In other words, this is a preparation that takes tens of thousands of years.
As early as 17,800 years ago, from the end of the last era to the rise of the human kingdom nearly 6,000 to 7,000 years ago.
The lord system is already paving the way and preparing for the arrival of this group of lords.
This gave Zong Shen the feeling of being deeply planned, so meticulously prepared, and with obvious rules of change.
This made him have to suspect that the purpose of this continent's existence seemed to be to play a game of lords.
The gathering of various information also allowed Zong Shen to draw a brand new conclusion.
That is, their group of people are not the only lords.
Looking at the human kingdoms that emerged six or seven thousand years ago after the end of the last era, as well as the prosperous cities that blossomed everywhere, Zong Shen was almost 60% sure that the aborigines of these human kingdoms were probably also lords.
Even if one dares to speculate, those alien races that dominated the continent in the previous era are also likely to be lords.
From their rise and development, we can find some unusual places.
I just don’t know why, but the status of these guys has changed, from lords to aborigines of the next era.
There seem to be many secrets worth exploring.
"I think I've figured it out."
"In short, you are welcome to join me, Caniggia, the favored one of the Wind Spirit God."
"You will definitely be an outstanding mage. We will fight side by side and build a great territory step by step."
"I'm looking forward to this."
Zong Shen stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder lightly, and said meaningfully.
Caniggia grinned, patted his left chest with one hand, and nodded to Zong Shen.
"I am looking forward too."
"I wonder who will direct me?"
He said meaningfully.
The words hinted at the two intermediate water mages just now.
"Hey, you are the only wind mage in the territory."
"So you can just accept my command directly."
"Go back to the queue now and find a place you like in the queue."
Zong Shen said with a smile, stretched out his hand and pushed him gently.
Caniggia bowed slightly again, smiled and left Zong Shen's side.
His steps are still agile and brisk, he is simply the son of the wind spirit.
His dual identities of being the one favored by the wind spirit god and having the legendary wind magic talent make his every move as elegant as the breeze.
He walked towards the queue, found a place behind Favid, and stood quietly.
At this time, the four sergeants Rodok had been waiting aside for a long time.
They carried thick kite-shaped shields on their backs, and also carried a long-handled machete about 1.8 meters long across their backs. A military chain-head hammer hung on their waist.
These fourth-level Rhodok sergeants wear domed battle helmets with a flaky bulge on the left and right sides of the helmet top.
He wears strong black and gray plate armor, and his arms and lower body are chain armor and skirt armor.
The boots on their feet also have another mystery, with spikes embedded on the top and heels.
This kind of equipment configuration can be regarded as heavy armored infantry.
In positional battles and city defense battles, Sergeant Rodock was very famous.
"In the name of mountains, forests and fertile soil."
"Sergeant Ricardo Rodock/Maspero."
"Sgt. Casper Rhodok/Ankergren."
"Reporting to you!"
"Great lord, may you always enjoy fertile soil."
None of the four Rodock sergeants are tall, with a height ranging from 175 to 180 centimeters. They are neither fat nor strong.
This body type is quite ordinary among heavy armored infantry.
This may be because the Rhodok Kingdom is mountainous, and the living environment, eating habits, and customs and traditions will all have an impact on the body shape.
Although body shape and size will have a certain impact on combat effectiveness, this does not prevent Sergeant Rodock from being powerful.
They may not be tall, but their toughness is recognized.
"Welcome to join us."
"We will walk hand in hand from now on."
Zong Shen said a few simple greetings.
He was a little tired of this kind of formality.
After hearing this, the four Rodok sergeants stood up slowly.
The solid plate armor on the upper body gives them considerable upper body armor value, but it also adds extra weight.
As they stood up, every movement of their limbs made the armor on their bodies make a clanging sound.
When they did not receive any further instructions from Zong Shen, these Rodok sergeants all kept their postures upright and stood in place meticulously.
It looks a little more serious, but more disciplined.
Zong Shen also stared at them and began to check their properties.
[Sgt. Rodock: Ricardo]
[Qualification: Excellent]
[Level: lv10]
[Attribute: (Click to expand)]

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hammer Shield Mode lv10 (holding a kite-shaped shield with a military chain-head hammer, increases the armor value by 10 points, 35% toughness and 20% magic resistance.

Passive skill: Garrison (fighting within the territory will gain an additional 15% damage bonus)
Son of the Mountain (Fighting in the mountains will gain an additional 10% damage bonus and an additional 15% movement speed bonus)】
(The famous Sergeant Rodok can be transformed in multiple modes. He has strong shield defense capabilities and good damage capabilities. In mountain defense battles, their strength can be greatly improved.
