Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing From a Rundown Yard

Chapter 477 Surveillance and Anti-Surveillance, Assembly and Maintenance【Seeking Monthly Pass】【5K】

He slowly got up, came to the door, pushed open the door of the lord's small building, and saw that the sun was shining outside, and the temperature began to rise significantly.

The solid ice on the ground and the snow in the corners began to melt like ice cream.

According to the announcement of the end of the Winter Challenge, the problems left by these challenge periods will gradually disappear within two hours.

He tentatively took a step forward and found that the properties of those ice layers had changed. They were not cold or slippery at all, but were melting at a constant speed.

Now Zong Shen can choose to exchange points or go out safely.

The redemption of points will last for 24 hours, and he now has sufficient resources and items on hand.

The need for point redemption is not as urgent as other lords.

So he decided to go to the north of the territory to join Luna and the others.

Then go to the living area and explain some of Mariel's adjusted development work.

By the way, he will call for the manpower, he wants to go north, into the mountain!

After making up his mind, Zong Shen turned to the two sisters Madeleine and Mapel who were standing behind him and instructed.

"You go to the living quarters now, Mariel should be there."

"Bring this flag to her and tell her to hoist it as soon as possible."

"Just hang it close to the east."

Zong Shen took two steps back, and while speaking, he took out the [Bosbon's Magical Flag (Purple)] from the storage compartment and handed it to Madeleine.

Madeline carried the [Scorpion Horn Bow] behind her back, held the rolled up flag in both hands, and nodded solemnly.

"I understand my lord, my sister and I will head to the living quarters."

Madeleine responded first, and then Mapel stepped forward and placed her hand on the flag.

"We will convey your message word for word and hand this flag into the hands of Lady Mariel."

Zong Shen nodded calmly. From here to the living area, it would take about twenty minutes to reach the two sisters' walking speed. If they ran at full speed, they could save a few minutes.

But that's ok, it's not too much of a hurry.

The magic flag of Bosbon was hoisted mainly to prepare for the arrival of refugees from Bosbon.

Based on the time previously mentioned by Baron Bezos, these refugees should arrive in the territory between this evening and tomorrow morning.

The escorts will be Bezos' henchmen, and flying the flag in advance will help avoid misunderstandings.

The two sisters bowed to retreat, shuttled past Zong Shen, and moved quickly towards the southeast of the territory.

Zong Shen watched the two sisters leave, then turned around and walked to the gate of the lord's small building.

"Rise Ulysses."

"Take me to the north side of the territory if you can catch my breath, about 4 to 5 kilometers away."

He leaned against the door and shouted in a slightly low voice.

"Yes, my lord."

The dry, hoarse voice of the aging Reis came from the hall.

With the bluish-gray light shining, a withered vine-like arm rested on Zong Shen's forearm.

The next moment the space changed, like watching flowers on a horse, they appeared five kilometers north of the territory.

Zong Shen raised his eyes to look left and right, and judged the position through the defense matrix in the territory.

The defense arrow towers in the matrix are all ten meters or even twenty or thirty meters high. These defense matrices distributed in the territory basically become the coordinate buildings for judging the location.

In addition to those epic buildings and incomplete wonders up to 100 meters high.

"Go on, go northeast there,"

Zong Shen swept around, knowing that he had already seen the current position of Luna and the others through the naked eye.

The old lady Ruisi was also unambiguous. After squinting her eyes to determine the spatial orientation, the next flash went straight to her destination.

When Zong Shen and the others arrived, more than 20 warriors had gathered here, plus Veresa, Luna, and Doris were also present.

The ice near here has been cut out several gaps in advance by them.

The gaps are scattered, messily distributed within a kilometer.

Luna and the others were in the middle of the gap's distribution area.

"Sir, you are here."

"My lord, we have removed all the eyes of the poisonous snake."

"Those eyes of venomous snakes are covered by ice for us, so we need to break the ice before we can break them."

Luna, Vereesa, and Doris bowed almost at the same time, and you reported the situation word by word.

Such surveillance witchcraft can be broken by magic skills.

Therefore, they are basically all mages transferred, and the large army is still in the living area.

With a faint smile on his face, Zong Shen glanced at each of the three women before turning his gaze to the north, while asking about the strategy module in his heart.

"Is there any Serpent's Eye near the territory?"

"Did the goblins send a team to hibernate nearby?"

Zong Shen's expedition is imminent, and now it is necessary to effectively counteract the surveillance set up by the goblins.

Otherwise, he would not be able to lead the team north into the mountains to find the griffin's nest with peace of mind.

(The west side of the territory is 6.9 kilometers away from your current location, and there is a venomous snake's eye 6.73 kilometers away, and there is also a venomous snake's eye 12.6 kilometers away from your current location in the southwest side of the territory.

There was originally a goblin hero leading two teams of goblin scouts wandering nearby, but they were recalled by the goblin king after the Serpent's Eye was destroyed here)

Zong Shen looked at Vereesa after reading the guide.

"You all go to the living area and wait for me, and drive the weight-bearer mecha over, it will be faster."

