Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 283: Chapter 277, Clues of the Body 1

Translator: 549690339??????? ⁷—

Atop the city gate.

Fang Hao and Demitrija were looking at an undead army of 800,000 outside the city.

The macabre skeletal troops stretched as far as the eye could see.

The orcs who were once full of confidence and waiting to be rewarded for their achievements now stood with soft legs, unable to hold themselves up.

Only with great effort, dragging and pulling, were they able to barely stand in their small teams under their charge.

“My lord, there are not enough orcs,” Demitrija said.

Hmm, in a moment, I’ll have the bone dragon bring over more manpower” Fang Hao too noticed the lack of orcs.

After deliberating for a while, they both descended the city wall.

Upon reaching the vast open space outside the city, Fang Hao began to create equipment for the soldiers.

[One hundred-fold amplification triggered, acquired Stormfine Iron Open Helmet 4.04.000.]

[One hundred-fold amplification triggered, acquired Military War Spear 101000.]

[One hundred-fold amplification triggered, acquired Erland Guardian Thick Leather Armor 202000.]

[One hundred-fold amplification triggered, acquired High-speed Hardwood Shortbow 20200.]

[…, acquired Whitesteel Two-handed Heavy Sword 20200.]

[…, …Wood Root Magic Wand….]

[….]

Under the boost of hundred-fold amplification, pieces of equipment piled up on the surrounding open space.

The bone dragon would then distribute them to designated soldier types for equipping.

Through this equipment production process, Fang Hao noticed a problem.

The equipment of melee troops and long-range troops were becoming increasingly unequal.

Melee troop’s equipment had basically been upgraded to blue quality throughout.

Their offense and defense had reached Tier 3.

However, the equipment for long-range troops were relatively behind.

Apart from the High-speed Hardwood Shortbow, the Erland Guardian thick leather armor set and the undead mage’s Wood Root Magic Wand and robe were still of green quality.

Their offense and defense ratings were only of Tier 2.

The ranged troops, in every battle, exerted a high combat power.

It seems Fang Hao would need to gradually replace the equipment of ranged troops next, so as not to allow a huge disparity in the quality between melee and ranged equipment.

They were kept busy until dusk.

The army of more than 800,000 only gradually finished the equipment exchange by then.

Fang Hao had the bone dragons shuttle back and forth several times, bringing in a large number of orcs.

Demitrija started the troop drill.

After watching for a while, Fang Hao felt there was nothing for him to do and silently left.

Back at the Lord’s Mansion.

Eira was preparing dinner.

Anjia was following Eira around, telling stories she had heard from some unknown source.

Just as they were about to sit down, a rushing hoofbeat sound was heard from outside the door.

A heavy sword soldier dismounted and deposited a body with a sack covering its head outside the door.

“My Lord, a corpse was sent over from Pruell City. They claimed it to be Blood Clan Fielding,” The heavy sword soldier saluted and said loudly.

Blood Clan Fielding, convicted for the assassination attempt on a human city lord, had been hung exposed to the elements for three days.

Under the sun’s exposure, his body had dried up.

If Fang Hao did not need it, Tavek would directly have given the order to cremate the corpse to avoid the back-and-forth transport of it.

What s the situation at Pruell City?” Fang Hao continued to ask.

The heavy sword soldier answered, “Sir Tavek says all is going smoothly.

Cyril’s death has not caused any upheaval in the city.”

Hmm.” Fang Hao nodded, “That’s fine, you may return. I will have someone handle the corpse.”

‘Yes, my Lord.” The heavy sword soldier mounted his horse once more and left the territory.

The corpse of Fielding was still left outside the door.

Passing maidservants carefully avoided it.

Fang Hao was just about to order someone to throw the corpse into the conversion field when he came up with a new plan.

After dinner.

A bone dragon landed in front of the Lord’s Mansion, and Black Thorn dismounted.

“Lord.”

“Yes, I’ve acquired a corpse of a Blood Clan member. I need you to help me interrogate him and glean some useful information,” Fang Hao said.

“I am at your service.”

