Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

At this time, Zong Shen had just finished packing the [Magic Energy Drilling Machine].

He slapped it with his backhand and put it into the storage compartment.

Its durability has been greatly lost, and it needs to be brought back to the territory for Ironhand Barenc to repair it properly.

Zongze once obtained an item called [Mecha Lubricant] before.

After use, it can restore 80 points of durability of mechas and magic equipment.

He got a total of 6 copies of this thing, but he didn't carry it with him.

After returning to the territory, it happens to be handed over to Ironhand Barenque, who should be able to repair the durability of this [Magic Drilling Machine] to over 80%.

It has to be said that such functional magic equipment can be used in many ways. .

There is a specialization in the art, just like in digging the earth, the professional advantages of the drilling machine are unparalleled, even the epic level powerhouses have to look at it.

Stock up on more magic mechas and equipment to be prepared for any emergencies!

It's a pity that the territory currently does not have the ability to independently manufacture complex magic mechas and equipment.

When I have the chance, I must go to the goblin city.

Not to mention robbing the magic mecha, at least some alchemy and engineering talents are needed.

Zong Shen kept this small goal in mind.

As the saying goes, you don’t get rich by pulling down trees, you have to rob to get rich!

After putting away the [Magic Drilling Machine], he rummaged through the storage compartment.

The mechas of the Burden series were all used by Luna to relocate the kobolds and reserve miners in the mine.

Of the two [Magic Drilling Machines] brought out, one was given to King Ragnar, and the other had just been put away.

Now he also has [Armed Container Mecha] and [Goblin Airship] from goblin merchant Boswell in his storage compartment.

He put this [Goblin Airship] away after Vereesa and Tasia returned with the remaining Lion Skeleton Knights.

The speed of the container mecha is not fast, and it is even a bit bulky and slow.

In comparison, the airship is a very good choice.

It’s just that the target was too big after taking off, which is why he would rather choose a drill than fly an airship.

But now I don’t have so many worries.

He decided to continue on his way using the airship.

The speed of 80 kilometers per hour is much faster than that of a drilling machine.

As long as it stays at an altitude of 70 to 80 meters above the ground, it shouldn't be too noticeable.

Even if he encounters any danger, this height is enough for him to land quickly or activate [Levitation Technique].

After making up his mind, Zong Shen took out the [Goblin Airship] with his backhand.

After passing through the hatch and entering the cockpit, he started the turbofan and was ready to take off.

…

At the same time, Zong Shen was more than twenty miles behind.

Gurta and Le Tai had just used the effect of Swift Flying to pursue them.

Suddenly, the big Gurta stopped.

"What Gurta?"

Le Tai appeared and asked curiously.

I saw a surprised expression on Gurta's face.

"Damn it, the induction of the Blood Fang Mark has completely disappeared!"

Hearing what he said, Letai blinked and asked in an uncertain tone.

"disappear?"

"you sure?"

This means that the opponent must master at least level five detection magic to see through the attached mark.

And if you want to make the mark disappear, you need to dispel magic or purify magic at the fifth level!

This Bloodfang Mark is the unique brand of the Bloodfang Mercenary Group. It is equivalent to the fifth-level induction magic. The effect is extremely exaggerated. Even if it is more than 100,000 kilometers away, the mark can sense the general direction.

The big Gurta had veins popping out on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"That's right, it just disappeared!"

"And it disappeared completely!"

"That damn monkey, don't let me catch him!"

"Otherwise I will twist off his hands and feet and stuff them into his anus!"

Gurta had no patience to begin with, but now that the mark disappeared, the only opportunity for venting and revenge disappeared, which made him furious!

Assassin Letai's face is still gloomy, his temperament is like a poisonous snake, and anyone who looks at him will stay away from him.

Compared to Gurta's impatience, although he was equally angry, he could still remain rational.

"Wait! Gurta!"

"He should have put that drilling-type magic machine into the storage space!"

"Do you forget it?"

