When Zong Shen walked into the room, Luna was already fast asleep.
He stretched out, leaned over and kissed Luna gently on her forehead.
After becoming pregnant, Luna's perception was no longer as sharp as before, and instead she became lethargic.
Zong Shen didn't know the difference between night elf women's reactions to pregnancy and human women.
The birth of the elves does not entirely rely on sexual mating and maternal childbirth.
The elves in this world also had a rich and wonderful history of civilization evolution in the ancient era.
Now this era, that is, the era of the human kingdom, is coming to an end, and the lords are coming on the scene.
The last era was an era where humans, elves, orcs, goblins, undead and other ethnic groups coexisted. These ethnic groups have not disappeared yet, but have just become supporting characters on the mainland.
Going back further, that is, the last era was when elves, orcs, goblins and other ethnic groups gradually developed and rose.
To put it into detail, it happened before the end of the last era.
The Well of Eternity and the World Tree are the true "mothers" that evolved the entire huge race of elves.
In the ancient era, the night elves were transformed from the dark trolls through the Well of Eternity.
Some time later, the night elves were divided into classes, which became the upper elf and the ordinary night elf.
After that, the end of the last era began, and the night elves split into more branches after the brutal ancient war.
After being transformed by evil energy and invaded by blood-burning demons, the upper elves became "Sats", a kind of sadistic fallen demons with split hooves, shaggy lamb legs, and goat-like horns.
Razor-sharp claws and a long lion tail.
The creator of Satyrs is Xavius, who was once the most trusted advisor to the Night Elf Queen. There are many stories about Xavius possessing a demonic curse that can transform other creatures into "Sats", thereby creating a new
A race of fallen demons.
Before the End of the Age, Xavius provided guidance for the Burning Blood Legion's invasion.
"Sart" also mingled with the Burning Blood Legion and wreaked havoc on the continent with those Burning Blood Demons.
In any case, "Sart" can be regarded as a branch of the elves.
At that time, the nobles of the upper elf were bewitched by the energy of the Well of Eternity, and used the energy to assist the blood-burning demon to open the dimensional portal above the dome. This eventually caused the energy chaos of the Well of Eternity to cause an explosion, causing these upper-class nobles to sink to the bottom of the sea and join forces with them.
The so-called ancient gods signed an agreement to obtain the power of the ancient gods and transformed into "Naga", which is also a branch of the elves.
In addition, there are [Nightfall Elves], [Withered Spells], [Spider Elves], [High Elves], [Syndra], [Blood Elves], [Heartless Ones],
[Salain], [Void Elf], and the [High Elves] headed by Vereesa.
After various coincidences and multiple mutations, the night elves gave birth to complex branches.
There are many branches that already have completely different beliefs and habits, almost a completely new ethnic group.
There are also many people who still retain their ancient beliefs and hug each other for warmth.
If I really wanted to tell the story about the elves in the ancient bygone era in detail, I couldn't finish it even in three days and three nights.
Zong Shen actually didn't know about the above situations of the elves, and he couldn't distract himself from paying attention to these issues for the time being.
Fortunately, Luna is an innocent night elf, so there is no need for him to study so many customs.
Zong Shen put all the armor and equipment into the storage compartment, lay on the bed, closed his eyes and rested.
…
The next day, at around eight o'clock in the morning, when Zong Shenyouyou opened his eyes and woke up, Luna was no longer around.
He stretched out and opened the [Territorial Ranking List] and took a look.
The first place is still himself, and the territory level is LV18.
The second place is Chen Rui, whose territory level is LV15.
The territory levels from third to fifth are all LV13.
Compared with yesterday's ranking, everyone has upgraded.
The average ranking level has increased by 1 to 2 levels.
I don’t know if Chen Rui will advance to the next level today, but Zong Shen always feels that this kid has plans to overtake in a corner.
After all, tomorrow at 12 noon it will be the start of the defense challenge, and it will also be the time for the [territory level ranking] rewards to be settled.
Zong Shen thought for a while and decided to upgrade the territory to two more levels.
