BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71 - 71, Troll Brewing Barrel l
Splat!
The sound of a blade piercing through flesh resounded.
The ogre that was previously in a frenzy, roaring and wielding a massive club, suddenly stiffened.
It collapsed to the ground, emitting a painful howl.
Its heart-wrenching screams filled the sky, attracting the attention of all the ogres.
The skeletons naturally wouldn’t pass up this perfect opportunity.
They launched an attack at the collapsed ogre.
A barrage of shield strikes, like an intense rain, continuously battered the ogre’s head.
The small chance of causing dizziness, due to the frequent attacks, occurred more often.
Causing the howls to sound intermittently.
Fang Hao flicked the blood off his sword, glanced at the weak points of all the ogres, and said solemnly, “Aim for their groin.”
The ogres may not understand Fang Hao’s language.
But they could feel the focus of Fang Hao’s gaze. Coupled with seeing the ogre whose groin was gushing blood, their faces turned ashen, and their legs clenched tightly together.
The skeletons heard Fang Hao’s command.
They stopped hacking wildly, and whether they had a sword or spear, they aimed from all angles, attacking the ogre’s groin.
Even if the ogres tried to defend, they could not cover all fronts.
For a moment, all the ogres had suffered attacks on their lower bodies, their howls filled the atmosphere.
The battle between the two sides lasted for more than an hour.
In the end, it was the skeleton army who relied on their sheer numbers to secure final victory.
They killed all the ogres.
Fang Hao looked at the scene before him and shook his head slightly.
The ogres’ bodies lay scattered about, and each one had sustained varying degrees of damage to their groin, blood flowing everywhere.
The skeletons’ losses were even more severe, with shattered craniums and broken limbs littered across the ground. Some skeletons’ bodies were even flattened into an iron pancake along with their armor, pasted to the ground.
Fang Hao let out a sigh. In this battle, about 8,000 skeletons had died.
In addition, many of the surviving skeletons were badly damaged.
“2,000 of you follow me; the rest clean up the battlefield.” Fang Hao gave his orders loudly.
All the skeletons began to move again, starting to clean up the battlefield.
Fang Hao, accompanied by a few skeletons, strode straight into the ogres’ lair.
The ogres’ dwelling place was akin to a massive garbage dump.
The entire campsite was littered with foul and murky water, skulls of various species hoisted high on wooden stakes, hanging like grandiose banners in mid-air.
“Dismantle all the tents and gather up the beast skins.” After looking at several tents,
Besides the beast skins on the ground, there was nothing but beds.
Of course, there was nothing else to collect.
Following Fang Hao’s orders, the skeletons began to tear down these crude shelters, bringing out all manner of beast skins.
Fang Hao continued the search.
Such a stronghold, with powerful 7th order ogres, surely wouldn’t be without a treasure chest.
With the skeletons searching and dismantling tents along the way, they finally found a golden treasure chest in a tent by a broken wall.
Fang Hao took a deep breath and opened the golden chest.
“Acquired: Construction Blueprint for Stone Processing Factory (Green), Blueprint for Trolls’ Brewing Barrel (Blue), 11 Troll Stones, 120 Warfire Coins.”
The gold chest from the ogres was quite rewarding.
A green construction blueprint and a blue crafting blueprint were found.
“Stone Processing Factory: Wood 2200, Stone 1800, Thatch 550, Leather 320, Rope 400.”
“Description: Through processing, the excavated stone can be made into squared bricks.”
Yeah!
Upon seeing this description, Fang Hao couldn’t help but rejoice.
The halt in all construction works was due to the dearth of stone bricks.
Consequently, aside from special positions, all the labouring skeletons were assigned to dismantle the buildings in Shadowwind Castle for their stone bricks.
The progress of this work was extremely slow.
Now that he had obtained the blueprint for the Stone Processing Factory, he could arrange for workers to start producing squared bricks upon returning.
He continued to examine the second blueprint.
This was the first blue blueprint that he had acquired from opening a treasure chest.
[Troll Brewing Barrel: Wood 120, Hardwood Planks 50, Metal Parts 22, Iron 5, Iron Plates 12, Essence of Wine 2.]
(Description: A gigantic wine barrel crafted by alcohol-loving trolls. Simply add ingredients and clean water into the barrel, and you can enjoy pure wine.) Holy moly!
With this barrel, couldn’t I open a tavern?
Just add the ingredients and clean water, and it will automatically transform into wine. That’s way too convenient.
Currently within my territory, Eira is responsible for preparing food, and she does a pretty good job.
But all we have to drink every day is boiled clean water.
I have missed the taste of beverages more than once.
With this barrel, it could solve the problem of drinks.
I just don’t know how the wine tastes. Does it cater to human taste?
After reading the information of the blueprint, I continue to check the Troll Stone.
[Troll Stone]
[Category: Ore]
(Description: A rare ore containing the wild beliefs of trolls.)
Yet another unique ore.
I’d better stash it away for now, who cares if it’s useful later.
After checking the awarded items.
The skeletons have also completed their tasks.
The battlefield was cleaned up, and this foothold was completely flattened.
The scattered bones were buried by the skeletons who dug a pit.
“Load the wagon, bring back all the spoils, especially the bodies of the ogres.” Fang Hao shouted loud.
Upon death, the ogres dropped 12 Wriggling Spines.
But more importantly, Fang Hao desired the ogres’ bodies.
By throwing the ogres’ bodies into the Skeleton Conversion Field, he could have his own three-meter tall troops.
He could summon them by using up the Wriggling Spines.
Swiftly the skeletons loaded the wagon and tied up everything with hemp ropes.
The main force took all the spoils and began to return to the territory.
Unimpeded along the way, the large group made it back to the territory.
Fang Hao withdrew from the God’s Presence state and left the lord’s hut.
He first incorporated the two blueprints and tossed 120 Warfire Coins into his own moneybox.
He then coordinated the skeletons to categorize the spoils.
The bodies of the 50 ogres were dumped into the Skeleton Conversion Pool for transformation.
Whether it’s because the ogres’ level is high or they just have tough hides, each body required ten minutes to transform.
While waiting for the transformation to complete, Fang Hao went to check on the brick production.
Thanks to the relentless efforts of the skeletons, 127 units of bricks were available.
Things that have been built are really not that easy to dismantle.
Fortunate for Fang Hao, he obtained the blueprint of a stone processing factory.
In the previously designated industrial area, he chose a piece of vacant land to build the factory.
As the light faded, the building was completed after 10 minutes.
[Stone Processing Factory]
[Place: 0/5 workers.]
[Raw material: Stone 2]
[Production: Bricks]
(Description: Through processing, mined stone can be made into regular bricks.)
Fang Hao immediately selected five skeletons.
Three spontaneous skeletons entered the factory while the other two went to the warehouse to bring stone materials to the factory.
The setup of the factory was completed.
The first ogre body was also successfully converted in the Skeleton Conversion Field.
Fang Hao immediately stepped forward and checked the attributes.
