Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Chapter 778: Challenge begins, global comprehensive score

After Zong Shen confirmed that the props were complete, he also opened the [Legion Channel] to encourage everyone.

For the last twenty minutes or so, Luna cuddled up to him.

The two stood on the high tower of the fortress and faced the breeze.

They were speechless, and there was no need to say more.

Silence is the best tenderness at this moment.

In other directions, there are the wild boar group headed by [Bloodfang Wild Boar King·Cha Cha], the griffin group headed by [Dragon Veined Gryphon·Yingjiang], and the scorpion tailed tiger headed by [Dragon Veined Scorpion Tail Tiger·Flying Tiger]. Everyone is ready.

The soldiers brought supplies, and the horses were fed with fodder mixed with eggs.

The defenses with [Goblin Mines] and [Caltrops] were deployed along with the soldiers stationed in [Armor Shooting Points] and [Reinforced Trench], forming a unique landscape.

Defense towers that can be controlled by humans such as [Giant Crossbow Tower] and [Magic Cannon Tower] have dedicated personnel in charge.

[Thunderland Wonders (Incomplete)] has been fully charged and has entered the standby state.

Mariel, Vereesa, and Howie each entered the [Commander's Tower (orange)]. They will be responsible for controlling the territory's defense tower volleys and the arrangement of warriors.

The eight [Red Gold Barrier Pillars (gold)] that have not been used for a long time have also been moved to the appropriate position. When fully charged, the eight pillars light up at the same time and open up a faint egg-shaped shield. The territorial defense area after the war was completely covered!

The wolf cavalry were on standby in four directions distributed in small groups.

Zong Shen could vaguely hear the shouts and orders of the heroes while standing on the high tower of the fortress.

In this way, twelve o'clock at noon soon arrived, and a state of pause enveloped the entire area.

White light appeared in Zong Shen's mind, and then gradually dissipated.

Once again, announcement subtitles about defensive challenges appeared before my eyes.

[The challenge month is about to end]

[Month-End Challenge: Life and Death Attack and Defense]

[The defense challenge will last for 24 hours]

[After the end of this announcement, the entire territory will be moved to the exclusive challenge area]

[Endless Continent will be in a global time-stop state, and the 24 hours of this challenge will not affect the timeline]

[Life and Death Attack and Defense: 5 to 10 minutes after the start of the challenge, the comprehensive strength of the territory will be evaluated, and the comprehensive rating list of the territory will be started at the same time. The surviving lord will receive an additional reward based on the ranking after the challenge. After the rating is completed, Opponents will be selected based on corresponding scores and the overall strength of the attacking team will be determined.

The 15 to 60 minutes after the challenge starts is the preparation phase for the attacker. At this time, both sides cannot attack. After the preparation phase is completed, the attack officially begins. The detailed rules have been explained in the previous announcement.

Due to the uniqueness and multiple possibilities of this challenge, please pay attention to subsequent global announcements for specific details and judgments]

[This challenge will be scored separately after the end, and the behaviors in the challenge will be calculated. The rewards will be settled and announced approximately 6 hours to 24 hours after the challenge ends. Please wait patiently]

[A mysterious businessman will be released at the 12th and 18th hours of the defensive challenge. This businessman will be mixed in with the attackers. He has no characteristics. His identity can only be confirmed after contact. You can buy it from the mysterious businessman. Hidden props to help you pass challenges and get higher scores]

[The stop announcement will be kept for 3 minutes]

…

The announcement that the challenge has officially begun has finally appeared!

There is not much content in this announcement, because the details of the challenge have been added in the previous two times.

What the lord needs to do is to hold on for 24 hours to ensure that the [central stone pillar] does not die and is not destroyed. The price of failure is to have everything reset to zero.

All the lords will be turned into recruitment rolls again, and will eventually be distributed everywhere by the lord system in various ways.

The rule itself is not complicated, so what they have to do is simple.

Zong Shen carefully read the announcement subtitles and waited for the three-minute pause to end.

