Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 414: Chapter 386, Quicksand Trap_1

As the various teams were directing their members.

Fang Hao’s attention was focused on the leading Dragon Scale mercenary group.

When Pulimo cleared away the vines and revealed the words on the stele, Fang Hao could clearly see them from afar.

[Glory Cemetery].

The name alone tells you that there’s a graveyard beyond the castle.

The audacity to build a city into a cemetery is quite impressive.

Even Rebecca from Lyss City couldn’t match this feat.

Taking another look at the towering castle, confirming the symbols and angel carvings left on the Stone Castle, it was clear that the colossal cemetery was built by the church.

It remains unknown what transpired here that led to its abandonment.

Yet the temple in Lyss City only has a Tier 10 elderly Priestess as its highest-ranking official.

There is a great contrast between this glory and decay.

Fang Hao pondered these thoughts.

However, he saw the members of the Dragon Scale mercenary group assembling and whispering amongst themselves.

This once again made Fang Hao question the true motive of the Dragon Scale mercenary group’s journey.

Clearly, the Dragon Scale mercenary group had a specific aim.

And it was not monster clearing, but to acquire something.

But what could possibly be in a graveyard?

Burial artifacts?

Very likely.

“All teams rest for ten minutes. We may encounter more of these white monkeys once we go in, so check your equipment. Teams short on arrows should exchange with others,” Pulimo said loudly.

Everyone took another break.

Meanwhile, the men of the Dragon Scale mercenary group began searching the rooms within the castle.

Fang Hao and others simply sat on the ground.

Eric came close once more, “There must be something valuable inside, and it’s all going to them.”

“Do you know what they’re looking for?” Fang Hao asked curiously.

“No idea, but places like these ruins usually hold plenty of valuable items. Unfortunately, we signed a contract; all spoils of war belong to them…what a shame,” Eric said with a hint of regret.

The city may have turned into ruins.

But among the rubble and debris, one can still find many valuable items.

Some nobles’ collections, treasure chests beneath the stones.

If one searches carefully, even the hidden savings of previous inhabitants can be found.

In a ruin, anything can be found and instant riches are often stumbled upon.

Fang Hao and the others didn’t budge, they just sat together, drinking water to restore their stamina.

From time to time, battle cries can be heard from within the castle, suggesting that there are still some hidden monsters.

But the Dragon Scale mercenary group didn’t react much, probably because these enemies are scattered and insignificant.

In no time, all of the spoils within the castle were collected.

Piled up outside the Stone Castle.

Fang Hao casually glanced at them, but did not see a transmigrator’s treasure chest. ƒreewebɳovel.com

…

“Alright, we have one last stretch to go. Everyone, finish resting and let’s set off soon so we can complete the battle and leave before nightfall,” declared Captain Pulimo.

It seems that the items that Dragon Scale mercenary group were seeking were not inside the Stone Castle.

Everyone got up, began reforming the ranks, and continued advancing.

They passed the abandoned Stone Castle.

Behind them was a massive cemetery.

The cemetery was incredibly vast, with remnants of flower beds and shattered stone statues visible.

But everything was now covered by green plants and vines.

Desolate.

At the center of the cemetery, there was a dense array of steles.

Some steles had already shattered, some had collapsed coffins, with flowers and grass growing on the skeletal remains.

Crack!!

A crisp sound.

One of the tombstones cracked, and a white monkey sprung up, crouching on top of it.

The weathered tombstone directly split open a crack.

Then, one by one, the white monkeys emerged from various corners. Their numbers had quickly exceeded that of the mercenaries.

The white monkeys stared at the crowd from a distance, their tongues flicking over their shriveled lips like snake’s forked tongues.

Gulp!!

All the mercenaries jointly swallowed their saliva.

Other than the members of the Dragon Scale mercenary group, everyone else was cursing.

Didn’t they say it was easy money?!

They freaking called this an easy money situation?!

We’ve clearly kicked a hornet’s nest of white monkeys.

“Prepare for battle, each mercenary group cover each other, beware of friendly fire,”

At this time, Pulimo still issued the order to prepare for battle.

All the teams were stunned.

Under these circumstances, shouldn’t everyone collectively cover each other and retreat?

Argh~!

But reality didn’t afford them too much time to think.

A white monkey suddenly let out a sharp, ear-piercing scream.

All the white monkeys echoed with their own screams.

The next second, they all charged towards the team.

“Fight, maintain formation,”

Each team began issuing battle-ready commands.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

The archers from each team started their attack.

Arrows whizzing through the air, one after another.

White monkeys ran on all fours, their forms agile. Arrows flying straight towards them were easily dodged.

But their speed only kept increasing. As they neared the teams, they jumped high, wielding sharp, sturdy claws, and crashed directly into the ranks.

Instantly, cries of war and painful screams filled the whole cemetery.

Initially, Fang Hao’s team and Eric’s mercenary group were covering for each other.

But with the ceaseless attacks from the white monkeys, they were instantly scattered.

All had begun to retreat towards the base of the wall while defending against the white monkeys’ attacks.

Using the wall behind them as cover, they defended against the frontal attacks.

Fang Hao too joined the battle, his right hand wielding an iron sword.
