Chapter 299 - 293, Solid Silver Blueprint 1
The night was deep.
In the Lord’s Hall, a weary, weather-beaten swordsman sat.
At that moment, frantic footsteps echoed up the staircase.
Setting down his cup, the swordsman stood to wait.
Seeing the Lord descending from the second floor, he bowed immediately, and saluted, “Greetings, My Lord.”
“Hmm, you’ve worked hard,” said Fang Hao softly.
“I dare not delay your plans, here is the blueprint I brought back.” The swordsman handed over the blueprint he held.
Eira stepped forward to take it, passing it to Fang Hao.
[Hard Silver Sand Blueprint] [Hard Silver Block Blueprint] [Hard Silver Arrows Blueprint (Green Rank)] [Hard Silver Single-handed Sword Blueprint (Green Rank)].
A total of four blueprints.
[Hard Silver Sand (10): 1 Iron Block, 1 Silver Ore.]
(Description: Increases hardness of silver through blending.) [Hard Silver Block: 1 Iron Block, 5 Hard Silver Sand, 2 Silver Ore.] (Description: A hard silver block, produced after numerous tedious steps.) [Hard Silver Arrows (10): 1 Tough Wood, 1 Iron, 1 Hard Silver Block.] (Description: Arrow mixed with ‘silver’, the arrowhead shines brightly but due to the softness of silver, it is not feasible for reusing.)
[Hard Silver Single-handed Sword: 2 Iron Blocks, 2 Hard Silver Blocks, 1 Thick Leather.]
(Description: A gorgeous silver single-handed sword, not suited for extended combat.)
Two blueprints for materials, and two blueprints for weapons.
Especially the hard silver block, it can surprisingly be produced.
If the hard silver block also requires a forge for processing, even the upcoming battlefield would be over by now without much being made.
Both weapon blueprints are green rank and are related to silver.
However, given silver’s softness, even after multiple hardening processes, it remains impractical for battlefield use according to the descriptions. If not for its special effect against the Blood Clan.
Otherwise, weapons would not be made from such a metal, which is not durable and more expensive to produce than iron swords.
“Good, you have worked hard.” Fang Hao turned to Eira, “Eira, find him a place to stay, let him rest in the fief for the night before returning.”
The fief has many empty rooms, so there’s no worry about accommodation.
“Yes, Master.”
“Thankyou, My Lord,”
Following Eira’s departure, Fang Hao collected the blueprints he had received.
It was already late at night, he could only wait until the next morning to begin production and deliver to Demitrija.
Dawn!
Fang Hao jolted awake from a drowsy slumber as the sound of a horn echoed in his ear.
This was the signal of a received message from the Sound-transmitting Shell. Rolling over to look at the head of his bed, indeed, Demitrija had sent a message.
As he held it to his ear, he heard Demitrija’s voice.
My Lord, the army has reached the border of Crescent Heights and has begun to set up camp. We plan to launch an attack on the Blood Clan tomorrow.” The message was brief but conveyed all the necessary information.
Demitrija led the troops for two days and two nights.
Since the undead army could march day and night, the progress was faster than a conventional army’s marching speed.
According to the original plan.
After reaching the destination, Demitrija would first set up a camp. Then, using the camp as a base, he would launch an attack on the Blood Clan. The construction of the camp is also to facilitate the transportation of supplies. In this way, the army will not become isolated, forced to charge forward only. Fang Hao sat up, dressed, and immediately left the Lord’s Mansion.
The reception hall on the first floor.
The maids had finished their day off yesterday and resumed work.
But it could be seen that they were still in a good mood.
Good morning, Master.” The maids smiled and greeted him.
Hmm, good morning.” Just as Fang Hao was about to leave the Lord’s Mansion, he stopped and said to one of the maids, “Go fetch the Blood Hunter, tell him to meet me outside the fief.”
‘Oh, alright.” The maid nodded and ran off to fetch the Blood Hunter.
Outside the fief, on the open land.
Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords and began to produce the blueprints he had acquired yesterday.
First, he used the one hundred-fold increase feature to make [Hard Silver Sand] and [Hard Silver Block],
After finishing the production of these two items, he continued with the production of Hard Silver Arrows and Hard Silver Single-handed Swords.
[Hard Silver Arrows (10): 1 Tough Wood, 1 Iron, 1 Hard Silver Block.]
Production Quantity 5000.
[One Hundred-Fold Increase Triggered, Received 5050000.]
1 quantity equals 10 Hard Silver Arrows. With the effect of the one hundred-fold increase, the quantity of arrows reached 5 million.
Crash!
A dazzling light appeared, revealing a vast number of hard silver arrows scattered across the open land.
Fang Hao picked up one.
The arrowhead of the hard silver arrow was exceptionally bright, revealing delicate patterns. It looked much better than the ordinary black iron arrow.
He waved over a team of skeletons to bundle up the scattered arrows.
Fang Hao continued with the production of the hard silver single-handed swords.
[One Hundred-Fold Increase triggered, received 101,000 Hard Silver Single- handed Swords.]
A batch of swords again appeared before his eyes.
Scattered messily on the ground.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the Blood Hunter swooped in, his giant bat wings allowed him to land from a distance.
At the city gate, the newly-recruited hero, Bulwark also walked over.
Seeing Bulwark’s current attire, Fang Hao understood the origin of his name.
Bulwark held a large iron shield in his hands.
The height of the shield was about five to six meters, and it was three to four meters wide, just like half a city gate.
“My Lord, you wanted to see me?” The Blood Hunter looked at the equipment scattered all over the ground and asked quietly.
“Hmm, Demitrija has reached the border of Crescent Heights and established a temporary camp.” Fang Hao stepped out from the pile of equipment.
“My Lord, what do you mean?”
“You excel at leading flying troops, I plan to recruit another batch of air units for you to command. Together with Demitrija, take over Crescent Heights as soon as possible,” Fang Hao stated his intentions.
A fief must always have a hero to guard it.
Skeleton heroes were the best candidates for city defense.
They lack personal emotions and put the benefits of the fief and Fang Hao first.
Anjia was there to act as Fang Hao’s personal bodyguard and would follow him around.
And although Little You had also been promoted into a hero, she mostly did not appear during daytime hours and was not adept at commanding troops.
Not to mention Nelson, Fang Hao felt like he hadn’t seen him for a month now.
He was afraid that the old man would collapse from overwork.
Now, with the addition of Bulwark, the Blood Hunter could be sent to support
Demitrija. Having one hero commanding so many troops, there would inevitably be some areas that are neglected.
Alright, my lord, I understand. I will depart immediately once preparations
are made,” The Blood Hunter immediately nodded in agreement.
“Hmm, you manage to tidy these arrows and single-handed swords, and then take them all with you when you leave. I will go recruit some flying soldiers.” Striding over the arrows scattered on the ground, Fang Hao went into the fief.
“Alright.”
The Blood Hunter began to command the skeletons to continue cleaning up the equipment scattered all over the ground.
It would take a long time to tidy so many arms.
Fang Hao returned to the fief and went straight to the [Skeleton Transformation Field].
In the transformation field, only four types of flying troops had been unlocked so far.
[Skeleton Sparrows (Tier 1)] [Ostrich Beasts (Tier 3)] [Skeleton Giant Bat (Tier 5)] [Bone Dragon (Tier 10)].
