Zong Shen returned to his room, took off his armor and equipment, and went straight to sleep.

As for those three Gold Diggers, they were gagged and hung beneath the Elemental Arrow Tower, continually making muffled sounds.

However, no one paid them any attention. The warriors who needed rest continued to rest, and those on patrol maintained their patrols. No one cared about these few Gold Diggers.

Strictly speaking, Zong Shen's territory was genuinely forged through battles of blood and fire. In these days alone, they had eliminated several Commander Level monsters.

In comparison, these little Gold Diggers were nothing. It's not surprising they met such a fate for being disrespectful to the Lord. Everyone seemed calm and didn't care much about this.

...

After a good night's sleep, Zong Shen woke up early the next morning at around 6 o'clock.

As his physical condition improved, his need for sleep decreased as well.

The first thing Zong Shen did upon waking was to unwrap the bandages and check the wound under his ribs.

Now, the wound under his ribs and on his back had scabbed over, and the healing speed was astonishingly fast.

Zong Shen applied some Moon God Spring Water to the wound again and replaced it with a new bandage.

After taking care of the wound, he got out of bed and donned his equipment.

Today, he wasn't planning to go far but to manage some affairs within the territory and construct some of the useful building blueprints he had on hand.

Then organize a hunting team to proactively sweep the Burrow Monsters around the territory.

In fact, very few Lords were as leisurely as Zong Shen now. Most Lords, even if they could rely on their territories, terrain, and defense buildings for resistance, faced fierce battles, almost fighting day and night with only occasional short naps.

Unlike Zong Shen, who could not only go out and explore but also leisurely take a nap in the Lord's Small Tower.

However, to be fair, the combat pressure faced by Zong Shen was also not something an ordinary Lord could compare to.

On the one hand, because he had single-handedly cleared a Burrow, and on the other hand, it was related to the size of his territory. The larger the territory and the more the population, the greater the attraction to the Burrow Monsters.

Overall, it presents a relatively balanced state. As long as you give it your all, there is bound to be a reward after overcoming a crisis. The strong receive strong rewards, and the weak receive weak ones. At least, it is a steadily progressing trend, as if an invisible hand is continuously pushing the Lords forward.

Zong Shen freshened himself up a bit, and under his approval, the Mages took turns entering the Magic Hall for Meditation Cultivation, while everyone else took their respective positions.

The Kobolds, under Dutra's lead, gathered stones near the territory, with more than two hundred Kobolds spread around the territory. These Kobolds were more powerful than farmers, possessing some combat ability. Although they couldn't compare to the professional soldiers under Zong Shen's command, they were much stronger than the farmers.

Facing the monsters wandering over from various Burrows, they were even able to launch counterattacks under Dutra's lead. While gathering, they managed to eliminate quite a few Burrow Monsters.

So far, except for the Tier Three Elemental Arrow Tower in the Lord's Courtyard that was under upgrade, all the defense towers had been completed. The territory's defense capability had been significantly enhanced, allowing them to handle even Captain Level Gargoyles with ease.

To respond to the increasing pressure from Burrow Challenges, the best approach was to enhance the territory's defense capabilities and increase the number of soldiers.

Zong Shen twisted his neck, loosened up a bit, and remembered that he hadn't checked some building blueprints acquired from the mine.

Moreover, there was a complete Tier Four Giant Cannon Tower that could be constructed. It was a Rare Level special defense building, which, although required Magic Energy to attack, could effectively harm large-scale enemies while providing an overlook view within 3500 meters, making it an absolute territorial defense heavy asset.

Zong Shen flipped his hand and took out six blueprints, five of which were building blueprints, and one was a manufacturing blueprint.

He clapped his hands, mastered all five blueprints first, and then began to examine each blueprint's attributes. With the territory's development, there was an increasing demand for some functional buildings.

For instance, there was potential demand for bathhouses, dining halls, medical centers, and even training and relaxation buildings, which needed to be gradually improved and addressed.

The few building blueprints he had just mastered could satisfy part of the functional needs.
