Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Chapter 950: Alpha hint

Because of the time difference, Zong Shen doesn't have to worry that someone will grab the cash now.

There was a gap of six or seven hours between him and the other lords.

When he started to contact the mysterious merchant Alpha, the other lords should have already completed the exchange of the mysterious merchant beta.

Even if a few lords missed Alpha before and delayed until now to have a chance to contact, they should spend their points on Beta.

After all, Alpha in different time periods has completely different meanings.

The more time goes on, the less important and important he is to the lord. Beta is just the opposite of him. As time goes on, the importance of Beta to the lord will become higher and higher. Zong Shen is only because after reopening. The time difference caused it to be only one step slower.

There is no problem with the general steps.

After checking the functions and tactical value of the remaining [Alchemy Weapons], Zong Shen chose all of them.

The main driving method of these [Alchemy Weapons] is magical energy, and some of them use special ammunition for magical gunpowder to launch attacks.

Such as those [Magic Missile Launcher] and [Magic Musket], they need to be exchanged for special ammunition to function.

Among them, [Magic Missile] even provides two different types of ammunition, [Armor Piercing Type] and [High Explosive Type] for exchange.

But now these alchemy firearms have all been exchanged.

All that was left to Zong Shen were those magical weapons.

He first spent 26,000 points to exchange for 13 [Tier V Magic Cannons (Orange)], which he is no stranger to.

The [Magic Artillery Turret] in the territory is equipped with something similar.

And before that, he once opened the [Tier IV Magic Cannon] from the treasure chest, but there was an extra note on the back with the words "Human Technology".

Those who can fiddle with [Alchemy Technology], [Rune Technology] and master [Magic Craft] are not only those green-skinned goblins.

Humans and Three Castles dwarves also have in-depth research on this technology, but they are not as good as greenskin goblins in terms of technical achievements and craftsmanship, but their progress in the general direction is not much behind, and it can even be said to be neck and neck.

The green-skinned goblins are most praised for [alchemy technology] and [mechanical engineering], and their technical talents in this area are well-known among the intelligent races of the entire endless continent.

The Sanbao dwarves are proficient in [Rune Technology], especially [Rune Forging Technology]. In the last era, this technology once reached its peak. The dwarves used this technology to research many new materials, which greatly Promoted the development of the craftsmanship of weapons, armor stomachs, and golems.

It's just that with the end of the era, the dwarves of the Three Castles moved to the "Fortress of the Gods" and lived in a low-key mountain area, and the related [Rune Forging Technology] also lost a lot. Now the dwarves have mastered it. How many layers of fire are still unknown.

Human beings belong to the mean race in this regard, and the technologies mastered by dwarves and goblins are somewhat mastered by humans, but they have not reached the level of these two races, but in the fields related to [Magic Energy Technology], and In the forging of magical things, human beings maintain a leading stance.

Even in the field of [Mechanical Engineering], there are notable achievements.

In the Endless Continent, human mechanical engineers are only slightly less popular than goblin engineers in general.

Therefore, Zong Shen could not guarantee which ethnicity the magical weapon made by the mysterious merchant Alpha was exchanged here.

Judging from the standard attribute standard of the [Magic Bomb] exchanged before, it is estimated that the probability is human technology.

After Zong Shen's points were deducted, the thirteen [V-rank magic artillery (orange)] were also condensed and stacked on the open space in front of him.

Fortunately, the space of the mysterious hall is not small, and it also has a certain foldable and twisted nature, otherwise, there are so many [Magic Cannons] that I really can't fit.

As a fifth-order [Magic Cannon], these big guys are not small in size.

Each door has a wheeled push frame, and there is a retractable tripod behind it to stabilize the gun body.

Between the push frame and the gun body, there are also height and direction machines to adjust the angle and direction of the gun. After deployment, it can be adjusted within a certain range. It seems to be a dual-purpose gun.

Their shape is not like the front-bore cannons of the early days of the earth, because it does not use the way of gunpowder detonation to push solid projectiles to attack, and does not even require solid projectiles.

Essentially these [Magic Cannons] are bombarded by condensed magic bullets.

