Even under Fang Hao’s protection, Zhang Bin was still working hard.
Back on Earth, he was a salesman.
Upon arriving in this world and becoming a city lord, it was as if he had found his niche.
With all the oratory skills he had acquired in his lifeti, he persistently persuaded neighboring towns and villages to beco his affiliated villages. The villagers were honest and simple, and they needed soone powerful to depend on-soone who could help them get rid of the wild beasts and the bandits who often ca down from the mountains.
Thus, one by one, they agreed to his proposition.
Zhang Bin’s city now had the most affiliated villages among all the cities owned by transmigrators.
One day when Fang Hao ca by to visit, Zhang Bin opened up about the difficulties he was facing.
^Let’s go, take to see so of the nearby villages,” Fang Hao said, standing
“Alright, I will arrange for our transportation imdiately,” Zhang Bin responded.
Soon enough, Zhang Bin, accompanied by Fang Hao and a few soldiers, left the city on horseback.
The group headed towards nearby villages.
“There have been incidents involving the capture of transmigrators lately. Be careful when you go out,” Fang Hao said casually to Zhang Bin as he held the reins.
“Capture transmigrators?” Zhang Bin was slightly taken aback.
The term ‘transmigrators’ was likely unheard of by the indigenous people.
“Yes, in Lyss City, I t a man nad Ren Jun, who happened to be one of the survivors,” Fang Hao began, recounting the basic events concerning Ren Jun and the Faceless Cottage.
It wasn’t certain whether the Faceless Cottage was the one behind it all, or whether soone had bought the information.
This could have led to the Faceless Cottage capturing and torturing transmigrators.
Either way, it was better to be cautious.
Hearing that people had died, Zhang Bin’s expression imdiately darkened. Living in this world was hard for everyone, and now with an intelligence organization prying into the secrets of transmigrators, it made him nervous. It seed that even their fellow human beings were rejecting them. After more than an hour, the group arrived at a village. It was the village closest to Zhang Bin’s city.
Ahead of them was a wooden wall surrounding the village. Outside, there were vast fields.
In the fields, villagers dressed characteristically were hard at work.
“Lord City Master, what brings you here?” An old man quickly ca out from the village, looking thrilled.
“Just ca to see how everyone is doing. Do you need anything in the village?
How’s life treating everyone?” Zhang Bin asked with a smile.
Zhang Bin asked these questions with a smile but didn’t ntion Fang Hao.
This was part of their agreent.
Fang Hao didn’t need to be introduced. His role was just to observe.
“All’s well, nothing lacking in particular. Lots of goodwill on your part,” the village head welcod them into the village.
Turning to Zhang Bin, the village head said, “My daughter isn’t that young anymore. She’s been talking a lot about you lately, wondering why you haven’t co by. She’s been down in the dumps.”
“Oh? Well, I’ve been pretty busy lately.” Zhang Bin’s face went red imdiately. He threw a quick glance at Fang Hao and laughed awkwardly. After hanging around the village for a while, they moved on.
They visited three other villages and returned to the city in the afternoon.
Fang Hao then went directly to the Heavy Sword Infantry Training Ground to recruit soldiers.
“Heavy Sword Infantry: 4 Soul Crystals, 20 Food.”
Recruitnt count: 20.
Triggering Hundredfold Amplification, recruiting 2020 Heavy Sword Infantry.”
A light appeared, as two thousand hefty heavy sword infantry n stood before Fang Hao.
“Greetings, sire,” they saluted in unison.
“Alright, you will be under City Lord Zhang Bin’s command from now on,” Fang Hao instructed.
The heavy sword infantry turned their gaze towards Zhang Bin, saluting once again, “City Lord.”
“Alright, you guys go to the warehouse and get your equipnt. I’ll assign you your tasks later,” Zhang Bin told them.
“Yes, sir.”
After the heavy sword infantry left, Fang Hao continued to the Archery Range to recruit archers.
“Militia Archer: 2 Soul Crystals, 10 Food.”
