The lord affiliated with the troll tribe.
Boss Fong Hao, I wish to exchange some equipment and provisions with you.
Recently, Fong Ho had noticed Su Yong s increased activity within the channel from his initial acquisition of battle axes akin to lumberjack tools to his recent procurement of armor.
These actions hinted at an upheaval within the troll tribe, presenting Su Yang with an opportunity to extricate himself from their grasp.
Of course, such opportunities must be pursued discreetly as it was not yet time for open conflict.
Isn't there a risk if the trolls discover your equipment exchange? Fonga replied, then awaited Su Yong s response in silence.
Indeed, Su Yang<unk>s subsequent message confirmed the gravity of the situation within the troll tribe.
They are currently too preoccupied to concern themselves with me.
Boss, please see what I can exchange.
Whether I can escape with my people depends on your support.
He sent a plethora of items including troll heavy shield blueprint, troll ram horn helmet blueprint, black iron flying axe blueprint, troll stone 172, savage trace 5, violent trace 12, destruction essence 8, iron 122, ramhorn 15, and more.
It appeared as though he was preparing to abandon his territory.
Are you planning to leave your domain? The current situation leaves no room for speculation.
Su Yong has sold all his possessions with the intention of departing.
The trolls will inevitably come for us.
So, I plan to take this opportunity to live among humans.
Whether I become a lord is of little consequence compared to the alternative of being devoured, Su Yong reiterated, "Very well.
How many people do you have? What kind of equipment do you require?" Fungho inquired directly.
I have 124 individuals.
I need leather armor and a one-handed sword along with 200 portions of portable food.
What do you think? Esteem, sir, Su Yang responded.
Su Yang possessed no soldiers.
All 124 were farmers.
He realized that excessively heavy equipment would hinder their escape, hence his request for leather armor and a one-handed sword.
While they had some food, they feared that they might not escape the bloody mountains in a timely manner, thus intending to purchase additional supplies from Fong Ho.
Certainly.
How about this set of equipment? Funhao proposed Erland Guard thick leather armor set green, which enhances movement speed and morale recovery.
The one-handed sword is this black iron knight sword.
I will provide you with meat muffins for easy transport.
They taste quite decent as well.
Fonggho promptly sent over the illustrations.
All right, this is wonderful.
Thank you, esteemed Fongghao, Su Yong replied with evident excitement.
It was only through Fongghao that he could exchange for such an abundance of green equipment.
However, Fong Hoa's subsequent words dowsted his enthusiasm with cold reality.
Su Yang, your items cannot be exchanged for nearly 600 pieces of green equipment.
Chapter 354.
The brain stem clay sculpture.
The Elon Hard as thick leather armor set comprises four pieces complemented by a green one-handed sword totaling 620 pieces of equipment.
Su Yang<unk>s possessions appear varied, yet their worth remains rather modest.
It is improbable to exchange such a meager collection for an abundance of green gear.
Boss, I understand that my items are somewhat limited, but I genuinely require this equipment.
I shall repay what I owe you gradually.
Su Yang sent another message.
He was acutely aware that his scattered belongings could not procure such a substantial amount of gear, especially those with set attributes.
However, his need for these items was dire.
Surviving alone in the wilderness was nearly impossible, and he relied heavily on the villagers.
Without armor and sustenance, the villagers loyalty would inevitably wain, leading to potential complications during their escape.
Noticing Fong Ha's temporary silence.
Su Yang felt a surge of anxiety.
Just as he contemplated pleading with Fong How once more, he saw a response appear.
Are you in the bloodthirsty mountains? The moment Su Yang read the message, his brow furrowed in confusion.
He scoured his previous conversations.
Realizing he had never mentioned the bloodthirsty mountains.
How could Fong Hao know of his location? Curiosity peaked, but with nothing to conceal, he replied, "Boss, how did you know about the bloodthirsty mountains?" Fongo continued, "What is happening over there? Please elaborate.
" Su Yong felt the touch bewildered, but since Fong Hoa's keen interest in the bloodthirsty mountains, could it be that Fong Ho was near that area? That seemed implausible given his close ties with the undead and there had been no word of undead forces in that vicinity.
Glancing at his remaining messages, Su Yang chose to explain, "The tribe I am affiliated with is called the Rockhead Tribe, which holds some prestige in the bloodthirsty mountains.
Recently, the Rockhead tribe plans to unite with other tribes to launch an offensive against the Bloodthroat tribe.
Su Yang meticulously recounted all he knew, including the discussions from the recent troll meetings.
After absorbing Su Yang<unk>s information, Fong Hao felt a subtle shift within him.
Indeed, the trolls were beginning to fracture internally.
Su Yang, I can only provide you with 50 sets of armor and 20 weapons.
However, if you can obtain a map detailing the positions and routes of the various tribes in the bloodthirsty mountains, I shall bestow upon you the remaining equipment and weaponry.
Fonggha sent another message.
The internal strife in the bloodthirsty mountains was for Fongo a fortuitous development, unveiling an opportunity to address the threats looming from the north.
Yet, he was resolute in his decision to refrain from deploying troops at this time.
Should the undead launch an assault on the bloodthirsty mountains, it would significantly bolster the trolls unity once more.
Only when they were thoroughly exhausted from conflict or one side emerge victorious would he consider an offensive against the mountains, aiming to seize the entire range in one decisive sweep.
Of course, this was merely Fong's perspective.
The essential prerequisite for the attack remained a detailed map of the bloodthirsty mountains.
The value of hundreds of pieces of green gear was not to be underestimated.
It all hinges on whether Su Yang is willing to take a risk.
Upon receiving a message from Fong Hao, Suyangs expression turned grave.
Mapping out the Blood Mountain Range is no trivial task that can be accomplished in a short span of time.
However, it is not without its avenues.
To launch an offensive against the Bloodthroat tribe, the Rockhead Tribe has already crafted a detailed attack map.
This is his sole opportunity to obtain such a map.
Yet, it comes with the peril of losing his life.
If the trolls catch wind of his intentions, there would be no chance to escape.
Nevertheless, everything is worth a try.
Gritting his teeth, Su Yang replied decisively, "All right, it's settled.
I will exert every effort to procure the map.
Equip me when the time comes.
Fortune favors the bold.
Fongs equipment is worth this risk.
" Understood.
Kimi updated on any developments, Fongghao responded.
The two reach an agreement and promptly closed the Lord's book.
After breakfast, Fong Hao meticulously organized the items in his storage space, removing materials that were of no use.
He restocked some weapons, potions, useful tools, and detonators.
The detonators need not be carried on his person, as he had no fear of them exploding.
With everything prepared, Fong Hao and Jia and Dmitri set off once more towards Gray Bear Village.
This endeavor was in line with the previously accepted task, village Roden Infestation.
Upon arriving at the village, they summoned a 100 mountain bandits clad in storm heavy armor.
The grand procession set forth targeting a village near Ley City.
The journey was not a short one.
Despite their haste, it took 3 hours to finally glimpse the village.
Initially, Fongghao presumed the village would be modest in scale.
However, upon arrival, he found it to be nearly the size of a small town with a population nearing a thousand.
The sight of over a hundred of Fongous men approaching stirred quite a commotion.
