Domina did not refuse, but she exhibited a dissenting attitude in her words. Regardless of whether they’re spider-kin or giant spiders.
They are good at web-weaving in dark mines, not adept at mining ores. Ordinary giant spider hatchlings can only weave webs; they cannot mine ores. The spider archers and spider warriors both have huge spider lower bodies and swollen bellies.
It’s challenging for them to move in the mines, and they are not suitable for mining either.
Moreover, the number of spider soldiers is not high. It’s impossible to assign all of them to work in the mines.
Fang Hao shook his head and said, “Don’t worry about that. I will arrange for miners to do the mining work, but the security of the mining area, the transportation of the ores, and the maintenance of the equipment all need to be handled by you.”
This plan has been proven to work with the pig-headed humans.
The skeleton laborers carry out the ore mining, while the pig-headed humans manage the rest of the work.
Living creatures, not as efficient as their skeleton laborers.
“Oh, no problem, you can bring the miners then. I can arrange for their food and accommodation.” Domina breathed a sigh of relief.
But providing food and lodging.
Skeletons did not need to eat or rest.
Of course, Fang Hao did not elaborate on this. When the skeleton labor arrives, Domina naturally understands.
“How did you guys get into a fight with the gnolls.” Fang Hao suddenly remembered the gnolls who were hanged outside the camp.
Since this place has become a subsidiary village, security still needs to be guaranteed.
“Ah!” Domina sighed lightly, explaining: “After reaching the tenth rank, I started preparing to become a hero. Because of my status, I prepared some gifts to be sent to the eastern city…”
Domina1 s story is straightforward.
Her identity is not recognized by the orcs, and she cannot use the Merit Training Ground normally.
Helplessly, she prepared generous gifts, intending to go to the orc city in the east to build relationships, to use the Merit Training Ground for the hero trial. It is uncertain whether the news leaked or it was just an unfortunate coincidence that she ran into the gnolls.
In the midst of transporting the gifts, a fight broke out between the two parties, and though her side prevailed.
The gnolls were like a stubborn patch of dog skin plaster, frequently coming to cause trouble.
Luckily, in the dense forest, the gnolls’ attacks never succeeded.
Instead, it provided the ‘Queen Giant Spider’ with food, which could increase the production of spider hatchlings.
“Aren’t you the ‘Queen Giant Spider’?” Fang Hao looked at Domina.
Domina was taken aback and said, “Of course not. That is the nest of the Queen Giant Spider. Once they start reproducing, they rarely leave the nest.” As she spoke, she stood up, pushed open the window, and pointed outside. Fang Hao followed the direction of her pointing.
There was a huge nest hanging there, in which a large green spider was coiled up.
It laid there, its size comparable to a tank parked there.
“Doesn’t it ever come out and move around?” Anjia asked on the side.
It does not move. It only comes out when it changes nest.”
“So all these little spiders, they were all born by her?” Lorrey also asked.
“Yes.”
“Will the little spiders grow that big?”
“No, there are very few Queen Giant Spiders. Only after the queen dies, will a new queen grow from the hatchlings and enter the nest.”
“Ahem, ahem!”
Seeing the topic divert, Fang Hao could only clear his throat softly.
When the three looked at him, Fang Hao continued, “How do you plan to deal with the gnolls?”
As for the gnolls, Fang Hao was not too concerned.
But if left unchecked, when these guys cause trouble in the mine and destroy
the established facilities, it would be a big problem.
“How about, are you willing to help?” Domina glanced at him.
“If your tone and attitude were softer, maybe I would help you solve this problem.” Fang Hao said.
This….
Domina hesitated for a moment, she was merely trying to ridicule him.
Even if they had signed a contract, she did not believe Fang Hao would be willing to help.
The contract is just to ensure the rights of the master, while the bound party is entirely passive.
Most of the time, the master wouldn’t care about the life or death of the slave and might even sell them off for a good price or use them as cannon fodder when the time is right.
