Chapter 613: Make a fortune in the unclaimed territory, the heat wave challenge is over

In addition to buildings and resources, the number of unclaimed citizens remaining in the territory is even greater.

Among them are warriors, farmers, and a small number of heroic talents.

The total number of recipients reached almost two thousand.

Specifically, the statistics have not been completed yet, and Zong Shen is even worried that the command points will be stretched thin.

After all the unclaimed territories are inherited, the population in the territories will increase by at least five to six thousand.

When that time comes, how to coordinate the control value will also become a problem.

Let’s wait until tomorrow morning to tell you specifically.

What he has to do now is to speed up the acquisition of unclaimed territory.

Every time they went to an unclaimed territory, Zong Shen would first collect the materials in the territory, then inherit the territory's population, and also count the valuable buildings in the territory.

This process takes about 2 to 5 minutes, not counting the travel time. Some guys repair the buildings very scattered, which undoubtedly greatly increases his workload.

Only after the specific migration strategy is determined, Reese Ulysses will open the [Shadow Wormhole] to connect the territory, and then Zong Shen will move the buildings and guide the receiving population into the territory through the wormhole.

In addition, in order to ensure the efficiency of material transfer, he had to directly take out the various resources collected and place them in the open spaces in the territory. Then Mariel, along with the logistics heroes and farmers, were responsible for sorting and sorting, and calculating the quantity of the corresponding materials. , which is a set of process migration operations.

Only in this way can the efficiency of receiving unclaimed territory be improved.

These five or six hours also made Zong Shen very tired.

But no matter what, taking over unclaimed territory is a good opportunity to increase the population and resources of the territory.

Especially since these are the legacy of the fallen lords, don’t give them up in vain.

Even if he doesn't accept it, he will continue to benefit other lords one after another.

Since there is a strategy module that can accurately guide the way, there is also the quick arrival of the little black man, and the convenient migration of the [Shadow Wormhole], these are all for the convenience of taking over the unclaimed territory.

Riss Ulysses would meditate cross-legged while Zong Shen was taking inventory, recovering part of her magic value.

Only drink the [Magic Spring] when your magic is really running low.

In order to ensure her condition, Zong Shen also fed her an [Energy Fountain] from time to time to replenish her physical strength.

The most laid-back person in the room turned into Xiao Heizi.

This little flight load is just a drop in the bucket for it.

After accepting the pet contract, the negative effects caused by the ancestral bloodline are also reset.

So far, its injuries have healed slowly.

Even the health value has increased by as much as two to three thousand.

The dragon's self-healing ability is evident.

The tyranny of top creatures is so unreasonable.

I am destined to have no sleep tonight.

…

More than ten hours passed quickly.

From dark to dawn to bright sunshine.

Although Zong Shen's body was iron-clad, he felt a little tired at this time.

He now sees double images of things and his mental state is extremely poor.

Riss Ulysses beside her had fallen asleep cross-legged, her withered head resting on Zong Shen's arm.

Even Xiao Heizi protested several times.

It is true that it has strong physical performance, but it has its battery life limit after all.

It has been flying for more than ten hours without rest, and it is still injured, so it will naturally ask for a rest.

However, Zong Shen didn't approve it, so he just endured it.

It wasn't until the last golden circle mark disappeared from sight that the task of taking over the unclaimed territory truly came to an end.

It was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

There is still more than an hour before the official end of the heat wave challenge at 12 noon.

With the heatwave challenge over, they've officially hit three weeks and three days.

There is still about a week left until full term, and I don’t know what else the Lord System will do.

As long as the challenge month is over, they can develop steadily until the second batch of lords comes.

"call…"

"Go back, little Heizi."

After struggling all night, he finally accepted a total of 382 unclaimed territories.

The specific materials, personnel and buildings harvested have not yet been counted.

He only knew that the open spaces in the farming and pastoral areas in the northwest of the territory were all filled with resources.

Thousands of people are queuing up outside the living area to receive food. At the same time, they will not break up and are divided into groups according to farmers, heroes, and warriors.

The sudden increase in population severely tested the territory's logistical capabilities.

A large number of double-story stone houses were built before but still could not accommodate everyone.

It is imperative to build new stone house communities.

In addition, food, drinking water, and hygiene are also big issues.

Simple toilets and bathhouses need further construction.

There are also uniform casual clothes.

Just one portion of food for each person consumed the food reserves that could originally last three days for the territory.

It is equivalent to one meal equaling the original consumption of six meals.

Zong Shen must purchase more food.

Fortunately, Howie recovered the bodies of many horses and beasts yesterday.

These meats can supplement part of the food consumption of the territory.

That's not the only problem that gives Zong Shen a headache.

From food, clothing, housing and transportation, command value planning, inventory of materials, preparations for new infrastructure, and planning for relocation of buildings, they are all matters that require his decision-making.

Now he was too tired to care about any of this.

