Chapter 305: Multi-faceted preparations, final arrival point confirmation
In addition to fruits, grains, and meat, there are also two baskets of carrots and four baskets of Chinese cabbage.
This purchase volume is several times that of Zong Shen’s last purchase.
This is not all yet, there are still some supplies that Mariel has put into the storage compartment.
After the two loader mechas came to a stop, the Wolf Cavalry began to unload the cargo, and Mariel herself was also unloading the cargo from the storage compartment.
First there were four large barrels of [rum], a total of two hundred pairs of woolen boots and woolen leggings, as well as a dozen small heaters and a dozen copper kettles.
These small heaters can burn wood or pine oil blocks. They can be used not only for heating but also for heating hot water. They are considered a dual-purpose device to keep out the cold.
There are not many of this type of heater in Citano Village, and given the climate here it is rarely used. Mariel used Mr. Mars's connections to collect it in the village.
Including those woolen products, they would have been bought by traveling merchants and eventually sold to the northern ice fields, but now they are all covered by Mariel.
These materials take up a lot of storage compartments, especially those heaters. They are all second-hand goods and have different wear and tear. Even the shapes and sizes are different. They are not uniform specifications and styles. When they are stored, they cannot be stacked and stored, occupying a lot of space.
There are many storage compartments.
Mariel took out all the supplies in the open space, and Zong Shen looked very satisfied.
This purchase is basically in line with Zong Shen's previous expectations. Despite Mariel's young age, the progress is still very fast.
At this time, Mariel walked towards Zong Shen and bowed to him.
"Sir, all the supplies have been purchased according to your instructions."
"I have purchased all the sheepskin reserves in Sitano Village."
"In addition, there is a large amount of grain. The eight large barrels of hard bread each contain 150 pieces of hard bread. They can be eaten soaked in water or soup and have a long storage period."
"By the way, sir, I also collected a nice coat for you."
Mariel suddenly smiled sweetly and took out an exquisite fur coat from the storage compartment.
The brown fur is very shiny and thick, and it looks high-end.
It was obviously carefully prepared by Mariel for Zong Shen.
Zong Shen looked at the coat, a smile appeared on his face, and he reached out to take it.
[Exquisite bearskin coat (excellent)]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Body protection: 35]
[Passive skill: Cold resistance (in cold environment, body temperature loss speed is reduced by 40%, freezing resistance is increased by 20%, stiffness resistance is increased by 20%)]
(Wearing it can protect you from the cold and provide some good defense capabilities)
This thing is actually an excellent piece of equipment, just right for winter.
Coupled with the heavy [Benedick's Charge Cloak (Purple)] that Zong Shen had previously obtained from Boswell, keeping out the cold would not be a problem.
"Thank you Mariel, I like this coat very much."
Zong Shen put his coat behind him and walked around in front of Mariel.
“I didn’t expect that there are such good quality fur coats in Citano Village.”
He asked Mariel with some emotion.
But he saw her smiling implicitly, wringing her hands together, and said a little embarrassedly.
"There is no such good fur in the village."
"I got this from my father's closet..."
"He hasn't worn it a few times, and he couldn't wear it in the village, so I just brought it for him."
Zong Shen was slightly stunned when he heard what Marier said.
Good guy, is this the legendary cheating man?
But Mariel always considers it for him, and after all, it is her own family's property.
"Hehe, thank you for your thoughtfulness anyway."
Zong Shen put the coat directly into the storage compartment.
"By the way, sir, this purchase cost a total of 7167 mainland general dinars."
"This is a detailed list of purchases."
Mariel took out a handwritten list and handed it to Zong Shen.
The details, quantity, unit price, and total price of the purchased materials are clearly listed above.
All items are clearly marked and visible at a glance.
Zong Shen took a cursory glance, and after finding that everything was correct, he began to arrange manpower to process these materials into categories.
Those large barrels of hard bread are all sealed in wooden barrels. They are similar to the packaging of the scones and beef jerky that Zong Shen got from the Calamity Raven Church's secret supply point before. Therefore, they can be stored at room temperature. They are all placed in an empty room.
