Retreat from the Battlefield

Gu Xi reached out and placed his hand on the token. In the next instant, Gu Xi felt a powerful pulling force lifting him upwards.

Then Gu Xi felt as if he had been stuffed into a washing machine, his body was being constantly agitated, wrung out, and filled with a large amount of water.

Under such effects, Gu Xi's body was almost torn apart. When everything stopped, Gu Xi found himself lying on the ground, with pain all over his body, and he couldn't even stand up.

"There's another one here, hurry and save him."

Before Gu Xi could look up and see his surroundings, a voice rang in his ear.

Several people quickly surrounded him, roughly turned Gu Xi over, and shoved a bottle of medicine into his mouth.

The medicine was fishy, bitter, and unpleasant to drink; Gu Xi almost threw up everything she had eaten a few days ago.

He quickly sat up, pulled the bottle out of his mouth, and was about to spit it out when he realized that his injuries seemed to have almost healed.

His magic power, life force, and physical strength have all been fully restored.

Upon closer inspection of the purple liquid inside the bottle, Gu Xi asked a question with some hesitation.

"Is this Full Recovery Potion?"

"Good eye, but it's just a substandard product; the taste is truly awful."

As soon as Gu Xi finished complaining, someone immediately responded.

Gu Xi turned his head and saw a pale-faced necromancer player sitting right next to him.

"Comrade, where are you stationed?"

Seeing that Gu Xi was looking over, the player asked him questions as if they were old friends.

"Outer nodes".

Having guarded that position for so long, with most of the White Walker forces attacking from in front of him, how could Gu Xi not know where he was guarding?

"Huh, an outer node?"

Upon hearing this, the player exclaimed loudly, "My God, wasn't it said that all the outer nodes were destroyed?"

"No way, we've been keeping watch all along."

At that moment, another necromancer player, carrying a staff, walked over from the other side.

"Don't treat us like dead people. We were just badly beaten, but we're still alive."

"Exactly, whoever spread the rumor that we're all dead."

"That's right, we're still alive, and none of the rewards will escape."

As they were talking, several more players gathered around.

Upon hearing their words, Gu Xi understood that these were players like himself, guarding the outer nodes of the Undead Scourge Magic Array.

Although the node fell into the hands of the White Walkers in the final wave, these undead had essentially risked their lives.

With the limited forces of the Undead Scourge Magic Array, facing the endless stream of Others, they had truly done their best to hold out until the very end.

Even a player like Gu Xi almost thought he was doomed.

Gu Xi, in any case, can really understand these players' attitudes now.

He stood up with a smile and walked up to the players. "Brothers, my name is Gu Xi, and I'm guarding the outer nodes."

"Hello, judging from your appearance, you've exhausted all your troops, haven't you?"

"You're on the front lines too? Me too. I'm not afraid to tell you, I used to want to become a Death Knight, but I just didn't have the talent. But I'm full of melee fighting spirit."

Do you know how we necromancers can bypass the limitations of Death Knight and form our own Knight Order?

How do we bypass it?

Gu Xi became curious upon hearing this.

"Don't listen to him. That's just his own wishful thinking. He's neglecting his own talent because of this. He clearly has strength above level 5, but he's just hanging around here."

"So what if I'm just muddling along? I've been researching this for a long time, and I've found that it's actually quite possible."

Listen to this!

Hearing this, the players laughed.

Gradually, Gu Xi discovered that the number of such players around him was increasing, and their voices were getting louder.

Gu Xi understood this situation; the players assigned to the outer nodes of the Undead Scourge Magic Array were unconsciously sticking together.

This was out of fear that his achievements would be erased, and also out of a desire to fight for the lives of his comrades who had died alongside him.

"You're all here."

Just as the players gathered together, the Mage Leader also walked out from not far away.

Gu Xi noticed that the Mage Leader looked quite weak at this moment, as if he would collapse at any moment if he were to be shaken a little more.

However, he still managed to get here despite his exhaustion. The Mage Leader knew very well that no matter what kind of unit it was, the rewards had to be distributed as soon as possible.

The leaders who delayed distributing rewards are now buried in the ground.

Upon arriving among the players, the Mage Leader immediately spotted a group of about thirty players gathered together.

These are all players who survived from the outer nodes.

Although communication with these nodes had been severed, the Mage Leader was well aware that all the players were fighting desperately.

Without their sacrifice, this Undead Scourge ritual would not have been so easy to complete.

Now that these players have survived, no matter how hard or tiring it is for the necromancers in the core positions, it can't compare to those who risked their lives.

The Mage Leader arrived immediately. He shook hands with each player, thanking them for their contributions in the battle. He then took out prepared rewards from behind his back and handed them to the respective players.

Judging from the players' expressions, they were very satisfied with the rewards.

Soon the Mage Leader walked up to Gu Xi and grabbed Gu Xi hand before Gu Xi could speak.

"Comrade Gu, this time you faced the most dangerous enemy in the entire Undead Scourge Magic Array. You managed to hold it, which means you gave it your all."

No need to explain, I know what to do.

This is the reward I promised you. With this Delivery Note, you can pick up the remaining twenty Building Blueprint.

Furthermore, we will find a way to compensate you for the losses you incurred in this battle.

All the undead who survived the battle at your position will be added to your ranks.

This is the Undead Transfer Horn. They are currently buried under the ice and snow of the Undead Scourge Magic Array. Just blow the horn and they will appear in front of you.

Additionally, this is an extra reward for you. These are various resources needed for building construction. The quantity is not large, but it's just a small token of our appreciation.

When you go to pick up the Building Blueprint, you can stop by to pick them up on your way.

Furthermore, this is the Undead Scourge Ritual Badge, which signifies that you participated in an Undead Scourge Ritual and contributed significantly as a key player in the ritual.

You can paint this on your battle flag to prove your bravery.

Looking at the things the Mage Leader brought, Gu Xi couldn't help but admire the Mage Leader's way of doing things, which was so thorough.

The rewards he offered included everything the players wanted: the initial promises, the later compensation, physical prizes, and accolades.

With such a reward, even the most picky and dissatisfied players would have nothing to say.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi glanced at the Mage Leader, reached out and took the things that were offered, and said softly.

Thank you!