All the tedious work is left to your subordinates to complete.

He can just wait until he has sorted it out before making the final decision on his plan.

In addition to unclaimed territory reception, heat wave challenges are also an issue.

Gujiat, a stubborn man with great potential as a model worker, did not return to his territory until nine o'clock in the morning.

According to Luna, Feihu was so tired that he was foaming at the mouth.

The hunger and fullness level dropped to a pitiful 15 points.

One can imagine how Gugat squeezed it.

The exact number of Balrog Keys obtained needs to be counted.

Because Gugat not only carried a package on his back, but also had many keys stuffed in the storage compartment of his armor.

Even Feihu had hundreds of them in his mouth.

These are all things that Zong Shende worries about.

When Zong Shen brought Reese Ulysses back to the territory.

The entire territory was completely buzzing with people.

Even outside the lord's fortress, he could hear the faint sounds of people coming from two or three kilometers away.

Except for Salome Linyu who was tending the sweet potato fields and the peasant women, there was no one in the entire lord's fortress. Neither Mariel nor Luna nor Vereesa was in the fortress.

Even after the blood wolf Gugat returned to the territory, before he had time to rest, Luna recruited some strong men to help them organize the received warriors.

Bringing back so many resources and people overnight really requires heroic talents like them to be busy for a while.

"call…"

"The territory seems to have never been so lively."

Zong Shen shook his head and sighed softly.

He woke up Rhys Ulysses and asked her to flash back to her room to rest.

Then he jumped off Xiao Heizi's back.

When I was about to walk into the fort and go back to my room to rest for an hour.

The little Heizi behind him began to protest.

"I'm hungry…"

“Is there any big sour catfish?”

"..."

Zong Shen turned around and looked at it speechlessly.

He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then pointed to the south.

"Fly back to the Poison Swamp yourself and have a meal."

"I have a big catfish here."

"I'll wake up in the next hour hoping to see you out in the yard."

This kind of heavy-flavor delicacy can only be found in Poison Marsh.

There are food reserves in the Poisonous Mist Swamp, so let the little black dragon handle it on its own.

In order to prevent it from running around and causing commotion, Zong Shen restricted its return within one hour.

"snort!"

After snorting softly, the little black dragon unfolded its black wings and flew towards the south.

Zong Shen watched the little black dragon fly away, smiled, and returned directly to the room.

[Energy Fountain] can restore some physical strength, but it cannot completely replace sleep.

Sleep is the most effective way to recover. Even sleeping for an hour will make his condition much better.

Zong Shen took off his armor, lay carelessly on the bed, and soon fell into a dream.

…

In the farming and pastoral area of the territory, Mariel and Howie looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the mountains of resources.

They were followed by the deputy in charge of internal affairs.

There were red bloodshot eyes in everyone's eyes.

It was enough to prove that they didn't have any rest for the whole night.

But Mariel still had a faint expression of excitement on her face.

Even Howie is very motivated.

“With so many resources, we don’t have to worry about the construction of the territory!”

"Perhaps we can start preparations for the construction plan of the central circle city wall."

Mariel said with bright eyes.

Howie on the side nodded in agreement.

"The territory will soon embark on a path of rapid development."

"At this rate, the size of the territory will soon exceed that of Gotti Castle."

"I will also share your business and statistics concerns."

Howie said with some emotion.

His talent lies in business planning and material coordination.

Very sensitive to numerical statistics.

Currently, he is in charge of the territory's material statistics.

As for Mariel, she is more like an architectural madman, obsessed with construction and population logistics.

The two of them, plus the heroic talents who joined later, made the logistics and internal affairs of the entire territory run.

"Let's get on with the triage."

"A large number of straw sheds have been built in the open spaces on the edges of agricultural and pastoral areas to industrial areas."

"All resources can be placed in the straw shed first."

“When new infrastructure projects start, we will prioritize the consumption of this batch of resources.”

"In addition, the specific amounts of resources and materials must be calculated as soon as possible and handed over to adults for review."

Mariel said vigorously.

She has a mature temperament beyond her years.

"Okay, do you need to apply to Lord Colby for some Wolf Cavalry to help?"

Howie looked at the supplies piled up into hills and stretched away, turned around and asked.

Mariel nodded.

"of course yes…"

"We still have to use the idle loader mechas and our respective storage compartments."

Howie immediately understood and took out the communication crystal to prepare for contact.

Mariel raised her hand and waved forward.

Behind him, San Pang and three to four hundred farmers immediately rushed forward and began to move resources.

…

At the same time, in the open space outside the living area.

Thousands of people were divided into three groups of different sizes.

They held food in their hands and looked at the situation in the territory in confusion.

In terms of supplies, Mariel and Howie are in charge.

The population here can only be taken care of by Luna, Vereesa, Colby, Doris, and Farvid.

Compared with material sorting, population planning is even more troublesome.

Doris, who had always been impatient, was already two years old.