So they are not the same as those black powder smoothbore guns on Earth.

The front end is a cylinder with a diameter of less than forty centimeters, the rear end is a square magic bullet generator and energy storage part, and there is a simple launch control switch above.

The barrel part is gray-black, and a large number of runes are engraved in the chamber to accelerate and consolidate the launch of magic bullets.

The chaotic magic energy that swirls after the magic bullet hits causes an explosion-like killing effect.

There is no strong smoke and fire, but it has similar explosive impact and shock force. At the same time, through various enchanting transformations, it can launch special shells such as [Frost Magic Bullet] and [Flame Magic Bullet]. [Magic Artillery Tower] I have already experienced it there.

Different from catapults and catapults, these [Magic Cannons] do have all the characteristics of cannon weapons. Under full fire, the magical energy is consumed very quickly, and the durability of the artillery itself will also be obvious with the frequency of firing. decrease.

It is no exaggeration to say that these [Magic Cannons] are real war consumables.

In fact, they should not be called "artillery", they should be called "magic cannon" to be more appropriate.

Zong Shen stepped away from the place and took out the [Pascal Contract's Big Pocket (Gold)] for storage and storage. These big guys couldn't be put into the storage compartment, and they could only be transported by space magic.

When there was only the last [V-Order Magic Cannon (Orange)] left, he stopped the action of collecting it, stared at the cannon body, and checked its detailed attribute parameters.

[Tier V Magic Cannon (Orange)]

[Quality: Legendary offensive and defensive equipment]

[Range: 150 meters ~ 5500 meters]

[Explosion damage: 193~219]

[Explosion range: radius 40 meters]

【Transmission interval: 22 seconds】

[Sturdy value: 3000]

[Armor value: 35]

[Magic Resistance: 40]

[Durability: 4500]

[The shelling will consume 300 mana points]

[Need a gunner: 1]

[Magic Energy Reserve: 0/90000]

[Skill: Rapid Fire LV10 (reduces the firing interval by 4 seconds, lasts 15 minutes, and has a cooling time of 4 hours)

Activate the lightweight wind spirit rune (can be turned on or off at any time, after turning on, it can effectively reduce the weight of the artillery, suitable for advancing deployment and maneuvering transfer, when it is turned on, it will consume an additional 6 points of magic energy per second)]

[Passive Skill: Fire Oil Incendiary (Lack of enchanted parts, temporarily unable to take effect)

Frozen Slow Bullet (lack of enchanted parts, temporarily ineffective)

Attrition: Each shelling will reduce the durability by 15 points

Observation mode (The gunner can enter the observation mode, and observe the battlefield within the range of 150 meters to 4500 meters from a close-up perspective. The perspective is far and near, and a certain observation and pre-judgment is required)]

[Squad Skill: Xu Jin Barrage (You need to deploy twelve guns of the same rank and the same type to activate the team skill, reduce the firing interval, launch commands in a unified manner, and launch ten rounds of bombardment on the designated area within the next 120 seconds, the barrage will It will slowly advance a certain distance, the cooling time is 2 hours)]

(The 'naked' magic artillery with two less components is installed, and the size of the team is more powerful. Xu Jin's barrage is the magic version of the artillery fire.

As for its other functions, you must be familiar with it

Because of the existence of lightweight wind spirit runes, these artillery can quickly advance or shift positions when necessary)

In fact, Zong Shen is no stranger to these things.

Whether it was the [Tier 4 Giant Turret (Purple)] that was obtained shortly after the arrival, or the [Tier IV Magic Cannon] that was drawn out of the box later, they were essentially the same thing.

They have similar active and passive skills.

The [Tier 4 Giant Turret (Purple)] comes with the active skill of [Quick Reload LV5], the passive skills of [Fire Bullets] and [Frozen Bullets] that are fired at intervals, and [Gunner Mode] for battlefield observation.

[IV generation magic artillery (purple)] is similar. It also has [Quick Reload LV5] as an active skill. As for the passive skills, it also fires [shotguns] and [Armor-piercing projectiles] at intervals. Aiming skills.

