Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Little Heizi is nearly fourteen meters long.

Its neck is long and its head is thin, making it look extremely ferocious.

The black wings behind him can reach a wingspan of nearly thirty meters when fully extended.

When it is flying in the sky, if it is not high enough, a large shadow will appear on the ground as it moves. At this time, the little sunspot is flying at a low altitude about two hundred meters above the ground.

The sound of air currents and the howling sound produced after the breaking wind echoed on the ground.

A size of more than ten meters is terrifying enough.

The length of large buses is only between 10 and 13 meters.

Before coming, many lords were affected by the information explosion and lacked knowledge of the measurement unit of more than ten meters. In fact, in the classic Ultraman, the height of the monsters was only fifty or sixty meters, which is equivalent to It's more than ten or twenty stories high.

If a giant dragon with a body length of more than ten meters and a wingspan of twenty to thirty meters appeared in reality, most people would be scared to death on the spot.

The scene of black wings flying through the sky also attracted the attention of Jiang Yi and the people.

Zong Shen came uninvited this time and did not say hello to Jiang Yi.

Looking at her territory from the air, it can be seen that the scale of Jiang Yi's territory has expanded a lot during this time.

Preliminary planning has also been carried out for the buildings in the territory.

It's just that her territory is different from the circular city area planned by Zong Shen. The overall planning is a square area.

Looking at the farmers below who are collecting resources all around, there are two to three hundred people in total.

There are hundreds of warriors of all levels.

This level of development is naturally not comparable to Zong Shen, but it is still very eye-catching in the region.

After the legion rules were updated, the legion members around Zong Shen moved to other places under Jiang Yi's persuasion, making room for his development.

After all, the new legion rules no longer limit the distance at which legion members can be recruited.

As long as you are in the area, you can theoretically join the legion.

Jiang Yi originally planned to take advantage of that relocation opportunity to move the territory dozens of kilometers away from Zong Shen, but he vetoed it at the time.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot contain two tigers, except one male and one female.

Zong Shen was confident that he could completely suppress Jiang Yi, so he would naturally not worry about letting her stay nearby.

And as his agent, Jiang Yi also has a clear positioning of herself.

She is a woman who can see reality clearly.

But this situation won't last long.

The expansion of Jiang Yi's territory is not slow either.

The straight-line distance between the two territories is only eight or nine kilometers, leaving little room for development for them.

He planned to allow Jiang Yi to move his territory to other places after the defensive challenge was over.

Since Zong Shenmo thought it was a friendly force, the soldiers in the territory below noticed the black shadow passing in the sky but did not attack. They just stopped what they were doing and looked up.

Zong Shen let Little Heizi fly directly to the four-story lord building in the center of the territory, found a suitable space for it to land in the surrounding area, and landed straight down.

Jiang Yi's life was pretty good.

The lord's small building has risen to the fourth level, and many simple wooden pole drying racks have been set up in the surrounding open space.

Simply marinated animal meat hangs on it.

The meat comes from daily hunting.

Therefore, during this period of time, even Zong Shen noticed that the number of beasts in the area was much smaller.

The originally cultivated farmland in Jiang Yi's territory was also abandoned due to challenges.

Food issues are a big deal to other lords.

They may not have as many dinars on hand as Zong Shen did.

It can all be solved by buying, buying and buying.

In fact, most of the lords' food sources depended on free prostitution.

The first is hunting, the second is sneaking around.

Many lords did all the work of the horse bandits.

If nothing happens, he will stand guard on a few trade roads, waiting for opportunities to kidnap some passing villagers or traveling traders.

In this way, people, materials and dinars were obtained from the indigenous people.

But they didn't dare to go too far.

No one dares to do things like plundering villages yet.

The main concern is retaliation from indigenous forces.

Their methods of extracting wool from the aboriginal people are still at the stage of making small fuss.

According to the current trend, I am afraid that in a month or two, the lords will try to plunder those villages.

When Xiao Heizi landed smoothly outside the lord's small building.

Jiang Yi also received reports from the territorial sentries and patrol soldiers under his command.

She went to Dinan Village this morning, and when she returned, she met Medina who was about to visit her.

So the two of them walked together and returned to the territory together.

Medina came here this time to discuss the merger of the legions with Jiang Yi.

He had been thinking about this for a long time.

It came about almost from the end of the Crypt Challenge, when he went to Zong Shen's territory to help fight against the underworld snake Apophis.

Zong Shen's strength was enough for him to admire from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, it is also a very wise choice for the lords of the Endless Continent to succumb to the strong.

It is inevitable for the lords in the area to cooperate or attack each other.

The same goes for the rise of strong men within the lords.

In the end, the integration of regions and the rise of overlords will be unstoppable.

For a lord like Medina who does well in the region but is always under pressure from the regional overlord, it is not a bad thing to join forces as soon as possible.

In the final analysis, Zong Shen's strength was too strong. The gap in their strength even made Medina unable to think of confronting him.

When Jiang Yi walked out of the lord's small building, Medina followed closely behind.

