Chapter 285： : Howies thoughts, the King of Skeletons (1/2)

According to Zong Shen’s previous statistics, some data can be analyzed.

Zombies and fang worms accounted for almost 95.2% of the total number of crypt monsters refreshed, the proportion of gargoyles is about 4%, and the ghost banshee is 0.8%.

So zombies and canine worms are the main force of the crypt, and they are always the first to take the lead.

Analyzed by this ratio, the huge crowd of crypt monsters is actually not as terrifying as imagined.

After all, even the crypt zombies and fang worms whose strength has increased to level 6 are just weak chickens.

However, under the cooperation of various monsters, there is absolutely no problem with these crypt monsters sweeping the general territory, just like the territory in front of them, in fact, the confrontation between the two has just begun.

Once the one hundred and eighty gargoyles in the sky began to dispatch, and the ghost banshee also began to use the control skills, it represented the official start of the battle.

As for now, it can only be regarded as a warm-up stage at best, and the cannon fodder will open the way first, but even so, the lord still looks like a big enemy.

The defense and layout of his territory are pretty good, especially the ring-shaped moat with a width of about five meters, which played a big role. Coupled with the attraction mechanism of the hatred value, the main attack direction of the monster at this time is just a reserve. The entrance is about three meters wide.

The two sides of the entrance stretched out for five or six meters, all isolated by horse rejection and trenches. Monsters who wanted to attack could only enter from the front end of the entrance due to the setting of the hatred value.

This arrangement is similar to the aisle stuck in the front line of Zongshen Crypt. It also uses the monster's hatred attraction mechanism to limit the terrain.

In such a comparison, the lords of the three to five or nine are more distinct.

Zhang Zihao's territoriality couldn't be compared with the guy in front of him.

If Zong Shen guarded this territory yesterday afternoon, it would have been easier to wipe out the tens of thousands of crypt monsters.

Zong Shen's side had just gone through a night of rest, and his state was at its peak.

They cut and strangled the crypt monsters from behind the monsters like mowing grass.

Since Zong Shen purchased it, Howie has already joined the realm, but he has not sworn to surrender and cannot have the authority of the lord level.

At this time, Howie stood beside the Faye in the back row, staring at the huge crowd of crypt monsters in front of him with shocked expression, watching Zong Shen take the lead in the charge, and led the soldiers into it like a sharp knife. In this strange group.

The quantitative contrast and contrast can easily bring visual shock.

”This... there are so many undead monsters here.”

”There are also some rare crypt creatures...”

”The army of the Aronwa Kingdom turned a blind eye?”

Howie was shocked and puzzled. With such a large-scale undead monsters and crypt creatures in the kingdom's territory, there is no king or local troops to clean up?

This happens occasionally in the mainland. Except for the resting places of the few undead on the mainland and the underground crypt creatures that live all year round, every few decades or hundreds of years, all parts of the mainland will also There are some dusty undead lairs present, or inexplicable riots by crypt creatures.

However, those undead lairs and crypt tribes are at most hundreds or thousands of people in size. After they ravage a few villages, they will be wiped out by the king's army and the knights.

Crypt monsters of this size are extremely rare, and logically, they should have attracted the attention of the kingdom long ago.

Howie felt very confused. He hadn't sworn allegiance and no one had told him about the Crypt Challenge. He didn't know many things about the territory.

But this did not prevent him from watching Zong Shen and the others fighting. He had seen the Bangcheng army in Goti Castle fight the stray bandits. Most of the Bangcheng first-level army was composed of second-order fighters, and there were a small number of them. Tier 3 fighters and single-digit Tier 4 fighters.

Generally, a relatively peaceful and peaceful Bangcheng, which is located in the hinterland of the kingdom like Goti Castle, usually has 300 to 500 resident soldiers under its jurisdiction, which is enough to ensure the guarding mission of the Bangcheng and the villages under its jurisdiction.

Some of the larger states have a standing army of 700 or 800, but very few states will have thousands of army. Of course, this does not include some special states located in border areas or adjacent to some foreign races. city.

Most of the border cities are strategic fortresses, and there are always one thousand to three thousand state army, as well as the branches of the kingdom knights and the knights of various regions active in the border areas.

The more the Bangcheng army, the heavier the burden on the Bangcheng. Not counting the training cost, the armament, military pay, food consumption, and material consumption of the Bangcheng army are not a small amount every month. All of them are paid by the city. Solve it by yourself, Giant City will only provide some help when recruiting and training.

Howey knows this. Although the city state of Koti is comfortable, the expenditure on armaments is also not small. The annual tax seems to be a lot, but one-third of it needs to be used to meet the expenditure of the state army, and there is another third. One needs to repair and build the infrastructure inside and outside the city, as well as the subordinate villages.

The remaining third is at the disposal of the Viscount Lord for family expenses, as well as salaries for maids, housekeepers, and managers like Howey.

In this way, there will be basically no balance in the income of the tenant tax.

However, this is not the entire income of the Viscount. As a Viscount, he also runs a textile factory and owns two caravans. A lot of cotton is grown in the villages under his jurisdiction. Cotton spinning cloth.

Then the two Goti caravans bought some local products and cotton fabrics and brought them to the giant city of Wabel to sell them in order to make a certain profit. Therefore, Viscount Ektor's wealth was still very rich.

At present, most of the state cities in the whole continent are hereditary territories after the nobles have assigned them, and at last they are also baronial-level figures, like Viscount Ektor, who has a relatively high title.

This is because the Ektor family is considered to be a big family in the Nord Kingdom. Viscount Ektor’s full name is Ektor Ken, one of the children of the Ektor family, Goti The castle is a reward from the parents. In fact, the Aktor family owns two giant cities and 37 state cities in the Nord Kingdom.

Therefore, compared with Viscount Ektor, Zong Shen was born with real mud legs.

This kind of poor and white establishment of territories is not without precedent, but it is much more difficult to develop, and it even takes a lifetime. Often someone has worked so hard for decades, and finally became the wedding dress of others.

At this time, Howie silently watched the battle ahead. So far, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, Zong Shen and the others were still very strong. With a team of dozens of people, they dared to attack thousands of crypt monsters. challenge.

In his opinion, even the elite knights of the kingdom would not necessarily make such a risky behavior.

Beside Howie, the fire mage Parks was holding his staff and chanting an ancient magic spell. This spell was very long, and it took ten seconds to chant it.

The ruby ​​on the top of his staff radiated red light, and not far in front, a magic circle with a diameter of ten meters appeared on the ground twenty to thirty meters deep into the strange group.

”Gudong Gudong...”

The ground surged, and bright red flame runes appeared, finally forming the magic circle!

The entire place shrouded by the magic circle instantly rose up with a flame of more than ten meters high!
