Chapter 239 The Doubts of the Reborn, Zong's Eighth-Level Territory (12,000 on the Day)

As for the reason why the people who eat melons are so convinced, it is actually very simple.

Because now we are in the midst of a crypt challenge, and we must be ready to resist the attacks of crypt monsters at any time, and no one can be alone.

Being able to carry out the task of territorial expansion under such circumstances is enough to demonstrate Zong Shen's strength. This guy is definitely a hidden boss!

This immediately detonated the gossip enthusiasm of the melon-eating crowd.

The name Zong Shen soon became a hot word in [World Channel]!

...

In the Kugit Empire on the western side of the continent, in the mountainous empire territory, there is an open basin area with a large area.

More than 7,000 surviving lords are scattered in this area, and the development of one of them is remarkable. A settlement has initially formed, with more than 200 farmers and 50 or 60 soldiers.

But a small percentage of these soldiers are second-level light infantry recruited by barracks and training books.

There are only thirty or forty professional soldiers recruited by the finished recruitment tickets.

Even so, this level of strength is enough to disdain this area.

There are many arrow towers in the territory, guarding all directions. No city walls were built, but the territory was surrounded by horses and roadblocks. Occasionally, there were carriages carrying merchants and goods into the territory.

They sell some handicrafts and living materials brought by them, and at the same time purchase some livestock products such as poultry, eggs, cattle and sheep in the settlement.

Animal husbandry has also developed in this territory, and some cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks are kept in captivity, and a lot of farmland has been reclaimed around the territory. Unfortunately, due to the challenge of the crypt, these farmlands are left unattended.

If you look down at the entire territory from above, you can find that this territory has begun to have some signs of prosperity.

This development progress is only stronger or weaker than Zong Shen, especially his number of farmers, which is really enviable for the current Zong Shen. Being able to obtain so many farmers in a short period of time shows that he has mixed in with the nearby aborigines forces. Like a fish in water.

The fastest way to gain population is to loot, but this also means that you will be on the opposite side of the local aborigines, just like the Church of Calamity Raven in Odo Village, which will continue to be attacked by the aborigines. The crusade of the army.

Unless your strength is strong enough, this path will not work in the early and middle stages of development.

In addition, it is to build a good relationship with the aborigines, often help the aborigines solve problems, and obtain the right to regularly recruit farmers in the local area.

Another is to accept the villages that have been destroyed by bandits or heretics or some kind of monster, and accept the villagers who have lost their homes, but no matter which method is used to obtain the population, it cannot hide that the lord of this territory is an extremely strong man. fact.

Farmers are rich enough to train soldiers, and the ratio of army to civilians is relatively more balanced.

There are only thirty-four farmers in Zongshen's territory, but there are more than seventy soldiers. This ratio is very uneven. Although there are more than two hundred kobold laborers, it is actually useless.

Kobold laborers are equivalent to armed miners. They can solve the labor problem of quarrying and mining, but after all, they cannot replace the important position of the basic population of farmers.

Therefore, increasing the population is also one of Zong Shen's short-term development goals, but in this territory, this lord has completed it one step ahead of Zong Shen.

At this time, just outside this territory, a man wearing light blue light armor and a chain helmet was pulling out the spear in his hand from the head of a zombie.

Behind him were a dozen warriors, who were cleaning up a group of crypt monsters with him.

The crypt monster here is different from the area where Zong Shen is located. It is a combination of ghouls and carrion beetles. There are also flying monsters in the sky, but they are not gargoyles, but night devils with two pairs of slender wings.

The attributes are comparable to those of gargoyles, and the tiers are also captain-level, but the types are different, but the overall configuration of crypt monsters is similar.

Suddenly, a red-billed parrot landed on his shoulders. He stopped the killing, took a few steps back, and left the fighting range.

He reached out and took off the chain armor that was protecting his neck, and held it in his hand. Under the helmet turned out to be a very young man.