The two men proceeded to the open land where the corpse was laid.

Black Thorn began drawing array markings and Fang Hao had someone bring two cattle.

As the blood flowed along the array and collected in the body.

Fielding, who had been dead for several days, sat up momentarily, his eyes hollow.

“Sir, please begin your questioning,” Black Thorn said.

Fang Hao didn’t hesitate, asking directly, “Fielding, how many troops are there in Crescent Heights?”

Fielding, his face charred, replied, “Around 60,000. Crescent Heights hasn’t done a troop count in a long time, so I don’t have exact figures.”

“What level of power has the Red Duke reached?”

“I don’t know.”

“Has he broken through to the Dark Gold level?”

“No.”

At this point, Black Thorn gave Fang Hao a look.

Signaling to Fang Hao that Fielding’s condition could only answer one last question.

Where did the Red Duke hide his lover’s body when he was still a human Citv

Lord?”

Fielding’s swollen body faltered slightly, seemingly surprised that Fang Hao would ask this question.

But he still answered without hesitation.

“At the bottom of Lake Tanho in Crescent Heights.”

“Point out the location to me.”

Just as Fang Hao opened the Book of Lords, Fielding’s body burst with a bang.

Blood and flesh scattered everywhere.

Sir, have you obtained the information you wanted?” Black Thorn asked.

Fang Hao closed the Book of Lords, “Yes, Fielding held a high position in

Crescent Heights, the information is quite useful.”

This inquiry of the corpse made the previously uncertain information much more concrete.

The cavalry force stands at around 60,000.

No specific information had been obtained about the Red Duke’s tier.

But he was at Tier 8 five years ago, and he still hasn’t reached the Dark Gold level now, so he’s probably at Tier 9 or 10.

There isn’t much difference from Demitrija’s Orange Tier 8.

Most importantly, Fang Hao obtained the final clue about the location of the beating heart’s last body part.

At the bottom of Lake Tanho in Crescent Heights.

Although he didn’t know the exact location of Lake Tanho, with its name and location in Crescent Heights, he would have no trouble finding it.

“Sir, are you planning to go to war with the Blood Clan?” asked Black Thorn.

When the Bone Dragon arrived, Black Thorn saw the newly assembled army awaiting orders outside the city.

In conjunction with the recent interrogation of the Blood Clan, it could be inferred that a war was imminent with the Blood Clan.

“Yes, this time we will take the initiative to attack Crescent Heights. We need to tighten our defense on the northern fortress, in order to prevent the trolls from taking advantage of the situation,” said Fang Hao.

Black Thorn was a skeleton hero created by him.

With 100% loyalty, Fang Hao wasn’t afraid of him leaking the next plan.

On the contrary, Black Thorn brought up an important point which reminded

Fang Hao of the Troll fortress in the north.

He must increase the defense to prevent any problems during this time.

Sir, rest assured, I’ll arrange everything as soon as I return,” said Black

Thorn, nodding solemnly.

“Good, thank you for your hard work, Black Thorn.”

“It’s my duty, sir.”

Afterwards, Black Thorn had nothing else to do. After saluting, he mounted the

Bone Dragon and flew back to his base at the Bloody Fortress.

After dismissing Black Thorn, Fang Hao called for Demitrija and informed him

of the information obtained from the interrogation.

It would help him get prepared.

After handling everything, it was already late at night.

Fang Hao returned to his room and immediately fell asleep.

Meanwhile…

Crescent Heights, Blood Clan Castle.

The Red Duke’s face was full of rage, fuming with anger.

“Where is he? Where is Fielding?” The Red Duke roared, like a bloodthirsty, mad beast.

Traveling from Crescent Heights to Pruell City on a known route takes two days.

According to the plan, three days ago a group of residents from Pruell City should have arrived in Crescent Heights to serve as blood slaves.

But until now, not only the blood slaves had not arrived, but even Fielding had gone missing.

Even though the Red Duke did not want to think about it, he knew that something must have gone wrong.

Most likely, something bad had happened to Fielding.
