Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Kaginia's character is more out-of-the-box, far less stable and meticulous than Colby.

Zong Shen still remembers Kaginia jumping up and down as soon as she was summoned.

It was even more so now that she had received the reward. After receiving the wand, Kaginia knelt down on one knee and nodded slightly, then raised her head with a smile on her face.

"The wind will praise the great lord."

"You are the supreme chosen one and the absolute protagonist of the new era."

"Under your leadership, we will be able to climb to the top and enjoy unparalleled glory."

Kaginia's eloquence is excellent, and when she flatters her, it's like an old sow wearing a bra, one after another.

"Enough is enough, stop bragging...

Zong Shen didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm at first, and planned to wait for him to finish speaking before saying a few words of comfort as usual, but he didn't expect that this kid had no intention of stopping at all.

Hearing what the lord said, Kaginia stood up with a smile.

"Sir, please take some time someday and let me draw a portrait for you."

"It won't take long, just two or three hours.'

Kaginia and Colby retreated to their original positions, and suddenly bowed again and spoke seriously.

Zong Shen thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

"Then the defensive challenge is over."

To be honest, Kaginia's painting skills are pretty good. I don't know if it's a hobby that he mastered in the last era, or if he's just gifted and able to pick it up quickly.

In short, within a few days of buying the drawing board, he had already created a lot of works, and every one of them was pretty good.

Basically, they are all in a realistic style, depicting the scenery of the territory.

These practice works have been collected by him. They will also be precious memories when the territory develops in the future, because they record the status of the territory.

Even Mariel and the two leaders asked Kaginia for help and drew a map of the current defense zone of the territory.

So Zong Shen didn't refuse his request to paint his portrait. He just had more time after the defensive challenge, and it was also a new node after the defensive challenge, which was perfect for leaving some souvenirs.

Seeing that Zong Shen agreed, a heartfelt smile appeared on Kaginia's face.

As a "painter" who was delayed by his status as a "Wind Spirit God's Favorite", Kaginia hoped that Zong Shen would recognize his painting skills instead of just remembering his spell-casting ability.

After taking care of Kaginia and Colby, Zong Shen raised his chin and nodded at Vereesa.

"Vereesa, come to me.'

Mrs. Wen glanced at Luna, walked forward calmly, put one hand on her chest and saluted Zong Shen.

"grown ups.'

She still acted so calm, like the calm sea.

Zong Shen didn't say much. He had long been accustomed to Wen's wife's indifference.

He snapped his fingers with his right hand, took out the [Charged Natural Battle Bow (Orange)] from the storage compartment, turned his arm and held the battle bow flat and handed it to Vereesa.

"This war bow is given to you as a reward.'

Vereesa took the war bow and nodded her thanks. She was about to take off the [Hiphawk War Bow (Purple)] behind her and hand it back to Zong Shen, but Zong Shen refused.

"A good ranger should have more than one bow."

"Just keep that [Horned Eagle War Bow (Purple)] as a spare."

"When necessary, the horned eagle can be summoned to obtain a certain degree of flight maneuverability."

Zong Shen put his hands behind his back and said calmly.

"Thank you, sir, for the reward."

Vereesa saluted again and was about to return to her original position when Zong Shen stopped her again.

"Wait a minute, I have another piece of equipment for you."

Zong Shen said as she took out the [Wind Controlling Light Armor (Purple)]. This light armor is suitable for ranger equipment, and it matches the [Wind Controlling Leg Armor (Purple)] she already has.

Vereesa turned back to take the leg armor, bowed and returned to her original position with two new pieces of equipment.

The only one who did not receive a reward was Favid, and this boy was already envious of Jill.

In fact, Zong Shen really didn't plan to reward him with anything because he didn't have any fire-related equipment or items.

And not long ago, Favid was replaced by Zong Shen [The Indomitable Emblem of the Dragonborn Knights (Purple)] and the [Fire Cloak (Purple)] found in the last batch of treasure chests.

