Thus, they marked them with hats, neck rings, and even shaved the fur off their backsides for distinction.

All right, you direct them to commence digging traps according to Hi Jing<unk>s plan.

The sooner they finish, the sooner we can wrap up, Fong Ho instructed, gesturing towards Hi Jing.

Oh, understood.

Jeang Bin led the ironclawed mice outside, initiating the excavation of traps as planned.

The sight of over 500 ironclaw mice furiously digging was indeed a spectacular one.

At that moment, two more skeletal dragons descended from sky and ja leaped off one of the dragons followed closely by Petty.

Meanwhile, from the second skeletal dragon, nine orcs were unceremoniously dropped.

Upon landing, they immediately knelled on the ground, their legs giving way beneath them.

Here, this is the slave contract.

In total, there are nine tribes.

We have just annihilated four of them, and Ja handed over a stack of slave contracts.

Chapter 200.

The information of the Faceless Ones at Fong's Behest.

Petty summoned the chieftains of the northern orc villages under the pretense of discovering a large iron mine.

This morning, they had all gathered in the Pigman village.

Naturally, given the temperament of the orcs, they would not approach the discussion of mining rights in a peaceful manner.

They arrived with shouts of violence, some even bringing troops with the intention of seizing the Pigman village and enslaving its inhabitants for labor amidst the chaos while Petty was drenched in cold sweat.

And Jia yawned and led the undead army to encircle all the orcs.

At that moment, the orcs who had boisterously threatened violence realized they had been deceived by the pigmen.

There was no mine.

It was merely a ruse to lure them in.

After Enja executed several disobedient chieftains, silence fell over the gathering.

They quietly signed the slave contracts and their subordinates were dismissed while the chieftains were sent to Fong Hao.

Fong Hao accepted the slave contracts and recorded them in the Lord's Book.

Despite having brought back nine, he was still somewhat astonished to hear that four had been killed.

So many had to die, he mused.

But there was no choice.

Without a few executions, they would not behave.

and Jia lamented.

"Indeed," Fongha replied, turning his gaze back to the orc chieftains kneeling before him.

Each one appeared notably submissive, and it seemed that Injia was the most effective in dealing with them.

According to work customs, you are now my slaves.

I possess the power to determine your fates and offer you protection from other races.

The nine orcs remain silent, merely bowing their heads in submission.

There will be a formidable troll army launching an assault from the north.

I require you to cease your infighting, unite, and together vanquish the troll legion.

Upon victory, you shall continue to reside in your respective villages, and I will safeguard your safety as your lord.

Fong how proclaimed loudly, one might label the orcs as greedy or simple-minded.

Had Fongghow not resolved the situation here, these orc tribes whom he hardly regarded, would foolishly come to harass him, like naive young deer, wondering what mischief they could cause or what treasures they might seize.

They lacked the foresight to consider that if they could not withstand the trolls, their villages would also suffer.

In response to Fong How's words, they fell silent.

No, no, we are willing to heed our master's commands.

One particularly her suit orc replied.

You may call me lord.

Fongghao instructed.

Yes, my lord.

The orc responded.

Hey Jing.

Fonhao called gently.

Hey Jing approached.

My lord.

I entrust these individuals to you.

Assign them tasks and ensure they remain occupied.

Fonggha directed.

Understood my lord.

As the blood fortress was established.

Fungho appointed h Jing as the city's guardian hero.

Aside from the beastly soldiers mobilized to the fortress, a multitude of undead were also on route.

They would soon impede the trolls assault.

In truth, the situation was manageable.

Fonhow possessed a bone dragon.

With the advantages of the undead, aerial capabilities, and draconic breath, it seemed improbable that the trolls could overwhelm them.

As for the trolls orange hued hero, depleting the opposing forces and defeating him through sheer force should not pose a significant challenge.

Entrusting everything to Hijing, Fongghao returned to his territory with Anja.

As the bone dragon touched down, a rabbit made hurriedly approached.

"Master, a letter has arrived from the Faceless One's cabin," she exclaimed.

Startled, Fong Hao quickly made his way toward the cabin.

Indeed, two letters lay on the counter.

He opened the first, which contained intelligence regarding the skull crushing tribe.

320,000 Orc troops, three Orc heroes, departed this morning.

route uncertain map.

Upon seeing the staggering figure of 320,000 orcs, Fongo's brow furrowed once more.

Could the orcs reproduce so rapidly? Having previously annihilated an army of 300,000, they now amassed 320,000 a new, where could they possibly recruit such a substantial force? Given a typical marching pace, they would likely arrive near the territory in about 3 days.

If the orc army had any marching enhancements, they might arrive even sooner.

After perusing the first letter, Fong Ho opened the second.

480,000 troll troops, two troll heroes have set out.

Route bloodied mountains.

His heart tightened involuntarily.

The troll race inherently possessed formidable ranks and their numbers totaled an astonishing 480,000.

Would they truly mobilize their entire kin to eradicate him? Were both young and old from their tribe coming to bear arms? Summoned Bachelor Nielsen, Fongo commanded.

Before long, Neielson approached.

My lord, what is your command? Fongghao handed him the intelligence, stating, "The orcs and trolls have mobilized.

Battles are expected to unfold in the next couple of days.

" Neielson took the information and examined it earnestly.

The development of Fongous territory had been rapid.

if it continued to progress steadily.

Ascending to the pinnacle of power in the region was merely a matter of time.

Consequently, both Fong Hao and Neielen endeavored to elevate the territory through peaceful means.

Contrasting the Orcs proclivity for plunder.

Now, with these two barbar tribes launching an unrestrained offensive, should they falter, the advantages previously gained would dissipate instantaneously.

How shall we proceed? My lord, Neielson inquired.

After a moment of contemplation, Fongghao replied, "Our primary focus must be the trolls in the bloodied mountains, while the eastern flank, where the skull crushing tribe attacks, should be comparatively less strenuous.

" Fireblade and Copperbull will defend the east, while the remaining forces will concentrate on countering the troll tribe.

Neielson nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, my lord, there is no need for excessive concern.

With the current strength and resource reserves of the territory, we face no significant challenges.

The total military strength of the territory hovers around 700,000.

While the reserves of the wriggling spine within the warehouse exceed 110,000, provided that the campaign proceeds as expected, no significant issues should arise.

At worst, it will merely be a matter of troop losses.

The most crucial point is that Fong Hao must remain alive unless the enemy successfully executes a decapitation strike.
