Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

There is no doubt about the strength of Cousin Gil.

Zong Shen had already seen it once when he first recruited Joan of Arc.

His relationship with Joan of Arc is more like a special companion spirit.

The stronger Jeanne is, the stronger Cousin Gill she summons will naturally be.

This symbiotic relationship of going hand in hand is a good thing for Zong Shen.

The added value of income from cultivating Joan of Arc is greatly increased.

It's equivalent to buying one and getting more.

Cultivating a legend in Joan of Arc, and even cousin Gil also has legendary strength, isn't this just a matter of making money without losing money?

What's more, in addition to the eldest cousin, there are 24 French swordsmen, who are also not weak in strength.

And it is also directly related to Joan of Arc's strength.

It's just that the connection isn't as deep as Joan of Arc and Jill.

In other words, the stronger Joan is.

Cousin Gill and the French swordsmen recruited along with him became stronger.

Therefore, cultivating Joan of Arc is a very cost-effective operation for Zong Shen.

Because Jeanne is not the only one who becomes stronger in the end.

When Zong Shen thought of this, he became even more excited.

He turned his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Cousin Gil, whose whole body was hidden in armor.

Through the sturdy knight's visor, Zong Shen seemed to see a pair of firm and cold eyes.

There seemed to be no emotion in these eyes, only a firm will to protect them.

In other words, Cousin Gil should be regarded as a special summon.

It is neither a normal intelligent summon nor a mechanical and stupid puppet.

His state is somewhere in between.

It can be understood that he has subjective wisdom, but all his thoughts are based on the premise of protecting Joan of Arc.

Cousin Jill would have no interest in anything other than that.

He is a very pure guardian, and Joan of Arc comes with her own bodyguard of dead soldiers.

So don't expect these older cousins ​​to perform tasks that are too complicated.

Their core mission is to protect Joan of Arc.

But that was enough for Zong Shen.

After all, Joan of Arc takes a commanding route and has a halo-type range gain effect.

Her survival time is directly linked to her overall combat power.

Her army is extremely resilient and can completely crush opponents of the same level.

The invisible gaze made Zong raise the corner of his mouth.

He hasn't checked the relevant information yet.

I can read a lot just from cousin Gil's eyes.

Eyes are the windows to the soul, especially the first glance that is revealed unintentionally, often revealing the true inner thoughts.

[French Swordsman Marshal: Gilles de Rey (legendary mid-level)]

[Legendary mid-level]

[Race: Human Race/Iron Armored Continent/French Empire]

【Power: 2469】

[Agility: 1179]

【Wisdom: 555】

【Charm: 626】

[Chopping damage: 3726~3737]

[Head protection: 435]

[Upper body protection: 535]

[Lower body protection: 535]

[Magic Resistance: 420]

[Health value: 128500]

[Active skill: Fearless Guard (after activation, it increases double resistance by 1000 points and has a passive taunting effect. Enemies within 100 meters will give priority to attacking Gil de Rey, lasting 20 minutes)]

[Passive skill: Grandmaster Swordsmanship (with master-level swordsmanship, there are few opponents when fighting with a sword)

Flag of Honor (Gille de Rey can return to rally the flag after his death, so he fights bravely without fear of death)

Cherish the Protection (When Jeanne is attacked and her health is reduced, every 1% of Jeanne's health lost will increase Gil de Rey's base slashing damage by 100 points)

Self-salvation (passively restores 20 health points per second, and has an equivalent strong healing effect. When Gil de Rey's health drops below 50%, this effect will be doubled)

Breaking Master (can cause an additional 1.0 times slashing damage after breaking through the block)

Continuous strikes (consecutive effective hits during attacks will increase the basic damage by a certain amount, with a maximum of 120 superimposed combos. When the attack misses, is blocked, or is out of combat, the combo gain will disappear)]

…

Cousin Gil's attributes have been greatly improved.

Directly possesses the legendary mid-level strength.

There is also an active skill called [Fearless Guard].

You must know that his original active skills are blank.

There are even more passive skills.

All focus on actual combat strengthening.

There is no doubt that Cousin Gil is definitely a master of single combat.

But it is relatively weak in terms of group attack.

However, as a protector, Gil de Rey's position and mission are not originally for output.

