Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Leaving the cave made of [God Shell Rock].

Khamis was dozing on the meadow by the river.

But as soon as Zong Shen left the cave, it raised its head keenly.

The next moment, someone from Zong directly activated [Fantasy God Flash] and came to it.

Master, it seems that you have gained a lot.

As his riding pet, Hamis has a spiritual connection with Zong Shen in some respects.

You can vaguely feel his emotional changes.

Zong Shen was in a good mood at this time.

Okay.

This is an interesting place.

He said concisely and looked back at the rock wall a few hundred meters away.

[God Shell Rock] has become the best disguise here.

No matter how the terrain changes, their ability to isolate magic remains.

This will always be a black box area.

In order to regularly collect [Negative Demon Liquid] and at the same time let Williams O'Brien transform the Negative Body for him, Zong Shen has officially decided to set up this place as a secret base and transit supply station in a camp.

In the future, when expanding to the giant city in this direction, the supply depot will come in handy.

Looking at Hamis who was slowly getting up, Zong Shen took out the Xumi porcelain bottle with his backhand and extracted a drop of [Negative Demonic Liquid] from it.

As soon as this drop of [Negative Demonic Liquid] was taken out, it reacted violently with the magic power floating in the space.

The annihilation effect appeared, making it seem like it was boiling.

Zong Shen let this drop of [Negative Demonic Liquid] drip onto the grass and watched it annihilate the grass.

Leaving behind a large dark trail.

Hamis, did you feel anything strange from this drop of liquid?

he asked with interest.

I saw Hamis taking a few steps back in disgust.

The copper-bell-sized eyes stared intently at the place where the [Negative Demonic Liquid] fell.

Master, it makes me feel the aura of destruction.

It's the kind of complete destruction...

Khamis replied in a serious tone.

It can be seen that it is very afraid of [Negative Demonic Liquid] and wants to hide far away.

If Zong Shen hadn't been by his side, it might have chosen to run away in the first place.

Hearing its evaluation, Zong nodded slightly.

That drop of [Negative Demonic Liquid] actually has no effect in the outside world.

It only takes a few breaths from extraction to annihilation.

Taking its impact point as the center of the circle, the meadow with a radius of about twenty centimeters was destroyed.

The green grass withered and turned into ashes.

That is the result of the annihilation of natural magic.

Even the soil changed from rich, deep black to off-white.

In addition, during the annihilation process, a circle of burnt blackness similar to burn marks was left nearby.

Zong Shen silently kept this situation in mind.

It seems that as long as the quantity is sufficient, [Negative Demonic Liquid] can indeed be used as a big killer.

After gathering his thoughts, he turned over and rode on Hamis's back.

Let's go, next stop!

The development journey of Holy Light Ruins has come to an end in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the last stop left is [The Bleeding Place of Saint Sonde Keating].

These three ruins can be connected to form a triangle in the area.

And they are actually not that far apart.

Therefore, there is more or less some correlation.

Ten thousand years ago, these three ruins were originally the products of one period.

After Zong Shen won the Holy Light Relic Grand Slam here.

It is equivalent to obtaining the things left behind by the Holy Light Church and digging out the dust-laden events.

Zong Shen also knew something about the praise of the Holy Son.

He is actually still alive and guarding the Holy City of the Holy Light Church.

But without the [Holy Power Key (Special)], his power could never be released.

I'm afraid I haven't given up the search for the magic key in these years.

But now, the [Holy Power Key (Special)] fell into Zong Shen's hands.

He could definitely find an opportunity to use this as a bargaining chip to get some good things from Son of God Keating.

Maybe we can also take the opportunity to negotiate and gain some power belonging to the Holy Light Church.

You must know that the units of the Holy Light department are very practical.

Priests can milk and fight, and warriors are also extremely powerful in combat.

Coupled with all kinds of fancy holy light power and faith blessing.

This makes the units of the Holy Light series very popular among the lords.

In the current [market], there is even a situation where a third-level [Holy Light Priest Recruitment Scroll] can be exchanged for two other types of recruitment scrolls.

