Chapter 1072: Dead City
He looked at Zong Shen, who was staring at the city below in a daze.
Sally leaned her head on his shoulder from behind, stretched out her pink lips and pinched his earlobe.
"my sweetheart."
"I sense ambition in you."
"You want it, right?"
Raven Saint Safuri whispered softly, and the warm air blowing made Zong Shen's cheeks itch.
Faced with such teasing, Zong Shen turned around, and the next moment his head was held and pressed into the plump valley.
The soft fragrance and elasticity lifted his spirits.
"In two days, I want this city."
Zong Shen raised his head from the suffocating plumpness and said seriously.
Hearing such a firm ambition, Safuri fell in love with him even more.
She doesn't have a good impression of the major kingdoms.
This blatant statement that he wanted to occupy the city and was not afraid of the local power made her heart beat.
"Take away the population and wealth?"
Safuli reached out and rubbed Zong Shen's back, keeping her chest raised.
Feeling the contact between the stubbled face and your own skin.
"No, take over here."
"This place is not far from my territory."
"The distance of less than a thousand kilometers is not much of an obstacle."
“The city is complete with buildings, farms, orchards and pastures.”
"People have lived here for generations and are naturally close to this land."
"No more training and management is needed, I just need to restore order to this city."
"The city is dead, so I'm going to remove the carrion, keep the living parts, and give it new life."
Yingjiang's back was very wide, so Zong Shen simply turned around completely.
While playing with two little rabbits hidden in the forest, he told them his plan.
Yes, Seabangka is the material for the development of his territory.
The idea of drinking blood and dividing flesh may be a bit barbaric, but it is actually the case.
Someone in Zong can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.
He wants to fully take over Seaka State and use means to replace the ruler, Baron Indy Nicholls.
Use the territory's force to suppress the chaos and eliminate the despicable trappers and the gang of thieves who are eyeing them.
As long as Seakabang City is given a new lease of life, it will be able to continuously provide blood to the territory from now on, and it will be legal and compliant, and will not attract the attention and investigation of the indigenous forces.
The distance between the two places is more than 700 kilometers, and they don't even need to occupy the quota of the [thousand-kilometer level directional teleportation tower]. They only need to arrange the [hundred-kilometer level teleportation array] to complete the quick connection.
He has no shortage of drawings and materials, and now it is easy for him to open up nodes within a thousand kilometers.
In fact, the largest teleportation method he possesses can even span an ultra-long distance of nearly one million kilometers.
For example, the [Space Shuttle Gate (lower demigod level)], of course, ultra-long-distance teleportation requires a certain cooling time, which is one of the reasons why Zong Shen will not consider traveling far in the short term.
Under such circumstances, Zong Shen can indeed occupy the aboriginal cities according to the regional scope and simultaneously establish teleportation connections.
From a state city within a thousand kilometers to a giant city within ten thousand kilometers, they are all his goals.
Eventually, it gradually occupied the entire eastern part of the Kingdom of Avalon and the southeastern part of the Kingdom of Nord.
Achieve gradual expansion and encroachment.
For occupied cities, the best solution is to control the top management and at the same time install subordinates to interfere with city management and the army.
This will not only occupy the number of people under command, but also make use of the city's original resources.
Including buildings, farmland, etc.
Nor will it destroy the productivity of Aboriginal people.
Challenges from relevant lords will not involve such enclaves.
When the territory needs resources, labor, and even heroic talents and warriors, it can be recruited from these cities.
Change source app]
All in all, this is a model that has more pros than cons.
Of course, it is also a great test for the overall strength of the lord and the territory.
Not all lords of cats and dogs are qualified to be the boss behind the scenes. Whether they can cover it is a big problem.
"As expected of the chosen one!"
Safuli has become Zong Shen's little crush.
When she dedicated herself, she was already in a state of semi-joining the territory.
It involves a small task, to eliminate the Calamity Raven Church.
As long as she completes this task, Safuli will be considered to have completely joined the territory, and she will also receive some additional benefits.
As a divine scroller, she can profit from the destruction of the church.
