Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 237, The Trouble in the Village_l

Translator: 549690339

After the recent test, Fang Hao had figured out the operation method of the

Demon Space.

He couldn’t store items away in the void simply by thought; he needed to touch them.

This point is quite consistent with the characteristics of the Book of Lords, whether it’s devouring another person’s Book of Lords or recording scrolls, they can only be achieved through physical touch.

The method for storing items was exactly the same.

The storage space didn’t specify its size.

However, based on the wooden table he put in, he could roughly infer that it was a rectangular space that was about five meters long and four meters wide.

It was somewhat similar to the space where he put the desk in the Demon Stone cave earlier, and the dimensions were also not far off.

In short, it was a small room of about 20 square meters, with a height of nearly

3 meters.

He could arrange what he wanted to store in there.

But living creatures and troops could not be stored inside.

If it were possible to do so, using this feature for kidnapping would be very convenient.

“My Lord, the defense has been arranged, and 100,000 troops will be left here under Terry’s command,” Demitrija walked over and said.

Terry followed behind her and promised at the same time: “Rest assured, my lord, I will definitely guard the fortress well.”

“Well, I believe in you, Terry,” said Fang Hao.

Having assigned all tasks, Fang Hao and the others began to return to their territory.

The sky was not yet dark, but it was about three or four o’clock in the afternoon. Considering the journey back, it would probably be dinner time.

When they returned to the main city, Eira had already prepared dinner.

As they sat together eating, Anjia was still passionately recounting the scenes of their epic battle with the Mud Monster.

The scene was magnificent, almost like a battle between immortals.

Fang Hao widened his eyes. If he hadn’t been there at the time, he would have almost believed that she battled the Mud Monster for so many rounds.

Demitrija, on the other hand, was silent.

She didn’t expose Anjia, instead, she seemed to enjoy listening.

Ding!

At this moment, a private chat notification sounded from the Book of Lords.

When he opened it, it was a message from Zhang Bin.

They now have a ‘territory channel’. Chatting within the channel does not consume chat counts.

However, both Zhang Bin and Fu Lei still used private chat when discussing management matters of the city with Fang Hao.

Of course, this was a good thing, it still maintained the secrecy of each city within the territory.

“Boss, I negotiated with two affiliated villages today,” Zhang Bin said.

The inclusion of the Frost Wind Mountains had made the food supply in the territory suddenly tense.

After enquiring Shaman Clyde, according to Clyde’s words, each tribe had enough reserved food to last a month.

If they did not provide them with food within a month, the Frost Wind Mountains would revert back to its original state of infighting, with tribes robbing food from one another.

Fang Hao had his eyes on the mineral resources of the Frost Wind Mountains and had promised to provide them with food.

So he would do his best to honor that.

He had already asked the merchant Tavek to contact food traders and at the same time, Zhang Bin was also scurrying around for food, doing his best to recruit affiliated villages.

“You did well,” Fang Hao praised him, but he didn’t have anything to reward him with.

“Hehe, thank you, boss,” continued Zhang Bin. “Oh, by the way, boss, I promised to station troops in the village, but the number of troops in the city is not enough.”

This was the issue Zhang Bin was concerned about.

They were short of troops, and Fang Hao had not given him the authority to recruit.

“Oh, alright. I’ll go over tomorrow morning and recruit some troops for you, and also swap out the equipment,” Fang Hao replied.

The types of troops available in Zhang Bin’s territory were quite singular.

He could only recruit Militia and Heavy Sword Infantry.

The city’s co-defense could use the Undead troops that Fang Hao had left for him.

But those stationed in the affiliated villages couldn’t use Undead troops.

That would easily cause panic.

If you accepted a village as an affiliate today, then stationed some undead there, the next day the village might be empty.

All the villagers had run away. That would be a problem.

So, what was needed was for troops of the human faction to be stationed there.

Fang Hao’s blueprint transformed into an Undead blueprint, making it impossible for Zhang Bin to unlock and construct.

“Alright, I won’t disturb your rest then,” Zhang Bin politely said.

“Hmm, you should rest early as well. Your health is the most valuable capital,” replied Fang Hao.

“Understood, boss,” Zhang Bin affirmed.

Ending the chat with Zhang Bin, Fang Hao continued his meal.

Listening to another one of Anjia’s stories, seemingly about her childhood fights with the children from the Orc Clan…

The next day.

After breakfast, Fang Hao rode the Bone Dragon to recruit some heavy sword infantry for Zhang Bin.

They were to be stationed in the affiliated village, to strengthen its defenses. Upon his return, Fang Hao continued his inspection throughout the land. Looking to see whether there were any places that needed his attention. Everyone was busy with their own tasks, whether it was the skeleton craftsmen or the skeleton merchant Doujin.

Each fulfilling their own duty.

After his round, Fang Hao began to prepare his plan for the day.

In his hand, he still held the map accepted from the tavern. It marked the location of a village.

The [Demon’s Book Fragment] from yesterday gave Fang Hao a pleasant surprise.

He hoped that today’s village would provide another decent reward.

Summoning Anjia and Dimitrija, they set off immediately.

Upon stopping at the fortress, they enlisted 10 heavy sword infantry, and continued towards their destination.

The village was located to the west of Pruell City.

The road was somewhat indirect, even without any burdens, it still took nearly an hour to reach.

From a distance, the outline of the village was visible.

Villagers were coming in and out of the village gate, and there were even guards standing watch on the city wall.

It somewhat resembled a small mountain stronghold.

The guards on duty became alert upon spotting Fang Hao’s party.

The village gate slammed shut immediately, and more guards climbed onto the city wall.

“It seems like we’re not very welcome,” Fang Hao quietly remarked upon seeing the situation.

“They’ve even set their arrows. It’s more than just unwelcome,” Anjia glanced at the people on the wall.

At this point, more and more people gathered on the defensive wall until a burly man wearing heavy armor stepped forward.

His gaze swept over Fang Hao’s party, which was out of their shooting range. “Who are you?” someone on the defensive wall shouted.

“Tell them we received a reward notice in the village. Apparently, there s trouble here and we’ve come to help,” Fang Hao instructed.

A heavy sword infantry soldier stepped forward and loudly proclaimed, “There’s no need to be tense, we received a reward notice from your village at the tavern. We’ve come to help.”

The infantryman’s words caused a brief turmoil among the villagers on the wall.

Although their discussion couldn’t be heard, their anger was evident.

Soon, someone from the village shouted back, “Oh! Thankyou for that, but we can handle our own troubles. Our village isn’t in a condition to receive guests, so please, be on your way.”

Despite their words, the arrows remained drawn on their bows.

They were on full alert of Fang Hao’s party.

“Alright, tell them we’re backing off,” Fang Hao looked deeply at the people on the city wall and added.

The infantryman shouted, “Alright, we won’t bother you any longer.” Upon ending his words, the party turned and started heading back. Along the way, Anjia voiced out, “Those people don’t seem like villagers, they reek of banditry.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Hao felt the same about those people. “Dimitrija, what do you think?” Fang Hao asked Dimitrija.

Dimitrija, who seldom spoke, stated, “My lord, there were three individuals on the city wall clad in different types of heavy armor. They most likely belong to different factions. Their gathering in such a disarray aligns more with Miss Anjia’s description of bandits.”

Distinctively assorted protective gear gathered within a single party. This could only indicate that such a group were either robbers or bandits.

“It seems the trouble mentioned in the reward notice has already entered the village ahead of us.”
