Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Seeing the task appear, Fang Hao's eyes widened.

The task came somewhat unexpectedly.

Just a second ago, he was pondering the relationships between races and the threats posed by gods, when suddenly this task popped up.

He guessed that just as Savana and the Elf Prince had entered their bridal chamber, they were interrupted by the system prompt.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Hao reopened the Book of Lords and closely examined the recorded prompt.

The name of the task is Lost Battlefield.

Any task with the word "battlefield" in it is generally combat-related.

Either it is an army battle or a siege battle.

However, this time is somewhat different.

Previously, the battlefields were individual battles with the task enemies, more like playing a single-player game, fighting against enemies in the system space.

But the content of this task is factional combat.

According to the task description, lords can freely choose their factions.

One is the Guardian faction, defending the city and protecting a god's revival, and the other is the attacking side.

This is forcing transmigrators to fight among themselves.

When transmigrators were first transported here, life was harsh, and infighting was quite severe.

Now, as things have gradually developed, peace has been somewhat achieved.

Any bad situations exposed in the channels would instantly ruin one's reputation.

Being cursed in writing isn't too bad, but having a group of people rally their forces to attack you is unbearable.

So now, the relationship between transmigrators is mostly peaceful.

Now, the system has started to introduce a factional task.

No one has a good temper; if you finish fighting in the task and go out, it's hard to say there won't be grudges.

Below the task, there are options showing "Guardian faction" and "Rebellion faction," indicating a choice can be made.

Fang Hao looked at them but wasn't eager to choose.

Instead, he opened the regional channel to have a look.

Discussion topics that were previously about the Elf Clan wedding have all turned into discussions about the task.

"PvP battlefield has appeared, it's a big transmigrator brawl."

"After death, you will re-enter spectator mode, same as last time, hope they didn't disable the live broadcast feature for the big shots."

"Did you guys notice that this time it doesn't mention carrying troops and holding cities?"

"Damn, are they going to make us engage in hand-to-hand combat?"

"Did previous tasks mention this? Death penalties included hero and troop penalties, so we should be able to bring troops in, right?"

"Previous tasks all mentioned troops and cities."

Fang Hao watched everyone chatting and was also stunned.

He looked back at the task description and noticed the details mentioned by the others.

Previous battlefield campaigns would mention the "city" being transported to the task space and heroes and troops needing to be within the city's range.

Back then, for this rule, he had even sent out Eira and the Skeleton craftsmen.

Now looking at it, this task indeed did not mention this.

Are they really going to let transmigrators from both factions fight it out?

That wouldn't be a Lord's task anymore, and what could transmigrators even do.

Most transmigrators have low combat abilities, even swinging a sword could end up cutting their own throat.

Letting transmigrators fight is probably going to be difficult.

Looking back at the Book of Lords, people had already begun discussing their factional choices.

"Obviously we should choose the Guardian faction, getting cozy with a god can't be wrong."

"You're mistaken, from the task description it's clearly a plot about mortals rebelling against a god, of course, we must fight for justice."

"Your mom... it's just a task, defending the city is easier, if we really don't have troops and heroes, who among transmigrators can attack a city."

"The Guardian faction will probably have more people and should be easier, but if everyone chooses the side of justice—"

"I ***... who the hell are you talking to!"

Seeing that an argument was about to start here, Fang Hao switched to the world channel.

The screen was scrolling with dense messages.

Here, it's absolutely impossible to indulge in insults; once you send out a message, you don't even know who you're insulting.

Fang Hao pressed down on the scrolling screen and read carefully.

The discussions are all pretty similar, divided into two major factions, analyzing the pros and cons.

But the only difference is.

Constantly, people were spamming in the name of Savana, urging more people to choose the Guardian faction.

To defend the city and repel foreign enemies together.

If troops and heroes aren't brought into the task space, then defending the city is actually a stronger position.

Let transmigrators try scaling a siege ladder.

They'll turn around and give you a beating.

Ding~ Ding Ding!

Soon, the private chat notification rang.

Aerygon, Li Rong, Dong Jiayue, and others all sent messages in succession.

"Mr. Fang Hao, which faction are you choosing?"

"Brother Hao, which faction are we going with? We might run into each other."

"Boss..."

Everyone was asking about the same thing, all concerning the choice of faction.

Fang Hao first replied to Aerygon, "Didn't Savana invite you?"

Aerygon, "She did invite me. All her people are choosing the Guardian faction, believing it will be easier to clear the task."

As expected, the ones promoting the Guardian faction in the world channel were Savana's people.

You're married but not rolling in bed, still worrying about these things.

Is your competitive spirit that strong?

Fang Hao thought about it, the choice of faction, of course, couldn't be the same as hers.

Otherwise, there would be disagreements on who should command, part listening to her and part to himself, which could hinder the completion of the task.

It would be better to directly choose the opposing faction.

If there really are no troops or heroes, it would be bad news for ordinary transmigrators.

But for his own level 6 god, it's actually good news, and the task might be simpler.

