According to the rules,
Fang Hao can freely use the resources of the subsidiary village, but Petty needs Fang Hao’s consent to use them.
In a sense, this village is now Fang Hao’s village.
Petty is more like a temporary manager, acting as the village chief. Therefore, upgrading the village and increasing its defense level is a must. Upon this thought, Fang Hao upgraded the village immediately.
He upgraded the walls to a level three and set up arrow towers at each of the four corners.
He then upgraded all the buildings inside the village to a level three as well. Unlike the subsidiary territories, the building level of a subsidiary village can’t surpass the region’s level, it can only be upgraded to level three.
Petty watched the village expand and upgrade with an excited look on her face. This recent round of upgrades had accelerated the village’s development by several years.
“My Lord…” Petty’s eyes sparkled with awe.
Even though the human in front of her was still rather ugly, it didn’t hinder her admiration and respect towards him.
“Alright, I’m going to leave soon. I’ll leave some soldiers here for defense, how many do you think will be required?” Fang Hao whispered.
Fang Hao still needed to return to his own land.
He would leave some troops at the Pigmen Village for routine patrols and defenses, but the specific amount would require Petty’s opinion.
The other pig-headed humans in the village were still somewhat resistant to the undead.
“My Lord, these undead soldiers… Can they obey orders?” Petty asked after some thought.
If Fang Hao left and the undead soldiers lost control, they could potentially wipe out the entire village.
“Don’t worry, before I leave I will give them orders. Besides me, they will follow your commands,” Fang Hao reassured Petty in a gentle voice.
“Oh, that’s good, then let’s leave 1000 soldiers. They will be responsible for the village’s safety,” Petty suggested.
The village was not large, and 1000 troops were more than enough to defend it. “Okay.1‘
Fang Hao appointed 1000 skeleton infantrymen and gave them the order to obey Petty’s commands, besides his own.
When everything was in order,
Fang Hao started his journey back to his own land with the remaining skeleton soldiers.
When he returned to his territory, the moon was high in the sky.
The skeleton army carried torches throughout the journey, and many wild beasts closely followed them in the dark.
But as the troops advanced, the beasts would run away.
Following for a while, once they neared Fang Hao’s territory the beasts dispersed.
Only returning to the wooden palace,
Eira heard his arrival and rushed out to greet him.
“Master, you’re back,” Eira leapt into Fang Hao’s arms.
Just like a kitten who has been waiting for its owner at home, she was slightly cautious and somewhat reproachful.
Fang Hao smiled lightly, stroking her ears. “Sorry for being late, I was busy,” he said.
[Eira of the Rabbitmen Clan’s loyalty to you has increased by 8 points. Current loyalty is 98.]
What?
Simply by stroking her ears, he’d gained 5 points of loyalty.
Fang Hao gently stroked Eira’s ears again.
Eira lifted her head, her eyes filled with affection, “Master…”
With a loyalty of 98, Fang Hao could clearly feel Eira’s reliance on him.
A stark contrast from when he first purchased her.
“Okay, you’re a grown woman, stop acting like a child. Have you had dinner?” Fang Hao asked softly.
“Yes, I’ll prepare for you right away.” Eira loosened her grip and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
They had a simple meal.
It was already late, so they went straight back to their rooms.
Lying on the bed, Fang Hao first called the Skeleton Giant Bat to patrol the surrounding areas of the territory.
Only after being assured there were no dangers did he comfortably go to sleep.
The next day,
when Fang Hao awoke, the sun was high in the sky.
He had gone to bed late the previous night and Eira hadn’t woken him up, so he ended up sleeping until noon.
After getting dressed, he went downstairs and began to wash up.
“Master, you’re awake.” Eira smiled as she said.
“Hmm.” Fang Hao replied, drying his face.
“Just a moment, Master. I’ll prepare breakfast right away. By the way, there’s a skeleton merchant who arrived in our territory. He said to have a look at the market once you’re awake.” Eira suddenly seemed to remember and hurriedly told him.
The sudden appearance of the skeleton merchant gave Eira quite a scare.
Fortunately, the skeleton merchant was quite polite. After introducing himself, he returned to the market area.
The mention of the skeleton merchant made Fang Hao pause.
He immediately glanced at the wooden board in front of his gate that marked the time.
As expected, it was the time that the skeleton merchant was supposed to arrive.
“Alright, I’ll go check him out,” Fang Hao said.
While Eira went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, Fang Hao quickly made his way to the market area.
The undead zone within the market.
Ruer, the skeleton merchant, was leaning on his cane, elegantly seated on a chair as he waited quietly.
Seeing Fang Hao approaching, he rose to his feet and respectfully greeted,
“Good afternoon, my lord.”
“Good afternoon, Mr. Ruer. I was up late last night, so I overslept a bit,” Fang Hao apologized.
“Haha, no worries. Would you like to take a look at the goods now?”
“Sure.”
Ruer tapped his cane on the ground again.
A gloomy tunnel leading to the crypt opened once again, and the bone racks rose.
On the racks were six items as usual.
[Leather Vest Blueprint (White)]Price: 5 Warfire Coins.
[Wooden Spinning Wheel Blueprint (Green)]Price: 20 Warfire Coins.
[Forge Structure Blueprint (Green)]Price: 25 Warfire Coins.
[Advanced Hero Contract (Blue)]Price: 50 Warfire Coins.
[Viscera Jar (Green)jPrice: 50 Warfire Coins.
[Blank Map]Price: 2 Warfire Coins.
(Time left for the merchant’s stay: 2 hours 12 minutes.)
Looking at the blueprints this time, Fang Hao was very satisfied.
Indeed, shopping is the quickest way to fulfil one’s needs.
This time, he obtained many blueprints.
“Mr. Ruer, I’ll take all of the goods this time,” Fang Hao said with a smile.
He took out 152 Warfire Coins from his pocket and handed them to Ruer.
“Thank you for your generosity.” Ruer unhooked all the blueprints from the shelves and handed them to Fang Hao one by one.
The market was in its early stages, and the items for sale were all ordinary goods.
Of course, Ruer also had a good impression of Fang Hao.
He was decisive, and he bought all the goods every time he saw them.
With all the goods cleared from the shelves, Ruer slowly returned to his crypt, “Goodbye, my lord.”
“Goodbye Mr. Ruer, 1 look forward to your next visit.”
Ruer gracefully bowed, and the crypt slowly closed.
After bidding farewell to the skeleton merchant.
Fang Hao began to examine the properties of the goods he had purchased this time.
[Leather Vest (White): Iron 3, Leather 5.]
There’s a difference between a vest and a saddle.
A saddle is a seat placed on a horse’s back to increase riding stability.
A vest, on the other hand, is a type of armor. It provides the horse with a layer of protection, enhancing its defence.
It tends to be used more by combat horses.
With the vest blueprint, he could boost the combat capability of his territory’s cavalry.
He decided not to rush the production and continued to the next blueprint.
