Chapter 1029 Elephants and Ants 【Subscription】
The dead are dead, and the living will strive for self-improvement.
Zong Shen has difficulty grasping the past, so he can only embrace the future.
He will never allow the tragedies of the last era's end to repeat itself.
Only by mastering enough power can you protect your lover, relatives, and subordinates.
After sighing in his heart, he put away the [Skull of the Hungry Dead (Yaoguang Level I)] properly.
At present, the only remaining exploration gains related to the ruins of the Shadow Poison Assassin League branch are the recruitment volumes that have not yet been checked.
Zoe and his team found a total of 259 recruitment rolls in the ruins, all of which were scouts and assassin fighters from the Shadow Poison Assassin League.
Zong Shen has rich experience. First, he collected all the recruitment rolls into the storage compartments, and then counted them by virtue of the automatic classification and storage features of the storage compartments.
Soon he knew the recruitment papers he got this time like the back of his hand.
It has to be said that the Shadow Poison Assassin League still has some background.
Although it is not comparable to the several major ethnic groups in the previous era, it is also a major force with branches all over the cities of the endless continent.
Especially in terms of intelligence, the Shadow Poison Assassin League seems to have a special channel.
The sensitivity and collection ability for intelligence are top-notch.
This can be seen from the ciphertext parchment scroll.
Therefore, the lower limit of the rank of this batch of recruitment papers is extremely high, and there is no first-rank unit at all.
The starting point is the second-level scout/assassin, and it goes up to the sixth level.
In this way, high-level scouts can be recruited to meet the talent vacancies of the adventure team.
However, high-level units are often more unruly, and Zong Shen has to lead them for a few days first, train them, and wait until their loyalty has improved before they are dispatched to the adventure team.
After a quick classification, the recruitment papers of the Shadow Poison Assassin League from the second to the sixth level are as follows:
[Tier 2 Shadow Assassin Recruitment Volume × 66]
[Tier 2 Serpent Blade Recruitment Volume × 51]
[Tier 3 Hidden Sentinel Recruitment Volume × 31]
[Third-order Poisoned Stalker Recruitment Volume × 29]
[Level 4 Shadow Walker Recruitment Volume × 19]
[Fourth Tier Conspiracy Hibernator Recruitment Volume × 22]
【Fourth Tier Two-Tailed Scorpion Blade Recruitment Volume × 12】
[Fifth-order shadow puppet operator recruitment volume × 19]
[Sixth Order Black Demon Eye Recruitment Volume × 6]
[Sixth-order Fallen Shadow Watcher Recruitment Volume × 4]
...
The arms in these recruitment rolls basically cover the main forces of all levels in the Shadow Poison Assassin League.
With the addition of these scout/assassin units, the territory will soon be able to form more than a dozen complete scout teams.
It is difficult for scouts to become the main force on the battlefield, but they are an indispensable part of a large army.
A scout team with complete levels can satisfy the investigation and pursuit of the brigade level.
After all, scouts only need to complete enemy reconnaissance, environmental measurement, trap detection and some anti-reconnaissance tasks.
In the past, these things were all handled by Zong Shen to the strategy module.
But as the territory grew larger and larger, he could no longer take every action into account.
So in his absence, high-level scouts are still needed to assist in starting the operation.
Scouts and Assassins belong to two branches under one main line.
Both of them have the stealth, detection and killing capabilities that meet the corresponding level.
It's just that scouts focus on detection, while assassins are good at burst attacks.
The specific differences are reflected in their respective skill systems.
Zong Shen thought about it, and decided to recruit some high-level scout/assassin units to cultivate feelings.
With Colby and himself in charge, even the fifth and sixth rank scouts can't turn the sky around.
As for those scout/assassin units of Tier 4 and below, we can talk about it later, anyway, the loyalty of these units is easier to cultivate, so don’t worry too much about accidents.
He is going to promote and strengthen a wave of iron pillars again, and he will be responsible for leading the scout troops.
Tie Zhu's talent is not high, but his loyalty is beyond doubt.
As the best among the initial three "silly farmers", his loyalty is almost on par with San Pang, but his talent and diligence are not as good as San Pang's.
San Pang is a hero-level talent who has been promoted on his own, and he is also the "roll king" in the territory.
At the beginning of the cold winter challenge, that guy still insisted on going to the training ground to complete four hours of training, which made his level surpass some fighters, and he could be regarded as a "legendary" figure.
