Chapter 614: Xiao Heizi’s selfish desires, the “final exam” in the challenge
As the representative conclusion of the challenge month, the difficulty of this round of challenges at the end of the month will certainly not be any lower.
From the three-day "Beasts Boiling" in the novice stage, to the "Crypt Challenge", "Winter Challenge", and "Heat Wave Challenge", the strength of the lords continues to improve with the changes in challenges.
The so-called challenge month is more like a test for the first batch of lords to come.
They are all young people under the age of 40 among humans on earth.
This does not include pregnant women, teenagers under 16 weeks of age, disabled people, or seriously ill patients.
In other words, the first batch of lords can be called the vanguard "test" lords.
The order in which the entire lord is released is also progressive.
The first batch, the second batch, and the third batch gradually arrived.
The positioning of each batch of lords seems to be different, so it is impossible to demand absolute fairness.
Those disabled people and seriously ill patients have had their bodies replenished and their stubborn illnesses cured. Is this fair compared to other normal people?
This setting can also be used for pregnant women, children, and teenagers.
They will be compensated in some ways, and will be slightly behind the first batch of lords in terms of development progress.
This is in line with a principle that the lord system has always implemented.
That is, whatever you gain, you will lose.
Only what you get after paying for it is what you truly own.
Therefore, as the first batch of lords to come, the challenge month is a test and improvement.
The challenge at the end of the month is equivalent to the final exam, a test of each lord's development results.
It's like a transcript that needs to be turned in at the end of a semester.
After passing the challenge month, these first batch of lords will directly enter a new stage of development.
“If you think of Challenge Month as a learning experience.”
"Then you have to get good grades in this final exam no matter what!"
Zong Shen silently clenched his fists and waited quietly for the announcement to end.
Redemption after the heat wave challenge ends lasts for 24 hours.
He doesn't have to worry about redeeming points.
Sort out the things at hand first, and then you will have a lot of time to spend on redemption.
The amount of harvest this time is too large, and it still takes some effort to organize it properly.
Only by knowing the territory's materials well can we better formulate development strategies.
This is why statistics is of great significance in modern society.
A series of cold GDP figures and tax figures can be combined to form a multi-dimensional data.
Some potential development issues and progress can be intuitively seen from the data.
Only in this way can the overall situation be coordinated from a macro perspective.
Whether the administrative system and internal logistics system are efficient or not determines the lower limit of territory development efficiency.
The various materials and output collected, including the population, determine the short-term development limit of the territory.
The two-minute pause ended quickly.
The sun outside was very bright, and it was a beautiful afternoon.
Zong Shen stood up and prepared to put on his armor, waiting for the announcement of the new challenge to arrive.
The courtyard outside the lord's fortress suddenly shook slightly.
"Damn humans!"
"You took away my little treasure chest!"
Xiao Heizi shouted, his voice seemed to be a bit violent.
"What happened, you shouldn't have let it go."
"It's my fault that I'm tired and confused."
Zong Shen gently held his forehead, shook his head and whispered.
Just now, Xiao Heizi's loyalty was directly reduced by 10 points.
There are now 51 points left, just 2 points away from becoming a neutral target.
After quickly putting on his armor, Zong Shen directly used the levitation technique to fly out of the window.
Without saying anything, he immediately used his lord authority to activate [Thunderland Wonders (Incomplete)].
As a wonder building covering the entire territory, Zong Shen can be quickly activated through lord authority.
This wonder has been built for some time, and it has already been filled with magic energy.
Zong Shen directly locked onto Xiao Heizi and lowered a [Thunder of the Gods].
Dark clouds quickly gathered above its head, and then a yellow thunderbolt as thick as an arm fell from the sky and struck the little black dragon directly on the head.
"Boom!"
The thunder was so powerful that it shattered the scales on its head and one of its short horns.
The arc bounced in all directions and evaporated the overflowing dragon blood.
