Chapter 202: Chapter 202: The Flight Legion (Considering every 4000-word chapter as two separate chapters makes sense, doesn’t it?)”_1

Little You’s words caused Fang Hao to frown.
He didn’t expect that Little You, with her homebody personality, would actually want to participate in this battle.
The reason why Fang Hao didn’t assign her a task is because she just became a hero yesterday and isn’t very strong. The second reason is because of a series of tasks.
Little You is an Undead.
If an Undead dies, they completely disappear. There’s no turning their corpse
into an Undead again.
Little You is a hero that grows over time. After obtaining the Swords of Absolution, her upgrade rate increased. Once she collects all 12 weapons, she will at least become a purple hero.
Fang Hao didn’t really want her to take that risk.
Fang Hao asked in confusion, “Why the sudden urge to join the fight?”
“Sir, I want to hone myself in battle, I want to go to the battlefield.” Little You spoke seriously.
“Why the rush, how about I assign you a task next time?” Fang Hao was still a
bit worried.
Just becoming a hero and wanting to enter a high-pressure scenario seemed too dangerous, like getting a driver’s license and immediately wanting to drive on the highway.
Moreover, Little You’s skills lean more towards assassination, not having a major impact on the overall battle.
“Sir, I can sneak around in the darkness, even if I’m not on the battlefield, I can also gather the enemy’s information.” Little You spoke again.
It was clear that Little You was quite passionate about participating in this battle.
“Alright, since you insist, you can go to the city where the Fireblade is stationed. They’re dealing with the Skullcrusher Tribe, you know them well.” Fang Hao said after thinking for a bit.
Little You had previously infiltrated the Skullcrusher Tribe in the guise of a
Gnoll leader.
It’s safer therewith the Fireblade.
“Thankyou, Sir.” Little You gave her thanks and then turned to leave.
Watching Little You’s retreating figure, Fang Hao couldn’t help but call out a reminder, “Be careful, just learn from Fireblade, you don’t have to get involved in the fighting.”
“Got it, sir.” Little You responded, then left.
The next day, as the morning sun was just starting to shed light onto the earth,
Fang Hao was already up.
He first glanced at the Sound-transmitting Shell at his bedside, which hadn’t recorded any messages.
It also proved that the two defense lines had not been attacked by the enemy.
After a simple wash and breakfast, Fang Hao returned to his room to perform God’ s Presence to check on the two territories.
First, he arrived at the city where Fireblade was stationed.
Soul Fire rose in the eyes of a skeleton warrior, and in an instant, he was in the city where Fireblade was situated.
A dense crowd of skeletons, standing in neat rows like a terracotta army, stretched as far as the eye could see.
Fang Hao left the crowd of skeletons and went straight to the city lord s mansion.
Both Fireblade and the Bronze Bull were present. Seeing the skeleton, whose eyes were illuminated by Soul Fire, they guessed Fang Hao’s identity.
“City Lord.” The two quickly rose to pay their respects.
“Hmm, Tellock, how are you managing the Manim Market?” Fang Hao asked as he took his seat.
The Manim Market had always been open to the public.
This time, the Skullcrusher’s attack may be an act of retaliation against the Manim Market, so some defensive measures should be taken as soon as possible.
“Sir, the market has been closed, and the civilians of the Tauren Clan have been relocated to the back of the battlefield. It’s safe.” The Bronze Bull replied.
The Bronze Bull was more invested in the affairs of his own people.
Upon receiving news of the Skullcrusher’s second expedition, he immediately shut down the market and all the clan members were relocated to a safe area.
Even if this battle was lost, there would still be time to retreat to a more distant place.
Of course, after seeing the million-strong Undead army mobilized last night, the Bronze Bull dismissed any doubts about failing.
Instead, he started contemplating whether they should counter-attack the Cold Wind Mountains after their victory and eliminate this threat once and for all. “Hmm.” Fang Hao nodded, then continued, “The Skullcrushers have teamed up with the Bloodthroat Tribe, which might cause the battlefield to become fragmented. You two will be in charge here, with Fireblade leading the overall deployment.”
Fireblade will still be the one in charge of the battlefield.
Even though the Bronze Bull was a purple hero and overall stronger,
loyalty was still something that Fang Hao valued.
Fireblade was 100% loyal, absolutely loyal to Fang Hao and the territory, the Bronze Bull was also highly loyal, but not enough for Fang Hao to hand over the overall command to him.
It wasn’t that he was afraid the Bronze Bull would betray him, but the fact that racial factors could influence decisions.
Fireblade would prioritize Fang Hao’s safety and the territory’s first.
But the Bronze Bull, when making decisions, would take into account the safety of his own race and whether the loss of the Tauren army would increase.
Handing over the deployment to Fireblade would be more prudential.
“Yes, sir.” The two responded.
The three of them continued discussing defense and deployment, and what to do after victory.
A Bone Dragon landed directly in the open area in front of the city lord’s mansion.
Zhang Bin, along with a few of his human followers, arrived looking a little spooked.
“Boss?” Zhang Bin asked tentatively.
“Yes, Zhang Bin, this place will defend against the orc army’s attack, you’ll stay.” Fang Hao answered.
Upon hearing this, a cold sweat instantly broke out on Zhang Bin.
He had led the Iron Claw Rats to dig traps yesterday, and had guessed that there was going to be a war.
But today, he was sent directly to the front line, and his heart was immediately filled with anxiety.
“B- Boss, I can organize people to distribute fliers, but organizing an army… I’m not cut out for it.” Zhang Bin spoke tremulously.
Organizing battles and developing cities were fundamentally different.
In city development, you could feel your way around, but in war, the slightest mistake could be fatal and there would be no opportunity for regret.
