Chapter 565: Chen Rui and Zongze during the crusade
The number of second-level wolf cavalry has reached 217, enough to form eighteen teams.
We must also add five wolf cavalry who have been transferred to the third-order giant wolf.
These giant wolves are recruited from the rare-level building [Giant Wolf Lair].
As for the second-level steppe wolves replaced by these wolf cavalry, they were handed over to the wolf cavalry who lost their mounts and the previously captured soldiers from Odo Village, further expanding the number of wolf cavalry.
Except for the two teams of wolf cavalry who have been transferred to the mine.
All the wolf cavalry in the territory are concentrated here.
The reason why there are so many wolf cavalry is due to the unclaimed territory that Zong Shen went to take over last night.
The strategy module is dormant tonight, preventing him from taking over the unclaimed territory, which is also a big loss.
Except for the wolf cavalry and a few units.
Most of the warriors couldn't even assemble a squad.
At a glance, it looks like a mixed bag of troops.
Not as imposing as the standard troops.
Like a fancy "assembled" army.
There were quite a few people in total, but they didn't have that kind of momentum.
There is no way around this.
After all, there is still a big gap between a lord who has grown up from scratch and a kingdom force that has a complete troop tree and wears standard equipment.
Zong Shen still has a long way to go before he wants to have a uniform army.
In addition to obtaining professional warriors through recruitment rolls.
The development of self-trained soldiers will also be a major trend in the future.
Luna and Vereesa are reorganizing the team.
There are campfire spots at the front and back of the clearing.
The smoky smell of burning vegetation filled the air.
When the loader mecha driven by Zong Shen came "rumble".
All the soldiers couldn't help but stand up straight.
The originally somewhat scattered square formation became much more orderly.
Everyone is consciously waiting for the Lord's review.
Zong Shen was very satisfied with the attitude and reaction of the soldiers.
Although the discipline and momentum of the team are not up to standard yet.
But he was quite pleased that the soldiers had this attitude.
After stopping the loader mecha.
Zong Shen just stood up and stood on the driver's seat.
The chassis of the load-bearer is more than one meter above the ground, making it a natural podium.
He first looked around the four square formations and glanced at each warrior.
After Vereesa and Luna walked from the queue to the front, they slowly spoke.
"Today's battle. The long-range shooters and mages have worked hard."
"Any equipment that has lost more than half its durability can be reported to Vereesa, Luna and Doris."
"In the near future, I will find a way to solve the equipment problem for you."
"If you have any thoughts and opinions, you can report them to me now."
Zong Shen's speech was very simple.
He went straight to the point and put the issue of equipment wear and tear as his top priority.
In fact, Zong Shen also wanted to say a few more words of encouragement to motivate everyone.
I feel like it’s not the right time yet.
Anyone can use empty words and clichés.
But at this time it is better to act on a pragmatic basis.
As professional fighters, they are not afraid of fighting.
Zong Shen would not leave them without usable weapons.
There have been a lot of new warriors added to the territory recently.
We still have to let the newcomers and the old get used to each other for a while.
After Zong Shen finished speaking, he saw many people eager to report.
They stand upright.
He raised his right hand, waiting for Zong Shen's roll call.
Zong Shen's eyes swept left and right.
First, he set his sights on the wolf cavalry queue.
Colby, who was stupid, big and black, was raising his right hand.
"Colby, it's up to you to speak first!"
"Do you have any question?"
Da Kao serves as the person in charge of the wolf cavalry in the territory.
He was also the first wolf cavalryman under Zong Shen.
He also contributed a lot to the development of the territory.
He can be regarded as a model worker who works hard without complaining.
After he called the names.
I saw Colby taking a step forward while riding the giant wolf on his crotch.
Standing there, raising his chest and speaking loudly.
"It's serious, it's about the Wolf Cavalry Patrol."
"I think some fixed patrol routes should be planned."
"That way you can..."
Colby took the initiative to express some of his thoughts and opinions.
Zong Shen listened patiently, analyzed it in his mind, and immediately gave an answer.
The atmosphere at the scene gradually became more active.
…
At the same time, in the Kugit Empire far to the southwest of the continent.
Chen Rui and Garona stood side by side outside the refresh point of the Fire Demon Boss in this area.
In front of him, long-range crossbow shooters and mages were working hard.
The light of various magics shines in the night sky.
Although high-level magic skills have a long cooling time.
But low-level attack magic can always be used.
For example, this is the case for magic bullets and magic arrows of various departments. As long as you have enough magic value, you can keep casting them.
At the scene of the crusade, besides Chen Rui, there were a large number of lords nearby.
They were all attacking the Balrog Boss indiscriminately.
When the Balrog launches a magma attack.
There will be a moment of confusion.
To Chen Rui's left, right and rear, there were about two to three thousand lords on standby with their warriors.
Every ten minutes, the lords outputting from the front will retreat.
The lords on standby in the rear will be replenished in time after they have rested.
There seems to be some order.
