Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Because the first batch of relocation construction in the territory has almost been completed.

Only some high-end buildings that took a long time to construct remain.

There is also only one outer ring of city walls erected, and the level is not high, it has just been upgraded to the second level.

These buildings are in a half-shadow and half-solid state. As much as they are built, the progress will be kept, and they can be built again tomorrow, so the second half of the night is the quietest state in the territory.

Mariel and Howie also went to rest.

In order to maximize efficiency, the construction model of three shifts was not adopted on the first day of construction.

After all the defensive towers have been relocated, the remaining farmers will take turns to build the city wall.

Therefore, in the next two days, the focus of construction in the territory will be on the construction of the city wall circle.

At this time, the territory was almost deserted except for the soldiers responsible for night patrols.

Zong Shen first led Betty and her younger siblings to the hot spring cabin and took out three sets of cotton and linen underwear.

Kaji and Olga's clothes need to wait until dawn for Alanna or other tailor apprentices to make them.

Currently, the [Tailor Shop] in the territory has begun to gradually train the second batch of tailor apprentices.

Alana deserves a lot of credit, but unfortunately her tailoring skills are only at the intermediate level. If she were a senior talent, she would be able to train more tailor apprentices and junior tailors for the territory. .

There is only one level difference between high-level talents and mid-level talents, but their gold content is completely different.

Recruiting talents requires time and effort, but there is no need to rush.

At present, everything in the territory is going well, and that is enough.

Betty and Olga took their clothes and went into the hot spring cabin to take a bath.

The little boy Kaji was left alone outside the door, sitting on the ground with his head in his hands.

Zong Shen couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

He also had to arrange accommodation for Betty.

And her younger brothers and sisters are still relatively young.

Kaji is only seven or eight years old, the second sister Olga is only eleven or twelve years old, and Betty herself is only nineteen years old.

We can only let them live in the lord's fortress first, since there are many empty rooms anyway.

It is enough for the three siblings to sleep in one room.

After the [Special Knowledge School] starts teaching, let Kaji and Olga go to school.

In addition, a girl as old as Olga can also consider being sent to a [tailor shop] to become a tailor apprentice.

When the freedmen reform begins in the territory, these craftsmen will definitely have a better future than other farmers.

Zong Shen stepped forward and touched Kaji's little head.

Sitting next to him, Zong Shen didn't need to take a shower.

There are also big eyes waiting for him to walk.

It is expected that we will have to take another walk, and the next one will be around ten o'clock in the morning.

So he was thinking about whether he should stop by the Aldrich Dance Company's residence in Winterlow City.

While waiting, he now has a lot of treasure chests stored, but he plans to wait until the divination before opening them.

Probably have to wait until the next wave of eyeball walking.

The rest of the supplies were sorted and classified by Mariel and included in the territory's resource reserves.

In addition to the supplies he previously purchased from the Golden Pocket Watch Merchant Group, it is enough to meet the resource consumption in the next stage, especially in the territory after the population has increased sharply.

One of Zong Shen's worries was solved, and he could finally relax a little.

It’s past four in the morning in the territory, and the sky is dark blue.

The stars have become dim, and the transition between day and night is approaching.

He wasn't sleepy at all, and he had even thought of a plan to explore after walking Big Eyeball.

There are currently about three days left until the defensive challenge.

Attacking the Goblin tribe was delayed for one day, and walking around with big eyes was delayed for another day.

Next, he will explore the ruins of Azshara under the rogue camp and the ruins under the Poison Swamp.

Now that he has collected four [Azshara Elf Keys (orange)] and has more permission to open the ruins, he can gradually explore the underground ruins of Azshara.

Betty and Olga washed quickly and put on new clothes.

I saw Betty holding the set of women's leather armor and hand crossbow that Zong Shen had given him before, and bowing to him respectfully.

"My lord, here are your leather armor and hand crossbow."

But Zong Shen waved his hand carelessly.

"You can keep it."