He should be only seventeen or eighteen years old, his expression is very indifferent, there is no emotional color in his eyes, and the overall temperament is very stable and sophisticated.

After he took off his chainmail, the parrot leaned his head next to his ear.

"Dear Lord Chen Rui, Lord O'Donnell asked me to convey to you, please check the ranking."

"Someone has replaced your ranking, and it is currently a fifth-level territory."

The parrot spoke in a loud voice, and there was no difference between the ear and the ear.

It has been more than an hour since Zong Shen was promoted to the fifth-level territory.

After speaking, the parrot waved its wings and flew away from here.

Chen Rui's expression changed a lot, and he, who had always been calm, showed an incredible expression.

He shook his head dazedly and took a few steps back.

The expression on his face changed from disbelief to deep doubt.

He stopped in place and opened the [Territory Level Ranking].

Zong Shen was ranked first, and his level was not level 5, but level 8!

That is to say, during the period of news spreading, Zong Shen has been promoted to the third-level territory!

"It's impossible!"

"There is no such person among the top 100 lords in the last life."

"How could it be possible to suddenly rush to the first place now."

"Could it be that history has been rewritten?"

Chen Rui regained his composure again, but still had a puzzled expression on his face.

From the first day of landing, he has arranged the trajectory and plan of all development.

And everything is indeed similar to what he planned. He is not like a lord who came for the first time, but an aborigines with rich experience.

Therefore, his development speed was extremely fast, and he quickly accumulated favorability among the aborigines. At the same time, he took the lead in exploring several ruins in the area, and obtained a strong military capital. Then, with the soldiers under his command, he wiped out a group of looters. The bandit, who sold human beings to slave traders for a living, got one or two hundred farmers at one time, laying the foundation for development.

Among them, there are two hero-level talents. The detailed prediction step by step has allowed him to reach the current development speed. Before that, all the circumstances were under his control.

What he is worried about is not that someone has reached the level 5 territory, but that there is a variable, a variable that he has never seen before, a butterfly's wings are gently flapped, and a storm may be born thousands of miles away.

That's right, he was a regenerator who died ten years after the lord came.

When the descendants mastered most of the population and resources of the entire continent, the real disaster and challenge officially began.

The entire sky was completely opened up and became some kind of channel...

He finally understood the meaning of the term "Earth", and also understood why the continental forces of the last era would leave the stage sadly. Everything was for a terrible dispute!

He originally belonged to a middle-level lord, attached to the thigh of a legion commander in the area, and the territory has also developed to the level of a state city.

But under the catastrophe, he died tragically after a few days of being unable to resist.

But the sky does not kill him, Chen Rui was reborn the day before the advent happened.

He tried to spread the news in advance and attract attention, but it was just useless.

The arrival happened very suddenly, except for some small items such as watches, pendants, rings, etc., which could not be brought into this world.

However, Chen Rui's biggest advantage came after it arrived.

He knows almost all the ruins in the entire area and knows how to obtain many treasures.

They also know how to gain the trust of the aborigines in the early stage and how to gain more population.

Although I don't know the situation in other regions, but for the various major events that have occurred in the entire continent in ten years, various alien strongholds. Heresy forces, the changes of aboriginal forces are well known.

This has a great advantage for his development. Those legion commanders who can rise are all overlords of a region, but in this life, the overlord of this region will eventually be his Chen Rui!

Originally everything developed according to his expected trajectory, but now the variable has finally appeared.

"I don't know where this Zong Shen is sacred."

"His name was not among the commanders of all regions in the last life."

"All the lords of the giant city level and the imperial city level do not have his name."

...

"Variables have appeared, and I must grasp all the resources in the entire region as soon as possible."

"Especially the ancient altar... It must be taken down as soon as possible."

Chen Rui is indeed a man of two generations, and he quickly adjusted his mentality.

The rise of Zong Shen and the emergence of variables, he has no power to change, the only thing he can do is to speed up the development and master all the relic resources in the area as soon as possible, so as to take the lead.

