“How many times have you corresponded through letters?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
The other party’s words were nearly impossible to verify for authenticity. But that didn’t really matter. Any information was better than nothing, and he did’t plan on letting Nigo go anyway.
-There haven’t been any, the letter is still in your hands, it hasn’t been sent out yet.” Nigo gritted his teeth and said.
He was regretful at this moment.
If he hadn’t wasted time talking to the Pigmen, he wouldn’t have attracted these Undeads and the irritable woman in front of him.
-How many troops will they dispatch this time, and when will they make their move?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
“How should I know? I’ve never been to the Coldwind Mountains, only seen their reconnaissance team, nearly a hundred of them.” Nigo seemed somewhat wronged.
“Alright, watch him.” Fang Hao said.
In the short time while he was asking these questions.
The Skeletons had finished scavenging.
All the items were piled up in the center of the vacant land, forming a small hill.
[Equipment: 18Z.0 Gnoll Machetes, 455 Gnoll Bows, 15 Bundles of Iron Arrows,
1450 Leather Armors.]
[Resources: 882 Wriggling Spines, 31208 Wood, 25102 Stone, 5775 Straw, 355410 Leather, 725 Iron, 220 Copper, 240 Warfire Coins.] [Miscellaneous: 345 Baskets of Fruits, 10472 Units of Meat, 820 Units of Salt] [Furniture: 2000 Simple Wooden Beds, 800 Various Cabinets, 400 Tables and
Chairs, 4 Beast Horn Chandeliers, Some Pots and Pans, Curtains and Fabrics] The furniture of the Gnoll Tribe was average at best, not even as good as what was scavenged from the Fireblade Tribe.
But these were also harvests. With enough hands at their disposal, they naturally wanted to take everything back.
From this haul, it was clear that these Gnolls were skilled hunters.
The harvest of leather and meat was high.
Significantly more than what a village of this scale would normally store. “Alright, load everything up, take all the items back.” Fang Hao continued to order.
One by one, flatbed carts were pushed out from the forest. All the spoils of war, including the captured prisoner Nigo, were thrown onto the carts.
They started to return to the Pigmen Village.
Fang Hao was the first to exit the God’s Presence state and came out of the room.
Petty was still waiting at the door and asked, “Sir, you’ve come out. What’s the situation with the Gnolls…?”
The threat from the Gnolls was like a thorn in her heart, with the passing time making her worries more and more intense.
If Fang Hao couldn’t eradicate the Gnolls this time.
Given Nigo’s personality, he would definitely launch a frenzied revenge against the Pigmen Village.
By then, it wouldn’t be as simple as negotiations.
Therefore, whether Fang Hao’s battle could be successful or not was something she was more worried about than anyone else.
“It’s already settled, the team is on their way back.” Fang Hao replied with a smile.
Huh!
Petty took a deep breath.
Her two big ears flapped, she patted her full chest and said, “That’s good, that’s good.”
-Do you know about the Skullcrusher Tribe in Coldwind Mountains?” Fang Hao asked Petty.
Fang Hao learned from Gnoll Nigo that the Skullcrusher scouting party had come before he had taken control of the Pigmen Village.
Which meant they probably visited the Pigmen Village before Fang Hao stationed skeleton soldiers there.
“The Skullcrusher Tribe?” Petty furrowed her brows, trying to remember, in the end, she shook her head and said, “I haven’t heard of it, is it a nearby tribe?”
Petty wouldn’t deceive him.
She and Fang Hao shared a master-servant relationship. If Fang Hao were in danger, she wouldn’t survive either. Therefore, Petty definitely didn’t know if she said she didn’t.
“It’s in the Coldwind Mountains. It’s said to be a quite large tribe.” Fang Hao explained.
“Sir, Pigmen Village is too small. We haven’t been able to interact with such forces.” Petty said, seeming helpless.
“No problem.”
While the two were talking.
The Skeleton Army, along with several wagons, emerged from the outer edges of the village.
The copious amount of furniture and supplies that appeared before everyone signified the victory of this battle.
“Petty, see if there’s any furniture you can use. Store all the resources in the warehouse.” Fang Hao instructed.
“Yes, sir.”
Pigmen Village is a subsidiary village, affiliated under the Book of Lords, their warehouses are interconnected.
For instance, during construction, materials can be shared across both places without the need to transfer resources back and forth.
Petty started giving orders, categorizing and selecting supplies, or moving them to the warehouse.
Meanwhile, Fang Hao was swapping the troops around.
All the skeleton soldiers originally stationed at Pigmen Village were replaced with Level 2 troops.
The Tier 1 troops followed Fang Hao back to his territory to be promoted.
The Lord’s Mansion and the White Bone Throne both provided a marching speed boost.
This allowed the team to reduce the time consumed on the road.
By around two in the afternoon, the whole troop had already returned to their territory.
“Fang Hao, what should we do with this guy?” Anjia dragged Nigo down directly.
She seemed a bit impatient with having to drag around such a burden.
“He might still be of use. Let Fireblade arrange someone to lock him up,” Fang Hao said.
“Oh,” Anjia replied before dragging Nigo off to find Fireblade.
Fang Hao also commanded the skeletons to unload all the furniture at the designated area.
Furniture like bedside cabinets and wardrobes were not easy to sell in the area channel.
After being listed, they could only sell a few in a day.
The majority would be distributed to the Pigmen Village and the newly joined Rabbitmen.
After Eira prepares lunch for Fang Hao and the others and they have finished eating-
Fang Hao begins to create the latest blueprints.
This time, he obtained three manufacturing blueprints in total.
They were the “Blueprint for Marching tent”, “Blueprint for Leatherworking Rack”, and “Blueprint for Improved Leather Boots”.
They wouldn’t use the marching tent for now. The Skeleton army didn’t need tents, even when they were outside.
The focus was on creating the items from the other blueprints. “Leatherworking Rack: 12 wood, 3 iron, 3 metal parts.” (Description: Can turn ordinary beast skin into thick leather.) Another tool for upgrading basic materials.
Materials are plentiful, so go ahead and make it.
“Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, you obtained 101 Leatherworking Racks.”
Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh!!
A collection of Leatherworking Racks had appeared in front of Fang Hao. “Leatherworking Rack”
“Placement: Workers 0/1”
“Raw material: Beast skin 2.”
“Product: Thick leather”
(Description: By multiple processes, makes ordinary Beast Skin into high-quality Thick Leather.)
Just as expected.
Luckily, as this is from a blueprint, the hundredfold amplification triggered and gained him directly 101 leatherworking racks.
Going outside the territory, he selected 101 skeletal laborers from the logging area.
He made them use the Leatherworking Racks to upgrade the leather. At this time, looking at the number of skeletons, the workforce within the territory was increasingly insufficient.
Once the issues with the Skullcrusher Tribe have been settled, he will need to purchase some slaves to expand the population within the territory. He can’t expect the skeletal laborers to do all the work.
The 40 female rabbit slaves that he bought had also been assigned work. In addition to sanitation within the territory, they were also assigned to the ranch, farm, and stables.
The advantage of the skeletal laborer is that they don’t have a physical limit and can persistently work.
Most of the time spent in the farm after sowing and watering is just watching over it.
Placing skeletons in places like farms and ranches wouldn’t exhibit their advantage.
So, he had the Rabbitmen Clan do the work there instead.
After settling the Leatherworking Racks, he continued to check out “Improved Leather Boots”.
“Improved Leather Boots: Thick Leather 3, Thread 2, Metal parts 2..”
