As Luna began to annex the Upper District, Gu Xi noticed a force carrying the Undead Aura surging from his position along the bridge that had just been destroyed towards the Upper District.

As the Undead Aura surged past, the numerous uncollected Ghoul Qi Bead on the bridge surface rapidly transformed in front of Gu Xi, turning into crystals of Negative Energy.

At the same time, the decorative style of the bridge surface also changed, with Skeleton statues beginning to appear on the floor of the tower bridge.

The conversion process was initially slow, but it accelerated dramatically as Gu Xi's Undead Army returned from the Upper District.

Standing on the bridge, Gu Xi watched the returning Undead Army, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Clean up the battlefield. All the soldiers with evil energy... no, all the soldiers with Negative Energy can get 10%, the Battle Squad can get 10%, and the rest are all handed over to me."

Upon hearing this, the undead soldiers immediately transformed from Combat Troops into laborers.

They were quite familiar with this transformation, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with picking up some things and cleaning up the battlefield.

At this moment, Gu Xi took a few steps forward.

The tower bridge in front of us is different from ordinary bridges; there is a square defensive tower in the very middle of the bridge.

This part is somewhat similar to the Boundary Tower that Gu Xi attacked last time, but it is obviously smaller.

The strongest Ghoul Shadow Head was standing at the very top of the defensive tower before jumping down after being attacked by Gu Xi.

When Gu Xi attacked the Ghoul Shadow team, he also hit the defensive tower.

However, there were no defenses set up at the turret, and even the door inside the turret was open, allowing a clear view of what was behind it.

After the Ghoul Shadow Head was killed in battle, Gu Xi's men all rushed to the Upper District. He didn't rush to enter the defensive tower to investigate.

Now that all his troops had returned, Gu Xi became interested in the defensive tower. He picked up the Cold Wind Staff and walked towards the tower.

You are approaching an abandoned Tower Bridge. What will you do with the bridge: occupy it or abandon it?

Looking at the instructions in front of him, Gu Xi was not surprised at all. He had actually seen the prompt to take down the bridge when he killed all the Ghoul Shadow on the bridge.

However, Gu Xi was somewhat puzzled at the time, wondering why there was no option to destroy this place among the choices this time.

After thinking it over carefully on the tower bridge, Gu Xi realized that while other places could be destroyed, the tower bridge was actually quite difficult to destroy.

If this bridge were destroyed, the connection between Aryadovi and the Upper District would be severed, and Gu Xi would have to spend time and effort rebuilding it.

Now that the undead have retreated, Gu Xi no longer has the intention of waiting. After directing the undead to pack up their belongings, Gu Xi turned his attention to the Undead Headman.

"Occupy the position, deploy Battle Squad... Huh?"

Gu Xi also planned to send a Battle Squad into the defense tower and use it as their base.

Unexpectedly, a problem arose at this step.

The intelligence report clearly stated that the bridge could be converted into a base after it was captured, so why did this message pop up?

[Please select the intended use of the bridge after Tower Bridge: Training Camp, Treasure Room, Prison, or Regular Bridge!]

What's going on?

Didn't we agree on the location of the Barracks? Two border defense stations, two barracks, Gu Xi had already arranged the locations when he came.

At that time, there will be a battalion of Skeleton Soldier carrying Long Spear and a battalion of Skeleton Archer.

It turned out that this place wasn't converted into Barracks.

Gu Xi was now somewhat bewildered.

After a moment of shock, Gu Xi had no choice but to accept it. He couldn't just give up the bridge, could he? Now Gu Xi could only accept whatever they offered.

So Gu Xi quickly checked the four options.

Of these four options, the ordinary bridge is definitely not the one to choose. He fought for so long and excitedly chose to occupy this place, not to leave behind an ordinary bridge.

So if he weren't brain-dead, he wouldn't have made such a choice.

Of the remaining three options, the prison is the one that Gu Xi the most incomprehensible.

Does this mean they want to lock people on the bridge? But where would they lock them up?

No, Gu Xi shook his head. Why was he thinking about this? Shouldn't he be considering that he didn't have anyone under his command who could be imprisoned? So Gu Xi immediately abandoned the option of imprisonment.

The Training Camp and the treasure room are both reasonable options.

Since there were no other hints, Gu Xi was unable to determine what kind of Training Camp.

However, given the situation in Aryadovi City over the long term, the only clue that could be found is unlikely to be some kind of eerie Training Camp; rather, it's more likely to be Training Camp for the undead.

Most importantly, this is a large plot of land. If we don't use it for Training Camp, wouldn't it be a waste to use it as a treasure room?

With this thought in mind, Gu Xi already had an idea.

He doesn't need a treasure room or anything like that, since he has nothing to hide anyway, but he absolutely needs Training Camp; he can't let such a large plot of land go to waste.

"Choose Training Camp direction."

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, the tower bridge shook again, and Gu Xi noticed that the appearance of the defensive tower that was originally located in the center of the tower bridge had changed.

The newly applied, undead-themed decorations were removed again, and windows appeared on the once impenetrable defensive towers.

At each window, there were dark figures looking out.

This bizarre situation startled Gu Xi as well.

However, upon closer inspection, Gu Xi realized that these were not human figures at all, but rather unfinished statues. He wondered who had erected these statues in the window.

As the statues appeared, Gu Xi noticed that some squatting Stone Statue had also appeared on the railings on both sides of the bridge.

These Stone Statue all resemble demons, with sharp teeth, curved horns, bat wings, and long, pointed tails.

This reminded Gu Xi of a type of soldier he had studied at the academy.

Gargoyle? Sure enough, the notification sound for the transformation being complete rang out the next instant.
