Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Any giant city that can develop to this point has basically become self-consistent.

In other words, those giant cities that cannot coordinate themselves may have been destroyed in the long river of history.

No matter which angle you look at Rhodok Imperial City, you can see the beauty of prosperity.

Especially for first-time visitors, this beauty is particularly shocking.

At this time, Zongze was in such shock.

As a lord who descended from the earth.

Modern cities and giant cities in the endless continent are completely different.

With this premise, it is reasonable for Zongze to be so shocked.

After riding a mountain carriage to the joint tavern, he was temporarily freed from this emotion.

After the shock, what follows is a deep desire, or greed.

This is greed for the entire Royal City of Rhodok.

After getting off the carriage, Zongze's eyes were still looking at the distant scenery.

He took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed his ambition.

Immediately he stepped into the tavern.

I found the bartender and successfully matched the code.

Came to the secret room and received some items prepared in advance.

Including forged false identity credentials.

There are also drafts of relevant copywriting related to life experience.

Finally, there is the status of entering the palace.

Zongze was assigned the status of a minor official in charge of garden pruning.

The one responsible happens to be the garden of the palace where Queen Svetlana lives.

He didn't master the relevant skills, but there was nothing he needed to do.

The gardeners and landscapers who actually do the work have already been bribed.

He just needs to hang on to this identity and go in and give random directions.

After receiving the relevant items and vouchers, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in the secret room of the tavern all night and read through all the information.

Make sure nothing goes wrong without revealing anything.

Zongze left the tavern only after he was ready.

Under the leadership of a dedicated person, we passed through various circles.

Finally arrived at the core area and successfully entered the palace.

The entire palace is a large palace complex.

There are many palaces of different styles, and even floating palaces.

All this made Zongze feel eye-opening.

It's like a redneck coming to town.

After entering the palace, the usher was replaced by a middle-aged man wearing a royal waiter's uniform.

He had a white face and no beard, and looked particularly unsmiling.

There was no communication with Zongze throughout the whole process, and no instructions were given.

It seems that the royal waiter who was bribed by the Western Noble Alliance is not a very knowledgeable guy. There should be many other minor characters who were bribed like this.

Otherwise, the Western Noble Alliance would not be able to arrange for many people to enter the palace in a logical manner.

In addition, Zongze also speculated that the northern nobles should have taken similar actions.

After all, Queen Svetlana is indeed a good entry point.

If you capture her, you can find out a lot of secret arrangements.

This will be very helpful for subsequent arrangements.

And Queen Westlana has the capital to backstab the king.

The backstab here is not worth the assassination.

At least it wasn't an assassination in the physical sense, but a psychological blow.

The specifics will depend on subsequent arrangements.

Zongze is actually just one of many chess pieces.

He saw this matter very clearly.

From the beginning to the end, he did not think that he was important to the Western Noble Alliance.

But this did not prevent him from seriously launching an attack on Queen Westlana.

It's not just about the reward of a giant city.

It is also an opportunity to engage in a game involving the upper echelons of the Rhodok Kingdom.

My brother is right.

This is the general trend of the future.

Whoever can seize the opportunity will gain an advantage in the next stage.

So he cherished this opportunity very much.

Following the guidance of the royal waiter, he quickly entered the confines of a golden-pink palace.

This palace occupies a large area, with main hall, side halls and gardens.

He lives in the gardener's room in the garden.

According to previous data.

Queen Westlana would come to the garden every morning or two to spend some time alone.

Either staring at the flowers in a daze, or holding some books and reading quietly.

This is a good opportunity for Zongze to get in touch.

With the treasure Aegwynn's Book of All Magic in hand, and being an extremely talented arcane spellcaster, he was very sure that he could quickly attract the queen's attention by using this gimmick.

Of course, this treasure, Wanfa Shu, is sponsored by my brother.

He cannot use it easily, he can only use it at the right time as a trump card for a decisive victory.

