Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Less than fifty meters away from the battlefield.

Deng Bin and the others watched in horror at what was happening before their eyes.

They initially thought that they were going to die.

They had even planned to take down as many dwarves as they could before their own demise.

But just as they were about to struggle to their last breath, a woman with heroic charisma, perhaps like an ancient female warrior, charged out with a gun.

She was followed by an enormous horde of the undead.

They rushed out of the woods from all directions, swarming towards the dwarves.

What was going on?

Was the woman even human at all?

How could she command the skeletons?

In this vicinity, they would frequently encounter undead creatures, rotten corpses, skeletons, and even wandering spirits.

But all these undead creatures had one thing in common.

They weren't capable of communication, and they were in eternal conflict with the living.

Once you encountered them, don't think about anything else, just go to war directly.

However, today's situation has upended their previous understanding.

Could the undead also be controlled?

"Leader, while they are occupied, we should retreat!" Zackery, holding his wound around his waist, whispered a reminder in a low voice.

"Yes, now is our chance to run."

"Leader, please run." The rest of the militia also chimed in.

Thunk!

As they spoke, a skull rolled to their feet.

The moving jaw seemed to be saying something to them.

In an instant, everyone shut up.

They all looked in horror at the skull at their feet.

Clatter—!

A headless skeleton rushed over, and while everyone hastily retreated, it picked up its skull and attached it directly to its neck.

Then, without even glancing at the group, it continued to charge at the dwarves.

It seemed like the undead really didn't bear any hostility towards them.

"Leader, now is our chance to escape."

Once the skeleton had left, Zackery spoke again.

But Deng Bin stared intently at the scene unfold in front of them, caught in a dilemma of whether to take advantage of the chaos and leave now or wait till it's finished and negotiate with the gun-wielding woman?

As he continuously analyzed the pros and cons in his head, he finally bit the bullet and said, "They don't mean us any harm, as long we don't do anything stupid, just stay here and don't move."

"What? Leader, but..."

Clatter—!

Another skeleton hobbled over, picked up its thigh bone from its right side and left.

"This doesn't seem safe..."

Deng Bin took a deep breath, "Just listen to me. If we run, we'll have a tough winter ahead."

Uh...

With winter coming, their fort destroyed, and without any provisions.

It indeed wouldn't be easy to survive.

With no better options available, they had to obey their leader's command.

Everyone nodded in agreement while they bandaged the injured, keeping an eye on the battlefield at the same time.

Periodically, skeleton parts would come flying over.

Some were picked up by the skeletons and taken away, while others were left where they fell.

...

Whoosh!!

The spear was a blur as it moved at lightning speed.

With an unstoppable momentum, it again aimed for the eyes protected by the iron helmet.

The dwarf captain had been paying close attention to the human woman upfront. Seeing the spear thrust towards him, he immediately swung his sword to block it.

Clang!

The sound of iron clashing rang out loudly.

The two engaged in a fierce altercation, and then quickly put some distance between each other.

The dwarf captain questioned in a cold voice, "What do you think you're doing interfering in our business? Are you trying to declare war on Eight Peaks Mountain?"

With her right hand tightly clenched around the spear, Dong Jiayue's hand shook incessantly. The clash just now almost shattered her grip, and she was astonished by the dwarf captain's strength.

However, she maintained a cold smile on her face, "Eight Peaks Mountain? Heh, I don't care about how many peaks you have, if you're after humans, that's unacceptable!"

"Hmph, you're asking for death." The dwarf captain roared angrily.

With a flick of the reins in his hand, the stag he was mounted on charged towards Dong Jiayue.

By now, he had also assessed the situation.

Given the number of skeletons around, his side didn't stand a chance of winning.

The only opportunity left was to kill the woman in front of him. It appeared as if all these skeletons were obeying her orders, and things would become easier once she was dead.

As the dwarf captain on his stag advanced, Dong Jiayue's fighting spirit surged.

"Let me teach you a lesson today."

The spear's cold light came first.

Then, it burst out like a net of nails.

Dong Jiayue paced about steadily, continually thrusting her spear, directly aiming at vulnerable areas such as the eyes and the gaps in the armor around the jaw.

Her fierce offense instantly held back the charging dwarf who, while controlling the stag, could only parry and retreat.

The twigs and fallen leaves underfoot crunched under the stag's hooves.

She forcefully pushed the dwarf captain back to his initial position.

About to meet a bewildering surprise, the dwarf captain thought to himself.

By sheer power and ability, he was definitely much stronger than this woman.

However, her spear technique was too formidable. She had a reach advantage and kept targeting his vital areas.

He was the one on the back foot now.

As he watched, one by one, his fellow dwarves fall at the hands of the skeletons, he realized they wouldn't survive much longer at this rate.

A flash of resolute and ruthless determination crossed his eyes.

He dismissed the threat the powerful spear strikes posed and relied on his armor for protection.

He struck fiercely with his sword, adopting a do-or-die attitude.

Dong Jiayue tightened her spear technique and began to spar with her opponent using her skills.

Unbeknownst to her, several dents had formed on the armor of the dwarf captain.

The inability to kill Dong Jiayue made the dwarf captain increasingly anxious.

He saw that while mounted on the stag, he was unable to kill the enemy.

He slightly bent his knees, strongly stood on the stirrups, and the massive stag buckled under the sudden application of weight. The dwarf captain's body was already in mid-air.

His sword traced a semicircular arc in the sky and he swung it downward with all his might.

A frown crept onto Dong Jiayue's forehead. Knowing her strength was no match for the dwarf's, and facing his full-force strike, she immediately stepped back to avoid it.
