Chapter 1001 - 564: Level 7 City Lord’s Mansion, Lively Territory Night

The total height has reached at least thirty-five meters.

Aside from changes in appearance, the Durability Values of various places have also greatly increased.

The special Defense Effects they come with have also improved significantly.

This is the transformation of the Seventh-level Lord’s Fortress.

According to this situation, the Lord’s Fortress will certainly become a majestic castle in the future.

Zong Shen has no doubt about this.

Anyone attempting to breach the City Lord’s Mansion within his territory will find it a very difficult task.

He stood outside and took a rough look, without closely observing the specific changes of the City Lord’s Mansion.

As the area of the City Lord’s Mansion continues to expand,

The connections of the four wooden city walls in the Inner City have long been pulled into wide gaps.

It looks quite out of shape now.

Speaking of which, those wooden city walls were originally built during the Burrow Challenge period.

Now, they can no longer keep up with development trends.

We can only wait for the territory to build the outer city walls in the future and then move these city walls there.

At the very least, it can save some resources.

After upgrading the Lord’s Fortress, Zong Shen took out a Burden-Bearer Mecha.

This is his usual means of transportation within the territory.

Zong Shen has now become a very skilled Burden-Bearer Mecha pilot.

As a result, he has become more proficient in piloting other Magic Energy Mechas or Magic Energy Mechanisms.

Zong Shen started the Burden Bearer and directly pulled the power lever to the maximum.

He advanced at full speed towards the living area.

The top speed of 30 kilometers per hour is not even close to that of electric bikes on Earth.

But in this Otherworld, it is already considered a good travel option.

At least it is much more comfortable than riding a horse.

Stone roads have not yet been built within the territory.

But the repeatedly compacted land is also quite good.

The Burden-Bearer Mecha’s tracks pressed over the ground, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

It only takes six to seven minutes for the Burden-Bearer Mecha to travel from the Central District to the living area.

Compared to the somewhat quiet center area, the living area, as the gathering place for the territory’s population, is significantly more lively.

Several large bonfires have been lit on the surrounding open spaces.

This is also the main lighting method for the territory at night.

There are even dedicated bonfire points.

Not only has an area been cleared of any weeds.

But also a circle of firebreak ditch has been dug around the bonfire points.

To prevent sparks from igniting the grassland.

Driving the Burden-Bearer Mecha, Zong Shen could hear the clamoring of voices and discussions from afar.

Hoy and Marie are leading over a thousand farmers from the territory, holding a training meeting in the open space next to the living area.

So many farmers gathered together.

It looks quite spectacular.

A large bonfire was lit in the middle of the crowd.

Unknowingly, the territory has started to become lively and bustling.

Lately, the population within the territory has been growing rapidly.

Including that batch of refugees from Boss Bang and the received Unclaimed Territory.

Additionally, according to Marie, there’s also a batch of refugees in Sitanos Village.

Master Mars is negotiating with Village Chief Spike, wanting to hand these refugees over to Zong Shen.

However, Village Chief Spike seems to have other plans.

The two sides are still discussing.

Refugees represent a major direction for future population consolidation.

Especially with the adjacent Bang City in chaos.

Next is the plot around nearby villages.

Zong Shen has plans in this regard as well.

He intends to take Dinan Village under his control.

Gradually integrating it into the territory.

It is foreseeable that in the upcoming period, the territory will further achieve a leap in population.

Actually, farmers have some basic farming skills more or less.

But the farming techniques they know are quite crude.

All belong to small-scale farm planting.

The yield from the fields depends entirely on nature’s mercy.

Don’t even mention researching agricultural techniques; it’s barely enough to sustain themselves.

Furthermore, it varies with each city policy.

The poorer the area, the more onerous the taxes.

Farmers either flee their region or turn into roving bandits.

There’s a thin line between refugees and roving bandits.

In this situation, the living environment only becomes increasingly chaotic.

One wouldn’t say otherwise; this is the reality for most of this world’s bottom-level Indigenous People.

Otherwise, Zong Shen wouldn’t say the native forces exist like a powder keg.

He slowed down the speed of the Burden-Bearer Mecha, silently glanced at the perimeter, and then directly left here.

Judging by the situation, tonight’s agriculture training conference will continue for quite some time.

Zong Shen doesn’t care much about its Effect.

This move is just so the farmers don’t remain idle.

It’s also laying the groundwork for the territory’s upcoming farming endeavor.

And on the open ground in another direction in the living area.

Wenresa and Luna have already summoned all the warriors.

Including the long-range Crossbowmen and all kinds of Mages responsible for the main output during the Flame Demon crusade.

Even the Mages meditating in the Magic Hall have been gathered.

After the day’s battle, the warriors are somewhat fatigued.

But they naturally won’t slack off against the Lord’s call.

Everyone organized themselves in the usual formation.

Arranging into four phalanxes.

The first phalanx is the Cavalry Phalanx composed of Wolf Riders and other Heavy Cavalry.

The second phalanx includes all the melee infantry.

In this phalanx are the Avalon Swordsmen, Nordic Mad Axe Warriors, Rodok Soldiers, and Dragonized Spear and Shield Warriors.

The third phalanx consists of all the Crossbowmen.

The fourth phalanx is the Mage squad, with Mages of different tiers and types organized into a mismatched formation by squads.

Meanwhile, in all the phalanxes, troops of the Same Tier are organized into small teams.

For simple arrangement.

The single most populous troop type within the territory is still the Wolf Cavalry.
