Chapter 805: Coordination before the second round of war
The souls extracted from the corpses of dark orcs and dark raptors will become extraction values.
Different levels of [Complete Soul] can be exchanged through the soul extraction value.
This is equivalent to going through a process and turning it into a trophy that will not be reset when the challenge ends!
"There are still about one-fifth of the corpses left that have not been soul-drained..."
"It should take another 7 to 10 minutes."
Eisen Najit reported the report truthfully and did not dare to have the slightest idea of cheating or concealment.
"Then take action quickly."
"Mr. Mariel should have explained to you the arrangements for soul extraction and exchange."
Zong Shen maintained the dignity of a lord and asked expressionlessly.
The hierarchical relationship within the territory is actually very simple.
As a lord, Zong Shen is the top of the pyramid.
Mariel is the leader in logistics and internal affairs, so when Zong Shen mentions Mariel in front of other subjects, he will also use the title suffix "Sir".
It does not mean that Zong Shen needs to call Sir Mariel, it is just because Mariel is also an adult to other people in the territory.
Of course, there are also levels of hierarchy among adults. The title of "Sir Mariel" is definitely not as good as "Sir Lord".
"Yes, Lady Mariel has already arranged the exchange. Those souls are stored in my portable storage, waiting to be handed over after the extraction is completed."
Eisen Najit quickly replied.
Zong Shen waved his hand, already fully aware of the progress of cleaning up the battlefield on the front line.
"I understand, I will follow up with Mariel later."
The reason why the title here does not add the suffix "adult" to Mariel is because the subjects of the characters here are Zong Shen and Mariel. To Zong Shen, Mariel is naturally not an "adult"!
After investigating what happened on the front line, Zong Shen also breathed a sigh of relief.
The strength value of the [Red Gold Barrier] shield that was lost under the attack of [Unstable Compound] has long been restored.
After the magic bottle is fully applied to the territory, the recovery speed of the [Red Gold Barrier] shield's strength value can be greatly increased. The faster the recovery speed during war, the higher the strength of the shield.
Zong Shen nodded with satisfaction, and then used another [Wandering Stroll] to directly enter the tower of [Commander Tower (orange)].
【Wandering】has also entered a short cooling-off period.
Originally, he wanted to flash directly into the [Command Room], but he found that there was spatial interference there.
Don’t look at it [Commander Tower (orange)] is just a legendary special building.
However, it takes into account many protective functions, which can ensure that the commander sitting in it is in a relatively safe environment and will not be easily penetrated and assassinated by the enemy, and has a good sealing effect.
Just place the [Commander Tower (orange)] in the defense center of the territory.
Anyway, I don’t expect this thing to become a battlefield fortress.
If those dark orcs really come in, it means that the battle has entered another stage.
Zong Shen stood in front of the tower and walked up the five or six steps to the entrance.
Use the lord authority to open the solid fifth-level rune door. After entering the tower, there is a circular staircase along the wall. In fact, this kind of staircase is better than the Z-shaped staircase in that it saves space.
But if you want to get to the command room above the tower, you have to walk up more stairs...
The key point is that there is nothing above the head. What is the use of saving this space? It might as well be a Z-shaped staircase to save trouble.
After Zong Shen walked into the tower, the rune door behind him closed automatically.
The specially treated white spar exudes a bright white light.
He commented first, and then prepared to go down the steps to the command room.
At this moment, Vereesa's voice sounded around.
"Sir, if you want to come up, you can stand by the wall on your right."
"You'll find something there."
Vereesa's voice transmission seemed a bit ethereal in this relatively closed tower, with an ethereal echo.
He raised his head, nodded and smiled, indicating that he understood.
Immediately afterwards, Zong Shen followed the instructions of the strategy module and walked to the right wall.
Here he saw a circular mechanism of the same color as the wall.
"Fancy."
He raised his hand and pressed the switch, confirming that he had the authority to mobilize the building. The ground trembled slightly.
The next second it slowly lifted up, like a special lifting platform.
"Good guy, I'll just install one in the lord's fortress sometime!"
Zong Shen clicked his tongue and thought in his heart.