The overall output efficiency is not outstanding, but it is stable enough.
The crusade here looks no different from the one in Zong Shen's area.
Except for those few powerful lords.
Ninety-nine percent of the lords behaved the same way when facing the Fire Demon Boss.
In contrast, Chen Rui seems very calm here.
He and Garona even had the intention to look up at the starry night sky.
Chen Rui looked at a bright star in the north and couldn't help but sigh.
"Zong Shen gave this person, it is really amazing."
"I can't see through his strength."
"I can't find anything about him in the previous life in my memory."
"But now, he has completed three breakthrough events!"
"Every time it's so shocking."
"If he is really an extremely powerful person, then he would not have been an unknown guy in his previous life."
Chen Rui said softly to Garona beside him.
In his lifetime, Zong Shen's rise was a mystery.
This is the only thing Chen Rui can't figure out.
In this life, Garona is his closest partner.
He could tell Garona everything about himself.
Before that, Chen Rui boldly revealed to Garona that he was a reborn person.
Let’s test the lord system’s reaction to this.
As a result, the lord system was not in any strange state at all.
No intervention was made.
Since then, Chen Rui has understood that the lord system rarely interferes with or peeks into the individual lords.
Unless you tell some information about future situations, you will be silenced.
Secondly, it is when using [Channel] to communicate.
Sensitive information and words will also be blocked.
As for communication in reality, it is relatively loose.
Just disclose changes in trends in future stages without involving them.
The lord system will not care about you.
There will be no punishment.
These are all summed up by Chen Rui after many trials.
The lord system is not that versatile.
Maybe it does have powerful authority.
But just as Zong Shen thought, the lord system was more like a shepherd.
It only grasps the macro-level development rhythm of the lords.
There will be no monitoring or intervention in subtle details.
Garona stood beside him and listened quietly to Chen Rui's story.
She didn't say anything, just hugged Chen Rui gently.
The temperature is still hot in their area.
Although the last round of Balrog Boss was also successfully eliminated.
But he didn't get the cooling privilege.
For the lords of other regions, it would be good if the temperature does not rise.
Their first round of crusade lasted less than eight hours.
Because Chen Rui is a reborn person, he used his points to redeem some high-energy items containing huge frost magic elements and water magic elements during the winter challenge period.
In fact, when it comes to the thing with the highest elemental energy density, it has to be a magic gem or a magic core.
Unfortunately, these things are not included in points redemption.
The point redemption for the Winter Challenge only provides common low-level gems of five series of magic elements.
There are no such rare types as frost, thunder, and arcane.
Therefore, Chen Rui could only choose to exchange it for other items with similar effects.
With preparation.
He also gained a lot from the first round of crusade.
However, after the Balrog Boss gained additional elemental resistances to frost and water today.
The methods prepared by Chen Rui will be of no use.
Based on yesterday's situation, Chen Rui vaguely guessed that the adjustment of the Flame Demon Boss was probably due to Zong Shen.
After all, that guy had the fastest kill in the region just yesterday.
There must have been some opportunistic methods used.
So in today's second round, everyone can only attack in a regular manner.
As a reborn person, there is still a big gap between Chen Rui and our Guabi Zong.
The biggest advantage of the reborn is that they know some clues and subsequent stage changes in advance.
But converting these clues into strength also requires a lot of energy.
As for Zong, he only needs to rely on the tips of the strategy module to get the maximum profit with the minimum loss.
Comparing the two, Zong Shen is more domineering.
This round of Balrog Boss in their area has not been defeated until now.
However, Chen Rui still behaved calmly.
Having lived in two lives, his greatest wealth is actually not the memory of his previous life.
But that calm and calm mentality.
This is the key factor for his ability to rise in this life.
The Balrog Boss in front of him still has about 15% of his health left.
According to the current progress, it will probably take one to two hours to eliminate it.
And as Balrog's HP decreased, the intensity and frequency of his attacks became more and more violent.
All participating lords had to face it more carefully.
This is the real situation in ordinary areas when dealing with crusade wars.
in a sense.
Zong Shen's rise has changed more than just himself.
At the same time, it also had a profound impact on the lords of the entire region.
This influence and change are subtle.
The overlord of each regional lord often strengthens himself by occupying the relics and resources in the region.
From this perspective, ordinary lords are like their stepping stones.
However, once there is a powerful overlord-level lord in the area.
In the future, we can also feed back the ordinary lords in some aspects.
This is a balancing process.
However, Chen Rui is not without advantages in this region.
In contrast, Zong Shen is not so ambitious about unifying regional lords.
His strategy was a relatively soft approach to annexation.
As for Chen Rui, he is more radical in this regard.
Now Chen Rui has united more than half of the lords in the area.
Because it is difficult to quickly upgrade the legion level.
So he adopted the alliance system.
With his innovative [Legion of the Dead] as the core, twenty or thirty branch armies were united.
A relatively close alliance was formed.
His plan for this matter can even be traced back to the Crypt Challenge.
