He said to Winnie, "I asked Kelvin to design a confidential box before, which can pass messages in this alchemical item box. You recruit three God-favored people and let them manage this box in three shifts. I can contact them at any time."
"Do you communicate with the territory in real time through these God-favored people?"
"Yes, no matter how far the distance is, there is no obstacle between me and the other God-favored people. It is very suitable to help pass messages in the middle."
In fact, this is the inspiration Luo Ling got from the communication between himself and the Antel Mountain Command.
As a lord, he can find hidden monsters on the macro level. This system's built-in small map function is very practical, which is definitely much faster than letting his soldiers search slowly.
Winnie nodded repeatedly: "It happens that there are several God-favored people helping in the city hall. How about we hurry up and try it now?"
The elderly people who came from Blue Star have regained their vitality and vitality. These people are experienced and have strong ability to handle things, which is just right to supplement the administrative structure of the Oak Territory.
The children all went to school, and those who had returned from old age to middle age certainly had to make use of their remaining energy.
Luo Ling nodded: "Okay, let them all come over."
Winnie turned her head and whispered to the assistant next to her, and soon the bard came in with three middle-aged men and women.
"Don't be nervous, I asked you to come here because I want you to be my assistants. When I'm not in the territory, you will be responsible for helping me pass on messages. Usually you work in the city hall, and you just need to turn on the message reminder."
Luo Ling pointed to the box on the table and continued: "This job may be in a state of waiting for notifications most of the time, so you can read books, meditate, or do other leisure and entertainment activities. Once you receive a notification, or have a message to pass on to me, you need to act immediately."
The three God-favored people nodded one after another. This job is actually a bit like a secretary in a company.
"I understand."
"It doesn't sound difficult."
The work content is indeed not difficult, but it requires three shifts, and one person needs to be online at all times.
Luo Ling took out a magic map and used magic to compare his system map to draw the traces of the monsters. It was clear at a glance
which monsters were being sieged and where the monsters were hiding.
Winnie immediately notified the corresponding city defense forces through the communication crystal board, and the efficiency of the siege increased sharply. Luo Ling saw that the task bar for exploring the abyss had stopped. Since there was nothing to do in the territory, he immediately returned to the temporary base. "Please pay more attention to the territory. I will come back from time to time. Thank you for your hard work." He didn't want to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but there was no perfect solution in the world, so he could only move a little. In fact, the development of the Oak Territory has entered the final stage. In addition to constantly accumulating strength, it is not realistic to want to quickly increase the level as before. The temporary base cannot develop into a large territory. It is just a tool for Luo Ling to gain enough military merits. At present, the level of demons is getting higher and higher, and the number of monsters is increasing. It is necessary to improve the strength as soon as possible. Everyone is working hard. If he works a little less hard, he may be left behind! Luo Ling didn't even see Brooke on this trip back. The hero was commanding the battle at the border and had no time to withdraw. After saying this, Luo Ling left the city hall with the box. He hadn't killed any monsters since he returned to the territory, but his experience points kept rising. After teleporting back to the temporary base through the City Lord's Mansion, he found that the number of monsters had not decreased, but even increased a lot. The defense tower was clearly at full firepower, and the energy core was not spared at all. "I'm back." He took the time to say in the group chat: "I just tested it. After returning to the territory, the exploration progress was paused, but it did not return to zero." Gu Mingzhi and others felt much more relieved after hearing this. At least the mission could be carried out continuously without worrying about being interrupted suddenly. Evans of the Torrent Territory replied, "That's good. It will be much easier for everyone to teleport back to the territory occasionally. You came at the right time. Now the Abyss has released a large number of monsters, and with the overlap of the Abyss and the Vana Continent, the demons have gained a great benefit." "So that's the case. No wonder the killing efficiency of the defense tower over there has decreased." Luo Ling suddenly realized and began to worry, "According to this, we may be able to hold on for a shorter time. This place is becoming more and more suitable for demons. Fortunately, the defense tower is not a creature, otherwise there will definitely be a negative debuff effect." The upgrade of the defense tower is limited. It is impossible to increase the level as quickly as the monster level. It requires very expensive and rare raw materials. Sheryev of the Mining City Territory replied, "Now just kill as many monsters as possible, at least to get back the cost." They actually thought about moving the six temporary bases together, so that centralized heating may be more effective. However, if the temporary base becomes the core of the incomplete territory again, all the buildings on it need to be recycled. Only 60% to 70% of the resources of the defense tower originally built can be recycled, and the truly important raw materials have disappeared without a trace. Take Luo Ling's territory as an example. The wood, stone, and survival points consumed by the defense tower can be returned, but the magic crystals and divine crystals used are only empty shells. Although they are ranked high, they are not profligate people. With such a large territory behind them, it is impossible to spend all resources on projects that are destined to lose money. Now all they can do is go out and fight by themselves, so that they can temper themselves, better master the surge in power, and relieve pressure at the same time. Since they are on the list, their combat power is at the legendary or quasi-legendary level, and there is a defense tower behind them, so there is actually no danger. The rest of the players must be conscientious and dare not do anything special, but they have to be bolder. Luo Ling had just walked out of the temporary base with the Holy Dragon Spear in his hand, and he felt as if there was an invisible layer of pressure on his body, and even breathing became much more difficult. The impact of the abyss on ordinary creatures has been revealed! "No wonder Evans and the others said there was a negative benefit, it's too obvious." Luo Ling was wearing the Guardian Suit, and even with a 50% increase in strength, he still felt weakened, not to mention the others. It really made sense for the headquarters to ask Enoch and other defense soldiers at the outpost to retreat.

