Overall comparison, the homogeneity is obvious, but the [V-Order Magic Artillery (Orange)] is of a higher order, so the explosion damage, explosion range and attack distance are much stronger.

Generally speaking, it is not a loss to exchange these thirteen [V-tier magic artillery (orange)], they can be deployed on the defense matrix around the territory, as a defensive weapon, and can also be deployed in space storage props On the battlefield as a siege weapon.

After confirming its attributes and parameters, Zong Shen also put the last [V-Order Magic Cannon (Orange)] into [Pascal Contract's Big Pocket (Gold)].

The in-situ exchange projection interface did not change position with his movement, and it seemed a bit rigid. Unlike the interface of the lord system, it was directly projected in the consciousness. The exchange interface here is just a simple projection.

It's just that it can be controlled by his beliefs, just like a light curtain panel.

Therefore, Zong Shen quickly returned to the original place after collecting all the [V-tier Magic Cannon (Orange)].

He kept his armor on, and every step was quite heavy.

After Zong Shen arrived, he didn't deliberately measure his weight, and he didn't know whether changes in strength would lead to changes in weight.

After all, his body density has increased a lot. If the current arm strength is measured by numerical values, it may have reached the point of several tons or even dozens of tons per arm.

"Heaven Comes"

He doesn't know the specifics, because the attribute values ​​here can measure almost all indicators, and even if he has a strong power, after adapting, he can complete various delicate operations, which has little impact on daily life.

Before returning to the projection on the exchange interface, Zong Shen was ready to continue the exchange.

He directly exchanged the remaining three [6th-order Demon Slayer Magic Crossbow (Gold)] and a set of [6th-order Magic Energy Cluster Launcher (Gold)].

After spending 20,500 challenge points, it's actually not that expensive. After all, these weapons are not one-time consumables.

Unless it is catastrophically damaged or its durability is depleted, it can be recharged and recycled multiple times.

Zong Shen's challenge point balance has changed to [3429772], which has been significantly reduced.

It seems that although he has a lot of points, it is far from reaching the point where he can't finish spending.

Just being in the mysterious businessman Alpha consumes about 3 million of his challenge points. It is worth mentioning that there are hundreds of thousands of points spent on questions and additional services.

Including when he exchanged the [V-Order Magic Cannon (Orange)] just now, Alpha was always performing his duty of explaining, but Zong Shen didn't listen very much.

Now that all the flowers are spent, there is no reason to regret it.

Anyway, Zong Shen believes that none of these points are in vain, including those questions that are not cheap, at least broadening his understanding of the Endless Continent and this lord "game".

The information disclosed by the mysterious businessman Alpha is not available anywhere.

"Exchange is also quite tiring..."

Zong Shen rubbed his eyes, he had already taken off his battle helmet, and now he felt a little sore in his eyes.

Exchange is also a kind of knowledge. He needs to understand every item he has exchanged. Only in this way can he be aware of it, so that every exchange item can be arranged in the most reasonable place and play the greatest role. It's worth it!

Efficient and reasonable arrangement of materials and props in hand can also create additional benefits, making development and deployment more effective.

After the challenge points were deducted, the three [6th-order Demon Slayer Magic Crossbow (Gold)] and the set of [6th-order Magic Energy Cluster Launchers (Gold)] he exchanged were also condensed, occupying a piece of small open space.

Speaking of which, Zong Shen has always been interested in these [Alchemy Weapons].

They have the characteristics of mass destruction, and their tactical use is similar to [Magic Bomb]. It is very useful to deal with cannon fodder mobs that are not high-level but have a large number of insects. Even if it is a high-level enemy, a wave of artillery fire Washing the ground or bombing can also disrupt the situation on the battlefield, creating a "king vs.

Zong Shen looked at the magic weapon in front of him with a sense of accomplishment.

He contributed to the construction of the territory like an ant moving house.

One day, he will rely on such accumulated persistence to create a real super giant city and supreme territory!

At this time, Alpha, who was standing beside him, seemed to see Zong Shen's exhaustion. He turned his right hand around behind him, and when he stretched it out again, there was an extra cup of hot coffee on the tray. The delicate silver spoon leaned against the cup. wall.