"Let Kaji take a shower, and then I'll take you to your accommodation."

"Wait until daybreak and someone will tell you what you need to do next."

Zong Shen sat on the ground and gently patted the little boy Kaji on the shoulder.

Kaji stood up and walked into the hot spring hut with his large clothes in his arms.

With his size, an ordinary coat can be used as a robe.

But there's nothing we can do about it, there are no children's clothes in the territory.

They can only let them make do until Alana makes new clothes tomorrow.

By the way, let Alanna make some baby clothes.

This was for his and Luna's child.

Five minutes later, little Kaji took a bath. During this period, Betty and Olga also had a preliminary glimpse of Zong Shen's territory. Such a scale can be regarded as a large settlement, not even an ordinary village. Such a scale, not to mention there is a very strong-looking lord's fortress beside it.

Only now did Betty realize that everything Zong Shen said before was true.

Zong Shen personally led the three people into the Lord's Fortress.

The Betty siblings were arranged in a spare bedroom on the fourth floor.

The Lord's Fortress, that is, the City Lord's Mansion, has reached level seven. The entire fortress consists of two parts.

The first part is the fortress courtyard surrounded by towers, and the second part is the main body of the fortress.

Every time the City Lord's Mansion is upgraded, both the fortress courtyard and the main body of the fortress will be greatly expanded in area. Each floor has terraces, bedrooms, restaurants, conference halls, and even secret rooms.

These rooms are automatically derived as the fortress is upgraded.

Basic furniture and beds are provided in the bedroom, so you can move in with your bags.

Currently, there are many vacant rooms in the Lord's Fortress, and there is no problem in accommodating three more people.

There were magic crystal wall lamps in the room, as well as tables, chairs and beds. The three Betty sisters looked at everything in the room in amazement.

"Get some rest."

"Someone will call you at dawn."

Zong Shen smiled and closed the door.

After going downstairs, he walked into his bedroom.

Luna had fallen into a deep sleep.

Ever since the Winter Challenge, she had become lethargic.

Before, Luna didn't even need to sleep, she was outside absorbing the moonlight every night.

Zong Shen slowly walked to the bed and kissed her on the forehead.

Luna's eyebrows trembled slightly, and then she opened her eyes.

Lethargy is lethargy, but her instinct as the Huntress of the Night is still there!

"Sir, you are back."

She looked at Zong Shen and showed a loving smile.

Very carefully he stood up and leaned against the head of the bed.

"Well, I rode a flying tiger from the Green Cypress Forest to Winterlow State City."

"I came back after purchasing supplies worth hundreds of thousands of dinars."

"There are food, fruits and vegetables, cloth, iron tools..."

"It should be enough to consume the territory for a while."

"The territory's population has increased dramatically in the past few days, and the consumption in all aspects is huge."

Zong Shen reached out and touched Luna's pointed elf ears, and spoke in a gentle tone.

During this time, Luna assisted Mariel in handling many internal affairs in the territory.

Now that he knows that Luna is pregnant, he will naturally not let Luna participate in any battles.

If she was allowed to take some time off to raise the baby, Luna would definitely not be able to sit still.

Just let her assist Mariel and share some internal affairs tasks that don't need to be scattered.

Hearing what he said, Luna nodded happily.

"I heard from Mariel and Fatty Three that the food in the territory will not last for another week at most."

"And that's despite only serving two meals a day."

"The original supply of apples and eggs has long since been cut off."

Luna obviously knows something about the territory's internal logistics.

At this stage of the territory, sufficient food and resources are the real ballast!

"Right Luna."

"I rescued a dancing girl from Winterloo State. She is a heroic talent."

"Now her younger brothers and sisters live on the fourth floor of the Lord's Fortress."

"I'll inform Mariel tomorrow and go greet her around nine o'clock in the morning."

"That girl is quite talented as a diplomat. You can consider letting her cooperate with Howie."

Zong Shen briefly told Luna about Betty.

By the way, he also mentioned what he had seen in Wintrobon City.

