Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 347 - 340, Freeze_2
Chapter 347: Chapter 340, Freeze_2
The identities of these people were not difficult to guess.
Their armor and attire matched those of the people who ambushed them just moments ago.
Them gathering here now was an obvious sign of their intentions.
They wanted to stop them from crossing the stone bridge.
“Ask about the situation!” Hoyle signaled to a soldier at his side.
Understanding, the soldier stepped forward and shouted, “We are a merchant caravan on the way to Nesborg, please let us pass.”
A man came out from the back of the group and shouted back, “Stop playing dumb, you’re not crossing this bridge.”
Hoyle stopped the soldier from continuing the conversation.
He came to Mullen and said, “Young Master Mullen, it seems the nobles of Nesborg are not very welcoming towards us. There will be a battle on the bridge. Be careful”.
Mullen’s gaze held more resolve than before.
“Commander Hoyle, I’ll be careful,” he replied.
Just like Fang Hao said, they had already come this far.
There was no turning back for him.
Either he entered Nesborg and became its city lord, or he died here.
Hoyle nodded, “Line up!”
The soldiers began to organise, preparing to attack the stone bridge.
The fighters raised their shields, forming an impenetrable wall of steel.
Both sides lacked in long-range attacks, but the enemy still had the upper hand in numbers.
One mistake could lead to their defeat in battle.
“Advance!” Hoyle ordered.
The convoy formed a tidy square, moving forward steadily and in unison.
In front of them was a well-fortified wooden roadblock, behind it, more enemies.
The convoy continued to advance, reducing the gap between them to 5 meters.
Fang Hao stood in the third row, flanked by Zhang Bin and Dong Jiayue.
His Starfire Wand glowed with a light yellow aura.
“Scatter!” Fang Hao barked.
The soldiers in the front two rows quickly retreated to the sides, leaving a gap of more than two meters in the middle.
At the same time, Fang Hao’s magic conjured the Glay Rolling Stone.
A boulder two meters in diameter appeared in the middle.
Fang Hao pointed his wand forward, and the Glay Rolling Stone sped towards the enemy line.
Thump, thump, thump!
The roadblocks along the way were crushed one by one, and the enemy formation was instantly shattered under the impact of the rolling stone.
The enemy’s formation was crushed, and many were thrown off their feet, causing many casualties.
“Charge! Break through their lines,” Hoyle bellowed.
The soldiers charged forward with their shields up, slamming into the enemy lines. They swung their weapons fiercely at the enemy.
The skirmish lasted for more than twenty minutes before it finally began to wind down.
The stone bridge was piled high with bodies, the ground turned red with blood.
Blood seeped through the cracks in the bridge, dribbling into the river.
[Stage Reward: Human Clan Influence +100, Healing Potion 3, Magic Potion 1.]
[Special Team Reward: Choose One.]
[Fire Protection Potion] [Enlightening Potion] [Thunderburst Battle Axe (Blue)].
(Selection countdown: 59… 58….)
The stage reward appeared.
[Fire Protection Potion]
[Category: Potion]
[Effect: Fire resistance +10% (Duration 15 seconds).]
(Description: A potion crafted by the Alchemist, consumption can enhance resistance to fire elemental.)
This was the first time Fang Hao had seen the Fire Protection Potion.
Although it boosted fire resistance, it came with a time limit making it a consumable item.
Given the potion’s properties, it wasn’t much help to Fang Hao. If any real danger were to come,
he would rather rely on his Skeleton Warriors than risk using this kind of resistance-boosting potion.
Yet he feared that there might be more to the plot.
It might be possible that Mullen would need to use the potion.
“Boss, which one should we pick?” Zhang Bin asked as he approached.
“Pick the first one, just in case there’s a special plot twist later,” Fang Hao replied.
“Okay.” Zhang Bin immediately agreed, choosing the first option.
The Fire Protection Potion appeared in his hand and was handed over to Fang Hao.
Fang Hao accepted the potion right away.
After a brief rest, the team hit the road again.
Who knows what the time is now?