【-1315】
A beam of damage worth thousands of digits emerged from the head of the little black dragon.
This is the power of [Thunder of the Gods], a fixed 1500 points of magic damage plus a short interval of 10 seconds.
"Roar!"
Xiao Heizi was in pain, opened his sharp-toothed mouth and let out a loud dragon roar.
It flapped its wings and soared into the sky, flying to the same level as Zong Shen.
He stretched out his slender neck and prepared to breathe acid.
This is a sign that it is going to devour the Lord.
Zong Shen calmly took out the [Time Stop Orb (gold)] with one hand and entered the time stop state.
He drew out the [Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword] with his backhand and came to Xiao Heizi. He placed the heavy sword directly on its forehead and finished.
After Shi Zing's restrictions disappeared, Xiao Heizi suddenly saw Zong Shen appear in front of him.
The brewing breath suddenly became muted.
At this moment, the danger perception instinct allowed it to catch dozens of attacks that could cause damage to it and locked it.
The [Sword of the Dome] that was originally roaming in the sky flew above its head at some point.
This [Sword of the Dome] glowed with fiery red light.
The hot flame element burned the air.
"Want to rebel?"
Zong Shen did not answer directly about the little treasure box.
He just said three words in a cold tone.
Faced with such a situation, its remaining loyalty and its instincts warned it not to continue to challenge Zong Shen, otherwise something bad might happen.
"Hmph~"
With a long snort, the little black dragon turned his head and refused to look directly at Zong Shen.
Sensing Zong Shen's killing intent gradually disappearing, it slowly fell towards the ground.
Lying on the ground listlessly.
Zong Shen stared at the loyalty and found that it was still 51 points, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew this guy's loyalty would jump repeatedly.
Especially after knowing that his private money has been poached, he will definitely be angry.
Five-color dragons are not as easy to deal with as metal dragons.
But at least its loyalty has not dropped directly below 50 points.
You won't be able to hide it for long just by looking at it.
Zong Shen looked at the little black dragon, took out the [Image Crystal] with his backhand, and threw it in front of the little black dragon with a flick of his arm.
"Isn't he the Black Wing Tyrant?"
"As long as you obey me, I will catch you back when the time comes!"
"Let you give birth to a whole litter of dragon cubs!"
Zong Shen said with a half-smile.
Five-color dragons have no concept of kinship.
They will continue to mate with their parents and even siblings without any psychological barriers or degeneration due to defective genes.
In human terms, ethnic degeneration is actually a genetic defect.
However, the five-color dragon does not have such conditions and particularities.
They have different moral standards and concepts from humans.
Zong Shen had already understood Xiao Heizi's thoughts.
This [Image Crystal] was obviously secretly recorded, along with the Black Wing Tyrant's token scales.
All proved that Xiao Heizi had other plans for the Black Wing Tyrant.
From a human moral perspective, it is a typical act of rebellion.
But by the standards of five-color dragons, this is nothing.
Dragon sex debauchery is not just talk.
Hearing what Zong Shen said, Xiao Heizi's body trembled.
"snort!"
In the end, he snorted coldly, stretched out his forelimbs, moved the [Image Crystal] in front of him, and held it directly in his mouth.
At the same time, Zong Shen once again saw a reminder about Xiao Heizi's loyalty change.
[Because you expressed Xiao Heizi’s heart’s desire]
[Black Dragon Xiao Heizi’s loyalty to you increases by 5 points, and the current loyalty point is 56 points]
"Good guy, can this also increase loyalty?"
"How obsessed is it with the Black Winged Tyrant?"
Zong Shen thought secretly in his heart.
It is definitely impossible to capture the Black Wing Tyrant in a short time.
The opponent is a lord dragon, and it is very likely that it is an extremely old dragon over 600 years old.
Dare to openly invade the land of the Kingdom of Avalon.
With Zong Shen's current strength, he could only feed it until it was full.
No matter what, if you can cheat, let's cheat first.
