A Sudden Battle

Seeing the old man busy himself, Gu Xi felt a little awkward. Where was he supposed to go next? Just stay here and watch?

Or is he already free to leave?

Just as Gu Xi was filled with confusion, two more players emerged from the underground city.

The two players were dressed very differently; one looked like a miner, while the other was dressed in heavy armor, like a defender of the city.

They quickly approached the old man.

"City Lord, has the army been sent over?"

Before the person even arrived, the heavily armored man had already started grumbling.

The old man was directing two Ghost Squad to their designated positions when he saw him approaching. The old man spoke to him rudely.

"You're only thinking about your little things. Look, those Heavy Armor Zombie are for you. Isn't that enough?"

"Enough! I knew the City Lord wouldn't forget me. You don't know, City Lord, ever since you transferred my troops, those Dragon Whelp over there have been quite unruly."

"You talk too much." The old man glanced at the heavily armored player. "Go, go, go, divide up the troops. Wu Qian didn't come. Liu Su, you help take the Light Archer Legion assigned to him over there."

"Okay," replied a player dressed like a miner.

The two of them quickly led the remaining three troops aside.

They didn't look at Gu Xi even once throughout the entire process, and the old man made no attempt to introduce them to Gu Xi.

In the eyes of these players, Gu Xi was just a comrade who was temporarily sent to the army. After leaving, Gu Xi would leave, and there was no guarantee that he would have the chance to come to the Loose Immortal Garden again.

No matter how good their relationship with Gu Xi was, it was useless.

This will only waste your energy.

Wouldn't it be better for them to use that time to do something they want to do?

This situation made Gu Xi somewhat embarrassed. Just as he was considering how to suggest leaving, the ground suddenly began to shake.

Gu Xi heard heavy drumbeats coming from above.

The old man's expression changed. "Here we go again."

After speaking, the old man looked around and found that Gu Xi was still standing there. He thought for a moment and then said to Gu Xi, "Comrade, there is a battle going on up there. We are short-handed at the Loose Immortal Garden. Why don't you come and help us out?"

Don't worry, you won't be working for nothing. You'll receive plenty of supplies.

Besides, those shameless bastards are attacking again now. Even if you wanted to quit the game, it's too late. Just consider it earning some extra cash.

"Okay, who should I report to?"

Gu Xi didn't mind participating in the battle. As a necromancer, any major battle was a good opportunity for him to level up, and the old man's words were exactly what Gu Xi wanted to hear.

"Take the elevator up and report directly to Captain Wood. He will arrange everything. I have other things to take care of, so I won't keep you any longer."

As the old man spoke, he escorted Gu Xi back to the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, Gu Xi noticed that the Ghost the Yin Wind Battalion and Ghost Qi Battalion that he had sent earlier had all flown to the tall Stone Pillar in the underground space.

With their arrival, the number of light spots swirling around the Stone Pillar increased significantly, and the Soul Crystal on the ceiling became much brighter, with some areas even turning a bright purple, unlike the dark purple they had before.

Gu Xi figured it out: these Ghost were used to suppress the corpses of the scattered immortals above the Stone Pillar. Before he arrived, the area had been affected, the number of troops used for suppression had decreased, and the aura emanating from the corpses of the scattered immortals was somewhat out of control.

He sent over 5,000 troops to suppress the Loose Immortal Garden.

As for the White Walkers outside, they didn't really take them seriously. Perhaps in their eyes, any player could easily defeat them.

Gu Xi wanted to take one more look, but the elevator doors had already closed, cutting off Gu Xi's view.

Gu Xi was quickly taken back to the small house where she started by the elevator. Before she even opened the door, Gu Xi heard the urgent drumbeats coming from outside.

"Hurry up, everyone hurry up! Raise the battle flags and unleash all the troops. We don't need to wait for when to use them."

Amidst the drumbeats, a voice echoed throughout the entire city.

Even Gu Xi, inside the small house, could hear it all clearly.

Hearing this sound, Gu Xi tensed up. Without thinking, he pushed the door open and went out.

In the chaotic crowd, Gu Xi grabbed a necromancer player who was running away.

"Hey comrade, I want to ask where Wood is. I need to go and report to Wood."

The player who was being held back by Gu Xi looked Gu Xi up and down. "You're the transport team that sent the troops, right? I don't have time to deal with you right now. You should find a place to hide first, and we'll talk about it after this battle is over."

After saying that, the player shook off Gu Xi's hand and ran off in one direction.

"Hey, wait a minute, I can join the fight too."

Before Gu Xi could stop the player, the player had already disappeared.

Frustrated, Gu Xi turned his gaze to other players, but no matter where he looked, no one paid him any attention.

Finally, one veteran player couldn't stand it anymore and said to Gu Xi as he passed Gu Xi.

"Don't make things difficult for them. Wood's orders are strict, and they won't dare to talk to you much. If you want to join, go find Wood over there."

After speaking, the veteran player pointed Gu Xi in a direction.

Following the direction pointed out by the veteran player, Gu Xi discovered that under a huge flagpole thirty meters high, stood a Strong Man over Mido tall.

He wore thick plate armor Grade A+ with gold and silver Skull Flower. In one hand he held a staff taller than himself, and in the other a shield.

For a moment, Gu Xi couldn't figure out whether he was a necromancer or Death Knight.

Around him, a large number of ravens circled, and he would occasionally say a few words to the ravens, instructing them to go down and relay orders.

At this moment, the Strong Man also saw Gu Xi. He glared at him and said, "What are you still standing there for? Get back to your place."

"Um, I'm here to transport troops. We just handed over the troops. Where should I go next?"

"You've brought troops here. Oh, you're that little guy who just entered the city, right? How many troops do you have now? I'll arrange a place for you."

"There are still over four hundred people, but I..."

"That's too few, fine." Gu Xi was interrupted by the Strong Man before he could finish speaking. "Go to Area Bing-6, 400 soldiers should be enough. I don't care what method you use, if you hold that place, I'll give you credit."

After this battle is over, come to me, and you will receive all the rewards you deserve.

After saying that, the Strong Man waved his hand, and a raven flew to Gu Xi.

"Go with Raven to Area Bing-6 first. If there are any new orders, I'll have Raven deliver them to you."

After saying that, the Strong Man ignored Gu Xi and went back to directing the other players.
