Defense Battle Settlement

The average daily subscription has reached 1158. It feels so good to see the average daily subscription increase every day, which motivates me to write even more. Keep working hard! — "Hey! Gu Xi, comrade, can I take a look at this?"

Seeing Gu Xi take the skull fragment from beside the Skeleton Warhorse, Du Wushuang's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but ask a question.

"What, is this really useful?"

Without much thought, Gu Xi handed the Headless Knight Training Manual to Du Wushuang.

"Of course, you don't know how precious this thing is. After activating the talent at level 5, players will have to consider advancing to level 10. The next path for Death Knight is level 10 Dread Knight and level 20 Terror Knight."

However, the requirements for advancing to the rank of Dread Knight are too high. Putting everything else aside, the warhorse alone needs to reach Purple Quality, and having three level 10 Black Guards will drive everyone crazy.

Look at me, I'm almost level 5, and this is all the equipment I have. I don't even have a full set of armor, let alone enough to provide my Black Guards with a full set of weapons.

Such a method of advancement is right in front of us, yet it's impossible to get close to it.

This is another path to advancement, though not as orthodox as that of Dread Knight, it's still a path for Death Knight to advance, and I think many Death Knight aiming for level 10 would want to obtain it.

As Du Wushuang spoke, he reluctantly handed over the Headless Knight Training Manual.

"Keep this safe. This 'Headless Knight Training Manual' can be used at least five more times. If someone tries to buy you reading access, remember to ask for at least three Dragon Blood Crystal or Dragon Steel. Don't sell it cheaply."

"Good!"

Gu Xi knew the importance of this item, so instead of giving Du Wushuang a copy for free, he quietly put away the Headless Knight Training Manual.

At this moment, Du Wushuang seemed to have thought of something, and she said quite seriously, "If you have the chance, exchange this thing for something else. Don't even think about keeping it and forming your own Death Knight Legion or something."

If you really do that, all Death Knight players will consider you an enemy.

Gu Xi understands this point. As one of the player's classes, the Death Knight will never become a servant of the necromancer; it's a matter of dignity.

Even the Three Divine Skills cannot change this, and Gu Xi wouldn't be foolish enough to do such a thing.

"I know. By the way, is there anywhere that sells this in the Loose Immortal Garden? If not, I'll probably have to take it back to the guild and ask around."

"Yes, definitely," Du Wushuang said with considerable certainty. "After this battle is over, a small trade fair will be held at the tavern, where everyone will bring their spoils from the battle to trade."

"Just go there and ask."

Just as the two were talking, the Skeleton that Gu Xi had just transformed into had already cleaned up the battlefield.

Gu Xi didn't see anything else that caught his eye.

So Gu Xi waved his hand, and Luna dragged the Skeleton Warhorse back to Aryadovi City as well.

As for the Death Avatar, the battle is not over yet, and Gu Xi has not dismissed him, but simply let him hover in the sky.

Perhaps because of the suppression by the Death Avatar, for a period of time afterward, sounds of fighting and killing could be heard from time to time in the area near Gu Xi, but no more enemies appeared here.

Gu Xi and Du Wushuang spent more than an hour leisurely like this.

Only when a loud gong rang out did Du Wushuang happily take off his Helmet. "Alright, the battle is over! Hahaha, I made a fortune this time!"

Du Wushuang jumped for joy after taking off her Helmet, and Gu Xi then understood why Du Wushuang looked down on the Headless Knight's training methods.

The full suit of armor that Du Wushuang was wearing was about 1.7 meters tall, but after Gu Xi took off the Helmet, Gu Xi found that only the top of Du Wushuang's head was exposed, and her face was stuck in the neck of the armor.

Based on this height, Du Wushuang's height is probably only a little over 1.4 meters, close to 1.5 meters. If he were to transform into Headless Knight, Du Wushuang would probably have to drink at the children's table.

However, Du Wushuang only dared to take off her Helmet; she was too afraid to take off her full armor now.

At most, she would remove some of the nail plates on her neck to allow herself to breathe.

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from the southeast.

Several Death Knight in blue armor rushed over from that direction.

"Area Bing-6, report battle results and defense status. Necromancers can report battle losses, and lost soldiers will be returned at a rate of 75%."

Upon arriving before Gu Xi and the others, one of the Death Knight spoke loudly.

Du Wushuang was used to this kind of thing. As soon as he heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "We encountered two waves of attacks. The first wave consisted of two people, a Headless Knight and a Magic Alchemist. All the enemies were killed."

The second wave consisted of three enemies; two were killed, and one escaped.

"Regarding battle losses, Gu Xi, how much did you lose?"

"104 Skeleton Soldier, 18 Zombie, and 11 Ghost."

Gu Xi quickly gave a number.

This number was told to Gu Xi Luna when she went back.

Gu Xi originally thought he would have to bear the loss himself, but he didn't expect that Loose Immortal Garden could return the money proportionally.

Hearing the numbers Gu Xi reported, the Death Knight exchanged glances.

"So little?"

Gu Xi blinked, not understanding what this meant.

Is there a problem?

"No, your losses aren't that big. I just came from several other places, and the casualties there were several hundred men. How come you only lost so few, especially considering you went through two waves of battles?"

Upon hearing what the Death Knight said, Gu Xi understood. He pointed to the Death Avatar that was still hovering in the air.

"With that there, my losses won't be too great. If I hadn't fought the Raven Soldier this time, my losses probably wouldn't have exceeded three digits."

The Death Knight looked up and saw the black Bone Dragon in the black mist in the sky.

"This is... Death Avatar? Three Divine Skills necromancers?"

"You have good taste."

Gu Xi smiled smugly.

"I understand. I'll write this down for you. Since your losses are relatively small, we won't return the 75% percentage. We'll return the full amount directly. Here's Recruitment Order. You can recruit the corresponding number of troops in the Training Camp at Loose Immortal Garden."

Of course, they've just reached the required level; you'll have to figure out the weapons and equipment yourselves.

"Xiao Liu, how are things on your end?"

"It's been checked. The number of enemies is consistent with what they reported. There's no problem with the battle record," another Death Knight immediately replied.

"Then record it down. That's fine. This is your battle record. You can exchange it for the reward for this battle at the Barracks later."
