"Prove it with actions, not beautiful words."
"You have two tasks today."
"This badge has a storage space. Later you will take some people to the pasture, collect the frozen cattle and sheep into the storage space before they rot, and bring them back, and restore the pasture at the same time."
"Those temporary windshields can all be moved and put out of the way, and the heater can be stowed away."
"Third Fatty, you and some farmers will start processing these cattle and sheep, including the carcasses of half of the ice beasts, and put the other half into the ice cellar. I will need them in two days."
Zong Shen said directly.
He looked up at San Fatty again.
The latter immediately bowed on the spot to show that he understood.
"The second thing is, after taking care of the ranch affairs, ask Mariel to allocate a batch of food supplies. It's time to go to the mine."
"Cecilia, take the Immortal Lancers team and set off with Howie."
"Okay, you can return to the team."
Zong Shen quickly arranged tasks for Howi. After the winter challenge, there were still many things that needed to be prepared.
Howie stood up obediently, half-bowed and slowly stepped back a few steps before turning around and returning to the queue.
Zong Shen now is different from when he first landed. At that time, the territory lacked manpower.
He attaches great importance to every soldier and even farmer, fearing that if something is not handled well, the loyalty of the people will be reduced.
After going through this period of training, he has begun to initially understand the meaning of dominance.
No longer worry about gains and losses to worry about every word and action.
If you want to rule all the people, you must have your own power, and you must even maintain a sense of mystery to a certain extent.
In the future, the territory will never stop at a few hundred people, but will always expand step by step.
From hundreds of people to thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even more.
As a qualified leader, he only needs to grasp the overall situation.
This is why a king can become a king.
He couldn't understand every citizen like he did at the beginning, no great lord would do that.
Even if one person only occupied the lord for ten seconds, millions of people would occupy it for one or two hundred days.
He only recently understood this truth. Only if he grasps the general direction wholeheartedly can the territory develop more efficiently.
He is a lord, not a slave.
Therefore, he now assigns tasks very neatly, only with goals, and no longer considers individual subtle changes in loyalty.
"Mariel, you have a more important mission."
"Immediately organize manpower to start a new round of construction."
"The living area can be further expanded, and the double-story stone house is more beautiful and practical than these folk houses."
“All kinds of complete drawings can also be constructed in advance.”
"Consume some of the resources reserved in the territory, then go to the [Market], remove those items for sale, and extract the relevant resources."
"These two resources should be enough for the territory's next construction tasks."
"In addition, you also need to restore the buildings in the territory and remove all these temporary walls and arrangements."
"By the way, people from Bospan may bring a group of refugees this afternoon."
"Hang the magic flag I gave you earlier higher. It's up to you to contact these people. Remember to screen them."
"See if there are people who have mastered technology or are heroic talents and highly qualified talents."
"Get clean clothes and food ready."
"Of course they may not arrive until tomorrow, so it's always good to be prepared."
Zong Shen explained in a softer tone that he could not put on airs with Mariel.
“You can start now”
Mariel smiled slightly and bent down, holding a book in her arms. After receiving Zong Shen's order, she immediately turned around and named twenty or thirty farmers.
He left the living area in a hurry.
Upon seeing this, Howie and San Pang also left the living area with some farmers.
The team of Immortal Lancers followed Howie.
At this point, the chores in the territory have been temporarily arranged. Zong Shen is also going to go to the blacksmith shop and let the dwarf uncle start preparing the rough and fine forged building materials.
But this is a long-term plan and there is no rush.
There is no problem in contacting the dwarf uncle tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow. It will not have any big impact on the plan.
After that, Zong Shen started the reward mode.
First, give [Abnormal Bone Exposed Body] to Tasia.
When she took over this strange-looking robe, she was a little stunned.
To be honest, the appearance of [Exposed Body with Abnormal Bones] is indeed a bit novel.
Even Tasia's recognition as a necromancer is somewhat unacceptable.
I'm afraid only those emotionless undead lichs can wear it happily.
However, although this thing is not very beautiful, and can even be said to be a bit unconventional, the attributes it comes with are still very impressive.
"Hey, I didn't expect that even Tasia, who has always been informal, would have trouble."
"How about I take it back?"
Zong Shen had a smile on his face and said jokingly.
But when Tasia heard what he said, she quickly hugged the [Abnormal Bone Exposed Body] in her hands.
The little head is like a rattle, shaking constantly.
"Sir, I can accept it!"
Just kidding, compared to improving strength, a weird appearance is nothing.
"Haha, ask Alanna to make you a robe later and put it on outside."
"Okay, let's find an empty house and change into it now. We'll have to go on an expedition later."
Zong Shen stretched out his hand and scratched her nose. He liked Tasia's personality very much.
"Okay, sir..."
Tasia nodded, hugged her new robe, found an empty house, closed the door and immediately changed.
Then, Zong Shen gave [Spear of Splitting Spine (Purple)] and [Ice Wolf Hatchet (Purple)] to Crazy Axe Warrior Rudenev and Dragon Transformed Spear and Shield Warrior Katis respectively.