They just discussed the matter of the comprehensive merger of [Light Chaser Legion] and [Guide Legion]. Medina voluntarily gave up the main body of [Light Chaser Legion], and after the merger, [Guide] will be the main body.

The only difficulty at present is that the [Legion of Guides] has not yet been upgraded.

In fact, Zong Shen had been able to upgrade the legion a long time ago, but he deliberately got stuck.

The rapid expansion of the Legion is not a good thing.

Especially now that his strength has increased rapidly, resulting in a significant increase in the legion's influence.

The development progress of other lords and his are not on the same average line at all.

The same goes for the development of legions.

If other lords in the area have not grown to the appropriate progress, they will blindly recruit members.

The lack of necessary training and experience among the lords will affect the quality of the legion's development.

Zong Shen has his own set of standards for the next expansion of the [Legion of Guides].

In the process of going from 100+ to 1,000+ legions, he planned to set a certain recruitment threshold.

If a legion will eventually merge with all the surviving lords in the area.

Then these 100~1000 legion members are the foundation of the legion.

It can be understood as the foundation of a tall building.

The stronger the overall strength of these legion members, the higher the cohesion will be.

In addition, a complete legion power system can also be constructed during this period.

No matter how the number of legion members increases in the future, as long as the foundation is stable, the tall building will not collapse.

Zong Shen always considers problems from a long-term perspective.

But now, it's almost time to upgrade the legion.

At least the overall strength of Medina's [Light Chaser Legion] is still very good.

The most important point is that Zong Shende sets an example when necessary.

After all, Medina was considered a lord who was actively courting him.

These are all things Zong Shen has considered before.

"Lord Zong!"

Jiang Yi knew that Zong Shen was coming when she saw the huge black dragon.

Medina appeared much more apprehensive.

Even though his character was far tougher than that of ordinary lords, he was still deeply shocked when he faced the black dragon for the first time. Fortunately, Xiao Heizi did not enter the yard.

Zong Shen let him lie outside, and he walked through the gate and entered the lord's courtyard.

Zong Shen, who was used to the fortress-like courtyard of a high-ranking lord, looked at Jiang Yi's "old antique" courtyard and immediately felt that the defense was weak.

The lord’s fortress is still the most reliable!

Seeing Jiang Yi approaching, Medina was stunned for a moment and quickly caught up.

When the two of them came in front of Zong Shen, their expressions were more or less restrained.

Jiang Yi and Zong Shen are relatively familiar.

She bowed and saluted Zong Shen. For modern people, this was already considered a relatively high standard of etiquette.

Medina originally stretched out his right hand out of habit, but when he saw Jiang Yi's action, he quickly stopped the palm he was about to extend and bowed.

He didn't have much contact with the aboriginal people, and at most he only traveled to nearby villages.

Although I found out the location of nearby Bangcheng.

But the journey of hundreds of kilometers made him temporarily give up the idea of ​​going there.

Therefore, he has not yet had contact with the aboriginal nobles.

But those who recruited warriors and farmers saluted the lord differently.

After all, the identities of both parties are there.

Medina’s own strength and development progress are not slow either.

He can be regarded as a respectable lord in the area.

Apart from Zong Shen, there was no other lord in the area who could make him bow with fear and fear.

Using the words "sincere and fearful" to describe Medina's thoughts is actually not an exaggeration at all.

The Endless Continent is a place where strength is valued.

The pride on earth doesn't work here.

Only with strength can you have dignity and pride.

On this point, Medina is still very clear.

If you are strong enough, let alone the lords, even the aborigines will call you Ba Ba!

And now, this tyrant is Zong Shen!

In response to the two salutes and greetings, Zong Shen nodded to Jiang Yi first.

Then he turned his gaze to Medina, and extended his hand with a smile.

"Long time no see Medina."

Facing Zong Shen's extended hand, Medina quickly raised her right hand and shook it.

Zong Shen could take the initiative to shake hands with him, but he was not suitable.

This is strength.

If you have the strength, I have the final say.

Without strength, you have the final say.

After shaking hands with Medina, he let go.

"Master Zong, please follow me in first."

"Food and drinks are ready in the lobby."

At this time Jiang Yi took the initiative to say.

As the host, she must fulfill her duties as a landlord.

"Okay, then let's go in and talk."

"By the way, Jiang Yi, tell your subordinates not to get too close to Little Heizi."

"That guy is naughty and not very obedient."

Zong Shen said with a smile.

"Little...little Heizi...?"

Jiang Yi was stunned, feeling a little speechless in her heart.

She was still in awe of the dragon, and the massacre outside the Poisonous Mist Swamp was still vivid in her mind.

Unexpectedly, Zong Shen would name such a terrifying giant beast Xiao Heizi?

"This is probably the boss's bad taste, right?"

While thinking this in her heart, Jiang Yi turned around and took the initiative to guide Zong Shen and Medina.

The three of them walked into the lord's small building together.

The layout here is almost exactly the same as Zong Shen's original lord's building.

Entering the first floor is the lobby and restaurant.

The fireplace and long table are all of the same style as before.

The long table was filled with food and drinks, and there was even a fruit plate filled with fresh apples.

This shows that Jiang Yi still expresses enough respect for Medina.

