Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

The same kind of centaur warriors have different levels.

This is quite normal, after all, the Wild Hoof tribe is just one branch of the Centaur clan.

Moreover, centaurs, tauren, and goblins do not have a diverse unit system like human kingdom forces or alien forces, so there will be situations where the units have the same level but different levels.

Looking at the recruiting skills of [Wild Hoof Totem], we can see that except for the second-level [Centaur Laborer], which is fixed, the third, fourth, and fifth levels are all random types of centaur warriors.

A total of 45 different centaur warriors walked out of the space door.

They all looked at Zong Shen and Vereesa with doubtful eyes.

If it weren't for the restraint of [Desolate Hoof Totem], I'm afraid he would have walked away immediately.

Even so, the initial loyalty of these centaurs is not high.

As far as a mere 65 points are concerned, the control value included in the totem is included.

These centaurs have violent personalities and have never had a good impression of humans. They are extremely aggressive creatures. It is not known what the son of the God of the Wilderness had sex with to create a species like centaurs.

However, these centaurs are strong, come with their own mounts, and can run very fast.

It also has a decent carrying capacity, making it suitable for mining in mines.

As long as they are equipped with backpacks and iron picks, they can start mining. .

Those [Centaur Laborers] can concentrate on mining.

Other centaur warriors can both mine and defend mines.

After all, the combat effectiveness of these centaur warriors is pretty good.

Zong Shen nodded to himself, and then issued an order to the lower centaur as the holder of the [Desolate Hoof Totem].

"You follow Vereesa and follow her arrangements."

As soon as he finished speaking, these centaurs stared with big eyes and impatient expressions on their faces.

Zong Shen patted his head and almost forgot that these guys couldn't understand the common language of the mainland. They only knew the low-level common language of the last era.

At this time, Vereesa behind him glanced at Zong Shen and took a few steps forward.

"Jiligulu..."

He spoke a few words in low common language.

The initial loyalty of these Wildhoof centaurs is not high, but they still have 65 points.

Being within the loyalty line, they turned their attention back to Zong Shen.

Zong Shen used the strategy module to translate Vereesa's words, which were roughly the same as what he said.

Seeing the Barren Hoof Centaur in front of him cast a searching look, he couldn't help but nodded.

These centaurs can still understand the meaning of nodding.

So they left with Vereesa and the newly recruited lion knights.

Zong Shen watched them leave. The formation of the lion knights was much more orderly than that of the centaurs.

From this aspect, we can see the disciplinary advantages and disadvantages of the two.

This is why, although the centaurs are clearly strong individually, they find it difficult to effectively exert their team combat effectiveness in large-scale frontal battles.

After completing the recruitment of totems and battle flags, Zong Shen's to-do list was reduced by one more item.

At the same time, the combat power in the territory has also increased a bit.

In particular, the Lion Cavalry gradually formed an organization.

Over time, the advantages of this type of draft item will become apparent.

As long as he accumulates it for a year and a half, he will have a lion cavalry unit and a centaur unit under his command.

Of course, Zong Shen still prefers to train centaurs who are difficult to control and have poor discipline into armed miners.

Next, Zongze took out the [Heavy Bearer Mecha] to use it instead.

Driving towards the southwest of the territory, he planned to find Alanna, leave some fabrics at the [Tailor Shop], and ask her to make some clothes for Kaji and Olga.

As for the remaining purchased supplies, he planned to pile them in the open space outside the Lord's Fortress, and leave them to Mariel to handle and organize after she woke up.

When he came to the [Tailor Shop], it was already busy.

Eight tailor apprentices and Alana sat on the workbench, cutting cloth and leather, and using red-hot iron needles to drill small flat holes in the leather.

During this period of time, the animal skins and leather accumulated in the territory were sent to the [Tailor Shop], allowing Alanna to take the tailor apprentice to practice and make pieces of leather armor and clothing to keep out the cold.

You can keep it if you don’t need it. Anyway, tailor apprentices also need to improve their tailoring skills through continuous practice, including Alanna herself.

Her level is only one step away from a senior professional title, and she can achieve a breakthrough after a lot of practice.

When Zong Shen walked into the [tailor shop], the tailor apprentices who were focused on working with leather fabrics didn't pay attention.

Alanna grabbed a cutting knife and cut a piece of brown tough leather with great concentration, which seemed to be a bit difficult.

The leather materials in Zongshen's territory come from complex sources.

Some were obtained from battles, and some were brought back from various places.

The quality of each grade is also different. Generally speaking, high-grade leather and fabrics will be processed by Alanna herself.

Only low-level materials will be given to tailor apprentices for practice.

Zong Shen is silent. People who are focused often have unique charm.

In particular, these tailors were working hard for the territory, which made him very satisfied.

Alanna still has that ugly face, but now she no longer wears a veil and can get along with other people in the territory openly.

Speaking of which, she has been a member of the territory for some time, and she is also an elder in terms of seniority.

The heroes in the territory and most of the people who joined earlier knew her and got along quite happily with her.

In addition to being busy in the tailor shop, she occasionally goes for a walk in the farming and pastoral area.

