Chapter 249 - 243, Three Tasks at the Same Time_l
Upon hearing the system prompt, Fang Hao knit his eyebrows.
A random event had appeared again.
After the “Lord conflict” and “Heroism” events, this was the third type of random event, named “unexpected visitor”.
According to the task description, it seemed that soon a group of outsiders would appear nearby his territory. Whether they come with hostile or friendly intentions, it wasn’t certain.
It might not necessarily lead to a battle.
Just as Fang Hao was about to check out everyone’s reactions in the regional channel, another prompt appeared.
[Event generated: Rebellion]
[Random enemies for the event have spawned. Thirty thousand rebel forces will appear near your territory. They are equipped with fine armour and have rigid discipline, planning to seize your city in one fell swoop.]
[Good luck…]
Unfortunately, the enemy generated was rebels.
[Subordinate Territory tasks generated: “Bandits descending from the mountain” and “Passingtravelers”]
[You may choose to complete them from the main city or separately.] Interesting, the tasks also appeared for him as well.
For any normal force, it would be a safe method to divide their efforts. But it was not necessary for Fang Hao. Zhang Bin’s and Fu Lei’s areas were mainly focused on agriculture, their combat power was not strong.
With his ample combat force, whether it was rebel forces or bandits, they could hardly pose a threat.
Furthermore, “Passing travelers” didn’t seem like a combat event. There might
be some special harvest.
He made a direct choice for the main city to complete it.
[Event tasks confirmed: Rebellion, Bandits descend from the mountain, and
Passing travelers]
[Event Countdown: 9 hours 58 minutes 23 seconds.]
[Good luck…]
Ding!
At that moment, a message from Zhang Bin came through in the territory channel.
“Boss, did you really accept all these tasks yourself?
Fu Lei also remarked, “Thankyou, boss.”
These event tasks were dangerous. Even though the “Passing travelers” didn’t sound like a combat event, who could be certain whether they come with good intentions?
“No problem, these fights are easy. You guys just focus on managing your territories.”
“Alright, boss. Thank you.”
After the two of them expressed their gratitude again, Fang Hao was essentially lifting the burden off their shoulders by taking all the fights on himself.
He closed the territory channel and reopened the regional channel.
As expected, everyone was discussing the same event.
“What do you guys think if I abandon my city and run away, then come back after the event time passes, would it be considered a success or a failure?”
“Success! Ahem, a friend of mine did so during a ‘Nature’s Revenge’ event. He waited till the event time ended, the enemies disappeared automatically. When he came back, although there were fewer resources inside the territory and some damage to the buildings, he succeeded.”
“Oh, thanks pal, I got it.”
” [Image] What the heck is Undead patrolling? Are Undead coming to mine tomorrow? What should I do with Undead, talisman or cross, who knows?” “It should be a cross, right? Things like a talisman are to deal with hopping zombies, right? Maybe prepare some garlic too.”
“I’ve encountered Undead before, the cross didn’t work, speaking from personal experience.”
“You up there have experience, can you share how to deal with them?”
“How would I know, I ran off with my people, not having a direct confrontation
with them.”
“You can ask Fang Hao, his merchants are all Skeletons, they should be kind of
Undead.”
“Right, right, right! @Fang Hao, Boss, my territory will have Undead tomorrow, can you help me check if Undead have any weaknesses?”
Good grief, they really @ed him.
What unique features could Undead have? There are many different kinds of Undead.
After thinking for a bit, Fang Hao decided to reply: “Undead fear Light magic. If you were to get your hands on some, it should be very effective.
“What? I… I drink strength potions, and there’s nowhere to get Light magic. Do you have any other methods?”
Fang Hao continued, “Low-level Undead aren’t very intelligent. Setting up some traps or obstacles tonight could be very effective.”
“Thankyou, I’m impressed with you boss! I’ll dig some traps right away.” “I’m dealing with bandits, boss Fang Hao, do you have any tips or methods?
“Boss, how should I deal with Orc Brutes?
A lot of people started asking Fang Hao for advice.
Even though they might have had their own plans, they wanted to hear ideas from Fang Hao.
It seemed as if he had a guidebook to clear the stages.
After briefly offering everyone some advice, he didn’t say much else.
The reason why he was able to develop to his current state was not because he had a powerful brain, but because of his unique characteristic that gave him a hundredfold increase in troop summoning.
There are some things he didn’t understand and if he spoke about them, he might mislead others.
He disconnected from the regional channel, devouring the last bite of his meal. Coming into the hall, he ordered the maid to summon the Blood Hunter. It wasn’t long before the Blood Hunter walked in. “Lord, you called me?” “Yes, later, you’re going to patrol around the territory and see if any special buildings have appeared.” Fang Hao instructed.
“Alright, Lord, I’ll set out now.”
“Okay, be thorough, and report back to me if you find anything.” Fang Hao reminded him again.
“Yes, Lord.”
Blood Hunter hurried out of the lord’s hall and mounted the Bone Dragon to fly toward the exterior of the territory.
One hour later.
Blood Hunter, mounted on his Bone Dragon, landed in front of the lord’s hall. He quickly walked into the hall and reported, “Lord, I found two camps. They had complete sets of buildings but were completely empty.” just as expected, this was similar to the last ‘Nature Punishment’ task. The buildings would appear at the release of the task.
Once the task countdown ended, the enemies mentioned in the task would appear.
“Where are the camps located and how large are they?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
“The camp on the north side is larger, it could accommodate an estimated 10,000 people. The camp on the east side is a bit smaller, looking more like a small village.” Blood Hunter responded.
“Hmm,” Fang Hao nodded.
It seemed the size of the camp was directly related to the number of people.
The task notification mentioned 30,000 rebels, so they must be at the northern camp. The smaller one should comprise of bandits, with a likely smaller number.
Fang Hao looked at a maid. “Go and get Demitrija and Anjia for me.’
“Yes, Master.”
There were four heroes within the main city.
Nelson, Blood Hunter, Anjia, and Demitrija.
Since Nelson was engaged in making the remaining skeleton heroes, he was unable to participate in tomorrow’s event task.
Therefore, he had to assign some tasks to the remaining three heroes.
When the maid came back, she was followed by Demitrija, and Anjia also came downstairs from upstairs.
They sat down on the seats located on one side.
Fang Hao began, “Two camps have appeared on the north and east of the territory. Tomorrow morning, enemies will appear and launch an attack on the territory.”
“Lord, what do you suggest we do?”
“Demitrija, you’re responsible for the larger camp on the north side. Arrange troops to surround them, and don’t let a single one escape,” Fang Hao instructed.
“Yes, Lord,” Demitrija nodded, indicating that he understood.
Fang Hao then turned towards Anjia, “Anjia, you are responsible for the camp on the east side, and Blood Hunter will guard the city.”
“Okay.”
The two of them also nodded one after another.
At night, Demitrija and Anjia, taking advantage of the darkness, went to observe the two abandoned territories, planning out their setups.
The next morning.
“Anjia, wake up, we have tasks to complete today.” Fang Hao yelled from the doorway.
After shouting several times, there were still no responses from the room. “No one’s here? That can’t be,” Fang Hao thought, bafflingly, and pushed the door open.
Upon opening the door, he saw Anjia laying sideways on the bed. Her white hair was spread out like clouds. She wore a loose vest on her upper body, and her firm buttocks were covered by tight shorts.
Well, everyone had risen to action, but here she was still sleeping.
Smack!
A crisp sound echoed through the room.
Startled awake, Anjia clutched her bottom and gritted her teeth. “What do you think you’re doing?”