This guy is a pervert, so he needs to be watched closely.
Zong Shen made up his mind instantly and would never let it run away.
At worst, every time it eats from now on, someone will be specially sent to the poisonous swamp to bring back some big catfish that has been pickled.
Clapping his hands, Zong Shen flew directly into the room through the window.
As soon as I landed, I didn't even have time to sit down.
The field of vision was once again filled with white light.
It seems that the announcement of the so-called new round of challenges has appeared!
[The final challenge of the challenge month will start in 120 hours]
[This challenge lasts for 24 hours]
[The challenge is a territorial defense battle]
[Each lord can only face challenges independently]
[The difficulty of the challenge is determined based on the strength, population, and development level of the territory]
[It is prohibited to actively become a free citizen before the end of the challenge, and those who abandon their territory will be directly obliterated]
[During this period, a central stone pillar will appear in all territorial buildings]
[Challenge Goal I: The lord will survive after 24 hours]
[Challenge Goal II: The central stone pillar has not been completely destroyed after 24 hours]
[The two major goals must be completed at the same time. Failure in one of them will be regarded as a failure of the challenge]
[The territory is erased, and the territory’s citizens are turned into recruitment scrolls and returned to the whole territory]
[Each central stone pillar will have 20,000 solid points and 120 double resistance points]
[This challenge is an independent challenge. It cannot support each other and will not appear among the indigenous people]
[The losses and casualties suffered after the challenge is successful will be restored in full]
[The challenge results will be based on each lord's challenge difficulty, strength level, citizen death rate, territory damage rate, total number of kills, and the preservation status of the central stone pillar for exclusive scoring]
[Detailed scoring and reward announcements will be released after the challenge ends]
[Lords with outstanding performance will receive an exclusive privilege]
[Work hard, fight for survival, fight for the future! 】
This time the event announcement was longer than ever.
Zong Shen read line by line and couldn't help but frown.
"Defensive challenge?"
"Determine the difficulty of the challenge based on the territory's population, strength, and development level?"
In this case, with the current development level of the territory, the challenges faced are definitely not low.
It seems that in the last round of challenges in the challenge month, he can no longer exchange for a challenge advantage by leading the development of the territory. From a certain level, this is relatively fair.
"If it's a defensive challenge, wouldn't there be a monster siege?"
"Now that the territory is so large and no city walls have been built, isn't it very passive?"
Zong Shen quickly accepted the reality and began to actively think about strategies to deal with it.
It would be fair to say that the defense challenged him.
The current defense level of the territory is the best in the region.
In addition to the arrow towers moved back from the unclaimed territory, there are currently thousands of arrow towers of various levels and types in the territory. This does not include the [Wonder of Thunder Field], [Sword of the Dome], and [Red Gold Barrier]. Pillars] Such advanced defense buildings.
Likewise, both his strength and the strength of his subordinates are also extremely impressive.
Xiao Heizi, Yingjiang, Feihu, and the Manticore Tigers and Griffin Beasts of all levels are all available combat powers.
Plus the ownerless warriors brought back this time.
However, the difficulty of the challenge will ultimately be determined by the strength of the territory.
The stronger the territory, the more difficult the challenges it faces.
If you want to win, you still have to fight hard.
It can be said that everyone faces a tough battle.
Because the difficulty faced by everyone is linked to their own strength.
Whether it is Zong Shen or other lords, they must give their all to face this battle!
Theoretically, he doesn't have any special advantages this time!
And this time the challenge is very special.
There are two challenge goals. One is that the lord must survive, and the second is that the central stone pillar cannot be destroyed.
In other words, no matter what, you must guard the lord's courtyard!
Failure of either of these two goals is considered a failure of the challenge. Even if the lord does not die and the central stone pillar is destroyed, in the end the lord will have to bear the consequences of failure and be directly obliterated.
The people under your command will be returned to the whole territory as recruitment scrolls.
