The dead are gone, but the living continue to strengthen themselves.
Zong Shen has difficulty grasping the past and can only embrace the future.
He will never let the tragedies at the end of the last era repeat themselves.
Only by mastering strong enough power can we protect our loved ones, relatives, and subordinates.
After sighing in his heart, he put away the [Skull of the Hungry Dead (Luminous Level 1)] properly.
The current exploration results related to the ruins of the Shadow Poison Assassin League branch only have recruitment scrolls that have not yet been viewed.
Zoe and her party found a total of 259 recruitment scrolls in the ruins, all of which were scouts and assassin warriors from the Shadow Poison Assassin League.
Zong Shen has rich experience. He first collected all the recruitment rolls into storage compartments, and then relied on the automatic classification and storage characteristics of the storage compartments to make statistics.
I quickly became familiar with the recruitment roll I got this time.
I have to say that the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance still has some background.
Although it is not comparable to several major ethnic groups in the previous era, it is still a large force with branches spread across cities in endless continents.
Especially in terms of intelligence, the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance seems to have mastered specialized channels.
His acumen and ability to collect intelligence are top-notch.
This can be seen from the cipher text parchment.
Therefore, the lower level limit of this batch of recruitment rolls is extremely high, and there are no first-level arms at all.
You start with level 2 scout/assassin and go up to level 6.
In this way, high-level scouts can be recruited to fill the talent vacancies in the adventure team.
However, high-level troops tend to be more unruly, so Zong Shen has to personally lead them for a few days, train them, and wait until their loyalty increases before he can be deployed into the adventure team.
After a quick classification, the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance recruitment rolls from level two to level six are as follows:
[Level 2 Black Shadow Assassin Recruitment Volume x66]
The units in these recruitment rolls basically cover all levels of the main force in the Shadow Poison Assassin League.
With the addition of this batch of scout/assassin units, the territory will soon be able to form more than ten complete scout teams.
Scouts cannot become the main force on the battlefield, but they are an indispensable part of the large army.
A scout team with all levels can satisfy the exploration and pursuit of the brigade level.
After all, scouts only need to complete enemy reconnaissance, environmental determination, trap detection and some counter-reconnaissance tasks.
Originally, these things were all handled by Zong Shen to the strategy module.
But as the territory grew larger and larger, he could no longer take every action into account.
Therefore, in his absence, high-level scouts are still needed to assist in starting operations.
Scouts and assassins are two branches of the same main line.
Both have stealth, detection and attack capabilities that meet the corresponding levels.
It's just that scouts focus on detection, while assassins are good at explosive attacks.
The specific differences are reflected in their respective skill systems.
Zong Shen thought for a while and decided to recruit some high-level scouts/assassins to cultivate relationships.
With Colby and himself in charge, even fifth- and sixth-level scouts couldn't make a difference.
As for the scout/assassin units at level 4 and below, we can discuss them later. Anyway, the loyalty of units at these levels is easier to cultivate, so you don’t have to worry too much about anything going wrong.
He plans to promote and strengthen a wave of iron pillars again, and he will be responsible for leading the scout troops.
Tie Zhu's talent is not high, but his loyalty is unquestionable.
As the best-performing one among the original three "silly farmers", his loyalty is almost as much as that of the three fat men, but his talent and diligence are not as good as those of the three fat men.
The third fat man is a hero-level talent who has independently promoted himself, and is also the "Volume King" in the territory.
During the Winter Challenge, that guy insisted on going to the training ground to complete four hours of training, which made his level surpass that of some warriors. He can be considered a "legendary" figure.
As for Tiezhu, he had already been sent to Dinan Village by Zong Shen to prepare for taking over the village.
When winter came, he also sent several carriages of supplies to the territory, and the fact that he was able to successfully take over Dinan Village now was also due to Tie Zhu's contribution.
You must know that Zong Shen basically did not devote any energy to Dinan Village and left all the power to Tiezhu.
With perfect loyalty and being an "old man" in the territory, Zong Shen was naturally willing to promote him.
