Fang Hao pocketed the badge, not in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he started to chat with Rebecca and indirectly inquired about some news related to the Faceless.

Though Rebecca wouldn’t share any significant intelligence,

The less important information, coupled with what he had gathered, could help him infer quite a lot.

Last night, the capture mission was successful.

You could say it caught the enemy off guard, and those Faceless hiding in the dark were probably investigating how it was that Rebecca had managed to capture someone without being detected.

Likewise, these guys would probably lay low for a while, daring not to make any new moves.

After all, Rebecca’s punishment for the Faceless was quite severe.

Capturing one person would likely implicate quite a few others.

After talking with Rebecca for a while and seeing her yawn continuously,

Fang Hao decided not to linger any longer.

He left the City Lord’s Mansion straight away.

After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, Fang Hao did not continue to stay in the city.

Upon returning to the Gray Bear Village with his troops, he switched to riding the Bone Dragon and returned to his territory at dusk.

As Eira began preparing dinner, Fang Hao went to the tailor’s shop to check on the progress of the clothes.

He sat there and chatted with Soye for a while.

After dinner,

Fang Hao took a few skeleton warriors and went straight out of his territory.

Arriving at a spacious open area, he turned to the Book of Lords and started crafting the newly obtained “Dynamite Blueprint”.

Dynamite: Iron 2, Copper 1, Cast Iron 1, Metal Parts 2, Black Gunpowder 2, Spun Yarn 2, Clay 1.

The materials were all rather common.

Make 1.

Triggered a hundredfold amplification, received 101 dynamites.

Clatter!

One dynamite after another materialized out of thin air and fell to the ground.

Seeing the dynamites drop, Fang Hao was caught off guard and was anxious in case of any problems.

Fortunately, there were no issues.

Dynamite

Category: Bomb

Damage: Level 4 damage (decreases with range)

Description: An improved version of traditional land mines.

Fang Hao casually picked one up, it had a certain heft to it, heavier than a lead ball.

The dynamite was cylindrical, roughly the thickness of a forearm, not quite as throwable as a grenade, he had imagined.

This…

How far could this be thrown? If dropped, it might end up blowing oneself up.

Besides, the movement of skeleton soldiers tended to be somewhat slow and rigid, one slip-up, and they might end up hurling the explosive within their own ranks.

That would be a problem.

As he thought this, Fang Hao used God’s Presence to take control of one of the skeleton warriors standing next to him.

Picking up one dynamite, he left the crowd and maintained a safe distance.

Then, after a little examination,

He opened the safety cover, pulled the ring, and threw it into the distance.

The dynamite flew in an arc and landed around fifty meters away.

After a quiet period of 5- 6 minutes, just when Fang Hao thought it was a dud,

Boom!!

A loud noise and then dirt and rocks soared into the sky.

Fang Hao, controlling the skeleton, went forward to inspect and found that a sizable crater had been blasted into the ground at the explosion site.

The power seemed quite satisfactory.

However, regarding the throwing, Fang Hao was somewhat worried whether the skeletons could pull it off.

After the test, Fang Hao ordered the dynamites to be moved to the warehouse where the gunpowder was stored.

It was a separate warehouse, specifically for storing dangerous goods.

On the way back, came across worrying about the dynamite issue.

He was pleased with its power, but it was somewhat too large and too heavy.

He was still worried about whether the skeleton soldiers could possibly complete the task of throwing it.

A single error could result in a chain reaction.

But he could think of some units that could be paired with the dynamite, like the Skeleton Giant Bat, which could drop bombs from the air.

Fang Hao felt this was a good strategy.

Right when he was about to step into the City Lord’s Mansion, Fang Hao had another idea.

He scribbled a quick sketch on a piece of paper.

He left the mansion once again, heading to the blacksmith’s shop.

He handed the design that he had drawn to Blacksmith Coulon.

This was a new type of weapon that Fang Hao had suddenly thought of, the ‘Chicken Chamber Thunder Hider’.

The design inspiration came from a game he had once played.

In the game, skeleton soldiers held land mines in their hands and launched attacks on the enemy.

They would swiftly rush to the enemy’s city, ignite the bomb in their hands, and self-destruct along with it.

However, in this world, the skeletons under Fang Hao’s command did not have the advantage of speed, but they easily attracted the enemies’ attention.

They were easily wiped out with concentrated fire.

So, Fang Hao decided to make a change.

He switched from using skeleton warriors to Skeleton Ostrich Beasts, which looked like a hybrid of a chicken, an ostrich, and a lizard.

They had the ability to run extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it could cover great distances.

Moreover, this combination was suitable for all kinds of complex terrains, whether it be forests, mountains, or even tunnels.

Once an Ostrich Beast had targeted its prey, it would charge forward like a guided missile.

It would fiercely peck at its target.

When the lit fuse exploded, it would cause significant damage.

Kulyn stared at the rough sketch in his hand and fell silent.

“My lord, your plan is to place bombs in the chest cavity of these Ostrich Beasts?” Kulyn finally understood the blueprints.

“Yes, I’m hoping that the blacksmiths can create some kind of simple device that can secure the lit fuse within the Ostrich Beast’s chest cavity, thus preventing it from shaking around and accidentally detonating.” Fang Hao explained his idea.

