A chieftain of the orc tribe stepped forward, seeking to justify himself and his kin.

Spare me your paddle and return to your place.

Fong Ho coldly rebuked.

The orc chieftain trembled, recoiling slightly, and returned to the ranks.

Fongo surveyed the assembly of orcs and proclaimed loudly, "I am aware of the events concerning the Skull Crush tribe, and I understand your intentions.

" According to the customs of the orcs, those defeated in battle become my slaves.

This should be clear to all of you.

Among the Orc tribes, mutual plundering was common place.

Defeat often meant becoming the property of the victor, which is precisely why orc slave traders thrived.

The grounds were littered with fleeing, defeated orcs with the right information.

One could capture a multitude of slaves from obliterated tribes.

My lord, did you not just state that if Chieftain Taro agreed to sign a contract, we would be released? The chieftain murmured.

I said I would not kill you.

Fungho replied, narrowing his eyes at the orc.

Why do you speak so much? Chapter 136.

The purple hero.

All the orcs were shackled and placed under unified custody.

Fongghao promised not to kill them.

Naturally, as the defeated party, they would have to work for him to atone for their transgressions.

Soon, Enja returned with a procession of skeletons.

Fun how this old bull is indeed wealthy.

And Ja remarked as several skeletons followed her, each pair carrying a chest brimming with glimmering coins.

Among these were battlefire coins, but more notably beast head gold, the common currency among the orc tribes.

Acquired battlefire coins 271 455 beast head gold 355 451.

Goodness, the copper bull truly possesses considerable wealth.

Fong mused.

Upon reflection, it made sense.

Having operated in this market for many years, the copper bull must have amassed a substantial reserve of currency.

Just from the two transactions fong how I conducted with the copper bowl, each dealt with sums reaching tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of battlefire coins.

His wealth was astonishing.

As for the remaining items, Fongghao had no intention of taking them.

Once he confirmed the Mana market as an affiliated village in the Lord's book, all resources would be shared with the main city, eliminating the need for tedious transportation.

Tail Fungho called out.

The copper bull Tac approached and glanced at the chests of coins on the ground, revealing no discernable emotion.

At this point, even if he was unwilling, he had no recourse.

He had already failed and could not retain the coins.

Lord Fong Ha, the Copper Bull said respectfully.

Although the contract had yet to be signed, according to their agreement, Tailac would henceforth be considered a hero under Fongo's command.

Holding an equal status to Injia and addressing him as lord was only fitting.

Leave the elderly and weak among your kin.

The rest of the orcs shall accompany me to the territory, Fongo instructed.

Understood.

I will attend to it immediately, Tok replied without hesitation.

Manom required a garrison.

So Fong Ho decided to leave the elderly and young of the Taran tribe to guard Manim, providing Tok with assurance that they would not face undue hardship.

As for the other orcs, those who had made their way here were all robust and capable of battle.

There was no presence of the elderly or young among them.

Once Tok had given the necessary instructions, the large group set forth once more, escorting a multitude of orcs towards Jeang Bin City.

Having delegated all responsibilities, Fong Hao promptly released the divine state.

Opening the lord's book, he saw a message from Jeang Bin.

Boss, I have arrived at this city and mister.

Fireblade has also returned riding a bone dragon.

After joining, Jeang Bin had shifted his address from big shot to boss, bringing a touch of camaraderie.

Very well.

Focus on your development and ensure the food production of the affiliated village.

Fongo replied, "Sure thing, boss.

I will do my utmost not to disappoint you.

Zambin respond vi the current territory or rather it could not yet be referred to as a territory.

It was more aptly described as an affiliated city.

The current subordinate city he inhabits surpasses his previous one significantly.

Its agricultural development is thriving ensuring that sustenance will never be a concern.

Additionally, with the formidable support of Fong Hao, he need not worry about any adversaries seeking to trouble him.

As long as he refrains from courting disaster and provoking Fong Ho, he could develop safely, far better than in his former remote local.

Upon concluding their conversation, the Book of Lords presented a new notification.

The village of Manom has become your secondary city's affiliated village, allowing you to rename it and access all resources within.

Similar to the situation with the pigman village, the book of lords transformed the mana market into an affiliated village.

At this juncture, upon releasing the book of lords, he could assess the resources of the mana market.

In the future, Fongo could execute any necessary actions directly through the book of lords, utilizing the resources from various secondary cities and their affiliated villages.

New blueprint unlocked.

Tavern construction blueprint.

Tavern blueprint.

Building description, gather secrets, commission investigations, collect maps.

There is no intelligence a tavern cannot uncover, provided you ensure that patrons frequent your establishment.

After examining the tavern's attributes, Fong House scratched his head.

He had initially presumed the tavern would serve to recruit heroes, only to discover it was primarily for gathering intelligence.

He had indeed procured several maps from passing merchant caravans while at the tavern and had explored various locations, reaping some rewards.

However, this tavern appeared to hold little significance for his main city.

The capital was entirely populated by the undead, and not a single outsider was present to share news.

It was evident that a tavern needed to be situated in an area with a foreign populace to be effective.

After waiting within the city for a while, the returning caravan from the mana market finally entered.

All the orcs beheld Fong How in person, a young human who, despite lacking in physical might, commanded powerful undead, a sight that was utterly astonishing.

Taro, let us finalize the contract.

Fong House stated, approaching the Copper Bull and opening the Book of Lords.

Within its pages lay a violet hero contract purchased during the previous visit of the skeleton merchant to the territory.

In essence, this hero scroll had salvaged Tower Rock as fate.

Without it, he would have been doomed to become a mere obedient skeletal hero.

As the contract was presented before him, the Copper Bull did not hesitate.

He swiftly drew blood from his finger and pressed his handprint onto the contract.

A radiant light emanated from the document merging with the copper bull as form.

The contract was thus fulfilled.

Copper bull to rock.

Your current loyalty stands at 65.

The contract imposed a binding rule.

Towok could neither betray nor cause harm to Fongo.

This regulation was far more sophisticated than any modern contract.

Copper bull towok purple tier five hero.
