Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

The shooting continued.

Bullets poured down like rain into the cave.

However, their power was far inferior to that of crossbow bolts.

Although the Bound Spirit Guardians were still falling, they were dying too slowly.

Soon, the cave was once again filled with densely packed Undead, crowding and charging forward.

Demitrija ordered again, "Gunners fall back, crossbow carts fire."

Bang——!

The crossbow bolts once again whistled out.

The Undead along the route were instantly butchered. The surviving Bound Spirit Guardians, who had narrowly escaped decimation, became targets for the trailing bullets.

After several volleys.

The cave in front of them was filled with the skeletal remains and equipment of fallen Bound Spirit Guardians.

And the orange bullets, and dragon lock arrows embedded in the cave walls.

After this round however, the cave fell quiet.

No Bound Spirit Guardians emerged, the entire cave was left empty.

There was no sound either.

Their preliminary estimate of their kill count hadn't even reached 300.

That means that in the corners of the cave, where bullets couldn't reach in a straight line, many Bound Spirit Guardians remained.

"It seems that the intelligent are harder to deal with." Fang Hao said.

"Sir, the enemy has stopped pursuing us." Demitrija, leaving soldiers to guard the cave, walked towards Fang Hao.

Fang Hao nodded, "The count I've done is far more than this. I imagine these Undead must have some intelligence. They know they can't run out, so they're hiding."

"Then, I will send someone in to take a look."

Fang Hao shook his head, "I'll use the Thunder Spirit to take a look. Have everyone prepare."

Having said that, he conjured up a Thunder Spirit Owl once again.

It flew on into the depths of the cave.

Once it arrived at the corner.

He saw that a large number of Undead were blocking one side of the passage.

Their icy blue pupils uniformly fixed on the airborne Thunder Spirit.

But none of them stepped out from behind the corner.

They just stared grimly at the air with their gloomy, frigid expressions.

Fang Hao made the Thunder Spirit climb higher.

Looking towards the depths from above.

He roughly calculated the remaining number of Bound Spirit Guardians, there were approximately forty or fifty left.

Then, Fang Hao tried to bait them again.

These Undead just wielded their weapons, hacking and chasing.

But they still didn't leave.

Seeing that baiting them was futile, he then controlled the Thunder Spirit to directly collide into the leading Bound Spirit Guardian.

The Thunder Spirit instantly shattered, silver sparks spreading across three or four Bound Spirit Guardians.

Making their bodies shake uncontrollably.

But there were no obvious injuries.

...

After completing the reconnaissance.

Fang Hao drew his sword from his waist and sketched a map of the internals on the ground.

Pointing to the corner, "These Undead are all gathered here. I tried to lure them out with the Thunder Spirit, but it was unsuccessful."

"So, they are waiting for us to enter then." Li Rong said.

"Yes, the dragon lock crossbow cart cannot enter the cave at all. These Undead are hiding there waiting on purpose, aware of this fact." Fang Hao propped himself up on his sword and responded softly.

"What should we do then?"

For the soldiers to maintain a straight line of fire, they would need to advance into the cave corner.

The moment they positioned themselves to fulfill these conditions, they would only be around four meters away from the enemy.

By then, if these Bound Spirit Guardians charge out, even escaping would be difficult.

Fang Hao remained silent.

On the side, Demitrija interrupted Li Rong's words directly, "Sir, I can lead the soldiers to charge in. With a few Undead, it won't be a problem to deal with."

Demitrija was a combat hero.

He was top tier in hand-to-hand combat within the territory.

Moreover, he possessed strong combat skills.

Fang Hao thought carefully, there were only so few Bound Spirit Guardians left.

Additionally, within the constricted terrain of the cave, it would also be challenging for the enemy to form an ambush.

It should pose no problem for Demitrija.

After figuring it out, he said directly: "Alright, have everyone prepare. Demitrija will lead a few in, while we stay outside to assist."

"Understood, Sir."

Demitrija withdrew back again for the final preparations.

Li Rong on the side didn't say anything more, but her gaze alternated between Fang Hao and Demitrija.

Not long after.

Demitrija emerged with five Lionheart Knights.

"Sir, we are ready."

"Alright, be careful. If you find anything amiss, retreat. We will come up with another strategy." Fang Hao instructed.

"Understood."

Demitrija waved slightly, leading the five Lionheart Knights, weapons in hand, into the cave.

Fang Hao once again summoned a Thunder Spirit Owl.

He has it follow them into the cave.

Demitrija led the way, moving straight ahead along the cave road.

The Lionheart Knights behind him, weapons in hand and Nightstones on their waists, followed consecutively.

The Thunder Spirit had night vision and could see clearly even in the dark.

They finally arrived at the fork in the road.

Without saying anything, Demitrija entered, longsword in hand.

The Bound Spirit Guardians, who had been standing rigid, saw the living creatures enter.

The Soul Fire in their eyes rose violently.

Immediately after, they raised their weapons and lunged at the living creatures in front of them.

Seeing the enemy charge, Demitrija didn't change his demeanor at all.

With a point of his left hand.

He released the Mark of the Heretics, marking all enemies in sight.

"Kill!"

Once the marking was fully deployed, Demitrija shouted and led the charge towards the enemy.
