Chapter 1308: Chapter 891, Blood Clan’s Call for Help

Hearing that an elf was coming over.

The good mood from just having received a reward vanished in an instant.

He speculated about the purpose of their visit.

The last time he chatted with Aerygon, he had mentioned the elves.

Although they only delivered an invitation, he did not trust the elves, nor did he trust Savana.

He always felt that those people harbored ill intentions.

“Just say we’re in battle readiness and temporarily not accepting visitors. If there’s anything, they can notify the Trade Alliance to relay the message,” Fang Hao thought for a moment and then decided to refuse.

He had hardly any contact with elves; it couldn’t possibly be about anything serious.

Uncertain of their intent, it was better to just refuse outright.

“Yes, my lord.”

The Skeleton merchant nodded and left.

Fang Hao also directly exited the lord’s mansion.

…

Dragon Queen’s courtyard.

Beata, sitting demurely in front of the stone table, was discussing the day’s events with her mother.

“So, he’s obtained the Blueprint of the Mammoth?” the Dragon Queen sipped from her wine glass, looking at her daughter.

She remembered clearly that Fang Hao had promised to give her a Golden Mammoth.

Beata, smelling the wine’s fragrance, swallowed and nodded, “Yes, it’s inscribed on a stone tablet, and this time the Mammoth is so ugly, entirely black and mounted with two big cannons, just like a black furred wild pig, too ugly.”

“A stone tablet? Can the transmigrator use a stone tablet?” Ignoring her daughter’s description, she continued asking.

“Seems like he can’t, and based on his expression, he didn’t recognize what was on the tablet either, probably pretty dumbfounded,” Beata said, her lips unconsciously curling into a smile.

The Dragon Queen nodded, not saying much more.

At that moment, footsteps sounded from outside the door.

A Nisbit marched in, followed by four Skeleton Warriors, carrying a statue of an elephant carved from White Jade Stone, wrapped in a layer of gold armor.

It was a miniature version of the Golden Mammoth construct.

“Dragon Queen, Ms. Beata, this is what Lord Fang Hao asked me to deliver,” Nisbit stepped aside, revealing the sculpture behind him.

Both mother and daughter’s eyes lit up, showing a flash of joy.

Beata was about to go up and touch it when she heard the Dragon Queen say, “It’s quite beautiful, place it in the hall.”

Uh…

Beata paused in her steps; she had wanted to have it sent to her own residence.

But since her mother had spoken, there wasn’t much she could do.

She added, “If my mother likes it, then we should put it in the hall!”

“Yes.” Nisbit gestured, and the Skeleton Warriors deposited the white jade elephant inside the hall.

After placing it, Nisbit bowed again and took the soldiers to leave.

The mother and daughter then stood up to admire the finely crafted artifact.

“Did he get this from the cave as well?” the Dragon Queen asked.

“No, not this one.”

“En, he’s considerate, at least.”

Beata’s cheeks reddened, and she muttered softly, “I’ve helped him so much, he ought to send over a sculpture.”

…

After constructing the ‘Large Energy Production Workshop’ and arranging for the workers.

Fang Hao returned to the lord’s mansion.

Just as he reached the entrance,

The system notification rang out suddenly.

[Silvermoon Spear – Beata, her Loyalty towards you has increased by 5 points, current Loyalty 95.]

[Zenith Blazing Sun – Tiralte, her Loyalty towards you has increased by 2 points, current Loyalty 80.]

After hearing the notification, Fang Hao paused in his tracks.

It seems that the Mammoth statue had been delivered.

But…

Do they like it that much?

Both of their Loyalties had increased.

This Dragon Clan’s obsession with gold had indeed reached a fervent level.

In time, once the Mammoth can be produced, he could further increase their Loyalty.

To see if it could directly hit 100 points.

Beata was already at 95, not much left to go.

After returning to the lord’s mansion, it did not take long for the sky to darken.

After interacting with Eira and Little White for a while.

He then went to rest at the lady boss Winnie’s place.

…

The next day.

Fang Hao went to the Trade Alliance and ordered a Blueprint for a large War Halberd at the Fire Hammer Shop.

To meet the ‘Giant Mercenaries Guard’s’ requirements.

In fact, the Dwarves of Gray Iron City could also make and inscribe Blueprints.

But the quality and speed couldn’t compare to the craftsmanship of the workers at the Fire Hammer Shop.

So, he simply placed an order for the Giant halberd at the Fire Hammer, which had returned to normal business.

Returning from the Trade Alliance.

Just as he stepped into the lord’s mansion, he saw Rolana and her mother ‘Isabella’ sitting in the hall, drinking tea and chatting.

He hadn’t expected Isabella to suddenly visit him.

“Lady Isabella…” Fang Hao greeted, walking straight in.

Isabella nodded and asked directly, “I heard that the Dragon Queen has taken up permanent residence on your side?”

“En,” Fang Hao did not hide the truth.

“When did you become so friendly?” Isabella found it hard to believe.

Fang Hao and the Blood Clan had the relationship with Rolana, after all.

