Survival of the Lord: Starting from the Dilapidated Small Courtyard Chapter 1032: Promise to Mariel, the second prince who reneged on his promise 【Subscription】

"I didn't expect these [beholders] to be 'hybrids', and that [Eternal Demon Race] is a different-dimensional race that popped up from some corner."

"According to the notes in the strategy module, [Eternal Demon Race] and [Demon Race] should be in a state of hostility, otherwise the [Black Demon Eye], which is a blood mutant, would not be hostile."

Zong Shen thought in his heart, the strategy module contains a lot of information, and briefly introduced the origin of [Black Demon Eye].

By the way, it revealed the situation of the different-dimensional ethnic groups in the Endless Continent in the last era.

For the aborigines, the dimensional world is no secret.

All forces with a small scale understand it.

And before the blood-burning demon invaded, the Endless Continent was not in a closed state.

From time to time, dimensional rifts will appear, connecting to some unknown world in the void.

Looking back at the present, the Endless Continent is completely sealed off, and the lord system controls everything, so it is extremely difficult to find the dimensional rift.

However, Zong Shen judged based on the origin of the [Yin Shi Arcane Crystal Fragment] on hand that the closure of the mainland this time should be "tailor-made" by the lord system for these lords.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about these questions.

Whether it is the [Black Demon Eye] or the Shadow Poison Assassin League, they are essentially "resources" left over from the previous era. He naturally wants to master the powerful arms as much as possible.

Therefore, he is bound to win the five shadow realms of the Shadow Poison Assassin League!

After successfully completing the recruitment, there was no need for Zong Shen to stay where he was.

He slowly raised his right arm, beckoning nineteen [Black Puppet Manipulators], four [Fallen Shadow Gazers] and six [Black Demon Eyes] to circle back towards the portal.

The sky is gradually brightening, and the faint blue light is dispelling the dark night.

The enclosure not far away was as bright as day, and bonfires were lit everywhere, and from time to time, searchlight beams from magic energy machines could be seen.

When Zong Shen returned to the portal enclosure with the newly recruited high-level scouts/assassins, he happened to see Mariel standing next to a city wall repair site to oversee the work.

San Pang, who has already been promoted to a hero-level talent, is leading hundreds of full-time cooks through the transmission channel with pots of food. This is the unified food provided by the territory.

For the overtime team working in the portal enclosure, priority will be given to the supply of breakfast.

Since the end of the defensive challenge, the citizens under his command have become a little more "human".

They complain when they are tired from work, ask for food when they are hungry, work overtime continuously and even go on strike temporarily.

The higher the loyalty, the higher the labor enthusiasm under the same conditions.

It is many times more troublesome to control than before.

Fortunately, there are quite a few hero-level talents under Zong Shen, who are capable of these tedious tasks.

Zuo Yin and Colby had already returned to the territory to rest.

Mariel is in charge of coordinating the restorative construction of the enclosure of the portal.

Hao Yin took several deputies to deal with the soldiers and resources delivered by the captive lords.

He will carry out detailed statistics and arrange these soldiers reasonably.

Tens of thousands of fighters have far exceeded the original fighter population of the territory. How to form formation training and arrange housing are big problems.

In addition, the sudden surge in population has increased the food consumption in the territory several times.

Conventional food can only be supplied for another 4 to 7 days at most, and the big guys will have to eat dry military rations in the future.

This is also because the Dinan Village was conquered and a lot of food was confiscated.

However, the follow-up food problem is easy to solve. Whether it is from the [market] or the aboriginal city, a large amount of food can be purchased. Anyway, Zongshen is not short of dinars and various resources now.

As for the farming of the territory, it will take at least another month to get back on track.

During this period, the food supply of the territory can only be solved by purchasing or looting.

The development of farming is difficult to achieve overnight, even if the farmland has a lot of bonuses and the birth of natural magic is the same.

It is a trend to reclaim large areas of farmland to be self-sufficient as much as possible, but it cannot be solved out of thin air by just shouting slogans, which involves many problems.

In fact, one of the most important reasons for the current food pressure in the territory is that the population of the territory has grown too fast, and there are tens of thousands of mouths to eat at once. Even in those smaller cities, it is not small. burden.

