Similarly, he could access resources in the Pigman village through the Lord's book as they were interconnected.
This aspect further underscored the significance of the Pigman village for mining.
New blueprint unlocked.
Stable construction blueprint.
Chapter 67.
Division of labor upon becoming a subordinate village.
New blueprints were unlocked.
With the establishment of the stables, the opportunity to rear horses within them arose.
Stepping outside, Fong Hao observed air drying carpets under the sun.
Upon noticing his presence, she greeted him with a sweet smile.
Master Fungha returned to smile faintly.
After encountering a group of pigheaded beings, the sight of the charming air was indeed a delightful contrast.
By the way, I must step out for a while.
If I return late, you should dine first, Fungha remarked.
Huh? I will wait for you to return so we can eat together, replied.
I will do my best to return early, he assured her.
With that, Fong Hao began organizing personnel for the journey to the Pigman village.
He first summoned 500 labor skeletons and 10 000 zero skeleton soldiers from the Shadowin fortress.
Once prepared, he set forth with his grand army towards the Pigman village.
Several hours later, as Fongo arrived at the village, dusk had already fallen and a deep crimson hue adorned the horizon.
The pigheaded villagers were taken aback, their faces etched with shock and disbelief at the sight of yet another massive skeletal army.
Just how many troops did Fongo possess? Each expedition seemed to involve over 10,000.
Moments ago, the chieftain had informed them that the village had officially become Fongo subordinate.
Some of the younger pigmen remained unconcerned, even feeling indignant, viewing their allegiance to Fong How as a disgrace.
However, witnessing the arrival of another 10,000 undead soldiers, such thoughts quickly dissipated.
They could only pray for a smooth affiliation, hoping not to provoke Fongo to the point of annihilating their village.
As the village gates swung open, everyone searched for Fonggha's figure.
I am Fong Ho.
Where is your chieftain? He emerged from the heart of the ranks.
What? The welcoming pigmen were once again bewildered.
All turning to Bolton for clarification.
Wasn't Fonggho a skeleton? How would he transform back into a human? Having recognized Fong Ho, Bolton quickly approached and said, "Lord Fong Hao, the chieftain is waiting for you in the room.
You may proceed directly there.
" Fong Hao considered this and agreed as it would prevent others from witnessing the signing of the slave contract.
He walked straight into Petty's chamber.
The room was dimly lit with a soft glow of the evening sun filtering through pink curtains creating an atmosphere of ambiguity.
Petty knelt on the bed, her back to the door.
Her light blue robe hung loosely, revealing her fair back, and from the side one could glimpse her voluuptuous form.
My lord, you may begin.
Petty softly urged, turning her head slightly.
Oh.
As she turned fully, all dreams shattered.
Petty, there is no need for such.
Fong Ho exclaimed at surprise.
Although he considered petty to be among the more appealing of the pigman, it did not fundamentally alter his aesthetic preferences to such an extent.
The pigman did not align with Fongous tastes.
Just as humans did not conform to the aesthetic ideals of the pigman tribe, both parties regarded each other as peculiar in appearance, falling into the category of unattractive.
Upon hearing Fong How's words, Petty's face flushed crimson as she hastily draped her clothing over herself, her countenance filled with embarrassment.
"Sir, I," Petty stammered, her cheeks burning.
She wished to offer herself in hopes that Fong Ha would treat the village kindly.
However, he promptly declined her proposal.
"Very well, let us finalize the contract.
There remain numerous matters to attend to.
" Fungho opened the Lord's book and turned to the page containing the contract.
The Lord's book included two slave contracts, one belonging to IEL and the other a blank contract purchased previously from the Manom Tavern.
Excellent.
Petty pricricked her finger with a needle, allowing blood to flow before pressing it onto the contract, thus completing the agreement.
Pigment Tribe Petty, current loyalty to you is 65.
The initial loyalty stood at 65, seemingly higher than Iel's initial loyalty, which was around 50.
It appeared that Petty held a fair degree of trust in herself.
"Now put your clothing in order.
We shall proceed to the mine," Fong Hao instructed.
With the contract concluded, Fongo felt an increased trust in the pigheaded folk.
Once Petty had adjusted her attire, the two exited the room.
Petty began to gather personnel for the journey to the mine.
While Fong Hao opened the Lord's book to craft tools.
Iron pickaxe, two wood, two iron.
Adjusting the quantity to 10.
100fold amplification triggered.
Acquiring 1,0 iron pickaxes.
Cart 22 wood, eight rope.
Quantity set to 10.
100fold amplification triggered.
Acquiring 1,0 carts.
A,000 iron pickaxes and a thousand carts materialized out of thin air, astonishing the pigmen once more.
It was unclear who knelt first, but soon all were prostrated on the ground, bowing in reverence.
In their eyes, only a divine being could conjure such a multitude of items from nothingness.
Even a tribe leader, Petty, experienced a boost in loyalty following the act of worship.
Pigman tribe, Petty's loyalty to you increased by 30, current loyalty 95.
Remarkably, an unexpected gain emerged.
Petty's loyalty surged by 30 points, reaching 95.
Once all preparations were complete, the two, accompanied by their subordinates, commenced their journey to the abandoned mine.
Standing before the now safe mine, Fong Howo declared, "You need not concern yourselves with mining or transportation.
Your responsibilities lie in maintaining the road between the village and the mine, as well as the mine's defenses.
The labor skeletons will handle mining, while the skeletal wolves will manage transportation.
The pigman's task is to smooth the road and set up defenses around the mine to prevent incursions by rival factions.
Understood.
My lord, I shall arrange this immediately, Petty replied.
As Petty assigned tasks to the pigmen, Fong Hao began issuing commands to the skeletons.
You shall wield the iron pickaxes and commence mining here, he commanded.
The 500 labor skeletons picked up their iron pickaxes and entered the mine to begin extracting ore.
Your next task is to patrol the vicinity, ensuring the safety of the mine.
Fonghouse summoned an additional 2,000 skeleton soldiers strategically positioned near the mine.
Other factions or beasts remain unaware that the iron eating worms have been completely eradicated.
Given enough time, it is inevitable that wild creatures will approach, disturbing the laboring skeletons.
Once Fong Ho had arranged everything, Petty completed her assignments and approached him, speaking softly, "My lord, everything has been arranged, and construction will commence early tomorrow morning.
Is indeed too late to proceed with any work today.
" "Very well, let us return to the village.
" Accompanied by Petty, Fonha took a leisurely stroll around the village.
The Pigman village was modest in scale and of a relatively low tier.
