Chapter 776: Harem Heroes

There is an old Chinese saying that is very good, and it is very applicable to the identity of a lord.

It even has guiding significance for managing the harem.

That is: don’t worry about scarcity but worry about inequality; don’t worry about poverty but worry about insecurity.

This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Ji Shi Chapter 16".

This means that we are not worried about getting a small share, but we are worried about unfair distribution. We are not worried about living in poverty, but we are worried about an unstable living environment.

The women in the harem naturally have different levels of strength and completely different personalities, but Zong Shen cannot show too obvious preference, at least to maintain relative fairness on the surface.

The reasons why the harems of ancient emperors were unstable often had complex reasons.

One of the most important points is that the Dog Emperor always flips brands based on preference.

A concubine who cannot be favored should still fight for power?

Zong Shen will not let such a situation happen, at least his physical fitness can fully keep up.

He took the initiative to reach out and took Marpel's little hand, pulled her to his side, and hugged her slender waist.

Use intimate gestures to make up for the excessive attention he had just paid to Althea.

"grown ups…"

Mapel called out as loudly as a mosquito and then leaned against him.

At this time, he hugged Madeline again, looking like a fallen lord hugging her from left to right.

Tasia was still hugging Alsia, while Luna always maintained a smile and a calm attitude.

As for Kajinia and the blood wolf Gugat, they both turned their heads and looked at the scenery not far away.

This is Zong Shen's territory, and no one will tell him what to do.

"Come, my dear Mapel."

"Let me see which one of you two sisters is stronger."

“From now on, the archer troops in the territory will depend on Vereesa and you!”

Zong Shen smiled playfully and spoke in a relaxed tone in order to further reduce the contrast between the two women.

It turns out that the two sisters Madeleine and Mapel have always been the second-in-command in the archer unit.

In actual power, they are lower than Vereesa. Now they have successfully advanced to hero-level talents, and the scale of the archer unit has also been greatly expanded than before. Zong Shen's words are a statement. From now on, they will enjoy peace and warmth in the territory. Lesa has the same rights and treatment!

This is also an honor and recognition.

Of course, Vereesa's reputation is unique among the elves.

This is not important, the division of power within the territory is still decided by someone from the clan.

Not all the elven warriors who joined the territory were shooters, there were also various [Druids], [Mountain Giants], and [Chimeras].

After hearing their lord say this, the frustration on the faces of the two sisters immediately dissipated a lot.

As a man, you need to be coaxed from time to time.

Zong Shen has gradually matured and is able to shamelessly enjoy the service of several "wives". I wonder if this counts as doing as the Romans do.

After a few words of coaxing, Zong Shen breathed a sigh of relief, locked his eyes on Mapel, and checked her attributes.

[Hero: Mapel (Purple)]

[Qualification: Rare]

[Race: Human]

[Level: LV23]

[Experience value: 13726/56570]

[Hunger and satiety: 84/100]

[Health value: 915]

[Number of people under control: 0/59]

【Strength: 47】

[Agility: 91]

【Wisdom: 26】

[Charm: 29]

[Remaining assignable attribute points: 0]

[Remaining allocable skill points: 0]

[Remaining assignable weapon proficiency: 0]

[Detailed attributes: (Click to expand)]

[Weapon Proficiency: (Click to expand)]

[Hero skills: (click to expand)]

[Lord level passive skills: (Click to expand)]

[Loyalty: 100]

…

After glancing at Mapel's panel attributes first, Zong Shen had an idea.

The attributes of the two sisters can be said to be on the same level.

The difference is that sister Madeline's [Strength] and [Charm] attributes are higher.

And sister Mapel is also slightly higher in [Agility] and [Wisdom].

Even the [Lord Level Passive Skill] points are almost exactly the same. The only difference is that Mapel has two more points in [Mounting and Archery]. It can only be said that this is probably the unique tacit understanding of the twin sisters.

Zong Shen curled his lips and chose to check her [Hero Skill].

I don’t know what kind of personal talent Mabel will have.

As his thoughts emerged, the [Hero Skill] options also expanded.

[Passive skill: Accuracy (Mapelle has better accuracy talent than ordinary people, and the basic hit rate within the effective range is increased by 15%)

Natural Ranger (Mapelle can adapt to the mount faster, and the [Mounted Archery] ability is increased by 2 points by default)]

…

These two personal talents are more interesting.

