Chapter 822: Chapter 544, Investigating the Undead_2
Aren’t vampires afraid of the cold?
“You could have at least said something before coming, I’m quite grouchy when I wake up,” Rolana’s cool voice resounded.
She walked in from the corridor, her hands caressing her hips as she took a seat on a stone chair to the side.
Grumpy after waking up?
More like grumpy after rising from a coffin, since you don’t sleep in a bed.
Watching Rolana take a seat, Fang Hao also spoke softly, “Rolana, this is Amanda, a new hero who has joined our territory.”
Amanda said, “Rolana, long time no see.”
Rolana’s somewhat drowsy eyes instantly widened. After staring for a while, she exclaimed in surprise, “Amanda, is that really you?”
“Yes, it is,” Amanda replied.
Looking at the two of them, Fang Hao recalled that Amanda had already shown familiarity with Rolana back in the underground palace.
After all, they had both lived for several hundred years.
Now, judging by their tone, they used to be on good terms.
They might even have been close friends.
As for a romantic relationship, that should be impossible—back then, Rolana still fancied men.
“Amanda, it’s really good to see you,” Rolana said sincerely.
“Yes, Lord Fang Hao rescued me. I am now a hero of the territory,” Amanda added.
“You were also rescued by him?” Rolana remarked subconsciously.
“Hm?” An undead, typically void of emotions, expressed a note of confusion.
Seeing that the two of them seemed eager to continue their conversation, Fang Hao couldn’t help but interrupt.
“Amanda, let’s discuss the official business first,” he said.
Amanda nodded and cleared the way.
Fang Hao spoke softly, “Rolana, how much do you know about the Great Cemetery of Odys?”
“Great Cemetery of Odys? I seldom stay in Blood Castle and don’t know much about that place,” Rolana said as she crossed her legs leisurely.
Before she went into a deep sleep, the Great Cemetery of Odys was still known as the Anglina Kingdom, which had been dismembered by the Red Duke, leaving her to sleep for a hundred years.
After waking up, she hadn’t paid attention to these affairs.
Instead, she went to Lyss City and spent all her time glued to Rebecca.
Guessing she would know who Odys is would probably be giving her too much credit.
Fang Hao continued, “We’ve received information that Odys is amassing a large force. We suspect he might be preparing to wage war on the neighboring powers.”
“War? Crescent Heights?”
“It’s unclear. It’s possible, but unlikely. Crescent Heights is not large; conquering this place wouldn’t require so much effort.”
Rolana glared at him, somewhat dissatisfied with his remark about Crescent Heights’ size.
“What do you want to do?” she asked.
Fang Hao went on, “After winter, we plan to use Crescent Heights as a base to wage war against the Great Cemetery of Odys and help Amanda rebuild Anglina.”
Surprise flickered in Rolana’s expression.
She was aware of Amanda’s attachment to the Anglina Kingdom but hadn’t expected her determination to remain so strong.
And she certainly didn’t expect Fang Hao to be swayed into launching a war, inciting a conflict between powers.
After pondering for a moment and considering the impact on herself, she eventually nodded in agreement, “I have no problem with that on my end.”
Fang Hao nodded, “Then Amanda, Rolana, starting now, you will be responsible for gathering intelligence on the Great Cemetery of Odys. Collect as much relevant information as possible. I will also gather some on my own through my channels.”
“Thank you, my lord,” Amanda replied, accepting the task.
Rolana had no objections and even seemed quite happy to hear Amanda would be staying. Having more ‘people’ in this desolate ancient castle might actually be a good thing.
After giving them both another set of instructions,
Fang Hao then reactivated the demon teleportation and returned to his main city.
Reconnaissance and map collection were now in their hands.
After all, that place also had a force of a million soldiers.
…
Back in his main city.
Fang Hao lay on the bed and opened the Book of Lords.
After some thought, he composed a message in the territory channel and sent it out.
“Who has information on the ‘Great Cemetery of Odys,’ or knows a transmigrator from there, contact me.”
As soon as the message was sent, the previously quiet channel erupted with responses.
“The Great Cemetery? Doesn’t sound like a place of the living, does it?”
“Boss, are you planning a tomb raid? The grave robber corps reports for duty.”
“If it’s a tomb raid, can I tag along?”
“Count me in too, I’ll light the candles.”
Messages popped up one after another, none of them helpful.
It was normal since the transmigrators in this place had joined gradually from the surroundings of the territory.
Not being familiar with the Great Cemetery of Odys was expected.
If Fang Hao wasn’t himself part of the undead faction, he probably wouldn’t have heard of Odys, much less known what the Great Cemetery of Odys was.
As he watched the messages keep popping up,
Fang Hao typed another one, “Useful information will be rewarded…”
Before he could send it, a private message notification appeared.
It was ‘Xu Yang,’ who had previously acted as a middleman for him in trade with the Trolls.
Lately, Fang Hao had sent him to serve as a lord in Yu Tianpeng’s territory.
In the channel, Xu Yang seldom spoke and rarely contacted Fang Hao directly.
Opening the private chat,
“Boss, that ‘Great Cemetery of Odys’ you mentioned, is it ruled by the undead?” Xu Yang inquired.
Fang Hao’s brow furrowed; he knew about it?
His original territory was near the Trolls, so how did he even come by this information?
Fang Hao replied, “Yes, it’s an undead realm. Do you have some news?”
Xu Yang responded, “Boss, I know someone who brought up this subject once. He said he was ruled by the undead. If you need information, you could ask him.”
Well,…
A wave of excitement surged through Fang Hao, and he was about to agree.