Therefore, up to now, more than half of the lords in his area have been united by him.
This can be seen at the scene of the Enma subjugation battle.
Every time the Balrog Boss launches a magma offensive.
In Chen Rui's team, his soldiers will issue evacuation reminders in advance.
He did this based on his experience in his previous life and his observations and summaries.
You can detect the attack trend and direction of the Balrog Boss three or four seconds in advance.
Whenever a reminder is issued, the lords around Chen Rui will retreat in unison.
Avoid lava rain and scorching ray attacks.
The lords on the other side are more scattered and loose.
These scattered lords belong to dozens of different small legions.
There are also some "loose people" who have not yet joined any legion.
Although Chen Rui moved quickly, there was still some way to go before he could fully unite the lords in the area.
His strength in this area is not low either.
But it is not as widely known as Zong Shen.
The lords from the earth are not as easy to fool as the indigenous people on the mainland.
Popularity is a great advantage in conquering lords.
If Zong Shen takes advantage of the situation, he can complete regional unification earlier than Chen Rui.
But it's obvious that Zong's interest is not here.
Because for Zong Shen, unifying the region is just an inevitable process.
There is no need to speed up.
Or focus more on the development of the territory and the exploration of the ruins.
Only in this way can he improve his strength faster.
This is the truest thought in Zong Shen's heart.
Chen Rui was thinking about Zong Shen.
In the queue not far in front of him, the largest number was a kind of slinger riding a wild boar.
This is also a unique unit in this region.
They are the tusked slingers of the ancient stone pig tribe.
Barely considered a different kind of ranger.
The attack method is to use a sling to throw stones the size of a baby's fist.
The maximum range is only 80 meters.
Can cause a certain amount of bludgeoning damage to the target.
These fanged slingers are only about one and a half meters tall.
He is broad-shouldered and round-waisted, with a rugged face.
Their noses are very distinctive, large and round.
They look like close relatives of dwarf warriors.
The Stone Pig Tribe is similar to the Wild Wolf Tribe, and both have become extinct in the mainland.
Now it appears as a unique unit in the region.
The damage of these slingers is not high, but the attack cost is extremely low.
One stone can make ten slings.
Compared with arrows and crossbow bolts, their ammunition consumption is almost costless.
Whenever the reminder signal that the Balrog is about to launch a counterattack appears.
These guys would ride on the gray-skinned wild boars and run away.
Chen Rui has become accustomed to this.
A special logistics system has even been prepared.
A large number of stone pellets and ammunition tubes are enough.
In addition to these fang slingers, there are also various cavalry from the Kugit Empire.
It is different from the Rhodok Kingdom next door.
The cavalry of the Kugit Empire, especially the cavalry archers, are outstanding.
This is also related to the geographical environment of the two countries.
Most of Rhodok Kingdom is a mountainous area.
Only a small part of the Kugit Empire was mountainous.
The rest is the southwestern plain of the continent.
It is also the second largest plain in the entire continent.
The first plain is the Plain of Bemmeres in the center of the continent.
It was also the seat of the Kingdom of Swadia.
The plains have always been a good place to breed cavalry.
Speaking of the Kingdom of Rodok, we have to mention Zong Shen’s Ougou brother Zong Ze.
At this time, Zongze has ended today's crusade.
The speed of conquest in their area was actually slightly faster than that in Chen Rui's area.
This is because there are many powerful lords in the area where Zongze is located.
In addition to Zongze himself, there are two other lords whose development progress and strength are also good.
Almost most of Rhodok Kingdom is located in the mountains.
These mountains are rugged and difficult to navigate.
But there are also many ruins and rich mineral resources.
Even gathering wood is easy.
In addition, the most famous unit of the Rhodok Kingdom is the archer.
Therefore, the dominant arms of the lords within the Kingdom of Rhodok are also shooters.
Except for Rhodok crossbow archers.
They also have second-level special units specific to this area.
Mountain troll spear thrower.
These guys are strong and about two meters tall.
The skin has a light blue sheen.
The muscles are strong and the strength attribute is particularly outstanding.
They were naked to the waist, collecting wild flowers and grinding them into mud to use as paint on their bodies.
The face is rough and slightly ferocious, and the lower jaw has two protruding fangs and canines like an orc.
The hair on the top of the head is in a Mohawk style and is slightly yellow.
The comprehensive attributes of these guys are higher than those of the Wolf Cavalry.
The pure strength attribute is almost comparable to that of a third-level infantry warrior.
The health value is also very high.
The main method of attack is throwing short spears.
Possess the skill [Frenzy Throwing].
Can greatly increase throwing power and speed.
Their spear throwing is very powerful, even comparable to the arrows shot by fourth-level rangers.
Where there are advantages, there are disadvantages.
These guys also have serious drawbacks.
That is the issue of attack cost and attack efficiency.
There are only ten pieces of the most common [Black Iron Throwing Spear] in a bag.
The spear heads of these throwing spears are made of black iron, and the spear bodies are cut and polished wooden handles!
