Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Twelve o'clock at noon this time is not simple. It means that there are only 24 hours left before the official start of the defensive challenge. A new stage is coming, and a month of laying a solid foundation is about to pass.

As the first batch of lords to come, these lords are all in the prime of life on earth.

They can also be regarded as pioneers and pioneers among the Earth Lords.

In the following days, it will gradually materialize according to the progress of time.

The more vulnerable the group is, the later it will arrive.

According to the original advent rules, the second, third and even fourth batch of lords will have a certain amount of time difference compensation, similar to the "world experience" increase in some games for players who join later.

For example, if the second batch of lords can only come six months after the first batch of lords, then different gains will be given based on the average development progress of the first batch of lords when they come.

The specific gain effect is unknown. Anyway, it must have some protective properties, but the gain will not be too overwhelming. After all, the first batch of lords worked hard for six months to develop.

Providing protection to the subsequent batches of relatively weak lords can be considered fair in itself.

If they were placed in the same period, the death ratio would definitely be very skewed.

Of course, many talents in finance and scientific research-related fields in human society are older.

In terms of mastering earth academic and professional knowledge, the subsequent batches of lords will definitely be strong rather than weak.

But in terms of physical strength, reaction ability, and ability to accept novel things, they are completely different.

The latter is an important indicator that determines the survival rate in the early stages of arrival.

Secondly, the Endless Continent is really too big, and there are countless forces, large and small.

As well as the civilizational relics left by previous era changes, as well as the extraterritorial dimensions in the star realm, the demiplane dormant in the continent itself, plus many secrets, make the entire endless continent extremely exciting.

Let alone six months, even if it takes one or two years, it will be difficult for a lord to dominate the continent.

Normal development cycles are calculated in terms of five, ten, thirty, fifty, or even hundreds of years.

Even guys like Zong Shen who use plug-ins are no exception.

His current territory is barely close to a smaller aboriginal city, but it is still a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from becoming a giant city, let alone growing into a kingdom-level force.

Without a kingdom-level force, they are not even qualified to fight for hegemony on the continent.

Zong Shen had already thought about and prepared for this.

Ideological awareness is very important. While the territory is developing, if the thinking and development pattern cannot keep up, it will also limit the speed of territory development.

Especially as the "leader", he must be forward-looking and calculate the future situation.

As the white light in front of him dissipated, the "sense of emptiness and emptiness" in the time-stop state finally weakened.

Lines of reminder announcements appeared.

[The final challenge of the challenge month will start in 24 hours]

[This challenge lasts for 24 hours]

——! ! ! ! ——

[Additional details 1: When the challenge starts, a 10-minute global time-out state will be entered.

A striking 24-hour countdown will appear in the sky]

[Additional details 2: The challenge difficulty score estimation will be started after the territory enters the exclusive challenge space.

[Work hard, fight for survival, fight for the future! 】

[Only by becoming the most powerful and great lord can you understand the nature and secrets of the world]

…

The announcement this time is exceptionally long.

Details have been added for the upcoming defensive challenge.

Combined with the last announcement, we can basically see the defensive challenges.

First of all, various means of jamming bugs have been blocked.

For example, you can keep the [Treasure Box] and [Lucky Bag] until you open them after the challenge, or you can put props and items in other places or sell them in the [Market] and then retrieve them after the challenge.

These operations have lost their feasibility.

Beyond that, the offensive side of the challenge becomes very pure.

There will be no distracting thoughts other than attacking, and there will be no effective communication, persuasion or instigation of rebellion.

Each lord's challenge is conducted in an independent space without interfering with each other. It will be in a special state, which means that the 24 hours of the challenge will not affect the passage of real time, which also avoids the appearance of indigenous people in the territory during the challenge. Or the possibility of other situations.

30 days is still 30 days, not one day more or less.

At the end of the announcement, in addition to mentioning the concept of the strongest lord again, the lord system also mentioned the phrase "insight into the nature and secrets of the world". It seems that if it can successfully pass the final challenge of the challenge month.

And if you get a good settlement score among the first batch of lords who participate in the challenge, you are very likely to get some unexpected gains in information!

After pondering for a while, no matter how long it took, the time-stop effect slowly ended.

The announcement prompts in front of me also disappeared like phantoms.

As expected, the [World Channel] and [Regional Channel] were in a state of excitement again.

Not to mention other channels, after Zong Shen’s [Legion of Guides] merged with [Legion of Light Chasers], the entire [Legion Channel] became lively.

There are people on the water channel 24 hours a day. With the identity of legion comrades, the social attribute of [Legion Channel] becomes closer to every legion member.

Zong Shen exhaled a long breath.

