Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Her gratitude comes from the bottom of her heart.

Almost everyone among the lords in the area knew that Zong Shen was very wealthy.

But being rich is one thing, being willing to give is another.

Every lord who has survived to this day is a hamster.

I wish I could hoard every penny in the territory.

Not to mention 20,000 dinars and 5 treasure boxes, even 2 dinars and empty boxes are not willing to be given.

These treasure chests and dinars can help Jiang Yi develop faster.

Compared with other fancy reasons, the practical significance they bring is the most important.

Therefore Jiang Yi's gratitude is completely sincere.

Zong Shen smiled and waved his hand.

"You are welcome."

"You have always been worried about the legion."

"The increase in your strength is indirectly equivalent to the increase in the legion's development speed."

The meaning of rewards based on merit is very clear in his words.

Jiang Yi no longer hesitated and raised her hand to put away all the treasure boxes and dinars.

Medina was deeply shocked by the scene before her.

Five treasure chests and 20,000 dinars are given to Zongshen as he says!

Is this the benefit of following a big boss?

In the early stages of the crypt challenge, Medina's development progress was actually higher than Jiang Yi's.

However, after Zong Shen recruited Jiang Yi to create the "Legion of Guides", Jiang Yi's development progress suddenly caught up.

By now, Medina had no advantage against Jiang Yi.

The two are basically lords at the same level of development.

After accepting the treasure box and dinar, Jiang Yi returned to her previous calm appearance.

She turned her head to look at Medina, raised her eyebrows slightly, and gave him a hint in her eyes.

The latter immediately understood Jiang Yi's intention.

Medina stood up on her own initiative, picked up the wine glass and said to Zong Shen.

"Master Zong, I came here this time to discuss the merger of the legions with Master Jiang."

"I am willing to incorporate all members of the [Light Chaser Legion] into your [Guide Legion]."

"In addition, I am willing to obey your orders. With my experience in legion management, I may be able to serve as Mr. Jiang's deputy."

Medina's attitude was very respectful and his posture was very low.

He is even willing to serve as Jiang Yi's deputy.

In fact, his management and organizational abilities are just as strong as Jiang Yi's.

If it weren't for his variable, I'm afraid Jiang Yi would now be a member of the [Light Chaser Legion].

The difference in skill and level between the two is still very obvious.

In addition, Medina is also a guy who knows how to advance and retreat.

During the Crypt Challenge, he was suspected of using tricks to get Jiang Yi to seek help from him in order to blackmail her into joining the legion, but that plan was later ruined by Zong Shen.

This kid didn't have a fit, but came up to make friends with a smile on his face.

After that, at the end of the Crypt Challenge, he also took the initiative to come to Zong Shen’s territory to support him and expressed his good attitude. Later, the [Guide Corps] was established. When he knew that Jiang Yi was the deputy legion, he wisely did not If he tries to get close to Zong Shen again, he often looks for opportunities to get in touch with Jiang Yi.

Until now, Zong Shen has become the recognized strongest lord in the region.

Not only was it announced multiple times with gold and silver banners.

He even tamed the black dragon in the Poison Swamp that slaughtered hundreds of lords and thousands of accompanying warriors.

Medina gritted his teeth and simply chose to fully merge the legions.

It can be regarded as handing over a weighty certificate of nomination to Zong Shen.

Although Medina seemed very sincere and kept her attitude very low, it was not so easy to gain Zong Shen's trust.

Jiang Yi and he have established enough trust.

It is impossible for Medina to directly replace him by taking a step in at this time.

At most, Jiang Yi can arrange a small deputy position for him in the army.

There are many positions with different functions within the corps.

As for the rebellion in Medina, Zong Shen was not too worried.

It cannot be said that it is completely impossible, I can only say that the possibility is extremely small.

He was completely confident.

Strength gives him the confidence to sit firmly on Diaoyutai.

But this cannot be said in front of Medina, and he has to communicate with Jiang Yi privately.

"This is a wise decision."

"You should also be able to see the future trend."

"The appearance of the Legion is actually a signal."

"In the future there will only be one legion in each region."

"Every surviving lord gathers together for warmth and seeks opportunities for development."

"Instead of everyone acting in chaos like now, it's simply a mess."

Regarding Medina's statement, Zong Shen directly agreed.

He has absolutely no reason to refuse such a thing!

After receiving an affirmative answer, Medina's face lit up with joy. Just when she was about to say something, Zong Shen stretched out his right hand, tapped his knuckles on the table and added.

"But my legion has not been upgraded yet."

"We cannot continue to expand."

"You might have to wait two days."

"I will complete the Legion upgrade before the defensive challenge begins."

"Anyway, all the upgrade conditions are met."

"As for other matters, let Jiang Yi arrange it after the merger of the legions is completed."

"In addition, please be sure to compile a form about the members of the [Guide Corps] and give it to Jiang Yi for review before merging."

"The form requires the following data for each member."

"They are the lord level, the territory level, the number of farmers, the number of warriors of each level, the number of heroic talents, and the professions and specialties before the arrival."

"Just finish it in two days."

Naturally, Zong Shen would not accept everything as ordered, but was prepared to set a certain threshold.

