In the shouts of battle, the Gnolls launched their attack.
They stretched out their battle line, lining up like a long, horizontal dragon.
As long as they set aflame the forest, their mission would be complete. The fire would wipe out those damned spiders.
As they drew closer to the dense forest, the Gnolls yelled in frenzied excitement.
At a hundred meters distance from the forest, they could even see the tense figures of the spiders within.
However, the attacking Gnolls suddenly felt a shadow fall over the sky.
Looking up curiously, they saw several gigantic Bone Dragons blotting out the sky, swooping down towards them.
Bone Dragons?
The Gnolls rubbed their eyes.
Were they seeing things?
How could they see a pack of Bone Dragons flying towards them?
When they opened their eyes again to confirm, they found that it wasn’t a hallucination, but several Bone Dragons really were flying towards them.
The Gnolls’ roars changed from excitement to screams of terror.
Roar!!
The Bone Dragons swooped down, releasing a beam of black energy.
The long, thin battle line became the Bone Dragons’ target.
The Dragon Breath of death swept across the battle line, turning the affected Gnolls into white skeletons amidst agonizing struggles.
The Gnoll formations devolved into panic.
Under the might of the Bone Dragons, the morale instantly plummeted.
They outright dropped their weapons and scattered in all directions.
After one round of Dragon Breath, the Bone Dragons couldn’t unleash a second round.
Yet, they swooped around to the rear of the Gnolls, blocking the Gnolls’ escape route.
Meanwhile.
In the forest, Domina also received the order transmitted by the Skeleton Sparrow.
She immediately led her troops out of the forest and slaughtered the fleeing Gnolls.
On the Gnoll’s rear.
The four Gnolls carrying the palanquin had gone weak at the knees, and the Gnoll Clan Leader fell directly from the palanquin.
Scrambling up awkwardly, he immediately tried to run in the opposite direction.
He didn’t understand why Bone Dragons would appear here and he didn’t have time to ponder over it.
His only thought now was to run, to run as far as he could.
But the next moment, Bone Dragons fell from the sky, and several tall White Bone Warriors jumped down from them.
They directly blocked the Gnoll’s escape route.
Spiderlings came killing from the front, while the Undead came from the rear. The Gnolls were truly caught between a rock and a hard place.
The battle ended.
In the battlefield, there were only two to three hundred Gnolls left.
Their hands and feet were bound by white spider silk, kneeling down obediently on the ground.
The captured Gnolls had looks full of terror and confusion.
With their intelligence, they totally couldn’t understand the current situation.
Spiderlings, Orcs, Undead, all gathered together, and they were taking orders from a human.
What on earth was going on?
Why would these races be gathered together?
“Why didn’t you kill them?” Domina strode over, asking.
As for these damned Gnolls, Domina wished she could kill them all on the spot.
Or kept them as food for the Queen Giant Spider.
Fang Hao glanced at her but didn’t explain anything.
His gaze fell on a Gnoll in the middle, who was wearing blue jeans and a golden watch on his wrist.
“Bring him over.”
The Skeleton Troll stepped forward, picked up the Gnoll leader, and threw him in front of Fang Hao.
“Are you the leader?” Fang Hao asked.
“Uh, no, not uh, not me.” The Gnoll hastily denied it.
“Not you? Alright, then kill him.”
“No, no, I am, I am the leader.” The Gnoll leader quickly corrected.
Fang Hao gave a cold huff, warning, “If you have any brains at all, don’t try to play games with me. Or else, you know the consequences.”
The Gnoll swallowed hard, then nodded, “Yes, yes, I understand.”
“How many are left in your camp?”
“Over a hundred people.” This time, the Gnoll answered promptly.
“You’re lying….”
“No, no, it’s true. We brought nearly everyone out this time deal with the spiders, leaving only a few behind to guard the camp,” the Gnoll said hastily.
He was terrified that Fang Hao might kill him without listening to his explanation.
Or worse yet, hand him over to those spiders, which would ensure an even more gruesome death.
Fang Hao nodded, it didn’t seem like he was lying.
“Where did you get the pants and the watch?” Fang Hao’s gaze fell on the watch on its wrist.
The golden metal watch strap should have fetched quite a price in the society of yore.
The Gnoll glanced at its own pants, wiped the beads of sweat from its forehead, and said, “I stole them from a human.”
“And the human?”
“You mean, that human?” The Gnoll swiveled his eyeballs, and answered, “I don’t know, he ran away.”
Fang Hao did not continue questioning.
The chance for a human to escape after even his pants were stolen was slim. Considering the Gnolls’ behaviour, the fate of the human was probably grim. Even now, transmigrators die every day from a variety of fates.
Such events were no longer novel.
What everyone needed to do was ensure that they had enough strength to survive.
“I need you to convince the remaining Gnolls to surrender, can you do this?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
The Gnoll felt a bone-chilling fear as the human asked this calmly.
Just now, when talking about the looted human belongings, he could clearly feel this human was contemplating killing him.
“Yes, yes I can.” The Gnoll nodded urgently, kowtowing on the ground.
Fang Hao nodded and said in a low voice, “Domina.”
“Sir.” Domina stepped forward. Her tone remained calm, but she addressed him respectfully now.
“Keep these Gnolls under guard, I want them alive, understand?” Fang Hao reminded.
Domina’s eyes narrowed slightly, her expression somewhat hesitant.
“Did you understand my order!”
“Yes, sir, they will be safe,” she confirmed.
“Hmm.”
Fang Hao nodded, stood up from his stone seat, “Bring him with us, to the
Gnoll camp.”
After the group mounted the Bone Dragon, the Skeleton Troll lifted the trembling Gnoll leader.
The Bone Dragon shot into the sky, flying towards the Gnoll camp.
Five minutes later.
They arrived at the Gnoll’s camp.
It resembled a ramshackle refugee camp, yet its scale was still considerable.
It fitted the potential size of a thousand Gnolls.
The Bone Dragon landed in front of the camp.
The Gnoll leader loudly shouted, “Open the gate, we have guests.”
The camp’s gate opened and the Gnolls left behind peeked their heads out, puzzlingly looking at the towering undead beside their leader.
Didn’t the leader lead a team to clear out the spiders? Why did he come back with so many undead?
“Sir, please….” the Gnoll leader groveled and flattered.
He acted like a spinelessly loyal lackey.
“Have all your men come out and gather at the gate,” Fang Hao commanded. “Ah? Oh!” The Gnoll leader began calling his tribe members to assemble outside.
Very soon!
The remaining Gnolls gathered outside the gate in tight bondage and were taken into guard.
“Anjia, take some people and raid the place. Take all valuables,” Fang Hao ordered.
The Gnoll camp was like a refugee camp.
It was unlikely they had many valuable things.
“Yay!” Anjia cheered, scurrying into the camp alongside Lorrey.
The Skeleton Trolls began to knock down the shanties inside the camp.
Leather and metal were carried out, along with various supplies that were piled up outside the gates.
Meanwhile, Anjia and Lorrey came out carrying a silver treasure chest.
Throwing it at Fang Hao’s feet, they ran back into the camp to continue scavenging.
Fang Hao opened it directly.
