Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 477: Chapter 412, Embarrassed Xu Yang_2

Now, they finally saw hope.

“Yeah, once we get out of here, we can live in the cities of the humans and no longer need to live in fear,” A smile appeared on Xu Yang’s face.

Finally escaping the troll, finally escaping this place filled with deserted hills and shattered stones.

“Yes, thanks to you, sir, or else we would have been eaten by those trolls,” someone said.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s hurry and get out of here before it gets dark.”

“Yes.”

Everyone stopped talking and quickened their pace.

With the help of the map, Xu Yang led the way for everyone.

After walking for a whole morning, they finally arrived at the edge marked on the map.

However, the originally clear path was blocked by a massive fortress.

Blocking everyone’s passage.

And on the walls of the fortress, they could see skeleton soldiers on guard.

“Damn, what the hell! The undead built a fortress here.” Xu Yang and the others immediately hid, hugging the mountain wall, cursing in a low voice.

According to the information obtained earlier, there was not supposed to be any fortress here, but a fortress appeared out of nowhere.

“Sir, what should we do?” a peasant asked.

“Let’s go, let’s go back and take the path through the Coldwind Mountain Range.” Xu Yang gritted his teeth and said again.

“Okay.”

Everyone picked up their belongings and turned back in the direction they came from.

But as soon as they turned around, they heard the quickening pace of footsteps and the sound of carriage wheels crunching stones not far in front of them.

The color drained from Xu Yang’s face, faced with a fortress behind them and in front of them a group of people and horses approaching.

Had they spent all this time hiding for nothing? Were they doomed to die here after all?

“Sir, what…, what should we do?” a peasant asked anxiously.

“Grab your weapons, get ready for the final battle.” Xu Yang said through gritted teeth.

There were steep cliffs on both sides, impossible to climb up.

In a situation where there was nowhere to retreat, they could only arm themselves to bolster their courage.

…

Soon, the dense footsteps became louder and louder, and even more chaotic.

One could tell that there were a lot of people moving quickly.

Rounding the obstructing mountain in front of them,

An army made of white bones appeared within the sight of Xu Yang and the others.

At this moment, with the fortress in the back, and the undead army in front, they were stuck in the middle.

Xu Yang and the others tightened their grip on their weapons.

“Get ready to fight them to the end-slaying one is earning one.” Xu Yang shouted.

The undead troops also spotted the humans in the middle of the road, holding their weapons.

The clash of swords rings out, producing a harsh abrasive noise.

Surrounding all the humans in front of them.

As Xu Yang was about to order an attack, he saw an Orc with a pig-like face mounted on a skeleton horse coming toward him.

The female Orc had gems in her big ears and a gold pendant around her neck.

Apart from her appearance that didn’t fit human aesthetics, her attire made her look more like a woman of noble birth.

Xu Yang and the others stared wide-eyed and gaped at the pig-like human in the carriage.

What’s happening?

Why was there a pig-headed human in the team of the undead? And riding a horse, too, which seemed to denote her high status.

It was Petty, who was tasked with the duty of orchestrating the withdrawal of the troops.

Her mission today was to withdraw five hundred thousand undead troops, then have other heroes relocate this group of troops to a city on the western side.

Preparing for an attack on a place called Desolate Battlefield.

But she didn’t expect to come across a group of humans blocking their way as they approached the fortress.

On second thought, something didn’t seem right.

How did these humans get through the fortress and into the Bloodthroat mountain range?

“Who are you? Why are you here?” Petty asked.

Seeing the orc willing to communicate, hope ignited in the eyes of Xu Yang, he said directly: “We mean no harm, we just want to pass through the fortress and leave this mountain range.”

“You’re lying. What’s your real purpose for entering the Bloodthroat mountain range? This is your last chance.” Petty’s voice suddenly turned cold.

The undead army had swept the entire Bloodthroat mountain range.

Every troll village was leveled in the face of the undead army.

If there really were a few humans there, they would have already been found and perhaps even killed.

Moreover, how could humans possibly survive in that place?

