Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The effect of [Fantasy Mask] can adjust his body shape within a certain range.

The reason why I chose to look like a centaur peon is, first of all, because it is much smaller than the centaur forerunner, and secondly, because the centaur peon does not have a high sense of existence. It is not easy to attract attention by using this image to blend into the centaur tribe. .

What bad intentions could a thin, humble centaur drudge have?

Carrying a wooden spear, Zong Shen scampered through the forest, running towards the centaur tribe with a clear goal.

After mimicking, he can perfectly imitate the movements and form of a centaur peon.

Including trying to run on four hooves is also a very novel experience.

Running at full speed with all four hooves on the ground is not slow, far exceeding that of ordinary prairie horses.

But just halfway through, Zong Shen encountered a dozen menacing Centaur Forerunners and Centaur Assassins, followed by hundreds of Centaur peons, who were obviously reinforcements called by the previous patrol. .

This time they collided with each other, and they saw that the centaur pioneer who was the leader had relatively complete armor and weapons. He should be the centaur elite remaining in the tribe, and he was also the leader of this group of centaur reinforcements.

When it saw Zong Shen, it immediately neighed.

Then he shouted in a strange language.

Zong Shen quickly asked the guide prompts to be translated. The language of these guys was very ancient.

The ancient orc language belonging to the last era is also called low common language.

"Despicable slave, do you want to run away from the battlefield?"

"Return to the team immediately and crush the enemy with me!"

After reading the translation with golden subtitles, Zong Shen suddenly felt embarrassed.

Although he has a translator and can understand what the centaur says, he himself cannot speak low-level common language.

Unless you give him another [Learning Tongue Candy].

In order not to reveal its secret, it walked to the back and entered the team without saying a word.

Seeing this, the elite centaur forerunner stepped forward, and the team started moving again.

At this time, Zong Shen had about ten thousand alpacas running past.

He could only hang slowly at the end of the team.

Fortunately, centaurs generally have no order and don't pay much attention to the advancing team.

If you let them rush back, the secret will most likely be exposed.

Especially the centaur patrol on the spot, they are not dead, they are just in a [Dream] lethargic state, which can be easily awakened by a slight attack.

Zong Shen followed the team, slowly thinking about countermeasures.

His consciousness sank into the storage compartment, and he took out [Pascal Contract's Big Bag (Gold)].

Time is passing by, and the big bag may be able to be used.

When he tried to activate it, a bright point of light appeared.

Zong Shen simply stopped and found that the group of centaurs were still moving forward foolishly, and no one noticed him at the end of the crane.

It doesn’t seem to be very difficult to escape!

The most important thing is that the big pocket seems to be able to be opened, which shows that the chaos in the nearby space has further calmed down. At this time, he noticed that the distance of the Ragnar Kingdom displayed in front of his field of vision changed from dozens of kilometers to 17,295 kilometers.

This shows that King Ragnar should have escaped smoothly. With the help of some space props, he ran to a place more than 10,000 kilometers away in an instant.

It should be some giant city that can guarantee his safety.

After it was basically confirmed that King Ragnar had escaped successfully, Zong Shen felt relieved.

He believed Ragnar could handle the rest.

As a king, he definitely has a lot of good things. If the space disorder hadn't affected the opening of his storage space props, Zong Shen estimated that King Ragnar could solve it even if he didn't take action.

With a thought, I eliminated his distance information, and my field of vision immediately became much clearer.

The only remaining dynamic distance marker is the Eye of Cthulhu.

I’ve seen people walking dogs, but I’ve never seen people walking eyeballs.

Zong Shen was just walking his eyes, and he was still walking a little far.

It's all because this Eye of Cthulhu is so weird, otherwise Zong Shen wouldn't have come here.

After regaining consciousness, the group of centaurs had already run away, but the light spot in front of them never expanded.

"Huh?"

"It seems that the intensity of the disorder has not been reduced enough."

Zong Shen thought of a possibility, but as soon as this idea appeared, the light spot finally changed.

It slowly expanded from point to surface and finally turned into a smaller space door than usual.

The height is only about three meters, and the width is a little distorted. The widest point is only two meters.

Normally, the size of the space door opened by the big pocket is much larger than this.

As the space door opened, the wolf cavalry and the barking team filed out of it.

Quickly gathering in the forest, the wolf cavalry looked at Zong Shen with doubtful eyes.

On the contrary, those two-headed hell dogs were relatively calm. They sniffed around Zong Shen and understood.

"It's me, this is my disguise."

Zong Shen said softly, and those wolf cavalry were immediately counted.

The last ones to come out were the lion skeleton knights. They were riding on undead bone horses and they were still quite big.

This space door is a bit cramped compared to them.

The team gathered again, giving Zong Shen a lot of confidence.

There are eleven squads of Wolf Cavalry left, and they all have different injuries.

After all, the wolf cavalry is only at level two, and casualties are inevitable when dealing with Goblins who have a numerical advantage.

The Paw Patrol Team and the Lion Skeleton Knights are in pretty good shape.

They deal with those goblins just like adults beating children, easily.

