Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 900 - 575, The Technician’s Accident_2
"I’m in my own fortress, and this message was brought back by the guards I arranged to be stationed in that village."
After pondering for a moment, Fang Hao said, "Tomorrow morning, we’ll go there together to see if that technician left behind any blueprints."
"Alright, boss."
After ending the chat, Fang Hao closed the Book of Lords.
He headed to the Skeleton Conversion Field once again.
...
The matters regarding the Dragon Clan posed a potential threat to his territory.
High mobility, formidable strength.
Although, for now, his territory remained a secret to the Dragon Clan.
The world is vast, and there are many transmigrators.
For the Dragon Clan to pinpoint his location wouldn’t be easy.
But all this was temporary.
Who could guarantee that the Dragon Clan didn’t have some kind of tracking spell or artifact, or that they wouldn’t receive useful information from the transmigrators?
Thus, making preparations and always being ready for a visit from the Dragon Clan was necessary.
Upon arriving at the Skeleton Conversion Field, he opted to recruit.
Dragon Crystals, 45 of them.
There were two types of troops available for recruitment: Skeleton Pseudo-Dragon Guard (Tier 6) and Bone Dragon (Tier 10).
Skeleton Pseudo-Dragon Guards were of no great use to his territory at present.
And since the number of Dragon Crystals was limited, he didn’t plan to recruit them.
He went straight for the Bone Dragons.
Bone Dragon: Wriggling Spines 10, Death Trace 7, Star Silver 5, Dragon Crystal 10.
The number to recruit was set at 4.
He confirmed the recruitment.
[Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, recruiting 404 Bone Dragons.]
The next second.
The sky overhead suddenly darkened.
Bone Dragons appeared in droves, either landing or hovering in the sky.
Some even crushed the roofs of sheds and flattened the seedlings in the flowerbeds on both sides.
"All of you, gather outside East City," Fang Hao shouted loudly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Bone Dragons headed toward the outskirts of the city amidst strong gusts of wind.
On his way, Fang Hao called over the blacksmith ’Kulyn’ to join him.
On the outskirts, in the open field.
404 Bone Dragons were scattered about, standing around the area.
Fang Hao looked at the number of Bone Dragons and nodded in satisfaction.
Although 404 wasn’t a large number, they could play a significant role in facing the Dragon Clan and the upcoming battle with Odys.
He asked Kulyn to wait on the side for a moment.
He then opened the Book of Lords and searched for the blueprints for Bone Dragon equipment.
[Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, 404 Giant Dragon’s White Steel Helmets obtained.]
[Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, 404 Giant Dragon’s White Steel Armors obtained.]
[Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, 404 Giant Dragon’s White Steel Claw Guards obtained.]
[Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, 404 Giant Dragon’s White Steel Tail Guards with Tail Spikes obtained.]
Huge piles of Giant Dragon equipment appeared, filling the space around them.
"Kulyn, gather all the blacksmiths and start fitting the Bone Dragons with their armor," Fang Hao instructed.
Bone Dragons could not equip themselves with armor.
It needed to be done manually.
"Yes, my lord."
Kulyn went back and brought all the blacksmiths to start fitting the Bone Dragons with their equipment.
Fang Hao stood by, watching everyone busy at work.
The White Steel armor for the Bone Dragons was somewhat outdated.
It was hard to leverage the full capabilities of such a troop type; purple armor would protect the Bone Dragons’ bodies better.
But that kind of Dragon Armor wasn’t easily obtained.
"Should I go to the Dragon Clan Store with a disguise?"
"No, it’s too risky. If discovered by the Dragon Clan, a fight would break out on the spot."
"What about sending someone else? Ideally, someone unrelated to my race."
"No good. When showing the invitation card, it’ll display the holder’s information, which could easily give us away."
"This is tricky."
Without joining in on Kulyn and the others’ work, he went straight back to the lord’s mansion.
After dinner.
Fang Hao patted his stomach, thinking about taking a dip in the hot springs.
Then, the Sound-transmitting Shell relayed another message.
He held it to his ear, and immediately Rebecca’s indignant voice came through.
"Have you forgotten about me? Bring me over..."
Fang Hao smiled faintly, deployed the doll, and cast a teleportation spell.
