The appearance of the system prompt confirmed that ‘Pruell City’ had become a subsidiary city of Fang Hao.
He had thought of many possibilities, but he never expected to occupy this human city in this way.
He also didn’t expect Cyril to swear allegiance to the Blood Clan, treating its residents as livestock and offering them as gifts to the Blood Clan.
In short, Pruell City is now his.
He doesn’t plan to change the name, at least it’s not the time to change it at the moment.
[Pruell City]
[City Level: Grade five Original City]
[Properties: Food production +3o%, textile +5%, Human proliferation +io%.] (Description: A city with properties can bring various different buff effects, accelerating the city’s construction and development.)
Pruell City is only level five, and the increase in properties is not particularly remarkable.
[Unlocked Blueprint: Factory construction blueprint, Infantry training camp construction blueprint (Human Clan), Archery range construction blueprint (Human Clan), Cavalry training camp construction blueprint (Human Clan), Blacksmith shop construction blueprint (Human Clan), Tailor shop construction blueprint (Human Clan).]
A lot of blueprints have been unlocked.
Aside from the textiles factory blueprint, Fang Hao had already obtained the others a long time ago.
The difference was in the limit of the race.
After giving these blueprints and their permissions to Zhang Bin and Fu Lei, they can start constructing the corresponding buildings.
[Textile Factory]
[Category: Building]
[Ability: Textile +io%, Material saving +5%.]
(Description: Building a standard factory will facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the textile raw materials.)
[Construction materials required: 2200 Wood, 4500 Stone, 1200 Hardwood,
880 Stone Brick, 200 Iron, 120 Metal parts.]
Tavek had a textile factory and had even taken Fang Hao to visit it before.
He previously thought it was a large-scale factory constructed casually and didn’t expect it to have its blueprint and attribute enhancements.
As Fang Hao was analyzing the blueprint,
The scene was also cleaned up, with the bodies of the Blood Clan and humans separately piled up.
Lord, does this Blood Clansman need to be executed immediately?” Demitrija came over carrying Fielding and threw him on the ground.
The Blood Clan had a strong healing ability.
Even though Fielding had been impaled through the back of his skull with a longsword, he was not dead but rather in a near-death state.
His injuries, however, were slowly recovering.
If Fielding was safe enough, he could recover in a day.
“Tie him up for now, he may be useful later,” Fang Hao said.
“Yes, Lord.” Demitrija agreed, tying up Fielding.
Fearing his injuries would heal too quickly, he once again stabbed him with the longsword twice.
While the two were speaking,
Anjia had walked in with Tavek.
However, Tavek currently looked a little distressed, his face was dusty and tired, not resembling the appearance of someone who had just left his home.
Fang Hao glanced at Anjia, suspecting that Anjia had beaten him up before bringing him here.
“When I went to his house, his family said he was arrested yesterday morning I brought him out of the jail,” Anjia explained.
Fang Hao nodded, indicating he understood.
“Mr. Fang Hao, what, what’s happening?” Tavek’s legs were trembling a bit. With a large number of Undead gathered outside the City Lord’s Mansion, if it hadn’t been Anjia grabbing his collar, his legs would have given out and he wouldn’t have been able to walk.
“City Lord Cyril collaborated with the Blood Clan, attempting to turn Pruell City into a mole for the Blood Clan among humans,” Fang Hao pointed at Fielding on the ground.
Tavek looked over at the fallen Fielding and swallowed hard.
This news, it’s safe to say, was hard to believe.
But the man on the ground indeed exhibited the characteristics of the Blood Clan, and Fang Hao had no reason to deceive him.
“Then…what about City Lord Cyril?” Tavek continued to ask.
“I killed him, his body is over there.”
Thud!
Tavek’s legs gave out, and he slumped onto the ground.
Anjia stepped forward, lifted him up, and tossed him onto a nearby chair.
“Tavek, Cyril is dead, and now Pruell City is under my control. I plan to support you as the new City Lord, to manage Pruell City,” Fang Hao announced.
The situation in Pruell City was somewhat unique.
The original stability needed to be maintained. He needed a familiar and reputable figure among the city residents to serve as the City Lord.
After giving it some thought, the only person he knew was Tavek, a merchant in the city.
With a number of factories in the city providing numerous jobs for the residents, he certainly held some prestige.
“Ah…me? Mr. Fang Hao, you must be kidding,” Tavek felt this joke wasn’t funny at all.
“Tavek, this is no joke. By daybreak, some of the residents will return they’re the residents I saved from the Blood Clan,” Fang Hao looked earnestly at Tavek, and continued, “I need someone to stabilize the situation, so the city residents ’ do not panic.”
Tavek fell silent.
He was aware of the changes in the city these days.
Some perceptive merchants have already begun to move their assets. But his roots were in Pruell City, leaving was not an option.
Only yesterday morning, when Cyril arrested him on baseless charges, did he realize the gravity of the situation.
Everything Fang Hao was saying now synchronized perfectly with his experiences.
Fang Hao had saved him more than once, he had no reason to deceive him.
But the Undead outside seemed no more benign than the Blood Clan.
At least the Blood Clan retained a human appearance, while the Undead were left with stark white bones.
“Mr. Fang Hao, what should I do?” After much thought, Tavek decided to commit.
Fang Hao had saved his daughter, and him as well.
If he wanted his assets or Pruell City, he could easily have them, without having to go through all this trouble.
“It’s simple, I need you to sign a contract with me. I will support you to become the City Lord, manage this city well, and continue with your fabric business ” Fang Hao replied.
“But will the others agree to me becoming the City Lord?” Tavek asked worryingly.
“You’re referring to Cyril’s supporters? They’re all dead. Those who remain, as long as they don’t want to die, won’t object,” Fang Hao declared nonchalantly. Tavek swallowed, his face filled with disbelief.
It seemed that not only Cyril was dead but also many of the city’s elites.
After some contemplation, Tavek finally agreed, “Alright, I trust Mr. Fang Hao.”
The Slave Contract was signed by both.
The initial loyalty level of Tavek was 85 points, which was relatively high.
Then, the two discussed subsequent plans.
As the sun began to rise, all the Undead swiftly retreated from the city to prevent panic among the residents.
Tavek left.
According to the plan, he began to take over the city guards, went to the prison to free other magnates who had been imprisoned by Cyril, and convinced them to accept him as their new City Lord.
Fang Hao continued to the residence of the deceased City Lord Cyril.
All valuables that could be taken away were moved outside, to be carted away later. y
In Cyril’s room, Fang Hao found his target, a golden chest.
He opened it.
“Obtained: Blueprints for Military Warspear (Blue), Military Round Shield (Blue), Hardwood Cavalry Bow (Green), Nightfall Silk Spinning Machine, Hardwood Double Bed, Hardwood Screen, Leader’s Fortress Command Chair 22 Soul Crystals, and 202 Warfire Coins.”
