Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 509: Chapter 425, Setting up a Lord (Seeking subscriptions, seeking recommendations.)_2

There was really no need to conceal this matter. Telling the truth would only affirm that Fang Hao meant no harm to Miriam and her son.

As expected, on hearing Fang Hao’s response, Miriam seemed much more relaxed.

She certainly knew about Baccarat’s alchemy business on normal days, but she was not aware of his trips to Lyss City.

Just when Miriam was about to ask some more, the half-demon Baccarat returned carrying a few cups of milk tea.

He politely placed the milk tea in front of Fang Hao and the others.

Having guests at home was a rare event for a half-demon like Baccarat, who rarely went out. It was a rare lively day for him.

Noticing that everyone had stopped talking, Fang Hao changed the topic, “Priestess Miriam, I am planning to train some skilled herbalists and midwives for my territories. I was wondering if they could be sent to the temple for further training?”

Fang Hao had set up temples in all his subsidiary territories and had set up statues of the king in the temples.

So, he thought of training some assistant priests, using the temples as a function of hospitals.

Although herbal medicine didn’t have a significant effect like alchemical potions, it was more suitable for civilians because of its affordability and easy production.

Later, the assistant priests in the temple could treat injuries and deliver babies in the name of the king, which would gather more faith for Fang Hao.

This was part of Fang Hao’s plan when he set up the temples.

Now that he had the opportunity, he simply mentioned it to Miriam.

Miriam was surprised by Fang Hao’s proposal. She initially thought Fang Hao was just a young master of a merchant family with some businesses.

However, she didn’t expect him to have his own territories and temples.

But after some careful thought, it made sense. It wasn’t surprising for a person like Fang Hao, who had both wealth and manpower, to have his own territory.

“Yes, you can bring them to the temple when the time comes,” Miriam agreed.

The temple provided food and lodging to the assistant priests, but it did not provide any wages.

So, there were no restrictions on the number of assistant priests who would come over.

“Good, I’ll arrange for people to come over,” Fang Hao replied with a nod.

After a few more casual talk, Fang Hao stood up and said, “It’s getting late. We won’t bother you any longer. There might be more mercenaries coming later. It might be best to stay somewhere else for a while.”

Miriam and the half-demon both understood the meaning in Fang Hao’s words.

They slightly nodded but did not give a direct response.

Fang Hao and the others left the hall and returned to Lyss City the same way they came.

…

The group returned empty-handed just like they left.

One could say that today’s trip was fruitless.

“The demon the mercenaries mentioned, is Baccarat right!” Anjia spoke up.

Fang Hao hadn’t told her about the half-demon.

But from the conversation, she managed to garner some information.

“Yes, Baccarat is a half-demon. That’s why he always carries that black coat wherever he goes. I observed the manor and didn’t find any traces of demons. Baccarat must be the demon those mercenaries were talking about,” Fang Hao explained.

Only then did Anjia understand why Fang Hao wanted to tour the manor.

He was confirming whether there were other demons present.

“No wonder, I was wondering why he, like a vampire, has to hide during the day,” Anjia slapped her thigh and said.

The return trip was not as easy as the journey there.

All of them hastened their steps, hurrying back in the direction of Lyss City.

With the arrival of autumn, the nightfall was getting earlier.

They needed to return to Lyss City before the city gates were closed, or else they would have to spend the night outside the city.

…..

Just before dusk, Fang Hao and the others returned to Lyss City.

After returning to their mansion and having dinner,

Fang Hao laid on his bed, eating the fruit the maid had brought him.

Ding!

Just then, a private chat notification tone came from the Book of Lords.

Fang Hao opened the private chat channel and found a message from Dong Jiayue. So far, the army led by The Black Sword was still excavating and recovering the Desolate Battlefield.

Apart from digging into the collapsed temple, the entire dark red land was filled with the leftover weapons and equipment from the dead bodies of the former army.

Dong Jiayue was in charge of supporting the rear, commanding human soldiers, and preparing lots of carriages and ropes.

He opened the private chat content.

“Brother Hao, we’ve collected tens of thousands of severely damaged equipment from the Desolate Battlefield. Where should we send them?”

