Chapter 332 Arrangement of backup plan and tunnel infiltration
In addition to the Dragonborn Knights and Dragonborn Rangers, those strong swordsmen, earth mages, and water mages all made Zong Shen very coveted.
Of course, there is also the small team of dragon wizards standing in the front row, constantly waving their staffs to summon dark red dragon flame bombs.
Although Zong Shen could not see their specific attribute information from the projection, with the rich experience he had accumulated over the past few days, he could guess the rank of the soldiers just by looking at their clothes and equipment.
Now he controls the mechanical falcon and can only feel anxious when looking at the projected screen.
As long as a full-scale battle does not break out between the crusade and the church heretics, then he will not have a suitable opportunity to join.
After all, a bottle of [Transformation Potion] can only last for 30 minutes. Even if it is disguised, you have to choose a suitable opportunity.
If we keep fighting like this, we don't know how long it will take to break through the black shield in Odo Village.
Zong Shen observed for a while and saw that the situation at the scene would not change for a while, so he controlled the magical mechanical falcon to fly into the sky and patrolled around Odo Village.
This time he found traces of many lords. These lords gathered in small groups and waited within a range of two to five kilometers near Odo Village.
Just one kilometer further north from where Zong Shen was, there was a group of lords observing Odo Village and Zong Shen.
Their location and terrain are slightly higher than where Zong Shen is.
There is a small river about ten meters wide, flowing from north to south. As it goes south, the river becomes narrower until it becomes a small stream.
This group of lords was located right in the middle of the stream. There were some large rocks on the bank, and they hid behind those rocks.
At first glance, these rocks appear to have been washed down from the mountains upstream during the wet season when rainfall is abundant.
The sources of streams in this plain basically come from the mountains in the north.
Some streams wash rocks from the mountains downstream, where they eventually wash up on the shore.
At this time, these guys were taking advantage of the terrain, secretly looking at Zong Shen, and pointing from time to time, as if they had guessed the identity of the strongest lord in Zong Shen's area.
Good guy, the density of lords near Odo Village is too high. Zong Shen doesn't like to be spied on by others, as this will affect his subsequent actions.
So he stretched out his hand and controlled the mechanical falcon to fly back. Then he took out the small [Stand-in Doll (Purple)] and tied it to the back of the falcon with a strip of cloth. He controlled it to take off again and flew towards
To the east, where Vereesa and the others were staying, they descended to the front of Vereesa.
At the same time, he took out the communication crystal, contacted Vereesa, and asked her to remove the [Stand-in Doll] from the back of the Mechanical Falcon.
Vereesa was instructed to hide the doll in a nearby hidden place, and at the same time, pay attention to see if anyone was peeping around to ensure that the place where the doll was stored was safe and private.
This [Stand-in Doll] was drawn by Zong Shen with his last 500 points in the second round of points drawing.
Being able to change the position of the doll and its body within a radius of ten kilometers is also a life-saving method at critical moments.
After arranging this step, Zong Shen asked the mechanical falcon to return, returned to his side, and put it away.
Judging from the current situation, there is no need to stay here to observe. Zong Shen doesn't like to be watched by other people.
He rode on Bajie and led the team towards the west direction of Odo Village. After the investigation just now, he found that there was no lord stationed in that area, and Zong Shen also remembered an important piece of information there.
The lords in the north who were ambushing behind the rocks on the small river beach hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not choose to follow.
Mainly because I was worried about angering Zong Shen.
In fact, everyone gathered here for the same purpose, all to plot the supplies and population of Odo Village.
Among lords, basic resources are wealth, and the more farmers there are, the more basic resources can be collected every day.
Now in the [Market], most items can be purchased with basic resources.
Population represents basic resources, especially farmers. Each additional person can allow the territory to harvest dozens or hundreds of more basic resources every day. This makes the status of farmers in the eyes of the lord basically similar to that of a money printing machine.
