Chapter 398: Chapter 378, ckfoot Cat Joins_2


    It gave off an unreal feeling.


    Seeing Lorrey return, Fang Hao also rxed a bit.


    In these past few days, Anjia kept saying that Lorrey was not good at riding and could fall to her death, or she could fall into a river since she wasn’t very tall and couldn’t touch the bottom.


    Fang Hao started to worry, tormenting himself with the idea that Lorrey could encounter some danger on the way.


    Now that she had returned safely, his apprehensive heart settled down.


    His gaze fell again on the elderly ckfoot Cat.


    The elderly ckfoot Cat, about 1.3 to 1.4 meters in height, wore a grayish linen attire and had a tree-root walking stick in his hand.


    It looked like he was the n leader of the ckfoot Cat Tribe.


    “Good, you’re back safely. Make yourselffortable,” Fang Hao also settled himselffortably in his seat.


    The two rose to their feet.<div>


    The old man carefully sat down on a chair.


    Meanwhile, Lorrey picked up a ss, fetched two cups of fruit wine from the cer, and ced them in front of the old man and herself.


    “Lorrey, why did it take you so long?” Fang Hao curiously asked.


    Letting Lorrey ride the Bone Dragon was not only to avoid danger along the way but also to save time.


    Yet, Lorrey was gone for more than a week.


    If she hadn’t returned soon, Fang Hao would have sent people out to look for her.


    “Don’t get me started, my Lord. It’s all because of that damned ckstone Tribe. If it wasn’t for being cautious of them, I would have brought everyone back much sooner. We wouldn’t have had to endure the harshness of the road,”ined Lorrey, swinging her small legs.


    Cough, cough!


    The old man gave a light cough and shot Lorrey a stare, indicating her to stop talking unnecessarily.


    Fang Hao also caught the implication. It seemed that the migration of the ckfoot Cats was due to some conflict with the Orc Tribe.


    “Tell me more about your disputes with the ckstone Tribe,” Fang Hao looked at the two.


    Before Lorrey could answer, the old man was the first to speak.


    “Lord, we used to live near Tasgo City. Some conflicts arose between us and the ckstone Tribe. Out of desperation, we thought of moving to a new ce to look for a stronger lord for protection,” said the old man as he set his walking stick aside, knelt down and bowed deeply.


    Even though Fang Hao’s territory seemed dangerous, it was undoubtedly powerful.


    It held a formidable military strength that a lot could fear.


    Only Fang Hao had the capacity to offer them protection and not be threatened by the ckstone Tribe.


    “Is the ckstone Tribe very powerful? How many members do they have? What caused the conflict between you two?” Fang Hao expressed the questions he had in mind.


    Having assured Lorrey, Fang Hao would naturally not drive these people away.


    Even so, he needed to know who he was about to face off with.<div>


    “My Lord, the ckstone Tribe is arge Orc Tribe with tens of thousands of robust members. During a previous hunt, the young members of our tribe identally entered the hunting range of the ckstone Tribe, leading us to be oppressed by them all this while. Helplessly, we thought of migrating to survive elsewhere,” the old man exined.


    In the end, he didn’t forget to add, “But rest assured, Lord. The actions of the ckfoot Cats have always been covert. We have been very cautious all the way, and we have definitely not brought you any trouble.”


    That’s how it tends to be with the Orc Tribes.


    Without fixed rules, the tribe with more strength and robust members would have absolute say.<div>


    If your vigecks strength and has a small poption.


    You would have to be at the mercy of powerful tribes.


    If you were dependent on a reasonablerger tribe, that would still be bearable. But if you encountered an unreasonable one, your vige would be done for.


    Not all races could be like the ckfoot Cats, decisively abandoning their original vige and seeking a new settlement.


    Hearing the old man’s words, Fang Hao instinctively nced at Lorrey who was standing aside.


    Lorrey was simple-minded with a straightforward look on her face and she couldn’t lie to Fang Hao because of their contractual binding.


    Seeing Lorrey’s calm demeanor, Fang Hao knew that the old man was telling him the truth.


    He wasn’t afraid of the ckstone Tribe with just tens of thousands of members.


    If they dared to chase them here, they would only be courting death.


    Fang Hao didn’t press the matter any further.


