Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 507: Chapter 424, Demon Manor_3

But they still occasionally looked back, as if worried someone was chasing them.

The Rattlesnake Mercenary Group, among the mercenaries in Lyss City, was a mid to low-tier team.

Besides the main team, which boasted a few skilled hands, the rest of the squads were made up of new recruits.

The person in front of them, even if he was part of the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group, would only belong to a sub-group.

“What are you doing here?”

Millie moved her horse forward a few steps and asked loudly.

She indeed had the demeanor of a leader.

The Rattlesnake mercenaries seemed confused by the situation before them.

The group was primarily humans, but the one questioning them was a girl with rabbit ears.

Especially her baby-faced appearance, coupled with the bandit-like manner, created a peculiar incongruity.

“Miss, we were on a task we had picked up from the hall and were ambushed along the way,” replied the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group’s captain.

They indeed looked like they were fleeing.

“Did you take up the Demon Manor task?” Fang Hao asked.

The Rattlesnakes hesitated, quickly realizing that these people were also here for the same task.

“Yes, yes!” the Rattlesnake’s captain hastily nodded.

“Tell me about the danger you encountered,” Fang Hao continued.

Given they had the same task, Fang Hao was curious about the enemy the others had encountered that scared them off.

They were thoroughly frightened but were able to escape unscathed, though they looked miserable.

“We were attacked by a demon while we were approaching. It killed our horses, and had been chasing us since then,” replied one of the Rattlesnakes.

Some of them even pointed to claw marks on their armors as proof of the assailant’s brutality.

“Did you reach the manor?”

“No, we were attacked on the way. To avoid casualties, I led the team to retreat,” the Rattlesnake’s captain explained.

“What did this demon look like?” Fang Hao asked after some thought.

“It had a pair of huge wings, and it’s very familiar with the terrain here,” replied the Rattlesnake’s captain.

Other squad members also continued to add to the description.

Some mentioned seeing horns on its head, while others recalled a long tail when the horses were swooped away.

In any case, from their disjointed descriptions, Fang realized that they hadn’t really seen the demon’s true appearance and had fled in panic after the attack.

“Any guess of its power level?” Fang Hao asked further.

“It’s a demon. It must at least possess the strength of a hero-tiered entity,” the Rattlesnake members hastily replied.

Fang nodded but didn’t ask further.

Clearly, these people were too preoccupied with escaping.

“Alright, you may leave.” Fang suggested.

“Oh, yes, thank you, sir.”

The Rattlesnake members nodded in agreement and left from the side of the team, quickly heading towards Lyss City.

Once certain they had truly left, the group set off again.

Continuing their journey towards the Demon Manor.

With Demitrija and Anjia present, their safety could be assured.

…

The group proceeded, entering a forest.

At the front of the forest, Fang Hao and others discovered traces of blood and signs of combat.

This must have been where the Rattlesnakes were attacked, they presumed.

However, they saw neither the weapons the attackers had discarded nor any dead horses.

Neither did they find any enemies nearby.

Beyond the dense forest, a mansion with walls covered with vibrant flowers appeared.

It was precisely the location of the Demon Manor on the map.

By cross-checking with the map, they could confirm that this was indeed the location of the Demon Manor.

The group approached, and just as Fang Hao was about to send out the Skeleton Sparrow to scout the mansion,

The heavy iron gate slowly opened, and a figure cloaked in a black robe stepped out.

“Mr. Fang Hao, what brings you here?”
