Chapter 386: Trekking through the night, returning to the territory

At least this time, I only rested for about fifteen minutes.

Those mounts became lively and vigorous again.

However, this extravagant approach still made Zong Shen feel a little pained.

Although he also had some Luna Spring water on hand.

But 200 ml of Luna Spring is not a small amount.

At least in the [market], you can still get considerable basic resources.

The effect of Luna Spring is unparalleled among its kind.

One water has three effects, it can heal injuries, restore health, magic and energy.

It's something that can really be used to save lives.

Especially in the heat of battle.

Its instant replenishing characteristics give it advantages that ordinary healing medicines do not have.

However, special treatment is given during this special period, which can save some time.

Next, these mounts need to be overloaded with trekking.

What is the purpose of accumulating wealth?

It’s not just for the flowers!

After the mounts had rested, Zong Shen set off again without stopping.

He couldn't wait to return to his territory.

This trip to Bosbon was full of rewards.

There are still many rewards that need to be counted, and many preparations before the challenge need to be implemented.

Including the fourth-level city lord's mansion upgrade certificate, which can also be used immediately.

Let the Lord's courtyard be upgraded to a higher level again.

Legion affairs and cold-weather supplies all need to be dealt with.

Also, those territorial buildings must be temporarily reinforced to keep out the cold.

For example, build several wind-blocking walls in several directions where the building is distributed.

Used to reduce the impact of gusty winds and snowstorms.

Especially in the living area, those second-story houses and third-story stone houses are exposed to snowstorms or strong winds.

It is very likely to cause some damage to the sturdiness of the building itself.

The relocation of the building is necessary, as is the necessary defensive reinforcement.

Anyway, buildings can be moved freely, and ultimately there will be no waste.

Zong Shen can completely use the first-order city wall to protect various buildings.

With the current financial resources of the territory, it can be easily constructed.

We haven't seen each other for nearly two days, and Zong Shen is still looking forward to the changes in the territory.

He still has some drawings on hand that have not yet been completed.

Such as [Medium Bathhouse], [Second Level Kitchen], [Aqueduct], [Basic Alchemy Workshop], [Second Level Light Crossbow Barracks], [First Level Medical Center], [Second Level Stables], [Giant Wolf's Lair]

, [Nord Tier 2 Infantry Battalion], [Dragonborn Ranger Barracks] and other construction drawings.

At first it was not built because of insufficient materials on hand.

Now the logistics infrastructure has been handed over to Mariel.

The territory's material reserves and wealth level have also made great progress during this period.

Especially during the Crypt Challenge, Zong Shen almost never carried out large-scale construction work.

During this period, the territory's development and savings have been able to withstand the consumption of third-level buildings.

The same goes for other fancy constructions.

Most of the materials can be collected through the [Market].

Zong Shen previously lacked time and manpower.

But now the whole situation is completely different.

Mariel goes to the [Market] almost every day.

In the previous period, a lot of urgently needed materials have been exchanged.

Ensuring the circulation rate and exchange of materials is also very important.

After they return, this task will fall on Howie.

This is also a form of accumulation.

Complete the most appropriate things at the most appropriate time.

Only in this way will it not impose a burden on the normal development of the territory.

Zong Shen rode Bajie and led the team to run against the wind in the night.

The cold wind was biting and blowing from west to east.

This is a precursor to the coming of winter, and as the official arrival begins, it becomes more and more obvious.

When we get up early, the temperature can still stay above zero.

Now facing the howling cold wind, Zong Shen was able to realize that the surrounding temperature had dropped rapidly.

It feels like riding a motorcycle and enjoying the breeze in early spring.

Fortunately, everyone's physical attributes are very strong, so this temperature change is nothing.

It’s just that Howie and Felix, mother and son, need to wear sheepskin jackets.

Their bodies are relatively weaker.

Felix's eyes widened as he sat on the Immortal Lancer's horse.

The moment he swore to join Zong Shen's command, he knew a lot of information.