The first is [Accuracy]. This thing is destined for Mapel to develop into a powerful sniper shooter, that is, a precise shooter.

The second is [Natural Ranger]. With this talent, Zong Shen considers whether to equip Mapel with a mount or an aerial rider.

The talents of the two sisters include one that increases range and movement speed, and the other that increases accuracy and [mounted shooting] enhancement.

Their personal talents basically determine the development path that is most suitable for them in the future.

Zong Shen needs to prepare the most reasonable arrangements for them.

Aisia, Tasia, Madeline, and Mapel have all completed the hero advancement.

The corresponding attribute changes and [Hero Skills] have also been reviewed.

The next thing Zong Shen had to do was review the farmer team.

Under the organization of the internal logistics heroes headed by Mariel, the farmers arranged themselves into square formations.

From here, we can see a large area of ​​darkness, which is much larger than the formation of soldiers just reviewed.

The total number of farmers in the territory, plus the wounded and disabled soldiers brought back from the unclaimed territory, exceeded 8,000. Zong Shen remembered that in his high school, even if the junior high school was included in the assembly, there were only three to four thousand people in total. , this is already considered a relatively large middle school in the local area.

More than 8,000 people gathered in front of them, and the scene was even more spectacular.

Just now, Zong Shen deliberately led a few people to retreat behind the tower of the lord's fortress, so he could interact closely with the girls. They could see the farmers gathering in the open space outside, but those farmers could not see them.

While Zong Shen was assessing the time, Marier rode a prairie horse through the tower.

"Sir, everyone has gathered."

"Waiting for your review and arrangement!"

Mariel was wearing [Tribune] equipment and a half-helmet on her head, looking quite impressive.

She dismounted nimbly and bowed to Zong Shen for instructions.

"I know, I'll come over right now."

Zong Shen nodded with a smile, straightened his armor, shook off the wrinkles from his cloak, turned over and walked into the courtyard, and came to Xiao Heizi who was taking a nap in the courtyard of the lord's fortress.

This guy has mastered the essence of fishing. Based on the principle that if the sky falls, it will crush the hateful Zong Shen to death. Basically, it looks like it has nothing to do with it. It will never go out for a walk if it can sleep in. .

Anyway, once he eats, as long as he doesn't fight, it is enough to maintain his semi-dormant state for a month or even several months. To put it bluntly, such behavior means that Xiao Heizi has no sense of belonging at all.

The character of the five-color black dragon is like that. You can use coercion to make them submit.

But it is impossible to gain their loyalty in a short period of time.

Xiao Heizi's performance confirmed this, but Zong Shen didn't care.

Since there is no loyalty, then just feel free to be a loser and a working dragon!

At least that's how he defined Xiao Heizi in his heart.

I saw Zong Shen walking to Xiao Heizi's side, his legs slightly bent to charge up, and then the powerful [Agility] and [Strength] came into play at the same time, making his body like a super spring after charging, and he came directly He took off from the ground and landed accurately on the [Dragon Control Saddle (Orange)] on Xiao Heizi's back.

In fact, those [Moon Maid Hunters] riding giant [Night Sabers] also have super jumping power.

But jumping straight onto the mount is a little too graceless.

Therefore, those huntresses are still used to using the reins to mount their mounts, which not only interacts with the mounts, but also looks cooler.

Zong Shen doesn't have so much care and concern.

Weak people are bullied by evil dragons, and ruthless people only bully evil dragons.

His deft landing on the saddle also woke up Xiao Heizi who was in a light sleep state.

"snort…"

It shook its head gently, and its slender neck turned so that it could see the old god was someone in the sect.

So it snorted coldly, and two white smoke columns came out from its nostrils along with the gushing air, a bit like the expanding water vapor spurting out when a steam engine releases pressure.

A faint sour smell filled the air.

"It's time to get to work!"

Zong Shen sat down on the saddle, pulled the reins and said to Xiao Heizi.

Xiao Heizi was stunned for a while, and finally, forced by someone from Zong's power, he unfolded his black wings.

Its black wings are like two curtains. After they are opened, even the light in the vicinity is affected.

That's right, Zong Shen is going to show off on Little Heizi.

