"Has it finally arrived?"

About two hours after other nodes were attacked, the Gargoyle finally brought back the latest news.

The enemy has arrived for this wave of attacks.

However, the number of enemies was somewhat chaotic, Gargoyle, unable to speak, could not give a detailed estimate of the number of enemies.

Nearly 10,000 people! Gu Xi was speechless at this news.

He hadn't expected the enemy to either not come at all, or to come in such large numbers all at once.

This force clearly indicates that two waves of enemies attacked together.

Although he didn't understand what was going on, the enemy had already attacked, and Gu Xi had to fight back.

Standing atop the City Gate Tower, Gu Xi struck the ground heavily with his Cold Wind Staff.

"The enemy is in position. Everyone, prepare for battle. This time, the enemy numbers are quite large, so we cannot stray too far to engage them. As required, the Zombie troops will move out first and set up their formation fifty meters outside the Undead Scourge Ritual Formation."

The Skeleton Archer Unit followed behind.

The other troops should split up on both sides and get ready quickly.

"The leader should come here before he attacks to collect some food to bolster the fighting strength of his elite troops."

At this point, Gu Xi pointed in the direction of the [Rotting Endless Food Basket] and ordered his men to take action.

However, after assigning all his subordinates to their posts, Gu Xi couldn't help but touch his own stomach.

It seems that ever since Luna went to Victoria City, no one has taken Gu Xi's affairs.

Not only did they not send any Green Ghost wine that could boost magic power, but they didn't even send any food.

Gu Xi was now extremely hungry.

The food in the Rotting Endless Food Basket can only be eaten by the undead.

This left Gu Xi speechless.

However, he didn't dwell on the matter for long.

He had even eaten rat meat while in prison, and he would go hungry when there was nothing else to eat.

This is nothing compared to what's happening right now.

After this battle is over, he can find a chance to go back to Aryadovi City to have something to eat. Right now, he still needs to deal with the enemy first.

While Gu Xi was giving instructions to his men, the White Walker forces had already appeared on the other side of the horizon.

Gu Xi finally understood what the Gargoyle meant.

This time, it's really hard to calculate the number of White Walker troops.

Within the nearly 10,000-strong army, there were more than twenty completely different and bizarre races.

The mix of these racial groups made the entire force look like a ragtag army.

Their leaders didn't care about the matter at all. They all seemed to be preoccupied with their own thoughts, only focusing on leading their men forward with their heads down, without any intention of reorganizing the troops.

Such a chaotic battle formation naturally made it difficult for the Gargoyle to determine the number of the enemy.

In fact, even if Gu Xi saw the scene before him, let alone the Gargoyle, he could only sigh and casually estimate that there were nearly 10,000 people.

As for the opponent's strength, Gu Xi couldn't tell at all.

"Zombie with Long Spear, get ready. We'll attack when the enemy gets any closer."

Gu Xi only considered it briefly before making the decision to fight head-on.

As Gu Xi gave the order, the Death Avatar in the sky landed on the City Gate Tower, turning its head to stare at the White Walker troops rushing towards them.

At this moment, a group of the fastest-moving White Walkers had already approached the Undead Scourge ritual array.

Standing on the City Gate Tower, Gu Xi saw some of the White Walker army's arrangements.

There are nine Otherworldy Ghost Leader in the White Walker army, three of whom are at the forefront.

What attracted the most Gu Xi was a Cheongsam Woman holding Oiled Paper Umbrella. However, unlike normal people, this woman's skin was clearly a sky-blue color, and her hair and eyebrows were crimson.

The White Baboon Skin was draped over her shoulders like a shawl.

As she walked forward, a layer of ice appeared on the ground, and even snowflakes fell on the surface of her Oiled Paper Umbrella.

When she was about fifty meters away from the Zombie army, the Cheongsam Woman raised her Oiled Paper Umbrella.

"The Weather Change! Heavy Snowfall!!"

At this command, the woman's feet were quickly frozen, and then a cold wind spread outwards from the woman.

Those standing on the City Gate Tower could feel snowflakes falling from the sky.

This is a weather-related spell.

Gu Xi glanced at the falling snowflakes with a hint of speechlessness, and his judgment of the Otherworldy Ghost Leader improved somewhat.

Why doesn't he have a leader like that under his command?

At that moment, two of the three Otherworldy Ghost Leader who were at the forefront also made their move.

One of the Otherworldy Ghost Leader was covered in frost, his skin was shrunken and his muscles were withered, and his hair had turned gray. White Baboon Skin was wrapped around his chest like a bandage, and from the part exposed under the baboon skin, it could be seen that a large hole had been cut in his chest.

He held a Long Spear made of Ice Crystal in his hand.

As the woman released snowflakes, he leaped upwards and rushed forward, stepping on the snowflakes.

It was obvious that he wanted to bypass the front lines of defense and confront Gu Xi directly.

The other one was dragging a black coffin forward slowly with an iron chain. A white baboon skin covered the black coffin, and it was unclear whether the coffin or the White Otherworldy Ghost Leader carrying a rapier was the real body.

Dragging the coffin, he walked faster and faster, and before the Otherworld Soldier behind him could catch up, he had already rushed to the front of the Zombie.

Before the Zombie could make a move, the Otherworldy Ghost Leader simply swept his hand across the ground, throwing the coffin that had been dragging behind him right in front of the Zombie.

The Zombie had already received Gu Xi's orders: when encountering enemies, do not panic, just follow the steps and thrust out the Long Spear in your hands.

So even when faced with a coffin hurtling towards them, they acted as before.

But to their surprise, the coffin was quite eerie. Despite simply encountering Zombie, all the Zombie seemed to have lost their souls, turning into lifeless corpses and collapsing on the spot.

This situation made Gu Xi think of a possibility.

The necromancer's greatest enemy.

Soul Thief.

This is a profession that may not be very strong, but is highly targeted.

Their most distinctive feature is that they can extract the souls of the dead summoned by Summoning.

In other words, if necromancers were to fight them using a sea of bones, it would be a tragedy.

Fortunately, this profession is not strong in other aspects. Their soul extraction can only target the dead summoned by Summoning. Naturally appearing dead will not be affected.

Not to mention living people.

Therefore, unless one is extremely hostile to necromancers, very few people would choose this profession.

Gu Xi was taken aback when he encountered such a profession here.

While he was distracted, the White Walker wielding Ice Crystal Spear rushed through the snowflakes to the City Gate, his target being Gu Xi, who was standing on the City Gate Tower.
