The overall progress and efficiency are much ahead of Zong Shen's previous estimate.
This shows that the entire territory has great potential for construction.
Through this centralized mobilization, it can be seen that Zong Shen's territory already has a deep family background.
Moreover, this round of defense construction, in fact, for the entire territory, is still not to the point where all efforts are needed.
Zong Shen is very satisfied with this. With the current situation of the territory, it will definitely not be a problem to survive the final challenge.
But just surviving the final challenge is not Zong Shen's goal.
How much benefit he can get from the final challenge is his biggest concern.
The final challenge will not start until 6 o'clock in the morning the next day, which is still fourteen or five hours from now.
Three hours in advance, the groups of cave monsters that are wandering around will be attracted.
However, taking into account the time consumed by the journey, Zong Shen estimates that the territory may face the impact of a total of 200,000 to 500,000 cave monsters.
In addition to the crypt monster group, the challenge boss in that area is also worth noting.
Facing a Boss with a total of 50 million health points, if you want to destroy it within 6 hours, you must inflict at least 2315 points of damage to it every second.
This is destined to determine that the regional boss cannot be killed by a single lord.
A certain number of lords must be gathered to attack them together before they can be killed.
This is a very challenging mission, even more difficult than the Crypt Challenge itself.
Therefore, the announcement of the final challenge also mentioned that if you can kill the regional challenge boss in an area, you will be able to obtain special regional rewards.
If Zong Shen could gather thousands of lords to fight side by side, it would really be possible to complete this mission.
But people's hearts are complicated, and everyone has different ideas and calculations. Zong Shen doesn't know how many lords in the area are willing to participate in the boss battle.
There is another problem. The final boss will arrive within a three-kilometer radius. This range is not small. Zong Shen is not sure whether the regional boss will attack his territory. After all, this is just his guess based on the information in the announcement.
If the Boss does not attack his territory, but stays in place, or leads the attracted monster groups to wander around, then that is the real trouble, and the difficulty of attacking the Boss will be greatly increased.
Now Zong Shen can only wait and see what happens. The defense of the territory remains as usual and is prepared for any danger.
Even if something goes wrong in tomorrow's boss battle, Zong Shen has no worries and can take the initiative with his soldiers and the kobold army!
After walking around for a while, Zong Shen had a clearer understanding of the final challenge.
He called Mariel and asked her to supervise everyone. When all the fortifications were arranged, he would let everyone eat and drink, then go back to the residential area to rest, and gather at three in the morning to prepare for the coming challenge.
After three o'clock in the morning, by judging the movement trajectories of the monster groups, you can know the location where the final boss will arrive, and you can also start preparing to receive reinforcements in those areas.
When it comes to reinforcements, the more the better, which can increase the numerical advantage. Even if a lord brings five warriors, if there are a thousand lords coming to support, then including the lord himself, there will be 6,000 reinforcements.
Regardless of whether they are working together or not, as long as the goal is the same, these reinforcements will be very useful.
If Zong Shen had a team of more than thirty people, he would dare to directly attack a group of tens of thousands of cave monsters. If he had thousands of soldiers under his command, he would dare to fight against a group of millions of cave monsters.
What's more, all reinforcements will be forced into friendly mode and cannot attack or harm each other.
This provides an extra layer of protection. This move can make the lords with evil intentions give up the idea of causing harm, and those lords who specially come to support are basically motivated lords who want to get some extra gains in the final challenge.
.
With challenge rewards as a common goal, all the lords who come to support will definitely do their best to face the final challenge together.
This is also a strategic screening of the lord system, ensuring that all lords participating in the final challenge can concentrate on solving the challenge without any distractions.
At the same time, it is also another screening of all lords, gradually widening the gap between conservative lords and aggressive lords.
Zong Shen stood outside the East City Gate, meditating in a daze, feeling that something was not quite right now.
He ended his thinking and looked again at the kobolds, farmers and warriors working outside the territory.
Everyone is doing business as usual and working diligently.
Suddenly, he took off his silver battle helmet and raised his head to look at the sky.
He finally knew what was wrong, it was the weather!
The weather is a little weird this afternoon, cloudy, but it doesn't look like it's going to rain.
It's a kind of gloomy, thick layer of dark clouds, preventing the sunlight from shining down as much as it wants.
This kind of climate is a bit like the sky in late winter that I remember when I was a child.
With a bit of coldness and desolation, this kind of cloudy day is completely different from the cloudy day when it rains.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen began to have a more obvious feeling.
It seems that there is something wrong with the temperature today, it is slightly lower than usual.
The weather when we first landed was like spring. Since the heavy rain at the end of the novice period, the weather has not changed much since then.
Zong Shen's current physical attributes are very high, and accordingly he is much more sensitive to climate changes.
The temperature this afternoon is indeed a little lower than the previous days. The temperature difference is not too big, but it is a bit weird.
He just stood there, and suddenly a breeze began to blow around him. This gust of wind blew from south to north. It was not too violent, but it was continuous, and it made the surrounding temperature drop again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The [Teroka Furious Bear Armor] on his body also began to feel slightly cold in the gust of wind, as did the silver helmet on his head.
Zong Shen listened to the "whirring" of the wind, took off the glove on his right hand, raised it gently, and felt the wind speed and temperature with his palm.
The climate seems to have changed. It was still early summer-like before, and now it is back to spring-like weather again.
The entire climate changes only in these three or four hours in the afternoon.
In the morning, the weather was as clear as usual. Just after noon, after the announcement of the final challenge, dark clouds began to appear in the sky. It was only now that the wind picked up that the whole change became more obvious.
At the end of the novice period, there were also signs of changes in the weather.
But what about the sudden slight cooling and clouds in front of us?
Zong Shen seemed to have grasped some clues and had some bold guesses in his mind. He began to ask the guide prompts to verify whether his guesses were true.