For the soldiers under your command, it is better to be more sincere, but for the farmers, you have to change your strategy.

The general performance of the farmers is very average, just like the farmers assigned by the lord system when Zong Shen first landed.

Hanhan is silly and not very flexible.

Among them, those who are a little more flexible, such as San Pang and Tiezhu, will be selected.

Farmers are also divided into different work teams to deal with the construction, collection, transportation and other tasks of the territory.

Those who are more intelligent and flexible will be selected as group leaders.

If you want to quickly establish authority among farmers, the best way is not to preach or chicken soup for the soul.

Instead, he directly demonstrated his tough skills and strength.

There is no better way to win over these farmers than to let these farmers see the lord's strength intuitively.

That's why Zong Shen decided to ride Xiao Heizi out.

After all, it had been a long time since he had gone out of his way to establish his authority among the farmers.

Many of these farmers had never even seen him, it was just so outrageous.

But there is no way. After all, farmers are the bottom population that makes up a territory, and they are also the basic population. The improvement speed is too fast.

It was impossible for Zong Shen to join a farmer in his territory, so he went out of his way to meet one.

During this period, the farmers' loyalty grew naturally, and he did not interfere too much.

The latest batch of farmers to join are the refugees who came from nearby two days ago. They are also the Nth batch of refugees after the turmoil in Seakabang City. In fact, Zong Shen's territory has received many batches of refugees from there during this time.

It's just that the number is not large, there are only two or three people at the least, and there are only a dozen or so people at the most.

You must know that his territory has a lot of [Refugee Attractiveness] bonuses.

From this point, we can see the situation of Seakabang City, which is why Zong Shen chose that place as the first target for annexation.

In addition to taking into account Baron Bezos, the turbulent Seaka is indeed the best choice.

Secondly, the largest growth peak of farmers comes from the two groups who inherited the unclaimed territory after the Fire Demon BOSS and the Poison Mist Swamp, including Tiezhu who also brought back some farmers from Dinan Village just now.

With so many sources, it would be strange for Zong Shen to remember them.

Normally, he doesn't bother to hold farmers' gatherings, so he took advantage of this time to establish the majesty of the lord.

I think it should be able to effectively gain the loyalty of farmers.

Pretending is not the purpose, developing the territory is the real meaning!

Zong Shen rode the little black dragon and roared into the air. Under the sunlight, the little black dragon looked majestic.

The scales all over the body have a deep matte color and almost no reflection.

A huge shadow covered the sky and the sun. Under Zong Shen's order, Xiao Heizi circled the sky three times and let out a huge dragon roar.

Xiao Heizi seemed to have contained all his anger towards Zong Shen in this roar.

Therefore, this roar was earth-shattering, so loud that even dozens of kilometers away, the outpost in the northern mountain forest monitoring the evil energy pollution of the Goblin tribe's ruins could hear it.

The mobile troops stationed there, the dragon eagles under the Dragon Shadow Knights, were also alarmed.

"dragon?"

"The direction seems to be towards those gathering places that appear out of nowhere in the south."

"But Bezos seems to have already counted these gathering places. Why didn't he report it?"

In the wooden house of the outpost, which is also the monitoring station, a middle-aged man in a robe looked to the south and said to himself.

He is the person in charge here, to be precise, the temporary person in charge. He will supervise here for one year, at which time Jucheng will send a new person to replace him.

The aftermath of the real dragon's roar could be faintly transmitted here.

The faint dragon power made the dragon eagles in the circle restless.

"Let the Dragon Eagle Team..."

"Forget it, let's go on foot to investigate."

"It's estimated that the round trip will only take three or four hours."

"If there is a real dragon around, both the dragon eagle and the horses will tremble!"

He decisively issued an order, and the warrior wearing Avalon's standard armor nodded and left the cabin with the armor on his waist.

…

Zong Shen didn't expect that Xiao Heizi's voice would get louder and louder after not seeing each other for a few days!

This roar not only frightened the farmer, but also made the place below suddenly become quiet.

Even the contained [Bloodtusk Wild Boar], [Griffin], [Giant Eagle], [Manticore Tiger], and horses were all affected by Long Wei, and they all trembled and curled up their heads.

Those [Adult Chimeras] performed pretty well and roared in response.