However, they do not have long-range countermeasure capabilities and need excellent long-range shooters or mage troops to provide cover and support)
Zong Shen patiently read the detailed information about Sergeant Rodock.
From the perspective of heavy infantry, these Rodok sergeants are indeed good at close combat.
However, as the summary at the end of the strategy tips says, Sergeant Rodok lacks effective long-range countermeasures.
They have no long-range attack weapons, their movement speed is very average, and they lack rush-type skills.
It comes with three combat modes that can cope with various combat situations. The only active attack skill is suitable for melee breakthroughs.
When the infantry of both sides are close, they can effectively suppress the opponent's infantry by launching consecutive cuts.
In addition, there are two passive buffs. If Zong Shen's territory is in the mountains and forests, Sergeant Rodok can use his full strength.
Just by looking at those two passive skills, you can already understand why Sergeant Rodock is nicknamed the "King of Mountain Defense" in rumors.
In a mountain fortress, one's own city wall or forward position, if a large group of Rodok sergeants are deployed, it is really difficult for ordinary heavy infantry to break in.
And the most critical point is that the heavy cavalry in the mountains cannot effectively exert their combat effectiveness.
Those long-range shooters will be suppressed by Rhodok's marksmen.
With this in mind, it's no wonder that Sergeant Rodock has become so famous on his own territory.
However, compared with defending the city, Sergeant Rodock has no advantage in taking the initiative to attack and break the formation.
Each kingdom has its own powerful troops, each with its own characteristics and advantages.
If Zong Shen can recruit as many superior troops from other kingdoms as possible, he will be able to conduct coordinated operations as a brigade or legion unit when large-scale battles take place in the future.
This is also a way to make up for each other's weaknesses. After all, as a lord, Zong Shen will not be shackled by the kingdom's camp or even his ethnic group. When the time comes to form a hybrid army, he will definitely be able to exert combat effectiveness beyond expectations.
"Well...you all should return to the team."
"Ricardo, you will be their leader."
Zong Shen waved his hand and randomly assigned one of the sergeants from Rodok to be the squad leader.
There are only four Rodok sergeants in the territory now, and they can continue to observe and observe before they form a large scale.
The four Rodok sergeants didn't say much, and they marched uniformly and merged into the queue.
At this point, all the fourth-level recruitment scrolls have been used.
A fourth-level warrior requires 3 points of command points, so Zong Shen's current general command points have also become [153/288] points.
The logistics of the territory were arranged, and the soldiers reorganized themselves.
At this time, Doris and Tasia also returned to the living area in the loader mecha.
There was a black robe on Tasia's body, which covered her [Exposed Body with Abnormal Bones].
Now, it is already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and the remaining ice layer has almost melted away, leaving only twenty or thirty centimeters thick.
Although these ice layers are melting in name, they have actually disappeared directly. However, this disappearance process will only last for two hours from beginning to end.
As the ice completely melted, Zong Shen and the others were finally able to experience the happiness of being down-to-earth again.
Now Zong Shen still has one last thing to solve.
That's point redemption.
Although the exchange would last for 24 hours, in order to avoid being delayed by trivial matters, Zong Shen decided to proceed before the expedition.
He just did what he said. He planned to seize the time and redeem the points as soon as possible so that he could go north into the mountains to find the griffon's nest as soon as possible.
Zong Shen opened the [Winter Points] option, which only had a sub-option of [Points Exchange].
As of now, Zong Shen's point balance is 37,300 points, which is slightly more than 2,000 points more than in the first half of Winter.
After a cursory glance, he directly opened [Points Redemption].
This time the categories in the exchange mall are different from before.
From four major categories to three major categories.
[Resource Exchange], [Special Props], [Points Blind Box].
Compared with the last point redemption, there is no [auxiliary resources] option, and there are also no [defensive buildings] and [recruitment coupons] available for redemption.
The types of points exchange also reflect the adjustment of the lord system to the development of lords at the current stage to a certain extent.
Since there are fewer soldiers, let's create an option to exchange recruitment coupons.
If the territory's defense is weak, then exchange for defensive buildings.
Of course, this is a general average standard and is not judged based on the situation of a certain lord.
Anyway, this is the truth, Zong Shen doesn't care too much about it.
With the previous round of exchange experience, Zong Shen's choice this time became much more decisive.
First, [Resource Exchange], common five series magic materials, magic gems must be exchanged to the upper limit first.
A total of 6,500 points were consumed here, so he only had 30,800 points left.
The next focus of exchange was still on [Special props].
First, I directly arranged a set of goblin bombs, from type 2 to type 5, directly purchased up to the maximum limit that can be exchanged.