It just so happened that he had nothing to do today, and the defense of the territory and the relocation of related buildings were almost completed. It would be better to upgrade two more levels to make him feel more at ease.
Anyway, now he has become the dominant lord in the region.
There are no hostile targets within the scope of the territory upgrade challenge that could threaten him.
Therefore, he can upgrade his territory unscrupulously.
At present, the level difference between Chen Rui and his territory is only three levels, and this gap will be eliminated soon.
As the territory level increases, the difficulty of territory upgrade tasks also increases. The most obvious thing is that the scope of attracting hostile targets has expanded a lot, and each level requires more time.
Zong Shen's task today is very simple. He can take advantage of the morning time to replenish and upgrade his territory.
Then he hurriedly used [Anna's Divination Coin (Special)] to conduct an [Unlucky Divination] at noon. Yesterday, he drew [Big Unlucky] and it was not suitable for unboxing operations.
I'm just looking forward to having another round at noon today.
If he still didn't draw [Big Bad] today, then he would save the treasure chests on hand and open them later. Anyway, with the current strength level of him and the territory, the improvement of this wave of treasure chests is not far behind.
The increase in the overall level of strength has also improved the territory's strength base.
The gain from opening treasure chests is no longer the decisive increase it once was, and can only be used as a supplementary enhancement.
Speaking of which, he experienced a day of being possessed by a [great evil] yesterday, but there was no change at all.
Perhaps it was because he had not opened the box and the strength of the enemies he faced was far different from them, so he did not feel the trouble of reduced luck.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, the effect of [Good Fortune] is very obvious when opening the box. Perhaps the effect of [Good Fortune Divination] is originally reflected in this kind of random events.
Bar.
After Zong Shen got dressed, he casually took out a piece of dry food from the storage compartment and ate it.
Without saying a word, he went directly upstairs to the top of the tallest tower of the Lord's Fortress.
This is not only the commanding heights of the territory but also the absolute center point.
He was here yesterday to carry out territory upgrade tasks.
Zong Shen took out the communication crystal and contacted Vereesa, Luna, San Pang, Mariel, and Howie.
They were ordered to let all the farmers who were working and building outside return to the defensive circle of the territory. The soldiers formed small teams and roamed within one or two kilometers outside the central circle on standby, cooperating with the defensive buildings of the territory to meet the enemy.
In addition, all defense towers such as [Magic Cannon Tower] that cause indiscriminate large-scale damage have their automatic attacks turned off to avoid accidental damage to friendly forces and cause chaos.
It took more than half an hour for a series of orders to be conveyed and implemented.
The larger the territory and the larger the population, the more time it will take to implement the orders issued by Zong Shen. This is a normal situation.
When the size of the territory further expands, a more efficient administrative system and information transmission tools will be needed. Since he has loyalty, Zong Shen is not worried about administrative personnel.
Those heroic talents in charge of logistics and internal affairs will never delay or shirk in this regard.
The functions and systems he wants to optimize are subdivided from the grassroots to the top.
Only after the division of labor can it be clear and professional, thereby improving efficiency in related fields.
Zong Shen has carefully considered these situations and can slowly carry out reforms and explorations when the time comes.
After all the farmers returned to the defensive circle and the soldiers dispersed in small teams, Zong Shen summoned [Territorial Data] with a thought.
[Territory level: LV18]
[City Lord’s Mansion Level: LV8]
[Current expandable range: 19 kilometers in radius, expansion will be successful after completing the land expansion task]
[Click to start the territory upgrade task]
Zong Shen naturally decisively chose to upgrade his territory.
The upgrade mission from territory level LV18 to LV19 will attract 190 hostile targets within a radius of 95 kilometers to come over desperately.
It took more than half an hour before the enemy appeared on the outskirts of the territory.
When Zong Shen was upgrading his territory, he attracted a Calamity Raven Church scout who was passing by on a Frost Raven...
The frost raven has now become the "refrigerator" in the territory. It is responsible for breathing frost air into the cellars where food is stored in the territory every day, turning those cellars into ice cellars.
It can be said that its appearance has improved the shelf life of food in Zongshen's territory by several levels.