The Skeleton Ostriches didn’t have intelligence.

Once released, they would immediately rush towards the enemy and peck at them.

Their speed was not slow, and if they simply placed the detonator in its stomach, it might detonate on the way, which was not what Fang Hao wanted.

Even if the fuse did not detonate, the cylindrical shape could easily slip out of the chest cavity due to the rapid movement.

So, Fang Hao needed the blacksmiths to create a device that could stably secure the fuse in the Ostrich Beast’s chest cavity.

Once the Ostrich Beast reached the enemy camp, it would explode.

“Very well, my Lord, I will arrange for it to be done as quickly as possible.” Kulyn nodded and replied.

Although building this stabilizing component wasn’t difficult, a few trial runs would be necessary after its completion, as handling a fuse was no joking matter.

Fang Hao left this task to Kulyn.

The Skeleton Blacksmith had accumulated a great deal of professional experience over countless years.

Modifying some objects was not a difficult task for them.

The next day, Fang Hao woke up on time in his bed.

It was more comfortable to sleep in his own room, where he didn’t have to worry about having his head chopped off while he was asleep.

After a simple wash, he began his morning exercise.

He went through the same routine every day.

After the exercises were over, Eira brought him his breakfast.

As she ate, Anjia asked, “Why has Lorrey been gone for so many days? He wouldn’t have fallen off the Bone Dragon, would he?”

Fang Hao gave her a white-eyed glance because she always thought the worst.

Can’t you think of better outcomes?”

“No, you don’t understand, when we rode horses and Giant Lizards together, she always fell off.” Anjia quickly explained.

“…Indeed.”

With Anjia’s explanation, Fang Hao also lost his confidence.

Sometimes, Lorrey was crazier than Anjia. She wasn’t good at riding, so there was a chance she could have fallen off the Bone Dragon.

“Noway!”

“I was just kidding, I hope it’s not the case.” Anjia wore an expression of hopefulness.

Now that was perfect, with Anjia continuing to eat and drink while Fang Hao started to worry.

Ding!

At that moment, the Book of Lords chimed in with a private message sound.

When Fang Hao opened it, he discovered that it was from Xu Yang, the Lord who was affiliated with the Troll Tribe.

“Brother Fang Hao, I want to exchange some equipment and food with you.”

Recently, Fang Hao noticed that Xu Yang was becoming increasingly active in the chat.

From initially buying similar chopping axes to recently buying some armors.

All of this was indicating something; an opportunity was arising in the Troll Tribe, giving Xu Yang a chance to distance himself from the Trolls.

Of course, these opportunities could only be exploited subtly; it wasn’t time to go against the Trolls openly.

“Sure, but won’t you get into trouble with the Trolls if they find out you’ve exchanged equipment?” Fang Hao replied.

Next, he waited quietly.

Tellingly, Xu Yang’s next message confirmed for Fang Hao that something big had indeed happened in the Troll Tribe.

“They’re too busy to care about me right now. Brother Fang Hao, please see what these can be exchanged for. Whether I can escape with my people depends on your support. [Troll Heavy Shield blueprint] [Troll Horned Helmet blueprint] [Black Iron Flying Axe blueprint] [Troll Stone 172] [Mark of the Barbaric 5] [Mark of the Violent 12] [Essence of Destruction 8] [Iron 122] [Horn 15].-”

Xu Yang sent a large number of items, from blueprints to rare materials, and a few miscellaneous items.

He even took out his horns and salt, portraying himself as if he was about to relocate.

“You’re planning to abandon your manor and leave?”

Fang Hao didn’t need to guess anymore; he was certain Xu Yang was planning to sell all his items and leave.

“Sooner or later, the Trolls will kill us, so I’m planning to take this chance to go live in a human city. It doesn’t matter whether I’m a Lord, it’s still better than being eaten.” Xu Yang replied again.

“Okay, how many people do you have? What type of equipment are you planning to get?” Fang Hao asked him directly.

“I have 124 people, and I need leather armour and one-handed swords, as well as 200 servings of easy-to-carry food. Brother Fang Hao, is this possible?” Xu Yang voiced his request.

Xu Yang had no troops, his 124 population were all farmers.

Heavy equipment would burden them during their escape, so Xu Yang opted for leather armour and one-handed swords.

They had some food on hand, but he feared they wouldn’t be able to leave the Bloody Mountain Range in time, so he planned to purchase quite a bit more from Fang Hao’s side.

“Sure, would this be acceptable? [Erland-Ha Guard’s Leather Armor Set (Green)] – Increases movement speed and morale recovery rate. The one- handed sword would be this [Black Iron Knight’s Sword] and for the food, I’ll give you [Meatloaf Pancakes]; it’s easy to carry, and it tastes quite good.” Fang Hao sent over the corresponding blueprints as well.

“Great, thanks a lot, Brother Fang Hao.” Xu Yang said, somewhat excitedly.

Only Fang Hao had such a large stock of green equipment to trade.

However, the following words of Fang Hao poured cold water on him.

“Xu Yang, your items are not worth nearly six hundred units of green equipment.”
