War Breaks Out on All Fronts (41149)

As the two sides' troops clashed, Gu Xi's attention returned to the battlefield.

He ignored the Death Avatar in the sky and instead kept unleashing White Bone Storm towards the area with the largest number of enemies.

Gu Xi has already tested it out, and this White Bone Storm is the most useful for the current large-scale situation.

Often, a single White Bone Storm will shred all enemies within a five-meter radius into pieces.

Outside of the White Bone Storm, there will always be some enemies who are squeezed into the range of the White Bone Storm due to the pressure from the troops behind them, thus increasing the success rate of the White Bone Storm.

With Gu Xi's support and the Death Avatar constantly swooping down from the sky, Gu Xi's troops gradually gained the upper hand despite their relatively even numbers.

Several Undead Headman were leading their troops forward. The Bonecleaver Battalion, which had just gained another leader, was extremely excited. Under the leadership of the two leaders, all the Skeleton Soldier wielded their Two-Handed Sword or long knives and charged into the enemy's battle formation.

They completely ignored the enemy's attacks, wielding their weapons with swift and decisive movements, advancing at a pace no slower than a fully replenished Battle Squad 1.

Where they charged, the enemy corpses were mostly decapitated or split in two on the spot, and their charge was directed towards the enemy leader.

Just then, Gu Xi, riding on his Skeleton Warhorse, suddenly heard a loud boom behind him.

He turned around and was surprised to find a white Defense Shield above the Undead Scourge ritual array.

The explosion just now came from there.

Could it be that while Gu Xi was dealing with these enemies, someone secretly went behind Stealing Home and raided the Undead Scourge Magic Array? This thought startled Gu Xi. His mission was to guard the token, not to kill as many enemies as possible.

If you lose the token while trying to kill an enemy, it would be a huge loss.

Without much thought, Gu Xi turned and ran towards the City Gate.

After running a few steps, Gu Xi discovered that the token was still under the protection of the City Gate and had not been attacked in any way.

"Fine."

Relieved, Gu Xi finally had the mind to consider the current situation.

What happened with that explosion? It was not only loud, but it also triggered the Defense Shield.

Gu Xi was unaware that just moments before, the outermost hundred nodes of the Undead Scourge ritual array had been simultaneously attacked by a large force of Otherworldly demons.

The necromancer players guarding these key locations have no ability to Gu Xi back enemies outside the Undead Scourge Magic Array.

They could only use three thousand Skeleton at each node to set up a defensive line there, and then bring along a few hundred of their own leveled undead as elite troops, waiting for the enemy to attack.

Of course, there is one advantage to doing this: the Skeleton that die in battle will be quickly replenished by the Undead Scourge ritual.

At the same time, the corpses of the enemies killed will be transformed into new undead by the Undead Scourge Ritual Circle and added to the player's army.

As long as you can withstand the enemy's first wave of attacks, the number of undead will only increase as you fight, and it's generally impossible to fail.

The players selected by the Mage Leader for these one hundred nodes were all well-known and powerful necromancers in the Loose Immortal Garden.

Everyone has one or two special skills.

They were able to withstand the first two or three waves of attacks.

The explosion Gu Xi heard just now was merely an effect of the Undead Scourge Ritual Array being impacted by an enemy.

This is the first wave of defense against the enemy, and it also serves as a reminder to players on other nodes that a node has been attacked, so you'd better be careful.

Gu Xi had never experienced anything like this before. He had just arrived at the Chaoyang Radiance Guild and hadn't even undergone any special training from the guild before being sent to the Loose Immortal Garden.

So he didn't know this. When he heard the explosion, Gu Xi still thought that the position he was guarding had been attacked, which made him take the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield and rush back to the City Gate.

Seeing that the tokens that needed to be guarded were safe, Gu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want the token to be Stealing Home by the enemy at this crucial moment.

After glancing at the token, Gu Xi was about to return to the battlefield when Gu Xi noticed that Luna thought something had happened because of his early departure, so she quickly arranged for some troops to come over.

This gave the enemy, who had been under heavy pressure, a chance to catch their breath.

Seeing the Ghost and Skeleton Archer Unit arriving, Gu Xi felt somewhat moved.

Knowing that the battle outside was at its fiercest, Luna still sent her most important troops over, which shows how much Luna cares about herself.

"I'm fine. Skeleton Archer Leader, take your Skeleton Archer Unit out. The battle outside isn't over yet."

Upon hearing this, the Skeleton Archer Leader decisively turned around and headed back the way he came.

Behind him followed all of Gu Xi's Skeleton Archer Unit.

Just as they were about to leave the area of Undead Scourge ritual array, the light on the token suddenly flashed.

The Mage Leader's voice came from the token.

"Attention everyone, the first wave of attacks has arrived, and we have already engaged the enemy in some areas."

Regardless of the current situation or the enemies we are facing, I only hope that my comrades can protect the nodes they are guarding and refrain from using spells like Corpse Explosion that damage corpses.

This battle will last a long time, so please make sure to calculate your troop strength carefully and be prepared to last at least 24 hours.

Twenty-four hours later, the Undead Scourge Ritual will enter its second phase, at which point we won't be under as much pressure.

During this time, the enemy will launch three to four waves of attacks. If an emergency occurs, you can activate the distress signal on the token, and nearby patrol troops will rush to your aid.

However, each person only has one chance to call for help, so don't use it carelessly.

We also ask those comrades who have spare capacity not to interfere with the defense of other nodes.

That would be irresponsible of oneself...

Listening to the Mage Leader's rambling voice, Gu Xi finally felt much more at ease.

From the words of the Mage Leader, he had already realized that the explosion just now was not due to a problem on his side, but rather that someone at another node had engaged in combat with the White Walkers.

The White Walkers even penetrated the Undead Scourge Magic Array, which caused the explosion.

It seems his decision to keep the enemy outside the ritual array of the Undead Scourge was correct.

Otherwise, he might be the one who loses face.
