Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

In the dimly lit room,

Fang Hao and Rolana were discussing matters about Eternal Night City.

Mid-conversation, they were suddenly interrupted by the alert tone from the Sound-transmitting Shell.

"What's wrong?"

Rolana, seeing him stop mid-sentence, curiously asked.

Without answering, Fang Hao just took out a seashell from his storage space and held it to his ear.

Immediately, he heard the voice of the ancient Blood Servant, "My lord, the Sea City has been attacked."

Upon hearing these words, both were startled.

Fang Hao immediately asked, "By whom? Is there any danger?"

After a brief pause, the reply came from the other end, "They are people from the Sea Tribe, the enemy has been repelled for now."

"Alright, I'm on my way."

Putting away the Sound-transmitting Shell, Fang Hao said with some apologies, "There's been some trouble with the ship!"

"I'll come with you to have a look; I don't have anything else to do tonight anyway," Rolana said directly.

The two quickly changed into their gear.

Leaving the room, they called for the two heroes, Spencer and Beiyehu.

As for the others, Fang Hao did not call for them. After all, it was nighttime, and the situation on the other side was not clear.

As for Demitrija, she was not in the city at the time.

She had gone back to the Lizardmen.

At the Lizardmen's place.

After all preparations were ready, they activated the teleportation screen and vanished from the spot.

...

Reappearing.

The four figures stepped out from the screen of light.

On the dark deck, there wasn't a hint of light.

Surrounding them was silence, with only the scent of gunpowder lingering in the air.

There was no sight of the attacking Sea Tribe, nor any attacks landing on the ship.

Only in the darkness, the shimmering moonlight reflecting off moving skeleton skulls could be faintly seen.

At that moment, the ancient Blood Servant leaped out of the sea, landing with a thud on the deck.

Approaching Fang Hao, he reported, "My lord!"

"Yes, what's the situation?"

"The Sea Tribe soldiers attempted to attack the ship but have been repelled," said the ancient Blood Servant.

Fang Hao nodded and continued to inquire, "How many enemies were there, and how was the battle?"

"The attacking enemies were not numerous, around a thousand in size. They left some behind and then retreated immediately. It is not clear whether they still have intentions to attack."

This reef was still relatively hidden.

Moreover, being close to the Thornfin Sea, it was unlikely for anyone to pass by here.

Yet, it was still discovered by the people of the Sea Tribe.

It seemed the attack on Giant Claw Island had enraged the Sea Tribe greatly.

However, they had clearly underestimated the strength of forces at Sea City.

The few skeletons repairing the ship outside were just a minority.

A mere thousand people couldn't even get close to the Sea City.

At that moment, on the sea to the left, a series of orange flames suddenly lit up. Ship after ship enveloped in fire was quickly approaching.

Fang Hao was taken aback, what strategy was this, setting fire to the ships?

"Order the soldiers to sink those fire ships," Fang Hao commanded.

Splash!

Groups of Skeleton Wyrm Guardians swiftly swam towards the fire ships.

Beneath the fire ships, there were soldiers from the Sea Tribe.

When the two sides clashed, a fierce battle ensued.

Simultaneously, on another part of the sea, countless Sea Tribe members charged over, carrying various tools and attempting to approach the giant ship.

But halfway there, they were discovered by the Undead underwater.

After a brawl, the Sea Tribe's attempted sneak attack was repelled, and the other Sea Tribe forces also began to retreat. Hundreds of fire ships were holed in the bottom, sinking to the ocean floor.

The fire disappeared, and the sea surface was once again engulfed in darkness.

Fang Hao gazed towards the direction where the fire ships sank.

He suspected in his heart, this must be the scheme of another transmigrator.

Intending to set the ships on fire, but it clearly didn't suit this world.

The sea surface went back to calm.

Fang Hao turned to Beiyehu on the side, "Did the Sea Tribe swim all the way here?"

Beiyehu was originally from the Sea Tribe but was born a pirate.

He understood these matters.

Beiyehu immediately responded, "Impossible!"

"How so?"

"Just like humans travel on foot, we normally rely on our legs to walk, but on long journeys, we need carriages and horses to lead the way. The Sea Tribe is the same; they cannot swim directly here from the Rainbow Islands." Beiyehu explained.

"That means, there must be Sea Tribe ships hiding in the nearby darkness."

"Definitely."

Fang Hao nodded and continued, "Spencer!"

"My lord, your orders?"

"Find the enemy ships and sink them all."

"Understood, my lord."

Spencer took the command, leaped from the ship, morphed into a dragon, and disappeared into the night sky.

...

At this time, the Sea Tribe forces were somewhat baffled.

Didn't the intelligence say there were only around a thousand Undead?

How come when the fight started, these Undead seemed endless, and they even had cannons?

Dozens of Sea Tribe commanders stood on deck, staring at the distant sunken fire ships.

Their expressions were quite unpleasant.

"Send a message to His Majesty the King; the intelligence is highly inaccurate. There are not just a thousand Undead; their numbers are feared to be in the tens of thousands, perhaps even more," a Sea Tribe commander said.

Intelligence could be inaccurate, but it should not differ by so much.

A few thousand and tens of thousands were not comparable at all.

