Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 950: Chapter 596, Bone Giant

Bang!!

Meatfist kicked out, and the stone door shattered into pieces.

Dust rose all around, with broken rocks scattering in chaos.

Behind the stone door was a dimly lit cave.

Meatfist said directly, “Let’s go, get inside.”

After speaking, he bent down and led a group of Undead straight into the cave.

The cave was not very large, with uneven stone walls on both sides showing traces of manual excavation.

Along the way, the ground was covered with a layer of fungal carpet.

Serpents and insects occasionally sprang out from the depths to attack these uninvited guests.

But regardless of whether these snakes and insects were poisonous,

they posed no threat to the Undead.

They crushed some that followed and harassed them, before continuing deeper into the cave.

…

Black Horn City.

The battle between the two sides became increasingly fierce.

Broken White Bone littered the ground, with fallen swords half-hidden among the piles of bones.

Clatter!!!!

The Undead of the Blood Clan, carrying Siege Ladders, quickly rushed to the bottom of the city walls.

One end was inserted into the ground while the other was raised high.

With a bang,

the Siege Ladder was propped up against the city wall, the hook on top firmly catching on the inner side of the wall.

The Skeleton Warriors below raised their shields above their heads.

They began to swiftly climb up the Siege Ladder.

The Undead on the city walls slashed at the ladders while lifting the already prepared rolling stones and logs, smashing them down at the enemies below.

Those who had made it halfway were all knocked off,

falling to the ground and breaking into shattered bones.

Below the city walls, more and more Undead began to gather.

They crowded together, using the bodies of their comrades to grow like a continually increasing mud monster,

spreading upwards ceaselessly.

Large quantities of broken stones and rolling logs fell from the top of the wall, blocking the expansion of the Undead pile.

Bang bang bang!!

In the distance, a series of gunshots rang out densely.

The Skeleton archers of the Blood Clan had entered firing range and, holding new types of firearms, began to fight back against the city walls.

The orange bullets fell on the ramparts like rain,

suppressing the Undead on the city walls so they dared not show their heads.

“Firearms… damn it, it’s those…” Odys cursed.

Seeing the enemy archers using rapid-firing ‘hand cannons’, he guessed the identity of the enemy.

He remembered last autumn,

the Goblins from the Trade Alliance had come to him.

They spoke of an Undead army attacking the Dwarves’ Eight Peaks Mountain,

believing he was the one leading the attack, they tried to mediate and stop the war from continuing.

At the time, he wondered how such a large Undead force could still exist in this region.

Now, it seemed the Undead force that attacked Eight Peaks Mountain had succeeded,

gaining a large number of cannons and new firearms from the Dwarves.

Indeed, the Blood Clan was just a smokescreen.

Behind them was that newly risen Undead.

Damn it!

Odys’s hollow pupils once again looked down below.

The pile of Undead gathering at the bottom of the city wall grew higher and higher, more and more.

With the rate of spreading, they would soon be able to climb the city wall.

Odys immediately ordered, “Summon the ‘Bone Giants’ to assist in defending the city.”

“Yes!”

After the order was relayed,

it wasn’t long before heavy footsteps could be heard from behind.

These steps, unlike those outside the city due to their sheer number,

felt more like a series of Giant Beasts approaching.

The footsteps drew closer and closer,

and the targets appeared within everyone’s line of sight.

These were massive skeletons of enormous size.

Close to ten meters in height, their bones were as thick and sturdy as huge trees.

Yet the eye sockets were empty, with no Soul Fire burning.

Their bodies were clad in somewhat old heavy armor, and around the armor’s exterior, iron chains as thick as thighs were coiled.

[Bone Giant (Tier 10 Troop)]

Dozens of Bone Giants dispersed towards the three sections of the city walls.

Upon reaching the walls, they halted their footsteps.

Standing somewhat dazedly in place.

This was the common problem with soulless troops; they could only follow orders they understood.

Moreover, once they completed one order, they would enter a standby mode of sorts and halt, not moving anymore.

Odys, standing atop the city wall, shouted loudly, “Assist in defending the city, prevent the enemy from climbing the walls.”

The ‘Bone Giants’ sprang into action.

Their clumsy bodies stood on a broken section of the inner wall, supporting themselves against an adjacent Arrow Tower, as their giant skulls peered over the top of the wall.

Looking down at the constantly gathering, upward-spreading pile of skeletons.

They swung their iron chains heavily down.

Whoosh!!

The chains were like whips cutting through the air.

Bang!!

It hit the climbing pile of skeletons as if it were a cannonball, causing the amassed pile to instantly collapse and shatter.

Skeleton frames were smashed apart, scattering everywhere.

The many Bone Giants, with each whip of their chains, slowed the onslaught of the Blood Clan’s Undead.

Bang bang bang!!

A barrage of bullets started to concentrate fire on the Bone Giants that had poked their bodies out.

Bullets rained down with a pitter-patter.

The Bone Giants immediately raised their arms to defend,

but were still staggered by the shots and could only retreat to the other side of the city walls.

The huge bodies of the Bone Giants had become the perfect targets for the rifles.

Under the dense firepower,

the bones exposed outside were battered and badly damaged.

Those with severe injuries had their neck bones nearly shattered by bullets, leaving only one third of the spine still supporting the great skulls.

However, in the next moment, streaks of gray-white light emerged from the dead White Bone around them,

converging on the Bone Giants’ injured areas, mending the broken bones back to wholeness.

Once repaired, they once again stuck out their bodies and continued to lash out with their chains at the massing skeleton pile.
