Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 577: Chapter 451, Confrontation Under the City_1

The Great Commander was first taken aback, then swiftly stood up, knocking over the chair behind him.

Those ugly, sickening spiders actually had helpers.

Plus, there was a power daring to move against the Blackstone, practically seeking death.

The Great Commander’s face was full of rage as he coldly asked, “Tell me, which tribe dares to move against the Blackstone? I’ll send my troops to annihilate them immediately.”

Obviously, those aiding the spiders were reinforcements brought in by the fleeing spiderwoman.

They had been tracking these thieves.

Who would have thought they’d be so audacious to come to their doorstep?

Spencer of the Dragon Clan, who was standing by the side, was also waiting for the answer. He wanted to see who dared to steal his treasure.

The injured Orc endured pain and answered weakly, “It, it’s an army of the undead. There are many of them, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands…”

“You are sure it was the undead?” The Great Commander confirmed again.

They were aware of every tribe and power, but they could never imagine that there was a large-scale power of the undead. If there were, they would’ve started a war long ago.

They wouldn’t have waited until now.

Moreover, why would the spiders be connected with the undead…

“Yes, the undead, many undead… hurry.” The injured Orc continued, but finally passed out due to his wounds.

The Great Commander and the Dragon Clan exchanged glances, skeptical about this information.

They were about to conduct an investigation.

Then, the sound of footsteps rose again from outside.

Immediately afterwards, the door opened, and one wounded soldier after another was brought in.

Every single one of them had the same story.

In the depths of the forest where the spiders lived, there appeared a large army of the undead. Their numbers had reached an uncountable degree.

They were lucky to have escaped.

Only upon hearing this did the Great Commander and the Dragon Clan realize the severity of the situation.

The undead army was real and exceedingly colossal in size.

The Great Commander looked extremely grim.

After thinking, he immediately ordered. “Send scouts to investigate the situation in the Spider Forest. At the same time, gather the army; all the troops of the affiliated tribes gather under the city to prepare for battle.”

“Yes!” The guard took the order and immediately passed on the message.

…

At night.

The rain was still falling non-stop.

Outside the Blackstone Tribe, a massive Orc army was gathered.

Apart from Blackstone’s own army, it also included forces from all nearby medium and small villages and towns.

The total number of troops neared 70,000.

It was with this force that the Blackstone Tribe maintained its current status.

Since it was defensive warfare, there was no need for baggage.

All the villages received orders from the Blackstone Tribe and gathered here.

Everyone knew that there would be a fight.

But they didn’t know who the enemy was.

The Orc army was on the left wing.

A small team formed by humans, they were clustered together, each topped with a rain cover, waiting for the next command.

The raindrops hitting their bodies turned their faces pale with cold.

Three lords huddled together in a small tent, whispering.

“What insanity are these beasts up to? Up in the middle of the night, not sleeping, and leaving us freezing here,” one asked in a low voice.

Another person hugged himself tightly, his teeth chattering, “Look, look, they seem to be preparing for war. So many people have gathered; they seem to be ready to fight till death.”

“The loyalty of my troops is less than 50. I fear they may turn against me before the war even begins.”

“The last one who was said to have less than 50 loyalty… his grave is now overgrown with grass. You’ve managed to survive for quite some time.”

“By the way, where is Brother Tang? Doesn’t he know what’s happening this time?”

“Brother Tang is still in the city, we’ll ask him when he comes out, to find out what’s actually going on,” said another.

…

Before long.

The leaders of each tribe walked out of the camp.

A human man followed them out behind a female Orc. After a greeting, he returned to his own team.

Seeing the man approaching, the three men in the tent immediately rushed out to greet him.

“Brother Tang, got any news? Half into the night, I’ve been frozen till I’m almost peeing,” one of them said.

The man called Brother Tang was named Tang Qi.

With the backing of the Blackstone Tribe, as he was favored by the tribe chief’s daughter, he thrived.

The other three men also survived due to Tang Qi’s influence and they all became affiliated villages under the Blackstone Tribe.

Wearing leather armor, Tang Qi replied directly, “They say that the enemy is a group of undead. The number must be significant, otherwise, they wouldn’t gather so many people.”

The other three were stunned.

This area was the Orcs’ territory. If they said there was an undead cave or something similar, it would be understandable. But a large-scale undead force appearing here was unbelievable.

“Lately, there are indeed quite a few rumors about the undead. Many have claimed they’ve seen the undead army. Perhaps they are all talking about the same group.” someone said.

From time to time, people would post a photo or two, all about the massive White Bone Army.

Those massive, daunting images scared people just by looking at them.

Because of this, the channel was filled with people used to grand spectacles, creating a situation where photos of battles with merely hundreds or thousands of soldiers were disregarded.

Such images would even provoke a wave of ridicule.

‘This is what you call a battle?’ ‘Even the fights at my village have more people.’

These kinds of remarks frequently appeared, making your battles seem less intense than a squabble between two dogs in the village.

Because of this, unless it was a large-scale war, people hardly posted pictures of it in those channels.

“I have to take a picture, or I might never get this chance again.” One of them opened up the Book of Lords and took a picture of the Orc army from afar.
