Jang Bin and Fu Lei were primarily focused on agricultural development and lack substantial combat prowess.
In contrast, he possessed ample military strength, rendering both the rebels and mountain bandits unlikely to pose a significant threat.
Moreover, the task Wayfair's passing through did not seem to suggest a combat situation, potentially offering unique rewards.
He chose to have a main city undertake it directly.
Event tasks confirmed.
Rebel threat.
Mountain Bandits descend.
Wayfairers passing through.
Event countdown 9 hours 58 minutes 23 seconds.
Wishing you good fortune.
Ding.
At this moment, a message from Jeang Bin appeared in the territory channel.
Boss, you've taken on all the tasks yourself.
Fool echoed.
Thank you, boss.
Such event tasks invariably carried a degree of danger.
Even though wayfairers passing through sounded benign, who could ascertain their good intentions? No worries.
These battles aren't overly challenging.
Just focus on managing your territories.
All right, boss.
Thank you.
The two expressed their gratitude once more.
As Fong Ho assumed responsibility for the battles, alleviating their burdens, he closed the territory channel and reopened the regional channel.
As expected, discussions regarding the matter were rife.
What do you think would happen if I abandoned the city and returned after the event time expired? Would that count as a success or failure? Success.
I have a friend who did just that during the natural revenge event.
Once the time elapsed, the enemies vanished and he returned, but the resources within the territory suffered significantly and the buildings were damaged.
Oh, thanks big shot.
I understand now.
What on earth is the undead patrol? Will the undead be showing up tomorrow? What should we do about them? Should we use talismans or crosses? Does anyone know? Definitely crosses.
Talismans are for dealing with bouncing zombies, right? Also, prepare some garlic.
I have encountered the undead and the cross proved ineffective as I experienced firsthand.
Is there anyone upstairs with the expertise to impart knowledge on how to confront them? How would I know? I fled with my companions and did not engage them directly.
You might inquire with the esteemed Fong Ho.
His merchants are skeletons and likely belong to the undead category.
Indeed, Fong Ho, my lord, tomorrow in my territory there will be the undead.
Could you assist me in discerning their weaknesses? Remarkably, you have tagged yourself.
The undead possess various characteristics, and there are many types of them.
After some contemplation, Fongo responded, "The undead fear light-based spells.
If you have a means to obtain them, they should prove significantly effective.
" Huh? I am merely consuming stamina potions, and I have no means to procure light spells.
Are there any alternative methods? Fong, how continued.
Low tier undead possess limited intelligence.
Creating traps and obstacles could be highly effective.
Thank you.
I am in your debt, my lord.
I shall commence digging traps immediately.
I'm a mountain bandit.
Do you have any strategies or techniques, Fonggha? My lord, how should one combat the orc marauders? Many began to pose inquiries to Fong Ho.
Even though they had their own plans in mind, they still sought his counsel as if he possessed a comprehensive guide to overcoming challenges.
He simply offered some brief advice and did not elaborate further.
His success was not merely due to possessing a formidable intellect, but rather the characteristic of exponentially increasing troops.
Some matters are easily misunderstood if stated inaccurately.
He ended the regional channel and swallowed the last morsel of food.
Upon entering the hall, he summoned the blood hunter.
Shortly thereafter, the blood hunter entered, addressing him, "My lord, you summon me?" Fong replied, "Yes.
Shortly, you shall patrol the vicinity of the territory to observe if any unusual structures have emerged.
" "Understood, my lord.
I shall set out immediately.
Be cautious and report back if you discover anything," Fonhau advised.
"Yes, my lord.
" The Blood Hunter exited the Lord's Hall and mounted the Skeletal Dragon, departing towards the territo's outskirts.
An hour later, the Blood Hunter descended before the Lord's Hall at top the skeletal dragon.
He swiftly entered the hall, stating, "My lord, I have discovered two encampments.
They are well constructed, but devoid of inhabitants.
" Indeed, this was reminiscent of the previous task, Natural Punishment, where structures would materialize upon the tasks issuance.
The enemies would only appear once the task countdown concluded.
Where are the encampments located? And what is their scale? Funghow inquired further.
The northern encampment is larger, estimated to accommodate thousands, while the eastern encampment is somewhat smaller, resembling a quaint village.
The blood hunter responded.
I see.
Fungho nodded.
It appears there is a direct correlation between the size of the encampments and their population.
The task indicated that the rebels number 30,000.
Hence, it must pertain to the northern encampment while the smaller one likely belongs to the mountain bandits numbering few.
Funha gestured to a maid to summon Ditiga and Anja.
Yes, my lord.
Within the heart of the city for heroes reside, Nelson, Blood Hunter, Anja, and Domiga.
Nelson is preoccupied with crafting the remaining skeletal heroes and regrettably cannot partake in tomorrow's mission.
Thus, he must delegate tasks to the remaining three heroes.
As the maid returns, she's followed by Ditiga while Anja descends from the upper floor and takes a seat nearby.
Fun House speaks up.
Two enemy camps have emerged to the north and east of our territory.
They will launch an assault in the morning.
My lord, where are your instructions? Domiga, you shall oversee the larger camp to the north.
Arrange our forces to encircle them.
Let not a single one escape.
Fongghao commands.
Understood, my lord.
Domiga replies with a nod.
Fong Hao then turns to Anja.
Anja, you're in charge of the eastern camp while Blood Hunter remains in the city.
Very well.
Both respond in unison.
That night, Domiga and Anja, shrouded in darkness, venture to assess the two vacant territories and made their preparations.
The following morning, Fungha calls out from the doorway, "Ana, rise and shine.
We have tasks to attend to.
After several calls met with silence, he muses.
No response.
That cannot be.