He raised his hand and took out [Anna's Divination Coin (Special)] from the storage compartment, and took advantage of this noon time to do a [divination of bad luck]!

He flicked the coin up with his thumb, activating the divination effect.

The coins swirled in the air and fell, finally being covered in his palm.

Spreading his fingers, he saw the image of the [Masked Witch], which was the symbol of [Great Good Luck]!

With the [Good Luck] effect, he could open all the treasure chests he found yesterday from the underground fortress ruins in Azshara's sewers.

If you're lucky, you might be able to get some interesting items.

But now, he has to hold an emergency meeting to give a final explanation about the changes in the details of the defensive challenge. As for the formation of the warriors' team and tactical arrangements, they can wait until tomorrow morning.

Anyway, noon every day is the key point, and it is more than enough to have a few hours to organize and arrange before the war.

Everyone must have a good rest tonight and stay in top condition to face the challenge!

Zong Shen rode the [Bloodtooth Wild Boar King Cha Cha] and led the group of newly tamed wild boars toward the northwest of the territory.

This group of wild boars also have different injuries on their bodies. After Joan of Arc "nurses" the wounded wolf cavalry, let her go to the [Farming and Pastoral Area] to use passive healing on the pigs.

While riding the wild boar forward, Zong Shen took out the communication crystal.

He contacted the veteran heroes who were mainly responsible for fighting in the territory: Vereesa, Luna, Doris, Kobold Chief Dutra, Joan of Arc, Colby, and Favid.

We also contacted several logistics and internal affairs heroes: Mariel, Howie, San Pang, Betty and others.

Everyone is asked to go to the long table in the hall of the lord's fortress to wait for him.

After the notification, he had already brought the pigs to the northwest [agricultural and pastoral area].

At this moment, Feihu, who had advanced to a dragon-veined scorpion-tailed tiger, was lazily lying on the grass basking in the sun with his ten scorpion-tailed tiger brothers of different levels.

As raptors, they have feline-like habits.

When these scorpion-tailed tigers saw the blood-toothed wild boars passing by, they all stood up. They arched their backs and their silky hair stood on end. They stared at the blood-toothed wild boars and almost wanted to stay.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zong Shen knocked on Feihu and asked him to lock up his little brother and coexist peacefully with the pigs.

With enough to eat every day and the constraints of flying tigers, those scorpion-tailed tigers would not go beyond the rules.

After he rode a pig to an open area in the [Farming and Pastoral Area], he decided to place the pigs here first. After explaining through the contract, [Blood-tooth Wild Boar King·Cha Cha] restrained the group not to run around, He asked his companion Reese Ulysses to use [Flash] to bring him and Tasia back to the Lord's Fortress respectively.

When he came to the hall, everyone was already sitting at the long table.

Everyone stood up and saluted him with one hand on their chest.

"Sir, you are here!"

Zong Shen waved his hand and sat directly on the table without saying anything.

"Everyone, let's make a long story short."

"The defensive challenge will officially begin at noon tomorrow."

"Theoretically, the difficulty of this challenge is higher than previous challenges."

"No matter what, we must face this challenge with vigilance and prudence."

He said in a serious tone that everyone must understand the seriousness of this matter before getting down to business.

He waited until everyone present looked serious before he added.

“There’s a lot that the logistics team needs to do.”

"First of all, let's report on the current construction status of various buildings."

Zong Shen turned to look at the territorial logistics and internal affairs heroes headed by Mariel.

Sitting next to her were the three fat men, Howie, and Betty, who stood up and reported.

"Lord, the relocation and construction of all defensive buildings in the territory have been completed."

“All buildings are maintained in top condition.”

"In addition, the [Building Fusion] and [Building Advancement] you ordered have been completed."

"Using one of the territory's [Magic Palace (Purple)] + [Level 4 Elemental Mage Training Ground (Purple)] + [Magic Totem (Purple)] as the basis of the fusion building, and finally merged into a legendary special building [Superior Magic Palace] (Orange)], with architectural functions such as magic recovery, meditation training, spell skill training, spell comprehension, spell talent awakening, etc.”

"As for the [Building Advancement Stone (Orange)], after rigorous analysis and discussion, and after considering your wishes, it was finally used in the [Communication Crystal Tower (Purple)] to upgrade it to the legendary level. architecture."

"The effective range of the current crystal tower has been extended to a radius of 10,000 kilometers, and the upper limit of the number of crystals that can be applied for has been increased from 1,000 to 10,000, which can basically meet the communication requirements beyond the range under certain circumstances."

Mariel truthfully reported the construction situation in the territory.

Especially the matters of [Building Fusion] and [Building Advancement]!

Two legendary buildings were added to Zong Shen's territory at one time, and they were both auxiliary buildings, which had long-term development significance and use value.
