Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Now he can finally understand why the first place can push the territory level to lv13.

In fact, the difficulty of territory expansion tasks now is completely different from that when he expanded.

The first is the solidification of the power of the lords in the region.

The appearance of the lord forces has almost eliminated all hostile targets within a certain range.

The second is the improvement in the strength of the lords. During this period of time, the surviving lords have basically built up their territories. Through treasure chests or points exchange, almost all territories have varying numbers of defense towers.

Under such circumstances, the task of territory expansion becomes much easier.

If you're lucky, you can even lie flat all the way up.

For example, if there happens to be no or only a small number of hostile targets within the designated range of the expansion mission, territory expansion can be successfully completed without taking too many risks.

Yesterday he saw in the rankings that Chen Rui's territory level was lv12.

He was ranked below another guy who was also at level 12, only in third place.

I don’t know if he will level up today!

Seeing that the rewards were to be settled in just two days, Zong Shen was ready to go a few levels higher than the target to avoid being overtaken in the last two days.

After completing the territory's level 10 expansion mission, Zong Shen then continued to the next level.

…

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Zong Shen took out [Anna's Divination Coin (Special)]. .

There came a [bad fortune divination], but unfortunately, today he got the [Snake Wrapped Around the Rose], which is the [big bad fortune] side, and his luck will be reduced today.

"Fuck!"

"Forget it, I won't open the treasure chest today anyway."

"Even a big evil can't bring you any harm."

He curled his lips and wanted to vomit about today's luck.

Good luck doesn't always accompany you, but just treat it as an experiment.

Zong Shen has already experienced the power of [Great Good Luck], and now it is time to experience the [Great Bad Luck].

I guess it won't be bad luck, right?

He has completed the advancement of his territory, from lv8 in the morning to lv18!

The territory harvested the carcasses of hundreds of wild beasts, and also captured some of the defected Seakabang city soldiers and rogue horse bandits. It also captured 72 grassland horses and 33 mixed-breed army horses, which can be regarded as additional gains from the territory's upgrade.

The expansion mission becomes slower as it goes on, so Mr. Zong doesn’t have much patience anymore.

When I opened the rankings, I found that the rankings had basically remained unchanged. However, Chen Rui had advanced a level, reaching lv13, ranking second. Judging from this posture, he should be able to advance upwards.

Zong Shen does not plan to continue upgrading the territory today. He will check the rankings tomorrow and the morning after tomorrow. If someone overtakes around a corner, he will have a few hours to urgently upgrade the territory level.

After 12 noon, there are only 48 hours left before the defensive challenge officially begins.

The territory's defensive buildings have basically been planned, and the construction of the city wall circle should be completed tomorrow.

The current territory level is lv18, covering a radius of 18 kilometers.

Calculated, it is about a piece of land of 1017.36 square kilometers, which is not too small.

There are many other lords in this area, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Zong Shen is now the lord with the highest territorial level in the region, or even in the entire continent.

Anyway, the territory has not been expanded yet. When it gradually expands, he will personally persuade the lords within the range to leave.

As long as there is nothing wrong with your mind, you will weigh the pros and cons and stay away from here.

Just before the Legion rules were updated, everyone got a chance to move their territory.

Zong Shen's [Legion of Guides] has basically moved to a place thirty kilometers away.

This is a large-scale migration activity led by Jiang Yi before.

The purpose is to avoid conflicts with other people after Zong Shen's territory expands.

During this period, about 35% to 40% of the lords in the area were killed. Behind the extremely high death rate was the vacant land, which could be regarded as freeing up some space for Zong Shen's expansion and the migration of other lords.

Currently, Jiang Yi is the only legion member who has not yet relocated.

Her territory is within Zong Shen's territory, and the straight-line distance is less than ten kilometers.

As the deputy commander of the army, she felt that it was necessary for her to get closer to Zong Shen.

After completing the territory upgrade, the Lord's Fortress was also vacant.

Zong Shen asked Reese Ulysses to use flash to take him to the open space outside the fortress.

The carcasses of hundreds of beasts and monsters were dragged to agricultural areas for preliminary processing.

Peel off the fur, leaving usable flesh and blood and a few internal organs.

The meat is then cut into pieces and marinated or dried.

The more delicious animal meat is washed away from the blood and kept in large chunks and placed in the ice cellar.

