Half an hour later, the White Walker army reappeared in Gu Xi's sight.

Because of their previous two failures, the White Walker forces stopped resorting to sneak attacks or other tricks.

This time, they only intend to use military force to crush Gu Xi.

With this in mind, the White Walkers that came this time didn't use many tricks; they were all regular, capable troops, and their numbers were quite large.

Leading the way was a rather rare Knight Squad.

The three hundred knights were all clad in bright green armor, each wielding Long Spear that resembled a carousel outside a barbershop. They deliberately controlled the speed of their warhorses as they advanced, refraining from launching a direct charge.

Behind them followed attendants, swordsmen, and Spearmen dressed in purple robes.

Apart from their messy purple hair and clown-like faces, these soldiers were otherwise no different from normal soldiers.

They were all the kind who wore chainmail and carried powerful weapons.

Most importantly, Gu Xi saw a battle flag directly in front of the Knight Squad and directly in front of the squires, swordsmen, and Spearmen.

The Knight Squad were flying a battle flag with two balloons that had collided, one red and one green, which stood out quite prominently against the white background.

The banners carried by the squires, swordsmen, and Spearmen depicted a flail, a Long Spear, and a Longsword crossed on a shield.

These two battle flags clearly illustrate one point.

These two units are considered the core forces of the White Walkers.

These powerful troops, along with the scattered White Walkers accompanying these two forces, totaled nearly six thousand people, yet they brought Gu Xi more pressure than ever before.

Watching the enemy troops advance slowly, Gu Xi's expression hardened. He jumped onto the Evil Coffin and then raised the Cold Wind Staff.

"Raise the flag! All undead, prepare for battle! Battle Squad 1, lead all the undead with Long Spear to the front and face the enemy cavalry charge head-on."

The Bonecleaver Battalion and Battle Squad 2 prepare to flank and clear out the enemy's rear troops, while the Ghost attack the enemy's main force.

Skeleton Archer and Skeleton Mage followed me, ready to attack at my command. They all sprang into action.

Under Gu Xi's command, the White Walker army, which was advancing slowly, had already rushed to the front of the Undead Scourge Magic Array.

As they prepared to launch their attack, an unexpected situation arose.

More than half an hour ago, Gu Xi blew up a castle here. Although he gained nothing and even lost a Training Camp, he still left a big crater on the ground.

The Knight Squad began their charge from about 200 meters away from the Undead Scourge Magic Array never expected things to turn out this way.

Before reaching the crater, they had to slow down and find another way to bypass it.

This gave Gu Xi an opportunity, and the Skeleton Archer and Skeleton Mage decisively launched a saturation attack on the Knight Squad.

Meanwhile, the Ghost flew over the crater and pounced head-on on the main force behind the Knight Squad.

Just then, the Knight Squad changed direction, splitting into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, trying to bypass the crater and charge again.

So when they split up, they conveniently gave up the main force behind them.

The main force did not expect the Knight Squad to suddenly stop. The ranks were already in disarray, with some soldiers having stopped and others still pushing forward.

They did not pick up their weapons immediately and were not prepared for battle.

When the Ghost pounced, they fought back in a chaotic manner.

Engaging the enemy at this moment would immediately cause the White Walkers' forces to become disorganized.

Without the support of the main force, the Knight Squad split up and charged to both sides.

As soon as the enemy made that move, Gu Xi saw an opportunity. "Quickly, Battle Squad 1, move up! All Spearmen, move to the left. Ignore the situation on the right and go over there!"

The enemy's splitting of forces at this time presented a good opportunity for Gu Xi. He decisively made the opposite decision to the White Walkers, concentrating his superior forces to eliminate a wave of Otherworld Ghost Knight first.

Upon seeing this situation, the Skeleton Head of Battle Squad 1 immediately understood Gu Xi's intentions.

Without much thought, he led his Battle Squad 1 and all the undead wielding Long Spear Long Spear lances to the left.

As he charged forward, he didn't forget to adjust the steps of these undead.

Forward, slow down, try again, forward.

When these undead appeared before the Otherworld Ghost Knight, they had already adjusted their pace; whether Zombie or Skeleton, they all moved forward at the same speed.

At the same time, all the Long Spear and Long Spear in their hands stabilized, and no matter how they moved, all the Long Spear pointed straight into the air.

This demonstrates that they have achieved unified control over their weapons, enabling them to coordinate their attacks when encountering enemies.

Meanwhile, the 150 Otherworld Ghost Knight had already bypassed the crater and were preparing to charge again.

But before they could charge, all the undead, under the command of the Skeleton Head leader, raised their Long Spear.

He lowered the Long Spear, held it horizontally, stepped forward, and thrust it straight in.

Just as these undead thrust their Long Spear forward, that was exactly when these Otherworld Ghost Knight began their attack.

The Long Spear were thrust out of their hands and pierced right into the Otherworld Ghost Knight's mount.

The Otherworld Ghost Knight's charge was interrupted once more. At this moment, the undead moved again, advancing, thrusting, sheathing their spears, advancing...

They were like ruthless attack machines; they set up a Long Spear formation but didn't use it for defense, instead engaging the enemy head-on.

The Otherworld Ghost Knight, thanks to their higher level and greater health, managed to withstand a wave of attacks, while their Long Spear pierced the undead.

Although they lacked the boost from a charge attack, their offensive power still surpassed that of the undead.

The undead cannot kill these Otherworld Ghost Knights with a single spear thrust, but the Otherworld Ghost Knight can easily kill the undead who are facing them.

They just didn't expect that the undead didn't care about their own lives at all. In fact, they thought that if the undead in front died in battle, the corresponding positions would be vacated.

The Undead Horse follow, advancing and thrusting their Long Spear forward as before.

Their demands weren't high; taking away a few Otherworld Ghost Knight each time would be enough.

As long as they keep killing, the Otherworld Ghost Knight will all be wiped out.

With this thought in mind, the Skeleton Head pressed down on his Long Spear and thrust out another attack.

[When the Skeleton Head (Summoned Creature) kills a Level 6 Otherworld Ghost Knight, you gain 1 experience point, your Battle Squad gains 1 experience point, the Summoned Creature gains 30 experience points, and the Summoned Creature's level increases to Level 4.]