"In this chaotic space area, he can still open the storage space!"

"Including the drilling machine that helped King Ragnar escape, the drilling machine he used himself, and the bombs thrown along the way, all prove that his storage space is not disturbed by regional space disorders!"

Le Tai stopped where he was, looking far away, and came to a conclusion.

After hearing what he said, Gurta regained his composure.

"So, that guy should still be where he is?"

"Let's go, keep chasing!"

"Xunfei's speed is not slow. I should be able to catch up some distance before the time limit expires."

Gurta carried the giant ax, surrounded by wind magic power, and flew towards the location where the induction disappeared!

Lethai also followed closely and re-entered the stealth state.

As a high-level scout and assassin mercenary, he can enter stealth state anytime and anywhere.

Stealth under normal conditions is level four, and special stealth can reach level six.

Level 4 normal stealth can be maintained for a long time, while level 6 stealth can only be used at critical moments when action is needed.

I wonder if Tiezhu can become as strong as Lethai in the future.

…

Zong Shen was busy tinkering with the airship and did not notice that the distance between Letai and Gurta's gold standard had shortened a lot.

After two or three minutes, the airship took off smoothly and flew towards the predetermined location.

It’s not far from two other marked locations worth exploring.

There is still about ten kilometers to go.

After taking off, looking into the distance from the cockpit, it seems that there is no longer a rocky ground, but a dark green forest.

It was at this time that he noticed the change in the distance between Gurta and Letay.

It was only seven or eight kilometers away from him!

And it's still approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Even as fast as the Manticore Tiger!

According to the speed at which the distance is shortening, they will reach Zong Shen's location in two minutes at most.

So the airship that just took off immediately fell downwards.

It would take a minute or two just to land smoothly. He took out the [Time Stop Orb (gold)], hoping that he would have enough time.

"It seems that this fight is going to be impossible without a fight!"

Zong Shen muttered to himself.

He is actually holding back anger in his heart!

He was always the only one who chased others and beat them up, but when had he ever run away in such a mess?

Just to be sure, he decided to ask the system again.

"Are the two epic mercenaries accompanied by Nord royal guards or other soldiers?"

(They have separated from Queen Sandina's team. The reason why they are chasing you is purely for revenge. The big guy left a fifth-level mark on your drilling machine. This is the reason why they can lock your position.

As mercenaries with reckless backgrounds, they are all greedy, murderous, cruel, and vengeful guys. Before they became epic-level powerhouses, they did countless evil things.

After becoming an epic mercenary, he is subject to the rules of the mercenary group and can barely abide by certain contract rules.

It is worth mentioning that the Bloodfang Mercenary Group has focused its business on the Kingdom of Nord. There are rumors that their leader has been bewitched by Queen Sandina to kill the half-armored giant Gurta or the black-blooded scout. Le Tai, you will be able to get some clues about the Bloodfang Mercenary Group)

After seeing that the guide said that these two guys had parted ways with Queen Sandina's team, Zong Shen finally felt relieved.

And judging from the meaning of the guide, it seems to be encouraging him to kill Letai and Guerta.

In this way, we can get clues about the Bloodfang Mercenary Group.

From this point of view, this Bloodfang mercenary group seems to have a great influence on the future trend of the Nord Kingdom.

This was a bit beyond Zong Shen's expectations.

Normally, mercenary groups represent organizations that lick blood from their swords.

There seems to be no comparison with the Kingdom's regular army.

Even some local knights are more formal than them.

However, there are many woods, and there are all kinds of birds.

After the development and inheritance of the best in the mercenary group from generation to generation, they can also become a very powerful mercenary organization. For example, the Blood Fang Mercenary Group can be regarded as a top mercenary group.

Epic powerhouses like Gurta and Le Tai can only be regarded as ordinary members in the team.

From this point, it is enough to see the strength and heritage of the Bloody Fang Mercenary Group.

This is a top-level mercenary group composed purely of high-end combat power!