A mature and beautiful figure immediately stepped out from the light screen.
...
The next day, at dawn.
A cavalry troop composed of Lionheart Knights.
Was galloping swiftly on the narrow dirt road.
Finally, ahead on the road, the silhouette of a village became visible.
"Boss, that’s the village up ahead, we’d better send someone ahead to notify them," Zhang Bin called out loudly.
Fang Hao nodded, signaling for the cavalry to slow down.
The appearance of the cavalry had also attracted the attention of the village.
Farmers hurried back to their homes, and some villagers armed with hoes and pitchforks climbed onto the walls made of logs and adobe.
"Zhang Bin, you’ve been here twice before, take some men and go ahead to inform them," Fang Hao said.
"Alright."
Zhang Bin, with two cavalrymen, continued to approach the village on horseback.
Since Zhang Bin had already visited before, the interaction did not require much effort.
Shortly after, Zhang Bin waved at them, signaling it was okay to approach.
Nearing the village.
The cavalry stationed themselves outside the village, while Fang Hao, Zhang Bin, Aseti, and five knights entered the village directly.
The village was small in scale, likely having a population of a little over a hundred people.
They were now gathered at the gate, looking at the unexpected visitors.
The villagers were all ordinary farmers.
The few wielding weapons could be considered the village militia.
At that moment, a man with somewhat disheveled hair ran over in a hurry.
"Honored lords, please come this way," the man gestured for them to follow.
Fang Hao had some recollection of this person; he was the same merchant who had previously gone to Zhang Bin’s territory to sell mechanical bodies.
As a merchant, he was naturally more slippery than the average farmer.
And was not as wary.
Zhang Bin also said, "This time, we’ve brought some daily necessities and plan to exchange them with you for some furs and seeds."
This season, the village didn’t have much in terms of agricultural products.
The items for exchange were primarily furs and seeds.
"No problem, no problem," the merchant assured.
The Lionheart Knights, opening their backpacks, poured out an assortment of farm tools that Fang Hao had made.
Farm tools were quite in demand in the village and were sure to sell.
The merchant saw many items that would be useful.
He immediately called over to the villagers, asking those who wanted to trade to bring out their goods.
Soon enough, beast skins, seeds, and some other curiosities were all brought out.
Zhang Bin proceeded with the exchange.
After the exchange was complete, Zhang Bin still had a large quantity of goods left over.
"What do you think...? If you have anything else, I can’t just take these back," Zhang Bin said with a troubled look.
The villagers whispered among themselves for a while. Read exclusive adventures at novelbuddy
Someone spoke a few words in the merchant’s ear, who then nodded slightly.
Next, the villagers left.
When they returned, they were carrying several wicker baskets filled with various mechanical parts.

Some were clearly damaged, while others were still in relatively good condition.
The merchant, looking at the few men before him, said, "These are parts of mechanical bodies. Take a look and see what you need, we’ll use the same exchange rate as last time."
Zhang Bin glanced at Fang Hao.
Then squatted down, sifting through the parts.
There were only parts, no blueprints or complete mechanical bodies.
But among them, he found two ’Energy Cores’.
Zhang Bin traded for them with the goods, and the deal seemed to please the villagers as well.
It looked like the cooperation was quite satisfactory to both parties.
Zhang Bin continued, "We heard that the technician in the village had an accident. Could we pay our respects?"
"Of course, I’ll have someone guide you there."
"No need, just point us in the right direction. We’ll head back straight after," Zhang Bin replied.
"Oh, it’s to the north of the village, at the gravestone marked ’Patrick’," the merchant said.
"Okay, good. Then we will take our leave."
After speaking, the group left the village, accompanied by the farewell of the villagers, heading toward the north of the village.
…
They proceeded northward.
Passing through a dense forest.
They soon saw the cemetery mentioned by the villagers.
Villagers, unlike the nobles in the city, did not have cemeteries.
They simply fenced off a section of land in a roughly designated area to bury their dead.
Finding ’Patrick’s’ stele was easy.
The stele was new.
Fang Hao surveyed the surroundings, seeing no other villagers had followed.
He took out a shovel and handed them out.
"Dig!"
