Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

In this way, the second arcane crystal fragment was obtained smoothly.

Most of the fighting heroes in the territory can learn the glorious tradition of "scraping the territory" after following Zong Shen for a period of time.

No matter whether it is useful or not, take away everything that can be taken away. If you can't take it away, just destroy it or hide it and take it away next time. You will never miss a stitch or a thread.

After she was done, she dived towards the lake, planning to return to the shore first and then contact Zong Shen.

Vereesa, who was wearing light armor, swung her legs together like a fish's tail, and quickly emerged from the lake with bubbles "squeaking".

"Huh...huh..."

She took a few sharp breaths of air to relieve the pressure in her lungs.

It was still some distance from the lake, and the next thing she had to do was swim to the shore.

The two [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts] still stayed where they were. Since they were both in the stealth state of [Shadow Mimicry], Vereesa couldn't see their specific locations.

You can only tell they're still nearby by the ripples of the water.

However, after Vereesa emerged from the lake, these two guys took the initiative to cancel their stealth and swam over.

Wherever she swam, these guys followed.

Their black fish skin-like tights fit the body very well, and coupled with the troll's slender limbs, their swimming speed was not much slower than that of the agile Vereesa.

Vereesa glanced back, ignored it, and swam towards the shore intently.

The water in the lake was swayed away, leaving a white waterline mark.

After a few more minutes, Veresa finally returned to the shore. She was wearing a ponytail, and her hair had been completely soaked by the lake water. Lake water was dripping from the gaps in her armor, and soon she was at her feet. The tidal flats left visible water stains.

As for the two [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts], they stood behind Vereesa step by step like loyal guards.

The soaked Vereesa was like a peach washed through water, making her look even more alluring.

Vereesa's face turned red because of the violent swimming and continuous underwater movement.

You must know that the temperature at the bottom of the lake is hovering near the freezing point, and the ice layer at the bottom is well below zero.

Even so, Vereesa's body temperature didn't seem to be affected much.

She stood on the tidal flat on the shore of the lake to rest for a while, and walked slowly towards the outside. At the same time, she took out the [Communication Crystal]. When she was about to contact Zong Shen, a blue light flashed in front of her, and the void rippled after Zong Shen. Appeared.

He was wearing the [Blood Demon War Helmet (Red)] and Vereesa couldn't see his specific expression.

But judging from the eyes in the gap, she felt that Zong Shen must be smiling now.

The two didn't say much, Vereesa just nodded.

Seeing her nodding, Zong Shen knew that the task had been successfully completed.

In fact, he arrived a few minutes earlier than Vereesa, and happened to wait nearby for a while until the five-minute cooldown of [Wandering Walk] expired.

As for the ten [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts] who were chasing him, they were still running away a kilometer away.

However, when Zong Shen appeared, the two [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts] standing behind Vereesa discovered the target and entered a stealth state and rushed towards Zong Shen.

Vereesa quickly waved her hand to stop her, but Zong Shen didn't care at all.

He directly grabbed Vereesa's wrist, and the next moment he activated [Wandering Walk] and disappeared.

The magic skill for “walking the dog” is none other than [Wandering]!

This wave of flashes showed that Zong Shen took Vereesa directly to the limit of the maximum single movement distance of ten kilometers [Wandering Walk].

Without any delay, he launched [Wandering Walk] again and appeared directly near the southern position of the territory, which was under the cover of the [Red Gold Barrier].

The troops assembled previously have been waiting here for a long time.

This trip took a little over twenty minutes, and there were still eight or nine minutes left before the time he and Lihuo Calrigg made a new appointment.

The gray shadow clone still stood in the same place outside the shield.

When Zong Shen returned to the territory with the wet Vereesa, Tasia, who was staying nearby, immediately came up to meet her. Today, she did not wear a black robe, directly exposing her ferocious appearance [Exposed Body with Abnormal Bones] outer.

After confirming that she was back in her territory, Vereesa also breathed a sigh of relief.

She flipped her hands and took out three things from the storage compartment.

