Right.

Today is a compulsory mission, and all the Lords are defending their own

territories.

The people here were captured by the orcs, leaving their territories deserted and available for the enemy’s plunder.

The destruction is understandable.

If today wasn’t a compulsory mission, the territory would remain even if the resources were stripped empty.

He’s currently under God’s Presence on the Skeleton, temporarily unable to swallow.

He could only consume this Book of Lords after returning.

“Bury them near here, I hope when you wake up, it’s only a dream.” Fang Hao whispered.

Life is so fragile. In this world, no one can assure their own survival.

Fang Hao doesn’t lack common skeletons.

These few bodies of his fellow villagers will not be transformed, at least they

will be laid to rest.

A few skeleton soldiers stepped forward, collected the human heads scattered around, and buried them nearby with their bodies.

The skeletons began to scatter to clean up the battlefield.

The clean-up method of Fang Hao’s camp is somewhat more complex.

In addition to collecting loot and weapons, they also need to collect complete corpses.

It’s not about bringing back the organs, but the limbs must be intact. The fallen skulls and limbs have to be collected and put onto the wagon to be taken back to the territory.

Wagons full of corpses tied tightly with hemp rope were still horrifying. “My Lord, judging by the clothing, this man was the leader of this army,” Fireblade’s gaze fell on the body in front of him.

The body in front of him was clearly different from the normal orc attire, with more sophisticated equipment, clearly a leader in the army.

“Let Scholar Nelson identify it, confirm the identity, and transform it into a

Skeleton Hero.”

“Understood,” Fireblade replied.

“Good, collect the spoils of war and let’s head home.”

“Yes, my Lord.”

In the center of the Undead Army, carriages full of corpses were huddled.

Thick fresh blood dripped along the carriage, leaving dark brown trails.

The army followed the road, heading towards the territory.

God’s Presence was removed.

Fang Hao woke up from the bed in the room.

Coming out of the room, he saw Eira and several rabbit-clan maids gathered in the hall.

Seeing Fang Hao’s face filled with leisure, everyone showed a joyful expression without a doubt – his side had won the war.

“Master, shall we prepare a more lavish dinner?” Eira asked in a low voice. “No need, we’ll go back after dealing with things here,” Fang Hao said.

Even now, there weren’t many living creatures in the territory.

The orcs forced onto the battlefield by him probably wouldn’t be able to enjoy a victory feast.

It might be better to return to the main city and have a simple but nice meal with a few of them.

“Oh, okay, Master.” Eira obediently nodded.

Soon, the large team returned to the city.

The convoy carrying bodies didn’t stop, and directly transported the bodies to the main city for transformation along the road.

Besides the bodies and equipment of the 300,000 orc army.

The greater gain was the Wriggling Spine.

To cope with this battle, Fang Hao had exhausted all his resources.

Only to amass this nearly 800,000-strong Undead Army.

But the victor was Fang Hao, his power would snowball, growing to a horrifying extent.

[Acquired: Wriggling Spine 115782.]

110,000 spines.

Fang Hao looked at this number and nearly laughed out loud. Nevermind whether the Skullcrusher Tribe will counterattack or not, Fang Hao is considering a preemptive strike once he has gathered sufficient intelligence and the timing is right.

He could wipe out the Skullcrusher Tribe completely and neutralize any potential threat.

“My lord, your book.” Fireblade hands the acquired Book of Lords to Fang Hao.

“Hmm.” Fang Hao takes it.

As soon as the Book of Lords is in his hand, a notification for possible absorption appears.

[The Book of Lords (Level 3) can be absorbed.]

Following that, the Book of Lords in his hand turns into a ray of light and merges into Fang Hao’s Book of Lords.

[Absorption successful. Your current Book of Lords is Level 4, with 4/6 progress needed to level up.]

Two days ago, when Li Teng was killed, the Book of Lords was only Level 2, with 1/4 progress needed to level up.

After absorption, it immediately reached Level 4, with 4/6 progress needed for the next level upgrade.

Fang Hao wonders how many humans the Orc captured along the way. Definitely, more than the 6 he saw, perhaps more.

[Upon reaching Level 4, Marching Speed increases by 3%, Resource Gathering by 4%, daily limit of regional channel messages increases by 30.]

All attributes increase again after reaching Level 4- Even the daily limit of regional channel messages increased by 30. This would make it easy to engage in verbal arguments without fear.

His opponents would run out of messages while he can still reply.

Such a pity for these people’s territories and resources. Otherwise, Fang Hao’s domain could have expanded significantly.

[Blueprints unlocked: Target Range Construction, Leather Boot Crafting, Kitchen Knife Crafting. ]

There’s even a blueprint for constructing a target range.

-My lord, I heard you are leaving soon?” At this point, Bronze Bull comes over. He’s wrapped in bandages in several places, apparently injured in the recent battle.

“Tellock, you’re right on time. I was just thinking about discussing the situation here with you.” Fang Hao invites him in for a chat.

The two of them go into the main hall and sit down on the chairs.

Two Rabbit Clan maids bring them plain water.

Unlike the main city, where there are fruit wines, only water is available here. “Tellock, we wiped out 300,000 Skullcrusher troops. What do you think the Skullcrusher Tribe will do in response?” Fang Hao cuts straight to the chase. Among Fang Hao’s commanders, probably only Bronze Bull is qualified to comment on the Skullcrusher Tribe.

Being an Orc himself, he used to maintain private contacts with them.

Without hesitation, Bronze Bull immediately replies, “My lord, I think you are overestimating the Skullcrusher Tribe. If they had won this war, they would have used the captured cities as a base to absorb neighboring tribes and grow stronger. But having lost and 300,000 of their troops dead, they’re severely crippled. I suspect there may even be internal disputes within the tribe. Bronze Bull’s point is simple. It’s the Skullcrusher Tribe, not Fang Hao, who should be worried.

Once they learn about the massacre, troubles could surface within their own tribe.

“You’re saying, it’s unlikely they will launch another attack in the short term? Fang Hao is having trouble understanding the situation of the local forces. He can rely on the Wriggling Spine, together with a hundred-fold increase, to recruit massive armies.

But for other forces, it’s challenging to amass and maintain armies.

A 300,000-strong army being wiped out without a single soldier escaping – such a calamity would cause chaos even in a country.

Thinking of launching another expedition and gathering another 300,000 troops could be a problem.

“I’m not sure about the situation in the Coldwind Mountain Range, but they definitely won’t send troops in the short term,” Bronze Bull states confidently.

Fang Hao rubs his brows, deep in thought.

He doesn’t know the Coldwind Mountain Range, and they don’t know him either.

The Skullcrusher Tribe thought Fang Hao only had a 50,000-strong undead army, so they dispatched a 300,000-strong force to annihilate him. Then, they would use the momentum to unify all local Orc tribes.

But unexpectedly, Fang Hao used even bigger forces and slaughtered all 300,000 of their troops.

Now, what Fang Hao lacks is information about the enemy.”

Whether it’s the road, the enemy’s strength, the distribution of various tribes, or the consideration to launch a counterattack, everything needs to be taken into account.

Fang Hao’s White Bone Army can directly confront the enemy, utilizing their terrifying numerical advantage.

But once his forces are dispatched to raid the Skullcrusher Tribe and spread out into the Coldwind Mountain Range, problems can easily arise.

His advantage is like a snowball rolling, he cannot lose, he can only win. “is there any way to get information about the Skullcrusher Tribe? Can we send some Orcs or buy out some Orcs from the Skullcrusher Tribe?”