It was his first time to come to [Commander Tower (orange)]. This slightly fancy architectural feature made him interesting. Such a convenient lifting platform is a good architectural feature.
Now, as the level of the Lord's Mansion increases, the floor height and overall height of the Lord's Fortress are also constantly increasing.
Not counting those guard towers and high towers, the main floor of the fortress alone is increasing.
It’s almost the same as leveling up and adding a new level.
Now the level of his city lord's palace is LV8, and the main level is 8 floors, plus those high towers and foundations.
The commanding height of the Lord's Fortress reaches a height of sixty or seventy meters.
On earth, that would be the level of a twenty-story building.
It would be much more convenient if there was a similar convenient lifting platform.
But Zong Shen can [Wander and Walk], so he doesn't care whether he can climb the stairs or not.
It's just that Luna and the other sisters living in the fortress have to climb the stairs.
It seems that there are not many "residents" in Lord's Fortress today.
Favid and Howie were male territorial citizens with the privilege of settling in the fortress, but they took the initiative to move out after the territory's residential area expanded.
So now living in the fortress, it's still just the girl group.
Zong wanted to share the huge fortress, but strictly speaking, the lord's fortress does have a certain degree of privacy and authority, and is not suitable for too many people to stay.
At most, when life becomes more stable in the future, he can select some decent-looking and younger subjects to serve the lord's fortress. After all, larger manors and castles require maid service.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Zong Shen briefly thought about it, the lifting platform arrived at the [Command Room].
There are three working platforms around, and the [Eyes of True Sight] possessed by the sentry towers placed throughout the territory are also the eyes of [Commander Tower (Orange)].
They project images from all over the territory onto various work platforms.
Vereesa, Mariel, and Howie were sitting on large and comfortable chairs.
All command work can be completed quickly using "commander authority".
This has improved the efficiency of command and deployment work in the territory by at least ten times!
The first one to stand up and salute was Howie, and then Vereesa and Mariel finished issuing orders before standing up.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups…"
They bowed and stood beside their respective work platforms.
"How is the situation? Have everything been arranged?"
Zong Shen looked at Vereesa, Howie and Mariel respectively.
"All soldiers are on standby and the team responsible for cleaning the battlefield has finished."
"The charging team has completed all charging preparations."
"Iron Hand Barenque contacted me just now and said that the first batch of magic bottles will be delivered in half an hour."
Vereesa led the report, and she was responsible for the arrangement of soldiers and personnel in the territory.
Zong Shen smiled at her, and then looked at Mariel.
"All defensive structures are in good condition."
"The wonders of the Thunder Domain are fully charged, and the cooldown of the wonders' effects has been fully restored."
"Logistics has followed your instructions to recover the remains of the dark orcs."
"It is now being stored separately in baggage barrels and stored in a spare cellar."
"Master Iron Hand applied for more manpower to help, and I released a farmer from the cellar shelter to go to the [Machinery Workshop] to assist, mainly with the work of sorting parts."
"The rest of the territory is in normal condition."
Mariel made a report. She was responsible for part of the territory's logistics and the preparation of various defensive buildings.
"Try to meet Tiezi's requirements as much as possible."
"The work it does now is important."
Zong Shen nodded and gave Mariel some advice.
"Your orders will be carried out!"
Mariel lowered his head, and at this moment Zong Shen turned to look at Howie.
The part he is responsible for is basically the same as Mariel, and he needs to take care of part of the logistics and the control of the territory's buildings.
But Haoyi obviously has new news to report to Zong Shen.
"Sir, the casualty results of the outpost battle are out."
"Eleven gryphons were killed and 29 were injured, including 7 elite-level ones, 3 captain-level ones, and 1 commander-level one."
"9 Scorpion-tailed tigers were killed and 21 were injured, including 5 at the elite level, 3 at the captain level, and 1 at the commander level."
"There were no casualties among the supporting troops, and there were no casualties among the remaining troops on standby in the territory."
"However, the Wolf Cavalry, who are responsible for assisting in finishing wounds and cleaning the battlefield, suffered a small number of casualties. According to Lord Colby's latest report, 11 Wolf Cavalry died and 3 were injured."
"The number of injured in the explosion accident in the workshop is still being counted."
