Translator: 549690339
“My Lord.” Everyone immediately got up to pay their respects.
It wasn’t the first or second time Fang Hao had appeared before them in this form.
Over time, they had grown accustomed to it.
Generally, those who could speak and suddenly appeared were the ones in which Fang Hao had used the Undead Spell to possess.
Petty also quickly stood up, yielding his seat and said: “My Lord.”
Sitting down in the vacated seat, Fang Hao curiously asked: “You were looking for me. What happened?”
The injured pig-headed human nearby was pitifully noticeable.
The wounds weren’t that of a wild beast attack; it looked more like he had been brutally tortured.
Combining this with the people’s earlier conversation, it wasn’t hard to guess that something had happened at Pigmen Village.
“The thing is, there’s a Gnoll Tribe to the east of the village…”
Petty narrated the situation personally from the side.
Here’s the thing: the full exploration of the mine allowed Pigmen Village to harvest a large amount of iron ore every day.
This greatly sped up the development of both Fang Hao’s territory and the village itself.
As time passed by, the Gnoll Tribe had discovered that the Iron-Eating Worms of the mine were eradicated and that a group of undead were mining instead.
Fang Hao had stationed a lot of skeleton soldiers in the mining area.
The Gnolls did not directly wage war against the undead soldiers but instead captured a patrolling pig-headed human and brutally tortured him, even cutting off two of his fingers.
Additionally, the pig-headed human brought back news, “The Gnolls asked a lot of questions about the undead and demanded half of the mining output in the future.”
After Petty finished speaking, he intended to observe Fang Hao’s reaction.
However, the skull face before his eyes didn’t disclose anything besides being frightening.
Having listened to Petty’s words, Fang Hao fell silent.
This Gnoll Tribe seemed to be contending for the mine, but they also asked a lot of questions about the undead.
Because of the increasingly sensitive situation with the Skullcrusher Tribe, his heart grew more concerned.
Even if he was overthinking it and the Gnolls simply wanted to share in the spoils, Fang Hao would not agree. They didn’t do anything yet demanded half the mining output. How shameless!
“How large is the Gnoll Tribe’s territory? Tell me about their population and military strength,” said Fang Hao.
Upon hearing this, joy instantly filled the hearts of the pig-headed humans.
This meant that the Lord could no longer tolerate the situation and planned to take action.
Petty pondered for a moment, then said: “Their Clan Leader is a third-tiered green hero. The population is around 2,000. Pigmen Village is definitely not their match.”
The population of Pigmen Village was just over a hundred.
And there was no hero to defend it, so naturally, they were no match for the Gnolls.
If it weren’t for the presence of Fang Hao, the pig-headed humans would not have the right to own the mining area at all.
“Okay, I understand. Get ready, and when the army arrives, we will wipe them out.”
Having said that, Fang Hao immediately withdrew himself from the situation.
Awaking from his bedroom, he picked up his magic wand, put on his armor, and walked out of the Stone Tower.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Anjia carrying a black iron treasure box towards him.
With a bang, she threw it in front of Fang Hao.
“Can you open this? Let’s see if there’s anything good inside.”
The treasure box was a special reward for the Lord after a battle.
Others couldn’t open it; only Fang Hao and the skeletons possessed by him could.
Anjia found the treasure box, fumbled with it for a while but couldn’t open it, so she directly carried it back and threw it in front of Fang Hao.
Fang Hao looked at the treasure box on the ground and scratched his head, “Collected from the outside?”
He had just invoked God’s Presence status and not much time had passed, so where did this black iron treasure box come from?
“Oh, I was strolling around our territory and found a nest of Forest Giant Spiders. That’s where I saw this treasure box,” Anjia casually said.
Fang Hao definitely didn’t believe her.
He had cleared the surrounding area with a team, and the territory range was patrolled by many skeletons.
Not to mention Forest Giant Spiders, even ordinary beasts kept their distance.
Alright, as long as Anjia isn’t in danger, that’s fine.
Just open the treasure chest directly.
[Received: Beast Bone Fish Spear blueprint, stump stool blueprint, Warfire Coin+11.]
Well,…
The luck this time is average, there isn’t anything useful.
“Anjia, where are the corpses, those of the forest giant spiders?” Fang Hao asked.
“Thrown over there, why? You want the corpses too? The meat is sour, it can’t be eaten at all.” Anjia emphasized.
“Not that, corpses can be converted into skeleton soldiers, which can increase the number of soldiers in the territory.”
“Oh, then I’ll go back and get them.” Anjia was about to turn around and leave.
Fang Hao quickly stopped her and said, “Forget it, come out with me later.”
“Oh.”
Next, Fang Hao summoned Fireblade and explained the situation about Pigmen Village.
This time he wants to wipe out the Gnoll Tribe directly to ensure that the mine can be mined normally without interruption.
Twenty thousand infantry, five thousand skeleton ogres, fifteen thousand undead mages.
Forty thousand troops, seemingly an overkill just to wipe out the Gnoll Tribe. The reason for bringing so many people is still for his own safety.
“Fireblade, you stay and hold the territory, Anjia will go with me.” Fang Hao made a choice between his two generals.
The reason for choosing Anjia was not because Fireblade was incapable.
Instead, Fang Hao was uneasy about Anjia guarding the territory, fearing that she would start her own games as soon as he left.
This time, the hero of the Gnolls was only at the green third-order, and any of the heroes could wipe him out.
Therefore, Fireblade is left to guard the territory.
“Yes, my lord.” Fireblade expressed his understanding.
After counting the troops, Fang Hao walked out of the territory with the army, heading towards Pigmen Village.
On the way, Fang Hao was lying on a cart, with Anjia also lying beside him.
A big plant leaf shielded the sunlight overhead.
Lazily, he asked: “Are you actually a human or not?”
“If you curse me again, I’ll get angry.”
“No, I mean, are you a living human?” Anjia turns around, curiously looking at Fang Hao.
“You’ve had several meals with me, can’t you tell if I’m alive or not?” Fang Hao closed the Book of Lords and retorted.
The undead don’t need to eat.
In a way, not needing to eat is also an advantage.
“Then how come you can control these skeletons, aren’t you the illegitimate son of some undead king?” Anjia continued to ask curiously.
Just yesterday, he forced her to sign the contract, she was full of grievances.
Now she’s chasing after Fang Hao with questions, her acceptance of reality is quite swift.
“Illegitimate son? Have you ever seen a female skeleton?” Fang Hao asked in return.
“How would I know, I’m asking you! It’s my first time seeing the undead. I’ve never seen them before.” Anjia replied.
“Due to some special opportunities, I have gained the ability to control the undead. All you need to remember is that our territory belongs to the undead faction. These undead creatures will not harm you.” Fang Hao explained.
“Oh, so you are human after all.” The tone of Anjia’s voice suddenly became gloomy.
She lost interest instantly.
Fang Hao felt like she was still swearing at him, so he turned away and stopped paying attention to her.
Time passed bit by bit, with the team moving forward without a pause.
Finally, they arrived at Pigmen Village.
From afar, Petty and a group of pigmen were seen waiting at the entrance.
As soon as he saw Fang Hao, he came right over to bow, “My lord.”
“Hmm, is the room ready?” Fang Hao jumped off the cart and asked while walking.
“It’s ready, the same room as before.” Petty spoke softly.
Fang Hao walked straight into the room. Two hundred skeleton soldiers immediately surrounded the house.
Even Petty himself wasn’t allowed to approach..
