Chapter 1102: Chapter 709, Fishman Warrior
The fishn of the ‘Thornfin Sea’ evidently possessed a higher intelligence.
Not only did they exhibit courtesy, but they also wished to have a conversation with Fang Hao and inquire about certain situations.
It seed there was no difference from any ordinary power.
*Fang Hao even suspected that these fishn had been watching the battle from afar and only ca over to ask questions after it concluded.*
“What did they just say to you?” Fang Hao asked.
“They asked about my origin, whether there was any news of the Father God, and the force to which I am currently loyal,” the ancient blood priest replied in a muffled voice.
Priests and clerics, in races that have faith in deities, always held very high status.
The appearance of a long-lost priest naturally drew the attention of these fishn.
Even though the ancient blood priest was now rely a living dead retaining a fishman form.
“They’re able to communicate?”
“They can communicate. I inford them that I had been dead and lacked the information they required, and that it was you who revived , and I now serve you,” the ancient blood priest continued.
Undead heroes crafted had their mories altered.
Clearly, Nelson had erased the part where Fang Hao attacked the temple and fought with him, replacing it with Fang Hao reviving him.
Fang Hao nodded, continuing, “Well, have the person they want to talk with co over. I am also willing to maintain peace with the fishn.”
Even the ship’s bow had been changed, indicating no desire for a war with the fishn.
At least, unsure of whether there were treasures at the location of the rumored chart, he did not want to engage in war with the fishn.
There was no need, and after all, the ocean was not the developnt direction he intended.
“Yes, my lord.”
The ancient blood priest left, returning shortly with a fishman across the ranks of the undead.
With a leap, he sprang from the water onto the deck.
[Kautz General – Glukiro (Purple Tier 4 Hero)].
Purple hero.
This ‘Kautz General’ bore no overall difference from the fishn encountered previously.
The scales were more vibrant, and its back had spines protruding one by one.
The body was slightly larger compared to ordinary Kautz fishn.
The upper body was mostly bare, with only two round Heart-Preserving Mirrors on the chest.
They looked sowhat like won’s lingerie.
In the sunlight, they glittered.
Yet, it was certain that this fishman was definitely male.
The lower body equipped with a skirt armor, holding a trident in hand, with hamr- and nail-shaped tools hanging at the waist.
They seed purposely designed to hamr the ship.
*Fang Hao further suspected that if he hadn’t dealt with that fleet, these fishn might have co to hamr holes in the ship.*
“I’m Fang Hao. What does this commander wish to discuss with ?” Fang Hao spoke first.
The fishman opposite also took a mont to study Fang Hao and the few heroes beside him.
For fishn, Lizardn and Orcs were still rather rare to see.
“Glukiro, welco, human friend,” the fishman expressed amicably, then continued, “We heard fighting and ca to verify the situation.”
The fishman’s tone was peculiar, but the system provided a translation.
Fang Hao nodded and said, “That fleet saw I only had one ship and tried to plunder , so I had to teach them a lesson.”
“Recently, there have often been battles between ships occurring here,” the fishman comnted.
“Yeah.”
The fishman general continued to ask, “Where is the destination of your journey? We may escort your sea vessel over.”
Possibly, the bow totem played a role.
The fishman showed ample friendliness, even offering to escort their sea vessel across.
In Bai Xuan’s intelligence,
fishn typically did not engage with foreign forces in any exchange. If any fleet entered the ‘Thornfin Sea,’ they would get attacked.
Such inquiries like this would never occur.
Therefore, the Federation and the Sea Tribe believed fishn were an uncivilized race, impossible to communicate with.
Fang Hao smiled and said, “Actually, our purpose for this journey is to go to the ‘Thornfin Sea’ to discuss cooperation with you.”
“Cooperation?”
This reply was evidently beyond the fishman general’s expectations.
Fishn were known never to contact the outside world, let alone cooperate.
“Yes, I have so equipnt that you can use and would like to trade with you,” Fang Hao explained.
It had been sowhat unwise to straightforwardly say he ca to the center of their territory looking for treasures.
A simple and reasonable excuse was to see if there really were treasures, then make further decisions.
The fishman pondered for a mont, then nodded and said, “I will convey your ssage back. You can wait here for my news.”
“Sure, these two sets of equipnt I intend to sell, you can take them back,” Fang Hao handed two sets of gear from his storage space.
One was the blue ‘Agile White Steel Set,’ usually fishn equipnt.
The second was the purple ‘Wanderer’s Set,’ also obtained from a treasure chest in the Fishn Temple.
“Alright, don’t leave this area,” the fishman took the two sets of equipnt, said another sentence, then jumped back into the sea, leading the fishman troop away.
Fang Hao could not leave for a while.
After all, the items in those sunken ships had not yet been salvaged.
“Gulrukubagu, continue having people salvage items of value, bring them up before the fishn return.”
Watching the fishman general depart, Fang Hao continued to give orders.
“Yes, my lord.”
Splash!
All the ocean undead imdiately dispersed, proceeding to the location of the sunken ships to continue salvaging items.
…
Very soon, the deck was piled high with assorted goods.
Over a hundred field cannons, various types of gear, weapons, and even fire shot pellets covered the entire deck.
Additionally, there were gold and silver utensils, chandeliers, carpets from the ships, water barrels, mops, and even various vegetables and foods.
The variety was truly vast.
Field cannons salvaged were imdiately exchanged by Fang Hao as soon as they were brought up.
After all, the deck space was limited.
Demitrija and Anjia were tallying the quantity of trophies.
anwhile, Fang Hao turned his attention to the Book of Lords beside him.
During a transmigrator’s death, the Book of Lords wouldn’t vanish imdiately.
