Chapter 408: Pleasant winter life, traces of goblins
The face of this armored old man looked very majestic.
After receiving Prince Ayub's instructions, he put his left hand on his chest and bowed in greeting.
Then he left the palace directly.
Prince Ayub and other old men began to discuss.
A passage left by the first Sultan has always been regarded as an ancestral instruction.
It has been passed down in the royal family for generations.
All their children are required to learn a passage from an early age.
Because this passage contains the wisdom of the first sultan.
It is related to the future destiny of the Salander Sultanate.
That's why the female lord was discovered so quickly.
The abnormal behavior they exhibited attracted the attention of the indigenous people almost instantly.
This alarmed Prince Ayub.
At the same time, with the arrival of winter.
Similar scenes occurred across the continent.
Among the billions of lords who survived, there were still a small number of lords who did not complete the preparation of cold-warming supplies in the end.
However, not all kingdoms have left such highly suggestive words as the first sultan of the Salander Sultanate.
However, the strange behavior of the lords still attracted the attention of some indigenous people.
…
None of this has much to do with our clan.
It was after two o'clock in the afternoon, and the heavy snow still did not stop.
It was very quiet in the territory.
Whether they were farmers or soldiers, they were all wrapped in their coats and resting in their own houses.
On the first day of winter, the temperature is about minus 10 degrees Celsius. In closed houses and stone houses, it is enough to withstand this level of cold.
The furnace has not been lit yet, and it is not yet time to light it.
In a previous arrangement, Mariel distributed books on cooking and medicine to two rare-level talented farmers who were interested in them.
This is part of Zongshen’s talent training plan.
In addition, some practitioners who did not get a seat in the meditation room also chose to ask Mariel for books.
Increase your own wisdom attributes by reading books.
This was the first time for the Wolf Cavalry to see heavy snow.
After getting permission from Howie and Doris, Colby led more than forty Wolf Cavalry members to run wildly and play in the heavy snow for a while.
These wild prairie warriors drank from a can of whiteboard-quality spirits.
While taking off his leather armor, he roared an unknown song.
They were naked from the waist up, revealing their strong and well-proportioned muscles.
The skin was red from the cold.
As they ran and the strong alcohol took effect, waves of turbid white heat rose up.
Although this behavior seems a bit nonsensical.
But for the Wolf Cavalry, it is a way to relax.
They are the model workers and soldiers in the territory.
There is no rest for any activity or challenge.
Even if there is no mission to go out to explore and fight, they still need to be grouped into regular patrols.
So Howie and Doris acquiesced in their behavior.
The temperature at this stage is not enough to make them sick from the cold.
After playing for more than half an hour.
The Wolf Cavalry wiped themselves clean, put on their leather armor and warm clothes again, and returned to their respective houses.
Except for the Wolf Cavalry, the other soldiers seemed very calm.
Twelve dragon-turned-gun-and-shield warriors in the territory crowded into a room.
Howie gave them two decks of Avalon's local "Dragon Language Cards".
This is a beautifully drawn chess card with unique rules.
It is very popular in the Kingdom of Avalon and the Kingdom of Nord.
After Howie briefly explained the rules, these sturdy dragon-shaped men were all fascinated by the "Dragon Language Card".
The same goes for other farmers and warriors, who have all kinds of fancy chess and cards for entertainment.
Cheap spirits, and even things like betel leaves and crude tobacco leaves.
These are among the procurement materials Zong Shen requested before.
The quantity purchased is not large, but it can basically satisfy the entertainment of farmers and soldiers during the cold winter.
A large number of the citizens directly chose to sleep where they were.
This does not include the three fat ones.
That kid rushed into the training ground with more than a dozen farmers with rare talents.
An eight-hour daily training began.
Since Zong Shen started the farmer training program.
Sanpang fell in love with the feeling of training.
The current level of the three fat men has reached lv8.
This level would seem a bit ridiculous in front of any professional soldier.
But among farmers, he already stands out from the crowd.