After thinking it over, he sent a message to everyone, "Choose the Rebellion faction, inform all your subordinates to choose the Rebellion faction. When the time comes, let's avoid hitting our own people."

Aerygon: "Okay."

Dong Jiayue: "Received..."

"..."

Everyone responded with a chorus of "Received."

Fang Hao also directly chose the second option 'Rebel Faction'.

[Faction Selection Completed. You will be transported to the Task Space in 11 hours and 25 minutes.]

The countdown was the same as before.

There is always some time given for preparation, whether to purchase equipment or stockpile some potions, make sure everything is ready.

Don't start only to realize you have nothing.

After instructing a few subordinate lords, he rose from his throne.

He didn't go to soak in hot springs with Eira, nor did he go to discipline the Succubus.

Instead, he headed straight for the barracks area.

...

The night was hazy, lit by the glow of Nightstone.

Halfway there, he coincidentally encountered the Dragon Queen wandering about at night.

"Where are you going?" the Dragon Queen asked casually.

"Going to the barracks to recruit some troop types, what are you doing here?" Fang Hao looked at her.

The Dragon Queen walked over slowly, "Is something the matter?"

Walking side by side towards the barracks area, Fang Hao replied, "The transmigrator's task has arrived."

"Isn't that a good thing!"

In the eyes of the Dragon Queen, a transmigrator's task was a great opportunity to earn rewards.

As long as you participate, you can always get some benefits after you come out.

"Don't even mention it, this time it might not be possible to bring heroes and troop types with me." Fang Hao briefly explained the situation to her.

Meaning that he needed to undertake the task by himself tomorrow, and that she needed to look after the main city in his absence.

She didn't have to make any decisions; if enemies appeared, she would just need to deal with them.

The Dragon Queen nodded, "Okay."

The two arrived in front of the Blessing Archer Tomb and opened the building page.

[Blessed Longbowman: 10 Lost Ancient Stones, 12 Tiger Talismans, 10 Death Traces, 5 Star Silver.]

Fang Hao immediately checked the supply of Lost Ancient Stones.

972 pieces.

Lost Ancient Stones differ from Tiger Talismans.

Tiger Talismans can be dropped by killing ordinary soldiers, or even wild beasts and bandits.

Lost Ancient Stones, however, need to be obtained from chests in the event 'Relics of Gods'.

That is to say, to have Lost Ancient Stones, one must take part in battles that are of demigod level or higher.

These are materials previously obtained from chests in 'Relics of Gods'.

They are hard to come by, and you can't just use them all at once.

After some thought.

He adjusted the recruitment number to 400.

Confirmed the recruitment.

[Hundredfold Amplification Triggered, 40,400 Blessed Longbowmen recruited.]

A force of forty thousand was also not too small.

It was enough to create an arrow rain for suppression.

A sea of light bloomed, and myriad White Bone archers appeared in front of him.

Unlike the Thunder Gunners of the Dwarves, the bone structure of these longbowmen was more like a human's.

Only their arms were incredibly long, reaching below their knees.

It's unclear if such long arms are advantageous for archery or serve some special purpose.

He made all the longbowmen exit the city gates, then created the corresponding number of 'Eye-Pecking Bows' along with archer sets that couldn't keep up with the level of the troops.

After everything was set up, he allowed the troops to enter the Troop Hiding Cave before returning to the Lord's Mansion.

However, his original plan to train the Succubus was disrupted, as he was pulled by the Dragon Queen to chat in the pavilion all night.

...

The next morning.

After breakfast, Fang Hao started preparing early.

His Demon Dragon Battle Armor, Storm Longbow, Thunderhawk Blade, Revolver, and a large amount of bullets.

Especially the revolver.

This time, there was a high chance of encountering allies, so he brought more revolvers.

If it really comes down to transmigrators fighting to the death, having a revolver could provide a significant sense of security.

He went over everything with Eira, the Dragon Queen, and the others once again.

Then he sat upon his throne, waiting for the system time to arrive.

Time slowly ticked away.

When the hands of his golden wristwatch pointed to eight o'clock, a system prompt sounded in his ear.

[Lost Battlefield, the task begins!]

[You are being transferred to the Task Space.]

Whoosh~!

His vision blurred, and when it cleared up, he was no longer in the Lord's Mansion but rather found himself in an unfamiliar space.

Fang Hao immediately checked his surroundings.

Indeed, the main city didn't come, the troops didn't come, and the Dragon Queen who had been by his side didn't come along either.

Only he stood there, alone on the ground.

As expected, the meticulous analysis in the channel was right; the task didn't mention troop types, so it really didn't bring the troops and heroes along.

This truly was a battle where transmigrators had to fight hand-to-hand.

Absolutely terrifying!

At that moment, the system prompt sounded again.

[You have entered the Lost Battlefield.]

[Rebels Faction: Please gather your scattered compatriots, pass through the heavily guarded fortress, and prevent the Revival of the deities.]

[During the task, trading and shop functions are disabled.]

[Task Countdown: 7 hours 59 minutes...]