After the Goblin King turned evil, when he summoned the projection of the alien gods, Zong Shen let everyone run away in time.

Now Zong Shen didn't need them to attack the centaur tribe, so he ordered them to enter the forest to the north and wait.

Zong Shen himself put away his big bag and continued to run towards the centaur tribe in disguise.

The previous group of centaur reinforcements will arrive at the scene within a minute or two at most, and will definitely return by then. Try to sneak into the centaur tribe before they can react.

There are thousands of centaur peons in the tribe, and when Zong Shen gets mixed up with the large number of centaur peons, Zong Shen doesn't believe that he will reveal his secret.

He rushed into the forest and ran towards the centaur tribe from the side.

The direction just now was too eye-catching, so it would be better to take a roundabout way.

Because of the detour, it took him seven or eight minutes to reach the Centaur tribe from the side.

There are only scattered centaur patrols here, and most of the centaurs are gathered to the south of the tribe, which is the direction where Zong Shen flew the airship and the direction from which the explosion came.

Under such circumstances, Zong Shen easily blended into the Centaur tribe.

As soon as he walked into the tribe, he smelled a foul smell mixed with the stench of rotting flesh and blood.

It was like entering a horse farm filled with carrion.

"Please help me mark places worth exploring within the Centaur tribe!"

Zong Shen immediately asked the strategy module in his mind.

(All value points in the tribe have been marked for you)

After a simple prompt, more than twenty golden circle marks appeared in front of his field of vision.

All the places worth exploring in this centaur tribe were marked for him.

Including treasure chests, magic items, dinars, equipment, etc.

The biggest golden circle was the sight of the totem pole on his airship.

It's just that the totem is located in the south, which is exactly where the centaurs are gathering at this time.

There were flames blazing into the sky, and the smell of smoke could even be smelled in the tribe.

After the centaur reinforcements from the past return, there will definitely be another delay.

This is a good opportunity for Zong Shen to take advantage of.

He walked towards the nearest golden circle mark with his wooden spear in hand.

All the centaur's attention is on the south, and no one pays attention to a pitiful centaur laborer.

The centaur's concept of wealth is completely different from that of humans.

All straw huts and fur tents can be entered and exited freely, and everything is controlled by consciousness and hierarchy.

It just happened to be cheaper for someone.

None of the golden circle marking points were guarded. He walked carefully on the edge and searched each marking point one by one.

…

Half an hour later, with precise positioning and careful movement, as well as the convenience of storage compartments, Zong Shen successfully searched for all the golden circle marks except the totem pole.

During this period, we also encountered some centaur forerunners, but they all passed by in a hurry and headed south.

There were a total of twenty-three golden circle marks, most of them were scattered treasure chests, and there were also some dinars and equipment. Zong Shen accepted them all without having time to examine them carefully.

The group of centaurs still gathered in the south, seeming a little impatient.

The fire in the southern forest was also put out by the centaurs.

The Centaur patrol who had fallen into a [dream] state was brought back. At this time, they had woken up and were chattering in the crowd.

Zong Shen also quietly walked over and got behind a large number of centaurs.

At the same time, let the strategy module do the translation for you.

(The hateful tauren and humans must have joined forces!)

(That human must have come to destroy the Wildhoof Totem!)

(Before Khan defeats the tauren, we must protect the totem!)

(Ah! I really want to kill all those tauren!)

(I want to vent! Without blood, I can only mate!)

Lines of golden translation subtitles appeared, making Zong Shen feel a little pained.

There was actually an elite centaur pioneer at the scene who raised his front hooves and lay directly on a female centaur. A huge black club stretched out. The scene was unbearable to watch.

These centaurs are nothing like the graceful images of artists on Earth.

He seems to be a bit short-sighted, not low in intelligence, but also as manic as hysteria.

No wonder when Zong Shen saw the tauren and centaurs fighting just now, the order and combat coordination of those centaurs were completely incomparable to those of the tauren.

Compared with the tauren, the battles of those centaurs seemed crazy. They were not pursuing organization and combat efficiency, but more like a kind of endless venting.

Showed a high degree of fearlessness and cruelty.

But madness does not mean strong combat effectiveness. In large-scale operations, lack of organization and efficiency is fatal.

This is why Zong Shen is not optimistic about those centaurs.

Although he still doesn't understand why the centaur wants to fight the tauren to death.

Originally, he thought that the two were competing for certain survival resources.

But now he found that the fight between the two was somewhat personal.

It is very likely that the reason is racial hostility, that is, a feud.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen decided to ask about the strategy module, maybe he could get something out of it.

"Please tell me the reason why the centaurs and tauren here are fighting."

(This area is located within the jurisdiction of the giant city of Wolffang in the Kingdom of Nord. It is called the Meltwater Basin. It is divided by the rock base area. To the east is the green cypress forest, which is occupied by the centaur tribe Wildhoof.

To the west is a relatively flat land occupied by the Stonetalon Tribe of the Tauren Tribe. The diligent Tauren practice their faith in nature and have reclaimed large tracts of land and fertile farmland.

The conflict between centaurs and tauren stems from generations of mutual hostility.