In a folk house.
The unpackaged dried meat, eggs, vegetables, etc. were all put into the temporary ice cellar.
Those small heaters were also piled in the lord's courtyard.
As for the semi-finished sheepskins, those wool products and coats, they were handed over to the second and third wolf cavalry teams along with the coats purchased by Zong Shen from the [market]. They were taken to the creek for cleaning, and then the sheepskins were handed over to
Alanna sewed it into a sheepskin jacket.
Everything is so organized.
By the time all supplies were processed, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
This batch of cold-proof supplies is enough for the entire territory to comfortably spend the coming winter.
There should even be a large amount of cold-warming supplies left over.
At that time, part of the support will be given to the legion members, and part of it will be sold at a high price, which will be enough to recover the capital.
After everything was arranged, everyone went to rest and agreed to gather at the entrance of the courtyard at three o'clock in the morning to deal with the changes in the final challenge.
There is no need to arrange a patrol team today, because there are currently twenty or thirty defense towers in the territory, and a small half of them are fourth-level defense towers. There is no need for a patrol team, and the scattered cave monsters wandering around will not be able to break through.
Everyone can have a comfortable sleep tonight.
There is also rare tranquility in the territory, and the masters all go to the meditation room of the [Magic Palace] to practice meditation.
Luna and Vereesa were bathing under the moonlight, chatting quietly.
Zong Shen himself walked into the lord's courtyard and directly entered the room on the second floor.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Take off all the equipment and prepare to rest.
Lying in bed, his mind was very relaxed. Just before falling asleep, he suddenly felt blessed and thought of something very important. He opened his eyes suddenly and took out the communication crystal.
Dial number 4, which is the number of the communication crystal carried by Tiezhu.
Tiezhu is now leading a scout team to develop in Dinan Village, which was also Zong Shen's previous arrangement.
Just before going to bed, he suddenly remembered that he only asked Mariel to go to Xitano Village to purchase supplies, but ignored the scout team in Dinan Village.
After about ten seconds, the communication crystal was connected.
"Sir, do you have any orders?"
Tie Zhu's voice came from the other end of the communication crystal. There was some noise around him, making his voice unclear.
"Tie Zhu, I have a task to give you."
"Now use the funds you have on hand to purchase a batch of cold-proof materials in Dinan Village."
"All kinds of fur clothing, fur products, heaters, etc. are all needed."
"In addition, purchase a batch of easy-to-preserve food and deliver it to the territory after noon tomorrow."
Zong Shen said in a hurried tone, the more timely the procurement, the better.
"Any supplies to keep out the cold?"
"I understand, sir, I'm going to buy supplies now."
"I will hire a carriage and personally escort the supplies back tomorrow."
Tie Zhu said calmly. He is an old man under Zong Shen and the only confidant who has transformed from a farmer to a warrior.
"Very good, go ahead and do it. See you at noon tomorrow."
"Okay, sir, see you tomorrow at noon."
Zong Shen hung up the communication crystal, and the last big stone in his heart fell to the ground.
With multi-faceted preparations, we should be able to seize enough opportunities.
With this skill, Zong Shen will definitely be able to thrive after the winter arrives, and even make a small fortune. For Zong Shen, the dividends from the challenge must be collected, and the lord's wool must be harvested.
He closed his eyes and fell into sleep peacefully.
…
Overnight, time flew by quickly.
Time came to two forty-five in the morning.
"Sir, it's time to get up."
Luna came to Zong Shen's bedside, stretched out her hand to caress his face, and called softly.
"call……"
Zong Shen opened his eyes, yawned, and then woke up.
From around 8 o'clock in the evening until now, he has rested for six or seven hours, which is considered a very sufficient rest for him.
He put his hand on Luna's hand that was touching his face, and rubbed it lovingly.
Then he got up and put on his equipment.
After everything was properly dressed, Zong Shen and Luna went downstairs together and walked outside the lord's courtyard.
It was pitch black outside, but the breeze was still blowing "whirring" non-stop.
