Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 1282 -869, Dark Elf Sorcerer

Amanda listened to the story about ‘Cleolando’.

She glanced at Fang Hao.

Last time he provoked the Dragon Clan, and now he’s gotten into a conflict with the Undead again.

It’s as if every moment, he’s looking for trouble.

After pondering for a while, Amanda softly said: “If you defend this city, what kind of development can you achieve?”

This question made ‘Cleolando’ immediately calm down.

To the entire Undead faction, her identity is that of a runaway slave.

Even if she holds onto the city, what then?

In the future, she would probably face the Undead Desert’s relentless attacks.

Let alone development, such strain could wear her down to death.

“This, … I, that, but…” Cleolando struggled to articulate a full sentence for a long time.

In reality, Fang Hao understood what she was trying to say.

The thoughts of transmigrators are very similar.

What should be done about the city? The citizens?

If ‘Cleolando’ wasn’t doing well, giving up wouldn’t be too hard.

But she was doing quite well, known among the ranks of transmigrators.

Truly abandoning the city would not be easy for anyone.

Amanda gave her a look and continued: “You want Fang Hao to help you fight, but do you understand what declaring war with the Undead Desert means? Even with equal strength, it would drag down the entire rear.”

This statement was not only for ‘Cleolando’, but also for Fang Hao to hear.

If a conflict with the Undead Desert was unavoidable, so be it.

But to start a war with a top power for an outsider was not a wise choice.

Nor was it something a leader should do.

Fang Hao did not say much else.

He did not wish to see ‘Cleolando’ die, nor did he think it wise to wage a war with the Undead Desert.

The desert lacked resources, and really, it was so sparsely populated that trying to conquer the entire desert by marching could break anyone’s legs.

Unless they launched a direct attack on the Undead’s main city, which also posed great danger.

“Cleolando, how about first moving all your people back tomorrow? I will arrange for you a suitable city in my territory to continue developing. Later, when the opportunity arises, we can think about waging war with the desert Undead,” Fang Hao said after some thought.

Cleolando had no words to refute.

She could only nod, “Alright, I will follow Mr. Fang Hao’s plan.”

“Good, go rest. First thing tomorrow morning, go back to your territory and bring the people here.”

“Okay!”

Once the discussion was over, Gray Bear led her out.

…

The hall was once again left with only Fang Hao and Amanda.

They did not continue talking about the Undead Desert.

Fang Hao asked, “How is it, what does the new heart feel like?”

“When I came out, I tried it. There has been some improvement in my abilities, and I’ve also gained a kind of shield ability that can resist some damage,” Amanda said straight-backed and nonchalantly.

The abilities she mentioned likely referred to the skills attached to the heart.

He remembered seeing the attributes of the heart at the beginning.

There was an ability that added a shield.

That should be the shield she was talking about.

“As long as it’s effective,” Fang Hao picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Amanda clenched the scepter in her hand and continued, “Leave that female lord to me.”

Putting down the cup, Fang Hao looked at her curiously, “You mean ‘Cleolando’?”

“Yes, the one who wanted to fight the Undead Desert just now.”

“You’re interested in her?”

“She no longer has a territory, and it just so happens she could help me,” Amanda continued.

“She doesn’t want to become Undead,” Fang Hao reminded her.

Amanda glanced at him, “I won’t make her an Undead. I will give her a city near the Holy Gold City.”

Fang Hao thought for a moment.

Cleolando’s lands were mixed habitation of Undead and living creatures.

It was indeed suitable for her to settle in Anglina.

So he simply agreed, “Alright, nurture her a bit.”

“Send her over to me tomorrow.”

After chatting for a while, Amanda stood up to leave.

She headed to the Teleportation Plaza to return directly to the Supreme Saint Golden City.

In the middle of the night, the spider-woman Domina arrived in the territory via the Teleportation Array.

They went to the amusement park together.

And took a ride on the Gold Elephant.

…

The next day.

As the sun had just risen, Cleolando’s territory was already bustling.

Skeletons were moving in and out of the lord’s mansion, moving anything that could be taken away to the outside plaza.

It wasn’t even bright yet, but ‘Cleolando’ and Fang Hao had already arrived there.

They began to organize all the materials, planning to take everything with them.

According to the plan made last night, Cleolando would temporarily abandon this territory, to avoid the storm.

After all, the Undead Desert cannot be equated with the sporadic Undead forces like Amanda’s.

Covering the whole desert, starting a war would not be simple.

“How are you, not injured, right?”

At the doorstep of the lord’s mansion, Fang Hao saw Little You standing in the shadows.

“No problems, my lord,” Little You softly replied.

Little You’s type was quite special.

She could switch between physical and ghostly forms, making it very difficult to truly capture her.

At least most heroes would struggle to control Little You’s movements without preparation.

Thus, Little You’s traits were not inferior to the Dragon Clan or the Giants.

Just a lower rank.

And besides, Little You also liked to stay indoors, sleeping in her coffin in her room without any tasks, rarely coming out.

“That’s good.”

Little You continued, “When I left Ashen City, they were also assembling their forces, afraid they’ll directly wage an attack.”

Ashen City really never fell into disadvantage.

They pursued the fleeing with an immediate call to arms against the enemy’s city.

With the Undead’s mobility, they could arrive very quickly.

