Chapter 1223 - 638: A Rare Banquet and Task Assignments

Ultimately, his gaze stopped on Blood Wolf Gujate.

Gujate put away his face helmet, revealing a four-petaled mouth with tusks, as he stuffed an entire steak into it. His mouth bit with an intertwining motion like a worm.

Fortunately, everyone’s mental strength was good, and they weren’t scared by its true appearance.

Goblin Engineer Iron Hand Balunk sat next to it.

While stuffing food into his mouth with a fork, he stared at Gujate with interest.

To this, Gujate chose to ignore.

After finishing the entire steak, he expressionlessly glanced at Tiezi, casually locking onto a roast chicken with his fork.

Zong Shen saw this scene, finding it amusing.

Who knows what Tiezi did under the guise of research to make Gujate selectively ignore the goblin engineer.

Though Tiezi was quite active, he couldn’t beat Gujate and couldn’t do anything too excessive, at most being a chatterbox and rudely moving around.

One is an Iron Blood Warrior, the other a goblin, the sparks flying between them must be exciting!

Zong Shen watched for a while before looking away.

Once everyone had mostly finished eating.

He clapped his hands again.

"Everyone, pause for a moment!"

"Next, I’ll explain tomorrow’s tasks."

Upon hearing the Lord speak again, everyone stopped, placing their cutlery on the table, waiting for Zong Shen’s instructions.

"Ahem!"

He cleared his throat before continuing.

"Firstly, Marie and Hoy."

"Your task is to shrink the entire territory’s defense matrix tomorrow."

"Shrink the defense circle to a two-kilometer radius centered around the Lord’s Fortress."

"Also, build several loops of Tier Five City Walls at appropriate distances around the Lord’s Fortress!"

Upon being named, Marie and Hoy stood up to listen to Zong Shen’s orders.

"Arrange defense arrow towers to combine with the walls, creating three-dimensional defense layers based on range, tier, and type."

"Those new defense buildings and epic-level buildings should be scheduled for charging if needed."

"The current territory’s resources should be sufficient to complete the construction of the defense circle’s walls."

"Let other logistical heroes assist you in handling this."

"Additionally, the over hundred newly joined heroes should also be guided by you, quickly assigning them to appropriate roles based on specialties and talents."

Zong Shen expressed the territory defense plans in one breath.

He only needed to broadly convey the defense goals to Marie and Hoy.

Specific arrangements are not his concern.

He could just provide adjustments based on practical situations when the time comes.

"I understand, my lord!"

...

Both bowed in acknowledgment.

"Alright, you may sit down."

"Wenresa, tomorrow you’ll lead those nine newly joined combat heroes with me on an expedition against the Goblin Tribe in the Northern Forest!"

"Additionally, Joan, Favide, you will come with me too."

"For warriors, bring Gujate, Kangnijiya, Tasuya, Aisha, Madeleine, Mapple, and Xiaoheizi, along with Flying Tiger, Scorpion-tailed Tiger Squad, and Hell Two-headed Dog Team."

"And then bring a squadron of Wolf Cavalry, plus all Lion Skeleton Knights over, that should be enough to deal with those goblins."

Wenresa, Joan, Favide, Kangnijiya, Gujate, Tasuya, Aisha, Madeleine, Mapple, everyone named stood up.

"Fight for you!"

...

Zong Shen nodded, motioning downward with his hand.

"Very good, sit down please."

Everyone sat back down, and then he called names again.

"Luna, Tiezi, starting tomorrow, daily dispatch a batch of warriors, using the existing Burden-Bearer Mecha, the newly redeemed 4th Generation Burden Bearer Mecha, and Magic Energy Transport Vehicle, to head to the mine, withdrawing all kobolds and warriors within three days."

"Leave the few Two-headed Hellhounds at the mine."

"Wait until the defense challenge ends before returning to the mine."

Luna and Tiezi also stood up, bowing in their positions.

"Please sit down; this task begins tomorrow."

"No need to bring everyone back at once."

"Going once a day is sufficient, be careful, try not to expose the mine."

Luna nodded, giving a gentle smile.

Tiezi also puffed his chest, unusually serious.

"Dwarf Uncle, you’ll have to work hard in the next few days."

"I need you to forge a batch of intermediate to high-level building materials, partnering with Marie to construct at least one Tier Four Rock Tower before the defense challenge arrives."

Copperbeard·Wine Fire quickly stood up, placing one hand on his chest and bowing his head.

"Rest assured, my lord!"

Zong Shen nodded again, finally looking at Korby.

"Korby, your task tomorrow is crucial."

"You must organize the over thousand newly joined Wolf Cavalry and Giant Wolf Knights into formations."

"Simultaneously promote captains and mid-level leaders."

"Try to complete the formation of the Wolf Cavalry troops tomorrow."

Korby solidly hammered his left chest twice with his right fist, nodding seriously.

"Rest assured, my lord, Korby will fulfill your orders!"

Zong Shen smiled, twisting his neck.

"Alright, tomorrow everyone will perform their duties."

"The expedition team please gather outside the Lord’s Fortress around 8 AM."

"The logistics side prepares three days’ rations and water bags in advance."

"No need for the Lion Skeleton Knights’ portion."

He crossed his hands under his chin, summarizing with one final sentence.

Thus, arrangements for the next few days were all communicated!
