SEC Chapter 57 The Capture of the Third City
Chapter 57 The Capture of the Third City
Three days after occupying the territory of the Church of Judgment.
All the field troop recruitment buildings and resource points occupied by the Church of Judgment were taken over by Lin Mo and his group.
As a result, Lin Mo's current sphere of influence has more than doubled compared to before.
Within a territory, a 'Deputy Lord' can be appointed. Lin Mo assigned the deputy lordships of the two territories, 'Skull City' and 'Judgment City', to Sander and Genova respectively, so that the territories would be managed when he was not present.
Each territory can be named once, but cannot be changed.
So let's call it Judgment City.
Lin Mo has never cared much about names.
Over the past three days, he rode his skeletal warhorse to the vast forest area in the southeast and found the fortified territory established by Olivia.
He rode his horse and watched from a distance, and after thinking for a while, he gave up the idea of conquering this territory.
It wasn't that he was being chivalrous; it was due to practical reasons.
After taking it down, you need to defend it.
He currently lacks sufficient resources to support the construction of his third and fourth territories; he is short of gold coins, timber, stone, and other resources.
Moreover, keeping Olivia's forces has an advantage: she can help block the threat from the south, allowing him to explore in other directions.
For example, first take over the 'outpost' territory that has already been explored in the northwest direction.
In this way, the area extending nearly twenty kilometers from the stronghold to Skull City and Judgment City would all be his territory. He could gradually occupy all the resources and buildings within this area, and even construct other territory building blueprints if he found them.
Another advantage of having multiple territories connected is that, once the [Teleportation] magic is mastered, it can be built within a territory and used to teleport between different territories, achieving the effect of long-distance, rapid movement.
But that's a matter for the future.
Olivia, inside the fortified territory, had no idea that her territory had almost been lost.
Hasburg, located to the northwest, is a plain with a desolate terrain.
The reason Lin Mo came here to investigate was because he wanted to confirm one thing: whether the terrifying entity that destroyed the Hasburg naval base was related to this stronghold territory.
After all, Lin Mo found traces of Behemoth and Thunderbird activity at the scene.
These are all high-level units of the stronghold forces.
Although the possibility of a connection between the two is not high, it is better to be safe than sorry, and some things must be confirmed. That is why he must investigate this place first.
......
Qiangshi Park.
This place used to be a geopark, and a geological museum was built there.
Now, within an area surrounded by massive rocky hills, stands a uniquely styled territorial fortress.
The main structure, composed of boulders and logs, exudes a fierce and primal wildness at every glance.
The surrounding area is mostly quarries, and survivors are already working inside them.
The lords here discovered that when people work in the quarry, mining and transporting stone, the corresponding resource production also increases.
"Get to work, or you won't get any food today." Inside the shed, several people sat on a somewhat dilapidated sofa, using a cloth canopy overhead to block out the sun.
Standing beside these people were seven or eight goblins.
This is a Tier 1 unit, belonging to the orc class. Although they are not tall, they are physically strong and wield a prototype spiked mace, giving them a terrifying sense of violence.
Just then, the heavy door of the stronghold, made of huge logs nailed together, was pulled open, and a burly man wearing animal skin armor rode out of the stronghold on a huge war wolf mount.
Everyone who saw him immediately stopped what they were doing, knelt on the ground, and showed respect and submission.
This burly man riding the war wolf is the lord of this place.
Lalo Salamanca!
The absolute ruler of this area, anyone who wants to survive in this area has no choice but to obey his orders.
Some people expressed their dissatisfaction and even used guns.
But the result was that, without the lord's troops even needing to lift a finger, he personally tore the troublemakers in half with his bare hands.
The scene was absolutely breathtaking.
Many people who witnessed it vomited on the spot.
From that day on, no one dared to resist anymore.
"Lord Lalo!" The foreman trotted over, a fawning smile on his face.
Lalo stared at the other person and let out a cold laugh.
"Keep a close eye on things; I don't tolerate idlers here!"
