Zong Shen usually doesn't read because he doesn't have time, but it has become a place where heroes in the territory often go to relax.

"grown ups!"

"Lord Lord!"

The ghost bodies of Zoe and the adventurer bowed to Zong Shen respectively.

I saw that Mr. Zong did not respond, his mind was immersed in his storage compartment.

Then he took out a completely black emblem.

The pattern on this emblem is poison and a short blade, which is the [Emblem of the Shadow Poison Assassin League] obtained previously.

Speaking of this emblem, we have to mention the ruins of the Shadow Venom Assassins' branch in Azshara.

Back then, Mitani Shuying was able to find the ruins and get many recruitment scrolls for assassin warriors.

However, there is a solid rune gate at the core of the Azshara branch of the Shadow Venom Assassins, and that guy hasn't been able to touch it yet.

Recently, he has been paying attention to the situation of the surrounding ruins. Due to his existence, large areas of territory have been moved out, and basically no one competes with him to snatch the ruins.

Now he happened to take charge of solving the problems of these ruins in batches.

I saw Zong Shen handing the emblem to Zoe and explaining in a loud voice.

"This is a token from the ruins of the Azshara branch of the Shadow Venom Assassins."

"The relevant ruins are located at..."

…

He quickly told Zoe the origin of the emblem, the location of the ruins, the possible rewards and dangers.

Let her take Colby and several small groups of Wolf Cavalry to explore the ruins tomorrow morning.

That solid rune gate was not worth mentioning in front of Colby, who was at the high legendary level.

He has also evaluated the overall difficulty of the Shadow Venom Assassin League ruins through the strategy module, and it is probably only equivalent to the early Azshara Mine.

There are many traps prepared by the Assassin League inside, and Colby is fully capable of shouldering the important task of carrying the cauldron.

Finally, Zong Shen told Zoe to come to the Lord's Fortress at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning to wait for Colby, then waved her away. Zoe had prepared all the magic machinery and materials that might be needed for the relevant exploration.

Now it's time to gradually let Zoe lead the exploration alone.

As for himself, he will take action tonight.

Target, Azshara Mine!

Considering that now that we have the [Territorial Expansion Privilege], there is no need to enclose the territory in the mine.

Soon the expansion of the territory will include the mines, and later the northern mountains and forests. According to Zong Shen's plan, he will raise the level of the territory as high as possible.

It would be best to cover hundreds of kilometers in radius, so that he can build defensive buildings directly on the mining area.

Even consider building convenient transportation systems such as rail trains.

These are all in his arrangement, and the plan is clear.

…

An hour later, he brought two [Level 6 Dark Night Chanters], two [Level 6 Thorn Ancient Tree Spear Throwers], [Wind Spirit Divine Favorite Kajinia], and six [Level 4 Dark Night]

Huntress], twelve [Third-Level Fire Mage], [Fire Spellcaster Hero Favid], and twelve [Third-Level Holy Light Priest] came to the entrance of Azshara Mine.

There are two [Level 5 Dark Night Silver Moon Huntress] lurking nearby, and there are four [Level 5 Giant Eagle Wind Ranger Air Cavalry] in the sky. They are all scouts arranged outside the mine.

As for the mines, especially the main mine tunnel entering the mine, there are a lot of traps arranged.

There are three squadrons of [Third-Level Dragonborn Rangers] and an equal number of [Second-Level Self-trained Crossbowmen] stationed at various forks in the road, plus two squadrons of Wolf Cavalry on rotational patrols, forming the mine's initial defense system.

In fact, the question of whether to deploy defenses is not a big deal now. Zong Shen has already declared his occupation of the mine in the area.

Whoever dares to offend must be prepared to face death!

There are no secrets in front of Zong Shen. He can track any lord's territory and complete his revenge within an hour or two.

This is his confidence as a regional overlord!

After entering the mine, Zong Shen discovered that there were many white crystals embedded in the stone walls for lighting.

Many protruding sharp stone pillars have also been cleaned up, and the original tilted mine carts and damaged mining tracks have also been significantly repaired, and all the manual mine tunnels have been reused by the mining kobolds.

The environment inside the mine has become much brighter and tidier.

It is no longer as dark and cramped as before.

The currently developed mining area is mainly on the right side of the fork. The living area on the left has also been completely cleared and has become the second habitat of the kobolds.

With a relatively safe environment and sufficient food, the kobolds ushered in the peak period of reproduction.

As an inferior race with thin blood in their bodies, their reproduction cycle is unexpectedly short.

Female kobolds can lay 1 to 3 eggs at a time, and the incubation period is two weeks.

The infancy period is only three months.

In other words, in just a few months, the number of kobolds will roughly double.

This is also one of the reasons why the original kobolds were still able to survive when faced with the hunting of the spider web monster group. For the weaker groups, the reproductive advantage was the only advantage.

The kobold chief Dutra personally led the way.

Just before the defensive challenge, the wails of the undead suddenly appeared deep in the West Road Mine.

At that time, Zong Shen was busy dealing with defensive challenges, so he ordered Dutra to blast the mine tunnels with explosives and blockade the corresponding areas.

It's time to solve this problem.

By the way, explore the relics of the resistance army located deep in the mine, and lay the foundation for increasing the mine's production in the future.

This is an important source of resources in the territory, and there is absolutely no room for any uncertain factors.

Therefore, clearing out the mines is also an imperative task for him.

After the Azshara Mines are completely cleared, you can use this as a basis to explore the mountain bunkers, bone bunkers, and more Azshara city ruins.

It can be said that this is also one of the important nodes for future external exploration.

The kobold chief Dutra, who was leading the way, once again introduced the situation at that time.

"Sir, the West Road mine tunnel has now been closed by blasting."

"The mourning of the dead there lasted for a long time."

"The subsequent exploration team even encountered attacks from resurrected skeletons, and also found traces of a large number of undead wandering around. There seemed to be undead power surging deep in the West Road."

Zong Shen nodded, his expression quite calm.

His strength is not the same as before, and he is completely sure to deal with any monster that may appear.

The most important thing is that the extension line of the West Road Mine is also a mining area with large ore reserves. Even in the last era, it has not undergone high-intensity mining. It is considered a "virgin land". After development, the mine can be greatly improved.

Production capacity.

The problem he has to solve now is to find a way to completely eliminate the undead there.
