Chapter 237 When the Expansion Is in Progress, the Strange Bird Strikes (Four Thousand that Day)

With Zong Shen's current strength, except for the commander-level monsters around him, he can ignore the rest.

Of course, if there are really commander-level monsters attracted by the expansion of the territory, then Zong Shen would be more willing. After all, each commander-level monster means a lot of rewards.

Moreover, the nests or ruins occupied by the commander-level monsters often have treasure chests or other harvests.

The third-level territorial expansion is still not difficult for Zong Shen.

This wave of offensive consisted of some grassland porcupines and more than a dozen horse bandits. When he found out that the target was the horse bandits, Zong Shen decisively used the lord's authority to shut down all the defense towers, and also stopped the ancient guardians from attacking. .

Those horse bandits were all riding grassland horses of different colors, holding a machete in their hands, and galloping on their horses, they came from the west side of the territory, and Zong Shen took the initiative to greet them.

He himself led troops to deal with these horse bandits.

Just kidding, these guys are all here to send horses. If the arrow tower and the ancient guardians are dealt with, it will be a broken end.

"We only deal with the bandits, don't hurt the horse!"

Zong Shen explained that the level of these horse bandits is not high. The leader is a captain-level horse bandit, whose level is similar to that of the fierce bandit Carlisle. He should be cruising around the territory, and then he was attracted by the expansion of the territory.

These horse bandits looked fierce, with wine sacks hanging from their waists, either a scarred face or a beard, a rosy face, and a ruddy face that seemed to never lack the nourishment of wine and meat.

The dragon-like spear and shield warriors put up their shields and stabbed their spears diagonally in front of them. The wolf cavalry and Luna had already started to wander around with the mobility of their mounts, and were sandwiched between the two wings.

The mages began to sing magic, and Vereesa also raised her longbow, her eyes narrowed to lock on the target, and then she quickly drew an arrow and pulled the bow to shoot arrows in one go.

A sharp arrow flew out and hit a horse bandit's eye with precision. The arrow was so powerful that it sank halfway in, almost penetrating the back of the horse bandit's head.

This blow was definitely a fatal injury. A huge amount of damage emerged from the top of the horse bandit's head. The next moment he fell off the horse and was trampled by other horses rushing past behind him.

That piece of grass was immediately dyed red with blood, and after the novice stage ended, the battle became much more cruel and bloody than before.

Zong Shen directly took out the calamity war spear and used it as a long stick.

The remaining horse bandits were targeted by arrows and magic, and they were all killed before they could reach the city gate.

The grassland porcupines attracted from the other side were also intercepted by the second team of wolf riders. Those grassland porcupines could shoot backstabs by squeezing their muscles, which could be regarded as a long-range attack type of beasts.

Each porcupine was about the size of a wolfhound and covered in spikes.

If you see a porcupine with bald skin on the grassland, don't be surprised, it must be that this guy has shot his backstab, and the meat of the porcupine is very tender and has a unique flavor.

Zong Shen had eaten roasted arrow pork once before, which was much more delicious than roasted wolf meat. The meat was locked in the gravy and had no taint. It was one of the better-tasting prairie beasts.

This territorial expansion task is not so much a challenge as it is a benefit to Zong Shen.

The horse bandits were all wiped out, and the porcupines were also eliminated. Zong Shen asked the wolf cavalry to keep the horse bandits' weapons and valuables behind, and the bodies were dragged away and buried several kilometers away from the territory. place.

Sixteen grassland horses were left behind, all of which were brought back to the territory by Zong Shen, just to further increase the territory's mount reserve.

As for the porcupines, they are all brought back to the territory, and the delicious porcupine pork is cut by cramping and peeling. You can eat a meal tonight to subsidize the food consumption of the territory.

More than 200 kobolds, 70 or 80 warriors, and 50 or 60 farmers consume a large amount of food every day. This is why Zong Shen is committed to reform. There is no future for the big pot rice system alone.

Everyone who eats a big pot of rice needs to work according to the instructions, in fact, there is no enthusiasm for production at all.

