Following her gesture, Fonggha beheld hundreds of burly men wielding various tools, diligently clearing the river.

"You brought them here to dig the river?" Fong Hao was taken back, increasing the depth and width of the river had been Fong Hao's previous suggestion, intended to ensure that the wooden bridge in front of the fortress became the sole entrance.

Originally, he had planned for the skeletons to undertake the excavation, but with a multitude of tasks over the past few days, he had not given it much thought, and Jia surprisingly recalled the situation, even bringing the mountain bandits along to serve as laborers.

Isn't it a bit excessive to kill them? Let them work instead.

And Jar remarked, "This notion seemed somewhat reasonable, bringing those tens of thousands of rebellious soldiers to labor with a task duration of 12 hours.

They would toil until the task conclusion, at which point they would vanish, alleviating the need for sustenance while accomplishing a significant amount of work.

It appeared to be an entirely profitable endeavor.

They appeared because he brought them.

" Fonggho inquired with curiosity, and Jia settled onto a nearby wooden crate, resembling a foreman overseeing the industrious mountain bandits below.

Not quite.

They emerged quite a shouting and claiming their numerical superiority, challenging me to a duel.

And then, Fonho prompted, "Then I dealt with their leaders, thoroughly defeating the likes of their number one and number two, after which they became considerably more compliant.

" and Jiao responded calmly, gesturing toward a robust figure in iron armor, their face marred with bruises, presumably the leader, she mentioned.

All right, keep a close watch on them and ensure no disturbances arise.

Rest assured, she replied, Fongghao nodded and disengaged from the divine state.

Confirming in Jia's safety, he began to examine the acquired blueprints.

Should all materials be available for crafting, he might attempt to create some stone golem constructs to bolster their combat prowess.

Basic golem head, five iron, two cast iron blocks, 12 metal parts, eight precision parts.

Chapter 246.

Announcement of the top three.

Basic body of the gargoyle.

Iron 15 cast iron blocks 8 metal parts 42.

Precision parts 17.

Basic arms of the gargoyle.

Basic legs of the gargoyle.

The material requirements for the gargoyle's basic body are not particularly demanding.

Fongo possesses all the necessary resources.

However, upon examining the stone armor of the gargoyle, he discovered a material he lacked known as the carve stone slab.

Headstone armor, cast iron blocks 2, carve stone slab 1, myithil 2, magical essence 1, body stone armor, cast iron blocks 18, carve stone slab 8, myithil 10, magical essence 5.

In addition to the basic body, the gargoyle requires stone armor for its torso.

During his time in the ancient tomb of little ghost, he noted the formidable defensive capabilities of the gargoyle stone armor.

Armed with a first tier skeleton soldier, his iron sword merely struck sparks when it clashed against the armor.

Even the blue hero Ania had to exert considerable effort to breach the stone armor.

This clearly indicates that the defensive strength of the gargoyle's armor is substantial, even surpassing that of conventional iron armor, which Fong Ha finds quite valuable.

Moreover, there's a second point that Fongo has calculated.

If crafting components such as arms and torso triggers a 100fold enhancement, then synthesizing these components into the gargoyle would yield yet another 100fold augmentation, resulting in a staggering multiplication of effects.

The potential for summoning troops may indeed rival that of the skeleton soldiers.

Should he approach the alliance to submit the design for the carved stone slab for this weak s order? However, it remains uncertain whether the carved stone slab is a finished product or merely a blueprint.

The stone processing factory likely has a higher probability of producing finished goods.

Klopp clop kop.

The sound of approaching footsteps and the clanking of armor echoed outside the lord's manor.

Soon after, Domigus drove in, cradling his helmet.

My lord, the rebels have been eradicated and we have recovered a substantial amount of weaponry and writhing spines.

Domiga reported.

Well done, Ditiga.

Fongghao praised.

Domiga's addition significantly bolstered the strength of the territory.

My lord, we also discovered this.

He handed Fongghow an item resembling a badge.

The metallic insignia was shaped like a shield emlazed with a design of a war horn.

Valiant horn orange emblem.

Category emblem ability wearable emblem humans war horn attributes 100 description in humanity's dark age they united and dawned the valiant horn noble belief sacred barrier sharp spike and just truth to defend against foreign races and safeguard the last dignity of humankind in this land each race possesses its strengths and characteristics yet humanity appears remarkably fragile before both the orcs and the ogres One finds oneself in a state of utter disadvantage.

It appears that humanity once endured a period of profound darkness from which they emerged through unity and struggle securing the space in which they now survive.

The terms heroic horn, noble belief, sacred barrier, sharp spike, and just truth mentioned in the description likely represent distinct emblems, each capable of augmenting various attributes.

It can be asserted that these emblems hold significance for humanity that far surpasses the mere abilities they confer.

Yet it remains a mystery how they came to be in the hands of the insurgents.

Perhaps they are the subordinates of the emblem bearers.

Or did they acquire them through other means? For the adversary, these details are inconsequential.

The attributes of the emblems are commendable and only humans can dawn them, making it a valuable piece of equipment for him.

As time gradually slipped away, the sky darkened.

The system notification chimed once more, "Congratulations, esteemed lords.

" The random event unexpected guests has concluded.

Next, we shall announce the top three items obtained based on the comprehensive scoring of acquired artifacts.

With the random event at an end, the remaining attackers sounded the retreat horn, vanishing upon their return to the original encampment.

Meanwhile, those who emerged victorious had already claimed their rewards from the fallen foes.

The top three are as follows.

First place, heroic horn, orange quality, held by Fong Ho.

Second place, Alliance token, purple quality, held by UTM.

Third place, Gargoyle Construct Blueprint, blue quality, held by Fongghao.

The system notification concluded, igniting fervent discussions in the channel.

Wow, Fong Hao is incredible.

His position remains unshaken.

I acknowledge that Fonga deserves first place.

But why are both first and third is I'm so envious.

I possess a purple necklace yet to even make the third spot.

This is unacceptable.

I shall contact customer service.

I called customer service and Fong Ho answered.

He asked where my territory is.

I've never heard of you Ton Pong, a new contender nearly surpassing Fong Hao.

How can purple surpass orange? Yet Utian Pong is indeed formidable.

Everyone praised Fong Hao and lauded UT.

As the two remained silent, the flattery gradually subsided.

I don't envy the two great lords.

I possess a green hero recruitment scroll which yielded a green elf hero, pointed ears, voluuptuous figure.

You understand? Instantly, I cease to envy them.

I too desire such a lure.

I envy those with women.

Here I can't even capture a single female unicorn.

Subsequently, the lord who had recruited the female hero shared numerous photographs from various angles in the channel, drawing a chorus of admiration.

Your woman is splendid.

Fongghao observed the chat channel without participating in the ongoing discussions yet his attention was fixated on UT.

Although Fong Hao had no particular impression of this individual, one detail piqued his interest.

Indeed, this Utampong is on his blacklist.

This implies that either he has verbally assaulted him within the channel or he was once a member of theQing Long Mutual Aid Alliance.

The latter is more likely.

The individual ranked second may very well be a potential adversary.

Of course, this is merely a matter of slight concern for Fong Ha to avoid being caught offguard by a rabbit he does not particularly care about.

At that moment, Anja returned.

As she stepped through the gates of the Lord's manor, she exclaimed her hunger, accusing Fong Hao of mistreating her.
