The next day, at dawn.
Eira was kneeling by the bed, her fair little hand lightly nudging a sleeping Fang Hao.
Master, wake up. Didn’t you mention having important matters to attend to today?”
Hearing her voice, Fang Hao snapped his eyes open. His brain was in standby mode for quite a while before it began to operate normally.
Yes, today was the day of the forced task. He had asked Eira to wake him up early.
He sat up from the bed and whispered, “Eira, how did you get in?”
Usually, Eira knocked from outside the door and would not directly enter Fang Hao’s room.
“Master, I knocked on the door, but you didn’t get up. I was worried that it would delay your schedule for today, so I came in,” Eira said in a pitiful tone. He had fallen asleep rather late last night, probably why he didn’t hear the knock.
“Right, I have something to do today.” Fang Hao stretched his body to wake himself up quickly.
Eira immediately helped Fang Hao dress up and after a simple washing up, they immediately walked out of the lord’s wooden house.
It was still early, probably around 5 in the morning. The Guardians’ attack was approximately three hours away.
At that moment, Fireblade, dressed in the Bloodthirsty Set,walked over holding the Bloodthirsty Blade in his hand.
He declared loudly, “My Lord, a strange cave was found in the forest one kilometer outside the territory, but it is protected by a shield that prevents us from dismantling or attacking it.”
The map around his territory was engraved in Fang Hao’s mind.
These sudden appearance of mysterious caves protected by shields, were most likely where the Guardians would appear.
“Alright, I understand.” Fang Hao nodded.
The number of enemies in this mission depended on the amount of resources gathered.
Fang Hao’s thousands of undead laborers, working tirelessly day and night, had successfully increased the number of enemies to 120,000.
Let alone the regional channel, even in the world channel, nobody probably had more than Fang Hao.
After reporting, Fireblade returned to his post.
Meanwhile, Fang Hao headed to the barracks to increase the number of soldiers.
First, he went to the Undead Mage Tower.
[Do you want to consume the Wriggling Spine to recruit Undead Mages?]
He set the recruitment number to 100 and clicked recruit.
[Hundredfold Amplification triggered, successfully recruited 10,100 Undead Mages.]
In a blink of an eye!
10,000 proud Undead Mages appeared before Fang Hao.
A dense sea of White Bones.
Fang Hao continued to craft 10,100 pieces of the [Wooden Root Magic Wand], 10,100 suits of leather armor, and equipped all the Undead Mages.
Combining with the mages recruited last time, the territory now had a total of 10,201 Undead Mages.
“Pick up the equipment and all ascend the city wall,” Fang Hao said loudly. All the Undead Mages silently put on the equipment and directly went up the city wall.
Next, Fang Hao continued to recruit infantry.
The Skeleton Spearmen and Skeleton Foot Soldiers were expanded to 200,000 each.
As for the Skeleton Trolls, because the recruitment process required Troll Stones, he only recruited 5,000.
These 50 Troll Stones were exchanged from the channel in the past few days.
In an instant, the whole city was crowded.
Even the roof of the buildings was covered with skeleton soldiers. This was why Fang Hao recruited early in the morning, instead of last night. Otherwise, arranging so many soldiers late at night would be difficult. “Fireblade!” Fang Hao called out loudly.
“My Lord.” Fireblade made his way through the crowd and came over.
“You will be in command of these soldiers. Station them outside the territory.”
“Yes, My Lord.”
Fireblade led the skeletons away with a wave of his big hand.
Once all the skeletons had left the territory, Fang Hao continued to make weapons and armor. He had the skeletons transport them outside using carts so they could equip the soldiers.
With the troops and equipment sorted out,
Fang Hao proceeded to make defenses.
Yesterday, he had traded his iron spears for the blueprint for the defenses.
Seeing that a big battle was imminent, he decided to craft them all.
[Wooden Barricade: Wood 12, Hemp Rope 8.]
The materials were not very expensive and were all basic materials.
He set the production quantity to 100.
[Hundredfold Amplification triggered, obtained 10,100 Wooden Barricades.]
In an instant, a large number of wooden barricades appeared again.
[Wooden Barricade]
[Category: Obstacle Equipment]
(Description: Sharpen the top of the wooden post, fix it crosswise to hinder the movement of enemies and horses.)
Fang Hao had seen this type of obstacle in movies.
In some films, bandits set up such roadblocks on the roads, hindering passage
for anyone who did not pay tolls or blocking cavalry.
This was considered a simple and effective tool.
He arranged for hands to transport all the wooden barricades outside the city and set them up on the inevitable path of the enemies.
“My Lord, everything has been arranged,” Fireblade reported again. “There are no problems here either with the Mages,” Nelson also came forward. Fang Hao nodded, and continued, “Fireblade, scout around the territory again to see if there are any other caves. If there are, notify me immediately.” There was still some time left before the start.
“Yes, My Lord, I will go immediately,” Fireblade quickly left.
Fang Hao also went back into his room and entered God’s Presence state.
The next second, he possessed a Skeleton Foot Soldier in Pigmen Village.
At this time, Petty was leading the Pig-headed humans and had just returned to the village from outside.
“Petty!” Fang Hao called out.
Petty, who was in the middle of a conversation, paused, and immediately realized that it was Fang Hao.
He hurried forward, “Great Lord.”
“Are there any strange caves or special buildings that suddenly appeared around the village?” Fang Hao asked.
This had just occurred to him.
The compulsory task was clearly targeted at the lords and would not affect their native villages.
But since the Pigmen Village had become a subordinate village of Fang Hao, it was unclear whether it might be affected.
“Ah! I’m not sure about that. What kind of cave does the Great Lord want to find? I will immediately arrange for someone to start searching.” Petty thought that Fang Hao wanted to find a certain cave.
It seemed that the people of the Pigmen Village, whether patrolling or working outside, had not noticed anything unusual.
“No, it’s alright. If there is any danger, abandon the village and flee towards the main territory,” Fang Hao instructed.
“Oh, oh!” Although Petty was still somewhat confused, he nodded in agreement instinctively.
The next second, without waiting for Petty to ask in detail, Fang Hao deactivated his possession.
The Soul Fire in the pupils of the Skeleton Foot Soldier gradually extinguished.
In the territory.
Fang Hao walked out of the wooden house again and ascended the city wall on the west side.
On the city wall were 10,000 Undead Mages holding Wooden Root Magic Wands.
Below the city wall were over 200,000 skeleton soldiers await orders in perfect order.
Moving forward, densely connected wooden barricades could be seen.
While others used barricades as roadblocks to stop approaching teams or block cavalry,
Fang Hao used them as if they were free.
Looking down from the city wall, it looked like the Great Wall made of mahjong tiles out of boredom when he was a child.
When everything was ready,
The system prompt appeared again.
[The task officially starts, good luck to you…]
At the same time.
A long-sounding horn suddenly echoed in the sky.
Fang Hao sat on his chair, immediately activated God’s Presence, and possessed a Skeleton Giant Bat.
He controlled the giant bat to fly into the sky, heading towards the direction of the cave..
