Fang Hao issued a search order, and all the skeleton soldiers immediately dispersed.
They began to gather any resources that could be taken away.
Fang Hao surveyed the entire territory. When he saw the chieftain’s hall in the central position, his eyes lit up.
In general, the chieftain possesses the greatest wealth of the tribe, so some valuable items were bound to be unearthed.
Moreover, this kind of territory, home to tens of thousands, undoubtedly had some high-quality treasure chests.
“You guys don’t need to search anymore, stay with me,” Fang Hao called over a few skeletons.
It was uncertain whether there would be any special dangers inside, so it would be better to be cautious.
Six skeletons immediately stopped their work and quietly followed behind Fang Hao.
The chieftain’s hall was still a combination of ordinary stone and wood, not like the stone brick construction of the castle.
This left Fang Hao feeling somewhat regretful.
If this place was also a stone brick construction, he would have arranged for people to dismantle it and obtain the stone bricks.
Stepping into the hall, it was spacious and bright.
“Take down all these curtains and lamps, but be careful not to damage them,” Fang Hao started ordering as soon as he entered the house.
The skeletons got to work.
The Orc camp was obviously not as wealthy as the vampire castle.
Antler chandeliers bearing candles burned halfway were hung around, not the Nightstones found in the vampire castle.
Of course, Fang Hao wasn’t discriminative and planned to take them all.
The skeletons began to carry the furniture out of the room, while Fang Hao sat in the chair in the center, scrutinizing it from left to right.
This chair was undoubtedly Chief Kent’s.
Orcs were robust in size, but when Fang Hao sat down, it seemed somewhat oversized.
“Alright, carry it out,” Fang Hao rose and instructed for the chair to be carried out as well.
No matter whether it could be used or not, it would be transported back first.
The hall was soon emptied.
Fang Hao then continued to raid a few bedrooms. All kinds of furniture, ornaments, curtains, and quilts were moved out, waiting to be transported away collectively.
Inside the master bedroom.
While the skeletons carried the goods, Fang Hao’s gaze landed on a golden treasure chest placed against the wall.
This was the second golden treasure chest he had seen.
His heart felt a strange sense of excitement.
“Heavens above, Earth below. As the decree of the venerable Lord Taishang says, ‘evil be gone, fortune come, and great wealth to the entire household!”1
After silently chanting for a while, Fang Hao directly opened the treasure chest.
[Obtained: Cavalry Training Camp Blueprint, Fine Single-Edged Blade Blueprint (green), Quarry Building Blueprint, Leather Saddle Blueprint (white), Warfire Coin+320, Beast Tooth+35.]
The harvest wasn’t too bad.
Even though there weren’t any particularly surprising items, there were a Cavalry Training Camp blueprint and a green equipment blueprint.
Once cavalry units were recruited and green single-edged blades produced, the overall strength of the territory would be greatly enhanced.
[Beast Tooth]
[Category: Ore]
(Description: A rare ore required for building construction by the Orc Clan.)
It was shaped like a crescent moon, like a beast’s tooth.
Fang Hao had collected a fair amount of ores from different races.
Shadowstone from the Undead Clan, Blood Stone from the Blood Clan, and now Beast Tooth from the Orc Clan.
All the blueprints were added to the Book of Lords, and the Warfire Coins and Beast Tooth were packed into the bag.
He then got up and left the chieftain’s hall.
Inside the hall, except for the house, all the furniture and utensils had been moved outside.
The skeletons were still sweeping through the territory.
Fang Hao’s gaze, on the other hand, landed on a pasture not far away.
It was the pasture of the War Axe Tribe, where hundreds of unicorns had been tamed and kept in the corral.
These unicorns were obviously domesticated, eating and resting peacefully, oblivious to the invasion of their territory.
Even when the skeletons passed by the corral, the unicorns only lazily glanced over.
They continued their meals and naps as usual.
Seeing these unicorns, Fang Hao’s heart immediately filled with joy once again.
He remembered the last time he had to capture a wild unicorn, he and his skeletons had spent over an hour chasing it down.