Drizzle started to fall from the sky.
In front of them stood the towering wall of Nesborg City.
The soldiers on the city wall wore armor similar to the enemies they encountered on the way.
Now, Mullen had reached Nesburg.
The people in the city also lost their best chance to kill Mullen.
The death of the lord’s son at the hands of bandits on the road and in the city are two different matters.
No one dares to lay a hand on Mullen in full view of the public.
If Mullen dies in the city, all the nobles of the city will be implicated.
Hoyle stepped forward and showed his identity to the guards.
This severely wounded team slowly entered the city.
Countless eyes were fixed on Mullen.
The latter maintained his composure, his body already soaked with sweat.
“I always feel like their gaze at me is not friendly,” Mullen said in a suppressed voice to the side.
Fang Hao certainly noticed those looks.
Since Mullen had already entered the city, it also means that these people didn’t have the courage to act immediately.
Of course, it doesn’t rule out the possibility that they will use other means.
“It’s normal for the city’s nobles to be unwelcoming to you, but you should also be careful of those who are unusually kind,” Fang Hao said softly.
“Okay, I will.”
The team went straight to the city lord’s mansion.
Hoyle arranged for the guards and took over the defense of the city lord’s mansion.
When Mullen sat on the city lord’s throne, the three of them received a system prompt.
[Historical Event: Battle of Nesburg completed.]
[Reward Distribution: Freeze Skill Scroll, Mental Enhancement Potion,
Forgotten Scholar’s Robe (Blue), Storm Wand (Blue).]
According to the experience from last time.
The appearance of the system prompt means that the task has been completed.
[Return countdown, 3, 2,1.]
Fang Hao nodded at Mullen on the throne.
The light appeared again, enveloping the figures of the three of them. The next second, they disappeared on the spot.
When Fang Hao opened his eyes again, he was back in his own territory.
Eira heard the noise and came out of the City Lord Mansion, “Master, you’re back, do you need me to prepare lunch?”
“Yes, please prepare it.”
The time in the trial space does not sync with this one.
He looked at his watch, it was one forty in the afternoon.
While Eira went to prepare lunch, Fang Hao began to check his rewards. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

[Do you want to learn the Skill: Freeze?]
Yes.
The scroll turned into a ray of light and went straight into Fang Hao’s body.
[Freeze]
[Type: Water Magic]
[Level: Tier 3 Magic]
[Ability: Condenses water elemental magic to attack enemies in a small range, causing an extra 50% freeze damage, and entering a frozen state. ]
After reading the skill introduction, Fang Hao was slightly pleased.
Finally, he had a second attack skill.
Not only does it provide control, it also deals freeze damage, which can greatly enhance his own combat strength and self-defense ability.
Even if he can’t beat the opponent, freezing them and running away is a good method.
Fang Hao raised his hand, cast [Freeze] on a passing skeleton warrior.
A cold breath ran along his palm, hitting the target skeleton.
The next second, the skeleton warrior and the leather in his arms were instantly wrapped in ice, frozen in place.
About three seconds later.
The ice shattered, the skeleton warrior stood with his knight sword, searching for his target in confusion.
“I slipped, there’s no enemy, go back to work.” Fang Hao said.
The skeleton warrior put away his sword, picked up the fallen leather and carried on delivering it to the warehouse.
After testing the Freeze skill, Fang Hao felt rather satisfied.
He continued to check the remaining three rewards.
[The Forgotten Scholar’s Robe (Blue)]
[Type: Armor]
[Defense: Level 1 Defense]
[Effect: Magic Condensation +2%, Magic Attack +2%.]
(Description: An old-style mage’s robe. Although the style is a bit outdated, the quality is still good.)
The blue mage robe is perfectly suited for his own use.
What a shame it’s not a blueprint, otherwise he could equip the undead mage group.
[Storm Wand (Blue)]
[Type: Wand]
[Damage: Tier 3 Damage]
[Effect: Air Magic Condensation +5%.]
(Description: Wand born in the storm.)
He was even awarded a blue-quality wand..