She did not expect that Fang Hao would help her, only requesting her to have a more amiable tone.
“You,…”
Just as Domina was about to speak, a spider archer rushed in hurriedly. Yelling: “The gnolls have gathered outside the forest. There are over a thousand people, and they seem to be preparing to set a fire.” “What? Where did they all come from?” Domina’s expression tensed up immediately.
Regardless of the number, or setting fire in the forest.
For Domina and the others here, it’s an unfavorable situation.
Especially the fire, once it spreads, their homelands would be lost, and what’s the point of fighting the opponents then?
“It can’t be wrong; the number is only rising.” The spider-like archer spoke with determination.
Domina’s body trembled slightly.
Are they going to die here today?
Just when she didn’t know how to respond, she suddenly caught sight of Fang
Hao at her side. 5
Right, he did say that he would help.
Domina hurriedly went to Fang Hao, her spider-like body laying low on the ground, forehead on the floor, “Sir, please forgive my rudeness, and save me and my clan.”
Domina’s voice trembled, hinting at desperation.
The spider-like archer standing aside opened its mouth wide, surprised at the scene unfolding before it.
Their clan leader is actually begging like this.
It cast a covert look at the surroundings, thinking it would be too conspicuous to leave now.
It could only copy her, lowering itself onto the ground, its forehead on the floor.
“Fine, Domina, I agree to your request, but if you dare influence the tasks I assign with your personal emotions, I will kill you all the same.” Fang Hao’s voice was chillingly colder.
Domina’s body slightly trembled, “Yes! Sir, I see.”
‘All right, Domina, rise. Now take your people and assemble on the edge of the forest. Ashsparrow will tell you what to do next.” Fang Hao commanded.
Yes, I understand, sir.” Domina stood up and softly replied.
[The Spider Fateweaver Domina’s loyalty to you has increased by 10 points, current loyalty is 53.]
Huh?
What’s happening here?
She got a tirade from me and her loyalty increased by 10 points instead?
Don’t understand.
Domina left with the spider-like archer. Fang Hao also left the leader’s lair with
Anjia and Lorrey.
Exiting the Webweaver’s camp, the trio returned to where the Bone Dragon was parked.
They climbed onto the Bone Dragon and rose into the sky, flying toward the northern side of the dense forest.
From above, they could see the Gnolls gathering below.
There were more of them than expected.
Some Gnolls had already lit torches; it seemed they were really planning to set the forest ablaze.
Fang Hao lightly patted the Bone Dragon, “Prepare to unleash Dragon Breath.”
On an open ground outside the dense forest.
A huge number of Gnolls were assembling.
Their armor was untidy and disordered.
Iron armor, leather armor, and even some were just panels of wood strapped across their chests.
The weapons they were holding were also diverse, iron weapons, wooden clubs and many other types.
All gathered here, waiting for the next command from the Gnoll Clan Leader.
They and the spiders in the forest had been at it for over a week, both sides had taken casualties. But the Gnolls had lost their patience.
They planned a decisive attack to exterminate these hateful and ugly spiders.
Thump, thump, thump!
From behind the Gnolls.
Four Gnolls, lifting a wooden palanquin, came forward.
Reclining on the palanquin was a Gnoll, topless, wearing blue jeans.
“Clan Leader, those spiders have assembled. When do we start the fire?” A
Gnoll approached, asking obsequiously.
The Gnoll Clan Leader didn’t reply but instead placed a large gold bracelet near
his ear, listening to the ticking sound coming from it.
He let out a lazy glance at the dense forest in the front.
He said dismissively, “Take action; today, I want those damned spiders all dead here.”
“Yes, Clan Leader.” His subordinate acknowledged and passed on the order.
The Gnolls started to prepare.
The vanguard began to assemble, and the Gnolls at the back lit up the carts filled with dried grass and wood.
“Attack!”
Kill them!” The Gnolls roared, launching an attack towards the forest.
