So the situation is entering its most chaotic moment.
It's Zong's turn to officially join this game.
However, even with the "spoilers" of the strategy module, the true motives of the church are still not completely certain before the projection of the Raven God of Disaster arrives.
But now, the emergence of the church is in line with Zong Shen's expectations.
He needs a chaotic giant city of Lentax.
It would be best to create chaos that makes all forces feel numb.
In fact, both Princess Anna and the Grand Duke Chloë behind her.
Or Grand Duke Jonathan, they are all powerful forces that Zong Shen cannot afford to offend at the moment.
Putting aside these two big dukes in the Kingdom of Avalon, he was not weak at all against the remaining opponents.
Such as the Lancaster family.
No matter whether there is the intervention of evil spirits or not, Zong Shen will not take it seriously.
The same is true for the Calamity Raven Church.
The only difficult thing is the projection of the Raven God, who has at least a demi-god level of strength.
But even if it is the projection of God, he still has trump cards to deal with it, and it is not without any means.
But the two Grand Dukes are different. They each have the support of about twenty or thirty giant city-level forces in the Kingdom of Avalon.
Grand Duke Jonathan is mainly active in the central part of the kingdom, and even controls one of the three imperial cities.
Grand Duke Chloé is also not easy to mess with. His main sphere of influence is on the eastern coast of the kingdom, where the Kingdom of Avalon directly connects to the sea.
Zong Shen's territory is located exactly between the spheres of influence of these two bosses.
If he really jumped out and exposed his identity, endless revenge would be waiting for him.
Even if the territory can withstand an army of millions, it is not easy to do so.
In a true regional war, these duke bosses can mobilize tens of millions of troops.
There are hundreds of legendary strong men under his command, and there may even be demigod-level strong men among them.
If that time really comes, I'm afraid Zong Shen can only choose to use the [Territorial Movement] opportunity given when [Legion] is upgraded to transfer the territory to other places and abandon the Azshara Mine and the undeveloped [Burial of Bones].
land】.
This will undoubtedly have serious consequences.
After all, the ruins of Azshara still hide a treasure trove that has yet to be opened.
Also hidden within the bones is the [Devil King’s Secret Order] and the mysterious Tower of the Dead.
These are the areas where the territory is located and potentially exploitable resources.
Therefore, Zong Shen did not want to provoke the Grand Duke-level forces prematurely.
The best outcome is to wait for the battle for the king to reach its climax, and then he waits for opportunities to gain benefits.
As long as the strength improves quickly enough, even the future King Zong Shen will have a chance to get involved.
Don't forget, the fifth princess Anne is still in his territory.
The changes in the giant city of Lentax have actually been destined for a long time.
Zong Shen's covert intervention was like throwing a handful of accelerant into the fire.
In fact, with or without him, Lentax is destined to undergo disruptive changes.
The church, princes, princesses, and evil spirits will turn the giant city into chaos.
Seeing the essence of an event is like finding the threads in a tangled mess.
Next, what Zong Shen has to do is to peel back the cocoon and trace the source.
The situation in the city was allowed to continue to ferment.
The coming of God will take time, and the war between the church and the garrison will not end immediately.
So in the first step, he chose to trace the evil earth spirit.
Especially at this juncture when the Blood Rose Seed has been transferred from Penny Lancaster's body to Prince Carter's body.
The so-called transfer is actually transplantation and differentiation.
Because the inheritance of Penny and [Blood Rose] is almost equivalent to a bound state.
Even the strength of [Blood Rose] and [Evil Earth Spirit] will be affected by Penny's Coming of Age Ceremony.
Putting aside the side effects of [Seal of the Rose].
[Blood Rose]'s control ability is very overbearing.
If Zong Shen hadn't intervened in the dispute in the giant city of Lentax this time, Penny would have had the last laugh.
Zong Shen already knew something about [Blood Rose] and [Evil Earth Spirit].
The former represents some kind of cursed Flower Fairy, which is the power inheritance of the Blood Fairy.
The latter is the evil will born based on this power.
The one currently controlling Penny Lancaster to do all sorts of things that go against her true will is the will of the [Evil Earth Spirit].
The relationship here is actually not complicated.
After Penny received the inheritance of [Blood Rose], she gained mysterious power.