Letting Tiezhu lead the scout force is at least more reliable than using newly recruited guys.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to recruit on the spot.
Use the "old to lead the new" method to first build up the loyalty of high-level scouts/assassins.
Then let these high-level scouts with sufficient loyalty assist Tiezhu in leading the newly recruited low-level scouts.
This forms a top-down loyalty control system.
After all, Zong Shen cannot cultivate the loyalty of every warrior personally, so he can only give priority to leading a group of high-level warriors.
This is already the most efficient way.
"Okay, you all go back to the territory and rest."
"Here in the portal enclosure, I will personally be responsible for following up."
"In addition, let Howie go to the [Warrior Heroic Soul Tower (Purple)] to awaken the souls of the deceased on a voluntary basis."
Zong Shen ordered loudly.
There is no such thing as reincarnation in the Endless Continent. The soul is a unique existence.
However, after death, under certain conditions, it can be transformed into a ghost, a resentful soul, or a purely neutral soul.
After the soul body erases consciousness, it becomes a white soul.
The soul transformed by [Warrior Heroic Soul Tower (Purple)] can maintain the will of the individual soul.
To be able to maintain self-awareness without becoming a puppet of resentment, it is not a bad thing for those fallen warriors to be transformed into souls.
The transformation process is not one-way. If the soul's will itself is unwilling to be revived, it can also choose to dissipate on its own.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After becoming souls, these warriors will still have the opportunity to fight for their territory. As long as the [Heroic Soul Tower] is not destroyed, his soul will not be damaged and disappear.
Upon hearing this, Zoe and Colby quickly stood up and saluted, slowly excused themselves, and left the temporary city hall in the enclosure.
Zong Shen was the only one left in the temporary city hall.
With his eyes closed, he could still hear the loud noises from the outside world keenly.
The tracks of the magic engineering machinery rolled over the ground, the gasps of the farmers as they moved, the shouts of the internal affairs heroes...
All kinds of sounds were captured by him, and the thoughts in his mind automatically made up a highly accurate restoration picture based on these sound information.
This ability was suddenly mastered when his wisdom attribute broke through the thousand-point mark.
Each of the four major attributes represents a number of physical characteristics, and when combined together they cover the entire physical quality.
Therefore, the improvement of attributes also brings about the improvement of physical fitness.
It's just that this improvement is subtle and not abrupt, so Zong Shen doesn't need to make any extra adjustments.
Moreover, as the base of attribute values continues to be refreshed, attributes with only single digits and tens of digits appear to be ordinary.
After clearing his mind for a while, Zong Shen suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes, which were dim due to mental exhaustion, regained some of their energy.
"Then it's time to recruit some new guys."
He whispered to himself, then waved his hand and took out [Level 5 Shadow Puppet Operator Recruitment Scroll x19], [Level 6 Black Demon Eye Recruitment Scroll x6], [Level 6 Shadow Watcher Recruitment Scroll x4].
Holding the recruitment scroll, Zong Shen disappeared instantly, and the next moment he appeared in an open space a few kilometers outside the portal enclosure.
Because the portal enclosure has special influence among the lords.
Even though he went on a killing spree not long ago and spread his notoriety, lords are still coming one after another.
It's just that these lords didn't dare to approach rashly, they only dared to linger outside the enclosure and watch.
They didn't even dare to gather on a large scale. At most, a dozen lords and their soldiers gathered together to set up camp.
Because of the existence of [Regional Legion], many lords like to act in groups.
[Legion] has a certain degree of binding force and is not as prone to betrayal as it was when the "wild team" was first formed.
There are also a few scattered groups of lords near Zong Shen.
They neither dared to get close nor were willing to leave just like that.
When the flash of blue light appeared in the space, many people discovered what was going on here.
The image of Zong Shen wearing red armor has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Needless to say, the nearby lords all know who is coming!
The sudden appearance of someone from Zong startled these guys.
Some of the lords with poor psychological quality even subconsciously turned around and tried to escape, but were quickly caught by their companions.
They did not cross the line and complied with the rules. There must be no reason for Zong Shen to attack them.