In the absolute silence, his thoughts seemed to have wings.

Complete deduction of the process mentioned in the announcement

According to the information in the announcement, the official defensive challenge will start about an hour after the timeout ends.

After all, the attacker must be selected first, and then the strength can be determined and launched.

The offensive side also has to deploy and arrange, otherwise it will not be possible at all.

All of this has clear rules and answers.

Time passed quickly, and as the announcement subtitles faded, the pause state ended.

Zong Shen looked around again and saw that the surrounding scene was completely different!

Above the head is an eternal blue light curtain, just like the starry sky in the universe, but brighter than the starry sky.

The terrain and environment outside the territory have not changed, and it still looks like a grassland.

It's just that the end of the line of sight can no longer be seen.

There is a feeling of mirror extension in the distance. It seems that this is the exclusive challenge area mentioned in the announcement.

Even if Zong Shen pokes a hole in the sky here, it will not have any impact on the outside world.

Such a difficult-to-understand method can only be attributed to the power of the lord system.

The light was abundant, almost the same as a sunny day, the only difference was the color of the sky.

Above the sky, a huge countdown appeared.

The current time is 23:59:47, which is the countdown to the defensive challenge.

As long as he and [Central Stone Pillar] can see the countdown reaching zero, it will prove that the challenge is over.

"Luna, please go back to your room."

"I will use the crystal to inform you if there is any situation."

Zong Shen kissed Luna's forehead, touched her belly and said softly.

"Sir, be sure to pay attention to your own safety!"

"Luna... can actually fight..."

Luna's eyes were full of concern and she couldn't help but say.

At this juncture, she still didn't want to lie down.

But Zong Shen shook his head firmly.

"No, the territory does not lack your fighting power."

"What you have to do is protect yourself and your children..."

"our children…"

His tone was very soft, like a gentle lullaby.

After hearing the word "child", Luna sighed, nodded in agreement, and turned towards the stairs of the tower. According to Zong Shen's instructions, she would stay in a safe fortress.

A minute or two after Luna left, new changes appeared.

A brand new announcement and a blank form appear in the mind, creating an illusion of being in front of the eyes.

There are various options on the form, but the numbers at the end are still blank.

[Territory comprehensive rating begins]

[Calculation in progress, list results will be displayed in real time]

【Calculation completed】

[Comprehensive score of the territory: 867096]

[Comprehensive rating ranking of all lord territories: (Global statistics have not been completed and cannot be viewed at the moment)]

【Waiting…】

This time the table-like subtitles change in real time.

As streaks of red light swept across the entire territory, including himself, rows of scoring data were quickly calculated.

He doesn't know whether his score is high or low, after all, the scoring standards have not been announced.

I think my rating is definitely one of the best.

And while it was being calculated, the strategy module entered a silent state without saying hello.

He was not sure whether it was blocked because of the change of scene, or whether it was actively turning on sleep to avoid scanning.

He was not sure about this at all. Maybe the exclusive collection of the challenge blocked some of the permissions of the lord system, so the strategy module plug-in could not intervene.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown.

After waiting for a few minutes again, when the countdown became 23:52:37, the ranking information was finally refreshed.

The red light that had been scanning suddenly disappeared.

[Comprehensive rating ranking of all lord territories: 1]

[Congratulations on defeating 99.999% of the lords in the world]

[(Click to expand the ranking list and view the ratings of the top ten lords)]

…

After seeing the results, Zong Shen was not surprised.

He has done this, and if someone in his sect is not number one, he should be struck by lightning.

Zong Shen chose to view the rankings. This setting of only viewing the top ten was a bit annoying, because there was no one in front of him.

[First place: Zong Shen 1999514 (score: 867096)]

[Second place: Caesar Piero 1987616 (score: 432921)]

[Third place: Zhang Bowen 1993219 (score: 429713)]

[Fourth place: Yamaguchi Jiefu 1995118 (score: 428369)]

[Fifth place: George Blanton 19891123 (score: 426792)]

…

[Ninth place: Chen Rui 1994613 (score: 417324)]

[Tenth place: Igor Yevgeny 2000407 (score: 414791)]

…

There is no European Emperor Aze in the top ten!

