Chapter 83: Chapter 83, Hero Fireblade 1

Nelson hunched his back, leaning on his magic wand.

Although he was an immortal golden hero, his staggering steps looked quite like those of a battle-weary elder.

Next to him stood a tall skeleton warrior, his back straight and strong like an erected blade.

The contrast between the two was striking.

“Milord,” Nelson bowed slightly.

“Scholar Nelson,” Fang Hao welcomed with a smile.

The more contact he had with the undead, the more puzzled Fang Hao was. Why are all living creatures so opposed to the Undead Clan?

Compared to the savage Beast Clan, skeleton traders and Nelson were both affable, like gentlemen.

“Milord, allow me to introduce Fireblade.”

The skeleton warrior with a strong physique knelt down on one knee and said loudly, “Fireblade pledges loyalty unto death to you, my Lord.”

Fang Hao’s brow furrowed as he turned to look at Nelson.

Nelson nodded in affirmation.

Fireblade-Kent.

The orc hero who died at his hands.

After being transformed by Nelson, his status had become one of the heroes under Fang Hao’s command.

Fireblade’s attributes were quite good.

During his battle with the Beast Clan, Fang Hao had relied on overwhelming numbers of his undead army to bring down Fireblade.

The area around Fireblade was piled high with the skeletons of his victims.

Now that he has been transformed by Nelson, he had become one of the undead heroes under Fang Hao.

However, while Fireblade may be a hero, he could no longer progress or advance, remaining as is perpetually.

That is to say, Fireblade’s potential has peaked, he could no longer improve.

Of course, it’s too early to consider the issue of hero advancement at this point.

Adding one more hero, brought a significant improvement to the fief.

He proceeded to check Fireblade’s loyalty.

[Fireblade’s loyalty to you has reached too]

[Your subordinate, Fireblade’s loyalty has reached too points, negative emotions such as treachery and betrayal will not appear.]

The soul of Fireblade-Kent had been bound and modified by Nelson.

Although he retained his intellect, he lacked independent emotions. He had no memory of the past and would only be loyal to the fiefdom and to Fang Hao. This was a relief to Fang Hao.

In this way, Fireblade would harbor no further thoughts of revenge against him.

“Good, Fireblade, I welcome your addition.” Fang Hao declared loudly.

Fireblade rose to his feet, “Thank you, milord.”

After a moment of consideration, Fang Hao instructed two of his skeleton guards, “Go fetch the Bloodthirsty Set.”

The two skeleton warriors went into the room and brought out the four pieces of the Bloodthirsty Set, and the Bloodthirsty Blade.

This set of equipment had been obtained from the Fireblade Tribe.

Because it was too heavy, neither he nor any other soldiers could wear it, so it was kept in the lord’s hall.

“Fireblade, I entrust this set of gear to you. I hope in the future you will make a great contribution to our land.”

After all the twists and turns, it ended up back in Fireblade’s hands.

“Thank you, my lord.”

Fireblade donned the Bloodthirsty Set, holding the Bloodthirsty Blade in his hand, and his aura became instantly fierce.

“Alright, wait for me outside the territory, later we will explore the nearby map together.”

“Yes, my lord.” Fireblade responded and waited outside the territory.

Fang Hao had a brief chat with Nelson and then went straight back to the Lord’s cabin.

In his God’s Presence state, he took Fireblade and his troops to explore unknown areas.

Dusk was approaching.

The large troop returned with a full load.

Although they didn’t come across any special strongholds or forces, they hunted numerous beasts and found several wooden treasure chests.

Animals were butchered, providing food and hides, increasing the storage in the warehouse.

And the chests contained a good number of items.

[Blueprint for Iron Hoe, Blueprint for Stone Bowl, Natural Gem 12, Mithril 10, Springs Trace 3, Magic Power Trace 2.]

It was quite a rewarding excursion.

Wooden treasure chests usually contained limited items, besides materials, blueprints were generally basic ones.

As Fang Hao collected all the blueprints, the skeleton crew returning from Shadowwind Castle just happened to be unloading.

He had allocated a large amount of skeletons to demolish in Shadowwind Castle.

During his map exploration, he had checked the progress at Shadowwind Castle.

The once towering Shadowwind Castle had been reduced to ruins, and after consecutive work by thousands of skeletons, there was nothing left but rubble and broken walls.

The stone brick reserves in the territory were now enough for current upgrades.

And the speed of producing stone bricks at the stone processing factory was faster than regular mining, so he immediately issued the command for a full retreat.

All the working skeletons were called back to the territory.

Fang Hao, with 1200 skeleton laborers in front of the territory gate, started assigning tasks.

Firstly, he established three stone quarries and three logging sites outside the territory.

Then he upgraded all the quarries and logging sites to Level 4.

[Level 4 Quarry]

[Category: Building]

(Description: Quarry area, stone collection efficiency +15%.)

[Level 4 Logging Site]

[Category: Building]

(Description: Logging site area, wood collection efficiency +15%.)

Once established, it could significantly improve the efficiency of basic resource extraction.

The laborer skeletons began their work.

Fang Hao then returned to the territory and upgraded the other buildings.

He upgraded the [Underground Cemetery], [Warehouse], [Burial Grounds], [Castle Wall], [Arrow Tower] and [Corridor of the Dead] all to Level 4.

When all the upgrades were complete, the storage area for resources in the territory became instantly spacious.

All was done.

It was also time for dinner.

Perhaps because of the new clothes on the way, Eira was clearly in a good mood.

She introduced the ingredients for dinner to Fang Hao and fed him actively.

As the two enjoyed their meal, the long-lost system prompt sounded again in everyone’s ears.

[Congratulations on surviving 13 days.]

[In ten hours, all surviving Lord’s territories will enter the compulsory task ‘Nature’s Revenge’, where all territories will be attacked by Nature’s Guardians.]

[The number of Nature’s Guardians will be adjusted according to the total amount of resources collected within 14 days.]

[Good luck…]

The sudden task leaves Fang Hao slightly stunned.

He immediately turned to look at the wooden board recording the time next to him, today was his 13th day after the crossing.

In ten hours, it would be the 14th day.

Could it be that there’s a compulsory task every 7 days?