I saw Luna showing longing eyes.

As a warrior sleeping in another dimension, he is very curious about the cities of the current human kingdom.

"Sir, I will inform Mariel."

"Aren't you going to take a break now?"

She saw that Zong Shen was still wearing his armor and had no intention of resting, so she asked one more question.

Zong Shen shook his head helplessly.

"I have to go again in five or six hours."

"It's estimated that we won't be able to return to the territory until after two in the afternoon."

"Then you won't have to run out anymore."

"That Eye of Cthulhu is chasing me. This is the price for annihilating the Goblin tribe."

He himself never thought that one day he would be chased by a big eyeball for a whole day.

Fortunately, as long as he persists for another ten hours or so, he can wear out those big eyes.

He had brought Feihu with him in the first half of the night, so he was going to bring Yingjiang with him next.

As for that little bitch Xiao Heizi, he hid in the poisonous swamp again, and he didn't bother to make a special trip.

After all, the black dragon has no advantage in terms of pure flight speed, and it is too impressive. If the five-color evil dragon is discovered by the indigenous people, it will most likely be hostile and attacked, and it will easily cause unnecessary trouble. Compared with Under the circumstances, if you are simply on the road, it is more convenient for Feihu and Yingjiang.

Luna reluctantly held his hand.

Pregnant women always tend to feel insecure.

Zong Shen sighed. He originally wanted to go to the [library] to read a book, but finally decided to accompany Luna.

He took off his personal armor and equipment, put on a new set of linen underwear, and then climbed into bed.

Seeing that Zong Shen was willing to accompany him, Luna showed a slightly honest smile on her face.

Holding his arm, he rested his head on Zong Shen's shoulder.

Zong Shen took out the "Memoirs of Gluck's March" that he often read from the storage compartment.

The books he read in the [Library] several times before were all from this book.

Then I just kept it with me.

This book takes 180 hours to complete, and the current reading progress time is 9 hours.

If you read in the [Library], you can enjoy a BUFF that reduces the reading time by 30% and an additional 50% reading attribute gain, but now you can only read it.

After reading this book, you can gain 18 points of charm, 6 points of wisdom, and 3 points of the lord's passive skill [Domination]. It is considered a good book to increase charm. After the increase of 50%, the bonus will be considerable. .

Every time the reading progress reaches 10%, the charm attribute is calculated once.

After reaching 30%/60%/90%, the wisdom attribute and [Domination] will be settled.

So Zong Shen only needs to stick to the node.

While he was reading the book with one hand, Luna fell asleep again.

…

Three hours later.

Zong Shen's eyes were slightly sour.

He stopped reading before the reading progress reached the 10% point.

It was around seven o'clock in the morning, and it was bright outside.

Howie and San Pang were already awake and continued construction with the group of farmers who had rested first.

The next batch of farmers is expected to wake up at ten o'clock, and Mariel will wake up early at around nine o'clock.

Simply divide the manpower into two groups.

Before this evening, all the moved high-level defense towers and other high-level buildings will be completed. All that is left is to concentrate manpower and prepare to build the city wall in three shifts.

According to the pre-construction plan, it should be possible to complete the construction half a day before the start of the defensive challenge.

At that time, all the people in the territory will shrink their defenses and return to the center circle.

Unarmed farmers, in particular, will bear part of the logistical burden.

For example, repairing buildings damaged during the battle and delivering food supplies to the front line.

All warriors will fight based on the city wall defense line!

A total of three circles of city walls were built with the Lord's Fortress as the center and one hundred meters apart.

After accumulating a huge amount of resources, he originally wanted to build five city wall circles, but later he calculated that the resources were not enough. Building city walls on a large scale was the real gold-selling cave for urban infrastructure.

If you want to build a multi-in-one giant fortress city, Zong still has a long way to go.

Just to build a city tower that can completely protect the territory requires an incredible amount of resources.

It was difficult for ordinary lords to afford it, and they could only build a little inner city wall.