Recruitnt count: 20.
Triggering Hundredfold Amplification, recruiting 2020 Militia Archers.” Soon, another group of two thousand archers appeared in front of Fang Hao. As before, they were handed over to Zhang Bin for managent. With all matters dealt with, they returned to the City Lord Hall. “I will get the Orcs to co over later to pave the roads for you, so don’t worry about that, “Fang Hao said.
Zhang Bin’s face brightened, “Thankyou, Boss.”
“Right, when the food you ‘ve prepared is ready, arrange for it to be sent directly to the Windy Mountain Range. The demand over there is still quite big.”
The Windy Mountain Range used to trade the ores they mined for food and daily necessities.
Fang Hao has been in control of the Windy Mountain Range for a month now. Initially, the food was bought from the grain rchants of Pruell City and transported to the Windy Mountain Range.
Now that Zhang Bin’s production has stabilized, and Tavek has beco the City Lord of Pruell City.
Gradually, their own production began to et the food needs of the Windy Mountain Range.
But the cooperation with the grain rchant continues.
“Got it, Boss,” Zhang Bin confird confidently.
“Also, co up with a way to make the villagers accept the Undead. They can
help with developnt.”
Oh, alright. I’ll think of sothing.”
After chatting with Zhang Bin for a while and handling all the matters.
Fang Hao returned to his territory on the Bone Dragon with Anjia.
After dinner, as night fell.
Eira assisted him into the hot springs, and he enjoyed the enveloping warmth.
Ding!
At that mont, a private chat notification from the Book of Lords appeared.
Opening it revealed a ssage sent by Gao Lin.
This was already the fifth person nad Gao Lin that contacted him today.
The previous few were all frauds.
Fang Hao, bro, I know Ren Jun. Did sothing happen?”
“Ren Jun said he sent you so pictures before. Could you send them to ?”
Fang Hao asked, testing the waters.
It still wasn’t clear whether this person was the Gao Lin he was looking for. “Yes, here they are, [picture][picture][picture]. Is Ren Jun still alive?” Gao Lin quickly sent the pictures and asked.
Fang Hao opened them one by one, revealing a dim room with a figure wearing
a hooded mask.
The pictures were real, but all the faces were covered, making it impossible to identify anyone.
It seed this person was authentic.
“He’s alive, his Book of Lords was stolen, but he’s fine,” Fang Hao replied.
“Oh, thank you, bro.”
“Sure.”
The two shared a couple of simple sentences before the conversation ended.
Fang Hao magnified each of the three pictures, carefully inspecting the details. Hopefully, he could find so clue that would lead to a breakthrough.
Even knowing which direction to go for further investigation would be a good start.
Suddenly.
Fang Hao’s eyes widened as he quickly enlarged the second picture.
The pixel quality of the Book of Lords was excellent.
Even after enlarging it dozens of tis, it remained clear.
In the lower right corner of the image, there sat a man carrying items.
Clad in a black robe with a mask on, what caught Fang Hao’s attention was the piece of skin that peeked out between the collar and the mask as the man bent down to pick sothing up.
The skin was twisted and knotted, likely scars or disfigurents from an injury.
This reminded Fang Hao of one character.
Lai Gou!
The strong man who had stord into the tavern in Lyss City and beaten up the gamblers, he had the sa type of scars on his left face and neck.
After thinking for a while, Fang Hao said to Eira, “Go and get Little You.”
“Yes, Master,” answered Eira, and she walked out.
A mont later.
The shadows nearby started to squirm, and Little You’s figure gradually appeared. y
“Master, you called for ?”
Shit!
Fang Hao jumped in surprise.
He glared at Little You, “Little You, could you maybe use the door next ti?” “Oh, okay, Master,” Little You replied softly, seemingly not taking the advice to heart.
Little You, the reason I called you is to assign you a task.”
Little You’s eyes lit up, “Yes, Master. Please instruct.”
“Go to Lyss City and capture a man for . I want him alive.”
