Even if they were not chiefs or leaders, they maintained a prominent status.

You are all undoubtedly aware of shattered skulls fate.

Fongo continued.

This event is both a misfortune and a blessing for Frost Wind Mountain.

The orcs below fell silent, heads bowed, while some anxiously glanced at their companions.

Fong Ho proceeded.

The misfortune lies in the disruption of Frost Wind Mountains established rules necessitating the formation of new ones.

The blessing, however, is that the tyrant shattered skull has perished.

Henceforth, you shall no longer endure exploitation, nor will you be required to send your women to him each month.

This proclamation triggered considerable upheaval.

Much of the conflict among the tribes of Frost Wind Mountain stemmed from the tributes demanded by Sao.

Lacking sufficient resources and unable to refuse, they resorted to raiding neighboring tribes.

As long as they did not target Shattered Skull's faction, Sao remained indifferent to the rest.

Another type is the women.

The attractive females of the beast tribe have all been gifted to Sao, and none can deny their envy.

Silence fell as the chieftain began to speak.

The shaman struck his staff, forcefully commanding attention.

The crowd instantly quieted, awaiting Fong House forthcoming words.

Very well.

The new rules for the Frost Wind Mountains are still under formulation.

Prior to their official enactment, I shall establish a few regulations.

Should anyone dare to violate these, their race shall no longer warrant existence.

The chieftain speaks, the shaman interjected.

First, no one is permitted to engage in internal strife through pillaging or provocation.

Any violator shall be executed on site.

Second, your tribes are excessively fragmented.

All clans will be unified under shaman clay, limiting the number of tribes to 100.

Third, I shall assign you certain tasks in due time.

Those who resort to deceit and cunning should not complain if I am unyielding.

Chieftain, are these the laws of the human race? The shaman inquired for Fong how was indeed human.

And to them these regulations seemed more akin to human laws.

No, they're the laws of the undead.

You must understand that the era of mutual plunder and coveting one another's wealth has ended.

Now all existence relies on one as own efforts.

Fong house stated solemnly.

Yes, we shall obey the chieftain's command.

Now, Clay, assist them in consolidating the tribes, reducing their number to under 100.

Once completed, come to see me, Fongghao instructed, directing his gaze toward the shaman.

The shaman nodded and led all the tribal leaders to a side of the hall to begin the consolidation of the tribes.

The orcs withdrew to the periphery, allowing Fong the opportunity to examine his lord's book.

Upon taking the chieftain's seat, he received a system notification.

Skull crushing tribe has become your subordinate city.

You may rename the city here and access all resources of the tribe and its affiliated villages.

Funhao pondered, feeling that skull crushing tribe was rather unappealing.

He recalled a game where a city was named Frost Wind City, which suited this settlement perfectly.

Thus, he inscribed Frost Wind City in the naming section.

Name successfully changed.

Frost Wind City level seven original city attributes mineral extraction 30 gold tax 10 reproduction 10 description a city with attributes that can provide various benefits accelerating construction and development so there are additional attributes he mused moreover this city is not of low level reaching level seven blueprints unlocked hero alter construction blueprint smelting furnace construction blueprint forging bellow's production blueprint.

Beast head heavy shield production blueprint.

He had indeed acquired a substantial number of blueprints.

Hero alter orange category special building ability resurrection resurrection essence of life one mythil 20 faction materials 20 vcoins transformation production summoning and other hero units cannot be resurrected.

Resurrection can resurrect hero units of this faction.

Soul confinement and soul destruction will render resurrection impossible.

Description: Here you can revive your valiant subordinates.

However, this world invariably harbors methods to shatter your soul's confinement.

Be wary of those who meddle with the dead.

Construction requirements: Resilient wood 5500, stone bricks 5,000, iron 2200, marks of devotion 20, marks of the divine 10, perfect essence 30.

With this construction, heroes may be resurrected.

Yet, Fong Hao is acutely aware that this altar can only facilitate resurrection under circumstances of normal hero demise.

For instance, the Beastmen heroes slain recently under Neielen's manipulation could not be resurrected successfully.

Neielson possesses the ability to prohibit resurrection, and it is certain that the top powers of other factions wield similar capabilities.

Thus, strength remains the fundamental strategy to mitigate casualties rather than resurrection.

Proceed to examine the second blueprint.

Smelting furnace category.

Building products.

Cast iron blocks.

White steel ingots.

Refined iron.

Description.

Heating yields processed metals.

Utilized in manufacturing and alchemical materials.

Chapter 219.

The cold wind sands.

Upon discovering the information about the smelting furnace, Fungha's heart surged with joy.

He could now produce white steel ingots, enabling him to manufacture and equip his numerous white steel blueprints in bulk.

The overall attributes of the army would witness a significant enhancement.

Forge blower green tough wood five thick leather five metal parts 4.

Description: A simple device designed to generate air flow, directing air into the smelting furnace for the purpose of forging iron.

He had seen a blower on television, a device utilized to intensify the flames of the furnace.

It served as an auxiliary apparatus for the smelting furnace.

Only one blueprint remained.

Beast head heavy shield, blue tough wood one, cast iron block 5, white steel plate two, white steeling its two.

Description: A heavy shield designed for orc heavy infantry offering exceptional defense while imposing a greater burden on the troops.

fond how I'd witnessed the finished product of the beast head heavy shield amidst the spoils of battle.

It was a round shield intricately carved with the visage of a colossal beast's head exuding an air of majesty.

With ample materials at hand, he could proceed to craft these shields for his infantry.

After perusing the blueprints, Fongo continued to inspect the warehouse of the Skullcrusher tribe.

To his astonishment, he discovered an abundance of ores within.

The stockpile of stone alone reached 2 million while iron or exceeded 200,000.

Additionally, there were substantial reserves of copper, silver, and even salt peter and sulfur.

This further validated Fong How's initial thoughts.

The cold wind mountains were rich in mineral resources adequately addressing the or demands of his territory.

At that moment, Shaman Kai approached.

Great Chief, I have arranged for the trib's numbers to be reduced to 100, but the merger and relocation of the tribe will require a few days.

Fonggha nodded an acknowledgement, replying, "You may handle this matter as you see fit.

You and the others may call me Lord.

There is no need to address me as great chief.

" The title of great chief seemed more suitable as a term of respect within a tribe.

Although it sounded quite imposing, the growing number of heroes within the territory rendered such titles somewhat chaotic, it was more appropriate to adopt a unified form of address, aligning with the identity bestowed by the book of lords.

Understood.