"As you wish, my lord!" the foreman said cautiously.
Lalo was originally a truck driver, the kind of redneck typical of North America—simple-minded and physically strong. Besides hauling cargo, his favorite thing to do was drink beer and watch his favorite "Chainsaw" series of movies, enjoying the sensory stimulation brought by the blood and screams on the screen.
At times, he felt he was very similar to the serial killer in the story.
Of course, if he had extra money, he would also take the prostitutes on the street to a motel for a good time, and after that he would drink a beer. Only then did he feel alive.
He panicked when the disaster struck. He drove to the vicinity, but soon fell asleep in the car due to the lack of fresh air.
It took him two whole days to recover.
After that, he survived a period that he found extremely difficult, thanks to the food he had stored in his car and a shotgun.
It might take one day, or it might take two days.
Then his luck changed.
He drove around aimlessly and discovered a strange building. After he ran over several green monsters blocking the entrance with his truck, he found that he could use some gold coins to recruit a type of unit called "Goblin" from inside the building.
Then, he was very lucky to find a territory building blueprint, and after collecting enough resources, he established this territory called "Chainsaw City".
He chose this name himself, and he likes it very much.
Life is so great now. Every day there are many different women, beautiful and with great figures, women I couldn't reach before, who come to me to have a 'party'.
If the mood strikes, kill a few on the spot; you can truly enjoy the feeling of 'dominating everything' like in the chainsaw movies.
In Lalo's eyes, this place is paradise!
He plans to ride his giant wolf mount out to explore; he needs more gold coins and resources.
Because recently, he was going to build the "Orc Tower" in his territory, which was a level three unit in the territory.
The troops recruited after the completion of the project will be stronger and more ferocious than the current goblins and wolf riders.
He knew there was a small town ten kilometers away with many survivors, and he also knew that among these survivors was a former popular female star.
Lalo had it all planned out: he would lead a large army there, and once the men were taken, he would bring the women back to bear his children.
By the way, there are several bars in that town, and I've run out of my own stock, so I need to restock.
Patting the back of the giant wolf beneath him, Lalo began to walk out.
He had only walked less than 100 meters when he was stopped.
The two men blocking the road were also on horseback.
The distance was a bit far, and the foremen couldn't see clearly, but they could tell that Lord Lalo was very unhappy and seemed very irritable, and he started cursing loudly.
Several foremen gathered around.
"They seem to be negotiating!"
"Oh no, a fight has broken out!"
"Looks like I'll be cleaning up those damned corpses again today. You know what? Those guys who got torn apart by the lord are the hardest to clean up. Their entrails are all over the place, and they're so dirty you can get your hands covered in shit..."
"Shut up!"
A foreman interrupted his colleague's rambling and complaining.
Because the results are already available over there.
Unbelievable! Lord Lalo has actually been killed.
Moreover, even after releasing many goblins and wolf riders, they were killed by a few monsters like mowing grass.
This scene is happening right in front of us, just a hundred meters away.
Even the foremen could clearly see that the monsters were a skeleton soldier and a terrifying-looking... vampire?
Having lost all his troops, the terrified Lord Ralo was torn in two by a monster.
"Oh no, those two knights are coming?"
"Should we run away?"
"Shut up, kneel down, just like you would when facing Lord Lalo!"
The foremen and the laborers were now prostrate on the ground, their hearts filled with unease.
Lin Mo ignored the survivors and rode his skeletal warhorse, leading Shan Te, into the stronghold's territory.
You have taken over 'Chainsaw City'
[Because you are the first lord hero to own three territories, you will receive an additional 3000 gold coins.]
"We finally won first place again!"
After occupying the territory, Lin Mo turned to Shan Te and said, "That guy was definitely out of his mind. I didn't even say anything, and he started yelling about attacking. Fine, let him attack. I thought he was so powerful, but he only has a dozen or so level one or two units... His Necromancy only gave him a few skeletons, not even as strong as wild monsters... But we can also confirm that this has nothing to do with the Hasburg Naval Base incident..."
