Chapter 484: Chapter 416, Ironbeard-Bellerga (Seeking subscriptions, seeking recommendations.)_1
“Poisonous?” Fang Hao looked curiously at the trio.
They were not high-ranking, nor wore masks.
It didn’t seem as if there were poisons inside.
Perceiving Fang Hao’s confusion, a dwarf explained, “Normally, you wouldn’t get poisoned, but any wounds could result in infection. Within a short time, the injured would turn into undead creatures, attacking their own peers.”
Fang Hao’s gaze fell on the iron gauntlets they wore on their hands.
It seemed these gauntlets were to prevent cutting their fingers while collecting various spoils of war.
“Is the Detox Potion effective?” Fang Hao asked.
“No, but Holy Light is,” another dwarf answered.
“Holy Light?”
Holy Light is the church’s term for all light spells.
Mentioning Holy Light, the red-bearded dwarf gave his companion a glare.
As if blaming him for his indiscretion, he shouldn’t have mentioned Holy Light before the Undead Army.
However, once the words were out, they couldn’t be taken back, the red-bearded dwarf quickly explained, “Yes, our leader once had a vial of Holy Light potion; it did have some effect on the injured. But it only provided temporary relief. You still need to leave the red soil area immediately, or you’ll still get infected.”
Light spells do have some suppressing effect on dark energy forms.
It made sense that it had some effect.
Fang Hao continued, “What kind of enemy creatures are in there? How far have you all ventured?”
“Yes, there are many infected Living Dead inside. We are not strong enough—we have only been around the periphery to pick up some items,” the red-bearded dwarf replied.
Fang Hao nodded. He had asked everything he wanted to know.
After a pause, he said to the others: “Jia Yue, Heavy Arrow!”
“Brother Hao….”
“Lord.”
The two responded simultaneously.
“You two take some troops to escort these three back. This place is new to you, Jia Yue. You should meet the dwarf leader as a form of greeting,” Fang Hao quietly ordered.
“Ok.” They both agreed.
The three dwarfs turned pale when they heard this.
“Lord, no need. It’s not far, we usually go by ourselves. There’s no need for an escort,” the dwarfs hurriedly said.
But Fang Hao didn’t answer them, Heavy Arrow signaled, and several Skeleton Warriors immediately lifted the three dwarfs and started walking to the side.
Dong Jiayue moved closer and asked in a low voice, “Brother Hao, why are we going to see their leader?”
“To see if their leader is a hero, and if so, what his expertise is. They don’t even have a place to live; we could attempt to recruit them,” Fang Hao shared his thoughts.
These dwarfs were obviously in a bind.
It was a good time to recruit.
“Oh, I see. As expected, Brother Hao, you have thought it through.”
“Be a bit arrogant when you go, you represent our territory. We’re not afraid if it comes down to a fight,” Fang Hao added.
Dwarfs are known for their explosive temperaments.
But it depends on who the other party is.
Just like earlier, if you’re strong, dwarfs, being human, are also afraid of death.
But if they perceive you as weak, naturally, they will not show a friendly attitude.
“Understood,” Dong Jiayue replied.
Fang Hao nodded, “Be back before dark.”
“Ok.”
Dong Jiayue agreed, bringing her people into Heavy Arrow’s troops.
Tens of thousands of undead soldiers started moving towards the dwarf camp.
…
Having dealt with the dwarfs, Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords.
In the building page, he found the Fort building.
He chose a location and started building immediately.
Soon, a level one fort appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Fang Hao upgraded the fort to level five and built large amounts of residential buildings and warehouses inside.
This provided accommodation for the accompanying Orcs and humans. The warehouses were used to store supplies.
He then made a vast number of single beds and living supplies.
Taking advantage of the hundredfold increase, Fang Hao didn’t mind the bit of resource waste.
With the buildings and items prepared.
The soldiers began patrolling the buildings.
This place would serve as their base for attacking the Desolate Battlefield.
Once everything was settled.
Fang Hao gave Black Sword some simple instructions, handing over the whole place to Black Sword.
He then performed a Demon Teleportation, taking Anjia and Demitrija directly back to his main city.
They appeared outside the lord’s mansion.
Without waiting for Fang Hao’s command, Anjia was the first to shout, “Eira, I’m so hungry.”
Eira came out of the room with a smile, “Good, we have a feast tonight.”
…
On the other side.
Dong Jiayue and Heavy Arrow, with an army of fifty thousand, had arrived at the dwarf camp.
The doors of the camp were tightly shut, with dwarfs holding fire guns on the walls, pointing their muzzles at the army beneath.
Dong Jiayue and Heavy Arrow were guarded in the middle.
“We just want to talk to your leader. If he is unwilling to talk, it might be easier to level this place,” Dong Jiayue told the three dwarfs.
“Lords, please give us some time. I will bring the message to our leader. We will not start a war,” the dwarf quickly answered.
They were aware that the fifty thousand army before them was only a small part of the Undead Army.
Let alone over a thousand of them in this camp.
Even if it was the dwarfs’ dwelling, the ‘Eight Peaks Mountain’, it wouldn’t be able to withstand an army this large.