At the same time, the weather also changed immediately.

At this time, his mother was curling her head into the collar of her sheepskin coat.

He tried his best to hide behind the Immortal Lancer.

This long journey was a difficult journey for them.

However, they have joined Zong Shen's command, which is like boarding a pirate ship.

It was easier to get on the ship than to get off. No matter what kind of monster Zong Shen was, they had no choice.

It was dark at night, and driving under the cold wind seemed somewhat desolate.

This is not a special area like a desert area.

Even at night, you can still see some villagers pushing wheelbarrows passing by in twos and threes.

They held torches for lighting, and in Zong Shen's eyes they were like fireflies.

From far to near, from blur to clear.

Some traveling merchants were also driving ox-carts, and the carriages were moving through the night.

After night, the flow of people on the entire dirt commercial road is obviously lower than during the day.

Zong Shen hurried on without any distractions and did not stop in any village.

I just found a roadside open space to rest once in the middle.

On average, it took more than three hours for Bajie and the others to rest.

This saves a lot of time on the road.

They finally arrived at the outskirts of the territory at around one o'clock in the morning.

The territory was completely dark, with no light emitting at all.

They came from east to west, and there was a defense matrix just outside the territory in this direction.

The defense matrix at each location adopts a four-link approach.

The outermost is a matrix composed of three-order arrow towers.

Within minutes after they entered the territory.

The patrol troops in the territory rushed over.

Tonight's patrol happened to be a group of Wolf Riders, led by Colby himself.

"Huh?"

"Sir, you are back!"

The Wolf Cavalry team quickly approached and soon saw Zong Shen.

Colby enthusiastically rode a warg to Zong Shen and bowed to express his greetings.

Zong Shen nodded, but he did not take off his helmet.

Although the journey made him feel a little tired, he saw his familiar subordinates again.

It still made him feel happy.

"We're back."

"Colby, will you patrol tonight?"

Zong Shen asked casually, his eyes scanning the wolf cavalry soldiers.

Colby nodded respectfully.

"Yes, sir, each of the three teams of Wolf Cavalry is responsible for eight hours of daily patrol."

"Now the territory's defense matrix has been formed."

"Every direction is covered by the defense matrix of the corresponding area."

"The patrol pressure in the territory is not too great."

Zong Shen listened to Colby reporting the information, but his eyes glanced back and forth at the backs of the wolf-riding warriors.

He could see that the wargs behind them were more or less carrying some prey on their backs.

They are all common creatures around the territory, such as prairie wolves, prairie bulls, and prairie spur pigs.

These prey are very fresh and still dripping with blood.

Drops of blood dripped from the end onto the ground.

Some prey have black arrows stuck in their bodies, and some have huge tear-shaped gaps.

The fur of some prey animals is in a scorched state, with traces of lightning strikes.

This made Zong Shen, who had just returned, a little confused.

Colby consciously walked beside Zong Shen.

The rest of the wolf cavalry were also scattered to both sides of the team.

Guard them as they move toward the center of the territory.

The light at night was too dim, and Zong Shen could only see many new buildings on the periphery of the territory.

Those epic buildings and incomplete wonders were also built.

It stands behind the original central inner city and can be regarded as the core area of ​​the territory.

They move at a height of hundreds of meters, allowing Zong Shen to see their shapes even from a kilometer away.

It seems that the building relocation and new phase construction of the territory have been completed.

To be specific, we need to wait until dawn tomorrow morning to review it.

Zong Shen retracted his increasingly far-sighted gaze and turned to look at Colby, who was one position behind him.

"Colby, did you hunt those prey behind the warg?

He naturally asked the question in his mind.

But Colby shook his head gently.

"Sir, these are all after entering the attack range of the defense tower matrix."

"The beast killed by those defense towers."

"We just took advantage of the patrol time to collect them all."

"Although the territory is not short of food now."

"But it's also good to have more reserves."

Colby's words are well-founded and he is sincerely thinking about the territory.