Under such circumstances, the soldiers' combat effectiveness declined seriously, which not only affected their combat effectiveness, but also their morale.
In the past, it was the enemies who were restrained and weakened. Who would have thought that the situation would change and it would be the players' turn.
Luo Ling had to experience this rare taste.
The demons of more than 50 levels were quite powerful, and it was almost impossible to kill them instantly with one skill.
They all looked strange and weird, and it was impossible to know where their fatal weaknesses were. Even if they hit the vital points, it was difficult to clear their health directly.
Gu Mingzhi, Evans, Sheryev and others took turns to go back to their own territories to take a look. Each person nominally had 30 minutes, but none of them really stayed for the full time and came back.
Time passed quickly, day and night alternated, and Luo Ling also dragged his tired body back to the temporary base.
He didn't know how many enemies he had killed, nor how many times he had used skills. Now the blood stains on his body were all solidified.
The demons attacked him many times, but fortunately the guardian robe and other parts were very strong, so he didn't suffer the pain of tearing.
But the power transmitted to him through those equipment is still very huge. The various bruises on his skin are clearly visible, and even his bones and internal organs are affected by various impacts.
The temporary base at night is brightly lit, like a natural taunting skill, gathering demons from all directions.
The attacks of the defense towers also have different colors of light, especially the Thunder Tower on Luo Ling's side, which cuts through the entire sky in the dark night sky every time it attacks.
The players' vision is not as wide as during the day, and they can only rely on various powerful defense towers.
"Boom boom boom"
a big fireball fell from the sky, hitting the mountainside in front with a huge impact.
The flame attack was launched instantly, and then the spherical meteorite rumbled to the foot of the mountain, crushing countless monsters in the middle.
The tough vines gathered the nearby demon corpses, and Luo Ling and other players' rest time was to decompose the demon corpses.
Each of them had a period of sleep.
In fact, no one could fall asleep in such a tense, dangerous and noisy environment.
Even if everyone closed their eyes, they could still hear the monsters roaring, and they would also think about whether their decision was right or not.
As for the food, it was exactly the same as in the territory.
The chefs of the city lord's mansion packed the food in boxes and Luo Ling picked it up through the warehouse of the Oak Boutique.
Considering the time consumption on the battlefield, they made fast food that could be eaten immediately, not very exquisite food.
When the sun reappeared on the Santa Marta Peak, Luo Ling was stunned by the scene in front of him!
The original space transmission channel disappeared without a trace at some point, and the place at the beginning has now become a normal desert.
In the depths of the desert, he can even see the shadowy demons.
The demons are ready to go, grinning at each other, and the overlap between the Vana continent and the abyss is more obvious. The desert is extremely real, as if it has existed since ancient times.
However, under each mountain, there are relatively few monster corpses.
The number of kills by the defense tower at night was far greater than what we see now, but only a part was broken down by the players, and another larger part was devoured by the demons.
Luo Ling knew that the situation was not particularly good, so he washed his face casually with water, and then forced himself to eat a nutritious breakfast, and then picked up his weapon to prepare for battle.
At this moment, a message notification from the system suddenly appeared in the ears of every player.
"Congratulations to player Gu Mingzhi for becoming the first player to break through to the legendary level, and he will be rewarded with a diamond-level treasure chest x1!"
Luo Ling was a little stunned, but at the same time he was happy for his friend.