After a few simple words of encouragement, they were asked to return to the queue.
At this time, Tasia also changed into the [Exposed Body with Abnormal Bones]. Compared with the traditional mage robe, the texture of this thing is more like a leather robe with weird patterns.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At first glance, Tasia looks like a weirdo who has been stripped of his skin and put on bone armor.
This made her temperament become unpredictable. When she walked out of the house, all the soldiers fell into silence.
"Um…"
"Something does look wrong..."
"Doris, please go and ask Alana to make a black robe."
"Tasia, you can go with us. There is no requirement. Just come back within an hour."
The shape of [Exposed Body with Abnormal Bones] is too eye-catching, especially after Tasiya changed into it, this weird contrast became more obvious, and some concealment was still needed.
As a necromancer, dressing up to attract attention is not a good thing.
The two women followed the order and left, and Doris directly drove into the loader mecha.
After they left, Zong Shen began to make arrangements for the next thing.
That is to use the recruitment roll.
He still has a lot of recruitment scrolls in his hand, starting from the two treasure boxes he found in his backpack, and then the winter treasure box.
Now Zong Shen still has [Second Level Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scroll x26], [Third Level Water Mage Recruitment Scroll x4], [Third Level Earth Mage x2], [Third Level Holy Light Priest x2], [Third Level Madman
Ax Warrior x3], [Level 3 Dark Night Patroller x2].
These are all second- and third-level recruitment scrolls. In addition, he also has some fourth-level recruitment scrolls. These are the real rarities.
Because when he opened the silver treasure chest, he had never opened a fourth-level recruitment scroll before.
Perhaps it is because the Winter Treasure Chest is special, or perhaps the average strength of the lords has reached a certain new stage, and the corresponding high-level recruitment scrolls have begun to be produced.
Zong Shen didn't care about this, he only cared about how much combat power these fourth-level warriors who were about to appear could add to the territory.
There are still seven fourth-level recruitment scrolls, namely [Intermediate Water Mage Recruitment Scroll x2], [Intermediate Wind Mage Recruitment Scroll x1], [Fourth-Level Rodok Sergeant x4].
Strictly speaking, the intermediate space mage Reese Ulysses is also considered a new fourth-level warrior.
Zong Shen took a dozen steps back to ensure there was enough open space in front of him, and first activated all twenty-six [Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Scrolls].
He held the recruitment scroll in both hands, threw it in front of him, and chose to activate it at the same time.
Black rays of light appeared on the spot, turning into twenty-six spatial singularities.
Accompanied by the roars of giant wolves, one by one, strong figures riding giant wolves walked out of the singularity in space.
They all got off the giant wolf, spontaneously came to line up in front of Zong Shen, and loudly said their names like counting numbers.
Finally, they knelt down on one knee in unison and wished the great lord good health.
These guys are natural group troops and have a high level of collective consciousness.
Zong Shen also said a few words as usual to welcome these new members.
With the addition of this group of young men, there are now a total of seventy wolf cavalry in the territory.
When the construction of [Giant Wolf's Lair] is completed, this number can be further increased.
Seventy wolf cavalry are equivalent to less than six squads.
"Colby, I'll leave these boys to you."
"The fourth and fifth teams of the Wolf Cavalry can be formed. The remaining ten warriors will serve as substitute formations until the sixth team is assembled."
"By the way, I'll give you this [Heart of Primary Power] too."
Zong Shen shouted to Colby who was in the wolf cavalry formation behind him.
As he was talking, he remembered the [Heart of Elementary Power] that he had replaced before, and he just happened to give it to Colby now.
As a third-level giant wolf knight, the giant wolf under Colby's crotch is taller than that of the second-level wolf cavalry, which gives him the temperament of a leader among the wolf cavalry.
"From now on, you will all be managed by Colby. He is the wolf rider commander in the territory."
When Colby walked out of the queue, Zong Shen spoke to the newly joined soldiers, emphasizing Colby's status and authority.
When the twenty-six newly joined Wolf Cavalry soldiers heard what Zong Shen said, they all turned their heads and paid attention to Colby.
Colby rode the giant wolf to his side and turned over nimbly.
He put a fist on his chest with one hand and knelt on one knee. The expression on his face was very pious, with a kind of worship from the heart.
Zong Shen personally wore the [Heart of Primary Power] on his chest.
"Get up and let the new brothers return to the team."
"Introduce them to the situation in the territory, and resume normal patrols of the wolf riding team from today."
"The specific arrangements are up to you. Now that the territory has become larger, many defense loopholes have been exposed."
"We can't just rely on those defense towers, we need more rigorous patrols."
After Zong Shen put on the Heart of Power for him, he took the initiative to help Colby up.
Among all the Wolf Cavalry, he was the most affectionate towards Colby.
Not only because Colby was the first soldier under his command, but also because of Colby's loyalty and bravery.