They are the [Evil God's Forgotten Skin Bag] containing the arcane crystal fragments, the [Frost Magic Gem] with half of the frost elemental magic left, and the broken metal plate.

Zong Shen glanced at it and handed the magic gem and [The Evil God's Forgotten Skin Pouch] to Vereesa's hands again.

"You keep these two things in your own storage compartment."

"The power of that arcane crystal shard is enough to detonate and destroy any dark orc camp."

"Wait for my order. You may need to take action then."

"At that time, you can ride a flying tiger or a little black boy to fly over the target and drop it directly."

"It doesn't need to be placed at a central point to prevent the dark orcs from suppressing it. It can be placed somewhere in the camp."

"The arcane energy contained in this arcane crystal fragment will be released without suppression, stimulating the surrounding elemental magic and eventually turning into an elemental explosion!"

"You must evacuate within three minutes after being dropped. Of course, under special circumstances, please use your life to ensure that the fragments can detonate successfully. Death here is not real death. As long as the territory is not destroyed, you can be resurrected later."

Zong Shen briefly explained the purpose of the arcane crystal fragments and arranged alternative plans in advance.

If necessary, he was prepared to let Vereesa release this fatal fragment.

After all, he already carries an arcane crystal fragment with him.

There is no need to put it all on him alone.

If he ran into some trouble, it would be inconvenient to delay the opportunity.

So he decided to simply leave the fragment on Vereesa, while briefly telling her the specific power of the fragment and how to detonate it.

This thing is actually not complicated. You only need to expose it to the outside. After a few minutes of brewing, it will cause a riot of elemental magic in the surrounding area of ​​ten kilometers to thirty kilometers, which will then trigger conflicts between different elements and create An earth-shattering explosion is coming.

Depending on how long it takes to simmer, the final explosion affects a different area.

Anyway, the radius of ten kilometers to thirty kilometers will not affect Zong Shen's territory 100%.

The closest to his territory is the Dark Orcs Raid Camp No. 4, which is the territory of the Blackwater Army.

The straight-line distance between the two places also reaches 35 kilometers.

As for the three dark orc attack camps in other directions, they are even further away from the territory.

Vereesa naturally understood the importance of the arcane crystal fragment. She nodded solemnly and put it away again.

There was still a metal plate left, which aroused Zong Shen's interest.

"Is this thing also at the bottom of the lake?"

Zong Shen asked softly.

"This metal plate was found a meter or two away from the arcane crystal fragment."

"According to the analysis of the current reproduction scene, this metal plate also exists in the lake in the Endless Continent. It should come from the same different world as the arcane crystal fragments."

Vereesa reported the report truthfully and expressed her own judgment at the same time.

"I understand, leave this metal plate, you can go and rest for a while."

"Let Reese Ulysses pick you up. You can go back to the Lord's Fortress to take a shower and change clothes first."

"With Howie and Mariel in the command room, there won't be any problems in a short time."

When Zong Shen said this, he suddenly gave Vereesa a strong hug.

"Thank you for your hard work."

This is the truth in his heart.

Although Vereesa has always behaved very coldly, always acting as if she should not approach strangers, except for a few people in the territory, she has a clear sense of distance from everyone else.

But in fact, Vereesa is considered an old man in the territory.

He is also the first heroic talent in the territory.

She has made so many contributions to the territory from the Crypt Challenge to now.

Putting aside those fancy and charming thoughts, Vereesa also deserves his personal thanks.

One can't just think about Gil, especially as a lord.

You must have an open-minded mentality and learn to let nature take its course without sadness or joy to be a qualified lord.

Zong Shen hugged Veresa and then politely let go. He took two steps back and grabbed the metal plate with one hand.

His intuition told him that this thing might not have any practical value, but it might contain clues about the original world of arcane crystal fragments.

Vereesa stood there with complicated eyes, but in the end she said nothing and turned around to leave.

Tasia, who was standing behind Zong Shen, watched Vereesa leave with an intriguing smile on her face.

The tips of her eyebrows trembled, and she only withdrew her gaze after knowing that Vereesa was far away.

At this time, Zong Shen was already holding the metal plate and studying it.

He still had a few minutes to see the ins and outs of this thing.

