The resources in the warehouse vanished, and under a radiant glow, the humble abode transformed.
The wooden hut expanded significantly, becoming more exquisite and sturdy.
Level two, Lord's hut.
Owner, Fongghao.
Territory buildings.
Level one, underground tomb.
Level one, warehouse.
Note: Core building of the territory.
Materials required for upgrade with 1,200, stone, 600, thatch 300, leather, 120, hemp, rope, 50.
World announcement.
Congratulations to Lord Fong How for being the first in the world to upgrade the main city.
Rewards.
All factions gain 50 influence.
The owner's faction gains 200 influence.
The owner's faction lord skill one, one special building blueprint, one equipment crafting blueprint, and 200 war coins.
The world announcement reverberated in the ears of lords across the globe.
A multitude of lords, their faces etched with the burdens of suffering were instantly stirred into a frenzy.
What was happening? How could it be that resources had accumulated so rapidly? It seemed impossible.
It was utterly unfair.
I was still busy preparing vegetable soup for my farmers to restore their strength.
Yet, he had already upgraded his main city.
How did that prominent figure acquire such provisions? I am famished.
Wild vegetables are merely plucked from the roadside.
This fellow must surely be cheating.
Who knows how to report him? There must be rewards for such reports.
But this is not a game.
Where would the cheating come from? Everyone was astonished by this world announcement.
Each person had been diligently gathering resources.
Why Funghow managed to amass materials so swiftly? We all traversed this realm together.
What justified his rapid progress? With farmers collecting wood at a rate of merely 20 units per hour, accumulating 800 units was no trivial feat.
Moreover, numerous external factors complicated the resource gathering process, heightening its difficulty.
Funo shook his head with a rice smile, closing the channel to examine his rewards.
Bone manipulation type passive skill description when commanding skeletal undead.
Mobility increases by five and all attributes by two.
Acquired green equipment blueprint dual-handed crossbow.
Description: A lightweight and practical crossbow.
Materials required five wood, two iron, three metal parts acquired.
Purple special building blueprint fountain of rejuvenation.
Description: Life nurtured within nature.
The fountain of life reminiscent of the taste of mother's milk.
Construction materials required 1,000 tough wood, 2,200 stone bricks, 22 nature gems, 12 forest traces, 10 spring water traces, eight essence of magic.
Gazing at the materials required for the blueprints, Fonggha momentarily lost his focus, taken aback by the chaotic jumble before him.
Nevertheless, the generous rewards filled him with joy, even if he currently lacked the necessary materials for construction.
In due time, as his resource collection expanded, he would gradually gather what was needed.
The blueprints transformed into a beam of light, merging into the tome of lords.
In the manufacturing section, the dual-handed crossbow was unlocked.
In the building section, the fountain of rejuvenation was also unlocked.
Regrettably, he lacked the materials at present and would have to wait until he had collected everything needed to commence construction.
As Fong Ha contemplated his rewards, additional resources began to accumulate.
To further solidify his advantage, he decided to upgrade his underground cemetery.
Level one underground cemetery.
Materials required for upgrade.
300 wood, 400 stone.
Upon confirming the upgrade, the semi-ubterane cemetery expanded significantly and the attributes of the building underwent a transformation.
Level two underground cemetery recruitment limit 510.
Available for recruitment skeletons free.
Note labor units can be recruited in this building to perform basic tasks.
Materials required for upgrade: 600 wood, 800 stone, 120 hemp rope, two shadow stones.
The recruitment limit increased from 5 to 10.
This setting serves as a delightful surprise for Fongghao.
However, the recruitment cap signifies the number of individuals that can be summoned from the structures rather than the total population.
Otherwise, with 500 skeletons, no amount of construction could surpass the current population limit.
This recruitment ceiling allows Fong how to summon an additional five skeletons.
He promptly opts to recruit.
Recruitable skeleton 05.
Would you like to recruit? Recruit.
100fold.
Amplification triggered.
Successfully recruited skeleton 55.
Wow.
A vast sea of white skeletal forms materializes in the space before him.
Fortunately, Fona is already acclimated to this and feels no discomfort.
He continues to utilize the 100fold amplification to craft 202 stone axes and 303 stone pickaxes.
Each skeleton receives one, ready to venture out for gathering.
How? Before Fong How can finish his sentence, a wolf's howl emanates from outside his territory, interrupting him.
Standing at top a stone, he gazes into the distance where more than 10 robust prairie wolves excitedly pounce upon the industrious skeletons, incessantly gnawing and tearing at them.
Several nearby skeletons initiate an attack, but lacking numerical superiority.
They find themselves no match for the prairie wolves.
They're torn apart, bones scattered across the ground.
These vile creatures dare to bully the undead.
Fonggho curses furiously and shouts to the skeletons working outside, "Kill the wolves.
" Although his voice does not carry far, nearly a hundred skeletons heed his command.
In unison, they turn to face the prairie wolves.
After a brief pause, they brandish their weapons and charge at the wolves.
The undead are unlike humans.
They feel no fear.
Even when faced with a stronger foe, they charge heedlessly into battle when commanded by their lord.
In an instant, the clash between the skeletons and wolves ensues.
The sounds of breaking bones and the wolves howls echoing through the air.
Soon, more and more skeletons gather around, and the prairie wolves leave behind six corpses while the remainder break free from the encirclement and flee.
Fong steps outside his territory, surveying the chaotic scene, he instructs the skeletons to bring in the wolf carcasses and collect the discarded tools.
The skeletons haul the remaining wolf bodies into the territory while others begin to gather the fallen tools.
Tier one beast, Prairie Wolf 6, would you like to butcher? Confirm butchery.
Butchery complete.
Acquired 2,400 meat, 120 hides, 90 bones.
The butchery yields a bountiful harvest of meat, hides, and bones.
Yet, Fongo feels no joy.
He gazes at the injured and damaged skeletons.
His brow furrowed.
These prairie wolves pose a significant danger.
