Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 385 - 305: Multi-Faceted Preparations, Final Landing Site Confirmed
Today, there’s no need to arrange patrol squads because the territory now has as many as twenty or thirty defense towers, with nearly half being Tier Four Defense Towers. Without the need for patrols, those scattered burrow monsters wandering around can forget about breaking in.
Everyone can have a comfortable night’s sleep tonight.
It’s a rare moment of peace in the territory, and the mages are all in the Meditation Room of the Magic Hall, practicing meditation.
Luna and Wenresa are under the moonlight, chatting softly together.
Zong Shen himself walked into the Lord’s Courtyard and directly entered a room on the second floor.
He took off all his equipment, preparing to rest.
Lying on the bed, his mind was relaxed. Just before falling asleep, an important thought suddenly struck him, and he abruptly opened his eyes and took out the Communication Crystal.
He dialed number 4, which was the number of the Communication Crystal carried by Tiezhu.
Tiezhu was currently developing in Dinan Village with the Scout Squad, which was Zong Shen’s previous arrangement.
Just before falling asleep, he suddenly remembered he had only focused on sending Marie to Sitanos Village to procure materials, while neglecting his arrangements in Dinan Village.
After about ten seconds, the Communication Crystal was finally connected.
"My lord, do you have any instructions?"
Tiezhu’s voice came from the other end of the Communication Crystal, surrounded by some noise that made his voice unclear.
"Tiezhu, I have a task for you."
"Use your funds to procure a batch of cold-resistant materials in Dinan Village."
"We need all kinds of fur clothing, fur products, warm stoves, and the like."
"Also, procure a batch of easily preserved food. Deliver it to the territory after noon tomorrow."
Zong Shen spoke urgently, as the timelier the procurement, the better.
"Cold-resistant materials?"
"I understand, my lord. I’ll go purchase the materials right now."
"I’ll hire a carriage and personally escort the materials back tomorrow."
Tiezhu said steadily; he was an old confidant under Zong Shen and the only one who had transformed from a farmer to a warrior.
"Great, go ahead. See you tomorrow afternoon."
"Yes, my lord, see you tomorrow afternoon."
Zong Shen hung up the Communication Crystal, and the last burden on his mind was lifted.
With multifaceted preparation, he should be able to seize enough of the initiative.
With this method, Zong Shen could navigate the frosty winter smoothly and even make a small fortune. For Zong Shen, he needed to reap both the benefits of the challenge and the wool from the lord.
He closed his eyes and peacefully entered dreamland.
...
Within one night, time flew by swiftly.
It was already 2:45 in the morning.
"My lord, it’s time to get up."
Luna came to Zong Shen’s bedside, gently stroking his face, and whispered softly.
"Whew..."
Zong Shen opened his eyes, yawned, and quickly became fully awake.
From around 8 PM to now, he’d rested for about six to seven hours, which was plenty for him.
He reached out to touch Luna’s hand that was caressing his face, gently caressing it in return.
Then he got up and donned his equipment.
Once fully equipped, Zong Shen and Luna went downstairs together and walked outside the Lord’s Courtyard.
Outside was pitch black, with a light breeze still blowing as it always did.
All the warriors had already gathered.
San Pang began distributing breakfast, giving each person a roasted flatbread, an egg, and half an apple.
Besides these, each person also received a wooden bowl of milk, which was produced by the territory’s pasture’s dairy cows. The production wasn’t high, and it was only distributed today because it was the final challenge.
Recalling the first meal of roasted wolf meat when Zong Shen first landed, compared to the flatbread, egg, apple, and milk in front of him, he felt a sense of emotion. Both in terms of variety and quality, there was indeed a leap.
After everyone finished eating and drinking, Zong Shen singled out all the wolf cavalry, while the other warriors stood by within the territory.
He rode Pigsy and led the wolf cavalry on a patrol nearby, using the movements of the burrow monsters to determine the location of the regional Boss’s arrival for timely deployment and adjustment.
Once everyone had finished eating and equipping, it was already 3:27 in the morning.
The Communication Crystal on Zong Shen’s chest suddenly lit up. He looked down to see Jiang Yi calling.
He chose to connect the call immediately.
"Lord Zong, I’ve already joined up with seven legion members nearby."
"Now we’re gathering even more legion members."
"We’ve noticed the burrow monsters seem to be moving in the direction slightly north of your territory."
"My reinforcements will arrive at your territory in about half an hour."
Upon hearing Jiang Yi’s words, Zong Shen promptly replied.
"Okay, I’ve taken care of everything within the territory."
"You can enter from either the east or south gate of the territory; I’m heading out to scout."
"If you notice anything else, inform me."
"Alright, Lord Zong. Take care."
The two quickly concluded their conversation using the crystal. At this point, all the lords in the region had entered ally mode.
Lords could freely enter and leave each other’s territories. In ally mode, there was no worry about them causing any damage to the territory.
Zong Shen only needed to close off private areas like the Lord’s Courtyard.
After contacting Jiang Yi, Zong Shen rode Pigsy and led a total of thirty-five wolf cavalry members out of the territory.
Jiang Yi had mentioned seeing scattered burrow monsters gathering slightly north of his location, so Zong Shen directly led the wolf cavalry from the north gate, carefully avoiding trenches and road barriers.
He began searching for traces of the scattered burrow monsters. By tracking these scattered burrow monsters, he could easily confirm the final location where the Boss would appear.
They traveled swiftly in the night and soon discovered some scattered burrow monsters.
These burrow monsters were gathered about a kilometer northwest of the territory.
In the night, those scattered monsters were trekking and gathering, with no signs of a large monster group arriving yet, but the location for the final appearance had already been confirmed.
Indeed, the final challenge was a test for the regional strong, and although the appearance point was within a three-kilometer range, it truly targeted Zong Shen’s territory rather specifically.
It was almost directly in the center of the territory. This one-kilometer distance meant the regional challenge Boss would definitely be drawn to Zong Shen’s territory.
Judging by the final appearance point, the main attack direction for the burrow monster swarm and the regional challenge Boss would be from the north. There might also be some overflow monster groups attacking the eastern side of the territory.
The main attack direction was determined, though other directions would still face pressure, especially during the six-hour assault after the regional challenge Boss appeared, when swarms coming from other directions might launch attacks from their local positions against the territory.
At this time, the final appearance point had gradually gathered thousands of scattered monster swarms comprised of scattered and newly spawned burrow monsters in the region.
