According to Petty, they had migrated from elsewhere only a few years prior.

Her father had been the previous chieftain who perished during a hunt, leading her to assumed the role of chieftain.

It was after her succession that she began selling goods in the Mana market.

After a thorough inspection of the village, Fongo noted the various structures.

the chieftain's hall, wooden city walls, a warehouse, three grazing fields, a farm, a stable, and numerous humble residences for the pigmen.

Among these, the stable was Fong housed greatest satisfaction.

It housed over a dozen adult and juvenile horses.

Following the village's designation as an affiliated settlement, the construction blueprints for stables were unlocked.

The condition of the livestock in the grazing fields and stable indicated that the pigmen were quite adept at husbandry with their animals appearing robust and healthy.

After exploring the village, Fong Hao commenced the upgrading of the pigman settlement.

Chapter 68.

The wooden spinning wheel according to the established rules.

Fonggho had the liberty to utilize the resources of the subordinate village at his discretion while Petty required his consent for any use of these resources.

In a certain sense, this village had become Fongghow's domain with Petty serving more as a temporary steward, fulfilling the role of village chief.

Thus, enhancing the village's defenses was an indispensable task.

With this thought in mind, Fongo proceeded to upgrade the village.

He elevated the walls to level three and erected arrow towers at each of the four corners.

Subsequently, he upgraded all buildings within the village to level three.

Unlike subordinate villages, which were limited in building levels, the structures here could not exceed the territo's level, capping at level three.

Petty observed the village's expansion with a sense of exhilaration.

This upgrade alone had accelerated the village's development by several years.

My lord, Petty's eyes sparkled with admiration.

Although the figure before her retained a certain unattractiveness, it did not diminish her reverence and respect for him.

Well, I shall be departing shortly.

I will leave behind some defensive forces.

How many do you think would be appropriate? Fonhow spoke softly.

He needed to return to his own territory and intended to leave a contingent of troops in the Pigman village for routine patrols and security, but he wished to consult petty on the matter.

The other pig-headed villagers harbored some reservations towards the undead.

My lord, can these undead soldiers follow commands? Petty pondered before asking, "If Fong How were to leave, the potential for the undead to run a muck and devastate the village was a legitimate concern.

Do not worry.

Before I depart, I will issue them commands to follow only your orders in my absence.

" Funo reassured her, understanding her apprehensions.

"Oh, that is relieving.

Then let us arrange for 1,000 soldiers to ensure the village's safety," Petty suggested softly.

Given the modest size of the village, 1,000 would suffice for defensive purposes.

Very well, Fong Ho designated 1,000 skeleton soldiers, instructing them to obey Petty's commands, excluding himself.

Once all arrangements were complete, he set off for his territory with the remaining skeleton soldiers.

As he returned, the moon hung high in the sky.

The skeletal army marched forth, torches aloft, while various beasts lurked in the shadows, keeping their distance as the army advanced.

Only when they neared the territory did the creatures disperse.

Upon entering the lord's wooden abode, heard the commotion and rushed to the door.

"Master, you have returned.

" She exclaimed, leaping in a fong house's embrace.

Like a little cat, eagerly awaiting her owner's return, she exhibited a blend of caution and mild reproach.

Fungho smiled gently, stroking her ears as he replied.

I was somewhat preoccupied, hence my late return.

The loyalty of the rabbit girl Eier towards you has increased by eight points.

Current loyalty 98.

Ah, he mused, having inadvertently gained five points of loyalty from merely petting her ears.

Fawn how tenderly caressed Eair's ears once more.

You raised her head, her eyes brimming with affection as she spoke.

master after her loyalty reached 98.

Fong how could distinctly sense your s reliance on him.

A stark contrast to the time when he had just acquired her.

"Well, you're all grown up yet still acting koi.

Have you eaten?" Fonggho inquired gently.

"Yes, I will prepare it for you right away," Yur replied, releasing Fong Hao and heading to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The two shared a simple meal, and as night fell, they returned directly to their room.

Lying in bed, Fong Hao first summoned the skeleton bat to patrol the surrounding territory.

Not detecting any threats, he finally drifted off to sleep.

The following day, Fong Hao awoke to the sun shining brightly.

Having slept in late the previous night, your head had not roused him, and to his surprise, he had slumbered until noon.

After dressing, he descended the stairs to wash up.

"Master, you're awake.

You're greeted with a smile.

" "Indeed," Fonha responded while drying his face.

Please hold on a moment.

I will prepare breakfast immediately.

By the way, a skeleton merchant has arrived in the territory.

You should go to the market and take a look, you're suddenly recalled, speaking hurriedly.

The unexpected appearance of the skeleton merchant startled her.

Fortunately, the merchant was quite courteous.

Introducing himself before returning to the market area.

Fong Hao, upon hearing about the skeleton merchant, paused for a moment, immediately glancing at the timekeeping board at his door.

"Indeed, it was the time of the merchant's arrival.

" "All right, I'll go take a look," Fungha said while you went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Fong Hao briskly made his way to the market area.

In the market within the realm of the undead, the skeleton merchant Ruell was elegantly seated on a chair, leaning on his cane, patiently awaiting.

Upon seeing Fong Ho approach, he rose respectfully and said, "Good afternoon, my lord.

" "Good afternoon, Mr.

Rul.

I was busy yesterday and woke up a bit late.

" Fong Hao replied apologetically.

"Haha, no worries.

Would you like to see the goods now?" "Yes," Fonghao responded.

"Are you tapped his cane lightly on the ground once more, causing a dim tunnel to open from the graveyard, revealing a rack of bones.

The rack displayed six items.

Leather vest blueprint white price five battle coins.

Wooden spinning wheel blueprint green price 20 battle coins.

Forging furnace blueprint green price 25 battle coins.

Advanced hero contract blue price 50 battle coins.

Organ jar green price 50 battle coins.

Blank map price two battle coins.

The merchant stay duration 2 hours and 12 minutes.

Observing the blueprints this time, Fonhow felt quite satisfied.

Indeed, shopping proved to be the most expedient way to meet his needs.

"Mr.

Rul, I will take all of these goods," Fonghouse said with a smile.

Pulling out 152 battle coins from his pocket and handing them to Rul.

"Thank you for your generosity.
