Chapter 224: Chapter 220, Platinum Treasure Chest _1

As soon as he approached the sand table, a system prompt suddenly appeared.
Fang Hao immediately opened the Book of Lords and flipped to the ‘Map’ page.
Sure enough, on the map page, the entire Frostwind mountain range area was fully illuminated, showing the terrain, winding paths, which fully matched the information on the sand table.
This brought an instant joy to Fang Hao’s heart.
You see, maps require manpower to explore.
Initially, when Fang Hao just traversed here, he made use of the God’s Presence skill every day, exploring the territory nearby with his men, and then crossreferenced the map to re-explore the unlit areas when he returned.
Now that he has incorporated the sand table, this task was saved, and the entire Frostwind mountain range map was automatically unlocked.
And it’s very clear.
“What’s the matter, Lord?” Clair seeing Fang Hao lost in thought, asked quietly.
“Eh, nothing, just go ahead.” Fang Hao closed the Book of Lords, refocusing his gaze on the sand table.
“Alright, Lord.”
The sand table is huge, Clair picked up his crutch, and pointed from east to west along a road inside the mountain.
“Lord, this road cuts through the entire mountain range.” He pointed out at a point in the middle, “Frostwind Mountain Range and Bloodthirsty Mountain Range use this as the boundary and do not interfere with each other.”
It appears that the Bloodthirsty Mountain Range occupies more locations and has a better living environment.
One of the major reasons is that the Bloodthroat Tribe is stronger and has an orange hero stationed there.
“So you mean, if those trolls want to attack Frostwind Mountain Range, this is the only route they’d take?” Fang Hao said.
“Yes, Lord, all the other paths are rugged mountain trails, at most a few hundred people can pass. If a war breaks out, this is the only road,” Clair answered.
Fang Hao nodded, thinking that he should also establish a fortress here later for defense against the trolls.
Once internal stability is achieved in the Frostwind Tribe, based on the locations of the two forts, attack can be launched on the Bloodthirsty Mountain Range, and this threat can be completely removed.
“Talk about the mines, I see here contains a large amount of mineral reserves, there must be many mines, right?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
“Yes, there are a total of 72 mining sites, but the tribes have had constant disputes in the past, plundering each other, and not many mines can continue production,” replied Clair.
“Hmm, we’ll compile them all later, arrange specific villages for mining, and stabilize efficiency,” Fang Hao nodded.
There are actually 72 locations, the ores here are really rich.
As long as mining is stable, there will no worries for the ores needed in the territory.
“Alright, Lord. The Frostwind Mountain Range used to supply mineral resources in exchange for other resources. If we stop fighting for mines and destroying facilities, the output can at least double,” said Clair, standing next to Fang Hao.
“I’ll take care of the supply part. They don’t have to worry about it. As long as they do their jobs, they can eat well and wear warm,” Fang Hao understood what Clair wanted to convey.
Previously, the resources here were used for exchange.
They used ores to exchange for other necessary resources such as food and daily necessities.
Fang Hao would arrange these, and they only needed to finish their work.
“Thank you, Lord. As long as these needs are met, they won’t cause any trouble,” said Clair.
“Hmm.” Fang Hao nodded, and looked at Fireblade.
“Fireblade, Clip.”
“Lord.” The two came over.
“You two will lead the army to this place. I will establish a fortress here, and you two will be responsible for defense,” Fang Hao pointed to the junction of the Frostwind Mountain Range and the Bloodthirsty Mountain Range on the sand table.
“Yes, Lord,” the two nodded in agreement.
Fang Hao looked at Shaman Clair, “Let’s go, you come with me first. I’ll send you back after the fortress is built.”
“Oh, alright, Lord.”
Fang Hao, with Clair and Anjia, left the chieftain’s hall.
The three of them rode the Bone Dragon towards the boundary.
In half an hour, they had already reached the boundary.
There were not only jagged rocks here, but also a sizable wind vent.
The strong wind made people lean, and they had to strive against the wind step by step.
“Lord, this is the boundary. Shah has considered establishing a fortress here, but it is very difficult to walk normally here, let alone constructing a fortress that can block the path,” said Clair loudly.
But the ‘whoo’ sound of the wind next to his ear made it a bit unclear to hear.
Fang Hao cast Frost Armor, with stones occasionally blown up by the strong wind hitting the armor, emitting blue ripples.
He opened the Book of Lords, went straight to the construction area, and found the [Fortress],
[Fortress: Wood 3000, Stone 2000, Cement 1500, Iron 500, Metal fittings 120.]
He directly chose to build.
The light fluctuated, and a fortress was erected to block the wind vent. As the three moved forward with force, their bodies suddenly lightened, almost falling to the ground.
Clair had never seen such a situation where a fortress can be constructed in the blink of an eye.
His face looked excited, mumbling words like “gift” and “miracle,” and he knelt down to Fang Hao again.
Loyalty also directly rose by 10 points.
Fang Hao asked him to get up and started to upgrade the fortress, and build defense arrow towers and magic defense towers.
