Global Lords: I Have Information System

Chapter 598 - 408: Cozy Frosty Winter Life, Goblin Tracks

Luna leaned against his chest, her body curled up, emitting faint breaths.

Like a bird that found its harbor.

Zong Shen stood motionless, enjoying the wonderful feeling of happiness at the moment.

Just then, the communication crystal he had placed on the bedside table began to vibrate.

Checking the number, it was a communication request from Wenresa.

Zong Shen chose to connect.

He lowered the volume and spoke softly.

"What’s the matter, Wenresa."

"Is there something happening in the territory?"

Previously, after Wenresa had completed his instructions, she went to help Marie at the tailor shop.

Now, sending a communication request, surely she discovered something.

From the communication crystal, Wenresa’s calm voice transmitted.

Zong Shen could still hear the sound of wind from her side.

"Master, there was a disturbance in the northwest direction, the territory’s agricultural and livestock area."

"The defense matrix deployed in that area suddenly initiated an attack."

"I investigated the target of the defense arrow tower attacks."

"Only several patches of dark green blood were left behind on the site."

"I’ve contacted the residential area; two wolf rider squads are on their way."

After listening to Wenresa’s report, Zong Shen furrowed his brows.

"Dark green blood..."

"It might be goblins."

"Since they’ve scouted out this area."

"Undoubtedly, they will discover us."

"Because we are the largest territory nearby."

"Stay safe, I’ll come over now."

"Also, inform Doris to come over as well."

"In this kind of weather, I need her help."

Zong Shen spoke somewhat urgently, his tone still gentle, afraid of waking Luna.

But after he hung up the communication crystal and turned around.

Luna in his arms had already opened her eyes.

Looking at Zong Shen with her bright eyes.

"Is there an abnormal situation in the territory?"

Luna asked softly.

Zong Shen nodded, lowered his head, and gently kissed Luna.

Then he reluctantly got up, leaving the covers.

Entering the land of tenderness was a pleasure, leaving it was torture.

Zong Shen quickly dressed in battle armor, slipped on rabbit fur boots and leg guards, and donned a bear skin coat.

"You have a good rest, Luna."

"I’m going to check out the situation."

Zong Shen spoke with a gentle tone.

On the bed, Luna sat up, covering her delicate body with a sheepskin quilt.

She nodded obediently.

Her heart holding some reluctance and concern.

Luna and Zong Shen’s state was like lovers just in the honeymoon phase.

Wishing to be together every day.

Especially during these rare peaceful moments.

At this moment of separation, she felt a bit reluctant.

Zong Shen felt the same, but no matter how reluctant, he still had to check the situation.

During this Frosty Winter Challenge period, even though Zong Shen was not afraid of external dangers that might arise.

The territory is his foundation, his basis for living and thriving.

As Lord, he must react promptly.

Meanwhile, he could use the clues left at the scene.

Utilize his guide module to directly grasp the truth of the matter.

He gave Luna a reassuring look.

Then stepped away from the room, closing the door.

Stepping down the stairs, he returned to the first floor.

When he pushed open the door of the Lord’s Small Tower.

He found there was already a sloping accumulation of snow at the entrance.

It seemed to have been blown and piled here by the wind.

The outside had become a white world.

In the one or two hours of entanglement with Luna.

A thick layer of snow had accumulated.

Using the five-tier steps of the Lord’s Small Tower as a reference.

The snow had now piled up from the road surface to almost half the height of the second tier.

This meant the snow outside was at least thirty centimeters thick.

Zong Shen paused at the entrance for a moment, then turned back to close the small tower’s door.

Carefully, he walked down the steps and stepped into the snow.

Even though Zong Shen had mentally prepared, the feeling of stepping into the void still made him stagger.

After stabilizing his footing, he then headed toward the courtyard entrance.

The snow on the ground made walking even more arduous.

The fierce wind and snowstorm further impaired visibility.

Zong Shen walked step by step to the clearing at the courtyard entrance.

Directly took out the [Burden-Bearer Mecha].

Double-track structure, better passability, all destined it to be a tool for trekking in the snow.

This thing has a wading depth of 1.65 meters.

The chassis is about one meter from the ground.

The driver’s seat is even higher, offering a better view.

The massive [Burden-Bearer Mecha] once landing, pressed the snow down.

Zong Shen directly sat in the cockpit and chose to start.

This time, the activation efficiency of the [Magic Energy Core] was slower than usual.

Fortunately, the drive of the tracks was perfectly intact.

Under Zong Shen’s control, the broad metal tracks on both sides were driven by the burden wheels.

Started to grind against the ground, pressing the snow beneath the tracks.

Stably departing from the west gate, heading northwest.

About seven to eight hundred meters away from the first group of defense matrix in the northwest direction.

Wenresa stood in the snow wearing a hood, wrapped in a thick coat.

A full two squads of wolf cavalry beside her vigilantly watching the surroundings.

All warriors including Wenresa were equipped with [Rabbit Fur Boots] and [Rabbit Fur Leg Guards].

Even the mounts were cloaked in a layer of sheepskin.

Such warmth measures ensured they could maintain most of their combat strength.

As the sound of the crawler of the Burden-Bearer Mecha approached.

Everyone came to greet.

Zong Shen stopped the Burden-Bearer Mecha in advance.

Walked slowly toward Wenresa and the others.

"Master..."

...

Everyone saluted Zong Shen.

Zong Shen slightly nodded, not speaking much.

He purposefully walked toward the front.

On the snow in front, there were four or five patches of dark green blood.

Very conspicuous against the white snow.

It’s known that the situation seen by the indigenous people and the Lord during the Frosty Winter Challenge was completely different.

These bloodstains had been covered by a layer of newly fallen snow.

Fifteen minutes had passed since Wenresa informed him until Zong Shen arrived on the scene.

No traces were left on the snow, except for the blood produced by the defense towers of the territory.

Their footprints wouldn’t appear in the snow.

Undoubtedly, they must have infiltrated from the northwest direction of the territory.

Moreover, this time it’s definitely not just goblin scouts alone.

At least there was a goblin squad.

The area here hadn’t reached the coverage range of the [Sentry Tower] Eye of True Sight yet.

This means it was a standard goblin squad, not a pure scout squad.

When they entered the attack range of the first group of the defense matrix in this area.

They immediately suffered ruthless blows.

Especially the [Elemental Arrow Tower] and [Giant Crossbow Tower], the distance was perfect for displaying divine power.

However, the defense matrix only attacked once before the goblin squad decisively chose to retreat.

According to the goblin information Zong Shen had learned previously.

This indicates there is a higher wisdom goblin caster within this goblin squad.

Just like the two goblin squads Zong Shen encountered in the mine before.

Each squad had a Goblin Shaman seated.

This is not a good omen.

Zong Shen squinted his eyes, instantly forming a plan.

He must pursue this squad.

Absolutely cannot let them return to the tribe in the mountain forest.

If this squad is completely annihilated, it would at most make the Goblin Tribe suspicious.

This can still buy some buffer time in between.

But if this squad returns to the tribe.

Next time, when they meet, Zong Shen would face at least hundreds of goblin tribe warriors.

They will have an evaluation of Zong Shen territory’s strength.

This is something Zong Shen absolutely does not allow to happen.

Although both sides are in the same area, a battle is inevitable in the future.

But for Zong Shen, the most appropriate time hasn’t arrived yet.

He must completely annihilate this goblin squad.

Then ambush in the territory for a catch waiting for it to come!
