Chapter 944 - 545: Inheriting Unclaimed Territory and Making a Quick Buck

Two Tier Three Mad Axe Warriors, along with six Tier One Self-Trained Infantry, and two Tier Two Self-Trained Infantry.

There are still thirty-two farmers left in the territory.

Nineteen men, thirteen women.

The ratio isn’t very balanced, but it’s quite normal.

Judging by the location of this Lord’s territory.

Zong Shen estimated that most of the farmers in his territory should have come from the chaos in Odu Village back then.

It’s also possible they came from the refugees in the wilderness.

There are many ways to acquire population.

But regardless of the method, normally women tend to be fewer than men.

Because in situations of war or other chaos, women’s survival ability is significantly weaker than men’s.

This is a very common situation.

As for resources, there’s nothing noteworthy.

All kinds of resources in the Storage Box add up to just a few thousand.

Not enough for Zong Shen to build a wave of residential areas.

Now in his residential area, they’re all Tier Four [Two-Story Stone House].

Needs to start from Tier One Grass Hut and gradually build up.

These few thousand resources, on average, are enough to build ten to eight Two-Story Stone Houses.

As for items, they include personal relics of the fallen Lord.

There is actually one Rare Level piece of equipment.

And a few Excellent Level and Refined Level items.

Zong Shen speculated that this Rare Level equipment and those Tier Three Defense Towers from earlier should all come from the previous rounds of Points Exchange challenges.

That can be considered the entire property of this unlucky Lord.

The final allocation results are as follows.

The Rare type equipment is severely damaged, with only half Durability remaining.

Zong Shen readily gifted it to Jiang Yi.

As for resources, the two of them evenly split them, and these resources were distributed on the spot.

In terms of Warrior allocation, Zong Shen was rather domineering.

The Wolf Cavalry took six directly, and the remaining Dragon-kin Ranger and Mad Axe Warrior, he took all of them.

And those Tier One and Tier Two Self-Trained Soldiers were left to Jiang Yi.

After distributing the Warriors, they began distributing farmers.

Zong Shen took all the female farmers, plus 11 male farmers.

Once the population distribution was complete, they began to return on-site.

This population doesn’t need to be immediately brought under Command.

Because they are all in an unclaimed state.

This state is calculated from the Lord’s demise and will last for 24 hours.

Within the Duration, they will preferentially belong to the inheritor who gathers them.

This dozen of people, plus those Warriors, aren’t so easy to take back.

For Jiang Yi, the buildings are the same.

Zong Shen, due to the Shadow Wormhole, could quickly migrate the buildings back to the territory.

But Jiang Yi didn’t have such convenient Spatial Skills.

She still had to manually choose to relocate, then move with the building’s shadow.

Thus, Zong Shen let Reese Ulysses open the Shadow Wormhole again.

Let all farmers and Warriors pass through the Shadow Wormhole and first enter his territory range.

Then let Jiang Yi take away those who belong to her.

Compared to long-distance trekking, the Shadow Wormhole was simply extremely convenient.

It just requires consuming some Mana to open.

Upon seeing this situation, Jiang Yi also understood and simply gave up the allocation rights to the Building Relocation.

And didn’t propose any additional distribution demands.

Upon seeing this, Zong Shen packed the remaining Basic-Level Fertile Land and those Tier One Elemental Arrow Towers back to the territory.

Even mosquito limbs are meat!

As compensation, he promised Jiang Yi that in the upcoming distribution, she could receive a slight tilt in resource and equipment distribution.

Allowing her to allocate a bit more resources.

Thus, the two of them started a hurried journey of inheriting unclaimed territories.

It took a total of three hours.

They searched eight of the ten key-labeled territories.

The remaining two were snatched by other Lords during their inheritance.

Meanwhile, within a hundred-kilometer radius, only twenty to thirty unclaimed territories were left.

As they acted, the surrounding Lords were rapidly consuming those unclaimed territories.

After all, Zong Shen had already missed the best timing.

Because earlier, he wasn’t too enthused about it.

If Zong Shen had chosen to immediately start searching for unclaimed territories to inherit after defeating the Flame Demon Boss,

Then by nighttime, he could have inherited at least a hundred unclaimed territories.

But Zong Shen always held a sort of nonchalant attitude towards it.

Judging from his current strength and territory development progress level, his mindset had long departed from its initial state.

No longer meticulously calculating as before.

His development style now leaned more towards grasping the bigger direction, mastering the overall development vein.

He’s indifferent to some trifling benefits.

While these unclaimed territories, if consolidated, still represent an extensive wealth.

However, Zong Shen still wasn’t too concerned.

In terms of population, he could approach nearby villages and Bang City.

Including Boss Bang and the neighboring tumultuous Saiaka City, which are excellent targets.

In terms of resources, the output of mines, the sales of territorial materials, and the trade of gemstones in the basement could exchange a large volume of various resources, perfectly meeting territorial development needs.

As for strength, Zong Shen long could challenge Overlord Level Fierce Bird Magical Beasts.

In all aspects, things had stepped onto a proper track.

So now he was in a rather free-spirited state.

If there’s a benefit, we’ll take a bite along.

If it’s too much trouble, then eating less is fine.

But truly when it comes to contending for significant interests, Zong Shen would also pursue without regard to cost.

And like population, resources, low-tier Warriors, such things.

Now they no longer fit into his priority choices.

However, having tasted the sweetness of inheriting unclaimed territories, these remaining unclaimed territories.

He wouldn’t plan to let them go, prepared to continue inheriting with Jiang Yi.