Otherwise, it would be easy for the emotional card to fail and instead arouse the covetousness of Queen Westlana.

That would be shooting yourself in the foot.

After making up his mind, he settled in the gardener's room with peace of mind.

I also met several gardeners and gardening craftsmen.

After spending several hundred dinars, I found out more details about the Queen's daily routine.

When he was resting at night, he sent Zong Shen what he had seen and heard throughout the day and waited for his reply.

After seeing my brother’s information advantage.

He doesn't mind hugging his thighs now.

…

Go back to one day ago.

In the morning,

Zong Shen rode Hamis to his destination.

Below is an unremarkable grassland.

The scenery is monotonous and doesn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary.

And there is a lord's territory nearby.

It seems to be developing well, almost the size of a small town.

If it weren't for the golden circle mark that locked the location, Zong Shen wouldn't have thought that there would be a demiplane here.

It shows that the demiplane where the demon's execution chamber is located is very hidden.

Even after a long time, it still fits the space very well.

Unlike the sea of ​​sand between Zong Shen's own territory and Magtan City, the demiplane chiming failure occurred.

That's why they interfere with the situation outside.

But there is no such phenomenon of plane overlap happening here.

This means that the demiplane is firmly embedded.

The energy level of the plane should also be higher.

The area where the key can be activated is large, not just one point.

However, there may be some movement when considering activation.

So Zong Shen planned to communicate with the lord of that territory first.

He is a reasonable man.

So Zong Shen asked Hamis to show his body.

He just flew down unscrupulously and was exposed within the boundaries of his territory.

It only takes a minute or two.

A disheveled young lord walked out of the lord's small courtyard here.

He was wearing a thin white shirt and looked to be in his early twenties at most.

The life of the lord is still relatively extravagant and absurd.

Playing songs every night is nothing unusual.

Most lords are not as voluptuous as Zong Shen.

Daily explorations tend to be more sparsely scheduled, rather than a daily routine.

Enjoyment is real daily life.

The idea of ​​​​drinking now and getting drunk now is regarded by many lords as the standard and the most correct principle of doing things.

Looking at the menacing Khamis.

The defense towers, crossbow shooters, and giant crossbows and other equipment below were all aimed at them.

Zong Shen took a casual glance and found that these defensive measures and defenders were generally below the fourth level.

If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid they won't even be able to break through the defense.

Who are you?

Why are you intruding on my territory?

The lord here is also a Xia nationality.

He hurriedly put on his equipment, bronze light armor and a scimitar.

He also carried a long-armed war crossbow behind him.

Such a lightweight combination of near and far is a mainstream plan among the lords.

Remote attack methods can reduce risks to a certain extent.

Even if you can't beat him, you still have room to escape.

Not all lords are like Zong Shen who can take the reckless route.

After all, being reckless is just an appearance, and there must be strong strength behind it.

Otherwise, it is just empty talk.

I'm Zong Shen.

Regarding his question, Zong Shen only spoke briefly and concisely.

He did not disguise his information and allowed the guy below to observe.

The information fed back to him by the Lord System proved everything.

This suddenly made him a little surprised and a little panicked.

Zong Shen's name was known to everyone among the lords.

He is also a famous murderer among the lords.

He had killed thousands of lords while fighting for the Demon Realm copy!

Therefore, he has a bad reputation.

In addition, Zong Shen received multiple banner announcements and ranking rewards.

This makes him a distant and terrifying existence among all the lords.

Now, this existence really appears in front of you.

This made the young man feel extremely frightened.

He silently put down the scimitar in his hand, nodded and bowed and asked.

You...what's the matter with you?

What dulled his temper was nothing but reality.

Zong Shen said calmly: I want to temporarily expropriate your territory.

After saying this, he added.

I'll give you half an hour.

You take your people and evacuate a hundred kilometers away.

Also shut down the passive defense of the territory.

Come back in eight hours.

This is to compensate you.

After Zong Shen finished speaking, he dropped a small money box and went down.