After solving this wave of enemies, Zong Shen returned to the gate of the small courtyard, ready to start the next level of territorial expansion.

[Territory: Level 3]

[City Lord's Mansion: Level 2]

[Current expandable range: a radius of 4,000 meters, the expansion can be successful after completing the land expansion task]

【Click to start expansion】

Level 4 territory expansion mission will attract 30 random enemies within a radius of 20 kilometers.

You must know that the famous Chen Rui still maintains a level 4 territory.

Maybe that guy has some adventures, and it is not ruled out that he is also "card-level", but once Zong Shen moves his true character, he is really worth it, and he is bound to win this first place.

Resolutely reopen the defense tower and let the ancient guardians resume their attacks. Zong Shen clicks again to start the expansion. Once expanded to level 4, his territory will expand into a circular area with a diameter of 8 kilometers, covering about 50.4 square meters. km of territory.

This territory is basically enough for ordinary lords, but Zong Shen is still not satisfied, at least he has to go up two or three levels.

The larger the territory expansion, the larger the recruitment scope of the legion. At that time, you can pick and choose, and filter the members, so you don't have to run around for a member like Medina.

Either we don't do it, we have to make it a high-quality product, form the most powerful regional army, and establish the status of regional hegemony. This is Zong Shen's small goal.

The fourth-level expansion mission began, and after a few minutes of waiting, the enemy began to arrive one after another.

This time it was a pack of prairie wolves plus a few goblin scouts, and other beast-like monsters.

This is not to challenge Zong Shen, this is completely to deliver food, and to make a special trip to subsidize the food in the territory.

But those goblins are rare. Zong Shen hasn't seen them for a long time since he saw two teams of goblins and spider web monsters fighting in the mine.

These attracted goblins were all lightly dressed scouts, and they wandered around, inquiring about news and finding targets for the tribe.

Who knew that today's luck was not good, and he was attracted by Zong Shen's expansion mission. As soon as he entered the vicinity of the territory, he was strangled by those wolf-like warriors.

In the other direction, more than 20 prairie wolves ran wildly. Just approaching within a kilometer of the territory, they were severely hit by the ancient guardian. The solid fruit the size of the washbasin directly accelerated through the parabolic curve and smashed into the wolf. body.

The arrow tower also began to exert force, and a sharp arrow was shot stably and accurately, if the knitting drizzle was spread on those prairie wolves.

The few prairie wolves at the head were directly tied into hedgehogs, but the prairie wolves were very tenacious, and their armor value was not low.

However, no matter how vicious and tenacious these prairie wolves were, it would be difficult for them to break through the blockade of the Arrow Tower and the ancient guardians. When a team of soldiers rushed over, these prairie wolves were completely wiped out.

In less than an hour, Zong Shen felt like his territory had been upgraded from level 1 to level 4. After accumulating strength for so long, it was easy to start leveling up now.

The current Zong Shen's territorial level ranking has been directly promoted to the fourth place. Like Chen Rui, he is a 4th-level territory. After a few days of silence, Chen Rui is gradually being caught up.

However, Zong Shen reckoned that the guy had spare power, but he just paused for a while. In the future, that guy is likely to be his rival for the top ranking list.

Zong Shen can't be bothered to worry about these things. In the final analysis, the core factor in competing for the rankings depends on the strength of himself and his territory.

Those coyotes were wiped out quickly. What followed was a hint of a successful expansion.

Zong Shen still asked his soldiers to drag the wolf corpse back, while the goblin scouts ripped off the equipment and buried it on the spot a little farther from the territory. This humanoid creature can only contribute some equipment and experience, and it is covered in green. It can't be eaten, and the most important thing is that the human form is too responsive.

The coyotes and porcupines are more affordable. The beasts that were dragged back by the soldiers were called by Mariel to the farmer to fetch clean water and knives to open their stomachs, cut them into fine meat about the thickness of the forearms, and hand them over to San Fat to unify them. deal with.

If nothing else, the meat of these beasts will be on the table in the territory tonight.

