 350 points of damage to the little Balrog.

The percentage of physical damage immunity is still extremely impressive.

Zong Shen grabbed his arm, pulled out the trident, and took a few steps back.

The captain-level Balrog is still a challenge monster, although its attributes are far from powerful.

But it is still more difficult to deal with than Zong Shen thought before.

At least there will be some difference in the efficiency of killing.

Just when he was thinking about whether to change his weapon, looking at the elemental body of the little Balrog, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered something!

A smile appeared on his face, and he was immersed in the storage compartment. He quickly took out a large oval egg and threw it directly to the little Balrog.

When this big egg came into contact with the elemental body of the Balrog, a wonderful reaction immediately occurred.

The body of the little Balrog, which was almost visible to the naked eye, shrank rapidly.

A large amount of red pure fire element is absorbed by the big egg like water poured into a funnel.

In less than ten seconds, the entire little Balrog completely disappeared.

There was only the big egg that was swinging slightly and a red key.

The smooth surface of the eggshell exudes a faint red light.

[Kill the LV35 scorching Balrog]

[Gain 3260 experience points]

[Get 50 points]

[Balrog Key×1]

A prompt flashed, and Zong Shen gained 50 points and corresponding experience points.

Obviously, after Big Egg absorbed Little Balrog, the killing was attributed to him.

Due to the special nature of the elemental body, Zong Shen was unable to obtain power extraction value, nor could he perform soul extraction, but Big Egg's performance was enough to surprise him.

This big egg was an unknown item he had obtained from the points lottery before.

—[Unknown strange beast eggs (unknown)]

He was taking advantage of the ability of beast eggs to absorb "infinite amounts" of magic energy and magic elements to deal with the little Balrogs who were elemental creatures.

Apart from anything else, this killing efficiency alone is impressive enough.

Each little Balrog can contribute 3260 experience points. Based on his current level and experience points, he only needs to kill more than twenty little Balrogs to level up.

With just a little calculation, Zong Shen knew that this was another good opportunity for him to level up after the crypt challenge!

As long as he grasps it well, these little Balrogs alone are enough for him to rise to several levels.

His gaze suddenly became intense as he looked at the beast's egg.

He walked over quickly, knelt down, and touched the egg with one hand.

Just after absorbing the elemental energy of a little Balrog, the eggs also showed some changes.

The surface of the eggshell feels warm to the touch, but the heat is fading rapidly.

It only took more than ten seconds from the time the little Balrog disappeared until the heat completely subsided.

It seemed that the beast egg had completely digested the absorbed energy in such a short period of time.

Even if it generates heat after absorbing fire elements, it doesn't matter, because these appearances do not represent the upper limit of its absorption.

This is simply a change in properties produced by the energy of those elements.

Zong Shen held the beast egg in his arms and picked up the Balrog Key.

The eighty-centimeter-tall egg was comparable to a large dinosaur egg, so it was somewhat cumbersome to hold it like this.

But Zong Shen was holding it with a smile on his face, he was so precious.

At about this time, Feihu let out a low roar, fluttered his wings and flew back, landing next to Zong Shen, rubbing his arm with his huge head, opening his mouth and spitting out a key with saliva.

Zong Shen stepped on the key with his combat boots in disgust and twisted it with his heel several times.

He didn't pick it up until the key was covered with dirt, pulled out a handful of grass blades, wiped the dirt adsorbed by his saliva, and put it away in the storage compartment.

It killed the little Balrog faster than Zong Shen expected.

The spikes fired from the bone cavity at the tail can cause decent puncture damage, and because it can fly, it can quickly complete the kill and return to Zong Shen.

The second person to return is the Necromancer Rathma.

She flicked her thumb and threw the Balrog key to Zong Shen, then stood aside with her head lowered and remained silent.

In the previous battle, she did not use the astonishingly powerful high-level necromancy magic because Zong Shen didn't hear much movement.

He probably used [Quadruple Necromantic Arrow] or other necromantic magic with a lower cooldown.

If she hadn't been able to fly as fast as Feihu, she would have been faster than Yu Feihu in terms of kill speed.

It's just not as perverted as a beast egg, which can directly swallow magical elements.

Zong Shen went from observing, to charging forward, to launching a tentative attack, throwing beast eggs.

