Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 487 - 417, Scavenging Centipede Beast_1
Chapter 487: Chapter 417, Scavenging Centipede Beast_1
9 o’clock in the morning.
The massive army marched into the Desolate Battlefield, leaving behind footprints on the deep-red land that resembled trails of blood.
They’d learned from the dwarfs that injuries could lead to toxic infections.
The number of living creatures in the army was reduced.
To lessen the chances of casualties.
Fang Hao’s body remained outside the battlefield at the fortress. He controlled the Demon Doll, rode the Bone Horse, and advanced with the troops.
After several days of diligent practice,
His ability to control dolls had become increasingly proficient. Even now, he could simultaneously control his own body and the doll without any distractions. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
However, controlling both to fight simultaneously was still quite challenging.
What he could do was to control one side finely and slow down on the other.
The troop advanced forward.
About 500 meters into their journey, they encountered something.
Monster-like rotten corpses crawled out of the ground, staring at the incoming Undead army in the distance.
Rotten Dwarf (Tier 4)
Rotten Giant Bear (Tier 3)
Rotten Warrior (Tier 5)
Rotten Horse (Tier 2)
Rotten ………
It seemed these were the rotten corpses referred to by the Dwarfs.
Those who were infected and didn’t receive treatment would eventually turn into these monsters.
However, these rotten monsters were vastly different from standard corpses.
Their bodies weren’t rigid in the least. On the contrary, they appeared more flexible than normal humans and possessed great strength.
Looking at these monsters, Fang Hao was reminded of the tainted soldiers he encountered in the Dragon Tomb.
They were strikingly similar to the monsters in front of him right now, and just as agile.
The cause of their corruption probably had something to do with the bodies of powerful creatures.
The number of the crawling tainted monsters kept increasing.
There were corrupted animals, but more of them were rotten soldiers clad in the remnants of rusted armor.
All sorts of creatures mixed together. They numbered nearly ten thousand and more kept appearing.
No wonder nobody has ever dared to enter here.
The army of the corrupted alone was more than a match for an ordinary force.
“Prepare to attack,” a hoarse voice issued from the mouth of the demon doll.
Or perhaps not from its mouth as its hollow lower jaw remained shut.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!
The shields of the skeleton warriors went up, forming a crisscrossed iron wall.
“Battle drum!”
Boom, boom, boom!!
The drum of the Undead resonated, a grey-white halo spreading out and enveloping the Undead army.
“First and second ranks, release the Lightning Strike!” Fang Hao continued to issue orders.
The signal officer spurred his horse and passed the orders in all directions.
In the first and second ranks were the skeleton warriors.
Right hands forming into lightning war spears that shimmered with blue thunderbolts.
Then, the warriors hurled the lightning strikes straight forward.
Boom, boom, boom… zzt!
The lightning spears bombed the camp of corrupted beings, causing large areas of confusion.
The current rapidly spread out, linking nearby rotten creatures together.
Their bodies trembled like they were being electrocuted. A large number of rotten creatures melted into the dark-red soil like butter under the thunderstrike.
After two rounds of lightning strikes, large areas of rotten anomalies continued their reckless charge.
The skeleton warriors and pikemen in the rear began to form lightning spears in their right hands.
They hurled the lightning spears, killing the charging rotten creatures as if they were crazed dogs.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!
Soon, the rotten creatures reached the front line.
Their bodies harshly collided against the iron wall of the warriors.
With their powerful charge force, many rotten creatures broke through the first line of the shield formation.
They rushed into the ranks.
But behind the first shield wall was another, and another, and even behind that was the spear wall.
The rotten creatures that had just rushed in were immediately hacked by weapons on all sides.
Turned into ashes.
At the same time, the skeleton archers, under the guidance of the heavy arrows, began a series of simultaneous shots.
The undead mages, their magic missiles formed a dark sky above the army, falling on the enemy in a parabolic curve,
causing massive damage.
The skeleton army held their ground without advancing, resisting the endlessly emerging rotten creatures.
The army was like an unyielding mountain, with only the signal officer constantly moving through the ranks, passing down one order after another.
The sound of battle grew louder and louder.
Corrupted creatures from the depths of the earth also started to crawl out.
By then, there weren’t any corrupted beasts anymore. All that emerged were differently equipped rotten human soldiers.
After they crawled out, they found some rotten weapons around, picked them up, and continued the attack.
The sound of the shield wall being struck echoed.
Corrupted creatures continuously found ways to break in, only to be eliminated.
Archers and mages in the rear continuously inputted output, the sky overcast with a gloomy dome as magic bullets and arrows soared through the air.
Three hours later, the battle gradually came to a close.
The deep-red ground was now covered in wounds and scars.
A vista of burnt, deep pits and scattered arrows filled the view.
This battle was nothing more than a war of attrition.
The corrupted creatures held an absolute advantage on this land.
If Fang Hao had brought a living creature army today.
Then the rule of infecting living creatures on the battlefield would have been extremely disadvantageous for the attacker.
