In addition to buildings and resources, the number of unclaimed citizens remaining in the territory is even greater.
Among them are warriors, farmers, and a small number of heroic talents.
The total number of recipients reached almost two thousand.
Specifically, the statistics have not yet been completed, and Zong Shen is even worried that the command points will be stretched thin.
After all the unclaimed territories are inherited, the population in the territory will increase by at least five to six thousand.
When that time comes, how to coordinate the control value will also become a problem.
Let’s wait until tomorrow morning to tell you specifically.
What he has to do now is to speed up the acquisition of unclaimed territory.
Every time they went to an unclaimed territory, Zong Shen would first collect the materials in the territory, then inherit the territory's population, and also count the valuable buildings in the territory.
This process takes about 2 to 5 minutes, not counting the travel time. Some guys repair the buildings very scattered, which undoubtedly greatly increases his workload.
Only after the specific migration strategy is determined, Reiss Ulysses will open the [Shadow Wormhole] to connect the territory, and then Zong Shen will move the buildings and guide the receiving population into the territory through the wormhole.
In addition, in order to ensure the efficiency of material transfer, he had to directly take out the various resources collected and place them in the open spaces in the territory. Then Mariel, along with the logistics heroes and farmers, were responsible for sorting and sorting, and calculating the quantity of the corresponding materials.
, this is a set of process migration operations.
Only in this way can the efficiency of receiving unclaimed territory be improved.
These five or six hours also made Zong Shen very tired.
But no matter what, taking over unclaimed territory is a good opportunity to increase the population and resources of the territory.
Especially since these are the legacy of the fallen lords, don’t give them up in vain.
Even if he doesn't accept it, he will continue to benefit other lords one after another.
Since there is a strategy module that can accurately guide the way, and there are small black men who can quickly arrive, and the [Shadow Wormhole] allows convenient migration, these are all for the convenience of taking over unclaimed territory.
Riss Ulysses will meditate cross-legged while Zong Shen is taking inventory, recovering part of her magic value.
Only drink the [Magic Spring] when your magic is really running low.
In order to ensure her condition, Zong Shen also fed her an [Energy Fountain] from time to time to replenish her physical strength.
The most laid-back person in the room turned into Xiao Heizi.
This little flight load is just a drop in the bucket for it.
After accepting the pet contract, the negative effects caused by the ancestral bloodline are also reset.
So far, its injuries have healed slowly.
Even the health points have increased by two to three thousand.
The dragon's self-healing ability is evident.
The tyranny of top creatures is so unreasonable.
I am destined to have no sleep tonight.
…
More than ten hours passed quickly.
From dark to dawn to bright sunshine.
Although Zong Shen's body was iron-clad, he felt a little tired at this time.
He now sees double images of things and his mental state is extremely poor.
Beside her, Reese Ulysses had fallen asleep cross-legged, her withered head resting on Zong Shen's arm.
Even Xiao Heizi protested several times.
It is true that it has strong physical performance, but it has its battery life limit after all.
It has been flying for more than ten hours without rest, and it is still injured, so it will naturally ask for a rest.
However, Zong Shen didn't approve it, so he just endured it.
It’s not until the last golden circle mark disappears from sight that the task of taking over the unclaimed territory truly comes to an end.
It was already past ten o'clock in the morning.
There is still more than an hour before the official end of the heat wave challenge at 12 noon.
With the heatwave challenge over, they have officially reached three weeks and three days.
There is still about a week left until full term, and I don’t know what else the Lord system will do.
As long as the challenge month is over, they can develop steadily until the second batch of lords comes.
"call…"
"Go back, little Heizi."
After struggling all night, he finally accepted a total of 382 unclaimed territories.
The specific materials, personnel and buildings harvested have not yet been counted.
All he knew was that the open spaces in the farming and pastoral areas in the northwest of the territory were all filled with resources.
Thousands of people are queuing up outside the living area to receive food. At the same time, they will not break up and are divided into teams according to farmers, heroes, and warriors.
The sudden increase in population severely tested the territory's logistical capabilities.
A large number of double-story stone houses were built before and still cannot accommodate everyone.
It is imperative to build new stone house communities.
In addition, food, drinking water, and hygiene are also big issues.
Simple toilets and bathhouses need further construction.
There are also uniform casual clothes.
Just one portion of food for each person consumed the food reserves that could originally last three days for the territory.
It is equivalent to one meal equaling the original consumption of six meals.
Zong Shen must purchase more food.
Fortunately, Howie recovered the bodies of many horses and riding animals yesterday.
These meats can supplement part of the territory's food consumption.
That's not the only problem that gives Zong Shen a headache.
From food, clothing, housing and transportation, command value planning, inventory of materials, preparations for new infrastructure, and planning for relocation of buildings, everything needs his decision-making.
Now he was so tired that he had no time to care about this.
All the tedious work is left to your subordinates to complete.
He just waits until he has sorted it out before making the final decision on his plan.
In addition to unclaimed territory reception, heat wave challenges are also an issue.
Gujiat, a stubborn man with great potential as a model worker, did not return to his territory until nine o'clock in the morning.