Including Zong Shen also needs farmers very much, but he has a more profound goal.
For him, whether farmers collect basic resources is secondary. What he values more is the accumulation of basic population in the territory.
Only by accumulating enough population can the territory get on the right track of development as soon as possible.
Zong Shen rode on Bajie's back and led the Immortal Lancers and Wolf Cavalry squads from the north to the west of Odo Village. Along the way, he also attracted the vague and searching gazes of some lords who were ambushing around.
Zong Shen didn't care about this, and just hurried on with all his strength, pretending not to let strangers in.
The Lancer team behind him is not a vegetarian. At this stage, absolutely no lord in the area can withstand a charge of the Immortal Lancer team.
Seeing his menacing attitude of keeping away strangers, the other lords also extinguished the little flames in their hearts.
If you say it's other lords, everyone might still be lucky, but who is this man?
This is Zong Shen! The strongest man in the region! He is also the only man among the billions of lords in the entire region who has killed the regional challenge boss.
As long as these lords didn't have an iron head, they wouldn't take the initiative to provoke Zong Shen.
They were just silently observing Zong Shen's movements to see if the regional boss had any hidden discoveries.
When Zong Shen stopped, these people were all disappointed, because the place where he stopped was unremarkable. There were only a few thick old trees standing there that needed two people to surround themselves. It looked featureless.
When Zong Shen arrived at this location, he let the wolf cavalry and the immortal lancers disperse around pretending to be careless, blocking prying eyes from all directions with their tall bodies. l
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He himself walked around these old trees and wandered for more than ten minutes.
Finally, as if he was tired of walking, he sat down on the ground, his figure completely obscured by the cavalry, and out of sight of those prying eyes.
This set of procedures and operations successfully quelled the interest of the peepers.
When they saw that the knights were not moving, they thought that Zong Shen had decided to stay here, so they all looked elsewhere.
At this time, Zong Shen had already hunched over, and with the help of the cavalry's body cover, he quietly came to an old tree, pulled away the weeds and stones hidden on the side of the tree roots, and revealed the hollow
Tree body.
He got inside the tree and removed the simple baffle at his feet, revealing a hole large enough for one person to enter.
Carefully insert your body into the hole and climb down the wall.
After only descending about five meters in total, Zong Shen felt down to earth.
A walkway appeared in front of him, with a height of about 1.5 meters, which could allow an adult man to bend forward.
This is the tunnel of Odo Village, which leads to the village.
The reason why Zong Shen knew the location of this exit was because of a key.
[Odo Village Tunnel Key (Special)].
This was discovered the day before the final challenge when Zong Shen led his team to clean up the crypt monster group and found it among the relics of the lord left behind in a territory destroyed by the monster group. It can be put to use now.
The crusade outside doesn't know how long it will take to break through the black shield. It's still early, it's just after four o'clock in the afternoon and not yet five o'clock.
Instead of waiting outside, it is better to take action first and secretly go to the village to check out the situation.
Zong Shen is not the kind of person who wastes time in one place. A few hours are enough for him to go to the village first to get a feel for the situation.
He bowed forward along the tunnel. The tunnel was dark and poorly built. Zong Shen took out the [Magic Flashlight] and shined it forward.
It took him more than ten minutes to see the end of the corridor.
The black raven dome can only protect the ground part, and the underground part is not covered.
This made Zong Shen couldn't help but think of [Red Gold Barrier Pillar (Gold)].
I wonder if the epic defense building in my own territory can protect the underground part at the same time.
At the end of this tunnel is a gently sloping staircase, which is much wider than the opening in the tree cave.
Zong Shen walked up the steps and reached the end in a few steps. There was a square exit above, but it was locked by a simple metal rune door.
This small door is the entrance to the tunnel in the village. There are keyholes on both sides. Zong Shen took out the [Odo Village Tunnel Key], inserted it into the keyhole, held his breath, and slowed down to unscrew the keyhole.