Sometimes he would take other tailor apprentices with him to bathe in the small stream in the northwest of the territory.

The small stream remains a few kilometers northwest of the Lord's Fort.

Now it has long been covered by the territory. Before the defense matrix was moved, the stream was also within the range of the defense tower.

Occasionally, if she happened to see a flower in bloom when she was passing by the grass, she would pick one and put it out of the way next to the workbench.

According to Mariel, Vereesa, and Luna, Alanna is a gentle, dignified, and quiet girl.

They also chatted together, but Alana never revealed her past.

In fact, Zong Shen had known for a long time that Alanna's identity was not simple, but he had always followed the attitude of letting nature take its course and did not remove her disguise.

It's almost time.

After thinking for a moment, he coughed lightly when he saw that the tailors were still working attentively.

"Ahem..."

All the tailors turned around immediately.

Alana also put down the cutting knife in her hand and stood up to salute.

"grown ups."

Zong Shen nodded to everyone.

All tailor apprentices are selected by Alanna personally, and they are all young girls.

Tailoring is a job that requires dexterity and patience.

In this aspect, women are better than men.

Tailoring is not like blacksmithing, it is a rough job. The more delicate a tailor is, the faster he will progress.

"Everyone, go ahead. Alana, please come out with me."

He waved to the other tailors, but asked Alanna to follow him out.

Hearing this, all the tailors glanced at Alanna before continuing to work, because she is the teacher of all tailor apprentices.

Alana herself did not have any extreme reaction. She put down the knife and followed Zong Shen to the outside of the [tailor shop].

"Sir, do you have any orders for me?"

Alana said neither humble nor haughty.

Not far from the [Tailor Shop] is the [Blacksmith Shop] and various workshops.

This is a territorially planned industrial area.

Most workshops are still idle at this time.

On the day before the defense challenge, the [Blacksmith Shop], [Tailor Shop], and [Mechanical Workshop] will also be moved to the vicinity of the Lord's Fortress.

When necessary, they can repair equipment for soldiers.

So there aren't many people in this area.

Zong Shen stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at Alanna deeply.

"How long do you want to hide your identity?"

As soon as these words came out, Alanna, who had always been very calm, showed a panicked look.

Her lips trembled slightly as if she wanted to explain something.

Without her having to speak, Zong Shen waved his hand.

"You've been in the territory for a while too."

"I should have heard the soldiers say that I always predict things like a god."

"I can't hide your background from me at all. Now that you have officially become my subject, why aren't you willing to be honest with me?"

Zong Shenxiao spoke with emotion and reason.

In fact, Alanna's identity is very special. He had asked about it through the strategy module before.

But the strategy module rarely gave up and let him decipher it by himself.

Any information that can make the strategy module hesitate is the kind of thing that involves a lot of depth.

Alanna frowned, looked up at Zong Shen, and then at the [tailor shop] behind her.

There was a look of struggle on his face.

Zong Shen didn't push her and waited quietly for her reply.

The breeze blew by, lifting the tips of Alanna's hair, covering her eyebrows.

It took more than ten minutes for her to make up her mind.

"My lord, my real name is Jenny Pendragon."

"I am the fifth princess of the Kingdom of Avalon!"

"The current king is my father!"

After making up her mind, her tone became firmer.

At the same time, lines of prompts appeared in front of Zong Shen.

[Jenny Pendragon (Alanna) gives up her disguise and her status as a subject is automatically lifted]

[100 loyalty points, converted into 90 favorability points]

[Your friendship with Jenny Pendragon, the fifth princess of the Kingdom of Avalon, has reached 90 points (deep friendship)]

[Trigger the Kingdom Mobile mission, please communicate with Jenny Pendragon for further details]

Zong Shen:......

Unexpectedly, after the showdown, Alanna's status as a subject was automatically lifted!

Tailor Alanna's 100 points of loyalty turned into 90 points of favorability with the fifth princess, Jenny Pendragon.

The princess is indeed not so easy to control.

Zong Shen had used a special prop during the points lottery before, called [Powerful Camouflage Clearing Water (Blue)]. Although this thing is only a third-level item, it can clear all disguises below the fifth level. Effect.

Originally, he was planning to use [Powerful Disguise Clearing Water (Blue)] to clear Alanna's disguise.

But now that Alanna revealed her identity, Zong Shen felt that this water purifier was not qualified.

Her disguise is so sophisticated that it can even interfere with the judgment of the lord system to a certain extent!

This is the first time Zong Shen has seen something that can interfere with the lord's system.

So when she disguises herself, she defaults to Alanna, a subject recognized by the lord system.

After taking off the disguise, she is the fifth princess of Avalon, the most beloved little princess Jenny of King Guthera.

Zong Shen had previously known that internal conflicts broke out in the Avalon royal family.

The old king Guser failed in his baptism and was poisoned by the blood of the red dragon, and his life span was short.

Several princes and the three princesses fought openly and secretly and began to carve up Avalon's territory.

Win over the leaders of giant cities from all over the world.

Avalon's situation is different from Nord's.

