Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 117 Obsidian Mine

Drum Magrath's rage in the distant Old World did not affect Wangbo Port in the New World for the time being.

It would take ten days or half a month for his people to arrive in the New World with his anger. Wangbo Port had not yet realized that trouble was coming.

Of course, Wangbo Port has always been paying attention to the affairs of Duke Durham. After all, he is one of the sponsors of Wangbo Port's rapid development.

Drake's two pirate ships have been cruising in the Sword Bay area. When they have nothing to do, they go to the former site of Duke Drum's camp to check in case the other party has already set up camp and they don't know about it.

Facing the threat from Duke Durham, the people of Wangbo Port have to do a simple thing, which is to fight against the enemy with soldiers and block the water with earth.

"He is a duke from the Old World. Don't think he can bully others in the New World."

Now even Uther can say this with courage. He has completely lost his respect for the traditional forces of the Old World.

There is no way. Uther is a little inflated. Even if Lord Karen does not take action, Wangbo Port can now mobilize a group of troops with considerable combat power, which is enough to resist the invading foreign enemies.

The city guard of Wangbo Port, which is the official army under Kevin's command, now has 120 soldiers including the players.

There were also about a hundred people on Drake's two pirate ships, twenty on Hellion's side, and a dozen vampire mages on the Desolation.

If we only count humans, they can gather a force of nearly 300 people.

Add to that more than fifty lizardmen and more than fifteen hundred skeleton soldiers, Wangbo Port now has a lot of forces that can be mobilized for combat.

Looking across the entire New World, how many forces could produce so many soldiers at once? And more than half of them were fearless.

With this confidence, Uther naturally straightened his back. He no longer worried about confronting the enemy or being invaded. In this situation, they were the only ones who could invade others.

It’s a pity that Wangbo Port doesn’t have that many weapons and equipment, and those skeleton soldiers can only use wooden and stone weapons at present.

After a large number of skeletons poured in and there was enough labor, the lack of tools became the biggest shortcoming restricting production.

Fortunately, the skeletons had low requirements and could use stone and wooden tools. Wangbo Port rushed to make a lot of them overnight.

It doesn't matter if you're tired or inefficient. The skeletons won't feel tired anyway. They can work overtime to make up for the lack of tools.

Now, almost all of Wangbo Port’s iron has been invested in making tools to help the rapid advancement of agriculture and urban construction.

The weapons and armor used by the soldiers were basically captured, or leather armor, which can be somewhat popularized. Wangbo Port has no shortage of various animal furs.

Leather armor made from the fur of animals with thick, rough skin and flesh wasn't necessarily any less defensive than inferior armor. Crucially, it was lightweight, making it even more popular among warriors patrolling the forests.

Moreover, Granny Oak also knows a little about the production of leather armor. His craftsmanship also brings a lot of bonuses to the leather armor. The leather armor he makes is indeed stronger.

Granny Oak is indeed an all-round dwarf craftsman. His asking price of three gold dragons can only be said to be very reasonable. Skilled workers are already highly paid, not to mention that he can do the work of several people alone, so three gold dragons seems too little.

Thinking of this, Karen looked towards the depths of the jungle. He had promised Granny Oak the obsidian before, and now it was time to fulfill it. After all, this was also going to be used for Bloodstone Castle.

Of course, runes are not limited to use in Bloodstone Castle. The dwarves' rune culture has spread widely and has a variety of functions. Whether it is individuals or armies, there are applicable runes.

We really need to find a way to control this obsidian mine, but the control method cannot be too simple and crude. After all, there is a "Magic Toad Holy Spirit" behind the Lizardman.

At this stage, this "Demon Toad Holy Spirit" who is most likely not a god is more troublesome than a real god.

Since the War of the Gods, it has become more difficult for the power of the gods to penetrate the world of Torres. In the previous "Dark Age of Troubles", the gods were even completely unable to respond to the believers' prayers.

Although the situation has improved a lot with the passage of time, the gods are still cautious about showing their power in the world of Torres, and no one wants that kind of thing to happen again.

The divine might is not evident, and the incarnations of gods rarely appear in the world. The era of living legends has naturally arrived. The "Magic Toad Holy Spirit", a legendary creature native to the New World who is planning to become a god, is naturally the most dangerous one in the world of Torres at this time.

If he were still in his prime, Karen would have definitely gone straight for A, but he is now in "Ultraman state". If he cannot end the battle right at the beginning, he will only fall into a disadvantage later and become weaker and weaker. So he still has to be steady and not alarm the "Magic Toad Holy Spirit" for the time being.

Karen transformed into a bat, went deep into the jungle, and once again came to the obsidian mine. This place was still some distance away from Bloodstone Castle. The lizardmen rarely explored outside the jungle, so they had always lived in peace with Wangbo Port.

The village where the Lizardmen are responsible for mining obsidian mines is directly responsible to the nearby large city of Hellrank City. This Hellrank City is like a city-state, and the entire Lizardmen force is a large alliance, and the "Holy City" Hestaza is the capital of the alliance.

The entire Lizardman Alliance was managed very loosely, and it was this management model that gave Karen an opportunity to take advantage.

Because the management of the obsidian mine in the city of Hellrank is also very loose. It only requires the priests of the obsidian mine to report on their work regularly, which actually means regularly transporting the obsidian back to the city of Hellrank. People only care about whether the obsidian can be delivered.

Under Karen's watchful eye, the entire obsidian mine operated in an orderly manner. This time, Karen finally met the manager here, a lizard priest dressed similarly to Slako, but with some minor differences.

This lizard priest looks thinner and more feminine. This lizard priest is female.

"Good boy, this is a perfect match for Slako. Slako has been hinting at this matter. Could it be that he has feelings for the female Skink Priestess of the Obsidian Mine?"
A strange thought came to Karen's mind, but Slaco was indeed very concerned about the obsidian mine. It was Slaco who took the initiative to bring up the matter of the obsidian mine before. With that guy's intelligence, this possibility might not be impossible.
