Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Desert Snake-man’s Obstruction Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Desert Snake-man’s Obstruction Confirming the Mining Field was useful, Fang Jie began to search for other mineral veins using the map.
This area was just at the edge of the desert, so there weren’t many veins, but that didn’t an there were none at all.
Within the region under his control, there were at least a dozen veins, although most of them were barren small veins.
Without a second thought, Fang Jie directly took his team and began mining overnight.
At the sa ti, he split up many groups, including other heroes to lead these teams.
By the middle of the night, all of the veins had been developed, establishing permanent Mining Fields.
“Now we won’t be short of copper and iron ore, and we even have a small Crystal Ore Vein.
Next, we can manufacture Alchemy Puppets on a large scale,” Fang Jie said, satisfied after reviewing the records.
“There’s also a silver mine here, although it’s not that significant, it’s still not bad.”
Silver wasn’t so important in this world.
While there were currencies like silver and copper coins, these were considered lower-end currencies.
Among the natives, the upper-class nobility and great rchants mostly used Gold Coins in trade.
For a Lord like himself, such currencies were practically worthless.
However, silver was also a special material, so it couldn’t be said to be completely without value.
“If only I could get a slting type of building.”
Fang Jie considered the Synthesis Diagram, realizing that using the Material Warehouse for ore was too wasteful.
If he had a slting building, he would get much more from the ore.
The Warehouse had many functions, but it wasn’t specialized in any, so it was a bit lacking.
He would get these things eventually, no need to rush.
anwhile, a group of Snake-n had gathered together.
“Gray Scale, what should we do?
The Undead have reinforced their numbers, and this ti they’re even more formidable,” one of the Desert Snake-n said with a worried face to a gray-scaled individual beside him.
This color was quite rare among Desert Snake-n.
Most unusually colored Desert Snake-n were weaker than their peers, but this one was extrely strong.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have beco the leader of this group of Snake-n, commanding their loyalty.
“We have no choice, we’re only responsible for scouting.
We can’t handle a military force of that scale.”
After a mont of thought, Gray Scale continued, “I’ve already communicated with the Lord.
He said to deploy our forces to the Abandoned Forest for a blockade; they will surely head there to reclaim their Territory.”
The so-called Abandoned Forest was a small grove that had appeared in the desert from a previous fall.
But because it was too small, the laws hadn’t protected it.
The plants within the grove quickly died off, assimilated by the desert, so it beca an abandoned grove.
There was a small Territory in that place, which they had cleaned up before.
What they didn’t expect was that before they could occupy that Territory, a massive wave of Undead Creatures charged toward them, forcing the Desert Snake-n to set aside their plans to deal with these Undead Creatures first.
“So we’re ant to stop those people there?”
“No, we’re not going there.
A blockade like that won’t hold against the Undead – to go would be sending ourselves to death.
We’ll find an excuse to leave this place and return to our main base, where the decisive battle will be.”
Gray Scale wasn’t foolish; he knew that the blocking plan was just a test of the enemy’s power.
Perhaps the Lord wanted to intimidate the enemy into retreat, but how could that be possible?
With such an imnse military force, no one would back down.
The Snake-n didn’t want to give up that Territory, so they resorted to what appeared to him to be a foolish strategy.
Indeed, after resting for a day, Fang Jie rose before noon the next day and continued advancing with his troops.
The map indicated the location of the Abandoned Forest.
Since the map was acquired after his expansion, the area that originally had Territories was also recorded.
“I wonder if this Territory hasn’t been abandoned yet; it’s right on the way, so it might be worth checking out.”
Fang Jie issued the order.
Apart from leaving behind a hundred thousand Undead, the rest followed him forward.
This place was a Territory after all and should not be wasted.
Fang Jie even left so Skeletons behind to build a Fortress nearby.
Of course, this Fortress was the kind that enclosed the entire Territory.
Only by doing so could he better protect this section of his Territory from intrusion.
However, as they advanced, Fang Jie realized sothing was wrong.
His Death Crows spotted a large gathering of Desert Snake-n and Desert Lizardn, all concentrated in the area of that Territory.
“Do they consider that place as their own territory?
They’ve actually assembled a force of three hundred thousand.”
To others, three hundred thousand troops was a considerable number, but to Fang Jie, it was diocre.
He then noticed so Desert Snake-n started burrowing underground.
But hiding such a massive army completely underground was practically impossible, and the area quickly beca overcrowded.
It seed they were preparing to confront him, but unfortunately, all his troops were Skeletons, who were essentially immune to the Desert Snake-n’s venom and ambush tactics.
“The situation ahead is as described, you will take command of the ensuing battle.”
Fang Jie relayed what he saw and handed over the command to Fang Hao.
After all, Fang Hao had always been exploring the desert region, so he was more familiar with the conditions there.
Handing over the command to Fang Hao was the most reliable choice.
“As you wish,” Fang Hao nodded slightly, accepting the command.
Cosette followed in silence, completely obedient to orders.
Soon the Skeletons encountered the opposing Desert Snake-n.
Before the two forces could clash, so dark figures appeared in the sky—chanical Flying Eagles.
Each eagle carried a large box, which they threw directly at the opposing force.
Had Fang Jie not instructed them, their attack range would have included the Territory as well.
From a distance, it wasn’t clear whether the Territory had been destroyed, but it seed to still stand.
The boxes hit the ground, releasing many spheres which ignited upon impact.
The burning spheres lted and the molten liquid spread flas everywhere.
The heat was too much for the Desert Snake-n to handle; one after another, they ran about engulfed in flas, even those underground couldn’t bear it.