He even completely transformed the remaining power of the gods into his own power!
Therefore, Safuri also knew some additional information.
For example, the church has always kept secret the Chosen One!
Unlike the human kingdom, the church is very strict about the concept of the Chosen Son.
Apart from the Archbishop, almost no one knew.
Even fanatic believers have been subject to memory blockade. Even if they heard about it from other channels, they would turn around and forget it.
This kind of evil blockade requires long-term and cumbersome rituals, and only fanatical believers will fall prey to it.
Before that, Safuri was naturally one of the great grievances.
The Chosen One would shake their worship of the gods.
God is no longer the only master. Only the existence of the chosen one has real authority.
Because that's really the case.
The gods worshiped by the aboriginal people, whether they are higher-level powerful men or gods with partial rules and authority, are ultimately not worth the lord system and the truth hidden behind it.
You must know that through contact with the mysterious businessman Alpha, Zong Shen already knows that behind the lord system is a mysterious existence that transcends the higher dimensions of the dimensional world.
Now Safuli's worship has shifted.
This feeling is like: "My lover is a superhero, and one day he will step on a colorful dragon to take me home."
After being intimate for a while, Zong Shen decided not to waste any more time.
Strictly speaking, he still had up to two and a half days to move, which was what he had agreed with England.
Although the current bard is no longer as important in terms of talent value as it was in the past.
But keeping promises and being punctual is also a virtue.
The most important thing is that he himself can't wait for the giant city of Lentax.
"Okay, it's time to get down to business."
"In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we have to keep a low profile."
Zong Shen took out two spare pockets and gave one to Safuli.
After getting dressed, it patted Yingjiang's neck.
"Go to nearby Leda and wait for me to initiate crystal communication."
During this time, the blacksmith shop customized a series of animal equipment for both griffins and manticores.
Although the grade is not high, it can still provide additional defense blessings.
Eagle Sauce also carried out a series of weapons.
Wearing a special battle helmet and a flexibly detachable belly armor.
One of its weak points is its soft belly, which is not protected by hard feathers.
There is also a communication crystal embedded in the plastron.
Today's crystal tower has been upgraded and can communicate within a range of 9999 kilometers.
It doesn't matter even if Eagle Sauce doesn't answer. It's smart enough that when it feels the vibration of the crystal, it knows it's time to come back to answer its owner.
After a brief explanation, Zong Shen took Safuri's arm and directly activated [Wandering Walk].
The teleportation distance of several kilometers is enough for them to return to the ground.
As long as there is no interference from magic energy or space, you can travel unimpeded.
Zong Shen took Safuli to the outskirts of the city, avoiding the detection range of several sentry towers.
Although these sentry towers all look dilapidated and in disrepair, it would be nice to be more stable.
The two of them put on jackets, covering their clothing and physical features.
You can also hide your face when you lower your head.
This kind of dressing is quite concealing and can reduce exposure as much as possible.
Due to limited time, Zong Shen's strategy was relatively simple and crude.
His strength is not what it used to be, and he no longer has to worry too much.
According to the known clues, the key point is to control Baron Indy Nickles.
Before that, he had to clean up the Fantasy Dice Casino and the gold coin symphony cross-city caravan hidden behind the scenes.
Because it is the culprit that caused the complete erosion of Seakabang City.
Of course, Baron Indy Nickles is not a qualified leader either.
As a noble, there is nothing wrong with having fun. This is true for the nobles of the Kingdom of Endless Continent.
Just like Baron Bezos, he was once obsessed with exploring ruins when he was young.
Unlike Zuoyin Babbitt who wanted to be an adventurer, Baron Bezos was only interested in ancient ruins and his goals were very pure.
But later he realized that this behavior was not conducive to the management of the city, so he gave up this hobby.
In recent years, Bospan has been operating in a sound and impressive manner, and has won the respect and love of the residents within its jurisdiction.
People who cannot control their desires are undoubtedly complete losers.
Drinking, burlesque, gambling and women were common pastimes.
In moderation it is enjoyment and relaxation, but indulging too much can be destructive.
