Victory Reward

After Luna returned to Aryadovi City, Gu Xi let out a long sigh of relief. He patted his face to clear his head, and then turned his gaze to the undead under his command.

Although Luna left with part of her troops, Gu Xi still had enough soldiers at his disposal.

Gu Xi doesn't need to worry about things like insufficient troops after Luna leaves.

After reorganizing the Undead Army, Gu Xi found a place to sit down, took out a few skill books, and began to read.

From the previous two battles, Gu Xi already knew that the four new skills he learned during major battles were quite useful.

Since he had some free time, Gu Xi took out the four skill books to read, hoping to improve the experience and level of each skill.

While Gu Xi was reading, the undead under his command were not idle either.

Several Undead Headman were selecting and training undead who were not under their control.

They need to know how to coordinate on the battlefield.

They also distributed some weapons and equipment to these undead.

The Skeleton Head from Battle Squad 1 was even there teaching some Zombie how to use Long Spear.

However, the Undead Scourge ritual array is not omnipotent; it cannot conjure corresponding weapons for the undead. Currently, most of the thousands of undead soldiers are still using bone weapons.

But they were quite honest; no matter how weak their weapons were, they were always there practicing their teamwork.

Gu Xi would look up at the spirits every twenty minutes or so, then lower his head and continue reading.

The area outside the ritual array for this Undead Scourge was very safe, and no enemies appeared.

Gu Xi didn't know why, but as far as he was concerned, since the enemy hadn't appeared, he would just wait.

Time flew by as Gu Xi read and practiced.

About four hours later, a flash of white light appeared on the token protected by the City Gate, and the voice of the Mage Leader came again.

"Comrades, we have repelled the enemy's first wave of attacks. This is our victory. Now, all players, please give the order for your undead subordinates to raise their weapons."

Gu Xi was also stunned for a moment upon hearing the words of the Mage Leader.

It seems that no enemy attacks have occurred during this period because the battles at other nodes have not yet ended.

But why was he ordering all his undead subordinates to raise their weapons? Was it a new ritual? Although puzzled, Gu Xi still gave the order.

"Listen up, everyone! Raise your weapons!"

After saying Gu Xi raised the Cold Wind Staff.

At Gu Xi's command, all the undead raised their weapons, and even the unarmed Ghost raised their right hands.

In the next instant, countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky, striking all the undead with pinpoint accuracy.

Gu Xi himself was also struck by lightning.

After a tingling sensation, Gu Xi felt as if his strength had increased.

He quickly checked his status and found that a small line of text had appeared after his status.

[Received Victor's Reward: Level 1, double health and mana, lasting until the Undead Scourge ends.]

After glancing at his own condition, Gu Xi quickly jumped in front of the undead under his command.

He discovered that his undead subordinates had also received a blessing, but they received a +1 level bonus. This level increase would remain until the Undead Scourge ritual array ended.

It's clear that this time the Victor's Reward is intended to upgrade the Undead Army's level.

This is to give players a stronger force to deal with increasingly powerful enemies in the upcoming battles.

However, the undead that are most affected by the changes are those sent over by the Undead Scourge ritual array or those summoned by the necromancy.

In addition to all of them gaining a level, they also acquired more weapons and equipment.

Gu Xi noticed that the weapons and equipment given this time were not given according to the most basic route, but according to the player's arrangement for the undead.

The Zombie undergoing training by the Skeleton Head of Battle Squad 1, for example, were now carrying a Long Spear instead of the short axes and kitchen knives that normal Zombie wield.

This gave Gu Xi a sudden insight, and he began to consider whether he should learn the rituals of the Undead Scourge.

This magic circle looks really useful.

Just then, the voice of the Mage Leader came from the token again.

"Attention, comrades! The enemy will arrive in two hours. Now you can familiarize yourselves with your enhanced subordinates. I hope you will continue your efforts in the battle two hours from now and kill all the enemies!"

"I'll say it again now, the enemy will arrive in two hours. Now you can take this opportunity to familiarize yourselves with your subordinates' strength, have some food and drink, and get a good rest to prepare for the new battle."

"We will face three more waves of this battle. I hope everyone can survive the upcoming battles."

Gu Xi was somewhat puzzled by what the Mage Leader said.

He felt like he had been abandoned, because what the Mage Leader had said was different from what he was experiencing.

Just as Gu Xi was wondering, a large raven flew over from a distance and landed directly in front of Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was also puzzled by the sudden appearance of the raven. However, the raven stretched out its claws and showed Gu Xi letter tied to its claws, which reminded Gu Xi that it was a messenger from the Chaoyang Radiance Guild.

Gu Xi quickly took down the letter, opened it, and found that it was indeed a letter from the Mage Leader.

"Comrade Gu, you must be wondering why your position is different from the others."

In fact, your location is the starting point of the enemy invasion. You will encounter enemies earlier and more frequently than other nodes.

Although I'm not quite sure why I haven't received any notification from the magic array that your node has been attacked until now.

But I believe you are suppressing this point.

I also hope that you can hold this position well. No matter what the situation is like in other places, as long as you can hold your position, victory will be ours.

..."

As Gu Xi scrolled through the text messages in front of him, the last trace of doubt in his heart slowly dissipated.

Some of the things that puzzled Gu Xi were also explained.

At the same time, Gu Xi also guessed some of the Mage Leader's plans.

No matter how grand his plan was, in this battle, Gu Xi was just a pawn, pinned to the spot, unable to move.

"It seems we still lack the strength."

Gu Xi turned his gaze to the outside of the Undead Scourge Magic Array, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