But with the Dragon Clan, they were originally fighting bitterly to the death.

Now upon a glance, it seemed that they were instead drawing even closer.

Even the usually dominant Dragon Queen chose to settle down here, which was somewhat surprising.

“The Dragon Queen has indeed given me a lot of help, and similarly, just as Lady Isabella would like to settle here, I can also build a courtyard for you. The environment is quite nice.” Fang Hao continued.

Isabella gave her daughter a glance and smiled without saying much.

She and the Dragon Queen were different; while the latter did not care about anything, she had to oversee the Blood Clan.

“I’ve come this time to place an order for a batch of equipment with you, to arm the frontlines, and, as an ally, as well as the mother of Rolana, I hope you can arrange some military support to relieve the pressure on the border,” Isabella shifted her speech to her purpose for the visit.

Purchasing equipment, that was simple.

But the request for supporting the border took Fang Hao by surprise.

You’re a demigod who personally oversees your territory; why do you need external aid?

“I’m not quite sure what you mean. Why would a demigod need our support?” Fang Hao asked seriously too.

Isabella picked up her teacup, took a sip with an utterly calm expression, showing no sign of requesting military aid.

She slowly set the cup down before explaining, “The Blood Clan have no faith, you know that, right?”

Whether the Blood Clan had faith or not, Fang Hao didn’t know.

But within Rolana’s racial traits, there was one called ‘Impure Divine Power’.

This described the Blood Clan as having stolen Divine Power, becoming powerful while also being shunned by living creatures and abandoned by the gods.

That must be what Isabella was referring to by not having faith.

Without any gods willing to protect them, the demigod Isabella was the closest to a divine being within the Blood Clan.

“I don’t know it well, but I understand what you mean. What does this have to do with the war?” Fang Hao leaned forward, quite interested in this topic.

“Recently, the situation has become very unstable. I suspect that some gods have started plotting to take over Blood Clan territory and have begun some actions,” Isabella spoke softly.

Fang Hao understood.

This meant that as a demigod, Isabella could still deter other demigods.

But if a god decided to take action against the Blood Clan, that would be serious.

Just like the God of Deception last time, merely by verbally intimidating both the Blood Clan and the Dragon Clan, it had made two demigods extremely anxious.

Especially Isabella, who upon returning, almost went into full military readiness.

Simply put, in this world.

Most races have the divine right of kings, with gods controlling them from behind.

“So, our enemy is another god?” Fang Hao said.

“Not necessarily,” Isabella shook her head. “It could also just be probing; probing the territory or the testing of the two demigods of the Blood Clan. I need your help to hold the border with the Orcs.”

According to Isabella’s explanation.

There was originally no intersection between the Blood Clan and the Orcs, with a region called ‘Miner Forest’ in between.

Inhabited by some scattered small tribes, it also served as a buffer zone for both large clans.

But now, the Orcs had occupied the ‘Miner Forest’ in the middle and were frequently clashing with the Blood Clan at the border.

The reports being relayed back included descriptions of divine intervention, hence the suspicion of gods’ involvement.

Isabella needed to oversee the Blood Clan and deter the border with the Human Clan.

If she appeared on the Orcs’ border, the Human Clan would launch a large-scale attack.

Therefore, she needed Fang Hao’s help, in terms of military forces and the support of demigods.

Or rather, the courage to confront gods.

“What god is it? Any intel?” Fang Hao continued to inquire.

“No intel, but the Orcs have been fighting a civil war recently, and it’s related to faith,” Isabella said with her same calm tone.

No intel, not knowing which god it was.

This was really tricky.

After thinking for a while, Fang Hao said, “When should I arrange for military support?”

He was definitely going to help. After all, they had helped to confront the God of Deception, and now it was time to repay the favor.

But with little intel, this was a bit problematic.

First, station some troops there; if they can’t hold the line and the opponent is indeed a mighty god,

Fang Hao would consider allocating a territory for Isabella to temporarily avoid the storm.

“In a few days would be fine. Anyway, with your abilities, it’s quite easy to transport troops there,” Isabella also revealed a smile.

“Okay, I need to make arrangements as well.”

“En.”

After chatting for a while, Rolana took Isabella to the warehouse to select equipment.

They would be delivered directly to the Blood Clan territory through the Trade Alliance.

…

Night fell.

The heroes of the city were gathered in the great hall.

In the forefront were the Dragon Queen, the four black-armored sisters, Demitrija, and some other higher-level heroes.

Behind them were ordinary heroes and some heads of the craftsmen teams.

Fang Hao shared the day’s events regarding ‘Isabella’.

He then said, “That’s the situation. At that time, part of the forces will be assigned to assist the Blood Clan in defending against the Orcs’ harassment.”

The audience was silent, not voicing any opinions.

The people or heroes here still had the impression of the Orcs from the Cold Wind Mountain Range, the Bronze Bull Tribe, and such forces.

Subconsciously, there was no sense of crisis.

“So you’re saying, there’s a good chance that our enemy this time is another deity.”

The Dragon Queen suddenly spoke, grasping the crux of the information.

“Yes!”
