Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 458 - 405, The Squirming Piece of Meat (Seeking Subscriptions, Recommendations.)_1
Chapter 458: Chapter 405, The Squirming Piece of Meat (Seeking Subscriptions, Recommendations.)_1
Kaius relentlessly swung his fists, releasing bursts of energy.
Skeleton Warriors taken in the blast were instantly crushed to bits.
But every time a batch of the undead was eliminated, the cave was promptly refilled with more.
Endless Undead streamed into the cave, launching fearless attacks at the trolls.
Although it was a cave, it was artificially carved so that the distance between the stone walls on both sides was considerable.
It resembled a broad corridor more than a cave.
Kaius was ferocious and unstoppable, but the other trolls didn’t share his strength.
Soon enough,
the trolls defending the flanks began to suffer casualties.
The formation was broken.
Like a dam being released, Skeleton Warriors flooded into the ranks of the trolls, prompting an even fiercer slaughter.
“People of Thunder Snake, what are you waiting for?” Kaius shouted behind him.
As Kaius finished speaking, totem signals began to emerge from the trolls at the back of the line, illuminating with a faint blue glow.
It was as if many dazzling thunder snakes were circling their bodies.
These were the guardians of the Troll Temple, the Thunder Snake Tribe.
Despite the toughness of troll bodies, they lacked the ability to control elements.
However, the Thunder Snake Tribe broke this barrier. Through the faith in their totems, they sealed divine powers within their bodies, granting them temporary strength and control over thunder and lightning.
The Thunder Snake members,
were empowered by their activated totems; their bodies were surrounded by crackling electricity and their muscles swelled rapidly, filled with explosive power.
“Kaius, retreat! We can only hold out for 15 seconds,” said a member of the Thunder Snake Tribe.
Immediately afterwards, they charged forward, fighting alongside the Undead.
Boom!!
The leading Thunder Snake Troll punched the shield of a Skeleton Warrior.
Electric arcs flashed upon the shield.
Unleashing a massive force, he sent the Skeleton Warrior flying. The latter was reduced to a pile of bones as it hit the ground.
The same scenes occurred in every corner of the cave.
The Trolls surrounded by electric arcs displayed noticeably improved strength and speed.
Even more surprisingly, the effects of the lightning could chain and jump.
Simultaneously killing several skeletons.
The cave was filled with piles of bones and the ground was dyed red with blood.
Regrettably, the totem enhancement of the Thunder Snake Tribe could only last for 15 seconds each time.
When the effect of the lightning disappeared, they were instantly overwhelmed by the Undead army.
No killing was necessary, as they had already been trampled into meat paste.
…
Two hours.
Huff! Huff!
Kaius was panting heavily.
He was the only survivor in the cave.
Objects surrounded him, filled with bones and weapons.
Similarly, Kaius himself was severely injured.
His armour was in tatters, and he was soaked in blood, resembling a blood man.
If it weren’t for his strength as an orange-ranked hero and the robust body of a troll,
He would have died in the Undead’s siege.
“I know you’re outside. Shall we talk?” Kaius, repelling the attacking Undead, shouted towards the entrance of the cave.
The Undead’s calculated attack, with the coordination of aerial and ground forces,
There must be a commander.
Sure enough, after sending out the message, a deep and hoarse voice came back from outside the cave.
“Chief Kaius, at this point, what more do you have to say?”
Outside the cave, Black Thorn replied, but the attacking Undead didn’t pause and continued their relentless attack on Kaius.
“Can I see your leader? Perhaps we can change the current situation. Force is never the only solution.” Kaius said while fighting off his attackers.
“It’s strange to hear this coming from a troll,” retorted Black Thorn.
Kaius ignored the sarcasm in his tone and continued, “How about letting me see your leader? Maybe we can end this war.”
Black Thorn naturally understood Kaius’s implication.
No one wants to die. He wants to surrender and compromise.
But with the Bloodthroat Tribe gone and most of the trolls in the Bloody Mountains massacred,
How could such hatred be easily eradicated?
Moreover, Kaius did possess an immense strength. Never mind allowing him to meet Fang Hao,
Even their own heroes dared not confront Kaius directly and instead had been attempting to wear him down with their swarm tactics.
He had this clearly in mind.
Without much hesitation, Black Thorn replied, “Kaius, you can talk to me. I am fully responsible for the matters in the Bloody Mountains.”
“You…” Kaius immediately felt a sinking feeling. Without the possibility of negotiating with the enemy’s leader, his bargaining power would be significantly lower.
But his injuries didn’t allow him to stall any longer.
Facing the unending influx of undead, he grinded his teeth and said, “Don’t kill me. I’m an orange-ranked hero. As long as you bring me to your leader, you will earn merit.”
His identity as an orange-ranked hero was his only bargaining chip for survival.
In this land, orange-ranked heroes were the top recruits for all forces. No leader could ignore an orange-ranked hero who offered allegiance.
Unfortunately, the response he received was not what he hoped for. “Our lord is very busy and fears there’s no time to meet with Chief Kaius.”
As soon as Black Thorn finished speaking,
The type of soldiers storming the cave changed. Instead of the never-ending stream of Skeleton Warriors, they were now large Skeleton Trolls wielding massive shields.