Just when Zong Shen was about to step forward to check, Alpha suddenly stepped forward, stopped in front, and bowed politely.

"Your spirit seems a little tired, you might as well take a break."

"Drinking a good cup of hot coffee can effectively relieve your emotional and mental state of exhaustion."

Zong Shen turned his gaze and glanced at the cup of hot coffee in Alpha's hand, which was actually a rare purple buff...

After taking it, it can restore mental fatigue and remove mental/mind control skills below level 4.

"Are you charged?"

Zong Shen did not pick it up, but asked cautiously.

Now he won't waste his points on any service, not even a cup of coffee.

Hearing his question, the mysterious businessman Alpha laughed instead.

"Hohohoho..."

"I'm a businessman, yes, but not a philistine."

"This cup is free for me to invite you."

Having said that, his other hand snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

"Time Pause!"

At this time, the redemption countdown has stopped!

"Ten minutes for you, please have a cup of coffee and have a good rest."

"Exchange items always need to be carefully selected, and you have to refer to the needs of various aspects. It is indeed more exhausting. As a former lord, I can fully understand your current state."

Alpha's words are thoughtful and sincere.

After a moment of hesitation, Zong Shen raised his hand to take it.

"Then... thank you."

He nodded slightly in thanks and took a sip of coffee.

The bitter taste filled the mouth and occupied the palate, but it soon turned into a sweet mellowness. After swallowing it, the spirit was suddenly refreshed, and it was like taking a cold bath, sweeping away the exhaustion.

"You're welcome, this can only be regarded as a trivial expression of my gratitude to your Kang."

Alpha showed a peaceful smile and answered politely.

Zong Shen quickly finished the coffee in his hand, and looked at Alpha's attitude and sighed in his heart.

"This guy is not a pure profiteer."

Although his favor for Alpha increased a lot, Zong Shen didn't show it, and immediately diverted his attention by thinking about other things. After all, in the mysterious hall, Alpha could feel him The model lake idea.

It has to be denied that such a little care is really good, but no one can tell whether there are other purposes hidden behind this show.

After drinking the coffee, the empty coffee cup in Zong Shen's hand, along with the tray and silver spoon, turned into fine light spots and dissipated, without any cleaning.

Taking advantage of Alpha's pause, Zong Shen was going to chat with him to see if the kid had any information that he wanted to hint at.

Previously, Alpha leaked some secrets, so he was warned by the lord system, and then this guy changed his original image of being a narcissist and became silent. Except for fulfilling the responsibility of introduction, he basically did not say any gossip.

It can be seen that this guy seems to be willing to reveal the secrets of the lord's "game" to himself, as if planning for something in advance.

Maybe this sudden gesture of goodwill is also to secretly inform himself some information?

Sure enough, after Zong Shen finished his coffee, Alpha looked around.

He used his authority to suspend the lapse of ten minutes of redemption time. At this time, the Mysterious Palace was in an alternative state of time-stop.

After careful confirmation, Alpha's expression suddenly changed from gentle to serious.

"Time is limited, I won't tell you that nonsense."

"You are the most potential lord among the group of lords I have seen."

"In the future, if you can go to the Supreme Prism, I hope you can help me participate in the struggle to dominate the divine right."

"So far, you have a good idea. It's best not to mention this word in the future. You will understand it one day."

Arda's tone was hurried, and his eyes were as bright as stars. He no longer had the image of a businessman before, but became more capable.

However, he still maintained a certain respect for Zong Shen, calling him "you" from the beginning to the end. After finishing this thoughtless speech, Alpha instantly switched his expression as if he had changed his face.

There were also some naughty blinks at Zong Shen, which caused goose bumps on Zong's arms.

Neither of them spoke, and Alpha knew that Zong Shen had listened.

Zong Shen closed his eyes, because there are basic rules that the supreme cannot supervise and interfere with thinking, so his heart has become the safest safe.

He didn't look on the surface, but inside he had already set off a storm.

"Alpha is... trying to win me over?"

"The Supreme Prism...?"