Therefore, Cousin Gil's overall style is biased towards guarding and parrying.

For Zong, this is enough, and it can even be considered a huge profit.

Cousin Gil de Rey is not just bragging. The performance of such a high strength attribute in actual combat is definitely not much different.

It's just that the big cousin in the rallying flag is just the soul projection of Gil de Rey in the Iron Armored Continent.

According to the information left at the intersection of dimensions, Gil de Rey was originally good at the art of dark wizards.

It's a pity that it is not reflected in Cousin Jill here.

But if it comes to hand-to-hand combat on the ground, Jill is now completely capable of defeating Xiao Heizi.

Although his strength attribute is not higher than that of the old dragon-level Xiao Heizi who has returned to his ancestral bloodline.

But the passive skill called [Grandmaster Swordsmanship] is enough to illustrate Gil de Rey's actual combat ability.

Zong Shen still remembers that when Joan was first recruited, she would take the initiative to call her eldest cousin out for sparring.

As long as the eldest cousin and other French swordsmen are not dead, then the cooldown time of the [Hundred Flowers·Glory Banner] skill can be reduced a lot.

He thought about it in his mind.

Strictly speaking, Gil only has the attributes of a legendary swordsman, but does not have the corresponding active skills.

Compared with the normal legendary strongman, his skill pool only has a few passive effects, which is equivalent to a castrated version of the legendary swordsman.

But even so, it is still difficult to conceal his actual combat value.

At the very least, it is definitely more than enough to protect Joan of Arc.

Coupled with the built-in support and ability to die as a substitute, it would be difficult for Joan of Arc to die even if she wanted to.

After being summoned, the eldest cousin Gil de Rey stood meticulously in place with the other twenty-four French swordsmen.

They didn't speak, and they probably wouldn't take the initiative to speak. They always remained silent.

Like a wall of iron armor, standing motionless on both sides of Jeanne.

Waiting loyally for Joan of Arc to give orders.

As a lord, Zong Shen does not even have secondary control authority.

This is also a rare situation.

So if he wanted to mobilize the cousin team, he could only give orders to Joan of Arc first.

Joan of Arc then conveyed the order to them.

But considering the strengths of the Cousins ​​team, this little trouble is nothing.

Then, Zong Shen looked at the French swordsman next to cousin Gil.

As usual, take a look at the attributes of the French swordsmen in the cousin group.

[French Marshal's Bodyguard: Colin Gabriel (Gold)]

[Legendary low level]

[Race: Human Race/Iron Armored Continent/French Empire]

【Power: 1329】

[Agility: 457]

【Wisdom: 350】

【Charm: 572】

[Chopping damage: 1972~2014]

[Head protection: 310]

[Upper body protection: 330]

[Lower body protection: 315]

[Magic Resistance: 260]

[Health value: 76500]

[Active skill: Dependence on life and death (eight French Marshal's guards can enter a state of dependence on life and death. Their health points are linked to each other and the damage received is shared equally, giving them stronger collaborative combat capabilities. The duration is 20 minutes, the cooling time and [Hundred Flowers] ·Rallying Flag】Synchronized)】

[Passive skills: Master Swordsmanship, Glory Flag, Loyal Support]

…

Zong Shen was completely silent.

This is not just a small profit, it is a huge profit!

A strengthened Joan of Arc, but picked up a team of legends.

Cousin Gil has legendary mid-level strength, and these French swordsmen also have legendary low-level strength.

Although these French swordsmen also have no skills.

But its attributes and single-target lethality are truly legendary.

There are more than twenty people in the entire cousin group!

This means that Joan of Arc has more than twenty violent and loyal legendary thugs by her side at all times.

Even if you don't fight back, just acting as a human shield, it's enough for the enemy to torment for a while.

And faced with such a lineup, ordinary legendary opponents would probably be confused.

At this moment, there is only one word in Zong Shen's mind, and that is make money!

It seems that if there is an opportunity in the future like [Legendary Instruction] that can directly upgrade the strength level, Joan of Arc must be given priority.

Because her added value, or joint benefits, is quite substantial.

This scene was also seen by Aisiya.

She was originally a little complacent because of the rewards she received one after another.

But after seeing Joan's changes, she became extremely envious.