The former belongs to the family. No matter which prince or princess they are, they are all members of the Pendragon family. Therefore, there are also problems within the Pendragon family. They support different princes or princesses.

In the Kingdom of Nord, the Trivasin family has no blood relationship with the Lodbrok family.

The Trivasin family wanted to establish themselves as kings, but the Lodbrok family was the first to refuse!

This has resulted in the internal turmoil in the Kingdom of Avalon being far more dangerous than that in the Kingdom of Nord.

Once a hidden danger breaks out, it will be a torn apart situation.

In the Kingdom of Nord, the power of the Lodbrok family is still greater than that of the Trivasin family.

Zong Shen once boldly thought about Alanna's identity, but he never thought that she was Jenny!

Until Alanna's identity is revealed, anything is possible.

But he never imagined that the majestic fifth princess, the apple of King Guser's eye, would turn into an ugly slave girl.

If Zong Shen hadn't happened to meet the slave merchant Bamogo, the fifth princess would have been homeless long ago, and she didn't know where she would be sold.

The strategy module has never been involved in this matter, it is a true coincidence!

It gave him an unreal feeling of finding a needle in a haystack despite the odds being slim.

Combining the information he knew and his experience of meeting Jenny, that is, Alanna, he could conclude that there was definitely a big conspiracy behind Jenny Pendragon's sudden disappearance.

Jenny herself couldn't have done this for no reason.

The slave merchant Bamogo is not that easy to talk to. If he is unlucky, he may die at any time.

Additionally, Princess Jeanne Pendragon has been hiding her identity even after joining her domain as Alanna.

It's obvious she's scared!

She was worried that something extremely bad would happen if her identity was revealed.

It was this incident that made her prefer to disguise herself as an ugly slave girl rather than reveal her true identity.

She even didn't trust Zong Shen.

In other words, she is distrustful of everyone.

If Zong Shen hadn't deceived her, and she knew the information about the Chosen Son after joining the territory as a subject of Alanna, I'm afraid she would never admit her identity.

And she already knew that Zong Shen was the chosen one.

In the ancient legend of Avalon, the great King Arthur once left a secret message.

When the Chosen One appears, the era will usher in a change.

So she understood that Zong Shen had no direct relationship with the Kingdom of Avalon itself.

"Don't worry, you're safe here."

"No one will reveal your identity."

After she finished speaking, Zong Shen thought seriously for a while before raising his head and answering.

Alanna, no, she should be called Princess Jenny now. When Zong Shen said this, the panic look on her face faded a little.

At this time, Zong Shen continued.

"Your Highness, please follow me to the Lord's Fortress."

"No matter what hardships you encounter, I am willing to protect you."

Princess Jenny has not returned to her original appearance, she still remains an ugly girl.

Then there are three possibilities.

The first is that her disguise is extremely clever and has a one-time effect.

The second one is that Princess Jenny still hasn’t let down her guard.

The third type is more fantastic, that is body swapping.

In other words, Princess Jenny has indeed become "Alanna" on a physical level.

Which one it is specifically needs to be confessed by Princess Jenny herself.

Since she is a special character, the strategy module cannot give accurate information.

Just like King Ragnar he rescued yesterday, there is mystery everywhere.

Special people can often influence the change of eras and the development trend of the mainland's indigenous people.

Hearing what Zong Shen said, Princess Jenny nodded.

People are more likely to feel a sense of security in a relatively closed environment.

Zong Shen took out the [Heavy Bearer Mecha] with his backhand and politely invited Princess Jenny to sit in the driver's seat.

Because the driving seat was for two people, and he couldn't let Princess Jenny sit in the cargo hold.

Although he himself is not interested in the status of a princess, the necessary etiquette and gentlemanly attitude are also very important.

Princess Jenny was not pretentious and sat obediently in the driver's seat.

Then, Zong Shen also sat on it and activated the [Heavy Bearer Mecha] smoothly and headed towards the Lord's Fortress.

Five or six minutes later, the [Heavy Bearer Mecha] stopped in the open space outside the Lord's Fortress.

Zong Shen put it away, then took out [Pascal Contract's Big Bag (Gold)] and piled all the supplies purchased from the Golden Pocket Watch Merchant Group on the open space.

Grain belongs to grain, ironware belongs to ironware, and cloth belongs to cloth.

The more neatly they are sorted now, the easier it will be for Mariel to organize them later.

After doing this, Zong Shencai bowed slightly to Princess Jenny and invited her to enter the lord's fortress.

It was after 8 o'clock in the morning. Luna had already gotten up, but Mariel hadn't yet.

Affected by the construction of the territory, she rested late yesterday, so she naturally slept more today.

"My lord, Alanna, why are you here?"

Luna, who was cleaning up in the kitchen, asked curiously.

"Luna, let me formally introduce you."

"Alanna's true identity is actually the fifth princess of the Kingdom of Avalon, Her Highness Jenny Pendragon!"

After learning the news, Luna also had a look of surprise on her face.

"Your Highness...Princess?"

Princess Jenny knew Luna's identity, so she wasn't surprised and nodded calmly.