At the same time, her self-will was replaced by [Evil Earth Spirit].
To put it simply, Penny was the one who was manipulated involuntarily in the first place.
This is the essence of everything.
Zong Shen did not destroy the birthplace of evil earth spirits before, just so as not to affect the development of the situation.
Now, the giant city of Lentax has entered a state of complete chaos according to his wishes.
Then it was time for someone in the clan to eradicate the [evil earth spirit].
It is no exaggeration to say that if this power continues to be left unchecked, it will be enough to cholera a large area.
Either find a way to control it and take it into your own hands, or destroy it completely!
Considering its characteristics, I have also seen its capabilities.
Zong Shen has every reason to suspect that [Evil Earth Spirit] is one of the "tinderboxes" hidden in the Aboriginal Kingdom.
He discovered very early on that there were many hidden dangers in the Endless Continent.
There are also suppressed conflicts among the indigenous forces that can subvert the situation.
These hidden dangers and contradictions are suppressed by invisible power.
When the lords known as the "Chosen Sons" arrive one after another, it heralds that a new era of change in the Endless Continent is about to begin.
As the decayed remnants of the old era, the indigenous kingdoms and forces will gradually fall into chaos and eventually collapse and disintegrate, becoming the material needed for the development of the lords and the rising overlords of the new era.
Chaos seems to have been doomed.
Just before and after the combination, all the chaotic factors that erupted in front of us had their origin.
Therefore, Zong Shen planned to solve the problem of [Evil Earth Spirit] first.
No matter whether it is destroyed or conquered, it cannot be allowed to continue unchecked.
After solving this problem, it's time to mix up the church and the garrison.
Let’s first take a look at the attitude of the Raven God of Disaster.
If it is true as the strategy module says, it is the best, which is equivalent to buying a church power with nothing.
And on the surface Zong Shen will not be implicated.
Maybe he can also use the projection of God to his advantage.
But if there was something fishy going on, Zong Shen would even settle it with the church.
Let Safuri try to take over Jackdaw Valley.
After all, it is an area comparable to a giant city.
Lingling Zongzong within its jurisdiction has a population of 20 to 30 million, and this is due to the cold climate.
Even if the church mobilizes in full force, it is impossible to transfer the entire population there to the giant city of Lentax.
Currently, those who come through the long-distance transmission channel are mainly the Apostles, the Fanatic Army and those staunch believers.
The total number is approximately several million people.
After all, heavy materials also require personnel to take care of them.
Therefore, the Jackdaw Valley that has been emptied of the church still has the value of receiving it.
Anyway, he didn't care about the losses of Lentax City and Calamity Raven Church.
After being beaten to death, whatever is left is his wealth.
It's just that the residents living there have generally been brainwashed by the church's beliefs.
Therefore, the performance will be relatively dull, which is also a common situation in various church-controlled areas.
If you want to gain as much faith as possible, you can't let people's wisdom be too open.
A rich sense of autonomy and personal awareness will gradually eliminate the fear of God.
For the lord, the quality of such a population is not too high, and it still needs to be influenced and trained.
But anyway it's better than nothing.
Population is the real foundation for future development.
Personal force only looks at the early stage, while population is an important factor in later development.
Two situations, different ways to deal with them.
This also means that the trip to the giant city of Lentax is coming to an end.
If this vote is successful, the territory will not be short of population in the next two to three months.
It can develop to the giant city level very smoothly, making the progress once again surpass the other lords by eighteen streets!
By the way, the current imbalance between the number of retired warriors and other types of population in the territory has been improved.
In order to feed so many unemployed warriors, Zong Shen's development strategy was to plunder as much as possible.
At the same time, the agricultural development in the territory will never keep up with the mainstream level and can only be regarded as laying the foundation. Unless the development of the territory stagnates, there is no way.
Fortunately, the food problem is relatively easy to solve, at least the indigenous forces are not short of food.
The dinar has always maintained a relatively strong purchasing power.
You can always buy enough food by making more trips.
Regardless of these motivations, Zong Shen's attention is only focused on the present.
He quickly locked the locations of Penny and Prince Carter through the golden circle mark on the strategy module.
It was found that they were heading towards the outskirts, moving very fast, and they should be riding griffins or dragon eagles.
At this time, the third circle of the giant city of Lentax was in chaos.