    Opening the topic, he said, “Have you chosen a settlement? Thends at Crescent Heights are fertile, and the poption is scarce. It seems quite suitable for living.”


    On hearing this, a joyous expression flickered across the old man’s face.


    Just as he was about to agree, Lorrey jumped up like a startled cat.<div>


    “No, no! We’ll just find a ce nearby,” said Lorrey, keeping on giving hints to the old man.


    The old man also immediately perceived the issue.


    Keeping up with Lorrey, he said, “Yes, we can establish a vige nearby. Our vige’s poption isn’trge, so a vast ce isn’t needed.”


    “Alright.”


    The few of them discussed about it while looking at the map.


    Finally, the two of them chose a location in the northeast direction of the main city, where the gnoll camp was situated.


    That ce was the location of Fang Hao’s first battle after arriving, and after he had killed the gnolls, the camp had been vacant.


    The location was fairly good, and all the buildings were ready-made.


    There wasn’t much problem with the ckfoot Cats wanting to develop a vige in that area, especially since they only had a poption of over 200 people.


    Once the location was chosen, Fang Hao allocated some resources to them.


    Lorrey and the elder took their people directly to the site of their new vige.


    …


    After breakfast.<div>


    Fang Hao still had some work to do.


    He went straight to the industrial zone, opened the Book of Lords, and found the blueprint for the “Precision Stone Processing Factory”.


    “Precision Stone Processing Factory: Wood 3000, Tough Wood 1800, Stone Material 2200, Stone Brick 1200, Iron 420, Metal Parts 120.”


    He found an empty piece ofnd.


    And chose to build it right away.


    A sh of light rose instantly, piecing together the outline of a precision stone processing factory.


    When the light dissipated, the factory appeared before his eyes.


    “Precision Stone Processing Factory”


    “cement: Workers 0/10.”


    “Raw Material: Stone Brick 2”


    “Producing: Precision Stone Brick”


    (Description: Through processing, stone bricks can be made into denser products, precision stone bricks.)


    Fang Hao immediately brought in ten skeletonborers and tasked them with working in the precision brick factory.<div>


    The skeletons immediately got to work, moving stone bricks from the storage facility to the factory for processing.


    Precision stone brick is a material required for the upgrade of a Level 10 Lord’s Mansion, which also means it will be used inrge quantities for future building upgrades.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Whether for his own upgrades or for sale in the channel.


    The demand is significant.


    Fang Hao simply went ahead and built 20 more processing factories to increase production simultaneously.


    For the purpose of increasing the speed of precision brick production.


    After building the precision brick processing nts, Fang Hao went to the quarry area and constructed 5rge-scale quarries.


    He demolished all the originalmon quarries, and transferred the workers to therge-scale quarries for stone gathering.


    Uponpleting the construction of these two new blueprint facilities.


    Fang Hao increased the number of tile kilns to fifty to improve work efficiency.


    Only when he had finished arranging everything did Fang Hao return to the lord’s mansion.


    …


    With nothing to do in thete morning.


    After studying books in his room for a while, he used God’s Presence to check on the construction status of the ckfoot Cats’ vige.


    The ckfoot Cats aren’t tall, but they’re quite active.


    The buildings in the vige had already been cleaned out, and the vige elders were instructing several male ckfoot Cats to repair the broken vige gate.


    Actually, they had ample time. They were safe thanks to the protection of the Fief. Nothing posed a threat to them there.


    There was no need to worry about the ckstone Tribe, let alone any fearsome wild animals that wouldn’t daree close to this area.


    Whether they installed the vige gate earlier orter made little difference.


    However, the swift actions of these ckfoot Cats did catch Fang Hao’s attention.


    Most of the adult ckfoot Cats had reached a level of five or six.


    What’s more, like Lorrey, they had the ability to scale walls and leap over rooftops, disying great agility.


    They seemed to be an excellent choice for a scouting troop, capable of gathering special intelligence.


    Knock knock knock!


    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.


    He disengaged God’s Presence, got up, and opened the door to see Eira standing outside.


    “Master, Schr Nelson is waiting for you outside.”


    “Oh, okay!”


    Fang Hao then went downstairs and out of the lord’s mansion.


    Outside, Nelson was silently waiting on a bench.


    Upon seeing Fang Haoe out.


    He stood up and said, “My Lord, the materials for the totem are ready, and we can start drawing at any time.”
