Chapter 1063 - 585: The Strategic Significance of Er Zhuzi and the Token of the Mizang Desert

In other aspects, it is still very generous.

In return, he would not use overwhelming means to deprive him of his rule over Bang City.

However, with the rise of the Lords and the outbreak of conflicts among the Indigenous People.

The conflict between the Indigenous People and the Lords is inevitable.

The Lords, with growing military power, will plunder the Indigenous People like a tide to strengthen themselves.

Ultimately, the ending for Boss Bang is bound to be unsatisfactory.

Zong Shen plans to intervene at the most critical moment to aid, and accept Boss Bang with a gentle stance.

Additionally, nearby Dinan Village and Sitanos Village have also been reserved by him.

He will use Scouts to infiltrate, and replace the village chief with the Illusory Mask of the Shapeshifter (Purple).

To achieve indirect control and strengthen cooperation between the villages and the territory.

When necessary, the merger can be completed seamlessly.

The advantage of doing this is that it will not trigger conflicts between the Territory and Boss Bang’s forces controlled by Baron Bezos.

Simultaneously, it will not increase the Territory’s Command burdens.

It is a flexible and controllable strategy.

It is better for Zong Shen to take advantage of the wool rather than let other Lords pluck it.

Unfortunately, there is only one Illusory Mask of the Shapeshifter.

If only mastery of advanced, or even intermediate Disguise skills could satisfy the requirements.

With a Scout Squad operating in the shadows, the demands for a new identity won’t be too high.

All in all, Tiezhu and the others are entirely a lead introduced by Zong Shen.

They could also be understood as "outposts."

Ensuring that Dinan Village remains within control while testing whether his gentle annexation plan is feasible.

Sitanos Village has Master Mars, and he has some rapport with the village chief Spike.

There is frequent interaction between the Territory and Sitanos Village.

No need to specially dispatch personnel for monitoring.

Marie and Master Mars are sufficient to become the "nails" in the village, helping him grasp the situation.

The situation in Dinan Village is different.

The strategy to annex Indigenous People was a long-term strategy set by Zong Shen early on during his arrival.

Besides providing a base population, the Indigenous Forces also have a certain proportion of Heroic Level talents.

Although these Heroic Level talents aren’t of the best quality, they can satisfy the construction of Command Nodes in the territory, forming a top-down command network.

Much like the structure on Earth going from grid managers to community offices, county offices, city offices, and provincial offices.

Since Heroic Level talents are linked to Command Value, there’s no worry about the structure becoming bloated or his instructions and policies not being effectively executed.

These are developments and strategic level plans that Zong Shen considered and deployed early on.

Now, the time to start harvesting the fruits is approaching.

These are Zong Shen’s true intentions and arrangements.

So Tiezhu isn’t just messing around; their mission is equally important.

With this Advanced Book, and along with the previously acquired Phantom Night Travel Suit (Purple), it’s enough to elevate Tiezhu’s abilities a notch.

Zong Shen glanced at the Advanced Book, a smile appearing on his face.

Speaking of Erzhu, he was one of the three Initial Farmers at the time of his arrival.

Also the most clever among the "Three Stupid Farmers."

First, he became a Nord Shadow Scout through the Reclassification Book.

Later gradually receiving green and blue soul talent enhancements.

And the enhancement of the Soldier Enhancement Pearl.

Compared with the other two Initial Farmers, Tiezhu’s life clearly embarked on the path of counterattack.

His initial selection of Tiezhu was for a simple reason.

The Three Stupid Farmers were lazy and cowardly; only Tiezhu was steady in helping with work.

Thus, Tiezhu naturally received importance.

Just like the self-disciplined Farmer San Pang in the Territory, always being valued by Zong Shen.

Among the farmers’ rights to be mobilized, he is second only to the logistics hero.

Zong Shen was very interested in the self-discipline San Pang undertook with his proactive training.

Unfortunately, there is no suitable Reclassification Book at hand.

Additionally, San Pang lacks interest in combat.

Therefore, Zong Shen doesn’t have a good idea, only letting him maintain his identity as a farmer.

After all, farmers are truly an all-purpose population, extremely adaptable.

When the right opportunity arises, San Pang will also usher in his counterattack.

Watching the Advanced Book, Zong Shen’s thoughts unknowingly drift away.

The Territory’s scale is getting larger, turning the initial destitution into a memory.

Smiling and shaking his head, Zong Shen pressed down his nostalgic feelings.

Putting away the Advanced Book, he retrieved a third item.

This was also the only unknown item that Zong Shen obtained from the 500 Points tier ten consecutive draws!

Token of the Mizang (Unknown)

Quality: Unknown

Effect: Unknown

An extremely ancient token within the Desert of Mizang

(Located in the southern part of the continent, now within the Sarand Sultanate, one of the continent’s few forbidden zones, this token potentially traces back to periods of the era before last. Due to a lack of information, further exploration is needed.

It’s worth noting that the Desert of Mizang is a fully merged Half-Plane, involving secrets from tens of thousands of years ago, and is extremely dangerous)

The background of this token seems to be even larger than the Dream Pearl.

Described as an "extremely ancient" token.

The ages connected to it surpass those at the end of the last Era, reaching tens of thousands of years ago.

Honestly, until now, Zong Shen only has some understanding of the current Era and the last Era. Regarding more remote ages, traces have long been pursued without success.
