Production quantity 1.
[Hundred-fold Amplification triggered, Acquired Fine Iron Crescent Blades x101.]
The crescent blades appeared, without needing Fang Hao’s command.
The Bound Spirit Guardians all once again picked up the crescent blades, hanging them on their waists.
“Alright, you all go find Commander Demitrija, he will assign you relevant tasks. Also, I will build living quarters for you all. You can rest there when you have no tasks,” Fang Hao said.
“Thank you, Lord,” all the Bound Spirit Guardians said as they saluted.
At the same time, the loyalty of all Bound Spirit Guardians increased by 5 to 8 points.
This was same as the previously recruited skeleton tailors and goldsmiths.

After obtaining a soul, they became more akin to living creature soldiers.
Having loyalty means you need to consider more things comprehensively.
If one cannot maintain high loyalty, they’d be less useful than regular undead warriors who have no wisdom.
But it’s all about how you view the matter.
It’s also crucial to not let loyalty drop too low, otherwise, it may result in defections, shirking of duties, or even backstabbing.
The Bound Spirit Guardians all left together, and Fang Hao also went to the undead living quarters.
There, a building group composed of tailors and blacksmiths had been constructed.
He selected a vacant plot of land, built a few rows of residential buildings, and directly upgraded them to level 9.
…
By the time he returned to the lord’s mansion.
Eira had already prepared dinner.
The feast was grand, covering the entire long table.
The number of people dining together that evening was also quite a lot.
It was sort of a welcome dinner after his return.
In addition to Fang Hao, Eira, and Anjia, there were Demitrija, Aseti, Lorrey, and the newly joined young mom, He Yueyi.
He Yueyi was saved by Fang Hao from the hands of the Life-taker bandits.
At that time, she was hanging on by a thread, almost dying in the dungeon.
Once awake, she decided to leave with Fang Hao, offering her services as a senior accountant.
Initially, He Yueyi regretted her decision when she arrived.
Skeletons were lurking everywhere in and out of the territory.
She was astounded to see skeletons holding wash basins while rabbit maidens hung clothes to dry.
She had nightmares for several days, but as time passed, she gradually accepted the situation.
Moreover, her infant daughter seemed to have more guts than her. The sight of skeletons patrolling just made her giggle. When He Yueyi tried to hide, her daughter would cry and would only stop when skeletons were in sight.
Gradually, her fears subsided.
Usually, she would command the skeletons to do chores like fetching water or disposing of garbage.
Gradually she became like the rabbit maids, with a skeleton following her around.
After dinner was over.
Fang Hao called all the heroes together for a brief meeting.
During his absence, while the heroes like Meatfist were assisting Jia Yue, the lord of the city stayed in Black Thorn.
Black Thorn’s ranking was not very high, but his attributes were beneficial for defending cities.
Under the close vigilance of the undead, Black Thorn was quite capable.
As the skeleton heroes also came.
Fang Hao immediately began the meeting for the day.
“The defense of the main city will be Commander Demitrija’s responsibility, with Black Thorn assisting. Increase the number of patrol teams around, especially don’t neglect air surveillance.”
This was to guard against the probing of Silver Wing City.
According to Tavek’s report, the council had started paying attention to this area, and they’d likely send people to scout.
Hiding without being noticed was virtually impossible. But making it hard for the enemy to obtain core intelligence was quite difficult.
Having millions of troops stationed here, letting them in would be an extreme embarrassment.
“Yes, sir, I would also like to have an increase in the number of Bound Spirit Guardians, to better defend the city,” Demitrija said.
“Okay, tell me the number later, and I will recruit accordingly.”
“Yes, milord.”
Fang Hao’s gaze then landed on Aseti and Anjia, and he continued, “Aseti, Anjia, I want you to find some time to train the maids in the territory. Teach them riding and combat skills to improve their physical fitness.”
“Roger, milord.”
“Alright, I can teach them some secret techniques that I’ve researched recently,” Anjia seemed quite willing.
With the Black Stone training ground, they could increase the training experience of the orcs by 10%.
Now that they were back, it was a good time for Aseti and Anjia to teach the rabbit maidens.
They were so soft and frail that they didn’t have the ability to resist when they encountered danger.
After giving the heroes their tasks.
Finally, his gaze landed on He Yueyi.
After being taken care of for a while, He Yueyi’s condition significantly improved. Her skin was fair and clean, and her hair wasn’t as lifeless as before.
Dressed in linen clothes, holding her child in her arms.
“He Yueyi, how many people are learning accounting from you currently?” Fang Hao asked.
He Yueyi didn’t expect to be asked suddenly. “Five, three rabbit girls, and two fox girls.”
“How’s their progress?”
“Ah… they have to start from basic arithmetic, and they are still learning!” He Yueyi hesitated, but eventually answered.
This reminded Fang Hao.
The majority couldn’t even write, let alone do the accounts or remember them.
He had planned to quickly train a batch of accountants to verify the taxes sent from each city every year.
The gold coins sent from each city are really hard to verify now.
The orcs and trolls, in particular, sent money without any account books.