Even among the human aboriginal forces that have been operating for many years, the number of fortress-type cities is much smaller than that of open cities, and most of them are on the border or in places with difficult terrain.

There are also plain fortresses, but the cost of building them is even higher.

In the early morning, Luna also woke up leisurely.

She went to bed earlier yesterday, and naturally woke up earlier today.

Zong Shen's company is the best comfort and gift to her.

But the night was over, and a new day had arrived. The little dependence in her heart was replaced by a tenacious character, and she let go of Zong Shen's arm.

"Sir, go and do your work."

"It's already dawn, you don't need to accompany me."

Zong Shen stretched, nodded, and kissed the side of her face.

It was left to Luna to convey Betty's matter.

He would have to run away again in two or three hours, and while he had some time, he would have to take another look at the relocation plan.

Look for areas where gaps need to be filled.

"Okay then, I'll go take a look around the territory."

"I wonder if the [Desolate Hoof Totem] has been placed."

"That thing can recruit centaurs."

"The recruitment cooldown of [Silver Lion Banner] has also come. You can summon two teams of fourth-level Lion Guard Knights and a team of fifth-level Lion Charge Knights!"

Zong Shen clearly remembers the long-cooling buff skills and recruiting skills at hand.

Including [Magic Hall] and [Magic House] every three days.

[Warrior Heroic Soul Tower] Receive training books every other week.

[The Greedy Lord’s Money Bag] [Wealth Surprise] every other week.

As well as [Desolate Hoof Totem] and [Silver Lion Banner] recruitment skills every other week.

He has not forgotten these. At this time, he has accumulated five or six magic skill books in his hand.

There are also two weeks worth of warrior training books.

Next, the scale of the Lion Knights will also expand.

After Zong Shen briefly explained a few words, he started to put it on.

He walked quickly down the Lord's Fortress, not even bothering to wash up or have breakfast, and went directly to the open space outside the Lord's Fortress.

With a flick of his wrist, he took out the [Silver Lion War Flag (Gold)] and activated the effect of [Silver Lion Rider Different Dimension Recruitment].

The battle flag swayed in the wind, and a blazing golden light beam shot out from the surface. After hitting the space, a golden portal that was five meters high and three meters wide opened.

"Da da da…"

The crisp sound of horse hooves tapping the ground came.

Groups of cavalry wearing Lion Knight armor filed out of the space door.

The golden space door rippled in circles.

Soon, two teams totaling twenty-four [Level 4 Lion Guard Knights] and one team totaling twelve [Level 5 Lion Charge Knights] were all assembled, and the golden space door was closed.

Since then, there have been forty-eight [Level 4 Lion Guard Knights] and twenty-four [Level 5 Lion Charge Knights] in the territory.

The most important thing is that the recruitment from another dimension takes up the control value that comes with the battle flag. It simply saves worry and effort.

After recruiting these lion cavalry, Zong Shen called Vereesa.

She did not participate in the construction yesterday and went to bed after reporting the situation, so she got up earlier today.

As for the [Desolate Hoof Totem] that Zong Shen brought back, Marier placed it behind the fortress.

Zong Shen happened to complete the recruitment together, and then asked Vereesa to arrange for these recruited soldiers to return to the team.

He asked the Lion Cavalry to stand by in the open space, and he took Vereesa to the rear of the fortress.

When he came to the [Desolate Hoof Totem], he raised his hand and stroked the totem pole, and activated the [Desolate Hoof Centaur Recruitment] with a thought. He saw the totem pole shining with lavender shadow light, and also opened a space door.

After the chaotic sound of horse hooves, centaurs walked out of the space door!

The largest number is the second-level [Centaur Peons], reaching twenty-four.

Followed by seven third-level [Centaur Forerunners] and five [Centaur Assassins].

Then there are four fourth-level [Centaur Forerunners] and two [Centaur Shadow Wizards].

Finally, there are two fifth-level [Centaur Forerunners] and one [Centaur Death Summoner].