"What do we do now? It is clearly impossible to sink that ship, and moreover, this is the territory of the Thornfin Sea. The scent of blood could easily attract those merfolk," another commander asked.

"Let's retreat first. It's not a solution to drag this out here."

"Indeed."

The leading fishman took a deep look at the distance.

Everyone wanted to retreat, and the morale of the army had hit a low point.

Continuing the forced attack was unlikely to be effective.

So, he also said, "Retreat, let's pull back as well."

Just as everyone was speaking,

a whooshing sound of something tearing through the air came from above.

Suddenly looking up, they saw a huge shadow descending head-on.

Roar!

A crimson blaze swept across the hull of the ship.

Along its path, officers and soldiers turned to ash within the flames, the sails were consumed, and a great fire rose from the deck.

The orange blaze illuminated the entire night sky.

Only under this bright night sky could everyone clearly see the figure that flew by.

A dragon, looking like a desiccated corpse, was circling above the fleet.

Every time it completed a circle, it would unleash Dragon Breath towards the sea below.

Ship after ship was set ablaze, and the Sea Tribe soldiers jumped into the sea to escape, their shouts echoing loudly.

The fire grew more and more intense, lighting up the entire sea area.

...

Fang Hao watched as the fire sank ship after ship.

The soldiers of the Sea Tribe also jumped into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Plop!

An Ancient Blood Servant leaped onto the deck from underwater, "My lord, the people of the Sea Tribe are heading south, should we pursue?"

"No need, gather our forces and head towards the Sea Tribe's territory; let's go see their islands too," Fang Hao continued to give orders.

"Yes, my lord."

The Ancient Blood Servant dived back into the sea to begin arrangements.

Part of the marine forces advanced alongside the ships, while more troops entered the cabins.

Once preparations were ready,

the ship began to adjust its course, steering away from the rocky area and moving towards the direction of the Rainbow Islands.

Only when the ship officially entered the normal sea lane

did Fang Hao instruct a few words, leaving Beiyehu and Spencer behind, and took Rolana back to the main city.

...

Ah—ah!

Screams from the maids outside the window woke Fang Hao from his sleep.

He had returned late last night.

It felt as though he had blinked, and it was dawn.

"You're awake!" Next to him, Rolana, dressed in a purple nightgown, lay on a nearby soft couch, her fair and translucent legs cocked up, holding a comic book in her hands.

"Did you read all night?"

"Were you expecting to stay awake all night for a cuddle?" Rolana casually replied.

"Er, you're going back today, aren't you? I'll have someone prepare some gifts for you to take back immediately," Fang Hao said as he dressed.

Rolana glanced at him and said, "Aren't you attacking the Sea Tribe? Don't you need me to stay and help you? It's no big deal if I leave in a few days."

Fang Hao had considered this yesterday.

But the power of the Sea Tribe was just so-so.

Compared to opponents who kept challenging the Federation, they weren't really much of a threat.

The most dangerous enemy was still the Dragon Clan.

With Rolana leaving during this time, she could return early and also make contact with her demigod mother-in-law.

"The Sea Tribe alone, there's no need for you to take action; I can handle it myself. Instead, it's better for you to go and come back early," Fang Hao said.

"Alright, I got it."

The two got dressed and left the room together.

...

Lord's Manor's hall.

The weather was still good, and the maids also rose very early every day.

Hearing that Rolana was leaving, Eira, Anjia, and some of the maids all came to see her off.

Through the time spent together, the women had grown to have a big change of heart regarding Rolana.

Especially with the construction of the amusement park, they really counted on Rolana.

Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to get it built.

"Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

"Did Fang Hao bully you?"

"We're going to miss you when you're gone."

"Somebody's about to be promoted to a hero soon, and you'll be the second to experience the roller coaster, but if you leave, you won't get to enjoy it."

Rolana, listening to the maids' one-upping each other, also revealed a smile.

She remembered how these little rabbits were so scared of her.

When did she become so popular that so many people would come to hold her back from leaving?

"I'm just going home for a bit; I'll be back in a few days, and I'll bring gifts from there for you," Rolana said with a smile.

"Bats?"

"Bring back a few Rotten Corpses' heads; we'll make a ghost house."

"No, you can't, that stuff will attract a lot of bugs."

"Isn't Scholar Nelson an expert in preservation? Just treat it, and it will be fine."

Hearing the heated conversation among the women,

Fang Hao smiled knowingly, hoping that Rolana would come to regard this place as her own home.

He couldn't interject into the women's topic.

What he needed to do was prepare sufficient gifts for Rolana

to take back with her.

Outside the door, Skeletons were moving in and out.

They neatly stacked various gift boxes and brocades on a central wooden table.

There were exquisitely carved gold and silver jewelry, bestselling cosmetics in a cut-out designed gift box, and fine fabrics from Bone Textile Store.

In short, for Rolana, the demigod mother, Fang Hao could say that he prepared some of the best things he could offer.

Then, footsteps were heard.

Doujin walked in from outside.

In his hand, he held a mahogany-colored wooden box, "My lord, we have exchanged the equivalent amount from the Alliance."

The wooden box opened, revealing a full box of Warfire Cards.
