Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 1278 - 865: Quickly Resolve the Battle

Chapter 1278 -865: Quickly Resolve the Battle

Most people were just ordinary pirates.

Facing the sudden thick dark clouds and the thundering voice, they all displayed a hint of unease.

All the pirates responsible for defense simultaneously looked towards a middle-aged man on the city walls, a man in a blue robe with pale purple skin.

An elegant Dark Elf.

Also, the master of Skeleton Island, ‘Black Thorn-Hoyle’.

As the words within the dark clouds concluded, ‘Hoyle’s’ elegant stance suddenly stiffened.

Surprise and fear also surfaced on his plain face.

The butler beside him, also a Dark Elf, noticed something was amiss and brought over a chair, placing it behind him.

“Island Master, is there a problem?”

Hoyle directly sat on the chair, his hand gripping his chest tightly.

His lips turned even more purplish, and large beads of sweat continuously dripped down.

“It’s nothing, continue to organize the defense…” Island Master Hoyle said through gritted teeth.

However, the guards around him all noticed something was wrong.

The moment his name was shouted among the dark clouds, the Island Master’s condition changed.

Pirates normally have no rules.

Immediately, some low whispers of discussion spread.

Speculating whether the Island Master was really affected by those words.

Hoyle turned a deaf ear, gripping his chest tightly as if resisting something.

While the pirates confusedly mixed and speculated.

Above their heads, in the clouds, the thunderous voice continued.

“Peacekeeping Hero ‘Dres’, your heart cannot beat, Goods Tally Officer ‘Thompson’, you cannot breathe, ‘Fearful Eye’ Pirate Group ‘Lannister’, your blood starts to burn, ‘Black Dragon’ Pirate Group ‘Toynbee’…”

Thump-thump…

As if Death God was tallying names, as the voice persisted, the heroes who were called all showed corresponding changes.

Some clutched their chests, falling to the ground unable to rise, some opened their mouths wide trying to breathe, while others spontaneously combusted.

Turning into a fireman, howling while dashing around chaotically.

But the flame burned from within the body, and even diving into a barrel of water showed no signs of extinguishing.

“Boss…”

“Captain…”

The whole island already went from tense to panicky.

Those who died were all top-notch heroes on the island.

If these figures can die just by being named, what about them, the ordinary pirates?

Crash!

The pirates on the city walls began to run down, while those under the walls rushed to their dwellings, planning to take their savings and flee.

Everyone was a pirate, after all, seeking wealth.

Who would knowingly face an unbeatable opponent and wait for death here?

Up on the city walls, the Island Master ‘Hoyle’ also looked extremely ill.

The distant giant ship bore no flag, nor had they heard of any forces possessing such a huge ship.

Who the opponent was remained unclear, but he knew they must be very powerful.

“Stop them, everyone return to their positions, anyone attempting to escape, execute them on the spot!” Hoyle commanded coldly. His face was getting paler, and his body weaker.

He was a Dark Gold Hero, his physical strength wouldn’t let him die immediately.

But his energy and condition were rapidly declining.

If this continued, he feared he couldn’t hold on much longer.

“Yes, Island Master…”

His followers had just answered when suddenly – whoosh!

A whistling sound arose as thread-like strands fell from the thick clouds.

Like grey-black cotton, cascading down with sugar strands.

Some grabbed at them wildly, others swung their swords, chopping above their heads.

But these strands, though visibly clear, couldn’t be touched in any form.

Bang!

The next second, the strands connected to their bodies tensed instantly.

Everyone’s movements stiffened as they stood still, like marionettes, maintaining the previous second’s posture.

Only their eyeballs, now filled with horror, could move.

Boom-boom-boom!

In the clouds, the lightning flashed, the thunder grew louder and more frequent.

The entire city, as if time had stopped, even the flapping wings of ostriches hung motionless in mid-air.

As the thunder grew louder and more frequent.

Crack-sizzle!

Strands of Thunder Snakes followed the connecting strands down.

Without any struggle or outcry, the small island remained silent.

Only silver snakes following the strands pierced the bodies of the pirates.

Slowly rising, wisps of blue smoke.

Swoosh!

The strands broke off instantly, retracting back into the sky.

And the pirates who had been bound, their bodies instantly lost control, slumping softly to the ground.

The entire city, still silent.

…

On the distant giant ship.

The heroes watched in astonishment at the scene that suddenly unfolded before them.

A fortified stronghold, armed to the teeth, had instantly turned into a ghost town.

The city walls lay bare, not a single defending soldier in sight.

Looking closer, you could see a few bodies lying on the cannons.

“This… it’s over?” Beata’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Then she turned back sharply, looking closely at Fang Hao.

She remembered that the man before her wasn’t that powerful.

How had he suddenly displayed such formidable strength?

“Yes.” Fang Hao nodded, then turned to those behind him and said, “Dock and enter the city. That Island Master might not be dead, so be careful during the search.”

“Yes!” Everyone replied, beginning to prepare.

This might have been the quickest battle yet.

From the moment Fang Hao summoned the storm clouds to the end of the battle.

It probably took just over ten minutes, including the time to confirm the names of the heroes in the city with the pirate captive before.

Whoosh~ Whoosh!