"Vereesa, you stay."

He quickly ordered, and at the same time named Vereesa to stay.

Although everyone was a little confused, they still obeyed.

Doris took out the weight-bearer mecha and began to recall the scattered warriors. Luna rode the sentry panther and looked at Zong Shen with a smile.

Rhys Ulysses also consciously ran to the back of the cargo hold of the weight-bearer mecha in a flash.

Vereesa was holding the string of the war bow with her hand, and she looked indifferent and didn't know what she was thinking.

Only then did Zong Shen speak.

"Vereesa, you use the [Summon Horned Eagle] skill of the war bow. Let's sit on the Horned Eagle and destroy the remaining Serpent Eye."

"There are still several snake eyes in the west and southwest of the territory, and they must be destroyed."

"The speed of riding a horned eagle is faster, and it does not need to consume magic points like flashing."

"After dealing with these viper eyes, let's go directly to the living area."

What he said was the truth. Hippogryphs are indeed a good short-distance air ride, which is more cost-effective than flash.

In addition to being a violent warrior, Zong Shen is also a Thunder Mage.

The durability of those snake eyes is not high, and it can be easily destroyed with lightning arrows.

Therefore, it is indeed the most suitable choice for Vereesa to summon the Horned Eagle to set out with him.

Hearing Zong Shen's words, Vereesa shrugged lightly and turned the bow to her body.

"I understand my lord"

"I will call the Horned Eagle."

She took a few steps back, making sure there was enough space in front of her to accommodate the Hippogryph.

After all, the horned eagle is also an air-riding beast as famous as the griffin and the dragon eagle.

It can accommodate two people and is the most common aerial beast in the elves.

After activating the summoning skill, a temporary spatial singularity suddenly appeared, and the huge eagle eagle jumped out with its indigo blue wings.

When the wings are spread out, there is a feeling of covering the sky and the sun. The strong muscles under the wings are agitating, allowing the wings to flap slowly, floating two or three meters above the ground, stabilizing his body.

The gust of wind blowing out of the wings blows towards the face, making people truly appreciate its power.

The Hippogryph summoned by the warbow can only exist for 20 minutes, so you need to pay attention to its existence time.

After the Hippogryph stabilized, Vereesa jumped up and grabbed its front paws.

Taking this as a support point, the waist is soft upward, and it clings to the hippogryph's back, reaching out and stroking its neck covered with hard scales and feathers, beckoning to Zong Shen.

"Sir, come up quickly."

Seeing this, Zong Shen also took two steps to run, and his legs slammed up. After the winter was over, the slightly melting ice layer was stepped out by two footprints.

His jumping ability is extremely powerful, and he even jumped onto the back of the Eagle Eagle, which was more than three meters above the ground, without relaying, and rode it steadily.

Zong Shen stretched out his hands and gently placed them on Veresana's slender waist.

The close contact between the two made Vereesa's body tremble slightly, but it quickly returned to normal.

This is the second time she and Zong Shen have been flying together. The awkward relationship, the close contact and the effect of full loyalty have made Vereesa's heart beat faster.

Such reactions come from the body and instinct, and she cannot control it.

After feeling that Zong Shen was sitting firmly behind him, Veresa stretched out her left hand and patted the Horned Eagle's neck, signaling it to take off and fly towards the west.

"Wow!"

Accompanied by a loud cry, the Horned Eagle War Beast flapped its wings and flew.

...

At this time, in the mountains and forests in the northern part of the territory, among the goblin tribes near the remains of the ancient coalition's garrison.

The Goblin King is sitting cross-legged in the domed straw hut in the tribe. In front of it, several goblin shamans wearing feather crowns are waving short staffs and totems to cast spells.

These shamans projected the images monitored by the Serpent's Eye in front of the Goblin King.

In the past 20 minutes or so, the eyes of the poisonous snakes they arranged around the target were destroyed one by one.

At this time, the Goblin King's expression was very solemn, and its yellow-brown eyes were like cold-blooded poisonous snakes, bursting out with more vicious light than ordinary goblin blood-colored eyes.

In the projection returned by the eye of the viper, Vereesa and the others were floating in the air.

And it's still a weird floating step, not a magic with floating effect like levitation and lightening.

When the Goblin King saw Vereesa, Luna, Doris, and those dignified and beautiful female mages, he couldn't help but feel a desire for aggression.

Its eyes opened wider and wider, and sputum flowed from the corners of its mouth.

It wasn't until most of the snake's eyes were broken and the projection disappeared that the lust on its face subsided a little.

Goblins are goblins after all.

Chaos, debauchery, evil, and disorder are their nature.

Even a tribal leader with good wisdom like the Goblin King is not immune to the commonplace.

Vereesa and the others have excellent looks and bodies, and they have a fatal attraction to the Goblin King.

It's sane, but also full of desire.

It's not even like those ordinary goblins who hold beasts with low intelligence, and they can vent out of a hole.

But such beautiful human and humanoid races have a fatal attraction to it.

It can make the reproduction instinct in its blood just around the corner.