Fang Hao hadn’t tested the exact duration.
But clearly, the ti had not yet arrived for these dead ones to disappear.
Without hesitation, he began to devour the books one by one.
[Capable of devouring 52 Books of Lords.]
Then, a stack of Books of Lords transford into stars and rged into Fang Hao’s Book of Lords.
[You have gained decisiveness over 52 territories.]
[Occupy/Abandon]
[Occupy: It will beco your subsidiary territory and can continue to develop.]
[Abandon: You will gain 50% – 80% of the territory’s resources, and the territory will be abandoned.]
Fang Hao glanced at the positions indicated on the map.
It was in a further southern location, according to the nautical chart in Captain Bai Xuan’s cabin.
It should be the location of ‘Giant Claw Island.’
He chose to occupy one of them.
All the other 51 were abandoned.
[You have occupied 1 subsidiary territory, owning the territory and its affiliated city rights.]
[You can establish ‘deputy governor’ in the Book of Lords.]
[You have abandoned 51 subsidiary territories, gaining 80% of their territory resources and 50% of their building resources as a return.]
A massive supply of goods was transported over from the direction of Giant Claw Island.
Directly into the main city’s warehouse.
On the Book of Lords’ map, those abandoned territories were shrouded in mist once more, making them unobservable.
[Book of Lords elevated to level eleven, marching speed 8%, resource exploitation 10%, unit attack 5.5, regional/world channel speech 110.]
Though the levels of these people’s Books of Lords weren’t high, the sheer number made up for it.
It elevated Fang Hao’s level from eight directly to eleven.
[New blueprints unlocked: Dark Reef Fortress Construction Blueprint (Purple), Pearlescent Fish Pond Farm Construction Blueprint (Blue), Coral Aquatic Prison Construction Blueprint (Blue), …, White Steel Katana Construction Blueprint (Blue), Hard Silver Katana Construction Blueprint (Blue), …, Sailboat Construction Blueprint (Blue), Large Sea Tribe Vessel Construction Blueprint (Purple) …]
Blueprints were unlocked one by one.
With the advantage in numbers, the quantity remained quite sufficient.
From buildings to weapons and armor, and even sea vessels, sails, and various tools.
But it was also evident that they were all related to the ocean.
[Dark Reef Fortress: Hard and Resilient Wood 1500, Fine Crafted Bricks 850, Reefs 450, Cast Iron blocks 220, tal Parts 150.]
(Description: The looming and concealed reef becos the strongest fortress, blocking enemy navigation.)
According to its description, the Dark Reef Fortress was an obstacle designed to impede ships’ progress.
Yet, with its purple rating, it likely had so special uses.
[Pearlescent Fish Pond Farm] is a building for culturing marine life, corresponding to the land’s farms and ranches.
Effect: Growth 15%, Reproduction 10%.
This blueprint was quite decent, at least functional for him.
[Coral Aquatic Prison] corresponds to buildings like blood prisons or dungeons.
The inclusion of coral walls in the materials signifies its function to imprison underwater captives.
As for land captives, imprisoning them in Coral Aquatic Prisons would lead to their drowning; it was unnecessary to go through that trouble.
Having looked through the building blueprints,
Fang Hao quickly scanned through a few equipnt blueprints.
Ultimately, his attention fell on the two katana designs.
[White Steel Katana: Hard and Resilient Wood 2, Cast Iron block 5, White Steel Ingot 5, tal Parts 6, Linen 3.]
[Hard Silver Katana: Ironized Wood 1, Cast Iron block 8, Fine Iron 3, Mithril 2, tal Parts 5, Soft Leather 1, Linen 3.]
The White Steel Katana belonged to the blue weapons category; it could be manufactured and sold on the channel.
[Hard Silver Katana] had already reached purple quality, with the addition of fine iron and mithril in the materials.
The weapon itself increased sharpness by 7%.
It was suitable to equip ‘Beiyehu’ with two katanas, as she didn’t bring any weapons or equipnt when summoned.
After glancing at the ship blueprints, Fang Hao also looked at the remaining household items.
They were not particularly interesting.
These were little things he had no use for and couldn’t sell well on the channel.
They were rely items that were neither here nor there.
…
During the wait for news from the fishn,
Fang Hao exchanged for several fishing rods, sitting with Anjia and others on the railing to fish.
Not that they really aid to catch anything.
Just to pass the ti.
If they truly wanted to eat fish, the simplest way would be to have the underwater units catch so, filling several barrels quickly.
If they fancied shark, it could be arranged too.
Splash!
The ancient blood priest erged again from the water, “My lord, the fishman who left has returned.”
“Let him co over then.”
Soon, the departing ‘Kautz General’ leaped back onto the deck, saying, “Co with then, I’ll lead you in, but make sure to restrain the surrounding undead.”
*Upon hearing the agreent, Fang Hao also smiled.*
*The plan proceeded more smoothly than anticipated.*
“Alright, let’s go!”
The fishman dove back into the sea, leading a group of fishn ahead as guides.
With a wave of his hand, Fang Hao directed the White Satin Queen to move slowly, following closely behind the fishn.
…
The journey delved deep into the ‘Thornfin Sea.’
More and more fishn gathered around the sea vessel, gazing downward.
Everywhere he looked was a dense swarm of dark shadows.
The number of fishn exceeded his expectations by a large margin.
Soon, the leading fishman lightly knocked on the boat’s side, “We’re here. Co down with !”
Go down?
Fang Hao was about to say descending might be inconvenient for him.
But that fishman splashed down at once.
He had to release the Deomn Doll, then followed suit into the sea.
“Gulrukubagu, co along and have a look,” Fang Hao controlled the Deomn Doll, saying to the ancient blood priest.