So busy, they have completed a round of general classification.

The detailed qualification statistics, classification of arms, and classification of hero-level talents have not yet been completed.

Most of the population is unruly and neutral.

This is because those heroic talents from Unclaimed Territory have not yet completed their planning.

The command value of these newly received heroic talents is extremely important and is the key to the successful control of these receiving populations.

The territory's original heroic talents and Zong Shen alone would definitely not be able to consume these thousands of people in one breath.

So their task here is not much easier than resource sorting.

Now Luna, Vereesa, and Colby are responsible for classifying the warriors.

Doris was impatient, so she was put in charge of the heroes brought back from Unclaimed Territory.

Because the number of heroic talents is the smallest compared to farmers and warriors.

Favid is responsible for managing the farmers, and the blood wolf Gugat will help him.

Farmers are the most numerous, but they are also the best managed part.

Compared with the warriors who muttered and mourned their old masters, the farmers seemed even more heartless.

As long as they were not beaten to death and could still eat, they would be satisfied.

Now Zong Shen has taken over all the unclaimed territories that he can take over.

The work here has stabilized.

It is estimated that it will definitely not be completed within three to five hours.

This does not include the densely packed defensive arrow towers of various levels standing in the open space in the north of the territory.

Most of them are first- and second-order low-level arrow towers, with a small number of third-level arrow towers and a very small number of fourth-level arrow towers.

There are also some messy buildings.

There are thousands of them in total, and they look quite spectacular at a glance.

These relocated buildings are not busy being tidied up. Mariel will take care of them these days.

Low-level arrow towers have very limited deterrent effect against powerful enemies alone.

But it still has great value.

They can increase the output density of the defense matrix.

Pour out a dense rain of attacks against the large-scale incoming enemies.

In a sense, the thickness of defense is indirectly equal to the strength of defense.

It is foreseeable that after today, Zong Shen's territory will once again enter a new level.

The total population of the territory is approaching ten thousand.

Various types of buildings and coverage areas have also been greatly increased.

Now that the money-hungry handsome boy has been conquered, Zong Shen will continue to upgrade his territory next.

They haven't upgraded for a while, and Chen Rui and others behind them have already caught up with their territory level.

At the end of the month, rewards will be calculated from the territory ranking list.

Zong Shen definitely has no reason to let go of this reward.

This time, Zong Shen was ready to raise his territory to levels ten or twenty in one step.

Further improve the coverage of the territory, which will facilitate the management of poisonous fog swamps in the south and mines in the northeast.

At the same time, it is also necessary to speed up the deployment of Dinan Village.

Dinan Village has experienced significant population loss.

Basically, they were recruited or tricked by other lords.

If Zong Shen doesn't act quickly, Dinan Village will be gradually eaten away by other lords using blunt knives to cut their flesh.

It's not just people from other clans who need people in the region.

Other lords are also frantically harvesting the population in a way that suits them.

This is actually what Aboriginal villages are all about.

If Zong Shen does not annex it in time, other lords will not let it go.

Their approach might be softer, like Zong Shen did in Xitano Village, where they gain favorability and the right to recruit villagers by completing tasks.

You can also directly use dinars to recruit workers in the form of hired workers.

The number of single recruitments for a single lord may be limited.

But the lord's base is too large to be able to withstand it.

You kidnapped three and he kidnapped five. When added together, it’s an incredible number.

And the population of Aboriginal villages will become increasingly depleted over time.

Until the lords get together and their strength can compete with the state level.

When that time comes, there will probably be large-scale armed plundering of villages throughout the region.

The strength index of the lords continues to increase, and the targets of plunder will also increase step by step.

Including settlements, villages, and then to less developed state cities and powerful state cities. In the end, I am afraid that even giant cities will not be spared.

This is the only way for lords to develop rapidly.

In addition, the lords' population acquisition methods need to be supplemented by recruitment rolls.

This is why Zong Shen always believed that sooner or later a full-scale conflict would break out between the lords and the aborigines.

Including those issues lurking among Aboriginal people and on the continent.

In the end they will all be detonated forcefully.

The entire continent would be in chaos.

Everything seems to be paving the way for a period of great chaos.

These situations are all within Zong Shen’s predictions.

The development progress that is significantly higher than that of other lords and the information provided by the strategy module give him greater goals and vision.

…

Zong Shen slept soundly this time.

Everyone was busy dealing with the population and resources brought back from the Unclaimed Territory, so no one woke him up.

According to this sleepiness and trend, Zong Shen would have to sleep until at least the afternoon.

But now, Zong Shen woke up early.

Because twelve o'clock noon has arrived.

White light filled the field of vision unreasonably.

It also woke him up instantly from a deep sleep.

"White light?"

"Is the time-stop state coming?"

Zong Shen quickly realized what was happening.

The white light represents the global time stop, marking the arrival of twelve o'clock at noon and the official end of the heat wave challenge.