The territory's refrigerator, that is, the [Frost Raven] has long since completely surrendered.

Now there is no need to tie up chains or fly away to escape the territory.

Its daily task is very simple, which is to breathe cold air into a total of three ice cellars in the territory.

After finishing its work, it doesn't need to do anything else and is provided with good food and drink every day.

This guy has a big appetite. The most important thing is that he is not a vegetarian. He eats at least 40 to 50 pounds of fresh meat every day.

It only needs to be taken care of once. Compared with its function, this small amount of food consumption is nothing.

After all, the appetites of gryphons and manticores are not low.

Fortunately, Zong Shen raised some of them freely, otherwise he would have been starved.

Zong Shen and Reese Ulysses stood outside the Lord's Fortress.

He took out the [Eighth Level City Lord's Mansion Upgrade Certificate].

After choosing to use it, the Lord's Fortress will be covered in a layer of white light.

The surrounding land automatically extended, causing the four city walls and part of the terrain to change.

It takes some effort to rebuild and fill it up.

As long as the territory's construction resources are sufficient, it's not a big problem.

The land for the City Lord's Mansion upgrade simply appeared out of thin air.

All the lords put together can add a lot of land to the mainland just by upgrading the city lord's mansion.

"etc…"

"The current Endless Continent is so vast, couldn't it have been created by the lords from previous dimensions?"

Looking at the changes in the land under his feet, Zong Shen thought of a possibility!

The expansion of the City Lord's Mansion took four to five minutes, and Zong Shen waited patiently.

As time goes by, the white light slowly dissipates.

The larger eighth-level city lord's mansion was revealed!

The towers on all sides have become 80 meters long, bringing the area of ​​the Lord's Fortress to 6,400 square meters.

This area includes the courtyard of the tower and the fortress itself!

The height of the tower increased to about eight meters, nearly three stories high, and its width reached three and a half meters, which is almost the same as the width of a double carriage.

The iron gate of the tower turned into a larger steel gate.

The width of the entrances on all four sides is also more than five meters.

There is also a winch behind the steel gate, and the pulley needs to be turned to pull it up.

During normal times, these steel gates are open. Once wartime comes, the steel gates can be lowered by quickly cutting the winch rope.

There is a solid stone foundation underneath the tower, no longer bare earth.

The two sides are recessed by twenty or thirty centimeters respectively, allowing the gate to be completely locked.

The thickness of the steel gate itself reaches forty to fifty centimeters, which is a steel ingot nearly half a meter thick.

Complex runes were drawn on both the inside and outside, which obviously should have certain magical effects.

After Zong Shen approached, he raised his hand and gently touched the solid city tower and steel gate, and the detailed attributes of the two emerged in front of his eyes.

Valley is suppressed

[Eight-level fortress tower]

[Sturdiness value: 12700+1500]

[Building Armor: 100]

[Building magic resistance: 100]

[Defense effect: Intermediate damage is evenly distributed (50% of the damage effect of the struck part of the tower is evenly distributed to the four towers)

Intermediate magic reduction (reducing 15% of the magic damage suffered by the tower)]

…

[Eight-level fortress gate]

[Sturdiness value: 7500+1500]

[Building Armor: 125]

[Magic Resistance: 125]

[Defense effect: Intermediate level solidity (when the city gate's deformation degree exceeds 50%, the double resistance will be increased by 25 points for 30 minutes. This effect can only be started once in 24 hours)

Emergency repair (restores 30% of the solid value within ten seconds, this effect can only be triggered once within 72 hours)]

…

As expected, the sturdiness and double resistance of both the city tower and the steel gate have been greatly improved.

Even the defensive skills have been upgraded and become more durable.

Despite the fact that the steel gate's sturdiness value has not exceeded 10,000, the area of ​​the steel gate is actually relatively small, while the tower is eighty meters long and eight meters high.

After paired with defensive skills, it is still quite durable!

Zong Shen walked through the fortress gate and walked into the courtyard.

The number of floors of the lord's fortress has been increased to eight. Counting the foundation three meters above the ground, the height of the fortress has reached more than twenty meters. There are also towers around it, which are the sentries that Zong Shen went up when upgrading the territory. tower.

These towers are also much taller, and with the height of the fortress, they can reach fifty or sixty meters.

The commanding heights of the territory!

