Preparation and gathering precise intelligence are crucial before launching an attack.
This kind of intelligence can be obtained in several ways, not just by arranging scout patrols.
For example, contact some of the insiders among the orcs, pay them, and gather some ‘unimportant’ intelligence.
This method should be feasible in the Frostwind Mountain Range, where the Skullcrusher Tribe relies heavily on their martial strength.
“So, it’s worth a try,” said Bronze Bull.
“Alright, settle this matter. Don’t hesitate to spend some money if needed, just dig out all the information about the Skullcrusher Tribe,” Fang Hao made the decision straightforwardly.
Bronze Bull is quite reputable, so he should have no issues handling this.
“Yes, sir.” Bronze Bull responded in a deep voice.
“And, also, continue to manage the Manim Market. Financial and manpower support will be provided as needed,” Fang Hao spoke again.
The east side of the city is occupied by Orc Tribes and the market operated by Bronze Bull for many years has brought considerable profits to Manim.
Being able to maintain this would likewise become an important source of revenue for our territory.
Thus, the Manim Market must not be abandoned, and Bronze Bull should still be allowed to operate it. If necessary, Fang Hao would invest resources and manpower to support it.
“Sir, how do you intend to handle the other tribes?” Bronze Bull further inquired.
He was referring to the orcs of some other tribes who were captured at the Manim Market.
They had agreed to meet up with Bronze Bull at Manim and then proceed together to a predetermined location in the Skullcrusher Tribe’s territory.
Who would have thought that Fang Hao would arrive first with his undead army, and many of them have now become captives.
Bronze Bull was under Fang Hao’s command, but these people were in a very awkward position. They weren’t of much use to Fang Hao; whether they live or die completely depended on Fang Hao’s mood and his promises to Bronze Bull.
“They could be spared. Don’t let the clan leaders leave for now, prepare the slave contracts. When the time comes, have them sign the contracts to turn their tribes into vassal villages,” Fang Hao considered and then said.
When your martial prowess holds an absolute advantage…
There are too many ways to control a small power.
Signing a slave contract is one of Fang Hao’s more accommodating methods.
There are many places in the city that need manpower. These people can be fully utilized.
“Alright, sir. When will you leave?” Bronze Bull asked.
“I’m leaving immediately. I’ll have Fireblade stay behind in this city. If anything happens in Manim, Fireblade will support you immediately,” said Fang Hao.
“Understood.”
Having resolved the issue, Fang Hao, along with Eira and others, left the lord’s hall.
Fireblade led a hundred thousand undead troops to maintain the city while the rest returned to the main city.
If any problems occur, the Bone Dragon could reach here in just twenty minutes. They could effectively provide support.
When the Bone Dragon returned to the main city and landed…
The Rabbit Clan maids, with people’s help, finally managed to walk down, their
bodies stiff with fear.
Their faces were pale, and they knelt on the ground, it took a long time for
them to recover.
Fang Hao touched the maids’ foreheads, feeling uncertain.
“Eira, are you guys alright?” Fang Hao asked.
Did the Bone Dragon fly too fast?
They are so young, one dragon ride shouldn’t have affected them like this. “We’re fine, Master. It’s our first-time flying so high. We just need a bit of time to recover,” Eira forced herself to stand up.
Rabbitmen were innately timid. The undead, dragons, and high altitude scared
them quite a lot when put together.
After a while, the Rabbit women had calmed down quite a bit and started getting busy with their own affairs.
“Sir, I’ll get back to work as well,” said Nelson from the side.
This time, they’ve obtained the body of an Orc hero. Nelson needs to turn it into a skeleton hero as quickly as possible to cope with any dangers the territory may face in the future.
“So sorry to bother you, Scholar Nelson,” Fang Hao spoke apologetically.
Nelson’s role in the territory is irreplaceable, and he needs to consult him on things he is unsure about, both in combat and administration. Meanwhile, Nelson has always been the busiest hero in the territory, whether there’s a fight or not.
“I’m willing to share the load for you, sir.” Nelson bowed slightly and walked towards the Viscera Museum.
After Nelson left, Fang Hao began to get busy with his own affairs.
The forced task rewards had yet to be issued, so he could first construct the blueprints received.
The main city is currently not open to the outside, so there is no rush to construct an inn.
It was necessary to build a shooting range.
[Level 1 Shooting Range: Wood 500, Stone 700, Straw 200, Leather 120, Hemp
Rope too.]
He headed to the Undead building area, choosing a spacious location.
Little by little, a glow formed the outline of the building.
Five minutes later, a shooting range appeared in front of Fang Hao.
Within the spacious stone walls, several straw targets bundled together with straw stood in the distance.
Given the availability of materials.
Fang Hao immediately upgraded the shooting range to level 3.
Due to a shortage of level 4 Shadowstones, he could only stop there.
[Level 3 Shooting Range]
[Recruit: Skeleton Archer]
[Skeleton Archer: Wriggling Spines 2.]
(Remarks: Archers belonging to the building’s faction can be recruited here. Upgrading the building unlocks new types of soldiers and higher-ranking units.)
[Upgrade Materials Required: Wood 1700, Stone 2500, Straw 1000, Leather
800, Shadowstones 12.]
Based on the recruitment material requirements.
The consumption of 2 Wriggling Spines implies that the Skeleton Archer starts at Level 2.
Although it is not high, it’s a rank higher than the Skeleton Warriors who start at Tier 1.
He decided to recruit once first, to replace the regular skeletons on the tower.
He set the quantity to one.
Recruit!
[Hundredfold Amplifier triggered, 101 skeleton archers recruited.)
Wooosh!
101 Skeleton Archer frames appeared in front of Fang Hao.
Unlike the Skeleton Warriors, which appeared stark naked, the Skeleton Archers maintained their final dignity.
A band was tied to their foreheads, which could be regarded as their own clothing.
[Skeleton Archer]
[Faction: Undead]
[Racial Traits: Undead, Hollow Skeleton, Light Weakness.]
[Skills: Steady Aim.]
[Inherent Ability: Basic Archery Mastery.]
[Steady Aim] (Active): Enter a steady aiming state, increase attack by 20%, and hit rate by 30%.
(Remarks: Awakened from a long sleep, the undead archers, with their former skills and unwavering loyalty to their lord till death, continue to faithfully execute all the orders given by their lord, just like they did when they were alive.)
It’s needless to say that the Skeleton Archer is a ranged unit.
But Fang Hao also noticed that archers differ from other types of units.
They have no specific weapon requirements.
When recruited, the Skeleton Warriors came with a sword and shield combo, their skills requiring them to bear a shield.
The Skeleton Spearmen used a spear and shield combo, their skills required them to bear a war spear.
But the Skeleton Archers didn’t have any specific requirements.
Ranged weapons also come in many types -bows, crossbows, slingshots, or even muskets, for which Fang Hao had the blueprints but lacked the materials. This also enabled the Skeleton Archers not to be restricted by weapons—the weapon that could deal higher damage could be prioritized for equipping. “You guys, go to the Arrow Tower, replace the Skeleton Warriors, and the rest go to the warehouse to get a two-handed light crossbow to the city wall.” Fang Hao issued the command.
All the Skeleton Archers began to move, heading to their posts.
The sky was dim.
At this moment, the system alert appeared again.
[Congratulations, Lord, for completing the ‘Skull-Breaker Hammer’ mission!] [Rewards Distributed: +5o Influence to All Factions, noo Influence to Faction, One Faction Building Blueprint, One Random Building Blueprint, noo Warfire Coins.]
[Compulsory mission closed, random special mission opened.]
[Wish all the lords have a joyous life???? ]