His own four attributes have also been improved by several points.
Speaking of which, San Pang can be regarded as the earliest farmer to follow Zong Shen.
During this period, he also suffered some subtle influences.
He is not as content with the status quo as most farmers.
Compared to other farmers, this guy is a truly motivated player.
All in all, the current situation in Zong Shen's territory is quite peaceful.
Including Zong Shen himself, it was extremely comfortable.
A busy lord is worse than a dog, and a idle lord is the real master.
At this time, Zong Shen was lying lazily on the big bed in the bedroom.
The windows and doors in the room were closed.
Because of the temperature difference between inside and outside, the windows were covered with hazy water vapor.
Zong Shen held Luna in his arms and was covered with a warm [sheepskin quilt].
Although his body is empty.
But I felt the warm jade-like body temperature next to me.
His soul is still very satisfied.
Enjoy the tranquility, laziness and happiness.
Luna leaned on his chest, curled up and breathed slightly.
Like a bird that has found a harbor.
Zong Shen remained motionless, enjoying the wonderful feeling of happiness now.
At this moment, the communication crystal he placed on the bedside table began to vibrate.
Look at the number, it's Vereesa's communication request.
Zong Shen chose to connect.
He said softly in a lowered voice.
"What's wrong Vereesa?"
"Did something happen in the territory?"
After Vereesa completed his instructions, she went to the tailor shop with Mariel to help.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now that I have sent a communication request, I must have discovered something.
Vereesa's calm voice came through the communication crystal.
From Zong Shen's side, you can still hear the whistling wind from her side.
"Sir, there was something strange just now in the northwest, which is the farming and pastoral area of the territory."
"The defense matrix deployed in that direction suddenly launched an attack."
"I explored the position of the defense tower against attack."
"Only several pools of dark green blood were left on the spot."
"I have contacted the living area, and two teams of wolf riders are on their way."
After listening to Vereesa's report, Zong Shen frowned.
"Dark green blood..."
"Maybe it's a goblin."
"Now that they have explored this area."
"There is no doubt that we will be discovered."
"Because we are the largest territory around here."
"Please be safe, I'll come over now."
"In addition, notify Doris to come over."
"I need her help in this weather."
Zong Shen said a little hastily, but his tone was still very soft, for fear of waking up Luna.
But after he hung up the communication crystal, he turned around again.
Luna in her arms has opened her eyes.
He was looking at Zong Shen with his bright eyes.
"Is there something unusual happening in the territory?"
Luna asked softly.
Zong Shen nodded, lowered his head, and kissed Luna gently.
Then he got up with difficulty and left the bed.
Entering Wenwen Village is a kind of enjoyment, and leaving Wenwen Village is a kind of suffering.
Zong Shen quickly put on his battle armor, rabbit fur boots and leggings, and a bearskin coat.
"You should have a good rest Luna."
"I'm going to check on the situation."
Zong Shen said in a gentle tone.
On the bed, Luna sat up and covered her delicate body with the sheepskin quilt.
He nodded obediently.
There is some reluctance and concern in my heart.
Luna and Zong Shen are like lovers who have just entered the honeymoon stage.
I wish I could be together every day.
Especially in this rare moment of leisure.
The separation at this time made her somewhat reluctant to let go.
The same was true for Zong Shen, but no matter how reluctant he was to give up, he still had to go and see the situation.
During this winter challenge, although Zong Shen was not afraid of possible dangers from the outside world.
But the territory is his foundation, the basis for his settlement.
As a lord, he must respond in time.
At the same time, he can also rely on clues left at the scene.
Use your own strategy module to directly grasp the truth of the matter.
He gave Luna a reassuring look.
Then he walked out of the room and closed the door.
Climbing the stairs back to the first floor.
When he pushed open the door of the lord's small building.
I found that there was already a slope of snow at the door.
It looks like it was blown by the wind and piled here.
The outside world has become a white world.
During the two hours he and Luna were entangled.
The snow accumulated in a thick layer.
