Chapter 1069 - 587: Magic Energy Cola, Plan Arrangement

The "Cola" on Earth was originally a type of cough syrup.

Although Clarissa never tasted cola, as long as Zong Shen described the general flavor, she could make some samples, since a perfect reproduction was not needed.

Recently, he had been so focused on exploiting the Indigenous People’s wool that he neglected the importance of tapping the Lord’s resources.

Now it’s time to pick up this "craft" again.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen’s spirits lifted.

A High-level Alchemist helped him make cola, and a High-level Agriculturalist helped him plant sweet potatoes.

As for the High-level Engineer and High-level Blacksmith, they could help him tinker with the "Armored Griffin Bomber," "Magic Energy War Vehicle," and "Demon Eye Gatling" when they had nothing to do.

If that doesn’t work, Blood Wolf Gujate can take off his battle armor for them to study!

If there’s not enough magic energy technology, extraterrestrial technology can fill the gap.

He agilely got out of bed, donned his full set of equipment, and went downstairs with Luna, arriving in the main hall of the Lord’s Fortress.

The first thing he needed to do now was to have Marie come over to instruct her on some development and construction matters and hand over some items needing storage in the Storage Box.

Second, he had tasks to assign to the three high-level talents who had recently joined the territory.

Finally, he needed to call Korby and Favide to receive their Advanced Book and [Complete Purple Soul].

Once the troop advancement and talent improvement were completed, Zong Shen would bestow upon them the [Heroic Badge (Orange)], allowing them to be officially transformed into heroic-level talents within the territory.

He currently had two [Complete Purple Souls] left in his possession.

However, it wouldn’t take long for him to have more Purple Souls.

As long as he had the [Soul Extraction Bottle (Orange)], he believed there would soon be enough souls.

After completing two consecutive breakthrough actions, he acquired five [Heroic Badges (Orange)].

Adding the one remaining from before, Zong Shen had a total of six [Heroic Badges (Orange)], which means that once the time is right, he could easily advance six heroic-level talents.

He actually already had a good idea of who he would choose to become heroic-level talents.

He took out the Communication Crystal to contact Marie and Wenresa.

He also asked her to bring Favide and the others along.

The crystal connected quickly, and at that moment, Marie was arranging a new defense matrix in the northeastern direction of the territory. Last night, Zong Shen exchanged for 144 defense towers, enough to raise the territory’s defense level by a notch.

Marie noticed the change in the [Construction] list early in the morning.

For her, as a workaholic, this was a piece of great news.

Thus, she got up early in the morning, called Hoy and other logistics heroes, and led dozens of farmers to carry out massive construction works, first building various springs and totems.

Then she constructed the workshop in the southwestern industrial zone and built facilities like the [Tier Four Double-Decker Tavern] in the northeastern commercial area.

As for those [Intermediate Fertile Lands], they were not built for now but roughly planned out.

It’s safe to say Marie has not stopped since morning.

At this moment, she was deeply focused on the defense matrix.

Strictly speaking, Marie was also the territory’s building planner.

The idea of the defense matrix was proposed by Zong Shen and then implemented and perfected by her.

Therefore, she was well aware of the defense gaps within the territory.

In her view, building a defense tower was akin to patching up holes.

Upon receiving Zong Shen’s notice, Marie immediately took out the Burden-Bearer Mecha for transportation and notified the three high-level talents as well as Korby and Favide.

She returned to the Lord’s Fortress in over ten minutes.

She and Wenresa quickly entered the fortress with everyone to report to Zong Shen.

"Lord, everyone is here."

The two women bowed to Zong Shen first, with Marie blushing and smiling.

Her forehead bore a layer of fine sweat, sticking to a lock of her bangs.

For the territory’s construction and development, Marie had ignored her appearance.

Zong Shen returned Marie’s gesture with an affirmative smile.

He then swept his gaze over everyone, as if confirming whether everyone was present.

The others maintained their bowing posture.

Only the goblin engineer Baclon Iron Hand fidgeted uneasily.

For someone with a short temper, such etiquette was too time-consuming.

Right now, it wanted nothing more than to dive into the [Earth Shaker Tank] and admire its structure and study its craftsmanship!

Zong Shen sat at the head of the long table, waved his hand gently, and pointed to the seats beside the table.

"Everyone, please have a seat first."

"I have tasks and matters to instruct you separately."

Hearing the Lord’s words, everyone dared not neglect.

They took their seats in order.

Marie sat to Zong Shen’s right, with Wenresa, Korby, and Favide seated to his left.

The three newly joined high-level talents circled around and sat beside Marie.

The right represented logistics, and the left represented warriors, creating a clear distinction.

Zong Shen crossed his two hands, resting them on the table, and his gaze became slightly serious.

He first turned to Marie.

"Marie, for the newly added building blueprints in the construction list, arrange their construction as you see fit."

"Make sure to complete the placement of the defense towers by today."

"I have other plans for that batch of intermediate fertile lands. I’m planning to create an agricultural zone exclusive to the territory."

"We’ll discuss the specifics in a few days."

"Also, inform Hoy to lead a team of Lion Guard Knights to the mine shortly."