As for Tie Zhu, Zongshen had already sent him to Dinan Village to prepare for receiving the village.
When the cold winter came, he also sent several carriages of supplies to the territory, and Tie Zhu was also able to take over Dinan Village smoothly now.
You must know that Zong Shen basically didn't devote all his energy to Dinan Village, and left it to Tie Zhu to deal with it.
With perfect loyalty and being an "old man" in the territory, Zong Shen is naturally willing to promote him.
Letting Tie Zhu lead the scout troop is at least more reliable than using newly recruited guys.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to recruit on the spot.
Use the method of "bringing the old with the new" to first increase the loyalty of high-level scouts/assassins.
Then let these high-level scouts with sufficient loyalty assist Tie Zhu to lead the newly recruited low-level scouts.
In this way, a top-down loyalty dominance system is formed.
After all, Zong Shen couldn't personally cultivate the loyalty of every fighter, so he could only give priority to leading a group of high-level fighters.
This is already the most efficient way.
"Okay, you all go back to the territory to rest."
"The portal enclosure is here, and I will personally be responsible for the follow-up."
"In addition, let Howie go to the [Tower of Warrior Souls (Purple)] to awaken the souls of the war dead on a voluntary basis."
Zong Shen ordered loudly.
There is no such thing as reincarnation in the Endless Continent, and the soul is a unique existence.
However, after death, under certain conditions, it can also be transformed into a ghost, a resentful soul, or a purely neutral soul.
After the soul body erases consciousness, it becomes the white soul.
And the soul transformed by [Tower of Warrior Heroic Soul (Purple)] can maintain the will of the individual soul.
Being able to maintain self-awareness without becoming a puppet of resentment, for those soldiers who passed away, it might not be a bad thing to transform into souls.
The transformation process is not one-way. If the soul's will itself is unwilling to recover, it can also choose to dissipate.
After becoming a soul, these fighters still have the opportunity to fight for the territory. As long as the [Tower of Heroic Soul] is not destroyed, his soul will not be damaged and disappear.
Zoe and Colby hurriedly stood up and saluted after hearing the words, then slowly retreated and left the temporary city hall where the enclosure was located.
Zong Shen was the only one left in the temporary city hall.
He closed his eyes, but he could still hear the loud noises from the outside world keenly.
The crawlers of the magic engineering machinery run over the ground, the panting of the farmers when carrying them, the shouts of domestic heroes...
All kinds of sounds were captured by him, and the ideas in his mind automatically created a highly accurate restoration picture based on these sound information.
This ability was suddenly mastered when his intelligence attribute broke through the thousand-point mark.
Each of the four major attributes represents a number of physical characteristics, and together they cover the entire physical quality.
Therefore, the improvement of attributes also brings about the improvement of physical fitness.
It's just that this improvement is subtle and not abrupt, so there is no need for Zong Shen to adapt additionally.
Moreover, as the base of the attribute value is constantly refreshed, attributes with only ones and tens digits become mediocre.
After letting go of his thoughts for a while, Zong Shen suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes, which had been dimmed due to mental exhaustion, also recovered some of their spirits.
"Then next, it's time to recruit some new guys."
He whispered to himself, and then with a big wave of his hand, he took out [Recruitment Scroll for Fifth-Rank Shadow Puppet Manipulator × 19], [Recruitment Scroll for Tier-6 Black Demon Eye × 6], [Recruitment Scroll for Tier-6 Falling Shadow Watcher × 4].
Holding the recruitment paper, Zong Shen instantly disappeared in place, and the next moment he appeared in an open space several kilometers outside the portal enclosure.
Because the portal enclosure has special influence among the lords.
Even though he started killing and spreading notoriety not long ago, there are still a steady stream of lords coming.
It's just that these lords didn't dare to approach rashly, they only dared to linger outside the enclosure and watch.
They didn't even dare to gather on a large scale. At most, a dozen lords and their soldiers gathered together to set up a camp.
Because of the [regional legion], many lords like to act in groups.
[Legion] has a certain degree of restraint, and is not as easy to be betrayed as it was when the original "wild team" was formed.
There are also a few scattered groups of lords near Zongshen.
They didn't dare to approach, nor were they willing to just leave like this.
When the blue light flashing in the space appeared, many people discovered the situation here.
