Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead - Chapter 418

Chapter 418: Chapter 387, Holy Light Cemetery _2

So first, let’s confirm if there is any danger behind that door.

As soon as Fang Hao finished speaking, two robust men hoisted Eric up, one on each side.

The group moved forward once again, stepping over corpses, and arrived directly at the next door.

The door was at the end of the cemetery.

No one had noticed that there was another door here because the wall was covered in dense vines.

“Clear these vines and check what’s behind the door!” Fang Hao continued.

His men drew their long swords from their belts.

They started slashing wildly at the vines on the wall.

Quickly, the door was cleared, revealing the motifs carved into it.

Apart from the religious symbols all around, there were also images of angels wielding swords and figures of singing human women etched into the stone door.

The image of the woman was very impressive. One could tell that the craftsman who carved it was very skilled.

Subconsciously, one of the young followers touched the bas-relief a few times.

[Holy Light Cemetery].

Four words were carved at the top of the stone door.

Another burial ground.

However, from the exquisite carvings on the door, one could tell that the Holy Light Cemetery and the Glory Cemetery were obviously of different grades.

“Open the door!”

Several followers stepped forward and forcefully pushed the stone door open.

Accompanied by the sound of stone slabs rubbing against each other, the door slowly opened.

…

As the stone door gradually opened.

The scene behind the door came into view.

The expressions on everyone’s faces turned from curiosity to surprise bit by bit.

In front of them was a standalone cemetery.

Although it was not as big as the cemetery on the outside.

But the structure of the cemetery was quite magnificent, and rather than looking like an abandoned graveyard.

It seemed more like a park filled with a sacred aura.

Behind the stone door was an archway leading to the depths of the Holy Light Cemetery.

Several arches connected to form a long corridor, with a variety of plants climbing all over them.

On either side of the archway, there were various elegant female stone sculptures.

Some hold books and ceremonial items in their hands, while some held harps and sang aloud.

“Damn, this place is better than our stronghold,” a follower said subconsciously.

The Gray Bear turned around and kicked this follower who couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

He cursed in a cold voice, “This is a cemetery. If you don’t shut up, you might as well consider this your new home.”

“Hehe, I was just kidding…”

“Boss, let’s take these statues back. They look nice.”

“Yeah, these women are much better looking than those streetgirls in the West District.”

“Impressively big…”

The bandits whispered to each other as they took in the scene around them.

There was absolutely no sense of tension despite the imminent battle.

…

At the end of the corridor stood a colossal stone stele.

Although the inscription on the stele was covered in vines, it could be established that the owner of this stele held a high position.

“It seems like there’s no enemy in here!” Anjia peeked in.

If there was any enemy, they would have launched an attack as soon as the door opened.

The calm and peaceful aura inside starkly contrasted the bodies littered outside.

Yet just as Anjia finished speaking.

Demitrija from the side put forth a contrasting opinion.

“If there wasn’t any danger, this place would have been taken over by the white monkeys, and it wouldn’t have been kept this well.”

Upon hearing this, everyone realized something was off.

The white monkeys outside demonstrated considerable combat power.

There were also quite a lot of them. If there weren’t any dangers inside, the white monkeys would have occupied and ruined it long ago.

The magnificent elegance that they saw wouldn’t exist.

Fang Hao thought this reasoning was valid.

“I’ll go check it out first, protect me.” Fang Hao said and then sat down next to them.

He opened his backpack and let out the skeletal sparrow he was carrying.

After casting God’s Presence, he controlled the undead bird and flew into the Holy Light Cemetery behind the stone door.

The bird darted through the long, narrow arch corridor.

Both sides were lined with maid statues. Nothing seemed to change.

However, when the bird flew up to take a bird’s eye view of the cemetery.

A thought crossed Fang Hao’s mind.

Enemies…indeed.

At an unseen location near the stone door entrance along the outer corridor.

Arranged are humanoid stone figures.

But these stone figures are far from the artistic sculptures full of artistic flair found at the door.

They are, instead, constructs.

[Stone Monster Construct Warrior (Tier 5)]

[Stone Monster Construct Lancer (Tier 5)]

In Little You’s ancient tomb, Fang Hao had encountered these kinds of mechanical constructs wrapped in heavy stone armour.

Ordinary skeleton warriors, hacking and slashing at it with swords and blades.

Would only create a shower of sparks, their defence was extraordinarily high.

He quickly took a count.

Below, 22 stone construct figures were set up, all stationary, their bodies covered in dust and plant growth.

Perhaps due to exposure to the air.

Fang Hao inspected them one by one, but could not find the figure of any Iron Monster Construct.

He continued controlling the Skeleton Sparrow to fly deeper.

As he neared the stele.

Fang Hao’s pupils constricted once more.

On either side of the stele, there were four female constructs completely made of metal, kneeling.

The reason they’re referred to as females.

Is because these four constructs, unlike those towering, heavy Iron Monster Constructs, have figures closer to humans, with feminine waistlines.

If it weren’t for the properties he saw, Fang Hao would have thought that they were four real women, donning armor while kneeling.

[Valkyrie Construct (Tier 10)]

Damn!

Fang Hao cursed inwardly, who in the world was buried here.

To actually arrange for Tier 10 constructs to serve as guards.

After flying a full round of the cemetery without finding any other dangers, he flew back.

With God’s Presence dismissed, Fang Hao also snapped back to reality.

“How is it?” Anjia curiously asked.

“Indeed, there are dangers. 22 tier 5 Stone Construct figures and 4 tier 10 constructs called Valkyries are set up inside. It is not clear if there are other dangers,” Fang Hao shared his findings with the others.

After hearing Fang Hao’s words.

The two heroes did not show any reaction.

However, the faces of Gray Bear and his gang changed color.

While they didn’t know what constructs were, hearing about 22 Tier 5 and Tier 10 enemies made their faces turn ugly.

There were just 23 of them this time, including the two Bone Dragons, that made 25.

Given the number of enemies, they would have to fight them one on one.

Most of the gang members were only at tier 3 or 4, nowhere near a match for these constructs.

Chaos broke out in the rear ranks for a moment.

Fang Hao naturally understood everyone’s worries.

He would act according to his ability, if it turned out too risky to fight with their current manpower.

He would not dare to make an unwise move.

Just wait until he could call in the White Bone Army, those constructs would be nothing, not to mention the cemetery that could be completely flattened by them.

“Do you think we can win with our group? What’s our probability of winning?” Fang Hao looked at the two heroes in front of him.

“We can fight.” Anjia said firmly, but without a reason.

Demitrija thought for a moment and said, “My lord, I agree with Miss Anjia. In these circumstances, we can’t be sure about the integrity of the constructs’ functions. If they’re all still operational, we can set some traps and obstacles in advance to reduce the number of constructs.”

Constructs are indeed good cemetery guards.

They have no life and are eternal guards.

However, they are also influenced by the environment.

If the environment is too damp or full of dust, or if its internal parts get damaged, constructs can still be damaged.

In an underground ancient tomb like the one Little You had, the conditions for preservation might be a bit better.

In their current situation, there were even plants growing in the joints of the constructs.

It was difficult to determine how many of them could still be operational.

Listening, Fang Hao suddenly thought of the Quicksand Trap Magic Scroll that he had just obtained when he heard Demitrija mention setting traps.

Could this be a preparation made in advance by the Dragon Scale Mercenary Group?

…

Fang Hao thought for a while.

It seemed like they could give it a try.

Looking at the nearby Eric, who was snoring and sleeping soundly.

He said: “Find a complete coffin, and hide him inside.”
