Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Having removed the God’s Presence status, Fang Hao rose from the bed.

After having a sip of cold water, he walked out of the Lord’s Cabin directly.

Outside, the worker skeletons were still busily doing their work, and the skeleton soldiers were patrolling and hunting.

He opened the Book of Lords and turned to the “Production” section.

“Bone Arrow: 1 Wood, 2 Beast Bones.”

He set the quantity to 100 and chose to make them.

“100-time Amplification triggered, successfully made 10100 Bone Arrows.”

Bundles of bone arrows appeared, piled to a side.

“Prepare ten carts, load the double-handed light crossbows from the warehouse and bring the gnoll daggers.” Fang Hao ordered loudly.

A few skeletons nearby immediately put down their work and went to the warehouse to load the carts.

Fang Hao had been thinking about countermeasures after the recent battle.

Considering the higher rank and better physical abilities of the Bloodthirsty Wolfbats, they far exceeded the skeleton soldiers.

But most importantly, they flew.

The skeleton soldiers’ swords and shields could only strike when the Wolfbats landed to attack.

However, the Wolfbats were too quick; it was difficult for the skeleton soldiers to follow their speed.

So, Fang Hao decided to change tactics.

If they couldn’t catch up, then they would abandon their swords and shields.

He made more than ten thousand bone arrows which, while limited in their attack, could potentially whittle down the enemies.

Soon, the carts loaded with two thousand double-handed light crossbows and over 200 gnoll daggers were pushed over.

These double-handed light crossbows were crafted when dealing with the orc troops.

They had been carefully preserved in the warehouse.

This saved Fang Hao from wasting materials to craft more.

Once again, Fang Hao sent skeletons to look for over 200 elongated wooden poles.

He tied gnoll daggers to the tops of the poles with sturdy hemp ropes, making them into makeshift spears.

This was somewhat awkward.

Fang Hao had already obtained the blueprint for iron spears.

But the blueprint was at Shadowwind Castle, and making them would require the Book of Lords.

In other words, he could only make them after the Book of Lords had recorded the blueprint when the skeletons from the Shadowwind Castle returned.

Fang Hao didn’t want to delay until the evening, so he skipped one of the steps.

He simply mounted the daggers on long wooden poles, serving as makeshift spears.

Soon, 200 spear-daggers were made.

“Load the bone arrows and the spears onto the carts.”

Fang Hao said as he moved back to his room.

Once again, he used God’s Presence and possessed a skeleton soldier standing outside the door.

The ten thousand bone arrows, two hundred spears, and the two thousand double-handed light crossbows grabbed from the warehouse were all loaded onto the carts.

Everything was ready.

Fang Hao led three thousand skeleton soldiers and pushed the carts towards Shadowwind Castle.

The road was clear.

When they arrived at Shadowwind Castle, more than a thousand skeleton soldiers were still guarding the fortress’s gate.

They showed no signs of slackening.

“Okay, 2000 of you need to abandon your shields. Take up the double-handed light crossbows, and a few of you take the spears.”, said Fang Hao.

221 gnoll-dagger spears, 324. rusty iron spears.

A total of 545 spears could be gathered.

It was plain to see Fang Hao’s reasoning.

The diving attack of the Bloodthirsty Wolfbats was fierce, cumulatively knocking down large numbers of skeletons.

If they failed to handle the diving attack, then the crossbowmen would struggle to perform effectively.

After thinking for a long time, Fang Hao thought of the spears.

To thwart the damage of the diving attacks.

However, to see if the idea was feasible, they needed to verify it in combat.

With everything set, Fang Hao said, “Open the gate.”

The castle gate was opened ajar, and Fang Hao peered inside.

The grand hall of the castle was a mess after the earlier battle.

The six Bloodthirsty Wolfbats had once again returned to the six massive pillars, motionless as if they were statues.

“Good, let’s move in.”, Fang Hao urged.

Armed skeletons flooded the great hall with their weapons and the accumulated pile of ten thousand bone arrows.

The hall was limited in space and became instantly crowded as the skeletons entered, leaving even more behind outside.

The actions of Fang Hao and the others stirred the Bloodthirsty Wolfbats, which were just resting.

When the Bloodthirsty Wolfbats opened their eyes to discover it was still these low-grade skeletons, their rage became difficult to contain.

An angry roar resounded through the air.

“Nie Ma, fire!”

The Bloodthirsty Wolfbats had only just taken off when the skeletons wielding light crossbows had already pulled their triggers.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A dense flurry of bone arrows, like a large net, fired at the bats.

Due to the suddenness of the event in the confined space, the bats didn’t have time to find cover.

In an instant.

Every bat was assailed by bone arrows, inflicting pain beyond bearability.

The bats, furious, dived to attack just as the crossbowmen were reloading.

Fang Hao was waiting for just this moment.

“Spears!”

The skeleton soldiers thrust their iron spears at the diving bats.

The lead bat, seeing the oncoming spears, realized with dread that it was too late to brake.

Instantly charging into the forest of spears, its wings were pierced, making it slide into the heart of the skeletons.

The skeletons with swords and shields, naturally, took advantage of this opportunity to ‘kick them while they’re down’.

With each swing of their sword, they hacked its head into a mash.

The remaining five Bloodthirsty Wolfbats watched the scene in front of them in terror.

They never imagined that these skeletons, who had just exited and re-entered, managed to kill one of their companions.

Blood of the deceased still glistening broodingly on the iron spears.

Just a few seconds later.

New bolts were reloaded once more.

“Fire!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The rain of arrows again surged out, staking the bodies of the bats, making them look like porcupines.

While the damage of the bone arrows was limited, they were still able to penetrate the bats.

Occasionally, a few arrows even pierced their wings, shooting through to form a hole.

The bats, bathed in blood, attempted to dive for an attack but were immediately repelled by the spears.

“Fire!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

“Fire!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After the fourth volley of arrows, the bats could no longer endure. Bleeding profusely, they recklessly charged forward.

The spears once again stabbed out, piercing their bodies while the other sword and shield bearers finished them off.

Soon, the battle that had lasted almost an hour finally ended.

“Throw the bodies out,” Fang Hao ordered.

The deaths of the ferocious Tier 5 Wolfbats were indeed a little stifling.

Despite possessing overwhelming strength, they were slain by Fang Hao’s combined arms approach.

The massive bodies of the six Wolfbats were dragged outside, leaving trails of fresh blood along the way.

Once again, the hall lapsed into silence.

Fang Hao trod upon the arrow shafts strewn across the floor, as if walking on dry grass, causing a cracking noise with each step.

This battle deeply impressed upon Fang Hao the importance of troop tiers.

Tier 5 Bloodthirsty Wolfbats, fighting hundreds of Tier 1 Skeleton Soldiers, left the soldiers with no means to fight back.

Yet the eventual victory relied heavily on Fang Hao’s mastery and opportunism.

Any other lord would find it hard to achieve the same outcome.

If they encountered the Bloodthirsty Wolfbats in the early stages of their domain, they would be left with only one path — death.

“Search, see if there’s anything good on the first floor,” Fang Hao loudly ordered.

If he was given six Tier 5 troops, he refused to believe there was nothing of value here.

Soon, the Skeleton Soldiers had turned the first floor upside down.

A few items were presented before Fang Hao.
