Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Opened the channel.

Indeed, there were cries of agony everywhere.

"Damn! These cursed creatures, why are they so fierce?"

"I've even used petroleum, poured it all over those guys, and it had no effect at all."

"With the strength and number of these enemies, even a counter-attack is tough; it's difficult even to protect our rear."

"From personal experiment, death only means exiting the instance; bringing the equipment into the city counts as a reward, it won't be wiped."

"Can resurrect, so why fear? Bring them in for some street fighting."

Those who were weaker had already been eliminated.

But most were still holding on.

After all, the enemy didn't show high intelligence and they had walls for defense.

Holding out for a few rounds was still no problem.

Phew!

A howling sound arose.

Spencer descended from the sky and stood in front of Fang Hao.

"My lord, in the direction the enemy is coming from, I've discovered a fortress-like building with defensive equipment; I didn't get close."

Fortress...

So, it's likely that in the other directions, similar buildings are spawning enemies.

It really is like a tower defense game, attack wave after wave.

"Yes, I understand," Fang Hao nodded in acknowledgment.

Whoosh!

The horn sounded again, and a large number of enemies appeared in the distance.

The number had already exceeded two thousand, among them was a scorpion-like giant crawling troop type.

Trolls were already quite large.

But compared to this scorpion troop type, they were still much smaller.

The troll army, along with others, was rapidly approaching.

"My lord, do you want to lead troops to capture that fortress?" Demitrija immediately asked.

The enemy's position was clear.

Whether to attack or not was up to what Fang Hao thought.

Fang Hao thought for a moment and then shook his head, "Wait a bit, let's clear these minor monsters first and gather some materials."

According to the transmigrator's understanding of tower defense modes, the enemy was probably being spawned from the fortress.

If the fortress were captured, even if one cleared the level, opportunities to obtain materials and equipment would be reduced.

So, Fang Hao thought it over and decided to maintain the status quo.

After all, the enemy couldn't really threaten them, gathering more materials was still a good choice.

Especially the "Forgotten Soul", which was a rare material.

It wasn't available outside at all.

Whether they could form a ten thousand-man hero army depended on how many items they dropped this time.

Secondly, the dropped equipment was also quite good.

All were purple equipment, very valuable.

In the midst of their conversation,

The enemies had already approached the city area.

In the front row, densely packed, were the thousand-tier-ten 'Divine Realm Guards', and behind them were 'Divine Realm Mages' also of tier ten, holding magic wands.

What was most noteworthy was the few huge scorpion-shaped monsters interspersed in the middle of the troops.

In appearance similar to scorpions, crawling on the ground they were over three meters tall.

Their legs underneath were like sharp short swords, the cold light emitted could easily pierce the rocky ground, leaving neatly cut tiny holes.

Scales protruded from their backs, and their scorpion tails hung inverted, like long spears.

Their faces and eyes were already decayed and hollow, and even the abdomen under the hard shell exposed internal organs.

It looked like they had rotted to just a shell.

"Rock Crawler (Tier Ten Troop Type)"

Tier ten troop type!

It startled me, thought it was some hero-level monster.

"Fire the cannons and get the Bone Dragon out, quickly clean them up."

Boom, boom, boom!

The cannons fired, blasting the attacking enemy.

The Bone Dragon also swept through the crowd from the sky, its Dragon Breath sweeping back and forth.

Turned the already dead enemies into piles of shredded flesh and mud.

The scene once again turned into a massacre.

The seemingly fierce enemies had no chance to approach, being turned back into corpses under various attacks.

Rotting into a dark red sludge.

At this moment, a 'Rock Crawler' took advantage of the chaos and quickly charged to the base of the wall.

Ding!

A crisp sound.

Its sharply sword-like legs directly penetrated the iron-soaked wall.

Ding ding ding!

With each sound, it began to climb upwards along the route.

"Holy shit, it climbs walls."

So, this kind of troop could climb walls, going directly up vertically.

And from this angle, cannons, rifles, even people on the wall, none had a good way to deal with it.

Fang Hao gestured with his hand, and several Wood Sprites appeared beside him.

"Grab it!" he pointed downwards.

The Wood Sprites' arms extended like vines along the wall, enveloping the scorpion, and pulled it up.

Demitrija swiftly swung his sword, severing the head and broken limbs that were outside the vines.

The vines loosened, and the scorpion fell off the wall.

Crashing into a pile of flesh.

When the cannons and rifles ceased firing, and the Bone Dragon returned,

It also marked the end of the battle.

Fang Hao immediately ordered a cleanup of the battlefield.

Besides the previously dropped items and materials, they found two special items.

"Stimulating Crystal (Arthropod)"

"Category: Bloodline Crystal"

"Effect: Stimulates the bloodline energy of arthropod troop types."

(Description: A crystal stored with special energy, has a chance to enhance the bloodline of arthropod units.)

These are items dropped by the 'Rock Crawler'.

After the corpse disappeared, these crystals appeared in the mud.

Thumb-sized, dark purple glittering Crystal Stone.

Slightly shaking, there seemed to be liquid swirling inside.

According to the description, it's useful for arthropod troop types.

