Fang Hao deactivated his God’s Presence mode and sat up in bed.
He walked straight out of the lord’s cabin.
The existence of more than 50 seventh-tier troops was unexpected for Fang Hao.
No wonder there were no tribes near the ogre base.
They must have either been annihted long ago.
Ending up as food in the bellies of the ogres.
Even Fang Hao felt some hesitation at this point.
Destroying the ogre base would result in heavy casualties.
It was uncertain whether this was worthwhile.
Just as Fang Hao was deep in thought, a worker skeleton walked by him, carrying in its hands newly-finished iron castings.
Seeing the iron castings, a light bulb seemed to go off in his head.
That’s right, he still had the newly-acquired equipment blueprint.
Once all the troops upgrade their equipment and increase their defense, heavy losses may not necessarily be incurred.
With this thought in mind, Fang Hao’s confidence surged once again, and he decided to face off against these ogres.
He checked the manufacturing column.
He had received three types of new equipment blueprints.
[te Armor (green), Arm Bracers (green), Small Iron Round Shield (green).]
A total of three green-level blueprints.
The blueprints for the te armor and arm bracers were obtained from the Bronze Bull.
Since he previously did not have any iron te blueprints, he didn’t upgrade the equipment.
In the chest he obtained from attacking the mine yesterday, he got blueprints for a small iron round shield and ferrous metal production.
[te Armor: 12 leather, 6 iron, 4 iron tes.]
[Arm Bracers: 5 leather, 3 iron, 2 iron tes.]
[Small Iron Round Shield: 12 wood, 5 metal parts, 2 iron tes.]
The skeleton soldiers responsible for territorial security numbered 54,000, and were assigned to patrol the area around the territory.
Moreover, Fang Hao still had 18,867 Wriggling Spines unused.
If Fang Hao desired, he could summon a sea of undead to wipe out all enemies.
Of course, up to now, there hasn’t been a need to use all the wriggling spines. For the time being, he would equip the 54,000 skeleton soldiers.
He would produce 60,000 sets of equipment, including for the troops stationed at Pigmen Vige and Shadowwind Castle.
There were 174 iron casts in the warehouse.
He would start by producing iron tes.
[Iron te: 2 iron casts.]
All were made, totaling 87.
[Hundred-fold Ergement triggered, obtained 8,787 iron tes.]
Materials were sufficient, so he proceeded with equipment production.
He set the production number for te Armor, Arm Bracers, and Small Iron Round Shield to 600 each.
[Hundred-fold Ergement triggered, obtained 60,600 te Armors.]
[Hundred-fold Ergement triggered, obtained 60,600 Arm Bracers.]
[Hundred-fold Ergement triggered, obtained 60,600 Small Iron Round Shields.]
In an instant, numerous green lights appeared in the territory, making it appear as if the sky was falling.
Piles of equipment filled every corner around Fang Hao.
The quantities were muchrger than those obtained from any prior ergement.
Even Eira, who was in the cabin, heard the sound of iron armor shing, and she peekily looked out to investigate.
Fang Hao casually picked up some of the equipment to inspect it.
The te armor and arm bracers were leather armor wrapped in iron ting to improve their defensive properties. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The small iron round shield was a wooden shield covered with iron ting.
In short, the addition of these three pieces of equipment, increased the overall defense of the soldiers by more than double.
This would allow them to exert greaterbat power in battle.
Once equipment production wasplete, Fang Hao activated God’s Presence again, took possession of a skeleton cavalry, and gathered all the soldiers nearby to upgrade their equipment.
After all the soldiers had changed their equipment, Fang Hao immediately set out an army of 30,000 infantry, and 2,000 skeleton warriors armed with light crossbows, for a total force of 32,000.
Fang Hao returned to his room and used God’s Presence to possess a skeleton soldier.
Leading an army of ten thousand, they marched imposingly away from their territory, heading for the ogre stronghold.
Three hourster.
As the troops approached the stronghold, the frequently appearing nomadic animals were nowhere to be seen.
Aside from the rustling of the leaves when the breeze blew, not a hint of bird song or insect chirp could be heard.
“These ogres really are not to be trifled with. Even the birds dare not to approach.” Fang Hao looked around and muttered softly.
Indeed it was so.
Rank 7, was the highest rank of soldier Fang Hao had encountered since crossing over.
Neither the Orc Tribe nor themon Tauren warriors at Manim Market had reached this level.
Add to this the brutal and gluttonous nature of the ogres, turning the surrounding area into an isted zone without any beasts or viges.
The team continued to advance quickly, the iron armor of the soldiers clinking with friction.
Soon, they had advanced to a position not far from the stronghold.
The scale of the army, tens of thousands strong, also drew the attention of the ogres.
They rose from the ground one by one, huge clubs in hand.
Amidst their roars, more than 50 colossal ogresunched an attack.
The earth shook, leaves scattered in all directions.
“Archers, fire at will!” Fang Haomanded loudly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
Dense iron arrows whistled out, yet the ogres blocked their heads with their massive arms, their footsteps never hesitating for a moment.
Several ogres were promptly riddled with arrowheads, and blood flowed from their bodies and arms.
When the ogres were still five hundred meters away, Fang Hao issued themand for a full attack.
“Everyone attack, kill them all.”
At the same time, Fang Hao blew the War Horn.
Circle after circle of faint ripples enveloped all the skeleton soldiers, amplifying their movement speed and attacks.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!!
The thirty-thousand-strong skeleton corps mobilized.
Their footsteps gradually quickened, and finally, they were running full tilt, charging towards the oing ogres.
Boom!!
A loud crash.
The skeleton soldier in the lead was hit by the ogre’s massive club.
Like a kite with its string cut, it flew backwards,nding beside Fang Hao.
Fang Hao looked at the skeleton in front of him, which was still wobbling in an attempt to stand up again.
Its te armor, however, had already caved in, forming an eye-catching dent.
The skeleton soldier seemed to have not suffered much damage, he shook his head, paused for two seconds, and then continued to attack the ogre.
It seemed that the te armor yed a significant role.
If it was still wearing the previous simple leather armor, this skeleton, when hit, would definitely be crushed to pieces.
Boom, boom, boom!!
With each swing of their clubs, a number of skeleton soldiers were sent flying, crushed to pieces.
But the number of skeleton soldiers was like a swarm of locusts in a gue, fearlessly charging and attacking the target in front of them.
Fang Hao didn’t just watch the battle, he unsheathed his iron sword and joined the melee.
St, st!!
The skeleton soldiers desperately swung their weapons, but the ogres had thick skin and dense flesh. Although they were only wearing a covering cloth, it was difficult to inflict lethal damage on them.
In contrast, with each swing of the ogre’s wooden club, several skeletons were sent flying and crushed into piles of broken bones.
Fang Hao slid forward, dodging to the side of an ogre.
With two quick shes, he left two cut marks on the ogre’s sturdy, hairy thigh.
“This won’t work, going on like this.”
Seeing that the battle turning into a tug-of-war, Fang Hao began to consider other strategies.
At that moment, the ogre’s covering cloth caught Fang Hao’s attention.
Then, he revealed a cold smirk.
“You may have thick skin, but I don’t believe ‘it’ is as thick.”
Before his words fell, Fang Hao thrust his sword towards the ogre’s groin..