But he did see the mysterious Chen Rui.

In fact, the difference in ratings among the top ten is not very big, ranging from a few thousand to more than 10,000.

And due to the viewing rules, he couldn't see what happened next.

According to Zong Shen's previous estimates, Aze's strength would not be much lower than Chen Rui's.

I'm afraid it's also around 400,000 points, but because the ranking is quite fierce, it doesn't appear in the top ten.

But Zongze's ranking is definitely not that low.

As for Jiang Yi and Medina, there is no trace at all.

The gap between second place and Zong Shen was nearly 400,000 points, and Zong was basically surpassed by someone.

Even so, the second-ranked guy named Cesare Piero is truly the pride of heaven.

They are also the real leaders among billions of lords!

It is normal to lose at the hands of someone from Zong.

However, this Cesare Piero's lead is not too far behind, and he will probably overtake in the future.

If the lords with a comprehensive score of more than 400,000 are counted as the T1 echelon, then Zong Shen is far ahead at the top of the pyramid and is the insurmountable T0 echelon!

It gave him the feeling of seeing all the small mountains at a glance.

There were billions of people in the first batch of lords. I don’t know if there are even a hundred people who have survived to this day and have a comprehensive rating of more than 400,000. This is the real situation.

This also shows that a rating of 400,000 is a hurdle, and he has already passed it.

Speaking of which, not only Aze is not in the top ten, but even Jane Hessitz, who is supported by the indigenous forces of the Salander Sultanate, is not in the top ten.

Zong Shen hasn't paid attention to that guy's current situation for a long time.

He still remembered the golden banner notice that guy got after defeating the dark clouds in the sky.

I don’t know what’s going on now, I’ll have to ask the strategy module after the challenge is over.

…

At the same time, in a dark space that cannot be fathomed.

There are countless colorful bubbles floating here, and each bubble is a lord's exclusive challenge area. This place is not interfered by any rules and is relatively independent.

In one of the bubbles, Caesar Piero was in the territory. He looked at the ranking list in his consciousness and frowned slightly.

"The gap is so big..."

"As expected of a guy who has received several golden global banner notices!"

He muttered and sighed.

The almost doubled score gap gave him a deep sense of powerlessness.

He knows how difficult it is for him to accumulate his current net worth.

I can’t imagine what big event Zong Shen has done with such a high rating!

You must know that the score is not a simple 1+1 superposition, but represents the gap in real-time progress.

If the gap is doubled in one month, the gap will only get wider and wider in two and three months.

Unless Zong Shen died in a defensive challenge.

"call…"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you can't be number one."

"Before that guy reaches his hand here, I have to accumulate enough strength..."

Caesar Piero sighed, his desire for comparison was completely shattered, and he was already thinking about his way out.

…

Another challenge in an exclusive area.

Chen Rui stood on the tower with an indifferent expression.

“The trajectory change is really serious.”

"But my guess was correct. Zong Shen is definitely a variable in his fate."

"According to this development momentum, we may really break through the difficulties in the second and third acts and start an ending that never happened in the previous life."

His thoughts were as deep as the sea, and Garona stood beside him to accompany him.

…

Zongze's ranking is rather embarrassing, ranking 13th in the world, and he can only see third place at most.

"Why can't you see me?"

"He is indeed in the top three!"

"Fuck, what a great comparison!"

Aze couldn't help but said something dirty.

This "grass" represents the little jealousy and comparison in his heart.

The "Zhen Niubi" at the back is his admiration and blessing for his brother.

If this kid saw Zong Shen's scores, he would probably doubt his life even more.

Unknowingly, Zong Shen had thrown away the lords of the t1 ladder for eighteen streets, and even an European dog like Zong Ze couldn't compare.