The apostles were divided into several parts, centered on the ritual area, and invaded the third circle in an orderly manner.
Most of the garrison and Dragonborn Knights have withdrawn to the second circle.,
A large magic shield rose up there.
In fact, each circle in the city has its own large-scale magic shield generation device.
If the church wants to break into the Marquis Castle in one go, it needs to break through the entire three lines of defense.
However, thanks to the successful deployment of ultra-long-distance transmission channels, the defense line in the third circle is considered useless.
Otherwise, they would have to attack from outside the city.
The large magic energy shield within the circle is relatively flexible and can be opened or closed as a whole, or small channels can be opened locally.
The overall solidity value reaches hundreds of millions of points, which is by no means comparable to the [Red Gold Barrier Pillar] in Zong Shen's territory.
Hundreds of millions of solid points, coupled with the ability to recharge, are enough for this layer of defense to effectively withstand millions of war attacks.
This is the foundation of the giant city.
However, the Calamity Raven Church is not in a hurry to launch an attack on the towering and solid defense line of the second circle.
The apostle group occupied the third circle in an orderly manner, and all residents inside were brought back to the bottom of the passage to wait to be led to Jackdaw Valley.
In addition, the warriors of the Apostles also brought back a large amount of food and various supplies from various places.
Also stacked under the aisle.
Whenever supplies and residents accumulate to a certain amount.
The long-distance teleportation light gate hanging upside down in the sky will cast beams of light, leading a large number of materials and people to Jackdaw Valley.
The church's arrangement is very simple, that is, first grab the third circle with the largest area.
Everything that could be taken away was taken away, and what could not be taken away was either burned or temporary fortifications were built.
And speaking of it, the long-distance transmission channel constructed by the church this time is quite stable and seems to be able to maintain it forever.
In addition to the time for the projection of God to arrive, the robbery itself also takes a certain amount of time.
This dispute won't end soon.
Maybe three days, maybe five days, it all depends on how strong the projection of God is.
After knowing what he knew, Zong Shen no longer delayed and chose a suitable direction to leave the city with Xiao Heizi. At the same time, he took out the [Communication Crystal] and contacted Count Les Kazan and Ma Li who were far away in the territory.
you.
Previously, he had used Earl Rice's connections to successfully win over and control a group of security officers.
There are also a small number of garrison officers.
It comes in handy at this time, and Earl Rice's purpose of staying in the city is also to serve as an internal response.
…
Half an hour later, outside the defense line of the city tower on the north side of the second circle of the giant city of Lentax.
This is the defense line temporarily in charge of the security forces.
Count Rice and Sheriff Shuraya Bhutto were already waiting here.
Seeing Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi arriving, they nodded to him in a vague way.
Then, at the request of Shuraya Bhutto, a small entrance and exit was opened in the large magic shield.
Zong Shen led Xiao Heizi through the magic shield and entered the third circle.
Looking back, I saw that the entrance and exit on the shield was slowly closing.
With a gentle wave of his hand, he took Xiao Heizi and activated [Wandering Walk] and left the place to avoid being entangled by the church apostles lingering nearby.
The original defense system of the third circle fell before it could even take effect.
Zong Shen is very interested in the large-scale magic energy shield generation device installed here, but it is inconvenient to move it in a short time, so he can only wait until later.
After several flashes in succession, he arrived at the northern suburbs of the city.
By this time, Penny and Prince Carter had already arrived at the Lancaster family's hunting ground.
It is also one of the few areas around the giant city that is not occupied by farmland, orchards or pastures.
The Blood Rose inheritance and the evil earth spirit that gave birth to it were conceived under that land.
It was about ten minutes after Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi left the city limits.
An illusory black track suddenly appeared from the distance.
Its speed is extremely fast, comparable to the Flash in the movie's special effects. Its actual speed can also be compared to a supersonic jet plane, and it can also travel on land.
The black shadow leaves a trail of light and shadow behind.
Before the trajectory a few hundred meters away had dissipated, the owner of this illusory figure had already stopped in front of Zong Shen.
The illusion quickly dissipated, and its figure became a gaze.
Its dark and smooth fur, streamlined and strong body, and the burning flames on its four hooves all make it look like a majestic horse!
And it has a resounding title——
--nightmare!