Back then, Zong Shen's first [Holy Light Priest Recruitment Scroll] was obtained in exchange for [Moon God Spring Water], and it was that recruitment scroll that recruited Aysia.

I don’t know if that big enemy will slap him on the thigh later.

But for ordinary lords of that period.

The instantaneous replenishment feature of [Moon God Spring] is of great significance in terms of land reclamation and life-saving.

After all, there is no need to cast a spell, let alone wait.

In critical moments, just pour it into your mouth and your health will be restored.

It would not be a big deal if he lost blood.

Maybe the guy I exchanged with at the beginning had more than one recruitment scroll for the Holy Light Priest.

Regardless, there's a reason why the Holy Light class is so popular.

It can fight or assist, and it has extra lethality against evil races.

On the other hand, units such as Necrons will not cause additional damage to Holy Light units.

This becomes one-way unreasonable.

If you can find a way to get a group of Holy Light units from the Holy Light Church.

It will undoubtedly be of great help in promoting the balance of arms in the territory.

Thinking like this, Zong Shen became even more looking forward to the place where the blood of the Holy Son Sonde Keating was shed.

I hope to get more related items there that can help me control each other.

…

At the same time, the northwest of Endless Continent.

The Kingdom of Rhodok, in the Earl's Castle in the giant city of Beluda.

Zongze was wearing a decent dress and sitting on a chair in the living room.

In his hand he held a small brocade box.

It contains a ring set with a huge ruby.

Speaking of which, Zongze has had this ring for some time.

It was in the early days of Advent that he found it in a bird's nest in the forest.

At that time, he also sent relevant item information to his brother.

No additional remarks.

The information he could see was relatively brief.

[Earl Bliss’s beloved ring]

[This is Earl Bliss’s most beloved ring, which was lost in the wild during a hunting trip]

[The Earl of Bliss is the most powerful person in the entire Beluda City, and he is also the hereditary Earl of the Kingdom of Rhodok. If you can send this ring to the Earl of Bliss in the Beluda City, you can Will gain the friendship of Earl Bliss】

…

Although it is a bit monotonous, it also shows its effect.

It’s just that the giant city of Beluda is more than two thousand kilometers away from his territory.

For Zongze, who was in the early stages of his arrival, it was definitely a long distance.

Later, after gradually developing and rising, he gained the ability to operate across regions.

But the trip was delayed due to a series of things.

You must know that his luck has always been good, and he even received a special settlement title [Lucky One] during the settlement reward of the defense challenge.

At the same time, I got an exclusive [Effect: Luck is always with you].

This confirmed his identity as the European Emperor.

As the European Emperor, there is no shortage of relics and resources to explore in daily development.

And instead of him looking for the ruins, the ruins often come to him.

For example, if he discovers the Blood Ax Clan's treasure house near his territory, he needs the [Blood Ax Key (Glory)] to open it.

But the key has long since become six [Blood Ax Key Fragments (orange)].

Zongze only had two key fragments in his hand, and the remaining four were scattered in different places.

At that time, Zong Shen once used the strategy module to help Aze inquire.

and relayed the information to him.

This made Zongze guess that his brother might have some way to detect information.

Among the remaining four key fragments, one happens to be in the treasure house of Count Bliss in the giant city of Beluda.

This ring fits right into the earl of Bliss' line.

He is the ruler of the giant city of Beluda.

The ring itself is also associated with a favorability task.

As long as you take this ring to the giant city of Beluda and return it to Earl Bliss, you can gain his friendship.

Although Bliss is just a count, his family is extremely powerful.

This made Bliss the leader of the giant city of Beluda with only the title of earl.

In fact, the title itself has little to do with the identity of the person in charge.

This aspect is all about family power.

As long as the family power is strong enough, even a baron may be able to control a huge city.

Zongze's arrangement is very simple. He came to the giant city of Beluda this time mainly to establish a good relationship with Earl Bliss.

In addition to trying to get [Blood Ax Key Fragment (orange)] from the opponent's treasure house.

You also have to inquire about all aspects of information and obtain the other party's care.

Because the recent Rhodok Kingdom is actually not quite right.

Several noble families in the western region have completely united.

They openly challenged the King of Rhodok.