According to Luna, Feihu was so tired that he was foaming at the mouth.
The hunger and fullness level dropped to a pitiful 15 points.
One can imagine how Gurgat squeezed it.
The exact number of Balrog Keys obtained needs to be counted.
Because Gugat not only carried a package on his back, but also had many keys stuffed into the storage compartment of his armor.
Even Feihu had hundreds of them in his mouth.
These are all things that Zong Shende worries about.
When Zong Shen brought Reese Ulysses back to the territory.
The entire territory was completely buzzing with people.
Even outside the lord's fortress, he could hear the faint voices of people coming from two or three kilometers away.
Except for Salome Linyu who was tending the sweet potato fields and those peasant women, there was no one in the entire Lord's Fortress. Neither Mariel nor Luna nor Vereesa was in the fortress.
Even after the blood wolf Gugat returned to the territory, before he had time to rest, Luna recruited some strong men to help them organize the received warriors.
Bringing back so many resources and people overnight will really require heroic talents like them to be busy for a while.
"call…"
"The territory seems to have never been so lively."
Zong Shen shook his head and sighed softly.
He woke up Rhys Ulysses and asked her to flash back to her room to rest.
Then he jumped off Xiao Heizi's back.
When I was about to enter the fort and go back to my room to rest for an hour.
The little guy behind him began to protest.
"I'm hungry…"
“Is there any big sour catfish?”
"..."
Zong Shen turned around and looked at it speechlessly.
He tilted his head and thought for a while, then pointed towards the south.
"Fly back to the Poison Swamp yourself and have a meal."
"I don't have any big catfish here."
"I'll wake up within an hour hoping to see you staying in the yard."
This kind of heavy-flavor delicacy can only be found in Poison Marsh.
There are food reserves in the Poisonous Mist Swamp, so let the little black dragon handle it by himself.
In order to prevent it from running around and causing commotion, Zong Shen restricted its return within one hour.
"snort!"
After snorting softly, the little black dragon unfolded its black wings and flew towards the south.
Zong Shen watched the little black dragon fly away, smiled, and returned directly to the room.
[Energy Spring] can restore some physical strength, but it cannot completely replace sleep.
Sleep is the most effective way to recover. Even sleeping for an hour will make his condition much better.
Zong Shen took off his armor, lay carelessly on the bed, and soon fell into a dream.
…
In the farming and pastoral area of the territory, Mariel and Howie looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the mountains of resources.
They were followed by the deputy in charge of internal affairs.
There were red bloodshot eyes in everyone's eyes.
It was enough to prove that they didn't have any rest for the whole night.
However, Mariel still had a faint expression of excitement on her face.
Even Howie is very motivated.
"With so many resources, you don't have to worry about the construction of the territory!"
"Perhaps we can start preparations for the construction plan of the central circle city wall."
Mariel said with bright eyes.
Howie on the side nodded in agreement.
"The territory will soon embark on a path of rapid development."
"At this rate, the size of the territory will soon exceed that of Goti Castle."
"I will also share your business and statistics concerns."
Howie said with some emotion.
His talent lies in business planning and material coordination.
Very sensitive to numerical statistics.
Currently, he is in charge of the territory's material statistics.
As for Mariel, she is more like an architectural madman, obsessed with construction and population logistics.
The two of them, plus the heroic talents who joined later, made the logistics and internal affairs of the entire territory run.
"Let's get on with the triage."
"A large number of grass sheds have been built in the open spaces on the edges of agricultural and pastoral areas to industrial areas."
"All resources can be placed in the straw shed first."
“When new infrastructure projects begin, this batch of resources will be consumed first.”
"In addition, the specific amounts of resources and materials must be calculated as soon as possible and handed over to adults for review."
Mariel said vigorously.
She already possesses a mature temperament that transcends her years.
"Okay, do you need to apply to Lord Colby for some Wolf Cavalry to help?"
Howie looked at the supplies piled up into hills and mountains, and turned around and asked.
Mariel nodded.
"of course yes…"
"We still have to use the idle loader mechas and our respective storage compartments."
Howie immediately understood and took out the communication crystal to prepare for contact.
Mariel raised her hand and waved forward.
Behind him, the three fat men with three to four hundred farmers immediately rushed up in a swarm and began to carry resources.
…
At the same time, in the open space outside the living area.
Thousands of people were divided into three groups with different sizes.
They held food in their hands and looked at the situation in the territory in confusion.
In terms of supplies, Mariel and Howie are in charge.
The population here can only be taken care of by Luna, Vereesa, Colby, Doris, and Farvid.
Compared with material sorting, population planning is even more troublesome.
Doris, who had always been impatient, was already two years old.
So busy, they have completed a round of general classification.
The detailed qualification statistics, classification of arms, and classification of heroic talents have not yet been completed.
Most of the population is unruly and neutral.
This is because those heroic talents from Unclaimed Territory have not yet completed their planning.
The command value of these newly received hero-level talents is extremely important and is the key to the successful control of these receiving populations.
The territory's original heroic talents and Zong Shen alone would definitely not be able to consume these thousands of people in one go.