"Help him fight for the dominion of the divine right...?"

Zong Shen reviewed it in his heart, and vaguely felt that there was some kind of big secret hidden in Alpha's words that could not be touched in a short time, but he was a little confused, and he was not sure what these terms represented.

It can only be guessed that it is something related to the "Lord System Permissions".

"call…"

He took a deep breath to calm down,

I decided to keep these words in my heart, and I will have the opportunity to verify it in the future.

When Zong Shen reopened his eyes, his mood also returned to a calm state. The cup of hot coffee worked well, and his mental fatigue was indeed relieved a lot.

Neither Alpha nor him were talking until the short rest period ended, and the countdown for the exchange resumed. Zong Shen walked to the [6th-order Demon Slayer Magic Crossbow (gold)] as if nothing had happened. 】beside.

Once again, he took out [Pascal Contract's Big Pocket (Gold)] and collected two of the giant crossbows, and left one quietly in its place, waiting for his inspection.

Below the [Tier VI Demon Slayer Magic Crossbow (Gold)] in front of him is a metal disc base with a diameter of six meters, which can rotate 360° without dead ends.

The giant crossbow as a whole is different from the conventional positional crossbow. It has a crossbow arm, a crossbow machine, and a crossbow chamber, but it does not have a crossbow string and a matching winch.

Because it does not need to reload the giant crossbow, the arrows fired are condensed by magic energy.

The arm span of the crossbow machine is about five meters, and the length of the crossbow frame is four meters. There are also adjustment parts similar to the height machine below, which can adjust the up and down angle and aim to a certain extent.

As long as the giant crossbow is placed on the tower, it can achieve full-scale strikes.

It can achieve both air-to-air and horizontal-to-ground shots.

The lower disc base can be placed on most flat surfaces.

Such as towers, fort shooting platforms, and even platforms built on positions can be adapted.

It's just that the mobility is not very good. Unless you use space magic to quickly transfer, in most cases, it can only be placed on the ground.

It takes a lot of labor to lift it away.

Zong Shen leaned over and held the crossbow rack with both hands, his arms bulging and exerting force, the heavy giant crossbow was slowly lifted by him, and then put down again.

"It's quite heavy, these magic weapons are not light in weight."

He commented in his mind.

In fact, except for a few lightweight magic materials, most of the alloys made of rune forging metal are not light in weight, so that the crossbow body is strong enough.

The most effective way to reduce the weight of such magical weapons and magical vehicles is to place wind runes and use the power of magical runes to reduce the weight.

The second is to use the space props to store them directly, and there is no need to directly carry them. This is why the dwarf uncle's arms are all knotted muscles, and even Tiezi has recruited a large number of apprentice handymen to help.

After knowing what to do, Zong Shen probably had a plan on how to place the three giant crossbows.

The main body of the giant crossbow uses a lot of rune forging alloys, and the silver-gray texture makes it look a bit sci-fi, not like a crossbow machine, but more like some kind of technological equipment.

The second half of the crossbow machine also has a magic energy gathering device, which will convert magic energy into crossbow loss and condense it on the crossbow bore.

After all, this thing is an energy weapon.

After the preliminary appearance observation was completed, Zong Shen's eyes narrowed, and the golden subtitles marked its attribute parameters slowly emerged.

[Tier VI Demon Slayer Magic Crossbow (Gold)]

[Quality: Epic offensive and defensive equipment]

【Heavy positional crossbow】

[Range: 100 meters ~ 2500 meters]

[shooting height: 1200 meters]

[Puncture damage: 239~242]

[Explosion damage: 371~417]

[Explosion range: radius 5 meters]

[Attack interval: 30 seconds]

[Durability: 8000]

[Sturdy value: 12500]

[Armor value: 85]

[Magic Resistance: 60]

[Attack will consume 420 mana points]

【Operator required: 2】

[Magic Energy Reserve: 0/180000]

[Active Skill: Overclocking Condensation LV15 (reduces the shooting interval by 8 seconds, lasts 20 minutes, and has a cooling time of 6 hours)

Giant Crossbow Triple Strike LV20 (After activating this skill, three magical energy crossbows will be fired continuously within three seconds, and the explosion range of the hit will be expanded to a radius of 10 meters, and the cooling time will be 2 hours)

Magic shield (consumes 50,000 magic energy at one time, and opens a spherical shield to protect the demon slayer's giant crossbow and the surrounding radius of eight meters. The shield has 50,000 points of solidity and 120 points of double resistance, and can last for 30 minutes. , cooling time 4 hours)]

[Passive Skill: Demon Slaying (Each crossbow strike has an additional 500 points of holy light damage, which can cause double damage to undead, undead, hell, abyss, demons, ghosts, etc.)