However, he couldn't help laughing when he saw that this kid was so aggrieved and had to look like "I'm very happy". After thinking for a while, he decided to reward him with something.

After all, Farvid is also a heroic talent and has his own portable storage compartment.

After thinking about it for a while, he raised his hand and took out a pair of wings made entirely of mithril.

It is the master craftsman card in human beings, Dophis, Sorkin’s training work when he was young: [Wings of Convergence (Purple)]

This thing is not only an auxiliary magical item, but also an item with hidden information.

Zong Shen can now move quickly through [Wandering Step], so he has no need for this thing at all, so he can simply leave it to Favid first.

Anyway, as an auxiliary magical item, its daily durability loss is very low, as long as it is not broken.

"Take Favid, this is the [Wings of Convergence (Purple)], which allows you to master the ability to fly.'

After Zong Shen gave a brief introduction, he handed the [Wings of Convergence (Purple)] in his hand to Favid.

This gave Favid a taste of ups and downs in mood.

After all the rewards were given, Zong Shen once again served as an "instruction manual".

He told everyone the characteristics and related notes of these equipment items.

After all, no one could see his detailed equipment attribute information, so they could only rely on past experience to figure it out. After he finished explaining, the sky turned dark.

The Dark Night Prayer, Sophie stood aside. She had not yet joined the territory. She watched the scene in front of her from the perspective of an ancient aborigine. She could not understand the feeling of being a territory citizen.

But no matter what, Zong Shen's willingness to reward these precious high-level equipment is enough to prove that he is a qualified lord.

After dark, several canteens in the territory began to get busy.

The cooking team prepares large pots of rice to meet the dining needs of tens of thousands of residents.

Soldiers and farmers have two different sets of meal standards. Relatively speaking, the food of soldiers is better.

This is also appropriate, after all, the soldiers are responsible for fighting and the farmers are just working.

Both in terms of the degree of danger and the amount of physical energy consumed, they are all different.

Even if there is no all-out war in the territory, meals will be provided according to this standard.

As the saying goes, it takes raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while. Zong Shen was never stingy about this.

In fact, the food of the farmers is not bad, at least much better than that of the villagers in the aboriginal villages.

The territory provides standardized supplies and uniform cooking, and the catering team responsible for preparing meals are the first batch of cooking talents who learned by themselves from [library] and books, and they cook better than ordinary aborigines.

After everyone dispersed one after another, Zong Shen left Faweide alone.

He reported the number of spellcasters currently in the territory and their specific arrangements.

Currently, the mage part of the territory is temporarily under the control of Favid and Doris.

They will be further subdivided after Aysia and Tasia have also advanced to become hero-level talents.

Zong Shen and Favid were sitting a dozen meters away from the bonfire, drinking wine and eating military rations of dried meat.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Zong Shen understood the situation of the spell casters in the territory.

"Tomorrow's battle plan is like this, it will still be divided according to the spell casting department.'

"Let Doris take direct charge of the fire mage group.'

"By the way, there should be new spellcasters joining the team tomorrow morning, so you can just make arrangements according to the established plan.

Zong Shen drank the last sip of wine from the horn cup and stood up after giving some instructions.

Farvid nodded and quickly stood up.

"I understand, my lord.'

At this time, Zong Shen looked around and suddenly changed the topic.

"By the way, where is that Isido?'

"Isidor?"

Farvid repeated, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"He should be in the ninth double-storey stone house in the second row of the third living area.'

"His hands have recovered somewhat now, but the bones in his legs are still missing and he can't move.'

"A few days ago, the blacksmith shop made a batch of crutches, wheelchairs, and prosthetics made of wood and some metals, and distributed them to disabled warriors, including Isidore."

Favid reported everything he knew to Zong Shen.

Zong Shen has rarely paid attention to this information recently, and he can't care enough about it.

"Oh I see."

"Then you come with me.'

Zong Shen raised his hand and grabbed Favid's shoulder, closed his eyes and sensed space. He soon found the position Favid mentioned in the sensory world composed of points, lines and surfaces, and then activated [Wandering Walk] , and the next moment he appeared in the double-story stone house.

