Before the defensive challenge is over, Zong Shen is not going to build a stone house.

There is no need to demolish the existing two-story stone house.

It would also be good to use as a resistance stronghold at that time.

Anyway, there are many buildings in the territory, and a large base can indirectly reduce the damage rate.

He doesn't plan to be idle in the next few days.

The Goblin tribe must be destroyed.

Yesterday, Zong Shen rode a flying tiger, threw a bomb, and used a fifth-level spell scroll to successfully destroy the altar built by the goblins.

This wave of operations alone was enough to keep the goblins busy for a while.

After killing the goblins, you can prepare to explore whether it is the garrison ruins in the northern mountain forest, the altar ruins under the rogue camp, or the ruins of the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance.

In addition, the Azshara sewer ruins under the Poison Mist Swamp also need to be put on the agenda.

The altar under the rogue camp is also an entrance to the sewer.

According to Zong Shen's speculation, perhaps the entrance under the Poison Swamp can be connected to the rogue camp.

But after all, the giant city of Azshara has been abandoned for more than 10,000 years.

The earth's surface has long been transformed, and has undergone significant topographic changes.

Most of the ancient ruins sank underground and were buried under the wind, rain and day after day of soil deposition.

We have to fight the Goblin tribe anyway, and we are destined to collect the fourth [Azshara Elf Key], so there is no need to take chances.

Zong Shen planned to deal with the ruins of the Poison Mist Swamp and the ruins of the rogue camp separately.

These ruins are basically closely related to the ancient elven giant city Azshara.

Theoretically, as long as the lord of this area can receive enough relics, it is equivalent to inheriting Azshara's mantle and inheritance.

The same is true for the lords of other regions. As long as they actively explore the ancient ruins in their respective regions, they can gain something and improve their strength.

Inherit the legacy left by ancient and lost civilizations.

For the lords, this is also a way to increase their strength.

Lords are a kind of fusion.

Whether it is today's aboriginal people or the lost civilization of the last era, they can draw nutrients for development from it. When civilizations with multiple characteristics are blended together, a new civilization will gradually be born.

It's like budding and nurturing.

The all-encompassing nature of the lords gave them fertile ground for the birth of new civilization.

Zong Shen naturally understands this, so he will not let go of any available power to develop his territory.

Whether they are human aboriginals, demons, elves, goblins, dwarves, or even undead and underground creatures such as kobolds and spider web monsters, as well as beast-like monsters such as griffons, giant dragons, and manticores.

As long as it can be used by him, he will not refuse anyone!

He settled his thoughts for a moment, and then opened the [auxiliary props] option.

The types of items available for exchange here are quite diverse.

Including food, clothing, low-level medical supplies, daily consumables, agricultural raw materials, etc.!

The first thing Zong Shen purchased was a 1-point set of cotton and linen clothing.

This thing is really cheap, affordable, reliable and not expensive.

Zong Shen waved his hand and spent 15,000 points to redeem 15,000 sets.

When the time comes, hand it over to Mariel for distribution.

Many of the ownerless farmers brought back were in ragged condition.

Some farmers' hair was pulled into a ball and almost became pulpy.

The stench of sour sweat all over his body was so strong that it was nauseating.

Not every farmer in the territory has the conditions to wash.

In fact, including those lords, they don't care much about farmers, as long as they don't die.

Bathing and changing clothes are a waste.

Moreover, because those farmers were the subjects of the lord, they also experienced the challenges of winter and heat wave.

The change in climate caused their sweat to secrete and dry up again, and then secrete it again after it dries out.

The strong smell of sweat made the entire living area smelly.

Even Luna, who had just arrived, had some sour smell on her body.

Other lords did not deliberately build several bathhouses in their living areas like Zong Shen.

There is also a set of clean cotton and linen clothes on hand for changing and washing, so that the farmers will feel much fresher.

As for those soldiers, their sanitary conditions are much better than those of farmers.

As warriors, even first-level warriors, their status in the hearts of ordinary lords is much higher than that of farmers. Now Zong Shen has brought back so many people.

There are still many problems that need to be solved in the future, and we can't just bring them back and be done with it.

All conditions need to be kept up.

He doesn't know the specific number of people yet, but 15,000 sets of cotton and linen clothing is definitely enough.

There is still some remaining of the 5,000 sets of cotton and linen clothing that were exchanged previously.

This batch of clothes occupies 15 of Zong Shen's personal storage compartments.

He looked up at the weather. It was still a sunny day.

So he simply walked out of the lord's fortress, took out 15,000 sets of cotton and linen clothes and placed them neatly in the open space. It didn't matter even if the few clothes underneath were slightly stained with mud, they could still be worn after being patted down.

After exchanging cotton and linen clothes, Zong Shen still has 306,179 points left!

It didn't even drop below 300,000 points.

After exchanging the clothes, he was going to exchange them for some durable military rations.

This thing is not cheap, but the advantage is that it can be stored for a long time.

Each box of shelf-stable military rations requires 600 points and stores 200 military rations.

Each portion of military food can replenish approximately 60 points of hunger and satiety.

Eating two meals a day is enough to satisfy consumption.

After conversion, the cost of each shelf-stable military ration reaches 3 points. Calculated based on two meals a day, the food cost per person reaches 6 points, which can be exchanged for six sets of cotton and linen clothing.

Of course, there is also cheap food.

For example, 50 points for a bucket of bran scones.

There are 200 pieces of wheat bran cakes in each small bucket, which can restore 30 points of hunger and satiety after consumption.

Without moisture, the storage period is only about two weeks, so it is not suitable for large-scale storage.

But this thing is really cost-effective, and the cost per serving is only 0.25 points.

Based on three meals a day, the food cost for a single person per day is only 0.75 points.

Considering its shelf life, Zong Shen weighed it in his mind.

Finally decided to exchange for 300 barrels of wheat bran scones, so there are 60,000 scones here.

It is enough to feed 20,000 people three times a day, or 5,000 people for four days.

In addition, Zong Shen exchanged 20 boxes of durable military rations, equivalent to 4,000 servings.

According to the standard of two meals a day, 2,000 people can be fed for a whole day.

These shelf-stable military rations have a very long storage period, so Zong Shen prepared to keep them as emergency reserves.

Those wheat bran scones, plus the meat the territory brought back from near the Poison Swamp yesterday, and the original food reserves, should be enough for the entire territory, including the newly joined farmers and warriors, to persist until the defensive challenge is over.

If necessary, you can also ask Howie to go to Bosbon. Anyway, there is a [100-kilometer teleportation array] between the two places, which can quickly travel between them.

As long as Howie has [Hiking Merchant's Emblem] and [Hiking Merchant's Travel Bag] on his body, it will be enough to carry a large amount of supplies back to the territory at once.

After all, Boss State is a state city with a population of hundreds of thousands and a material throughput.

As long as you are willing to spend money, you can purchase a large amount of food.

Of course, this is not a long-term solution.

From now on, we have to rely on the farming plan that Zong Shen has been thinking about and prepared for a long time!

We had been planning for so long, and we were just waiting to start planting after the challenge month was over.

The [Farm Tower], [Stanley Compound Fertilizer], [Sweet Potato Vine], [Large Ranch Plan] in the territory, senior agronomist Salome Lin Yu, and the fertile fields he exchanged and hoarded in advance are actually all for

The arrival of the agricultural era.

With the blessing of various buffs and natural magic, the territory will soon become self-sufficient.