“Yes,” Fang Hao nodded in understanding, then continued, “Little You, your progression seems a bit slow, starting from tomorrow you too should train at the training ground!”

His call went unanswered, met only by silence.

Fang Hao glanced to his side to find Little You’s figure nowhere to be seen, having vanished without a trace.

He looked around and then said, “Hilda, you can’t hide within the shadows.”

The next second, Little You’s figure appeared from the shadow behind him.

At the moment she fully emerged,

Her eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief.

“Cough! My lord, I will go for training tomorrow,” Little You said, as embarrassed as a student caught reading a novel during class.

“Anjia is nearly surpassing you, and yet you’re lazy every day.”

“Heh-hehe!”

Work within the city continued busily.

By noon, the sun was high overhead,

And it was the hottest time of day in the desert.

The efficiency of the living creatures began to drop and more organizing tasks were handed over to the Undead.

Dong dong dong!!

The alarm bells suddenly rang out.

The residents outside the city quickly returned to the city, and the gates were slammed shut.

Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance,

One could see an army of tens of thousands of Undead appearing at the end of the scorching horizon.

“Open the Teleportation Array quickly, Ashen City forces, carry away as many as you can,” Cleolando said somewhat frantically from atop the city walls.

The Undead force was not small in number.

Once the enemy commenced the siege, getting entangled with them would make leaving hardly possible.

They had to leave before the attack, no matter what.

Even if it meant abandoning these resources.

Fang Hao roughly counted the opposition’s formations – there were around fifty thousand in number.

Quite a sizable force, indeed.

“Don’t panic, leave this to me. Let your people continue gathering items, take whatever can be taken, otherwise it’s just a gift to others,” Fang Hao said from the side.

Cleolando frowned but seeing Fang Hao speak seriously, he agreed.

He ran down the city walls, urging his people to speed up.

Elsewhere,

The Undead army halted a distance away from the city walls and quickly sent a Skeleton rider towards the city.

Shouting, “Cleolando, open the gates and surrender, otherwise once the city falls, all your people will suffer.”

Whoosh-crack!

Before the call ended,

Dark clouds instantly covered the sky above the army.

All the Undead soldiers looked up, puzzled at the sky, where lightning flickered among the clouds.

This was the desert, where did these clouds come from?

Swish swish swish!!

As the dark clouds hovered directly above the army, countless fine threads fell from them,

Latching onto every Undead.

The threads tensed, instantly immobilizing the army in their tracks, unable to move from their positions.

Even the calling Skeleton below the city, his jawbone open and halting mid-shout, froze in place.

Crack-zz!

Lightning from the clouds struck down along the dense threads.

Wham!

Lightning instantly engulfed the entire army.

As the threads retracted, tens of thousands of soldiers fell to the ground as scattered bones.

Not one survived.

The people on the city walls were dumbfounded, astounded by the scene before them.

What kind of power was that!

So terrifying.

“Gray Bear, take your men and clean up the battlefield.”

“Yes, my lord.”

The city gates were opened, and with the troops quickly advancing towards the white bones in the distance.

This time, they would gain a substantial amount of recruitment materials.

…

It took a whole day.

Cleolando managed to transport all sorts of supplies through the Gate of the Worlds to the main city.

In addition to resources, even Undead and living residents weren’t in short supply.

“Tomorrow, I’ll send you to Supreme Saint Golden City; it’s a city where Undead and living creatures cohabit, and the ruling leader is the masked female Undead you saw yesterday,” Fang Hao softly instructed ‘Cleolando’.

“Alright,” Cleolando immediately agreed, then asked, “Will I return? Return to my own city?”

“You might. Transmigrators develop much faster than the original inhabitants, and you’ll soon surpass them.”

Cleolando nodded, then said, “Mr. Fang Hao, I’m afraid I still need your help with my ‘Book of Lords’.”

Now, ‘Cleolando’s’ only issue was the lack of the Book of Lords.

It was confiscated when she was imprisoned.

So, despite her being here, Fang Hao could not absorb her, nor could she be counted as a subordinate Lord under his command.

Absorbing the Book of Lords and accepting more subordinate cities

Is indeed, of great help to Fang Hao.

For instance, resource allocation.

Lords have the authority to manage all resources from subordinate City Lords.

Now in the main city, no one was logging or quarrying anymore; the logging sites and the like were dismantled, relying solely on resources provided by subsidiary cities.

Apart from resources, there are also taxes, blueprint sharing, map sharing…

In short, Fang Hao’s duty is to protect the dependent transmigrators, and in turn, they must sustain Fang Hao.

It’s a pity that ‘Cleolando’ lacked the Book of Lords.

“Um, I will arrange for someone to keep an eye out; keeping it is useless to them, I suppose we can buy it back,” Fang Hao nodded and promised.

After arranging for ‘Cleolando’ and the residents,

Fang Hao returned to the Lord’s mansion.

…

Upon entering the hall,

He saw the Dark Elf ‘Morse’ and another Dark Elf male, cautiously seated.

Two black-armored warriors were seated alongside them.

The four sat quietly in the hall, in silence.

[Black Raven Warlock – Labisar (Orange-tier Rank 5 Hero)]

Seeing Fang Hao enter, Morse stood up first, “My Lord.”

The Dark Elf male beside him also stood up and saluted, “Labisar greets the respected Lord.”