As the number of legion members increases, their occupations and specialties before their arrival are also a very important indicator, because Zong Shen is preparing to recruit some talents from the lords to rebuild the earth's technology tree.

Of course, he is not prepared to completely replicate the earth's technological route.

After all, there are more mysterious magic energy systems and magic elements in this world.

According to Zong Shen's plan, he just wants to popularize some technology trees on the earth that can increase productivity.

As for the high points of the earth, it will be difficult to climb up in a short time.

The most appropriate approach is the "grasping with both hands" policy that he has always pursued.

That is a practical technology tree that replicates the earth to improve productivity and combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, it is to establish the scientific research and manufacturing system of Endless Continent.

When the time is right, maybe we can try to integrate with each other.

For example, the rune forging technology that the Black Iron Dwarves of the Endless Continent are good at can be regarded as the dawn of materials science.

Alchemy is somewhat similar to chemistry.

Engineering is mechanical engineering on Earth.

The magic energy core is equivalent to the power core, similar to the positioning of steam engines, internal combustion engines, and electric motors.

Magic energy can be understood as a special kind of energy.

As for the magic elements, it is even more magical.

Each series of magic elements has different elemental characteristics.

As for things like nuclear bombs, in another world, they are no less than lighting up the fire of the sun.

Trying to figure out a nuclear bomb from scratch would be as difficult as going to heaven.

In short, Zong Shen wants both the technology of other worlds and the technology of Earth!

With the expansion of the legion's power and the improvement of his own strength.

The scope of influence will also become wider and wider.

At that time, we might really be able to recruit a lot of talents from the lords.

In addition to scientific research talents, various types of technicians are also indispensable.

This is a long-term plan that Zong Shen has in mind, but there is no need to rush to see the results.

Medina stood where she was, and after patiently listening to Zong Shen's words, she understood what he was thinking. The first purpose of the list was to understand the situation of the [Legion of Guides], and the second was to screen personnel. , eliminate some lords who do not meet the requirements, and give priority to absorbing those who meet the requirements.

"I understand Master Zong."

"I will do everything you want within two days."

At this time, Zong Shen also stood up and raised the wooden wine glass from a distance.

"Then let's have a drink!"

Medina raised his glass and the two drank it down.

Zong Shen put down the wooden wine glass and turned to look at Jiang Yi.

"Then I will return to the territory first."

"If you need anything, just use the crystal to contact me."

This came and went, and more than half an hour passed.

Zong Shen simply came to hand these treasure boxes and dinars to Jiang Yi.

Now that the matter has been settled, the matter of Medina has also been dealt with by the way.

Then it's almost time for him to return to his territory.

Jiang Yi will continue to be responsible for the follow-up of these legion affairs.

All he has to do is take some time in these two days to complete the upgrade of the legion.

"Okay, sir, I'll see you off!"

Jiang Yi stood up and said, and Medina quickly agreed.

Zong Shen naturally had no objection and sent the two to the door before waving them in.

Xiao Heizi was lying on the ground, scratching the ground with the sharp claws of his forelimbs.

A series of traces were drawn like a fence.

The open space outside Lord Jiang Yi's courtyard was originally flat, but now it has been dug into a mess.

Zong Shen walked directly along Xiao Heizi's tail to the saddle on its back.

Sit down safely.

He waved to Jiang Yi and Medina behind him.

"Bye now."

"Let's go, little Heizi, and return."

This time, Xiao Heizi didn't hesitate much and simply spread out his black wings and took off.

Return towards the territory.

On the spot, Jiang Yi and Medina watched him leave. He didn't speak for a long time.

Until Xiao Heizi's figure completely disappeared at the end of the sky.

Jiang Yicai was the first to come to his senses.

"Lord Zong is gone..."

She whispered, and Medina nodded in realization.

"Do you find it shocking and unreal?"

Jiang Yi said with a smile.

Medina turned her head and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"To be honest, sometimes I even feel that we and Master Zong are not the lords who came down at the same time."

"Based on his development progress, I still believe it even if he is said to have developed two or three years ahead of schedule."

Hearing what Medina said, Jiang Yi's smile became somewhat helpless.

"To be honest, my thoughts are the same as yours..."

"Master Zong should have his chance."

"We just have to face the consequences."

Medina nodded blankly.

"Master Jiang is right."

"Now that Master Zong has made his decision."

"Then I won't disturb you. I'll go back and complete the list now."

"Two days are a bit tight, so I have to race against time!"

Medina waved his arms as if he was in a panic. It was obvious that he had been stimulated by Zong Shen.

In fact, anyone who comes into close contact with Zong Shen for the first time will be shocked.

This is the ideal template for every lord.

When Jiang Yi heard what he said, she would not force Medina to stay here.

"fair enough."

"Just come to me directly after the list is made."

"I'll leave in a moment and prepare to go to Bosbon."

"If there's time, I should be able to get back before the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

"The food reserves in the territory can only last for a week."

"That's how much I have in stock after I redeemed my points for some scones today."

"There are less and less prey around."

"Affected by the demands of the lords, even the nearby villages no longer have food for sale."