"Is climate change related to the next round of challenges?"
(Yes, winter is coming, and there will be ice and snow disasters, but don’t worry, the real challenge won’t come so soon, these are just some signs)
The strategy tips told Zong Shen the answer. Climate change is indeed related to the next round of challenges, and this time because the omens have appeared, the strategy tips can give Zong Shen a positive answer.
"Winter..."
"Mariel!"
Zong Shen understood something instantly, and he immediately started calling Mariel.
At this time, Mariel happened to be patrolling nearby, supervising everyone's work.
Upon hearing Zong Shen's call, she immediately ran over.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
Zong Shen looked at her with a very serious and solemn expression.
"Mariel, wake up Colby and ask him to lead a team of wolf riders to protect you to the village of Citano."
"In addition, you can bring the dragon-turned-gun-and-shield warriors Katis and Sorenson with you. They will all fly the loader mecha. Let them drive a loader mecha and go with you."
"You have two tasks. The first is to go to the village and recruit villagers. This opportunity only comes once a week, and you can recruit them right now."
"For the second task, I need you to bring enough dinars and ask Mr. Mars to help you purchase a batch of supplies, mainly food and clothing that can keep out the cold. Purchase at least 500 sets."
"If there are not so many cold-proof clothes in the village, then other substitutes are also needed, such as blankets, coats, and woolen sweaters. Price is not an issue, the more the better."
"As for the food, I still buy it according to the list I made when I went shopping last time, but the quantity has to be doubled, and I will buy a big barrel of spirits. The quality doesn't matter, the higher the alcohol, the better."
"Remember to return to the territory before dark and try to avoid fighting along the way."
"In addition, notify the second and third teams of the Wolf Cavalry and ask them to collect water from the creek immediately after completing the construction and fill the water cellar."
"After the others have completed the construction of the fortifications, please rest immediately after eating."
Zong Shen frowned and gave some instructions to Mariel.
Although the village of Sitano does not grow cotton, it does raise a large number of cattle and sheep, and wool is a very good material to keep out the cold. Whether it is a woolen sweater or a woolen jacket, it has a good ability to keep out the cold.
If you are interested in purchasing, you should be able to purchase some.
In addition, Zong Shen also obtained 9 sets of [fur coats to keep out the cold] and 10 [magic heat balls] from the goblin merchant Boswell. These are items they brought back from the northern ice field.
It can come in handy now too.
Zong Shen didn't waste any time and took out two loader mechas and placed them in the open space in front of him.
Mariel understood the importance of the matter from Zong Shen's tone, and immediately nodded seriously.
"Sir, please don't worry, I will take care of it right away."
After saying that, she put the loader mecha into her storage compartment and walked towards the territory.
Colby and Katis were both resting, and she needed to go to the residential area to wake them up.
On the same spot, Zong Shen opened the [Friends and Relatives Channel] and started leaving a message for Zong Ze.
"Aze, stock up on cold-warming supplies as soon as possible. The next challenge is likely to be climate-related."
"Store more clothes and food to meet the challenges that may come."
Zong Shen said briefly, but this time Zong Ze did not reply immediately because he was undergoing the transformation of the arcane heart. After Zong Shen left a good message, he took out the communication crystal and started to contact the communication crystal numbered 8. This is
Jiang Yi’s crystal number.
Almost as soon as the call was made, the other party connected. It was obvious that Jiang Yi attached great importance to Zong Shen's message.
"Hey, Legion Commander, please speak."
Jiang Yi's voice came from the other end of the crystal.
"Jiang Yi, have you noticed any changes in the climate in the region?"
"Prepare cold-proof supplies now. After the final challenge, the climate may change drastically."
Zong Shen said in a somewhat hasty tone, if the next challenge is indeed the arrival of a global winter, then now is the best time to stock up on cold-warming supplies.
If we wait for the system notification to appear before we prepare, I'm afraid it will be too late. Unknown changes in the climate will most likely affect travel, and the prices of corresponding materials in the [market] will inevitably rise.
After hearing Zong Shen's words, Jiang Yi was stunned and did not reply for a while.
However, Zong Shen heard a rush of footsteps coming from the other side of the crystal.
"Huh...the weather is definitely not right."
"There's something wrong with this gust of wind..."
"I understand. I'm going to prepare now. Do you need me to inform the legion members of this news?"
Jiang Yi seemed to have gone out to feel the weather. Although this weather change was a bit abnormal, ordinary people would never have thought that winter was coming if they had not been warned.
Now that Jiang Yi was reminded by Zong Shen, she immediately understood the connection.
Hearing her request, Zong Shen also hesitated.
Now his [Legion of Guides] has 21 people, and Jiang Yi has developed several new members today.
If this news is told to the legion members, it is inevitable that they will not tell it.
For example, you can tell your relatives and friends, or friends in other areas.
In the end, it is very likely that the news will spread.
When Zong Shen asked for strategy tips before, he already knew that the challenge was actually dynamic.
If only he and Jiang Yi knew about it, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Once the news spreads, the nature will be different and the challenge will likely change.
Another point is that Zong Shen has always had a guilty conscience. In this world, the lord system maintains the order of the lords, and can even be said to control all connections, just to allow the lords to grow up according to its arrangements.
Zong Shen's strategy system is equivalent to a plug-in that destroys the balance.
He can just use this plug-in himself. Once his influence expands, Zong Shen may be noticed by the lord system, which will eventually lead to unpredictable consequences.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen shook his head unconsciously.
"Don't tell anyone!"
"Remember, don't tell anyone."'
"Otherwise we will be in big trouble!
"Don't worry about the others, I will support them with some cold-warming supplies when the time comes."
Zong Shen emphasized repeatedly in a serious tone.