Isidore was standing by the window on the second floor of the stone house with the support of the soldiers who lived with him, leaning on his crutches, looking at the silver moon in the horizon. His expression was numb, and only his eyes still had some profound look.

The soldiers who lived together carried forward the spirit of friendship and took good care of him.

Unlike that kind of brutal military camp, Zong Shen's territory has more of a home-like feeling.

Moreover, most of the warriors came from the recruitment rolls and had cruel memories of their previous lives, so they cherished their lives in this life very much, so there was an atmosphere of mutual help.

Isido is still not an official citizen of the territory, and Zong Shen has no interest in recruiting him.

Because he was Evans's butler before, and he was also the biggest accomplice after Evans was corrupted into the Shadow Fallen Demon.

There are countless innocent girls in Bosbon's jurisdiction who have indirectly fallen into his hands, and how many families have been torn apart.

From this perspective, Isido should have died long ago.

The reason Zong Shen didn't kill him was just because of the rare space talent in his body.

With the light blue light shining, Zong Shen appeared behind Isidor with Favid.

The soldier standing next to him quickly turned around and saluted.

Zong Shen waved his hand gently, and the two warriors left the second floor consciously.

Isido held his crutches and was indifferent to Zong Shen's appearance.

'Isidor.'

He called out, but Isido still didn't respond.

At this time, Zong Shen looked at Favid beside him. The latter immediately understood and quickly walked over, helping Isido to turn around forcefully.

"You're still here."

"Go ahead, I won't resist, and I don't have the ability to resist you."

“My life is full of sins, but as long as I am worthy of Lord Evans, it is enough.

He said expressionlessly, as if he were walking like a corpse.

"What a die-hard loyalist!"

Zong Shen frowned and gave him an evaluation in his heart.

To be honest, Isidore's loyalty to Evans is extremely strong, even as good as the 100-point loyalty of the lords and subjects. You must know that they are all aborigines and have no shackles of loyalty, so this loyalty is terrible. , and also made Zong Shen a little envious.

It's a pity that the two sides are always on opposite sides, and a die-hard loyalist like Isido will never give up his loyalty easily. Even life is not as important as loyalty.

"Have you thought about it?'

"I will extract your talents, but I will not kill you."

Zong Shen emphasized again with his hands behind his back.

"Give it to you, give it all to you, if you really represent justice..."

"I hope my talent can shine through in you."

Isido suddenly smiled, but the dead look on his face still remained.

Zong Shen heard the sarcasm in his words.

Justice is a very mysterious word and definition. Different people, different camps, different views, and different positions have completely different definitions of "justice."

But at least he wouldn't attack harmless girls or the weak like that.

His enemies have always been monsters and warriors who are equally capable of fighting.

From this perspective, he is a hundred times more upright than Evans.

As for conquest and killing, it can never be defined as "justice"

But if you want to gain more peace in this world, conquest and killing are indispensable. After all, killing to stop killing is the most effective way.

In this regard, Zong Shen had his own principles. He raised the corners of his mouth and retorted mercilessly.

"It doesn't matter whether I am righteous or not, I kill people, and I have killed many people

"If those bandits and horse bandits can be considered human beings..."

"At least I won't attack innocent girls or ordinary people."

Isidor did not speak. In fact, he did not agree with Corrupt Evans's ruthless destruction and abuse of those girls. It was only out of unconditional loyalty and gratitude that he always supported Evans.

"Okay, I want your talent."

"Since you are bent on survival, I will not keep you."

When Zong Shen said this, the farmer from the cooking team came to deliver food.

So he went on to add.

"You don't have to eat the same food as everyone else."

"Eat this.

Zong Shen took out [Barbeque Dinner (Blue)], put the barbecue on the plate on the wooden table beside him, took out a set of tableware and a horn cup, filled it with excellent wine and put it on the table. Next to it.

This Lord System food package has a three-day best consumption period.

As long as it does not exceed three days, it will be steaming hot after taking it out, as if it had just come out of the pot.