The contemporary King of Rhodok has only been crowned for more than ten years, so he is considered a young new king.

In this era of kingship.

After the new king is crowned, it will take a long time to win over the nobles in the territory.

There may be many contradictions in the distribution of interests, which will leave more or less hidden dangers.

Especially when the new king performs relatively strongly.

The alliance of nobles in the west was united because of the conflicts when the new king was crowned.

But what exactly happened, Zongze didn’t know.

He was just lucky, but he couldn't compare with his brother Zong Shen in terms of information acquisition.

Moreover, his personality is more Buddhist and he develops steadily.

He never aims too high and is not that interested in things outside the area.

But he is not an idiot. Based on the known situation, it is not difficult to guess that the structure in the western part of the Rhodok Kingdom is going to be in chaos.

The noble alliance in the entire west accounts for about a quarter of the overall power of the Rhodok Kingdom.

In addition, recently, the nobles in the northern part of the kingdom have also been preparing to make moves.

The northern nobles actually reached a consensus with the Gaoling tribe of the Kingdom of Virginia.

The nobles in the western and northern regions had objections.

The new king, Gray Foss, is still under a lot of pressure.

The foundations and supporters of the Foss royal family are mostly concentrated in the south and east of the kingdom.

Facing the western noble alliance and the northern nobles mixed with the Gaoling people, it was difficult to suppress them easily.

If the nobles in the west and north unite for a second time, the situation will become even worse.

Civil war engulfing the kingdom could break out at any time.

When all-out war comes, it is unknown whether the development of the Buddhist system can continue.

Taking advantage of the current situation, he thought it was appropriate to go to the giant city to find out the news.

With this ring, Zongze plans to establish a good relationship with the earl first.

Then see if there are any benefits to be gained.

And after arriving at the giant city, it is easier to inquire about news.

Most of his current news was obtained from passing traveling merchants and nearby cities, towns and villages.

Fortunately, the Mountain Forest Territory is rich in resources and there are many ruins around it.

Therefore, he can safely develop the surrounding areas in a short period of time, and then consider the overall situation of the kingdom.

As long as he can be taken care of by Earl Bliss, he can continue to lie down!

At this time, Zongze was waiting patiently in the living room.

If it weren't for that ring, he wouldn't even be able to enter the castle.

Zongze is relatively powerful among the lords, but among the aborigines, he is just a blank slate with no background.

For nobles in the royal era, background or lack thereof was an important criterion for determining their attitude towards others.

A poor rookie will naturally not be taken seriously.

And the favorability mission attached to this ring can only take effect after meeting the earl himself.

Zongze didn't have any complaints. He was very patient and sat on the chair honestly.

He also picked up a book for living room decoration.

It was an epic story that was very popular in the Rhodok Kingdom.

After flipping through a few pages, Zongze read it with interest.

Just when he was halfway through reading.

The door on the other side of the living room was suddenly pushed open.

A beautiful girl in a formal dress with auburn waves ran in carelessly, holding the hem of her skirt.

He was still mumbling as he ran.

My dance partner is in the parlor?

Hell, the castle has nine drawing rooms!

Hey, it can't be this guy, right?

She looked at Zongze who was sitting upright with a book in his hand.

It happened that Zongze was also attracted by the silence and raised his head to look at her.

When their eyes met, sparks sparked involuntarily.

You must be my dance partner!

The girl's eyes lit up and she quickly came to Zongze.

She seemed to be used to being domineering and did not ask Zongze what he meant.

Instead, he directly took his hand.

It wasn't until he found that he couldn't pull it that he stopped stepping on the air.

Are you rejecting me?

Hurry, everyone is waiting for me!

the girl urged, without explaining much.

Zongze pulled out his arm calmly. Although he was taking the path of a spell caster, he definitely couldn't pull the girl in front of him with his body.

Sorry, beautiful lady.

I'm here to return Sir Bris's lost ring.

He explained patiently and opened the brocade box in his hand.

After seeing the ring, the girl nodded with a sudden look on her face.

Oh, so that's it!

Great, then you should go dancing with me.

Because my father is in the banquet hall!

…
