Chapter 44 - 44, Pre-war Preparation (Seeking recommendations )_1
The materials needed for the warning bell are not many, but they include copper.
If it weren’t for the materials he just exchanged, which included copper, he would not have been able to build it.
Since the materials were just enough, he chose to make it.
“ioox Amplification triggered, obtained 101 warning bells.
In an instant, 101 warning bells appeared in front of Fang Hao.
The bell was not large, about 40 cm in diameter at the bottom and 50 cm tall.
The whole body was iron-green with complex patterns carved on surface. Inside the bell, a clapper hung that could hit the bell with a gentle swing. He summoned several patrolling skeletons, “Place these four on the arrow towers.”
The warning bell can be placed on the arrow towers, alerting others by ringing the bell when danger is detected.
The few skeletons struggled to carry them onto the arrow towers.
Fang Hao followed behind and waited for it to be installed.
He looked at the warning bell and then looked at the materials used to make it. Among them were 50 iron and 10 copper.
Having such little copper content, he somewhat doubted whether the bell could ring.
He lifted the clapper inside the copper bell, swung it lightly, and hit the bell. Ding!
A loud bell ringing echoed, vibrating Fang Hao’s brain, scattering the flock of birds in the distant forest.
Now he knows that the copper bell can ring and quite audibly so.
He descended from the arrow tower.
Looking at the blueprint, he could also build a Spiritual Field and a logging site.
But these two were both outside the castle and the Orcs were to attack tomorrow.
Now is not the time to increase the numbers.
Wait until after the big battle, it won’t be too late to build them.
Next, he continued to prepare for the battle.
He came to the Skeleton Conversion Field.
The Skeleton Conversion Field had already unlocked two types of soldiers.
One was the Tier 3 Skeleton Giant Bat and the other was the Tier 1 Skeleton Pig-Headed Man.
The attributes of the Skeleton Pig-Headed Man had no differences from the Skeleton soldiers.
So, there was actually no need to specifically recruit Skeleton Pig-Headed Men.
Just need to recruit Skeleton Giant Bats to supplement the shortage of aerial combat units.
Fang Hao directly set the recruitment number to 300.
Confirm recruitment!
The system’s prompt sound rang again.
“loox Amplification triggered, successfully recruited 30,300 Skeleton Giant Bats.”.
In an instant, thirty thousand Skeleton Giant Bats emerged in the light and landed all around his territory.
“Go and standby outside the territory.” said Fang Hao.
The Skeleton Giant Bats soared into the sky, flew out of the territory, and landed on the open ground to standby.
After consuming 300 Wriggling Spines, there were still 1,072 Wriggling Spines left.
According to the prompt, there were thirty thousand Orcs attacking.
And the number of troops he recruited with loox Amplification was enough to crowd out and tire out the enemy’s thirty thousand troops to death.
Next, he came to the Burial Grounds again to continue recruiting soldiers.
“Available Recruits: Skeleton Soldiers 500, Consumption: 500 Wriggling Spines, Recruit?”
Recruit!
“ioox Amplification triggered, recruited 50,500 Skeleton Soldiers.”
“Available Recruits: Skeleton Lancemen 572, Consumption: 572 Wriggling Spines, Recruit?”
Recruit!
“ioox Amplification triggered, recruited 57,772 Skeleton Lancemen.”
Shua shua shua!!
Countless skeletons appeared.
The number of over 100,000 skeletons had already far exceeded the capacity of the territory.
So, the skeletons stood still in the same spot, stacked upon each other, like a human pyramid.
Seeing this, Fang Hao promptly began to make equipment for them.
He crafted fifty-five thousand sets of sword and shield, and fifty-eight thousand sets of spear and shield.
He also made one hundred and ten thousand sets of leather armor for all the newly recruited skeletons to wear. They then remained standing by in the open area outside the city.
Now that he had acquired the beast skin boots from the Orc market, he finally managed to collect all the pieces of protective gear.
“Eira…,” Fang Hao called softly.
He looked around, only to find Eira hiding in the lord’s wooden house, with just half her head peeking out, looking terrified.
Summoning hundreds of thousands of undead soldiers had scared the timid rabbit girl significantly.
She was cautiously observing the outside world, her face full of fear.
Only when she heard Fang Hao call her did she hesitantly come out, saying, “Master.”
“Change your boots,” Fang Hao said.
Eira’s shoes were worn-out but clean. They didn’t fit, and it was clear they were discarded by someone else.
Beast skin boots crafted from the Book of Lords might not be the most comfortable footwear, but they were far superior to Eira’s shoes.
“Oh, thank you, Master,” Eira responded immediately.
She took off her old shoes with holes in them, revealing her fair, small feet.
Her toes were as white as tender lotus sprouts.
She slipped on a pair of beast skin boots, lightly stepping on the ground. Apparently pleased with her new footwear, a content smile crossed her face.
“Wear these for now. I’ll get you a better pair later,” he said.
“Thank you, Master, these are great,” Eira replied hastily, clearly satisfied with her new boots.
This world did not have sneakers or basketball shoes.
Even the orcs wore leather boots.
Having endured a long period of enslavement, Eira was quite content with the boots.
The sky was gradually dimming.
“Come, I’ll show you your room,” Fang Hao continued.
There were no ordinary houses in the territory, and neither was there a blueprint for constructing housing.
The only residential building was his own wooden lord’s house.
Fortunately, the wooden house had three rooms. Fang Hao occupied one, one was the study.
The remaining room could be allocated to Eira.
He took Eira to the room and said, “Eira, I’ll make a single bed for you in a while. From now on, this will be your room.”
Eira, who was following behind him, now stood there with her eyes wide open, staring in surprise at what soon would be her room.
She had never dared to hope for a room of her own. It was enough for her not to be caged anymore.
But now, not only did she have her own room, it was also incredibly luxurious.
The floor was covered with a beast skin rug, thick and heavy silk curtains hung at the windows, a table and chairs were set up against the wall, and a huge wardrobe with beautifully carved designs was also present.
Even when she was not enslaved, she had never lived in such luxury.
“Get used to this place while I make your bed,” Fang Hao said, slapping his forehead.
The furniture in the room had all been moved from the castle.
The castle had several rooms, all with tables and wardrobes, but no beds.
Luckily, he had a blueprint for a single bed, so Eira would not have to sleep on the floor.
After finishing his instructions, Fang Hao went out to make the single bed and wooden grid window.
He had just exchanged for the blueprint for the window.
He could now install one in every room of the lord’s wooden house.
Within a short time, the single bed and wooden window were done, and he instructed two skeletons to carry them in.
Upon entering, he saw Eira barefoot, her shoes off, her feet on the carpet.
Seeing Fang Hao return, she stood warily to one side.
He directed the skeletons to set up the single bed and wooden grid window.
Fang Hao smiled slightly and said, “Okay, you can rest now. No one here will bully you. If there’s any physical work to do, you can direct these skeletons.” “Yes, Master, Eira understands,” she replied.
“Good, rest early,” Fang Hao said and then left the room.
He had just walked up to the second floor.
Then the prompt sounded.
[The loyalty of Eira from the Rabbitmen Clan increases by 10, current loyalty is 90..]