"Crack!"
With the crisp sound of unlocking, Zong Shen pushed open the small square door above his head. He could feel some resistance, and there seemed to be some covering objects pressed on top of the small door.
This made him more careful. Now that his strength attribute was very high, he would make noise if he wasn't careful.
The small square door was pushed open, and the debris piled above was dumped to one side, making a slight sound. Fortunately, Zong Shen's movements were gentle enough, and the overall sound was not loud.
Turning off the [Magic Flashlight], he slowly poked his head out.
The surrounding environment was a little dark, and Zong Shen could only see the hay shed above his head, and the stench of defecation continued to come from the side.
This seems to be a relatively closed minimal space.
There was nothing out of the ordinary, and there were no church members around.
He no longer hesitated and got out boldly, only to find that the location he was in was actually a dark thatched shed.
There were partitions separated by wooden boards on the side. The stench came from the partitions on the side, and Zong Shen finally understood where he was.
The villagers of Odo Village were so smart that they placed the tunnel entrance next to the toilet in the village and disguised it as an abandoned toilet.
The three walls here were piled with straw. The small wooden door in front of him seemed to be blocked by something from the outside. Zong Shen gently pushed open the door crack and looked outside.
The village is not dark. The black dome is one-way, only preventing external prying eyes, but does not affect the internal view of the outside world.
The location here is very remote, next to rows of slightly old huts.
My eyes moved left and right, but I didn't see the patrolling church soldiers.
This is normal. After all, there is such a black turtle shell shrouding it. Who would have thought that there is a tunnel hidden next to the toilet in Odo Village?
The most important point is that the current Odo Village is obviously tight on the outside and loose on the inside. Hundreds of church soldiers simply cannot take care of patrolling the entire village.
It is not so strict that even the toilets in the village must be monitored.
There is also a bundle of straw piled outside the door of this disguised toilet.
Most of the villages here grow wheat as the main food crop, so piles of straw can be seen almost everywhere.
Gently pushing open the rotten wooden door, Zong Shen left the disguised toilet and began to observe the surrounding environment.
At this time, most of the functions of the strategy module are dormant. Otherwise, Zong Shen could have the module mark the locations of nearby church soldiers, but now he can only slowly explore on his own.
He closed the rotten wooden door and replaced the bundle of straw holding it down.
This is on the edge of the village, close to the northwest, and outside the row of dilapidated cabins is the edge of the black shield.
As long as you head southeast, you can reach the village.
There is a three-way path ahead, surrounded by two-story houses in the village. This location is just right.
Zong Shen observed carefully while walking forward. Standing in the three-way path, Zong Shen chose to go left. This direction corresponded to the east of Odo Village.
Now that the temporary position of the crusade is built to the west of Odo Village, the church's main attention must also be focused on the west of the village.
After all, a crusade with six to seven hundred warriors is not a weak force. No matter how confident the church is, it will attract most of its attention.
Based on this principle, Zong Shen chose this direction. After all, this time he was just exploring first to take a look at the situation in the village. Only by knowing what was going on in the village could he be calm and efficient when taking advantage of the situation.
Walking along the path to the left, Zong Shen tiptoed, very careful, for fear of making the slightest sound.
There were villages on both sides of the path, but there was nothing special about it. He had to get out of the path as soon as possible, onto the main road in the village, and then gradually move towards the center of the village from the left.
When he sneaked into the village to steal mithril, he noticed that the main functional buildings in the village were all near the square in the center of the village, including the [Raven Tower] built by the Calamity Raven Church.
As for these dwellings, they are of little exploratory value. At most, they can find some small money, food, and clothing. Even if they search through every room, they still won't find many good things.
His targets were the warehouses in the village, as well as the campsites of traveling merchants and the places in the village where the sharecropping tax was stored.
Although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, to Zong Shen, this Aoduo Village still has some wealth.