However, after the challenge is successful, all losses suffered during the period will be fully recovered.
This is the first time that the lord system has such punitive content as "erasure".
Although the previous challenges were also dangerous, the lord could at least choose to give up and become a free citizen. This time, it seemed that he was not even qualified to give up.
"Defensive challenge, typical defensive battle mode."
"Let me guess, I think there will definitely be many monsters appearing around the territory."
"These monsters will madly attack the center of the territory, which is the lord's fortress."
"What I have to do is guard the central stone pillar!"
After a short period of thinking, Zong Shen quickly figured out the general content of the challenge.
He was sure that the monsters attacking the city would appear from the periphery of the territory.
If monsters can descend unimpeded, then setting up a central stone pillar would be like taking off your pants and farting.
Since the theme has been determined to be a defensive battle, the routine is almost the same.
According to the announcement, the challenge will begin in five days, which is twenty-nine days after landing.
The challenge lasts for 24 hours. As long as you defend for 24 hours, you will be considered successful. It will happen to be 12 o'clock at noon on the 30th day. After that, the challenge month of the first batch of lords will be over!
Everything seems to be calculated just right.
This was the real threshold faced by the first lords.
Only by stepping forward can we enter a period of rapid development!
If you can't get past it, you'll be left alone. It's a naked elimination!
The pause ended quickly.
Zong Shen's mind is now filled with defensive battles.
Whether it was Xiao Heizi or the harvest of the unclaimed territory, they were all forgotten.
He paced the room nervously.
This feeling of tension and anticipation has not occurred for a long time.
Compared with the ease with which he faced challenges in the past, the price of failure this time was obliteration!
Even Zong Shen was not sure what he would face.
Challenges like this, which were dynamically adjusted according to each person's situation, finally made him realize the anxiety of an ordinary lord when facing challenges.
"Five days are absolutely too late to build the city wall."
"But if you just dig trenches it shouldn't be a problem."
"Digging segmented trench defense lines on the periphery of the territory can also effectively block external invasions."
"Using the magic drilling machine and the farmer to dig, it should be in time."
"In addition, since the goal of the defensive battle is in the central area, we can focus on strengthening the defense capabilities of the lord's fortress."
"Although after changing the fortress advancement route, the lord's small building has turned into a lord's fortress with amazing defenses, but this does not prevent me from adding some chips for this!"
"For example, a city wall should be built every 100 meters along the outside of the lord's fortress."
"The current territory's city wall drawings have reached level 5."
"The resource reserves should be able to afford the construction of three five-level city wall circles!"
"Anyway, it can be restored after the war, and then it can be moved to where it is needed."
"In addition to the city wall, the positions of [Thunderland Wonders] and [Red Gold Barrier Pillars] also need to be adjusted."
"And those high-level defense towers can also be moved to the center circle and actively shrink the defense!"
"Mention the defense strength within the area!"
Zong Shen whispered to himself while walking.
Since the focus of defense is in the center of the territory.
Then most of the defense matrix can be temporarily canceled.
After all, the defense matrix is arranged to take into account the defense of the entire territory in all directions.
But the defensive challenge is just holding the Lord's Fortress.
It is imperative to move most of the advanced arrow towers back to the central area and create a core defense circle!
As for the defense of the outer circle, it cannot be completely discarded, otherwise there will be no defense depth.
A large number of first- to third-level defense towers can be placed at appropriate locations on the periphery.
In just a few minutes, a blueprint for territorial defense appeared in his mind.
"No matter what, adjustments must be completed within these five days..."
"It's time to put an end to the Goblin tribe in the north."
"After taking care of the goblins, it won't hurt even if we change the defense."
Zong Shen murmured to himself.
He could feel his body getting a little hot.
This is caused by high emotions.
"call…"
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
He forcibly suppressed the idea of summoning all the heroes.
Now he must keep calm, at least until the unclaimed territory is digested!
Otherwise, the operation of the territory is likely to be chaotic!
