The system sbook could incorporate it eliminating the need to carry around a single page that could easily be lost.

Collect the demon codeex transformed into a beam of light and entered the lord's book.

Fongghao immediately opened the lord's book which now featured an additional page titled demon space named after the ability derived from the demon codeex.

On the page to the right was a model of an empty room while the left displayed a series of tabulated data.

How does this operate? He pondered as he approached a wooden table contemplating the collection process.

The wooden table remained before him, not yet integrated into the demon's space.

Could it be ineffective? Fong persisted, placing his hand on the wooden table and again focusing on the act of collection.

The table vanished into thin air only to reappear in the model of the room depicted on the page a moment later.

Chapter 237.

Troubles in the village after the recent experiment.

Fongo comprehended the operational methods of the demon space.

It became evident that one could not summon objects merely through thought.

Physical contact was imperative.

This aligns well with the characteristics of the Lord tome as whether consuming the Lord tome of another or utilizing a recording scroll.

Physical interaction is required to actualize the process.

The same principle applies to the storage of items.

The specifics of the storage space were not disclosed.

However, by observing the wooden table placed within, one could surmise that it is a rectangular space approximately 5 m long and 4 m wide.

This resembles the area within the demon stone cave where the desk was situated with dimensions are not dissimilar.

In essence, it resembles a small room of over 20 square meters with a height nearing 3 m.

One may arrange the contents as desired.

Yet, living beings and units cannot be stored within.

Were it possible, utilizing this feature for abductions would undoubtedly be highly convenient.

My lord, the defensive arrangements have been delegated and a force of 100,000 will remain under Terry's command.

Dmitri approached.

Terry followed closely behind, assuring, "My lord, rest assured I will guard the fortress diligently.

" "Indeed, I trust you, Terry," Fongha replied.

After assigning all tasks, the three began their return to the territory, though the day had not yet grown late.

It was around 3 or 4:00 and considering the journey home, it was likely nearing dinner time.

Upon returning to the main city, Eier had prepared dinner.

The group gathered to eat while Injiao passionately recounted the grand battle against the mud monster.

The scene was so magnificent it could have been likened to a celestial clash.

Fong Ha's eyes widened had he not been present.

He might have almost believed that Injia had indeed battled the mud monster for so many rounds.

Meanwhile, Dimmitri remained silent, not debunking in Jia's tale, but rather listening with great interest.

Ding.

At that moment, the Lord's to emitted a notification for a private message.

Upon opening it, Fonha discovered a message from Jeang Bin.

They now possessed a territory channel where conversations did not consume chat quotas.

However, both Jang Bin and Fu Lelay still preferred private messaging when discussing matters pertaining to the cities under Fong House jurisdiction.

This practice was commendable as it maintained the confidentiality of each city within the territory.

Boss, today we secured two affiliated villages, Jeang Bin communicated the inclusion of the Cold Wind Mountains had suddenly intensified the food scarcity within the territory.

He had inquired with Shaman Clay who indicated that the trib's own provisions could sustain them for a month should they not receive food within that time.

The Cold Wind Mountains would revert to their former state of interian conflict with tribes vying for resources.

Fong Hao having recognized the mineral wealth of the Cold Wind Mountains had also promised to provide sustenance and was determined to fulfill this commitment.

He had already enlisted the help of merchant Tavk to connect with food suppliers while Jeang Bin was actively seeking provisions and striving to recruit affiliated villages.

They were doing exceptionally well.

Fong Hao offered a compliment though there was little he could reward him with "Thank you, boss.

" Jeang Bin continued, "By the way, I promise to arrange troop deployments in the village, but the forces within the city are rather insufficient.

" This was the crux of Jeang Bin's concerns.

The lack of manpower was pressing and Fong Hao had yet to grant him the authority to recruit.

"All right, I'll visit you tomorrow morning to recruit some troops and also to change the equipment," Funha replied.

Jeang Bin<unk>s territory possessed a rather limited variety of units with only militia and heavy sword infantry available for recruitment for the city's defense.

He could station some of the undead units that Fong Ho had left him.

However, the undead could not be deployed in the subordinate village as it might incite panic.

Having recently taken control of the village if he stationed some undead there and the villagers fled the next day, it would pose a significant problem.

Hence, it was essential to station human units.

Moreover, the buildings in Fongous territory had already been transformed into undead architecture, making it impossible for Jeang Bin to unlock any construction options.

Well then, I want tea disturbed to rest any longer, Jeang Bin said politely.

Yes, you should also rest early.

Health is the foundation of all endeavors, Fong Hao replied.

Understood, boss.

After closing the chat with Jeang Bin, Fong Hao resumed his meal, listening to Injia as she recounted another story seemingly about her childhood encounters with orc children.

The following day after breakfast, Fongghao rode his bone dragon to recruit some heavy sword infantry for Jeang Bin, intending to bolster the defenses of the subordinate village.

Upon his return, he continued to inspect his territory, checking for any areas that required his attention.

Everyone was diligently occupied with their tasks, from the skeletal craftsmen to the prosperous skeletal merchants, each fulfilling their roles.

After a thorough inspection, Fong Ho began to prepare for the day's plans.

He still had a map from the tavern in hand, which marked another village.

The surprise from yesterday's demon's grimoir fragment had filled Fong Hao with anticipation, and he hoped that today's village would yield a rewarding outcome as well.

He summoned in Jia and Deit Jia and set off directly.

After a brief stop at the fortress to gather 10 heavy sword infantry, they proceeded toward their destination.

The village was located to the west of Pearl City.

The path was somewhat winding and despite not carrying any burdens.

They walked for nearly an hour.

From a distance, the outline of the village became visible.

Villagers were entering and exiting at the village gate, and there were sentinels stationed at top the walls.

It resembled a small fortress.

Upon noticing Fongo's party, the sentinels immediately tensed and the village gates swiftly closed with more guards climbing walls.

"It seems we are not particularly welcomed," Fonha remarked softly upon witnessing the scene.

The arrows are already knocked.

"It's more than just a lack of welcome," and Jiao observed, glancing at the guards on the wall.

At this moment, the number of individuals at top the village's defensive wall increased, culminating in the arrival of a heavily armored giant.

His gaze swept over Fong How and his companions who were beyond the range of his sight.

Who are you? Someone on the wall shouted loudly.

Inform him that the village has issued a bounty, indicating there is trouble here, and we have come to offer our assistance.

Funha responded.

A nearby heavy sword infantryman stepped forward and proclaimed, "You need not be alarmed.

We received the village's bounty at the tavern and have come to help.

" The infantrymen's words momentarily stirred confusion among those on the wall.

Although their conversations were inaudible, it was evident they were in discussion, some exhibiting signs of anger.

Shortly thereafter, another voice called out, "Oh, thank you, but we can handle this ourselves.

" The village is currently unable to accommodate guests, so please take your leave.

Despite the words spoken, the arrows perched on their bows remain drawn.

A constant vigilance directed towards Fong Ha's group.

"All right, tell him we shall take our leave," Fongo remarked, casting a penetrating glance at the figures at top the wall.

The heavy sword infantrymen shouted again, "Very well, we shall not intrude further.

" With that, the group turned and began to retrace their steps.

Along the way, and Jia spoke up, "These individuals do not resemble villagers.

They exude a bandit-like aura.

" Upon hearing this, Fongghao also perceived that they did not appear to be virtuous individuals.
