Chapter 752: Chapter 516, Buying Slaves_2
The number of members in the territory channel now far exceeded that of the past.
Many more transmigrators joined the territory through connections they had made with others.
The numbers have soared drastically.
The ones that Fang Hao had specifically mentioned were all personally recruited by him. They each played different roles in the development of the territory.
Upon hearing Fang Hao’s offer, the territory chat room which had been quiet before erupted instantly with activity.
Zhang Bin said, “Thank you, boss! You are mighty!”
Fu Lei said, “Thanks, boss! You are mighty!”
Lan Yang chimed in, “Thanks, boss! You’re mighty! …By the way, what exactly is a glass panel? Is it the glass on the window?”
Zhang Bin replied, “Yes, if you have a glass panel, you can directly put it in when making windows. If you don’t, you’ll only have a wooden frame, and the middle would be empty.”

Lan Yang exclaimed, “Wow! That’s great! It’s so cold these days, I was thinking about using beast skins to cover the windows, but now I don’t need to do that anymore.”
Qiu Yu exclaimed, “I am so jealous! I want to buy glass panels to make windows.”
Zhu Yi followed, “I want to buy some too, Boss Fang Hao, where can I get it?”
In truth, the price that Fang Hao set at 2 Warfire coins is basically a giveaway.
Anyone who managed to survive thus far would have enough from opening a single chest to fill the entire Lord’s Mansion with windows.
This was why he made an announcement that these items couldn’t be resold on the territory channel.
Otherwise, there would definitely be people who would exploit this by buying at a low price from him and selling it on the territory channel at a higher price.
This simple business idea was something a lot of people could come up with.
Fang Hao responded, “Anyone who wants to buy can message me, but the quantity is limited. Each person can’t buy more than 8 pieces for now. Once we increase our production in future, I’ll gradually supply more to everyone.”
Zhu Yi said, “Ok, Boss Fang Hao, I want 8.”
“I also want eight…”
One after another, private messages came flooding in. After Fang Hao confirmed, he put up their designated glass panels for sale one by one.
Everyone else swiftly accepted them and started installing them in their own houses.
Eight pieces of glass panel wouldn’t solve everyone’s problems in their territory.
To let their troops and residents all have windows, the consumption would be tremendous.
With the current production speed, this was highly unlikely.
So, they can only seal their windows with beast skin and gradually increase the number next year.
…
Elsewhere…
Inside a tent made of stitched together beast skin on Eight Peaks Mountain.
Dong Jiayue removed her helmet, shaking her sweat-drenched hair.
Today, they had conquered the last two of the twelve fortresses on Eight Peaks Mountain.
The dwarfs put up even more stubborn resistance.
The cannons on both sides spewed flames, as the smoke, which seemed to be dyed with gunpowder, covered the battlefield. The ground was constantly trembling.
This moment felt as if they had transitioned from the cold-weapon era to the firearm era.
Individuals seemed weak and powerless.
Outside the tent, a group of hero commanders also entered it.
Dong Jiayue spread the map out on the wooden table.
In a low voice, she said, “Tonight…we siege…”
Her fingers gently pointed to the positions of the two fortresses on the map.
Bellerga, the dwarf, frowned, his thick beard swinging as he anxiously asked, “So soon? Our troops just fought with them the whole day today, are we going to siege the city tonight too?”
Dong Jiayue stated firmly, “Yes, our troops are undead and they neither tire nor fear death. The ones who fear exhaustion are them. We will attack tonight, and we won’t let them have a chance to eat.”
The other heroes didn’t comment.
They were undead heroes, and naturally, they didn’t care when to wage a siege.
They just needed to ensure their own safety.
Right now, the firepower of the dwarves’ machines was growing increasingly fierce. Undead Red Dragon Hero Spencer felt this most acutely when leading the Bone Dragons in aerial attacks.
The projectiles shot from the ground were as dense as raindrops.
To launch a breath attack on the ground, they had to endure the rain of arrows as they swooped down.
When they returned, both Spencer and the Bone Dragons were heavily injured.
So, Dong Jiayue promptly changed her strategy from blitzing to a war of attrition.
Since her side didn’t need rest, they could continuously attack, day by day, believing that their adversaries also needed rest.
Bellerga stroked his beard but didn’t say anything further.
Meatfist then asked, “Are we going to attack both fortresses at once, or just one?”
Dong Jiayue said directly, “Meatfist, you will lead a million troops to attack this fortress. Black Sword will distract the other fortress. Spencer will lead the Bone Dragons to harass and attack when the time is right. Bellerga, you will lead the dwarves to repair all the machines to ensure they work properly.”