Now, Zong Shen's territory became more and more attractive to it.

In order to avoid direct contact as much as possible, after the first Viper Eye was exposed, it made the shaman send out a witchcraft message, recalling the leading goblin hero and two teams of goblin scouts.

The opponent's territory is there, as long as they are staring at them, they can't run away.

When the Goblin King returned to his senses, there were only three projection screens left, and they were all scattered snake eyes in other directions.

However, the three eyes of the viper did not survive for long. It watched helplessly as two people rode the eagle war beast and destroyed all the remaining eyes of the viper.

Zong Shen, who was fully armed, held a thick spell book and fired a lightning arrow to break the last Serpent's Eye, which was the last scene the Goblin King saw.

All the projections were shattered, and none of them could remain hidden.

The response ability of the other party exceeded its expectations, whether it was from the known situation or its experience was conveying a message to it.

That is, these humans are not easy to mess with!

The shamans in the igloo let out heavy gasps.

This is the center of the goblin tribe and the usual residence of the goblin king.

Goblins can't talk about architecture and beauty, and the furnishings in the house can be described as poor and white.

There was a campfire in the house made of round rocks, all of which were blackened by the charcoal fire.

There are also some half-burned wood and some black-grey bones.

Aside from the campfire, there are only some rough wooden tables and chairs.

There is also a simple bed made of various animal skins.

Some dry grass is laid on the ground to block the condensation of water dew in the morning and evening in the mountains, and try to keep the dome as dry as possible.

To sum it up in two words, original!

"Let Broken Throat come to me..."

After a moment of silence, the Goblin King spoke in the Goblin Tribal language.

Its mood is no longer calm, and its voice is dull like a roar of a beast.

After it issued the order, the goblin shamans on the side got up one after another and left the dome.

...

Zong Shen and Vereesa quickly destroyed the remaining three Serpent Eyes.

By the way, he rode the Hippogryph to patrol the sky above the territory.

It was confirmed that the eight groups of defense matrices around the territory were functioning normally.

Now a [Tier 4 Detection Tower] has been built on the north side of the territory. This is a complete building placed by Mariel after being notified by Zong Shen.

With the presence of this detection tower, the northern part of the territory will have a more rigorous defense capability.

As for other directions, it can only be handed over to those third- and fourth-order [Magic Energy Inspection Dogs].

These magical mechanical dogs with detection magic will make up for the gaps in stealth detection in other directions of the territory by means of dynamic inspection.

The weather was a complete mess, and the frigid low temperatures were gone.

Only the ice layer on the ground is still noticeable, but it has also melted and disappeared during this time.

When Veresa controlled the Horned Eagle War Beast and brought Zong Shen to the living area, everyone had already left the houses and stone houses.

Because of the two snow removals and the role of the windshield in the wind and snow, the thickness of the ice layer in the living area is thinner than that in other places.

The corresponding ablation speed is also faster.

The horned eagle descended from the sky with a chirping sound, and its huge wings whipped up the wind, blowing the hairs of the soldiers who were on standby.

Winter is over, and the ice below our feet no longer has the cold, slick nature of it.

Zong Shen agilely jumped from the hippogryph's back to the front of the soldiers.

All fighters had taken off their winter jackets, rabbit fur boots, and shin guards.

These cold protection items have been uniformly stored by Mariel.

Standing on the spot, Zong Shen stretched out his hand to take off his charging cloak and bearskin coat, and then took off his galoshes and shin guards. He suddenly felt a lot lighter.

He twisted his neck, moved his muscles and bones in place, and when he finished stretching, Vereesa had returned to the team.

This is the first time the warriors have assembled after the Winter Challenge.

Including those masters who have been in the [Magic Palace] for a long time, they are all here

Zong Shen stood up straight and pulled the visor of the Silver Knight's helmet to the top of his forehead, revealing his face.

His eyes swept over everyone, and there was a certain momentum when one or two hundred soldiers formed a queue.

Finally, his gaze stopped in front of Howie, took out the [Hike Merchant Badge] in front of everyone, and waved to Howie.

"Howie, come here."

Hearing his call, Howie hurriedly stepped forward, came to Zong Shen and knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and looked at Zong Shen's boot toe to show respect.

"My lord, Howie awaits your order."

He said in a low voice, his attitude was impeccable, as expected of someone who had served the minor nobles before.

However, Zong Shen is actually not interested in such etiquette. At this stage, he pays more attention to efficiency, rather than these vain things.

"Look up, and I will give you this badge."

Zong Shen said loudly.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand holding the badge.

Howie also immediately raised his head.

He held up his hands and watched Zong Shen place the badge in his hands.

As a hero under the lord, he can naturally check attributes.

When his eyes were aimed at the badge, the prompt for the change of loyalty came immediately.

Zong Shen was not surprised by this.

Gifting is the fastest way to increase loyalty.

After getting along for this period of time, his loyalty has reached 88 points, and this badge has been increased by ten points.

There are now 2 points left to Max.

"Thank you for your gift!"

"Howie will be there for you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zong Shen waving his hand.