The small money box was enhanced by the magic power of the wind spirit element and slowly fell to his feet.

Here are half a million dinars.

Zong Shen did not speak in a consultative tone throughout the whole process.

Because there is no need to discuss this matter at all.

As far as he was concerned, the guy had to listen even if he didn't.

If you dare to be naughty, then you will be killed directly.

Communication is about reasoning, and destruction is about tree dignity.

I saw the guy opening the cash box and examining the dinars inside.

After a slight hesitation, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

He collected the dinars and immediately began to gather people to evacuate.

Because he knew he had no choice at all.

If you stay here, you might be beaten to death.

But if he evacuates obediently, the worst result would be that the lord's courtyard is demolished and he becomes a free citizen.

Although most of the lordship's authority will be lost.

But it's better than dying.

The compensation of half a million yuan is considered very considerable for ordinary lords.

If the other party does not destroy his territory.

So today can be considered a bloody profit.

So he quickly made the wisest choice.

For Zong Shen, five hundred thousand is just a drop in the bucket of wealth on hand.

He had endless dinardos to spend.

With a huge city-level wealth in his hands, he didn't want to save money, but wanted to spend more.

Things like dinars can only be converted into concrete value if they are spent.

When left in your hand, it is just a string of numbers.

Zong Shen saw this very clearly.

Of course, he could earn interest on the Lord of Greed's purse.

But the interest earned essentially serves the monetary attribute.

In addition, dinar itself is also a good material, but it is only used for making materials.

That function is too single.

Spend it and use the money-spreading method to your heart’s content is the way to go.

Zong Shen waited calmly.

Not even half an hour, almost ten minutes.

This guy left with his leaders in a grand manner.

When he left, Zong Shen didn't even know what this guy's name was.

Zong didn't care about this either.

After confirming that the guy was gone, Zong Shen left.

Immediately he took out the [Devil's Execution Key (Special)].

After using mental power to communicate, ripples immediately spread out towards the surrounding space.

Under the influence of these ripples, the space also ripples.

A dark portal soon appeared.

Moreover, there is also spatial overlap in the surrounding area of ​​several hundred meters.

There are constant shadows intertwining between the sunny grassland and the dark and damp underground space somewhere.

The portal is not stable after it appears and needs time to brew in order to be completely stable.

Zong Shen silently used the space perception ability of [Fantasy God Flash] to confirm the situation of the portal.

While observing the overlapping shadows.

Demiplanes also have differences in energy levels, and there are many different ways to shape them.

In addition, it is divided into elemental demiplane, regional demiplane and embedded demiplane according to characteristics.

The elemental demiplane is the simplest, and is usually composed of some kind of elemental wonder as the core.

The elements in this demiplane are very single.

Fixed is a certain element system.

The regional demiplane is formed from the regional fragments of certain planes.

The rules are relatively complete, but extremely closed.

The elemental magic power inside is limited because it is not directly related to the outside world.

So when the elemental magic power is exhausted.

It will become a forbidden zone.

As for the chimeric demiplane, it is a connected version of the regional demiplane.

It is embedded in the main space of the outside world and shares a set of rules with the outside world.

But it is also formed from plane fragments.

Of these demiplanes, the chimeric demiplane has the highest energy level.

Judging from the current situation, the demiplane where the devil's execution chamber is located is either regional or chimeric.

After waiting for several minutes, the portal was completely stable.

Zong Shen took out [Dimension Seed (Special)] and summoned everyone.

Feronas Sinner looked at the portal with interest.

After the portal was stabilized, the scene in the distance no longer changed, but stabilized.

It still looks like a grassland.

After looking at each other for a while, Feronas and Zong Shen made eye contact.

After receiving the instruction, he stepped into it.

After a while, he came out again.

There was a hint of excitement in his expression.

He nodded gently to Zong Shen.

Seeing this, Mr. Zong led the girls through the portal.

With the [Devil's Execution Key (Special)] put away.

The portal to the outside world is also closed. (End of chapter)