The image of Zong Shen in red armor has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Needless to say, the nearby lords know who is coming!
Zong who suddenly appeared here made these guys startled.
Some of the lords with poor psychological qualities even subconsciously turned their heads and wanted to run away, but they were quickly pulled back by their companions.
They didn't cross the line and complied with the rules, presumably Zong Shen had no reason to attack them.
But if you turn around and leave, it will appear that you have a ghost in your heart.
A few lords who were a little more clever still wanted to take the initiative to say hello to Zong Shen.
The lord group is full of strange things, and it is not surprising what happens.
Zong Shen himself didn't have so many dramas in his mind, he looked around and waved at those lords.
"Just to do something small, don't worry about me"
As soon as these words came out, the lords who wanted to talk to them stopped immediately.
Those words clearly meant "do not disturb".
Zong Shen had nothing to hold back, and at the same time activated the recruitment roll in his hand.
One by one, the recruitment rolls turned into clusters of space singularities and flew towards the open space not far away.
The transfer of the portal was too crowded, not to mention the farmers who temporarily supported the construction, the compensation for the soldiers provided by the more than 3,000 captives added up to tens of thousands.
Those fighters are still forming according to the type of arms, gradually moving to the main territory.
So Zong Shen simply used [Wandering Wandering] to go outside the portal enclosure.
With his current power, no lord would dare to jump in front of him.
And he doesn't need to shy away from the recruitment process.
Compared to the terrifying strength he displayed, summoning some fifth- and sixth-tier fighters is not a big deal.
A total of twenty-nine light cocoons are condensing, and they echo the spatial singularity, which proves that the recruitment roll is also a kind of recruitment from another dimension, but the recruited fighters are in a state of static time.
The time required for recruitment is determined by the fighter's rank.
The higher the rank of the unit, the longer it takes to recruit
It only takes a few minutes for Tier 3 and Tier 4 units to complete the recruitment process, but for Tier 5 and Tier 6 units, it usually takes ten to fifteen minutes to wait.
So after activating the recruitment roll, Zong Shen looked at the lords around him in boredom.
Using the strategy module to gain insight into their origins can be considered as a way to pass the time.
Seeing Zong Shen sweeping his eyes unscrupulously, these guys panicked and lowered their heads or showed awkward but polite smiles to meet his gaze.
The strength gap between the two sides is too great, as if they are in two different worlds.
Can't understand each other.
It was already difficult for Zong Shen to be substituting for the thoughts of these ordinary lords.
And they can't experience the world of the strong.
This generation gap is bottomless.
By observing these lords, Zong Shen discovered that most of them came from areas within the range of three to four hundred kilometers to one thousand five hundred kilometers from here.
It took at least a day's trek to get here.
Only with such a large area can such a large number of lords visit intensively.
The lords came and went, and came and went, one batch after another without end.
As for those lords who are closer to here, they found out the reality early on, because the "old nest" is nearby, so they dare not take too many risks, unlike foreign lords who are so courageous.
For the rest of the waiting time, Zong Shen twisted his arms and stomped his feet on the spot.
I am still idle and bored, using the nearby big rocks as targets, practicing boxing skills.
In the case of no equipment, a simple straight punch can burst out with amazing power.
The huge rock cracked and exploded under his hammer.
The splashed gravel fell tens of meters away, and the site was like a construction site.
Zong Shen's fist was like a jackhammer, smashing a whole boulder to pieces in a short while.
"Ten boring minutes."
He turned around uninterestedly, blew on the stone dust stained on his fists respectively, and stared blankly at the light cocoons that were still brewing.
I just did it casually to pass the time.
But the surrounding lords were astonished.
Even if everyone's attributes and strength have improved significantly during this period, they still can't break the boulder with their fists like Zong Shen.
However, in Zong Shen's eyes, there was nothing unusual about the behavior just now.
To use an inappropriate but very appropriate metaphor, suddenly an ant in the ant heap possessed the power of an elephant, which surprised other little ants.
The shock in other hearts is like this.
Obviously everyone is human, but Zong Shen's strength is beyond what they can imagine.
This kind of gap is too big, which always catches people off guard.
Even if everyone knows the power system of the Endless Continent in their hearts, they will still be shocked after seeing the gap with their own eyes. After all, the big guys came at the same time.
If it weren't for the insurmountable rules of the lord system, these guys even wondered if Zong Shen had come a few years in advance!