The giant ship swiftly moved forward, approaching the island.

The pirate ships that persisted on the sea no longer held on to the idea of resisting and began to turn away, only concerned with fleeing into the distance.

Huhh!!

As the giant ship neared, Beata took the lead and jumped off the deck, transforming into a dragon form and circling above the island.

Inspecting the situation inside the entire island.

Demitrija, the orc High Priest, and a group of heroes, with a large number of Skeleton infantry, opened the city gates and entered the city.

They began to clean up the battlefield and loot the spoils of war.

Escorted by the black-armored sisters, Fang Hao also entered the city.

Skeleton Warriors dragged the corpses, gradually piling up into mountains of bodies.

Piracy is a profession.

Here one could see the bodies of any race, living creatures, undead, and even some unseen, insect-like species.

It is unclear if these are races, or some sort of wild beasts.

The webs were indiscriminately connected at that time, so much so that even the poultry and rats on the streets were involved.

So, these insects might not necessarily be some kind of troop.

The architecture here is also very simple; there are no particular formal manors or Stone Castles, mostly buildings made of a mix of stone and wood.

Garbage can be seen everywhere, along with barrels and cups of wine, and some excrement.

Accompanied by the black-armored sisters, Fang Hao entered into the central building.

The arrangement here was quite decent, resembling a noble’s mansion.

At the back of the hall, there stood a black stone chair.

Fang Hao walked over and sat down.

System prompts immediately followed.

[Kez Fortress has become your subsidiary city. You can ‘rename’ the city here and command all resources of the city and its affiliated villages.]

Instantly, the information of occupying the city appeared.

The island is called Skeleton Island, but the city on it is called Kez Fortress.

Another rather tongue-twisting name for a city, not as easy to remember as Skeleton City or Skeleton Fortress.

After the system prompt.

He directly checked the city information.

[Kez Fortress]

[City Level: Thirteen level native city]

[Attributes: Extra Plundering +12%, Living Creatures Reproduction +5%, Facility Sturdiness +5%, Combat power +2%, Gathering/Processing +2%.]

(Description: A city with attributes can bring various beneficial effects to accelerate the city’s construction and development.)

The level of the pirates’ city was not low, having reached level thirteen.

When Fang Hao took over Lyss City, it was only level twelve.

But there were differences.

Lyss City belonged to a city, while this was a Fortress.

There’s nothing to compare.

The attached attributes of the city were numerous, but the bonuses were obviously not high.

Except for the extra plundering that increased by 12%, the rest were only 5% and 2%.

The bonuses were pitifully small.

With such low attribute bonuses, it could be converted into a transmigrator’s territory, turning it into a fortress.

It could also give the giant ship a place to dock.

He thought roughly in his mind.

System prompts appeared once again.

[Unlocked Blueprints: Sunken Ship Base Construction Blueprint (Blue), Swaying Targets Construction Blueprint (Blue), Bulwark Dockyard Construction Blueprint (Blue), Pirate Hovel Construction Blueprint (Green), Wave Brewery Construction Blueprint (Green), Happy Brothel Construction Blueprint (Green).]

The number of unlocked blueprints was not small.

But the quality was not very high, either blue or green.

It can’t be helped, a gathering place for pirates can’t possibly develop like a normal city.

To have so many types of buildings was already pretty good development.

Fang Hao began to quickly review the blueprints.

[Sunken Ship Base] is a pirate’s barracks blueprint.

It allows the recruitment of fifth-tier pirate sailors.

These are the same type of units as the previously captured ‘orc sailors.’

But the ones you recruit may not necessarily be orc sailors, but it will be related to your own faction.

If it’s a human faction, then human pirate sailors will be recruited; orcs will recruit orc pirates.

The advantage of this troop type is that they are good at naval combat and also possess strong swimming abilities.

[Swaying Targets] can recruit sixth-tier pirate shooters.

The name is a bit odd, uncertain what shooting has to do with swaying.

The characteristic of the troop type is also good at naval combat and has a basic understanding of firearms maintenance.

Like the pirate sailors, they are among the main troop types of pirates.

[Bulwark Dockyard] is a place for building and repairing ships.

For transmigrators, building ships can be done with blueprints, mainly it’s used for repairs.

The construction added a repair bonus, which is considered a pretty good building.

[Pirate Hovel] belongs to a type of transformational barracks.

It can directly train slaves and civilians into pirates.

To increase the number of pirates.

Type-wise, it’s more like the function of a mercenary gathering spot.

[Wave Brewery] is a brewery building.

The pirate faction has a stress value, even without combat, going out to sea for a while will increase stress value.

Once it reaches a certain level, it leads to running away, loss of control, or even mental breakdown.

The brewery can provide some stress relief.

This is a functional building within the faction.

[Happy Brothel] also provides stress relief.

Suitable men and women can be selected from among slaves, prisoners, and criminals to provide services inside.

To relieve stress for the pirates.

Not surprising, not just among the pirates here, but many places have brothels.

…

As soon as he had recorded the blueprints, Demitrija walked out from the outside.

“My Lord, we found slaves and some island residents in the dungeons and secret rooms.”

Slaves?

Residents?

Since when were there residents here!