Zong Shen walked up the steps, looked at the fortress, and then at the giant steel gate of the fortress.

The solidity value here is even more exaggerated than that of the towers and gates.

The body of the fortress gradually changed from the original blue-gray to dark gray.

The density of the boulders is increasing, and their appearance is becoming more and more like metal.

【Eighth Level Lord's Fortress】

[Sturdiness value: 80000+1500]

[Building Armor: 160]

[Building magic resistance: 155]

[Defense effect: Intermediate seal (intermediate seal can be activated when necessary to completely seal the entire fortress and isolate poisonous gas and smoke to a certain extent. The maximum duration is 6 hours. Maintaining the intermediate seal state will run the risk of depleting oxygen. )

Intermediate persistence (activate the persistence state, increase the solidity value by 20,000 points and the double resistance by 40 points, last for 2 hours, this skill can only be used once every 48 hours)]

…

[Eighth-level city main fortress reinforced steel gate]

[Sturdiness value: 24000+1500]

[Building Armor: 175]

[Building magic resistance: 165]

[Defense effect: Intermediate spike mechanism (the gate extends sharp metal spikes, causing 25% damage to melee attacks, lasting 30 minutes, cooling time 10 hours)

Intermediate arcane counterattack (every time the gate is attacked, it will release an arcane magic bullet at the attacker, causing 150 points of magic damage to the target, lasting 30 minutes, and the cooling time is 12 hours)]

…

"Wonderful!"

"It's such a hard fortress, even if I cut it by myself, it would take me a long time."

"Not to mention that the fortress itself is blessed with various defensive effects!"

Zong Shen is quite satisfied with the eighth-level lord fortress. The defensive challenge is about to come. The stronger his "base" must be, the better!

After completing the upgrade of the Lord's Fortress, Zong Shen and Reese Ulysses took him to the living area and found Favid who was with Doris.

Give the [Fire Cloak (Purple)] obtained previously to Favid.

The boy felt a little guilty when he saw him, but Zong Shen gave him an intriguing smile. As for Doris, she still looked informal. She was not very interested in Farvid, at least not now.

Immediately afterwards, Zong Shen found Vereesa again.

She was taking Zoe Babbitt for a walk outside the living area.

The battle to expand the territory just now was also seen by Zoe, which gave him a better understanding of Zong Shen's territory.

Zong Shen and Reese Ulysses flashed to a position five or six meters behind the two women.

"Vereesa."

He took out two things from the storage compartment before shouting softly.

The two women turned back at the same time, with some confusion on their faces.

Vereesa turned back a few steps and bowed to Zong Shen.

"grown ups?"

Zong Shen nodded and handed the [Strong Heart Ring (blue)] and [Combined Soft Braided Belt (Purple)] into her hands.

"It's for you, take it first."

Vereesa glanced at the equipment in her hand, her expression looking a little complicated.

Finally, he nodded and accepted it.

Then, Zong Shen looked at Zoe and said with a smile.

"How are Miss Zoe's thoughts?"

"Would you like to join the Breath of the Wild adventurer team?"

Zong Shen gave her nearly a day to think about it, and now it was time for an answer.

Hearing his words, Zoe solemnly took a step forward, put one hand on her chest and saluted.

"Zoe Babbitt would like to join your service."

"Also become part of your party of adventurers!"

While she was speaking, a prompt appeared in front of Zong Shen.

[The heroic talent Zoe Babbitt expresses her surrender to you]

【Accept】【Reject】

Hero-level talents who actively surrender will receive corresponding prompts.

The same was true for Howie back then.

Zong Shen chose [Accept], and a new prompt appeared.

[Zoe Babbitt joins the territory]

[Get 1500 reputation points]

It seems that being the daughter of Marquis Zoe still has a certain bonus, allowing Zong Shen to gain additional reputation points!

"Great, Zoe!"

"The pace of the territory will be your pace!"

Zong Shen nodded and praised.

"Vereesa, Zoe, you go mobilize a squadron of wolf cavalry, ask Favid to call Kaginia, and draw out sixty third-level mages, and then summon four squads of Lion Guard Knights. come over."

"Also, apply for anti-venom potion from Mariel!"

"After the assembly is completed, go to the open space in front of the Lord's Fortress and wait for me."

“There’s an exploration activity this afternoon!”

Zong Shen said with a very serious expression.