Standing on the spot, Zong Shen couldn't keep his boring eyelids open, and yawned slowly.

Compared with his combat experience, the difficulty of this territory expansion mission is nothing to him.

Not to mention that he can still avoid some risks in advance by asking the Raiders.

Seeing that the expansion of the territory was completed, Zong Shen naturally did not delay much, and opened the [territory] interface again to prepare for the next-level expansion task.

[Territory: Level 4]

[City Lord's Mansion: Level 2]

[Current expandable range: a radius of 5,000 meters, the expansion can be successful after completing the land expansion task]

【Click to start expansion】

As long as you reach the fifth level, you can become the first in the current leaderboard.

"Hopefully this time some more powerful monsters will come."

"Otherwise it would be too boring."

Zong Shenbai said boredly.

It's not that he is inflated, it is indeed that this expansion task is not exciting enough for him, it is not difficult, and lacks passion, which makes Zong Shen, who is used to fierce battles, a little sleepy.

Level 5 expansion missions will attract 40 random hostile targets within a 25km radius.

Each time the hostile range increases by 5 kilometers, the hostile target increases by 10.

But all hostile targets are randomly drawn from the range, and no matter where, the number of ordinary monsters will always be much greater than the number of powerful monsters.

Therefore, the possibility of drawing ordinary monsters is the greatest, but if there are few hostile targets left in the range, then it is very likely to select those powerful monsters dormant in the range.

When others expand their territories, they wish that the weaker the monsters, the better, but Zong Shen wants to attract some powerful monsters.

After Zong Shen clicked, the expansion of the fifth-level territory officially began.

Across the distance, Zongshen heard the galloping sound of "Rumbling". This time, a large group of prairie bulls, more than 30 of them, seemed to be full of strength. The cows have entered a state of charging and trampling. Once they gather in groups to charge, those wolf cavalry soldiers are really unable to start. Fortunately, long-range attacks and arrow tower attacks are still easy to use.

The wolf cavalry can only walk around, like a scraper, constantly harassing the charging cattle.

Back then, Zong Shen had also dealt with many prairie bulls when the beasts were boiling at night.

These guys are the herds of bison on the grasslands. They are irascible and aggressive, especially when they charge, they are extremely fierce.

But in the final analysis, these guys are only here to deliver food. If there are so many prairie savages, if they all take meat, I am afraid they can eat for half a month, and save a fortune on food.

Zong Shen still didn't make a move. These cattle were just for the soldiers to practice their skills, and by the way, test the defense capabilities of the territory, and see where these grassland wild cattle can rush to in this situation.

Just as Zong Shen was eating melons and watching a play, a shadow passed over the territory at high speed, constantly circling in the sky.

Zong Shen looked up and saw a huge black bird hovering over the territory.

At this time, the arrow towers in the territory automatically changed their targets, locked on the strange birds in the sky, and began to shoot, as did the ancient guardians, and the solid fruits the size of the basins were constantly thrown out.

The strange bird began to perform a difficult aerial maneuver, avoiding a lot of arrows, but it still refused to leave, and refused to lift up.

When it was maneuvering, Zong Shen saw a set of saddles on the bird's back, and it seemed that someone was riding on the bird's back. Because the strange bird's movements were too fast, and due to the angle of view, Zong Shen could not see clearly.

The strange bird always hovered about 100 meters above the territory, avoiding wave after wave of attacks.

A lot of arrows have been inserted into the body, and the long feathers and bright red blood of the slap are like raindrops. The place froze, white frost marks all around.

"Chirp!!"

The strange bird let out a long cry, and even started to dive down, and a white cold air was exhaled from its mouth.

This time Zong Shenke could see clearly that there was indeed a person on the bird's back.

The man wore a leather cap and a set of light armour with the raven emblem inscribed on it.

Apparently this guy is also a member of the Church of Calamity Ravens

There is also a round messenger bucket on his waist, which looks like a scout rather than a soldier.

Looking at the surprised expression on the strange bird knight, Zong Shen had already guessed what was going on.