The only arthropod troop in the territory is from the Webweaver camp's Spiderlings.

Spiderling Hero - Domina, loyalty reached 98 points.

The last two points, no matter how I spanked, couldn't be improved.

Even though Domina was still very keen on this entertainment.

This crystal, however, could be given to her.

To raise the last two points.

Directly reaching one hundred points.

Setting aside the spoils of war.

Fang Hao continued to wait for the next attack.

…

The fourth wave of attacks had the same three types of enemies, only in greater numbers.

In the fifth wave of attack, a hero leading the enemies emerged, a Level 8 blue Troll hero clad in heavy armor, wielding a Giant Sword, and riding a mount that resembled a dinosaur.

He looked extraordinarily mighty and imposing.

With a thunderous roar that shook the heavens, he led an army in a charge.

However, being too conspicuous, he caught the attention of the Skeleton Engineers above.

Numerous gun barrels aimed at him, and under two rounds of bombardment, as well as a collective beating from dozens of Bone Dragons.

He was the first to be blasted into pieces, and even the corpse of his mount turned into rotting sludge.

Merging into the dark red earth on the ground.

After clearing out this batch of enemies.

Fang Hao again opened the Book of Lords to check the regional channel.

"Damn, all my troops are wiped out, now I have to repair the walls when I get back."

"This stupid mission wiped out all the troops I had accumulated."

"I'm lucky I relocated all the farmers beforehand, or they'd have perished."

"Buying hero resurrection materials, PM if interested."

"This mission definitely has issues, these enemies are way beyond most people's capabilities, I suspect it was a system mission deliberately issued to drain the military forces accumulated over time."

"That makes sense…"

After five waves of attacks, the content of the chat in the channel had changed.

Few were discussing the battle.

Most were complaining that the mission was beyond a transmigrator's ability, and others were looking to buy resurrection materials.

Some even guessed it was intentional by the system.

After all, there had been no system missions for a long time, and each transmigrator had accumulated some military forces.

Most of these forces fell in this mission.

Even if they didn't die, they were left facing a scarcity of troops upon return.

Bandits, robbers, and natives would all pose a danger to the transmigrators.

…

Fang Hao watched for a while.

But the next wave of enemies was slow to arrive.

Fang Hao glanced at the time, and it was exactly noon.

It had been a long battle.

Fang Hao took out some prepared food to distribute to the living creatures in the city.

Besides, he used this time to replenish his strength.

Who knew how long this mission would last!

Everyone quickly grabbed something to eat.

Demitrija then came back over.

"My lord, we found these two items at the location where the enemy leader died,"

she said, handing over two items.

[Gravity Greatsword (Orange)][Rock Armor Earth Dragon Shepherd's Flute].

An orange weapon?

At the sight of the rewards, Fang Hao was momentarily startled.

The general of the Divine Realm was impressive.

A small team leader in blue, yet equipped with an orange Giant Sword.

Out there, it's a treasure of a family or a power.

Rich and ostentatious.

[Gravity Greatsword (Orange)]

[Type: Giant Sword]

[Damage: Tier 5 Damage]

[Effect: Gravity Slash.]

[Gravity Slash: The blade contains Earth Elemental Gravity. When swung, it releases intense gravity along the path of the swing, imparting significant pressure on enemies and objects.]

(Description: A standardized heavy sword developed for the royal guards' leadership.)

Gravity Slash?

Fang Hao picked up the sword and swung it towards a wooden box beside him.

Whoo—!

As the blade descended, a tremendous pressure had already manifested.

Crack—Boom!

The wooden box shattered, immediately being crushed into splinters.

The blade itself fell afterward, cleaving through the air.

Ah, so that's what gravity means.

Indeed a fine weapon.

He set the heavy sword aside.

"What about the armor?" Fang Hao continued.

"The armor is of the same type as the common enemies' armor, and it was severely damaged in the dense bombardment, so we didn't bring it over," Demitrija said.

A bombardment like that spares no equipment.

Fang Hao nodded, continuing to check the next item.

[Rock Armor Earth Dragon Shepherd's Flute]

[Type: Shepherd's Flute]

(Description: The first time you blow it, a Rock Armor Earth Dragon will appear at your side. (First blow, make sure there is accessible space for the Earth Dragon.)

The Earth Dragon was the mount we saw.

Large and formidable, but rather too big for human stature.

But definitely impressive, will summon it once back.

These few waves of enemies also indicated something.

Their attributes were all related to Earth Elemental Magic, whether it's in the equipment name, the monsters' attributes.

Even that great sword's skill effect felt like Earth Elemental Magic.

The enemy must be an Earth Elemental Magic-using Troll Tribe.

Just then, the system alert rang again.

[Phase One Mission, Defense of the Fortress completed.]

[Phase Two Mission, Battle for Domination begins.]

[Trade channel temporarily opened, trade shop temporarily established, countdown: 59 minutes 57 seconds…]

[Mission Description: You have attracted the attention of stronger enemies, who gaze intently at your fortress, speculating about your intentions, and soon they will gather more forces to attack your fortress.]

[You can choose to continue to hold your ground or choose to counterattack to uncover the secrets of the adversary.]

[Good luck….]