He was able to bleed for Zong Shen without hesitation, even sacrificing his own life, and he never questioned Zong Shen's orders, even if they were dangerous.
This is loyalty, even this loyalty goes beyond the category of "loyalty". It comes from nature and comes from the heart.
"Sir, Colby..."
Colby looked at Zong Shen and opened his mouth to say something to express his gratitude, but was stopped by Zong Shen.
"Needless to say, your loyalty is worthy of my trust."
"Take the boys back to the team."
Zong Shen knew that Colby was not good at words. Even though this guy was tall and rough, in fact he was still very shy in some aspects.
Colby nodded, patted his chest at the wolf-riding warriors behind him, and let out a low growl that resembled a wolf howl.
This seems to be a unique way of communication belonging to the Wild Wolf tribe, something like shouting slogans.
The wolf-riding warriors also made the same gesture in response.
Then he followed Colby and joined the ranks of the Wolf Cavalry.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The wolf riding team in the territory finally looks like it has grown to a certain size.
When the Wolf Cavalry reaches the size of a squadron, new team skills can be activated.
As a unique unit in this area and also the basic unit for the lords to start with, these sturdy young men paired with the prairie wolves on their crotches are indeed a unit with extremely high comprehensive attributes.
Speaking of which, Zong Shen also has a [Token of the Wild Wolf Tribe (orange)], which is a legendary quality inheritance item that can open the dusty altar of the Wild Wolf Tribe for many years and obtain ancient inheritance.
In this way, the warriors of the Wild Wolf tribe can reappear in the world.
I am still very interested in Zong Shen, the mother clan of the Wolf Cavalry.
Moreover, as a nomadic tribe that was once active on this grassland, the Wild Wolf Tribe should have relatively complete military units.
It's not just Wolf Cavalry.
If we can get the inheritance of the Wild Wolf tribe, does that mean we get the complete weapon tree of the Wild Wolf series?
For example, there are various unique military camps, as well as contract buildings such as beast nests and totems.
Unfortunately, Zong Shen's current schedule is already full, and sometimes it's troublesome to have too many ruins to explore.
Fortunately, most ruins have certain thresholds for opening. For example, [Shadow Venom Assassin League] and [Azshara Mountain Bunker] are blocked by solid rune gates.
The walls of ruins like this have been reinforced, and it would be a big project to break them open using violent means.
There are also some ruins buried deep underground, such as the city ruins of Azshara. Except for the damaged towers, most of the surface buildings were buried underground due to the undulating terrain.
There were also many buildings that were directly razed to the ground by the hellfire meteorites that fell from the sky during the war that year.
However, after being here for so long, many lords have mastered some little tips for exploration.
Those places with obvious ruins in the area will be searched intensively.
However, there are really good ruins, but they are not so easy to get to.
There are often powerful monsters waiting around or inside the ruins.
For example, the spider web monster group that Zong Shen encountered when he first explored the mines, the goblin tribe in the northern mountain forest, and various beasts such as blood-toothed wild boars, furbolgs, and prairie wolves.
In short, there are more or less obstacles and thresholds in each ruins. In the short term, Zong Shen is not worried that someone will get there first.
Obvious ruins are dangerous, or require some kind of key or token.
Unobvious ruins are difficult to find, such as Azshara's city sewers or places like the Bone Bunker.
Without guidance or chance, who knows where the entrances to these ruins are.
Zong Shen shook his head, put away these thoughts, and began to use all the third-level recruitment scrolls.
A total of four water mages, two earth mages, two holy light priests, three mad ax warriors, and two night rangers were recruited.
Milani is in charge of the water mage. Counting the new ones, there are a total of eight water mages among the lords. Four more can form a team.
Rudnev is in charge of the Ax Warriors, and he is finally no longer alone.
However, including himself, the team of Crazy Ax Warriors is still not strong. There are only four people, and they need to slowly increase their manpower.
As for the Holy Light Priest, Aisia is naturally in charge. Not counting her as the Holy Light Deacon, there are four Holy Light Priests in the territory.
There is nothing unusual about these arms. The only ones that interest Zong Shen are the new ones that he has never seen before.
For example, earth mage and night ranger, these are units that are not yet available in the territory.
First of all, there are two earth mages, one male and one female. They look normal and are not aging or disabled.
It seems that they were between 30 and 35 years old before the ban, which was in their prime. In addition, the life span of mages is longer than that of ordinary people, and the aging period is also delayed accordingly. Therefore, these two people look good-looking.
They were wearing khaki third-level magic robes with undulating mountain patterns on the hems.
This represents earth and the earth element.
The staff in his hand is ordinary, about one meter in length, and the wooden staff has circles of artificially carved spiral patterns.
The top is a stone, or at least it looks like a stone.
The whole body is yellow-brown, the color on it is not moist, and the texture is not clear, just like a piece of tightly condensed soil.
Generally speaking, the characteristics of the elements are still very obvious. Like the mages of other departments, their external performances are very distinct.
You can tell at a glance that they are serious earth-based Buddhist masters.
