Chapter 950 - 547: Gains from the Unclaimed Territory

Zong Shen only understood this yesterday.

As the saying goes, the present is different from the past; different situations require different approaches.

This is another benefit of the Heat Wave Challenge.

With the strategy module, Zong Shen can quickly locate every unclaimed territory.

Plus, there’s the Flying Tiger, a raptor mount with extremely fast flying speed.

And Intermediate Spatial Mage Reese Ulysses is stationed here.

There’s no skill more suitable than the Shadow Wormhole for relocating buildings and populations.

Within a range of a hundred kilometers, Zong Shen can come and go freely.

In summary, these are the advantages Zong Shen has in inheriting unclaimed territories.

One or two unclaimed territories, he can ignore.

But dozens or even over a hundred are worth him taking specific action.

In Marie’s simple notebook, below the warrior class is the farmer class.

This time, a total of 412 farmers were acquired.

Among them, 268 male farmers and 144 female farmers.

The gender ratio remains as unbalanced as ever.

Just as he thought yesterday, in troubled times, the survival ability of females is generally lower.

The farmers acquired by Lords were mostly refugees.

There are rarely populations from stable environments.

That’s why these farmers have such a gender ratio.

Lastly, the number of heroic level talents.

Yesterday, they combined to explore thirty to forty unclaimed territories.

In so many unclaimed territories, only seven heroic level talents were found.

And their talent was quite ordinary.

Two whiteboards, three elite level, two excellent level.

The gender was four males and three females!

These seven heroic level talents can immediately be invested in the territory’s construction work.

As newcomers, the best way to handle them is to let these guys first follow Marie or Hoy, to understand the territory’s logistical status and familiarize themselves with the environment and conditions.

It is thanks to the addition of these heroic level talents.

That the issue of commanding this batch of additional population was smoothly resolved.

Coupled with the spare Command Value of Zong Shen and other heroes within the territory, it is just enough to absorb this batch of population.

After reviewing the list, Zong Shen has a clear understanding of the gains from inheriting the unclaimed territories yesterday.

He closed the simple notebook and returned it to Marie.

He then grabbed his sandwich and ate it heartily.

Sipping occasionally from the jug of milk.

He ate with delight, without making any comments.

Marie accepted the notebook, bowed slightly, and didn’t say much.

She turned and re-entered the kitchen.

Zong Shen quickly finished his breakfast.

And Marie began to clear the tableware on the surface.

He wiped his mouth before looking up at Marie.

In a very calm tone, he said.

"Hoy reported to me that the two hundred farmers intended for the mine have been selected."

"As per the established plan, you will still lead them to the mine."

"Additionally, Dwarf Uncle and the two blacksmith apprentices will accompany you."

"You all go to the mine first, handing over this batch of farmers to Dogman Chief Dutra."

"Then head straight to Sitanos Village."

"Please ensure ten cages for accommodating Dragon Scorpion-tailed Tigers are completed today."

These are matters Zong Shen had already instructed last night.

Marie already had it in her mind.

She gently put down the plates in her hand, nodded slightly to Zong Shen.

"I understand, my lord."

Her voice was as gentle as ever.

Like an oriole in the morning, singing of the beauty within her heart.

No longer the timidity of the past.

This change was indeed due to the training on the territory during this time.

Zong Shen smiled, nodding slightly to give Marie an encouraging look.

He then walked towards the main gate.

Opened the door of the Lord’s Fortress, walked down the steps into the courtyard.

The current Lord’s Courtyard is surrounded by tall and solid city towers.

There aren’t many miscellaneous buildings inside.

Only an artificial ice cellar for storing food.

And a small basement for storing gemstones.

Apart from that, there are only [Moon God Spring] and [Magic Spring].

These two springs are strategic resource-producing buildings in the territory.

Every day Marie collects them into sealed glass containers at fixed times.

Then stores them in the Territory Storage Box.

These springs can be sold to the [Market] for trade.

Or are reserved.

At the right time, they are distributed into small bottles and given to the territory’s warriors.

These two kinds of springs are important strategic supplies and consumables.

Especially [Moon God Spring], it is essentially a hard currency.

It can recover mana, life value, and energy.

In comparison, [Magic Spring] is somewhat inferior, but its role is also important.

It is now an essential item for the mage’s expedition in the territory.

Zong Shen took a look and found both springs had already been collected once.

The remaining is not much.

So he walked to the territory’s Storage Box.

Opened the Storage Box and quickly saw the grids storing the spring water.

He took out the glass containers holding the spring water, extracting a few liters of [Moon God Spring] and [Magic Spring], carrying them as emergency reserves.

The rest remain in the territory’s Storage Box.