Obviously, Baron Indy Nichols himself is not a self-disciplined guy.
Coupled with his indifferent sense of responsibility, he lacks the enterprising spirit and ambition that a noble child should have.
Once tempted and ensnared, it is easy to fall completely.
The cross-city traveling caravan named Gold Coin Symphony had chosen to attack this place precisely because of this situation.
Only by dealing with them first can we deal with Baron Indy Nickles.
As for the rogue thieves and the skua thieves who are waiting for opportunities to attack the village, they are external problems that can be solved directly by force.
Holding Safuri's delicate hand, she walked through the alleys of houses built of wood, soil or wood and stone in the city.
Soon we came to a main road.
The street is wide enough for two carriages to travel parallel in both directions.
The ground is a hard road paved with gravel, and foul-smelling feces can be seen everywhere.
Most of the shops along the street were closed, especially all kinds of snack bars were almost completely wiped out.
Hungry people with withered faces and weak bodies squatted on the roadside.
The air was filled with the stench of feces, body odor, bad breath, and a mixture of rotting corpses.
The situation was so bad that the two of them walked for a while without seeing any trace of traveling merchants or carriages and horses.
The sun in the sky casts light, but the ground looked lifeless.
There are almost no corpses on the roadside, but from time to time a skeleton can be seen in the ditch.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
During this period, when the two of them were passing by a street intersection hand in hand.
Suddenly I heard a cry that sounded like a puppy whimpering.
Following the sound, there was a little girl in ragged clothes in an alley on the street, with her skinny ribs exposed.
She was lying on the body of a woman who was also as thin as a mummy.
The cry came from her.
Due to the lack of nutrition in his body, even his crying was incoherent.
Not far away, there were three or five hungry people gathered together, looking at the corpse with green eyes.
"poor child."
"This city is filled with the devastation that comes with death."
"Hunger is the biggest cause of this."
Safuri's voice suddenly became ethereal.
She walked towards the little girl and squatted down, ignoring the stench emanating from the body in front of her.
He reached out a hand and stroked her head.
The other hand shook gently, and the storage bracelet worn on the wrist emitted spatial fluctuations.
He took out a portion of church rations and a water bag and placed them in front of the little girl.
"Eat, kid."
"Gudong..."
The little girl was stunned, her throat sliding subconsciously.
Her skinny little hands tremblingly grabbed the military ration pancake, which was bigger than her head.
The big, dazzled eyes stared at Safuri.
Because she is too thin, she looks like a little carrot head with big eyes and a big head.
"thank you…"
Not forgetting to say thank you, she held up the pancake and started to bite it with her little teeth.
The appearance of food drove the hungry people who stared at the corpses crazy.
They rushed towards the entrance of the alley, stretched out their claws, and wanted to pounce on the little girl and Safuri.
Then a figure stepped in front of them.
Zong Shen took out the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword (Gold)] with his backhand and waved it lightly towards the ground.
"Peng!"
Suddenly a ravine appeared along with flying gravel.
"Want to die?"
Better to starve to death than to be hacked to death.
The hungry people suddenly stopped.
They knelt down and leaned forward in prayer.
"grown ups…"
"Please save us..."
"As long as we have a little grain, we will be your livestock...ahem..."
…
Zong Shen frowned when he saw this scene.
He finally knew why there were so many refugees.
Famine can be devastating to a region.
This is true for cities, and you can imagine the villages.
It can cause a chain reaction.
When the balance of food supply and reserves is disrupted in some way.
The first to suffer are definitely the nearby villages and farms.
At first it was just buying at a high price, but later it turned into snatching.
In the future, I am afraid that those wheat seedlings or tree bark that have just sprouted will be eaten up by hungry people.
There is no chance to even grow food.
This is when external support is needed.
However, the rulers are addicted to gambling and it is impossible to take measures to improve all this.
It's even possible that the famine was a chain reaction of the fall of Baron Indy Nicholls.
Thinking of this, he sighed silently in his heart.
Zong Shen, who carried thousands of pieces of food with him, waved his hand and took out a few pieces of bread and threw them to these poor hungry people.
