After careful consideration and consideration, Zong Shen finally decided to choose the reopening plan provided by [Alternate Option 3].
A real man must not be afraid to reopen!
He didn't know if it would affect the defensive challenges of other lords after he reopened it, but this was not something that someone in his sect needed to consider, and he believed that even if there were problems, the lord system could solve them satisfactorily.
"The decision is yours, life...bah...this challenge will be restarted!"
Zong Shen felt a little inexplicably excited for some reason. After deciding on the alternate options, he didn't hesitate much and just made a decisive decision. If he wanted to reopen, he had to reopen it!
As his thoughts were confirmed, new prompts appeared.
【Selection completed】
[Alternate Choice 3: Challenge Restarts]
[Restarting the challenge for you]
…
After the subtitles appeared, everything in front of Zong Shen disappeared and became silent in the endless darkness.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when his sight returned again, he had already appeared on the tower of the Lord's Fortress, standing by the tower and looking into the distance.
It's just that the scene in the distance is very blurry, like a closed-circuit TV with poor signal that keeps flashing inexplicable lines.
[Territory retrospect simulation completed]
[Current status, challenge countdown 23:45:00]
[The fog of war state is under construction]
【Shadow laying】
[The replica is being released]
[The time-space line continues to be corrected]
[The causal derivation template is being applied. As long as there is no additional impact from your actions, the dark orc side in this challenge will have a 99.9999...% derivation probability that will evolve according to the situation and strategy of the previous game]
[The rules are being consolidated]
[Field Level Strength: Dimensional World]
[Due to the resumption of this challenge, the defense challenge timeline has been partially disrupted, and the final settlement time for all rewards will be delayed by 12 hours. The specific information will be subject to the notice after the challenge ends]
[After laying is completed, the time stop will end in 30 seconds]
…
Zong Shen looked at the reminder floating in front of him, thoughtfully, and the thirty seconds passed quickly.
All the prompts disappeared, and the restraints similar to the time-stop effect completely disappeared.
The countdown above my head at this moment is exactly what the prompt says, it is exactly [23:45:00].
This period of time is when the Dark Orcs invest their troops and camps.
The surrounding area is shrouded in thick fog of war.
Mariel, Howie, and Vereesa are sitting in the [Commander Tower (orange)]. Based on various intelligence, Mariel will try to send out scouts.
But now that Zong Shen has experienced the reopening, he can omit some redundant steps to obtain information.
He leaned against the tower and took out the [Communication Crystal] as the breeze blew through the territory and dialed the number of the crystal that Vereesa carried.
The communication was quickly connected, Vereesa's clear voice came through, and Howie and Mariel's reports could also be vaguely heard.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
She asked concisely and concisely, still so vigorous and resolute, without any sloppiness.
"Contact Reese Ulysses immediately and ask her to bring you here. I have something important to explain to you!"
"In addition, tell the front line not to send any scout troops. It is not necessary. I have obtained the corresponding information. I will personally go to the command room later, and you have other important things to do!"
"I understand, sir!"
After a simple exchange, Zong Shen hung up the [Communication Crystal], and about three or four minutes passed.
Blue light shone on the top of the tallest tower of the Lord's Fortress, and the advanced space mage Ris Ulysses appeared next to Zong Shen with Vereesa.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups…!"
Two greetings came one after another.
After Riss Ulysses advanced her talent, her attitude toward Zong Shen became much better, and her lifespan was also increased. However, her aging appearance was not alleviated, but she was able to better perform her duties as a "worker" in the space.
.
"Vereesa, when the countdown reaches below 23:00:00, the attacker's preparation phase will end and the fog of war will dissipate. At that time, I need you to go to the south of the territory."
"There is an island in the middle of the lake. Sneak into the bottom of the lake and help me get this thing!"
As he spoke, he took out the frozen [Arcane Crystal Shard of the Beginning] from the storage compartment.
Zong Shen chose to restart, but all the items he got from the previous challenge were retained, including [The Beginning Arcane Crystal Shard]. As long as he gets another shard in this game, he will have three in his hand.
