Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 481 - 414, Heading to the Desolate Battlefield_2
Chapter 481: Chapter 414, Heading to the Desolate Battlefield_2
The pig-headed human shouted loudly two or three times before the people on the wall understood the meaning in his words.
Dong Jiayue stood on the city wall and asked the pig-headed human below: “Are you Fang Hao’s army?”
Fang Hao had mentioned to her that he would send an army, which she would receive and arrange to be stationed in a city.
The sight of the undead army in front of her was so terrifying that she could not ascertain if it was Fang Hao’s team.
“Yes, we are Lord’s army, may Miss Dong Jiayue come with me to meet Lord Black Sword,” the pig-headed human continued to shout loudly.
The battle at the Bloody Mountain Range was over.
Black Thorn, as the commanding officer, stayed at the North Town.
This time, in the operation to conquer the Desolate Battlefield, Black Sword acted as the general while the two heroes, Giant Wall and Heavy Arrow, acted as deputy generals.
Of course, once the march was over and barring any special circumstances, Fang Hao would come too.
He wanted to see if this Desolate Battlefield was as terrifying as described.
“Oh, alright. I’m leaving now.” She quickly descended the city wall, and after opening the city gate, she walked out.
The pig-headed human led her through the many skeleton troops, to the middle of the formation.
There, she saw a skeleton hero, covered in metallic armor and with a dark iron sword at his waist.
“Lord Black Sword, I’ve brought Miss Dong Jiayue,” the pig-headed human reported.
“Hmm, you may step down,” Black Sword said.
The pig-headed human withdrew.
After Dong Jiayue looked over Black Sword’s attire and the rank of a hero, she said, “Lord Black Sword!”
“Hmm, Miss Dong Jiayue, have you prepared the city for our army to station in?” Black Sword asked calmly, without exchanging any pleasantries with Dong Jiayue.
“It is ready.”
After receiving instructions from Fang Hao, Dong Jiayue had already prepared the city for lodging.
“Then we will trouble you, Miss Dong Jiayue, to lead us.”
“Okay.”
The undead army began to move westward.
In the end, they arrived at the city Dong Jiayue had freed up for them.
Dong Jiayue was managing four cities, and the one in front of her was the closest to the Desolate Battlefield.
The original residents of the city were already evacuated.
The city was completely given up to the undead army to station in, as a temporary base before heading to the Desolate Battlefield.
Upon arrival in the city…
The undead began to take up defensive positions, orderly bringing the city under their control.
“Miss Dong Jiayue,” Black Sword said.
“Lord Black Sword, please speak, ” Dong Jiayue replied, having recovered from her initial shock by now.
Knowing that these were Fang Hao’s heroes and troops, she knew they wouldn’t harm her.
“How many troops do you have?” Black Sword asked bluntly.
Dong Jiayue was startled, wondering if her troops were also being asked to join in the fight.
But then she realized it was unlikely. The number of undead troops was probably over one million already.
Her few troops wouldn’t make any difference at all.
After a quick mental tally of her forces, she gave an honest answer. “I have 2000.”
She had Soul Crystals in her hand, but she had all along been focusing more on developing agriculture, rather than military growth.
She’d built many farms and quarries.
But she hadn’t recruited many combat troops.
She had the blueprint for a Heavy Infantry Training Camp from Fang Hao.
It was only when she found out that the Tianpeng Alliance was going to attack her that she built it, expanding her forces to 2000.
Otherwise, she usually had just over 1000, responsible for the safety around the city.
The most common job was to drive away and hunt wild beasts.
“Good, transfer a thousand of them over first. I’ll arrange for them to serve as messengers and logistic personnel,” Black Sword instructed.
“Oh, alright,” Dong Jiayue nodded in agreement.
After chatting with Black Sword for a while, Dong Jiayue returned to her own city.
She started to prepare the manpower and supplies required by Black Sword.
This was her first time participating in a battle on such a large scale.
She was a little excited after the initial nervousness.
…
The next day at dawn, Fang Hao got up early, and after washing and eating…
Served by Eira, he put on his armor and equipment.
Yesterday afternoon, he’d received a message from Dong Jiayue that Black Sword’s army had arrived and they could set off for the Desolate Battlefield anytime.
So, first thing this morning, Fang Hao began his preparations, intending to journey to the Desolate Land as well.
With his Demon Teleportation ability, he directly avoided the time consumed on the road.
