Of course, the value of an item is in its importance to you.
Fang Hao has no use for healing potions, but at this moment, they are lifesaving items for Dong Jiayue.
Shadowstones are useless to Dong Jiayue, yet they are rare resources for Fang Hao.
It’s just a matter of mutual need.
Both of them got what they needed and were satisfied.
“Brother Hao, I have used it, and it seems to have some effect. I need to rest and will stop chatting with you for now,” Dong Jiayue said again.
“Okay, rest well.”
After saying that, they both ended the chat.
Fang Hao walked out of the cabin and returned to the dining table to continue eating.
After finishing his meal, Fang Hao didn’t take a break.
Instead, he went to check on his collection of stone bricks in the resource area.
He had arranged thousands of skeletons in Shadowwind Castle to work tirelessly at demolishing and gathering stone bricks.
Yesterday, he had already amassed over 160 stone bricks, so they should have reached the required quantity by now.
Indeed, he had 240 units of stone bricks.
Just enough to upgrade the lord’s hall.
[Level 4 Lord’s Cabin]: Wood 2200, Stone 1000, Leather 240, Hemp Rope 180, Stone Brick 200.
Upgrade.
A faint glow rose from the Lord’s cabin as the upgrade started.
The countdown began for the construction, 10 minutes.
As the level of buildings increased, so did the construction time.
This was something to bear in mind in the future. He couldn’t afford to be without a place to stay, especially at night when he and Eira are upgrading.
The 10 minutes passed quickly, and the Lord’s cabin was upgraded.
[Level 4 Lord’s Cabin]
[Lord: Fang Hao]
[Existing structures: Level 3 Underground Cemetery, Level 3 Warehouse, Level 3 Burial Grounds, Level 3 Lumber Yard, Level 3 Pasture, Level 1 Spiritual Field, Level 3 Wall, Level 3 Arrow Tower, Level 2 Hall of the Dead, Guard Pavilion, Skeleton Conversion Field, Viscera Museum.]
(Note: Core structure of the territory.)
[Upgrade Requirements: Wood 3500, Stone 2200, Hard Wood 1200, Stone Brick 1000, Hemp Rope 550, Iron 220.]
The area of the Level 4 Lord’s Cabin had been expanded by one-third again.
Although still called a cabin, from the outside it looked almost entirely built of stone with no visible wooden parts.
“Master, come and see, we’ve got a new kitchen!” Eira excitedly called.
Fang Hao also went inside the cabin to inspect.
The first-floor hall had greatly expanded, leaving a large open space where the tables and chairs were originally placed.
Apart from this, a separate kitchen was added on the first floor. Eira no longer had to cook outside over an open fire.
He continued to the second floor.
His bedroom and study had expanded again, and another bedroom had been added,
Now, there were four bedrooms in the Lord’s cabin.
After a look around, Fang Hao went downstairs, planning to upgrade the other buildings as well.
Passing by the first floor, he saw Eira happily putting various cooking ingredients into the kitchen one by one.
She seemed very pleased to have a kitchen.
Outside, he first arranged for the Underground Cemetery to be upgraded.
[Level 4 Underground Cemetery]: Wood 1200, Stone 1600, Leather too, Hemp Rope 240, Shadowstone 5.
The Underground Cemetery could be used to recruit skeleton laborers.
With each upgrade, the recruitment limit increases.
This is very helpful for territorial development and resource collection.
Upgrade!
Five minutes later, the Underground Cemetery upgrade was completed.
[Level 4 Underground Cemetery]
[Recruitable limit: 20/30]
[Recruitable: Skeleton (Free)]
(Note: Soldiers for basic work can be recruited in this building.)
“[Upgrade materials required: Wood 2000, Stone 2500, Hard Wood 400, Stone Bricks 300, Hemp Rope 320, Shadowstone 10, Death Trace 3.]
Level four upgrade of the Underground Cemetery is complete.
The recruitment limit has increased by 10.
But the materials required for the next upgrade have also increased significantly.
”[Available recruits: Skeletons 10, would you like to recruit?]
Recruit confirmed.
’’[Hundred-fold Amplification Triggered, successfully recruited 1010 skeletons.]
Hundred-fold amplification was triggered and obtained 1,010 skeleton workers straight away.
“Go to the warehouse, pick up the pickaxes, and stand by outside the territory,” Fang Hao said loudly.
The recruited worker skeletons picked up pickaxes from the warehouse and went to wait outside the territory.
With sufficient basic resources, he decided to assign these 1,000 skeletons to the demolition work at Shadowwind Castle to flatten the buildings as quickly as possible and collect more stone brick reserves.
Fearing that these skeletons might get lost if they went alone, he decided to have them wait for his instructions, and would take them over once he was finished with his tasks.
Once all the skeletons had left the territory, Fang Hao continued on to the next building.
“[Level four Burial Grounds]: Wood 1700, Stone 2200, Leather 350, Hemp Rope 500, Shadowstone 12.”
These Burial Grounds functioned as the barracks of the Undead faction.
Currently, they could recruit tier 1 skeleton soldiers and spear-bearers, all of which were melee units.
With sufficient materials, it was an ideal time for an upgrade.
Upgrade confirmed.
10 minutes later, the upgrade was complete.
The only pity was that the level four Burial Grounds did not unlock any new types of soldiers.
They were still skeleton soldiers and spear-bearers.
Next, Fang Hao upgraded the level four warehouse, city wall, arrow tower, and pasture in succession.
By the time he had finished all this, it was gradually getting darker.
He returned to his room, activated God’s Presence, and possessed one of the worker skeletons waiting outside the territory.
With a wave of his hand, he led all the newly recruited worker skeletons towards Shadowwind Castle for the large-scale demolition work.
Meanwhile.
Skullcrusher Tribe, Chillywind Mountain.
The Great Chief Shah was waiting with a gloomy expression on his face.
Before long, the orc priest walked in, looking slightly haggard.
“Great chief, Kent’s soul is bound by some force, and it cannot be resurrected through the altar,” the priest said softly.
Shah’s face darkened further.
“Can we communicate with him?” Amiri asked.
“If the Great Chief needs it, I can briefly awaken Kent’s soul.”
“Alright, wake up his soul then.”
The priest nodded, “Great Chief, please come with me.”
With that, they left the hall and headed for the altar.
The Skullcrusher Tribe was the most powerful orc tribe in Chillywind Mountain. They had conquered all the scattered tribes near the mountain, becoming the strongest leader.
But after unification, the tribe’s development faced new difficulties.
The land in Chillywind Mountain was barren, and mining resources were increasingly scarce.
So Shah turned his eyes to the resource-rich plains and forests for further development.
Kent was one of the pioneer armies he arranged. Once Kent managed to establish a foothold with his support, the entire tribe would migrate over there.
In the previous years, backed by the Skullcrusher Tribe, Kent’s tribe developed rapidly.
They soon eliminated several smaller nearby tribes and established a firm foothold.
But two days ago, Kent’s soul had returned to the altar, meaning Kent was dead, and he could not be resurrected even through the Hero Altar.
Soon, the two arrived in front of the Hero Altar.
Under the altar, hundreds of creatures from various races had their throats cut, their blood forming a strange glyph.
“Great Chief, Kent’s awakening time will be very short, you must ask him quickly,” the priest warned again.
“Yes, begin,” Amiri said, indicating his understanding.
The Orc priest began the ceremony. The figure of Fireblade-Kent gradually appeared on the Hero Altar..
