"Bone Spike! Attack!"
As Gu Xi fired the first shot of the attack, his Undead Army began to enter the area around the tower bridge.
Although not all of these undead were led by Undead Headman, Gu Xi had arranged their positions from the beginning.
The Bonecleaver Battalion at the forefront, followed by all the Skeleton Archer led by the Skeleton Archer Leader.
Battle Squad 1 and Battle Squad 2 were positioned slightly in front of Gu Xi, while the remaining miscellaneous soldiers were scattered at both ends, ready to charge together.
The Zombie were right next to Gu Xi's Evil Coffin. It wasn't that Gu Xi didn't want them to charge, but rather that they were too slow to make a significant impact.
Instead, the Ghost immediately took flight and pounced on the Ghoul Shadow from the sky.
They flew incredibly fast. Although the Skeleton Soldier were supposed to be the first to charge, the Ghost were the first to reach the enemy.
There are quite a few of these Ghost. In addition to the Ghost that Gu Xi originally obtained from the academy, there are also Ghost that disappeared while delivering goods, making a total of 52 people.
Their strength is also quite high. Even the Ghost obtained from the academy start at level 5, not to mention the Ghost that drifted away, who start at level 7.
As soon as these Ghost rushed out, they brought with them a thick, eerie wind. They didn't even bother to look for the level 2 or 3 Ghoul Shadow in front of them, but went straight for the Ghoul Shadow Head at the highest point on the bridge.
The Ghoul Shadow Head never expected that someone could hit him from the spot where he was standing.
Gu Xi had just launched a Bone Spike at him, and before he could even react to the Bone Spike attack, these Ghost were now lunging at him again.
This guy really doesn't see himself as a leader.
So what? Your level is higher than mine, but I'm a BOSS template. My health, attack, and defense are all higher than yours. What makes you think you can compete?
The enraged Ghoul Shadow Head screamed from the top of the bridge, and the black arms wrapped around his body instantly opened, revealing the most authentic part of his body.
Gu Xi then saw clearly that there were all sorts of things in the Ghoul Shadow. He could understand the centipede and the giant eye from before, but the one in front of him actually looked like a tree.
It should be a large tree similar to a mimosa plant, which usually curls itself up into a ball, but when needed, it can stretch out its body and double in size.
After spreading his arms wide, the Ghoul Shadow Head actually reached out to grab the Ghost flying towards him.
Such actions even made Gu Xi wonder if this Ghoul Shadow Head was brainless. Didn't he realize that all the Ghost flying towards him were stronger than him?
And yet they still wanted to catch the Ghost.
But the next moment, Gu Xi was stunned. These outstretched arms actually grabbed the Ghost that was floating by.
After capturing the Ghost, the Ghoul Shadow Head kept dragging Ghost toward himself, clearly intending to devour Ghost.
"Damn it, Bone Spike! Focus fire!"
Gu Xi was speechless at the sight. He released Bone Spike while ordering the Skeleton Archer Leader to focus fire.
The Skeleton Archer Leader also saw this situation. Although he didn't know what was going on with the Ghoul Shadow Head, under Gu Xi's orders, he still led his men to shoot arrows at the Ghoul Shadow Head.
But something else surprised Gu Xi: the Ghoul Shadow Head actually managed to deflect all the arrows with his nimble arms.
And he hasn't released those Ghost yet.
This situation left Gu Xi speechless. This was clearly not right. With such a large difference in level and numbers, how could he be being overwhelmed?
However, Gu Xi didn't have time to deal with this matter right now, because the Ghoul Shadow Head had gained the upper hand, boosting the morale of the Ghoul Shadow below. Those Ghoul Shadow who were only level 2 or 3 actually took the initiative to charge towards Gu Xi's team.
"Ignore them and focus your attack on the leader."
Gu Xi took one look at the situation before him and made his own judgment.
If we send all of Gu Xi's troops to defend against the charging Ghoul Shadow, the battle will end quickly, because the weakest of Gu Xi's Skeleton Soldier are now level 3, and they can defeat the Ghoul Shadow even in a one-on-one fight.
But so what? The key right now is this Ghoul Shadow Head.
Gu Xi didn't know what had gotten into him, that he was so difficult to fight. The arms on his body could attack and defend, he was just short of using magic.
In the current situation, if Gu Xi focuses on those smaller Ghoul Shadow, it would be tantamount to abandoning these 52 Ghost.
After killing the little Ghoul Shadow, Gu Xi had no choice but to turn around and have his men focus their fire on the Ghoul Shadow Head.
Rather than that, it would be better to concentrate all the fighting power on the Ghoul Shadow Head.
As for the soldiers who rushed over, Gu Xi didn't take them seriously at all.
[The Undead Tendrils]
[White Bone Storm]
Skeleton Priest
Gu Xi unleashed three spells in succession, and immediately a passage composed of skeletal arms and tentacles appeared in front of the Ghoul Shadow Battlefield.
The passage directly blocked the rushing Ghoul Shadow, turning their bodies completely covered in blue light.
The Ghoul Shadow slowed down and even collided with each other.
Even the two Ghoul Shadow Head who were mixed in with the Ghoul Shadow were affected.
Then countless White Bone Shards spread outwards from these Ghoul Shadow, each White Bone Shards like a Ghoul Shadow, slicing through their bodies and reaping their lives.
With just these two spells, Gu Xi managed to block all the approaching Ghoul Shadow.
As for the Skeleton Priest released at the end, that was Gu Xi's last support for his undead subordinates, because as Gu Xi held off the Ghoul Shadow Troop's attack alone, he no longer had the mind to look at the situation in other directions.
At this moment, Gu Xi was exerting all his magical power, continuously throwing wave after wave of White Bone Storm into the horde of Ghoul Shadow.
In order to better secure a position, he even rushed across the battlefield of the Undead Army and rushed to the front line of the battle. As the Evil Coffin moved, Gu Xi's spells never stopped for a moment.
Each spell will land precisely on the spot with the highest number of Ghoul Shadow.
At the same time, a series of messages kept popping up in Gu Xi's eyes.
[You defeated the Ghoul Shadow (Level 2), gaining 6 experience points (experience +5%, Level Cap, excess experience stored).]
You have defeated Ghoul Shadow (Level 2) and gained 11 experience points (experience +5%, Level Cap, and excess experience stored).