Fortunately, Zong Shen has always been prepared.

It is necessary to maintain the initial development of farming and the violent growth of population.

Focus on exploration, supplemented by plunder, to further improve the heritage of the territory.

No matter which world you are in, looting is the fastest way to accumulate.

No food, no population, no resources, that is plundering and looting, as long as the fist is hard enough and the sword is sharp enough, all living beings are my lambs.

Zong Shen stood where he was, looking thoughtfully at the portal enclosure before morning light.

After a night of construction, the traces of the conflict that broke out last night have disappeared.

Only the vague smell of blood still lingers in the air, proving the cruelty before.

The farmers who had worked overtime all night stopped their work one after another, squatting in small groups and eating breakfast together, the atmosphere was very lively.

Mariel also took a portion, sat on a pile of logs and ate.

Zong Shen stepped towards her, and the accompanying scouts/assassins entered a stealth state like ghosts.

Sensing Zong Shen's arrival, Mariel raised her head to take a look, then got up quickly, but was stopped when she was about to salute.

"We are not pedantic nobles of the kingdom, so we don't need so many etiquettes."

"Especially on occasion like this."

He waved his hand. In a world where individual force can suppress everything, there is no need to rigidly copy the "spiritual capitalist" customs of the aboriginal nobles.

Although in essence Zong Shen gathers the people and develops the territory for himself, but this is a survival competition after all, unlike nobles who squeeze the middle and lower classes just for enjoyment.

Hearing what he said, Mariel didn't hesitate, and immediately stood up straight.

There are no old-fashioned aristocratic butlers here, no one will be picky about etiquette, and the salutes of the leaders are completely spontaneous.

"My lord, the current restoration and construction of the enclosure is normal."

"More than 90% of the damaged walls have been repaired, and some defensible towers have also been repaired."

"A total of 392 defensive towers below Tier 3 were permanently damaged."

"In addition, the wood resource reserves in the territory have decreased by 30%, and the stone resources have also been consumed by 20%."

"It is mainly used for the construction of the residences required by the newcomers, as well as the daily construction consumption in the past few days."

Mariel put down the food, frowned slenderly, and began to perform the duties of the chief interior officer.

In this regard, Zong Shen just nodded.

He looked at the girl in front of him, and suddenly recalled the scene when he first met.

At that time, Mariel was caught by the gangster Carlisle, who was about to demand a ransom from Lord Mars.

As the first hero-level talent that Zong Shen discovered among the aborigines, he "abducted" Mariel without hesitation.

Of course, the girl Mariel was not willing to be a village woman for the rest of her life.

One should never underestimate the adaptability and learning ability of human beings. In just over a month, Mariel has matured a lot.

She looked back at the slightly appreciative gaze in Zong Shen's eyes, and her cheeks flushed.

The sophistication and maturity that belonged to the chief officer quickly faded away, revealing a bit of a little girl again.

After all, she was just a sixteen-year-old girl.

Moreover, she herself has feelings for Zong Shenxin, her loyalty max and the previous intimate contact have firmly locked the love in the little girl's heart.

"Come to me."

Zong Shen raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a smirk.

Hearing his call, Mariel tensed up all over, as if his words had magic power.

Her mind instantly became chaotic, but her body made the decision instead of her.

In this way, she approached Zong Shen step by step, her body gradually became hot and weak.

Zong Shen raised his hand to hook Mariel's head, and the soft hair was blown back by the breeze.

He kissed her without hesitation.

Feeling the heat from her face and lips, Mariel was shy at first, but then she warmly greeted her.

In fact, the matter of Zong Shen and Mariel was not a secret in the territory.

The strong are doomed to be sentimental, the instinct of creatures is like this.

After a long time, my lips parted.

Mariel's face turned red.

The area within a radius of 30 meters was inexplicably cleared.

Whether it's a farmer eating breakfast or a heroic person in charge of commanding and supervising.

Everyone left here in a tacit understanding, creating a relatively private space.

At least let the lord and the chief officer of the interior affairs have some whispers.

Among all Zongshen's women, the only one he has never met is Mariel.