"Lord Jeanne has rushed over to help treat the wounded."
"The team of Holy Light Priests also rushed to the scene under the leadership of Lady Aysia."
Howie waved his hand and used the commander's authority to summon a projected image.
Above is where the wounded gathered to rest.
Including those gryphons, manticores, and wargs and wolf cavalry warriors.
They surround Jeanne in the middle, enjoying the continuous healing from the passive effect.
At the same time, Aisia also brought the Holy Light Priest to use [Holy Light Healing] on those with serious injuries.
Everything is in order.
"Very good, continue to keep an eye on the situation throughout the territory."
"Urge Tiezi to seize the time to complete the modification of the usable parts of the dark goblin aircraft."
"Notify the logistics department and distribute the [Voodoo Bullets] obtained by cleaning the battlefield just now to the soldiers on the front line."
"That's a good throwing weapon. We can use it to deal with those dark orcs."
Zong Shen knew what was going on, and gave a final warning, then returned to the original position without any delay, started the lifting platform, and left the [Commander Tower (orange)].
Since the strong tower was in the courtyard of the fortress, he saw Xiao Heizi as soon as he walked out of the rune gate.
At this time, Xiao Heizi was in a daze looking at the frozen eight-bearded catfish piled up like a hill in front of him.
These big catfish were all caught by Zong Shen in advance and frozen in the ice cellar of the cold storage as backup food.
After being in a daze for a while, Xiao Heizi stretched out a paw and tapped the ice on the outside of the big catfish with his longest finger claw, then grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth to bite it.
"Hiss..."
"Crack..."
There was an obscure and unpleasant chewing sound.
It swallowed the catfish into its stomach with a painful expression.
The surrounding temperature becomes slightly cooler due to these large frozen catfish.
Zong Shen took a look and found that Xiao Heizi's hunger and fullness level had also increased to more than 90 points.
However, it was obvious that these frozen large catfish did not suit its appetite, which could be seen from its almost constipated expression.
"Are you full?"
Xiao Heizi performed well in the air battle just now, so Zong Shen also rarely showed a smile to him and took the initiative to say hello.
It uses its strong lower limbs and tail as support to maintain a standing-like position.
The thin black dragon's head does not have as many expressions as humans, but Zong Shen can still detect a hint of "sadness" in its reaction.
"snort!"
It snorted and blew out two long columns of air from its nostrils.
"The frozen giant catfish is extremely unpalatable!"
"I want to eat big marinated catfish!"
"You should..."
"Hmph!"
Watching Zong Shen silently take out the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword (Golden)], Xiao Heizi had ten thousand words in his mind that he didn't know whether to say or not.
The words of complaint came to my mouth, and they were suppressed and swallowed.
Zong Shen held up the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword (Gold)] with a smile, and jumped onto Xiao Heizi's back flexibly.
Stepping on those tough scales and bone sharp corners, he stood on Xiao Heizi's head.
Xiao Heizi's pale yellow vertical pupils turned up, as if he was looking at Zong Shen standing above him, or as if he was rolling his eyes.
Zong Shen just sat down cross-legged, put away the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword (Gold)] and reached out to touch Little Heizi's head covered with scales.
"You can take a rest."
"Recover some mental strength first."
"When this battle is over, I will take you to eat the big sour catfish, and then capture the Black Wing Tyrant to be your wife. Then I will give birth to a litter of pure-blooded black dragon brothers."
Zong Shen said in a calm tone.
Xiao Heizi's heart, which was originally angry and beating violently, gradually calmed down.
It can feel the sincerity in Zong Shen's words.
"snort…"
The nostrils spurted out another column of air, and it slowly leaned down and carefully placed its head on the ground.
The double-layered eyelids slowly closed, and he actually fell asleep obediently.
At the same time, a reminder about Xiao Heizi's favorability change also appeared in front of Zong Shen.
Those words just now increased Xiao Heizi's loyalty by as much as 8 points!
Zong Shen's lips curled up, and the next moment he flashed back to the lord's fortress.
He seems to have mastered the key to taming a dragon, which is sincerity!
Those words just now were indeed spoken from the bottom of my heart, and it seemed that they really touched Xiao Heizi.