So, these people could only have come from outside and not be trying to leave.

Could it be that Bloody Fortress has a hidden path that allowed these few humans to sneak in?

As Petty’s warning had just fallen,

The surrounding undead warriors stepped forward two more steps.

In a posture ready to attack at any time.

Xu Yang looked at them, realizing there was a misunderstanding, immediately said, “Esteemed one, as you can see, we are human fur traders who came to exchange some goods with the Trolls.”

He carefully eyed the pig-headed human on horseback, and continued, “But it seems there are some problems with the Trolls here, so we were thinking of leaving. We just met your team by chance. But rest assured, we did nothing wrong, and we took nothing.”

Xu Yang loudly assured him, intending to use this as a way to convince the pig-headed human to allow him to leave.

Petty observed the group in silence.

The story could make sense, but it also had many questionable points.

Looking at the leader of the humans, with his fawning smile, he felt the man was trying to deceive him.

He said plainly, “I can lead you out, but whether or not to allow you to leave is up to our lord.”

“That’s not necessary, we are just fur traders. We didn’t get any good returns this time, so we need to go back as soon as possible!” Xu Yang continued.

“It won’t take too much time. I suppose you wouldn’t want me to have the army forcibly arrest you.” Petty continued.

Xu Yang knew he had no choice, but at least the pig-headed human was willing to negotiate.

At least they didn’t have to fight with the undead upon meeting.

After thinking it over, he tossed his weapon onto the ground, reiterated: “Esteemed one, we mean no harm. We hope you won’t make things difficult for us.”

The undead soldiers promptly step up to guard all the humans.

Seeing the issue resolved, Petty lowered the cart door.

The army continues its journey, out of the Bloody Mountains.

…

Watching the undead lead them out of the mountains, Xu Yang and the others rejoiced.

The villagers admired their lord even more.

In just a few words he managed to use the undead to cross the fort that had trapped them.

Next, as long as their cover as fur traders held up, they could leave here and head towards the human city.

But as they traversed Bloody Fortress under the escort of the undead, in a blink,

Their originally relaxed facial expressions instantly turned to fear.

On the other side of the fort was a highly disciplined, well-equipped undead army that seemed endless.

Among the ranks, Orcs sprinted, delivering various orders.

Originally, the undead army stationed near the Bloodthroat Tribe had scared them for several days.

Seeing the scene in front of them now rendered their legs weak.

The humans were dragged by undead soldiers towards a huge cage.

Beyond being brought some food at noon,

No one paid them any attention.

…

At two in the afternoon.

Fang Hao rode the Bone Dragon directly to the Bloody Fortress.

In the commander’s hall of the fortress, he reassigned tasks to the people.

Black Sword, Giant Shield, Heavy Arrow, they were to lead an army of two million to Dong Jiayue’s city based on the map.

Preparing for the upcoming assault on the Desolate Battlefield.

Fang Hao was still very curious about the identity of that huge heart.

Could it be, gods can die too?

If gods can die, should they still be considered gods?

Fang Hao thought to himself as he walked out of the commander’s hall.

Just as he was about to mount the Bone Dragon to leave, he heard a shout from a close distance, “Fang Hao? Is that you?”

Following the voice,

He saw several massive metal cages at a distance.

Some scruffy looking humans were imprisoned in the cages.

There was no dungeon in the fortress, and traditionally there were no prisoners.

Seeing humans held captive in metal cages, all while shouting his own name, he was slightly confused.

“What’s happening here?”

Fang Hao did not recognize the identity of the others. He turned to ask Black Sword who was close by.

“They were brought back by Petty this morning. They were caught sneaking into the Bloody Mountains on the way here. There has been no time to interrogate them yet,” Black Sword explained softly.

“Sneaked into the Bloody Mountains?”

“Yes, they claim to be fur traders, trying to sneak in.”

The two spoke quietly.

However, the man in the nearby cage was restless and started shouting, “It’s me, Xu Yang, Fang Hao! It’s me, Xu Yang!”