“Good!”
“Got it!”
All the heroes nodded, and once again left the tent.
Less than half an hour later, the undead army launched another attack, with the sound of cannon fire everywhere and the ground trembling with each blast.
…
Dong Jiayue was sitting inside the tent.
She ate the meat pies and grilled fish that had been exchanged over the channel.
The plates and cups on the table trembled with each boom of the cannons.
At this moment, the tent flap was pulled open.
Her subordinate, City Lord Yang Xiaolan peeked in.
Upon seeing Dong Jiayue in the tent, she entered with a smile.
“Sister Jiayue, have you checked the territory channel?” Yang Xiaolan sat down next to her.
“Nope, what happened? Did Lan Yang put on another stellar performance?” Dong Jiayue kept eating while talking.
“No, it’s Brother Hao. He’s selling glass panels in the channel. There’s one for you too, and everyone gets four each. If others want to buy, it’s two Warfire Coins each.” Yang Xiaolan explained.
“Really?!”
Dong Jiayue immediately opened the Book of Lords to check.
Indeed, she saw Fang Hao’s message in the channel, and he had sent her four panels which she could trade anytime.
At this time, the weather was getting colder, and these glass panels were beneficial.
“Did you guys buy any?” Dong Jiayue looked at Yang Xiaolan.
Yang Xiaolan shook her head, “Not yet. Even if we buy them now, we can’t carry them around. And everybody else is busy making equipment for the soldiers, they don’t even know about it.”
She paused before continuing: “I’m afraid they’ll be bought by others later. Sister Jiayue, since you’re close to Brother Hao, ask him to save some for us. We’ll buy them when we get back.”
Dong Jiayue thought about it and agreed.
Yang Xiaolan and the others were her transmigrators, and she needed to secure good items for her own people.
She didn’t want others, like Zhang Bin’s people, buying them all leaving her own people to freeze in the winter.
“Alright, I’ll talk to Brother Hao. After all, we are all making efforts for the development of the territory. It wouldn’t be fair if he didn’t give us any.” Dong Jiayue bit into her pie with even more gusto.
“Exactly!”
Dong Jiayue immediately opened the Book of Lords to contact Fang Hao.
First, she reported on the situation at Eight Peaks Mountain, then requested ammunition and a large amount of fuse.
Lastly, she brought up the issue of the glass panels.
Fang Hao naturally left some for them. There was plenty in the warehouse, so there was no issue about saving any.
Yang Xiaolan, who was waiting by the side, saw Dong Jiayue close the Book of Lords.
She quickly asked, “What did Brother Hao say?”
Dong Jiayue confidently replied, “It’s settled. Not only did he preserve some for us, but he also allowed each of us to receive two extra glass panels.”
“Yay, Sister Jiayue, you are so influential!”
“Of course!”
…
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
After breakfast, Fang Hao brought Aseti and Anjia through the portal directly to Tasgo Orc City.
He had a chat with Bronze Bull about recent events.
When Bronze Bull found out that Fang Hao was planning to cultivate personnel who could handle accounting, he insisted on including some young Taurens.
Fang Hao was slightly stunned.
Whether male or female, all members of the Tauren Clan were powerfully built with shimmering red muscles from head to toe.
Also, they seemed better suited to developments in strength rather than learning!
However, with Bronze Bull being so proactive, Fang Hao wasn’t to refuse and thought having two Tauren partake in learning wouldn’t be a big deal.
“Alright, select two smart ones to come and study with me, and we’ll see how it goes.” Fang Hao nodded in agreement.
“Very well, our clan’s children have been very bright in recent years, they are not much inferior to your human traders.” Bronze Bull slapped the chair and exclaimed excitedly.
Just then,
A Tauren guard quickly approached from outside the door.
After glancing at the excited Clan Leader, he reported, “Lord, Clan Leader, the Sawtooth Slave Trader Group is here.”
Bronze Bull’s gaze immediately shifted to Fang Hao. He knew that Fang Hao was here today because of the slave traders.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed slaver traders to cross the Tasgo boundary.
“Find them a secluded place.” Fang Hao ordered.
Bronze Bull thought for a moment, then said, “Don’t let them into the city. Send them to the temporary camp on the west side of the city, bring more people, and don’t let them cause trouble.”
“Yes, Clan Leader.” The Tauren guard nodded and backed away.
Fang Hao and Bronze Bull also stood up.
And proceeded to walk out the door.
