Upon pushing open the door and entering the Chieftain Hall, Fang Hao was taken aback by the scene before him.

The entire hall was filled with tribe and clan leaders from various tribes—over 500 of them, far more than the 212 tribes that Kenji had mentioned.

Even if each tribe had two clan leaders, that still wouldn’t account for this many people.

Fang Hao, escorted by Fireblade and others, made his way forward.

“Why are there so many people?” Fang Hao asked in a low voice as he continued to stride forward.

“The news of Skullcrusher’s death last night spread rapidly. As a result, so many new tribes emerged this morning. We had no choice but to allow them all to enter,” Fireblade responded.

The old traditions of the tribes had not changed at all.

Skullcrusher had gathered warriors from all the villages, leaving each tribe relatively weak in terms of combat power.

And just like this, in a single night, this many new villages were formed.

If Fang Hao truly ordered a complete massacre, leaving no one in Frostwind Mountain Range, these dissidents would struggle to hold him back.

“I see, I understand,” he responded.

Fang Hao ascended the steps and took his seat in the Great Chieftain’s position.

An elderly man draped in a cloak and leaning on a cane in the crowd below shouted first, “Greetings to the Great Chieftain.”

The remaining disorganized orc clan leaders, momentarily taken aback by the sight of the young human seated onstage, successively bowed and echoed, “Greetings to the Great Chieftain.”

Fang Hao glanced at the elder orc at the front.

[Shaman Clyde(Purple Tier, Third order Hero)]

It seemed like he was the officiant mentioned by Kenji, who was surprisingly, a third-order hero.

His title prefix was Shaman, which reminded Fang Hao of Nelson’s prefix—The Corpse Witch.

These prefixes, different from those of others, were more aligned with their own work.

More like inherited titles, or job titles.

“Stand up, all of you,” commanded Fang Hao.

As Shaman Clyde rose, all the other orcs followed suit.

Shamans often hold high positions within their areas, somewhat akin to spiritual leaders in modern terms.

Despite not being leaders or chieftains, they still hold considerable influence.

“I presume you have all heard about Skullcrusher. For the Frostwind Mountain Range, this is as much a calamity as it is a boon,” Fang Hao began.

The orcs below remained silent, with heads bowed. Some, unable to contain their restlessness, cast glances at their counterparts.

Continuing, Fang Hao commented, “The calamity lies in the breaking of the Mountain Range’s rules, necessitating the establishment of new order. The boon, however, is that the tyrant Skullcrusher is dead; you will no longer be exploited, nor will you be forced to send women from your tribe every month.”

There was a stir among the crowd at his words.

Much of the strife between the tribes of Frostwind Mountain Range originated from the tributes demanded by Shah.

Unable to fulfill these demands but also unable to refuse, the tribes were left with no choice but to raid neighboring tribes.

So far, the only tribe that had been spared from such raids was Skullcrusher Tribe, the rest being left to their own devices by Shah.

The other source of discord was the demand for women, making others envious, green-eyed as all the beautiful beast clan women were offered to Shah.

“Be respectful, listen to the Great Chieftain,” hollered Shaman with a striking tap of his cane.

The entire hall quieted instantly, waiting for Fang Hao’s next words.

“Alright. The new rules for Frostwind Mountain Range are still being established. But before they take effect, I want to set down a few rules myself. Anyone who defies them will run the risk of his tribe’s extinction.”

“Please proceed, Great Chieftain,” urged the Shaman.

“One, any form of internal conflict, via looting or provocation, is strictly prohibited. Anyone caught doing so will be sentenced to death. Two, your tribes are too dispersed. All tribes will be consolidated by Shaman Clyde, keeping the total number of tribes at around too. Three, at the appointed time, I will provide you with tasks that need to be completed. Those attempting to slack off or cheat are asking for trouble.”

“Great Chieftain, is this a law of the Human Clan?” asked Shaman at this point.

After all, Fang Hao was a human, so in their eyes, these rules seemed more akin to those of the Human Clan.

“No, this is the rule of the Undead. Remember, the days of plundering the wealth of others are over. From now on, all livelihoods depend on hard work,” Fang Hao sternly replied.

“Yes, we obey the orders of the Great Chieftain.”

“Alright, Clyde. Help them consolidate the tribes. Reduce the number of tribes to under too. Once you are done, come see me,” Fang Hao addressed the Shaman.

Shaman nodded, leading the clan leaders to a corner of the hall to commence the consolidation.

The Beastmen moved aside.

This gave Fang Hao some time to inspect his Book of Lords.

From the moment he sat in the position of the Great Chieftain, he had been receiving system prompts.

[Skullcrusher Tribe has become your subsidiary city. You may ‘rename’ this city and govern all its resources along with that of the subordinated tribes.]

Fang Hao mulled it over, finding the name ‘Skullcrusher Tribe’ rather unsightly.

He recalled a city named ‘Frostwind City’ in a game he once played, which seemed fitting for this city.

Hence, he decided to inscribe ‘Frostwind City’ in the renaming section.

[Successful renaming]

[Frostwind City]

[City Level: Level 7 Native City]

[Property: Mining +30%, coin tax +10%, Orc population growth +10%.]

(Description: A city with specific attributes that can bring various enhancement effects to expedite city building and developing progress.)

This indeed had additional properties. It made sense, then.

Also, the level of this city wasn’t low at all, reaching Level 7.

[Unlocked Blueprints: Blueprint for erecting the Hero Shrine, Blueprint for the construction of Smelting Furnace, Blueprint for producing Forge Bellows, Blueprint for crafting Beast Head Heavy Shield.]

Quite a few blueprints were acquired.

[Hero Shrine (Orange)]

[Category: Special Building]

[Ability: Resurrect]

[Resurrect: Traces of Living Creatures 1, Mithril 20, Faction Material 20, Warfire Coin 2000. (Conversion, crafting, summoning, and other hero units can’t be resurrected.)]

[Resurrect]: This ability can resurrect hero units of this faction. (Heroes cannot be resurrected if their souls are confined or destroyed.)

(Description: Here, you can resurrect your brave subordinates. However, even in this world, there are some ways to confine and shatter your soul. Yes…be wary of those people who meddle with the dead.)

[Building Requirement: Hardwood 5500, Stone Brick 5000, Iron 2200, Traces of Prayer 20, Traces of Divinity 10, Perfect Essence 30.]

With this building, heroes can be resurrected.

But Fang Hao knew well that this shrine could only resurrect heroes who had died in normal circumstances.

For instance, none of these beast clan heroes that had been killed and were under the control of Nelson had been successfully resurrected.

Nelson possessed this ability to prevent resurrection, and other top-ranked faction forces surely must possess similar abilities.

So, strength is the fundamental way to reduce casualties, not resurrection.

He continued to check the second building blueprint.

[Smelting Furnace]

[Category: Building]

[Product: Cast iron block, WhiteSteel ingot.]

(Description: Via heating, metallic processing products can be obtained, serving as materials used in crafting and alchemy.)
