Chapter 904: Chapter 577, Start Adjusting Troops_2
“It’s not expensive, 220 Warfire Coins each. Such consumables are generally not too pricey,” Kukettor said.
The Energy Core could be likened to a battery.
Being consumables sold in bulk determined their price wouldn’t be outrageous.
However, 220 wasn’t exactly low either; the price had reached that of blue equipment.
For someone like Fang Hao who sold equipment in large batches, 220 was still acceptable.
But from the perspective of the natives who had to hand-forge their equipment, 220 was definitely not considered cheap.
...
“How many can I buy at once?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
Kukettor replied, “I need to report it and wait for the Trade Alliance’s approval, especially since your issue with the Dragon Clan hasn’t been resolved yet… How about this, I can spare 10 for you to buy first.”
“Okay, then I’ll have Doujin come over and purchase them from you shortly.”
“Certainly!”
After discussing business, the two of them chatted about Fang Hao’s commercial plans.
When the sky began to darken, Fang Hao gifted two opulent gold-inlaid vases, and Kukettor left in high spirits.
Doujin also followed to purchase the ‘Energy Cores’.
…
Late at night.
Silver Wing City.
The leader of the Hall of Justice, ‘Dordy’, tiptoed back to his bedroom.
At this hour, he didn’t want to risk disturbing his wife’s sweet dreams and face her complaints.
However, as he approached the bedside,
he saw ‘Olivia’ sitting there, her gaze fixed on the approaching Dordy.
Her sheer dress partly concealed her proud, voluptuous figure.
Partially hidden yet undeniable, her allure was unobstructed by the faint evening light.
“You remembered to come back, huh? If I hadn’t known you were with the Archbishop, I’d have led a team to catch you in the act,” Olivia said with some displeasure.
Clearly, she harbored some grievances towards her husband, who had been rarely home these past few days.
Dordy gave an awkward smile and immediately stepped forward to embrace his wife, “The border conflict has been intense lately, and I’ve been quite overwhelmed.”
He and his wife were closely affectionate, and since ‘Olivia’ also came from a prominent family,
even if he was reluctant to talk, he would still explain things to her.
“The battle keeps you from coming home?” Olivia still pressed.
“No, not at all,” Dordy replied, hugging her closer, “Why are you still awake at this late hour?”
“How can I sleep with the bed this cold?” Olivia coldly retorted.
Dordy immediately understood the implication.
Without another word, he disrobed and pressed his wife onto the bed, starting to ‘make up his assignments.'”
Olivia blocked his neck with her arms, her body swaying. Between breaths, she softly asked, “What’s happening at the front? You really shouldn’t risk it there.”
Despite knowing her husband was a leader, she was unwilling to have him at the front lines.
“Ah! New intelligence has come in. The Undead still have moves to make, and now Silver Wing City isn’t safe either,” Dordy answered.
“What happened? Isn’t it just at the border? How is Silver Wing City now in danger?”
Dordy continued, “Intelligence suggests that Odys plans to take a detour from the Blood Clan territory and attack from the north. If we can’t redeploy forces in time, Silver Wing City might be at risk.”
“How is that possible?”
“The intelligence isn’t clear. Don’t mention it outside, and have your family avoid leaving the city for a while in case there is real danger,” Dordy advised.
“Oh, okay!”
The couple fell silent, their earlier passion replaced by worry.
They continued mechanically with the movements they hadn’t finished.
After a while in silence, Olivia spoke again, “Isn’t ‘Rebecca’ in great danger then?”
“Don’t worry about that. I’ve already notified ‘Lyss City’ to strengthen its defense and am sending troops to support Pruell City,” Dordy continued.
Just as Olivia was about to speak,
a faint knocking sound came from outside the door.
“Lord, someone from the church has arrived, please come over,” the voice outside said.
This…
The sudden interruption froze their expressions.
Regrettably, ‘Dordy’ could only offer an apologetic smile, quelch his ‘spear,’ and start hastily dressing.
After quietly consoling his wife a few times, he left directly.
Leaving the unstudied beauty on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
After some thought, she ultimately sat up,
retrieved the Sound-transmitting Shell from a nearby cabinet, placed it to her mouth, and spoke, “Rebecca, there’s danger on your side. Bring your young husband over here.”