They have fought for generations in the barren red desert of Karag and have now become their own ethnic cultures.

In particular, centaurs, creatures that are disorderly and love to plunder, are naturally at odds with the tauren who adhere to natural law. The only result of the two sides meeting is a fight.

In addition, as primitive tribes, both sides have been trying to take away each other’s tribal totems)

In addition to the reason for the feud, this totem is indeed an important factor.

Judging from the centaur's discussion just now, it turns out that this thing is called the Wild Hoof Totem. It is given the same name as the tribe, which should have a very important meaning to the centaur tribe.

It's just that these guys are gathered here, making it difficult for Zong Shen to find an opportunity to make a move.

He changed positions several times without even seeing the edge of the totem pole.

The sight of thousands of centaurs all gathered here is terrifying.

Especially among the centaurs, from time to time we can see some manic centaurs mating in place.

Both men and women are equine vaginas, and the disgusting mucus flowing out makes Zong Shen's scalp numb.

The reason why centaurs make Zong Shen feel uncomfortable is probably because they have the characteristics of both humans and horses, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of an horse, and they also do things that are incompatible with human thinking.

Now Zong Shen has to think of a way to lure them away.

Of course, there is the simplest way, which is to grab it openly.

There are so many centaurs, but few of them are elite warriors. To Zong Shen, they are all just some crooked melons and cracked jujubes, so it is easiest to grab them openly!

He took out the [Time Stop Orb (Gold)] and activated the [Time Stop] effect!

The golden time-stop ripples rippled out and soon covered a one kilometer radius.

For creatures below the epic level, [Time Stop] is very overbearing.

Not only do they become stagnant, they leave no memory of their time in stasis.

At the beginning, Zong Shen was the saint Safuri who was saved by using the [Time Stop Orb (Gold)].

Those dragonborn knights had no memory of what happened during this period.

However, when he stops, it will also put a burden on his body, especially if a single adaptation lasts for more than ten seconds, it may even affect his lifespan.

So far, Zong Shen has used time-stopping for more than ten seconds many times, and he doesn't know how much his life span has been reduced.

These were not things he needed to think about immediately.

At worst, eat the [Lifespan Fruit], or kill a dragon and take a baptism.

There are many ways to increase the lifespan limit in Endless Continent.

What's more, there are some special props that can directly increase lifespan.

He is not very worried about this!

When [Time Stop] took effect, Zong Shen immediately returned to human form.

The effect of [Fantasy Mask] can last for 24 hours, and there will be a 1-hour cooldown after 24 hours.

It is a very practical camouflage skill.

Zong Shen recovered his body in an instant. He jumped up and moved forward quickly on the bodies of those centaurs.

After more than ten seconds, he came to the side of [Desolate Hoof Totem]. He didn't even bother to check it, he just raised his hand and put it into the storage compartment.

Then he immediately reused the ability of [Fantasy Mask] to perform mimicry.

This time, what he imitated was not a centaur, but a gryphon with wings on its back!

He didn't react before, and it wasn't until he was running wildly with the body of the centaur peon that he had an idea.

After mimicking, he can have some of the corresponding characteristics.

For example, centaurs are good at running, so the raptor monsters they imitate should also be able to fly. At most, the speed is just not as fast as the raptor prototypes of the same level.

So this time after he succeeded, he tried to imitate the griffin beast.

After a few seconds of mimetic transformation, Zong Shen turned into a griffon equivalent to an elite level.

After getting used to it for a while, he flapped his wings and slowly flew up.

This speed is much slower than the elite gryphon, and slightly faster than the 80 kilometers per hour empty speed of the [Goblin Airship].

After taking off, he confirmed that he was out of the spear-throwing range of Centaur Assassin and Centaur Peon, and then he released the [Time Stop] effect. More than half a minute passed in the blink of an eye, and there was already some turmoil in the distant space and time.

After the contact with [Time Stop], those centaurs were a little confused.

They felt as if something had happened just now, but it seemed as if nothing had happened.

The mating centaurs continued to stir, and the surrounding centaurs also continued to watch.

But soon, they discovered something was wrong!

The most important Wild Hoof totem in the tribe has disappeared!

There is only a deep cylindrical pit in place!

Suddenly, the centaurs neighed like crazy and cursed viciously in low common language!

Soon, a centaur assassin with a keen sense discovered the gryphon flying far in the sky.

However, they did not see the totem pole on the griffin beast, so they quickly eliminated this suspicious target. After all, with their IQ, they could not imagine what happened just now.

The [Time Stop] state is a period of time that does not exist for them.

Therefore, the disappearance of the Wild Hoof Totem really subverted the perceptions of these centaurs.

And the gryphon passing by in the air was Zong Shen.

He was now planning to fly to a place a few kilometers north of the Wild Hoof tribe.

The Wolf Cavalry was still there on standby.

He had to rearrange these warriors.

Now that he can fly on his own and has successfully obtained the totem pole, it would be better to seize the time and go to the last gold-marked location to check out the situation.

Time passed minute by minute, it was almost evening, and the Eye of Cthulhu would fly here in more than two hours, so he had to hurry up and act!
