The once exuberant and roaring ogre, brandishing its massive club, suddenly stiffened.

As it approached, the creature fell to its knees, emitting a heart-wrenching whale that echoed through the sky, capturing the attention of all nearby ogres.

The skeletons, ever opportunistic, seized this perfect moment to launch their assault.

With relentless shield strikes raining down upon the ogre's head, the frequency of attacks caused occasional bouts of dizziness to occur, punctuating its cries of agony.

Fongo wiped the blood from his sword, surveying the weaknesses of the ogres with a cold demeanor.

"Target their groin," he commanded.

Though the ogres might not comprehend his words, they could certainly sense the focus of Fongo's gaze, particularly in conjunction with the ogre gushing blood from its loins.

Their expressions turned grim and they instinctively tightened their legs.

Upon hearing Fongo's orders, the skeletons abandoned their reckless slashing.

Armed with iron swords and spears, they assailed the ogre's vulnerable areas from every conceivable angle.

Despite the ogre's attempts at defense, it proved impossible to guard against such a multifaceted onslaught.

In a matter of moments, all the ogres found their lower bodies under siege, their cries reverberating throughout the battlefield.

The clash persisted for over an hour, ultimately culminating in victory for the skeleton legion, whose numbers allowed them to vanquish every last ogre, observing the scene before him.

Fonhow shook his head slightly.

The ogres lay sprawled across the ground, their bodies marred by varying degrees of injury, blood pooling around them.

The skeleton army suffered even greater losses with shattered skulls and severed limbs littering the ground.

Some skeletons along with their iron armor had been crushed flat against the earth.

Sighing Fong Ho calculated the toll of this battle.

Approximately 8,000 skeletons had perished with many others sustaining various injuries.

2,000 will accompany me.

The rest will clean up the battlefield, he commanded loudly.

The skeletons sprang in action once more, beginning their task of tidying the area.

Fong Hao, accompanied by several skeletons, made his way into the ogre stronghold.

The ogre's dwelling resembled a vast refuge heap.

The encampment was replete with greasy muck and murky waters adorned with the heads of various creatures impaled on wooden stakes displayed like boastful banners in the air.

As they dismantled the tents and collected the hides within, it became evident that aside from the animal skins strewn across the ground, there was not a single bed or valuable item to be found.

The skeletons diligently followed orders, methodically dismantling the crude shelters and bringing the assorted hides outside.

Fong Hao continued his search, certain that a stronghold of such formidable seventh tier beings could not lack treasure.

As he and his skeletal companions scoured the area and dismantled tents, they finally uncovered a golden treasure chest hidden beneath the ruins of the last tent near a crumbling wall.

Funha took a deep breath and directly opened the golden treasure chest.

Acquired blueprint for stone processing plant green.

Blueprint for troll brewing barrel blue.

11 troll stones.

120 warfire coins.

The ogre's golden treasure chest proved to be quite generous.

It unexpectedly yielded a green building blueprint and a blue crafting blueprint.

Stone processing plant with 2200 stone 1,800 thatch 550 leather 320 hemp rope 400.

Description: Through processing, mine stones can be crafted into neatly shaped bricks.

Hooray.

Upon reading the description, Fonggha's heart leapt with joy.

The stagnation of all constructions was due to a lack of stone bricks.

Reluctantly, he had assigned all labor skeletons, say for those in special positions, to Enwwind Fortress, to dismantle houses for the bricks.

The progress of this endeavor was exceedingly slow.

Now, having acquired the blueprint for the stone processing plant, he could arrange for workers to commence brick production upon his return, he continued to examine the second blueprint.

This was the first blue blueprint he had obtained from a treasure chest.

Troll Brewing Barrel.

Wood 120, hardwood plank 50, metal parts 22, iron 5, iron plate 12.

Essence of wine 2.

Description: A colossal barrel crafted by wine-loving trolls, which can produce authentic alcoholic beverages simply by adding ingredients and clean water.

Goodness.

With this brewing barrel, he could indeed open a tavern just by adding raw materials and water.

It would automatically transform into alcoholic drinks.

How convenient.

Currently in the territory, Eier was in charge of food production and her skills were commendable.

However, they were still drinking boiled water daily.

He had often reminisced about the taste of beverages.

This brewing barrel could resolve their drink dilemmas, though he was uncertain about the flavor of the resulting liquor and whether it would suit human pallets.

After reviewing the blueprint details, he continued to inspect the troll stones.

troll stone category or description.

A rare mineral imbued with the frenzy beliefs of trolls.

Yet another special or he decided to store it away.

Regardless of its future utility after examining the rewards, the skeletons had completed their task.

The battlefield was cleared and the stronghold had been thoroughly leveled.

The scattered bones were also buried by the skeletons in freshly dug graves.

Load the cart and bring back all the spoils, especially the ogre's corpse," Fonhao commanded loudly.

The ogre's demise had resulted in the drop of 12 writhing vertebrae.

Moreover, Fonhao had a particular fondness for these ogre corpses.

As long as he could toss the ogre corpses into the skeleton transformation site, he would acquire a troop type nearly 3 m tall.

At that time, he could recruit them by consuming the writhing vertebrae.

The skeletons swiftly loaded the cart and secured the cargo with hemp rope.

The main force laden with all the spoils began their return to the territory.

Unhindered, the procession made its way back to the territory.

Fonhao emerged from the lord's cabin, having dispelled the divine state.

He first cataloged the two acquired blueprints and deposited 120 war coins into his treasury.

He then began directing the skeletons to categorize the spoils.

The remains of 50 ogres were cast into the skeleton transformation pool for conversion.

Perhaps due to the ogre's elevated rank or their tough hides.

Each transformation took a full 10 minutes.

Seizing the opportunity while the corpses were being processed, Funghow proceeded to inspect the resource storage area, reviewing the collection of stone bricks.

Through the relentless efforts of the skeletons, the quantity of stone bricks had reached 127 units.

Indeed, constructing such items was no simple task.

Fortunately, Fongo had obtained a blueprint for a stone processing factory.

In the industrial zone he had previously designated, he chose a vacant plot to construct the factory.

A flash of light signal the completion of the building after 10 minutes.

Stone processing factory workers 05.

Materials: Stone 2 production stone bricks.

description.

Through processing, minds can be crafted into uniform bricks.

Fongghao promptly selected five skeletons.

Three willingly entered the processing factory, while the remaining two went to the warehouse to deliver the stones.

Once the factory completed its processing, the first ogre corpse in the skeleton transformation yard successfully transformed.

Funha immediately approached to examine its attributes.

Skeleton ogre, fifth rank.

The skeletal ogre.