“Clair, arrange some orcs to come here later to listen to Fireblade’s commands for joint defense,” Fang Hao instructed after the fortress was built.
“Alright Lord, I will arrange it properly,” replied Clair.
About half an hour later, Fireblade led a large group over.
Of the over 1 million undead soldiers who have been assigned to the Frostwind City, over 200,000 have been left behind, and the rest have all been brought here.
“Fireblade, you stay and guard this place as do you, Pliers. Listen to Fireblade’s orders,” said Fang Hao.
“Yes, my lord.”
“I will definitely listen to Fireblade’s commands. Lord, does this make me a commander now?” Pliers, recovering quickly from his injuries, asked with a voice less raspy than before.
“A commander?” Fang Hao asked curiously.
“Yes, someone who can command a few people,” Pliers explained eagerly.
This little green-skin wants a title so bad.
“Fine, if you do a good job and prove yourself, the Skeleton Giant Bats will be under your command,” Fang Hao replied.
“No, my lord, I mean the Orcs. Can I command a few Orcs?” Pliers hurried to clarify.
What’s so great about commanding skeletons? He simply hoped to have a team of Orcs under his command to deploy as he wished.
“That depends on your efforts. Do a good job and I’ll give you an entire army to command.”
“Thank you, my lord, thank you.” Pliers quickly expressed his gratitude, grinning from ear to ear.
It’s feasible for Pliers to command a part of the flight troops.
However, his abilities are really quite low. If he aspires to command a large army, I’m afraid it might be somewhat problematic.
But I shouldn’t discourage his ambitions, hence, my words at present.
After naming this place Frostwind Fortress (East), Fang Hao and his party returned to Frostwind City.
They strolled around their territory, and led by Shaman Clyde, arrived at Frostwind City’s industrial district.
Several warehouses had been built here, which were filled with a large number of ores.
Not far away was a smelting furnace factory, especially used for processing ores.
“Lord, ordinarily we have Orc blacksmiths working here, forging weapons and smelting iron ores,” Clair pointed at the cold factory and quietly explained.
This factory had been shut down ever since the Shah’s defeat and the occupation by the Undead Army.
“Hmm, arrange for operations to be resumed when the time comes,” Fang Hao said.
He massively increased the production of all kinds of tools in the warehouse and increased the number of smelting furnaces to 200.
Regardless of whether it’s too much or not, it definitely can’t be too few.
Later, he would recruit some Skeleton Blacksmiths to be assigned here, turning this place directly into a blacksmithing factory.
After touring the city, they returned to the Chieftain’s Great Hall.
Just then, Anjia was directing a skeleton to bring out boxes and boxes filled with Gold Coins.
“Warfire Coins: 787580, Beasthead Gold: 2254.580.”
So much money!
Fang Hao’s eyes began to flash with the gleam of gold.
“Save 500,000 Beasthead Gold, and load the rest onto the Bone Dragon,” Fang Hao ordered.
Frostwind City being a native city, factories and mines would require paying wages to their workers, all settled through Beasthead Gold. Therefore, some needed to be saved.
Likewise, Fang Hao would open some shops here, which could earn back the money, thus forming a cycle.
“Oh,” Anjia responded, and then pointed to a skeleton at the back row, “There’s a White Iron treasure chest there. Go and see what good stuff there is.”
“White Iron?” Fang Hao paused and then it hit him, it must mean silver.
If it is a Silver Treasure Chest, that would indeed be disappointing.
Capturing the Frostwind Mountain Range was the biggest battle Fang Hao had ever fought since he passed through this world.
With nearly 800,000 enemy soldiers in a single rally and his own deployment crossing over 500,000, he couldn’t merely receive a white silver chest as a reward.
“Bring it.” Fang Hao beckoned.
Two skeletons from behind brought over a massive, bright white metal chest.
“Platinum Treasure Chest.”
Oh my god!
Fang Hao shot an annoyed glance at Anjia, is this what you call White Iron?
Is there such a shiny iron?
This was the fifth level of treasure chests after Wood, Black Iron, Silver, and Gold, and should be superior in comparison.
Without further hesitation, Fang Hao directly chose to open it.
Bright flashes of light fluttered, and item after item appeared before Fang Hao.
“Acquired: Jewelry Shop Construction Blueprint, Deceptive Statue Construction Blueprint, Storm Fine Iron Helmet Blueprint (Blue), Storm Fine Iron Chest Armor Blueprint (Blue), Storm Fine Iron Full Finger Gauntlet Blueprint (Blue), Storm Fine Iron Boots Blueprint (Blue), Stone Seat Black Iron Street Lamp (Blue), Dragon Tooth Necklace (Purple), Hero Recruitment Scroll (Orange), Beast Tooth Stone 182, Warfire Coins 510.”
Fang Hao carefully inspected his prizes from the treasure chest. The Platinum Treasure Chest reward was indeed plentiful.
Also, this confirmed that the Platinum Treasure Chest was more advanced and higher quality than the Gold one, with more and better rewards coming out. Fang Hao’s eyes landed first on the orange scroll.
“Hero Recruitment Scroll (Orange).”
It’s actually an orange scroll.
