Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead - Chapter 380: 370, So You're Here_l

Chapter 380: Chapter 370, So You’re Here_l

Fang Hao was a bit surprised by the speed of the Skeleton Mantismen.

One by one, they had sprung into view as if propelled from springs underneath their feet.

In the blink of an eye, their figures had vanished.

These eight-level beings indeed possessed some advantageous features.

Keeping an eye on the direction in which the Mantismen had disappeared, Fang Hao continued to recruit more Skeleton Giant Bats.

These bats had proven to be extremely efficient, giving him a sense of using a swarm strategy.

Especially now that he had acquired a significant amount of Blood Stones on Crescent Heights.

Not recruiting more of them seemed wasteful.

The current storage of Blood Stones was 1124.

He set the recruitment volume to 500.

Confirm recruitment.

[ioo-fold Enchantment Triggered, Recruited 50500 Skeleton Giant Bats.] 50,000 Skeleton Giant Bats appeared in an instant, dimming the sky as they spread their wings and settled around him.

“Standby outside,” Fang Hao continued to issue the same command.

Upon hearing the command, the Skeleton Giant Bats turned around and flew straight out of the city.

With the Giant Bats gone, Fang Hao proceeded with recruitment.

[ioo-fold Enchantment Triggered, Recruited 101000 Skeleton Minotaurs.]

[ioo-fold Enchantment Triggered, Recruited 60600 One-eyed Skeleton Trolls.]

Fang Hao successively recruited Skeleton Minotaurs and One-eyed Skeleton Trolls.

The Minotaurs possessed the skill ‘Frenzied Charge’, which was an excellent for breaking enemy formations.

And the One-eyed Skeleton Trolls, a seventh-level creature, had two levels higher than regular Skeleton Trolls, adding more manpower to the Troll shield formation called ‘Giant Barricade’.

By now, Fang Hao had taken control of Crescent Heights and the Frostwind Mountain Range, acquiring a steady supply of Beast Teeth and Blood Stones.

Although the production rate of these two materials was slow, it alleviated the material recruitment problem for the two camps of species.

On the contrary, the number of Troll Stones he had was still limited. He could only recruit 60,000 soldiers.

Fang Hao continued ordering these troops to stand by and went toward the city gate himself.

As he exited the city gate, he saw an army of bone-white soldiers, densely packed together, devoid of any equipment.

They were orderly grouped together according to their troop types, waiting for their next command.

During this time, Giant Barricade approached quickly, carrying his heavy shield.

“My lord, all the Skeleton Trolls remaining in the main city have been assembled,” Giant Barricade stated, placing his heavy shield aside.

“How many?”

Behind Giant Barricade was the assembled army of Skeleton Trolls, most of which were fifth-level Skeleton Trolls and a small number of One-eyed Skeleton Trolls. They were armed with axes and Wolf Fang Clubs.

However, all of them were wearing the three-piece Troll Heavy Armor set.

“My lord, there are approximately more than 200,000 of them,” Giant Barricade answered after pondering for a moment.

The number was so large that it was impossible for Giant Barricade to provide an exact figure alone.

Of course, Fang Hao only wanted a rough estimate for the purposes of equipment production.

“Adding the newly-recruited 60,000, the total is close to 300,000,” stated Fang Hao.

Fang Hao first produced 60,600 sets of armor and axes for the newly-recruited One-eyed Skeleton Trolls.

He then positioned them into the Troll formation.

Afterward, he proceeded to retrieve the blueprints for the Troll Heavy Shield.

The production was set to 3,000.

[ioo-fold Enchantment Triggered, Gained 303,000 Troll Heavy Shields.] Boom, boom, boom!!

Shield after shield, as massive as door panels, appeared in the air before stacking up around the surrounding vacant area.

While the Troll Heavy Shield was not as large as the one Giant Barricade carried, it was still pretty big.

The height of the shield was nearly three meters with a width of approximately two meters; it was considerably heavy.

A bracket was attached to the back of the shield, meaning it could be unfolded to stand in front of the holder, forming an insurmountable wall.

[Troll Heavy Shield (Blue)]

[Category: Shield]

[Defense: Level Three Defense]

[Ability: Giant Rock Barricade]

[Giant Rock Barricade: Durability +80%, attacking opponents face a 5% movement speed reduction and 10% attack speed reduction.]

(Description: The best defense is to make your shield bigger and thicker. When it is as large as a city gate, will your enemies be able to lift the battering ram?) Even a blue-quality item came with an ability, which was quite rare.

The additional [Giant Rock Barricade] ability was fitting to the properties of the shield.

Not only did it increase the durability of the shield by 80%, but it would also slow down any enemy attacking the shield.

The extra durability meant that the shield was highly resistant to damage during enemy attacks.

Once the Trolls brandished the heavy shield, Fang Hao discovered that their way of use differed entirely from the sword and shield tactic of the human camp.

Upon picking up a heavy shield, the Trolls would put away their axes.

They moved with both hands holding the shield.

They didn’t move with a shield in one hand and a weapon in the other, unlike humans.

Fang Hao moved on to producing throwing axes.

“Giant Barricade, I plan to equip the Skeleton Trolls with throwing axes. How many acs do you think each of them should carry?” Fang Hao asked.

“My lord, generally three or five should suffice,” replied Giant Barricade.

Throwing axes were not like arrows; there was no need to carry a large quantity.

Since the throwing range of the axes was rather short, they were usually hurled when the two sides were close together.

Carrying more would be cumbersome and impede mobility.

“Fine.”

Fang Hao agreed and began the production of throwing axes.

He set the production to 9,000.

Confirm production.

[ioo-fold Enchantment Triggered, 909,000 Throwing Axes Acquired.]

Boom, boom!!

Innumerable throwing axes fell from the sky.

They littered the open area around them.

“Giant Barricade, see that the equipment is distributed,” directed Fang Hao, looking at the equipment scattered all over the ground.

“Yes, my lord,” responded Giant Barricade with a nod, before commanding the Skeleton Trolls to pick up the weapons from the ground..