After all, the other party came with sincerity to surrender.

Zong Shen nodded secretly after reading it, thinking about giving Jiang Yi more benefits later.

Jiang Yi naturally gave up the chair to him and asked the peasant woman on standby to clean up the table.

A new wooden cup was placed on the table.

This kind of wooden cup is very common in Aboriginal taverns.

The production process is similar to that of wooden barrels, which involves piecing together pieces of wooden boards of suitable size.

Then tie it tightly with iron hoop strips, and then apply a layer of special vegetable grease to make it tight.

Higher-end bars will provide ivory cups, rhinoceros horn cups, and ox horn cups.

If the specifications are further improved, the exquisite crystal cup will be made.

As for the glass produced by the alchemy workshop, no one cares about it.

The reason is also very simple. Although the glass is clear, it is too easy to break.

Endless Continent is a typical sword and magic world.

Putting aside those farmers, any second- or third-level warrior has physical strength comparable to five or six ordinary earthlings.

Don't think that five or six people are few. When the strength is gathered, it is very impressive.

In normal times, everyone can control their power freely.

But you can't tell when you're drunk.

It only takes a little more force on your hands to crush the wine glass.

Therefore, wooden cups are the most common.

After Zong Shen took his seat, two relatively young peasant women came forward with small wine buckets and filled his glass with wine.

These peasant women were specially selected by Jiang Yi.

They are generally under 30 years old, and their bodies and looks are quite regular.

Wearing a black servant robe, she is responsible for taking care of Jiang Yi's daily life, as well as cleaning the lord's small building and other chores.

It seems that the life of a fallen lord has affected Jiang Yi to some extent.

However, compared with some lords, Jiang Yi did not have a male companion by his side.

This is quite strange.

In fact, female lords and male lords are similar.

With the convenience of loyalty, some of the handsome and strong male warriors under their command will not refuse any of their requests, so there are also many female lords who have varying numbers of male companions.

After the advent, the biggest problem faced by the lords was actually the marriage crisis.

Two brothers, Zong Shen and Zong Ze, were pretty good. They were single before they came here, so they could pick up girls without any scruples.

But some young couples are about to suffer.

Even if they were torn apart, the key point is that the distance scale of the endless continent is often tens of thousands of kilometers.

They may not even know how far apart they are from each other.

Some couples who are in a good relationship can still maintain their relationship at first.

Later, they all fell apart neatly.

It's pretty good if we can break up peacefully.

It is said that in an area in the western part of the continent, the couple happened to land in the same area.

At the beginning, the couple could work together to make progress, but later it was not clear which party had problems first.

The talks collapsed, and the two sides fought fiercely, attacking each other's territory and killing farmers who went out to collect resources.

This incident caused an uproar and was regarded as a model by the lords, and even spread throughout the region.

So Endless Continent is simply a nightmare for couples.

Facing those handsome and strong male warriors or slim and beautiful female warriors, and having loyalty as a fetter, the loyal citizens are willing to sacrifice everything. There are no laws and regulations, and there are no moral constraints on the earth. Such a temptation Who can stop it?

Anyway, someone can't.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be some "sages" who are strict with themselves.

But compared to "saints", accepting temptation is the choice of most ordinary people.

Both Medina and Zong Shen have several confidantes.

Seeing Jiang Yi like this now makes both of them feel ashamed.

However, we do not rule out the possibility that she is hiding in a golden house.

Who knows specifically?

After Zong Shen sat down, Jiang Yi picked up the wooden wine glass.

"First let us toast Master Zong for a drink!"

Upon hearing this, Medina also raised his wine glass, and the three of them clinked their glasses gently.

The light red wine swayed, and the aroma of the wine immediately rippled out.

Zong Shen took a sip and estimated that the quality of the drink should be excellent.

After clinking glasses and drinking, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

This time Zong Shen didn't come here just to eat and chat.

He put down his glass and moved his chair back.

He raised his hand and pointed at the open space beside him, taking out five treasure chests.

Two black iron levels, two bronze levels, and one silver level!

Five treasure chests were piled next to him, their surfaces emitting haloes of different qualities.

Zong Shen may not care about these treasure chests, but that doesn't mean Jiang Yi and Medina can't care about them either.

Especially the silver treasure chest, which is definitely considered a high-end item in the treasure chest.

Zong Shen calmly pointed to the treasure box and said to Jiang Yi.

"This is part of the harvest promised before."

"Besides, I have decided to give you another dinar."

"When the defensive challenge is over, you can go to Bosbon if you have time."

"It takes about one to two days to ride a prairie horse. You will pass through a desert area on the way. Be sure not to go in when it is dark."

Zong Shen thought for a while, then withdrew another 20,000 dinars and gave it to Jiang Yi as top-up funds.

For Zong Shen, who has a balance of five to six million dinars, this is just a small amount of money.

The largest amount of 200 dinars was piled on the table.

He didn't have to go back to Medina because there was no need.

After hearing what he said, Jiang Yi only had an excited expression on her face.

"Lord Zong...you are so generous!"

Jiang Yi did not refuse, but thanked Zong Shen directly.