The whole process only takes about two or three minutes.

It only took more than ten seconds for the beast eggs to completely drain the little Balrog.

Even so, Feihu and Rasma were still able to kill them in about the same amount of time.

This is enough to show that long-range attacks do have a better effect on the little Balrog.

About half a minute after Rasma returned, the blood wolf Gugat, who Zong Shen had placed high hopes on, belatedly returned to his side.

Its battle armor is still smooth and clean, and the alien alloy has unique properties.

The Little Balrog's [Hot Field] could not leave any traces on the surface of the armor.

Gujiat was also a dull gourd. He nodded to Zong Shen and reached out to hand the Balrog key to him.

Then he stood back without saying a word, pretending that nothing happened.

This guy's attack efficiency is slower than Zong Shen expected.

But he didn't know that Gugat didn't focus on attacking during the battle.

Instead, he constantly tested various physical and chemical properties of the little Balrog.

There are no so-called "magical creatures" or "elemental creatures" in its cognition and worldview.

All creatures other than Predators are classified as alien creatures.

Under such cognitive conditions, Blood Wolf Gugat's curiosity was almost over the top.

Its iron-blooded armor is not afraid of ordinary high temperatures, and it can quickly kill the little Balrog even if it is attacked with a wrist blade or a bone spear.

However, in order to satisfy its curiosity, it deliberately slowed down its attack pace, tried various attacks, and drew many interesting conclusions from the little Balrog!

All the members met again. Not counting the gains of the temporary combat team, the three of them plus Feihu got 4 Balrog keys in this wave.

It seems that the small goal of 1,250 Balrog Keys should not be difficult.

If he had been more diligent, he would have gained much more by burning the midnight oil with the beast eggs.

The elemental absorption ability of the beast eggs, coupled with Feihu's mobility and the precise positioning of the small Balrogs by the strategy module, he alone can kill many small Balrogs in a row even after the temporary combat team returns to the territory after the killing operation.

After having a reliable countermeasure, Zong Shen's interest suddenly became high.

Let’s go, next stop!

Zong Shen climbed behind Feihu's neck.

Rasma and Gujat also returned to Feihu's back.

Under his command, the flying tiger flapped its wings and flew towards the north!

…

At the same time, in Zong Shen's territory, temporary combat teams were also ready to go.

One after another, they set off in different directions under Luna's overall arrangement.

Two high-level cavalry teams and the Lion Skeleton Knight Commando led by Favid also left the territory first.

If viewed from a high altitude, these temporary combat teams are like black lines drawn by the tip of a pen, rushing slowly but firmly to various directions.

There are now many territorial warriors.

It is also a large amount of work to complete a reasonable grouping and arrange an expedition plan.

When Vereesa is not in the territory, Luna becomes the backbone of the combat heroes.

Therefore, the current combat heroes in the territory, led by Luna and supplemented by Colby and Doris, are coordinating all warriors.

Match warriors of all levels and types into a team with a reasonable lineup.

These include those self-trained warriors inherited from unclaimed territories.

Because the composition of soldiers in the territory is relatively complex, there are various types of soldiers at all levels.

Therefore, it still takes a lot of effort to break up and form a temporary team with the ability to quickly destroy the small Balrog.

Zong Shen only made a rough deployment and handed over the most complex and arduous tasks to Luna and the others.

This is a kind of exercise for them.

According to the current arrangement speed of the team, it will take at least half an hour to complete.

The current situation is also a microcosm of future expeditions.

Especially as the number of people in the territory increases, any large-scale transfer will be extremely cumbersome.

It won’t be as convenient and fast as it used to be when a small team went on an expedition.

This is the reason why Zong Shen is thinking about establishing an administrative office and a military command.

In addition to searching for more heroic talents and building a huge hero control node.

There is also a need to establish more efficient administrative structures and command structures.

These are all actions taken by Zong Shen to prepare for a rainy day.

It is also a problem that every lord must face when developing to a certain stage.

Only by solving these problems early can we maintain the rapid development of the territory to the greatest extent.

The development strategy Zong Shen has prepared now is the problem that most mid-level lords will have to face in a year and a half.

The construction and development of the territory is a long road.

Zong Shen just walked faster than the others.