But if you turn around and leave, it will look like you have something wrong with you.
A few more clever lords wanted to take the initiative to say hello to Zong Shen.
The group of lords is full of strange things, and it is not surprising that any situation will occur.
Zong Shen himself did not have so much drama in his mind. He looked around and waved his hands at the lords.
"I'm just here to do some minor errands, don't worry about me."
As soon as these words came out, the lords who wanted to talk stopped immediately.
Those words clearly meant "do not disturb."
Zong Shen didn't have any taboos and at the same time activated the recruitment scroll in his hand.
Each recruitment scroll turned into a ball of spatial singularities and flew to the open space not far away.
The portal transfer was too crowded. Not to mention the farmers who temporarily supported the construction, the compensation for the soldiers provided by the more than 3,000 prisoners alone totaled tens of thousands.
Those soldiers were still forming into formations according to their arms types and gradually moved to the main territory.
So Zong Shen simply used [Wandering Wander] to reach outside the portal enclosure.
With his current power, no lord dares to jump in front of him.
And he doesn't need to avoid the recruitment process.
Compared to the terrifying strength he displayed, summoning some fifth- and sixth-level warriors was not a big deal.
A total of twenty-nine cocoons of light are condensing. They echo the singularity of space, proving that the recruitment roll is also a recruitment from another dimension, but the recruited warriors are in a state of static time.
The time required for recruitment is determined by the warrior level.
The higher the level of the unit, the longer it takes to recruit.
It only takes a few minutes to complete the recruitment process for Tier 3 and Tier 4 troops, but for Tier 5 and Tier 6 troops, it often takes ten to fifteen minutes to wait.
So after Zong Shen activated the recruitment scroll, he looked at the surrounding lords in boredom.
Using the strategy module to gain insight into their origins can be considered a way to pass the time.
When these guys saw Zong Shen scanning them unscrupulously, they suddenly panicked and lowered their heads or smiled awkwardly but politely in front of his gaze.
The gap in strength between the two sides is so great that they seem to be in two different worlds.
Neither can understand each other.
It was already difficult for Zong Shen to understand the thoughts of these ordinary lords.
And they cannot understand the world of the strong.
This generation gap is bottomless.
By observing these lords, Zong Shen found that most of them came from areas ranging from three to four hundred kilometers to one thousand five hundred kilometers away from here.
It took at least a day's trek to get here.
Only in such a large area can such a large number of lords visit intensively.
The lords come and go, and come and go again, one after another without end.
As for those lords who are relatively close to here, they have found out the truth early on. Because the "home" is nearby, they don't dare to take too many risks, unlike the outside lords who are not as courageous.
During the remaining waiting time, Zong Shen twisted his arms and stamped his feet on the spot.
Still bored, he used the nearby big rocks as targets and practiced his boxing skills.
Without equipment, a simple straight punch can burst out with amazing power.
Huge rocks cracked and exploded under his hammer blows.
The flying gravel fell dozens of meters away, and the scene looked like a construction site.
Zong Shen's physical fist was like a pickaxe, smashing an entire boulder to pieces in no time.
"Ten minutes of boredom."
He turned around without interest, blew the dust on his fists, and stared blankly at the light cocoons that were still brewing.
I was just doing it casually to pass the time.
But the surrounding lords were astonished.
Even though everyone's attributes and strength have improved significantly during this period, they still can't crush the giant rock with physical fists like Zong Shen did.
However, in Zong Shen's eyes, there was nothing unusual about his behavior just now.
To use an inappropriate but very apt metaphor, an ant in the ant pile suddenly has the power of an elephant, which makes the other ants astonished.
The shock in other hearts is just like this.
Obviously everyone is human, but Zong Shen's strength is beyond their imagination.
This kind of gap is too big and always catches people off guard.
Even if everyone has some understanding of the power system of Endless Continent, they will still be shocked when they see the gap with their own eyes. After all, they all arrived at the same time.
If it weren't for the rules of the lord system that cannot be exceeded, these guys would even wonder if Zong Shen had arrived a few years earlier!