Since the mercenary group does not have to undertake large-scale wars independently, there is no problem even if the Bloodfang Mercenary Group does not recruit low-level members.

Their fighting model doesn't require cannon fodder at all.

It also undertakes relatively high-end tasks.

In fact, Queen Sandina still values ​​this assassination very seriously.

Ask the Bloodfang Mercenary Group to send senior officials.

But as luck would have it, the Bloodfang Mercenary Group was busy exploring the hidden valley.

It is said to be a secret treasure left by the dwarves of the Three Forts in the last era.

Hidden in the center of the Nord Kingdom, the wide flowing Gold River flows from north to south.

It is divided into three forked rivers in the center of the kingdom, flowing in three directions: south, east, and west.

Wherever the golden river flows there are fertile river valleys.

Qiu Sui City, the third prince of Nord, is located in the river valley.

And this time, the suspected hidden location in the valley is near the Sancha River!

The reason is that there were frequent small earthquakes there some time ago.

It attracted the attention of the nearby giant city, and dispatched a number of high-level earth mages and knight squadrons to form an investigation team. As a result, several large cracks were discovered in the Sancha Valley, with light shining in them.

Before the founding of Nord, this was the place where the dwarves of the Three Fortresses were active.

Legend has it that the King of the Three Castles was the only extraordinary King of the Hill in the history of the dwarves.

It was also the co-owner of the Three Forts at that time who once established the imperial city in the Sancha Valley.

It just sank into the ground when the era changed and the blood-burning demons invaded.

Thousands of years later, a new race of humans emerged, and Saranson Lodbrok, the first king of the Nords, successfully established his country here. However, the three castle dwarves had long since fallen apart and moved to the mountains south of the walls of the gods to re-establish the Black Empire. Iron Keep, Wildhammer Keep, and Bronzebeard Keep.

Many clans have spawned around Xinsanbao, and they have always been in a state of indifference to the world.

Of course, even so, the dwarves of Sanbao are still far from their peak.

Being relegated to a corner has limited their development potential.

Ever since the news about the dwarven secret treasures hidden in the Sancha River Valley came out, it has attracted much attention within the kingdom, including the Ragnar Kingdom, which has also issued an investigation order. From the giant cities directly controlled by the Lodbrok family, A strong exploration team has been prepared.

Ragnar would not have left in a hurry if King Guther Pendragon's letter had not arrived in a hurry and involved the future ownership of the Kingdom of Avalon.

The old King Guser's days are numbered, and this is no secret among the top brass of the mainland kingdom.

There are rumors that the reason why his red dragon blood baptism failed was related to the curse of the era.

Originally, even if he failed, King Guser could still live for another ten or twenty years. However, not only did the baptism fail, but he was also eroded by the overbearing dragon blood.

Today, there are at most two or three years left to live.

It is said that the Pendragon family was originally searching for treasures that could increase their life span.

However, due to the secret suppression of several princes, it was not implemented well.

They are all waiting for King Guthera to pass away so that no one can suppress them.

King Guser naturally understood this, but what could he do?

Order your own children to be killed?

First of all, the princes and princesses gathered their respective forces.

After breaking up, King Guther will face the same situation as Ragnar.

That is the outbreak of civil war in the kingdom!

This is what he doesn't want to see!

As long as he is around for a day, at least on the surface, many things will still run according to his will.

And his last wish is to find his most beloved daughter, the Fifth Princess Jenny, before he dies!

This time he wrote an urgent letter asking King Ragnar to go to the Kingdom of Avalon to meet with him.

Mainly for two things!

The first concerns the unrest that might erupt in the Kingdom of Avalon after death.

Once Avalon falls into civil war, the neighboring Kingdom of Nord will also be affected.

As long as the impact spreads, it can easily turn into a kingdom war.

At present, the relationship between the two countries is relatively harmonious.

Avalon's neighbor to the northeast is the Kingdom of Nord, and its neighbor to the southwest is the Sultanate of Salander.