"If you want to buy food, your only choice is to go to Bospan or use violence."

"It just so happened that Lord Zong gave me 20,000 dinars. I am going to purchase a batch of food and come back, at least to be able to sustain it until the end of the defensive challenge."

Jiang Yi said bluntly.

Food reserves are a big problem for every lord.

Those lords with high development progress in the region generally have hundreds of people.

The development progress is average and there are still dozens of people.

Gathered together, it is not a small number.

The villages in the area have large areas for farming, farming and animal husbandry.

The output of primary agricultural products such as grain and meat is also sufficient.

It's just that this "sufficiency" is based on the original population standard in the village.

Ever since the lords appeared, this supply and demand have been out of balance.

Many lords obtained food and supplies from the indigenous people by purchasing or looting.

But the total number is limited after all.

If it weren't for some hunting as a way to supplement food, the food from a few nearby villages would not be able to supply the rations needed by the lords and people in the region for a long time.

Many lords have actually been living a life of lack of food and clothing.

Fortunately, every time you redeem points, there are channels to redeem them for food.

After a few factors were balanced, everyone was able to survive.

To truly solve this problem, we still have to rely on everyone to farm their own fields.

During the challenge, farming was a no-brainer and no consideration at all.

Only after the challenge month is over can farming be started seriously.

Hearing that Jiang Yi was going to Bosbon, Medina gritted her teeth and took out 2,000 dinars and handed it to her.

"Since Mr. Jiang is going to Bosibon."

"Then please help me bring some food back."

"I also used points to redeem some today, but more points were used to redeem [special props]."

Medina said sincerely that even the legions are ready to merge, so these two thousand dinars are naturally nothing, not to mention that Zong Shen just gave Jiang Yi 20,000 dinars, and Jiang Yi is much richer than him. .

Jiang Yi did not refuse, readily agreed, and directly collected the dinars.

"no problem."

After the two exchanged some more pleasantries, Medina returned to the yard, picked up the horse, greeted the accompanying soldiers and returned to the territory.

Jiang Yi didn't waste any more time and asked the maids to clean up the long table.

She herself walked to the territory storage box to make final preparations.

This time I went to Bosbon, purchasing supplies was secondary.

What's more important is to complete a task.

When I was exploring a surface ruins in Azshara near Dinan Village.

An excellent grade dagger was found.

The attributes of this dagger were very ordinary. She couldn't see the details of the related skills. She could only test them based on the name. The power was very average.

But the name of this dagger was interesting and caught her attention.

[Baron Bezos’ beloved portable dagger]

While messing around on the regional channel these days, she also found out that Baron Bezos was the man in charge of Bosbon.

So this time she was going to try her luck with the dagger, maybe she could trigger tasks and rewards.

She is not Zong Shen. After seeing the detailed notes, she needs to figure out everything by herself.

This is the normal state of ordinary lords.

After sorting out the items she needed to carry, she walked out, preparing to gather the accompanying soldiers and set off for Bosbang immediately!

…

At an altitude of 1,000 meters, Zong Shen rode Xiao Heizi to the sky above the territory.

It was still more than an hour before dark.

The sun is no longer dazzling and looks much gentler.

Overlooking the entire territory from the air, one can see the citizens being as busy as ants.

Rows of temporary straw sheds have been erected in open spaces in farming and pastoral areas.

There are at least two to three hundred of them densely packed.

Farmers pushed wheelbarrows one by one to transport batches of resources into the hay shed.

Heroic talents are also helping to use portable storage compartments for transportation.

The statistics and classification of resources have been completed, and now we are doing the last step, which is to store them.

Equally lively is the living area.

Except for the original two-story stone house, bonfires were raised in the surrounding open space.

[Second-story houses] were built one after another.

Zong Shen's original idea was to set up a tent and let the new residents make do with it for a few days.

However, Luna and the others soon discovered that setting up a tent was not worth the gain.

Small tents can only accommodate one person, while large tents not only consume materials but are also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

It would be more cost-effective to build a house for the people.

[Second-level cottage] requires [First-level straw shed] as the basic building.

Each cottage can accommodate 6 people.

The construction cost of a single house is [timber × 40], [stone × 15], [iron × 8], [hemp rope × 3], [hemp × 3].

Only 800 need to be built to accommodate 4,800 people.

The resources required are approximately [Wood × 32000], [Stone × 12000], [Iron × 6400], and [Hemp × 26400].

This small amount of resources is not worth mentioning at all compared to the territory's current reserves.

With the blessing of [Artisan Divine Will] and territory technology, consumption can be reduced a lot.

The final consumption numbers are [Wood × 16,000], [Stone × 6,000], [Iron × 3,200], and [Hemp × 13,200].

The construction time of a single seat without relying on [engineering] is about one hour.

However, the number of farmers in the current territory is no longer what it used to be.

Just place some more ghosts and let the farmers build them.

It can meet the start of construction of hundreds of buildings at the same time.

Under such circumstances, magnificent residential areas appeared outside the living area!

After the challenge is over, you can also relocate the planned location.

At the same time, these houses can be further upgraded in the future!
