After listening to several of the villagers, Fang Hao began to understand the situation.
West of this fiefdom, many human villages were regularly preyed upon by bandits made up of humans and the beast clan.
Residents of villages that had been wiped out would look for human cities to join.
This is one reason why there were so many refugees.
Now that he understood the situation, Fang Hao came up with a plan.
Looking at the people below, he said, “Some of you may already know, but for those who don’t, I have no intention of starting a war. It was your lord who challenged me.”
Although Fang Hao was powerful, he did not want to be branded a warmonger. It was Li Teng who had provoked him; Fang Hao was merely reacting.
The crowd below remained silent.
Fang Hao continued, “From today onwards, I am the lord of this fief. You can live here as usual; the fief will provide you with food and shelter.”
All the farmers looked lost, glancing at their companions nervously.
After hesitating for a few seconds, all of them knelt down to show their submission following the first person to kneel and give thanks.
Of course, Fang Hao would not just let them go and spread the news of the undead army.
Not killing all of them already showed his final bottom line.
“Don’t worry, I am a human like you, a mage who can summon creatures. You can continue with your regular work and live your lives as usual.” Fang Hao said, then he cast a spell and two wooden spirit guards appeared by his side. The kneeling farmers, seeing this, began to murmur amongst themselves. Stories of mages were always popular.
Even in remote villages, there would be one or two stories about mages or tales about noble lords and their mistresses.
Seeing Fang Hao performing magic made them believe him a little more.
“You can go back to your work. I will appoint a new governor for you in due course.” Fang Hao waved his hand slightly, signaling that they could leave.
All the farmers left, returning to their own stations as instructed.
Fang Hao, accompanied by Fireblade, left the lord’s manor, too.
Once outside, he began rebuilding the fiefdom.
First, he built arrow towers on the walls to provide basic warning for the whole fiefdom.
Then he built a lumberyard, a pasture, a stone mine, a wood processing plant, a stone processing plant, and a forge.
Most importantly, he built a mill.
There were still two subsidiary villages in Li Teng’s fiefdom, which had stored a lot of crops, so the mill played a significant role.
After everything was built and the farmers were assigned work, he exchanged 12 soul crystals in the regional channel.
He then went straight to the Great Sword Infantry training ground.
[Great Sword Infantry Training Ground]
[Recruitment available: Great Sword Infantry (Tier 4 troops)]
[Great Sword Infantry: 4 soul crystals, 20 food.]
(Description: A special building that can recruit special troops.)
He set the recruitment count to 3.
And then chose to recruit.
[Recruitment Amplification xioo triggered, 303 Great Sword Infantry gained.] The glow faded, and 303 burly Great Sword Infantry stood before Fang Hao. [Great Sword Infantry (Tier 4)]
[Faction: Human]
[Race Characteristics: Living creatures, Human Spirit, Learning]
[Skill: Sweep]
[Inherent Abilities: Intermediate Combat Proficiency, Intermediate Tactical Proficiency, Intermediate Great Sword Proficiency]
[Living creatures]: This unit is a living creature, it can be healed and resurrected, and is affected by morale.
[Human Spirit (passive)]: Spirit increased by 3%.
[Learning]: Humans are good at learning. In addition to mastering weapons, any secondary weapon can be equipped (secondary weapons need practice). [Sweep]: AOE attack that damages all enemy units in front and inflicts 40% extra heavy damage.
(Remark: Do not underestimate these guys who lift heavy iron swords. In the history of the empire, there are countless poems glorifying how the Great Sword Infantry fought to their last man to guard their lord.)
The 303 Great Sword Infantry stood before Fang Hao, their muscular upper bodies bare.
With bronze skin and bulging muscles, they looked as exaggerated as gym coaches.
If they were to hand out flyers on the streets, they would surely attract a lot of attention.
“We are at your service, my lord,” The 303 muscular men said in unison, touching their chest with one hand and saluting.
The human etiquette was slightly different from that of the undead, but both expressed respect for the lord.
They had just been recruited and had no memory of Li Teng. They only knew that their lord was Fang Hao.
“I welcome you on board. Wait a moment. I will make some equipment for you,” Fang Hao said. He opened the Book of Lords and started making equipment for them.
[Two-handed Great Sword: 5 iron, 4 leather]
Set production quantity to 3.
[Amplification xioo triggered, gained 303 Two-handed Great Swords.]
Next, Fang Hao made plate armor, arm guards, black iron open-faced helmets, and leather boots.
He made 303 sets in total and distributed them to all the Great Sword Infantry.
Only when all the Great Sword Infantry were properly equipped did Fang Hao continue, “Your duty is to guard this territory, protect the safety of the villagers and the city. And, without my orders, anyone who tries to flee this territory will be treated as a traitor and executed on the spot.”
At your command, sir.” They all dispersed to carry out Fang Hao’s orders.
After wrapping things up here, Fang Hao left.
Regarding the governor, Fang Hao hadn’t thought of a candidate yet. He just asked Fireblade to stay and guard the fiefdom for the time being.
He would choose a suitable person to replace Fireblade when he returned.
He left a small number of soldiers for Fireblade.
Then Fang Hao mounted the Bone Dragon and flew back to his domain.
Thanks to the Bone Dragon, a journey that would have taken hours took only 20 minutes.
Upon returning to his territory, Fang Hao saw Nelson coming out of the
Viscera Museum, followed by a skeletal hero with large wings on his back.
“Good afternoon, Lord.” Nelson greeted him proactively.
After Fang Hao, Nelson held the highest status in the domain.
Out of respect, Fang Hao also greeted Nelson with the honorific “scholar” whenever he saw him.
Nelson’s high status was due to the fact that he was a level 7 orange hero and, more importantly, capable of creating skeletal heroes.
This made him like a production line. The hero units that other lords could only dream of – he could turn those into heroes on his side whenever they were killed.
The loyalty of these heroes was 100%, an extremely powerful feature.
This directly enhanced the strength of the fiefdom, not less powerful than Fang Hao’s loo-fold amplification.
Just because of this, no one could surpass Nelson’s status in the territory.
Good afternoon, Scholar Nelson. The conversion is complete?” Fang Hao looked at the Winged Hero behind him.
Even though he had been made into a skeletal hero, he still retained the vampire’s fangs and gigantic bat wings.
“Yes, my lord. Blood Hunter, this is Lord.” Nelson stepped aside, making way.
Blood Hunter took a step forward and bowed, “Blood Hunter at your service, my lord..”