It turned out that she was asking where to send the equipment.

“Send them to Zhenbei City in the Bloody Mountain Range. I’ll have people in Zhenbei City transport them to the dwarves,” Fang Hao replied after some thought.

“Okay. And Brother Hao, some of the city lords on the way have contacted me. They also want to join our territories. Don’t worry, I already told them not to disclose any information about us,” Dong Jiayue continued.

From Dong Jiayue’s city to the Desolate Battlefield.

Along the way, you can encounter several cities of transmigrators.

Moreover, in the last couple of days, the undead have been continuously transporting equipment outward, so these Lords naturally arrange for staff to investigate the situation.

When they find out that Dong Jiayue is in the undead army, it’s easy for them to associate it with Fang Hao.

Therefore, for various reasons, they contacted Dong Jiayue one after the other, hoping to join Fang Hao’s territory.

“You’re responsible for them, remember to have them avoid talking nonsense in the channel and focus on developing agriculture,” Fang Hao contemplated and replied.

As his territory develops, he would engage more and more transmigrators.

Given the transmigrators’ habit of hitching a ride, there would be more people joining his territory by then.

As the number of people increases, Fang Hao wouldn’t be able to manage it all by himself.

This leads to another feature after establishing a kingdom.

Appointing City Lords!

Fang Hao can appoint administrators within a certain area to be City Lords.

The Book of Lords for these City Lords can restore the power to absorb and take control of the administrative right to their areas.

As a result, Fang Hao wouldn’t need to manage every city; he only needs to manage the City Lords of each area.

This feature significantly avoids the situation where he can’t manage all the cities after expanding his territory.

The task has been assigned, and each area will handle its own distribution.

“Understood, Brother Hao,” Dong Jiayue directly received the notice of being appointed as a City Lord.

She instantly understood Fang Hao’s thoughts.

At the same time, she felt overjoyed at being made a City Lord, which is akin to a promotion. It was a level higher than the ordinary new members.

“Mmm, and thoroughly check those people too. Don’t be lenient with those who have bad intentions,” Fang Hao added.

Transmigrators also come in all types.

“Understood, Brother Hao,” Dong Jiayue responded once again.

After ending their conversation, Fang Hao continued to eat his fruit and browse through the books he bought from a stall.

Although they weren’t any special skill books, they still recorded some information about this continent.

Thump thump thump!!

Suddenly, a flurry of running steps sounded from outside the window.

Fang Hao has been here for two days.

During these two days, it was common to see armies on the street carrying out tasks.

This indicated that Rebecca received new information and was capturing the Faceless in the city.

As Fang Hao’s collaboration with Rebecca was discovered, she stopped assigning tasks to Fang Hao’s people and adopted a more extreme approach, searching for the Faceless throughout the city.

This included a retaliation for the assassination attempt on Rebecca.

Rebecca reminded Fang Hao to leave the city for a while to avoid retaliation from the Faceless.

However, Fang Hao wasn’t that worried about assassination.

His dwelling place might not have as many soldiers as the City Lord’s mansion, but it was guarded by four heroes; Demitrija, Anjia, Little You, and Rolana.

Moreover, since he now possessed Divinity, his strength greatly improved, which was enough to ensure his safety within the city.

Even if Rebecca amassed an army to kill him, he would have ample time to perform a Demon teleportation and return to his territory.

Unless an Orange-ranked or higher assassin came after him, there was virtually no chance of keeping him here.

Fang Hao opened the window and looked down.

He saw a group of silver armored soldiers running past under his window, disappearing at the end of the road.

As the soldiers disappeared at the end of the road, a familiar figure was revealed.

Rolana!

Although she was far away and dressed in androgynous attire, Fang Hao still recognized her.

Why is she going out so late?

Last time, Fang Hao followed Rolana when he became suspicious of her movements. He found out she went into the City Lord’s mansion.

This made Fang Hao curious about Rolana’s relationship with the City Lord’s mansion.

He turned around, opened his backpack, and released the skeleton gray sparrow.

The sparrow flew out from the window, following Rolana from a distance.
