At the ntion of Warfire Coins, Fang Hao’s heart raced.
He needed to amass enough Warfire Coins to buy the blueprints before the next visit of the skeleton rchant.
However, it seed that acquiring Warfire Coins was not as easy as he had thought.
“Do any of you have Warfire Coins?” he asked.
“Yes, we do.” Parker responded in haste.
“Well, bring them all out then, let’s see if it’s enough to buy your lives.”
“We…we don’t have them on us.” Parker stamred.
Fang Hao’s expression turned icy instantly. “Are you playing ?”
“No, no, sir! Let explain.” Parker hastily replied.
This is your last chance to speak,” said Fang Hao.
“Sir, we have so Warfire Coins in our village, we are willing to leave soone here as a collateral while we get the money for you,” Parker quickly proposed.
The proposal seed sowhat appealing to Fang Hao.
Given the small scale of the pig-headed human’s caravan, their tribe couldn’t pose much of a threat to him.
If they were really willing to trade their lives with Warfire Coins, it would be a decent deal indeed.
After all, in comparison to killing a few pig-headed humans for food, Warfire Coins were of greater value to Fang Hao.
“So, how much are you willing to pay to save your lives?” Fang Hao continued to probe.
Parker, noticing that Fang Hao was easing up, ca to his senses.
He replied, “Sir, we’re from a small village. We don’t have many Warfire Coins. We could probably scrape together a hundred. All of it can be yours.”
Fang Hao mulled it over. Over a hundred Warfire Coins was a fair deal.
With so more coms added from his treasure chest, it should be enough to purchase goods from the skeleton rchant during his next visit.
If the other party was willing to pay compensation, he didn’t have to kill them just yet.
Alright, I agree. But how can I be certain you won’t take off and never return?” Fang Hao inquired further.
“Sir, our old commander was injured on the leg during the journey and can’t move around much. We can leave him here while we go to fetch the money. Once you have the money, we’ll take our commander and leave,” Parker hastily offered.???????????????????????? ’
He then rolled back the tarpaulin atop the last of the carts.
On the cart laden with pelts, lay a weakened pig-headed human, his leg wrapped in bandages, still oozing with blood.
Fang Hao rose, examining the pelts on the carts before approaching the injured pig-headed man.
“You must be their forr commander?” Fang Hao asked.
The pig-headed human was evidently weak but managed to respond, “Yes, I am.”
“Are you willing to stay here, waiting for them to ransom you?” Fang Hao inquired.
Before the injured man could respond, Parker eagerly answered, “Captain Bolton, you’re injured and might delay us. We will co back for you as soon as we get the money.”
The injured man glanced at Parker and looked at the other pig-headed humans.
“Alright, I will stay here,” he finally said.
“Good, I agree to this. If you don’t bring the money by tomorrow morning, I will kill him and co after you in your village,” Fang Hao stated, not wanting to waste any more ti with them.
Yes, yes! Sir, we will leave now and return with your money,” Parker, his huge
head bobbing like a tambourine, responded.
“Off you go, and rember the ti I set,” Fang Hao stated.
“Alright.”
Parker didn’t hesitate any longer, and along with the other pig-headed humans, left swiftly.
They reached a considerable distance before greedily eyeing the goods discarded within the territory.
There were carpets, portraits, furniture and the rare Nightstone among them.
All these superior goods were left out in the open by that human kid.
The pig-headed humans gradually moved further away.
“Captain, are we really going back to fetch the money? Won’t Captain Bolton be killed? One pig-headed human ca closer, questioning with dissatisfaction.
A sharp glare flashed across Parker’s eyes as he said in a rciless tone, “I am now the captain, and this matter isn’t over. Tonight, we’re going to retrieve everything we’ve lost, and then so.”
The hasty compensation promise was rely a life-saving tactic.
A true orc warrior will never relinquish his goals just because of a temporary setback.
As for Bolton, the left-behind forr commander…
He scoffed.
How could he, Parker, secure the position of captain if Bolton was still breathing?
Bolton’s death, seemingly instigated by humans, would suit his purpose perfectly.
“Hide in the forest till nightfall. Well take everything back, with interest,” Parker instructed.
“Alright.”
The pig-headed humans echoed in unison and sprung into action.
On the other side,
Fang Hao studied the pig-headed human left behind.
He summoned twenty skeleton soldiers, instructing them, “Watch him. If he
gets near the warehouse or attempts to leave, kill him.”
Then he returned to his territory and sat down on a bench.
The goods the pig-headed humans brought had added 120 units of iron and
1125 units of pelts to his supply.
These additional resources increased his total stockpile.
Without further delay, he began crafting iron pots.
On the way back, he promised to trade iron pots and axes he produced.
There were so spare axes in the warehouse, so he could put those up for sale directly. However, he needed to manufacture the iron pots.
[ioox effect triggered, successfully crafted iron pots*ioi.j
He sent private ssages to the two interested parties, listing the promised goods for transaction.
After returning to his bedroom for a sip of water, he proceeded to develop the territory.
His recent experience with the ancient castle,
Had filled many gaps in the upgrade materials. Now he had enough Shadowstones to elevate the level of the Burial Grounds.
[Level 2 Burial Grounds: Wood 500, Stone 720, Leather 80, Hemp Rope 120, Shadowstone 5.]
Shadowstones were truly scarce.
Based on Fang Hao’s preliminary understanding, Shadowstones only appeared in places where people were buried, indirectly hampering the developnt of the territory.
Without giving it a second thought.
Fang Hao imdiately chose to upgrade.
Under the flickering of light, the upgrade of the Burial Grounds was completed.
[Level 2 Burial Grounds]
[Recruitnt Available: Skeleton Soldiers]
[Skeleton Soldier: Wriggling Spine*!.]
(Note: The corresponding army soldiers of the territory can be recruited in this building. Upgrading the building can unlock new soldier types and higher-level soldiers.)
[Required Materials for Upgrade: Wood 700, Stone 1200, Leather 120, Hemp
Rope 300, Shadowstone 8.]
After upgrading, Fang Hao was left with 13 Shadowstones.
That was exactly what he needed for another upgrade.
He chose to upgrade again.
Once again, the Burial Grounds was bathed in light.
A few seconds later, the upgrade was completed.
[Level 3 Burial Grounds]
[Recruitnt Available: Skeleton Soldiers/Skeleton Spearn]
[Skeleton Soldier: Wriggling Spine*!.]
(Note: The corresponding army soldiers of the territory can be recruited in this building. Upgrading the building can unlock new soldier types and higher-level soldiers.)
[Required Materials for Upgrade: Wood 1700, Stone 2200, Leather 350, Hemp
Rope 500, Shadowstone 12.]
“Great!”
Upon seeing the newly added Skeleton Spearn to the recruitnt list, Fang Hao couldn’t help but feel delighted.
First, he decided to recruit one to check its attributes.
[Do you want to use 1 Wriggling Spine to recruit Skeleton Spearman?]
Recruit!
[ioox effect triggered, successfully recruited Skeleton Spearn*101..]