Even the church scout chose to join Zong Shen's territory after being imprisoned for a few days.
Now he has become a part of the territory, but because his level is not high, that guy is often responsible for running errands.
From this point of view, it seems that the territory upgrade has also created many "bad relationships".
This wave of hostile targets attracted a total of 190 people, flying in the sky and running on the ground.
If it weren't for the seal at the Bone Burial Ground, the underground marks everywhere would also be in a semi-sealed state.
I'm afraid Zong Shen will encounter a group of ferocious undead spirits emerging from the ground.
The first batch to arrive at Zong Shen's territory were sixteen prairie bulls and a pack of more than sixty prairie wolves.
These beasts are rarely seen in the area, and most of them have become hunting targets and food sources for the lords. It is not easy to attract the beasts this time!
This is also because after the territory level is increased, the scope of attracting hostile targets is further expanded.
It was estimated that there happened to be these wild beasts that had slipped through the net within the range, and they were naturally attracted to them.
To be honest, the attraction mechanism of territory upgrade is still very overbearing.
Most of the prairie bulls are in the ordinary level, and a few are in the elite level.
The strength of those prairie wolf groups is slightly stronger, ranging from blank wolves to elite wolves, and there are even a small number of captain-level prairie wolves. The leader of the wolf king has reached a rare level of strength.
If this kind of strength were placed in Zong Shen's novice stage, he would be an opponent that should not be underestimated.
But now it's completely worth mentioning.
The soldiers didn't even need to take action. The prairie bulls and prairie wolves had just come within a few kilometers of their territory when they encountered ultra-long-distance strikes from the [Giant Crossbow Tower].
These beasts launched a charge without fear of death, leaving a path of corpses behind.
Before they had advanced far, they encountered territorial warriors who were dispersed into small groups moving in this direction and blocking them. Within two or three minutes, all the prairie bulls and prairie wolves were turned into corpses.
The soldiers dragged the carcasses of these beasts back to their territories, and after simple processing, they could be turned into fur raw materials and various meats.
The territory's demand for food has always been great, and it can be said that it has never decreased.
After all, the population of the territory has been in a state of positive growth.
This was especially true until Zong Shen inherited the unclaimed territory, and the population surge turned into food pressure.
Therefore, the current territory will not give up any food.
Wild animals represent fresh meat, which can be converted into food reserves through pickling, drying and refrigeration.
Zong Shen can imagine that the recipe for the territory tonight will definitely be beef bone soup with grilled wolf meat plus one or two fruits or vegetables...
Currently, the territory has a logistics team specifically responsible for cooking, consisting of five or six farmers with cooking experience.
Zong Shen built a professional canteen building a long time ago, which can meet the needs of cooking large pots of rice.
After all, this big pot model is not a long-term solution. He has been planning the free people's reform for a long time, so now he can only make do with it.
The first group of beasts were killed within minutes, and the second group was still on the way and we didn’t know when they would come back.
Zong Shen was not in a hurry and just leaned on the sentry tower and looked at the scenery leisurely.
Even if it has a radius of 190 kilometers, it will take a long time to come over. Everyone in the sect is ready to wait until noon. If a few bandits running on two feet are drawn, it will take a long time for them to come over.
sky…
I think the lord system should also carry out certain screening and have corresponding hatred value priority relationships.
For example, first attract hostile targets that run fast and have mounts, and then attract hostile targets that can fly.
Finally, there are the slow-moving hostile targets.
No one can say for sure about this kind of thing, not even the strategy module.
At most, he can screen out all the targets within the range for you, but a 190-kilometer radius is a land area of 113,354 square kilometers, which is much larger than the 200 kilometers x 200 kilometers of the square lord's arrival area.
There are at least 100,000 hostile targets within this range. It seems that no matter how large the scope of influence of the lords is, there are still many optional hostile targets.
Therefore, Zong Shen is not worried about the territory expansion task itself, and the time required is basically within his calculations.
Anyway, his small goal today is to supplement and upgrade his territory before noon to prevent other lords from overtaking him in the rankings!