Compared with the Salanders, who have weird customs and everyone holds crazy beliefs, the rough Nords are easier to get in touch with.

The Salander Sultanate is also one of the major human kingdoms where divine power and royal power are on an equal footing.

The Pendragon family and the Lodbrok family have always had close cooperation and ties.

Therefore, it is not too far-fetched that King Guther would seek out Ragnar Lodbrok.

Before the internal situation is already on the verge of chaos, foreign aid may be the only life-saving straw.

But Guser may not have thought that Ragnar faced no less problems than him.

Of course, the little actions of Queen Zandina and the Trivasin family behind her are no secret.

At least before this assassination operation, they used all kinds of schemes, involving royal power and family disputes.

The second thing is about King Arthur's founding treasure.

According to the saying in the Kingdom of Avalon, whoever can find the founding treasure left by King Arthur can build a new kingdom again!

To find this treasure, you need three things.

All are weapons, jewelry and equipment used by King Arthur.

They are [King Arthur's Sword (Glory)], also known as the Sword in the Stone, [King Arthur's Ring of Dominance (gold)], [Dragon Roaring Knights of the Round Table War Emblem (Special)].

The battle emblem was in Guser's hand, and the ring of command was in Zong Shen's hand, but they didn't know it.

As for the best Sword in the Stone, it was originally found among the boulders at the top of the King's Choice Mountain.

Just a few days ago, about half a month ago, a mysterious Nord knocked out the sixth-level guard responsible for guarding the King's Choice Mountain, broke into it arbitrarily, and easily pulled out the Sword in the Stone!

High-level photography magic and monitoring magic were deployed at the scene to record everything.

There are obvious Nordic characteristics that can be seen in that man.

The racial characteristics between the kingdoms are clear at a glance.

The man had a bald head, wore leather armor, and had a beard all over his face.

He is about two meters tall, has bulging muscles, and has tattoos of Nordic characters and ax and hammer marks on his body.

It is very likely that he is a strong man in the army of the Kingdom of Nord.

Not only was he able to easily knock out the sixth-level guard, he also avoided all the hidden offensive magic circles, and finally arrived at the boulder on the top of the mountain.

During this period, he seemed to be aware of the nearby photos and surveillance, but he did not deliberately destroy it and seemed not to hide his figure.

The most surprising thing is that he pulled out the Sword in the Stone with only one hand!

This strange sword has the will left by King Arthur, and only those chosen by the king can pull it out!

Beyond that, it cannot be shaken no matter how powerful it is.

No matter whether it is a high-ranking legendary powerhouse or even a mysterious demigod-level powerhouse, they have tried to pull it out, but they have all ended in failure. If they want to pull it out by force, unless their strength can surpass King Arthur at his peak!

But the Nord pulled it out easily!

From the picture taken, Old King Guser saw that [King Arthur's Sword] was still sharp, and the blade glowed with a snow-white cold light.

When the Nord raised the Sword in the Stone, a golden light came to the world!

On his back were nine redbud flowers and the roaring emblem of Dragon God Io!

The redbud flower and the roaring dragon are both classic emblems of Avalon.

The former represents the knights of Avalon, and the latter is the traditional emblem of the kingdom.

All are the marks left by King Arthur!

This shows that the rumors are true, and the person who pulls out the sword from the stone is the person chosen by the king.

And the mark left by that golden beam of light represents the inherited power left by King Arthur!

For King Guser, having his ancestral sword in the stone pulled out by a foreigner was absolutely unacceptable.

After pulling out the Sword in the Stone, the Nord directly jumped into the air. I don't know if he used some high-level flight magic, but he quickly disappeared without a trace.

No trace of him was found by any monitoring magic!

So he hopes Ragnar can assist in the investigation within Nord.

If the Sword in the Stone can be recovered, it will be equivalent to owning one-third of King Arthur's treasure trove in the future!
