Upon upgrading the Lord's hall to level six, two additional bedrooms are added and the area of the existing rooms is also expanded.

At this point, from external perspective, it resembles a small castle.

Chapter 155.

The unknown camp.

The expansion of the stone tower is merely one aspect.

What truly captivates Fong How is the enhancement of attributes provided by the level six Lord Stone Tower.

Compared to level five, all attributes have increased by 1%.

After upgrading the Lord stone tower, Fungho proceeded to elevate the warehouse, city walls, and arrow towers, structures that could be improved without the need for shadow stones, advancing them all to level six.

He endeavored to bolster the overall might of his domain.

Having completed the upgrades, he enjoyed a delightful dinner, sipping on a couple of glasses of tempered fruit wine under the moonlight before returning to his chamber for a restful slumber.

The following morning dawned bright and sunny.

After adhering to his daily morning exercise routine, he resumed his work for the day.

Good morning, master, greeted ear as she approached.

Good morning.

Why didn't you sleep in a bit longer? Fangha responded amicably.

Eair rose early each day, maintaining her routine regardless of breakfast timing, presenting a stark contrast to the lazy master.

I have just assigned tasks to the newly arrived fox people.

One is responsible for managing the cellar of the lord's manor, while the other four are tasked with maintaining cleanliness within the territory.

Just as she finished speaking, a fox girl, already clad in a maid's outfit, emerged from the staircase leading to the cellar of the Lord's Hall.

Her ears and tail were pure white.

She was indeed a white fox.

Upon her acquisition, all the foxes had been dirty, and this particular white fox had gone unnoticed.

Seeing Fong, how and e air in conversation, the fox girl hesitated in her steps.

Appearing ready to retreat, but ultimately faltering.

With her head bowed, she approached them timidly.

"Good morning, master and sister Eir," she greeted, taking the initiative.

"Yes, good morning.

" Though busy, do not forget to have breakfast, Fongghao advised.

The other maids did not dine with Fong Hao and Eir, but adhere to a fixed meal schedule.

"Missing it would mean waiting until noon for their next meal.

" "Oh, thank you, master.

I will be on my way now, she replied, lowering her head and swiftly whisking away with her large tail trailing behind her, observing the hasty retreat of the fox girl.

Funha glanced at Eir with a hint of exasperation.

Was he truly that intimidating? Master, there's a new order.

Duo Gene interjected as he approached.

Joining the merchant alliance is indeed advantageous as new orders appear daily, effectively bringing in revenue.

Let me see what this order entails.

Fongghao replied.

Duo Gene handed over the order.

Order requirement 10 pieces of silver thread silk alchemy robes.

Transaction rewards 10 0000 warfire coins, one stamina enhancement potion, 10 alchemy guild influence points.

Wow.

Aside from the warfire coins, the payment also includes a stamina enhancement potion.

Although the order alone did not reveal the properties of the stamina enhancement potion, its name suggested intriguing possibilities.

After all, the reason he could now learn magic was due to consuming a potion known as the mana enhancement potion.

However, he does not possess the blueprint for the silken alchemical robe.

Do gene, do we have the blueprint for this order? Is it available in the merchant alliance store? Fungho inquired.

My lord, I specifically checked the store before coming and it is not available.

If necessary, we could fill out an order.

Perhaps we might acquire the blueprint, Duo Gene suggested.

Forget it.

You may return for now.

Inform me of any new orders.

Understood.

My lord, Duo Gene replied before departing.

After a busy morning, I had prepared breakfast.

Once they had eaten, a group of pigmen arrived at the territory equipped with various tools.

My lord, the pigman greeted.

The leader was not Bolton, but rather another middle-aged pigman.

The purpose of your summons should have been conveyed by Petty.

You are not required to work.

Simply oversee the skeletons as they lay the stone slabs according to the map.

Fong Howo addressed all the pigmen.

Yesterday, Fonhow crafted a large quantity of stone slabs.

In addition to paving within the territory, he also intended to connect two subordinate cities and a village.

The pigmen need only direct the skeletons, ensuring the roads are properly established.

If left solely to the skeletons, the paths might not lead correctly.

Rest assure, my lord, we will ensure the task is completed, the pigmen assured loudly.

Laying the roads was not particularly challenging, especially since they were not required to labor.

This was certainly more relaxing than remaining in the pigman village.

Here is the map.

You may all confirm it before commencing your work.

Understood, my lord.

Subsequently, the pigmen alongside the laboring skeletons began their tasks, laying down the ground of the territory.

After assigning the pigmen their duties, Fong House summoned his troops.

According to plan, he intended to explore the newly acquired map of the cave camp.

Following the integration with the Lord Esbook map, the location had appeared on the Grand Map.

This site was situated to the southeast of the territory, further south of the Shadow Fortress.

After counting 50,000 troops waiting outside the territory, Fong Ho returned to his chamber and invoked the divine presence, the Grand Procession departed from the territory, heading toward their destination, Fongo controlled the skeleton warriors.

Reclining on a cart beside his black iron knights sword and black Iron Kite shield, the soldiers equipment had been comprehensively upgraded, and the obsolete gear was sold through various channels.

As the army advanced, having traversed a considerable distance, the sound of galloping hooves echoed ahead, while Fongo idly fiddled with the dirt wedged in shield seam.

The rhythmic thuds of hooves grew nearer.

The absence of an attack from the skeleton army indicated that it was the cavalry scouts deployed for reconnaissance.

Fong Hao, we have captured a scout up ahead.

It appears to be a lookout.

Anja<unk>s voice rang out.

An Xiao was mounted on a robust steed and behind her was a human tightly bound.

His face marred with bruises, his left eye swollen to a mere slit.

My lord, my lord, I am not a scout.

I'm not a scout.

The man protested loudly.

A man was thrown before Fong How, gazing at the soul burning eyes of the spectral figure before him.

The man trembled slightly, yet it must be said that he exhibited a measure of courage, refraining from any overt signs of panic.

Human warrior, fourth rank, Fongghow inquired.

Pray tell, who are you? They had already ventured into the desolate woods, devoid of any proper roads.

Ordinary folk would not find themselves in such a place, particularly alone.

I am a merchant from a nearby city, waiting for my caravan, my lord.

If you would be so gracious as to release me, I would be willing to offer you some remuneration," the man replied, displaying a certain fortitude in the face of Fong Ho and his legions of countless undead, including a skeletal dragon.

He sought to answer the question while simultaneously negotiating for his freedom.

"What kind of merchant are you, and what do you primarily trade?" Funho pressed.