Hall of Councils.
Archbishop-Milton had already been anxiously waiting.
Seeing Dordy approaching, he hurriedly said, “Xu Haide has new information again. The Undead have already started negotiating with the Blood Clan. It’s likely that their cooperation cannot be stopped.”
“How could this happen…”
…
The next day.
Inside the main city, a good number of transmigrators had already gathered.
They were city lords affiliated with Zhang Bin, Dong Jiayue, and others, all members within their territories.
When these people arrived here,
each one of them was almost jaw-droppingly surprised.
“Boss’s territory has so many Undead, huh? This place is gathering yin energy, the evil aura is heavy.”
“What heavy? Becoming an Undead and living forever isn’t so bad either.”
“Not just Undead, you guys weren’t here yesterday. An orange Lizardmen hero trained us, and his armor was so impressive.”
“I also saw an orange Undead hero holding a scepter, quite scary.”
“Boss’s strength is unfathomably deep.”
Inside the lord’s mansion.
Fang Hao sat at the head, with a few heroes, and Dong Jiayue sitting below.
Originally, Dong Jiayue was not planned to be involved, and the idea was just to bring in some scattered transmigrators to cooperate in the battle.
But Dong Jiayue took the initiative to come, and she also had the experience of previously attacking Gray Iron City.
She is more familiar with commanding transmigrators.
Fang Hao thought about it and agreed, thinking since she had nothing much on her side, it was good for her to join in.
Seeing that everyone below was ready,
Fang Hao began to explain the reason for calling everyone here this time.
The ambition of Odys, as well as the high bone tax on humans.
Plus the previous identity and wishes of ‘Amanda.’
He explained it all very clearly.
“So, this time as Odys goes to war with the Human Federation, we will advance from north to south, directly entering the border of the ‘Great Cemetery of Odys’ and start advancing towards the center. Detailed maps and plans have been prepared by Amanda. After we get there, everyone must cooperate with Amanda’s arrangements to complete this battle.”
“Yes, sir!” everyone responded solemnly.
Fang Hao nodded and continued, “Nelson, Aseti, Meatfist, Spencer, and Dong Jiayue, the rest of you will head to Crescent Heights together later.”
“Yes.”
Fang Hao nodded and continued, “Frederick, Dimitrija, and Anjia, the three of you will stay behind in the main city.”
“Yes, sir,” the three of them responded.
Frederick is a Dwarf Skeleton, an orange hero.
He was the Dwarf general in charge of defense at Gray Iron City at the time.
His defense, coupled with Gray Iron City’s “Gray Iron Bastion,” indeed held off the Undead’s army of millions.
If it weren’t for the backend Dwarf nobles who weren’t effective and fled at the first sign of trouble,
breaking through the city walls would have taken some effort.
After dying in battle, Frederick was turned into a Skeleton hero, specializing in positional Defense.
With the large-scale troop movements this time, Fang Hao transferred him over to defend the main city.
After all, sometimes Fang Hao had places to go, and Dimitrija and Anjia needed to accompany him, so the main city could not be left without a hero.
After all, there was still the potential threat of the Dragon Clan.
After giving his orders, with nothing left to add from the others,
he directly said, “Alright, that’s the basic situation, let’s prepare to depart.”
“Yes.”
All rose to their feet and walked outside.
Outside the city gates, as a group of heroes walked out, they still caused a sensation among the transmigrators.
The number of orange heroes surpassed what they had seen during their conversations.
Their splendor was almost blinding.
…
Yet, this was only the beginning.
From a distance, they saw Bone Dragons flying in like dark clouds covering the sun and airships in the sky.
All of this made the transmigrators widen their eyes in disbelief at the spectacle before them.
“Damn… Bone Dragons? What’s going on, nobody in the channel said the boss had these things.”
“Incredible, what’s up with this hot air balloon airship? This strong punk vibe, are we in a game or what?”
“Dragons, now airships, this is simply unbelievable.”
“Damn it, I just bought an ostrich steed a few days ago, and now there are so many dragons here with the boss, it’s maddening.”
