Had he summoned hundreds of farmers, the burden of food supply would have been insurmountable.
Should he fail to provide for the farmers, it could lead to lethargy or even rebellion.
Who could say he wouldn't be struck down by his own subjugated farmers? The skeletons stood motionless, staring blankly at him.
Your task is to gather resources and collect food.
Funhow tossed the stone pickaxe and stone axe he had brought back onto the ground.
The nearest skeletons approached and picked them up.
Very well.
Go to work, but remember not to wander too far, Fonho commanded.
The 500 skeletons turned and crowded toward the territo's exit.
These skeletons may not be formidable units, but their sheer numbers were their strength.
While others could recruit only five farmers, he commanded 505 what a jest.
Once all the skeletons had ventured out to labor, Fongo found himself alone within the territory.
He sat upon a stone, retrieving the Lord's book, and casually leafed through its pages.
Stone axe, one stone, one wood, one hemp rope.
Stone pickaxe, one stone, one wood, one hemp rope.
Hemp rope, two straw.
It is evident that the skeletons tasked with gathering wood and stone by hand are unable to exploit their potential.
Thus, it is imperative to swiftly craft the stone axe and stone pickaxe.
Half an hour later, the sounds of footsteps and the clattering of bones echoed from a distance.
Some skeletons had already returned with wood and stone.
Resources: 50 wood, 40 stone, 80 straw, 800 meat, 30 hides.
The skeletons dropped off the materials and turned to leave.
Fonhow promptly opened the crafting menu.
After consuming two units of straw, he crafted a single hemp rope, triggering a 100fold amplification, successfully crafted 101 hemp ropes.
Fong Hao exclaimed in astonishment.
The ability to amplify crafting by 100fold seemed incredibly powerful.
With a spirit of experimentation, he consumed two units each of wood, stone, and hemp rope to create one stone axe and one stone pickaxe, triggering a 100fold amplification.
successfully crafted 101 stone axes, triggering a 100fold amplification.
Successfully crafted 101 stone pickaxes.
Indeed, the subsequent crafting of the stone axes and pickaxes also receive the amplification.
Fong Ho had discerned a pattern.
The summoned troops would trigger the 100fold amplification, and crafting tools would do the same.
Without hesitation, he proceeded to craft again, producing a total of 202 stone axes and 303 stone pickaxes.
The stone pickaxes required more time to craft, hence the larger quantity.
In an instant, the tools beside the wooden house piled up into a small hill.
Approaching the entrance of the territory, he called out loudly, "Those without tools, return and take your tools to continue working.
" The skeletons, lacking in intellect, but capable of understanding basic commands, returned in droves, tools in hand, ready to resume their labor.
Fong Hao observed the remaining tools on the ground, his brow furrowing slightly.
Goodness, have over 20 gone missing in such a short time.
Surely, they haven't lost their way.
He had crafted tools in accordance with a number of skeletons.
Yet, 28 tools remained on the ground, indicating that several skeletons had not returned.
Escape was impossible.
These skeletons lacked any form of intelligence, let alone the ability to flee.
They must have gotten lost or failed to hear Fong's call.
As he pondered whether to venture out and search for them, a group of over 10 skeletons appeared, struggling to carry a single horned goat.
The skeletons were a sight to behold, covered in mud, one missing an arm and another with two broken ribs.
They had evidently gone hunting for themselves.
"Well done! Good job, Fonggha remarked, feeling a twinge of sympathy for their disheveled state.
However, the skeletons showed no response.
With a thud, they dropped the goat carcass onto the ground and turned to leave.
"Wait, take your tools with you.
" Fongo hurly called out to them.
The skeletons, with their usual dullness, turned back, retrieve their tools, and once again made their way outside the territory, watching the slender, pale figures gradually recede into the distance.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
so aloof.
There is much discourse concerning the low stamina of farmers.
After a brief period of labor, they must return to their territory to rest.
For this reason, Fongo took a moment to reexamine the attributes of the skeletons.
They possess no stamina.
Yet, they toil tirelessly, ceaselessly engaged in their work.
Once the accumulated resources reach a certain quantity, they will transport them back before venturing out to continue their labor.
Truly, they're exemplary workers of the contemporary age.
First tier magical beast, the unicorn goat.
Shall it be slaughtered? Slaughter.
A radiant light flashed over the carcass of the unicorn goat.
The valuable meat and materials have been meticulously harvested and arranged neatly to the side.
The remaining bones have transformed into a fine white powder.
Slaughter completed, yielding 500 units of meat, 20 hides, and 15 bones.
Chapter 3.
global rewards.
Though the 500 skeletons appeared rather monotonous, they were tireless in their labor, oblivious to exhaustion.
Their sheer numbers provided an overwhelming advantage, rendering their efficiency several hundred times greater than that of other lords.
Before long, a variety of basic resources had accumulated into small hills in the clearing in front of the wooden hut.
This cannot continue, Fong mused, observing the mound of resources with a furrowed brow.
There was scarcely any space left to stand, and the skeletons continued to ceaselessly stack materials in the clearing.
Resources would 420, stone 340, thatch 250, meat, 1100, leather, 65, beast bones 40.
A warehouse must be constructed.
Fonhow opened the construction menu.
Level one warehouse with 300 stone 280, thatch 100, hemp rope, 50, 50 hemp ropes required.
Funha was taken back.
He proceeded to craft one hemp rope from thatch, triggering a 100fold increase and acquiring 101 hemp ropes.
Selecting a vacant spot beside the Lord's hut, he initiated the construction.
Level one warehouse shall be built, Fong Hao confirmed, his heart racing with anticipation.
Would he be graced with another 100fold increase, resulting in the emergence of 100 warehouses? Construction completed.
The anticipated 100 warehouses did not materialize.
Instead, a single wooden-framed warehouse with a thatched roof appear before him.
The remaining materials in the clearing were neatly categorized and stored within the warehouse.
The skeletons passing by instinctively navigated around Fongo, depositing resources into the warehouse rather than leaving them piled in the open space.
Once the materials were exhausted, Fonghao found another spot to sit, observing the online community as they engaged in various boastful displays.
After resource consumption, it was not long before the diligent efforts of the 500 skeletons bore fruit once more as the collection of resources reached astonishing speeds.
This time, Fong Ho aimed to upgrade the main city.
Level one, Lord's hut.
Owner, Fongghao, territory buildings.
Level one underground tomb.
Level one warehouse.
Note core building of the territory.
Materials required for upgrade.
Wood 800, stone 300, thatch 100, hemp rope 20.
Without much hesitation, he clicked to upgrade.
