Eventually, she learned that this fruit was called Hongwa and adopted the name for herself, hoping to enjoy it daily in the future.

Well, is indeed a pleasant name.

Do you have knowledge of herbalism and literacy? Upon hearing Fong Ho's compliment, Hungu's expression brightened.

Master, I am somewhat familiar with both, she replied eagerly.

Good.

I have a notebook on temple herbalism here.

You should study it, Fongghao continued.

Herbalism may not possess the potency of alchemical potions, yet it holds its own significance.

The acolytes within the temple employ herbalism to heal the town's people.

While it may not necessitate the establishment of a temple, setting up apothecaries in each city could enhance the survival rate of the populace.

Understood.

Master, the maid stepped forward to accept the notebook.

Very well.

You may return now.

Be sure to soak in the hot springs and eat more meat.

Being too slender is not beneficial, Fong Hao advised, mindful of her frail physique.

Thank you, master.

I will take care, Hongwis said, bowing once more before slowly exiting the room.

Standing outside the door, she inhaled deeply, allowing herself a moment of calm before glancing at the notebook in her hands and sprinting excitedly towards her quarters.

After bidding farewell to Hongwa, Fong Hao spent the remainder of the day sequestered in his room, perusing several toms on magic.

He read intently, diligently recording essential knowledge in his notes to ensure that I can swiftly locate what I need when the moment arises rather than flipping through pages.

A new time swiftly passed, and it was already 300 p.

m.

Suddenly, a notification chimed from the Lord's book.

Fong Hao opened the tome to find a message from Su Yong.

Brother Fong Hao, I have obtained a map.

Does it still count as valid? Indeed, it does.

Fong Hao replied without hesitation.

Very well, Brother Fong Hao.

I will depart tonight with my men.

Is it convenient to conduct the transaction now? Su Yang continued.

It appeared that Su Yang was quite anxious.

Yes, I will have my people prepare the equipment.

Please inform me about the troll situation.

Has the battle commenced? Fongo inquired further.

There was ample equipment in the warehouse, and there was no need to arrange for preparation.

He needed to seize this opportunity to gauge the circumstances on the other side.

Su Yang fell into a brief silence, followed by a direct message.

The Rockhead tribe, leading the other troll clans, has already engaged in battle with the Bloodthroat tribe.

The fighting is fierce.

If I delay any longer, it will be our demise.

The battle has indeed begun.

Who is prevailing? Funho pressed on.

The Rockhead tribe is advancing towards the stronghold of the Bloodthroat tribe and they're expected to reach it today after tomorrow for a decisive confrontation.

Battles among trolls tend to be brutal once close combat ensues.

It typically concludes only when one side has been annihilated.

Even as the Rockheadled Troll Coalition has made significant progress to the Bloodthroats layer, both sides are suffering heavy casualties.

Likewise, the Rockhead tribe faces numerous challenges.

Su Yang is certain that when they arrive for the final battle beneath Bloodthroat City, Chief Byt will undoubtedly roast his human captives to feed the troll army.

Hence, he plans to leave tonight.

All right, I have set up the transaction.

You may proceed directly, Fono stated.

Thank you, esteemed one.

Su Yang immediately expressed his gratitude.

Transaction completed.

Acquired.

Troll march map.

Troll heavy shield blueprint.

Troll ram horn helmet blueprint.

Black iron flying axe blueprint.

242 troll stones.

Seven marks of brutality.

12 marks of violence.

Eight essence of destruction.

72 soul crystals.

Chapter 369.

The skeleton mantis man.

The two individuals concluded their transaction and the items from the other party materialized in Fonghouse possession.

He placed the rare materials into a nearby box and turned his attention to the map.

Map troll army map category single page map utilized from the Lord's book compilation.

The topography of the bloodied mountains appeared on the map alongside the locations of the various tribes.

As anticipated, the paths were winding and convoluted.

Without a route map, it would be exceedingly challenging to locate the correct path, potentially leading the army into perilous territories.

With a map in hand, many troubles could be circumvented.

Funhow glanced at the map and privately messaged Su Yang, inquiring, "Which location on the map corresponds to the Bloodthroat tribe?" The map indicated only positions devoid of any labels.

"The Bloodthroat tribe is situated at the southernmost point of the map.

The further north you go, the harsher the living conditions become," Su Yang responded.

Fong Hao cross referenced the map.

Indeed, the southernmost location corresponded to the bloodthrow tribe, alarmingly close to the dragon s tomb where he had acquired the bone dragon.

Should he launch an offensive from the bloodied fortress, his first target would undoubtedly be the bloodthroat tribe the day after tomorrow, the troll coalition led by the Rockhead tribe would initiate their attack on the Bloodthroat Mountains, granting him a brief window for preparation.

After thoroughly examining the map, Fongghao proceeded to inspect the remaining blueprints.

Troll heavy shield, 12 iron, eight cast iron blocks, 10 tough leather, 22 metal parts.

The troll heavy shield is evidently a robust shield designed for troll warriors.

The skeleton hero giant wall possesses a legion skill, allowing for a troll shield formation.

Units transformed into trolls by the leader gain proficiency in wielding shields.

At that time, he could establish a troll shield formation with all members brandishing their formidable heavy shields, creating an impenetrable barrier on the battlefield.

Continuing to the second blueprint, trollhorn helmet, three iron, two cast iron blocks, five tough leather, two giant sheep horns.

This is a helmet for trolls, albeit of merely green quality.

Currently, the skeletal troll adorns a troll heavy helmet also of green quality, revealing minimal differences between the two.

Black iron flying axe, one tough wood, three iron, two cast iron blocks, one leather.

In encounters with trolls, he noticed many adept at wielding flying axes.

However, among orcs and humans, such ranged weaponry is rather scarce, with crossbows or throwing knives being more prevalent than axes.

Having cataloged all the blueprints, Fongo cradled the remaining rare materials and descended the stairs.

He intercepted a passing maid and instructed her to summon all heroes within the territory to the hall.

Yes, my lord.

In the lord's hall, Fawnhouse sat upon the skeletal throne, addressing the six heroes who remained in the main city.

Nelson, Domiga, Anya, Blacksword, Giant Wall, and Heavy Arrow.

I have just received reliable intelligence indicating that internal strife has erupted within the troll tribes of the bloodied mountains.

I intend to dispatch troops to assault the bloodied mountains and eradicate the northern threat in one decisive strike.

Funha recounted the situation regarding the bloodthirsty mountains and shared his thoughts with the assembled heroes.