Take the five steps of the lord's small building as a reference.
At this time, the snow had accumulated from the road to nearly half of the second step.
This means there is at least thirty centimeters of snow outside.
Zong Shen paused at the door for a while, then turned back and closed the door of the small building.
I carefully walked down the steps and stepped into the snow.
Even though Zong Shen was mentally prepared, the feeling of stepping into the air still made him stagger.
After he stood firm, he walked towards the entrance of the small courtyard.
The snow on the ground made walking even more difficult.
Strong winds and blizzards even affected the view.
Zong Shen walked step by step to the open space at the entrance of the small courtyard.
He took out the [Heavy Bearer Mecha] directly.
The double-track structure and better passability make it a useful tool for trekking in the snow.
This thing has a wading depth of 1.65 meters.
There is a height of about one meter from the chassis to the ground.
The driving position is higher and the view is better.
As soon as the huge [Heavy Bearer Mecha] landed on the ground, it collapsed under the weight of the snow.
Zong Shen directly got into the cab and chose to start.
This time, the activation efficiency of [Magic Core] is slower than usual.
Fortunately, the track drive is fine.
Under Zong Shen's control, the wide metal tracks on both sides were driven by the road wheels.
It starts to rub against the ground and crush the snow under the tracks.
Steadyly drive away from the west city gate and head northwest.
At a place about 700 to 800 meters away from the first group of defense matrices in the northwest.
Vereesa stood in the snow wearing a hood and a thick coat.
There were two entire squads of wolf cavalry on the side, looking around cautiously.
All warriors, including Vereesa, are equipped with [Rabbit Fur Overboots] and [Rabbit Fur Leggings].
Even the mount is covered with a sheepskin coat.
Such thermal insulation measures ensure that they can maintain most of their combat effectiveness.
The sound of the crawler tracks rolling along with the movement of the loader mecha was heard.
Everyone came over to welcome him.
Zong Shen stopped the loader mecha in advance.
Slowly walked towards Vereesa and the others.
"grown ups…"
…
Everyone saluted Zong Shen.
Zong Shen just nodded slightly and didn't say much.
He walked forward with clear purpose.
On the snow in front, there were four or five pools of dark green blood.
It is very abrupt on the pure white snow.
You must know that the situations seen by the indigenous people and the lords in the winter challenge are completely different.
The blood has been covered up by the newly fallen snowflakes.
Fifteen minutes passed from Vereesa's announcement to Zong Shen arriving at the scene.
There were no traces left on the snow, except for the blood that had been beaten by the territory's defense towers.
Their tracks will not appear on the snow.
There is no doubt that they should have sneaked in from the northwest of the territory.
And this time it's not just goblin scouts.
At least there is a small group of goblins.
This area is not yet covered by the Eye of True Seeing [Watch Tower].
This means that this is a standard goblin team, not a pure scout team.
After they entered the attack position of the first group of defense matrices in this area.
He was immediately hit mercilessly.
Especially [Elemental Arrow Tower] and [Giant Crossbow Tower], this distance is the time when they show their power.
However, the defense matrix's attack only lasted one round, and the goblin team decisively chose to retreat.
According to the Goblin information Zong Shen learned before.
This shows that there are more intelligent Goblin spellcasters in this Goblin team.
Just like the two goblin teams Zong Shen encountered in the mine.
Each team has a Goblin Shaman in charge.
This is not a good sign.
Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and immediately had a plan.
He must go after this team.
They must not be allowed to return to the tribes in the mountains and forests.
If this team is wiped out, it will only make the Goblin tribe suspicious at best.
This can also gain some buffer time.
But if this team is allowed to return to the tribe.
The next time they meet, Zong Shen will face at least hundreds of Goblin tribe warriors.
They will have an assessment of the strength of Zong Shen's territory.
This is something Zong Shen would never allow to happen.
Although the two sides are in the same area, there will definitely be a battle in the future.
But for Zong Shen, the most appropriate time has not yet come.