So their task here is no easier than resource organization.
Now Luna, Vereesa, and Colby are responsible for classifying the warriors.
Doris was impatient, so she was asked to manage the heroes brought back from Unclaimed Territory.
Because the number of heroic talents is the smallest compared to farmers and warriors.
Favid is responsible for managing the farmers, and the blood wolf Gugat will help him.
Farmers are the most numerous, but they are also the best managed group.
Compared with the soldiers who muttered and mourned their old masters, the farmers seemed even more heartless.
As long as they were not beaten to death and could still eat, they would be satisfied.
Now Zong Shen has taken over all the unclaimed territories he can take over.
The work here has stabilized.
It is estimated that it will definitely take less than three to five hours to complete.
This does not include the densely packed defensive arrow towers of various levels standing in the open space in the north of the territory.
Most of them are first- and second-order low-level arrow towers, with a small number of third-level arrow towers and a very small number of fourth-level arrow towers.
There are also some messy buildings.
There are thousands of them in total, and they look quite spectacular at first glance.
We are not busy cleaning up these relocated buildings, Mariel will be responsible for them in the past few days.
The deterrent effect of low-level arrow towers against powerful enemies is very limited.
But it still has great value.
They can increase the output density of the defense matrix.
Pour out a dense rain of attacks against the large-scale incoming enemies.
In a sense, the thickness of defense is indirectly equal to the strength of defense.
It is foreseeable that after today, Zong Shen's territory will once again enter a new level.
The total population of the territory is close to 10,000.
Various types of buildings and coverage areas have also been greatly increased.
Now that the money-hungry pretty boy has been conquered, Zong Shen will continue to upgrade his territory in the next step.
It's been a while since I upgraded, and Chen Rui and others behind me have already caught up with their territory level.
At the end of the month, rewards will be calculated in the territory ranking list.
Zong Shen would never let go of this reward.
This time, Zong Shen was prepared to take one step at a time and raise his territory to a level of ten or twenty.
Further improve the coverage of the territory, which will facilitate the management of poisonous fog swamps in the south and mines in the northeast.
At the same time, it is also necessary to speed up the deployment of Dinan Village.
Dinan Village has experienced significant population loss.
Basically, they were recruited by other lords or tricked and deceived.
If Zong Shen doesn't act quickly, Dinan Village will be gradually eaten away by other lords using blunt knives to cut their flesh.
It's not just people from other clans who need people in the region.
Other lords are also frantically harvesting the population in a way that suits them.
This is actually what Aboriginal villages are all about.
If Zong Shen does not annex it in time, other lords will not let it go.
Their methods may be softer, such as what Zong Shen did in Xitano Village, where they gain favorability and the right to recruit villagers by completing tasks.
You can also directly use dinars to recruit workers as hired workers.
The number of recruits for a single lord may be very limited.
But it can't stand up to the large number of lords.
You kidnapped three, he kidnapped five, and when added together, it’s an incredible number.
Moreover, the population of indigenous villages will be lost more and more as time goes by.
Until the lords get together and their strength can compete with the state level.
When that time comes, there will probably be large-scale armed plundering of villages throughout the region.
The strength index of the lords continues to increase, and the targets for plunder will gradually increase.
Including settlements, villages, and then to less developed state cities and strong state cities, and in the end I am afraid that even giant cities will not be spared.
This is the only way for lords to develop rapidly.
In addition, the lords' population acquisition methods need to be supplemented by recruitment rolls.
This is why Zong Shen always believed that sooner or later a full-scale conflict would break out between the lords and the aborigines.
Including those problems hidden among the indigenous people and the mainland.
They will eventually be detonated by force.
The entire continent will be plunged into chaos.
Everything seems to be paving the way for a period of great chaos.
These situations are all within Zong Shen’s predictions.
The development progress that is significantly higher than that of other lords and the information provided by the strategy module give him greater goals and vision.
…
This time Zong Shen slept very soundly.
Everyone was busy dealing with the population and resources brought back from the Unclaimed Territory, so no one woke him up.
According to this sleepiness and trend, Zong Shen would have to sleep until at least the afternoon.
But now, Zong Shen woke up early.
Because twelve o'clock noon has arrived.
White light fills the field of vision unreasonably.
It also woke him up instantly from a deep sleep.
"White light?"
"Is the time-stop state coming?"
Zong Shen quickly realized what was happening.
The white light represents the global time stop, marking the arrival of twelve o'clock at noon and the official end of the heat wave challenge.
[The heat wave challenge officially ends]
[In this stage, you will receive a total of 1800 basic survival points]
[The challenge points redemption mall will be opened and will last for 24 hours]
[The challenge month is coming to an end, and the detailed announcement of the final round of challenges will be released in 5 minutes]
[The timeout will last for 2 minutes]
[After the time stop ends, all environmental effects caused by the little Balrog will be restored]
"Heat Wave Challenge is over!"
Zong Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
This round of challenges is so intensive that sometimes it makes him feel breathless.
But this time it seems to be different from the past.
The detailed announcement of the next round of challenges will be announced in 5 minutes?
This chapter has been completed!