Then there are two [Magic Drilling Machines] plus six sets of [Special Drill Bits], each set worth 250 points.
This part consumes a full 11,300 points.
The current remaining points are 19,500 points.
He exchanged again for [Level 4 Magic Patrol Dog] x3, [Level 3 Magic Patrol Dog] x5.
This is also a special magic-type prop that the territory urgently needs, which can further make up for the gaps in the territory's defense.
In the future, the territory will only get bigger, not smaller, and increasing anti-stealth capabilities will be crucial.
In addition to patrol dogs, Zong Shen also exchanged a batch of fifth-level spell scrolls.
[Level 5 Skyfire Fall Spell Scroll] x1
[Level 5 Lightning Storm Spell Scroll] x1
[Level 5 Extreme Cold Storm Spell Scroll] x1
[Level 5 Triple Hellfire Spell Scroll] x1
[Level 5 Holy Light Rain Spell Scroll] x1
In the end, Zong Shen also exchanged two rare-level [Magic Net Casters].
In addition, there are 24 sets of matching alloy nets. After these nets are launched through the net thrower, even the overlord-level behemoths can be restrained for a short time.
This batch of redemptions consumed a total of 11,000 points.
This reduced his remaining points to 8,500 points.
Zong Shen planned to spend all of the remaining 8,000 points in the [Points Blind Box] to try his luck.
This is also a habit of his.
Every time points are redeemed, a portion will always be left for lottery activities.
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.
If you are lucky, if you get a special item or an epic item with a clear value, you will make a lot of money.
Even if you are unlucky, it's not too bad if you can get some rare or legendary items.
Thinking of this, he decisively opened the [Points Blind Box] option.
[Exciting Points Blind Box]
[Consume 500 points/1000 points/1500 points to draw blind boxes of different grades]
[The points blind box does not limit the upper and lower limits of rewards, nor does it limit the types of rewards]
[The higher the quality and rarer the item, the lower the chance of extracting it]
[The higher the grade, the chance of winning high-quality items in the blind box will be slightly increased]
[Every time you draw, five blind boxes with different rewards will appear randomly, you need to choose one of them to open]
[(Click to select the blind box position)]
This is Zong Shen’s second time playing the blind box game. There are no new drivers in the casino, only veteran drivers. After getting familiar with it, Zong Shen also started to become more experienced.
There is no need to warm up at all, just click and select a blind box with a 1500 points level.
It is also the blind box with the highest level of points required in this round.
As the points were deducted, all the selection subtitles disappeared, and the big golden bag still appeared in front of me.
Accompanied by a slightly fancy flashing special effect, five pale golden square boxes flew out of the pocket.
These boxes also have no patterns and are all of the same size.
Compared with the 500-point level, there is only a difference in color, from light yellow to light gold.
These five pale golden blind boxes were lined up and suspended in front of Zong Shen.
It was both illusory and tangible. He narrowed his eyes skillfully and began to examine the blind boxes one by one.
From the first box to the fifth box, their prompts are.
[Magic aircraft (purple)]
[Basic Labor Tools Gift Pack (Blue)]
[Feather of the Fallen Wing (Purple)]
[Book: "Introduction to Rune Firearms"]
【Smoked ham sandwich (green)】
The basic rewards that can be obtained from the blind box at the 1500-point level are indeed good.
Two of the five blind boxes are rare-level items, one each of excellent-level and fine-level items, and there is also a suspected technical book.
To be honest, Zong Shen is quite interested in magic aircraft.
These magical energy mechanical products often have some special effects.
In addition, there is the book called "Introduction to Rune Firearms".
Perhaps this book will be a key to unlocking the age of rune weapons in the territory.
As for the rare-level feathers, Zong Shen was not very interested. Although rare-level items must have some unique features, there is only one chance to choose.
"Please recommend, which one should I choose?"
The difficult question of how Zong Shen chooses is left in the hands of the strategy module.
(Choose a book, don’t think it is just an introductory book, but it is a rare book about runes and firearms in the outside world. Give it to the dwarf uncle first, maybe it will bring you some surprises over time)
After reading the guide recommendations, Zong Shen had no hesitation.
I directly chose the blind box with "Introduction to Rune Firearms".
Regarding firearms, he actually always had a bold idea, and the most critical materials were already available.
What is lacking now is relevant manufacturing experience, as well as some magic energy issues.
With this book, perhaps a breakthrough can be opened.
After he completed his selection, only one of the five blind boxes was left.
The blind box was opened directly in front of him, revealing an old book with a yellow-brown cover.
There are no symbols or patterns on the book cover, and the pages are obviously damaged.
There is a crease in the lower right corner, and there are gaps on the edges on both sides.