If something happens in the fiefdom, I can be teleported back immediately.
“Master Nelson should be in seclusion for a few days, we will need you to look after the fiefdom in his absence,” Fang Hao instructed Eira.
“Hmm, will Master be returning home tonight?” Eira asked softly.
“If ever there are any special circumstances, I will spend the night here.”
Eira instantly beamed with delight, “I shall prepare a new dish for you tonight, Master.”
“Alright.” Fang Hao gave a sweet pat on her head, then left the City Lord’s residence.
Outside the gate, Demitrija and Anjia, accompanied by twenty Nisbits, awaited Fang Hao’s presence.
Given that the Desolate Battlefield is perilous, they naturally had to make additional preparations.
Everyone was fully equipped and prepared.
Fang Hao didn’t bother with small talk, he directly summoned the Demon Doll and initiated Demon Teleportation.
The teleportation gate appeared instantaneously, lasting merely 10 seconds, Fang Hao stepped in without hesitation.
As their vision returned, they found themselves amidst the city where the ‘Black Thorn’ stay.
The city was exceptionally bustling.
Hundreds of soldiers were busy loading arrows and other resources onto carts under the command of specific instructions.
Though Undeads formed the core strength of the army, there were also a considerable number of humans and orcs soldiers assisting.
As Fang Hao too was going to embark on the journey, adequate food and other essential items, including tents, were prepared beforehand.
Seeing Fang Hao and the others approaching,
Black Thorn and Dong Jiayue swiftly emerged from the City Lord’s Mansion.
“City Lord, Miss Anjia, Master Demitrija.”
The Skeleton Hero and a few Orc Captains paid their respects.
Dong Jiayue also curtseyed while curiously inspecting the beast-eared young girl standing beside Fang Hao.
She had never visited Fang Hao’s fiefdom and admittedly didn’t recognize Anjia.
I see another hero has emerged.
How many heroes are there around Brother Hao? I’ve already seen five – one Orange and four Blue.
“How are the preparations coming along?” Fang Hao casually inquired.
“Everything is prepared; we can depart at any moment.” Black Thorn confirmed.
“Have the routes ahead been scouted clearly?”
“Yesterday, several scouts were deployed to make sure of that. We have a clear route now,” he informed right away.
“Good, let’s prepare and set off.”
“Yes, Master.”
Black Thorn complied, transmitting the orders down the line.
In no time, the army gradually began moving, following the pre-decided route leading towards the Desolate Battlefield.
Fang Hao sat inside the coach, following the troupe at a leisurely pace.
He held a book of magic in his hands and was reading it attentively.
“Master, there’s a small human city ahead.” A Scout rode up to the coach, inquiring in low tones.
Fang Hao parted the coach curtain and gaze into the distance.
It was a city of a transmigrator.
Given the size of the city wall, it appeared to be a Level-5 city.
“As long as they do not attack our troops, we shall ignore them and simply pass by,” Fang Hao declared softly.
“Yes, Master.” The scout responded, and rapidly darted away.
…
On the way, the troupe came across a Level-5 transmigrator’s city.
The City Lord, still not out of his slumber, was jolted awake by an assistant who hurriedly stormed into the room.
Startled, the City Lord glanced at his underling, as he simultaneously gathered his undergarments to cover his privates, he berated: “Have you gone crazy? Why the sudden intrusion?”
The assistant, oblivious to his condition, spoke up in terror: “My Lord! Disaster! A massive troop of Undeads is approaching our city.”
“What? Are you out of your mind?”
“My Lord, you should have a look. We ought to flee if things worsen.”
The assistant lunged at the City Lord, dragged him out of the room, and rushed towards the city wall.
Taken by surprise, the City Lord stumbled along, hurriedly pulling up his Spongebob Squarepants underpants.
As he barely made it up the stairs of the city wall, he immediately sensed the seriousness of the situation.
Several of his soldiers had already collapsed due to sheer panic.
He could feel the rhythmic vibrations emerging from the ground.
There was some gigantic body approaching from the distance.
Without any further delays, he hastily ascended the city wall and cast his glance into the distance.
At a single glimpse, his face turned deathly pale, and his legs started to wobble.
Undeads, an endless stream of Undeads.
Transformed into an extensive, undulating white serpent, they were steadily moving closer this way.
“How… how is this possible… where did all these multiple Undead come from?”
