While smaller clans had yet to earn the privilege to partake in this council, nodding in agreement with Beagot's assertions, the others shared a mutual apprehension that should they succeed in toppling the bloodthroats, Rockhead might emerge as a second tyrant.
Naturally, if Chieft Bagget has reached such a conclusion, we are inclined to follow your lead.
One troll stated thoughtfully, "Indeed, it is settled.
" Then, "Should anyone waver at the crucial moment, do not blame me for my lack of courtesy.
" By cautioned in a cold tone, "Of course, of course.
" The four chieftains nodded vigorously.
As the trolls deliberated, Su Yang quietly sat to the side.
Aligned with the Rockhead tribe, he served as a contractor, leading villagers in the extraction of various resources for the trolls.
During this period, Su Yang had assisted Bett significantly, gradually earning the chieftain's trust, which allowed him to attend this meeting as an observer.
Though Su Yang appeared somewhat distracted, he attentively recorded their plans.
He understood that his alliance with the trolls could not endure indefinitely.
Once he ceased to prove his worth, or if the campaign against the Bloodthroats faltered, he would likely be the first to perish.
Thus, he resolved to seize this opportunity to lead his people away from the control of the Rockhead tribe, ideally escaping the Blood Mountains altogether to seek refuge in human cities.
Well, let us settle the matter for now, and when the time comes, we shall launch an attack on bloodthroat.
By remarked, his gaze falling upon Su Yang.
Upon hearing Betett call his name, Suyang<unk>s body quivered slightly.
Ah, Chief Bet, you summon me.
Indeed, increase the resource extraction.
I require provisions sufficient for 50,000 individuals.
Understood, Chief Bet.
I shall find a way, Su Yang replied respectfully.
yet inwardly cursed be its ancestors for generations.
50,000 people's rations.
How could he possibly procure such a quantity? However, Su Yang found himself in a bind.
The situation at Rockhead had grown increasingly tense, and given the trolls propensity for cannibalism, he dared not refuse.
Well, then, everyone, return and prepare.
As the assembly exited the chief's hall of the Rockhead tribe, Su Yong silently made his way back, contemplating the need to expedite his escape plan.
Meanwhile, in the territory, Fongo had finished his dinner when he received a message from Tong Yo, those who had journeyied to the Tasco orc city had returned.
Bringing with them the latest news, Fongo invoked the divine presence and descended upon the skeleton of the bullhead city, he proceeded to the chief's hall, listening intently as the returning centators recounted the situation in Tasco City.
My lord, chief, the population of Tasco City is considerable, and the law and order within the city is relatively sound when the centaurs began.
Tasco City lies to the east of the territory, even farther than the webw weaver camp.
Establishing a shop in Tasco presents challenges, including the journey and the bandits along the way.
Are there any requirements for opening a shop? Fungho interlocked his fingers across his chest.
There are no specific requirements.
One may purchase a shop and decide what to sell at their discretion.
Is it permissible to sell weapons and equipment? Yes, weaponry is in high demand within the city.
I observed several tribes arriving with cards to buy in bulk and there are no prohibitions against it.
The centur pondered before continuing.
In contrast, Plural City and Ley City have stringent restrictions on iron goods.
Even mercenaries face strict regulations regarding bows and crossbows, let alone the establishment of weapon shops and the mass sale of arms.
However, the Orc cities are quite liberal regarding this matter with weapons and equipment being particularly sought after.
Very well, Tong Yo.
You shall oversee the shop arrangements.
Secure locations for a weapon shop, tavern, and clothing store, and expedite the opening process.
Fong how decisively instructed.
Certainly, my lord, but there is the issue of bandits along the transport route.
Tong Yo interjected again.
The distance for transport is considerable, and trouble is likely to arise.
I shall devise a plan for that.
You need not worry, Fongghao assured, already formulating a preliminary strategy.
Between Bullhead City and Tasco City lies the Webw Weaver camp, where he could delegate safety concerns to Domina or utilize the camp as a transit station.
The Bone Dragon was transported to the Weaver's camp to be subsequently transferred to Targo City.
I understand, my lord.
I shall depart tomorrow to establish the shop in Targo City.
Copper Bull nodded an affirmation.
If there are any developments, maintain contact through the soundcock.
Yes, my lord.
After clarifying matters with Copperbull, Fongghao also lifted the divine presence.
The night outside had deepened considerably.
After a brief indulgence in the hot springs, he returned to his room to rest.
As dawn broke, Fong Hao completed his morning exercises.
He summoned several skeletons to tidy up the rooms in the three- tiered tower and transported four exquisitely carved bookshelves inside.
The tower was a newly added structure to the eighth level lord's estate.
Fong Hao took a glance.
The room was hexagonal with decent lighting.
In recent days, he had acquired several unusual books and intended to convert this room into a study.
Henceforth, any noteworthy books or notes would be stored here to avoid the chaos of misplaced items.
After a flurry of activity, the bookshelves and desk were positioned accordingly.
The books were organized by category, instantly imparting an intellectual ambiencece to the space.
One day, he would ask Rebecca for a few oil paintings to adorn the room, enhancing its scholarly atmosphere.
Sitting at the desk, he picked up the notes on the demon doll acquired yesterday, examining the translatable text and illustrations.
The notes contained a plethora of alchemical terminology, which Fong Hao comprehended only partially, leaving his mind somewhat overwhelmed.
Before long, Eer called out to Fong Ha to come downstairs for a meal.
At 9:00, Fong Hao, accompanied by Anja, riding the bone dragon, arrived at Fulay's fishing village.
Although referred to as a fishing village, it had attained the standards of a level five city, rivaling that of Plur City in scale.
The bone dragon, hovering above, released the skeletal giant fish onto an open area in the city center.
Skeletal benthic giant fish.
This benthic giant fish, a large species guarding the iron coffin at the bottom of the Huya Highlands, was even larger than a shark.
After being completely slain by Dimitika at the lakes's bottom, the corpses were directly discarded into the transformation site.
Today, Fongghow intended to visit the transformation site as well and saw four transformed giant fish skeletons floundering beside it, having been in this state for an unknown number of days.
Boss, what is this? Fule exclaimed, his eyes widening at the sight of the enormous skeletal fish.
Earlier that morning, Foule had sent Fong how a private message expressing concern over the supply of fish due to the opening of the hot pot restaurant in Lysa City.
He noted that they could only sustain supplies for five more days before facing shortages, limiting them to supply for a single city's hot pot restaurant.
Just after discussing this, he was now confronted with several such massive skeletal fish.
These can't possibly be some sharks fished out, can they? They are enormous.
Skeletal fish? Fonggha replied.
Yes, I understand they're skeletal fish, but what purpose do they serve? Fule asked, stepping back involuntarily as he regarded the writhing skeletal fish.
Patience you'll soon understand.
Fonhow reassured him.
Behind him, several skeletal blacksmiths descended, removing a metal-framed fishing net from the skeletal dragon.
Utilizing pre-prepared metal clasps, they secured it within the hollow chest of the skeletal fish, transforming it into a predatory fishing net.
As the first one was completed, fool grass fong house ingenious concept.
This skeletal fish once it captured prey would ins snare the fish within its belly net and subsequently deliver the caught fish to the shore.
Boss, you truly conceive this? Foule could not help but extend a thumb in admiration.
Such an idea, even if conceived by others, would be exceedingly difficult to realize.
Let's test its effectiveness first.
If it works, I can procure over a hundred more for you, Fongo replied with a smile.
Indeed, the yield should pose no issue.
Then, Fulay wiped the sweat from his brow.
Before long, the abdomen of the four skeletal giant fish were equipped with the skeletal nets.