Shot attrition (each shot will reduce the crossbow's durability by 15)

Waiting for charging (the charging speed is limited to 100 points per second, and the crossbow machine needs to stop attacking for more than ten minutes before charging)]

(As you can see, this is a large crossbow that can add Holy Light damage to the magic crossbow, each crossbow hit can cause a small-area explosion effect, causing multiple damage to the target hit

The first is the piercing damage of a single hit, the second is the area damage of the magic explosion, and the last is the additional additional holy light damage

According to the rank and blood volume of conventional arms, this magic energy giant crossbow can cause relatively obvious damage to units of rank 5 and below.

However, the lethality to the sixth-order and above targets is very limited.

So it's not suitable for participating in king-to-king battles

However, it is a good choice to use these demon slayer giant crossbows in combination with magic artillery, both of which can effectively strengthen the attack strength of the party)

The attribute parameters of the [6th-order Demon Slayer Magic Crossbow (Gold)] in front of him basically met Zong Shen's psychological expectations.

As a sixth-order epic magic weapon, its power is enough.

You must know that common sixth-order warriors generally have thousands of blood points.

Unless it's Dragonborn, Titans, Giants, Elementals or something.

The legendary powerhouse with hundreds of thousands of health points is not a Chinese cabbage in the field, at least according to the situation of the Endless Continent.

Most of the main soldiers of Bangcheng are in the second to fourth order, only a few fifth-order soldiers exist as the mainstay, and there are some generals of Bangcheng with combat power between the fourth and fifth orders.

Of course, there are also a small number of fortress-type cities with higher-level troops.

As for the mainstream troops of the giant city, it is from the third to the fifth order, and the sixth and seventh orders are high-end combat power.

However, there are always one or two legendary powerhouses in the giant city.

In addition, the throughput of people in the giant city is relatively large, and those who travel to and from the giant city are not allowed to have legendary powerhouses affiliated with third-party forces or scattered people.

All in all, this [Tier VI Demon Slayer Magic Crossbow (Gold)] is more than enough to deal with conventional force. If it encounters a surprise attack from a legendary powerhouse, then only the king-to-king one-on-one strategy is the most effective.

Such city defense equipment and defensive arrow towers can only play an auxiliary role.

It's totally fine to cut down those miscellaneous soldiers.

Zong Shen thought about it, and the golden subtitles that appeared next to him disappeared.

He activated the storage portal of the big pocket again to put away the giant crossbow.

The storage portal of the big pocket does not involve spatial changes, because it exists in the mysterious palace itself, so it will not be affected and hindered.

Just when Zong Shen was about to check the set of [VI Magic Energy Cluster Launcher (Gold)], Alpha suddenly added another sentence.

"If you can build up the best R&D team in the whole continent in the future~lightnovelpub.net~ maybe it will bring you unexpected gains in the future..."

"There has never been a lord who can truly gather the power of one world."

"The technologies themselves represent a force."

Alpha had been introducing the whole process before, and the two sides maintained a certain tacit understanding.

In this way, he once again said some prompting words, which seemed to imply that Zong Shen would set up a strong R&D team as soon as possible in the future, specially to overcome the technical problems in this area. Bring unexpected help.

He nodded noncommittally, without questioning impatiently or saying anything more. One thing that was certain was that Alpha was conveying goodwill to him.

Combined with what Alpha had said before, it was not difficult to reveal that the other party seemed to be certain that he would meet him at a certain level in the future.

In this regard, Zong Shen temporarily held a reservation.