The longest point of this metal plate is about seventy centimeters, and its width is a standard fifty centimeters.

It looked like some kind of monument, but a large part was torn apart.

The thickness of the entire metal plate is about fifteen centimeters, and its weight is not exaggerated. After all, even Vereesa can pull it out with her bare hands.

There are some incomprehensible patterns engraved on the metal plate, and there are also abstract words similar to the divine glyphs in the earth. It is obvious that some information is recorded on it.

The inscription either praises or curses someone or something.

Specifically, the strategy module needs to take action.

So he stared at the slate, paying close attention while mobilizing the strategy module.

[Damaged Sarvaden Arcane Monument (grey)]

[Quality: Gray]

[Effect: None (from the arcane world called Salvaden continent, forged by Baal metal tempered by telekinesis, which records the origin and achievements of the arcane crystal runes at the beginning, until it was detonated by criminals) , the arcane crystal has always been in a stable state at the beginning and has been collected in the Sarvaden Dimension Arcane Museum)]

[Baal metal has elemental toughness and is immune to most elemental magic damage]

(One of the fragments of an inscription from another world, which extols the origin of the Arcane Crystal of the Beginning and its significance to the world of Sarvaden. The fragment you hold is part of the Arcane Crystal of the Beginning.

First of all, a brief introduction. The Sarvaden Arcane World is a world that specializes in arcane energy and telekinesis. The Arcane Crystal was the first pure arcane energy aggregate crystal that was condensed in that world.

Its appearance broke the shackles of talent and made all Salvadon people qualified to practice arcane energy. In Arcane Era 7294, when the Salvadon people created the eighth arcane crystal, the beginning of The arcane crystal was sent to the museum until the arcane crisis broke out. This involves a long story.

The status of telekinesis has always been inferior to that of arcana, but it also has a large number of fans in the continent of Sarvaden. Telekinesis magicians practice telekinesis, which is a strange power between shadow energy and telekinesis.

It was not until the end of the Arcane Era that the appearance of Maloran, the Mind-minded Maniac, changed the situation in the arcane world of Sarvaden.

He created a mental network to compete with the arcane network and cultivated a group of mental sinners.

The frenzied flames of war were ignited, and a war broke out between telepaths and arcane mages.

Several daring sinners of the mind worked hard to sneak into the Salvaden Arcane Museum under Maloran's planning. With the forbidden technique [Mind Resonance] developed by Maloran, the sinners sacrificed The cost of life activates the heart energy and creates [Mind Resonance] inside the Initiate Arcane Crystal. The powerful resonance destroys the relatively stable structure inside the Initiate Arcane Crystal. When the first crack appears, elemental riots are inevitable.

At the beginning, the arcane crystal was detonated within ten minutes. The violent elemental explosion blasted the giant city "Eternal Eden" where the Salvadon Arcane Museum is located into a desert, and even shook the dimensional barrier.

The power of a complete arcane crystal when detonated is unimaginable, and the city size of Eternal Eden is dozens of times larger than any giant city in the Endless Continent today.

After the dimensional barrier was exploded, part of the aftermath of the elemental explosion was swept into the void.

Also entering the void were those arcane crystal fragments that were extremely unstable after the collapse and some of the remains in the museum that were not destroyed by the explosion.

The timeline of that explosion occurred more than three hundred years ago in the Endless Continent. Two of the fragments fell into the Endless Continent together, and one of them detonated and turned into the lake.

Coincidentally, there was originally a frost demiplane under the lake, and there was an eighth-level [Frost Magic Gem] inside. The explosion destroyed that demiplane, and the arcane energy released by the remaining fragment attracted Got that [Frost Magic Gem]

The frost element froze it, allowing the fragment to remain in the end.

The super-level [Frost Magic Gem] in the Endless Continent has turned into a small area of ​​permanently frozen frost over hundreds of years, so the large-scale freezing of the bottom of the lake is irreversible.

The exclusive challenge area is a temporary world, and the rules are not perfect enough to support this area, so the strategy module uses a sixth-level [Frost Magic Gem] that has lost its magic power to replace it.)
