Demitnja’s approach was more aggressive, actively going to war with Crescent Heights.
That was something Fang Hao had considered.
It seemed now that Demitrija and he had come to the same conclusion.
Last time, Black Thorn utilized the ability of “Conversing with the Dead” to interrogate the pale-blooded dead.
He learned that the military force of Crescent Heights wasn’t large, though there was no exact figure, it was probably in the tens of thousands.
In Fang Hao’s eyes, that couldn’t even be counted as an army.
The troops he stationed at any fortress exceeded one million, tens of thousands posed no threat whatsoever.
The only uncertainty was the leader of the Blood Clan at Crescent Heights, the Red Duke – Clemens Hamilton.
According to the pale-blooded, he was an orange hero, very powerful. “Blood Hunter, what do you think?” Fang Hao looked at Blood Hunter again. Blood Hunter thought for a bit, “Sir, Demitrija’s point makes sense, this territory has the ability to take Crescent Heights in one fell swoop, but I still believe that reinforcing the border defense can prevent the Blood Clan from retaliating against Pruell City.”
Fang Hao nodded, Blood Hunter made a good point.
He himself wasn’t too worried about the Blood Clan, but Pruell City could easily fall victim to their retaliation.
“Alright, Demitrija, prepare in the next few days. You’ll lead the team and proactively launch an attack on Crescent Heights.”
After consideration, Fang Hao decided to launch an attack.
He had always adopted the philosophy of ‘if others do not harm me, I will not harm them’ but it seemed that the Blood Clan saw him as an easy target. They were constantly causing trouble.
If that’s the case, then they couldn’t blame Fang Hao for being ruthless, and taking Crescent Heights in one go.
As for assigning Demitrija, it was because Clemens Hamilton, the Red Duke, was an orange hero. Blood Hunter probably couldn’t handle him.
To be safe, let Demitrija lead the attack, and have Blood Hunter defend the city. Yes, sir.” Demitrija nodded in response.
The three of them consulted the territory map and discussed potential problems they might encounter.
After a long discussion, they each left to take care of their own tasks.
After the two left, Fang Hao also left the lord’s mansion for the Faceless’ hut.
“Master.” The maid assigned to guard the hut greeted Fang Hao.
“Hmm, bring out the new order.” Fang Hao said.
“Alright.”
The maid brought out two orders.
The Faceless’ orders were updated every five days. The new orders had arrived two days ago but were not used immediately.
This time, with the war against the Blood Clan imminent, they could investigate some information first.
Write about the military strength and heroes of Crescent Heights on one, and on the second one write whether ‘Clement Hamilton’ is Chester, and if he has built any large structures or locations where treasures might be hidden.” Fang Hao instructed.
“Understood.”
The maid complied and began writing the requested information on the two orders according to Fang Hao’s instructions.
Once completed, she opened the mail chute next to her and dropped them in.
Now, all that was left was to wait.
Wait for the Faceless Hut to quote a price.
Fang Hao used one separately to investigate the ‘Red Duke – Clement Hamilton’, an idea that occurred to him.
He remembered getting a heart from the ancient tomb last time.
And seeing the name ‘Chester’ in the related notes.
Fang Hao had not initially connected ‘Red Duke’ with ‘Chester’, but last night when he saw the attribute name suggested by Fielding that was also called “Dusk Banqueters”, he connected the two in his mind.
It was highly likely that these two were the same person.
A few minutes later, a ‘clang’ sounded from the mail chute.
Upon opening it, a block with the number 600 written on it appeared.
It meant that the Faceless accepted this information, but the price was 600 Warfire Coins.
It was outrageously expensive.
Fang Hao took out 600 Warfire Coins and put them along with the wooden block into the chute. When the Warfire Coins disappeared, the agreement between the two parties had been reached.
Next, they had to wait for the Faceless to send the message.
“Notify me when there is news.” Fang Hao instructed the maid.
“Yes, Master.” the maid replied.
Upon leaving the hut of the Faceless, he returned to the Lord’s mansion again.
Seeing that, Winnie was waiting on the stone steps at the door.
“Why are you sitting here?” Fang Hao asked.
Winnie, who had already grown accustomed to many things, patted her butt and stood up, “I dare not wander around, this place is dangerous.”
She considered Fang Hao’s place even more dangerous than a deserted forest.
Come in. Fang Hao led her into the Lord’ s mansion.
The Lord’s hall was very spacious and magnificent, and the tall bone throne gave the feeling of a king’s throne.
As Winnie looked around with wide eyes, she was filled with astonishment and surprise.
“Take a seat, don’t just stand there,” said Fang Hao.
Winnie took a seat nearby.
“The tavern in Pruell will be managed by my people. You just prepare and open
a hot pot restaurant in Lyss city,” Fang Hao continued.
Although Little White had good control over the hot pot restaurant, as an orc, his presence in Lyss wouldn’t be as accepted as in Pruell city.
Lyss was not like Pruell City; it was much larger and not close to the main city. Therefore, letting Little White directly open a shop in Lyss might not go smoothly.
Now that Winnie had joined, it was a good opportunity to let her start the shop in Lyss, and consider next steps later on.
“Is the scale of the store big?” Winnie asked curiously.
“It’s bigger than your tavern, and Lyss city’s population is even more massive. You’ll have plenty of room to thrive there.”
“Oh, what about the security on the way….”
“Don’t worry about that. I will arrange for your protection.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
Fang Hao thought for a moment, “You should stay here today. Tomorrow the convoy will depart from here, and you can take your people to Lyss city.” “Oh, okay,” Winnie agreed.
She also didn’t have much to prepare. All she had to do was take her savings with her when they passed by the Pruell city tomorrow.
The rest was left to Fang Hao. After all, the guy was so rich.
“Let’s go. I’ll help you choose a room.”
Fang Hao stepped outside of the Lord’s mansion again and built houses for Winnie and Lorrey.
Once everything was done, and lunch was eaten, a wave of tiredness came crashing in.
He returned to his room and dozed off right away.
When he woke up again, it was already late.
After dinner, Fang Hao, wearing shorts, went directly to the hot spring in the backyard. He comfortably soaked in the spring.
All the fatigue of the day was instantly eliminated; the effect of the Rejuvenation Spring chased away the exhaustion of his body.
Just when he heaved a comfortable sigh, Eira came in carrying a plate of fruit.
She sat down beside him, “Master, ah! Open your mouth.”
Fang Hao opened his mouth, and Eira put a piece of cut fruit into his mouth.
The sweetness of the fruit instantly filled his mouth.
After swallowing one piece, Eira continued to feed Fang Hao the second slice.
Master, would you like to teach Eira how to swim? Anjia isn’t here today.” Eira leaned her body against Fang Hao and spoke seductively into his ear, gently blowing her breath into it.
Fang Hao was aroused.
No one could resist this situation. He sat upright, ready to have a passionate battle with this bunny’s spirit.
Just when he was about to make the next move.
Anjia’s voice came from outside the door.
“Come on, hurry up!”
Before her voice had dropped, the back door was pushed open, and Anjia rushed out, jumped high, and landed in the pool with a splash.
Following Anjia, the four-foot tall Lorrey also rushed in.
Just about to dive into the pool.
Upon seeing Fang Hao sitting there, he immediately became reserved, bowed respectfully, and sat tentatively by the edge of the pool, obedient as a child.
