Skullcrusher headed to the warehouse to retrieve his ‘in-life’ gear.

These equipment were stored in the weapons warehouse as long as they were not broken, with no one touching them.

Skullcrusher’s gear consisted of a set of purple heavy armor and a spiked long­handled war hammer.

It was from this that he derived his name, Skullcrusher.

Fang Hao used this time to inspect Skullcrusher’s attributes.

Skullcrusher’s attributes are pretty decent.

Overall, he is a military general who is adept at combat.

However, during his previous stint managing Frostwind Range, he had turned it into a region ripe with internal strife.

Despite having a unified system, he allowed mutually plundering practices.

As long as one did not mess with the Skullcrusher Tribe, regular tribute punctually every month sufficed.

This led to chaos within Frostwind Range, with many mines unable to operate normally.

Now that Skullcrusher’s memory had been modified, he had 100% loyalty to Fang Hao and his domain.

It likely wouldn’ t pose much of a problem when the time came to deploy him at Frostwind Range.

He was both acquainted with the place and had deterrence power.

“Master, Sister Eira asks you to come for breakfast,” a maid walked over.

“Okay,” Fang Hao agreed, and he set off for the lord’s mansion.

After a quick breakfast.

Fang Hao, along with Anjia, Demitrija and Skullcrusher, mounted the Bone Dragon.

Once everything was ready, the Bone Dragon flew towards the sky, heading for Frostwind Range.

Within Frostwind City.

When the Bone Dragon landed, Shaman Clyde led a group of Orcs to welcome them.

Upon spying Fang Hao’s entourage and the skeletal hero, he quickly recognized Skullcrusher’s identity.

“Chieftain Shah….”

Clyde’s face changed, while the others, stunned, fell to their knees in fear.

It seemed that Shah’s terror had deeply infiltrated into the hearts of all here.

Though it was a skeleton, the body size and gear it wore was exactly the same as what Skullcrusher Shah had used.

Everyone could ascertain that this was Skullcrusher Shah after death.

Skullcrusher looked indifferently at the people kneeling before him and said, “First, meet Lord Fang Hao.”

Although Skullcrusher’s memory was modified, not all of it had been wiped clean.

“Oh, oh.” Everyone quickly turned to pay homage to Fang Hao, “Lord.” “Alright, how are the mines’ reopening coming along?” Fang Hao strode into the chief’s hall and took his seat directly at the head.

The rest of them also sat down on their respective spots on both sides.

This time, an Orc stood up cautiously, his eyes sweeping over Fang Hao and Skullcrusher carefully, “My Lord, the mines are gradually resuming operations, but the tribes seem somewhat hesitant, they’re not very proactive.”

“Oh? What doubts?” Fang Hao curiously looked at him.

“This,…, I boldly surmise, it should still be an issue of the treatment you promised, it’s only my guess, just a guess.” As the Orc finished his sentence, sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Fang Hao had promised them some special treatment.

For instance, they did not need to provide monthly contributions and beauties, but just complete their monthly mining tasks.

They would also provide some basic necessities and even food for the tribes in the future.

The ‘doubts’ he referred to were probably doubts about whether Fang Hao, a human controlling an undead army, would really honor his promises.

“Skullcrusher.”

“Yes, my Lord,” Both of them looked at Fang Hao in unison.

“You’ll personally take care of this later. Arrange for people to open pubs in the villages where the mines are located, and depending on the need, provide free drinks.” After some thinking, Fang Hao ordered.

Giving out free drinks, combined with Skullcrusher’s intimidation.

These actions would serve as a reminder to these Orcs.

They had no rights to choose. They work and drink, and Fang Hao would be responsible for covering the essential needs.

Or they could return to the rule of Skullcrusher — same tasks, no more ease.

“Yes, my lord,” Skullcrusher replied.

Fang Hao looked at the Orc who spoke earlier, “This should resolve the problem, right?”

“Problem? There’s no more problem.”

Fang Hao nodded and turned his attention to Clyde, “Clyde, is the foundry progressing smoothly?”

“It’s going very smoothly. The factory is running normally, and the output is very steady. I’ve also arranged accommodations for the blacksmiths. Everything is normal,” Clyde assured.

“Good, what about the fortress that Fireblade is guarding?”

“Orcs have also been arranged to provide auxiliary work, my lord.”

“Hmm.” Fang Hao continued looking at everyone, “Are there any other issues to raise?”

“No more.”

“Hmm.” Fang Hao rose and walked toward the door.

He brought Skullcrusher and a few others to the warehouse and made 101 Troll fermenting barrels.

“Skullcrusher, these are Troll fermenting barrels. Pour in clean water and fruits, and it will ferment into fruit wine. Deliver these to the cities where the mining pits are.” Fang Hao explained.

“Understood, my Lord.”

“Hmm, now you stay here and manage these Orcs properly. If you need anything, notify me.” Fang Hao patted Skullcrusher’s shoulder.

“Yes, my lord. I will bear the heavy responsibility authorized by my lord.” “Good!”

Having finished his instructions to Skullcrusher, Fang Hao mounted his Bone Dragon again to check on Frostwind Fortress.

After exchanging a few words with the stationed Fireblade, he returned to the main city.

It was gradually getting late when he returned from Frostwind Range.

Riding the Bone Dragon had shortened the journey.

Yet, the distance was exceedingly great, requiring several hours of travel back and forth.

On returning to the lord’s mansion, Eira brought up the prepared dinner.

With four dishes and a soup, it was quite lavish.

Just as Fang Hao began eating, he heard the system notification.
