The Enemy Appears
"My lord, wake up, my lord!"
In a daze, Gu Xi heard Luna's voice and even felt a cold little hand pressing against his face, as if trying to wake him up.
Gu Xi sat up and looked up at Luna, who was holding a roasted owl and a cup of Green Ghost in Luna hands.
"Thank you, that's exactly what I need right now, Luna. How long have I been asleep?"
Gu Xi glanced at the spirits who had already taken their positions and then reached out to accept the food and wine.
"About two and a half hours, sir, the Gargoyle and new Skeleton Soldier and Skeleton Archer are in position, and the enemy seems to be arriving soon."
"Arrive?"
Gu Xi tore off one of the owl's legs and bit down hard, while looking outside.
He noticed that a large number of strange creatures were approaching from about seven or eight kilometers away from his current location.
These creatures resembled mummies, but their skin was red. Among their ranks were some riding on the backs of yaks, beating drums made of some kind of hide, directing the troops in this direction.
Gu Xi could only see them from afar and had no way of judging their number and strength.
He glanced at Luna, then climbed the stairs behind the City Gate to the City Gate Tower.
Above the City Gate, 15 Gargoyle huddled together on the edge of the city wall, their wings covering their entire bodies, like Stone Statue, awaiting the order to attack.
"Go check on the enemy's situation."
Gu Xi gave the order sternly; if he hadn't been chewing on owl meat, he might have been even more authoritative.
Upon hearing this, the Gargoyle took flight, splitting into three groups of five and flying off into the distance.
Standing atop the City Gate Tower, Gu Xi realized that this was a more suitable position to command the battle.
Standing here, he can easily see everything within a two-kilometer radius.
This will make commanding battles much easier.
However, Gu Xi also knew that from this position, they were somewhat detached from the battlefield, and many spells could not extend to every corner of the battlefield.
At the same time, his position would prevent him from overseeing the battle below the City Gate, which would be a blind spot.
As Gu Xi was studying the feasibility of directing the battle from the City Gate Tower, the Gargoyle flew back.
Although they couldn't speak, communication wasn't a problem; they used dust to draw the enemy's situation on the ground.
The three circular scrolls arranged in a triangular pattern represent the battle formations the enemy sets up as they advance.
Although it's uncertain whether the number is three thousand or six thousand, one thing is certain: the enemy isn't the kind of guy who charges in blindly.
There should be a corresponding commander among them.
What kind of troops do they have?
Realizing that the enemy was not so easy to deal with, Gu Xi quickly asked questions.
Several Gargoyle were gesturing and explaining the situation to Gu Xi through their actions.
Gu Xi could glean many things from the Gargoyle's movements. Gu Xi understood that there was a reason why the Gargoyle were the mage's most capable subordinates.
Their movements were quite standard and easy to understand.
After observing for only a short while, Gu Xi understood the general situation of the enemy.
The enemies rushing in this wave weren't particularly strong; in the Gargoyle's own judgment, their strength was about the same as the Gargoyle's.
That would be between level 3 and 4.
The group consisted of three groups, mostly humanoid, and moved slowly. The Gargoyle could easily swoop over their heads four or five times before they could even react.
As for the enemy's combat strength, it is not clear yet, but judging from the current situation of these enemies, they are not fast, they are the kind with thick skin and high health.
Gu Xi pondered for a moment, then looked down at the area below the City Gate Tower.
At this moment, Luna was leading the Undead Army, commanding the ordinary undead that had just been transformed.
Faced with this situation, Gu Xi decisively said, "Luna."
Hearing the sound, Luna looked up at Gu Xi and saw that Gu Xi on the City Gate Tower was making a pushing motion.
So Luna flew forward with the Ghost, and at the same time, the Skeleton that had been inside the Undead Scourge Magic Array also headed outwards under Luna's guidance.
The Skeleton that rushed out were all newly transformed Skeleton. They didn't even have a proper set of equipment. Their weapons were Longsword or short axes made of bones.
But under Luna's leadership, they marched with the momentum of an invincible army.
As for Gu Xi's troops, only the Skeleton Archer Leader received orders to go out; the rest remained in place, including the Bonecleaver Battalion, showing no intention of launching an attack.
As the Undead Army launched its attack, Gu Xi also ran down from the City Gate Tower. Standing on the Evil Coffin, with the Cold Wind Staff in one hand, he went directly to the front line of the battlefield to watch the Undead Army launch its attack.
Fifteen Gargoyle hovered in the sky.
As the Undead Army moved out of the Undead Scourge's control, Gu Xi could feel the ground begin to shake again.
This is because there are no longer enough undead here, so the ritual of the Undead Scourge is sending new undead over.
However, since the original spirits that belonged here did not die, the new spirits can only stay underground and cannot climb out yet.
Upon making this discovery, Gu Xi smiled.
Now he no longer needs to worry about the number of troops under his command.
Without considering the undead's troop strength, the undead only have one way of fighting: a frontal assault.
"Kill!"
Upon hearing Gu Xi's roar, the Skeleton, who had been walking, began to charge.
Their sudden charge startled the three troops that were rushing towards them.
To the Red Skin Dried Corpse, this was highly illogical.
They could understand that the Undead Army would leave their lines.
After all, there will always be some players who are used to keeping the enemy outside their lines of defense.
But they are still nearly 1,500 Domi apart, so why did they launch an attack?
Could it be that these Skeleton Soldier possess other unparalleled fighting methods? The Red Skin Dried Corpse leader was somewhat helpless. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his weapon and gave the order to charge at the oncoming Skeleton Soldier.
Then all the Red Skin Dried Corpse started running, and even the drumbeats in their ranks became noticeably faster.
Seeing the Red Skin Dried Corpse also charge, Gu Xi laughed. Their charge threw the ranks into disarray.
Moreover, the early charge disrupted the opponent's rhythm, and the situation is now under Gu Xi's control.
At this moment, Gu Xi tapped the Evil Coffin with his Cold Wind Staff, and the Evil Coffin began to move forward with all its might, rushing towards the battlefield.