In the end, the unicorn managed to escape.
Now, I’ve successfully domesticated both male and female orcs.
“Take all the sheep away,” Fang Hao instructed the Skeleton, and after a thought, he added worriedly, “I want them alive, all tied up, and brought back to my territory.”
The Skeleton entered the sheepfold and began to tie up the unicorns one by one.
When all the resources were transported out, Fang Hao started to tally them up.
[Resources: 3 Wriggling Spines, 51208 Wood, 28503 Stone, 8575 Thatch, 111850 Leather, 842 Iron, 520 Copper, 524 Warfire Coins.]
[Miscellaneous: 442 baskets of fruits, 95520 units of meat, 1120 units of salt, 324 unicorns.]
[Furniture: 20000 simple wooden beds, 8000 various cabinets, 4000 sets of tables and chairs, 4 antler chandeliers, various pots, bowls, spoons, and pans, assorted curtains and fabrics.]
The amount gathered this time was quite substantial.
If it wasn’t for the limited number of soldiers he had brought with him, Fang Hao would have wanted to dismantle the doors and windows of the orc’s dwelling and take everything away.
Fang Hao brought out the Book of Lords and immediately used the hundred-fold amplification to create 30,000 carts, onto which he secured all the acquired materials.
However, he soon realized,
that even so, this batch couldn’t transport all the resources back.
It seemed a second trip was needed.
Luckily, it was still early, and there was plenty of time.
He picked several carts of important materials for the first trip and decided to return to his territory.
“Let’s go, back home.”
Leaving the gates of the Battle Axe territory slightly ajar, the team majestically returned to their own territory.
From a distance, watching Fang Hao leading the team back, Eira ordered the Skeleton soldiers to open the city gates and welcome them.
“Master…,” Eira called out joyfully.
It was far better to stay with Fang Hao than with these skeletons.
Thankfully, she was no longer as scared as she initially was when she realized the skeleton soldiers wouldn’t hurt her.
“Hmm, these are all the spoils from the orc’s territory. Replace your bed and look around to see what else you need and arrange them yourself,” Fang Hao said while directing the skeleton soldiers to unload the goods at the designated spots.
Eira’s eyes widened as she looked at the piles of items on the carts of the skeleton troops.
And the hundreds of unicorns grazing leisurely.
It was as if they had raided a house; how did they bring back so much from just one trip.
“Oh, okay,” Eira responded.
Fang Hao nodded, ordering the skeletons to lead the unicorns into the paddock.
Because of its first-level status, the paddock was immediately crowded with more than 300 unicorns.
With ample resources, he immediately upgraded the paddock.
[Level 2 Paddock: 1500 Wood, 1200 Stone, 800 Thatch, 400 Hemp Ropes.]
[Level 3 Paddock: 2200 Wood, 1800 Stone, 1600 Thatch, 800 Hemp Ropes, 200 Leather.]
The paddock was upgraded to level three and instantly became twice as large, in no way inferior to the orc’s paddock.
After all the hustle, Fang Hao told Eira, “I need to make another trip, you continue to look after the house.”
After saying this, he led the skeletons, who had finished unloading, on their way.
They returned to the orc’s territory to continue transporting the remaining goods.
Nearing twilight,
they started to return to their territory with the second batch of goods.
The marching speed of these infantrymen, especially the skeleton infantry, was too slow, and most of the time was wasted on the road.
Once he recruits cavalry, the marching speed will increase.
Lying on one of the carts, he chose a comfortable position and opened the Book of Lords to see how everyone else was doing.
They had been fighting from morning till evening.
It should have ended by now; after all, they couldn’t keep up a battle of attrition for a whole day.
Indeed, the surviving lords were discussing their victories and gains.
As long as they survived, the meat from the slain beasts was enough to feed their territories for several days.
Suddenly, a message caught Fang Hao’s attention.
It was from Zhang Bin, whose territory was not far from his own and always encountered skeletons while fishing in the river.
“Can someone please save me, I can’t hold on any longer. I am willing to give you all my resources. Please, someone, help me..”
