In ally mode, only explosion damage that inherently does not distinguish between friend and foe can be effective.
Zong Shen gritted his teeth and threw it directly beneath him.
"Boom!"
Pink smoke engulfed the area, and the strong shock wave swept out, impacting and causing explosion damage to the Lords within Zong Shen’s vicinity.
This explosion finally cleared a gap of one or two ters around Zong Shen.
It temporarily cald the frenzy of the Lords, and this bit of explosion damage was nothing to Zong Shen.
However, for Lords whose life value mostly ranged between 200 to 400 points, it was quite debilitating.
In place, Zong Shen pulled out a bigger bomb, rotating his body.
"If anyone cos close to like before, don’t bla ."
This ti, all the Lords dared not surround Zong Shen again. Previously, whether it was flattery or fawning, in reality, they were just being carried by the wind. There were so many people, resulting in chaos.
Now that Zong Shen made his stance clear, naturally, they dared not persist. Better not to flatter oneself into being bombed to death.
In front of Zong Shen, they consciously opened up a path on both sides.
Just like that, he held the [Goblin Bomb] and walked out from the crowd.
"Don’t just stare at . The challenge is not over yet."
"With so many people, don’t idle. Hurry and form teams to deal with the Burrow Monsters."
As Zong Shen walked, he didn’t forget to instruct them.
Although the regional challenge boss was taken out by him, the Burrow Monsters hadn’t disappeared yet.
With more than four hours left of the challenge, and so many Lords gathered here, along with the safety net of ally mode, it was a pri opportunity to team up.
Hearing Zong Shen’s words, all the Lords realized that, rather than surrounding Zong Shen, it would be better to hunt Burrow Monsters. Points are the real benefit.
People spontaneously began to form teams, which made Zong Shen breathe a sigh of relief.
Now that the regional challenge boss was dealt with, he had his own plans and actions to follow.
Having left the crowd, Zong Shen ran straight to Pigsy; Jiang Yi and the legion mbers hadn’t joined the excitent and were still nearby, where the wolf cavalry Zong Shen brought and those warriors who ca on foot were still present.
"Let’s go back to the territory first."
Zong Shen gave a simple order, then mounted Pigsy and started to run back with the wolf cavalry and warriors.
Jiang Yi and the others exchanged glances; after witnessing Zong Shen’s prowess, they complied with his orders without hesitation.
They also mounted up, and alongside their warriors, followed him back.
As Zong Shen rode on Pigsy, he pulled out the Communication Crystal to instruct Marie to close all the city gates and activate the city gate permissions and [Magic Energy Array].
Almost all the Lords who ca to support had left his territory, heading north for the commotion, making it the perfect ti to clear the territory.
The regional challenge boss was eliminated, and his fa spread, so future expansions for Jiang Yi’s legion should proceed smoothly, thus there was no need to keep the territory open.
In this region, Zong Shen’s na was now known to everyone.
Even the leaders of other legions had no thoughts of challenging Zong Shen.
However, to disband their legions was not feasible either.
First, Zong Shen’s territory couldn’t yet cover the entire area, which was also the only bottleneck for the future expansion of Zong Shen’s legion. Secondly, they hoped to develop their legions for future cooperation and parity with Zong Shen.
Once power is in hand, it’s tough to let go.
Yet no matter what, Zong Shen and his [Guides Corps] are destined to rise powerfully in this region, a fact known to all the Lords.
Quickly returning to the territory gate, Marie had already closed the gates according to his instructions.
There were no Lords left in the territory, and the projection in the sky had dissipated.
Zong Shen’s words upon leaving the crowd successfully shifted the Lords’ attention.
At this mont, those supporting Lords were swiftly forming teams with dozens or even hundreds of Lords.
These small groups of Lords, along with their warriors, amounted to battle groups ranging from hundreds to thousands.
These small battle groups were moving in all directions around the territory, seeking the Burrow Monster swarms.
The regional challenge boss was eliminated, removing the area’s attraction to Burrow Monsters, returning Burrow Monster swarms to a random alluring state.
After returning to the territory, Zong Shen stopped on an open space outside the Lord’s Courtyard.
Here, he truly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yi and the others followed into the territory, standing beside Zong Shen, waiting for his next plan.
Zong Shen took off his battle helt, feeling sentintal about the small territory that once attracted thousands.
The territory’s ground, trampled and baptized by thousands, beca barren and solid, and without supervision, even the farmland might have been flattened.
At the peak population within the territory, even the pasture was crowded with people, causing the cattle and sheep to huddle and shiver in the corners—this all due to the fact that Zong Shen’s inner city was too small.
Since building walls consus vast resources and effort, Zong Shen initially enclosed only a 200m x 200m square inner city.
Until now, after the Burrow Challenge, Zong Shen’s planned territory remained open, with no imdiate consideration to build walls around it.
The timing wasn’t right, as the territory’s foundation and productivity couldn’t support the consumption of large-scale wall building.
Once the territory is enclosed by walls, it’s no small matter, and prematurely building walls during a great expansion period would only limit the territory’s future growth.
Given Zong Shen’s current level 8 territory, the radius is 8 kiloters, making the circumference 50.24 kiloters. Building walls would require unimaginable engineering and resource investnt.
Bang State level castles and Giant Cities can fully cover territories because they have sufficient population and resources—take a Giant City, for instance, with tens of millions of people and jurisdiction spanning thousands of kiloters.
Thus, Zong Shen’s territory is not yet ready; large-scale wall building is unsuitable now, and his dream of high walls and strong defenses must be deferred.
Zong Shen relaxed his body while letting his thoughts wander.
"Let’s rest first, and later we will also hunt Burrow Monsters."
"San Pang, prepare so food."
He addressed Jiang Yi and other corps mbers and called out to San Pang.
"Yes, my lord, I’ll prepare it right away."
San Pang erged from a nearby house, respectfully bowing to Zong Shen.
Then he followed instructions to prepare food and water.
Jiang Yi and the others nodded in agreent with no dissent.
In the previous territorial battle, they had gained points, along with small treasure chests as rewards and additional rewards for damaging the Netherworld Snake Apophis.
They took this opportunity to adjust their states.
Corps mbers who didn’t support with various excuses now deeply regretted their decisions.
They continuously ssaged in the [Legion Channel], attempting to draw Zong Shen’s attention, but no one had ti to respond.
"Rest here for a bit, we’ll move once I’m back."
"There will be water and food available, so eat up."
Zong Shen dismounted from Pigsy, told Jiang Yi and others casually, and entered the Lord’s Courtyard, heading to the small building.
He intended to check the rewards from defeating the regional challenge boss.
