Chapter 572: Chapter 449, Bat Knight_2
With a thud, he fell to the ground.
The Demon Doll landed on the ground, allowing the soldiers to throw the scattered corpses into the conversion field.
He took the relatively intact body and flew back.
He landed in front of everyone, tossing the corpse on the ground.
Demitrija squatted down to check, “My lord, he’s dead.”
He was too late after all.
Fang Hao thought for a moment and said, “Yanshou, you ride the Bone Dragon to the North Town City, replace Black Thorn there. You will be in charge of North Town City from now on.”
“Understood, my lord.” Yanshou mounted the Bone Dragon and flew towards the Bloody Mountain Range.
The commanding officer should have been replaced long ago.
Yanshou himself is a troll hero and familiar with the Bloody Mountain Range.
As for Black Thorn, although he is also an infantry hero, his skills lean more toward defense and interrogation.
This opportunity is perfect to swap positions between Black Thorn and Yanshou.
Yanshou will take charge of North Town City, while Black Thorn will handle the main city.
…
An hour later.
The heavy rain persisted as Black Thorn, mounted on the Bone Dragon, descended from the sky.
The downward airflow stirred up a wave of water.
He shook off the rainwater at the door and entered the hall, “My lord.”
In the hall, Fang Hao was discussing the siege of the Webweaver camp by the Blackstone Tribe with several heroes.
Seeing Black Thorn’s return, Fang Hao instantly said, “Good, Black Thorn, allow me to introduce you to Aseti, Domina, and Meatfist, all heroes of our territory.”
Black Thorn nodded in acknowledgment to the three.
Seeing that everyone had been introduced, Fang Hao continued, “Let’s go, let’s examine the corpse.”
Everyone put on rain cloaks and headed in the direction of the dungeon.
The Blood Prison was empty, in the nearest cell, the corpse of an orc was laid on the ground.
The cold body lay there, its wounds turned white from contact with the water on the ground.
“Black Thorn, examine the body.” Fang Hao commanded.
“Yes, my lord.”
Black Thorn started to draw magical runes beneath the corpse.
Once the runes were complete, three unicorns were led over.
Their throats were slit to let out blood, and when the fresh blood converged onto the corpse through the runes—
The already cold orc suddenly sat up.
His eyes widened in fear, staring at the people in front of him.
“My lord, we can begin.” Black Thorn reminded in a soft voice.
Fang Hao nodded and directly asked the corpse, “How did you guys get here?”
The orc pointed at Domina, “We followed her here.”
“You knew she was coming?”
“The Great Commander guessed that she would take advantage of the heavy rain to make a move, we were prepared well in advance.”
It seems like the Blackstone Tribe had already guessed that Domina would use this heavy rain as a cover to send out a message.
They had people tailing her.
“How many people were tracking, did anyone escape back?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
“No, only five of us came here, none of us returned.”
It seems that the five knight riders that came here all died in the ambush by the Skeleton Giant Bat, and this orc here was the last to die.
“Tell me everything about the Blackstone Tribe’s plans, how many people you have, and your relationship with the Dragon Clan!” Fang Hao hurriedly pressed as he watched the orc’s body start to swell up.
The orc answered, “We were ordered to surround the area. They’ll probably start a fire after the heavy rain to burn the forest before they attack. There are thirty-thousand people in the Blackstone Tribe. The Dragon Clan needs…”
Bang!
At that, the orc’s body exploded like a balloon.
Blood and flesh splashed everywhere.
The less physically intact the corpse, the shorter the time it stayed animated it seemed.
But Fang Hao had already obtained the information he needed.
A tribe of three-thousand posed no threat to him.
“My lord, I…I apologize…” Domina muttered an apology with a lowered head.
Worried about the safety of her people, she had rushed to Fang Hao’s side without realizing she was being followed by the orcs.
As a hero, this kind of mistake was unacceptable.
If Fang Hao hadn’t deployed strong forces here and the news had been passed back to the Blackstone Tribe, it would have given their enemies access to more of their own side’s information.
“Alright, we’ll talk about this later. Let’s return and discuss the follow-up matters.” Fang Hao said.
They left the Skeletons to clean up the scene and the group returned to the lord’s hall.
On their way back, Fang Hao had Anjia summon Nelson to discuss matters regarding the Blackstone Tribe.
…
In the hall.
Fang Hao sat on the White Bone throne.
Below him sat a group of heroes and the elderly clan leader of the Blackfoot Cat Clan.
The Blackfoot Cat Tribe, being a weak clan, chose to relocate to Fang Hao’s territory to avoid the Blackstone Tribe’s long-term oppression.
From everyone present, the Blackfoot Cat Tribe held the most knowledge about the Blackstone Tribe.
To kick things off, Fang Hao briefed everyone again about the situation involving the Blackstone Tribe and the Webweaver camp.
This also included the fact, that the Webweaver camp was currently mining Mithril mines.
Whether it was for the safety of the people of Domina or for the normal operation of the mine, they could not afford to lose the Webweaver camp.
After Fang Hao finished.
A brief silence hung over the room unit the first to break it was the clan leader of the Blackfoot Cat Tribe.
He said straightforwardly: “My lord, respected heroes, the Blackfoot Cats have had some dealings with the Blackstone Tribe, I would like to supplement the information that we currently know about the Blackstone Tribe.”
“Yes, go ahead, there’s no need to stand, you can speak while sitting.” Fang Hao said.