All the soldiers have gathered.
The third fat man began to distribute breakfast, each person had a scone, an egg and half an apple.
In addition, each person was also given a wooden bowl of milk. The milk was produced by the cows in the territorial pasture. The yield was not high. It was distributed because today was the final challenge.
Recalling the first meal of roasted wolf meat that Zong Shen had when he landed, and looking at the scones, eggs, milk, and apples in front of him, he felt a little emotional. Both in terms of variety and quality, a leap had indeed been achieved.
After everyone finished eating and drinking, Zong Shen separated all the wolf cavalry separately, and the other warriors were on standby in the territory.
He will ride Bajie and lead the wolf cavalry to patrol nearby, and judge the location of the regional boss based on the movement of the cave monsters in order to make timely deployment and adjustments.
After everyone had eaten, drank and prepared, it was already 3:27 in the morning.
The communication crystal on Zong Shen's chest suddenly lit up. He looked down and saw that it was Jiang Yi who dialed the number.
Directly choose to connect.
"Lord Zong, I have joined seven nearby legion members."
"More legion members are gathering now."
"We found that the crypt monster seems to be moving in the north direction of your territory."
"My reinforcements will arrive in your territory in about half an hour."
After hearing Jiang Yi's words, Zong Shen quickly replied.
"Okay, I have settled the internal affairs of the territory."
"You can enter from the east or south gate of the territory later. I will go out to investigate now."
"If you find anything else, please let me know."
"Okay Master Zong, take care of yourself."
The two quickly hung up the crystal, and now all the lords in the area have entered friendly mode.
Lords can freely enter and leave the territory. In friendly mode, there is no need to worry about them causing any damage to the territory.
Zong Shen only needs to close private areas such as the lord's courtyard.
After contacting Jiang Yi here, Zong Shen directly rode on Bajie, leading a total of thirty-five wolf cavalry, and set off towards the outside of the territory.
Jiang Yi said before that they saw scattered cave monsters gathering towards the north, so Zong Shen led the wolf cavalry directly from the north gate, carefully avoiding the trenches and roadblocks.
Start looking for scattered traces of crypt monsters. As long as you follow these scattered crypt monsters, you can easily confirm the location of the final boss.
They trekked quickly through the night and soon discovered some scattered cave monsters.
These crypt monsters are gathered in the northwest of the territory, about one kilometer away from the territory.
The scattered monsters were trekking to gather together in the night, and no sign of the arrival of a large-scale monster group was found yet, but the location of the final arrival point has been confirmed.
Sure enough, the final challenge was a test for the strongest in the region. Although the location was within a three-kilometer range, to be honest, it was very targeted to Zong Shen's territory.
It's just a matter of landing directly in the middle of the territory. With just this kilometer distance, the regional challenge boss will definitely be attracted to Zong Shen's territory.
Judging from the location of the final landing point, the main attack direction of the crypt monster group and the regional challenge boss will be the north of the territory, and there may be some overflow monster groups attacking the east of the territory.
The main attack direction has been determined, but there will still be pressure in other directions. Especially after the regional challenge boss appears and the six hours of attacking the territory, the crypt monster groups coming from other directions are likely to directly attack the territory.
Launch an attack on the territory from where you are.
At this time, thousands of scattered monster groups have begun to gather at the final landing point. These are the scattered and newly spawned crypt monsters in the area.
Zong Shen left the Wolf Cavalry on the outside and asked Colby to lead them around, preparing to launch an offensive from the outside at the critical moment.
Zong Shen himself rode Bajie back to his territory.
By the time we returned to the territory, it was already past 4 o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Yi has brought more than a dozen legion members to the territory.
Although the legion has expanded to 21 members, there are still a few members who are not willing to risk their support and just want to survive this challenge safely.
Zong Shen is not surprised by this. I am afraid that most of the lords will choose to stay peacefully in their territories. The crypt challenge has reached its final stage. After so many days of pressure, they no longer want to take risks.
Zong Shen rode Bajie and came directly to Jiang Yi and others.
