Translator: 549690339
Fang Hao deactivated his God’s Presence mode and sat up in bed.
He walked straight out of the lord’s cabin.
The existence of more than 50 seventh-tier troops was unexpected for Fang Hao.
No wonder there were no tribes near the ogre base.
They must have either been annihilated long ago.
Ending up as food in the bellies of the ogres.
Even Fang Hao felt so hesitation at this point.
Destroying the ogre base would result in heavy casualties.
It was uncertain whether this was worthwhile.
Just as Fang Hao was deep in thought, a worker skeleton walked by him, carrying in its hands newly-finished iron castings.
Seeing the iron castings, a light bulb seed to go off in his head.
That’s right, he still had the newly-acquired equipnt blueprint.
Once all the troops upgrade their equipnt and increase their defense, heavy losses may not necessarily be incurred.
With this thought in mind, Fang Hao’s confidence surged once again, and he decided to face off against these ogres.
He checked the manufacturing column.
He had received three types of new equipnt blueprints.
[Plate Armor (green), Arm Bracers (green), Small Iron Round Shield (green).]
A total of three green-level blueprints.
The blueprints for the plate armor and arm bracers were obtained from the Bronze Bull.
Since he previously did not have any iron plate blueprints, he didn’t upgrade the equipnt.
In the chest he obtained from attacking the mine yesterday, he got blueprints for a small iron round shield and ferrous tal production.
[Plate Armor: 12 leather, 6 iron, 4 iron plates.]
[Arm Bracers: 5 leather, 3 iron, 2 iron plates.]
[Small Iron Round Shield: 12 wood, 5 tal parts, 2 iron plates.]
The skeleton soldiers responsible for territorial security numbered 54,000, and were assigned to patrol the area around the territory.
Moreover, Fang Hao still had 18,867 Wriggling Spines unused.
If Fang Hao desired, he could summon a sea of undead to wipe out all enemies.
Of course, up to now, there hasn’t been a need to use all the wriggling spines. For the ti being, he would equip the 54,000 skeleton soldiers.
He would produce 60,000 sets of equipnt, including for the troops stationed at Pign Village and Shadowwind Castle.
There were 174 iron casts in the warehouse.
He would start by producing iron plates.
[Iron Plate: 2 iron casts.]
All were made, totaling 87.
[Hundred-fold Enlargent triggered, obtained 8,787 iron plates.]
Materials were sufficient, so he proceeded with equipnt production.
He set the production number for Plate Armor, Arm Bracers, and Small Iron Round Shield to 600 each.
[Hundred-fold Enlargent triggered, obtained 60,600 Plate Armors.]
[Hundred-fold Enlargent triggered, obtained 60,600 Arm Bracers.]
[Hundred-fold Enlargent triggered, obtained 60,600 Small Iron Round Shields.]
In an instant, nurous green lights appeared in the territory, making it appear as if the sky was falling.
Piles of equipnt filled every corner around Fang Hao.
The quantities were much larger than those obtained from any prior enlargent.
Even Eira, who was in the cabin, heard the sound of iron armor clashing, and she peekily looked out to investigate.
Fang Hao casually picked up so of the equipnt to inspect it.
The plate armor and arm bracers were leather armor wrapped in iron plating to improve their defensive properties.
The small iron round shield was a wooden shield covered with iron plating.
In short, the addition of these three pieces of equipnt, increased the overall defense of the soldiers by more than double.
This would allow them to exert greater combat power in battle.
Once equipnt production was complete, Fang Hao activated God’s Presence again, took possession of a skeleton cavalry, and gathered all the soldiers nearby to upgrade their equipnt.
After all the soldiers had changed their equipnt, Fang Hao imdiately set out an army of 30,000 infantry, and 2,000 skeleton warriors ard with light crossbows, for a total force of 32,000.
Fang Hao returned to his room and used God’s Presence to possess a skeleton soldier.
Leading an army of ten thousand, they marched imposingly away from their territory, heading for the ogre stronghold.
Three hours later.
As the troops approached the stronghold, the frequently appearing nomadic animals were nowhere to be seen.
Aside from the rustling of the leaves when the breeze blew, not a hint of bird song or insect chirp could be heard.
“These ogres really are not to be trifled with. Even the birds dare not to approach.” Fang Hao looked around and muttered softly.
Indeed it was so.
Rank 7, was the highest rank of soldier Fang Hao had encountered since crossing over.
Neither the Orc Tribe nor the common Tauren warriors at Manim Market had reached this level.
Add to this the brutal and gluttonous nature of the ogres, turning the surrounding area into an isolated zone without any beasts or villages.
The team continued to advance quickly, the iron armor of the soldiers clinking with friction.
Soon, they had advanced to a position not far from the stronghold.
The scale of the army, tens of thousands strong, also drew the attention of the ogres.
They rose from the ground one by one, huge clubs in hand.
Amidst their roars, more than 50 colossal ogres launched an attack.
The earth shook, leaves scattered in all directions.
“Archers, fire at will!” Fang Hao commanded loudly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
Dense iron arrows whistled out, yet the ogres blocked their heads with their massive arms, their footsteps never hesitating for a mont.
Several ogres were promptly riddled with arrowheads, and blood flowed from their bodies and arms.
When the ogres were still five hundred ters away, Fang Hao issued the command for a full attack.
“Everyone attack, kill them all.”
At the sa ti, Fang Hao blew the War Horn.
Circle after circle of faint ripples enveloped all the skeleton soldiers, amplifying their movent speed and attacks.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!!
The thirty-thousand-strong skeleton corps mobilized.
Their footsteps gradually quickened, and finally, they were running full tilt, charging towards the oncoming ogres.
Boom!!
A loud crash.
The skeleton soldier in the lead was hit by the ogre’s massive club.
Like a kite with its string cut, it flew backwards, landing beside Fang Hao.
Fang Hao looked at the skeleton in front of him, which was still wobbling in an attempt to stand up again.
Its plate armor, however, had already caved in, forming an eye-catching dent.
The skeleton soldier seed to have not suffered much damage, he shook his head, paused for two seconds, and then continued to attack the ogre.
It seed that the plate armor played a significant role.
If it was still wearing the previous simple leather armor, this skeleton, when hit, would definitely be crushed to pieces.
Boom, boom, boom!!
With each swing of their clubs, a number of skeleton soldiers were sent flying, crushed to pieces.
But the number of skeleton soldiers was like a swarm of locusts in a plague, fearlessly charging and attacking the target in front of them.
Fang Hao didn’t just watch the battle, he unsheathed his iron sword and joined the lee.
Splat, splat!!
The skeleton soldiers desperately swung their weapons, but the ogres had thick skin and dense flesh. Although they were only wearing a covering cloth, it was difficult to inflict lethal damage on them.
In contrast, with each swing of the ogre’s wooden club, several skeletons were sent flying and crushed into piles of broken bones.
Fang Hao slid forward, dodging to the side of an ogre.
With two quick slashes, he left two cut marks on the ogre’s sturdy, hairy thigh.
“This won’t work, going on like this.”
Seeing that the battle turning into a tug-of-war, Fang Hao began to consider other strategies.
At that mont, the ogre’s covering cloth caught Fang Hao’s attention.
Then, he revealed a cold smirk.
“You may have thick skin, but I don’t believe ‘it’ is as thick.”
Before his words fell, Fang Hao thrust his sword towards the ogre’s groin..