Compared to Vereesa who voluntarily distanced herself due to her own reasons, Mariel was actually the one who was most "left out".

She expressed her heart to Zong Shen a long time ago, but unfortunately she has not been able to get the desired response for a long time.

In fact, her mind is very simple,

She likes Zong Shen, so she wants to be Zong Shen's woman.

Even if it's just one of them.

But Zong Shen seldom responded to her, and seldom even expressed intimacy to her in public.

What bad thoughts can a girl in Huaichun have?

Therefore, Zong Shen's actions at the moment made her feel flattered.

"Big... my lord..."

Leaning in Zong Shen's arms, she groaned, wishing this moment could last forever.

"Mariel...I really want to be your woman..."

After a moment of hesitation, she chose to express her attitude again, and at the same time wanted an answer.

Zong Shen stroked his head, his expression full of pity.

Why didn't he like this girl who had followed him and loved him so soon from the place where he came down?

It's just that Mariel's age is too young, sixteen years old is still a minor on earth.

Although in the Endless Continent, there are many girls who get married and have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but his original inertial thinking still makes him feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.

But from Mariel's point of view, his concerns were obviously too selfish.

Because all the ideas Mariel accepted came from the Endless Continent.

Here she has reached the marriageable age and can find a suitable husband to marry.

"Two years, wait another two years."

"I'll marry you."

Sensing the thoughts of the girl in his arms, Zong Shen decided to give her a promise.

It's been a long time together, two years is not too long.

What's more, the Endless Continent is a world that does not lack the means of longevity.

Mariel buried her head on Zong Shen's chest, and nodded slightly.

She didn't want much, and such a clear promise was enough.

For two years, she could afford to wait.

And she is also looking forward to the territory in two years.

Zong Shen hugged her as a relief, the two of them were at ease, no one disturbed

…

At the same time, inside the giant city of Lentax.

The outer city, Blacktail Street, is located in the secret room under the Sleepless Night Tavern.

The Raven Maiden Sapphire held an opened letter in her hand with the mark of the Calamity Frost Raven.

Her expression was stern and she looked worried.

Several black-robed bishops around him even paced back and forth, looking a little anxious.

One of the bishops wearing a red eyepatch looked at Saffry anxiously.

"Is the news accurate?"

"The second prince will change his mind?"

(The foreshadowing is in Chapter 567, I forgot to go back)

"Doesn't he want the support of the Church?"

The one-eyed bishop's tone was rapid, as if he couldn't believe it.

Saffry sighed softly, raised her hand and handed over the crumpled letter.

"This is a personal letter from Archbishop Byron, with the bishop's seal on it."

"The news should be true."

"The second prince, Carter Pendragon, has changed his plan. He doesn't want the church to occupy the giant city of Lentax."

"According to the ear report arranged by the church around the prince, the second prince seems to be interested in the daughter of Henry Lancaster, the consul here..."

[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, change the source app, and install the latest version. 】

The one-eyed bishop took the letter, quickly scanned his eyes, and his expression gradually became angry.

"Damn Pendragon bastard!"

"These inbred morons!"

…

"Despicable royal family of Avalon, they have long forgotten the glory of King Arthur!"

…

"God will let him suffer disaster!"

…

"How dare he keep his word? What did the three archbishops of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com say?"

…

At this time, several other black-robed bishops also leaned over, cursing in unison.

Sapphire shook her head, her expression was indifferent, and she didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations.

"Carter Pendragon promised the archbishop that he would replace the giant city of Lentax that should have been traded to the church with the giant city of Hague."

Her words once again ushered in a heated discussion among the bishops.

"The giant city of The Hague?"

"The ruling family there has long pledged allegiance to the Third Princess, Anna Pendragon."

"In the Kingdom of Avalon, several giant cities in the East China Sea are completely under the control of the Third Princess."

"Damn Carter must be upset and kind!"

Facing the excited black-robed bishops, Safli was also powerless to refute.

The power of the church can't compete with the power of the kingdom at all, even the second prince of Avalon can hold them down.

After all, the Calamity Raven Church can only be regarded as a second-rate or third-rate force in the Endless Continent!