After conducting [Legendary Instruction] on Joan of Arc, Zong Shen considered whether to take her with him next time he went out.

As for the training of the French Protectorate, she can be included in the [Dimensional Seed (Special)] together with the trained female spearmen.

A tough kid like Jeanne d'Arc would benefit the most from having her around.

Of course, what Zong Shen actually values ​​​​more is the powerful cousin group.

They can be recruited repeatedly without fear of sacrifice, and their combat strength is sufficient to meet the requirements.

Having Jeanne by your side is equivalent to having two teams of legendary swordsmen.

Even if it is used as a human shield or pathfinder, it is perfect.

It just so happened that Penny Lancaster and the 20 million people had been transferred from the small dimension world to the territory.

Recently they were placed in a newly built residential area in the territory.

It was originally part of the population resettlement plan.

Speaking of Penny, Zong Shen actually had something to explain to her.

As a city-level leader under the privilege of [Independent Rule], Penny herself should be a very important figure in the territory.

However, in fact, the current Penny Lancaster is completely marginalized in the territory.

The part of the population that belonged to her command were all sub-communities to Zong Shen.

The effect of [Independent Command] is that the giant city-level leaders controlled by the lord can independently form a command structure and accept allegiance.

The population that is loyal to the leader is the sub-subordinate people.

All sub-land citizens will be subject to the same effect as the upper limit of loyalty points of 85 points.

But there is no longer a direct and clear loyalty relationship with Zong Shen.

Because the sub-lords are only directly responsible to their giant city-level leaders.

For Zong Shen, it is equivalent to an ordinary citizen with 85 loyalty points.

In other words, Penny Lancaster is a high-level tool and the control node under Zong Shen.

This model helped Zong Shen quickly bring the giant city under actual control.

At present, [Independent Dominance] is only in the first level state.

Zong Shen can control up to two giant city level rulers.

This privilege can be upgraded in the future.

Overall, the benefits to Zong Shen outweigh the disadvantages.

But there are many things worth debating about Penny Lancaster's personal positioning.

Her personal loyalty to Zong Shen is not very high.

In addition, he was affected by Blood Rose and the collapse of his family.

Penny is in a strange state now.

She didn't have any problem with Zong Shen's attitude, but she had no initiative.

And Mr. Zong had not yet decided how to deal with her, or find something for her to do.

So far, he has only regarded Penny as a tool to accommodate the massive new population.

It is worth mentioning that with Penny, a giant city-level ruler who could control a population of 20 million at one go, Zong Shen was stunned to ask Mariel to fill her with a lot of civilians with no special skills.

Leaders with heroic qualifications were selected separately.

Participate in the matryoshka-like domination of the territory.

So about Penny Lancaster's subsequent placement.

Zong Shen is ready to seize the time to implement it.

What he has to do now is to build the Akalu Holy Light Cathedral in his territory.

So Zong Shen asked Aisia to contact Mariel and Howie, and also asked Joan of Arc to find Penny.

There is no need to delay these things. It is better to get them done in one go before he goes out next time.

Aisia and Joan of Arc each took out their respective [Communication Crystals] to contact the corresponding person.

Zong Shen looked at Gil de Rey, who was still standing where he was.

Thinking of the scene where Joan of Arc was sparring with cousin Gil, he also felt a little itchy.

Anyway, Gil de Rey is just a summoned object and will not be truly eliminated.

Just use Cousin Gil to sharpen your fighting skills.

It will take at least 10 to 15 minutes for others to arrive.

Zong Shen did not plan to use any skills, and was even prepared to take off some equipment.

Try to reduce your own attributes to the same level as Gil de Rey.

It is best if the difference in a single attribute does not exceed 1,000 points.

Only by playing this way can you learn something.

Just take off those magical objects and jewelry with full attribute buffs.

The main reason why he wanted to fight Jill was to see how powerful the master-level swordsmanship was.

You must know that Zong Shen also has some experience in swordsmanship.

He has integrated into the [Swordsmanship Essence of Lord Swordsman], so he has mastered some superficial knowledge about the artistic conception of swords.

Zong Shen was very curious about how far master-level swordsmanship could reach!

Fighting against Gil will definitely improve his fighting skills.