When the catastrophe broke out, he would have the possibility to change his fate.

It's not that he hasn't tried to tell other lords about the cataclysm.

But in any way, he couldn't say it, the words he said would be silenced, and the notes and passwords he left behind would also be erased.

There is no way to do it in any way, as if the laws of this world forbid him to say it.

Therefore, the big layout cannot be expanded, and we can only try our best to develop ourselves.

Chen Rui's expression returned to normal, but his eyes became deeper again.

He raised the long spear in his hand, raised it forward again, and stabbed the gap between the head and body of a carrion beetle. This is its weakness. As a rebirth, he naturally knows the weaknesses of some monsters.

The battle continued, and Chen Rui didn't react too radically, and seemed to accept this fact.

...

At the same time, among Zong Shen's territory, the fifth-level territory is already a thing of the past.

The news fell behind again in just an hour.

Because Zong Shen has been promoted to three levels non-stop during the period of news spreading.

Now that his territory has reached the eighth level, he stands out at the top of the list, which is in stark contrast to the second-ranked Chen Rui's four-level territory.

After Zong Shen rose to the eighth-level territory, he decisively stopped the pace of expansion.

He still attaches great importance to the advice of the strategy module. The strategy module recommends not to exceed level 8. He is not ready to take risks, and now the territory of level 8 is enough to achieve his expected goal. In the open space outside the lord's courtyard, various beasts The corpses were piled high as hills.

There are hundreds of corpses of various beasts here, all of which were attracted by the expansion mission.

If handled properly, enough territory to eat for a long time.

As for the corpses of some humanoid monsters, Zong Shen all had the wolf cavalry take them a few kilometers away to bury them.

He didn't want the territory to become a mass grave. After he raised the level of the territory, the [Private Chat] was in a state of explosion, and even the [Family and Friends Channel] kept flashing.

As long as the territory is upgraded to the first level, the [Ranking List] can be opened. Basically, as long as the lords are not too lucky, they can quickly upgrade to the first-level territory.

So when the news of Zong Shen's rush to the top of the list appeared, many people opened the [Ranking List] to check, and the news took off immediately.

In this world, because of the geographical isolation, it is difficult for the lords to talk about it together. This time Zong Shen is on the list, obviously it is a topic that makes melon eaters excited.

Zong Shen glanced at each channel, whether it was [World Channel] or [Regional Channel], he could see the chat subtitles mentioning the word "Zong Shen" quickly swiping.

This movement was much bigger than when Chen Rui rushed to the level 3 territory. After all, most of the lords had not upgraded their territories to open the leaderboard. The mass base this time is much larger than the last time, and the scale of natural transmission is not of the same level.

Not to mention Zong Shen's [Private Chat], it has already been crowded, and many people have privately chatted with themselves through the listing information in the [Market].

Including Jiang Yi also sent several messages one after another, expressing his amazement and admiration, Zong Shen simply replied, and then closed other [channels].

Only the [Family and Friends Channel] was left, and he still had to reply to Azer's message.

As soon as I opened the [Family and Friends Channel], five or six messages in a row popped up.

The times at which these messages are sent vary.

It perfectly interprets Zong Ze's psychological changes.

"Brother Six Six Six! Fifth-level territory!"

……An hour ago

"Fuck, this is already level six!"

...forty minutes ago

"Fuck it! It's level seven!"

"Brother, you are too fierce!"

... three minutes ago

"Eighth-level! In just a while, we will reach the eighth-level territory!"

"Is there any missing pendant on the leg?"

"I'm only a third-level territory now, and the crypt challenge is getting harder and harder, so I don't dare to expand!"

Looking at what A Zefa said, Zong Shen could already imagine his expression.

His younger brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, because he has seen the third-level territory of Aze before, ranking in the top 100, which means that he has risen to the third-level relatively early, and now he must have spare energy.

Zong Shen's reply was very simple, and he didn't say much about the territorial level.

"I'm not short of resources, I'll give you some!"