"You guys did a great job!"

"Winter is coming, and food issues are indeed very important."

"More food means more security."

Zong Shen said without hesitation of praise that in fact his focus was not on these prey.

It's about the changes shown by Colby.

Compare that to Colby when he was just recruited.

He is now smarter and more flexible than he was at the beginning.

In short, the subjective initiative has been greatly improved.

Especially after Zong Shen entrusted him with the important task of commanding the Wolf Cavalry.

This change becomes even more obvious.

You must know that the original Colby was equally brave and fearless.

But it is obviously not as flexible as it is now.

This is a good sign and once again confirms Zong Shen's previous conjecture.

That is, as time goes by, the citizens will change their functions and accumulate various experiences.

Gain better comprehensive capabilities.

Not only Zong Shen has grown and improved significantly these days.

Even the men who first followed him have made great progress.

Zong Shen did not disturb the rest of the other subjects.

After all, it was late at night, and he was not a pedantic formalist.

Not like those pretentious nobles among the aborigines.

He didn't have any mission plans tonight, he would wait until dawn to discuss everything.

Now we only need to wake up Mariel and let her and Howie sort out the supplies brought back from Bosbon.

Then you can have a good rest tonight.

The rest will be dealt with step by step tomorrow morning.

Zong Shen led the team, accompanied by a team of wolf cavalry, into the inner city surrounded by a simple first-order city wall.

Compared with before they left, this place seemed much empty.

There is a refreshing and refreshing feeling.

Except for the basic fertile fields, the rest of the buildings have been moved out.

However, it makes no sense to relocate these fertile fields or not.

When winter arrives, the bone-chilling cold will take away all the vitality of these crops.

Everyone stopped in the open space outside the lord's courtyard.

Zong Shen patted Bajie on the head and nimbly turned over and got down to the ground.

He took off his battle helmet and put it into the storage compartment.

He walked straight into the small courtyard, came to the door of the lord's small building, and prepared to go upstairs to find Mariel.

Before he even set foot on the stairs, he alerted the two sisters Madeleine and Marpel who lived on the first floor.

As dragonborn rangers, their perception abilities are excellent.

When they opened the door and saw Zong Shen on the stairs, they couldn't help showing happy expressions.

"Shh, everyone is sleeping."

"Don't disturb other people's rest."

Before they could speak, Zong Shen raised a finger to his lips.

The two Ranger sisters nodded and stood obediently at the door of the room.

There was a look of expectation on their faces.

Zong Shen grinned, took two steps back and went down the stairs.

He walked towards the two Marpel sisters, opened his arms, and gave each of them a small hug.

Because the armor was covered with dust and stains, Zong Shen held it very carefully.

"Okay, you guys go to bed quickly."

"I'm going to find Mariel to sort out the supplies."

Zong Shen moved his hands together and rubbed the heads of the two sisters.

The two Ranger sisters nodded slightly shyly, just as Zong Shen was about to turn around.

"Boo~"

They leaned in one on the left and the other on the right, and kissed him on the left and right cheeks.

Then he ran into the room without looking back and closed the door.

In the same place, Zong Shen felt the traces of lips on his cheeks, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Speaking of which, the two sisters Mapel and Madeleine can be regarded as Zong Shen’s early team members.

The two women's loyalty to him has already reached its full value.

We have gone through many battles together.

However, the two sisters usually behave very restrained.

Those feelings didn't get the chance to catch fire.

Even though they are usually very restrained, after experiencing a short separation.

Some feelings were still revealed uncontrollably.

Zong Shen touched his face and walked towards the steps with a smile.

There are many female citizens in the territory now.

But not all female subjects will develop feelings for Zong Shen after becoming loyal to Max.

There are many factors at the forefront of this.

Such as the length of contact and the character of the subjects.

If you go through a lot of life-and-death battles, it's easier to create sparks.

Of course, according to the urine of loyalty, under the condition of full value.

If Zong Shen wanted to use force, no one would refuse.