The fragments are ready for use.
Vereesa glanced at the arcane crystal fragments in the ice, and then nodded.
Based on the timeline and circumstances known to Zong Shen.
It is currently still in the [offensive side preparation] stage where neither side can leave the camp to carry out operations.
The so-called preparation is actually some sorting out work after the launch. When the countdown drops below 23:00:00, it will be time for the three major clans of Demon Blood, Black Muscle, and Red Bone to send out test troops.
He had to stay and stay in order to annihilate this wave of forward troops faster and better. At the same time, Vereesa could go to the dark lake on her own.
According to Zong Shen's knowledge, the [Mirror Shadow Demon Scouts] lurking in that lake were all arranged later.
The Blackwater Swordmaster Lilfire Calrig is very scheming, and his initial layout is quite extensive. He sends scout teams all over his own territory as well as the camps of other clans.
Therefore, Vereesa has a certain time lag to retrieve the [Inception Arcane Crystal Shard] before the [Mirror Shadow Demon Scout] team establishes a hidden outpost there.
Zong Shen, who has three [Inception Arcane Crystal Shards], and the strength of the dark orcs remains unchanged from the previous round, even if he does not unblock [Solomon's Forbidden Plate], he can release the great demon Artorius to attack the fire.
·It doesn’t matter if Calrig and Mogroga Black Muscle are shackles.
With the power of the arcane crystal fragments, he can easily destroy the living power of the dark orcs.
This is not a difficult thing for someone.
After receiving the order, Vereesa bowed to indicate that she understood.
"By the way, let Reese Ulysses take you there."
Zong Shen added, then looked at Reese herself, and took out a few excellent-level [Magic Crystals (Blue)] from his storage compartment and threw them at her.
"Rise, these are for you as extra magic power reserves. Make sure you go back as soon as possible."
"If you find any danger, return immediately. Don't fight where you are. All situations are waiting for me to make a decision!"
Zong Shen said this last sentence to Vereesa and Rhys Ulysses at the same time.
The two nodded solemnly, they both understood that this task arranged by the lord must be very important.
After he finished explaining, he looked up at the countdown clock above again. He estimated that the time left was still enough for Vereesa to do something, so he explained again.
"By the way, let's set off and mobilize 500 farmers to go to the machine shop to assist Iron Hand Barenque."
"By the way, tell that guy that he'll be busy soon."
"Okay, let's go now."
After Zong Shen finished speaking, he waved his hand.
With the help of the space mage Riss Ulysses, Vereesa completed these tasks without much effort.
The two of them took their leave and disappeared in a flash of blue light.
To a certain extent, the flash mastered by the space mage is more convenient than [Wandering Wander].
The former only requires magic points, while the latter requires a 5-minute cooling period every ten times it is used.
However, [Floating Stroll] is after all one of the skills that comes with the item [Floating Feather (Gold)]. It is suitable for portable use. It is still very valuable to Zong, because he cannot bring Riss...
Ulysses goes to fight and take risks, but he can take [Floating Feather (Gold)] with him at any time.
After Vereesa and Reese Ulysses left, Zong Shen took a deep breath. This reopening allowed him to complete many arrangements first.
While the fog of war has not dissipated, he has to go to [Commander Tower (orange)] in person. There will no longer be [Fel Devouring Body·Old Paingiver] in this restarted challenge, so he
You don’t have to worry about evil entities stealing your home.
Thinking of this, he activated [Wandering Walk] and left the place. The next second he appeared under the [Commander Tower (orange)]. He could not flash directly to the command room because the power inside was composed of elemental magic.
The field isolates the long-distance movement of space.
He had been here before in the previous challenge, so he was no stranger to it.
Stepping into the tower, there was a circular staircase going up along the wall. However, Zong Shen did not choose to take the stairs. Instead, he went directly to the right side of the building. There was a switch of the same color as the wall. After pressing it, the ground
Raise slowly.
Zong Shen rode the lifting platform and quickly reached the interior of the command room. Among the three workstations, the one belonging to Vereesa was vacant.
