Whoosh! Whoosh! Arrows flew, attacking the army of Lyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they knew of the ambush, several soldiers of Lyss City were still hit by the arrows amidst the confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crying out as they fell off their horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao's side also came under arrow attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay low on the floor of the wagon, surrounded by the sounds of arrows whizzing past and piercing the wagon's sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Overturn the supply wagons, prepare for a counterattack!\" Aseti shouted aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lionheart Knights overturned the supply wagons, leaning against them for cover against the flurry of arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Lionheart Knights began firing back into the bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they couldn't verify the enemy's location, they could still roughly judge it by the trajectory of the inbound arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each pull of the trigger, the knights were sending intimidating shots back at their hidden assailants\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a close range, the power of the rifles greatly surpassed the bow and arrows in the hands of their enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each shot fired...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shrill cries arose from the bushes, forcing the other party to stop shooting, wary of this new type of firearm hitting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrows and gunfire kept calling out to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Demitrija took a deep breath from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue energy gathered in his abdomen, then surged up through his chest to the throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a thick fog was expelled from Demitrija's mouth, rapidly spreading down the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It enveloped Lisbet's entire team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick fog surrounded the team on the road, also obscuring the enemy's vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whooshing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could hear the army in the fog incessantly shifting their positions, yet because of the obstruction to their vision, they could only blindly shoot arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these arrows entering the fog were like stones tossed into an abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no feedback, nor was there any sound of a hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anjia opened the carriage door and pulled out Fang Hao, both hiding behind the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This luxuriously decorated carriage could also fend off enemy arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also attracted the enemy's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back at his carriage, Fang Hao found it pitifully resembling a straw boat borrowing arrows, densely riddled with arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't been pulled out, with the enemy continuing to target the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This carriage probably wouldn't last long before it fell apart, scattering into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao leaned against a toppled supply carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demitrija came over and asked, \"Lord, are you all right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine, can you confirm the number of enemies?\" answered Fang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the high frequency of their arrows, the enemy was numerous and well-prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earlier accident of the caravan's carriage overturning was a trap set by the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The enemy's hiding places are too good; I can't confirm if there are others,\" Demitrija replied quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord, I can go scout,\" Lorrey volunteered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her special ability was reconnaissance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her ears were very sharp, allowing her to roughly estimate the enemies' numbers from their footstep sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether there were others still needed to be confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was preparing for counterattacks in the dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Fang Hao shook his head, \"No need to take such a risk, Lorrey, go grab my backpack from the carriage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lorrey quickly approached the carriage and retrieved Fang Hao's backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao took it and from it, he pulled out a skeletal grey sparrow and set it on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protect me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon saying this, Fang Hao closed his eyes and his body slumped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, a ghostly blue Soul Fire ignited in the hollow pupils of the skeletal grey sparrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the concealment of the fog, the skeletal grey sparrow quickly flew up into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching a certain height, it flew towards the dense forest from which the arrows came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying further into the forest, the enemy had yet to notice a skeletal grey sparrow leaving their formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they never imagined that someone would use this method for reconnaissance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sparrow smoothly flew into the dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below it was an orderly line of enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These enemies, dressed in different armors - leather, plate, appeared like a bandit gang hastily formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these differently dressed bandits bore the same tattoo on their bare arms and necks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The design resembled a noose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life-takers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Fang Hao was able to confirm the enemy's identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Life-takers that Ma Hong mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Hao was even more curious, Ma Hong had said that the Life-takers wouldn't dare touch official teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in the past years, they had never ambushed teams from Lyss City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did they suddenly appear here this year, setting an ambush as if they knew their route?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there a mole among them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Hao, still controlling the skeletal grey sparrow, continued to fly towards the back of the enemy formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, behind these archers were a large number of close-combat bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, low voices could be heard from below, \"Boss, the fog is too thick. If we accidentally shoot Rebecca, there goes our money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Fang Hao's heart was stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came for Rebecca!\u003C\u002Fp>",1518,"2026-05-30T09:05:51.865Z","2026-06-01T04:30:50.407Z",1,"novelbin.me","f1f53e1b3a45a5fb244ed7943f1a985748c03b5ca6b9998dc261cb408d5981b0","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-632","global-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-chapter-630",1483,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-lords-hundredfold-increments-starting-wit-cover.jpg"]
