Chapter 449: Chapter 400, Belief in the Kingdom_2
The rewards in the treasure chest were related to the current situation.
It forced him to reconsider whether there really was a deity sleeping inside Kaur Holy Mountain.
Since there existed a tenth-tier army, naturally the first task was to support the frontline of the battlefield, reducing the dangers and losses in combat to a minimum.
The remaining 50 were left in his territory, responsible for its safety, patrolling, and nightwatch duties.
Once the arrangements were made, Nisbit 51, along with the Nisbits numbered after him, set off promptly according to the designated route toward North Town City.
The team left behind first replaced the guards at the tower pavilion outside the Lord’s Mansion.
The two graveyard guards were replaced by Nisbit 49 and Nisbit 50.
The remaining Nisbits were tasked with patrolling and securing the outskirts of the city.
…
After dealing with the Nisbits’ affairs,
Fang Hao continued to the industrial area to construct the Coin Mint, the second blueprint he had acquired.
Selecting a location, he began the construction immediately.
Thirty minutes later, the Coin Mint was completed.
[Coin Mint]
[Placement: Workers 0/12]
[Materials: Gold, Silver]
[Production: Undead Gold Coins, Undead Silver Coins]
(Description: Through processing, faction-based currencies can be produced.)
Upon seeing the currency types, Fang Hao was taken aback.
The currency of the Immortal Undead was called Skeleton Gold, with a skull on the front and a frozen hourglass as the back design.
It represented that death was not only about pain and solitude, but also about eternal time and immortal souls.
The Immortal Undead’s coinage technique was already very mature.
Within the Trade Alliance’s exchange rate matrix, it had reached a ratio of 2:1.
This was a high exchange rate among gold coins and common currencies, and some species would deliberately trade for gold coins of the Undead Clan.
To go back and recreate the rough Beasthead Gold and Troll Gold from it,
squeezing out their gold content.
Actually, all species were using Warfire Coins as common currency. Therefore, it didn’t matter what faction’s gold coins were being produced.
Even if it was spent among the Human Clan, Skeleton Gold could be exchanged into Warfire Coins.
They could then be used in human cities, only that an extra exchange step was involved.
This had no impact after all.
Moreover, the current gold and silver reserves in the warehouse were not plentiful. Until a gold and silver mine could be excavated, gold coin production wouldn’t be high.
So, the second coin mint didn’t need to be constructed. Production could be taken up slowly.
Twelve skeletal laborers were called to start work at the Coin Mint.
Any gold and silver objects without use in the warehouse were all used to smelt into gold or silver coins.
After settling the Coin Mint affairs, it was also lunchtime.
…
After lunch,
Fang Hao planned to construct the Pantheon and upgrade the Viscera Museum.
Just as he arrived at the city center where the deity statues were placed,
there was suddenly a press from the sky above his head.
He looked up and saw a Bone Dragon soaring past overhead, and a Giant Spider dressed like a maid descended in front of him, hanging from the dragon by a thread of spider silk.
The moment she landed, she turned from a giant spider into a tall woman, nearly two meters tall.
It was Domina, the leader of the Webweaver Camp.
She was dressed in a black-and-white maid’s long dress, with four pairs of long, black, shiny sharp feet sprouting from her back.
Upon seeing Fang Hao, Domina’s cold face revealed a small smile, “Greetings, my Lord.”
Fang Hao was startled by the sudden appearance of Domina.
The Webweaver Camp was not near his area, and even by flying on a Bone Dragon, it would take nearly half a day to get there. Domina wouldn’t come over without a special reason.
“Well, Long time no see, Domina.” Fang Hao responded with a smile.
Domina slightly blushed, collecting herself before continuing, “My Lord, I’ve come to report two issues.”
“Yes, please take a seat, Domina,” Fang Hao signaled her to sit on the bench across from him.
Seated, Domina continued, “My Lord, half a week ago, our mine was attacked by the Blackstone Tribe. Although we repelled them, they may attack us again in the future.”
“Blackstone Tribe?”
“Yes, my lord. Blackstone tribe is a large tribe. For some reason, they have discovered the location of the mine and conflict has occurred,” Domina said.
Blackstone tribe has been showing up frequently in Fang Hao’s head these days.
From the Blackfoot Cat’s mouth, from the Human Clan in the Trade Alliance outpost.
This time, Domina reported that the Blackstone tribe attacked the mine.
Domina’s mines, capable of producing mithril, is the most valuable of all he owns.
It must be flawless.
If the opposition truly starts to affect the mining operations.
Even if it means a long journey, Fang Hao will strike them down, ensuring the normal operation of the mine.
“Alright, what’s the second matter?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
“The second thing, as you instructed, we conducted an exploration of the treasure cave in the east. We found a creature on the mountain that greatly resembles a dragon. It seems to be guarding the mountain cave,” Domina pondered as she spoke.
Last time at the Webweaver encampment.
Fang Hao assisted Domina in eliminating the attacking Gnoll tribe. They found an abundance of treasures and a single-page map among the spoils of war.
They learned about the treasure cave through the Gnoll Clan Leader’s interrogation.
At the time when Demitrija was attacking the Crescent Heights, Fang Hao had Domina arrange to scout it out.
The treasure cave Domina mentioned this time was news of the same.
“A dragon?” Fang Hao frowned.
In this region, besides his Bone Dragon, no other dragon-related creatures have been discovered.
“Yes, my lord, It greatly resembles a Dragon, but its size is much smaller and there are many of them,” Domina continued.
The indigenous people do not have the ability to identify the types of troops.
When encountering unknown creatures, they would compare them to known species.
“How big exactly?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
“Its body is about the size of a brown bear. It also has large wings, the shape isn’t too different from the Dragon Clan.” Domina hasn’t seen the real Dragon Clan, but the Bone Dragon is right there.
They are very similar in skeleton and size, the only difference is their body size.
“Young ones?” Asked Fang Hao.
“The number is close to a hundred, I don’t think they are actual dragons,” Domina said.
Dragons possess immense strength, but few of their kind exist.
Otherwise, the continent would already have been ruled by dragons, leaving no space for the Human and Beast Clans.
“Did you find anything in the cave?”
“My lord, our Giant Spiders are unable to confront these dragon-like creatures. We only explored the surrounding area and drew a detailed map. We did not enter the cave, so we can’t say for certain whether there are enemies or treasures inside,” Domina said with her head lowered.
This was indeed the truth.
Military rank is one factor, sometimes racial traits also determine who has the upper hand in battle.
The Giant Spiders, facing flying units, could hardly have the advantage.
They could even only be passively taking hits.
Fang Hao pondered for a moment and nodded, “Alright, I understand. Rest in the territory tonight. Tomorrow, we will go and inspect that cave together.”
“Yes, my lord.”
…
After discussing with Domina.
Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords and continued constructing the [Pantheon].
[Pantheon: Tough Wood 3200, Delicate Stone Bricks 3000, Cast Iron Chunks 420, Metal Parts 1200, Traces of Prayer 12, traces of God 5, Rich Essence 22.]
Confirm construction.
A light flickered, an elegant and grand temple appeared before his eyes.
The sun shone on the building, reflecting a dazzling brilliance, grey-white marble columns, clean white steps.
On the sides of the corridor, two rows of maid statues were holding musical instruments.
It gave off a feeling of a fantastical realm.
“I wonder if the God of Undead likes this environment.”
