Chapter 16, Orc Plan (Looking for recommendations, collected.)_1

There is a slight difference between Spiritual Fields and regular farmland.

Under normal understanding, a Spiritual Field has better soil quality, so crops grow better and mature faster.

It's been the fourth day since coming to this world.

Although there's no worry about food and drink, having barbecued meat without seasoning for every meal is indeed a bit monotonous.

The presence of a Spiritual Field could perhaps allow for the cultivation of crops, which could change the monotony of his diet.

"You guys, switch out your shields," Fang Hao ordered.

The skeleton soldiers who were called upon discarded their broken shields and picked up the equipment of their fallen comrades.

In the recent battle, despite the Undead having an overwhelming numerical advantage, they still lost eight skeleton soldiers.

They were replaced by those with the best shields among the eight.

After getting equipped, the team continued on their journey, further exploring the map.

...

Inside the Gnoll camp.

The once razed encampment was welcoming a new batch of troops.

They stood around two meters tall, their gaping mouths and fierce appearances emanating an air of barbarity and violent bravery.

Unlike the Gnolls, these were real Orc Warriors.

Inherently aggressive, war and looting were their only pleasures.

Inside the Clan Leader's hall.

The Gnoll Clan Leader stood nervously to one side, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead.

He never expected that his call for reinforcements would bring the notoriously volatile Kedo.

Kedo was a young orc, both the leader of the tribe and the son of the Fireblade Tribe clan leader.

At this moment, the Gnoll Clan Leader wasn't sure if calling for backup from the Fireblade Tribe was the right decision.

"So you're saying that, during your absence, your camp was attacked by these undead?" Kedo asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes," the Gnoll hastily replied.

"This village is very rich? I haven't heard of Undead having any valuables," Kedo asked again.

He came here leading a team, certainly not to avenge the Gnoll camp.

The survival of these weak creatures didn't matter to them in the slightest.

They had heard that the village was very rich and came hoping to loot it.

"Very wealthy, very wealthy," the Gnoll Clan Leader simpered.

"Better be, if I find out you dared to deceive me, I'll turn your skull into a decorative piece and hang it on my wall," Kedo's warning carried a deadly threat.

The Gnoll Clan Leader broke out into more sweat and dared not utter a word.

At that moment, the scout who had been sent to investigate the situation returned and entered the hall.

"My lord, the situation has been surveyed. Indeed, there is an undead village, but it's under the protection of an energy shield," the scout reported in a solemn voice.

Kedo's face gradually darkened as he listened.

After the scout left, he roared out in rage, "You dare deceive me! I'll cut off your head to use as a chamber pot!"

The Fireblade Tribe were familiar with energy shields.

The energy shield perfectly protected the village, and no matter how powerful their machinery was, they could not break through it.

This signified that they made a wasted trip - even if the village's defences were low, they couldn't get in.

The Gnoll Clan Leader jumped at Kedo's roar.

He didn't know the function of the energy shield and had only thought of calling the Fireblade Tribe for revenge.

"I didn't dare, I didn't dare."

Just as Kedo was about to grab his battle axe and behead the Gnoll, a voice interrupted their conversation.

"Commander Kedo, I have a way to take the village," a voice proposed.

All eyes in the room suddenly turned to this speaker.

This was a human, wearing a Nike sports jacket over a piece of leather armour, with a brown book dangling from his waist.

Kedo's commanding presence was so strong no one had noticed there was a human standing in the Orc Tribe's hall.

Kedo suppressed his anger and asked in a cold voice, "What's your plan?"

With that, he slouched back in his seat with a nonchalant air.

"If there's a protective shield, it's likely one of my kind. If we can't break into the village, we can lure them out and kill them. Once they die, the shield will naturally disappear," said the human with a smile.

This man's name is Zhuang Hong.

Unfortunately, the day after he crossed over, his territory was discovered by the Fireblade Tribe.

Though his domain had a protective shield, and the orcs could not break in, they still blockaded the entrance, hindering the development of the domain.

The farmers couldn't leave, and resources couldn't be gathered.

Zhuang Hong proved to have some wit about him, he negotiated with the orcs and made the village a vassal of the tribe.

There was no need for military development; all they had to do was continually collect resources for the Fireblade Tribe.

He came today with Kedo, and when he heard the sound of an energy shield, he guessed it was another lord.

And this lord will be the gift he presents to Kedo.

"Are you confident?"

After hearing Zhuang Hong's plan, Kedo's eyes light up.

Orcs aren't good or particularly fond of strategic scheming, but they could acknowledge that this plan might work.

"We can give it a try," said Zhuang Hong.

"Good, as long as you succeed, I'll speak to my father to give you more power."

"Thank you," said Zhuang Hong with joy in his heart, hurriedly expressing his gratitude.

…

As dusk approached.

Fang Hao led his team back into his territory.

In addition to exploring nearby maps, they also hunted a large number of beasts.

Increasing the reserve of meat and beast skins.

After all, every day there's a great crowd roaring to be fed, waiting for him to serve up food.

Cancelled the "God's Presence" status and slaughtered all the beasts.

"Slaughter completed, gained 7500 meat, 450 beast skins, 300 beast bones."

On the fourth day of crossing over.

The demand for meat still existed.

He could tolerate a little more hardship, eat a little less.

But farmers and soldiers also needed to be provided with food to replenish energy and increase loyalty.

Imported the "Spiritual Field Blueprint" into the Book of Lords.

"Materials required for a Level 1 Spiritual Field: 1500 wood, 800 stone, 300 hemp ropes, 5 natural gems, 1 trace of the earth."

The requirements for a green-quality blueprint were high.

Among them, natural gems and the trace of the earth were rare resources that were hard to come by.

Luckily, the warehouse had these materials.

With the Book of Lords in hand, he chose to build on a flat open space outside the village.

A wooden fence enclosed a piece of empty ground. The wild grass disappeared and the soil was loose, not as hard as before.

He stood on the outside, measured the distance with his stride.

It was approximately a 10-meter by 10-meter square field.

However, they had no crop seeds yet.

Returned to his territory.

He sat down on a bench in front of a wooden hut, concocting soup while opening the area channel.

A lot of information scrolled on the surface.

"Does anyone know how to bandage a wound? I've been bitten by a wolf. What should I do? Could I get rabies?"

"Dinner's ready!"

"I'm sitting at the kids' table."

"Seriously, guys, I really got bitten. The wound is deep. Don't mess around."

"Immediately rinse the wound with water, then squeeze out the contaminated blood."

"Can I use river water?"

"It's best to use clean water so as not to infect the wound."

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Then, Fang Hao's private chat soon followed up.

He opened it and saw it was the lord who just asked for advice on how to treat a wound.

"Is Brother Fang Hao there? Lifesaver ah! Can I exchange a pot with you? I'd like to boil some water."