Mariel and Howie were quickly switching between the images that the [Commander Tower (orange)] received from the various sentry towers [Eye of True Seeing].
"grown ups!"
…
As the lifting platform was connected, both of them noticed Zong Shen's arrival and stood up to salute.
Zong waved his hand carelessly.
Then he began to explain the subsequent plans and arrangements.
"The dark orcs will send out outposts later. I need you to notify Joan of Arc and Aisia to lead the team of Holy Light Priests to the machine workshop in advance to standby."
"In addition, I have something else I want you to tell Iron Hand Barenque through the voice transmission of the control tower..."
…
Zong Shen spent more than twenty minutes arranging the follow-up situation, including how to prevent Tiezi from being killed by a bomb explosion, as well as the follow-up deployment and arrangements for the upcoming outpost air battle.
Mariel and Howie issued his orders through a sound system similar to a regional radio.
At this time, Ironhand Barenque, who was busy making items in the workshop, had just finished listening to Lady Vereesa's instructions, wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out of the workbench.
It looked at the five hundred farmers standing in the yard and whispering, feeling confused.
Because it does not think these farmers can be of any help. The work in the mechanical workshop requires certain professional skills, and it is usually the mechanical engineering apprentices it has trained during this period. There is currently no shortage of manpower.
After all, there isn't much work in the territory right now.
The group of farmers in front of me who have not received any mechanical engineering training seems to have little use here.
It took off the newsboy cap and protective goggles on its head, scratched the smooth top of its head, and ultimately did not raise its doubts in front of Vereesa.
Since this is the Lord's arrangement, it believes that there must be some deep meaning in it.
After thinking for a while, it turned around and shouted loudly.
"Steelfire Pierce!"
As its deputy, the former Goblin Ripper pilot Steelfire Pierce quickly ran out of the workshop in a hurry.
"Master Iron Hand..."
It nodded in greeting, its gloved hands covered with black oil.
Now that it has left the combat position and joined the territory's machinery workshop, it is not a bad arrangement for the two cowards it and Oil Machine Carlos.
"Settlement these farmers."
"Don't let them run around, and don't let them into the workshop."
"If these silly guys are allowed to enter the workshop, I'm worried they will damage the equipment!"
Ironhand Barenque put on his hat again, put his hands behind his back and said in the style of an old master.
At this time, the outpost war has not yet ended, and it has not yet obtained the research samples and mechanical parts of the "Yongye 4-type aircraft". Naturally, it cannot understand Zong Shen's intention of suddenly sending 500 farmers to the workshop as a labor force.
After saying that, it walked into the workshop.
War is war, and all it has to do is take care of the job at hand.
…
In [Commander Tower (Orange)], Zong Shen, who had explained most of the follow-up precautions to Mariel and Howie, had already left the command room.
After restarting the challenge, he was fully aware of the events in the initial period of the challenge.
At this time, the countdown in the sky had changed to [23:09:37], and the fog of war would dissipate in less than ten minutes. He stood next to Xiao Heizi, watching it nibbling reluctantly.
Frozen catfish freshly taken out of the ice cellar.
The sharp dagger-like teeth rubbed and cut against the frozen rock-hard catfish, making an obscure "squeaking" sound.
Ice slag soaked in catfish blood is splashing in all directions.
After seeing Zong Shen's arrival, Xiao Heizi raised his body with his tail just like he did in the previous challenge, and his thin and ferocious face showed a humanized "sad" expression.
As usual, Zong Shen proposed the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword (Gold)], used the sword to reason, climbed on its back and sat down cross-legged, and as usual spoke from the bottom of his heart, promising to help it capture the black-winged tyrant alive, and gained 8 points.
After getting a good impression, someone in Zong felt the beauty of reopening.
After Xiao Heizi finished eating the frozen catfish, his hunger and satiety levels returned to a reasonable range.
The countdown has just arrived [22:59:17].
The fog of war surrounding the territory quickly dissipated.
Just like the curtain in a theater, the show begins after it is opened!
[Red Gold Barrier Shield] rises, like a big white bowl on top of the territory!
